secondly, LBI?  HOLY SHITE.  I've been only a few times but it was always AWESOME.  truly a small world if we were there about the same time (all my visits were in the late 80s).

I knew where the farm and studio was from talking to the band members, but alas, we moved to our small farm only six months ago.  I have bought corn and flowers at the farm for several years, but I think the studio was on the other side from the public market.

If you ever are near Shelbyville and want to get a feel of the place where some great Jacket tunes were cultiviated, make a trek to their market some day.  It's a really nice place that has not gone over-the-top touristy yet.

BTW, how are things in Stone Mountain?  I saw a laser light show there when I was young, it was really weird!
Title: Re: Where is everyone livin?
Post by: jonjon on Jul 13, 2005, 07:38 PM
Any club downtown is great. The ratio is said to be 11 to 1 women to men. Though it's a college town....DO NOT walk down the street with a beer...even if it's in a paper cup. Depending on how the cops feel, you'll either get a $120.00 ticket that you have to come to court for...or they will handcuff you and take you straight to jail. This really is the dirty south.

The laser show at Stone Mountain is awesome isn't it. I used to work there back in 1984.(Damn) It is again the biggest with some of the images being over 500 ft high. The lasers from the top installation travel to the mountain surface over 1/4 of a mile, that's why they can be projected so big. Things have changed due to politics and corporates, so it's not as kewl as it used to be. I think the neatest thing is an exact replica back at the studio where the show is created. It's scaled down into a 20 x 10 room. Did I mention that there are speakers at the base of the mountain and speakers placed in the trees all the way up the hill to the top installation and they are on an entire 3 second delay so sound will match?

Sorry, starting to geek out.
