What you have to know about the
Gasparilla Pirate Fest is that it is ALL ABOUT THE BEADS! The people around us had staked out their site since early in the morning. They had posters at the ready for their favorite radio station, which float duly stopped and made a fuss over them.
But it's ALL ABOUT THE BEADS! And isn't it nice if there are pleasant looking people to throw them at you? There were lots of fun floats from all the usual upscale clubs all trying to outdo each other. So I thought it only appropriate to put the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino float with its skinny baby girls in my blog.
And then I got nabbed by some real pirates! Good thing Rich was there to rescue me from the slobbery beer kisses!! Did I mention beer? The whole parade reeked of beer. It was inescapable. And yet, people were pleasant and tolerant. We hear that's not quite how it gets in Ybor city that very same night, but we had no plans to experience the dark side of the pirate fest...
