When Bryan Chant, owner of the Queen & I Thai Restauarant called and said he was at the Wat Thai Temple on Palm River Road http://wattampainenglish.com/ , we knew it was going to be a FUN afternoon. If you have never been to Wat Thai Temple on a Sunday for the food festival…. what are you waiting for? As Bryan called & said “Darling I have food from Temple for you… we go to drag show?” YES, YES, YES!!! Sunday FUN-days in GaYBOR are soooo much fun. We started out with the 1PM Drag Brunch and show at Hamburger Mary’s. Bryan’s brother-in-law had just arrived from Laos, it was his first time in Florida & Ybor City too. After the show we stopped for a frozen drink at Centro Canteena. The guy playing guitar was great there. We couldn’t linger long as we were on a mission to say “Hi” to as many friends as possible! Next stop was Bradley’s on 7th. They are now open early every Sunday. When there are football games on it’s a great place to watch with your friends. Collage Ybor is now open on Sundays at 2PM with live bands & fun locals. http://collageybor.com/ . Owners Niely Cornacchia & Shane Zinn are creating tons of fun & magic there. Then it was over to Gaspars Grotto’s Patio to see who was there. The patio was full of friends hanging out listening to great music & their dogs as always! If you want to make new friends just bring your dog here & let your doggie do the introductions!!! We met a group of fun guys who have just moved to Ybor City from Cincinnati, Ohio. Humm…. Ohio the OH state right? As we were leaving a classic 1972 Corvette pulled up. This is GaYBOR so of course we knew the owners! They insisted that we take photos with them & the car. Walking past Liquid Lounge, Miss Judy B Goode & Piano Man Paul Thomas were setting up for their 4 PM Show. Bryan announced he was late for work at The Queen & I Thai Restaurant. We all thought he should just call in sick but he couldn’t because he owns the place!!! http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Queen-I-Thai-Restaurant/137588342932737
So as “Bryan Darling” drove off into the sunset Sunday FUN-day was still going strong. Shows at Hamburger Mary’s, Music at JJ’s & Centro Canteena, Roof Top Party at RISE Sunday & More & More. See you all next week in GaYBOR for Sunday FUN-day!!! . Written by Mark aka “Tea Cup” http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100002255513296 check out Tea Cups new web site www.YborEvents.com
