Last week, we told you about tonight's Zombie Jamboree at Mai-Kai. It begins at 5 p.m. Are you going?
talking to people. I love bringing people together. I love to throw
parties and organize events. I love to educate people about the craft
that I do in a fun manner. In my line of work, you meet people from all
over the world, and it's especially fun when you get to customize the
experience for each guest. For example, you get a couple from the
Midwest that's not used to drinking tropical drinks and they come to the
bar and order a Cosmopolitan and a light beer. They're on vacation!
Every part of their vacation should be something unique and different,
so I talk with them a bit and suggest a drink for each based on their
taste preferences. You know they're going to go home and rave about
whatever amazing cocktail they had in tropical Miami.
