Thank you!

I am really glad to see everybody jumping on this!! Very cool.

Tampa and Nashville seem to be the front runners. So, I am going to see if there are any venues, sponsors and the whole nine yards that are willing to have all of us play. The more people I know that will show the easirer it is to pitch.

Friday I want all of us to have an awesome time. Meet each other, put faces with names and all party together.

Saturday, I want to put on one helluva show, get nutty.

Sunday- see who makes the coconut telegraph!

Jannus Landing is a very cool venue...

I may have a contact that works for the city of St. Pete...the mayor...another idea is outside across from The Vinoy by The Pier...

Top right pic is downtown St. Pete...bottom pic is The Vinoy

It's right across the water from

But Nashville would work too...

If you pitch it to the Tampa Bay Parrot Head club... I would bet there will be several peeps who come out... there were a few hundred for the last Sunny Jim show.... I am not a member anymore but its an idea. Maybe they could come for the show... and here on BN we could still get a group rate for the weekend hotel.

I am not sure of the dates you are thinking...however keep in mind Late April, May and early Jun .... will be your cheapest rates on lodging.... February / March is highest....

There is a Hilton Hotel large enough to accomidate a group just south of the Palm Palvillion.... ON THE BEACH. I have been to numerous functions there over the years.
The Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort hotel overlooks the picturesque Gulf of Mexico and sits on 10 beautiful acres of white sandy beach in Clearwater Beach, FL. This Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort hotel is just a short drive from both the Tampa International and the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airports.

Clearwater Beach, FL has numerous attractions and activities to involve yourself in such as the Salvador Dali Museum, Florida & Clearwater Aquarium, Busch Gardens, Harborview Center, the Bluejays, Phillies and Yankees training camp, Tropicana Field (Home of the MLB Devil Rays), St. Pete Times Forum (Home of the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning), and Raymond James Stadium (Home of the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers plus the annual Outback Bowl). The Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort hotel is just minutes from downtown Tampa, FL, Ybor City, FL and St. Petersburg, FL. Whatever your festivity, relax and enjoy as we are the only resort hotel on Clearwater Beach that will serve you your desire of food or drink while you are unwinding beachside.

The guest rooms at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort hotel are luxuriously appointed with room amenities that include a morning newspaper, coffee maker with gourmet coffee and tea as well as up-to-the-minute technology such as in room safes, dual line telephones with speakerphone and high-speed internet access (Wayport), which is complimentary for all of our HHonors guests.

It sounds like we have city determined, although a date is TBD, how about we do a charity event of some sort as well. It does not have to be anything extravagant, but maybe some sort of fundraiser for a local charity, maybe with a little help from the local PH club. NOT that I believe we will be searching for activities, but I thought it would be a noteworthy gesture and garnish some publicity as well. Just a thought.

Partying with a purpose is all good, however:

For charity to benefit, excess cost would have to be built in... unless you're just talking about attempting to get donations for raffles or something.

I guess I should clarify, I think we should do something charitable while we are there. I'm not trying to incur any additional expense, maybe we just donate our time somewhere for a little while. A couple hours in the morning or early afternoon on Saturday.
