The Colony: Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 31 - Sept. 3, 2007) Video

Labor Day 2007 was one that became bittersweet. Not only was it the last time the Pan American Medical Association (PAMA) hosted their annual conference at The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort, it would also be one of THE LAST TIMES The Colony would even stay open. Just a few years later, the original Colony owners shut down hotel's doors, ending an era that was truly a gem for the city of Sarasota.

While the PAMA already chose a new conference location right before the 2010 closing, it would never be the same for those that grew up here, building such strong and memorable friendships. For that reason, this footage is extra special, showing the last of us living up the weekend in a place we truly called paradise.

And yet, even in a foreshadowing of events, we knew our last time being in The Colony would the last time for ANYONE to truly know this amazing resort, a surreal world of beauty along the beaches of Longboat Key, FL.

This video is divided in Five Parts.
Part 1 - David discussing his experiences in the Navy
Part 2 - Impromptu reggae jam
Part 3 - Walking along St. Armand's Circle
Part 4 - Pre-game drinking
Part 5 - Official drinking game to close the night

Dedicated to the Colony Kids who be kiddin' around since day one.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
