For all you TA's in the ATL area, or anyone who wouldn't mind coming down, tell me what you think of this.
As you may know, just north of Atlanta is Lake Lanier. Its man made, so theres a lot of little islands all over the lake which just beg for a beach party. So my friend and I were tossing ideas around and we thought it would be bad ass to throw one this summer.
Its extremely tentative, and I'm not even sure of the legalities of it. But as long as there isn't a load of alcohol and no drugs, it could probably be done. I live on the lake its very popular to do overnight island parties, where lines of houseboats (sometimes 8-10 or more) all beach themselves on an island. I've never seen any as rowdy as your average rave (though I have seen such on a houseboat crusing around), but as far as I'm aware loud music and all night partying aren't illegial in the middle of the lake.
So we are wondering how many of you TA's around here would support the idea, or would come out if we did do it. If any of you have access to houseboats or know anyone who does and might be intrested, let me know. The current idea is to have everyone meet in one spot, then board a boat to the island of choice, party all night, and them camp out on said boats overnight, then leave in the morning (or afternoon, if anyone is up for a day on the lake). If we couldn't get large boats, im sure we could at least find people with smaller ones to ferry people there and back. I'm also thinking the 4th of July would be the best time to do it, since there is a spectacular fireworks show on the lake for the 4th, which would go along perfect with the party.
Remember this still a really tentative idea... but if your at all interested, or might be willing to help, or DJ, or whatever, please post back and let us know :D |

OMFG! If you do this, I'm there. Sounds like a real tight idea.
I could bring my boat up, its only a fish & ski though so it only holds 4 or 5 ppl, but it also gets around much faster than a house boat :D And of course I would love to spin. |

Well the current best bet is July 4th, since a lot of people will be partying and DNR, though out 3x in force, would probably be less likely to care. This also means we can enjoy the fireworks show. One problem this does bring up though is that random s might notice our party and show up, either getting the thing too large and attracting the cops, or bringing a lot of drugs/beer, causing the same. One way to solve this tho is to pick one of the islands with a long strip of beach, and rocks around the rest of it, then beach any boats parallel to the shore to keep idiots away. I'm thinking we should cap it off at like 75-100 people. Everyone could meet at a marina, then board boats and head off for the destined island.
The biggest problem would potentially being busted. I really dont know how tolerant DNR would be to something like this. Unlike raves in abandoned warehouses or in a field in the middle of nowhere, it would be difficult to hide it. As far as I know, though, theres no laws against gathering and partying on islands, chains of beached boats pretty much a daily occurance on this lake during the summer (though honestly I've never heard of someone throwing a rave, but there have been some rowdy parties before). Of course, thats part of raves, they're generally not legal and can get busted.
Anyways, its still tentative. If your at all interested, let me know.
Btw we also need potential volunteers for things like speakers, decks, generators, and especially boats. Oh, and DJ's too :D |

| i know that you live on the lake and everything but july 4th weekend doesn't sound that great just because of the massive amounts of rednecks that are on the lake that weekend...it's a great idea and i have always wanted to do something like that but not on that date =(. I know someone tried to do this a few years back but it flew through the cracks but that doesn't mean us ta's couldn't get something together =) |
