I saw a poster for a "Ska Weekender" Turned out it was a boat ride along the harbour with 4 ska bands playing as we went along. I called some friends and convinced 7 other folks to go with me. We had a bbq at a friend's place at 11. It was great, burgers, sausages, corn on the cob...perfect.
We hit the peir at 2. The instructions on the tickets were vague, didn't say exactly which pier we were supposed to go to. It didn't take long to figure out the pier surrounded by kids with cheap fedoras, bowlers, mohawks and suspenders was the right one.
We loaded up and were out on the harbour by about 2:30. For the next 4 hours we got to listen to some pretty solid ska. One group even had a 3 piece brass section which was very cool. About half way along some jackass started a fight so they let him off at the nearest dock. Of course he wandered up the stairs from the dock with his shirt off, waving his arms in the air like he'd won something. I love stupid.
The rest of the cruise was alot of fun. We ended up back at the wharf just as the sun was coming down. We hit an afterparty for a bit then hooked up with friends at an irish place. Pretty good night all in all!
