Dishing with Mark and Carrie…The Space
The Space
This last weekend was the last of the 2 week performances of “The Laramie Project”, held at the new West Tampa venue, The Space. A reaction of Laramie community residents interviews by a theater group coming to in the Laramie, Wyoming. Community leaders, media and residents fueled their beliefs of the savage beating/murder of gay University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard on October 6, 1998.
The Space have an opportunity to redesign a theater stage for any setting or performance. They have a very nice bar within the space. Arched wooded doorways entrances, wood pieced board walls really accent the open space.
Their mission for the new venue is simple. Not to set any boundaries is to be a cultural force for the Tampa Bay community art scene. Advocating for a diverse voice in genre and new artists expression.
Both original, independent writings plus written published works are on the venue for consideration. This newly opened alternative theatre and theatre groups is a great added art event facility that we can all cheer.

Ancestry.com
One of the most interesting a fun thing we have done is to start a family ancestry search on www.Ancestry.com over the years we have re connected with our families in Europe and learned so many interesting things. A friend of ours in St. Paul Minnesota, who is a member of the Romania Genealogy Society recently was in our home town in Romania. Here she took photos in the cemetery and shared them with us.

You Just Can Not Make This Up
We were at the beach one day watching a group of goofy guys from New Jerseys. How can we tell they are from Jersey you ask. They were wearing socks with their sandals!!! The guys were eating hamburgers and frys. Just then a seagull swooped down and took a french fry. With a very heavy New Jersey accent he yelled…. “Yo did you see what that Fu*king DUCK just did!!!” We all started to laugh and he went on to say “Yo that’s just not Fu*king right!!!”

La Setima or La Septima, 5 Years Ago Ybor News
History and a story that no other community would drag on for a street name. The 2 culprit words that offended many La Setima & La Septima groups which both mean 7 in Spanish. The battle went right from local merchants and YCDC to the top of Tampa’s leadership and Tampa City Council for a crucial vote. What to officially name Ybor City’s 7th Ave?
Well, after 5 years past this month, a major debate had to settle the argument of the so called right way to call the famous “7th Ave Main Street” in Ybor.
Solution? Put both names on all the 7th Ave street signs. So if someone ever asks you why the famed 7th Ave in Ybor has 2 names. Just tell them….a local ethnicity compromise!

The outcry play is based on the 1998 hate crime murder in Laramie, Wyoming, gay college student Matthew Shepherd. The murder was denounced as a hate crime and brought national attention to GLBT community for the lack of hate crime laws in various states, including the murdering state, Wyoming.
