Follow the fun of Gasparilla in real time!

What's a die-hard Gasparilla fan to do when they can't make it to the big party? Follow it on Twitter or Facebook, of course! We'll be pulling together the best tweets, pictures and videos as the Jose Gasparilla sails up the channel and pirates invade downtown Tampa on Saturday. Check back early and often. And get in on the action by including @TB_Times in your Twitter updates. We'll use the best in our live all-day coverage. [Note: Due to a little glitchiness on the part of Storify, some of these tweets looks old, but they were captured mostly on Saturday as Gasparilla unfolded.]
