Local (St Petersburg, Florida)  boys make good…  Music.  Videos.  And,   of  course,  music-blog fodder.

On a recent Friday in St. Petersburg, Kyle Wyss and Sheridan Willard were sipping health drinks at Central Cafe and Organics when in through the door walked Orhan Chettri and Ben Goodman.
Greetings were issued. Introductions were made. Small talk was exchanged.
And with that, the group Blind Man’s Colour became, for the first time ever, a full band.
This might come as a surprise to some, considering a growing number of prominent music blogs and bloggers — including Kanye West and Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste — have heaped praise upon Blind Man’s Colour this spring. Pitchfork included a song on a recent podcast. The band’s forthcoming album, Season Dreaming, due in August on Brooklyn’s Kanine Records (Chairlift, Northern State, Oxford Collapse), is drawing comparisons to Animal Collective.

…Mick’s great healthy organic cuisine.

Mr. Blake Z. Larson, or "Harry Potter with a vidcam", as he is known by some.

Turns out he was  visiting St Pete, and lives up north, but hey!
Here is the official bio:

Blake Z. Larson, an 11 year old videographer, is the CEO of BZL Productions. The Central Café and Organics promo is Blake’s first commercial project. He lives in Massachusetts but often visits his grandparents in St. Petersburg. Blake thanks Central Café and Organics for this opportunity and hopes many more will arise. Information on BZL Productions is available on www.BZLProductions.com.

…Made this fine promo for Mickey. We’ll get the rest of the story up soonly.

Even in the heat heat of summer, the Tampa Bay area gets more than its share of bright, attractive, health-conscious tourists, and they need a healthfood, organic and vegetarian restaurant in which to refuel. Look at owner Mickey Paleologos back there behind them– he never met a camera he didn’t like.

Mickey and crew serve up great veggie, vegan and organic food every day, and the Central Cafe & Organics restaurant is noted by international healthy food and restaurant directories as the place to go in downtown St. Petersburg Florida in the Southern end of Pinellas County.

Altar Boyz is running April 15 thru May 10. American Stage in the Park is performed outdoors at Demens Landing Park, located on the corner of 1st Avenue North and Bayshore Boulevard SE in downtown St. Petersburg, FL.

Altar Boyz

“Must-see musical theater, howlingly funny. Director-choreographer Steven Flaa has whipped the five guys into high-energy shape, and they never let up. The vocal arrangements are ravishing. Shalt thou go? Yes!”
–St. Petersburg Times.

See the American Stage website for further details.

Review: I’m not from the area, so I used this webpage to find a vegan restaurant nearby. My brother & I went…what a great find! The food was inexpensive and the portions were huge. I absolutely loved my hummus wrap…the hummus was delish! I also enjoyed the balsamic dressing that was made in-store. I can’t wait to go back!

Review: Wow, For less then $9 I got and amazing Roasted Veggie Wrap, it was half, and was plenty, a small salad with a delicious Mango Chardonnay dressing, a bowl of Sweet Potato/Tomato soup(they listed it as small, again it was plenty) and a wonderful oatmeal, coconut, chocolate cookie. I’m so full and so satisfied.
