You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up: Stories of the Suncoast
There are so many stories and tales about the old St. Pete gay resort, Suncoast, that a lot have to be retold. The bear parties at the resort were always over the top. Bears from around the country came to the Suncoast and sold out the resort. These guys sure knew how to party. There were drinking and eating contests and of course a lot of ‘Hey how are you’ greetings. There were also other contests like…how many bears would it take to overflow the huge pool! I think the record was eight guys! The most bacon one could consume in one sitting…24 pounds. Oh yeah, we were there for that one at the resort’s Flamingo Restaurant.
At MC Film we always carried fun things for the bears from XL shirts to XXXL thongs. At one party they invited us to the PRIVATE third floor Bear Black Out Party. We had never been to one before but were told there would be great food and fun. It was about the time that bright fluorescent glow sticks and black light toys were just starting to get popular.
We had flashing buttons on that said “Party!!!” There were two things they forgot to tell us. First, it was that “black out” meant there were no lights on. The second was that everybody was naked!!! In we walked with our flashing button lights on. Flash! Everybody was naked. Flash! Everything went black. I don’t know who was more surprised: the bears (who looked like deer in headlights), or us! Then a little voice came from the group of bears. It was a friend of ours. He said “Uncle Mark, Uncle Carrie, toss that flasher out and join us.”
We headed to the door at mach speeds! LOL LOL
