What Can You do in Jax?
First of all, I must give Kate some serious props for the cool new background for my blog. :) I love it, I'm stargazing in full-force now!
But secondly, since "the gang" is coming to visit here in Jacksonville this coming weekend, I figured I'd look and see what actually goes on in this place that I don't seem to like all that much. So I went googling. I realized that, like, WOW, there are things actually going on here...
...and a few places of possible interest to go "spelunking" at. First of all, I think a visit to Hanna Park would be really cool. Hey, this is a beach town, peeps, and this one is damn near close to home, about 5 minutes from my grandma's house.
I also went investigating what is going on at the Landing. To give the place credit, it is beautiful in the daytime or at night (particularly night because of the lights) and it has plenty of food (which, as we all know, is important to Carrie). But I went and just checked out some of the events and attractions. You all will be happy to know that you can bring your soundtracks so that you can take center stage for the Rising Stars open Mic event that apparently happens every Saturday afternoon. And since I *know* there are plenty of musicians among us, I'm certain at least ONE of you would just LOVE to do this. And NO, I will not be bringing my own soundtrack along. Don't want to scare the kids...or the adults! Finally, I also discovered that there will be a monthly Cruisin' In! car show. And the best is yet to come, folks! We'll have to check out Aerial Tribe and "Sugar Bear" and "Mr. Beam," all of whom are apparently performing at the landing sometime Saturday. I was able to find out a little something about Aerial Tribe's music, but I haven't a clue in Hades who "Mr. Beam" or "Sugarbear" are, and I think I'd prefer to stay uninformed.
So that's at least the beginnings of some things we *could* do. There's always the good ole Jacksonville Zoo. Unfortunately, I don't think they have a fountain, and there will be no drunk people in prom dresses there (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, DON'T ASK) so there will be no fun betting on who will fall in first. :)
So, Kate, Paul, Jeremy...and whoever else is reading this and might be coming to Jax (no, I'm not saying that to pick up any guys, lol) give me feedback. :)

I totally love comments like, "This is what is *apparently* going on down here." For some reason, I assumed you were more hooked in than that. :-P Mr. Beam is a '70s-style funk band; Sugarbear does mad Afropop.
Totally forgot to tell you that we wouldn't get to stick around for the pyro-gasm, because we'll need to start driving back before then. Other than that, I'm game for anything. Oh ... and I've got to make it to Bead Hawk at some point. I can't go out of town without looking for unique lampwork I can't get here. (Am I allowed to say that with Matt coming back?)
By the way, no fair teasing Jer with the prospect of spelunking and then failing to mention a single asbestos-filled building! Meanie! ::grins::
Hurm ... so what's the plan? Gotta get my roadtrip playlist ready (Karaoke! The Wiggles! Britney Spears!), gotta get a hotel room, gotta tell my parents ... in that order.
I'm sure we can find an asbestos-filled building or two :) ;) :P
mmmMMMmmmasbestos!
Well done!
