did anyone see the word goombay on the national spelling bee finals. I was so happy for the grove to get a little shout out. Incidently the kid spelled it right.
There didn't seem to be anybody from the Goombay at Bice Bistro tonight.
I went there to do a preview on the festival for NBCMiami.com. I was hoping to do some interviews.
The host didn't have a clue nor the manager had a clue that any function was supposed to take place tonight.
I was there at 5:45 pm. I walked around and there was still nobody there at 6:10 pm
