I've been encouraging my friends to set aside their preconceptions 
about Asbury Park, and experience First Saturday.... with limited 
success.  To force participation, I offered to treat my friends to 
dinner this past Saturday.  "You'll love it!  The merchants are all 
open late, the sidewalks are alive, we'll usually spot Kevin Quinn 
playing music, and there is a police presence..."

Well, we met in The Arcade on Cookman at about 6PM. We would stroll 
around and then dine at Raffertys. I lead the way.  No sooner had we 
taken 20 steps out of The Arcade, I glanced back to see my "party" had 
been approached and then detained by two women (late teens early 
twenties) who were adamant about their wanting 50 cent from each of us.
 

Unfortunately, THAT will be the experience repeated to our friends' 
friends.
