First Photos From The New Year Of 2011 At Cowboy Bill's!

2011-01-29T20:07:00.001-08:00

We'd like to thank all of those sending in photos from our Sexy Bull Riding contests which were snapped on cellphones. Unfortunately, the cellphone photos just are not of high enough resolution and do not have proper lighting.

Lucky for us, a pro photographer, Josh of AJF Photography, is now on premises snapping photos. He is working on his website where everyone will be able to buy photos not only of the constests, but of people in the crowd, bands on stage, etc.

Here are some free snaps from Josh at AJF Photography from a recent, January 2011, Sexy Bull Riding Contest. Enjoy.

Reminder: Tonight Is The First of Two Cowboy Bill's Holiday Hayrides & Bar Crawl

2010-12-09T11:26:00.000-08:00

Hey gang,

If you're local or a tourist in town tonight, drop in to Cowboy Bill's Reloaded on the 400 block of Green Street (next to Captain Tony's) and grab one of the remaining seats on the hayride.

I'll be there with Bill selling tickets for $25. Bring one unwrapped toy for the kids. All money raised goes to the kids too.

The hayride goes throughout the island to look at Christmas lights and will stop at a few bars up in New Town. Also, don't forget the coolers of beer on the hayride (gratis) along with a few bottles of Jager.

Next Thursday night, December 16th, we do it again. Same start time at Cowboy Bill's Reloaded. That hayride has more sign ups and might sellout, so if you want to make sure you can get on board one of them, drop by Reloaded early tonight (between 6 and 6:30 PM).

"Too Big To Fail" by The Austin Lounge Lizards

2010-12-01T15:24:00.000-08:00

Here's a little bit of levity to get us ready for tonight's Sexy Bull Riding Contest:

If you ever come down here on Tuesday Night's for the free line dance lessons, you certainly have heard a humorous song called "I'm A Cowboy" by The Austin Lounge Lizards which our dance instructor, Jay Floyd, teaches a step to. Well, just released on the Comedy Cosmos Blogspot today is this new one from the The Austin Lounge Lizards called "Too Big To Fail".

As Comedy Cosmos Blogspot says, "Their newest song, "Too Big To Fail", offers not only some funny lyrics, but some apt social commentary of the times. Pass it on."

Military Thursday Even Bigger Than The Past! (Plus Some More Photos From A Recent Wednesday Night/Ladies Night)

2010-09-03T19:10:00.000-07:00

Howdy Folks,

It's time to tell you about the all NEW addition to our normal Military Thursday Night.

First of all, if you are military, show your military I.D. and receive 20% off all drinks and clothing. That has never changed and it will remain.

But what I am about to tell you is something which adds a whole lot of spice to Military Thursday Nights . . . BAM!!!

All night, Military Thursday Nights, for everybody . . . civilians included . . . we have the following specials:

$3.00 Well Drinks

Like Vodka & Soda? Bam - $3.00!
Like Gin & Tonic? Bam - $3.00!
Like Rum & Coke? Bam - $3.00

Name any normal well drink, and it's "Bam - $3.00!"

Inquiring minds must wonder, "Yeah, but what if I am a beer drinker. Got any specials for me?"

Okay, how about this:

$2.00 Longneck Domestic Bottles (12 oz.) All Night Long

Longneck Budweisters ? Bam - $2.00!
Longneck Bud Lights ? Bam - $2.00!
Longneck Mic Ultras? Bam - $2.00!
Longneck Miller Lites? Bam - $2.00!
Longneck Coors Lights? Bam - $2.00!

So, drink a six pack of your favorite domestics above and you only pay $12.00 on Thursday Nights? Crazy. (Be sure to tip your bartenders and waitresses, or Sister Mary Oliphant of the Church of the Perpetual Hangover will come around and whack you on the Pee-Pee!)

Be here on Military Thursday Nights and Experience The Miracle of Intoxication . . . Cheaply!

DJ/Emcee Reverend Rocko
Church of the Perpetual Hangover

p.s. For reading all of the above, of course, you get some more photos from a recent Wednesday Night/Ladies Night + Sexy Bull Riding Competition.

p.p.s People have emailed me recently at cowboybillskw@gmail.com and asked, "Rocko, can you make the photos on the blog bigger . . . like you used to post them?"

