DISCLAIMER: No college students were permanently
harmed in the making of these photos. The names remain the same to incriminate
the guilty and all events that transpired during the following weekends never really happened.
And now... A word from our sponsor: Smirnoff Ice. When it's cold in the pool, you'd better get your Ice in the hot tub. Nothing gets more girls in the tub than having a nice Ice. With the Cover-My-Ass out of the way, I had a blast taking some much needed vacation out to the beach. Two consecutive weekends, two consecutive parties. The theme for the first weekend was "Make Michelle paranoid by threatening to throw her in the pool" and the second was "Did Nazir ever really get the flashing he wanted?" The first weekend was just a warm-up. Michelle and Kelly came down from George Mason with about 7 or 8 friends. I brought a small group with me from Raleigh and we just chilled and utilized the hot tub as much as possible.

Here are some shots of the place. Jordan took these to take back home with
him so that next time, these would help drag more people out to the place. I think he'll need more help
than that, but if a free weekend at the beach can't convince these poor college friends to come out, then
I don't know what else to say...

Now to the weekend! As I said, the first was mainly a group from George
Mason University: Michelle, Kelly, Stephanie, Mike, Brendan and Matt. Jon and Kevin joined from Christopher Newport
University near Richmond, VA. There was even another Kelly from VCU! (She just HAD to be different from
everyone else.) I brought a few from Raleigh: Jon, Becky, Josh, Jeremy and Chris. Full use
of the house! (Poor house!)
Music started playing... people started having fun... and then the cops arrived. Something about the people on the mainland complaining about all the noise. They ask Kelly to stop yelling so loud and the party keeps going... and going... and going... Around dawn, the first day of the party ended. Then breakfast began. The afternoon was spent with everyone doing their own thing... Some went for walks, some hit the lighthouse, some hit the hottub, but most of us just hit the beach. Some Aerobies were thrown around and several lost their lives that fateful day. Giving up on that, a twisted game of beachball happened, using the leftovers of a 2" by 4" for a bat. Some people got more sandy than others. Stephanie even managed to slide into first base a few times.

The next weekend was just as fun. Everyone involved came in from Raleigh. I left on
Tuesday night and spent several days in solitude at Tuna Gorda. This gave me time to fix-up the place and repair
the damage done the previous weekend. I took plenty of things to do, but only completed a few of them. Lots of
distractions and housework to do. Very relaxing time though.
On Friday, Lesie, Jordan and Nazir arrived. There's a little dispute about who got who lost, but we all know that women are always right and Jordan's to fault for this one. (Women need that confidence boost, otherwise they might feel inadequate or something.) With the stress of the city behind, the unwinding began. I made victims of them with an on-the-spot recipe for Chicken Parmesean and they lived! :) After dinner, the hot tub was ready to be abused and everyone was ready to abuse it. Leslie was in prime picture taking mode, so all paid the picture fee and took the shots. The pool was even tested, but was found to be too cold. Hard to keep an uncovered pool heated during the off-season. But when you're in there, you might as well try to stack everyone you can. We were hoping to get 4 people, but Jordan couldn't brave the cold air long enough to try. Lots of pictures here, some taken with my camera, some with Jordan's digital camera. I'm gonna post most of them... They all turned out pretty funny.

After some relaxing and maybe just a little drinking, the night ended with a movie. The
next group to arrive was expected around 6 AM so I waited up for their arrival. (Leslie tried to turn in fairly early,
but after a bad bedsheet episode, she gave in and joined us for the movie.)

6 AM is just friggin' early. Alan's group rolled in and crashed. Everyone passed out until
the afternoon and then the party started again. A slow start with some breakfast and puzzles and then some afternoon
walks around the surf.
Later in the afternoon, the pool and hot tub were used again. Quite a few more people to
fit in it this time:

After some food and time in the hottub, the party turned into random acts of drinking.
The night just got more interesting after that, fortunately most of it did not end up on film. Naz began a quest that
he doesn't remember the outcome of... I think he was completey covered in sand at some point.
The relatively less drunk people stayed inside... Between that night and the morning after, everyone ended up on film at some point or another.
