2014 Theme Song:
McCarty Party 33 was another perfect combination of the sublime (beer, golf, bunnies serving beer, body painting, music, beer) and the ridiculous (Dale attempting to re-do the entire audio visual set-up the day before the party… for the third straight year). As always, some new things were added. Intoxication Stations with smiling volunteers greeted our guests upon arrival, providing alcohol and explaining camp rules and requirements. True, most of our volunteers (perhaps because of the bright pink camp shirts we made them wear) showed up late. Also true, very few of our guests paid any attention to the camp orientation information provided (although there were no objections to the alcohol that was handed to them!). And naturally, fewer still even remembered that we had “Intoxication Stations” by the next day.
But if remembering a McCarty Party is something you’d like to give a try… they say that of all the senses, the sense of smell is most likely to trigger memories. So, has anyone else noticed how a successful summertime party always kind of smells like warm beer and sunscreen? Just saying… if you can’t remember last year’s McCarty Party, you could always try slapping on some SPF 30 and pouring yourself a warm one.
Another thing that must be mentioned… we couldn’t help but notice that there were entirely too many people hanging out in Dale’s pub after midnight that were still fully clothed. Seriously people, we call it the “Underwear Undergound” (after midnight) for a reason. That reason being, if you want to check out the half-naked people in the pub after midnight… you need to be one of them. Don’t make us start putting bouncers at the pub entrances!
Lastly, McCarty Party 33 saw no one participating in the lip-sync contest (again). Simply not acceptable. Pick a song now, practice it alone or with friends, and show the party virgins how it’s done. Remember, there are T-shirts to be won for this. And on one final note, rumor has it that “Stupid Beer Tricks” will being returning for the 2015 party… again, with T-shirts for the winner(s). We know you. This is not a contest beyond your reach!
