Sebastian Inlet Fishing Report: December 2010 Captain Sherrie Stovall With colder weather on the way, the flounder bite will continue to be steady. Good numbers of flounder have been caught over the past few weeks, and nothing suggests the bite should slow down. Most of the fish are 3 to 5 lbs. with a few in the 10-lb. range coming up on the rocks. The big doormats should start moving out of the river early in the month during the first or second cold front. Finger mullet and mud minnows seem... [Read more...]

Cape Canaveral Fishing Report: December 2010 By Captain Scott Bussen Last month, I said I had that old familiar feeling of déjà vu. Well, it’s happening again. Only thing is that this time, I don’t think I can call it the same feeling. It seems it’s more like déjà vu in the middle of déjà vu; kinda like looking into two opposing mirrors, or filming a television with the camera in front of the TV. There’s this story about a rabbit hole, but I’m already too dizzy... [Read more...]

American punk bands like the Ramones and Pere Ubu were taking the world by storm by creating not only a new music genre, but delivering it with so much passion, angst, and fervor that the world had no choice but to stand up, take notice, and get in the pit. Ushering in a second wave of political and socially-charged American punk, the... [Read more...]
ALLAN HARRIS World-class singer, guitarist and songwriter Allan Harris is perhaps best known for his interpretations of jazz standards, but his smooth vocals and guitar playing easily cross genres, from jazz and rock to blues. The three-time winner of the New York Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Jazz Vocalist” is Tony Bennett’s favorite singer, and the New York Times’ Stephen Holden has raved about Harris’ “protean talent.” Harris has cultivated a global...

AGENT ORANGE Named after the chemical defoliant so chillingly used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War, Agent Orange were one of a number of bands formed in the highly active “SoCal” hardcore scene of Fullerton, Orange County in the late ’70s.

He was born on the Big Island of Hawaii, but Eric found him on Oahu for my birthday two years ago when he was only six-weeks-old. Uli grew up... [Read more...]

BARTENDER OF THE MONTH: Zandrea Hart of the Red Shoe Bar By Paddy McDrinksey Normally, I’d consider sitting at the Red Shoe Bar as imbibing under my station. But last month, I’d gotten tired of sipping safely within my station or, more often, guzzling below it. With the light fading earlier than usual, and in the spirit of the season, auld Paddy thought he’d throw decorum to the wind to enjoy a bit of the good life and strode through the door. I won’t lie to you. I did feel... [Read more...]
