Leaving Gainesville left a strange taste in my mouth, through spotty Florida rains. We saw some strange man crazy on the side of the road, rocking back and forth, hitting his own head. I see these things all the time, like a future.
Jacksonville is the most boring city in the US. Max Michaels from Movement magazine made it worth our time. Gracious and fantastic. We sat for hours in the club, laying on couches being forced through Jacksonville Idol, a local rip off of American Idol, that happened from 8-10 at the club. then the goth queens filtered in exchanging with the local talent queens.
The music here is still techno and ebm. I've avoided this for so long I didn't know it still exists. We get the worst advice on our music.
The crowd was a completely a surprise and friendly and vocal and then they disappeared 5 songs in. A weird reaction from a gyrating mess to a hollow room in 30 mins. We are the first thing a young girl fresh from a mental ward that afternoon sees when she gets out and she loved it.
