anything special goin on for the week of march 17-24th?

my buddies and i are starting to get excited despite the trip being five weeks away. we will definitely be buying panamaniac cards. we also went ahead and ordered some la vela VIP cards, but they haven't charged my card yet so i'm wondering what happened there. i'm guessing that they charge you once you go pick them up, am i correct in assuming that? they were a little pricey, but we figured we'd probably save money buying them being right there on the beach for a full 7 days. last year in ft lauderdale $100 was easily spent in one night at the bars by each of us, so we didn't think much about buying the cards, but if you think they are a waste then please say so and maybe we'll avoid picking them up.
