| Q.
Where exactly is the Key Lime Cafe? |
A. The
Key Lime Cafe isn't a real cafe, it's a state of mind. Living
on island time, enjoying tasty beverages and food, visiting interesting
locations and just generally enjoying life. It's anywhere
you want it to be.
|
| Q. Where/When
did the Key Lime Cafe come about? |
 A.
Here's the story as we remember it, the Reader's Digest condensed
version. . . a group of us went to Buffett in Mansfield MA.
We brought the prerequisite cooler of Corona, a few things to munch
on and an air void filled with 5 gallons of Margaritas. As
we were pulling out the coolers, across the parking lot from us
people began pulling out a bar. We were amazed! (it was our
first show). Anyway, a year passes and it's time for the next
Buffett concert at Great Woods (it wasn't the Tweeter center yet)
Gary and Lee were hanging out drinking a few Coronas at Gary's apartment
trying to figure out what we want to bring to the show as our set
up. Lee starts banging away at the computer drawing a 3d rendering
what was the first Key Lime Cafe. It was huge, with a stage
and a few islands that were apart from the main bar. It was
a great idea and it stuck!! Over a couple weeks the bar came
together in Lee's garage. The bar is a feat of engineering
- considering a musician, a network admin, and an engineer built
it. It has survived many set ups and drunken take downs, and
attack by some jackasses and many road trips. Sorry the story's
so short, we had to leave out all the intrigue, the international
spies, the women and the tons and tons of cash in the interest of
space, sorry.

| Q. Jeff's tattoo
gallery - come on - you really get people lined up to take a picture
of their tattoos? |
|
 A.
Oh yeah - more and more as the night wears on. We often attract
a crowd just watching the tattoo crowd get photographed. Really
- it's a full-fledged spectacle of skin and ink.
Jeff started taking pictures
of ladies' tattoos at his second show and hasn't stopped yet (although
he did miss Camden 2002). For the nominal fee of a picture
of some body art, Jeff will pour you a Margarita. Depending
on where it is and how much you show - he might even pour you
a shot :) Just keep in mind that we're guys - straight guys -
so if you're a guy, we'll probably just give you a cocktail because
we don't really want to see your ink. Really.
So yes, the photos are real.

pirates@keylimecafe.com

|
Q. Boxers or briefs ? |
Gary: I like to wear a boxer-brief thong
Lee: Underwear?
|
|
Q. Have you ever smoked ganja? |
|
Gary:
I've tried it - but I never exhaled
Lee: Musicians don't do drugs! Geesh.
|
|
Q. Do you really bring a portable bar with you when you travel? |
|
First of
all, let's define portable as "able to be moved" because
if you define it as "able to be moved easily" then,
well, you're not really talking about our bar, now are you. But
yes. And doesn't everyone?
|
|
Q. Didn't I see you guys passed out in the lobby of my hotel in
Key West one morning? |
|
Um, probably.
|
|
Q. But I thought you guys could drink a lot? |
|
Well, yes,
but everyone has limits. Of course, we've found that the only
way to know those limits is to go just slightly beyond them, and
then adjust next time. Thus the hotel lobby you were asking about.
|
|
Q. Do you guys know Jimmy Buffett? |
|
No, but Lee
talked to him on the phone once. Ask him about it - makes him
feel important even though he only spoke to Jimmy for ten seconds.
But hey, Jimmy - if you read this: we're more than willing to
come to your house for dinner sometime. Just email us: jimmydinner@keylimecafe.com
|
|
Q.
How can I become a part of the
Key Lime Staff? |
| Now that we are
celebrities we get this question all the time.
The only way to become part of the staff is to endure
a week straight of hazing. The hazing that we
put the staff thru would make the Navy Seals grimace.
The unfortunate part is . . . hazing is illegal.
So, this puts us in a bit of a bind and keeps us from
taking anybody on staff. You can however become
a story writer or correspondent (unpaid, of course).
Check it out in the TRAVEL
or READING sections. |
|
Q. Do you guys have groupies. |
|
No, but we're willing to accept applications (ladies only please).
Just send photos of yourself in undergarments to groupies@keylimecafe.com.
Thanks. |
