Some Rain, Some Sun…

The fun continues in Destin. It started out Thursday evening. Sunshine Cindy went to Crab Island Cantina to pick up some post card flyers for the upcoming Southern Drawl Band concerts there on 4/18 at 9 pm and 4/21 at 2 pm. I stopped there on my way home from work to join her. We got the flyers then hung around for a bit. Dominic joined us for a while. Loren was behind the bar. A storm was moving in. We decided to head home before it hit. Not long after we got home the skies opened up. A major line of thunderstorms blew through.

Friday cleared up and the weather was nice. We had a parrothead meeting at Harry T’s. We had a good time there meeting some new friends. We left there and headed back to the Cantina for some dinner. Greg and Dominic were working the bar and the place was pretty crowded. We got to meet some of the local radio folks too as we tried to talk them into coming to the SDB show.

Off to the American Legion we went for karaoke. Judie, Kelly, Russ, Julie, Capt. John were all there. We had the place to ourselves. Old friend Henry was behind the bar. Good seeing him again. We had a blast there.

Saturday was another busy day. I worked on the monthly Crab Island Mambo Mullet Wrapper newsletter. Check it out here:  http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Mullet-Wrapper-April-2013.html  In the afternoon I headed to Malibu Jacks then I walked over to Hogs Breath. The weather was perfect. The sun was actually hot. I went down to the harbor and stopped in at Crazy Lobster. Jesse was working the outside bar. He is still excited about being the bartender of the month last month for us. A good crowd was there. I talked to Jasmine who had just two weeks before moved to our area from Chicago. Jesse’s girlfriend then came by and joined the fun.

Sunshine Cindy made it and the party was on. We hung around the Lobster for a while then walked down to the Boathouse. It was packed inside and out so we walked back down the harbor and stopped at the Shark Shack. Kerby was there holding court. A couple of guys stopped and started preaching and blessing the bar. That was a first for us. I had a good conversation with Kerby about how to try and drive traffic to Malibu Jack’s. We need to talk to James the owner.

When we left the harbor we stopped in at Sago. Stephanie was working. Rhett was there playing pool. A decent crowd was in the place. We hung out there a while then headed home.

Sunday morning the weather had taken another turn for the worse. We had driving rain. It was coming in right off the Gulf just like a tropical system. This went on till the late afternoon. The only thing I did all day was go to Landshark Pizza to join Jan, Loujean, Kenny and Julie. Sunshine Cindy decided to stay home instead of getting wet. We watched the Masters and solved some of the world’s problems. Then it was home and getting ready for the work week.

Join us Thursday night on the Destin harbor for Southern Drawl Band. They are great! Hope to see ya’ll there!!!
