No offense Albert, but I don't know whether Detroit would be considered the East coast.

Would anyone be interested in a Florida show around next September-October. I know it is far off, but if one is held in Florida during the "season" (December-April), the prices become exhorbitant. Holding one next May would be too close to the National Convention, therefore, next Sept or Oct. John B. has offered to help with the show (only he doesn't know it yet-I owe you one, John <g>). If there is any interest, I would consider helping to organize a show in South Folorida, Ft. Lauderdale area, next year. There are a number of gambling boats, Indian casinos (with low stakes poker and slots) and Freeport is only a 20 minute flight. Nassau is only a 40 minute flight, so all of you can lose your money and have a great time.

If any one is interested, please LMK wither on the board or by private email. Lets see what we can do. I would also like to hear from potential dealers, so I know whether there is enough interest to put together a show.
