I've organized many gatherings in South Floirda.. Sometimes - only 4 - 5 people would say that they'll show up for sure and over 20 people ended up showing up...

It's a crazy world..

Let me see what I can set up.
These guys live on the other side of the bay and I want to show them we have fun over here also.
We can also trash my house, no wife, big screen, and a stereo with speakers that I got from the sound man at Ruth Eckard Hall he used for his monitors.
