This time I won't be staying in Ybor City. We're staying at the Holiday Inn out on Fowler. I'm planning a conference for about 120 people. Some of them are cigar smokers too.

I'm going to turn our guest reception into a herf also. The hotel is setting us up out on their patio and cigar smoking is permitted. I've got a box of cigars to put on the bar for anyone who wants them.

The date is drawing near.
I don't know what I'm looking forward to more - the cigars or the weather.

Ain't gonna lie...today it's mid 80's. First REAL day in a month. Bring a light jacket/sweater/sweatshirt/hoodie, HockeyDad and I are looking forward to showing you our "local" shop. He just expanded and has a widescreen tv leather furniture, did I mention he has a great selection? Why its 2nd only to CI/CBid!

It's been friggin' cold up here. 60's would be a huge improvement, I'd probably explode in 80 degree weather. I also emailed John Spoden. Hopefully I can meet the Bucanero guys while I'm in town. My flight arrives on 21 Feb at 2:30 PM and I fly out on 28 Feb at 10:00 AM. I have a conference reception on Monday but every other night is wide open.

Won't be able to make it that night. I'll be a couple blocks north of Channelside with the family at a Clay Aiken concert.

Tell Johnny and Robert that I missed them again...drat!

The good thing is that there's a new bowling alley/pool hall on the backside of Antonio's! Ybor is a short trolley ride if you get bored.

Count me in, except Friday night. Monday and Thursday aren't great either but can be done.
