The 2009 Year of the Goose Celebration and Grey Goose Cocktail Competition will be back, bigger and better than ever. Blu Sushi and Gulf Coast Town Center will host this event that is a pre-season celebration for SW Florida Hospitality Industry Professionals. The H.I.P. & In the Biz Party is held annually on a Monday, this year January 12, so that more industry professionals can make this great party. This year the entertainment will be outstanding all night long...as the party starts at 7 PM with the most entertaining party band in the land, The Geek Sqwad. But the party will kick hard and late as BluSushi celebrates 'BIGG 4 JOHN' which is the 4th Anniversary of DJ John Scott as Blu's top spin.
