Hey Friends,

It’s time for a Bike Week update and a close look at a couple of my vendors here at Main Street Station.

Well, we’re mid-way into Bike Week. Hmmm…does that mean Bike Week  half-over or half-way-to-go? I say we still have four full days to go and that leaves you plenty of time to come see Rockin’ Rod and Top Notch Coffee Bar.

Rockin’ Rod is along the east side of Main Street Station. You’ll see Rockin’ Rod long before you’re browsing his wares as his flags, banners, and T’s are like so much eye candy.

Once inside, the first thing you’ll see is Rod’s T-wall. Spanning the full length of Rod’s back wall are licenced Rockin’ t-shirts from AC/DC to Zappa all displayed in alphabetical order.

For Bike Week, when you purchase a t-shirt from Rockin’ Rod’s, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win this hookah. The drawing is on Sunday, March 7th at 1 PM. So drop by Rod’s for your chance to win!

In addition to t-shirts, Rockin’ Rod also has

  • Hats
  • Flags
  • Belt Buckles
  • Wallets
  • Patches
  • Stickers
  • Necklaces
  • Lighters
  • Incense

Come to Rockin’ Rod for the “hard to find” designs and know, if it rocks…Rockin’ Rod has got it! 

By now, everyone knows the evening’s have been a bit chilly and I found a great way to stave off the cold. Top Notch Coffee Bar, located between my front and back bar at Main Street Station, will serve you a hot chocolate, coffee, latte, espresso, or my favorite a French Vanilla Cappuccino.

Rich and Lisa from Deltona operate Top Notch Coffee Bar and are open 9 AM with hot coffee and pastries to get your day going.

Says Lisa, “Stop by Main Street Station for a double espresso with a shot of Sambuca for the ultimate coffee experience, and remember…you can sleep when you’re dead”.

Hey everyone! Bike Week’s here and it arrived with a roar! Main Street is lined with bikes and people celebrating the 2nd largest biker rally in America!

Day one was off with a bang when a body-painted party-goer made her way down Main Street coming right through Main Street Station. Ever vigilant, law enforcment took an interest in her as did every other living, breathing male on Main Street.

Kudos to our on-the-spot photographer for snagging this photo of the offending boobs.

One of our vendors at Main Street Station is Johnny Kabobs. They have some of the best kabobs I have ever tasted. If you make it to Bike Week this year, you must stop by their booth and try some for yourself. While you’re there, be sure to sample their “Gator Salsa” as it is to die for! ;-)

Johnny Kabobs motto is “Rubbin’ It Raw” and they have a unique way of illustrating their message. Here we see two of Johnny’s crew employing their unique style of advertising.

Some of you may have heard of The Butterfly Effect. It’s a theory that says some things are so complicated, that the smallest of changes can have unexpected results. Well here at Main Street Station we have something new called The Pretzel Effect.

One of our vendors the Pretzel Brothers specializing in New York City Pretzels went mobile with their electric warmer so more of our guests could enjoy a hot pretzel on an unseasonably cold day. The warmer moved from place-to-place around Main Street Station until it was plugged into the one outlet that just could not handle anything more. Suddenly, the whole Station was plunged into darkness and the crowd gasped and cheered raising their beers in salute.

As quickly as we could, my crew found the misbehaving breaker and set it straight. We never would have found the overloaded circuit had it not been for The Pretzel Effect.

Be sure to stop by and try the Pretzel Brother’s New York City Pretzels!

Until next time,

Ms. Tank

Tim Dugger

Posted In: Ms. Tank Speaks Her Mind by Ms. Tank

If you weren’t on Main Street this Sunday, then you missed out on some amazing events! When I  arrived on my new motorcycle (see my new photo on main page on website), I was amazingly surprised to see the Tim Dugger country band on my property (www.TimDugger.com). They played for a few hours! We are so lucky to have them visit us! Tim Dugger is a talent not to be missed if you enjoy a strong county voice and performer.

Melissa struts her new Tim Dugger shirt feeling excited about the opportunity to have Tim sign her shirt. We were all moving and grooving to his original, heart moving voice. What an honor for him to visit us and we hope that you all appreciated his energy as he shared his young talent with us!

We hope you will keep posted on my music schedule here at The Main Street Station. We love to have new bands visit us and entertain us throughout the year.

