Anitra and I attended Los Vinos de Dalí at the Dalí Museum a couple of weekends ago — here’s one of our pics.

I’m in “Made in Tampa!”
There’s an unexpected, growing tech scene here in Tampa, and Made in Tampa is dedicated to covering it. Their latest installment is about an accordion-playing techie whom you might know.
My thanks to Amanda Kern for the wonderful interview and write-up, and to Jason Allen for setting this up!
I was a synth player before I was an accordion player. Also, electronic keyboards are a great way to practice without annoying the neighbors — or more importantly, Anitra:

…instead, I was at the Python conference for the past couple of days. But it might have been fun to make a wager like the one pictured above!
This Saturday, April 15th, Clearwater will be holding its annual Ukulele Fest in the District in their downtown area, and I’ll be playing on Cleveland Street near the Capitol Theatre with Tom Hood and the Tropical Sons at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m..
Ukulele Fest in the District is described as:
A fun-filled and educational day for families, couples, and singles of all ages featuring free beginner Ukulele lessons, advanced classes for experienced Ukulele players, continuous music by world class ukulele/ acoustic groups along the streets, face painting; food, drink and merchandise vendors, great restaurants and an exciting early evening concert. Bring your ukulele and strum along!
Come on down, bring a ukulele, and catch me for some good ol’ accordion-and-ukulele rock and roll!
Last Sunday, Anitra and I went on the annual Old Seminole Heights tour, which gave us the chance to see the insides of some of the houses in our neighborhood. One of the houses on this year’s tour belonged to Susan, our neighbor across the street, whose house turns 100 this year. She and her tour assistants dressed up in 1920s clothing and a local antique car enthusiast brought his 1916 Ford Model T to display in her driveway.
I was chatting with the car’s owner for a little while when he asked if Anitra and I would like to sit in the car. We’ve seen Model Ts before, but we’ve never been in one, so of course we said “yes!”
