I agree! Loved that I was able to hang out with you guys for a bit here and there in AC, then back to my other friends etc. Very cool. An Ants only area would be pretty sweet

    I liked how the email mentioned two-night stands including SPAC, Alpine, and WPB... nice of them to give the three "power venues" their due credit... and include WPB in there. A lot of people don't give that place the credit it deserves...

    It doesn't deserve credit IMO. If there wasn't an Ants party, no one around here would really care about the place honestly. Who really wants to go to Florida in the dead of summer for a concert with the heat, humidity and such?
