Cigar City Brewery?

Hiya folks,

Thinking of heading to the Cigar City Brewery sometime in the early afternoonish on Saturday. Fancy a taste of their frothy goodness and many tasty bits at Whole Foods? I'm thinking around 2PM. E-mail me or call me if you're feeling the urge, and we can work on meeting up.

On a more immediate note, I will probably desperately need a beverage tomorrow (Friday) around 6. Any interested parties or people who know of already planned things, I'd appreciate some contact.

Cheers!

Music events and other things

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to go to the electronic music class's concert on Thursday at least for a bit. It may be interesting or horribly experimental in a bad way.

USF SYCOM FAH 101-The Music Recital Hall, for an evening of cutting-edge electronic music from the students of Prof. Paul Reller's SYCOM Studio. October 14, 2010 from 8PM-9:30PM.

Creaky Bones 5K

Hey all: This 5K is being held on the Thursday before Halloween at St. Pete Pier. It's a really cool area and they are having adult refreshments at the finish, so don't worry if you aren't planning to run :) The link is to the sign up website. Let me know if you're interested!

That is all.

Stuff happening this weekend

Hiya folks!

Lots of stuff happening this weekend which I thought may be of interest to folks.

The German-American Society seems to be having a massive Oktoberfest event this weekend.
http://germanamericansociety-stpetersburg.com/default.aspx

Not sure if I'll go to that one, but it's pretty amazing looking. There's even a $2 coupon online off admission rates.

I will be going to to the Fall Choral Concert at Forest Hill Presbyterian. It's where the USF choirs will be. Seems like we lack performance space on campus or something. It's from 4-5:30PM on Sunday if anyone's feeling a hankering.

Food, Food, & More Food

Two social events I'd to invite you all to:

Tuesday Oct. 5th 7:30 pm- Dinner at Ceviche (http://www.ceviche.com/) Tampa location- $4 Tapas & $4 Sangria

Thursday Oct. 7th 7 pm- Fiesta Potluck @ Betsy & Julie's Place (3152 Toscana Cir. Tampa, FL 33611)- Bring your best Mexican dish or drink to share :)

I'd love to see you there! Let me know if you can make it....

Women's Soccer game!

In order to "celebrate" being done with Exam 1 regression, I am thinking of going to the Women's soccer game Thursday night at 7:30pM. Anyone interested?

YAY!

First Kickball game- Go PhDivas!

Hey all- Tomorrow is our first kickball game! PhDivas! We will be playing at 4:30 on Sundays at Gandy Civic Association Fields, 4207 W. Oklahoma Ave, Tampa, FL 33616.

I was thinking somewhere in the greater South Tampa area but am totally open to suggestions.

Questions, comments, personal feelings?

Part-time Job Fair Tomorrow (Thursday)

Don't think I'll got for long, but I thought I'd mention it.

Things this week

Hi everyone!

Here's the schedule for the poetry/art event happening this weekend (Deep Carnivale, Fri-S). Anyone have any particular interest in going to any of the events? They range from 0-5 dollars for admission. I'm thinking of going to the play series on Friday and maybe some stuff on Saturday or Sunday.

Tampa Restaurant week?

Hiya folks,

I just found out today that Tampa's restaurant week ends on this Tuesday! Does anyone want to try to grab some prix fixe goodness while it lasts.

http://www.visittampabay.com/dine-tampa-bay-2010/

Any interest?

I was considering maybe one of the following but am definitely up for other suggestions.

Possible USF Sports!

Hey guys- Kev and I are considering going to the USF football game Sat night at 7pm. Also considering going to the women's soccer game Sunday at 1pm.

Anyone else interested? I think they both would be fun-times!

Artsy things, this weekend and next

Hi everyone!

First Saturday of every month is the Ybor City Artwalk and guess what? It's September (as of tomorrow)! I know that the plan was to go to the beach, but we could always stop and do it sometime.

http://www.yborartassociation.com/events/artwalk/YAA%20Art%20Walk%20Brochure_FINAL.pdf

More immediately, there's this interesting art, theater, literature insanity happening next weekend in Ybor (9/9-911). It's called Deep Carnivale. I think I'll definitely try to make at least some of that. How could anyone pass up, "I am a Cuban Sandwich"?

USF Fitness Classes

Hey guys,

I know earlier we had a post about the fitness classes, but it's so far back that I wanted to start a new one.

