Join me on Friday night for a NEW EVENT at a NEW VENUE!
 Byblos is near the corner of MacDill and Bay to Bay and recently expanded their inside and outside lounge. The setting is perfect for mixing and mingling with plenty of space. Come early for exceptional Mediterranean dining and Belly Dancing. Do you Hookah?
Visit Magnon Jewelers on Thursday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. for a Valentines Day Trunk Event. They will have refreshments & a chance drawing.
Thursday evening, after you purchase your Valentines goodies, stop by the Gasparilla International Film Festival Recruitment Party at the Creative Loafing offices. There should be a great group of folk there.
