The weather was hot, sunny and dry, and despite it being the middle of a weekday, the line for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's Wednesday rally stretched for blocks as supporters waited to get into Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa. Her visit comes two days after her Republican opponent Donald Trump rallied at…

We're too fatigued to conjure a snappy or interesting intro to today's Sh*t Happened column, so we'll use this space the way we're using all of our available space as election day approaches: Amendment 1 is a sham. It does NOT support alternative energy. It's a flat-out ruse. Please, don't be rused. (What? We make…

It was fun while it lasted, NASL, but no hard feelings, right?

It was probably supposed to be a softball question, Stetson elections law expert Ciara Torres-Spelliscy said. When moderator Chris Wallace during the final debate asked GOP nominee Donald Trump if he was going to accept the results of the Nov. 8 election if his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, wins. “Basically, do you believe in American…
Kesha is in town tonight, but we won't be there (officially). Our heroine is in something of a transition these days, and she's requested that the press be excluded for her show tonight as she explores a new sound (read more about that below) whilst also coming out from under the long-running lawsuit she filed…
The season ends with no playoffs.
You watch without seeing, blinded by your grief, unable to accept that the world goes on, uncaring, wholly oblivious to what's going on with you and Jenny. More than 10,000 people reportedly turned out for presidential candidate and possible human sunspot Donald Trump's rally at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater. Four dudes at the back…
Fans of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump will often tell you that part of his, er, …charm… is that he's not a political insider. Yet barely two weeks out from the election, his campaign schedule looks like it was mapped out by someone who knows what they're doing. As in: lots of stops in key…

They raised $800K for NephCure Kidney International
This week, Sal Nuzzo, a VP at an extreme pro-free-market think tank, told an audience that Amendment 1, backed by utility-funded "Consumers for Smart Solar," was a deliberate effort to get FL residents to vote against expansion of solar power while thinking they're voting for it. In response to what we wrote about the revelation,…
Pig in the park and then punk rock across the street right after that. Bunny at the bar, kids music for all ages, eyeliner rock, EDM and even the Genitorturers. Hip hop, R&B and Serbian surf rock are all covered, and there are at least two shows on here where hula hoops are appropriate. It…
Deduct half a star for off-season viewing.
State Representative Dana Young (R-Tampa) ostensibly skipped a Tampa Tiger Bay club forum to attend the funeral of Louisa Lykes Ferguson, a matriarch of one of Tampa's most influential families, and the subsequent reception. But Democrat Bob Buesing, probably her most formidable challenger in the race for the newly drawn state Senate seat to which…

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLyo1Q7gUKO Jason Isbell is a brave guy. Dig a little deeper under the surface of the tall, stoic Alabaman’s exterior and it’s not hard to hear him bare his soul or tout his musical influences. The slender, lanky singer-songwriter has no problem delivering solemn, heartfelt, direct killer tunes and pouring every ounce of himself into…

Friday: The official weekday of Canadian '80s crossover pop-rock sensation Loverboy. Let's bandana it up.

And the eBay sale of memorial chunks of concrete piling…
Get to the Ybor City Cupcake Festival, an all-you-can-drink-a-thon and “church” this weekend.
Not that any of us needed another reason to be outraged and/or depressed these days, but a new undercover video taken at a local "zoo" is utterly disheartening. In 2015 and 2016, someone affiliated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) volunteered and worked at Dade City's Wild Things, a somewhat popular —…
There’s a unisex option, too, boys.
On Monday, it will have been 20 years since St. Petersburg police shot and killed 18-year-old TyRon Lewis, a young African-American man, in south St. Petersburg. It was an event that sparked rioting and put the city in the national spotlight. Questions have since lingered over whether Lewis actually posed a threat to the public or…
The only debate I heard was about which goal from Joe Cole was better. But that didn't matter in the end. The Rowdies faced one of their most heartbreaking losses, leaving some of us asking the big questions like what? How? And WHY? A win was everything Wednesday night. A win would have put the…

Craft beer happenings, planned for Friday and Saturday, to have on your radar.
Environmental groups are mad as hell about Amendment 1 — and have been for more than a year. Instead of fighting for a modern approach to renewable energy (i.e. breaking down the barriers to solar power), they've had to fend off a power company-fueled effort to freeze the state's energy policy in time by tricking…

Specials on everything from appetizers to desserts are up for grabs through October.
Underscoring the Tampa Bay area's role in determining the outcome of national elections, President Obama gave a surprise phone interview on popular, iHeartMedia-owned hip hop/R&B station 95.7 the Beat Wednesday afternoon largely to ask listeners to get to the polls, and to help Hillary Clinton become president in doing so. It's likely that channel in…
Imagine a big scar bisecting much of the length of the Florida peninsula, slicing through fields and swamplands at widths upwards of 100 feet. Underneath that scar would lie a 3-foot-wide pipe that carries methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide — though it burns cleaner than oil — from Alabama to Florida,…
It’s one of the loudest rallying cries this election year: the person we elect to be president next month will likely get to choose multiple U.S. Supreme Court justices over the course of his or her term, including the justice who will succeed Antonin Scalia, the conservative firebrand who died in February. U.S. Senate Republicans…
