Vagina-foward bar Shuffle is extending the weed-focused holiday with a free 420 Art Show, Concert and Market Saturday April, 24.
Marijuana isn’t the only drug-that-should-be-legal being celebrated Saturday night. Co-owner Danielle O’Connor’s uncle Jay Buckler is the man behind Uncle J’s Magic Mushroom Art show starting at 6 p.m.
Buckler brings “a series of ceramic mushroom sculptures that function as pipes and bongs with removable caps that double as incense burners.”
Buckler is also showing off his psilocybin mushrooms paintings, and he knows a thing or two about them. After coming off of opioid painkillers he was prescribed to help combat chronic pain, he decided to try microdosing.
“Instead of feeling mired in negative thought and emotional patterns, I’m able to step back and see myself and my entire life situation from a much more objective perspective,” Buckler told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay in an email, “I’m now able to turn off repetitive thought patterns and actively choose to focus my full attention on the present moment, where all creation and life, itself, is really happening!”
Shufflea market starts at 2 p.m. with up and coming band Feeble Bones entertaining the shoppers, drinkers and shufflers.
If you're in the drinking class, and like your beer skunkier than your weed, you’re in luck–Shuffle will have Florida’s only keg of Wicked Weed’s Dr. Dank IPA.
FYI, you might want to keep the dosing micro, at least until magician Steve Vitale performs because one sleight of hand trick might blow your mind to the point of no return.
Carribean band I-Ruption rocks the backyard stage starting at 7:30. Plus there’s a tie-dye station, for good measure. More information is on social media.
