Hey!!! That show was something else - all noise and flash! Is Tampa a contender of the Conv? Hadn't heard. Ybor City! Gasparilla! Manatees! I love the west coast of Florida! Hope that you had a super trip home.
For the RNC Convention, I believe it's down to NYC, New Orleans or Tampa Bay. The RNC came and did a walk through about a week ago, and they really liked sticking their toes in the sand by the lovely Don Cesar Hotel on St. Pete Beach. It'd be a great place to have another FR get together and we are a pirate community after all.
Using my pirate name FV = mercenary maid. Hope I spelled mercenary right.
