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

Oh, almost forgot the venue where I performed almost every week for 10 straight years:

A couple other churches I've performed at:

First Lutheran Church
St. Patrick's Catholic Church
