Jose definitely invited some people to the pool party to wear spandex and ride things late night, but this is not what he had in mind.
11pm
Jose’s nephew, Guillermo, wouldn’t shut up about how he wanted either two trannie clowns or a life-size Transformer at the pool party. Jose was having none of it.
Sabo seeing the heated discussion, offered to fill a pinata with Red Dog. No one responded.
In the end, they settled on some sparklers and a slip ‘n slide.
It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, the life-size Transformers were due at the Tampa/St. Pete Comic Con.

Derek Jeter wasn't there...
But three of his current or past girlfriends were. See if you can guess which ones.
8pm
If I have to tell you whether or not JYD was there, then you’re obviously out of touch with the reality of a Canseco Pool Party.
2am
When Sabo said he wanted to do some lawn bowling for cash, he conveniently left out the fact that he had tried out for the U.S. Lawn Bowling Over-18 Team, and that the only reason he didn’t make the team was suspicion by team leadership that his glasses contained some sort of performance-enhancers. An hour later, Stieb was into the bespectacled one for 20 large.
2am
Maria Shriver was unable to attend. She and Arnold received the invitation, but he was busy shooting End of Days, and Maria was working on a Dateline: NBC story about abusive nannies caught on tape.

There was plenty of this sort of thing at the Pool Party.
Except with 100% more tramp stamps and fake tannage.

Sleeves Small, Mullet Tall. He said he like the oceaaaaaaan.
6pm
Dwayne Schintzius was there…parking cars.
You see, Jose and D-Schintz had a bet going on the previous spring’s Final Four. For some reason Dwayne bet heavily on the Utes, meaning he inherited valet duties (red jacket, bowtie, and all) at the Cansecos’ next pool party.
8am
Who made this coffee? If you don’t know who made it, you’ve got to dump it. No way they are going to get me.

Uh-oh — could be bad news for The Rocket, but good news for pool party fans everywhere (via Yahoo! Sports):
Two photographs that may link Roger Clemens to having attended the infamous 1998 party at Jose Canseco’s Florida home are in the hands of IRS special Jeff Novitzky.
Rest assured, our well-placed operatives are working overtime to get their hands on these photos, so that we might share them with you ASAP.

11am
Yasmine Bleeth was not at the party. But not for the obvious “injecting cocaine” reason you might suspect. No, Ms. Bleeth was actually busy attending a premiere for the Trey Parker/Matt Stone vehicle BASEketball, and the private jet she was supposed to catch to get to the party got delayed (which may or may not have had something to do with Charles Oakley and a Las Vegas hot tub — more on that to follow)
