Boarding, Bands and Bikinis – Come with me to Wakestock!

Come on – you deserve at least one (if not 12) ridiculous party weekend(s) this summer. It’s SUMMERTIME, you know?

My first Wakestock adventure was in 2008.  It was on the island and, thanks to some tropical style rain/sun/rain/sun weather, it was a hot muddy mess.  A hot muddy mess filled with hot muddy crowds of beer-drinking fun havers, bikini contests and free swag at every turn (I lived off of energy drinks, chocolate milk and gum that weekend. Did I mention that METRIC and RZA and DRAGONETTE performed along with like, 19 other sick bands – ’cause that’s definitely blogworthy.

The little great-lakes community I lived in before moving to the big city pretty much lives for the summertime. It’s no more than a 30 minute drive in almost any direction before you hit a big blue body of water, and lohdy knows do we take advantage of that!

(hahaha @  concentration face)

I was hanging around with a lot of wakeboarder kids during the summer of 2008, and not wanting to be mistaken for some token blonde boat candy I jumped at the chance to support my homies who were competing that year.

I wish I could say I stood there the whole time cheering them on as they tore it up against some of the best wake athletes in the world like a good friend (yeah, I said THE WORLD – this event is hugetime, dig?), but I got a wee bit distracted by all of the awesome going on around the island.

As much as I love to watch wakeboarding (and I do),  skateboarding will win me over every time.  Not to brag but I could probably kick Tony Hawk’s ass playing Pro Skater on my N64 before I was old enough to date – not that anybody would have dated my nerdy eh-ess-ess at the time…

ANYWAYS…

Wakestock =|= wakeboarding. Like, there’s a lot of wakeboarding (+ cute shirtless wakeboarder boys) going on, but there are so many other fabulous things going on during said superfest : concerts, parties, demonstrations, free shite, good peeps… all the things I was talking about before. “Boarding, Bands and Bikinis“, if you will.

Speaking of bands, PUBLIC ENEMY is going to be headlining this year. Are you effing kidding me? When I read that I actually said “OH MY GOD!” out loud. The chick in the stall next to me was probably like “wtf?” but I didn’t care. Whoever booked that, madddd kudos. Chuck D is someone I’ve looked up to for a long time.

I’m also pretty psyched for Alexisonfire (they’re dope live) and Hollerado – ’cause well… just watch this video:

Sooo to get to the point of this post, I’ll be hitting up Wakestock 2010 along with the lovely Miss Casie Stewart,Raymi the Minx, and Carly Anne as a Wakestock Party Girl!

We’ll be around doing our bloggity/party/bloggityparty thing and as one of my bffs  YOU get to come with us on the cheap ( if you read my blog,  I totally consider you one of my BFFs. Life’s more fun that way.)

Hurr’s the deal – get your discounted Wakestock tix by entering the promo code (PARTYGIRL) in the “Social Ticket Offer” part of the order form and BAM – 3 days of awesome for only fiddy-fie bones. Well worth the scrilla, imho… just think of how pimp your facebook album will be – how jealous those mean betches from highschool will be when they see you surrounded by sun-kissed hotties crowd surfing while Flava Flav does hilarious things on stage…

Just DO IT. I’ll even buy a beer if you tweet me your co-ordinates in Collingwood.

<3 Always,