Answer: If you click on any photo once, it enlarges. If you click on any photo twice, it will fill up your monitor. The reason we've gone to this new format is for quicker uploads. In the old days, loading up bigger photos would take 15 minutes for 5 photos.

So, quit your bitching and start clicking. Twice.

This Sunday, Sep. 5th, Free Show With Rising Country Star . . . Andy Velo . . . Plus Some More Photos From A Recent Wednesday Night/Ladies Night

2010-09-02T18:17:00.000-07:00

Sunday Night, Sep. 5, 2010 Cowboy Bill's Honky Tonk Saloon will have a big showcase with new rising country star, Andy Velo.

Andy has been opening for Toby Keith all over the USA and is now about to release his first CD. Andy has created such a stir in Nashville, that Jim Beam's has signed up to sponsor him and his band. In fact, they are coming to Key West in a Jim Beam's tour bus.

The Andy Velo showcase will take place at night on the stage inside the Saloon Bar outdoors. The show begins at 10 PM.

There is no cover charge for the show. Remember, Monday is Labor Day and a Holiday for many of you! See you Sunday.

By the way, there is a NASCAR race Sunday in Atlanta. Green flag drops on TVs throughout the property at 7:30PM. All during the race, Jim Beam's drinks are only $5.00.

Here is an Andy Velo music video to give you an idea of what this country artist and his very young band sound like:

We can only follow something that wild with some wild photos of a recent Wednesday Night/Ladies Night . . . what do you say?

What Is Coming Up In September 2010 At Cowboy Bill's And In Key West

2010-08-28T19:23:00.001-07:00

Howdy Gang,

We're coming to the end of August (thankfully), the slowest month of our year in Key West.

Things are about to pick up in town, and it all begins next weekend, Labor Day Weekend with the following:

Sep. 3 through Sep. 5 - First ever Brew Fest in Key West. This event will bring 50 to 60 beer companies and micro-breweries to Key West in a "tasting" of their brews. The event will take place at the "upper" end of Duval and from what we understand, you buy an admission ticket and get to experience as many beers as you wish.

During the day, Friday and Saturday, Cowboy Bill's will open at 11 AM in the new Ms. Kitty's Bar (A/C, non-smoking, & plenty of sports on TV). Lunch and dinner will be served all day and until 12 midnight. Don't forget we have LIVE Entertainment on Ms. Kitty's stage throughout the day.

And then on Sunday Night, Sep. 5, 2010 Cowboy Bill's Honky Tonk Saloon will have a big showcase with new rising country star, Andy Velo.

Andy has been opening for Toby Keith all over the USA and is now about to release his first CD. Andy has created such a stir in Nashville, that Jim Beam's has signed up to sponsor him and his band. In fact, they are coming to Key West in a Jim Beam's tour bus.

The Andy Velo showcase will take place at night on the stage inside the Saloon Bar outdoors. The show begins at 10 PM.

Here is an Andy Velo music video to give you an idea of what this country artist and his very young band sound like:

The week following Labor Day Weekend we have two events hitting Key West at the same time:

September 7 through September 12 - Women's Fest
For the third year in a row, by overwhelming popular demand, Jennifer Corday and the Country Cougars from California will be playing at Cowboy Bill's.

Corday and her "Redneck Lesbos" will be playing our main stage outdoors in the Saloon Bar on Thursday the 8th. Showtime is 10 PM, and the wild galz will be playing 'til 2AM. The same night we will be having another one our Women's Fest Bull Riding Contest.

On Saturday the 11th from 10PM til 2 AM, Corday and her Country Cougars will be playing for Cowboy Bill's "Tickled Pink Dance Party". There will be a Bull Riding Competition on Saturday night as well.

Corday is so popular with the crowd she and her gang will also play two daytime slots indoors on Ms. Kitty's stage. These two shows will take place Friday and Sunday (September 10th and September 12th) from 6PM to 9PM.

By the way here is Corday singing her hit "Redneck Lesbo":

Poker Run/Bike Week Sep. 16th - Sep. 19th, 2010

Ask anyone who has ever been to Poker Run/Bike Week in Key West . . . it is the most fun motorcycle extravaganza in the USA.

