Finally, Florida gets a show worth going to see, besides the shows during WMC.

Unless something has changed recently, I think they kick people out around 2 AM. Gotta love the fun police. NOT!

Definitely not Florida law. It is just the bedwetting libs in this town, namely the city council, that screwed up Gainesville. You would figure that for a liberal college town, they would be pretty open to stuff like this. Nope, definitely not the case.
Oh well, it's the after-parties that really kick anyway.

It's not a florida law...Space in Miami closes whenever people leave...I heard last year S&D didn't stop until somewhere around 12 the next afternoon. It's just around here, laws got tight when drugs/raves were getting out of control. It wasn't always like this...I remember hearing stories of Simons being opened pretty late with some kick ass shows. Unfortunately, it's in the past thoOriginally posted by unome

The issue came up before the city council about a year and a half ago and the student body government was involved. They were trying to push closing until 3 am. The current mayor (elected in March of 2004) supports a closing time of 4 am with last call coming at 2 am. The defense being put up by supporters of a later closing time is that last call is at 1:30 am and everyone is pushed out on the streets about 15 minutes later (in Gainesville it is mandatory that the building is vacated of patrons no later than 2 am or you face criminal liability). This results in hordes of drunk college kids flooding the streets of downtown Gainesville with nowhere to go but in their cars.
Personally I think 2 am is absolutely absurd, but I don't live there anymore and have no say in the matter. It is up to the residents of that town, the true ACRs (Alachua County Residents) to elect officials that promise to do something about it. It seems as though a change has begun, but a reflection of the new attitudes still remains to be seen.A good shower head and my right hand - the two best lovers that I ever had.Comment

I have nothing but good things to say about the show last night.
James put on one of the best shows I have seen in a while. His energy was non stop, the crowd was very much into it, and his passion for what he is doing was obvious. JAMES ZABIELA

Had a wonderful time as well!! The energy was so much better than when I saw him at WMC with burridge. I was so disappointed with that show...but I think the main problem was that it was on tuesday and most people were already hurting pretty bad from the massive partying they had done. Last night, one of the funniest things I have ever seen was when someone in the booth, who appeared to be far gone was fumbling with the mic and after he couldn't get it on decided to try talking into the headphones...repeatedly :ROFLMAO: That was just too great! All-in-all I had a good time. Seems like shows have been picking up lately, first Cattaneo and now JZ...what's next for central FL?

everything was nice, except for that stupid looking tart dancing on the bar, in front of the booth! I wanted to throw something at her, lol. plus we got there so early driving from tampa, we got in free. we got there at like just after 9, the bloke at the door let us in. he was very cool, as was most of the staff. i had never been there before. the Simons hey day was before me moving to Florida. But I liked the vibe, and hopefully they will get more good dj's.Comment
