Your Jam-Packed Weekend in Jax
02/22/08 • Posted in: Art, Downtown Jacksonville, Events, Five Points, Music, Riverside, San Marco by Adrienne Moore
You certainly will not find a shortage of events taking place this weekend. First things first, “Clockwork Orange” is playing at San Marco Theatre Friday and Saturday at midnight; 11:55 to be precise. This is my favorite movie (next to the Godfather) and I can’t think of a better place to view it. Best part, for 5 dollars you can purchase the poster above. How rad would it be to have that in your possession in 20 years?
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is the solo project of Owen Ashworth. It’s fun music characterized by electronically-produced beats. Think cheap keyboards. Check ‘em out at TSI with Sunbears.
More music tonight hosted by Are ‘Friends’ Electric Live, but from what I gather it’s out at Jax Beach. Still, you can see a really great band, Airport Factory, with Our Name is Legion and Ysuge.
Saturday-day make your way to the Jacksonville Fairgrounds for Junior League’s 17th Annual Whale of a Sale. It’s a community garage sale in which proceeds benefit community projects. The sale is from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cost is 1 dollar per person and afterward you can grab some breakfast or brunch at a new place you haven’t tried yet. My recommendations: The Fox or the Brick in Avondale and Cool Moose in Riverside.
Saturday night it’s all about TSI and the Fluoro Party. Having been in a sorority (true story) I can’t say I’ve never been to one and I can’t say they’re not incredibly fun. Wear lots of neon! It’s your chance to rock that hot pink fanny pack you use at Disney World.
That wraps up my knowledge of what’s happening this weekend. I’m sure there’s a lot more going on, so feel free to lay it down in the comments. I hope to see you all around!
crap. can’t make it to ‘Clockwork Orange’ but I love that poster. of course if I keep up with the poster collection, I may run out of wall space.

There is also an “80’s Prom Theme” Party tonight at River City Brewing Company benefiting Dreams Come True hosted by Guys With Ties.

Hey Joey
I LLLove Urban Jax, but perhaps consider plugging events other than those at TSI. It seems these are the only events that ever get plugged here and I personally don’t care to patronize that establishment.
In fact, I went to two absolutely fan-fan-tastic shows at Jack Rabbits this past week as well as an incredible show at Cafe 11. Shantytown had some good stuff going on, and of course all the other events that get very little coverage (example: the event protesting the draining of the river a couple of weekends ago). I don’t think TSI is going anywhere anytime soon and they’ve got plenty of dough to plug themselves. I love you what you’re doing and keep it up - this is just a suggestion.
Hey hey Lady J. I actually wrote this article and write most of the weekend happening articles. I’m more than happy to write up anything that’s going on around town, but I’m not always aware of everything, which is why I suggest for readers to leave comments about whatever I’ve missed. Feel free to shoot Joey or me an e-mail if you have info you’d like to see posted. Thanks for commenting with your opinion.
