The Kevin Vargas Story

Name: Kevin Vargas (email me)

You Can Listen To Me: Weekday Afternoons 4pm-7pm

Birthdate: September 11th

Birthplace: Just outside of Wrigleyville

Ambitions: To see the world through its beers

5 Hockey flicks you MUST see:
1) Le Boys - A French Canadian movie about Beer League hockey.
2) Le Boys II - see above.
3) Le Boys III - do I even have to say it?
4) Slap Shot - But don't give me no stinking Root Beer while I'm watching.
5) Mystery Alaska - who hasn't wanted to say, "It's my Zamboni.

5 Baseball flicks you MUST see:
1) Damn Yankees - Yeah, it's a musical, but it's way fun and the YANKEES LOSE!
2) Field Of Dreams - If you build it, they will come. Are ya listening Marlins?!?
3) It Happens Every Spring - the odds you have heard of this are the same as this year Marlins winning the World Series. Old BW worth seeking out!
4) The Sandlot - This was the story of any one who was ever a kid who loved baseball.
5) Bull Durham - I breathe through my eyelids every time I'm on the air.

Favorite South Florida Beach: Haulover! It's the place dancers go to avoid tan lines! However, be forewarned, they are few and far between. The majority of the people on this beach are not the beautiful people. Lots of flabby men with & pelts and those looking for a few-good-men (and I'm not talking about an Army recruiter.) But when you do see that one stripper with the heart of gold (and tan to match)...schwing!

My Philosophy: Carpe Diem or carpet fresh or crap a day, depending on the moment.

My Fantasy: To see the Chicago Cubs win the World Series before I die!

My disease I'd like to spread: I'm a Tikiphile. My wife and I seek out Tiki bars worldwide to enjoy the ambience and pleasure such indulgences bring. We've got some pretty Tikified places right here in South Florida. I HIGHLY recommend the making the effort. Experiencing the cultural phenomenon of all American kitsch is an honorable pursuit. If more people were Tikified we'd have a lot less crime in the world. It's just hard to be a dick in that state of mind.

Favorite Bands: Godsmack, Metallica, Korn, Nickelback, Tea Party, Type O-Negative, Nightwish, Rush, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper, Burning Spear, Robert Johnson, Son House, Barbecue Bob, and just about anything not mentioned here that falls under the categories of "Pre-War Country Blues" or "Goth-Industrial."

Favorite Dish: The Mandarin Pressed Duck at the Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale.

Coolest thing I've done as a jock: Broke bread with major rock stars in casual settings (THAT'S where you find out who's really cool and who's really an asshole)

If I was rich, I'd... Create a scholarship program for exotic dancers to go to school and learn how to do it right. Nothing kills the Gentlemen's Club experience as quick as bad dancers.
