Thinking about going to Gasparilla
Thinking about going to Gasparilla. Never been before and am wondering if its worthwhile to go and looking for tips about how to make the most out of it.
As a cultural event I think it's definitely worth seeing at least once in your life if you're a Floridian. It's a parade so you have a beer, enjoy the displays and the crewes throw stuff at you. I got some Gasparilla-themed coins that were pretty cool. As a cultural event you'll appreciate it more if you learn about the folkloric traditions behind it and there's dress-up afterparties and stuff.
Bring a well-endowed pirate wench with you for maximum beads.
....and some rin up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stanes to pieces wi' hammers, like sae mony road-makers run daft - they say it is to see how the warld was made!
