Highlights: Bobby Diablo & CM Vaughn host a rowdy bunch of drunken college kids on the lake! Beer, babes, boats, Canadians with more beer and the world famous London Bridge providing a historical backdrop. Trivia: there are 2 reasons Diablo and Vaughn are speaking with "irish dialects." 1) They watched PATRIOT GAMES a bazillion times and 2) they're drunk. Cheers!
Kasrvnotebook: Spring break, also less commonly known as March break in some parts of Canada, is a week-long recess from studying in early spring at universities and schools in the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China and other countries. From the end of World War II until the 1980s, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was a notorious spring break destination in the United States. On March 19, 2006, the New York Times reported that Fort Lauderdale's reputation as a spring break destination for college students started when the Colgate University men's swimming team went to practice there over break in 1935. Fort Lauderdale became even more popular due to the 1960 film Where the Boys Are, in which college girls met boys while on spring break there. Spring break's notorieties include increased drinking and sexuality, including public nudity. Residents of the Fort Lauderdale area became so upset at the damage done by vacationers, that the local government passed laws restricting parties in 1985. By 1989, the number of college vacationers fell to 20,000, a far cry from the 350,000 who went to Fort Lauderdale four years prior. Most recently in 2006 the Fort Lauderdale local government passed even more laws to prevent spring breakers from traveling there for Spring Break 2007 and many to come.
Spring break party goers responded by moving to the more liberal community of Daytona Beach area (over 200,000 students traveled there each spring at its peak), but after Daytona's local government undertook similar measures, the crowds of the mid-1990s and early 2000s had fallen to a point where "a few students still come, but officials don't even estimate their numbers." Fort Lauderdale suffered a recession as a result of this, but the local hotel industry survived by catering to the retirement population. Panama City Beach, Florida remains a popular spring break destination due to its relatively close proximity to many Southern colleges and driving distances.
Differences in the legal drinking age, and attempts at combating the behavior of the spring break crowd in various places in Florida, have also lured spring breakers to travel outside of the United States. Popular destinations outside the United States include Cancun, Mazatlan, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. Tour agencies have not only cited the lower drinking ages in these places, but also the fact that the drinking ages are poorly enforced.
KASR VIDEO was a weekly 2 hour offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired on public access in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely scene and new music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a guilty pleasure with the midnight party crowd. This is a condensed version with the music videos edited out. For more info on ASU Student radio goto: http://www.theblaze1260.com |
