The Walt Disney Co. is going to be searching for a new president of ABC News.

Dozens of your favorite bands are slated to perform at this special "anniversary week" concert.

The Subdudes came together in New Orleans back in 1997 for what they thought would be a one-night gig. They enjoyed each other's company so much that they formed the Subdudes. Their rootsy sound is mostly acoustic, with a strong emphasis on songwriting & vocal harmonies. Five albums & roughly a decade later, they split to pursue other avenues in 1996. After a few spinoff projects & a couple reunion gigs, three of the four original members came back together in 2002.

Singer/songwriter Paul Thorn, from Tupelo, MS, is known first and foremost as an amazing storyteller. He can mesmerize an audience using only an acoustic guitar and his voice.

After one of the Center's fun-filled sessions, join the trainer on the dock to shake flippers and say hello to a new dolphin friend. Let them glide under your hand for a backrub. This program is offered on a walk-in basis only.

During this interactive program, a trainer will give a short presentation about dolphin behavior and the importance of play in a dolphin's daily life. Next, you'll go down on the dock, meet a dolphin face to face, and participate in one of the dolphin's playtime sessions.

After watching an exciting behavior session, children will join the trainers on the dock for an up close introduction to the dolphins. Then, they'll kneel and hold the T-shirt over the water while the dolphins paint using the colors chosen. A commemorative photograph will also be available for purchase. If the accompanying adult does not wish to participate fully in the program, then a nominal $10 fee will be charged.

More than 120 works will be showcased, including painted pottery, terracottas, marble and bronze sculpture, and a selection of ancient coins, gold jewelry and glass.

As a new addition to the urban landscape of Tampa and in an attempt to position the museum as a vital participant in the discussion about what makes a great city in the 21st century, the museum is pleased to present The Hidden City.

This exhibit features interior works created by light sculptor Leo Villareal. In addition, the museum will include a video loop of the exterior of the building to provide further context for the understanding and appreciation of Villareal's artistic outlook.

See customs, exotics and special interest vehicles, in addition to 1975-1987 cars and trucks, at this popular Friday night cruise. Mustangs, Corvettes, Monte Carlos and more will grace the brick streets of Old Town. The show cars will be on display starting at 5 pm and the car parade starts at 9 pm. Weather permitting, live rock 'n' roll will be performed on the Main Stage at 7:30 pm.

At this weekly event in Old Town, you'll see Hogs, Choppers, foreign and domestic bikes and more. Bikes start rolling in around 6 pm.

Marathon, Florida Keys – Visitors to the Florida Keys can discover the chowder power and fritter flavor of conch (pronounced conk) during the inaugural weeklong Conchtoberfest 2010, set for Sept. 13-19 in Marathon.

Headlining the weekend’s entertainment is to be Taylor Carson and his blues-inspired rock and folk rhythms. Food and artisan vendor booths, kids’ activities and live entertainment in one of Marathon’s premier locations at Duck Key round out the weekend.

Weekend admission is $5 per person per day, with parking included in the fee. Hours are 4-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19.
