Tampa Bay Area SB party, trading, buying, selling, Nerdmeet

We bought a tiny 800sqft condo to house my collection and art studio. We did a lot of refurbishing since it was built in 73. My stuff can't possibly match all the cool stuff that Kingboy D saw in Miami but it's a fun collection. If you guys are willing to come here we can meet at what I call Studio 11 (it's really just Unit 11 but, well, you know...).
It's in Sun City Center in a gated community called King's Point. It's Bay/Gulf-side about halfway between Tampa (north) and Sarasota (south).
I will take your orders for pizza, soft drinks and ice cream. Any other stuffs you need you can bring as well. You can bring stuff to trade or sell if you like.

First SB Nerdmeet is March 16 - arrive and leave anytime between 12noon to 8pm

Please bring toys to show off, too!

Really looking forward to this! I know Scott and I are both shooting for about 3pm. Kevin, how's that work for you?

Jason (bansheebot) will sadly not be coming. Maybe next time though!

I will miss Jason (ce la vie)

Russblue11 has a good idea
Maybe bring a box of your favorite pieces to show and your least favorite to trade

I'm bringing a bagful and an eggful.

I'm at exit 17ish on I-4. Lotsa traffic!

Thanks Linda!!! Had a blast

Photos?

Kevin and I both got some photos of the "show off" table, which I think Scott and Kevin would both agree looked a little pallid compared to Linda's STUNNING collection. No time to get them off my phone at the moment though.

I had a really great time meeting you guys and seeing Scott and Lauren again!

Lauren and I had a great time as well!

Thank you Linda and Lee for having us over to your toy wonderland, complete with refreshments, Pizza and Ice Cream,
and to Kevin and James for the quality company and high level nerdom.

Here is the "Show Off" table:

Hers's the Crew - so happy to have this meeting

Naw, yer just the star of this photo!

Scott's vinyl test pulls

Some smaller trades at the end. Those were more for "show and tell"

I know it's only been a month, but let's do this again! Jason (bansheebot). Mike (sumatra71). Myles (Kingboy D). Terrell (meanmistert). Todd (FLTodd). Guy who lives really close to me but I forgot to ask your first name (2tftw). All of you guys better show up this time.

YEAH GUY WHO LIVES REALLY CLOSE TO JAMES BUT HE FORGOT TO ASK YOUR FIRST NAME, YOU BETTER SHOW UP

Lauren and I would be happy to attend again and are free most Saturdays, with a couple of weeks notice.

OK
How about April 27th or May 4th
Both are Saturdays 3pm to whatever

Pick one

I work 04/27 night so I'd prefer May 4th but I can switch shifts with someone if necessary for the 27th

The 4th will be fine for us as well.

OK
May 4th it is!
Starts at 3 PM
1. Kevin
2. Scott & Lauren
3. Me
4.




If you sign up I will send you directions and gate instructions

Boo, May 4th is no bueno at all for me. We're having our son's 1st birthday party the next day, and I'm going to be completely unavailable all day on Saturday helping my wife do last minute stuff. In fact, Saturdays are pretty much out for me for the foreseeable future. Could we do it on a Sunday (not the 5th)?

I could, but it's really up to Linda's availability
