We spend a lot of our lives waiting for stuff. Usually, it’s a lot of aggravation for little reward. But sometimes, the wait is worth it. It is my intention to highlight something that qualifies as worth the wait in Tampa Bay each week… It seems like every town, regardless of size, has at least a [...]
Between the decline in popularity of traditional so-called “terrestrial” radio stations, the abundant availability of music online, and changes in the public’s individual tastes, the recording industry as we know it is quickly becoming extinct. Understandably, many people within that industry – artists as well as executives – are very nervous while they wait to [...]
Eastern Hillsborough County keeps getting more and more interesting. Finally got myself out the Sunday Market at the Wat Mongkolratanaram Thai Temple in Palm River (5306 Palm River Road, just off 50th Street). It’s like taking a day trip to Thailand. The people are friendly, the temple is stunning and exotic and the shady grounds [...]
As many of you know, I’m the lead singer in a wonderful rock ‘n’ roll band. Check out our website at JGLB.net A couple of these gigs were set up at the last minute, so in case you are wondering, here is where you can find the JGLB this weekend: Friday Blues Ship on Top 1910 E. 7th [...]
If you’re looking for something a bit different to do over the next week, I highly recommend taking in the Young Dramatists’ Project at the Gorilla Theatre. It consists of five short plays written by local teenagers and directed by some of the area’s best local theater professionals, including David O’Hara, Ami Sallee Corley and [...]
The Tampa Bay Derby Darlins are at it again. Having captured the inaugural Florida State Championship in February, the Switchblade Sisters, Vicegrip Vixens and Cigar City Mafia have begun their regular season schedule for the 2008-09 season. I’ve talked about my love for the roller derby and the Darlins before, but it bears repeating that [...]
Like most of my friends and co-workers, my family and I are feeling the pain of rising gas prices, higher grocery bills and not to forget the utilities constantly going up. I have always been one to clip coupons, sign up for contests, and I shop at the local consignment shops; but now that is [...]
I have put it off long enough. The SecondGrader comes home this weekend and has already asked if we are going to actually do the spring cleaning list that has been posted on the refrigerator for about a month. "Yes we are," I told her, and she is very excited. Ha! She is so young! So I [...]
This weekend is going to be good, I can feel it already! Friday night I’m heading out to listen to the JGLB, I really don’t go see my husband’s band as often as I should! They are playing in Clearwater on Friday night at Two Buks (the self-proclaimed rockingest bar in Pinellas !!), if you [...]
