Miss Sylvia’s 99 1/2 Birthday Party at Docs

I truly am starting to think that you don’t need a MBA from Wharton or years in Corporate America to market something sucessfully – all you need is passion about a product you believe in very, very strongly. The owners of Doc’s Bar love their bar. Weekly they keep coming up with really fun ways to entertain themselves, their locals and any un suspecting visitors who happen to wander in- day or evening. Their marketing is really smart and clever. Look at what they did this week….
Miss Sylvia’s turned 99 1/2 this past week and Doc’s hosted a party bringing together the local musicans and Miss Sylvia herself on the drums. Take a few minutes and click on the link below to watch some of the fun. And if you’re smart, in exactly 6 months you’ll be here on Tybee celebrating her 100th Birthday- where else but Doc’s!!!
Here’s what they said on their website:
. “If you missed it we are sorry. It was a great night. The mayor stopped by and everyone danced and sang along with The Queen. If you have pictures please send them to us and we will get them up on the web. Follow this link to the videos.”

The Slow Season is the time when Tybeeittes come out for good causes! Here are two events happening this weekend that you don’t want to miss! A special Thank You to Christopher Banks who created the “Blindfolded Buggy Race” to help raise funds for his first book to raise money for Guide Dog Programs ( I believe all of you know Mermaid Cottages sponsors a Guide Dog Puppy each year!) and to Susan Kelleher of SeaSide Sisters Coastal Cottage Shop ( http://www.seasidesisterstybee.com/) who worked to create the fundraiser this weekend to Save the Tybee Ta- Ta’s. We are very, very lucky to have such creative people using their energy for good causes.

We celebrated Mary Lou’s Birthday in Tybee Style!


 

 


 

Our beloved Mary Lou celebrated a birthday recently and we celebrated in great Tybee Style! Yes, these are adults wearing birthday hats- why- well just because we could! Mary Lou is now off on a road trip with another Tybee favorite- Joyce- they jumped in their car last week and headed off – a la Thelma and Louise- to drive to Texas! Not sure when she’s returning- but as she said- “I’ll be back before Spring!”

My weekend as a Pom Pom Girl

I’m off to my college for Homecoming this weekend, but even bigger ( especially since I haven’t been to one Homecoming in 30 years) is I’m attending because of the 100th Year Anniversary of the Marching Band- of which my Pom Pom Squad was part. More to come on this after the weekend, but in the meantime, here’s a picture of my squad in 1974 at the University of Maryland ( can you find me with my Farrah Fawcett hairstyle which we all had in 1973 on?)
You can also visit the website we have set up for the weekend http://www.pomterrapindancers.shutterfly.com/ for all the details and pictures! My years were 1969- 1977 with my actual years 1973- 1977. Enjoy!

Yes, these are some of our owners…

 

Pirate Fest here on Tybee brings out the best in people. Yes, these well dressed “adults” are some of our cottage home owners…. Truly having a great time over Pirate Fest a few weekends agao. We all had so much fun ( even those of us dressed in normal clothes) that we all decided that NEXT year’s pirate fest we are going to participate in the Saturday Afternoon parade down Butler Ave- we’re going to be Pirate Mermaids! Haven’t yet decided if we want to be on bikes or have a float- if we do bikes, then everyone can particapate. Don’t worry, we’ll give you all plenty of notice so all of you can be here on Tybee attired in your best mermaid and merman pirate clothes! If your schedule allows next October to join us for Pirate Fest- visit the website for more details. This really is a great time for all ages! http://www.tybeepiratefest.com/
