    OK… Hum us a Tune
    The year was 1996. Tampa was the host city for the largest to date convention at Tampa Convention Center, the  “GALA Choruses Festival V”. http://galachoruses.org/about/history There were 86 choruses, 23 small ensembles and more than 4,700 singing delegates registered from around the world. Again, this was the largest convention Tampa had ever seen. The Hillsborough County Commission and Tampa City Council fought for this convention and had passed sexual orientation rights in the city and county but the county was wavering!
      We were proud to be the hosts for the OK Gay Men’s Chorus with friend/ director Rev. Franklin Roberts from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We said that the 40 singers and back up band had to sing for their supper! In our back yard we had cooked a huge Cuban Tampa Feast of BBQ Roast Pork, Seafood Paella, black beans, yellow rice, Cuban bread & plantains.
     After the Festive dinner the group serenaded us and 100 of our close friends  in our back yard to a full monumental concert.  Of course we had invited all our neighbors too. The Oklahoma Cowboys had also brought with then a couple of their friends. The friends turned out to be none other than the outlandish Gay comedy singing duo, Romanovsky and Phillips.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanovsky_and_Phillips We had all of their CDs.
    They did a surprise set also to add to the beautiful Tampa night surrey! The guys were the headliners for the big Pride Show the next day!!!
    Tampa had a major Gay Pride event with all the visiting choruses marching in the Tampa Pride Parade. It was like no other Tampa Gay event since.
    A few days after the Festival V had finished in Tampa came some very sad news. The men’s chorus from France left JFK in New York on Flight TWA 800 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWA_Flight_800 . 12 minutes after take off the plane blew up and sank in the Atlantic Ocean. All 230 onboard were killed. This was at the time, the 3rd deadliest airline crash in America.

Guess Who is Reading Dishing!!! Outed…
    “Dishing with Mark & Carrie” is read weekly by 10’s of 1,000’s of people locally, across the nation and around the world. We love it when friends tell us stories about people who read our blog.
    This week a young friend came in and started with saying, “Your not going to believe this.”  His Grandmother in cold weathered Chicago called him and said how good he looked in his pirate costume.
    Surprised he asked where she saw this photo. Grandmother laughed and said in “Dishing with Mark & Carrie” of course!
    Later he found out that he had forwarded a photo of himself in Dishing to his brother. The brother forwarded it to their Grandmother. She then signed up for the weekly newsletter on the web site. The Grandmother went on to say that his Mom reads Dishing too.
    When they come to visit this spring both Grandmother & Mom want to see a drag show in GaYBOR!!!
    Our friend was laughing. OMG what did we start! LOL
    P.S. Hi, Call Out to our loyal weekly readers in Raleigh Freedom Living in North Carolina.
 
Three Cheers for Tampa Police Department
    GaYBOR/Ybor City has become a much safer & fun place to live, work & play. A huge part of this is the improved communications between The Tampa Police Department & local Ybor City businesses.
    There is a facebook page called, “Ybor Watch” https://www.facebook.com/yborcitybusinesswatch?fref=ts  Thanks to Tampa Police Officer Sean Mahabir, we also know not only who is protecting us but how to personally contact them.
