Hey Larry, I'm from there but I live in Dallas. I'll make contact with a few friends down there and get a good B&M with a lounge.

I'm looking for a pass to the show as well, as I plan on being there.

If you guys find a good lounge or other smoke-friendly venue, let me know. I'll be there. I don't know the area too well so any suggestions are welcome.

The IPCPR has set up a designated smoking "hospitality suite" in the Compass Room Riverside Building that is equipped with a deck overlooking the River.

There are also multitude of shops in the immediate area as well... if you want me to forward that info I can do it as well.

Hope that helps...

The closer it gets and people finally figure out whether or not they are going, I think that would be a great idea/gesture on your part Cyrann! :applause:
