Bruce who? What Boss?

Just kidding, but if you're not seeing Springsteen, come to the CL Space (right above Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor) for our super-cool Story Time installment on Fri., March 23. This month's event has exceeded our wildest expectations for talent and kickass variety. (Facebook invite can be found here.)

You could say we got lucky.

Starting at 8 p.m., six prominent locals — Rob Lorei, Walter "Wally B" Jennings, Leilani Polk, Heidi Kurpiela Bardi, Shae Krispinsky and Matt Coplon — draw inspiration from divine (and not-so-divine) intervention with real-life narratives and essays. $5 donation; wine, soda and beer will be sold.

Arrive early to partake of Bluebird Book Bus and the Sasha Rae Photobooth in an Ybor Square courtyard pre-party at 7 p.m. At 9:30 p.m. local favorite Sleepy Vikings rebounds from SXSW to perform, and DJ Arielle Stevenson of WMNF's Artful Dodgings spins.
