Here it is, Humboldt! Your evidence that none of the unfortunate souls that attended the fence-enclosed 2013 Oyster Fest had any fun whatsoever. This thing looks like Pelican Bay with seafood.

Thank heavens local camera-slinger Malcolm DeSoto was on hand to document such a debacle. Highlights of this brief clip include time-lapse video of now cash-strapped foodies wandering the Plaza, the star-studded Shuck and Swallow contest and the top secret oyster judging inner sanctum.

And if you were thinking to yourself, “Man, it’s been too long since I allowed myself to be pumped up by Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown,’” well, good news …

Enjoy.
