On Sunday We Went to the Rock Hard Cafe and Sucked Some...

...straws, of course. 'Cuz the Rock Hard Café is the terrific malt shop created by Avion where Madhurya won "Best in '50s" and Bea spun hits from the era. And that was after filling the pool (and deck) with a bevy of bathing beauties on Saturday evening.

Coming up we have Surfer's weekly surprise theme Thursday at 5 pm SLT, and on Sunday at 4 pm SLT a St. George's Day event where red and white are the colors as we all pretend to be teddibly Briddish, doncha know. OK, some of you won't have to pretend.

With the various time changes, and the rotation of the earth reversing (or sumpthin' like that), on Friday our Aussie leaders return with their Friday 5 am SLT event that is timed to accommodate just about all of our world-wide membership (morning in the Americas, afternoon in Europe and Africa, evening in Asia and Oceania). Laura's the hostess and Avion's the DJ. This week there'll be shrimp on the barbie and Fosters in the cooler as we enjoy a beach BBQ next to the new Surf's Up! Tiki Bar.

More on this later, but when visiting the VBII sims, drop by the Portofino market next to the landing area and enjoy a gelato. There are also new vendors there from Total Eclipse, some reliable regulars as well, along with a pair of Lucky Letter chairs.
