Putting the fun in dysfunctional

Rebecca and Heather partying because they're patriots

We’re very fortunate that we have a pretty socially active CrossFit. This weekend is going to be packed with festivities. July 4^th in Hermosa Beach is nothing short of epic. It’s like an 80’s beach party mixed with House Party 2 with a hint of 90’s PCU. Here is a list of things to do this weekend.

Friday Night

Vinny will be throwing a July 4^th weekend kickoff. Supposedly, you are supposed to wear high tops and bikinis. He says there will be flip cup and beer pong (whatever happened to quarters and asshole?). Bring your friends and they can get with our friends and we can be friends.

When: Friday July 2, 2010 4:00PM-2:00AM
Where: 19 Ninth Street, Hermosa Beach

To their defense, it WAS 8AM.

Saturday

After the morning WOD, we will be out at the beach again playing volleyball. Bring your A-game or any kind of game you may have and come play with us. We’ve done it the past two weekends and had a great time. Why stop now?

When: Saturday July 3, 2010 11AM
Where: Somewhere between 25^th-31^st Street in Hermosa

Bring: Your favorite beer, a bag of ice, sun screen, water, snack

Sunday – Happy Birthday, America

It’s still not too late to sign up for the Hermosa Beach Iron man. It consists of a mile sand run, short paddle and chugging a 6-pack. It starts at 10AM. Then it’s fun all day as Sergio (AKA The Situation) will have two kegs buried in the sand in an undisclosed location somewhere in South Hermosa. Constance will also be having a 4^th of July party at her place to kick the day off right.

When: Sunday July 4, 2010 10:30AM
Where: 2150 Beach Drive #A, Hermosa Beach
Bring: A backpack, some Advil, as much drink as you can fit

Let me know if I’m forgetting anyone’s party. Hope to see everyone hanging out this weekend.
