This Mayday Weekend: April 29th-May 1st

Barkin' Hearts Wonderland @ Tampa Historic Trolley Barn - AT friend Johnna Guzman brings back Alice by popular demand. This is a party/fundraiser for ASPCA Tampa and other pet rescue groups, to one of which I will forever be indebted. Cirque-style performances, live music, art installations, erotic burlesque and pole dancing, dancing by the river's waterfront, and live body painting. I attended the first Wonderland party. It was a feast for the senses, and the money goes to a great cause. I expect this one to be even better. Costumes are encouraged. $25 in advance, $30 at the door. At the Tampa Trolley Barn, 1910 Ola Ave., Tampa. 8 PM Friday, April 29th.
