Pittsburgh Boatride
 

Party with a purpose

There is nothing like an Omega Psi Phi party. And when that party is coupled with the Labor Day weekend and a distinct purpose, it’s even better. Omega weekend 2003 began Aug. 29 at The Phase III in Homewood, where the crowd partied until 2 a.m.

Despite a rainy start on Saturday, the "Que B-Out" cookout was an outstanding success at the Hawthorne Grove in Highland Park. More than 200 turned out for food, music and family fun.

On Aug. 31. close to 900 boarded the Majestic and joined the Q brothers for an "Aqua Boogie Affair." The party was on! Deejay Nick Nice kept the crowd on their feet with a mix of old and new school music.

"People of all walks of life came out to have a good time. We pride ourselves that our affairs allow young and old, white collar, blue collar, dog collar and no collar to come together in a safe but fun venue without breaking your wallet. The beautiful thing is that our efforts will go back into the community," said Carlton "Big Daddy" Heywood.

If you attended the trio of events you may have noticed the number of Omega men who traveled from up to five hours with Pittsburgh as their destination. Their mission was "to turn the mutha out" for a good cause.

"One hundred percent of our proceeds supports social action activities and scholarships from the Iota Phi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity" commented event co-chair Joe Hogan. Hogan chaired the event along with Derrick Russell.

Hogan added, "I think this was one of the best boat rides in history. We had so many people attend from out-of-town. Next year we may add a second boat."

Whether one boat or two, the "Q" boat ride was non-stop fun. This year the planning committee had the foresight to hold the "Step Show" early in the evening. As always it was exciting to see these brothers kick and step.
"Bow, wow, wow, yippee yo, yippee yea!

I have to say that the Pittsburgh boat ride was massively owt this year. I attended last year and was pleased. I kicked it hard with the BG bruhs from Cheney this time. Oh yeah, THE BROWNS BEAT PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Re: OWT
 

Are you from Cleveland or near abouts where they are famous for their lake catching on fire?

Re: Re: Re: OWT
 

Born and raised in Cleveland. :cool:

You turned out to be a nice person despite the circumstances of such substandard surroundings. Your smiley definitely doesn't need any shades if its from the "mistake by the lake". What is a Brown?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: OWT
 

LMAO!! Doggy, Ideal08 and I both are from Cleveland. I have always wondered what a Brown is. I was told a time ago but forget. :(

A Brown
 

Brown has many definitions relative to Cleveland:

1. One who rushes for 115 yards(William Green) against the 2nd ranked defense in the AFC.
2. One who completes 20 of 25 passes.
3. One who intercepts a bum and returns it 75 yards for a touchdown.
4. One who stays with a bruh from Slippery Rock(I'll only call him Misery) and can rub it in all the way up until 11/24.

On another note.
The bruhs from Cheney are owt. I set Troy owt when he came up for the classic weekend. All of those bruhs are good bruhs. Jason, etc. They gave me the royal treatment.

GO BROWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: A Brown
 

I see that you know a few good Bruhs!! Did you hit that party in Edinboro last week?

Do you drink "pop"? Do you "warsh" you clothes? Do you read Dr. Seuss books in the style of Bone Thugs & Harmony. Why is the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland?. Do you tell people that you are from Shaker Heights when you really live down the street from a rusted factory? Cleveland, the town where you have to bring a fire extinguisher with you to go fishing in the lake. What is harder than finding Osama? Being a member of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. As Russell Simmons says......" Thank you, good night and God bless."

Hell yes, I drink POP!!:D

I WASH my clothes.

LMAO @ Dr. Seuss.

I grew up in Warrensvillle Heights, thank you very much.

Warrensville Heights? Is that anywhere near Ashtabula? Canton?. I know some peeps from there. Do people in Charlotte know what you are saying when you ask for a pop?

No, WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS is a SUBURB of Cleveland. You, my geographically disinclined friend are thinking ogf Warren, Ohio. WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS is BLESSED TO BE UNDER the mayorial leadership of Marcia L. Fudge, past national president of DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY, Inc.


Folks in Charlotte know exactly what I mean when I say POP.


:D :cool: :p :o :D
