Places you've played
OK, I stole this idea from another board. Sue me. List places you've played. If you wish, you may concentrate on places with interesting or unique names, or places where memorable events occurred (in the latter instance, a parenthetical explanation of what happened would be swell).
Or just list all of them (or all you can remember) Here's a lot of mine. All are/were in Florida, mostly Gainesville, but also Tallahassee, Jax, Tampa, Orlando, and Ft. Myers. Hardback Cafe (bar that had formerly housed a bookstaore) Full Circle Pizza Factory Civic Media Center Alachua Music Harvest (fest at Alachua County Fairgrounds) Alachua County Fairgrounds (during Alachua County Fair) Florida Music and Film Harvest (at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park) Covered Dish Lyric Cafe People's Peace Party (this was a weekend-long fest/party in an oak grove surrounded by orange groves) Cow Haus Moto Lounge High Note Down-Lo Purple Porpoise Higher Learning Brick City Music Hall Common Grounds D.I.Y. Records Media Play (a chain mega-store-- got thrown out after one song) University Club (one of 2 gay bars I've played over the years) Brass Mug Market Street Pub Florida Theatre The Shamrock Eddie C's (and later when it was re-named the Backstage, best part: there is no backstage there) Krieger's Warehouse Lillian's Music Store (a bar, not a store, usually shortened to just "Lillian's") The Atlantic 1982 Bar (have yet to hear an explanation for the name) Bar One Orange & Brew (UF on-campus bar) The Rathskellar (UF dining hall that doubled as on-campus bar, long since burned down) Colonel's Fried Chicken Skeeter's Artitorium Madonna Mama's Club Rev Jewells (club wehere I played bass for Bo Diddley) Florida Theatre Club Demolition Boofest (annual Halloween outdoor fest on private property on a lake) Wagfest (held at Wagner's Automotive in the service bays) Admiral Spaccoli's (St. Augustine, FL 2-day gig ending in a money dispute, venue called the cops on us after the bar stiffed us the second nigh Oh, almost forgot the venue where I performed almost every week for 10 straight years: Abiding Savior Lutheran Church A couple other churches I've performed at: First Lutheran Church St. Patrick's Catholic Church Your turn! |
Re: Places you've played
I've only played at parties. Nothing paid or worthy to talk about.
:no: But that is one hell of a list Krashpad! :w: I bet you had lots of good times and probably created memories that many will remember for a lifetime. How have you been bro? |

Started playing in church again a couple weeks ago. It won't be every week like it was at my last church, but that's cool. How is married life treating you? If you chose as wisely as I did, it will be great. |

An ex-bandmate buddy of mine works at the St. Augustine marina, however, and they had boats come lose and crash into piers and bridges and stuff, and flooding along the beach streets. |
Re: Places you've played
Yeah, my brother lived in Wilmington NC when Hugo hit. He didn't get the full force of Hugo there, but enough to blow the hood off his new pick up truck. He's since moved to Raleigh. My wife wants to move to a "beachy" area, I told her to go ahead I'll write. :biggrin:

Re: Places you've played
Wow, contrats on all the places you've played. Great idea too! Well, I haven't played nearly that many places, but some day I'll get there. I've played in a few bands, but they never got along long enough to get to play anywhere, well, except one band. We play at a bar and grill in Hubbard Lake, Mi, called The Cedar Bar and Grill. Nice place up in the middle of no where. Some day I'll play somewhere big some day.
Nothing else matters. :yess: |

It was a very cool place, just because it was very open-minded about booking. They would give most local bands a chance to play, and touring punks like Green Day before they were famous, etc. Very tiny, but the vibe was great. |
