Amphitheater Reopens Next Weekend


This story is about that other Amphitheater, the one not on Pleasure Island. Something that really has Mannequins fans buzzing is the reopening over in Tampa of the club called Amphitheater. Like a cat, the club has had a number of previous lives and is now returning once again. There are two main factors that make this place special for the Mannequins crowd: 1) Revolving dance floor. Yes, there aren't all that many out there.  This club has one although it's relatively tiny compared to the one in MDP. 2) The club has always been a haven for Dance music and Dance DJ's, something difficult to find in Tampa and in particular in Ybor City.

As you can see from the flyers above, DJ Markus Schulz (D) kicks off the opening weekend next Friday, April 15th followed by DJ Icey (USA) on Saturday, April 16th. I know a lot of Orlando people will be heading over! Great to see them back in business! Now can someone do the same thing for Mannequins?

    Hope to be out there! Sounds like Saturday is going to be a great night... Yeah, it's a drive out to Ybor, but hopefully it will be well worth it! Yes, it's a small dance floor but atleast it's rotating...unlike the one at MDP... DAMN MOUSE!!

    I went ahead and bought my ticket on-line yesterday as I have a suspicion that it's going to reach capacity.
