Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee /

Ms. Sylvia Gott is a Tybee music icon. She’s a peppy 101 years young and still rocks a nightly gig at Doc’s Bar here on the island. Yes, our lovely lady is known world wide for her talents as a percussionist. Drums, castanets, tambourines…you name it. We love to watch her play!

Recently, Ms. Sylvia had a fall and was hospitalized for a cracked pelvis. She’s recovering and is very eager to get back to her music! The community has been cheering on her full recovery and to help with that, she needs a lift in her home to help her get from her first to her second floor. There have been fund raisers island wide, thanks to the Tybee Arts Association and other groups, to help raise the $10,000 for the lift.
You can join Tybee in raising the funds to help Ms. Sylvia get her lift this Saturday, August 28th, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Doc’s Bar! There will be great food and great music, so please come! Wear your turbine and bring your maracas to shake in honor of the fabulous Ms. Sylvia!!
There will be buckets for your donations at Doc’s as well as many other locations around the island. If you aren’t able to make it to Tybee, you can head on over to the Tybee Arts Association website and make a donation through Paypal! Please help us help our beloved music legend!

We send our very best to Ms. Sylvia and wish her a full and speedy recovery!!

Our Technology Concierge Superstar

We are so lucky- we have our very own “technology Concierge” , Michael Bodine. He’s like Spiderman- he looks like a normal everyday person, but when we call him- 24/7 to come fix something that needs fixin’ ( a DVD player, the internet connection at your cottage, even that darn Direct TV that never seems to cooperate) Michael jumps into action! Always smiling, never makes you feel dumb, just a great guy to have around.

I have a brand new toy to play with, my very own Netbook which is bigger then a Blackberry, but smaller than a Laptop and oh so great! Michael found one on line on sale, set it up and tah dah! My new netbook has come into my life!

Michael was also so proud of his Christmas present. And only Michael could wear something like this and get away with it! When you walk into a home and are wearing this shirt, whenever you are around wifi, it lights up! Just typing this brings a smile to my face.

Thank you Michael- you are indeed the BEST!

Hollywood comes knocking @ our door

The phone rang a couple times on Wednesday @ my sister’s house. Each time the caller asked to speak to Ryan Callahan (my nephew’s name). My nephew is a freshman at the University of Arizona and was back in Tucson beginning his 2nd semester.

The 1st caller paused when my sister said he wasn’t home and she said “I don’t think I’m calling the right Ryan Callahan. Is this the house of Ryan Callahan the producer?” My sister laughed and said no. Although they live in LA and it seems that everyone is a writer, director, producer, or actor, my sister and her husband are in the medical field. And both nephews are not involved in the “business”.

The 2nd time the phone rang and the caller asked for Ryan, my sister asked what was going on. The caller said “You know the show The Bachelor don’t you?” And of course, since we love reality TV, we do indeed know of the show although my sister had not watched it this season. The caller then went on to say there is a big scandal on the show and that the Ryan Callahan she was looking for is (or was) a producer on the show who apparently had an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with one of the young women vying for the affections of the The Bachelor. WOW! WOW! WOW!!! And… to make things even stranger, Ryan Callahan the producer, has a brother named Tim Callahan. So strange — my brother in law is named Tim Callahan.

My sister had a fun filled conversation with the caller who turned out to be a reporter for the online tabloid www.Radaronline.com and she even offered to help my nephew Ryan get an internship at the tabloid when he was back from college. ONLY IN LA!!!!!

If you want to learn more about Ryan Callahan (the producer), go to www.radaronline.com OR go to www.TMZ.com and scroll down until you see the blurb about the Bachelor and Ryan Callahan. BTW – TMZ stands for The Thirty Mile Zone which represents the 30 mile radius around LA which is where so much of the celebrity activities occur.
