Congratulations & GREAT News!!! Pinellas County Passed Countywide Domestic Partnership Registry. This is an equality fairness law for 100% of the county’s residents. And we thought Hillsborough County was the more progressive and politically creative equality based political body of commissioners!!! Heck, they can’t even bring up or talk about LGBT issues in the board chambers

The wondrous international sellout smash musical of Oz before Dorothy, Wicked is playing at the Straz Performing Arts Center for 3 short weeks. Mike Hammond has 2 friends that are part of the traveling cast. Along with a small group of friends, he was treated to a private backstage tour and a meet and greet with the cast members.
More High Rise condos are being planned along the Hillsborough River in the Tampa Downtown Arts Center area. This is another major change to Tampa’s downtown residential district: a proposed 36 story residential multi-complex with shops and grocery store near the museums and the Straz Performing Art Center. More people residing downtown will mean more new events for downtown. A Win Win for us all!!!
Bear’d Out
The doors opened to the, now famous, Bear Night Out at the lower bar at Ybor Social. The overwhelming number of Bears, Cubs, Otters, and friends came from as far away as Ft. Lauderdale, Melbourne and Orlando. A variety of special, on stage performances made for a wild party night. Bartenders Vinny, Wolfy, and staff had the drinks flowing and got the crowd in the ‘out of hibernation’ mood. An after rumble continued for the large gathering right next door at the Ybor Resort & Spa. It was great to see friends that haven’t been to GaYBOR for some time.
The 2nd Saturday is Bear Night Out at the Ybor Social. Grrrrr! We’ll see you there
