Party Ends

   Well, I'm in the office this Monday morning practically alone because everyone I know partied just a little too hard yesterday at our Summer Extrav-o-Ganza 3 boat party on Lake Travis. The Ark was in full swing yesterday afternoon as we loaded up a bunch of youngsters, a bunch of beer, hot dogs and burgers, and a bunch of post-ironic sunglasses and set sail for sunny swimming.

   The day started out nicely enough but for an angry looking body of water as we loaded on board; but soon after embarking we were drenched in a torrential downpour as everyone huddled together on the lower deck trying to keep dry, despite being in bathing suits. This didn't, by any means, slow down the drinking. Soon enough the diluge ended and we were waying anchor and grilling up waaay too much food. Much happy summer fun-time stupidity ensued.

   I have to say, I have been to few summer bashes with better music as Bird Peterson and Ceepluss Bad Knives tore it up while the group drifted on their neon noodles to everything from Pavement to Midnight Vultures Beck. It was like swimming to my own personal playlist with a few curve balls throw in to mix it up a little. To top that off was, of course, the indellible White Denim doing their soultastic pump-up jamz to end the perfectly temperate day. Their set concluded well after we began the long journey back to the docks as the whole boat turned into a half-concious dance party. No one was left behind or lost that we know of yet, and a good time was had by all, score two points for Austin. I can't wait for SE4!

*A big thanks to everyone involved in the success of yesterday's festivities: GPV, Austinist, Transmission, Cacophony, Annie Ray, and anyone else who helped us put it together and take it apart!*

We'll update y'all on the inevitable photos and other coverage that will be coming along later this week.
