The Memorial Day Post

I’m throwing a bachelorette party this weekend, so I’ve all but written off Memorial Day, which means that in purely selfish interest, I’ve yet to post on the beloved summer kickoff (some call it a holiday to honor our fallen heroes …. psssh). Last year I went big, with a Memorial Day Party barge through Austin SSC AND a river float that landed me dehydrated and on the couch with my mom bringing me chicken noodle soup (recap here).

Should you want to enjoy a similarly ill-advised weekend, the Austin SSC party barge is already sold out, but here’s a Rotundo Entertainment Group party barge for $40. You can always head south to the river to float–yes, it’s bumper-to-bumper toobs, but everyone is prepared for the madness, so it’s actually much more fun and less headache than I imagined it would be.

Should you choose to stay on dry land, United Way of Central Texas is throwing a mega fundraiser called Give 5, where people are encourage to donate just $5 AND tons of local business are donating 5% of their sales ALL WEEKEND to United Way. Many are also offering discounts, free gifts, and cocktails when you mention the Give 5 program. For a list or to donate $5, click here.

If you’re out on the town Saturday night, look for an awesome bachelorette party … I can’t tell you what we’ll be doing or wearing, but I promise, you’ll know it’s us if you see us…
