{The Rum Renaissance Festival is probably one of the best ideas I have ever seen! Instead of throwing some other kind of event and trying to get alcohol sponsors, just throw an alcohol event! You are sure to get plenty of free alcohol. Last night was a great example of this. Held at the private Bacardi Museum, there was, of course, all the Bacardi you could possibly guzzle in 3 hours, including some types that you cannot get here in America. They also catered the reception with really amazing food.I rarely recommend anything directly, but the Rum Renaissance, I highly recommend. The Grand Tasting starts in a few hours from when I am posting this, 2p-6pm Saturday, May 16th. Go go go! There are still several VIP parties left, so I recommend the VIP pass.}
