The Devolution of Gasparilla

Arrrrrr.... Tampa loves a parade. After Ye Mystic Krewe storms the city aboard the Jose Gaspar, thousands of pirates tear through the city on floats. It starts out harmless enough, but as the day progresses, and more alcohol is consumed, it's amazing to see what people will do for beads. My job for the day was to stay off the main parade route, and comb the edges for those unexpected moments. It was people-watching at its finest. And I had a blast.
