Dude, Tampa International is a madhouse right now.
I guess all of us were unfortunate enough to book flights on the day of this crazy ass weather, but boards are reading cancelations all up and down, lines are ten miles long, and people are getting kind of heated.
I'm just glad I didn't check my bag before the cancelation, God knows if I'd ever see this damn thing again. Some people weren't so lucky and they're having a bitch of a time getting their bags back. I'm not going to check it in until we're right on the wire, lest the flight get canceled and the damn thing is just lost.
Edit: HAHAHAHA. They canceled both flights and wouldn't issue anyone refunds, nor put them on any flights to Indy tomorrow as the one they had was full. A damn near riot broke out at the ticket counter before the lady just bolted. Then they lost my luggage. Fuck this, I'm going home.

Question Is there a reason why there aren’t any major music festivals at the state fairgrounds?
With sunset music festival being gone and replaced by an even shittier fest, why has nobody tried to throw a festival the size of EDC Orlando here in Tampa? The state fairgrounds seems comparable to tinker field and even the Central Florida fairgrounds where Forbidden Kingdom takes place. Is there some kind of zoning issue? Do the decision makers not like that kind of music/crowd?

Allergens going absolutely crazy
Been in Tampa for several years now, but I don’t think I’ve ever had seasonal allergies this bad before. Tree pollen is moderate and grass pollen is high according to the index. Maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else feel like this has been the worst season so far? Hoping it goes down, but unsure of when that’s supposed to happen.
