The Raft

QUOTE(John Maniaci @ Aug 9 2004, 12:05 PM)I always thought that too....back in the day, Jobbie was in the bay.

I remebr them days Mini !

I was very impressed. Everyone did a very good job at keeping the area clean as well! Much nicer than Gull

The raft rocked! One of the best times at the moot!

Thanks Mooseknuckle for those martini shots...that was just the buffer!

It was great meeting you too Mrs. Knuckle!!

It was great to see everyone! It took me a total of four hours to walk from one end to the other. My legs are sore, but well worth the adventure!!

A HUGE congrats to all that organized this event! Don't get discouraged by people telling you what you "should have done". You all did a great job. I have some experience organizing events involving thousands of people and I have to say that for your first year, well. . . WOW!! I was super impressed

Good to meet you Hammer, and Bobrob (your dogs are so cute and SUPER mellow)

OK, so now that we know we can get 2000-3000 boats (over 6000 people?) in the bay for one day, there should be no problem getting companies like Bud Light, Coors, Absolut, BoatUS, Searay, etc... to sponsor the event, and attend next year. And, there ought to be a lot more people willing to help organize.

Did anyone notice that there were over 100 people on this site this morning. Isn't that another record?

Later

PS just an thought as I walked thru the gaunlet Saturday and Sunday: all you cute straight guys with 6 pack abs who pierce your nipples, all I can say is DON'T pierce them, it totally throws my gaydar out of whack

We had a great time! What a site is right, it was awesome! And the weather was PERFECT!! Thank you to all who organized the raft. Your hard work was successful! You should have no problem next year getting help/sponsors!!

The tot-lot thanks you Eddie for the melons

Those weren't beer goggles you were wearing were they?

LOL, maybe it wasn't anyone from this board, but we saw them. Bouys Will Be Bouys can back me up on my claim. I mean, I certainly shouldn't complain . . .

And to the one woman we saw with the "reverse butt floss" well, that was a first for me, on SOOOO MANY levels

Reverse butt floss???
Ha! That's a first for me

I need to hi-jack the thread a little as a Thank You. About 2 pm going through collecting registrations I didn't have any blank ones. Some people who are lurkers allowed me aboard to radio Raft Support and let me wait until someone brought me forms. As I was leaving they gave me beer as I was really thirsty. I don't know who you are, but Thank You!!! You are all really great!!

First I have to brush away the cobb-webs......

OK, well that was the BEST way to see all my LSCN friends again after such a long time. I had a ball and must've blacked out after a while as I don't remember half the crap I heard from my girlfriend. :

I think I fell off Wetbar's boat at least 2-3 times from being sh!tfaced. I guess that's what happens when you drink half a case od Bud Light, half a dozen of Mooseknuckles' Chocolate Martini Shots, a fifth of Smirnoff (with Red Bull) and those Chocolate smoothy things John was making on his boat with the gas powered blender.

Why wait till next year lets do it again this weekend!

Were you floating a box around? I think we gave you beer? Bud light or Miller Light? We were next to the house boat?
I could be wrong, but my buddy gave someone in the support crew beer

QUOTE(JABBERJAWZ @ Aug 9 2004, 01:22 PM)The only thing I can say is that I wish everyone would keep all their own cans and garbage in their boats, not in the bottom of the bay. I was out there yesterday and picked up tons of cans and garbage that was left to sink for everyone to step on.
I walked to Gauntlet and filled a cooler full Sat. (and no, it wasn't all from me. I was catching all the straglers, alot of people were asking to put their cans in there though. Thanks Guys & Gals
Some people are pigs though!

We had a great time Saturday! I applaud all the hard work that was put into this event. It was nice to meet you DawnieDawn! Need some more shots?? Moose sure knows how to get things going. It was also great to finally meet you, Mia. You are such a sweetheart!

The only bad thing was the jerk, nicknamed "Tiny" by Moose, who P-29 and I argued with at Brown's. I'm glad you were there! He sure backed off when Moose, John and Cotty came flying out! Nobody messes with our boats!
