JB made an appearance for lunch on Friday, February 8, at Margaritaville Orlando, but didn’t perform (he did sign a few autographs, though). Rumors are circulating about a possible “surprise” appearance with Club Trini at the opening of the “Porch of Indecision” on February 19th, but I have been unable to confirm.
Margaritaville Orlando is hosting a “tailgate” party on the 20th before the Orlando show. There will be a “Midnight Madness” on March 18th (actually the 19th) for the new CD at Margaritaville Orlando. Details to follow.
Lots of cool new shirts, hats, visors, etc., appearing in the store on an almost daily basis (Mardi Gras, One Particular Harbour, Drink of Choice, a new Tequila T, and a new logo T have already appeared). See http://www.margaritavilleorlando.com for some pics.
