Things kicked off on Saturday at the Capitol Skyline pool
Thank you all for coming.
Beautiful swimmers KILLED IT (make that K.I.L.L.E.D.I.T) and we had the best time limboing, shark attack fighting, hula hooping, swimming, macaroni picture making and drinking and eating with you guys.
In the end, cops showed up, we had to save Stuart Lupton from after hours swimming activities and there are definitely some sunburn photos we will not be using in this set.
But overall-in our eyes-A SUCCESS, and we look forward to every Saturday from now on (next week - a very special early 90s series. Get ready)
Enjoy the photos, let us know who'd you like to see guest DJ/play at the party and all feedback is welcome (we're already working on working out some of the service kinks).
Get wet and tan with us.
First up some beautiful shots by Alyssa:
and then Dakota's Physical Fitness series:
SEE YOU ALL EVERY WEEK
God loves a cheerful giver.
HOT CHEETOS MAKE ME CRAZY!!!!
I need to hang with Dakota more so I look tan and hot.
Fewer man boobs, more chick boobs next time.
bring back the swimmers. every week.
I didn't get the email that my macaroni piece won the season pass - so i'll assume that you couldn't read my email. It's ok, you can just let me know I won here.
I think Micah won with his macaroni payots + a super sweet shark.
i saw your macaroni piece because of your short shorts. it wasn't a winner.
Cale - Lies. The contest was obviously rigged, then.
Eddie - you know when you have a really long noodle and you have to bend it on itself a time or two to fit it into the sauce pan? So goes it with my macaroni and the short shorts.
i agree... LESS hairy ass pasty white man boobs & beer guts... wow DC, not lookin so good...
I <3 HATERS (who were likely non-attendees)
go buy a maxim and then have a group man-boob hug
I attended the party on Saturday. Although the weather was great and the pool was nice, I was disappointed that the event was so poorly organized. We arrived at 12:45 and although it started at 12pm, there was no food or drink available until about 2:30. Also, the heavy smoking made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. It was very crowded yet people were smoking all over the place, even around children. I will not return.
@Disappointed
Originally the party was supposed to start at 2, not everyone got the memo that we moved it earlier to noon, hence the late start on food and drink. Next week it will be better.
We're also going to have a "smoking section" next week as well.
We all have day jobs and this is a new event for both us and the hotel, cut us a little slack please, thnx.
Even around children? Oh noes!
Oh I won't be attending, ever, if there's a smoking section. Sorry. It's bad enough to be thrown out of dens of sin (i.e., bars) by anti-smoking Nazis. No f'ing way would I go to an outdoor event and have to stand in a corral.
My party, my rules. I'm highly allergic to your smoke, that means you have to go stand on one side of the pool if you want to smoke. This is not the government mandating this, it's our rule. We'll carry on just fine if you don't come.
Oh I know you will, and as I said I heard it was fun and it looks like fun, but my principles, and I can choose which events to attend or not to attend.
I'm a highly considerate smoker, IMO, but being herded at an outdoor event to participate in a perfectly legal activity irks me.
quit being such a grump all the time, homeboy. the place is pretty big and i'm sure you won't be forced into a glass room like they used to do at airports. my guess is that it will be around the corner from the outdoor bar where there aren't chairs. that would be a good spot. plus it forces you to smoke a little less, which is a good thing immo (my mother's)
if you don't come it would be a shame b/c i won't get to feel better about my body when standing next to you. just kidding iyo
My girlfriend has a pool and I can smoke AND sell crack to preteens.
Maybe don't bring your kids next time. Also, if there is any type of rule regarding where I can or can not smoke OUTSIDE, I will not be returning. Will there also be a special cussing area? Or sunbathing without sunscreen area?
Hey, can I shit directly in the pool? Shitting is a perfectly legal activity, and I don't want be herded into some corral or "bathroom."
I also like to shit near children, if that's at all possible.
@oh noes
actual hotel guests are allowed at the pool, that's where the little kids come from.
no, we like cussing and we don't care if you use sunscreen or not. but we don't like smoking. and the hotel wants ashes and butts to be in the ashtray instead of in the pool. so you'll have to go over to the ashtrays to smoke. deal with it or fuck off.
exception: as long as you're hula hooping at the same time you can smoke anywhere
i smoke like a goddamned chimney and i don't have a problem with this, you fucking babies
also: if we catch any black people using sunscreen we'll announce it via bullhorn
I should have known this post's comments would turn into this.
Haters. It was a blast!
why was so much attention given to the ex. crackhead stripper on heels? she is in over four photos...one of which has been posted twice? get over it (or if you can't check out the latest pseudo-pornographic American Apparel ad campaign and don't bother others on this website).
comedy thief
mediocboy - once past your initial question your post makes little fucking sense.
Now everyone quit jumping on my bandwagon.
The new AA ad campaigns are actually pornographic, it's pretty awesome.

@cale: Smoking section is some bullshit unless you add infinite chairs to it or just make it be at the bar. Particulate dispersion of smoke outside makes your allergies a pretty weak excuse unless you're standing next to the person smoking. In which case you should know better than to stand next to a person smoking.
Oh just kidding - "In one scenario this analysis showed that a worker in an outdoor island bar spending 6 hours at the bar and two hours elsewhere at work will be exposed to a 24 hour mean nicotine level of 4 g/m3, equivalent to living in a smoking household."
People were smoking in the pool, the hotel didn't want them doing that, it was suggested to keep smoking in one area near the bar where the ashtrays are, we agreed, cause we don't like smoking. End of story. Let's move on.
