One of our favorite summer competitive band concert series has begun at The Ritz Ybor. Over the next 4 weeks every Wednesday, 4-6 local and area bands will compete to be the best. Each weeks winner will be called back to compete in the finals. The first week infamous Tea Cup (Mark), set designer Mathieu Stanoch,  singer Jeremy Gloff  were honored to be one of the many judges. It was a naughty fun time!  The bands were outstanding. The co-mingled sounds were superb. See you all at The Ritz Ybor this Wednesday.

Last Thursday we headed out to the buzzing beat sounds at the Ybor Social Club!!!  The line was long. It was just plain FUN, FUN, FUN!!!! Famous for College Night the crowd is a mix with people who just want to have FUN!!! Upstairs DJ Charles was making the walls bounce and the newly added video wall dazzle. In the basement is the bar we nicked named “That 70’s Club” once there you will understand! This night was a guest DJ spinning the music sets. Give bartenders CJ and Vinny a kiss from us.

Every week there is something new & exciting at G.BAR. This week besides al the HOT Dancers, Great Music & Drink Special, we found something else. G.BAR’s #1 VJ Greg Anderson has this wonderful sense of humor!!!  Mixed in with the videos was a video of baby kittens wrestling.  It might have been because of the drinks but we all were watching for 20 minutes & couldn’t stop laughing!!!! The new addition of seating area, built up Victorian wall papered walls and the beautifully adorned chandeliers add a lot of charm and intimacy when you want to just talk to that someone special. One thing for sure G.BAR is a must do any time! Visit their web site at www.yborclubs.com for the weekly line up.

When we heard it was The Bricks… One Year Anniversary we both said this is a party not to be missed! As we approached The Bricks it was like the motorcycle scene from Rocky Horror. Instead of motorcycles a group of 20+ arrived in percussion on skate boards!  Each one stop just short of the door then kicked their boards up and under their arms as they entered. Inside was an eclectic group of cool people. All ages and all types having a great time together. World travelers Jenna and husband Ryan and business partner, Bryan toasted the success of their new indiscriminate named restaurant’s clientelle. Out back was a BBQ and to our surprise a skate board ramp! To say we were impressed by the skate boarders showing off their talents, is an understatement! These kids were GREAT!!!  What a good time & congratulations to your 1 year anniversary. We are looking forward to many more!!!
