3 Year Anniversary at Bradley’s on 7th

3 Year Anniversary at Bradley’s on 7th
It’s easy to see why Bradley’s on 7th has been named one of the top 10 clubs in Florida! Their 3 year Anniversary party was so HUGE it lasted 4 Day!

Mark & Carrie Nephieu/Niece of the Week

Kyle O’Donnell
The next time your out at a club and heard a group of people laughing and having a great time… Chances are that Kyle is there. In GaYBOR/Ybor City there are 2 fun beaches. GaYBOR Beach at the Quarters and South Beach at the Box Factory. On a beautiful day you will find Kyle at South Beach keeping the party going!

You Can Not make this Up.

At the old SunCoast Resort there were these 2 guys from Sarasota that drove everybody nuts. They were pain in the butt whiners and complainers about everything. Then management notice that every time after they would check out there was a problem with the shower in their room. One day they checked out and were still at the bar when a call came into the mgr from housekeeping. There in their room was a sex toy still attached to the shower head. (use your imagination) The manager took it down and put it in a big clear plastic bag. Strolling up to them at the bar the manager said in a very loud clear voice “Here you forgot this!” The couple replied “O that is not ours” the mgr said “Yes it is.” Then put it down and walked away. It was one of the funniest things we have ever seen.

Congratulations to Bradley’s on 7th
3 Year Anniversary
 
Sol Y Son Cuban Band Direct From Cuba
    Behinds the scenes is a small group of Yborites forming a new art company for Cuban & United States Musical & Arts Trade exchange. Novel is the idea of these area gentlemen including Joe Capitano, Sr, Alan Kahana and 2 others trying to open up relations with the Cuban government to hear authentic Latin music here in Tampa. After 6 months of negotiations and great assistance from U.S. Congresswoman Kathy Castor in getting these trade agreements open with the Southern Communist island accomplished. The group will be playing in Ybor City, Tampa and Madeira Beach for the next 3 weeks. Then they will be going back to Cuba.
     ‘Sol y Son’ is a Cuban band. This band of experienced musicians from some of the most prestigious groups in Cuba was founded in 1990. Their reputation has grown since then both nationally and internationally, most notably in the UAE.
    A kickoff performance was held at Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant on Fat Tuesday night. Many local business and political leaders attending including Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda.

‘Sol y Son’ has a wide repertoire of songs which includes Latin American and Caribbean rhythms as well as Spanish, English and Arabic classics. All of these are delivered in  ‘Sol y Son’s’ distinctive style which has made them so popular wherever they have played. This Cuban specialty sound popularity is nowhere better seen than in the UAE where their contracts have been extended in five star resort hotels in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. They have played there for well over a year now.
In addition to the above countries performed, they have presented their material on both radio and TV in their native Cuba, and have been given enthusiastic receptions in renown tourist centers, conventions and national events.
The group takes its name from the Cuban rhythm of ‘Son’, and its music is truly one of the best examples available today of this tropical Latin sound.
No matter what your taste, ‘Sol y Son’ will appeal with their flawless technique, popular selection, rhythmic sound and professional appearance.
Wherever they have been and wherever they will go, ‘Sol y Son’ always draw and receive the accolade they deserve.

Your may have been asking…What are those huge Red Snails and why are they here?

“Foreverglades”is an environmental installation of six large red recycled plastic snail sculptures installed in front of the SSB and PAB.   The installation will be in place mid-January through Earth Day, April 22. The “Foreverglades” installation premiered at Art Basel Miami at Miami-Dade College’s Freedom Tower—large recycled, plastic animals by international artist collective William Sweetlove and the “Cracking Art Group” based in Europe, represented by Gallery Ca d’Oro, Italy and Miami.  The snails made their way to Tampa from Central Park in NYC where they were installed through the months of November/December. You may have seen them on CNN, while reporting on the recent snow storms in NY.

 

In its REgeneration Art Projects, the “Cracking Art Group” creates public art using recyclable plastic. The red snails are part of an intriguing public art series designed to inspire community-wide conversation about the importance and impact of recycling. They will provide HCC students with a conscious perspective on environmental protection and sustainability of Florida’s Everglades and fragile environments.  They are bold, unexpected visuals that will leave a memorable artistic trace in Tampa. The REgeneration Art Project has developed an international following placing large, colored animal installations in a variety of unusual spaces worldwide, including Paris, Milan, Venice, Rome, Prague, New Orleans, NYC and L.A.
