• The JAX Welcome

  What a week. After nearly floating down the street in Tallahassee amidst a crazy set of rain storms that ran us ragged, we pulled into Jacksonville. The northeast coast of Florida. A hint of warmer temperatures and hopefully relaxation tempted our joy.

  What do we know about Jacksonville?

  The art galleries are most definitely worth visiting. Especially at the Burrito gallery.

  The people are designers. At least a proportionately large percentage are.

  JAX was hit by four major hurricanes in the same year. 2004. By Hurricane Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Mister T.

  It was also hit by Hurricane Carl, at NgenWorks, who made JAX the awesome party town it is today. And when I say party town, I actually mean that the parties are at the NgenWorks office. And they’re rad. Carl welcomed us with open hurricane arms, bought us lunch at the Salt Line, and rockbanded with us till 2am. We didn’t come to JAX for the downtown scene (it’s shut down and silent like a lot of towns we’re seeing). We came for great conversation and beer drinking with the awesome people here.

  A huge thanks to all the people who made us feel so welcome this week. The semis that roar by on the Phillips Highway don’t seem half as loud now that we can rest easy with JAX friendship in our thoughts.
