Hey crew.

Tnks.

Spring Scream is this weekend April 4th, in Kenting . The date has been changed but the party is still on.
Great music, food and fun.
They are trying to keep it low key this year as it got raided last year.
I haven't missed one yet and I am not going to start this year. See you there.

It's a bunch of wacked out foreigner bands that you've never heard of before. The website for spring scream is www.springscream.com There are still tickets available.

a bunch of foreigners and their chinese wives/girlfriends decend on Kenting for 10 days of drunkeness, debauchery, and general merriment. Many people are hospitalized every year.[/quote]

And the problem is........My fiancee went with me 2 years ago. We had a blast. I guess Jason never had a girlfriend here. hmm how is that possible he seems so stable and nice Rolling Eyes
