Bebopped at the Sock Hop (Written by Paula Hilton)
Dig out those poodle skirts and roll up your jeans for a Sock Hop that will have you out of your shoes and on the dance floor in no time. And this is no average Sock Hop - with a famous DJ, famous rock 'n roll star, giddy fans, starstruck teachers and a Principal with no principles, it's guaranteed to be a night of fun that will have you howling with laughter. But be careful, this sock hop full of twists and turns could turn deadly!  Will you and your friends win the prize for guessing who dunnit?

Tues. + Wed. = Twice the Spoken Word

If you are like me and you need a break from the hustle and bustle of "the most wonderful time of the year," jump in your sleigh and make your way to Sluggo's on Tuesday and The Game Plan on Wednesday.  A local favorite, the Head Doc, will be guest hosting with the Speakeasy crowd at Sluggo's on Tuesday.  You can see him again at the Art of Xxpression on Wednesday.  Here are the vitals:

Adonna's: An Oasis on Palafox

 
It has been a long time since I last posted, and that's a direct result of this hectic time of the year.  From November to January, many of us operate on overdrive at home and at work.  If you need a few minutes of calm, stroll into Adonna's Bakery downtown (114 A Palafox Place).  As the name implies, they have yummy baked goods.  Some make great Christmas gifts like the chocolate and caramel cake pops pictured below.  To my surprise, however, my favorite part of this bakery is not the sweets.  It's the "real" food including their spinach pastry, quiches, and--my favorite--the Greek Goddess sandwich made with spinach, feta, hummus, cucumbers, and other goodness.  I never thought I could love a sandwich that didn't involve chicken, turkey or pork, but I was wrong.  I've consumed two in the past week.  I am actually eating one now while admiring Adonna's Old World decor, agitated only by the sight of my laptop.

Well, lunch is over.  Back to the real world.
