I'm looking forward to the entire weekend - what a way to celebrate mid-February. New Orleans people know what they're doing! Looking forward to celebrating in the streets of Seaside with a marching brass funk band!

also note the Hands Across the Sand special event at Seaside as well as other community beaches along Hwy 30A, and throughout Florida:

On Saturday, February 13th, Seaside will be one of many locations across the State of Florida hosting "Hands Across The Sand." This movement, founded by Bud & Alley's owner Dave Rauschkolb, is devoted to protecting our coastlines and waterways from the devastating environmental effects of oil exploration and support industries. The event will begin at 12:00PM on the beach in Seaside, where community members will join thousands of Florida citizens to draw metaphorical and physical lines in the sand; human lines in the sand against near shore oil drilling in our waters. For more information, please visit: www.handsacrossthesand.com
