This past week we saw things we had never seen before! On a quiet Tuesday night there were screams coming from Bradley’s on 7th. Not screams of joy, but screams of fighting! Of course, we had to investigate… there in the DIVA Dance Room was a huge boxing ring set up complete with three ropes and bouncing padded floor. It was the Semi Pro Wrestlers Association! These were colorfully costumed and full of life characters. Miss Robin Demornay was the hostess of the event and the whole room was caught up in the action. At one point Miss Robin hit Mad Dog on the head with her microphone as she proclaimed “That’s how you train a bad dog!” The highlight was the final round when Mohamad took the floor.

The next time your at Bradley’s be sure you show some respect to Mohamad at the door. This is one guy you do not want to piss off! Just sayin. We understand there will be more wrestling coming next month. Don’t miss the great time.
Silent Disco?
The Ritz Ybor caught our attention and curiosity when up on the marque it read “Tonight Silent Disco.” Yes, we are old enough to remember Disco, but never heard of Silent Disco (SilentEvents.com) . As you entered the Ritz they gave everybody headphones to wear. In the main dance room there was a DJ set up center stage, neon lights flashing everywhere, and people dancing. As the night went on, it got crazy and crazier. The room was so very quiet you could hear a pin drop. Guests would take one earphone off and yell at each other over the music in their other ear. So, we were hearing all kinds of wild things like, “Damn you’re hot,” “Cocktail time,” “Let’s go to my house” and many things we cannot print! LOL!
