MK is right, to all those who look for Albany fun each year, I have been working with Austin Peay St Univ. to hold an annual event which is along the line of some of the other universities. Due to the fact I prefer outsiders not attend this unless invited, I cannot give you the date which the event will take place, but I can tell you I have 4 camera people ready to cover this Spring college event which will include: The great dunking machine...(2) A giant 5ft high 30 ft long inflatable water slip n slide and (3) a portable swimming pool that we are setting up. With these 3 wet events, we are sure to get lots of pictures and video footage to present to the wetlook community after the event takes place. All we need is your prayers and finger crossing for sunny warm weather the day of the event so all the student won't mind getting completely soaked and not get cold in the process.

More to come on this event as it happens sometime in the next 30-60 days.

Yes...Albany is officially "dead" as a wetlook venue...we already knew that a couple of months ago. The tradition was basically "killed off" by rowdy drunken kids at the events in 2003 and 2004. The events used to start at noon and last for 4-5 hours. Thens in 2003 and 2004 a lot of inebriated people started showing up and fights were breaking out and last year there were over 25 injuries that had to be handled by the paramedics.

The Wetlook tradition was great until 2003...that is when people were showing up and throwing green dye into the fountains and causing mayhem. In 2004 the University tried to curb the problems caused by alcohol...and so they placed an alcohol ban at the event, and banned all bags from being carried in too (to stop people hiding alcohol in their bags)....but that never worked....cos all that did was....it caused all the college kids to "tank up" in their dorm rooms first...so they all got blotto before coming to the plaza.

So...this year....they have basically decided to restrict things as much as possible...and instead of the fountains being on from around 11am till 4pm....this year the fountains will not get turned on until some time between 3pm and 4pm (they are asking folks to play a guessing games as to when they turn on the fountains)....so by the time they get around to turning the fountains...they will not be on for more than 20 mins before the days events will be ending. Also...in a pathetic attempt to avoid all the fights and injuries that happened last year....they are attempting to divert people's attention by staging a "world record pillow fight" instead. This in a really brilliant idea....lets avoid all the fighting and injuries that happened last year....by staging a mass pillow fight this year. Obviously they must not be teaching "Physics 101" at the college.....otherwise they would know that a pillow may be a harmless tool when it is dry....but if you soak a pillow in water.. then you have a 10 pound weapon in your hands that can knock somebody's head off...ha ha....I can see the headlines on the 6 o clock news now....

Anybody who thinks a pillow is a harmless tool.....just consider what happens to a towel when you soak it in water.....you can do somebody some harm....

Anyway....as a wetlook event it does not matter that the general public are no longer allowed entry....we already wrote this off last year as a disaster waiting to happen...

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS......I will not say too much.....but lets just say that while Albany may be dead.....Weinerking has done an excellent job of promoting events like this to a college in Tennessee.....so stay tuned to WeinerKing and the Liquid Ladies website.....cos the tradition may now be dead in Albany.....but something new will soon be happening in Tennessee very soon.

Albany Fountain Day

Looks as though they are restricting the people who can go to the Fountain Day At Albany State University... too bad, but it may restrict the pics we normally expect from this event
