I am/was friends with the owner of the pink pony from the 80's early 90's, and he used to hang out on the deck often, have a few shirts autographed by him and yes could drink

Here's my CSB and subtle brag.

I used to love going to the Pink Pony pub and the old Margaritaville in Gulf Shores. I saw him at those places a few times but never met him.



I dead meet him in the early 90s at the keg in Orange Beach. It was late one night after a trip to the FloraBama. He bought my friends and I a few rounds of drinks and talked with us about football for a while. He was pretty damn cool and funny.

My family bought the lot next door to his old house on Ono a long time ago but never build a house, still have the lot though. I had planned that if we built a house, that while visiting, if I ever saw him outside I would grab the football and throw it over in his yard to see what kind of reaction I would get.