And this year, Cowboy Bill's plays an intregal part in Poker Run 2010:

Thusday, September 16th, we have a Biker Babe Burlesque starting on our main stage at 9:30 PM.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th we will have our regular Biker Babe Sexy Bull Riding Competition.

And Saturday night, for the first time ever, Cowboy Bill's will host the final hand of Texas Holdum for the Peterson's Poker Run where the winer will receive a 2010 Harley Davidson 883 Sportser.

Click here for details on how to enter the Peterson's Key West Poker Run 2010.

Here are a couple videos from past Poker Run's in 2007 and 2009 to give you an idea of what the town looks like during this event. And by the way, this year, like last year, the Police Department will close down Duval Street from the 100 block through the 600 block . . . meaning you can park your bikes right out in front of Cowboy Bill's and not get ticketed!

Hope to see you here for one of the above events!

Yo Gang,

Thanks for all the kind words and condolences you've been sending me about my recently passed dad. The flowers many of you sent to his funeral really meant a lot to me and my family.

That said, it's great to be back in Key West.

Tonight's contest was a little skint on contestants and money donated from the audience; however, we still have a damn good sized crowd holding over after the contest and Chas Blakemore and the Moonshine Outlaws are burning up the stage and will play all the way to 2:00 AM . . . and very possibly be asked to play a fifth set we are so crowded.

Here are the results from tonight's contest:

A beuatiful young blonde #4, Aubrey, stripped down to her Victoria's Secret undies (matching red pair) and wowed the crowd with her awesome looks and body. She won first place prize money of $470.00, plus a gift certificate from Eat-N-Grin Deli and a photo shoot form Southernmost Photography.

Second place tie was between Karla (#5 - the smoking hot blonde with the Mohawk, and a pair as big as Wendy-O of the Plasmatics) and a gorgeous lithe and lean raven hair sex machine by the name of Julie (#8). These two beauties each received scooter rentals from Sunshine Rentals, gift certificates from Cowboy Bill's, photo shoots from Southernmost Photography and Eat-N-Grin Deli gift certificates.

For a while, it looked as though we might not even break $300 in cash donations. But then, friends such as Rick from Liquid 8 Pawn Shop came through with $50 and US military branches brought us some bucks.

Here are the donations from the crowd, every penny of which went to first place prize winner Aubrey:

Donations from Businesses and Individuals

Cowboy Bill's Honky Tonk Saloon - $200
Rick of Liquid 8 Pawn Shop at 1018 Truman Ave. - $50
Ryan's Imaginary Girlfriend - $30
Commercial Fishmermen of the Florida Keys - $20

Donation in the name of Aubrey #4 who won - $10

US Navy - $28
US Air Force - $10
Special Air Services - $10

Colleges

As always, we thank you folks who donated money for prize money. As I always say, the more money we collect, the more women join us in the contest and the wilder the contest gets.

Look for new posts with crowd photos and Sexy Bull Riding Photos coming soon.

May 20th, 2010 - Thursday Night's "Jack Daniel's Men's Bull Riding Contest" - Results

2010-05-20T21:15:00.000-07:00

So good to have had you Locals come in and support the guys tonight.

For the second "Jack Daniel's Men's Bull Riding Contest" in a row, we had a full contingent of 20 guys sign up for the contest. We actually had more guys wanting to get in the contest, but as I explain every week for the Ladies' Night Sexy Bull Riding, we are constrained by time. So when we yell "Only 20 contestants will be allowed to sign up for this contest," we mean it.

A guy by the name of Louis won this sucker in the 3rd round at a Level 4.

Louis won $200 cash for winning 1st place!

We were hoping one of the 5 other semi-finalists who made it into the 3rd round would qualify for a 4th round. But it wasn't to happen. The other five either fell off early (before 8 seconds elapsed) or touched the bull with their off hand.

Well, we had to have a run off for second place. What we told the 5 riders was, "The guy who stays on longest will win second place."

Of these 5 guys, Antonio and Dave each lasted 8 seconds. So we had to increase the bull one more level for a ride off between them. At the new speed, both guys stayed on for 3 seconds. So instead of having another ride off, we simply gave the following prices to a tie for second place:

Antonio - $25 Cowboy Bill's Gift Certificate + Jack Daniel's pint shaker glass

Dave - $25 Cowboy Bill's Gift Certificate + Jack Daniel's pint shaker glass

We want to thank all 20 guys for making this another great contest. We thank Jack Daniel's for their support. And we especially thank the crowd who yelled encouragement and gave loud applause for all 20 riders.

