One month and counting. Who all's hitting up the Freebird for any or all of the 3 New Year's shows?
Me and my trophy wife will be there all 3 nites.

Clay (The Foundation of the Mofro Nation),
I will be there for all three; not sure who will be with me the first two nights, but the third night I'll have my wife, Karen, and my sister, Amy, and her husband, Jeff, along...
It's tough getting babysitters around New Years Eve...
Look forward to seeing you guys.

I knew you'd be there Brandan! Glad ur wife's gonna be able to make a show. Yeah I guess babysitter types have other things on their minds...like spending the money they've made off babysitting during the year! Look forward to see you too.

I posted this in response to someone on another thread and am also posting here...
For those coming who haven't been, or are considering coming, The Freebird is in Jax Beach, about 1/2 hr from downtown Jax. Like all beach towns in Florida it's on a barrier island...there are 3 (or is it 2?) bridges that span the Intracoastal to take you there. Thus the terms "beachside" and "mainland." Jax Bch, btw, is a sleepy little town, especially in winter. (But the beach is really nice.) Don't expect much out of it. Espcially if it's cold. And yes it can get pretty damn cold there.
There ain't nuthin cheap on the beachside. NYE's gets about a 30-40% premium any where you go; so keep that in mind if ur just coming down for one or 2 shows. We're staying at the Best Western across the street and the rate is $200 on NYE and $140 the other 2 nites.
The cheapest thing you'll find on the beachside is probly gonna be maybe 20% less than above, the Days Inn in particular. It's about a 10 block walk. We've stayed there with decent results; some of the reviews online would lead one to believe that the place should be condemned.
The Marriot and a couple others are another block further still but I don't think they're much cheaper (maybe a few bucks) than the BW which is a one block walk (about 5 minutes if you're crawling.)
Cheap stuff, without going to the mainland, is up in Mayport which is about a 10 min drive. Way too far to walk. There's a Comfort Inn and a couple others that are priced more reasonable.
Mainland, you can find stuff cheapest of all. If you want something out by the Interstate you can get a room for $45-$50. It's 30 mins tops to Jax Bch. I've done it, considering I only had 2 drinks all night long I still had a great time (and didn't care if I got pulled over cause I knew I was under .08)

If anybody's thinking about coming in from out of town I'd suggest you might want to start looking harder at booking your room. FSU is going to be playing in the Gator Bowl in Jax on New Year's Day. Most of them going will try to stay closer to downtown but my past experience over the last 3-4 years is that there's usually quite a few staying at the beach too. And that's been with no in-state teams playing. I think there will be a lot of people coming in for the game. (As for myself I'monna make sure I get a balcony room and a crate of eggs.)

It will be equally strange for many of us too Danny. To not see you on stage during final set-up, announcing the band, etc. is going to be very weird.
Whaddya mean maybe? You have to give getting drunk some sort of serious consideration??
One final note: please come back.

Pre-show hook up is gonna be at Bukket's. It's a half block north of Freebird, on the other side...around the back on the beach boardwalk. We're gonna get there by 6. Jimbo and his kin will be there round then or mebbee a little before. Good food, drinks, people...it's a beach bum place and a great place to hang out. Come one, come all!!
We'll probly stay until 7:30 or 8 and then head back to our room to get gussied up before heading to the Freebird.
We may hang at Bukket's all 3 nites before the shows, or might venture over the bridge on one of the days to get some of that Mojo's BBQ.
