NYCBP.com Booze Cruise Recap
It's difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when Wednesday night's NYCBP.com booze cruise elevated from a fun party to a raging success, but I think it was about the time the bartenders started ripping shirts off. Sometimes it was a guy's shirt. Sometimes it was a girl's shirt. Sometimes it was their own shirts.

This was not a good time to be a shirt. For all others involved, it was a blast aboard the S.S. Floating Lawsuit. And I have 32 pictures to prove it.

I am happy to report that the winner of the PK.com ticket giveaway is alive today, albeit barely, and she files this report from her post in Connecticut: "I don't remember anything after [friend] got off the bar ... How I got from the boat to the cab or getting into [new friend's] apartment."

Surely she didn't forget everything. Who could forget seeing NYCBP.com emperor Kevin Fitzpatrick decked out in a full sailor's suit? I didn't know whether to give him my ticket or a can of spinach.

Who could forget Clay, the Joe DiMaggio of photographers, setting a record that may never be broken, by snapping 700 digital pictures in three hours? (Do the math, people. That's one nearly every 15 seconds. For three hours!) And not one from further away than 8 inches from the subject's face. Or tits. Or ass.

Who could forget her own friend doing shots with only her bra on top? Or the guy who drank an entire beer off a bartender's stomach ... after she poured it down her cleavage? Or the guy who reportedly smelled like chicken soup? Or the DJ whose expression after being given Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson CDs resembled someone having been handed a 1,200-page manual on how to build a car engine? What the hell am I supposed to do with these?

The stars of the show were unquestionably the bartenders Kevin recruited from some of New York's esteemed watering holes: Maria and Char from Coyote Ugly, who I swear could sell snow to the eskimos, crack to the Pope and a box of Snackwell's to that guy who won American Idol. Tracy and Jessica from Red Rock West, who probably have more stalkers than there are roaches in a Chinese take-out joint. Jo and Li from Doc Holliday's, who I think may have had more fun than anyone else on the boat.

Seeing the trio of tandems, business competitors on land, working together at sea, brought tears to Kevin's eyes. And erections for half the crowd. It was like the great Begin-Sadat peace meeting in 1977, perhaps even a bit reflective of the famous speech made by Mr. Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV: "I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"

Thanks to them for helping us kill brain cells. Thanks to Marco of MPcruises.com, a great guy whose boat (real name: Half Moon) I've now had the pleasure of getting insanely wasted on three times. And thanks to Kevin of NYCBP.com for organizing a really fun night.

Tomorrow, we'll have a full 12-question interview with one of the booze cruise bartenders, Tracy from Red Rock. Stay tuned.

So did any get the privilage of belting the crap out of that idiot Prisoner?

Posted by D at May 23, 2003 1:07 AM

Prisoner was not around, of course. The great irony is that while he threatened to make a public appearance, we all welcomed it. There would have been 100 people leaving and 99 coming back.

And, of course, there goes the chance of anyone taking anything he says seriously again. As if.

Man that was a blast, your pix are the best. I am glad the contest winner from CT made it back OK, she was the best.

Gotta do another booze cruise!

Posted by kevin at May 23, 2003 12:34 PM

You didn't really give your fans any info on the winner of your contest. You keep referring to her (as did Kevin on the last post), but no pictures? no recap? don't you think you should interview her for Full Disclosure?

Your fans deserve it. Not everyone could be in New York that night.

Posted by at May 23, 2003 1:31 PM

I seriously had a blast, thanks again Paul for the tickets, maybe next time I'll remember all of it. You guys are awesome to party with!!!

Posted by Livia at May 23, 2003 1:32 PM

Im not even 1/2 as interesting as Tracy from Red Rock, you wouldnt want to read an interview about me! =)

Posted by Livia at May 23, 2003 1:41 PM

Well, then you tell everyone about what it is like to party with PK.

Fans want to know what that is like, too!

Posted by at May 23, 2003 1:44 PM

I was in NYC on business that night,and never was able to catch up to this traveling party. After everything I read and from what I see in the pictures-- I am very sorry that I missed out.

Livia, you have to tell your version of the night (or at least what you remember of it). C'mon, give us the scoop on what it is like to party with a legend like Paul...

Posted by Cass at May 23, 2003 2:11 PM

Livia can give her own account, but I think legend would be overstating, in a grand way, my rep.

I did meet a very dedicated PK.com fan, Danny, last night at Coyote. Always weird to be recognized, but fun, too. Anyway, we did some shots and cheered for girls on the bar. That's pretty much what you get out of a night with me.

And maybe some Gray Papaya afterward.

Posted by Paul Katcher at May 23, 2003 2:21 PM

Running to the boat because we almost missed it and seeing a guy in a full sailor suit... I didn't know what we were in for. Although Paul warned me to brush up on my Love Boat references ... he didn't give me enough time.
About 10 people came up to me in the first 10 minutes and asked me which one of us was the winner of the contest, I think everyone on the boat knew who I was. It was a little weird at first, being sober, eating some really weird pasta (hey Paul I think that's why that guy smelled like chicken noodle soup) ... but after the first hour we were having a blast. The bartenders are awesome, probably the nicest girls I've ever met. Paul and his friends are so nice, it just felt like we knew each other forever. I tried to get Paul to take a shot from the girls, but I think he was worried about his image.
I'll forever be known to the people on the boat as the girl with the "nice nips." Well, hey it was cold I couldn't help it, plus I had a hot girl laying me back on the bar pouring shots in my mouth ... who wouldn't??
The only bad thing was the rocking of the boat was probably the cause of the sickness as well as all the alcohol consumption, I'd give it a A-.

Posted by Livia at May 23, 2003 2:27 PM

Paul- after reading about Livia's version of the cruise-- I am really, really pissed that I missed it all. Instead I was starving to death at NoBu ( that pasta salad sounded incredible compared to the shit I was served) and then had an obese hairy biker sweating all over me at Hogs & Heifers.

Kevin should have a quarterly cruise, or even you should charter one yourself for all of your friends and fans. It would be well worth the trip to NYC for all.

Posted by Cass at May 23, 2003 2:48 PM

why wouldn't you do a shot off a hot woman? Why are you worrying about your image.

sounds like it was a good time. tracy is hot.

Posted by Dan at May 23, 2003 3:03 PM

I'm not worried about my image. I don't have an image to worry about.

An occasional body shot is fine and makes for great photos, but licking where other guys have just licked and wearing more tequila than you drink doesn't sound too rational to me.

But rationality goes out the window when on a booze cruise, so don't count me out next time.

Posted by Paul Katcher at May 23, 2003 3:14 PM

I love that the photographer guy was able to talk on his cell AND shoot 35 ass-shots at the same time.

Posted by scott at May 23, 2003 6:56 PM

Paul, your math is wrong. I just got the CD from Clay the photographer -- he took 850!!!! So that is one pic taken every 7.08 seconds, but it was more than that.

The only bad thing is now I have to edit them all down to a managable size for nycbp.com photo gallery use.

And to the previous post, I do want to do another booze cruise, just don't know when.

Posted by kevin at May 23, 2003 7:08 PM

If you want to schedule one after the summer. I've taken the cruise up to Bear Mountain in the fall. All the trees are changing and it looks great from the river. But now your talking maybe 7 hours.

Posted by Pat at May 24, 2003 4:35 PM


Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the actual cruise but I had a great time hanging with Sara,Char, Coyote gals at Coyote then going over to RRW with them. It didn't take a lot of prodding to get Char to dance on the bar. I love the stalkers line about Jessie and Tracy-i had been tracy's favorite stalker for years. I've stalked her to the point that she's even committed minor crimes for me! Ha.