Remember, every 3rd Thursday of every month, we hold this Jack Daniel's Men's Bull Riding Contest. And if these past two contests are any indication, this contest is now established as a crowd pleaser with a decent sized and growing crowd every time we have it.

Hope to see you here for one of these Men's Bull Riding Contests.

Congrats to Megan who took 1st place honors!

Second place tie went to Danielle and Sarah!

Out of 20 riders, about half went topless and got into the spirit of Key West's favorite Ladies Night here at Cowboy Bill's.

Oh, and one last reminder: tonight, Thursday, is the 3rd Thursday of the month. Which means we have another Jack Daniel's Men's Bull Riding Contest with a $200 first place prize. Remember, this contest is won by the last man on the bull at the highest speed for a full 8 seconds.

Spring Break Notes on Bands and Sexy Bull Riding Contests

2010-03-03T16:04:00.000-08:00

Hey gang,

This week begins our crazy month of March - Spring Break Madness.

The band for this week is Shurman, from Austin, Texas. They are the most alternative country sounding band to have ever worked our stage, and this is their third year at Cowboy Bill's.

After Shurman comes two weeks of Chas Blakemore, two weeks of Chad Bradford, followed by two weeks of Rick Monroe. (Rick, sorry you aren't going to be here for any of the Spring Break Madness, but you will be here during the Sailfish Tournament week . . . which is huge.)

Along with Spring Break comes a bevy of beautiful young cowgirls. As we've done the past two years, we will run 3 to 4 nights of Sexy Bull Riding Contests, starting with this coming Sunday, March 7th. We will attempt to run constests Sunday through Thursday this year (5 nights), depending on how many ladies are ready to ride by 11:30 PM nightly. But I will be happy to get 3 or 4 contests up and running out of the 5 nights available.

If I remember correctly, the second (next week) and third weeks of Spring Break we had no problem running 3 or 4 contests weekly. So, if you are regular, continue to dial up http://www.cowboybillskw.com/ and watch our "Bull Cam" for the world's greatest Sexy Bull Riding Contests.

See you tonight. (At least you'll hear my voice.)

And by the way, for those of you at home wanting a shout out during the contest, try to hit me early, say around 9 - 11 PM. The correct email address is cowboybillskw@gmail.com . When you ping me early, I can write down your names and get everything in order. As you know, with the big prize money we raise these days, the crazier it gets in the DJ Booth. It really is stressful, crazy and fun all at the same time, and I'd never be able to do it without the managers and owners who help out by taking the donations of cash from members of our audience. Hence, I've been a tad slack on the reading of email dedications and shouts out, but, now that we've gotten organized in the accounting department, I can get back to giving out of town shouts out.

Without Irene, Casey and Timmy to account for the donations, this contest would not be as big and wild as it is today, so, a big hearty shout out to the three people at Cowboy Bill's who make it happen in the "Prize Department."

By the way, if you come in tonight, expect a stellar show. A friend of mine tells me he has several "English" gals in town who want a shot at the big money.

Blimey, pip pip, tallyho, and away I go to work.

2010-01-08T22:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Friends,

We must give a big shout out of thanks to "GM John" who sent us these incredible photographs of this past Fantasy Fest 2009 at Cowboy Bill's Honky Tonk Saloon Key West.

This particular series . . . and three more parts . . . are of the 3rd Annual Fantasy Fest Sexy Bull Riding Contest held on Wednesday of Fantasy Fest week.

This contest raised the most money ever for a Sexy Bull Riding Contest. We collected so much money from the audience, we upped the prize money for second and third place:

First place prize money was $2,200 cash + an assortment of prizes such as gift certificates from Cowboy Bill's, Eat-N-Grin Deli, Key West Original Ghost Tour and more.

Second and third place each received $365 cash + scooter rentals from Sunshine Rentals, gift certificates from Cowboy Bill's and Eat-N-Grin Deli, plus tickets to the Key West Original Ghost Tour.

First, second and third place winners also won professional photo shoots from Tyler Scott Fotographia and Southernmost Photograph, and each of these photo shoots were worth $500.

