Now that WI and Marquette are out of it, I thought I could distract you with Chapter 2 of the Spring Break Chronicles!
In case you missed the memo...
- Neon colors are totally back in.
- Natty Light is the Spring Break drink of choice.
- If you’re a dude, put sunscreen on! An awkward burn all over you and peeling skin looks waaaayyyy worse than asking someone else to lather you up.
- Is it still considered flashing if you don’t have anything worth looking at?
- If you’re too intoxicated to realize that you are actually swimming across the sand, screaming that your brother is Michael Phelps, instead of in the water…you’ve gone too far.
- If you’re going to lie to some girl and say that you play for an NFL team… pick a girl that doesn’t know her stuff.
- Please, for the sake of mankind, DO NOT wear a leopard thong (aka banana hammock) on the beach.
- Jean shorts are sooooo 1995.
- If you parents actually DID buy you that rack for your high school graduation gift, you probably shouldn’t go around telling people that.
Alright, enough learning for 1 day. I’ll have more for you later!
Drive-bys, stabbings, and random acts of violence? Oh yes, last week was definitely the scariest week to be down in Panama City Beach, FL. I don’t know if I can officially refer to it as gang week down here but thats what it felt like! Have you ever seen a G-ride? It’s pretty much an old school boat of a car or an SUV that is totally tricked out, painted crazy colors, has huge spinner rims, hydraulics, serious lift kits, some have the doors that open up instead of out, and all are blaring rap music and cruising all day. Well there were tons of them that would have showdowns in the streets to see who was the loudest, most tricked out, etc.
So back to the shootings. There was apparently a drive-by outside of one of the biggest dance clubs down here that sent one girl to the hospital in critical condition, and another shooting just feet away at the next club on the same night! Are you kidding me?!?
Then, there was a Lil Wayne MTV concert that brought thousands upon thousands out to the beach. Well Lil Wayne is a pronounced gang member (I can’t remember if he’s a blood or a crip), so you can imagine that some fights were bound to break out in a mob of people that you could not see the end of from the stage. The concert was supposed to start at 1pm and it didn’t actually start until 4pm, which left the crowds aggravated, hot, thirsty, and angry…and that’s when the fights broke out. A few bottles of beer and a large liquor bottle were smashed and used as weapons, leaving 1 guy with a completely mangled face, girls full of cuts, and a real test on the security staff.
Now that you all think PCB is the worst place ever, I have to say that it was also an awesome week if you could stay out of harms way. Every day the beach was coated with some of the funnest people I’ve ever met, hoisting their school flags, constructing beer pong tables out of sand, and producing the best dance-offs you could ask for!
Night time wasn’t too shabby either. Thank goodness VIP status comes with the job, otherwise we would have been waiting in lines that were 200-300 deep! The other night myself and all my girls were drinking $4,000 bottles of champagne and were surrounded by video cameras that were taping for all of the TV stations in Europe. A little outrageous, but in exchange I got to not only bring 3 other girls onstage as I called out “all my people from WI” and played Jump Around… but we all got to meet Kendra from The Girls Next Door (playboy mansion show). If you don’t know her shame on you! She’s kind of a big deal…many leather bound books, her apartment probably smells of rich mahogany (or stripper poles, not sure). But she is so teeny and sweet! I may have thrown in that my Packers were way sweeter than her Chargers too, haha.
Tune in later this week for Chapter 3 as we go meet the Playmate of the Year, Yung Joc and DJ Unk (also rappers).
This horrible image will be burned in my brain forever!
Dance party on the beach!!!
There must have been 40 school flags along the beach, each with a crowd of people below it...
Go WISCO!!!!
Well hello there Superman! That's going to be quite the tanline later...
Partying VIP style waiting to meet Kendra!
The crowd gearing up for "Jump Around."
Don't worry, there are tons of pictures that I'll be putting up on my website when I get home...so stay tuned for more!
love,
your Gridiron Girl
