TONIGHT: You can either hit up the KoL show at the Florida Theatre and/or catch Biggie Tea at Marks. I go on at 10 and spin until it clears out. Which is about 10:30 or so. Just kidding. Come on over. Jill from RADO will have tickets and info about Saturday's Harvest Gala and all the kick ass affordable homes, holmes. I will be MCing. My last MCing job was Chinese New Years. Gong Xi Fa Cai! I'll also have info on the Talleyrand festival which will sell out but tickets still remain. I go on before spoon. When I spin at Marks on Tuesdays if you would like to bring flyers about your urban core event (non nightclub related) bring it on. I hand out all sorts of goodies to folks with urban affinity. We are working on ways to make this night mo special for all involved.



TOMORROW NIGHT (HALLOWEEN): First take your kids out for some candy. I prefer Bettes Circle but whatever. There is a special show at Bogda



Note PBR logo. It has been said that there are 600 PBRs hiding in a Riverside house waiting to attack Bogda. I believe it. Can we face them? Can we win?

Marks is also having a big block party with and the Bay Street Rollers. Wondering if Tits McGee will make a comeback?

Emerging Jacksonville based abstract artist in her first solo exhibition.

Jane Gray Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of
new paintings by Jacksonville artist Brittni Wood. Cross-PolliNATION
will open on November 2,2007. There will be an opening reception for the artist and the Jacksonville community on Friday November 2, 2007 from 6 pm-9 pm. The exhibit will run through Dec. 3, 2007.

Cross-PolliNATION an exhibition of Brittni Wood's abstract paintings.
Wood's paintings are heavily influenced by social issues of today, with an emphasis on ideas of religion, sexuality, and gender roles.
"My work is forced into a slue of contradictions" says Wood. This battle of introspection and outward directness defines her most recent body of work. Wood's paintings entertain opposite ends of the spectrum, from gestural and dirty to hard and graphic. This combination is what interests her most, while also inspiring a mixed media approach to her paintings.

Brittni Wood graduated from the University of North Florida with a BFA in Painting and Drawing and is the founder/creator of CreateJacksonville.com, a web site dedicated to promoting the arts in around Jacksonville. In addition, Wood is an art teacher at a local high school.

Cross-PolliNATION will be on exhibit November 2- though December 3,2007. Jane Gray Gallery is located at 643 Edison Avenue (one block off Riverside Avenue). For additional information about the gallery or to request photos please contact Missy Hager at (904) 338-5790 or visit www.janegraygallery.com

SATURDAY: HUGE RADO GALA!

RADO TO HOST 2ND ANNUAL RIVERSIDE HARVEST GALA; RAISES MONEY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Jacksonville, FL (October 9, 2007) --- RADO (Riverside Avondale Development Organization) will be hosting its second annual Riverside Harvest Gala at the Five Points Theatre (1025Park St.) on November 3 from 7 to 11PM. The event helps to raise funds for RADO’s affordable housing developments. Tickets for the event are $15 per person and $20 per couple. The Riverside Harvest Gala will include food, cash bar, silent auction and entertainment by DJ Triclops I and The Royal Treatment.
“RADO’s purpose is to bring quality affordable housing to the Riverside and North Riverside communities,” said Matthew Bowler, Executive Director of RADO. “Events such as the Riverside Harvest Gala are a great way for people in the community to have fun as well as be supportive of our efforts.”
RADO plans to build 10 to 12 affordable homes in 2007 and double that number in 2008. Homes are priced in the mid 100’s range and qualified buyers cannot exceed 120% of the median household income. There are many plans to help buyers qualify.
Projects that are on the drawing board for RADO include Green on Green which will be affordable single family homes on the site of the former city of Jacksonville plant nursery. Construction will emphasize environmentally friendly green building.
In conjunction with the Murtaugh Companies, RADO will be breaking ground at The Point at Riverside located at 2900 College Street. This mixed use development will offer 12 commercial spaces on the first floor and 12 two story condominiums on the second and third floors.
RADO is located at 881 Stockton Street and is a community development corporation that develops affordable housing. For more information about RADO or the Riverside Harvest Gala, log on to www.radocdc.org or call 904-381-0950.

There will also be Talleyrand info and tickets available to bid on at the gala. Do the right thing. Come see the show Saturday. It will totally be worth it. If you have never seen the Main Ingreedyantz Crew live then figure its the best 20 spot (for you AND your date) you could spend. And thats with food and booze! Lets ride out with some of the MIC.
