Due to the Super Bowl this weekend, I will be laying low and avoiding any risk of getting caught up in a Super Bowl conversation. Sorry—not a sports fan. But I still and always will love YOU, Sarasota!! Here are some very cool non-Super Bowl events that should spice up the fun on an otherwise sporty weekend.

It’s gonna be another beautiful weekend in Sarasota. Let’s get out there and celebrate birthdays, good music, our seabirds and a local friend who’s been good to all of us and needs our help.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Survival of the End of the World. Let’s spend it together, shall we?

Another weekend has come upon us so fast I almost forgot what day it was. That’s the beauty of living in a fun city with lots to do. Now, let’s talk about this weekend, shall we? – Hair by Brian Boyd http://brianjboyd.wordpress.com/ Something catch your fancy?

Back in home base for this weekend’s video,  stayin’ warm against our version of chilly weather. Another way to stay warm in Sarasota is a nice fire out back at the Cock & Bull Pub! The holidays and warm feelings are right around the corner. With this weekend let the inspiration and giving begin! Join me in welcoming Josh Gracin to Sarasota!
