Guavaween is how they do Halloween in Tampa. It's wild. Every city I've lived in has their own Halloween thing: DC has Georgetown and Baltimore has Fell's Point, but Guavaween on the streets of Ybor City is really something special.
It was more fun to be sober and enjoy the spectacle than be drunk and part of it. More fun to stay alert and puff on your cigar and sidestep the crowds and the puddles of vomit and laugh at the drunks in the pasties and the diapers.
Like most of my life in Florida, when I was living through it, it didn't seem like any big deal at the time, but looking back on it now, I realize it was pretty damn cool.
I bet if you googled it you'd find some good stuff. I would, but I'm at work and all the best sites are blocked.
