Ooh... that actually looks nice.

I think we may have to take this Therapy pool party thing for a Beehive test drive.

that could possibly work. i'm curious to see who they will have djing. if it's dj "nobody"? probably not gonna get great attendance. if they're smart, they'll invest and bring in big out of town dj's that would appeal to fresno or any other valley club goers.

just my 2 cents

This one of those things where tons of people are drinking and as the night gets later, less and less of them are getting out of the pool to go to the bathroom?

Oh, it only freakin' figures. I move out of Lemoore after 24 years and they do something worth spending a Friday night there.

I hoenstly cannot say that I'd go back just for this pool party thing, but it sounds like an awesome idea and if I still had my circle of pals there like I did a few years ago, we'd probably hit it up like crazy.

And if summer weren't coming to an end, I'm sure my friends here in lovely little Fresno would be down for a visit as well.

At least we'd have a place to stay. :D *calls mom*

(BTW, I never knew they had a pool! That thing is awesome.. but I'm going to Vegas tomorrow and Vegas > Lemoore.)

ya know, when the 'best of fresno' thing hit in the middle of the heat,....i was wondering:
wouldn't a big ol' pool party rocknrollband fest be cool?

----like at AIRWAYS.

stay cool, splash, and listen.

yeah, the city-owned pool might make it red-tape-ey.

But, if you've been to airways, you might be able to picture a retro-cool thing being set up there.

...sorry,
too much the visual artist raised by marketing and design folks...

I was trying to listen to the rest of the explaination of what this thing is about...
-but based upon the promo-poster?

-all I'm getting is:

'Therapy is a red bikini'd woman's crotch:
--it happens on sunday from 11a to 4p
--is at someplace called the 'tacky,' or 'touchy,' or 'tachi' palace
--and costs Twenty Bucks...'

(ahuh...)

I have no clue as to what the heck this thing is about...

(at least it's not quite as sleazy as the nightclub that was advertising a contest where the winner got free breast work done... though it's close...)

I guess i'm just old.
i cant imagine wanting to do something like this in Lemoore, Fresno, Clovis, Huron who cares. Its seems juvenile. I picture a ton of silicone enhanced girls and gotti-style boys all dancing to some techno-trance music acting stupid, peeing in the pool, clawing at each other with those horribly trashy fake french tipped nails, drinkin gobs of hypnotiq and grey goose. which of course was funded by their weekly pay check from Forever 21.

and I bet those people in the poster won't even BE at the event!(laughs)

----I'm still picturing Dick Dale playing at Airways Swimming Pool. *That*'d be fun.

hey, blake ... maybe they can have a "dark shadows" marathon looping on a jumbotron

wow I can't believe all the negative commentts. Even though it is in Lemoore and yes Fresno does have a negative vibe from people. Come on, at least someone or someplace is adding a little spice to the variety of things to do in the Valley. And yes it is 45min to an hour away depending if you make a stop, but there are so many demographic areas outside of Fresno that this event will attrack. And who cares if DJ nobody is booked to spin at this weekly event...it sometimes all falls on how he lays down the tracks and gets the pool party people movin and into the swing of things. Yes I agree, the Casino with its huge budget should be able to pool off huge DJ names and bring them. IN. People go out to Lemoore every night to blow 100's of dollars at the Casino. Driving out there and spending $20 to get in is not that much different on how you spend your money. Rehab is not the only place doing this. Lots of Hotels in big metro cities are doing the same thing rehab is doing and doing it just as big....ie Ditch Fridays@Palms, Standard in Los Angeles many more.

IMO: Nobody is going to drive to Lemoore for this at $5 a gallon.
It's just as hot there, and it smells like poo.

to A.M.~

"people go out to Lemoore every night to drop 100's of dollars at the casino"

true but not the type of people who are interested in a half nekkid pool party.
I seriously doubt that someones gramma who takes the bus from Manchester mall to Lemoore would be interested in drinking cosmos and floating around in an STD infested pool.
and yes, lots of Hotels are doing this but in the Valley, for this to succeed, you must aim for River Park.
Hell, if they even held it at Woodward park the "night at the roxbury" crowd will show up and float around in the man made lake if everyone else was doing it.

Man i love the beehive, but it seems like its being taken over by alotta FRESNO conservatives. Come On, first it was the MMA bout they were complaining about, now its a pool party. Geez, wake up and smell the coffee fellow beehivers. This is one of the best ideas i seen in awhile. I will defently be in attendance. It just cracks me up at all the negative responses especially from MS JOEY. Ha Ha. "BIG UP TO ALL THE HATERS" On a Side Note: Hey H-Mac i would like to buy you a pina colada if you attend.

