The sunset on the River

This is an awsome way to start off a TGIF. After work on Friday I am going to watch the sunset on the rooftop at the Peabody. I am looking forward to getting my Friday started a little earlier with drinks my friends some live music and the best view in Little Rock.

Hangin' Out

Sean and Mike soak up the atmosphere. And the alcohol.

Hey man, if the music's too loud, you're too old! So with Dr. Zarrs blaring out 70s and 80s funk and rock and the background, partygoers loosened up and shot the breeze on the windy veranda. Sean Dunbar of Arkansas Business Publishing Group and Mike Ortega of FLEX360 take a break from a surely fascinating discussion on international domestic policy or, more likely, beer and baseball, to put on their best Soiree faces for the paparazzi.

Up Close and Personal

Abigail says 'cheese,' then eats some cheese dip

Meanwhile, Soiree sales queen and all-about-town nonprofit volunteer Abigail West Jumper throws caution to the wind, hits the dance floor and gets her proverbial freak on.

Band on the Run

Paging Dr. Zarrs ...

We're not sure exactly what Dr. Zarrs of Dr. Zarrs and the Amazing Funk Monster has his doctorate in -- maybe unbuttoned lame' shirts, towering wigs, or cucumber-stuffed spandex? -- but regardless of his academic credentials, the dude can seriously jam, as this fuzzy picture can attest. Zarr and the boys kicked out some old school funk and '80s shlock rock at the Peabody Little Rock last week, sounding surprisingly energetic despite bangin' out the hits the previous night in Memphis. Let's face it: any group of dudes who show up looking like a Bowling for Soup video already deserve props for sheer audacity. But when they dropped the funk, we knew there was plenty of steak under the sizzle.

A Brave New Scene

Never has such a cast of characters been assembled to promote something so pointless, so ephemeral, so fun. A "dream team" of UCA students, central Arkansas local celebs, media elite, eye candy and aging frat guy public servants are hell bent on creating a new scene on the westside of downtown.

I'm ready to hang out with the "beautiful people" and I won't be happy till I make out with the Watson's chick... or a weather babe... or Miss Arkansas............ or David Bazzel.