This was the first Fantasy Fest Sexy Bull Riding Contest with a V.I.P. area. We sold it out days before the contest. There were 25 spots at $60 each. These 25 people had the best seats in the house, their own open bar with bartender, and, the beautiful ladies you are about to view from the contest were inches away from the V.I.P area.

This coming year, tickets for the V.I.P. area for the 4th Annual Fantasy Fest Sexy Bull Riding Contest will go on sale on October 1st at http://www.keystix.com/. We are going to try and erect a new viewing area which will accommodate more people.

When you see these first photos from this year's contest, you will understand why the Annual Fantasy Fest Sexy Bull Riding Contest is always a sellout.

Good luck in getting here this year!

Tonight's first ever "Jim Beam's Red Stag Sexy Bullriding Contest" went off the charts!

First place prize was $2,039 (after last second donations) plus a bracelet from Capricorn Jewelry worth $149.

Second and Third place prize winners each received $250, plus scooter rentals from Sunshine Rental, tickets to the Key West Original Ghost Tour, and gift tickets from Cowboy Bill's.

This was our biggest prize money for all time.

Tomorrow, we hope to present a pro video mix of what you people at home could not see via the usual Web Cam. We are talking 5 cameras, video mixed, etc., and we hope to report back here with the video link.

Thank you all for the donations who were here. . . and do not forget, anything above $100 donated gets you into a new set of links on the left side margin of this blog. Promise!

Tomorrow Night, Wednesday, 1st Ever Jim Beam's Red Stag "Sexy Bull Riding Contest" , , , Advance Tix at www.keystix.com for $10, and $15 at the door

2009-10-27T21:31:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, weather permitting, we have a Sexy Bull Riding
Contest every single Wednesday of the year.

At the beginning of this past Summer, the prize money used to still be $200 for first place. In fact, if you look at the opening page of our website we are still advertising $200 as the first place prize (look at the paragraph underneath our button for the Bull Cam), when in actuality, we've grown the weekly prize money to prizes ranging from $900 to $1,500.

This Wednesday Night, October 28th, we are going to have the first Jim Beam's Red Stag Sexy Bull Riding Contest in our history. In honor, we and Jim Beam's sold V.I.P. tickets at $50 per head for an area on our porch which has the best viewing of the contest and which allowed the purchaser rights to an "open bar" (which we built yesterday) during the contest.

We sold out the V.I.P. tickets last week.

Another difference with this contest: whereas on a normal Wednesday we start with a $300 cash pot and start taking donations for the prize money, this Wednesday, we will be starting with $1,220. (Thank you Jim Beam's, Sunshine Rental and Eat N' Grin Deli). This means tonight's prize money is certain to set an all time record.

Ladies, only 20 of you can sign up. Get here early (doors open at 7 PM) and remember, in this contest you can wear a mask, body paint, costume, you name it. What you do to interpret the word "Sexy" is, as always, up to your imagination.

This summer was brutal for most bar's and businesses in Key West. Cowboy Bill's, however, was still packing in the people for our usual Wednesday Night Sexy Bull Riding Contests.

I'd like to thank John from Michigan (he's got 5 V.I.P. tix for the first Jim Beam's Red Stag Sexy Bull Riding Contest) for giving me a CD-Rom with these photos from late Spring or early Summer. I'm passing them on now to get everybody ready for the biggest Sexy Bull Riding Contest of all time.

Enjoy!

"So", you ask, "What was Fantasy Fest like last year at Cowboy Bill's?"

SHANE THOMAS BACK AT COWBOY BILL'S

Cowboy Bill's is pleased to welcome back the Shane Thomas Band for a Columbus Day Weekend of great live music. The band will perform shows this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm. Next week the band will be playing Wednesday through Saturday.

Shane Thomas has been entertaining big crowds since his teens but his career took off in 2005 after moving to Nashville. The Kentucky native began using the Music City as his base and building his resume by playing the infamous watering holes of country music. Gigs at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, the Wildhorse Saloon and the Cadilac Ranch put the singer on the fast track. Thomas networked with a number of Nashville's singer/songwriters, developing friendships and collaborations with a host of talented musicians. His band's 2007/2008 tour crisscrossed America with a highlight of playing with Toby Keith at the Fiesta Bowl.

