More than two years after opening Mojitos & Tapas, Jackie Hitchcock and her mother Marylu have the joint hopping each week with special themed events. On a recent Tuesday night, the restaurant on the outskirts of Washington, DC was packed with customers in masks and funny hats for an evening of Mardi Gras fun. These events have helped the restaurant attract a loyal following.

“We also have "Friday Nite Socials," adds Hitchcock. “ Mojitos & Tapas is a place where sophisticated adults can meet, dance, drink, and socialize, every third Friday of the month.”

Of course, great food remains a big draw and Mojitos & Tapas is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.

“We recently added a new service offering "food by the pound" for take-out,” Hitchcock says. “This has fast become a local favorite with working mothers in our area.”

The Three Guys From Miami have decided to join the 21st century and start a "Fan Page" on Facebook. The idea is to reach new audiences who may not have found the Three Guys on the web.

"We may even be able to reach a younger audience," says Jorge Castillo. "That's an important factor as some of our fans are older than Raúl!"

"Facebook has more than 175 million users, and that’s a few more than we have now," adds Glenn Lindgren. “If we can just attract a million or so, we’ll really be popular!”

To celebrate his new book, Off the Rails: Aboard the Crazy Train in the Blizzard of Ozz, legendary Cuban rock bassist Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, DIO, Monster Circus, Blue Oyster Cult) has recently launched a Kompoz contest for both musicians and music enthusiasts.

"I had the pleasure of jamming with Randy Rhoads and now I'm inviting you to join me in honoring his legacy, "Sarzo says. "I'm inviting you to join me in creating a brand new song. I'll play bass. You can play drums, guitar, sing or whatever you do. Then we'll let the fans decide! Crank up your amps to 11 and let's rock!"
