Booze Cruise May 2009
Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by Rob
By Durke Schmidt and Rob Meronek
This is a pretty simple event. We meet up, drink up, get on cruiser boards to the next spot, and repeat all night. This was the first, but definitely not the last Booze Cruise in Tampa, Florida. We started out in Ybor, then went through Channelside, then to The Hub, then bombed the Skypoint parking garage where I live. To the property manager that tried to jump in front of us like a rent a cop: Send me the fine and I'll add a nice tip to it. You know where I live...

![]() Durke's words: The "thumbs up" means either thanks for being cool and giving us some room or thanks for one of the following: Honking, yelling, driving really close to us, or deciding that you were done drinking your beverage and that possibly one of us might have a trash can in our pockets and you were hoping that we could catch it out of your car at 40mph |

![]() Rob's words: My place there is about as big as this elevator. The management loves me living there |
![]() Rob's words: Porpe was one of many of us that ended up in a pile on the pavement. The is the Skypoint parking garage. You need a resident pass to get in there. They should not have given this resident one of those |
