On July 13, 2002, Hughes, Cumia and Norton hosted the T&A with O&A beach party in [[Angola, New York]] attended by an estimated 5,000 people. The event featured stripping contests, a volleyball tournament among nightclub dancers, which developed into "a rowdy event combining full nudity and lewd acts with foreign objects".
