***IT’S GOSPEL WEEK AT WEEK #5 OF AQUA IDOL, FEB. 9…..Hey folks…it just doesn’t get much better than Aqua Idol!!!!….. Aqua Idol for the WATERFRONT PLAYHOUSE is tonight, TUESDAY, FEB. 9TH !!! I have lined up some super vocalists who will be presenting rockin’ Gospel Songs to benefit the Waterfront Playhouse!!!! …Remaining contestants are….Drum roll, please!!!!!….. TREY FORSYTH…GREG CHAPLIN …ALEXIS LARSEN … BILL MELCHIOR …DESTINY MONTGOMERY …RICK BOETTGER …FIONA MOLLOY …ROCK SOLOMON …JEFF EGLESTON ……NINA NEWTON …NANCY ROOSE …JEFF JOHNSON …AND NIKOLA CZERNYI!!!! Sadly we lost Cameron Zbikowski through elimination last week, not because he had the lowest total in his container, but that he had to leave the contest as he was moving away from Key West. Cameron is one of the dearest persons…..he will be deeply missed. He honorably offered to ‘take the bullet’ for whomever was actually eliminated last week. A Class Act!!!! We will be losing another contestant on Feb. 9…Remember, the person earning the least amount of tip dollars one week is eliminated the following week. That is why it is important that you vote for your fave contestant with dollars to keep them in the contest. Our vocalists sing some great songs to Standing Room Only Audiences!!! You will NOT want to miss a single Aqua Idol eve…. 711 Duval St. starting at 6:30 pm until 8 pm! Get there early, for as I said, the place fills up!!!!! Laurie Thibaud is the terrific emcee Tonight, joining Tony Konrath and myself as judges will be PAUL COTTON, he of POCO Fame…All the money earned goes to benefit the Waterfront Playhouse. Fun for a good cause and the contestants have a chance to win great prize packages. Hope to see you there!!!!
ON LINE VOTING FOR AQUA IDOL!!! Now this is exciting stuff! Whether you can be physically there at Aqua Nightclub from week to week to hear your fave vocalists or not….we have made it very easy for you to vote for your favorite vocalists from week to week. This is how it is done…. Go to the Waterfront Playhouse website at www.waterfrontplayhouse.org. Scroll down until you see the ad for Aqua Idol….Click that image….You will then see various subjects at the top. Go to Support and then hit Donate Online. You will see Donation Details….plus the name of Alexis Larsen….one of our contestants. Hit the arrow next to her name, and all names of the 15 contestants will appear. Hit the name you are donating money toward, and then fill out the options of credit card use from then on. It is very easy. Thanks for your generous support of The Waterfront Playhouse!!!! Hope to see you at Aqua Tuesday…but if you cannot be there, please vote for your faves!!! (Note…On Aqua Idol Tuesdays, at 5:00 pm, Gary Symons, Waterfront Playhouse Business Manager, will run a report for all donations for the contestants since the previous Aqua Idol Tuesday. Those totals will then be added to the bucket totals for that Tuesday’s Aqua Idol….For instance….if a person received $50 in bucket money and $50 in online donations that would be like getting $100. that week. This is NOT cumulative, so this will be done for each remaining contestant on each Aqua Idol Tuesday.)

Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just for those who are ill…. I do believe that when we all send prayers and good vibes to those in need, those prayers mystically meet and surround those being prayed for. Sometimes we pray for miracles and the impossible….sometimes we pray to just cope with the results of what happens to those we are praying for. Sometimes we pray for strength to go on and to accept…sometimes we pray for thanksgiving. We are in this thing called ‘Life’ together….and we all have power within us to help our fellow man. Bless you for remembering our loved ones….Prayer changes things! Let me know if you know of anyone who should be added to this LIST.

*** THE AQUARIUS PERSONALITY…JAN. 21 THRU FEB. 20 ***
Aquarians are totally different from every other sign….something sets them apart from everyone else. The typical Aquarian approaches life from a very different perspective to most people. Each Aquarian is completely original and innovative. For a start, they are totally independent. They follow the beat of a different drum and need to go their own way through life. Those who try to stop them or hold them back will soon discover how useless this policy is. If anything, it will make the Aquarian even more determined to do their own thing…and if no one else likes it, tough! Once an Aquarian has made up their mind about something, you will go blue in the face trying to persuade them to change it….they simply are not interested. This single-minded determination operates in every area of their life. However, they are very hard to predict…so even if you think you know how an Aquarian will react to something, they’ll probably take you by complete surprise and do the very opposite. This is all part of the fun of knowing an Aquarian. The present is much more of interest to an Aquarian than the past. They focus on the here and now rather than get caught up in what happened a week last Wednesday. An Aquarian is light years ahead of others in their thinking. As a result, they can seem like an iconoclast, possibly even a threat, because they have revolutionary theories or go against the tide of popular ideas. They are extremely intelligent and very rational…they do not take an emotional approach to life.
This is the friendliest sign of the Zodiac….they need a lot of friends…and to know they are around….though they are really only intimate with a very select group. When it comes to love, they need to choose a lover who is also a friend. It is hard for an Aquarian to love someone if they do not like them too. Their partner must be intelligent and a good conversationalist. An Aquarian must also need a partner who respects their need for independence. They hate when someone keeps tabs on them and needs to know their every move. They do not want to be joined at the hip with anyone. They need the freedom to come and go as they like. However, they do not want to give their partner the same freedom that they want for themselves! The best signs for an Aquarian is Libra or Sagittarius…possibly an Aries and a Gemini too.
In careers an Aquarian does not want to be stuck in a dead end job. They are attracted to charity and humanitarian work. Being self-employed appeals to Aquarians, as they thrive on being their own boss. They do not think anyone knows more than they do. They do not like taking orders from anyone they feel is inferior to them. And that’s the name of that tune!
We love our Aquarian Friends and Family Members!!!
