Yeah, I'm thinking June 25/26 as a tentative possibility, or maybe mid July otherwise.

I've been reading up a bit on the laws - even fires of any kind are prohibitied now, after several islands were apparantly burned completely. This must have been recently changed, or they simply didn't/don't bother to enforce it, or we just got lucky.

They also crack down hard on beach camping (though specifically permit sleeping on beached boats), but I don't see this as being much of a problem, if we just arrive in the evening and leave in the morning. Still, it kind of eliminates the possibility of a 2-3 day long non stop party (or my plan to line the beach with Tiki torches ).

I'll talk to some people I know who live in houseboats/visit the lake frequently, they probably know the name of the game better than anyone. If all else fails we could just get a group of us out there during the day time, a grill, some decks and speakers, and have a beach day.

i might be able to bring my boat up. Ill definitly bring my records and im sure if the music is loud enough, its definitly gonna scare all the rednecks away.

that is definitely one of the best ideas i've heard in a while. lake lanier rules, drinking rules, trance rules, and ATL TA's rule so logically something that combines all of that should rule!

If details come at a later date definitely count me in.

I know a gal who wakeboards all the time in lake lanier and has had some shindigs on those exact islands..

she told me that whoever is in charge of them doesn't care whats up unless we cut down trees or fuck with the environment...

look into it more, but i really think this is possible.

let's make it happen, guys!

Really. What I've been reading (as far as laws go) as that there has been a general problem with fires and rowdiness on the islands (thats what I read in the link I posted a few replies up). Though I would expect that from the officials anyways . Seriously though, I HAVE had some pretty decent shindigs out there, with plenty of boats, bonfires and fireworks and haven't been bothered, but the last time that happened was July 4th of 2002, since our houseboat has been beached since last year for repair.

So, I'd like to talk to her if it's not too terribly inconvienent (if she just has AIM or email or something). If she doesn't, can you just ask her for me:

a) what are the odds of pulling off an overnight party (without being busted) complete with loud music, tiki torches/bonfires and such, alcohol, and, say 50-125 people, and

b) what are the odds of doing it for, say, 2-3 days, in a nonstop party?

Also ask her if she can/knows anyone who can help us with the boat need. Thats the biggest necessity right now, and currently I stand at 1 small ski boat, and thats if I can convince my folks to let me steal it for the weekend

Btw I'm changing the tentative date to June 18/19/20, since the next weekend is a skate comp which I cant miss and the weekend after that is July 4th, for which I'm not getting the most positive of feedback (tho the fireworks would rock). If we can pull it off early in the summer we could do another later on.

Btw is anyone going to gripe if I'm tilting the music policy towards tribal/house/prog trance (the good kind, like sander k/pete tong @ ultra EM kind) to go in with the whole outdoors beach theme? Some good injections of straight trance or other variety are fine with me, but nothing beats tribal/house for the outdoors, especially beaches . You'll at least have to put up with a rocking, funky set from me, since it is my own party after all
