Pirates demand your money or your life; women expect both.

Kristen was able to get some VIP tickets for the Gasparilla event and parade, so she invited me along with her mother, father, and best friend. In the previous years I'd always been on the public side of the read. the VIP areas were nice with relatively empty seating, some food and drink, and a lack of drunken people running into you. On the way in we saw the famous Naked Cowboy posing for pictures. The Red Bull flyers were out and the parade was pretty enjoyable, though Kristen of course got the majority of the attention and the motherload of beads that she was collecting to be a part of the 'Relay for Life' event next month for part of the pirate planned theme.
