Florida's Light Side:
700 Frolic on Gay Cruise


Compiled by GayToday

Tampa, Florida--With 700 passengers hailing from 36 states and six nations, the Pillage & Plunder Cruise sailed into the record books amidst DJs, dancing, comedy skits and video star performances.

The cruise, an all-gay voyage benefiting Pride Tampa Bay, returned to Port Manatee on Sunday as 700 exhausted passengers disembarked. The three-night journey from the Tampa area to Key West included performances from Flawless co-star Jackie Beat, Wigstock founder Lady Bunny and Tampa drag legend Joey Brooks, culminating in a "show it all" extravaganza hosted by the infamous Chi Chi LaRue of Rascal Video/Channel One Releasing.

Joining LaRue for the closing show was Spike, Nick Young, Nino Bacci, Sam Crockett, Jason Branch, Blake Harper, Scott Matthews, Logan Reed, Jackson Price and Corey Sommers. DJing for the cruise's two cornerstone parties were Lady Bunny and Brett Henrichsen of MasterBeat.

An exact accounting of the funds that have been raised for Pride Tampa Bay won't be finalized for at least three weeks but they are forecast to exceed $10,000.

Following its recovery from the Pillage & Plunder cruise, the Pride Tampa Bay committee plans to begin working on PrideFest Tampa Bay, scheduled for July 6-8 at various locations throughout Tampa Bay. For information on PrideFest, call (813) 854-8160 or visit www.pridetampabay.com.
