^^^^they have valet parking which is your best bet if you’re concerned.  I regularly park on the street and have had no issues with the neighborhood.    Holiday Inn on South Dale Mabry is a new  hotel in good location.  Roughly 2000 block of Dale Mabry - don’t book on Dale Mabry if hotel is 4000-5000 block there are some that look nice on the internet but are not places you would choose to stay IMO.  Otherwise to  be safe pick something near the airport or downtown and you can’t go wrong.

I've stayed at the Barrymore in downtown. Quick Lyft ride to Johsons.

Try the Marriott Westshore or in that area.  It’s a quick Uber ride and easy to airport. I just went last week and stayed there.  

Thanks for the suggestions! I appreciate it!

I might be in Tampa in a few weeks.  If so, I definitely want to check out Johnson's.  Is nearby parking available?  Is it in a safe part of town? Also, any recommendations for hotels in the area?  Thanks!

When I'm at home in the wintertime, I usually run the heat around 71 or 72 and still have to wear a sweatshirt.  At night I set it at 67.  And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like it's freezing!  I wish I had the ability to sleep with it colder.  I don't know how people can stand it in the 50's!

Madrigal's was great!  I spent a lot of time there, and was at practically all of their private parties in the 90's.

Belated Happy Birthday, Nate!

I was curious about the less successful session ...I think this is it....

I'm a little baffled.  What does Mike Austin have to do with Jaxx Kingston?

Looking forward to it, Oliver!  I booked a room at InnDulge, so I'll see y'all in April!

Met him at the Palm Springs gathering.  He is so nice.... I love his Spanish accent.  Great body..... every inch of it!    

I concur with people mentioning the background music.  It seems there is background music all the time, and all I can hear is the music.  What would be wrong with having dialogue with no music in the background?  (Such as in the old days!)

Belated Happy Birthday, SF westcoaster!  Hope to see you in Palm Springs next spring!

The weekend gatherings were so fun, and hanging around INNdulge was so relaxing.  Just what I needed.  Similar to what nate_sf said.... I think it is about my favorite event of the year.  Thanks to everyone for making it great!

Oz and Bourbon Pub have several dancers on special occasions, such as Mardi Gras and Southern Decadence.  They don't really use a special stage... the dancers just dance on the bars.

I went to the Grabby's in Chicago several years ago.  It was a fun time.

There was rumor of one planning to open up in Nevada a few years ago (where it is legal in some counties), but it never happened.   

It's been a few years since I've been to Mardi Gras.  I'm considering going this year.  Any others considering heading to the Big Easy in February?

So sorry to hear this news.  Oliver -- you are in my thoughts.  I met Epigonos and you a couple years ago at the PS gathering.  I was new to the group, and Epigonos was so cordial and friendly and welcoming.  By the time of my 2nd PS weekend, he seemed like a long-time friend.  As I approach retirement and plan to spend more time in southern California, Epigonos was someone I looked forward to being able to visit.  The world has lost a truly great gentleman.

I really liked Lee Majors in the 6 Million Dollar Man, and also Rock Hudson in McMillan and Wife.  I'm not sure I realized why I liked them at the time though.

I also want to say how much I enjoyed meeting everyone.  Thanks to @Epigonos and @Oliver and @David-SF for the gatherings.  It was also great to join @azdr0710 on the hikes.  They were great!  Can't wait to see everyone again next year!

I thought I was just charged again, but I guess it was a refund rather than a new charge.

Does anyone know what happened to the Adonis Men OnlyFans site?  It says the page is no longer available --- that the link may be broken or the page may have been removed.

I've been to Southern Decadence in New Orleans a couple times.  The first time I felt kind of "square" but went again a few years later and enjoyed it since I knew what to expect.  The bars did have lots of great strippers!

I just made my reservation at INNdulge.  2021 was my first year.  It will be great to see everyone again!

Being a Rum and Coke drinker, I found his opinion on that pretty funny.  Been there, done that!

Diana Ross - Ain't no Mountain High Enough.  I saw her in concert in the 80's.  She was amazing!

What a great weekend! Thanks for the Friday gathering, David, and thanks to Oliver for hosting the Sunday pool party. Epigonos' hors' d'oeuvres were terrific. This newbie had a great time meeting so many people and I look forward to coming back again!
