Hello from sunny Florida!

St. Petersburg was warm, sunny and 100% beautiful. When we weren't cramming our brains full of knowledge during the educational sessions, we kicked off our shoes and relaxed!
In case you weren't able to join us, here are a few sneak peaks of what went on during last week's Industry Conference.

Insomniaczzz Unplugged

Does anyone remember back when MTV used to actually play music and they had a little show called MTV Unplugged?
Well, MTV may not be playing as much music but they still have that gem of a show.

There's something raw about an artist playing an "unplugged" acoustic set. It's intimate and allows the audience to really hear the artists without the added amplification of electric instruments. It's just you, the performer and their instrument. Nothing else.

ISPA's Insomniaczzz are going to get real intimate and have their very first "unplugged" performance on Thursday, March 17th, from 8:30-11:30pm in suite 253 at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club.

Here's just a little taste of their latest gig at the most recent Las Vegas Market:

And don't worry! If you're unable to make it--we'll have more videos and pictures on here, as well as our Facebook page!

I ain't afraid of no ghosts...

Getting ready for the upcoming ISPA Industry Conference and Exhibition? Mapped out what you’re going to pack for those few deliciously balmy 70+ degree days?

- Sunscreen…check.

- Clothes, PJs, toiletries…check.
- ISPA Industry Conference information…check.
- Golf clubs…check!
- Proton pack, Ecto goggles and ghost traps…ch... 

You read that right. Not only does the Renaissance Vinoy offer top notch service and beautiful scenery, it also supposedly is home to some friendly ghosts.

Rumor has it that the 4th floor of the main hotel is haunted by a few spirits…So, if you wake up to this in the middle of the night, who yah’ gunna’ call?
