Bummer that we're losing this Icon of the Prairie.

Yes, the LP Lounge is CLOSED. It's official.



Not that long ago it was for sale. You could have snapped it up for only $925,000 (including some acreage).

Perhaps. But that's not my point. It's an Icon of the Prairie. And we'll miss it.

It's been there for the 21 years *I* have been at LP.

It was there before most of us ever HEARD of LP.

It was there before we ever jumped there.

It was the gathering place for the boogie. It was a place to go to say "no shit, there I was". If you said it was your FIRST, the bell rang. You happily bought that round.

The bell. The bar. The memories.

The wagon wheel. The bar jumps. The HYMN HYMN HYMN.

The pictures. The people. The vibe.

They used to move the pool table out. Did you know that? That side of the bar was WIDE open for *US* to enjoy. It was home. If for only a few days. And it FELT like home.

Then they left it there and it was covered ... in beer and good times.

The SMALLEST bathrooms ever. With ducks on the wall.

Waiting in line and stealing the "men's room" if the door was open.

Stinky. And bar tabs. And George being all grumpy with a glint in his eye when I asked for ice.

Poker games. BAR DIVES!!!

The WOOD ... Cunninglinguist time. That bannister has more memories hiding in it than an old folks home!

MadJohn. Richie. The Cock Chorus. The Crack Choir. Mac. Mac LOVED that bar. Lots of good times spent there with him.

Friends lost. Too many to mention but the memories will never fade. Their memories are in that bar, on the walls , ON the bar. In our hearts. Friends gained. It's been there for it all.

Memories. LP will never be the same for me. But I am so glad I had 21 years of the fun and MEMORIES.

This year will not be the same.

Don't take away my memories of it. Post yours ... because you can't deny, it was a FUCKIN' COOL PLACE to be!!!!

Ya it sucks that we wont have the bar this year. There will still be lots of booze drank, We will still go to the tower, we will still sing dirty songs that only we understand, we will still funnel a Madjon load (actually I have never done this;)) There will still be too many damn Canadians, and the beer will still be warm.

I will never forget the day I graduated AFF. I set on the front porch with Mac, Garfield, Jack and Wendy. They said I owed a case of beer but I didn’t have enough money in my pocket for it so I got a loan from Stinky to by a case. My life has never been the same since that day and every time I go there I feel home. Lets not burn that thing down just yet!

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th

Thanks for addressing the rumor about the bar Adam. I know it's not the response that will please most people, but with all the uncertainty surrounding the boogie this year at least now we have one thing we know not to expect.

Not having the bar is a very serious blow. Certainly given the choice to have it open or not, we'd want it running in all it's glory. But there is a silver lining. Some of the non-jumpers that used to cause trouble at the boogie won't have a nearby base of operations. This year the grand majority of the trouble makers will be wearing wrist-bands!

Let's not forget folks, this boogie is not about buildings and businesses. It's about us. So long as we have the company of good friends we have the potential to have a fantastic time. If you don't, you only need to go as far as a mirror to find the person to blame for it.

:( I won't be able to make it this year. I got a new job and I can't take the time off due to the deadlines on the project I'm managing. I'm looking into making out for a long weekend if I can find a reasonable flight, but I haven't seen a reasonably priced flight yet. :(

what's a naked rock



It's the rock all the naked people stand on.

see here


Me bad I clicked on the linkB| Now I have to get a bottle of bleach to wash out my eye's.

One dude exposeing himself on a rock wasn't what I was expecting. I saw that guy once with his cloth's on a real nice guy with his cloth's one hair groomed etc.

FWIW I stopped looking at National geographic for naked people 20 yr's ago after the big 40, after Al gore invented the internet.

If anyone has the urge to see some boobs, or dicks :S google porn on your 4g smartPhone (there's a app for that);), lappy etc or better yet go to Europe and walk thru a public park and try not to make a fool out yourselve's stareing at something thats no big deal except in the USA.

I've read their are even underage girls sexting? Way before my time People used to get excited when they saw a bare ankle at the beach in the USA. In some less progressive countries women still have to be covered head to foot AND have a male escort and can't drive a car.

Womens boobs in the USA are so retro even little kids won't look twice depending on how conservitive their parents try to be.

In the spirit of full disclosure I can not tell a lie I am a weak male and after a couple of days catching some rays in Bali on the nude beach.

I did look not just once twice[:/] I couldn't believe my eye's. The bell curve is alive and well we have have different bods for lots of different reasons.

But I just couldn't believe my eye's so I had to look twice not because it was that good . In the real world good is all over the place no big deal etc,

Why did I look twice? It was so bad that I couldn't believe what I was seeing. :o It was very full figured older women with boobs hanging down to her waist, that were flat as a pancake. Think age, gravity, etc and a very mature adult that should have none better, or she was just getting off by strutting her stuff in public. To bad she was about 40 yr's to late.

But you talk about a "outstanding" body:S that was it. and I did a double take to make sure I saw what I thought I saw:oB|

Grow up little boy's and girls. This isn't 1970 or 1990 this is 2011 any sex act you ever heard a rumor about a 8 yr old little kid if left alone with a computer can find it in 5 minutes.

Reality check. The off the cuff remark about burning down the bar isn't funny. Thats will never happen unless some dunbass without half a brain takes it seriously then what is the joker going to do say sorry I didn't know? I left my kid with zanny the nanny[:/]

Wrist bands and keeping the locals out. Their teenagers do you really think a adult is smarter than a local teenager that is highly motivated.:| Only Time will tell

I'm not sure how this will work out but I'm sure the LP Boogie will be a success as long as everyone shows up without any unrealistic expectations, doen't whine about the good old days , you already know what to expect so just keep a positive attitude, and suck it up cup cakes.

And Please even if your not having fun don't forget to track off on breakoff, etc etc and stay safe.

Please no more easy avoidadable accidents. Like last yr. If the new guy that is in charge of EMS service thats critical part of the boogie. I hope he's up to the challenge and I have no info that he is or isn't.

Boobs who cares:o getting seriously injured should be every jumpers priority.B|
