Holy crap 10 days since my last update, does this count as another “mini-vaca” as some people like to put it? Haha. Not a chance, I keep it moving. Typically this time of year I am busy planning a crazy Memorial Weekend Party or pre-planning just how much complaining about the heat and summer time that I will be doing. I own a chain of six indoor tanning salons in a state that is full of sun, clear skies and 90+ temperatures in the summer, you can’t possibly expect me to enjoy summer. 
Instead of filling this post with a list of the 800 things I am behind on posting about here on Extreme John.com I will be using my time a little more wisely, I intend to get down to sharing the pictures below and then moving on to write another post.
Those of you that subscribe to my blog and read on a daily basis know that I like to stay active on social media and social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and of course through my Facebook Fan Page. If you connect with me or just follow me on Twitter @extremejohn chances are you have seen me tweet and share pictures of all kinds of exciting things, spray tan video shoots, TV commercial shoots, nights out with Insane Limos, and even pictures of my ugly looking English Bulldogs. Today I wanted to share the pictures that I tweeted and shared on Facebook during the Extreme Tan and Smoothies 6th Birthday Bash back on May 15th, enjoy and don’t forget to leave a comment
Extreme Tan and Smoothies 6th Birthday Pictures
I snapped this picture of B and me as we sat one of the many forever lights in Florida.
As my son and I pulled up to the Pinellas Park tanning salon (727-546-2660) location I decided to snap this picture of the roadside sign, almost two years later and we finally have some neighbors now.
Each of the six Extreme Tan and Smoothies locations had some kind of special event or appearance to celebrate the sixth birthday of Extreme, this is a picture of “Ty” a Siberian Tiger that we had Wildlife Rescue bring out to our Pinellas Park tanning salon. Extreme Tan and Smoothies has been showing support for Wildlife Rescue ever since Safari Dave of Pet Safari introduced me to Vern, not to mention Ty is just so sweet looking
Ty gets ready to get comfy for all the pictures he will be in.
Wildlife Rescue was also nice enough to bring out this Burmese Python that the princess was brave enough to hold.
Lacie pauses for a quick picture with snake as well.
Just before the party ended at the Pinellas Park Extreme Tan and Smoothies a Siberian tiger cub stopped by for a quick visit.
D.J Knowbody provided the tunes at our Clearwater tanning salon location.
Stephanie, Jessica and Caitlin provided the amazing customer service at our Clearwater tanning salon 727-449-2660.
Sheldon Blake hooked up the stilts and comedy (added bonus) haha, at our North Clearwater tanning salon 727-723-2660. I wish that I was able to stay longer because I heard through the grapevine that Sheldon was giving piggy back rides to the girls, while he was on stilts. That’s sick.
Somehow I screwed up the time for Mark “The Balloon Guy” and ended up missing Mark do his thing while he was at our North Clearwater salon as well, Mark is BY FAR the balloon master.
Berry Merry came out to where it all started for Extreme Tan and Smoothies, our Largo tanning salon (727-593-0994) and hooked up the kiddies with balloons and of course face painting
DJ F.B.I provided the vibe at our St. Pete tanning salon for our very first “Neighborhood Cookout”, and it was a blast!
Big thanks to Kristian for handling the grill and Kristen for picking up all the fine eats
Michelle from Insane Limos provided some additional advertising with the “I Tan Naked” banner. This caused some drama btw as the police came to break up the pink limo fun by making it move from it’s illegally parked location on the corner of the street, special thanks to the officers for not writing a ticket
Jim from Insane Limos also had “Andre” our monster Ford F-650 limo at our Largo tanning salon and Seminole tanning salon locations for pictures with the kids.
Special thanks to our loyal customers for coming out to support us for our 6th birthday bash, and of course to our associates and the performers for making the event another very special one. Big thanks to my boy Craze (DJ Chris Craze) for getting me hooked up with DJ F.B.I and DJ Knowbody for the event and to Mark “The Balloon Guy” for setting up Sheldon Blake and Berry Merry at the last minute.
P.s. I used Ping.fm in conjunction with the “AnyPost” app for Droid to share these pictures across all of my social networks while I was running from tanning salon to tanning salon.

Nice family pics… The picture of the burgers on the grill made my belly growl just like that tiger probably. Have fun.

Holy – that seems like an amazingly busy day, with so, so much going on.I gotta say the balloon guy’s work is very impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen balloons crafted into something that detailed.