Howdy guys & gals,

 

Ms Tank here to introduce you to some of my long lost family. “Gulf”, my cousin, was spotted at the annual Mount Dora Renningers Antique Show in November (www.renningers.com). I was so happy to see he hasn’t aged a bit over the years. In fact, he is looking mighty handsome here. Wouldn’t you agree? He takes life…”one mile at a time”

Over the long weekend we sighted a few of my extended family members. Here is a photo of Rebel Oil Gas located in Nevada since 1952. He is a tad younger than I am but nonetheless a growing part of my family. I was so happy to visit with family and friends.

I was excited to share with ya”ll a few of my family members. I am hoping more will come visit soon!

Hope to see everyone soon at the Main Street Station. We have been having a lot of rain down here, but it doesn’t stop us. We are still entertaining as usual. Our music, drinks & atmoshphere are sure to give you a new edge on life. See you folks soon!

Despite what may be going through your mind when you think of rain, cold and the Main Street Station is probably incorrect, at best.

This morning I arose to a somber day full of rain clouds, sprinkles, intermittent showers and a cold draft in the air. Remembering my awesome band booking for tonight, Alchemy, I was suddenly saddening by the fact that people may not come out to enjoy the Main Street Station tonight.

I called a good friend this morning over a nice cup of java joe. I mentioned it was raining and it may not be good for business because people usually won’t ride their motorcycle when it is raining. He mentioned that today was a good day to sit at the bar.

After hanging up the phone, I got to thinking. By golly, he was right! We have the most amazing Alaska heaters in both of our bars. It would have to get down below 60 before you would feel the sting of a cold wind. Upon a cold spell, we usually close the garage doors halfway and crank up the heat! This nice blend of fresh air and heat is a wonderful experience for mingling with friends and enjoying a nice cold beverage. I am hoping in the near future to offer more warm beverages. However, we just haven’t committed to creating this experience yet. I was hoping for a nice cherry brandy hot chocolate or a Irish coffee.

So, maybe you need to drive the car or truck out tonight and park in large back parking lot (for free)…but please don’t miss an incredible night of music with Alchemy. http://www.myspace.com/alchemaholic

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

One of my full time jobs at Main Street Station is making sure that we have the beer and liqour for our patrons and visitors. Its a fun job and I enjoy ordering all the latest and best, but also sticking to the tradional medlies. I worked out a deal to provide you cool cats with $1 Jim Beam shots for our new night on Thursday called “Beam me up Scotty”. I’m sure we can all think of places where we want to go in a hurry when we feel there is no intelligent life down here, so I’m calling the night after the phrase from Star Trek when Captain Kirk says, “Beam me up, Mr Scott”…. Jim Beam is one of the world’s finest Bourbons made in the USA. To learn more about Bourbon go to the website…http://www.jimbeam.com/aboutbourbon.aspx

Don’t miss our new night! When we get enough people coming out, I can bring in a band and we can rock the night away.

Hello Friends,

In keeping with my efforts to keep you informed on all the happenings in and around Main Street, Daytona Beach, I must tell you about the Tea Party that came to our backyard.

There were no mad hatters at this tea party and I didn’t see anyone chasing white rabbits either, but I did get to meet Ron and Kay Rivoli. Ron and Kay performed in Holly Hill, FL on Wednesday, Nov 11th as part of the national Tea Party Express tour.  http://www.teapartyexpress.org/

You may remember Ron & Kay from their hit YouTube video “Press One for English”, and if you haven’t seen it…you need to see it, so here it is….

Ron & Kay perform their song U.S.S of A. for everyone attending the Tea Party.

Howdy Folks,

We could not pass up the opportunity to share with you a few weeks in advance the well attended Daytona Turkey Rod Run. Mark your calendars and clear your schedules. The Turkey Run event is an annual event for car enthusiasts near and far. It occurs during the Thanksgiving holiday at the International Speedway. This year marks the 36th year!

www.TurkeyRun.com

Our event is one of the largest participant-based auto shows in the United States.

We combine a world-class swap meet and a 5000+ custom car show, all in one venue.

Daytona Beach is so lucky to have this event. We hope everyone can make it this year.

Since Main Street is the home of Bill France, we hope you stop over to share in the history and enjoy a cold beverage. We want to bring back our heritage so that we are reminded of the efforts of our forefathers to create the things and places we now enjoy. Giving thanks for all those before us is a part of our modern culture that we need to implement. But, enough wisdom from me tonight…lol

So, battle the traffic and take the time to come to Main Street. We are located next to BootHill Saloon

We are providing a band that will certainly get your booty moving to the beats. Come out and see Bird Dog Bobby from Chuluota, Florida. www.birddogbobby.com

The day of Thanksgiving we will be closed. But reopening Friday at 11am till closing that night about 1am.
