WE JUST RETURNED FROM TAMPA WHERE WE WERE HIRED TO PLAY FOR A PRE-SUPER BOWL PARTY. WE WERE HIRED BY A GROUP OF 4 GUYS, THEY PAID ALL AND I MEAN ALL EXPENSES. MY ONLY EXPENDITURE WAS 3.00 FOR A HOT DOG FROM A STREET VENDOR.WE WERE IN TAMPA FOR 3 DAYS, AND OUR TOTAL PLAYING TIME WAS ROUGHLY 3 HOURS. (AT NYES WE WOULD JUST BE WARMING UP). IT WAS NICE TO LEAVE -3 BELOW AND SPEND SOME TIME AT 75 ABOVE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WOULD LIKE US BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
