What happents in Boji...

This weekend was labor day weekend, which meant no school on Monday. My roommates and a group of our friends decided to go to my best friend's family cabin in Okoboji. It is a huge cabin with 11 bed rooms about a block from the lake. There was a group of about 15 of us, which included 4 of the hottest girls I have ever known personally.

We left friday evening and ran into some stupid detours that ended up sidetracking us and turning a 1.5 hour drive into a 2.5 hour drive. Once we got settled in, we started drinkin and playing card games. This lasted well into the night. At midnight we celebrated one of the girls' 20th birthday with a round of birthday shots and some singing.

The next morning, once everyone was awake, we packed up a cooler and took off for the beach. It was a beautiful day- 75 degrees and sunny. There was a floating dock about 40 yards out from shore, so the group swam the cooler out there and hung out on the dock, tossing the football and sipping some drinks. There were a bunch of families there to celebrate the beautiful day, and I imagine they were quite amused at the site of 15 drunk college kids jumping off a floating dock trying to catch footballs and beer cans.

By 3:00, we were completely out of beer (about 2.5 cases) so my buddy went into town to get 2 more cases. He returned with a plethora of grill food. Brats, Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Chips, and a bunch of other stuff. We all swam into shore and grilled, then ate.

We returned to the cabin in the early evening. Everyone was beat after being out in the sun all day. Some of us crashed and some of us watched college football. Around 8, everyone got a 2nd wind. We decided to go into town for a carnival and free concert. The carnival setting was very cool. It was a really small carnival, but still very fun. The setting reminded me of a california type boardwalk.

After the fair, we got some pizza and bought 3 more cases. We returned to the cabin and started drinkin again. We played this game called "Landmines." To play, players take turns spinning a quarter. While the quarter is spinning, the player has to take a drink of beer and pick the quarter up with 2 fingers before it stops spinning. If they fail to do this, they have to drink and start over. If someone finishes their beer, they can place the empty can anywhere on the table (including right on top of the spinning quarter). If someone does this while you are spinning, you have to finish your beer.

The game was so wild with so many people and before we knew it, the table was almost completely covered with empty beer cans.

I cannot say what happen next as I have been sworn to secrecy, but I will tell you that the rest of the night was a blast.

I woke up the next morning hugging a garbage can that reminded me of how out of control i had gotten the night before.

We decided to leave that morning and I returned in time to play the 200k. I ended up placing 12th for $2100. Unfortunately I ran into AA blind vs blind trying to steal with K7 and suffered a final table bubble. Later that night, I placed 2nd in the 40k for $6500. I really played well and ran well, which makes poker easy.
