Dabuque - 2006

why did you come to dabuque?

So sure some may not think its the place to party and while forced to create a lie to hide our own shame, we discovered dabuque can very well be the place to be. anywhere can, it depends on the people your with and not the places you go.

Stacy this next part is especially for you, so you remember more in 20 years...

blackjack, ricketty elevators, the nicest people you'll ever encounter, and crazy empty til 1:30 am bars, make for a great time. something new something quaint and a different hotel to be kicked out of . lotta laughs lotta bickering, and A LOT of pictures. dumbass mystery tour, cold boat ride, and cute country shops. Wine tasting, cheese smelling, "gas" , "poopsies"- shop that is, pit stops, questionable breakfasts, and cheap cigarettes( not to mention cheap everything else ). Puerto rican cuties, italian creeps and the disturbing kkk kid, ken the angry security guard, ken the nice van driver, the spider that wont die, the bed to put away. no fresh towels, cradle robbing bachelor party goers, and the heroic bouncers. Andy, steve, james, and jt our black jack tutors and lucky charms, the group of us in 40 years and requests for men with low blood pressure. dave and our stint at the holiday in, the pool bar and iowa fans. losing our way finding our way and losing it again, dead ends missed signs, food and alien phobias ( which do you thing is more logical abbie?). phone freedom, cage dancing, bubbles at the deep. cabs that dont come, drunks that wont leave, the other side and lot one, the julien, empty bricktown, the shot glass hunt. talking thru movies, late night munchies, dragon boat racing, finding out what dragon boat racing is, ugly girls and clay aken. closing down bars, then cleaning them up, no drinks on the dance floor, shouting inapproriate things in public - twice. licking dagmara's hand. the fight for the bathroom, nelly's cuddling, grading papers along the way.cows, roller coaster hills, and football towns, missing a turn pulling a u-ey. the headaches the midol the stuffy noses and gin ricky's - which we never made it to. An ALL around GrEaT time!!! who says you cant party in iowa
