Hello Candle Breeze fans!
Writing this morning with Garden Spearmint wafting through my home while “Baby I love you” by Aretha Franklin is playing on my Aroma Radio Mix.

Annie one of our new Candle Breeze fans who is now addicted to Candle Breeze wrote, “I’m savoring a slow morning listening to Swell Season, while the smell of Amaretto is mixing perfectly with my coffee”. Not bad Annie. She wants me to hire her to write the openings for each blog entry. What do all of you think? If I were to give her the job she would have to put all of her last minute vacations on hold which would cramp her style. Maybe I should send with her with a Candle Breeze to all her vacation spots as marketing. That’s not a bad idea…

Once again the Tony Toscano “Talking Pictures” Deal of the Day last Friday was a huge hit with all of you. Thanks so much for ordering Candle Breeze for your Dad’s this Father’s Day. I have had many requests about being notified prior to the Tony discount. The best I can do is let you all know that Tony chooses the day on a whim. His Talking Pictures tv Show picks up the tab on this special and they do it once a month for a 2 hour period only. Make sure you tune into The Chunga Show @ 101.9 The End at 8:00 am every
M-W-F for Tony’s specials.

Getting some really funny comments about the TV commercial out takes that Matt has so kindly added to the web site. To answer a few questions that have been asked quite a bit; yes, that is my nose and not a cigar, and no I didn’t take Tony’s hair and use as extensions for my own scalp. As for Jeff in Palo Alto, Tony may be interested but Deno is a definite “no”.

I am also receiving some great Cand-O fragrance ideas from you all for this fall along with Aroma Radio suggestions. L2 was in San Diego last weekend and wrote that she went to see the
Rebirth Brass Band from New Orleans and wanted to pass along to all that “they were fantastic and the concert was a religious experience!” L2 has a lot of input on what goes on the Aroma Radio mixes and for L2 to rave about this concert they must have been fantastic. I can’t wait to check them out! A reminder that the Old 97’s are playing at the Paladium this Wednesday night. This alt-country band has been fantastic to see live and I will be there singing “Bird on a wire” word for word. Try not to miss them if you’re in SLC this week.

Golf, bartending, poker and driving consumed my weekend. “Jonny M” and I were bartenders at a private party Saturday night for a group of 100 Greek Arcadians. As “Jonny M” can attest, the Greeks put on a party like no other nationality we know of. The Greeks start with a open bar for the first 2 hours while copious amouts of appetizers that most people would refer to as a complete meal are constantly being passed around the room. The main meal was an abundance of Greek marinated chicken, stuffed grape leaves, rice pilaf, smelts, and feta salad. The easy thing about bartending at a Greek function and keeping everyone happy is keeping the Ouzo shot glasses full lined up on the bar. “Jonny M” was so impressed with this party that all he could say all night was “this is heaven”. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing a ballroom full of people laughing, hugging, Greek dancing, eating, drinking from dusk till dawn. The food kept comming until the last of the poker players were gone at 5:30 am. I hope that “Jonny M” is right and it is what heaven will be like. Congrats to Paul Roumpos for being named “Arcadian Man of the Year”.

If you would like to attend such a party you’re in luck! This Sunday the 15th they are having a “Taste of Greece” food frenzy. This $50 ticket includes over 20 entrees and dozens of Greek pastries to choose from. This is an invite event only but have made arrangements so you can mention Candle Breeze at the door and they will sell our fans a ticket. This event is far better than the Greek Fest that is held in September with no long food lines. Hope to see some of you there and if you stop by and say hi I will provide Ouzo for good cheer. It will be held in the Greek Hall on 300 west 250 south in SLC from 5:00 pm until dawn.
Opa!

Want to wish some Candle Breeze fans Happy Birthday this week;
Chelsea @ The Chunga Show, Tony Toscano, Cheri G., Mark W.,
Mike @ The Greek Market, Crystal, Micky D., and Zorro.
A BIG Happy Father’s Day to all of us Fathers!

Keep all those blog, email comments and Candle Breeze orders comming..

Cheers,

Deno
