Endless Summer 08


Its barely Spring time and all I can think about is boozing on the beach this Summer. Numerous fellow-boozers have already purched tix to get trashed for weeks at a time. I have no serious plans other than drink at the pool/beach. With 3.5 weeks until the last final, the temperature is really starting to heat up and the concentration levels are going straight out the window.

There are still multiple things that need to be figured out before trash-fest can proceed. Will San Diego rid itself of the alcohol ban at Pacific Beach? I can only hope so. Although I have only lived in the city for a little while, the general consensus seems to be that lokes get out of hand all too often. In addition, many have voiced their opposition to drinking on the beach. Perhaps there could be some general meeting of the minds? The problems seem to always revolve around the holidays, i.e. July 4th and Labor Day weekend. Why not ban alcohol for those weekends alone?

Whatever ends up happening, I do not anticipate much of a problem. I have already been told that the restrictions will not be enforced on gatorade bottles and the like. Furthermore, there are tons of bars on the beach and within walking distance of the beach. Solution: get trashed at the bar and bring a cooler full of gatorade and sandwiches onto the sand. Yeah, it will be a shame there will no longer be buried kegs and frisbee toss at beer cans on tiki torches, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

If, however, the crackdown is more serious then I've been told, I have something brewing. A few weeks back, residents in this building had a kegger at the pool! What a great idea! Even better, there is an outlet at the pool and I have a kegerator on wheels! If any of my "colleagues" are interested, the first pool party experiment will likely happen the weekend of April 25th.

Whatever the case, this is just about my last summer of freedom. Its likely the 9-5 will commence Summer '09, so if you plan on visiting, plan on making the news...
