Tonight, out with friends for dinner and either seeing 'Bolt' in 3-D or maybe the auto show. Partying on a Monday - what a concept! But the really big deal is coming up at the end of the week. For those that have been paying attention over the years, every year I help to produce a pirate festival in key west. And it's just barrels of fun. This will be my 8th annual 'Pirates in Paradise' participation, and I look forward to it more every year. Partly because key west is such a wondrous place - truly a world apart and populated with eccentric locals and charm to spare. But also partly because I've grown to know and care for the people who produce and participate in the festival every year. So I'm off to my two week vacation in a few days, and beyond excited about getting away from it all. And when I get home I'll have the bitchinest tan on the block.

I hope you have a great time partying tonight - on a Monday. I have little doubt that you'll have a good time at Pirates in Paradise this year and come back with GREAT stories. And I can't believe you're about to go get a bitchen tan... in November...I hate you.

Originally Posted By gadzuux Thanks all. We did see 'Bolt 3D' last night. Enh. I will say it looks grrreat. The story wasn't very involving and I would've liked more laughs. But it did look terrific. So I've just talked to my event producer friends this morning and they've asked me to sign up for the 'buxom wench and badass pirate' competition. I'm not sure I qualify as either one. There's also the 'walk the plank' contest that's still accepting entries. Both events involve significant amounts of rum and flesh - never a good combination.
