I have heard a rumor that MTV Spring Break 03, will be hosting parties along the Parker Strip March 28-30 and April 4-6. Does anybody know if this is true??

I hope not. They already ****ed havasu up. Let them stay up there.

I was planning on going April 4-6 but might reconsider if this rumor is fact. **** MTV.

If MTV shows up in Parker, we can expect to see VH1 there next year making a "Behind the Party" episode called..."The downfall of the Parker Strip" frown

MTV in Parker?
No, nyet, non, NFW.
Sundance is advertising a big bash, which I presume is being promoted by the same people who did that rave over in Havasu Landing a few years ago. (Remember that one? 6 deaths due to drugs and drunk drivers.)
The promoters used to be associated with MTV, which may be where the rumors came from.
They tried to do a similar rave on the Res last year, but were nixed by local Chamber of Commerce, and the fact that they wanted to do it on Labor Day weekend, when there weren't any hotel rooms available.
Either way, the Sundance bash is going to be populated with little punks in mohawks, green hair, driving Hondas with coffee cans on the exhaust, "X"ed out of their minds and tripping on glow sticks.
Not exactly "our" kind of crowd.

I have not heard of anything, until Alan's comments above...I am sure if the Sundance bash happens then the local enforcement will be out doing their jobs in a big way :) ...I think I will stay north on the river this weekend and just "walk" over to the Blue Bar after a day of boating.. :)

They had a televised Spring Break years ago and basically brought out the gangsta thug criminal element (the most visible anyhow, but not the only one) that has since stayed out there for the big weekends. They've had shootings and knife fights on the Sandbar and on and on. MTV is pretty much the reason the Sandbar is closed on the big weekends anymore. That is the brief version as I've seen and heard it.

You know, I'm always down for some of those uncensored pics. You could always email them to me, or post them over on hotboatpics.com. :D
I just hate Copper Canyon for that reason though. Someone stole keys??? Come on, how lame is that? The scenery is great, but being tied up and having everyone crawling across your boat and drunk idiots breaking stuff on thier way around is stupid. Good time to have a rental boat. :D :D :D

We were set up on the outside with the High dollar boats. :rolleyes:
I think it was one of those STEALTH chicks with the TWIN BOMBS (0)(0) that sneaks off with the keys. wink
All I know is I wouldn't have towed my boat back with the big block Whipple under the hatch. eek! eek!
Still downloading the pix.

I think just an mtv dj will be at the sundance on the 5th, dj scrible. check out the info at
www.ocparty.com (http://www.ocparty.com)
I have tatoos & body peircings, so does my wife. for those who have tatoos, you know you cant just stop at one. Its kind of like gambling you dont know when to stop. I did do it some what smart though, you can only see them when I have my shirt off, or if I am wearing a tank top.
By the way I am not a thug, punk rocker, tagger, what ever. I am just a family man who likes tasteful tatoos, party's, & boating. Did I forget to mention I also like women in bikini's? Why else would a married man take up boating??? Looking at the menu is ok with the wifey, just as long as I dont order.

RD, did I see a post somewhere that you were going to be in havasu, or parker this weekend?
I might get a wild hair up my *** and head out to havasu this weekend. Who can stay home when its in the mid 80's at the river??

I'm going to be in Parker this weekend.
All day Saturday I'm going to do my boater safety course 8-4, but after that I'm up for some beers / BBQ'n :)
RD If I do make it, I'll probably be 2 wasted to make the drive to parker after 4pm. What does your safety course consist of? I can sure use help on fooling the river patrol when I am drinking. LOL :D On the real thats probably something everyone should attend.

You get a discount on your insurance for attending one, although I'd probably get my insurance raised if they knew the reason I was going.. LOL
RD did you get an oui? my friend got one of those and had to attend the class. it was for memorial a few years ago. ever since then he wont operate anything. lucky guy! I want to just sit back and drink too!!!

HUFFPOWER:
maybe, we as boaters who have been going to parker/havasu long before it was trendy could start a thread saying how shitty havasu/parker is, those in the know would know this is'nt true , then we could start sending the wannabes to say, CASTAIC,PYRAMID,yea then they could have the mtv dirtbags go there or magic mtn, anywhere but havasu/parker,does anyone remember when havasu was really cool due to the fact it was so far away from everything,man those were goog days,ski from sunup till sundown, now you hope
you don't get killed !! the ol days rule !! long live the original "river rat".. sounds like a plan!! although I cant consider myself an og river rat. But I think I meet all the requirements of one, I dont steal, lie, cheat, or cause trouble. What I do is, drink, gamble, & have unprotected sex. :D Where is that river rat application?

Well that's what the ticket was for but I didn't get convicted of an OUI. (Plea Bargain'd) Part of my deal is though I have to do some courses (alcohol and boater safety).
RD we live and we learn. some how my friend didnt get convicted either. he spent the night in the holding cell, & had to go back to spend another night somewhere else. my friends only complaint was that the holding cell was feezing, all he had was shorts & flip flops and they wouldnt give him a blanket. now thats torture!
If you can please fill us in on any new laws & safety tips.

I've lived here over 33 years. That was when it was when the whole river was considered hickville. And it was cool. I wish we could have it back the way it was.
I've always been against protesting but I would to keep MTV out this time. burningm

Your absolutely right HH! I'm just sickened at the thought that someone would try (actually the same people MTV) would try to do to Parker...I hear ya...if they only knew that that the snowbirds are the hippest people in town...I think they would have reconsidered.
Ole RD is a close second to the snowbirds...
RiverDave:
Everyone Else,...Sun Dance will be going off, but no MTV...That's right, folks...Friday night bingo...really goin' off. After that, if the locals don't have any cows to tip, they get liquored up and drive boats!
Unless of course it's "Square Dance Night" at Roadrunner, "Seniors Night" at Dennys, or the "Huck Fin Look-a-like contest" for the ladies at the sandbar...er ...rockbed.

I saw no MTV Raps at Buckskin Store on Saturday, and Sundance looked dead pretty much on Saturday. I did hear some rumor about some Freestyle MX Jumper getting killed jumping near or at Sundance though...never sure about those river rumors though... :)
