Permanent Alternative Street Names

Maybe it's time that we just give up on the street name thing. OH we can't stop the llc from giving the streets names of amazing lameness every year, but we can develop our own litany of names to be used year after year so we don't have to clutter up our minds with their top-down impositions.

We could, for instance, name the streets after the kinds of people who attend the event.
Asshole (or Artist, many can't tell the difference when you get down to it)
Burner
Cacophonists (or Cacos)
Drama Queens (or Divas)
Extravagent Extroverts
Frat Boys
G
Hippies

Or we could celebrate the variety of liquids we imbibe (much to the disgust of some of those who are trying to burn sober.)
Absinthe
Beer
Cape Codder
Drambouie
E
Fat Tire Ale
Gin and Tonic
Hot Toddy
I
Jack Daniels

Or maybe it's foodstuffs
A
Bacon
Curry in a Bag
Dried Fruit
Energy Bar
Frozen Otter Pops
G
Hot Sauce
Indian Tacos
Jicama

This is just a start, more brain storming to be done, and I'm sure there are other "themes" we could explore, but I could really use a list of streets that will stick in my mind this year.

How could you leave cognac out?

Everyone just calls them A Street, B Street and so on anyway.
I still like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...

It's called "freedom juice" these days.
