Friday The New Night For Events


Coming from someone that likes to keep up with what is going on Jacksonville, I've noticed that there has never been so many things to do on Friday's. Last year around this time The Pearl had a video night, Vintage night at Eclipse, Cafe 331 had a electric night, Three Layers Coffee just started Heart Flow Fridays , TSI had DJ Roy MDTMYB and bands and Shantytown, Doozers and Jack Rabbits had band shows. A lot of options just not like there is now.

The only things that have stayed the same is Shantytown, Jack Rabbits and Doozers have bands play. The Pearl has a new DJ, Eclipse is now old wave 80's, Cafe 311 is hard to keep track of, has had rockabilly, this weekend is a Prince tribute, but on the 2nd and 3rd weeks it's house music, Three Layers still has Heart Flow but every third week of the month, TSI still has the bands but now with Nick Fresh.

Granted it has been a years and with the ecomomy the way it is you would think there would be less things to do. The new things to do are, Burrito Gallery has DJ Biggie Tea, Edge 17 has opened up with Laid Back Fridays, The Sinclair is open, Music videos from The Pearl has moved to the Dive Bar, Are friends Electric is at Ocean Club, Steamworks has rotating DJ's. Then you have First Fridays in Five Points and in Springfield. If put into a list it's pretty long. What use to take 15 minutes to compile now takes a hour. Thank Jenny K. for taking over that job.


Pearl Fridays

Which brings up this weekend. This Friday is going to be a spotty ones with two amazing shows and all the things to do, the TSI Art and Music Mixer with 40 artist and The Sunbears and the Shantytown show with Buff Clout and Antarctic. I would like to go to them all but I DJ at one of those new Friday "things to do so" I have to work. I have to settle for saying, I hope to see you out.

thanks for the love! IF I didn't have to get up before dawn on Sat I would be catching my wife's favorite local dj at the pearl after my bg gig on Frieday. I remember when there was nothing to do. Now I miss out on a ton. Though I am enjoying the new tradition of hitting the first fridays while i am on autopilot...biggie tea

Back the f up see more homie
