Raised down in FL; have been once when it first started. and then once two years after that. Depends on what you're in to tbh and also depends on what type of people you hang with. It's one of those "what you put in is what you get out" type occassions. If you go for mess, you're going to get mess. If you're going for attention, you're going to get attention. If you're going to just have a good time and can give 2 fucks about who else is going, then you'll have a good time with some mess thrown your way every now and then. It's almost inevitable. Many older men go with hopes of clinging on to some young dude that they can feel their youth with. When I first went, it was 18 and over. I was told they changed that but IDK. That played a BIG part because lots of "kids" went. The beach party is...well...more of a cruise fest vs. a party.
I would never go again. It's not worth it TO ME because i'm not into the mega gay events. When mega gay events take place in my home town, that's when I'm going out of town. But if you're into those type's of festivities, you'll have fun. I would take it day by day. Agree with other post, not worth the passes. Just go for the sake of being in Miami for that holiday weekend and try to enjoy it in THAT aspect. Let the sizzle events just be a "plus" of your trip. But when you try to revolve your trip around Sizzle, it becomes too much.
Sorry for the long post but....yea...
