Shit to do this weekend

08 Jan

Posted by The One in the Shit to Do department.

That right kids, ’tis Thursday and time to plan the weekend. Here are a few events that might be worth checking out:

I <3 St. Pete Show
ARTPool, Saturday 6 pm - 12 am
I still haven’t made it to this place, and I’m not 100% sold on it just yet, but this show looks like it is going to be good. Blue Lucy, Bask and Chris Parks are showing, so that shouldn’t suck. Speaking of which, Chris Parks’ ass won the Reax cover contest with his mad balls.

Sunshine City Antiques & Collectibles Show
Coliseum, Fri. 5 - 8 pm, Sat. and Sun. 10 am - 5 pm
I’m totally an antiques fag, go ahead and laugh. This is always a good show with furniture, art, jewelry, pottery, vintage clothing, etc.

Cigar City Tattoo Convention
The Cuban Club, Thursday-Saturday
This looks like it might not suck, and if it does you can at least catch Jim Rose playing MC.

Gallery Walk
Central Ave., Saturday 5:30 - 9 pm
Looks like this will be kicking up again, happens the second Saturday of every month and features about a dozen downtown galleries open late for art and culture and shit.

Art in the Park
Williams Park, Saturday 10 am - 3 pm
Not sure how this will work out but it’ll be art, vendors, music, performers and food in a park more well known for other things. For extra fun drop by Friday night to see the St. Pete PD forcibly removing the homeless.

If you’ve got other shit to add, just leave ‘em in the comments.
