Nick,
i just rebooked my trip to Florida, I will arrive Monday morning April 9, and depart Monday evening April 16. At the moment I have no concrete plans other than I will be staying with my parents in Bradenton. If you set something up that week I will attend. Just keep me posted as my schedule will likely fill in that week as the trip draws closer.
As far as meeting spots I can make some suggestions - I mentioned Motorworks which is a microbrewery with an outdoor terrace, but there is another place I like called Pier 22 on the Manatee River. The food there is very good. Can also meet in Sarasota if it’s easier for you. Let me know.
