I’m practically begging here! 🙂 So my band is playing this weekend and next at New World Brewery in Ybor. We play this Saturday the 20th at about 10pm and next Friday the 26th at the same time. To the best of my knowledge both shows are $4. It should be a lot of fun plus New World has some great beer. Last month Broccoli! showed up and we had a great time. More dopers = more fun right? Any takers? ---

I would come if Tampa wasn’t so far away, Pezzy. 🙂 But HEY! If airfare stays this low (it’s $110 round-trip to Tampa from Baltimore right now!) you might get lucky. But I’d probably come for a Dopefest, so I could meet some other folks too. Have a great show! Break a leg! ---

Please don’t ever put “shameless plug” and “Tampa” together like that. There are some sick minds that accidentally read “Tampax” and thought this was an entirely different sort of thread. I’m not naming names, of course. ---

It’s also a shame you don’t check your email, I sent you one a week ago 😉 ---

I can’t believe this. I’ll be at the L.A. Dopefest this weekend. NEXT TIME for sure. I can hear the eyes roll. ---

As long as they are on Saturdays I’ll NEVER be able to make it. Fridays are good though. ---

Because my girlfriend plays piano at the new club in Channelside, Howl at the Moon. They play requests, old and new rock, etc. etc. It is the hot, happening place right now, and it would be a LOT of fun to go for a Dopefest. Friday night would be very good, so that Cyndar can attend. ## O Now Taking Siggestions. ---

We probably go first but I am not 100% What time does howl start picking up? ---

Are you guys still talking about this Saturday, or next Friday? ---

Howl opens at 7 on Friday, and all of the tables are usually filled by 7:30. By 9PM, it is wall to wall, standing room only, with a half hour (or so) wait. It stays that busy until 2:30AM or so. If you let ME order the drinks, they give me the employee rate, i.e. $2-3 instead of $5-6… Katie~ This Friday, if possible, or we can make it next week if you like. Let me know. O ---

Oh, don’t plan around me. I won’t be around this weekend at all, so I’ll definitely miss **Pezpunk** ’s band this Saturday. _But_ he’s got another gig next Friday. Mr. Killdare and I will probably catch that one. ---

I can’t make it on Friday this week. A friend is having a party (w/ keg) and I can’t really miss that 😉 Next week I can, but I have a show Friday so it would have to be afterwards. You are welcome to come out to ybor first. ---

If the birthday dinner for my FIL (in Plant City) wraps up early this Saturday, I _might_ be able to get down to Ybor for the show. Anyone else going to be there this weekend? ---

…where is the New World Brewery? Is it near the Ybor City Brewery that I saw this afternoon from I-4 as we drove to the in-laws’ from the airport? ---

Like, in the section they don’t bother to light! If you park near where you come off of I-4, keep walking down through Ybor and it will be on your left. And, **pez** , you know I’d be there if I didn’t live 1200 miles away. ☹ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shameless-plug-tampa-dopefest-part-deux/87822.md?page=2)
