Welcome to a very special, spook-tacular edition of Kevin’s Korner. This week, as we get our costumes ready, our tricks perfected and our tolerance for candy pushed to its peak. Plus, I have some great movie news, including scary tale involving a Spider-Man villain, the newest film from the Broken Lizard crew, and so much more. So, grab some candy corn and read on. And have a great (and safe) Halloween!
1. Bay area faves Modern Skirts — who actually hail from Athens, Ga. — stage a CD release party for their new album, All of us in Our Night (pictured at right), at Crowbar on Friday night.
2. Two bike-friendly events are held Saturday — the Share the Road Ride in the morning and afterwards, a Bicycle Bash by the Bay in the afternoon.
3. West Tampa Center for the Arts stages Art-Oberfest, a one-night art show of emerging and established artists as well as a fundraiser for the West Tampa Council on Art, Culture and History. Guests enjoy live music, food, beer and wine from 6 to 10 p.m. this Friday.
4. As if we haven’t already pimped it enough — the Fourth Annual International BeerFest lands at Jannus Landing this Saturday night. All you can drink beer samples for $35 in advance/$50 at the door.
5. The Rays somehow managed to lose the game that would have put them in the World Series this past Thursday night, which means game six takes place at the Trop on Saturday. Good luck getting tickets; if you can’t manage, the game airs on TBS at 8 p.m.
