Jon Secada and Valentine’s Day go together like Lindsay Lohan and vodka. Joking aside, this romantic pairing is taking place tomorrow night in Sarasota from the Chill Lounge group. If you’ve never experienced one of the Chill Lounge events, you are in for a treat. Imagine chic patio
Ready, set, GLOW!
I’ve been to DayGlo, LaneGlow Bowling, glow stick parties, and music festivals. I’ve painted my body in neon paint, highlighter markers, and danced with black light bracelets. But THIS… this is a new one for me. You want me to run a 5k with glow paint? Get healthy
St. Pete’s First Night Epic New Year’s Eve Celebration
For 20 years, First Night has been electrifying the streets of Downtown St. Pete with its NYE party. This year’s 20-year anniversary promises to be even bigger and better than ever with live music, kid’s activities, temporary tattoos and a skating rink. And since the non-profit First Night
Looking For Music For the End of the World
If the Mayan apocalypse is going down tomorrow, then let’s hope it happens late. Two nihilistic, “End of the World” rock concerts are scheduled for Friday night, December 21, and I think everyone would agree with me when I say: Let’s hope that the shows happen. The world’s

While I consider the window displays lining the upper level of International Plaza to be an art form, I’ll bet they don’t hold a candle to the exhibits at the Tampa Museum of Art. This evening, you can check items off of your Christmas gift list while checking
Free Concert: Rock the Lens—Arrested Development
It’s hard to fathom that Arrested Development was one of the hottest new acts in pop music—with three Top 10 singles, a 4X-platinum album and a Best New Artist Grammy—20 years ago. The utopian-minded hip-hop group’s success in the States faded quickly, but they’ve managed a solid career—particularly
Sweet Soul: A New Bill Withers Box Set
The first half of the 1970s was such a fruitful period for black pop that some genuinely great artists don’t get their historical due. Amid such legends as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The O’Jays, The
House Meets Haute: Efva Attling for Swedish House Mafia
Two things I love: Beats and Bling. They’re coming together—no, not for a rap video—but for an exclusive limited edition bracelet by Scandinavian jewelry designer Efva Attling. She created the bracelet for Swedish House Mafia (ahh, love them) in honor of the band’s last live tour, fittingly called
