FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 17th, 2007 
 Grand Central Station Bar & Entertainment Complex, “The Station” & “the platform”… Scheduled to be sold.  Yet, “the show WILL go on” for both prospective owners Ed Waymel & Jake Bogdanovic, currently of Chicago as well as Kris Doubles & Jim Luscombe.  In the months to come Kris Doubles and Jim Luscombe will venture into an exciting new business of commercial land development in St. Petersburg & Tampa Bay, as Ed Waymel & Jake Bogdanovic purchase one of Tampa Bay’s GLBT premier bar and entertainment venues.

The Sale of the building, adjacent lot and the business, Grand Central Station are scheduled to close on May 31st, 2007.  Since April of 2002, the current owners are proud to have helped to make a difference in the Tampa Bay GBLT community!  Equally important to both Kris Doubles and Jim Luscombe has been there involvement in the growth of one of Florida’s “Main Street” designations, “Grand Central District”. This district is also host to the fastest growing PRIDE event in the state of Florida.  The two will continue there relationship, membership & involvement in the district as well as St. Pete Pride and it’s many events.

“As our communities throughout Tampa Bay evolve, it our wish, that the public shows the same level of support for the new owners of “The Station” & “the platform” as you have for us over the past 5 years.” Say’s Kris & Jim.  Ed Waymel & Jake Bogdanovic have very exciting plans to further enhance the business that will remain one of our GLBT communities most popular bar venues.  Both “The Station” & “the platform” will conduct business as usual inclusive of the entire staff and its current structure.

To prevent any rumors or misconceptions, Kris Doubles & Jim Luscombe would like the community to know that this is their first public announcement of intent to sell and will follow up with open discussion with our patrons as this process moves forward.

New Home of Mad Theatre
It's up on the marque at the old  masquerade building/theatre/concert hall. Located on the corner of 7th Ave & 15th Street in Ybor City. Welcome and what a fantastic new home for Mad Theatre! Across the street at Club Czar while some renovations were going on,  a wonderful reminder of the past was uncovered. A sign from Los Novedades.  Many people remember back in school days, when the Spanish class went here. To pass the course you had to order your luch in Spanish. Later this became the El Goya, Tracks then Pleasure Dome.

Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket the funeral of Reverend Jerry Falwell. They say: "WBC will preach at the memorial service of the corpulent false prophet Jerry Falwell, who spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like 'God loves everyone'. There is little doubt that Falwell split Hell wide open the instant he died. The evidence is compelling, overwhelming, and irrefragable."

According to their lovely website, GodHatesAmerica.com,

"1. Falwell was a true Calvinistic Baptist when he was a young preacher in Springfield, Missouri, and sold his soul to Free-Willism (Arminianism) for lucre.

2. Falwell bitterly and viciously attacked WBC because of WBC's faithful Bible preaching -- thereby committing the unpardonable sin -- otherwise known as the sin against the Holy Ghost.

3. Falwell warmly praised Christ-rejecting Jews, pedophile-condoning Catholics, money-grubbing compromisers, practicing fags like Mel White, and backsliders like Billy Graham and Robert Schuler, etc. All for lucre -- making him guilty of their sins."

From the Lambda Car Club International:

A message from LCCI Events

As you may already know, Tulsa, Oklahoma is celebrating its Centennial on June 15-17 by unearthing a buried 1957 Plymouth, among other activities.

There is interest among LCCI members from across the country in attending this event, and many have already made plans. Classic Chassis Car Club-Dallas member Tim Bunkley has made arrangements for a gathering of club members the evening of June 15, IF there is adequate interest.

The plan is to meet at Club 209 (http://www.club209tulsa.com/) following the unveiling ceremony on Friday evening. It is important to RSVP to Tim, no later than Friday, June 1, if you are interested in attending. If there are enough members interested, Club 209 will host a small reception with finger foods and a cash bar.

RSVP to Tim at mailto:Scorpx5@yahoo.com no later than Friday, June 1. Tim will send either a confirmation (with additional information) or cancellation (if there is insufficient interest) on June 3 to those who respond.

There are no other specific planned events for LCCI members, but there are many other things to do in Tulsa during the weekend celebration. For more information, visit http://www.buriedcar.com or http://www.tulsarama.com. There will be both invitational car shows and open car shows in and around Tulsa that weekend.

From Wayne in St. Pete

Unfortunately, I don't get that good of mileage.  Here's a little good news about my favorite beverage:
     Wayne
 
 
A 2006 study by Texas A&M University found that the average American walks about 900 miles per year.

Another study by the American Beer Institute found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, Americans get approximately 41 miles per gallon . . . 

THAT'S NOT BAD AT ALL!
