I am going to take a break from thee olde blogge for a few days. Since I don't have contributers like the other, ahem, blogs, the theatre will go dark for a lil bit. Probably resurface around the 777 shows. Make your plans to be downtown on Saturday June 7th for the Munny Show at TITK and the Steve Forster show at (PRIVATE) the space. It will be like a mini art walk.
Go brewers.
Also, RIP Ill Bill. You will be missed.

Ok. Enough already on the Adult Swim music automatically coming on while you read blogs at work when you should be working. I hear you. I'm a team player. Buleted. Making the internets is not an easy jorb.
Everything from here on out or until I do it again will not play automatically. So when its safe you can hit play or at lunch when you are supposed to be goofing off.

Click over to MetroJacksonville to read all about the new trolley planned to connect Downtown 5 Points to Downtown. JTA (take the survey) probably got some help on this concept from some of Riverside Avenue's new folks. That is a good thing. Claim Brooklyn! If you miss the last trolley stroll the riverwalk! Yeah Jax.

Registration Now Open as Jacksonville Joins
List of Cities to Host 48 Hour Film Project
Jacksonville, Fla. – June 25, 2007 – The city of Jacksonville shall be abuzz with creative activity during all 48 crucial hours between August 3 and 5, 2007. That's because the Jacksonville First Coast Chapter of the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association (FMPTA-JFC) has helped bring to fruition an incredible opportunity to showcase the Northeast Florida region --- and all its talent --- by playing host to the 48 Hour Film Project.
The 48 Hour Film Project began in 2001 in Washington, D.C. and has now held more than 100 competitions around the world, including repeat visits to Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York. 2007 will mark the first year that Jacksonville has participated. The crux of the project is that filmmaking teams register in advance and then have just one weekend to complete a 4-6 minute short film, including writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical score.
"Part the mission of the FMPTA-JFC is to promote filmmaking in Florida, specifically for those of us based in Jacksonville who want to live and work in this city we're proud to call home," says FMPTA-JFC President Mac McDonald. "Bringing events like this one is a very visible way to do that."
Once the films are completed, they're screened to audiences here in Jacksonville, and the FMPTA-JFC is proudly sponsoring the Jacksonville 48 Hour Film Project's Showcase Theater. While registration has only been open a week, there are already a number of creative and production teams that have signed up for the intensive August weekend.
"We believe that Jacksonville, a diverse metropolis, will be rewarded by hosting the talent of this city, and region, throughout this competition; with every imaginable accommodation that Jacksonville offers, the artists will find multiple avenues for expression," says Nicholas Quin Serenati, a digital artist with Run Fast Jump High Films and FMPTA officer at both the local and state level. "We hope their creativity and this diverse cultural area will be showcased when the first-ever Jacksonville 48 Hour Film Project draws to a close."
How to Enter
Filmmakers and individuals interested in participating in the Jacksonville 48 Hour Film Project can go to www.48hourfilm.com/jacksonville and either click on the "Register for Jacksonville Now" or "Join a Jacksonville Team" link. Team registration is just $125.00 for the city's inaugural year. Questions about the Jacksonville 48 Hour Film Project can be directed to jacksonville@48hourfilm.com. Winners a the local level will have a chance to compete at the national finals, with the potential to be named "The 48 Hour Film of 2007" which means your film will show at Cannes. For additional information, visit http://www.48hourfilm.com/.

I haven't djed in a year. The last gig I had I didn't show up. Sorry Mark! To be fair it was on my birthday and really late. Ok and there have been a few times when a promoter will say, dude where were you? and I'll be like when? This is the problem with djs (we'll go over the problem with promoters in a later post). You can't count on them, ummm me. Except tonight I am opening for Astronautalis (djing not MCing). I'm throwing my insane jams at 10pm strong for a number of minutes. Ian didn't let me practice last night so screw springfield.
For more info on Mr. Nautalis see his myspace page here.
Or see his profile from SXSW (with tunes) here.
Also here is the description by a legit promoter:
POP! THURSDAYS @ECLIPSE
ASTRONAUTALIS ( www.myspace.com/astronautalis) will be spinning
and
opening the night is BIGGIE TEA (www.tonyallegretti.com).
COME OUT!
It's going to be veddy! good times.
$2 cocktails, shooters, shots and yuenglings all night.

