ZOMBIE walk!

Last Night was Zombie Walk in Down Town Fort Walton Beach Sponsored by the Jaycees. We had a good 1000 people or so in a very festive and undead mood in front of our store. The whole event kicked off in our courtyard next to Fokkers Pizza. The jaycees were on hand doing zombie makup and collecting canned food. This was my Zombie Look, Which was fitting since after 3 hours of sleep from the night before partying with the cool art girls, I looked about like I felt!

The View from above as people start to arrive to have their faces painted, the kids were doing a down town trick or treat.

The whole family got in on the act. My little Mad Scientist Zombie. And his Candy ;-)

Even Dave donned a little face makeup but alice cooper eyes were as far as he'd Go............

Unfortunately my camera crapped out before the real action started but I Have to say we had a much larger turn out than I anticipated. The store diddn't have a lot of sales, but zombies don't typically walk around with their pocket books. So we had a LOT of people who saw the store and said they would Be Back! Hopefully before the Next Zombie Walk!

This is a shout out to all the shrimp festival people who have taken the time to look me up on line. Thankyou all so very much for seeking me out again this year. If there is anything I can custom dye for you please do not hesitate to contact me. I dye first, and collect payment later, that has always been my policy.

Mom and Dave Collaborate

Mom, aka Smila Stopped by this morning on her way to bingo. She has some of her paintings in our store wilddyes. Dave was working on one of his paintings, and asked mom to step in and help with the backround. Her Fine art backround and Keen colorsense were hard at work. I snuck in and captured the moment. Dave the diligent student sitting at his mother's side. Talent deffinately runs in the family. On both sides!

Peshi Paintings!

Peshi has decided to Join our Artistic Efforts At Wilddyes. Her paintings join Her Sister Lisa's on our kids rack at the store. She has already been commisioned to paint two more! I like her use of color and creative sense of humor. It will be fun watching her artist style unfold over the years to come. She is a sweet and funny little girl. We love her very much!

Makong Thai

Hey I am sitting down here at the store right now, we have had a few people come in and register to win a 30.00 gift certificate from wilddyes in celebration of our grand opening. So about half way through the day I get hungry and man I have to tell you i have been craving some Tom-kha-gai coconut thai soup like you wouldn't believe. So I went upstairs to makong thai and ordered a bowl. Words can not describe how good it is! for my peeps that are out of state, next time you come down you will have to eat at makong thai. See the picture included here of one of their signature dishes. This is a real problem since the restaurant is right across from my store. HEHEHE

I could be spending a small fortune in thai food in the months to come. Check them out at www.makongthai.com
