Gecko Fest @ Gulfport - It is almost a fairy-tale location. The Florida of our dreams exists, and it owns this weekend. Gulfport is the way Florida used to be, with beach cottages, laid-back beach bars and no condos. That's correct: No condos.. This weekend it celebrates life there and the Geckos that run wild through it.
The parade stages at the Casino and begins at 6:00 PM.
At 6:30, the costume contest.
8:00 PM Street Dance with the Urban Gypsies.
Saturday, Sept 1.

Post! @ Cafe Hey - This cafe was as close as one got to freedom near the Convention Militarized Zone. The kindness of the owner and workers will long be remembered.
