My fine hometown.
Working harder than any other to entertain its citizens.
Searching the globe for quality amusements and well...
The 2008 Red Bull Flugtag!
The idea here is to push your homemade flying machine off of a 20 foot high ramp and see how far it will fly.
The problem here is that they held the competition in the "freak show state", which ruled out the common sense factor. See, most of the "flying machines" did not even have wings.
Seems that would have made a checklist......somewhere.
The first thing flew like a 100'. It did have wings. They won. Go figure.
After that, the contest was a plunkfest.
42 piece of crap go carts being shoved off a cliff.
That's not entertainment - that's gravity.

Criss Angels Mindfreak!
Even closer to home, Clearwater Beach.
Take this dork-
Handcuff him to a railing on the 3rd floor of hotel -
Set the timer for 4 minutes - then blow up the hotel.
Seemed like a brilliant plan. But it turns out, dork is a magician.
Oh no! Lock pick thingy no worky! Oh no! Took too long, now helicopter ride on roof has to leave him!
The suspense makes it hard to even breathe. Wait, no it's not the suspense, it's the damn dust.
He must be magic. He must have said hocus-pocus. He must have known where the back stair was.

Coheed and Cambria...
After going 0 for 2, they owed me...big. So they lured my friends from NY with the promise of cheap t-shirts, salt water taffy and painted sea shells, - just for me.
You owe me too. ----------------->click
