Juan Carlos the Montrose Rollerblade Dancer Rolls into the National Spotlight
On July 24th, MKT BAR hosted a viewing party with Juan Carlos, the Montrose Rollerblade Dancer (MRBD), in attendance, sporting a skin-tight bedazzled bodysuit. Fans young and old lined up to take selfies and pose with our beloved rollerdancer, who happily signed autographs and gave them hugs & kisses, thanking them for their support. After the show, Juan Carlos performed a dance to the title track of James Bond's "Goldfinger," wowing the crowd with his dazzling, dramatic moves. Cake and MRBD signature mojitos were shared with friends and fans and everyone signed a WE LOVE U, THE #JUANANDONLY banner by GONZO247.
The ZC team booked the now-world-famous Montrose Rollerblade Dancer Juan Carlos last year to perform at Phoenicia's 30th Anniversary Grocery Get Down. He danced his way through the downtown market with surprise appearances during Anniversary Week, and wowed admirers with an exclusive performance at Discovery Green.
Since then, Juan Carlos auditioned for America's Got Talent, winning the hearts of America and the majority of the judges, gaining the chance to move on to the next round, and earning AGT judge Howie Mandel's praise as "The Juan and only!" Howard Stern was not so impressed, but after a crowd-pleasing 10-pose challenge, warmed up to Juan Carlos and gave him props for that.
We're anxiously awaiting the next viewing party at MKT BAR, TBA in July. Stay tuned!
See the party pics by Phoenicia's Doris Ting and the CultureMap recap.

Asia Society Texas Center Grand Prix Event Recap
We had a blast last Wednesday with Asia Society Texas Center (ASTC) and Filipino Young Professionals of Houston (FYP Houston) at the Grand Prix Kick-Off Party hosted at OKRA Charity Saloon. ASTC is one of the non-profit finalists competing to win 100 percent of OKRA's proceeds during the month of June 2014. Special guest Filipina-American Michele Bumgarner (who raced in this past weekend's Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston) hung out and charmed fans while signing autographs and posing for photos. Guests ooh'd and ahh'd over Made From Scratch macarons and toasted to good conversation using limited-edition, international "Cheers" koozies provided by ASTC. Check out the CultureMap recap and FYP Houston's fan page for party pics.
You can also catch Michele in this TV interview with FOX Houston's Rita Garcia on Asian Connection.
