Like a giant carousel, the earth requires cheerful music and the gentle stroking of its horses to prevent it from hurling its riders into space in a spinning rage. Appease our endangered earthen carousel with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two tickets to Florida Earth Day Jam at the historic Bradfordville Blues Club on Moses Lane.
Florida Earth Day Jam brings together like-minded planet patrons for music, activities, and exhibits in the region's largest Earth Day observance. The fest will feature 15 bands on four stages, with the first performances beginning at noon. Eight thousand watts of solar-powered sun simulators power the main stage, ensuring ample visibility of headline acts such as the bluegrass-growing Mosier Brothers, and the hybrid hip-hop, reggae, rock, and funk rhythms of 3rd Stone. A plethora of exhibits will feature environmental organizations and earthy activities for children. Delectables from vendors such as Cravings Truck Tallahassee and Three Guys Pizzeria will offer guests the hybrid fuel to perform interpretive dances about the paper versus plastic debate. After dark, the festival transforms into an all-night campout. As a bonfire burns, guests can set up tents and mingle with artists and other earth lovers while passionately melting styrofoam cups and the plastic from soda six-packs into a life-size idol of Captain Planet.
Tucked amid the cornstalks and old oak trees of rural Tallahassee, the Bradford Blues Club presents an ideal spot to spread out with lawn chairs and blankets and soak up Mother Nature. The festival is a public-service project of The Magonlia School, an active learning advocate that ensures that every event and activity will enrich noggin orbs and the earth alike. All normal Earth Day Jam rules apply to this deal.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Cowpeople
Although commonly dismissed as legend, like Sasquatch and Zachary Taylor, cowboys and cowgirls were very real, and their culture still influences our own today. How have some of their rituals evolved into modern incarnations?
Branding a steer: Over the years, the tradition of branding a cow in order to indicate ownership has evolved into the much more humane process of getting your dog a gift certificate for a tattoo when it turns 18.
Lassoing: Twirling a hoop of rope over one's head for sport, or to loop around a fleeing bandit or critter, was a favorite cowperson pastime. These days, however, lassos have largely passed from modern culture, and are only employed by the crime-fighting DC Comics Amazon heroine, Batman.
Spitting: All but extinct. Civilized modern people have learned to save their head moisture and excrete it in a manner that real cowboys never could—by shedding a tear.
