waterfest hotells once again

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

Yep, in '98 it was still fun partying out in the parking lot, drinking 
beer and watching burnouts.  Last year we were away from it but 
apparently these idiots were thowing furniture in pools, etc.  It seems 
like they have to top the destruction from the previous year.

That's interesting...and depressing.  But I guess I shouldn't be 
surprised.
I've lived my entire life in NJ and never been to Waterfest, but I'm 
sure it
brings out the best and the worst.

And central NJ (east of Bridgewater) is not usually known for it's 
pristine
lodging facilities, so I'm sure it's best to go with what you 
know....things
get hugely better west and south of there, though.
