The Loafies — our annual celebration in honor of the Best of the Bay issue — are your chance to meet the winners and mingle with the tastemakers of Tampa Bay at our homecoming/house party/awards show (no word on whether Kanye's gonna ruin my award presentation). Come out for food, fashion, drink, dancing and more, with live music by Best of the Bay winners Nervous Turkey (pictured) and Shunda K, 500 Wolves and more. Rumor has it that The Senator will be making a guest appearance, though how he could possibly top last year's show is anybody's guess.
Hit the break to find out about other stuff going on in Tampa Bay today — like how to see Liam Neeson in Taken for free, and where you can meet former St. Peteresburg Times reporter Charrie Hazard, who discusses her new novel, Falling into the Sun.
