Saw some Talk about ruling the Pier in St. Pete once more! Is that true? I remember seeing a long list of names , buses, and spots on here in Pete Parties Past.
Is that on another site, or is there an offline listing of bus,bug,things?

Do I need to register just for the Skyway trip? Will there be a sign-up area at the Publix parking lot? Please advise.

I have had 3-years of failed attempts to make it, but this year I am bringing extra duct-tape and oil!

Thanks!
