St. Pete Pride 2012 is in full swing and there are tons of fun events planned. To see them all visit StPetePride.com . The out on the street promenade and super inviting Street Festival is scheduled for this Saturday, June 30th. The Parade starts at 9 am so plan on being there by 7-8am. You can get your breakfast at the Pancake Breakfast Benefit by Una Voce at MCC King of Peace or other breakfast goodies at Georgie’s Alibi! From a person with a float in many parades… this is also the most overwhelming parade of all the parades. This is always an awesome Gold Star event for Tampa Bay and all of Florida. An anticipated record breaking attendees coming from all over the country will be here. It takes a full years planning with lots of time, energy, volunteers and management team to put such an extraordinary Blue Ribbon Festival in place.
With all that being said… did you know Mark & Carrie were at the very first St. Pete Pride organizational meeting with 14 others at Grand Central Station? Together with Judy B Goode & Paul Thomas, Mark & Carrie hosted the very first St. Pete Pride fundraiser too. We have been in all the Pride Parades in the past & plan on continuing that for the foreseeable future. Happy St. Pete Pride Everybody!!!
You Just Can Not Make this Stuff Up…The names have been changed to protect the innocent!
Several years ago Steve Donahue of G-BAR was telling us that we had to come out on a Sunday Night to hear this new singer. That night she gave a great performance. We remember her over the top costume, but sadly not too many were at her meet & great after her performance. Last year I was going thru a stack of music CD’s on my desk. I opened the CD and to our astonishment it was signed to us! We had totally forgotten it was signed. The person was Lady GaGa…you just cannot make this stuff up!
The Italian Club is a founding member of the GaYBOR District Coalition. Every Friday night you will find a truly authentic Italian Mom’s dinner there. Don’t believe us?