@Dave - see, I'm always right
michael--I wouldn't expect you to understand whom/what I was talking about, you weren't even there.
why on earth are you commenting on an event you didn't even attend?!? get a life...preferably one that involves lots more smoking and, inevitably, lung cancer
@Cale
you are aware that even really dark skinned people get sunburned right? even if you didn't just say "yes".
well, i think smokity smoke smoke smoke smokey smoke and also smokey smokity smoke. as far as that goes, though - smoke smokey smoke smoke and smoke. in conclusion, the smoke smokey smoke smoke and smoke. ya know? smoke it
@Fitsum
yeah, I was just joshing cause that's what Eddie did last Sat cause he's racist.
Concerned shitizen ftw
@Cale: black people using sunscreen? everyone should use sunscreen, be you pale, brown, dark chocolate or otherwise
any time exposing your skin in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer, regardless of your pigment or the amount of cloud cover present, ozone layer ain't what it used to be
@ lily - thanks for telling us what fitsum didn't already
for the record it was directed at my friend whom i came with who happens to be a deeper shade of soul than most and he thought it was funny. also the brothers serving drinks seemed to enjoy it. it was all in good fun. let's not get on a race discussion, ya high yella mothafuckas. got an extra smoke?
medioc - whether or not I attended an event has nothing to do with the fact that your post is gibberish.
Smoking in the pool is full on retard.
I think that monthly pool party is a fantastic idea, and I had a blast. In regards to the complaints of the occasional pasty white man boobs, and hairy beer guts... give it time. This was the 1st party of the season. Everyone is still working on their base tan, and after looking at the photos of my err... uh...ASSets in a bathing suit, I know I am going to be hitting the gym a little harder before I party pool side again.
Dakota, please reASSure me you were using some sort of crazy mega wide angle lense that makes things appear larger than they are in real life.....
Actually I retract my prior comment about hitting the gym, I think smoking crack would be more effective... Mediocboy do you know where I can get some?
amazing picts y'all
mediocboy needs a nice warm glass of shut the hell up
Listen, here's a switch in topic:
GET MATT CREED TO DJ AT LEAST ONE POOL PARTY WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS!!!
As hard as it may or may not be to get him.
eddie is the most logical - plus he realizes taking a walk to wherever the smoking section is he can keep up on what is happening at all times. I think it would make the scene even more dynamic and the smokers can feel kind of exlusive
Dakota's photoes are great! love them!
But this ain't no LA or Miami! Where are all the hot people of DC?! Men: go pump some irons in the gym! Women: go get some sexy brazilian bikini's!
Word.
pumping "irons" is almost adorable, but "photoes"? DQ.
Sexy Fitsum, can you guess where Im from?!
Had a ton of fun on Sat. The music was just right for the atmosphere and the drinks were nice and strong.
I appreciate that emaciated plastic people weren't the only ones to get their pictures posted.
As a Cali expatriate I appreciate that DC people are
using their brains to focus on more important things than their looks. Pretentiousness is soooo boring!
Portugal!
Mediocboy needs to watch who he calls a crackhead stripper. Don't worry, I will see you real soon, then we will see if you are still running your mouth
@mediocboy: I'm pretty sure "ex-crackhead stripper" got so much attention because she's haawwwt.
is there going to be a hula hooping competition at any point? because i will be sure to be there, as pale as ever, doused in 50 spf (minimum).
i'm going to be sorry that i miss the majority of these.
Peter: Not Portugal.. but we speak it with a very sexy accent
no offense, but i don't really think skimpy bathing suits + heels are "haawwwt." ever. just makes you look kind of desperate.
(not passing judgment, i'm sure you all are fine upstanding individuals)
hayderrs ar fuhnee
I'm just happy that I didn't show up in any photos.
I think that everyone is beautiful no joke.
All of the judgment going on here and at the party is APPALLING! Everyone - including hot chick in bathing suit that covered more than what most of you were wearing, yet happened to still be sexy - was just out to have a good time and risked being judged by others to wear (Gasp!) a bathing suit at a POOL party. You guys all need something better to worry about.
Mediocboy: you must be less than mediocre, b/c you're clearly mad you could never get a chick of this caliber.
Alyssa: If you were hot, I'm sure you'd have a much different frame of mind.
the hot chick in the bathing suit and beautiful swimmers were the highlight of the party.... ugly people hatin is a constant on here - and i don't mean physically ugly. everyone needs to chill out and eat one of the pills posted on the background.
...I had a girl of that caliber once...and it cost me roughly $30.
i hope some of you (the hooker patron & more-than-likely- busted-girls-who-hate) aren't at the next one so I can look forward to attending for the first time. the blonde is hot and had style - nice to see not everyone in dc thinks looking good is j crew and gap flip flips. and the kids, and the smoke, and the gettin all worked up over sunscreen usage.... shut the hell up and have fun. its a party.
seriously, i wasn't hating on anyone. calm the fuck down. and way to pass judgment on someone you don't even know while scolding others for doing JUST THAT.
the only thing i cared to point out which i obviously did not clarify is that i think everyone is beautiful, i just don't know that people are entirely aware or conscientious of what they may be saying to the world with their clothing (or lack thereof) choices. everyone has different ideas of what is sexy and what is not, and we are all entitled to express them.
i didn't pass judgment upon a single person and i never would.
@svetlana....exactly
Hopefully no one will judge me if I wear my pokemon speedo and lime green havianas... I might get a few looks on the metro though
if you got it - flaunt it.
end of story.
i would hate on all this hatin', but then where does it stop? i just hope those being hated on wear skimpier bathing suits and the people taking their pictures use ever wider angle lenses to capture the buns.
mehhhh, ..i'm jealous. ..
but it's still a public pool when the public go there....
It would be GREAT to do a gay party. Consider it! As far as DJ's/promoters go...you should do a 70's/80's theme. Look up DJ Jason Royce (he's on Facebook still I believe).
