- Sour fest The best place to eat crawfish cornbread is bringing the beer in a sour fest. Cajun Cafe on the Bayou. Sat.: 2-6 p.m.
- Romper Party A $200 bar tab goes to the cutest romper. And before you ask, it's open to men and women. Our money's on a bromper, 10 gallon hat and some cowboy boots. If that's you, please send us a photo. Waterin Trough Nightclub. Sat. 9 p.m.-Sun. 3 a.m.
- Literary salon Wordier Than Thou's part of the city's Creative District, and their Friday night salons at the bookstore bring out poets, fiction writers and essayists — come read or listen. Fri.: 6:30-9 p.m.
- Disney for grownups Disney trivia night at the library is for adults and teens only. They'll ask all kinds of trivia, including behind-the-scenes stuff, so we get the feeling this may be the type of thing where you'll see the hard-core pin collectors, annual pass holders and, well, you know who you are. Call to RSVP and they'll give you a question in advance: 727-369-0667. Barbara Ponce Library. Fri.: 7-8:30 p.m.
- Gardening for butterflies The Pinellas Park Garden Club's Wendy Risk will give a talk about how to attract pollinators to your garden, specifically monarch butterflies. So it's like you're working in your garden, but in the air conditioning. Sat.: 1 p.m.
- Barbecue Real Floridians know barbecue is a noun, not a verb. The barbecue and a silent auction are a fundraiser for sickle cell. Well, not technically for the disease, but for the St. Petersburg chapter of Sickle Cell Disease Association of America and the idea is to find a cure people like Antonesha "Peanut" Jackson and others with the disease. Fri.: 7 p.m. $20; $25, door. 727-369-5678.
- Father's Day lobster Bottles is grilling filet mignon and lobster tails, because who doesn't love steak? Other than, you know, vegetarians and vegans. But everyone else loves it. Also, Bottles brags they have the coldest beer in town. I say we go investigate. Bottles. Sun.: 3-9 p.m.
- Oh my god more cookouts You know, if Father's Day happened in February, I bet there wouldn't be so many damn grilled things for dad. OK, this one's pretty cool, though, because it's at H&R Trains. A $4 donation gets you a hot dog or a hamburger, along with chips. They'll have the trains running — if you've never been to H&R, it's the kind of place that makes you want to get a train set. Sun.: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
- Dance with a bad boy The Second Annual Superhero and Villain Gala marries two things you'd never thought you'd see: swing dancing and superheroes and villains. OK, so three things. The closest I've ever seen to something like this is the Batusi. Sat.: 1 p.m.
- Get Busy for brunch. We have respectable intel that Busy Bee is a classic greasy spoon with some solid food. Go ahead — we won't tell your cardiologist. Busy Bee Snak Shop.
