We missed you!

What a blast we had at Aces on 29th for another “Thirsty Thursday Deck Party!”  Bean bags, brews, burgers, brats, baking in the sun, and ....dang...out of B’s.  We sent some lucky listeners to WE Fest on our nickel and we couldn’t have been happier to do so.  One of the great stories came courtesy of a winner from last year.  He joined us for a beer pong deck party and won tickets to his first-ever WE Fest.  I had a chance to talk to him about the show.....he said it’s the biggest and best party he’s ever been to.  Buses converted into dance clubs, tents, themes, bars, kegs, crazy outfits, themed camp sites, and a few close encounters with death (his exact words).  So this guy has figured it out.....follow KTCO to the deck parties.....win tickets.  Josh....congrats and have fun....we want to see pictures! 

The night was capped off with a scavenger hunt for the last pair of tickets.  We allowed anybody on the deck to dig......and they ALL did.  After moving every inch of sand on the volleyball court....we were wondering what on earth happened to the tickets.  Huge piles of sand were now accumulating and one girl was waist deep in a hole....I actually heard Chinese voices coming from it.  Nonchalantly, this guy hold his hand up and says, “yeah.”  It was marked in pink and was in-deed 3-day passes to WE Fest.  Thanks to Aces for hosting the party....check out the link below for some photos.
