Live at Beta Bar in Tallahassee, Florida

Doors open at nine, show starts at nine (music starts right when the doors open). That's one of the many things the flyer informed folks of. I arrived at 9:40 PM, no music had began and would not begin until forty minutes after that. 10:30 PM is when Porn came on. Basically the same thing that happened in ( Read more... )

Live at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville, FloridaDoors were suppose to open at eight PM, instead they opened at eight fifteen PM. The Melvins were already on stage, they were going to do a special Halloween set for us folks who showed up early. Buzz was wearing a ski mask that covered his entire face. It's the same one he used when they were touring ( Read more... )

Live at House Of Blues in Orlando, FloridaThere was supposedly a total of three opening bands, but I have no idea if the third showed up, played, cancelled, or what the deal was. The doors were to open at six PM and the show was to start at seven PM. I had absolutely no interest in seeing the first two or three opening acts, so I got there at nine ( Read more... )

Live at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville, FloridaDoors were to open at eight, show was to start at nine. I arrived after nine and there was a line at the door due to the doors not being opened yet. So instead of missing standing in line and the first act, I got there just in time to wait in line and wait for the first act. Price was noted to be ten ( Read more... )

at Wyndham Resort in Orlando, Florida

11:30 AM, the three of us arrived at Wyndham to meet up with Neal's girlfriend and her friend. There's a movie that is not yet released on DVD being screened at noon and we had to make sure we got a seat. Said movie is from Troma and directed by Llyod Kaufman. With that in mind, I knew there was no chance in ( Read more... )

at Wyndham Resort in Orlando, Florida

The crew would consist of myself, my gorgeous girlfriend Amy and my fantastic friend Neal. It was all downhill after picking up Neal. The two of them wanted something to drink for the trip. So into Seven Eleven we went. I stood around waiting for them to make up their minds while my car sat in a handicap zone ( Read more... )

Live at Hard Rock in Orlando, FloridaSince day one this show was announced until the day of the show, I searched high and low for the opening bands that would be performing. I found nothing. Nothing on the band's official or fan sites. Nothing on their My Space. Nothing on Ticketmaster. Nothing from the venue. Nothing. So I'm to imagine they have ( Read more... )

Live at Common Grounds in Gainesville, FloridaTwo hours and twenty minutes was the total estimated time it would take to get to Gainesville from Daytona Beach. I've been here once before and got lost, it wasn't too bad the first time around. This day called for a little heavier loss. FL-26 was the road I was suppose to turn on. The first arrow ( Read more... )

Live at K&K Rehearsal Studios in Ocala, Florida

All four opening bands were locals of Ocala. Not one of them had any chance of being at all interesting, let alone listenable. Since the doors opened at six, I decided that would be a good time to leave. The trip took two hours, so I was bound to miss at least two of the bands. K&K was reached some ( Read more... )

Live at the Social in Orlando, FL

Bought my ticket for this quite awhile ago, even though I knew for a fact it would not sell out. Ten dollars was the total. Which ended up being a good idea because tickets at the door were fifteen dollars. Way to think ahead. Doors were scheduled to open at seven PM and they did just that. During the hour and a ( Read more... )