Thomas and his band have been steadily building their resume, opening shows for John Michael Montgomery, Little Big Town, Andy Griggs, and Aaron Tippin. Catch this rising star at Cowboy Bill's all weekend. For more information contact 305 295-8219.

FANTASY FEST

For Fantasy Fest Cowboy Bill's welcomes back Alabama native Chad Bradford and the Damn Band. The band will be playing a 10 night gig starting on October 20th. The highlight of their stand will be playing on the Cowboy Bill's Fantasy Fest float before more than 100,000 people.

After a brief break to recharge, Bradford and the band have been out performing non-stop in support of their latest album. The single "He Still Draws Them Together" peaked at number 39 on the Music Row charts.

Reviewers comment that Bradford sings with an "honest voice that boils over with rustic experience and grit." His distinctive style is influenced by the Muscle Shoals R & B sound, his gospel roots and his love of country rock. His years on the road have forged have created a dynamic stage presence which has received considerable attention from Nashville's movers and shakers. His music has been recently featured on the hit TV show "Girl Meets Cowboy".

Big TV and Ad Shoot Friday!Welcome Bikers! Fri & Sat Nights This Weekend, Sep. 18 & 19, At Midnight....Biker Babe Sexy Bull Riding Contests!!!

2009-09-17T19:38:00.000-07:00

Yeppers,

This past Wednesday was a night where tumbleweeds were blowing up and down Duval . . . except for this here country bar where we had another capacity crowd for a Ladies Night/Sexy Bull Riding Contest.

The first place winner last night won $1,025 cash. She also receieved two tickets to the Key West Original Ghost Tour. And she won not one, but TWO photo shoots with two professional photographers, one of whom is Danny from Southernmost Photography (who shoots in house photos nightly for Cowboy Bills).

Second and thrid place winners each received the following last night: a crisp $100 bill, free scooter rentals from Sunshine Rental, two tickets to the Key West Original Ghost Tour, gift certificates from Cowboy Bills which could be used for beverages or anything in the new T-Shirt Shop. Lastly, they both received free photo shoots from Southernmost Photography.

I'm telling you about last night, because, Ladies, tomorrow night and Saturday are going to be off the tracks crazy with all the bikers who have loads of money they'll be putting up for cash prizes. I predict the largest cash prize ever for First Place winners on Friday and Saturday.

Now, tomorrow night, Friday, a Miami Cable TV Show will be in here shooting footage for their programming. Not only that, but the same crew will be shooting footage for the all new (and first ever) Cowboy Bill's TV commercial which will show on cable affiliates such as CNN, CNBC, etc., throughout the day.

These ads will run 24/7 . . . and if you are here tomorrow, you might be immortal as these ads run in perpetuity.

Hope to see you here this weekend . . . and by the way, I'm writing this Thursday Night at the club. Our new band, Michael D. Band is kicking ass. Keven, ex-lead guitar player for Scarekrow is in this band. 'Nuff said!

Be here.

We thank "Jeanette" for sending us 5 digital photos of last Sunday's Bar Wars in which Cowboy Bill's placed 2nd out of all the times.

As my camera is still not functional (it is being fixed) I ask any of you with photos of this event to send them to me at cowboybillskw@gmail.com and I'll be sure to post them.

Speaking of my camera, I bought a new flash attachment thinking it would work in place of the broken built in flash. (I have been wanting to step up to a professional flash attachment for some time.)

Anyhoo, that flash attachment does not work with the camera, so obviously something "in board" with the camera was broken. Hence, I sent it off to the manufacturer. Which means, I am still posting "old" photos and photos which you people submit.

So, if you folks have any digital photos for us, send them to me at cowboybillskw@gmail.com.

Thanks, and for all of you still asking me about DVDs of the Sexy Bull Riding Contests, we're working on it.

Again, thank you Jeanette for contributing these five photos to the Cowboy Bill's Blog.

p.s. There are some more photos, great photos, of all the teams in last Sunday's 16th Annual Battle of the Bars. Just click here and when you're on the opening page, just click the button which says "Next" to see the next page of photos.

There are many shots of Cowboy Bill, R.D., and our staff which made up our two teams: Cowboy Bill's and Cowboy Bill's Reloaded.
