A buddy of mine invited me down to Austin this weekend because he was dj'ing "some houseboat party" on Lake Travis on Sunday. The gf was out of town visiting her folks so I was like, less do dis. We got to the lake at 11am yesterday morning, and it turns out the houseboat party was 4-5 party barges filled with people(all in their 20s) heading out to some place called Devil's Cove to swim all day, listen to bands and drink themselves into oblivion. There was a main houseboat where the bands/djs were set up on the 2nd floor playing out over the lake.
I knew it was going to be a good day before we even left the dock. One of the barges right next to us was filled with beautiful girls wearing not a whole lot. The ones that weren't occupied mostly with not falling out of their bikinis were all wearing these shirts that said "Palazio" on it, and before too long they unveiled this giant banner on their barge that said "Palazio Gentleman's Club." I've never been so happy to see an advertisement before.
Most of my afternoon was spent floating aimlessly on a pair of noodles, bullshitting with people and trying to keep lake water from mingling with my beer. There were probably 300-400 people out in this cove. Most of them were people with boats who tied up with other boats and formed a semicircle around the barges. It was kinda like Waterworld except it didn't suck and there weren't any evil Smokers trying to steal our gas. The bands bored me, but my buddy is very talented and plays primarily old and new school hip hop so that more than made up for it. Also watching the strippers get on top of the water slides on the 2nd floor of the barges, flash everyone, then go shooting down into the water was hard to beat.
This all lasted for about 5 hours before we headed back to the dock and then ate cheeseburgers and rehydrated. Despite showering in sunblock, I still managed to get the holy hell burned out of me, which I don't really care about since I was so pale when the day started that people were trying to revive me before I even got into the lake. Then the three hour drive back home after a day at the lake was a whipping but wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
