This rain is the worst Those damn scooters that are everywhere seem like an accident waiting to happen.
There’s constant fighting over the scooters here. They have new designated parking areas for them. It does make the boardwalk area a bit crowded and dangerous with so much traffic. A couple thousand were impounded during Comicon last week
My office is right on the water at Rocky Point and we were saying what if he did a Richard Kimball and we see him swim up to Whiskey Joes for a cocktail.
taking the kids to children’s parade next weekend. That’s it for me. Probably avoid the area like the plague for real Gasparilla like I’ve done last 10 years or so
Day parade is fun. Have went by boat last 2 years but honestly I’d rather be on Bayshore, especially if there is a house party you can go by.
It was way more fun as a kid. Hanging out on willow underage drinking it’s just way too crowded now and the red necks and white trash have taken it over if I had access to a house on bayshore, I’d be down to hangout and people watch
Saw a handful of titties my first year in 2010. Not any in the past few. However, I've typically stayed at parties off Bayshore or on Davis Island. Haven't experienced the actual parade in a while.
Have some brunch tickets for some spot looking right at the invasion and the parade. House with some friends about 5 blocks away...
Yeah, it isn't Mardi Gras. Don't expect to see boobies everywhere . Gasparilla is really just a drunk fest. It's best enjoyed if you have a party within walking distance of the parade route you can retreat to and wait for the crowds to thin out. Otherwise plan on killing time at a bar/restaurant on Howard
Start early. Get hammered. Hop around to some parties. Don't make too big of a scene and you won't get into any trouble. Pass out at 8PM and don't make any plans on going to bars that night because they're way too packed and charging cover.
Looks like you had to add your own personal touch again to the title, so apparently you do give a fuck.
Ended up at Bern’s Friday night (bar only) after I sent the fatal text “French onion soup?” Bar is a good time.
also if by chance you end up near St. Pete beach and are in need of sushi, Blue Fugu has been my go to for last few months.
If you want to be the grown man dressed like a pirate, go for it. YMKG, kids and sloots are the only ones that get away with being dressed like a pirate
First I’m being told minimal boobs are shown... now, dressing like a pirate is lame... total letdown...
Gasparilla is just a drunk shit show. My buddy lives a block off Bayshore so i might go people watch from his porch but it’s just a pain in the ass driving over. 5 minute drive turns into a 30 minute drive. I would only go if you have a house party otherwise it’s just teenagers and those from Plant City.
? it’s not bourbon street. It’s a parade. Like has been said multiple times, it’s just a drunken shit show. It’s not an event like Mardi Gras. Get away from the immediate area, and life goes on as normal for the rest of the city. brunch and the invasion will be fun. If you are going expecting to see boobs and trade beads for boobs, or be surrounded by people like you, you are going to be disappointed. It’s going to be mostly drunk kids, and rednecks. Plenty of hot chicks mixed in, and you will have fun but idk what you have built up in your head. if you actually want to see the parade, stay downtown. If you want to go to ground zero walk down bayshore.
