We're giving away swag!

You know what we mean -- stuff with our name on it. Only these are brand new items with our new name, Tampa Bay Times. We're changing our name on Jan. 1, and we want you to have some fun and get involved, too. So we're going to be encouraging you to send us photos of yourself reading the Tampa Bay Times in a uniquely Tampa Bay place. Think in front of the Don CeSar, or the University of Tampa's Plant Hall, or the zany Candy Kitchen out on the beach. All you have to do is send your photo to thingstodo@tampabay.com and we'll add them to our Facebook page so others can see them. We'll choose several random people to receive a new T-shirt with the new Tampa Bay Times logo on it. So enjoy your New Year's, and send in those photos.

  • Relax on this Island

    Brace yourself for some bold new flavors and some hot -- Thai hot -- dishes at Thai Island on Davis Islands.

  • Make the most of your toast

    We've got some suggestions and a guide for choosing the right champagne to make that midnight toast go down smoother.

  • Great leaping horses!

    The Royal Lipizzan Stallions have returned to their winter home just south of here. You can watch them up close as they practice their intricate maneuvers.

  • Be a part of the Outback Bowl

    You don't have to go to the game on Jan. 2 to see the bands, players and cheerleaders from Georgia and Michigan State. Beach Day is Friday, and the big parade is Saturday night in Ybor City. Both are free.

  • Twist and shout

    The Isley Brothers are ready to shake it up, baby, at the Club at Treasure Island. Expect lots of dancing on the specially covered swimming pool.

  • One diva-licious night

    The disco ball starts twirling at 7 at the Mahaffey with Gloria Gaynor, Maxine Nightengale and Sister Sledge. Oh yeah, we will survive, heeyyy, eyyy!!

  • A lookahead to 2012

    The new baseball  stadium for the recently renamed Miami Marlins tops the list of coming attractions in Florida. But there are other cool things to look forward to as well.

  • Visit the 'Nina' and 'Pinta'

    Go inside exact replicas of ships that Columbus used to sail the ocean blue in 1492. They're docked a little south of here in Punta Gorda, so it'd make a good short day trip.

  • A new look at Kohl's

    Our Deal Divas discovered great designer pieces that are swoon-worthy and won't blow your budget.

  • A near-perfect eve

    You'll be comfy during the day with highs in the mid-70s, but be sure to wear a wrap if you're headed to outdoor events for New Year's. It's going to drop into the low 50s. And if you've made a resolution to get more exercise, you'll be happy to know there's a bike ride Sunday in St. Petersburg to get you motivated.
