Loose Notes by Andy Eng Pundits predicted this year was going to be a good one and from what we have seen on The SCENE, they got it right. March Madness lies ahead as does our patented Spring Fever Season. But first, a February recap...
MARDI GRAS - Came early this year and not a moment too soon. We sailed along with the Krewe du Lac at this year's Royal Ball back on board The Spirit of Texas Paddlewheeler with party favorite, South Coast, rocking the deck the entire evening. Never a bunch to throw in the towel early, the Krewe dropped into Amadeus to wrap up the evening with Abel and Phil on stage serenading the night away and if that weren't enough...

The super staff at Bakkhus Taverna handily took the torch with ease hosting the annual Krewes into Kemah Kickoff Party. Rolling out the welcome mat, lighting up the heaters, firing off the Flamin' Saganaki, and unleashing Samone and The Superstars on the masses made for quite an over-the-top evening. According to the weatherman, it was definitely colder this year compared to last, but thanks to the great folks at Bakkhus, it Bakkhus Taverna mattered not in the least!
Jerry Diaz and HanJerry Diaz & Hannah’s nah's Reef did their Reef @ T-bone Tom’s magic and Southbound kept the room groovin’. Good mojo mention to Bob and Jane Head and all the supporters rallying to send five kids to Spina Bifeda camp this year! The center of the universe found it's way to Zone 504 that evening for masquerading fun with the incredible Jabo playing only playing one set the entire night, a non-stop sizzling set of heart-thumping zydeco swing that lasted the *entire* evening. Now *this* folks, is how to start off the month!
February rain and clouds gave way to bright sunny skies as the Kemah Parade once again rolled through the lighthouse district. The larger crowds seemed happy to freeze down in Galveston at the Seawall parades that day. We opted to play it with the smart bunch and partied under T-Bone Tom's heated palapa.
