So, not much action on this board. Well, I'll be driving down for from North Carolina for the first of three shows in 11 days. Will be meeting a friend who is driving up for Labelle, Fla. We'll be in J-ville for the whole weekend. Saw Tool in DC back in September, everyone is surely in for a treat. Anybody from J-ville have any good advice on some good nightlife/bars for Friday night? Maybe we shold organize a little pre-show drinking party somewhere. Just throwing that out there...can't wait til 6/2.

so, when they first announced this tour, I was in PA expecting to see a show there. I got a federal job and am now in Brunswick GA until september for training. I thought I wouldn't be able to see them on this tour. I saw them in pittsburgh last year, so I figured if I didnt get to see them this time, at least I did last time. I just noticed that there was a show in Jax which is only an hour south, and that it was on a weekend! (i'm off weekends). I just bought a single ticket in the 105 section! I am fucking pumped! And the fact that it is less than 3 weeks away is just awesome.

The arena is pretty good ***. When NIN came through Florida on the With Teeth tour, I saw them in Tampa, Jax, and Orlando. Jacksonville's arena is by far the best in terms of sound quality.

As far for bars, there was one that was right outside the Arena, but the last time I was there it looked closed. Downtown sucks for that stuff, but there are afew places just over the bridge.

Well put twenty3, I am putting this on the record that if anybody acts an asshole throwing shit and what have you (and in turn ruining the fucking show that I have been waiting since September to see) you WILL have a very pissed off 6'2'', 255 lbs dude beating your ass all over the arena. Have a nice day!!

under 10 days until showtime! I get goosebumps thinking about the TooL shows I have been to in the past and I know this show will be just as awesome. Anyone who gets drunk and acts like an asshole is a fucking loser. I wouldn't even want GA admission tickets if I could get them. I was up against the rail by Justin at a show in 2002, and while that was just amazing and most people were cool, a few sweaty assholes were pretty big distractions. having a seat and some room is perfect for me. anyway, cant wait till the show!

Picked up a GA ticket. Wasn't planning to go to this show, but I have no real excuse not to :) 3rd TOOL concert but first time on the floor. Hopefully will get Right in Two, The Pot, or any of the rotating songs really.

Pumped for the show. can't believe tix are going so cheap (relatively) right now. picked up lower level straight on view for $27 each after shipping and bs. As for the nightlife, pornstar is right about not much downtown. Amsterdam Sky Cafe is right next door and as far as I know not shut down so a good preparty bar. The real nightlife is out at Jax Beach, probably good to hit that up friday night, but that's a good half hour away from downtown. Hope that helps.

Actually, went to my friend's graduation at the arena last week. The cafe is closed, making the next set of bars closest to the arena the one right next to Plush.

I'm hoping for aenema. NIN busted out Starfuckers and Dead Souls in Jax, both of those were rarities on that part of the tour, so I'm hoping we get some cool stuff.

Don't expect shit from the band. It was a downpour last night in Sunrise, and we didn't get a peep or a new song or anything. Ugh.

At the hotel now getting my free drinks and snack. About to head out to the show, my 3rd in 5 days. Kinda sad its ending and most likely will be a long time till they tour again. Here's to hoping they play pushit again tonight.

This show was amazing!!!! Melt-Banana sucked...
Someone did throw a cup on stage...and my friend told me he saw someone throw a t-shirt on stage by Justin and he kicked it off. Didn't see that one.

During their break before Wings, I thought they were getting ready to play Third Eye because of the sound effects (the white noise with wahwah). Oh well...

Absolutely fucking incredible show. Just got home in NC, 6 and a half hour drive. Was in section 114, and it seemed like there was about five of us really into the show. However, no one around me was disrespectful towards anyone near them or the band.
--"GET READY TO HAVE WET VAGINAS, GOVERNMENT APPROVED."--
Melt Banana is horrible, horrible, horrible. I think that they literally just made as much racket as they could for a solid 40 minutes or something. Unfortunately, I think I saw that they are also going to be in Greenville and Winston-Salem, which I will be attending both.
Tool Took the stage at like 9:10. Played till 11:00 on the dot or close to it. Saw them in DC back in September, and this time around was in my opinion tons better. Not that the DC show was bad, it was amazing. But it seemed that all the wrinkles from DC had been ironed out and this show was flawless, not to mention the visuals, stage set up, and LASERS were unbelievable this time around. The lasers did so much more in Jax than in Washington, DC.
Overall, I was very pleased with the venue. Loved Jacksonville, it was very simple to navigate to and from my hotel, which was a Ramada Limited off Lane Ave (off of I-10). Not much to offer in the way of bars close to the arena, but I would definitely visit again.
As far as Tool is concerned, thanks for another stellar performance. See you in Greenville Tuesday.

Unbelievable show. Didn't see any of the other FL shows, but they absolutely brought it on saturday. I get chills just thinking about it. for those that went to other FL shows, was this one the best? (besides for no pushit)
