7th Ave in Ybor City was closed for the Annual Tree Lighting Party. There were entertainers in costumes, elves with cookies & hot chocolate. the local School band was playing. It was a picture perfect night. There was a light sprinkle of rain. As the tree was turned on the snow machines started to blow snow everywhere. Photos on www.MCFilmFest.com
The Cruise Ship Season has just began again. This week we were driving thru Channelside as a ship was loading. There was a family boarding and dragging their luggage and 4 cases of soda. LOL This reminded me of a time last year. It was a busy Sunday afternoon. A couple came to the balcony and were upset over the loud music inside. I smiled and said that the overture to the Show and is a little loud. They asked what show. I said our G rated Sunday Funday Dray show. They asked “WHAT SHOW!!” I said a drag show, then they asked what kind of show that is 2 or 3 more times. Trying to be PC I answered several times than said “men in dresses.” They were shocked and yelled we want nothing to do with that. I was very polite giving them great service and found out they were going on a cruise (BFD). They had a coupon from a magazine and I applied that. The couple paid in cash, thanked me then left. I walked over to the table and there was a 30 cent tip…OK?? But the best part was… they actually took the ketchup and mustard off the table!! Though to myself… poor couple must be their first cruise and they didn’t think there would be ketchup and mustard onboard. LMAO
