Did anyone else go to Gasparilla yesterday? It's one of the best times Tampa has to offer ... here are some of my pics (also posted on skyscraperpage) ... did anyone else take any?

Jen Holloway and Al Rueschel from Baynews 9 in that last one...

Great picture of the sideview of the Marriot.

one of the hottest parties of the year in central florida for sure, along with guavaween. Only thing I noticed the last few years was the amount of "thugs" seemed to increase. Maybe I shoulda just stayed away from the more seedy parts of ybor :D

Knight Parade is the hottest party. Gasparilla - the main parade - is second.

^Agreed. They also need to quit trying to clean it up "for families". That's why they have an entire day of kiddie crap now.

I think 7th Ave is still 7th Ave.

Gasparilla was pretty clean, but had an edge if you were in the right place.

The kids parade is the pids parade.
