Apparently, turning 50 did not make me sit down.

It made me louder, happier, busier and just a little more fabulous.

This Thursday, September 17, I’m stepping back onto the stage at La Catrina Cantina for a special Neo-Soul Daddy pop-up show—and BurritoX is proudly sponsoring the entire evening.

Yes, we are serving soul on Thursday and burritos on Saturday. That is what I call proper planning.

The Neo-Soul Daddy Is Still on the Clock

The birthday celebration continues Thursday night with live music, dancing, foolishness, hugs and enough grown-folks soul to remind everybody that good music is very much alive in Puerto Vallarta.

I’ll be taking over the 8:00 PM hour with a special pop-up performance featuring music I love, a few surprises and whatever happens once the Neo-Soul Daddy gets a microphone in his hand.

The full Soul Night lineup includes:

  • 5:00 PM — The Soulful Mixer
  • 6:00 PM — Shannon Maracle
  • 7:00 PM — Kim Archer
  • 8:00 PM — Will Walker: Neo-Soul Daddy Pop-Up Show
  • 9:00 PM — Luis Villanueva Open Mic

The celebration takes place at La Catrina Cantina, located at Lázaro Cárdenas 315B, second floor, in Zona Romántica.

Entry is free.

Come sing. Come dance. Come laugh. Come celebrate life with me. I’m 50, fabulous and still refusing to behave appropriately—and honestly, why would I start now?

Will Is Proudly Sponsored by BurritoX

This special Soul Night pop-up is proudly sponsored by BurritoX, the newest food spot getting ready to open in Zona Romántica.

BurritoX is not simply putting its name at the bottom of a flyer and calling it sponsorship. The business is supporting local live entertainment, helping keep Puerto Vallarta’s creative community visible and joining a neighborhood where music, food, nightlife and personality all live within a few blocks of one another.

That matters.

Puerto Vallarta works best when its local businesses support its local performers, venues and community events. BurritoX is stepping into that role before the doors officially open—and I am proud to have the brand behind this show.

The concept is simple: satisfying food, straightforward ordering and flavors made for people who want something good without turning lunch into a committee meeting.

The menu includes burritos, bowls, salads, quesadillas and chilaquiles, with customizable options that let you build a meal the way you actually want it.

No foolishness. Unless, of course, I happen to be there.

The Celebration Continues Saturday at BurritoX

Once Thursday night’s music ends, the celebration moves a few blocks down Lázaro Cárdenas for the official BurritoX grand opening.

BurritoX opens Saturday, September 19, at 10:00 AM inside Plaza Romy at Lázaro Cárdenas 245 in Zona Romántica.

This is your invitation to come through, check out the new location, order something good and support a new neighborhood business from its very first day.

One Weekend. Two Reasons to Come Outside.

Thursday night, meet me at La Catrina Cantina for live Puerto Vallarta music, dancing and another round of birthday foolishness.

Saturday morning, meet me at BurritoX for the grand opening.

We are celebrating music. We are celebrating a new business. We are celebrating Zona Romántica. And yes, we are still celebrating the fact that the Neo-Soul Daddy turned 50 and somehow became even more determined to do the absolute most.

Fifty is looking pretty damn good from where I’m standing.

See you Thursday at La Catrina—and Saturday at BurritoX.
