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 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.

And then they posed for this photo…

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.

Hey there fellow night crawlers (opps, is Halloween over?)

Ms. Tank here reporting to you November 4th

The crowd tonight at our weekly Wednesday Bike night was no surprise on this gorgeous evening. Our weekly “event” has become a sure fired way to celebrate mid-week. We did have some happy ladies tossing fresh red roses to our acclaimed musician Joe Santana. As far as I’m concerned, I’m just glad it was roses and not ripe tomatoes. Joe Santana will be booked again at Main Street that much I know is true. Watching people dance is my favorite pass time here at my Station and Joe was jazzing up the ladies tonight! If you missed the show, take a look at Joe’s music video below and then watch our event calendar for his next playdate.

Joe Santana Plays the Station

We met some great folks from all over the country. I try to meet people when I can get them over to chat with me. Make sure you tell your friends about our website and of course our t-shirts sales will be online soon after I find some models to pose in our new “fashionista approved” garbs. So, if you are interested in smiling for the Main Street Station send me a note.

This weekend we will have the Chris Hiatt experience playing Friday November 6th. Saturday, November 7th, will be a night to listen to a new band called Spitfire Band. We are excited to have them play and share their vibrational tunes with us.

Today I purchased a new chilled shot machine which I opened immediately. I wanted to offer more choices and still honor our low prices. So, we are now offering our patrons $2 peppermint schnapps shots. I am serving them in a Jagermeister tube…hehe. So come out and enjoy the refreshing taste of peppermint. If it is too strong, try 2oz of peppermint schnapps and fill with Sprite. A refreshing way to jump start your engine after a long day. Also really yummy mixed with chocolate syrup. Come experience the flavor!

Hope we see you next Wednesday!

Don’t miss our Halloween party this Saturday the 31st of October at 316 Main Street Station. Since we are across from the cemetery, I’m sure we will have many guests appearances! HAHA

We will provide our spooky guests with LIVE music with the local rock band PUSH http://www.myspace.com/pushflorida

It will be a celebration you will be happy you attended!

We will give away a cash prize to our winners who participate in the costume contest, so dress to scare!

Hey Friends,

It’s me, Ms. Tank…again bringing you all the latest from Main Street, Daytona Beach.

I was delighted to see so many of you come out to celebrate Biketoberfest 2009 with us at Main Street Station.

We all had a great time. The Crackers Lunatic Rock Band played on our front stage with their own folksy-comedy style music. They don’t just play to you, they engage the audiance into participation. It was great fun. You can read more about the Crackers at http://www.crackersweb.com/

Microwave Dave and the Nukes played the center stage. Their high-intensity rhythms drew people to the dance floor like a magnet. Their original tune called Roadrunner (Beep-Beep) had people dancing on the bars as seen in this photo:

Our HOT vendor this year was Cheeky-Chaps – “Cool Chaps for Hot Cheeks”. Their unique line of chaps were a big hit with everyone who saw them but enough with the words, look for yourself….

Ms. Tank

Hello Friends, 

Well it’s finally here – Biketoberfest 2009 and Main Street Station is a hub of activity.

We have a huge lineup of entertainment events for you. So come on down to the Station and celebrate with us. 

I took this photo Wednesday evening. Hundreds showed up to hear live music from The Crackers and Microwave Dave (for full details see our events page at http://www.316mainststation.com/316_Main_Street_Station_Biketoberfest_2009.php )

Our neighbors had a problem with their inflatable Coors bottle. It looked like the fan that kept it full of air couldn’t blow hard enough to keep the advertisement erect. We all speculated about a hidden message but in the end we wish our neighbors luck in fixing their problem. 

Our new line of Main Street Label T-Shirts are in and they are HOT! Come get yours today but hurry because quantities are limited.

I’ll be post many more photos of Biketoberfest so be sure to check out my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/316_main_st_station/ where you can see them. I’ll even pose in a few of them for you.

Ms Tank

Wednesday nights have become so popular with the Main Street visitors that we added a NEW bartender. Hatti assisted Melissa in the front bar. Together they were able to reach more customers in a timely manner. We are excited to have them working together. With our continued $1 beer special, we need to remember to tip them! They work hard for all of to relax and enjoy a nice evening out. Bartenders are so undervalued from my perspective. So, let’s give one up to the ladies behind the bar that makes us smile, laugh, listen when we are sad, and give us reason to come to the bar when we want to retreat from the world!

Make sure you check out the latest edition of the local publication the Backstage Pass. I, Ms. Tank, am the author of the short but sweet article about our favorite place on Main Street. I am hoping you like the pictures we took of our 4 bartenders and AWESOME! Manager. Hatti, Shelba, Melissa, Terri and Tim were so cute in front of the pumps that identify this landmark. We needed a way to share with more local folks just exactly what we do at the Main Street Station to make our customers so happy and I think our “Economic Bailout Program” is just the news they want to hear. So get out of your house, don’t drink alone and come experience the magic of the Main Street Station. We look forward to having you visit again and again!
