Hey,

I'm trying to find somewhere Austin Lucas and I can play during the Fest. We would also be accompanied by Austin's friend, Aaron Stout, and maybe one or two other acoustic bands.

I've been a handful of times, but I'm not that familiar with Gainesville. What are some good outside places to play impromtu shows? Parks, parking lots, any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

RJ

Plaza of The Americas was the popular place last year for acoustic sets from what I heard

the bottom 2 rows of that page is videos from the Plaza last year and also from Downtown

I'd really rather not get the university involved in this. Play the Holiday Inn roof. That would be sweet as hell.

i saw, saw wheel, in an apartment last year, it was awesome,
post info if you end up deciding on a place to play

I don't see what would be wrong with playing at the plaza of the americas. As far as I know there's no approval that you need to get or anything like that, could be wrong though.

Can anyone get more info on the Plaza? Can we really just play there?

Also, would the top of Holiday Inn really be possible? That would be pretty fucking sweet!

There's a pool up there. And it's the official Fest hotel. So I don't see why not man.

that or the outdoor bar on the roof of the building painted like a cow...they had cheap wings there last year...so you'd be outside and get to drink as well...might be cool

lets get a band to play INSIDE a hotel room... eh? eh?

hell yeah!

That's Mojito's. They got a stage up there an everything. Not to mention awesome beer specials.

I really enjoyed the show at the Plaza of Americas last year. I hope there is another one. Nothing better than to start the day with a chill out rather than going straight to a thrash show

I don't know...the Atlantic was pretty fucking swell last year...lots of amazing bands played WAY early...12 hours of punk in one day...that's a Fest.

Sunday at the Atlantic was awesome, i remember there being about 5-6 bands in a row that i was really looking forward to seeing

I'm pretty sure this is going to happen:

It will probably be outside. I'll let you guys know more after the schedule is released.

Will anyone show up for this?

You can count on me being there. I honestly can't stand the 2nd singer in A Whiskey A Dance A Fight And A Kiss Goodnight though. Sounds horrible. They'd be way better off without em imo.
