Tampa Bay Newcomers

‘Bloom where you are Planted’  is the motto of the Tampa Bay Newcomers. The fiery group of fun loving local women had a social outing luncheon this week at Don Vicente Historic Hotel. The August monthly theme, ‘Flappers!”
Over 260 women are members of the social group. I caught a few ladies in the midst of talking to other members over the past months events in their own lives. The 1920 autos displayed were also a big addition to the themed party!
 A little history. Tampa Bay Newcomers was founded in 1952 to extend the hand of friendship for women who are new to the Tampa Bay Area. The club is both a social and community service organization. Monthly luncheons are held throughout the Tampa Bay area and feature local speakers. www.tampabaynewcomers.com

You Just Can Not Make This Up

    FREE Beer?
Last Saturday afternoon was the FSU (Florida State University) bar crawl in GaYBOR/Ybor City. 99% of the huge crowd were fine the other 1% gave us something to laugh about. About 5 PM two FSU “Yaah Who’s” were walking west on 7th ave. Both had their FSU shirts off and tucked into their falling down shorts. With beer belly’s hanging out the pair were full of team spirit and booze. Shouting out go team and ” F” this and “F” that.
As they disappeared down the street a highly bright glossy painted car with huge expensive rims, loud boom boom music & way to expensive paint job drove by. The car stopped in front of NY,NY Pizza. The guys inside the car wanted to impress the girls eating pizza on the street cafe. They squealed the tires in a spin out then broke the cars axle!!! LOL
Blocking traffic the police were called to help. While waiting for the tow truck the police closed the street down and detoured the traffic.  Just when this scene couldn’t get any funnier here come the touting “Yaah Who’s” walking back. This time they were in the middle of the now closed 7th Ave. Still shouting go team & “F” this & “F” that. They actually had a cheap 12 pack of beer under their arms and an open can of beer in the other hand. The 2 FSU guys walked right into the police! LOL LOL
Then they started a fight with the police. I’m sure this was a proud moment for their Mothers! The guys were handcuffed and sat down on the curb waiting for the police pick up wagon.
Now the really funny part….. Just then a couple of Ybor’s homeless guys spotted the 12 packs in the street. The guys ran out and picked up the beer then quickly disappeared. The crowd was cheering the homeless guys.  The handcuffed guys started to yell, “POLICE ; POILCE They are stealing our beer!”
You just can not make this up!!! LOL

GaYBOR Member of the Week

Mike & Scott
Two of the hardest behind the scene workers you will ever find in GaYBOR/Ybor City! The couple have spent many,many hours on this weekend bar crawl. Be sure to thank them when your on it this weekend. We just have one quest for the guys. Why is it always Mike & Scott and not Scott & Mike? Hum… could it be the same reason we are always Mark & Carrie?
Maybe…..Because just like in the movie “Tourch Song Trilogy” , Mark & Mike set down the law years ago & said they are the pretty ones!!! LOL LOL
