Andy Warhol, the king of pop art would have turned 96 years old on Aug. 6, but that bitch Tropical Storm Debby caused this birthday party to be postponed from the first Sunday in August to the very last.

Still, a Warhol impersonator will be on site (though no one can beat Conan O’Brien’s version in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”), along with local art inspired by the legend.

Cocktails will be also served in soup cans, just like the ones on display at Manhattan’s Museum of Modern Art. Don’t be shocked if you hear some Velvet Underground playing in the background, either.

There's no cover with RSVP to Andy Warhol's Birthday Pop Art Party at Floridian Social in St. Petersburg on Sunday, Aug. 25. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
