My lovely wife will be turning 40 in a few weeks! What better way of celebrating than a little beach party?
Anyways, here's the deal. We've invited a nice group of people to come to Negril and help us to celebrate. It's looking like we have a group of about 15 friends and family joining us. For the night of the party - 11/11/11, nice ring to that - we plan to take over our favorite beach bar (Sun Beach) for the evening for a night of drinking, food, and friends, old and new. We always love meeting new people, so we would love anyone who would like to stop by and join us and wish my wife a happy birthday, and have a drink or 12.
The plan is to start early, with cocktails around sunset, and then to make a night of it. I definitely am planning to have some sort of live music. We'll be there a week ahead of time to arrange all the details, but am thinking about trying to arrange for several of the beach musicians to stop by and play a little set for us. Has anyone done this? How much will it cost for, say, a guitarist to show up in the evening and play a half hour for us? My plan, and it most certainly can change, would be to have, say, the horn player to play a set at 7pm, the negril mento band to play at 8pm, etc. Not sure how reasonably easy to arrange this would be or what the cost may be.
So that's the plan. Sun Beach. 11/11/11. Feel free to stop by and say hi, and wish my wife (Georgia) a happy birthday. Just look for the hot blonde that doesn't look a day over 30(seriously). Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas!
