Back at it again from the Tampa Bay WaVE studios in Downtown Tampa, Collin Sherwin and Brock Bjorn discuss all the events that are happening this weekend. #GasparillaSZN continues with the Sant’ Yago Knight Parade 2018 and we go over what to expect and the do's and don't do's of the traditional night spectacle. Make sure to get there early and have a good time in beautiful Ybor City!

We talk about the opening of the Bay Area Renaissance Festival and the seven exciting weeks of 16th Century themed events, special entertainment, food and drink at MOSI in North Tampa. We also get you ready for Valentine's Day and the various special events around town to celebrate a romantic evening with your loved one or have a toast to being single and ready to mingle. There's plenty to do in the 813area and we are here to be your pod guides on the who, the what and the where!

Collin and Brock also invite Gracie Stemmer and Allison Barkley (14:00) to discuss the fourth annual Tampa Bay Startup Week and all of the opportunities for local entrepreneurs in both Tampa and St. Petersburg. We discuss the various tracks including marketing, cyber-security, IoT, hospitality, fashion and much more.
