^ Does that mean you're attending the summit?
The Dali museum is unbelievable. I've been there before they relocated (many years ago), and it was truly unforgettable. Seeing artwork in person is so much more gratifying that seeing it in print. And you just won't believe the size of some of these pieces! Also, Dali's work is whimsical, so it will appeal to all. Even if most art bores you, this won't. Check it out!!!!
Ybor City is also real cool. Maybe we can all meet up there on Friday or Saturday night? The place is know for cigar rolling too. Very cool. We should grab a couple stogies and chill out.
Ed, I have another idea for the summit. Maybe we can do a video review while everyone is there. You can pull out your X-Bomber Big Dai X Blitzkrieg Combo set, and I can bring my beater for transforming. That way, we can show all the transformations without scratching up yours. I think that letting people witness first hand the making of one of your video reviews might be fun.

Most likely, still looking for a cheap flight.
The Castle in Ybor is our preferred spot, it's a goth/fetish club. Great music and really friendly atmosphere. Was just there last week, and miss it already.

^ Kool! Now I'm curious what you had in mind. The Castle in Ybor is our preferred spot, it's a goth/fetish club. Great music and really friendly atmosphere. Was just there last week, and miss it already. I haven't been there in a while, so I don't know this particular club (I imagine that they probably come and go with regularity). But my wife used to frequent some pretty "out there" clubs in this area back in the day and brought me to one or two several years ago. I think most change venues each night of the week too, no?

The Castle has been there for 14 years I think. It is always a good time, especially if you like EBM synthpop and futurepop music.

Ok, looks like plans are firming up and I'll be there. Thanks for the invite! I'll be staying over on the east coast in Pt.St.Lucie with friends and drive across the lovely penninsula of Florida 3.5 hrs. to Ed's, lol. Hey, same distance I drive to the Boston Summit, so all good. Weee!

AWESOME!!
When are you coming in and how long are you staying in the area? I'm a little over an hour south of you. If you are coming in early or staying into the following week, you can make the trip south to me also, if interested.
Also, check your PMs.
