AMERICA & YAYA’S BIRTHDAY

🎉💦 AMERICA & YAYA’S BIRTHDAY BASH 💦🎉
JULY 4TH • 1PM–6PM • PARTY ISLAND, AUSTIN, TEXAS
Featuring: Dustn’em 🔊 🇺🇸
📲 partyislandatx.com

Get ready to splash, crash, and dance your stars and stripes off at the most outrageous lake party this side of the Mississippi! Uncle Sam’s bringing the bass, and we’re turning Party Island into the land of the free and the floaty.

Expect:
🌊 Tunes bumping on the water
🎧 Uncle Sam on the decks (seriously)
🧊 Coolers stacked
💃🏽 People dancing on paddleboards
💥 Fire vibes all day long

But listen up, party crew — we play hard and smart. Before you dive in, take a second to read these Pro Tips to keep the party fun and everyone safe:

💼 1. Trash = Your Responsibility
Bring a bag for your garbage (and maybe collect some bonus karma with extra cleanup).

🧍‍♀️🧍 2. Water Buddy System
Pair up. Every 10 minutes, spot-check your buddy. Shout it out. Keep each other seen and safe.

💧 3. H2Overload
Drink two bottles of water for every adult drink. Seriously. No one wants to be That Guy.

🍉 4. Fuel the Float
Snacks and non-alc drinks are your secret weapon. Pack smart.

🧠 5. Vibe Check Yourself
Ask: “How am I really feeling right now?” If the answer is “sauced and dizzy,” chill.

👒 6. Big Hat, Big Mood
Massive sun hats aren’t just fashion — they’re UV armor.

🧗‍♂️ 7. Don’t Slip, Skip
Be extra careful on ramps and rocks. You’re not the same person you were on land.

👟 8. Shoes That Can Get Wet
Water shoes or old sneakers? Yes. Barefoot on rocks? Nah.

9. Anchor Down or Drift Away
There are TWO currents at Party Island. Don’t be driftwood. Anchor up.

🆘 10. Holler Early
If you feel off, speak up. No shame, no judgment — we got you.

🚣 11. Paddle Patrol
No paddle = no party. Guard it like your phone.

🌍 Let’s keep Lady Bird Lake clean and beautiful.
🗑 Challenge: Leave with one more piece of trash than you brought.

📢 SHARE these tips with your crew — especially the ones who think rules don’t apply to them. 😎

See you on the water. Let’s make waves — not mistakes. 🏄‍♀️🇺🇸💥

Sonic Salamander Sounds

🦎🌊 SONIC SALAMANDER SOUNDS 🔊💃

Saturday, June 21, 2025 | 2PM – 6PM

📍 Party Island, Austin, Texas

🌐 partyislandatx.com

Get ready to wiggle, wobble, splash, and slide—Sonic Salamander Sounds is surfacing from the deep for one hell of a waterborne dance-off. Paddleboards become dance floors, floats turn into lounges, and the beat echoes across the lake.

Expect deep grooves, wild moves, and amphibious attitudes as we gather on the water for the most squiggly, splash-heavy sound session of the summer. Whether you're sunbathing with your squad or bouncing to the beat, it’s a full-on lakeside celebration.

🦎💦 But hold up—before you dive into the chaos, here are some salty survival tips to keep things fun, safe, and salamander-friendly:

🎒 Your Float Plan: Pro Tips for Not Getting Wrecked

1. 🗑️ Trash bag = MVP – Bring one for your own mess and snag extra bits you find. Leave it cleaner than you found it.

2. 👯‍♀️ Buddy system ON – Keep tabs on your people. Every 10 minutes: "YO!" / "YUP!" Call and response.

3. 💧 Hydration is everything – 2 waters for every boozy drink. Trust us, future you will thank you.

4. 🥪 Snack like a champion – Bring some real food and non-alc drinks to keep that energy up.

5. 🧠 Do a vibe check – Every once in a while, stop and ask: "Am I okay, or am I just vibing too hard?"

6. 👒 Sun hat = cheat code – Block that brutal Texas UV with style.

7. ⚠️ Slow your roll on the rocks – Ramps and loading zones are slippery. Don’t test your tailbone.

8. 👟 Water shoes are clutch – Or just bring some busted sneakers you don’t mind dunking.

9. ⚓ Anchor your crew – No anchor = accidental float parade. The current’s no joke.

10. 🆘 Feeling weird? Say something. Don’t wait. We look out for each other out here.

11. 🛶 Hold onto your paddle – Lose it, and you’re just chillin’ in place with wet regrets.

---

🌍 Bonus Challenge: Leave the lake better than you found it. Take out one extra piece of trash. Be the cleanup hero Party Island didn’t know it needed.

📢 Share these tips with your float fam. We all want a good time—and it starts with being smart.

💥 See you in the splash zone. Let’s make ripples. Let’s get weird. Let’s sound off. 🦎💦🎶

Splash Test Dummies

Splash Test Dummies

Grab your floaties, crash helmets (figuratively), and big splash energy—because DustnéM is taking over the water with paddleboard turntables and a tidal wave of beats.

It’s gonna be a wild ride full of music, mayhem, and water-fueled fun. But before you cannonball into the chaos, peep these pro tips to keep things safe, smart, and smooth:

 Splash & Crash Safety Tips 

 Bring a trash bag – for your own trash and to snag any rogue floaters. Leave the lake better than you found it. Bonus points if you take one extra piece!

 Use the buddy system – keep eyes on your homies. Every 10 mins, do a quick “YO!” / “YEE!” call & response to make sure everyone’s still upright and smiling.

 Hydration = elevation – shoot for 2 waters to every drink. Being sun-dizzy is not the move.

 Bring snacks + NA drinks – you can’t rage on an empty tank.

 Audit yourself – Check in every so often: “How am I really doing?” The vibes get wild, and it’s easy to float past your limits.

 Big sun hat = smart style – UV rays aren’t invited to the afterparty.

 Ramps & rocks = sneaky danger – you’re not the same you that got in. Take it slow.

 Water shoes help – Old sneakers or cheap aqua socks are MVPs when off your board.

 Bring an anchor – Party Island’s got two currents. Without an anchor, you’re just floating furniture.

 Need help? Holler early – Don’t tough it out. Shout out. We got you.

 Don’t lose your paddle – It’s your motor. Keep it close or kiss mobility goodbye.

 Leave no trace (except legendary memories).

Challenge your crew to scoop up at least one extra piece of trash as you head out. Let’s keep our party home clean and float-friendly for the next wave.

 PLEASE SHARE these tips with friends who might not be in this group or who are just catching the wave. Safety isn’t a buzzkill — it’s how we party harder, longer, and better.

Now let’s SPLASH LOUD and CRASH SMART. See you at Party Island!
