Lot's of things are being kicked around. It looks like we may be having the mother of all raft ups at the swimming hole Sat afternoon. It may be complete with a band and of course the famous drink machine. The A Dock crew is getting pumped.

Oh yeah, Roadtrip may be arranging some violins to be playing at dinner, (JK on that one).

I'm into culture, not cultures, but violins at A-Dock could get a man shot. Twice.

We will eat very well Saturday night, if I know this crew.

I'm jealous... :( This event is the first day of our 6 week "vacation" at the cottage with new boats and stuff. We can not make it and there is some other stuff going on :(

I WOULD LOVE to have a quick 4 in Chatt at that Mexican Restaurant... :)

Well, I guess we could start a new twist on an old favorite for Len and anybody else who can't attend but wishes they could, the remote Bushwacker. Better invite a few friends though, because remote or not, drinking a batch of Bushwackers on a solo basis will kill you.

So hypothetically speaking, if one were to show up with say, oh about 1200 watts o stereo power,:holy: a mixing board and an I-pod full of music for the evenings festivities, what would the prefered music genre be?? :rock2::whee:

There's a couple of days of the year that I get to enjoy "SRV's" "Riviera Paradise" over the sound of a V-8 bubbling through the water....

...otherwise I'm "eclectic" music-wise....got any Mozart ??

Have to admit it, but.....love the 80's....Kinks, The Police......?

The music will be theme songs for the classic porn movies.

Or maybe just some classic rock. :rock2:We will have a band on top of a 3 story houseboat. The Roamer will obviously be rafted up. Mr Cam is helping with the shuttle.

Working on that. This is going to be kind of a joint party with the marina, A Dock and Team Hedge. For instance, I will often supply a round of bushwhackers (machine full). SE is bringing steaks (big hit last time), Poodles food was a hit too. At big parties like July 4th we passed the hat as we can't all cook and if everyone bought a machine full of bushwhackers.....well we would have to drink them all and that might not be good.

It was an easier deal with just A Dock. That being said, it is going to be a heck of a party.

MadPoodle

07-12-2011, 10:00 PM

OK, so eclectic it is.. Mozart, a bit of Bach, some Waylon, Frampton, Clapton, Corbin, Tedeschi Trucks, Ziggy Marley, Garth, Dixie Chicks, and a few surprises tossed into the mix..

No Johnny though, does that man EVER sing something cheerful?

Absolutely not! Although the Orange seems to be shown around football season, many of us wear Red and other colors.

Rocky Top seems to attract the Marion County locals down from the hills. We are ok without that.

They tend to make one have an aggressive reaction against drunk boaters that try to pull off a hit and run at the dock but then that is another story.:w:

There will be no karoke. If you want that we can go to the Mexican joint on Thurs. Remind me to tell the story of the guy that butchered Bohemian Rapsody one night. He actually thought he nailed it. It really sounded like someone was skinning cats. We told him that he was awesome as we left for the Roamer. I am glad that we did not stop at Ronny's Red Eye on the way home. It was off the hook.

In lieu of karoke, we will have a break dance pad. I heard that SE does a mean headspin. Buiz can do the centipede but only after going to Subway!

You do realize you can always chase a bad song out of your head by introducing a worse song into it. (Repeating this process until "Feliz Navidad" is stuck in your head, and then you have to actually get that out somehow on your own.)

Guys, are you trying to spend ALL of my money?! And Phil, just so you know, I'd go KY colors before those dreadful crimson or orange and blue. Still hope for your scheme! Haha.

I was thinking something more along the lines of a lop-sided trophy. You know, like a pinewood derby trophy, only instead of a little wooden car on the top, there would be a little spray painted boat. Or we could really go in style with a plaque with Jamie and Garth's faces on it.

Looks like you could just not resist taking another cheap shot at me here with this mention of our family's old Grumble Green Jet X-18 .
Despite what your existing factory records say~
This boat DID EXIST !
How do you guy explain the fact that your records also claim that no jet 16s were ever built despite the fact that several are known to exist today ?
There are actual photos of that Red jet Donzi 16 posted on .net.
A Yellow Jet 16 is also said to exist today in New York .
Your factory records seem to be incomplete on the jet drive Donzis.
