New Restaurant In PC
We discovered another new restaurant in Panama City this week.
It's The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill.
Their address is 2499 Hwy 77 and they are in the shopping center directly across from Target.
We ordered a medium pizza and it was very good, with a light crust that wasn't greasy and fresh toppings. They have a full bar, booth seating and even a game room for the kids.
The decor is very tasteful and modern with really neat and colorful paintings of various animals on the walls. The staff was excellent and friendly too.
Sorry for the quality of my photo, but all I had with me was my cell phone.

Don't Buy A Gateway!
Well, I'm back online after several days of computer trouble, sorry for the dearth of updates.
My 8 month old Gateway computer has given me a few problems since I purchased it, but this last one required adding new components and re-installing Windows Vista and all applications.
Gateway support was unable to solve the problem and wanted me to ship the CPU to their Texas repair facility AT MY OWN COST, even though it was still under warranty! I elected to fix the problem myself, which probably cost me the same as shipping would have, plus I didn't lose my computer for several weeks.
This is my second and last Gateway computer. I've learned to carefully read the warranty when purchasing a new PC. We recently bought a new Dell laptop which came with 3 year in-home service.
Hopefully my experience will save someone aggravation down the road.
For The Artists Out There
The Gulf Jazz Society is sponsoring an art contest for its annual Jazz by the Bay festival in the historic waterfront community of St. Andrews, scheduled this year for October 17th and 18th.
Artists are invited to design and submit an image that can be used as a poster and can be reproduced on T-shirts to be sold at the festival. The image may also be used on note cards.
There will be a first prize of $100 and a second prize of $50. The winning images become the property of Gulf Jazz Society(wwwgulfjazzsociety.com). Other entries may be returned to the artists
prior to the festival.
Contest Requirements:
Color is ESSENTIAL.
Size of poster: 12" X 18" is ideal but you will not be restricted to this
measurement. Smaller or a little larger is acceptable as the printer can
make adjustments in scale to fit T-shirts or a poster as necessary.
Image edges can be straight, or can fade out, or can be uneven.
Printing (lettering) stating the event, date and sponsors is not necessary
Images can be in any medium
Must be jazz music theme
The winning artist will receive publicity and the opportunity to display
other works at the Jazz by the Bay festival on October 17th & 18th.
The artist will be asked to attend the festival on October 18th to sign posters
and t-shirts.
Entries may be submitted at Bay Art and Frame, 1109 Beck Avenue, during regular business hours, through July 31st, 2008.
