the Roaring 20's

The age of glamour, jazz, speakeasy's, fashion, crime and sometimes known as the Golden Twenties is a perfect theme for a Casino Night .

Last night event was a Roaring success. All of the guests dressed to the "nine's"; ladies in flapper attire, guys as gangsters, entertainers and bootleggers.  The music was a mix of era's which added to the wonderful atmosphere and the four gaming tables (Craps, two blackjack and a three card poker) were busy all night.   
 
The organization had a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, several "winners" in the casino and a live auction with included an 8 foot gorgeous billiard table and a week in a mountain cabin in North Carolina.  This Brandon Parrish (who wish to remain anonymous) raised more money than ever expected, had more fun than most had had in years and have committed to doing this again next year.

So, when it comes to your next event, think about a Casino Night Theme and the Roaring Twenties; everyone will enjoy ! 

My day-time "life"

I ran into (not literally) an old friend of mine while out and about today.

She almost did not recognize me since I had on my bike helmet, shorts and a t-shirt instead of my usual tuxedo shirt, bow tie and vest as she had seen me in most recently.  I guess my face is an easy give away.

She was an attendee at a Casino Nights event several weeks ago and said hello to me as I acted as the  Tournament Director for a twelve table Texas Hold'em Poker tournament.  It was a fund-raiser for a local organization and they made tons of money; hint hint you can too if you book an event with us, we have many good ideas along those lines.

Today she saw me at my day time "job".  I act as a tour guide of Sarasota while riding a Segway.  Yes, you read that correctly, I conduct Segway tours of Downtown and the Historic areas of Sarasota during the day.   Ok, no I dont have any pictures of me or my groups but this picture is from our tour today - the wonderful dancing dolphin fountain on our Bayfront.
