The talent shows at JJ's are simply not to be missed! Every week, as the word spreads they are even more incredible than the week before! Recently there were 4 contestants: a modern dancer, a standup comic, a violin player and a singer. The winner, hands down, was the violinist. After the contest everybody heads over to The Ybor Social/Eagle. This is a very busy night packed with fun party people. It's easy to see why Thursdays have become our favorite night of the week!

Not one, but two new T-dances, both connected by the trolley! Congratulations to Manny Alvarez on the opening of Twilight in the towers of Channelside. The club has a New York feel with breathtaking views of downtown Tampa. DJ David Carpenter and hostess Melanie Minyon with hot models kick the feel into high gear! The second T-dance is actually being called the Centro Block Party. This is a new party so huge it takes a community to host it! This one features live bands at PLAY Ybor, specials at Centro Cantina, DJ Power Infinity and Macaviti at large with Jocelyn Summers at Hamburger Mary’s. Dancing until 3 am at G.BAR!

Every morning, Mark and I talk about politics over our freshly ground and brewed Kona coffee and reading the paper. Plans on running for Tampa City Council in the future had just turned a corner to apply now for the opening on one of the two council members’ seats.
