Comments on: live music this weekend http://sticksoffire.com/2008/02/20/tampast-pete-to-do-this-weekend/ A very loose interpretation of the news and happenings in and around Tampa Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:40:43 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: drkptt http://sticksoffire.com/2008/02/20/tampast-pete-to-do-this-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-183803 drkptt Wed, 20 Feb 2008 23:29:24 +0000 http://sticksoffire.com/2008/02/20/tampast-pete-to-do-this-weekend/#comment-183803 I took some friends to Rubonia last year for the first time and they're doing exactly that--building their own mini-float. Check out the 'Parade Participation Information' at the link I gave to get an idea of the organizer's sense of humor. What is it about the crowd at a Lucero show? First time I saw them was at the State (and a week night, I think). The place was half-full, but the bar lines were as bad as any sold-out show. The crowd was wasted--there was a slow sort of mosh pit with about 20 people swaying with their arms around each other. One dude tripped and took about 8 more people to the ground. I almost went to my knees in laughter. I took some friends to Rubonia last year for the first time and they’re doing exactly that–building their own mini-float.
