Published April 17, 2009 at 8:24 a.m.

Okay so it's not really ECOlution time, but we are getting closer! A little less than a week before the festivities kick off ... Now for those of you who may not be familiar with ECOlution, first of all shame on you, as its the premier "Green" celebration here in Tampa Bay. Not to mention the fact that Travis has been giving you the word on it for the past few weeks in his blog posts, not to mention we talked about it in the most recent E-Newsletter issue. So based on all of that if you haven't

Ting Tings rock the Orpheum

I found myself in Ybor City last night, in a little place called the Orpheum, watching The Ting Tings.  What an AWESOME show, in an AWESOME place.  If you have never heard of them, 'Shut Up and Let Me Go' was used for an Apple commerical last year, and you can hear their new single 'Thats Not My Name' on radio right now.  Trust me, you are going to hear a lot about them in the future ... The Orpheum, if you haven't been, looks like it was a model for a 'Rock Band' or 'Guitar Hero' venue.

I'll be out and about this weekend.  Look for me at the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion.  I'll be walking the streets before the parade starts looking to flash people.  ... If you don't find me there, come meet me at Ultra Lounge in Brandon.  Tony Dize and Toni Ton Ton are going to be there as well.  ... Oh yeah, I'll be at the Gasparilla Knight Parade as well next Saturday night, at the Metromix tent.  We'll have the photo wall, goodies and beads to hand out.  ... -Javier ...

Booze and beads...pirates and parades!

It happens every year. A boat full of pirates hit the shore of Tampa Bay bearing beads and schlepping beer. The streets are blocked off to traveling cars, making way for the swarms of party-goers while dozens of hand-made floats make their way down Bayshore Boulevard ... Now, I must admit that after five consecutive years of attending Gasparilla, I'm still not really sure what I'm celebrating. The invasion of pirates in our city?  The exploiting of women for plastic beads? Or just delighting
