I promised a review of the new Margaritaville products that I stumbled upon in Florida last week, so here you go:
Margaritaville Spiked Tea: Kind of a tea-like flavor. Lightly carbonated. On the sweet side. I found it to be quite refreshing. Great right from the bottle or over ice. This product is more like Mike’s Hard Iced Tea than it is like Twisted Tea. If I had to rank it among these, I would put it after Twisted Tea and before Mike’s. I would buy this again.
Margaritaville Spiked Lemonade: Not as sweet as some competitors. In fact, I found it to have a bitter edge to it. Descent lemon flavor comes through. Lightly carbonated. I didn’t care for the first one I had. I would not be able to drink a few of these in a row. Later in the week I gave it another chance over ice. That was better. Definitely more refreshing that way. Not sure I would buy this again, but wouldn’t turn one down if someone offered it. I would add ice though.
There you have it. Keep an eye out for it when shopping. Maybe it will be in Michigan soon. I would be interested in your opinions too.

This just in, from our roving reporter Mike, vacationing in Florida. “Breaking News!! Margaritaville sells spiked tea and spiked lemonade! Review to follow….”

Jimmy got another shout-out in the Late Show Top Ten List, Wednesday night, April 13. (For all you completists, the other half of the Top Ten follows after the jump.)

Mike got himself a pair of Margaritaville Eyewear recently. Here he is, showing them off.
We weren’t able to record a new episode last night (since one or two of us had family matters to attend to) but we at least got this little video recorded. Here are some other photos from our mini-cast.

Palacenet.com, the website for the Meadowbrook and Pine Knob (DTE Energy) amphitheaters and the Palace of Auburn Hills arena, had Buffett’s ad as the sole image for their front page. This splash page is no more, but you can still see the image here.
It took a few days, but the Detroit Free Press finally printed this year’s concert ad today, Sunday. Presumably this is our first look at the “Fin Land” logo.

Having learned yesterday, via Buffett World, that WOMC 104.3 had broken the news of a July 21 Pine Knob concert, I kept my recorder tuned to WOMC this morning to attempt capturing this year’s radio commercial. I recorded four hours this morning (an hour forty-five of which was silence…grrrr) and another two hours this afternoon. WOMC broadcast the ad at 12:40 PM.
The ad is shorter than usual, only :30, and I’m not sure if this is a cost-saving measure or if there might be a :60 version out there too. There was no newspaper ad this morning in the Detroit Free Press so I’m keeping an eye out for that as well.
Update: I managed to catch the :60 version Friday, March 11, on WCSX 94.7. I recorded six hours of them this morning and, listening back to the files, encountered the ad after only fourteen minutes (having aired at around 6:20 AM, I guess). Quite the opposite of how it usually goes…
Mike, Scott, and Schmoe try out Roger Clyne’s new Mexican Moonshine tequila. Recorded Wednesday, October 27 2010, at Zodiac; with cameos by Joe Maj, James, and Jennifer. (Video might not be quite up to snuff; it was recorded on a cellphone.)
Scott just had his first shot of Roger Clyne’s Mexican Moonshine, just arrived direct from Arizona by way of Ohio.

It’s surreal, sublime, man-made, and divine
It’s the moonshine….
Scott’s prayers have been answered. Margaritaville Rum has been sighted in our area — but it was Mike who spotted it.
Here’s Mike’s slightly live report from his neighborhood Meijer’s…
