ATTN: Florida Models and Photographers
Ok, I stuck my big keyboard in my mouth wondering why no gathering of MM in Florida.. Extreme volunteered me to organize.. Thanks... First beers on you, Herb!! I'm thinking the 2nd weekend in September, alt date in October in the event a hurricane wants to crash the party, in Ybor City which is in the Tampa Bay area.. Any input from the Tampa area guys and girls of a place is appreciated, given I'm in Sarasota. Ideas have been given, but more are welcome.. Given Florida is a large state, how many of you folks would make the trip?? Would like to have an idea of who/how many would show up before going to alot of trouble for just me Herb and Doug to show up!! :-) Or, if people have a better city to have it in.. So flood me with ideas and yay or nay's... And Tyler, you have to be master of ceremonies. Afterall, this IS you circus!! LOL!!! Jul 22 05 08:27 pm Link Sounds good to me. Jul 22 05 08:41 pm Link Ybor sounds good. Jul 22 05 08:44 pm Link Ybor is close to Tyler, right? It's about 30 minutes from me, so count me in. I owe you at least one beer Wolife! Jul 22 05 08:46 pm Link Well you get off easy Xtreme.....its about 3 1/2 hrs. from me....LOL...and I don't even drink beer !! Jul 22 05 08:50 pm Link ybor..wheres that?..sounds like a joke name.. Jul 22 05 08:50 pm Link It's about an hour from me, but with that much notice I'd still be interested. Other than that, my only thought is somewhere that's not too noisy and obnoxious like a club would be. Jul 22 05 08:51 pm Link Posted by Tim Downin: Agreed Tim, a club would downgrade the classiness of all us mayhemites!!!! Jul 22 05 08:54 pm Link Ok this is good.. Herb will pay his debt, Tim, TampabayPhotos and Mike are all in, Doug, we'll mapquest you the proof about Ybor and lovely Lisa..... Knowing what a drive you would have, I'm sure many a photographer would volunteer to let you stay over; if for any other reason, just to shoot with ya the next morn...... ;-) But there's a helluva lot more FL shooters and posers!! So lets get a count!!! Who's in folks???? Jul 22 05 09:22 pm Link i'll go if i get to keep lisa.... Jul 22 05 09:24 pm Link I'd do anything to get outta this city (Tallahassee). And from where I'm standing, Tampa sounds really good right now. So count me in. Jul 22 05 09:27 pm Link Posted by Doug Swinskey: As long as you share her at the party!! Jul 22 05 09:31 pm Link I'll be there. By the way, this club won't have metal detectors will it ? Robert Jul 22 05 09:48 pm Link Posted by U240Robert: Place not picked yet, but should we be worried that you're worried about metal detectors?? :-) Jul 22 05 09:50 pm Link Posted by Doug Swinskey: Ybor City (pronounced E-bore), an older industrial area which was revitalized as a nightclub / entertainment district and is a popular attraction in the Tampa Bay area. Jul 22 05 09:57 pm Link Posted by Keith aka Wolfie: Posted by U240Robert: Place not picked yet, but should we be worried that you're worried about metal detectors?? :-) Yeah, I know a bit about Yabba city, I mean Ybor city. What type of place you looking for - place that serves brewskies ? food ? Jul 22 05 10:01 pm Link Hi I am in ...I think that would be cool Jul 22 05 10:06 pm Link Posted by Keith aka Wolfie: Posted by U240Robert: Place not picked yet, but should we be worried that you're worried about metal detectors?? :-) Umm, hadn't thought about that, I may have metal detector issues too... Jul 22 05 10:06 pm Link Party in Ybor!

Kinda like San Diego's 'Gaslamp District' or 'Old Town Pasadena', but in Florida rather than in California. I think Doug's studio is in a historic district like that. What a coinky dink. actually my studio is in historic "ybor heights"..that just means north of centro by a few blocks... Jul 22 05 10:42 pm Link i will drive the 3 and 1/2 hours it takes to hang witchu guys! count me in! Jul 22 05 10:48 pm Link i'll go if i get to keep lisa and mya....

Jul 23 05 08:20 am Link LOL @ Doug ;o) Jul 23 05 08:32 am Link This get together's an awesome and welcome idea. The date doesn't work for me, but otherwise I'd plan to attend. As was said before - since FL is such a long state - it may be nice to have these set up in a couple of locations (i.e., down here in SoFla). Thanks for jump starting this. I'm sure it'll be lots of fun. Jul 23 05 08:47 am Link I'm down with it.....Ybor is only ten minutos away. So the date set for 9/2/05? Rik Jul 23 05 01:15 pm Link Posted by Rik Bowman: No, the 10th or 11th, most likely the 10th.. The 2nd is Labor day weekend.. I'm thinking people will be out of town, have company and the such..
