live music, old furniture, dirty art

This weekend I have BIG plans. On Friday, Cowhead presents the Rockers, Racks, and Rejects show. My friend of 20+ years and I are going to see this concert where the Greg Billings Band (formerly Stranger) opens for Bret Michaels at Ruth Eckerd Hall Friday night. This is very exciting for me for two reasons. (1) We are huge fans of Poison and go to their concert every year, but this is the first time we get to see Bret’s solo act. (2) We grew up listening to local band Stranger (and JGLB, Stormbringer and many more) and I’m excited to see them locally on a big stage! I hear there are a few tickets left (just for the record I bought mine, I did not win them)! If you can make it out to Clearwater, I believe you will have a great time!

Now for the rest of the weekend… I have found a few things to do around town and here are the ones I’m going to try and catch.

If I can get up early enough from my wild night out, I’m going to try and run by the H. B. Plant Museum to have a few pieces evaluated. I have a few pieces that came from my grandma but I’m not sure if they are worth anything at all. This seems like a good place to start.

2 Feb. Saturday – Antique Evaluation – 1030am-Noon at the Henry B. Plant Museum 401 W Kennedy Blvd. Tampa. Bring your favorite treasures to be evaluated by one of our experts for $5 an item with a limit of four items.

I looked this event up at http://thehobbyshophero.blogspot.com and decided I’m to old for this, but it looks like something fun and interesting, so the hell with it I may go! Go look for yourself and see if you are game or not!

2 Feb. Saturday – Dirty But Sophisticated – 10pm at the Czar 1420 East 7th Ave. Tampa. Art, sound, fashion and more. www.myspace.com/dirtybutsophisticated4

I really cannot find anything around town that piques my interest for Sunday so I’m leaving that blank. It might also have something to do with the biggest NFL game of the year being broadcast, but that is just me! I will be home Sunday watching all the hoopla so be safe and enjoy your weekend!
