Get this, guys! Somewhere south of downtown Philly, near the parking lot of the ikea where most Philadelphians buy weed after two in the morning, Republicans have set up their "RNC at the DNC" sideshow. It's similar to The Daily Show's sideshow exhibit at the RNC, a hysterical undertaking that by no means took itself…
The morning after Bernie Sanders urged his supporters to back Dem nominee Hillary Clinton (and a bunch of them walked out in the wake of what was sort of a concession speech), his passionate supporters are not quite ready to let go of their guy. After all, the process, in their view, was a picture…
A look back at the concert that happened on Tue., July 26.
Like Escape to Witch Mountain, except with lots more blood.
On the heels of what may have been the Democrats' biggest high at their convention thus far, those who spoke at the Florida Democratic Party's breakfast today drew dramatic contrasts between themselves and the Republicans who set a dark tone at their convention last week. Among them was a fired-up Bob Buckhorn. The Tampa mayor…
A grand opening for the St. Pete store from Venice-based Tervis will take place Aug. 5.
Jack Gleeson’s retired… except for Tampa Bay Comic Con, apparently.
Cueni Brewing Co. is the latest to join downtown Dunedin’s craft beer brigade.
The Americlintonian Era is now upon us. Again. Get used to it or face "peril." The next question we must answer: From which decade would we like our Hillary to hail? We prefer ’60s Hillary. The minidresses. The flip. The gravitations toward nonviolent resistance and sympathy with the colonized over the colonizers. Or whatever. Man,…
It doesn't really feel like a Wednesday, whatever that means. Florida's Environmental Regulatory Commission approved new water-quality standards that will allow the dumping of more carcinogens into state waters. The plan "does more good than harm," said a chairperson on the ERC, who also happens to be a lawyer working for developers. They know being…
Two very different sorts of shows are happening in Tampa tonight, one small and indie, one arena-size and radio friendly. Check out the highlights for this Wed., July 27 below… Koo Koo Kanga Roo with Harry and the Potters Minneapolis duo Bryan Atchison and Neil Olstad write goofy-fun pop material about juvenile subject matter (ninjas,…
Shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday, after roll call wound down, U.S. Sen. from Vermont Bernie Sanders essentially ended his campaign by asking convention leaders to suspend convention rules, a procedural move that made Hillary Clinton officially the Democratic presidential nominee. Though the Democratic National Convention started off shitshowishly Monday, there was little jeering as, alphabetically,…
Fresh music, plus a 15-song (Spotify included) playlist for your listening pleasure.
It’s called “the book after the book.”
Is that a rabbit in your pocket?
It’s not all Florida Man, apparently.
Florida is going to be Ground Friggin' Zero in the political realm after the Democratic National Convention winds down — Tampa Bay, especially. Trump's here raising money Tuesday; Clinton made sure it was one of her last stops before the convention. Apparently Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders knows how important we are as well. That's why,…
The Florida Lyric Opera reopens with a production of Viva La Mamma. Opera, you say? Too serious, you say? Not. Even. Close. This particular opera, written by Gaetano Donizetti, doesn’t take itself so seriously — the opposite: It mocks the genre and makes fun of the performers and the “stage mothers” who make running any…
Summer’s all over but the pumpkin spice latte…
Many films have this arc. Conflict is imminent and starts early. The worst-case scenario at times seems imminent, until at some point there's a resolution that leaves a remote possibility for a sequel. Such a plot played out over the course of Monday, the first day of the Democratic National Convention. 8:30 a.m., the Marriott…
In St. Pete, watch or partake in Bandit Coffee’s Slayer Throwdown Thursday.
The day began with blistering heat, both meteorological and political. Thousands of protesters marched south from Philadelphia's downtown to the Wells Fargo Center, site of the convention, their numbers surpassing what was seen in Cleveland. Inside the arena, it seemed at first that the bitterness of Bernie Sanders supporters would subvert the celebration of the…
It's Tuesday, and you won't believe what happened next… Apartment listings site Zumper ranked St. Pete as the nation's most pet-friendly city, with Tampa following up at #5. Mayors Kriseman and Buckhorn quickly issued a joint press release disavowing any relationship with any website whose reason for existing can't be somewhat easily determined by its name.…

The WikiLeaks revelations that the Democratic National Committee had tried to undermine the candidacy of Sen. Bernie Sanders weren't exactly shocking, but they've put a serious dent in the prospects of party unity as the convention begins in Philadelphia. So now all eyes are, once more, on the senator from Vermont. He's one of the…
Presented with the opportunity to relax on Long Beach Island between two major political conventions rather than running up lighthouses and spending hours quaffing brewskis at Kubel's with loved ones, a wise person would spend as much time reclining as possible. Apparently, we are not wise. 12:30 p.m., Passyunk Avenue. Our dad, who is heading…

DEA + Saint present the first in a series of interviews with their local peers; stream of RGSM’s new single “Wild One” included.
Before outgoing Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz even opened her mouth to address the Florida delegation at a Monday breakfast event, supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders conveyed that they're not screwing around. As she approached the podium, many rushed toward her and booed the South Florida Congresswoman. Police had to form a…
How was your weekend? Hopefully not shooty or wasted on political discourse.

The proposed ordinance called for banning…
Hillary Clinton named Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to be her vice presidential running mate Friday evening, merely hours after campaigning in Tampa.

Ever get that feeling that everyone is Corey Lewandowski? You go to some reptilian-themed restaurant before and after the main event to order some bubbly, sabotage the jukebox and unwind, and you catch the eye of more than one crewcut-festooned dude of indecipherable age. That's never happened to you? No? Huh. Well, that's been an…
