Austin’s Labor Day Weekend Last Splash

We did our annual thing in Austin this year for the Last Splash or Splash Days party. My favorite thing about the events in Austin is that it’s not your typical gay pool party you have at a W hotel such as the one going on in New Orleans. The Austin lake party is at Hippie Hollow off Lake Travis that is a nude part of the lake and you will actually see some hot boys walking around with their pee pee’s out. This is not a family beach. The only bad thing was that the lake seems to keep losing its water levels each year as Texas dives more and more into fracking and not having much rain in this part of the state. We also did not see this event marketed like it was in years past so the circuit part of the party was not all that.

The main party featured DJ Grind on Saturday night but there was no line outside like it was a few years ago. The after party was at Rain which we love that club but it was much better when DJ Seth Cooper played another club nearby that was larger and had a more fun environment for afterhours. It was a great time but next year I may have to change the tradition and seek out other parties unless they make some major changes to the main event at Austin Music Hall and actually get some party promoters behind it. Here are some photos from the lake.
