Story: Used to be the doorman there, 1996-97. Hope you're all well. The
website looks great. Got back to the states last year. Currently working
in administration for Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Auspicious moments as a doorman:

1) Carded Mike Alstott when he was already with the Bucs,
down on a bye weekend after a game. He complied, no complaints. Cool guy.

2) Mad Drunken Clown break-up scene with my ex-girlfriend on Halloween.
Tony: "If you didn't work here, I woulda kicked your @** out."

3) 32nd Birthday with Diem, Campbell, Szanti, Minkler and the Seven Seas,
thanks to Tony (I guess somebody cleaned up the sidewalk that night, well
what didn't freeze, at least).

4) Taking out the trash at 3:30AM on Friday nights and having fun with the
folks lining up for Breakfast Club at T.A. Tom's. Then getting in line
with them, then a tailgate, finally getting to sleep during the game.

5) Getting the crap kicked out of me the night before graduation. Came to
with a cop bending over me, inspecting the damage. First words out of my
mouth: "How ya doin?" Boot marks on my scalp, black-eye, etc. Great
graduation photos.