Wet Towel is a conservative nerd. Put down the controller on your xbox 360 or quit playing your computer games and get a life. Im sorry its not a theater play or poetry. Why dont you step into the life of normal people and have alittle fun. I apologize if you have a self-image problem

'...I seriously doubt that someones gramma who takes the bus from Manchester mall to Lemoore would be interested in drinking cosmos and floating around in an STD infested pool...'(Joey)

Dear Tacky Palace:

Though Joey's words are quite true, and you may want to reach your target audience?
please,
for the love of god,
do NOT UPDATE the poster with a red bikini clad crotch-shot of somebody's GRANDMOTHER on here...

Thank-You

That is all.

hahahahahaaaa

wait....

hahahahahaaaahahaaaaa.

ok, i'm done now.

'...Why dont you step into the life of normal people and have alittle fun...' (Bobby)

Dear Tacky Palace:

Though I want everyone to have fun, (even Bobby,)

Please (again) do NOT refine your efforts, and further go after your target audience by putting a crotch shot of Bobby in a red bananna hammock on here.

Thank-You

THAT is all

i'm just mad because i don't look as good as those dudes and can't pull the type of women shown on the flyer. i'm going to go Joker on this event and blow it up!!!!

"it's not about money, it's about sending a message" haha, love that line.

OOOh, I love a good controversy.
I think i've been called a hater and a *gasp* conservative!?
I didnt realize that so many folks would be so offended and besides, i wasnt hating on the event, just the location.
I am all for an STD infested pool filled with gotti-style boys and plastic girls right here in good old Fresno. Put a little money in our pocket, fellas!
I mean, this IS Fresno Beehive, not Lemoore Beehive.

actually i take that last comment back.
i am hating on this type of event but if its gonna happen Fresno should've come up with idea first. We have Roe, Bliss, M and many other image conscious venues, why not add another one to north Fresno.
I mean, hell, if a hoochie can lace up some skates and spin in circles while knocking other hoochies over, why not let em all float around in skanky water with the cocktail of the moment in french-tipped hands.

Dear Tacky Palace:

Cancel all previous messages,
(keep yer trojan floating kiddie pool...)

However, if you can arrange a tasteful pin-up of Ms. Joey? (perhaps draped across the fender of a '49 Merc with an umbrella drink in her hand?)

I'd be a happy camper.

Sincerely,

your pal...

I may not look like the people on the flier, but I was down to put on my bikini and join the party. Y'all are making me reconsider, though, since I'm not a hoochie, I don't have an STD and I live closer to Woodward Park than Lemoore.

Thanks for putting me back in my place, everyone!

Dang, this post got interesting.

Carry on ...

(Wet Towel at this time, defers commenting on the lovely ms. Mac in her bikini to Mr. Mintz, as a delayed birthday present or something....)

-Floor's yours Steph-

I think they should update the poster and have Wet Towel's crotch in a red bikini!
Work it, Eric!

Thanks for the pass, WetTowel.

HMac in a bikini is like walking into a friend's house and they turn to you and say 'hey, would you like a grilled cheese sandwich? I just made one...' and you're like "YES! Ohmygawsh, YES! That's perfect!"

or something like that....

Of course if they play that ghetto crunk hyphy style hiphop, this event will get real ghetto right away. They need to stick with up tempo hiphop/RB/top40 and the finest house music to keep the divesity of people attending.

...well, this has been exciting...

(steph- I'm not familiar with that 'grilled cheese' wooing technique, but I bow to your musketeer ways...
(Being ever the fetching lass that Ms. Mac is, I'm sure she's garnered quite the looks and praise, but I think yours has landed a unique and special place in history.)

Ah Suzanne...

Alas
there was a day, many moons ago (no pun intended,) where your's truly could wear a speedo and embarass the family with pride and prowess, (lifeguard/performance artists are not prudish people when it comes to the mortal coil...)
(My step Dad is like, freakin' eighty, wears a speedo at the beach, on him it looks great,
--but he's Czech, --and they don't age like the rest of us...)

me?
German.

It'll be a few more miles around town on the schwinn before even considering such attire.
...but, when said day arrives?

prolly wind up on UTube anyway,
-so don't sweat the notice...
::sigh::
nice to be thought of however, I'll throw on Ohio Players in your honor...

we'll always have Paris...
er,
Hearndon...

I WAS keeping my comments to myself...then Mike Oz brought it to my attention again. I think it's a cool idea, but due to its location, will probably end up being lame. They should try something like that up at the new pool complex opening at Chukchansi. Might do better with out that South Valley stigma...

The level of success depends strictly on the right type of people attending. If the wrong type of people attend, it will truly tarnish the event for anybody that is worthwhile. Hopefully the wrong types of people stay away so that it can succeed.