I looked over the schedule and I think these are the ones I'm going to try to go to (pretty ambitious right now, I know...we'll see what happens as the semester progresses):

Monday 3:00-4:00pm - Yogalates

Tuesday 5:30-6:30pm - Spinning

Thursday 3:00-4:00pm - Fitness Fusion

Let me know if anyone else would want to come with me! Working out is always more fun with a friend, and also, helpful for motivation :)

Robin

Ummm.. hello beautiful weather!

So I just checked the forecast.. I know it is always subject to change (up until the minute it happens)..but Thurs-Sat looks like Sunny skies, no rain..

So I am thinking, Sat... beach??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it turns out to be nice, anyone in? Do your work some other time, because um.. hello we live in freakin' Florida for a reason.

EAT PRAY LOVE

Megan and I are planning on seeing Eat Pray Love at the Muvico on Bruce B Downs at 10:10pm tonight, if anyone wants to join us!! (Text me or respond if you are planning on going so we know to wait for you/save you a seat! 484-888-3981)

The Potluck fantastic and Jersey Shore! Pound it out with your poufs!

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd let you know what I was preparing.

I'm making Thai peanut roasted tofu and garlic mushroom rice. For beverages, I will have a signature cocktail, the Purple Panic Pandemonium (can be non-alcoholic, slightly alcoholic, and otherwise). I will also provide vaguely purple spritzers, meade, and water. Of course, I'll have paper plates, cups, and other things of that sort as well.

I leave the rest to you ingenious folks. Jersey Shore will proceed the potluck.

Call me if you get lost (609) 442-7639. You can park anywhere other than directly in front of a building.

See you all Thursday!

Mighty amounts of stuff this week

Totally mightier than Power Rangers!

On a side note, here's Shredder without the mask (http://www.x-entertainment.com/pics3/tm32.jpg).

There are so many events this week, it's ridiculous. Here's just a taste. If you'd like more info, go to the Week of Welcome site (http://ctr.usf.edu/wow/). You can also get brochures at the Week of Welcome tent by the Marshall Student Center.

Free Events:

August 25th

Graduate School Breakfast 10AM-12PM (Graduate School Hall, I think it's in BEH)

Taste of the Arts, Free food and performances, 11:30AM-1PM (Fine Arts Building Courtyard)

Art and Ice, Art tours and Snowcones. There'll be prizes as well. 3PM-5PM (Contemporary Arts Musem)

There's also a move in the lawn series. Iron Man 2 is playing Wednesday night from 9PM-11:30PM on the lawn of the Marshall Student Center. They're also playing Get Him to the Greek, Sex and the City 2, Toy Story 3, and many other movies these coming weeks.

August 26th

Pool-a-Palooza, 11AM-1PM, Andros Pool. They're having a meet and great for residential education. The PB&J bar is really what drew me to this event, as if I have time to go to it.

Without further ado

Dearly Beloved,

After much deliberation and banter of uncertain quantities, it was decided with my complete support that I shall be hosting our next pot luck which will be on 9/2, Thursday, at 6:30PM. The theme of the potluck is dum dum dooom... things with the letter "P". Feel free to be creative. As long as the name of the dish has a "P" in it, you're a-okay! If you feel like you need examples or something, feel free to let me know.

I live at 14327 Wedgewood Circle, Apt 101, Tampa, FL 33613.

Just to warn people, I don't really have many chairs, but LOTS of floor space.

I'm looking forward to having folks over!

First Fridays Pot Luck (woot woot)

Hey gang!

Anyone want to volunteer to host this months First Friday's (FF) dinnah?!?!! It will be Friday the 3rd and as host you get to pick the theme! Any takers!?!?!?

Thoughts and ideas

I was thinking of maybe going to the International Boba Cafe near the University Mall on Friday after dinner. I've heard they have a great open mic night on Fridays and fun tea drinks.

http://tampabay.metromix.com/restaurants/restaurant_review/cheap-eats-boba-house/1860733/content

I'm thinking I may swing by the Ybor Market this Saturday around 10ish. Has anyone been there yet?

I was also considering seeing this film with the Japanese Meetup group for all those people who love things Japanese. It's Saturday at 2PM.

http://www.meetup.com/japanese-571/calendar/14236275/

Sometime in the future, I'd like to go see Rocky Horror. They have it every few weeks at a local theater with a wondrous live cast. If you've never seen it and would like to go, I'll make sure you're coached properly as to avoid certain Rocky Horror embarrassment doom.

That's all for now, folks.
