Markus and Daisy ordered some Lionfish and I forget what Ninja and I ordered. The Booper/Jizzy crew headed out and decided to head up to Catcha, so we told them we would be following them shortly and with that we convinced IndyBob and Cindy, Katho, wpyogi and +1 and Daisy and Markus to join us. We called the van to pick us up (the same one that took us all down to Bentleys) and once again we told him we would need to make one quick stop at Xtabi lol. Once Katho got her permission slip signed and whatever wpyogi had to do, we were all back on our way to Ivan’s.
Once we arrived at Ivan’s, Booper/Jizzy crew had already got the party started which they are quite good at and so we decided we needed what every good party needs..... Flaming Bob Marleys! So Kevin did the honors and made a big old round of those nasty flaming things. I remember once they were all lined up on the bar and flaming he hands us a straw and says “Suck it fast before the straw melts” and I just looked around at everyone and no one was doing anything. I said “Are you really supposed to put the straw in there and drink it while it is still flaming” He said “yes” and no one was disputing it....of course no one else was doing it either so I figured, “What the hell” and I did exactly what he said.....shouts and screams and camera flashes were everywhere and then shortly after the burn traveled all the way down my throat and I swear I could feel it actually enter my stomach. Yep, that’s the kind of shot that gets the party going.
With that, Raul and I went back to our room to get our supplies for Pineapple Upside Down Cake shots, and we made a shot for everyone at the bar including the staff. Yum! Those things are good! Well they were really more like drinks than shots, but you get the idea
After all of the shots we decided we wanted to do a “test run” on our chinese lanterns so I grabbed the ones I brought (about 10) and we all headed to the cliff edge to see if we could get them lit and launched. Before we did that, a couple of us wrote our wishes on our lanterns with a marker. Once we were at the cliffs we struggled a little with determining how to light them and exactly how long they needed to be lit before attempting to launch them.....the first one was a crash and burn but eventually we all got the hang of it and managed to get them launched. It was really cool and we all enjoyed that.
Once all of our lanterns were launched several of the turtles thought it would be fun to do a night dive into the water....Barbara the manager at Catcha didn’t agree and she urged them all to get out of the water! Silly turtles
Ok so we have shut down Ivan’s, done several series of shots, launched chinese lanterns, gone for a night swim, what next? How about Eddies? Well of course, because that is where you go at the end of the night, isn’t it? For us it sure seems to be the trend, so we took a shift of several taxis and headed on over to our favorite neighborhood hangout. Eddie and Trevor were there to greet us as always. Dancing Ronnie was also there. This night was fun as all the other nights were and there is really not much more to say about that. Fun, drinking, laughing, story telling.......
Who knows what time it even was, it was late but several of the crew weren’t phased and they continued on to MiYard...Ninja and I however headed back to Catcha and called it a night.
Another amazing, fun, crazy day in the books and still two more to go.....tomorrow....the Boardie Bash!
Tonight we got the chance to spend some more time with a couple of other boardies:
IndyBob - What a guy..... I am pretty sure his face has a permanent smile painted on it because I never saw him not smiling....and why wouldn’t he? I am pretty sure anyone would smile constantly if married to Cindy. But really, Bob, you are such a wonderful, friendly, fun-filled guy and it was really fun partying with you and your amazing wife, you guys crack me up and I look forward to spending more time with you both in the future!
Lurker Cindy - Oh what can I say about Tizzy’s long lost mom. I still remember when I first met her she came over to us at the table at Seastar and said “Hi, I’m Cindy....I’m a LURKER (using air quotes)” and it just stuck, from then on she was Lurker Cindy. And I really do think she and Tizzy may have been separated at birth. And just like I never saw Bob not smiling....I never saw Cindy NOT dancing! She dances to her own beat (even when there isn’t one....she doesn’t need a beat, there is always a song in her head and always a reason to dance!) You just got to love her zest for life, her free spirit and her “accents” that she speaks....even though her Jamaican accent and her Puerto Rican accent sound exactly the same.....Just love you lady! I feel like if you were around these two, that every minute of every day would be a non stop party!
