'Professional' punk rockers pour one out for benefit

Sarasota Young Professionals members Elise Lipoff and Frank Maggio can check black lipstick, mullets and tongue studs off their bucket list, after flaunting rock star-glam looks at the Celebrity Guest Bartender Showdown Thursday, Aug. 6, at the Shamrock Pub. The duo raised approximately $350 for Big Brother Big Sisters of the Sun Coast.

“Our hook was having a ‘Guitar Hero’ and ‘Rock Band’ competition to keep everyone entertained,” Lipoff said. “Just in case Frank’s eyeliner wore off, someone or something had to do the entertaining.”

Sarasota Young Professionals members showed up early to get their drink on and indulge in a bit of Guitar Hero and Rock Band Battle Royale.
