    If anyone is flying down to Ft Lauderdale and is looking at renting a car for the 4 FL shows get in touch with me prior. I usually have great rental car coupons/codes for Budget & Alamo. I've rented from both at FLL and have never been disappointed.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    "Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

    Anyone been to Harry Potter World? It's going to be the incentive for my wife to come along and attend all FLA shows from cross continent.

    I went a few years ago - the place was incredible.

    Do yourself a favor when your in Miami and staying at SB. Hit up Puerto Sagua for REAL cuban food in a super relaxed atmosphere. The chicken soup is indescribable as is the chicken with white rice and black beans.

    When in Lauderdale I would recommend you stop by Jacks for the best burger in town. They grind fresh brisket and round beef everyday.

    Us tri-state people spend alot of time in south florida during the winter. Throw in PJ and FLA is gonna be the fourth member of the tri-state come April.

    When staying on Singer Island.If you want civilization,higher end resteraunts and more shopping and amenities,exit the island to the north(Toward Palm Beach Gardens and PGA Blvd) not south and west to Riverea Beach (Blue Heron Blvd) and the hood.That whole area is shit.Only time you want to leave from the Blue Heron side is if you are heading to I-95 to go south to the fun areas of west Palm.Look at a map ,see what I'm talking about.

    The north end of the county is the best.(Although a dinner or Drinks on Atlantic Ave in Delray should be a must at least one night)
    If you need any advice PM me.I grew up here and can tell you where and where not to go ,based on what you want to do.

    All I can say about the rumored Florida shows is that I'm happy for the people who live in Florida but it really kind of hurts that in the six years I was stranded down there, they never managed to come to play even ONE show.

    I know. As you say, it was closer to south Alabama.

    I don't mean to whine about it but I'm just being honest about how it feels!

    your sig says they played in 2014??
    Also there was only one Leeds show in 2014.

    I was in Miami in October and loved it. First time in Florida and it was just as mad/weird as I hoped it would be :)

    I'm thinking about doing FtL, Miami and Tampa. Most likely stay by the Miami airport. Can anyone comment how easy it would be to Uber to BB&T and back? From Uber site it looks like a $35ish ride each way.

    I work at a high school in MN and these shows fall on our spring break. I'd imagine some colleges will be on break during this time as well

    Miami show is going to be the easiest. BB&T is out in the middle of nowhere. The Miami Show is in Downtown Miami, therefore lots of stuff within walking distance, and access to our public transportation. And in downtown the trolley and people mover are free!

    Uber is pretty dependable down here. Make sure you leave for the show early because traffic sucks but for 35 each way, you might as well rent a car and have freedom to travel on your own, especially if you are staying at the airport. Honestly I would look into stay in other areas, like downtown, midtown, wynwood. Just avoid 8th street, that is where people go for the hourly rate...lol... unless that is what you are looking for...lol ;)

    It is always tourist season here in Miami...lol... It shouldn't really effect anything, especially since neither show is on the beach. =) I think you should be more worried about all the crazy pearl jam fans! lol

    College spring break is in March but high school sb is in April. It looks like 4 star rooms are creeping up in prices for the miami and lauderdale areas. Even Hollywood rooms are getting high $.
