Don't pay any attention to them...welcome to Jax..it's a small but growing scene here...you should check out the Blue Room on Sunday this weekend, Gabriel and Dresden will be there and Markus Schultz is coming in a few weeks...they put on some pretty good shows there, we just had Danny Howells a few weeks back, and in the past (year/year and a half or so) have had Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair, James Holden, James Zabiela, Satoshi Tomeii (sp?), Danny and many others. Also the Ocean Club gets some good shows, depending on what scene you are into. Infusion was just there a coouple of weeks ago.
As far as stuff to do, the Beaches are (at least can be)fun, St. Augustine is very cool. Amelia Island is very pretty and a fun day trip too. The Blue Room, like I mentioned before, is small but has a good sound system and I actually enjoy seeing shows there. Ocean Club isn't the best palce, usually b/c of the crowd, but it is pretty cool having a club right on the beach, esp. if somebody worth seeing is there.
Many people in FL not from Jax think this is just a redneck town with sketchy people and a sketchy scene-well they may be right for the most part, but there really are some good people here! It seems whenever I try and talk to others from around the state at shows here in Jax they have some sort of attitude about Jax and the people here. All in all most are there to have a good time and although the crowds ususally aren't husge and we don't have the nicest clubs like in Miami and SOFL etc. the crowds are usually VERY into it and the DJ's like playing here-esp big names b/c they don't get an opportunity to paly small venues with a good, responsive crowd anymore. Like I said, it's not the most glamorous, big city scene, but I have seen PLENTY of awesome shows here and had a lot of fun.
I'll get off the soapbox now...welcome to Jax.-hope you enjoy the city while you are here-I'm sure at least the weather is better here than in Philly! Any other Jax people out there want to comment?
