247-leaving for the mississippi

day 1 of peter's bachelor party

i had never been on the mississippi river in my life and now i will be on it for the second time in less than a month.

about ten of us got together and chipped in to get a boat to cruise up and down the river. we left thursday night to make sure to get a good start on the long weekend. i cruised the 5+hour trip with warth and conlu and it immediately felt like the spring break trip of 2000...all we needed was some spearhead playing. luckily, we weren't doing what we did on that trip we got pulled over for speeding and a broken headlight. luckily we weren't really speeding and the cop just let us go (he obviously was just bored on his shift).

i didn't know what to expect when we got there, but this boat was no joke. it was bigger than most people's three flat apartments with 6 sleeping areas, a full kitchen and two bathrooms - not to mention the hot tub, bar and two gas grills!

we got in late and the first night was kegs and poker (what else?!?). tomorrow we get up and learn how to control this beast.
