A NIGHT ON THE TOWN I ' m so glad it ' s Thursday night. We can go to Rickey ' s. So am I. Thursday is such a good night. Everyone is always there. Well, I don ' t know about tonight. The Islands is having a good special. I ' m going to the Islands this weekend. I ' m so glad it opened up. Gainesville a place like that. Yeah, the Islands is great. I can ' t be. lieve some of the good groups they get to play there. The groups are so much better than the groups at the Rat. It ' s funny. I never go to the Rat now that I live off campus. Me, either. I guess it ' s just a good place to go when you live on campus. What else are you going to do this weekend? I ' m going to go to happy hour at tomorrow after classes. Do you want to come? Sure! Two for one . . . I wouldn ' t miss it! And the best looking guys are there. I also have a date tomorrow night. He ' s taking me to Pinocchio ' s. That place is fun. They have some good comedians performing. It reminds me of a Las Vegas club where everyone sits together at one big table. Make sure you have reservations, because it gets crowded. I ' m pretty sure he made them all ready. Do you want to eat at Joes Deli tonight before we hit Rickey ' s? Sounds good. Want to split a gator tail with me? Sure. I haven ' t eaten all day. Maybe we should go to the Islands after Rickey ' s. What do you think? Well, I ' d rather stay at Rickey ' s all night, but if you want to go the Islands, we can go Saturday night. Okay, that sounds good. Do you know what I like about going to school here? Every night there is a place with a special! Yeah, Monday night Joe ' s Deli has pitchers for two dollars; Tuesday is happy hour at Bennigan ' s; Wednesday is ladies night at the Islands; Thursday is free at the Rat; and you can go to Rickey ' s Pinocchio ' s, and everywhere else during the weekend.

That was the best concert! I know. It was great! Do you realize he sang 19 songs? I didn ' t count, but they were all good. D. Wheeler People braved the cold to buy Tom Petty tickets. I can ' t believe he opened with One Tom Petty entertained the crowd with his guitar Story Town . . . that ' s the first song off his playing. new album. He was so good. Did you notice the stage was set up with the colors that are on his new album cover? Yeah. You know, it was really neat when he looked out at the audience and shone the spotlight on everyone. I wonder if he saw us? I doubt it. Do you know what he meant when he dedicated ' The Waiting is the Hardest Part ' to everyone up in the second level? I guess he meant waiting for tickets . . . I really don ' t know. Can you believe people camped out for his tickets in 40 degree weather? I couldn ' t believe that. I guess they wanted to be in the front row. I think we had great seats for buying them only a week in advance. Really. Isn ' t it wild that Tom Petty is from Gainesville and even used to play at Dub ' s? Some of his songs are about like ' American Girl ' . It is about a girl who committed suicide by jumping off Beaty Towers. That ' s creepy. I thought ' Breakdown ' was the best song he did. The lighting were fantastic. And he had two encores. I only wish he had communicated with the audience more. All I remember him telling us ' Let ' s get crazy ' and ' It ' s pretty damn good to be back here ' . 44 Tom Petty Kinks People waited all night for tickets. D. Wheeler
