Spirit of Norfolk

Stacy’s chiropractor Dr. Bob recently celebrated his 10 year anniversary by taking some of his oldest clients out to lunch on the Spirit of Norfolk.

Spirit of Norfolk 070

It was a stormy day like the earth was about to split right into a thunderstorm. We left early in the morning and it was cold as there was a gale off the coast. The rain held at bay as we took off down the Elizabeth river and started dinner. Our group was lucky because we were closest to the stage and got to go thru the dinner line first. I musta grabbed a bit of everything on the buffet because it all was great and I ate it way too fast. We passed a huge number of navy ships on the way along the Norfolk Naval Base. After about an hour out the dancers came on and put on a show and then the camera died. The boat turned around, we came back to port, and disembarked.

Stacy was happy as shit about it and I thought it was a nice lunch event. Now that it’s been over two weeks since I’ve reconsidered whether or not I would want to go back and hold a party there. It would be a pretty good place to go for a black tie event, but I think it’s a bit expensive for a daytime event unless you are celebrating a birthday or an anniversary.

Announcing Rockers TV

Wanted to give everyone a big heads up on a project that I’m now involved with, RockersTVMedia.com.

RockersTV is the brainchild of Earl Chin who has been involved in the reggae scene for over 30 years. Earl has tons and tons of interviews with reggae and crossover stars and has been working with an old friend of mine to get the site up and running. The site just went live a few days ago, and I’m onboard with them as a technology consultant and project planner. This is going to be big, (think MTV Reggae!) so I want you to check it out and tell me what you think. Respek!

Owen Nester Trio at Create Bistro: Part II

We went back to Create the week before last to check out jazz trumpeter Owen Nestor and his trio’s latest weekly gig at Create Bistro. The water was actually running this time, which was great, and I had a chance to sample some of their food this time, a sea bass entree, which was excellent. Owen had a few guests join him on during the set and we’ve got it all here for you.
