Miami festival turns 20,000 pounds of tomatoes into ammunition


Miami street runs red with tomato juice
What's a farm to do with a winter excess of tomatoes? At Miami's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, some 20,000 pounds were turned into ammunition at a festival on Saturday, the Miami Herald reports. Participants, mostly college students, went into attack mode after James Goll, who markets the festival, gave the call: "Let's fire it up." The concept was simple: Launch as many tomatoes as your arms can wield. Wash it off at the nearby shower. Wash it down with more beer. The free-for-all lasted about 45 minutes until a fire truck washed away the mashed-up mess. It formed a river of red out into the parking lot and onto the street. A day's worth of fun down the drain.
