At the Bottom of a Lake

In my personal mythology, October 15 is the day at which the weather in Gainesville flips into Fall mode. It's an average, but it seems to be true. This was my dad's idea, and history has borne it out.


Well, this October 15, Squeaky reunites with a band with which, for some strange reason, we share a destiny. PopCanon. How many shows have we played with them? A lot more than you'd think, considering the totally divergent genres/styles etc. What we have always shared with PopCanon is an almost insane enthusiasm for rock—rock as we see it. PopCanon broke up a long time ago, and its members live in Alabama, New York, California, Chicago, Rochester (I think I have that right). But they are committed to playing a show in Gainesville, and we couldn't let them play it without us. As I am famously quoted as saying, I would play a show with PopCanon if it were at the bottom of a lake and I had to pay a fish for the honor. Now that's commitment. 


So there. October 15, at the newly christened Double Down Live (former home of Common Grounds).

This is how it happened.
