Party Like Pirates

"Spark It Up," the second alternative shortened version of the award-winning documentary "Blow It Up" has been released for comparison to the first short version titled "Fire It Up."  The first shortened version of the documentary featured additional footage from the 50th Anniversary of the University of Michigan Hash Bash; whereas, this second version features additional musical clips not featured on the first version.  All three versions of "Blow It Up," "Fire It Up," and "Spark It Up" were named for the involvement of pyrotechnic work, as well as the destruction from Hurricane Ian in SW Florida. "Spark It Up", la segunda versión abreviada alternativa del galardonado documental "Blow It Up", ha sido lanzada para compararla con la primera versión corta titulada "Fire It Up". La primera versión abreviada del documental incluyó imágenes adicionales del 50 aniversario del Hash Bash de la Universidad...

While autumn might be cooling off places up north, the water here in Florida is as relaxing as ever, and there's no better place to relax than in the No Stress Zone at Adventure Island in Tampa.  Hop aboard a translucent green tube and float down the lazy river, until you find what excites you next.  This is not like a lame park with only one big slide, as there's so many to choose from, you'll be hard pressed to choose your favorite by the time you drop down, slide around at high speeds, slipping and twisting through water. Si bien el otoño puede estar refrescando lugares en el norte, el agua aquí en Florida es tan relajante como siempre, y no hay mejor lugar para relajarse que en No Stress Zone en Adventure Island en Tampa. Súbete a un tubo verde translúcido y flota río abajo hasta que encuentres lo que te emociona a continuación. Esto no es como un parque aburrido con un solo gran tobogán, ya que hay tantos para elegir que será difícil elegir tu favorito cuando te dejes ...

In yet another evening of Tampa's metal music at The Orpheum, Cattle Decapitation was featured with 200 Stab Wounds, Blackbraid and Dark Funeral.  With 30 years of Swedish dark metal, fans of Dark Funeral and Blackbraid were easy to spot, donning black and white face makeup.  Meanwhile, people see names like 200 Stab Wounds and Cattle Decapitation with Dark Funeral, thinking it's some sort of animal sacrifice to a dark entity, leaving me to explain that they are bands, not live animal slaughtering. En otra noche de música metal de Tampa en The Orpheum, Cattle Decapitation se presentó con 200 Stab Wounds, Blackbraid y Dark Funeral.  Con 30 años de dark metal sueco, los fanáticos de Dark Funeral y Blackbraid fueron fáciles de detectar, vistiendo maquillaje facial en blanco y negro.  Mientras tanto, la gente ve nombres como 200 Stab Wounds y Cattle Decapitation con Dark Funeral, pensando que es una especie de sacrificio de animales a una entidad oscura, dejándome explic...

It's always a delight to go up to Tampa for a metal night.  Wanting to show my support for Sacred Reich, as on Ozzfest 2002, Jason and I found some common ground like.  Even though I put in to cover that band, it seemed as if someone else had planned. Siempre es una delicia ir a Tampa para una noche de metal.  Queriendo mostrar mi apoyo al Sagrado Reich, como en el Ozzfest 2002, Jason y yo encontramos algunos puntos en común.  A pesar de que puse para cubrir esa banda, parecía como si alguien más lo hubiera planeado. Confirmed through another band on the bill, I'd find out later that I must have given a band member a thrill.  Florida is known as a home to big cats, and was someone out to hunt cougars in their natural habitats?  Kudos to style, making the show worthwhile, being respectful, not vile, and an after-show escort for like a half mile, as every once in a while, the exception rolls through the turnstile, even if it's that reflex that's tactile, as i...
