Feb. 1, '09 - StP party SE - Gainesville, FL

[veggieguy12]

A small gathering of StP'ers in the southeast is set for Feb. 1 in Gainesville, FL.

There are train lines running in and around this college town, and it's right on the major hwy I-75, just north of central Florida.
As the date approaches the exact location for the party will be announced.

Please respond if you intend to make it.

Bring necessary gear if you want to crash there for the night, your musical instrument(s) to play, any stuff you wanna give away or trade, your own snacks and beverages - and maybe bring extra of something to share with the group.

See you there!

DIRECTIONS
From University Ave. (aka Hawthorne Rd) & 13th St., head E to SW 10th St., take a right and go down to SW 2nd Ave.
Then turn left and continue until the first street you can turn right, that's SW 7th Terrace. Walk that all the way down 'til you see the pot o' gold.

Here's what you're looking for, streetview (looking S from SW 5th Ave. down SW 7th Terrace) & overhead.
From the streetview, you'll see a yellow vehicle-gate, and passing that, the paving ends with some red dead-end kinda signposts. Past them, and around to the right a bit, following the trail.
From the overhead, we're talking about just West of the white-looking concrete spot on the path going around the lake on the SW side.

Attendees (as of Jan. 28): 12?

Let's say 3-7pm+; anyone can sleep there, or the nearby covered picnic area if it rains.
There's a free 7pm show at a nearby venue if you're 21+, or $2 for under-21s. Don't know what the music's like.

Hey, why don't you call the Prosecutor's office and ask for a slight postponement.
Tell 'em you were making your way from (Texas, or Oregon, or whatever's far - your registered state of residence, if that works), don't want to miss your court date but you've had an injury, need a week more to make it.
Or maybe you're not being a defendant, it's not my business, but it would be cool to meet ya in G-ville if you can work it out!

Here's the Prosecutor's office number, if that helps: (757) 385-8641
