There was big news this week will the sale of the Kress Building in Tampa.  In the 1990’s the Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival rented a ground floor portion for a video cabaret.  The volunteers worked very hard to clean it up. When the water was turned on the pipes broke. There had to be toilets for code so portable blue outhouses were brought in.  They were set up in the back of the huge room. In the front of the room there was a small vendor festival set up. We had one of these booths. One night in the Tampa Theatre was the showing of “Naked Civil Servant” . The film was based on the life of Quinten Crisp (who was a good friend of ours)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Crisp Quinten was here to do a question and answer after the film. He had a few to many cocktails with us and didn’t make it to the question and answer.  TIGLFF was so upset with us!  While we were in the booth a guy walked up and asked “Where is the Restroom” we told him. On his way out…….. he was very upset. Walked up to us and said “I tried 4 of those toilet before I could find one that flushed!! I demand to speak with the person in charge!!! ” He was serious so we sent him to the bar next door to complain. LOL Quinten & us laughed for many years to come about this guy.  http://www.fox13news.com/news/local-news/historic-kress-department-store-building-to-get-makeover
