🌴🏖️ BEACH CHILLL + NEON VIBES + MUSIC 🎵 (20s/30s @ SIESTA KEY)

🌴🏖️ 20s/30s BEACH CHILLL + MINI DANCE RAVE TEST RUN @ SIESTA KEY
A chill beach warm-up for the BIG BEACH cRAVE coming next month - bring snacks, bring a blanket, bring your dance moves (or just your good vibes).

Date & Time

*Saturday, May 16

• 6:00 PM to ~10:00 PM (sunset ≈ 8:14 PM, beach closes at 10 - move cars soon after to avoid tickets)

The Plan

*This is a more chilll hangout/get-together - and a warm-up for the BBC -- the BIG BEACH cRAVE! -- which will be a larger event we're throwing about a month from now as a full-on beach dance party / rave babyyy!

• Saturday is the appetizer: meet-and-greet, chill hangout, sunset, and a test run of the setup / dance floor.
  *I'll be bringing the gear so we can play with how the "virtual dance floor" comes together — speaker, table, canopy, neon LED lights lining the sand to outline the floor, plus a backup battery pack to keep everything running.
• If you want to get some dance practice in before the real BBC event drops -- this is your moment. No pressure though, plenty of people will just be chilling on blankets and watching the sun go down, enjoying food and drinks.

Who You'll Meet / Who We're Looking to Attract
This group exists for people who care about their craft, their growth, and the people they spend time with. If you see yourself in some version of this, you'll fit right in:

***Creatives, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, Ambitious Professionals ** - 🎨💰
*** Growth-minded humans ** - into meditation, philosophy, self-improvement, exercise, challenging yourself, getting better 🌴🧘🧠🚴
** You value strong character + enjoyment** - 💪 🍣🎉 Have fun while forming quality, lasting connections

Core values for this group:** creativity, continuous self-improvement, and genuine enjoyment of life.

Mediocre connections are everywhere - this isn't that. Let's enjoy, create, and grow together.

Where

*** Siesta Key Main Beach **— We'll set up between the GREEN and RED lifeguard towers, slightly left of the main boardwalk that points toward the Green tower.
*Look for neon lights + music + possibly a canopy + I'll post what I'm wearing the day of so you can spot me / us

Potluck Style — Bring What You Can

• 🍕 Real food (not just snacks) — anything easy to eat that travels well. Sandwiches, fruit, wraps, charcuterie, whatever you've got.
  *🍪 Snacks, desserts, drinks — all welcome
• 🥤 Solo cups if you've got 'em
  *FYI: some folks in the group are dairy-sensitive or gluten-free.
• We'll set the food up on the table by the speaker so it's the center of gravity

Music

*Bringing the big speaker. Playing a mix of everything — rock, alt rock, classics, rap, hip hop, pop, old stuff, new stuff. Really good variety.

• I've been told I have the best most excellent taste ever in music 😏
  *Got a special request? DM me and I'll consider adding it to the list.

What to Bring (Optional but Encouraged)

*** BIG towels + big sheets **— seriously, the bigger the better. We want lounge space for everyone.
*Glow gear, LEDs, neon anything — feed the vibe

• Card games, easy beach games (Cards Against Humanity, Boggle, a deck of cards, etc.)
  *A light layer for after sunset breeze
• Trash bags — let's leave it better than we found it
  *Optional: anyone have a drone for epic sunset shots? Always cool to have.

The Vibe

• Two-ish zones — a dance area by the speaker + a chill lounge of blankets for sunset watching, snacking, and conversation
  If you drink, you* MUST **drink responsibly — that's a requirement. Be respectful to yourself and others.
• Headcount: no cap. Bring a guest. Everyone's welcome — just keep the energy chill and good.

Weather Call

*Current forecast for Saturday: high around 85°F with ~35% chance of rain — keeping an eye on it. If it gets shaky, I'll post an update 1–3 days out, or the afternoon of at the latest.

Optional After-Hang

*If the vibe's still rolling, we might wander to Gilligan's for late-night food or The Beach Club for more dancing in the village. Game-time decision — we'll see how we feel.

Contact / How to Find Us

• Walk straight from the main pavilion toward the Green tower, then veer left.
  *Look for the neon lights + music between the Green and Red lifeguard towers.
