Yes, I know what you are thinking: Rules? What rules? There are no stinkin’ rules at Fantasy Fest! That’s what makes it so much, er, fun! Well, there are some actual law-type rules, which mainly get ignored. But I am talking more about the common sense type stuff here. I […]

One of the great qualities about the people of Key West as a whole, is that they can create an organic event seemingly out of thin air. This is the case of the Zombie Bike Ride. It started a couple of years ago with a group of people dressed as […]
The other night, as we were walking into Azur, two women wandered around the corner and asked if the restaurant was good. (If you have been here before, you know that it is one of my favorites.) She then said they wanted seafood and should they go all the way […]
The first time we went to Chicago for a Cellar Diminishment Party was in 2007. At that time we were going to a party hosted by some fellow wine geeks, in their home, and we had never met them in person. Now, we go to Chicago every other year for […]

This past weekend we had friends visit Key West for the first time, other than on a cruise ship. They wanted to see and do everything, and I was exhausted just thinking about it all. We started with the highlights, and naturally, there was a lot of eating going on.
Now that we have covered the Superhero cocktails, it is time to talk about the other side of the coin, the Villains. There are so many good ones to choose from (and still I have no costume ideas…) and so many good drinks to go along with them. Once again, […]
