This week in Destin started out rainy. Monday it rained on and off most of the day. We stayed inside instead of going out and getting wet. Tuesday cleared up with low humidity and cooler temps. Sunshine Cindy talked to Matt from the Tipsy Turtle on Tuesday and he asked if she wanted to bartend a couple of Monday's this month. She went down in the afternoon to talk to Matt about it and agreed that it should be fun. Kirby will be there as the bar back and make sure everything is okay. She starts next Monday. Come down and give her a hard time. LOL

I went down to the Turtle after I got home. I had a chance to talk with Ben about the set-up for the seafood festival. They are renting us some space to sell our Crab Island Mambo merchandise. Last year over 50,000 people attended the festival. It will be a blast. We hope to sell a few t-shirts, tanks and koozies! We hope to see all of our friends there. Landshark Pizza will be there and of course the ice cold beer (including Yuengling Light) at the Turtle. 

Destin Seafood Festival 2011

The plans are just about finalized for our big party in Key West on Halloween day. Shelly has done a masterful job pulling this all together. Crab Island Mambo is the primary sponsor and we could not be happier with the way this is turning out. We personally know almost all of the musicians that are playing. The venue is Dante's which is a great spot. There should be a big crowd as we "Embrace the Chaos!" in Key West on Halloween.

On Wednesday Sunshine Cindy spent a good part of the day on the patio overlooking the lake working on her laptop as she develops a new "who we are" flyer for Crab Island Mambo. We want to be able to give them away in Key West. In the evening she went back down to the Tipsy Turtle to train a little more with Matt. Meanwhile I stayed home to catch up on some other Mambo stuff. With the busy weekend coming up at the Destin Seafood Festival I needed to get ahead of the game.

There was a nice article about Sago Sports Bar at The Palms and our friend Tommy who manages the place in the Destin Log this week. Here is the link to the article: http://thedestinlog.com/news/the-ultimate-sports-bar-existing-restaurant-gets-sports-spin-1.21640

Thursday now means football. We will be somewhere watching some of the game. Be sure to come down to the Destin harbor for the seafood festival this weekend. It starts at 3 pm on Friday and runs till 5 pm on Sunday. Music, food, vendors, kids games and ice cold beer at the Turtle will make for a great weekend. We will be there all weekend with our t-shirts and other merchandise. Come and see us. A full report to follow on Monday! See ya there!
