Happy Hour

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 25 April 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Circling for a landing -- it was Happy Hour at the KW Duval Inn. This particular day in the palm-shaded patio, our congenial host J.P. was pouring freshly made Margaritas and passing out Key West cigars to all takers. A grand time was had by all.

What an awesome character!!! I love the pose and the whole look of the picture...he reminds me of a hollywood actor, I forget his name, but that's the first thought that came to mind as I saw him!

@Mandy: A character he is indeed! A very nice guy. And he has that "Hollywood" look you saw in him here, the name I also can't place -- not a leading man type, but a character actor... He has an interesting story; a recent widower, has two grade school age children, is from New York, loves Key West.

Great capture, VF ... and an interesting story about the bar tender.
I hope his children love the warm weather too - quite a change from NY.

@Judy: J.P. really wears several hats -- hotel manager, concierge, happy hour bartender, all in one.
