Ur welcome on my boat anytime!
Dave, is there a required number of posts to be admitted to the party on Saturday? I might be low, but if you count beers shared with Dave my count goes up by a factor of 10.
Deep at the start shallow at the end.How deep is it for the raft up???

I think it's like 30-40 feet deep in that cove? I didn't measure it last year, but nobody seemed to have any real problems, and we didn't end up on shore like the previous spot.. LOL (Which was nice)

So we are up to 70 boats for DS - I wonder how many will be at the raft up on Friday morning?
I have 100' on mine and a little over half was out last year.I'm asking for a friend who is getting a houseboat and needs xl box anchors and rope. Just making sure he has enough rope to make it.

Dave, you should put that houseboat at three dunes in the cove and we can watch the poker run for a few hours from the top of the hill and then party after! Since there is no Friday night party now. This could replace it lol
What, no house party at RD’s this year. Most likely the smartest move RiverDiva has doneThree Dunes won't fit all of us unfortunately. I'm actually looking forward to not having to put on some event on Friday, and just going out and having fun with some friends.

We were originally going to do the Friday night deal at Wired For Sound, but Adam got really sick and we just ran out of time to put it all together. So I ended up scrubbing friday night. To be honest we do so much during this event, one night off of not having to setup / tear down / etc.. will be welcomed.

Spring time wind in the desert, who would have thought.Gonna be interesting... [emoji52] View attachment 635651
I'm going to guess that by some magical miracle it will be up by Friday...[emoji41]What is up with the water level being so low? It's under 447 which makes the mouth of the river a bit sketchy!

No idea. Just seems like it comes up just in time to run safely up river.How long you figure it takes to raise it 12-18"?
Done.Mcrib and mrs mcrib. Can someone add us to the list please.
Looking forward to a great time we will be thereI've been running a little bit late on this, but it's time for the RDP Announcements!
THURSDAY STREET FAIR
We will be located in our same usual spot. For those that don't know where that is, we are located in between FUGS Bar & Legendz (Formerly Mad Dogs)

We will again be rolling out the Boom Bandits Stage, and this year we decided to have a little more "Fun" with the evening bands. We Hired "Electric Avenue"! They are an 80's throw back band that I saw awhile back at another event. They bring a lot of energy, and a lot of good times to their shows. Live Music Starts right at Sun Down and will continue on until 10-10:30 or when the cops tell us it's time to go.
This year we will again have POSITIVE TRIM right next to the RDP Booth, and we will also have Safe Glow Whips on the other side of the street.
FRIDAY - POKER RUN / RAFT UP
Last Years Raft up I think was location wise the best one we have ever done. The outcrop just North of where we were did a great job on cutting down on wakes as the traffic went by. This year it looks like they are bringing back the multi boat start, so it should be interesting to find out who gets to Card Stop 1 first. Located 1.5 miles north of the Pump Station this is about as good as it's going to get.
It looks like this year they pushed the time lines of the Poker Run back about an hour. The parade through the channel is going to start at 11:00, which would mean the Front runners should be leaving Thompson bay at around 11:20-11:30.
I would highly recommend getting to the south side of the lake and anchored up / rafted up by 11:00!!
Of course the RDP Helicopter will be coming by around 12:30 - 1:15 for the group Aerial shot!

On a side note we had to cancel the Friday Night Pre-Party at Wired 4 Sound. Adam got pretty sick over the boat show, and there's just not enough time to set it all up. Have no fear though, good things are still coming.
SATURDAY - AFTER PARTY!
9:00 PM until 2:00 am!!
(Disclaimer)
Please remember that all of these locations have "capacity limits" and we have hit capacity the last 3-4 years straight. This year I have tried to gear this more towards just the RDP members and not all of Desert Storm, so we are giving wristbands out at the booth and not in all of the participants swag bags. That being said, I would fully expect this party to hit capacity as well! Please get there early (8:00-9:00). If you show up at 10:30 at night, I can't guarantee you will get into the place.
People have been telling me for the last two years to try a new location and get the After Party out of the Banquet Room to try something fresh. So this year we have secured the largest bar in the Shugrue Family - LEGENDZ. While the inside is smaller than the Banquet room, there is an outside patio setup with a complete wrap around bar which actually makes the facility about the same!
Because it's an actual bar, we will be staffed up with more Bartenders then ever before, and we won't be limited on the kinds of drinks attendees can order. Where as before we had to pick two brands of vodka and one brand of this and that type deal.
Another upside, is because it's an actual bar with 40+ thousand dollars of liquor on site, we shouldn't have too many problems with running out of anything.

Note they will be clearing all the tables and chairs out of this side and the front of the bar.

There will be sponsor tables / booths on this side of the bar.

I have to run a quick errand, but will be back to enter in the Sponsors of Not only the After Party, but the House boat as well!

I hope you're happy... I'm coming to town again, and you'll be off galavanting about the desert...Always enjoyed your photos from the bridge during the parade through the channel.
