I'm here and you're not!!!

I'm in PC beach now, and this place is bananas! I came in Friday night, and things were kind of slow at first...but because it was so warm, there were a lot of girls in bikini's on the beach.

Other than Friday, it's been kind of rainy here. But that hasn't stopped the party. Also, there were rumors of MTV filming here, and Girls Gone Wild filming here. Well, the city (I hear the mayor) has shut down the girls gone wild crew, and has cops patrolling the streets (walking the strip) with their tickets ready to ticket anyone caught flashing. So you won't see the usual mardi gras type of celebration here. Also, since I've been here, there has been no mention of MTV...I think they decided to go to Miami instead. But you know what I think? **** mtv...we're still having a blast here in PC beach anyway. The parties are off the chain!

There have also been so questions asked on this board that I want to address:

Underage drinking - it happens (suprise suprise). It's very easy to get alcohol here. Well, it's easy to get someone else to buy it for you. BUT...if you get caught drunk and you're underage, you may find yourself in jail, or kicked out of the club that you paid $30 to get in.

Spinnakers and Club La Vela are the two hottest clubs here. If you're over 21...DON'T buy a gold card from anyone off the streets. The clubs have good deals for people over 21. If you go between 6 and 7 to get your hand stamped at la vela, you can get in for $5. Between 7 and 9 you can get in for free at Spinnakers.

If you're under 21, you don't get off so easy. I think you can get in for $5, but you can't go in and out as you please. Spinnakers, you pay half price if you're under 21.

If you go to the clubs late, you will be standing in a long line, only to find out that you have to pay $30 to get in (after you've waited in line for an hour). So go early and get your hand stamped.

I've heard people asking about hotels...and I think no matter what hotel you stay in, you'll have a blast. I did get to visit a someone at the holiday inn sunspree...and that place was off the hook. If you don't want to party at the clubs....you can hang out at the pool and party with your neighbors.

Great post raymond... I'm going to add this to the Official TripSmarter.Com Spring Break Report: click here

Sounds like you're having a great time! Look for the Beach TV and TripSmarter.Com crew at the clubs... we'll be filming all week.

Thanks for the new info. I'm coming in on Thursday.
I plan on hitting all the major spots and party.
Is there any other info or notices that I should know about before I leave?

Yes...PARTY HARD! The only other thing I would say is to take advantage of every opportunity you have. Spring break is one of the few times where you get to be the kind of person you've always wanted to be (behind closed doors).

There are going to be a TON of women there, so if you come across a girl or a group of girls who think they're all that, and have major attitude problems...don't even worry about them. There will be better looking girls who are nice as could be. I would just recommend not being an *** about it. For example...when you're at the club...you don't have to go up to girls and ask them to dance, or force yoursel on anyone to dance. Just dance. Have a good time...smile at a girl that you're close to, and most likely she will start dancing with you.

Oh...and just because you dance with a girl, it doesn't mean that she's going home with you. So don't get too wrapped up in that. For the most part, just try to have a good time, and good things will happen for you.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my previous post...but I would reccomend getting your hand stamped at both La Vela and Spinnakers. You'll have plenty of time to party at both places since they stay open till 4 am.
