Brevard's Got Talent
GREAT! News from Leigh Shannon
Oh My GOD Guys and Gals,
I am going to meet
Dolly Parton! Sorry I am so excited and so just out of my
mind. My partner Joey got a surprise bonus check and he went on
Ebay and won this meeting for me. Here is how it works. Every
Year Dolly Parton opens the grand opening of Dollywood and
we have never been there. So we were scheduled to go there and
see her in the parade and so on. But we knew we would probably
not get to meet her or be very close up.
Well, every year she opens a brand new ride and she actually takes
the first ride with guests. Well, she has this great charity
Imaginary Library that sends a book a week to children in
Tennessee. It has done so much good. Well, They auctioned 56 seats
off for this charity. And Joey bid on them and we WON! We will
get to be in the front at all media events,meet Dolly and have a
picture taken and a promo kit. So you know I will probably be in
the news that week. GAY MAN will NOT let go of Dolly!
LOL! So every cross your fingers that I am able to talk and I do
not blubber on myself.
The weekend was great at Cold Keg. It was Laura's
Birthday, Sharon planned her trip to join the Muslims,
Alexi Leigh was courting her new beau heavily, DJ SPIN
was thinking of moving to Europe, and Miss Tia Mulan was
the guest! Don't miss Roxxy at the Keg this Friday. This
will be her first time! And or course remember to come and win
big bucks and be crowned the most talented person in Brevard
County! Brevards Got Talent starts Friday, April 27th! Any
questions, please let me know or see
http://www.coldkegnightclub.com
or
http://www.leighshannon.com.
Just an Easter Note. Babes In Bonnets will be held Easter weekend
and is always a crowd pleaser. You can find out more from at
http://www.parliamenthouse.com/
or contact Darcel Stevens. It is for charity and WOW those
bonnets!
You all take care! Wish me luck with Dolly!
Til Next Time,
Leigh

St. Pete PRIDE & Watermark
(MC Film is already a sponsor,
what are you waiting for?)
 St.
Pete Pride is Florida’s
Biggest and Best Pride Event…and this year
there are more reasons than ever
to include your business or organization in
the commemorative program.
The 2007 St. Pete Pride Program will be
created by Watermark, Tampa
Bay’s award-winning
GLBT newspaper, and a longtime sponsor of St. Pete Pride.
With a full-time creative staff, Watermark will
introduce sophisticated design
elements to the program.
Watermark editorial staff will contribute
stories and information that will make
the program a more readable keepsake, including: a look
at what makes St.
Petersburg so fabulous; profiles of local residents; a history
of gay St. Pete; a guide
to local businesses, restaurants and attractions; maps
and a complete schedule of
events.
25,000 programs will be printed, an increase
of 5,000 over last year.
Programs will be available by May 31, a full four weeks
before St. Pete Pride.
In addition to previous locations, programs will be available
at each of
Watermark’s more than 400 distributions sites throughout
Tampa Bay, as well as
Orlando and Sarasota.
Programs will also be available at all St. Pete Pride events,
including the parade
and street fair on Saturday, June30 – expected to draw more
than 50,000 people!
Your ad in the 2007 St. Pete Pride Program tells gay and
gay-friendly readers
that you specifically want to do business with them. With a
median household
income of close to $80,000, the Wall Street Journal has
described the GLBT
community as “the dream market.”

It's really
cool when it actually appears.
This is not a joke
and ~ NO ~ Nothing is going to jump out at you!
You have to have an open mind.

The waterclock on southwold pier
2 min 1 sec - Jan 23, 2007
Description: The clock performs every half
hour. Its surprising it ever works in such an exposed
position, but people don't seem too bothered that everything
is perfect as long as the boys pee. It was built by Tim Hunkin
and Will Jackson.
From BH Lewis in Tampa
THIS IS FLORIDA
AND ONLY FLORIDIANS KNOW THIS...
"Down South" means Key West
"Panhandling" means going to Pensacola.
You think no-one over 70 should be allowed to drive.
Flip-flops are everyday wear.
Shoes are for business meetings and church.
No, wait, flip flops are good for church too, unless it's
Easter or Christmas.
Sweet tea can be served at any meal.
An alligator once walked through your neighborhood.
You smirk when a game show's "Grand Prize" is a trip or cruise
to Florida.
You measure distance in minutes.
You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt.
You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.
All the local festivals are named after a fruit.
A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.
You think everyone from a bigger city has a northern accent.
You know the four seasons really are: almost summer, summer,
not summer but really hot, and Christmas.
It's not soda, cola, or pop...its coke, regardless of brand or
flavor, "What kinda coke you want?"
Anything under 95 is just warm.
Anything under 70 is chilly.
You've hosted a hurricane party.
You go to a theme park for an afternoon, and know when to get
on the best rides.
You pass on the right and honk at the elderly.
You understand the futility of exterminating cockroaches.
You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Withlacoochee,
Okahumpka and Loxahatchee.
You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat,
than have a boat yourself.
You were 8 before you realized they made houses without pools.
You were 12 when you first met someone who couldn't swim.
You get angry when people say "Florida isn't really part of
the SOUTH"
You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas.
You know what the "stingray shuffle" is, and why it's
important!
Socks are only for bowling
Orange juice from concentrate makes you vomit
Tap water makes you vomit
You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be
over in five minutes
A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the
store, but everything to do with shade.
Your winter coat is made of denim
You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and
mosquito bites
You're younger than thirty but some of your friends are over
65
You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.
You could swim before you could read
You have to drive north to get to The South
You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.
Every other house had blue roofs in 2004-2005
You've gotten out of school early on Halloween to trick or
treat before it got dark
You know that anything under a Category 3 just isn't worth
waking up for.
You dread lovebug season.
You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They
aren't Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Frances...but Charley,
Frances, Ivan and Jeanne.
You know what a snowbird is and you hate them.
You know why flamingos are pink.
You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.
You were twelve before you ever saw snow or you still haven't.
