Douglas Adams probably isn’t one of the first names you think of when the thought of sci-fi authors comes to mind, you hoopy frood.

But nerds around the world celebrate the man who blessed us with “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” every May 25 by carrying towels, described in the books as the most useful object any hitchhiker can carry. The late author emphasized how one can be used for warmth, sailing, and even a distress signal.

This celebration is no-cover, whether you decide to equip yourself with a towel or not, but just know that country-jazz fusion outfit The Holy Terror, and local singer-songwriters Jeff Brawer and Marc Ganancias will all be prepared.

Oh, and considering how the world is going to shit, do be mindful of any airborne dolphins, for they are just departing the earth.

There’s no cover to attend the Towel Day Celebration with The Holy Terror, Jeff Brawer, and Marc Ganancias at Tampa’s Shuffle on Saturday, May 25.
