Sounds like a quality event.  Is it a cash bar??

[PeeJayEss]

Yes, sir. There will be specials on beer, wine, and liquor drinks throughout the night, and part of the bar proceeds will benefit Surfrider. Also, this may be the first place on the First Coast where you can try Bombora Vodka (don't know for sure on this as distributors generally do things last minute).
It is a quality event though.
