Hey everyone......

It's that time again for our annual summer Kick-off party on Long Island with Tropical Drinks, Steel Drum Music, all the food you can eat, and of course - loads of palms..... Anyone from Palmtalk who will be visiting the New York area is invited...... In the last (4) years since we've been having this party, it has steadily grown to take on a life of it's own..... We estimate over 100 people will be attending this year. Anyone who's interested, PM me for all the info.....

I may be living in the Sub-Tropics, and it does have it's perks, Bobby, but in this case NOT....sounds like a great bash, one i am sorry to be missing. :(

Just goes to prove that the the tropics aren't just a place...it's a state of mind!

Have a Blast!

Bobby,

Wish I was going to be there. I got a hoot out of your biennial signing pics. I imagine a mic may be in your future at this event as well. Some day.

"Well shake it up baby..." :) I know that's going to be a great party, wish I could be there, especially if you're going to sing. Your guest appearance with the band at the farewell dinner was killer, so perfect, bilingual songs even. I enjoyed meeting you and seeing the 8 x 10 glossies of your garden. (You know it's a bad disease when people carry 8 x 10s of their garden AND people BEG to look at them!!)
