Show 75: Gainseville FL, CMC

Turnout: 10

Monetary Votes of Support: 24 door, 47 merch, 25 donation

Personal Injury Report: I slapped Ben's head too hard he tells me. It sounded good though.

Show Description: Back in Gainseville at the Civic Media Center for the second time. I really like the wide openness of the CMC, makes you want to jump around in it, play tag or something. Glad to be back.

We had a smaller turnout than last time but had a great discussion afterwards. It kept on going until almost midnight and covered subjects ranging from capitalism's mediation of human relationships to the benefits and possible drawbacks of hook worm.

The next day we came back to host a discussion on the sort of theatre we do and how it can aid in a life that attempts to distribute power non-heirarchicly. Here is our diagram:

Afterwards we went to Niel's house for some greens and grits, good talk and disturbed cat viewing. Sounds like a good time right? We haven't left Gainseville yet!

Show 47: Gainesville, FL

Turnout: 30

Support: $69 1/2 of door (CMC also got $69) $26 donations, $81 merch. I think this is the most we've made on a single show.

Personal injury report: I figured out that the strange welt on my left wrist I got in St Augustine was a rope burn, because I got another one right next to it at this show. Concrete floor #6 in a row, but Kate's knees are fine, so it doesn't really matter.

Look at that picture. CMC has so many books! The person with the red and black checked shirt is Jimmy, who is awesome, works for the CMC, and lives on a farm. The person wearing the red sweatshirt with the white ties is Eric, who is awesome, he not only has continental philosopher trading cards, but can speak intelligently about them, and about coupons. He is married to Saara. The person sitting next to Eric, who you can't see cuz some dork in a grey suit is standing in the way is Saara, she is awesome and used to live in Milwaukee. She can speak intelligently about television, poetry and many other things. We stayed with Eric and Saara, which was super awesome nice and comfortable. The person on the other side with the grey shirt helped untie me and asked insightful questions about sexual violence (some others asked less insightful questions about sexual violence, but i won't point them out).

A totally wonderful kickass show. Everyone in Florida seems to want us to come back. So we will. Hopefully sooner rather than later, and when we can maybe also swim, and play Fort Worth and Pensacola and the other nice places we didn't play this time.

NATURE DAY(S)!

NATURE!!

Nature on Monday in Savannah!

Nature, for only 30 minutes because we'd driven all day and the sun was setting.

This is the area labelled "alligator ponds" on the map.

Nature when the sun sets. This is also when the alligators get ready to eat people. And when we leave.

What else other than nature is there? HISTORY!!!

History on Wednesday in St Augustine!! This is a really old city! The OLDEST still existant European city in the US! That means there is lots of TOURISM here! But we didn't take pictures of that, instead, we took pictures of this fort!

This is a fort there made out of seashells. Look at this history! It's historical!

This is a historical machine for killing your enemies with fires!

These guys wouldn't let us into the history fort without paying. Fuck them. Fuck tourism, history wants to be FREE!

Enough goddamn history. Back to NATURE! Here's nature on Thursday in Gainesville!

Now it's time for real nature! Saara took half a day off work to take us to the nature!

Look at all these vultures! Holy shit. They eat dead things! And there are alligators too! The alligators kill things and eat them, but the dead things that the alligators don't eat, these vultures eat! It is the cycle of nature!

How many alligators did we see this day? Lots! How many are in just this one picture? Six.

Sometimes we got close enough that the nature maybe coulda run after us and ate us, or maybe just ate half of us and left the other half for the vultures. Fortunately, this didn't happen.

There were also TONS of birds. Crazy great blue herons splashing around.

Look, mom! Look how close to the great blue herons we got! Ha ha! They were just hanging out, not flying away like they do in Wisconsin. Also, wood storks (huge!) grackles, sandhill cranes, and (really too far away to see properly) whooping cranes, buffalo, wild horses and a big fat pig.

Here's some cute scaley baby nature!

Good night nature!

(Our next scheduled nature day is Jan 18th or 19th, where we will be discovering nature somewhere between NOLA and Houston, it will be a good time and we might get killed by a snake).
