It’s all fun and games until someone gets butthurt. Safe to say that the past week and a half has been quite eventful, so here’s my personal fckshtup spring break guide. While it may all look like a non-stop party, there was plenty of work being done behind the scenes. In essence, this was my office for an entire week. Giddy up…

1. Don’t leave home without Doug.
Sounds easy enough, but these bad boys who once played collegiate football are hard to find gems. I’ve known Doug since the third grade, consider him one of my best friends, doesn’t usually make the right decisions, but he instantly becomes the life of the party in 8.2 seconds, almost as fast as his 40 yard sprint. With crazy spring break broskies lurking around town, or stragglin’ ghetto hoes looking to party, this 6’5″ monster truck handles the dirty work.

2. Spring Break Kicks
One can never have enough sneakers, so I hit the interwebs and found my favorite pair of personally-dubbed spring break kicks and sent them my way via 2 day air, just in time for the welcome party celebrations at the island.

3. Find a bed
We were lucky enough that we had several friends with beach houses during our week long stay. Robert, my ticket agent, and his friend Albert snatched up a delicious two story gem where they invited us to stay. I grabbed a small twin-sized bed downstairs and made myself a little comfortable for a few nights. Otherwise I simply slept wherever I found space.

No magic...

4. Extra Curricular Activities
My favorites included flying kites, riding the jetskis, my longboard, and our midnight boat ride to Mooncussers. I bought a few kites for us, which Abe completely stunk at flying. Mine went up 45,000 feet in the air, only to make a crash landing on an electric pole, which the instructions clearly read to stay away from. The jetskis were dope, I’m planning to go back this weekend just to do it again. Katie Vegas rode with me and she faceplanted on the water twice…I really wish we had pictures. The best/worst part was being on the phone half the time trying to work out the Shwayze show at SPI, while on the jetski, but more on that later.

5. Throw a Festival
In the midst of all the madness that was our spring break events, which included parties with DJ Skeet Skeet and LMFAO, throw a mega scaled festival. Went to bed at 5 am, woke up at 6 to pick up the dudes in LMFAO to start our drive back to Mission. The Never Say Never festival was amazing, and is sure to have its own blog later. We all hustled and did something that we have never done before, and we’re all proud to say that we did it, zero sponsorships and zero investors. In an interview with The Monitor, I said I only had $80 in my account the day of the festival, and that was no lie. We put everything into this, and we’re extremely happy.

6. Hand out business cards
I’ve got to give credit to whoever invented business cards. I’ve always had some, but don’t ever really use them, and boy am I an idiot. It’s so easy. All week I’d simply give out my card to spring breakers to help promote our parties, and wow did it work! The texts wouldn’t stop. Which brings me to my next point, don’t forget your chargers. I literally lived in cars for two days just charging my phone.

I’ll add more to the guide later, once I can steal some of the unseen Abe‘s pictures still hidden in his laptop.
