They are doing a really elaborate Resident Evil (based on the games not the movies) this year along with An American Werewolf in London so I'm really excited about that

that could be cool...i didn't like the zombie thing they did years ago when i went, there weren't many and i was bummed they were too many "safe zones" but i get the liability. last year's silent hill thing did look tempting

Sorry, far too short notice for me. Maybe this weekend? (Arcade Odyssey that is)
IrishNinja
Member
you & urban both, whenever you're down i'll ride out to meet...it's not nearly as far for me
A friend and I (another Gaffer) were talking about checking out Halloween Horror Night this year. We were a little disappointed by it last year, but Cabin and Resident Evil are too awesome to say no to.

Going to Arcade Odyssey tonight. Kind of impromptu, but hey. Leaving at 9PM or so, which probably means a 10PM arrival.

damn, i work at 11 tonight, not sure if i can pull that

Scratch that, friend bailed on me. 
I can go myself, but it's less appealing when you use a 97 cavalier instead of a 2002 Subaru.
I can go myself, but it's less appealing when you use a 97 cavalier instead of a 2002 Subaru.I need to make a trip out to that arcade one of these days. Maybe bring a friend or three. Maybe after I get back from this next trip. Can't make it to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights. I decided to finally take the plunge and get a new(ish?) car this weekend, so there goes any spending money for a while.
On the plus side, I'm definitely going to the Final Fantasy concert in November. Anyone else from here going?
Oh, and how about the console launches? Anyone planning on lining up somewhere?

Don't know if there's any interest, but the Gateway Cinema 4(near Broward & 95) is having a film festival this weekend. May go tomorrow for Dr. Strangelove & The Maltese Falcon.

Hmm, I have car things to do early tomorrow, so Maltese is a no-go. But it looks like Strangelove is at 7. I'll pop a note in the thread if I end up going.
Edit: It's going on all month it looks like. I'll be out on a trip for a week in the middle there, but if you guys want to try to set up a day to meet up, here's the schedule. A lot of good movies if you're into the classics.

HHN will be too far since I live in Clearwater. I ain't driving in traffic for that shit.
If Tampa gaf wants to go to Busch gardens that'd be cool. Would be neat to meet gaffers and get drunk while going through the haunted houses.

We should work out a get-together sometime.

I keep forgetting this thread exists. I'd be down for some sort of Halloween Horror Nights meet up.
If you're looking for food spots hit up the Metro Diner on Hendricks or The French Pantry for some amazing lunch stuff. River City Brewing Company near Friendship Fountain downtown has some pretty good beers, if that's what you're looking for.
Other stuff really depends on what you're interested in doing.

Consensus amongst the Brown community is that there isn't really a good Indian/Bengali restaurant in South Florida. The hole in the walls over in NY easily crush what we got.
According to Google and Yelp, Bombay Darbar is the best you're gonna get. Then again, Google also put Kebab in the top 10, which is sub-par at best (been there a few times over the last 15 years, including just last month!).

Bombay Darbar is alright at best. I went there a little while ago for the first time, and had chicken tikka masala. I'm not much of a food snob, but it wasn't all that great.
If you must have Indian food, I guess that's the one, as I can't think of any better, but ZeroRay is right. As far as I know, there isn't much in the area for good Indian food.

If you're willing to drive a bit, there used to be (probably still is) a fantastic Indian restaurant just west of 95 on Griffin Rd called Royal India. IMO, absolutely fantastic nan with tamarind, those samosa things are delish, and my absolute favorite main dish there, Butter Chicken.

aside: since OT loves tipping, be sure to do that at indian joints out here, my roommates used to work those gigs & told me they're often not paid wages, but only make tips. illegal as hell, but there's not many other options without a work visa.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I went to Miami Beach a few weeks ago...the skank-factor was through the roof. So were the titties. And the ass for that matter. Granted a lot of the ass and titties was pretty fake (some pretty nasty too).
But man is it ghettttooooo the minute you drive out of the area. I doubt I'll be hanging out there a whole lot. I'm going to go to West Palm next week, seems to be a much nicer area overall. Reminds me a lot of where I live in central Florida

Make sure you head over to Sunset Beach... great spearfishing turf, might even get lucky and see a leatherback nest hatch.

I just moved to North Miami/Aventura. Doing the job searching thing as well and it is awful.
Oh and hi everyone, had no idea this thread existed until 5 minutes ago. I have been living in FL for about 2 months now.
