Celebrate- A tribute to Three Dog Night
Saturday, January 5, 2019 (8pm)
Boca Black Box
8221 Glades Road Suite #10,
Boca Raton, Florida 33434
Box Office: 483.9036
Tickets: bocablackbox.com check goldstar.com for discount tickets

CELEBRATE – A Tribute to Three Dog Night is South Florida’s first Three Dog Night tribute band recreating the timeless songs from one of the world’s most prolific harmony bands best known for more than two dozen top hits from the late 1960s and 1970s including “Celebrate,” “Mama Told Me Not to Come,” “One,” “Eli’s Coming” and “Easy to Be Hard.”
Despite the name’s implication, Three Dog Night was a seven-man band. The focus was on the singers most of the time, but the guys in the band played a huge part in giving the group their top-notch sound. CELEBRATE features Fred Ferrese, John Justice Parker and Fred Moore – talented vocalists backed by professional musicians Steve Rowley on guitar, Robert Viands on keyboards, Ron Esposito on drums and Max Farnbauch on bass.
Join us and step back in time to the heady days of Rock ‘n Roll. You won’t be disappointed!

Puddles Pity Party
Wednesday, February 27, 2019 (8pm)
Parker Playhouse, 707 Northeast 8th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304
Box Office: 954.462.0222
Tickets: parkerplayhouse.com
PRICE $32.50 – $47.50
from parkerplayhouse.com
The “Sad Clown with the Golden Voice” is back with a suitcase full of all-new emotional anthems and plenty of Kleenex. As with any Pity Party performance, it’s not all sadness and longing. Puddles’s set is peppered with a brilliant sense of the absurd, mixing lots of humor with the awkward, tender moments. With more than 180,000 fans on Facebook and over 40 million views on YouTube, including his acclaimed version of Lorde’s “Royals,” Sia’s “Chandelier” and other pop favorites, Puddles Pity Party has toured extensively in the U.S. including multiple sold-out shows at Joe’s Pub in NYC, the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, and the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles.
“His special effect is a textured voice laced with melancholy…What makes him transcend the trope is his vulnerability.” – The New York Times
“It seems like a parody. But when Puddles opens his mouth to sing, it’s beautiful. Operatic.” – The Boston Globe
* Merry Christmas.
One Christmas Eve, Santa was under a lot of stress.
He and Mrs. Claus had just had a fight, it was nearly time to leave and his sleigh wasn’t loaded, and the elves were talking about going on strike.
Then an angel walked into his office and asked, “Hey, Santa, what do you want me to do with this Christmas tree?”
And so was born the tradition of there being an angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Latest Review: 10/2/14
Ming’s Bistro was real good in 2014…Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ recent 2017 Ming’s Bistro dinner was off the chart delicious!
Jeff Eats would be doing Ming’s Bistro a huge disservice by just singling out dishes like its bbq beef ribs ($12.95) or for that matter its sweet & sour chicken ($10.95) for special mention!
Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- this joint’s food absolutely kills!

***** Ming’s Bistro, 1212 Woodward Street, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 898-9672.
Got a real-good Chinese joint for you guys…Ming’s Bistro in Orlando.
Now, Jeff Eats maybe a bit presumptuous here-but I’m thinking… that if you like dim sum, or American Jewish Brooklyn Chinese Food circa 1957, or “real” Chinese food-you’re gonna enjoy Ming’s Bistro.
Just so you know, Ming’s doesn’t have a website to check menu/prices, but trust me, its got a ton of stuff for you guys to eat–all at neighborhood Chinese joint prices.
The joint does have the requisite no frills “décor”-lots of “red signage”- hanging roast pigs and ducks- oil cloth/tablecloths-waitresses who “make” like they don’t understand you, etc.
Anyway,
A recent dinner outing had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple- “trying”- wonton soup, fried shrimp balls, baked bbq pork buns, roast pork fried rice, bbq pork ribs, beef chow fun, sweet & sour chicken, roast duck, fried sesame balls, seafood pan fried noodles, pepper steak, egg custard tart. Everything was right on the money!
Ming’s Bistro is a real good joint to know about. Like it says at the “top” it’s in Orlando-so if you live in that neck of the woods- definitely give it a shot! For you folks from out of the area, the next time you’re doing Disney, Universal, Sea World–skip the chains and do this mom & pop.
Ming’s is open 7 days a week 10:30am-9:30pm.
