The Ybor City Shoe Licker
In Ybor City there is a notorious guy called, “Jamie – The Shoe Licker.”  Working the balcony at Hamburger May’s I have personally seen him in action many times. Jamie will walk up to an un expecting person or tourist making eye contact with the persons shoes only. Then he will comment on how nice the shoes are. Jamie then asks to look at the shoes closer and….the next thing you know he is on the ground licking the persons shoes. I have only seen him lick guy’s shoes never woman’s shoes.
Wow what some straight guys do!!! Yes, Jamie says he is a straight dude!
 On Thursday nights he is usually partying at the different clubs in Ybor. I’m not sure if he or a fan made his facebook page.
In the video it’s Jamie.
You just can not make this stuff up!!!

Our HERO!!! Mathieu Stanoch!!!
A major natural gas leak occurred Sat Night in GaYBOR/Ybor City. Hamburger Mary’s and other businesses in Centro Ybor area had to evacuate into the packed night lit streets by the responding Fire and rescue teams. 12 fire units and EMS along with the Tampa Police Dept.secured areas looking for the very flammable leak.
Our HERO, Mathieu S. was in his apartment above La France. He had a headache and laid down to take a nap. Later his neighbor came home and smelled the gas leak. He woke up Mathieu and got him out onto the back balcony.  Mathieu realized the gas source was coming from the laundry room on the second floor across from his apartment. With out thinking about his own well being he dashed back into the building and turned off the gas line. Once back on the balcony he was over come by the gas and was taken by ambulance to Tampa General Hospital. When the firefighters asked if he could walk to the ambulance Mathieu said, “Oh no I have to get something in my apartment first.” They asked what? Mathieu told them coughing that he was,” only in my underwear and needed to get my pants first.” They just put Mathieu on a gurney and headed out!
He was released several hours later. The firefighter smiled and said, “No your not going back in. You look fine they are clean and designer too!” LOL LOL
This could have been a huge disaster in GaYBOR/Ybor City. Thanks to Mathieu’s quick thinking it didn’t happen.
Mathieu, the Tampa Fire Dept and TPD did a great job in what could have been a major disaster in the historic GaYBOR/Ybor area.
Oh what a night!

BIG Changes at MC Film
It has been 24 years of selling movies to the GLBT community. We decided that it is time to say, “Good Bye to our renting and selling eclectic GLBT, classic, Indy & foreign themed DVD movies.”
 We sold our first GLBT VHS Video movies in 1989. We even sold beta tapes that year too!!! LOL LOL Over the years we collected over 10,000 VHS. In 2004  we liquidated most of those VHS Tapes. Our focus was pretty narrow selling and renting GLBT, classic, Indy, Black Box and foreign films. A lot of the movies we have gathered were from small independent studios from around the world. We have recognized as one of the last truly independent movie rental institutions in Tampa Bay and Florida!
Now is the time to move forward again and liquidate ALL our DVD’s. Starting today ALL DVD’s are just $4.99. This is a great time to own your favorite film.
Thank You to our loyal movie customers!
