Tie Up Party

This past Saturday. Before I went to one of the worst concerts of the year. Thank you Bon Jovi for being so horrible and Miller brewing for screwing up so badly. I will get back to Bon Jovi at a later date. I went to the annual Tie Up Party on Lake Beulah. I went with Chris and Rebecca and Rebecca's three younger sisters. The Triplets (Angela, Vanessa and Trinity). And let me not forget Adam, Angela's fiance. Apparently this little party has been an annual event for years. And normally the group that organizes the party pulls the proper permits and everyone has a good time. Unfortunately this year they were not allowed to get the permits. It is just too bad that sometimes people want to ruin a good time. When we arrived in the morning, we were greeted by a police boat and patrol men on short. Soon more and more boats arrived, and the organizer of the tie up started up the generator for the equipment that took up the entire barge and made an announcement. Due to circumstances that were out of his control, they would not be able to put on the music as they had in past years. But that didn't mean that we couldn't have a good time, and that we were allowed to play any of stereos on our boats as loud as we wanted. Shortly after that announcement the cops left. And shortly after the cops left, this guy went back to his pontoon boat, pulled out this huge speaker and began to crank out the music just as he had every other year. A good time was had by all, or at least me, despite the fact that the triplets cheat at Marco Polo and my neck is killing me this morning from a little too much chicken fighting. Trinity you are a great partner. But I thought I would post some pictures of what was such a good time. The top picture is just one of the random participants of the tie up. The middle picture is of Rebecca and the triplets. And the bottom picture is Chris and Rebecca. On the left side of the picture you can see the barge with the DJ equipment that got shut down.
