We spent the day unpacking 3 new lines of HOT Spring Swim wear lines at MC Film (on St Patty’s Day we go by McFilm) Around 4 pm we heard a band playing outside in this more than gorgeous weather. Over at Rock n Sports (changing to new name Blue Dog Bistro) they were hosting a private UCLA Basketball Alumni party. The group asked if it was OK to bring a band. Of course owner Franya said, yes.  You can just imagine the surprise when the Marching Band from UCLA with 50+ band members and 20 cheer leaders showed up. They played and performed beautifully on the 8th Ave Centro Ybor bridge above the streetcars. Our night started off at the newly opened Gay bar, Bradley’s on 7th. The place was packed wall to wall with everybody calling it Mc Bradley’s!!! At Hamburger Mary’s it was special Irish corn beef & cabbage by chef-bartender Brad on the menu. Up on stage was Miss Judy B. Goode dressed as a leprechaun.  The ongoing GaYBOR’s Got Talent with host Carlos Lopez filled Judy’s slot for the evening activities. After dinner everybody danced a jig down 7th Ave and headed to The Social.  Carrie made a joyous toast. “May you all live to 100 years old & may I be the last smiling face you see!”  Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everybody!!
