Do It Today: Katy Perry, 'MNF Film Series, James E. Tokley and more
Posted by Leilani Polk on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Every year, mainstream media picks a pop tart to feel the heat of the MTV spotlight, though 2008’s rising star was not a Mickey Mouse Club or American Idol outcast nor was it some annoying bleached-blonde virginity-claiming bombshell.
The latest doc presented in the fundraising WMNF Film Series is Plan Colombia: Cashing in on the Drug War Failure, about the relation between America's "war-on-drugs" in Columbia and how it relates to our country's interest in Columbian oil and natural resources. Screened at two locations: 7 p.m., Tampa Pitcher Show, Tampa, and 7 p.m. at Nova 535 Art Lounge, St. Petersburg. Admission is $8 door.
Black On Black Rhyme concludes its observance of National Poetry Month with the City of Tampa poet laureate, James E. Tokley, who also celebrates his 61st birthday on the occasion. Friends of Tokley, special guests, various area poets and Tokley himself are scheduled to perform readings and give presentations. 9 p.m., Hip Hop Soda Shop, Tampa, $7, 813-244-0535.
The season finale in the Encore Chamber Series features former Florida Orchestra principals Mark Sforzini (bassoon) and Catherine Landmeyer (flute) with Grigorios Zamparas (piano) in a program of works by Debussy, Sforzini, Poulenc, Saint-Saens and Beethoven. 7:30 p.m., Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg, $10-$20, 727-822-359.
Florida Defenders of the Environment (FDE) stages the latest event in its series of "Natural Florida" eco-education programs. This installment celebrates the release of FDE’s CD, Natural Florida: In Word, Image and Deed, which investigates the ways that artists, painters, photographers, musicians and writers represent Florida's natural environments. Special guests include singer/songwriters Cathy DeWitt and Janet Rucker, painter Eleanor Blair, poet Lola Haskins and speaker David White of the Ocean Conservancy. 7 p.m., The Studio@620, St. Petersburg, free admission.
