Just In.... Several rooms are available New Year's Eve at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Ybor City! Just ask for the special MC FILM Rate of $159! OUTBACK Bowl Parade goes right by on 7th Ave New Years Eve!   St. Petersburg at Christmas A quiet Monday night in St. Pete? We don't think so!!! The Annual 'A' ticket Christmas Party was held at the estate of Donald Vanderboegh & Bryan Khan (King & I Restaurant). Cars packed the lawn while inside over 160 guests were treated to a buffet from around the world. Christmas trees in every room & outside too!  A very hot dancer was entertaining  the crowd when all of a sudden the lights went off and in walked Thai Costumed Dancers performing with candles in the palms of their hands. Lights up and in walks Barbara Streisand,  aka Miss Phuctett.  The grand finale brought the house down! Thank You Brian & Donald for another Great Christmas gathering. On the way home we just had to stop by the New Detour ( old Grand Central Station on Central Ave.) to see the Disco Christmas Trees everybody is talking about. We still can't figure out how they do that! Ed & Jake have been as busy as Santa fixing up the old Grand Central Station! You will not believe the new back patio! Be sure and tell Dave, Brad, Kevin & the gang hi from us!     Sonny & Stephen "The Annual Sonny & Stephen Poolside Tea Party" defiantly brought out the pretty St. Pet ladies. Special guest was Blanch! Happy Holidays kids!               A Blizzard hits GaYBOR! The Saturday night theme was "Snowed In" with snow machines causing a snow stir. Up on stage was porn star and now touring singer, Colton Ford. The bar tops had hot sexy men heating up the packed crowd. Across the street at Lounge 714 & The Forge there was some serious Leather action going on! Just where do all these hot men come from? At Flirt the line was out the door trying to get in for the Holiday Show! With hot Mike behind the bar and the sexy Flirt dancers who could ask for more!     Rock-N-Sport Has Moved !!! Everybody's favorite sports bar has moved to the second floor of Centro Ybor! The moving day brought out many old & new friends. We are happy to report that the entire "Fabulous Management & Crew" are still there! "Gay Wing-it  Tuesday's"  are still going strong. The first "Wing it In Party"  in the new space had over 40 people there! Congratulations Franja,  Dean & Staff!     I See Cowboys & Girls The Wild  West Wednesday's are back at G. Bar! Sheriff Michael & Aleta have done a great job bringing the posse out! The round up begins at 7pm. Free Line dancing lessons with DJ Aleta .   T-Dance Sunday's Two great T-Dances on both side of the bay! DJ Cubie is now spinning every Sunday at Detours in St. Pete on Central Ave.  For those of you who missed DJ Greg Anderson on Friday & Sat Night's  at G. Bar, Greg is at  "Spin Sunday's at Amphitheater" . The Amphitheater  is just like a mini Mannequins at Disney's Pleasure Island!

I thought you might want to see it. Rest easy, sleep well my brothers. Know the line has held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell... Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. Of Harrington , Maine . The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.   From David in St. Petersburg   New GaYBOR Area Map Update       G.
