Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. Nothing says “sex me up” like roller skates … wait. That’s weird. Oh well, any excuse to celebrate the holidays in smutty style works for me – including next Thursday's Santa’s Sexy Helper Adult Skate. Come (I can’t help myself) in full naughty-list seasonal garb and get free admission. Just watch where you stick those Christmas lights. Thurs., Dec. 17, 9 p.m., United Skates, 5121 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa, $7 without costume, myspace.com/unitedadultnight. – Franki Weddington
Next Thursday night's installment in the Dali and Beyond surreal cinema series is Peter Capaldi’s Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life — perfect for the Christmas cynic in all of us.
