there is only one other place in tampa that will make a drink as strong as the hub… which is just the way i like them.

there was an extended amount of hours that i put into the old location due to my job at the time… i loved every minute of the strong drinking and smoke filled hazy air filled some of the best tunes.

For the past 12 years I have met the same people(even thought the Hub moved) at the Hub for Gasparilla, we only see each other once a year, yet we live in Tampa, and its just funny to see the different people that we have broght along each Gasparilla to the Hub!

Come to think of it, the entire Radiohead catalog deserves to be on the anti-playlist. Who wants to be subjected to that misery-loving mopester Thom Yorke while throwing ‘em back at the bar? I say save your disaffected anthems for when you uncork that bottle Bordeaux at home. Some music just wasn’t meant for saloon jukeboxes.

I swear I hear Ring of Fire, Let’s Get it On, Sex Machine and Radiohead (it all sounds alike, so it doesn’t matter what track I say) about a billionty times every time I’m in The Hub. Can those all make the Anti-playlist?

I was once a witness to an extremely heated argument between my fiance and former music writer Scott Harrell. I don’t exactly recall how it began, aside from several too-strong drinks and a conversation about music, but it quickly escalated to the two yelling at each other while the rest of us looked on uncomfortably and tried (unsuccessfully) to intervene.

And yes, the drinks are stronger than a mother fucker; I once ordered a side of cranberry juice to go with my cran and vodka because it was really just vodka with a splash of cranberry juice.

My friend, Kamran, and I are regulars at the Hub…I don’t know if I should be embarrased by that fact or not. Either way, we came up with the great idea that we should have his bachelor party at the Hub, and it should be a bender…a bachelor bender. From 10am till 3am, we’d be throwin’ em back. All his friends could make it because there’d be an open window of 17 hours to catch him there. Probably an open window of 2 hours to catch him there sober. But as the date got nearer, Kamran got cold feet…not to getting married, but to the bachelor bender! His exact words, “Come on, London, I don’t wanna die.” Can you believe that? Ok, ok, in his defense, the way the Hub makes their drinks, it is a real danger…but I’m still up for it. It just takes planning. Who’s with me?
