No Power, No Problem: Hurricane Life in the Keys

Join us for No Power, No Problem, an unforgettable night of true tales, dark humor, and island resilience, hosted by legendary Conch and local historian Tony “Fats” Yaniz. From Hurricane Donna to Irma and everything in between, we’ll hear first-person accounts of what it’s like to ride out nature’s fury in the southernmost city—where survival is just as much about community as it is about prep.

Key West 1970s

Hosted by local legends Tony 'Fat' Yaniz and Richie Gomez This special evening brings together a lineup of Key West locals sharing what it was like to grow up in the Conch Republic. Key West—1970s—Key West was a ghost town, dogs sleeping on Duval Street. The navy left town. The main occupations were shrimping and smuggling—maybe one in the same.. 50 cent draft beer at Sloppy’s. Sex and rock and roll at the Bull. And the Full Moon was THE late night spot. You’d find a smuggler and a DEA agent buying one another rounds. One day you’d be on a bike with bent rims and the next tooling around in a Porche 911…don’t you wish you were there?
