Kathy Griffin's pretty funny - and on Friday, she'll be here with us in Florida. Make your way over to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center in Sarasota for the 8 p.m. show. I have friends who saw her recently and said she's a riot. The entire show is filled with laugh-out-loud humor that leaves you happier at the end than when it started. That's always good, right?

And, if you're going out - why not make a night of it? It wouldn't be right to stop in Sarasota and not enjoy a fabulous meal at Michael's On East. Michael's On East is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. And, now, they've raised their game one better. You can enjoy the fabulous food of Michael's on East right at the Van Wezel! Michael's at the Van Wezel features a multiple-course buffet of all the best parts of the classic Sarasota restaurant. A true show before the show, you'll be glad you followed this fun suggestion for a great night you won't soon forget.
