    Any suggestion for music venues in Miami? More generally, what are the hidden gems off the beaten path?
  • Posts: 2,064
    Someone may be able to give you better advice than me because I have not been to Miami in ages, but if you are looking for clubs, just go to South Beach. If you see the Cameo, that's where PJ first played South Florida. It's an old theatre where tons of legendary bands have played. Churchill's hideaway was another club I remembered from back in the day. No clue what's there today as clubs open and close all the time.

    But... chances are you will find something on South Beach.

    If I wasn't already planning a family vacation this summer, I would have been all over taking a week's vacation in Florida & seeing all four shows.

    I can't complain as I'm seeing both Philly & Fenway shows, but a 4 show Florida state road trip would have been fun.

    The seniority aspect isn't lost on me either..... Up in the northeast, my membership only gets me mediocre seats, but when I went to Montreal & Denver, it got me much better seats. I was thinking the FL shows would be similar. Wasn't meant to be though......

    Congrats to the 10c members who call Florida home, I know you've been waiting a long time for these shows.

    Thanks mayne - in terms of insurance I've got it covered... I was checking the site and saw requirements checklist from Enterprise - not sure if it was just a generic list, I contacted Enterprise and spoke two several different reps who gave me different answers lol

    I didn't think it would have been a big deal
    You don't need an international driver's permit as a Canadian to rent a vehicle in the US. You mentioned Enterprise, they are one of more expensive companies. Try to stick with the major companies - I suggest looking into rates from either Budget or Alamo. Check with your credit card provider to see what type of coverage they offer when paying for the rental in full on the card (you can phone and the agent will explain it to you if you're unsure). Be sure to ask if it's primary or secondary coverage though.
    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."

    Not exactly a secret but I scored a Mid Size SUV on Priceline out of Fort Lauderdale for $17 a day for 3 days with fees= $90.99. You can do better with a compact.

    For some reason this is where I thought the preparty was going to be at. I swear it was up for discussion at the very least. Maybe I'm confusing it with another place.

    Thanks a lot, I was shopping around - I managed to obtain a four day compact rental for 100.46 CDN from Enterprise... it was still roughly 16$ cheaper than other major companies and a few bucks more than the likes of Dollar and Fox. I have coverage from BMO which would only cover the rentail car itself, but I had to inquire with my current car insurance provider as well

    thanks alot eh

    Now that's fucking awesome! If they ever did a cover of Maiden i would probably lose my shit right there.

    I've seen Maiden so many times at the Garden going back to the Somewhere In Time tour and the only experience I've enjoyed more then them is Pearl Jam. I get to see them both a few weeks apart and I get giddy thinking about it. Ha!
