Hurricane Wilma Update:
 Fantasy Fest has been rescheduled to December 7th through 11th, 2005, with the parade taking place on the evening of the 10th. ~ Dave

A letter from the parade coordinator:

Dear Parade Ambassadors and Entrants --

   Parade participants are unstoppable.  The parade participants who bring us a glittering night of ecstasy during Fantasy Fest wanted to entertain keys locals this weekend.  They banded together to offer an impromptu parade --  not Fantasy Fest -- but Wilma¹s Wake.

Unfortunately,  City Manager Julio Avael has nixed the idea.  He said it would require police assistance and the police department was not in a position to handle it.

It was intended as a morale boost, with no beads,  tossables, or silly string -- nothing to burden Public Works.

Parade  participants were anxious to go for it.  Reports have been flowing in from veteran parade entrants reporting that their house and/or car is trashed, but their floats are okay!  Or that their float or costume entry is ragged and tattered, but suitable for a wake.  In fact, I heard Dave Richard¹s crew worked on their float through the hurricane.  

In any case, we have a few weeks to get ready for the Dec. 10 parade. The official Fantasy Fest relocation program has the new festival at Dec. 7 to 10, the parade being on Saturday the 10th.  More info on meetings, etc. soon.  I have already been getting e-mails from parade people out of town saying they are planning to come down.

Meanwhile, I have set up a thread on my blog for parade entrants who may be looking for a tow vehicle (transportation being severely restricted these days) or who may have a tow vehicle to share.  It can be used as a resource bulletin board for other parade equipment and personnel, too.  Post what you need, contact those who have it.  Leave your contact info in your post.  The blog address is:  www.southofthemainstream.blogspot.com.



Other impromptu events popping up this weekend are: a Southernmost Halloween Impromptu Party (S.H.I.P.)and a La Te Da Fantasy Feast.
   
The S.H.I.P. party is a walk down Duval Saturday, Oct. 29 with stops at 4 p.m. at La Te Da and Hogs Breath at 5 p.m..  At 6 pm. the march goes up Duval, stopping at Ricks, Margaritaville, Green Parrot, Mangoes, Kwest, Aqua, Bobby¹, 801 and Bourbon. At 8 p.m. it happens at Aqua, and Bourbon has a costume contest at 9 p.m.  Art Attack will be doing body painting all day.

Tonight (Thursday) and tomorrow night La Te Da hosts ³The Great Big Fat Fantasy Feast,², from 6 to 10 p.m.  It¹s an all-you-can-eat Italian Buffet with red or white house wine @ $15.

More info later as I get it. --Judi
