Friday, GainesvilleVentured south to sunny Florida to play a couple of shows and try out the revised tour stategy by first working all coasts, and then slowly working inwards. We got into Gainesville around 7:00 for a quick bite then load in at the Atlantic in the heart of downtown for our show with Sarcastic, Oddknock, and Girls on Film. Wasn't sure what to expect from another college-town while school was out, but there was a surprisingly nice eclectic turnout; even the Chuppacabra made an appearance and seemed to take a shine to Trey during the puppet show. Considering a weeks absence from being able to get together, 
we picked right up and played very inspired and tight set, further strengthening the new demo songs. After one of the best sets I've seen by GoF, we mingled a bit, packed up and joined the locals at a late-night pizza joint where we judged bikes and tried to teach the official Entertainment hand sign. Special thanks to Electronic Subsouth and the guys from Sarcastic for showing us around, and to Uber Alex for making the trek
all the way from Michigan...
Soundtrack - Joy Division - Transmission

Drove to Jacksonville for tonight's show at Edge 17, run by Tommy's old friend Max. We explored downtown Jacksonville and took in some local fare, and were regailed with stories of the days when Limp Bizkit and crew were playing and recording here.
Back at the venue, wc caught the finals of the local Jacksonville Idol competition before it was turned over to Factory kids. The venue had a very impressive set up; we played the smaller

and fog machines. After an impromptu
photo session, we played anoth
er strong
set set to a very receptive crowd, so much so the grinding on the dance floor proved too much for a full shows
attention...but, apparently this was a good thing. Afterwards, we caoght up with the rest of the Movement Magazine folks, and discussed coming back for another big show in the Fall. Then back to Max's for an afterparty, then a quick bite, and on the
road home.
