Well, where do I begin. I am originally from Los Angeles and have recently moved to beauitufl Sarasota. I absolutely love it and am enjoying the process of getting to know where I am. I am curious as to where and when events are held. I am not quite the "burner" yet but I do have many friends involved in it all, and would like to be a part of it. i think it's a beautiful culture and the people are so wonderful. I am 22 and love music. It's what drives me and keeps me cool. I would love if people would share their ideas for fun and interesting places to go, music festivals are always a plus, and any type of artsy thing going on. I love to go out and meet people so anything that involves these things I am down for. I am open to new experiences and people, so please share with me. : )

Re: New to Florida
Mon, May 19, 2008 - 8:24 PMAnna - welcome to the state. I hope that you got your visa stamped at the welcome station and that you were issued your mosquito swatter and reptile identification guide. You've landed in a beautiful part of Florida. There is a lot of nice outlander culture in Sarasota. A lot of folks with money and liberal values seem to end up there. You're really close to the Fackahachee Strand (I probably spelled it wrong); the home of the ghost orchid. Corkscrew swamp is not that far away, and if you really want to understand where you are, there is the Wilderness Waterway. It's a 10? day canoe trip from the end of the road on the west coast to the visitor center in Everglades National Park.
If you're into music and have a yearning to see more of the state, see my post from this evening re: the Florida Folk Festival.
Anyhow, welcome. It's a fragile state. Please treat her gently.
