What Is Everyone Doing In Tampa?

[Reddog]

I have heard of the Wings thing on Sat PM, and the NFL experience but what else is everyone going to do?

Here is a good list of parties and things. Go see if you can find the posts on Roll Call and Who is traveling to Tampa... more thoughts there

Ybor City area - going for the cigars

 

[Hughc]

Aside from the more obvious 'things to do' such as visiting Busch Gardens or the beaches in Clearwater and St Petersburg, here's a list of some parties - many of which none of us would have a chance of getting in to - for those fortunate enough to be in Tampa over the next few days.


I also came across these two links from a Tampa area newspaper that might help with some ideas.

Yeah, I agree. That's why I put the picture with both them of them in it, rather than a picture featuring the newly crowned Ms Kumquat.
