There are a lot of shows I want to go to between now and The Fest. Perhaps I could carpool with some Gainesville people to shows in Jacksonville or Orlando (or tampa or tallahassee, but I haven't looked up any of those), or if anyone south of Gainesville wants ot stop in Ocala on the way up, one of us could drive the rest of the way there.

here are a few shows I'd like to go to, with varying levels of desire and ability to get there.

Sat, Aug 9, Gainesville- Sick As Fuck Fest
Fri, Aug 15, Gainesville- As Friends Rust
Fri, Sep 12, Gainesville- racebannon
Sun, Sep 14, Jacksonville- Silver Jews, Monotonix
Mon, Sep 15, Orlando- Silver Jews, Monotonix
Wed, Sep 24, Gainesville- Gaslight Anthem, American Steel, O Pioneers
Sat, Sep 27, Jacksonville- Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry, Chris Wollard
Sun, Sep 28, Orlando- Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry, Chris Wollard
Sun, Sep 28, Gainesville- Defiance Ohio
Wed, Oct 1, Gainesville- Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry, Austin Lucas
Sat, Oct 4, Jacksonville- Crime In Stereo (and NFG, ADTR)
Sun, Oct 05, Gainesville- Against Me!, Ted Leo

If anyone goes to the Revival tour in Orland and Chuck and Chris play Rumbleseat songs together don't tell me. Because I will cry myself to sleep for the rest of my life.

I think i'll go to that show and film it
and if they do that i'll send you the video, but only 2-3 seconds at a time

if i can't get a ride, I'm much more likely to go to the jacksonvilel show than the Orlando one, because I have friends I can stay with up there for a day or two. But I want to go to one of those, plus the Gainesville show, so I can see both Chris Wollard and Austin Lucas.

and of course double my Chuck and Tim.

I'll be going to the Orlando and Jacksonville Revival shows. I'll probably be driving alone.

Just found the first post-fest show to put on my calendar- MURS on Nov 15, at CG.

i'll probably be going up to the american steel/o pioneers!!!/ gaslight anthem show.

and isn't Defiance Ohio in August, not September?

wow, you're right, I must have had some sort of crazy brainfart when I checked their website before.

dammit, that means it is on a Thursday. I don't get out of class until 10:30 that night, which means if the doors are at 10:00, then I'll miss at least one or two bands. I hope Defiance Ohio doesn't go on earlyish in the night.

I missed them on Tuesday because the train was so goddamn late. It sucked.

they're playing Tampa Wednesday. apparently Matt Welch wants to test his ability to put on timely shows by having an early hardcore show and following it with a folk punk party afterwards. i'm looking forward to the spillover. that wacky Welch...
