Oh yes.

Yeah...the pool party was NUTS. Aside from shows, that was probably the high point of the weekend for utter debauchery.

The only thing I like better than debauchery is utter debauchery.

This year get ready for udder debauchery as we lead a herd of cows up to the top floor of the Holiday Inn!

my apartment is across the street from the UF Cow school or whatever it's called. all I know is there are tons of cows, my only request is that I get to ride one and film the whole thing!

no they're not.

He's right. They're not. I lived there long enough to know better.

i don't know if that's supposed to be sracastic...but i live here and there is firework stands on every corner.

for a loooong time, you couldn't buy bottlerockets or roman candles though, has that changed in the past few years? I think the last time I had bottlerockets they came from out of state.

Fireworks are legal to have, buy, and sell. It is illegal to set off any firework that flies into the air and/or explodes. Fountains, smoke bombs, and those black snake things all day long.

to summarize this thread
anyone coming driving down North for The Fest needs to bring some heavy duty fireworks for us

Hey Hawkgirl, Imagine seeing you on yet another forum...heh

You're smart. Great to mention that Festers should try meeting and socializing with
Gvillians more. That's what the Fest needs to emphasize more. Someone local should start a couch surfing forum here.

Oh, and if I actually lived in Gville I'd take in as many festers as I could.

Too many people want to just trash everything during the Fest. What they don't realize is that THIS is what makes a thing like the Fest be on thin ice with "The City". And what make venues no longer want to take on the Fest. Before you know it, no Fest.

PS - They have tall-boy coozies, I saw them in Colorado. Try eBay.



Every year the Holiday Inn is literally taken over by the Fest. But last year was INSANE. Day and night, it was there.

Uh yeah, and if you actually NEED to sleep don't stay there. I made that mistake 2 years ago. The people next door were partying until 7am and the next morning the room was literally trashed, everything was broken. But at least I got to sleep in while they forgot about us because of it...heh

I honestly am absolutely amazed each year the Holiday Inn wants anything to do with the Fest and that someone hasn't seriously hurt themselves or died, I've heard some crazy stupid stories.

That's the same thing I read. But I definitely got a shit ton of fireworks from a giant tent in front of Albertson's one 4th.

When that kid with no shoes or stockings was getting arrested, i tried to get the cop to let me give him my socks, and the cop, after a bit of teasing on my part, actually said "Hey, we got airports all over this great nation where you can fuck off back to wherever you came from".

FUCK YEAH!!

A Vena Cava member recently said they are having some made for this year's Fest. F-yeah!

and hello beautiful

I'm giving the last fella and his friends first dibs on crashing at my house. Then I'm opening it up. I agree more people should get in the spirit of Fest!
