That being said for your first announcement and RDP Guide to Desert Storm

STREET FAIR

1.Thursday Street Fair - RDP Will be at it's normal location which is the entire street next to Bad Dogs Bar & Grill / Fugs Bar. We will be bringing out the big "Boom Bandits" Stage again this year.

2.Matt Farris will be on Stage right at 6:30 and will play sets until the closing of the street fair! We will have music all day as well, but live bands start in the evening.

3.We would really like RDP to be well represented at the Street Fair, so please wear your RDP Gear!
RDP GROUP PHOTO FROM THE MAIN STAGE WILL HAPPEN AT 5:00 SHARP!!

4.Positive Trim will be inside the RDP Booth at the Street Fair!! Along with Kicker Audio!



FRIDAY POKER RUN - RAFT UP

1.This location was picked because the south facing beach should offer some protection from boat wakes. It is approximately 1 1/2 miles North of the Pump station.

2.Bring an Anchor, and BRING LARGE FENDERS!! If you show up with coke can diameter fenders don't be surprised if nobody wants to tie up with you. Poker Run starts at 10 am, I'm thinking we will leave the Thompson bay Buoy line at 9:00

FRIDAY NIGHT RDP "Meet and Greet"

First RDP Party Friday night is at RDP Headquarters (My house again this year)
2572 Mariner Ln / Lake Havsu City AZ
7:00'ISH until 12'ish (Then we hit the bars if we're still standing)

Obviously it's an RDP deal so all the booze will be handled. Working on having a professional BBQ team show up to cook for everyone as well, but not 100% on that yet.


SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER PARTY!

Location will be at Shugrues Banquet Room again this year! (Last year at this location before we go back underground again)

This party has grown beyond the capacity of the venue as evident by last year us having to close the doors several times. :( It has occurred to me that there are a lot of people that manage to get into this thing that are there more for the open bar, then they are for RDP or Desert Storm. So we are making some changes this year to the party to try and discourage some of that.

Wrist Bands for the After Party are available at the RDP Booth at the Street Fair!! If you are unable to attend the street fair this year for some reason it would behoove you to get ahold of me before hand and not at the door. The RDP Wristbands are free at the booth and will be good for Beer at the After Party. (We will have IPA's and all kinds of beers available, including light beers)

RDP is paying a considerable sum of money to Shugrues to "offset" a cash bar for those that like cocktails. So in short it will be half price drinks all night for whatever you order.

Sponsors of the AfterParty will have 10 wristbands each for a Full Open bar to give to their customers.

We have added Two additional bars to the After Party this year to try and cut down on the lines, and make sure people can get their drinks in a quick fashion.

As always I would recommend getting their EARLY!! If the place fills up, there isn't much I can do about it until next year when we change the venue to a larger location!

If you have an RDP shirt on, I'd suspect you won't have any "Beverage" problems. ;)

(I'm slightly insulted at the question honestly.. LOL)

Im sure it was rhetorical. :)

I REALLY wanted to go this year. I guess changing jobs and buying a house is a little more important.

I'll be jealous of you guys from out at Naci.

Last year I missed the street party due to work, not happening this year. Then missed just about everything else, weather sucked and said f it and went to parker for a friend's birthday.

This year I'm redoing my first desert Storm, so I plan on making it to half the activities:)

Well since I'm a FNG to RDP, I'll buy some gear at the street fair. Since I've been gone from the Havasu and Parker scence from 2004-2015. I just came back last year with one weekend in 2013, I've been doing the Lake Powell thing most of those years. I'll be in Parker a lot this summer and enjoying 2 of the boats at Parker & Havasu this summer. I look forward to meeting the RDP people, I'm sure we've crossed paths over the years when I was running the river and Havasu. I'm going to enjoy doing both again. I won't lie I'm still going to Lake Powell this summer it's an incredible place!

Well, pending my request for time off from my second job (aka the nights and weekends job) I will try to be there sometime early Friday, and probably not make the raft up. my boat will not be attending, and I'm still not sure where I will be parking my toybox, I am racing a jet ski race in Parker on Sunday. I am looking forward to the meet and greet Friday night. :thumbsup

If you get in a pinch let me know, I have a pretty big side yard you can park it in.

I got a stainless rub rail on my boat so you'd probably rather not. :D More importantly though I'm not taking my boat to the raft up. I'll probably be in Dan's Nordic, or Roberts Magic. :D

It's a consignment boat or I would! LOL

The more I look at that thing, the more I wonder where the hell I'd put it. It's like 45' on the trailer and 13' tall. I really like it, but I hate leaving shit outside.

Nice RD! and thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it! the only reason I don't have a reservation or place to park yet is because I don't know if I will be approved for time off. the company I work for is on the way out of the contract and are being crummy about approving time off. either way I will be out Friday morning and there is always Wal Mart lol! I only have a 21' toybox, so its easy to get into any place.
But again thank you kindly for the offer, and ill see how things go on Friday. :thumbsup
