This one is easy. The All-Star game and all related festivities are upon us. The obvious, only question is how are you going to spend this weekend?

How will you spend All-Star/Gasparilla weekend in Tampa Bay?

| I’m going to Gasparilla. | 4 |
| I’m going to Gasparilla AND all the All-Star stuff I can get to (I plan to be dead by Monday) | 9 |
