When besties The Village Courtyard and Florida's Sunshine slide into each other's DMs about this weekend 😎☀️
Village Courtyard: 2:43 PM
Hey Sunshine 🌞 u busy this weekend? Trying to plan my Saturday. Don’t ghost me like you did Sept '23. 😠 Not funny!
Florida's Sunshine: 2:44 PM
Me? Ghost?? Never. I’m Florida’s most clingy ex. I’m booked Fri, Sat & Sun, 9am-7pm, UV index 10. Meet you indoors at Low Tide Kava Bar, or under The North End Taphouse & Kitchen 's new tent with some friends and chilly drinks.
Village Courtyard: 2:45 PM
Perfect. Last weekend you showed up at 11am, stayed till 3, then let that shady thunderstorm cut in. Our Villagers were NOT amused. He came blowin' in, stumblin', and loud. Lit up the place a few times.
Florida's Sunshine: 2:45 PM
Okay RUDE. That was Steve. Steve the Sea Breeze. This weekend he’s grounded sort of. No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade, his partner, Lux the Land Breeze is gagged at his behavior lately. There's 40% chance of Steve's drama Sunday AM cuz Lux is working a brunch in St Pete. He's a real bear, but I’ll do what I can to handle him. I think Steve loves the Bloody Mary's and Pete's Bagels Garden Goat at Stella's. Who wouldn't?
Village Courtyard: 2:46 PM
So translation: Sat = you + me + 87°F + zero humidity*?
*Florida definition of zero humidity = 65% 😆 🥵
Florida's Sunshine: 2:47 PM
Lol sure. Gulfport summer energy coming in hot! I’ll throw in a lightest waft of a gulf breeze so your Croc charms don’t melt. Deal?
Village Courtyard: 2:48 PM
Deal. But if you rain on my live music again, I’m switching to Moonlight. She’s less high maintenance. Though last night she was kind of weepy.
Florida's Sunshine: 2:48 PM
You wouldn’t dare. I’ll be there. Bright and early. Maybe too bright. Wear shades 😎 But don't forget I might be a little late on Sunday.
Village Courtyard: 2:49 PM
Copy that. Tell Steve to keep his afternoon thunder to himself. Love your shine! See you Saturday, you golden menace. 🌞
Florida's Sunshine: 2:50 PM
Wouldn’t miss it. Go stock up on cold drinks and ice cream at the Gulfport Corner Store🥤💅 Ur going to need it!
