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.

Your turn!

[MrSandMan]

I've only played at parties. Nothing paid or worthy to talk about.


But that is one hell of a list Krashpad! I bet you had lots of good times and probably created memories that many will remember for a lifetime.

How have you been bro?

Good thanks, haven't been here enough lately, end of month (lots of work) is coming up, last weekend Trop. Storm Fay passed directly overhead (no real damage or flooding here, didn't even lose power), someone tried to break into my van (get this-- the "collision repair" place our insurer sent me to discovered the jacked-up window was just out of the track and repaired it NO CHARGE!), had a pipe spring a leak at Casa Krashapd (between floors-- water was leaking out of a LIGHT FIXTURE!), kids back in school... so, the usual craziness.

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.

Thanks, compared to some other storms we've been through, Fay was nada.

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.

[ninja636]

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.

[Wolftallica]

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:

Well, I'm not sure how many books were left there when it was a venue. In fact, it began in the half of the building that'd been a bookstore, then expanded (it was still quite tiny though) into the other half, that'd been a martial arts dojo. I think the name was intended to be a play on "Hard Rock Cafe."

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.