While working in the secret lab of the designers working on tonyallegretti.com 2.0, I got to use one of these in the safe room next door. (no I din-unt).
UrbanJacksonville is so intrepid that they caught me messing around. Please people. Let me decide the right time to announce the projects.
Clearly I have Narcissistic Blog Disorder:
This disorder is characterized by the creation of a blog in which the individual consistently denigrates not only the opinions of others, but the very fact that others have opinions, saying things like "nobody cares what some overpaid starlet has to say about global warming" and "nobody cares what some crusty career politician thinks is wrong with society today." Simultaneously, the individual assumes that people do care about what he or she has to say, in spite of the individual's only political or activist experience being watching the movie Dave twice.
Dave. Had to look it up. Added to Netflix.
By the way, for you lefties there is a new phone coming out or something. Look for a local review here.

There is a very interesting speech given by Mac Bissette of SRG at the SAMBA (Springfield Small Business Association) meeting at Urban Jacksonville. This is awesome of Joey to post because I can never make these types of meetings. With his work and the BRT and other study work done by metrojacksonville, its easier now to get involved or just stay informed.
Mac also goes over the Ulrich data mentioned in this article.
Urban is not a linear market.
I am bullish on the Main St. and Springfield long term retail success.
What if we call it downtown?
If you bring the residential density of Springfield into downtown (why not, we let southbank condos claim San Marco?) you have good neighborhood data knitted into the Northbank.

16:flat - READY TO SELL!
The residential real estate market in the core seems to be heating up in a race of rooftops vs. retail. Speaking of retail. Did you read the report from Retail Traffic. Joey has the PDF in his story. Guess we are the hottest market for downtown retail in the country. There is something going on.
I encourage you to walk over to the corner of Duval and Liberty where this property (16:flat) is located and take in the views as you walk towards the core, the sports complex, or the river. It is a short distance from pretty much anything. Reduce your carbon footprint, dude.
Hopefully we will see a lot more of 13 My Noot. Well, actually they will probably design City Market, but I mean projects like this. High Density, small footprint. Supporting this project is supporting good urban development. Oh yeah, and they won like the most major award in the AIA locally. The only local building to get an Honor Award in fact. There is a speech in here somewhere. Anyway. Get you one.

ART WALK BONUS PART TONIGHT!

You won't find this on the map. 
I am almost done with my submission for that show. It will be for sale. There is also new work all over the city. Hit the streets. If you find that you don't like a place, hit another. There are 40 places. Download the PDF map here.
One last note (probably not but go with it): Its important to go out and show that you support the arts. There will be a lot of decisions made about the viability about our city at art walks. Its what we want, realized (once a month). OH AND NO ART WALK IN JULY! This is the SECOND TO THE LAST ART WALK THIS SUMMER. There will be 750,000 people downtown tonight. GOING CRA-ZAY. Yeah right. Yeah right. No way! (EXPLICIT - NOT WORK SAFE) Tip to seeing DD at TSI.
So no more updates today unless its an emergency. I have to write two speeches. Apparently I'm on the speaking tour. Tonights subject. The West Adams Street sidewalk 1884-2003.

Judith Rosenau
Born 10-14-1980 in Aachen

Studies
2000-2001 History of Art, Literature, History at
RWTH Aachen
Since 2001 Visual Arts, Textile Design and Pedagogic at

2007
- Burrito Gallery,
Jacksonville
Her paintings:
The
background of her work is formed by the nature of social gatherings. It focuses
on distance and closeness, rituals, social structures, observation and
memento.
Her work embraces family as an institution and discloses
similarities despite individual trades and diverse concepts of “family”. A
memory is often more an impression of something rather then the knowledge of
something. These deficiencies of memories are represented by the cut outs, the
“windows”.
Masters for the paintings are photographs, mostly from
the 1950’s, because photography enjoyed a different status than today. Since
digital photography, the present is overly documented and motifs are chosen with
more randomness. Photographs from the 50’s represent which moments were
considered worth capturing.
Rosenau uses oil and acrylic on canvas
as well as nitrocellulose thinner copy and other mixed-media.
I thought Judith might be at this art walk but she will be back in Cologne. Her reps, Tommy and Uli will be on hand if you need help. The Burrito has decided to waive its commission because Judith only got to show at two art walks. In essence all work is 20% off.
Also, Cathartic and Crystal Stafford on the back patio, and some limited edition tshirts. Scroll for details.

Walky was invented to represent Downtown Jacksonville's First Wednesday Art
Walk in late 2003 and has since been "used" as an iconic subliminal
marketing ploy helping city dwellers around the country and around the
world cross streets safely. Walky is thought to have been the driving force
behind the millions of "art walkers" who now pour in the downtown streets of
Jacksonville Florida every first Wednesday of every month.How Jacksonville became the new Rome - New Yorker
