Urban Jacksonville Weekly This Friday

This Friday Urban Jacksonville Weekly is returning for a lunchtime show. We’ll be broadcasting from the Times Union on our Ustream channel so you can watch it live. We are searching for a new time to do the show, Thursdays don’t work for the team anymore, so stay tuned.

You can always subscribe with iTunes to get new shows when they are released.

Jagsonville.com

I’ve been working on a new project with friends called Jagsonville. It’s all about the Jaguars, our cities team! Support the movement and subscribe to the blog or get down with our Jagsonville Facebook page.

We’re bringing you Jaguars lifestyle content that’s not too heavy on the X’s and O’s. Photos, editorial, comics and more.

New Sponsor: Transformations

We have a new sponsor for the show this month: 12th Annual Transformations – The Way Home. Stories of lives transformed through the Sulzbacher Center’s comprehensive programs and community partnerships.

Enjoy live music, great food and drink, and bid on amazing silent auction packages. For ticket or sponsorship information call 398.8084 or visit the website www.transformations2010.org.

Notes from Alan on the show

I totally gaffed and said AmSouth Bank (which is really Marty’s Regions Bank) was not in the Historic District. It so is, but Al’s strip is not.

Pajama Monsters

We were able to keep these handmade cuties from destroying the podcast studio, but I think one of them did poop under Jonathan’s chair. Enjoy the show!

Despite not having our guest, Jay from Dos Gatos we still managed to fit in some Dos Gatos and downtown bar talk. Not to mention stories about Rosie Perez, Wesley Snipes and Vampires.

I would be missing an essential component of the promotions if I failed to post about the Live Urban Jacksonville Weekly tonight at the 5 Points Theatre. A few things have changed over the week, mainly new giveaways and I’ll post them all below.

Big News – No Banksy Trailer

You might have seen my tweet about this today, but the film is in NYC until midnight on Thursday and has to be rushed to the airplane after the movie ends to make it JAX in time for the opening Friday night. Soo boo hisss, whaaaa!

Features and Giveaways

* FREE ENTRY!
* sets by After the Bomb Baby
* guest co-host Melissa Ross from WJCT’s First Coast Connect

* Bold Bean Coffee giveaways
* Burro Bag giveaway
