People are Talking
We had to make a road trip to the newly opened gay club in St. Pete, Enigma! Owner, Ed G. greeted us and told of the planned clubs Grand Opening on June 12th. The fresh paint smelling club is very airy with 2 large bars and a dance floor. Workers were still working on projects while we were there. Unique is that the bar has an open bar street window for outside cafe style enjoyment. A lot of the old familiar faces from Georgie’s are now working at Enigmas. We saw a lot of old friends and familiar faces at the club. Located on Central Ave at 10th Street.
Just down the street is the future Metro Wellness LGBT Welcome Center on Central Ave. Recently 30 Volunteers of Balance Tampa Bay turned out to help with the renovations of the new center and gave a outstanding large $7000 check to the new GLBT Youth and Welcome Center. Stop by during St. Pete Pride for a tour of one of the very few GLBT Welcome Centers in the country. We gave our financial support to this historical and monumental center. Congrats as we welcome the Grand Opening.
The Pour House in Channelside had a great sausage Thursday night with a variety of homemade brats! I being a Wisconsin Boy love brats. The Tampa Bay Sausage Laboratory Company will be at Pour Hous on Thursdays. Check out the 30 types of beer on draft at Pour Hous located on the first floor of Kennedy Grand condos.

You Can Not Make this Up
Miss Joey Brooks has been a good friend of ours for many years. Joey, Miss Ybor City, was even the Very 1st Miss MC Film Festival. Her gold framed photo is in our store today. One Monday we were all 3 off for the day. We thought it would be fun to head for St. Petersburg for the afternoon. Arriving at George’s Alibi, the three of us headed for the outside bar. Our drinks had just arrived when up pops this guy in his 20’s. He was all bubbly excited to see Mark & Carrie from Ybor City. We all started to talk when he says… “I just Love going to Ybor City to see Joey Brooks perform. She is my favorite!!!”
Joey, who was out of drag just smiled turned to us and winked then said, “She is my favorite too.” The young guy went on to say” Joey and me are best friends. I even know all the words to her songs.” He then starts to sing a song. Joey joined in and the poor guy never realized it was Joey.
We didn’t say a word but laughed all the way home.
