If you want to add a little spice to your weekend, saunter down to St. Petersburg's Herb Day 2006 celebrations (settle down there, kids, it's not that kind of herb). Local herbalists and nonprofits host a gathering featuring herb samples, lectures, live music and related vendors. Once you've had enough of all that healthy talk, drop by Café Bohemia for a triple-shot latte and a free screening of Side Effects, a film based on writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau's true-life experiences working as a pharmaceutical drug sales rep. Sat., Oct. 14: Herb Day 2006, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Acupuncture & Herbal Therapies, 901 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, free, and Side Effects, 7:30 p.m., Café Bohemia, 937 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, free, www.herbday.org.
