Like a Cheer’s Bar where everyone knows your name.  We always have a great time at Baxter’s.

 

Parking a semi on 7th Ave 9:30PM on a Friday night! WTF!!! Blocking traffic on 7th Ave. Then the drivers had the nerve to argue with city officials. The police were then called. So much for being a good neighbor in The Historical Ybor City District.  We don’t care how big you think you are this was just plain rude! SHAME ON 7-11

This week is the start of he 1 billion dollar redevelopment of Channel Side. Channel Side drive will be closed from S Jefferson Street. the closure is expected to last for 8 weeks. A BIG  Mark & Carrie TIP. If you are going to the Amalie Arena park in Ybor City and take the TECO Street Car to the arena.

Our goal is to shoot in Dallas, Texas this summer with his amazing Sordid Lives actors!

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Sordid Lives hit the big screen in 2000 and became a huge cult hit phenomenon with its hilarious and authentic exploration of the antics of the residents of Winters, TX. The film was followed by Sordid Lives: The Series, a prequel for LOGO. Now, after years of fans asking for a follow up with these beloved characters, Del Shores has written a sequel, the final chapter in the Sordid Lives saga – A Very Sordid Wedding.

The original film explored the coming out story and how conservative southern families deal with gay family members. The sequel picks up 16 years later and continues the comedic exploration of important issues by addressing marriage equality. The characters audiences fell so in love with have all moved forward to new places, some good, some ridiculous, and as always with this colorful cast – always entertaining.

Del Shores has spent this entire year writing the new script, bringing back all of these beloved characters and carefully shaping what they are each up to after so many years. The story is once again hilarious, touching and addressing an issue affecting LGBT people and their communities and families with Del’s trademark subversive humor and heart.

    This was one of those films that we wanted to see on the big screen but just didn’t make it there. Lucky for us it is on cable this month. This is a “Must See” film! It was so realistic and showed the connection of today with the past. Remember that millions of LGBT people were also killed along with Catholics, gypsy’s and handicapped.

     This film could have been made about your family.
