tampa harbor
Okay, I've written off trying to do work today. To paraphrase the saying, "why do today what you can do tomorrow?" I suppose I'll come in on Sunday to catch up - not a major concern especially since football season is over.
Im attaching a picture of Tampa Harbor. There is no significant reason for this other than the fact that I was just there over the weekend. Unfortunately, the weather wasnt much better than what we were experiencing here in NY.
I lived in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale for nearly 13 years, but on rare occasion ever made it to the "Left Coast." I've been to Tampa twice, in fact: once for a weekend at Busch Gardens, and then later for the Florida Bar Exam.
Although the city is ideally located, its really quite run down. It seems much more like "the south" than Miami or Ft. Lauderdale (which is far more like NY than Florida at times - personality-wise).
Our trip to Tampa was perfectly aligned with the Gasparilla Night Parade. I've been explaining it around here as "Tampa's version of Mardi Gras." Although it was entertaining, most of the weekend was spent in crappy clubs and strip clubs.
I went along with two of my friends - one of which is identically like me and would much rather enjoy hanging out in a cool bar. The other friend, a close friend from law school and a person I consider 1 of my 2 best friends, is a "club" type of guy always on the prowl to try to meet women. He also loves strip clubs. As any heterosexual man, I enjoy my strip clubs -- but I just get bored after about 15 minutes. I guess its cause Im so frugal.
Anyways, we went to the "World Famous Mons Venus" club. I dont quite know why its so famous. Its about 800 square feet (i.e. tiny) has no private rooms, and does NOT serve alcohol. The clubs in South Florida are far superior to those and even many clubs in Vegas. They attract a diversity of guests, including a healty compendium of guests that are women.
I dont want to come off as a strip club connoisseur, I guess spending all that time w/ my law school best friend has made me a de facto expert of sorts.
If I go back, I'll be sure to only take along the "other best friend" and also do my best to visit tampa's suburbs (?) including St. Petersburg.
Incidentally, the highlight of my trip was eating at a fabulous barbecue stand called First Choice BBQ. Its located at 10113 Adamo Drive in Brandon, FL (suburb of Tampa). BBQ is one of my favorite foods (up there with sushi and great indian food). I enjoy a smoky meat not lathered in sauce. First Choice did a fine job and I rank it as my third favorite BBQ place behind Fat Matt's (Atlanta) and Shorty's (Miami and Davie, FL).
