The annual pre Tampa PRIDE meeting with Mayor Bob Buckhorn went GREAT again. This will be the last time that Bob will be in the Tampa PRIDE Parade as Mayor. His last days in office are right after PRIDE 2019. THREE CHEERS to Mayor Bob Buckhorn for all his SUPPORT!!!!

Subject: Sunday T-Dance
M&C,
How have y’all been doing? How’s the Plantation coming along?
I’ve been traveling a ton for work & haven’t had a opportunity to DJ in quite awhile. But this weekend I’ll be the DJ for the Sunday T-Dance on the Hurricane Rooftop 4-8pm. The weather looks like it’s going to be perfect, mid-70’s & mostly sunny. The view from the rooftop is great, a beautiful view of Pass-a-Grille Beach & the Gulf, plus unforgettable sunsets!
Was hoping y’all could make it & if possible fire it out to the masses on Dishing with Mark & Carrie. I believe I sent it to via invite on FB. If you need something else, let me know & I’ll have Russ get you it.
Hope to see y’all Sunday,
Chris (DjCK) & Dan

You Just Can Not make This Up
Carrie was at the Tampa Zoo doing some business. When he returned to the van Carrie realized that he had locked the keys inside. He called AAA and was a 1-2 hour wait. Just then Former Tampa Polce Chief gave him a call about upcoming Pride Zoo La event and told her he accidentally locked himself out of van at the zoo and was waiting for AAA. Surprised in 3 minutes Jane appeared at the parking lot. No problem and door was opened.

Hamburger Mary’s Bar & Grille Tampa
It is with great regret that Kurt King and Brian DeChane must announce that tonight will be the last day/night that Hamburger Mary’s Bar and Grill and Hamburger Mary’s Pub House in Ybor City will be open. We, along with our Management Team and dedicated staff, have done our best to keep Mary’s doors open for nine years, but the latest challenge over the last couple of weeks has proven to be too much to overcome. It was our pleasure to serve the entire community whether it was a safe place to come and enjoy a meal amongst friends or a place to hold your community fundraisers.
We are proud of our staff and greatly appreciate all they have done over the years. We wish to thank our customers and the full Ybor/Tampa community for all of your support. If you wish to come out to Mary’s tonight to show your support to Mary’s fabulous staff, we are sure they will appreciate it.
Best Regards,
Kurt and Brian
And the entire Staff of Hamburger Mary’s Tampa.
Remember! Eat, Drink and BE Mary!

Last night at Bradley’s on 7th was our annual turnabout Fund Raiser for charity, SSL’s Got Talent. The evening was outstanding, with tons of fun and over $1,000 in raffle prizes. Here’s the 2018-19 Royal Court: Mr. SSL is Jenny Jones from Thunder D; Miss SSL finishers: 2nd runner up is Adam Sparks from Benchwarmers; 1st runner up is Steven Meyers from Shade; and winner is Rony Melghem from Jokers. Also competing were first timers Andrew Pruss from Metro Chefs and Jonathon Coppola from Woofpack. In addition, 8 teams made their $200+ recommendations: Aces, Dog Pound, Dynasty, Krewe, Morning Wood, Pitch Slapped, Starlets, & Veritas.
We estimate the total raised to be over $9,000 (a couple of pledges are coming in this week), $1,800 for each of our 5 charities. This is almost double what we hoped for!
We’d like to extend thanks to league sponsor Bradley’s on 7th for allowing us to stage our event and for their generous donations. Also thanks go out to league sponsor Hamburger Mary’s for their generous donations. Thanks also to League sponsor and community partner St Pete Pride for a generous prize package to multiple events including their upcoming Red & Green Party. And final thanks to community partner Tampa Pride who also donated a prize package including 2 tickets to the upcoming kickoff party Pride-Zoo-La!
And as always, thanks to our special guest Miss Joey Brooks!
