16 hours

Sixteen ****ing hours in the car today

Holy ****

1/10 do not recommend EVER

I'll post some musings from the trip down tomorrow after I wake up from my coma
I told you that **** is no joke. No one ever drive 16 hours in one day. It will make you want to commit suicide.

Yeah done it more times than I care to remember with 2 kids and a wife along for the ride, I think our longest was 19 hours.

Hanging out at HPN's place sounds groovy. I'll bring my Sony Handycam for documenting the ensuing shenanigans. I can also bring some vintage gaming consoles if anyone is interested in some olde-school throwdowns (Atari 2600, NES, SuperNES, etc.).

I'll relist my previous venue recommendations:
In Winter Park: Fiddler's Green (authentic UK food and bar) and several good local java joints within walking distance, Stardust Coffee (across the street from Park Av CD)
Mills 50 district: several fine Vietnamese noodle shoppes, The BART (fancy beers and classic arcade machines)
Waterford Lakes: Vespr coffee shop, more Vietnamese places and other fine eating establishments, Cloak & Blaster gaming pub
Orlando: Gods & Monsters gaming pub/store in Artegon Mall along with a good sushi place (U-Roll), Pom's (hipster-y sandwich/salad/tea place)

Those all sound great. Also there was a vinyl store somewhere that someone mentioned (I don't vinyl, but I appreciate those who do).

Sorry HPN, ya missed the cut off. Only keyboard I have is the HHKB.

And if I can't get a bed in Tampa, maybe we could just do another night in Orlando?

I think that would work; call me today and we can talk it out. Are you thinking of spending the same time in Orlando, just moving it up a day, or spending longer here?

He was talking about Park Ave Cd's

Lineage coffee is also right by there along with Stardust coffee (which I have yet to go to

) and also East End Market which has a few good food places in there as well!

About 10 mins from downtown.

I'm all about trying new non-commercial coffee shoppes and eateries

There's also a small vinyl store beside Pom's restaurant called Retro Records and Tapes on Bumby Av. And of course there's always Rock-n-Roll Heaven on Orange Av in the antique district. My favourite locale for picking up good records is the flea market, believe it or not. They all need a good cleaning when you get them home but you can find some nice rares there. Gotta support the local music establishments!

Ok, so we Orlando peeps (haha, iPhone kept trying to say "perps") need to figure out our plans for at least tomorrow.

Do you guys want to hang out at my place? We could do something like 1-6pm...you can continue to hang out somewhere else but I will need to put my kids down and get the family ready for the week.

Everyone can bring their keyboards and keyboard accouterments, retro games, etc., and play with all that and/or watch NFL.

We could also grill out, my grill is old but it works and probably has one or two sessions left in her.

What say ye?

I'm also fine doing something else if anyone has other suggestions...we have Monday to goof off too.

Monday I say we all meet at Vespr and then plan from there? For tomorrow I'm not sure if I can stay for awhile, but I will try to stop by to just say hi

I haven't made any plans for Nashville yet. If people want to plan without me, that is fine. I can just tag along.

Nashville timing is set, but agenda is not. If you can help in any way with a place to sleep it would be appreciated.

Pls send noodz so you can go.
