Plan for it

Comments

  • mêlée (1) generally refers to a disorganized battle fought at abnormally close range with little central control once it starts (2) a confused tumultuous mingling at close quarters

    Back for an encore presentation - the bigger (probably), better (maybe), longer (definitely) Suicide Queen Melee II - February 22-26, 2017. Cash games, tourneys, BBQ, beer, grape soda, and coconuts - come to Florida and join the melee.

    My beach house is on a quiet street in Anna Maria on the Florida gulf coast south of Tampa and north of Sarasota. If you are flying in from out of town, TPA is ~ 50 miles away and SRQ is ~ 20 miles away. There are many small inns, B&B's and rental houses on Anna Maria Island. The zip code to search for hotels is 34216. VRBO or AIRBNB is a good source to search too. My house can sleep up to 8 people - rooms will be reserved for out of town guests. Priority for sleeping space in the house will be given to those who attended the Melee last year, except for Ronoh, who gets the porch.

    If there is enough interest, it would be a good idea to try renting the house next door or across the street from my house. It should be cost effective if spilt between several people. Let me know and I will try to coordinate the rental.

    The venue - my house two blocks from the beach on Anna Maria Island. Parking is very tight - I can fit 3 or 4 cars in the driveway and 5 or 6 in the yard. Street parking is not allowed. Additional parking will be nearby if needed.

  • Be aware I think you could likely go Buffalo to Tampa or Orlando even cheaper.. FYI..
  • What's with the Buffalo love? It's like $337 and the flight isn't direct. Buffalo sucks.

    Detroit doesn't? I got $220. with ITA although it was a day later. Also small carry on case which is big enough for me travelling alone is free. Spirit charges.

    And Spirit really is a cattle car... I did fly Spirit with my wife and 2 checked in bags from Niagara to Ft Lauderdale in April and I think it was like $60. extra.. Plane was a pigsty..
    if Buffalo sucks what is that?
  • Some people have to work so day later is not an option. Spirit sucks but it is cheap. A small bag that fits under your seat is free and since no-one pays for a bag the overhead bins are empty and you can put your bag there anyways.

    You got your wife on a plane? When are we going to Vegas?
