Bye Bye Empire
Bye bye mexican mocahs. Bye bye free movie nights. Bye bye Regency Starbucks alternative. A few months back, Empire Coffee hinted at their foreseen demise, but now it's offical, they're going out of business.It's always a shame to see one of our fine local establishments go out of business, especially one that was so short lived. In honor of Empire Coffee, we should all use this as opportunity to boycott (or continue boycotting) blood sucking mega establishments, such as Starbucks and other coffee chains. Luckily, we still have places like Uncommon Grounds and Fuel.
Empire, you will be missed, but never forgotten.

AFK...Suicide
Good news is that we didn't die or get abducted by aliens. We have actually just been on the lamb, due to a small quarell with the federal government.
But now that the cheesy jokes are finished, the truth is that we are just lazy, which is why we haven't blogged for the past few months (more like 5, but who's counting).
So in honor of summer and our return, in true Suburban Jacksonville fashion, we present another lovely edition of Yee-Haws and Hells-Naws!
Hells-Naw Numero Uno: Summer Trilogies. Spider Man 3...bad. Shrek the Third...bad. Pirates of the Carribean 3...not even going to waste the $8. Summer movies are truely capitalism at its best; anything to make a buck. Creative integrity seems to disappear after the first $100 million.
Good thing for MOCA Summer Cinema.Yee-Haw to $6 movies and sophisticated themes. This Wednesday, The Devil's Backbone, directed by Guillermo del Toro (who also directed Pan's Labyrinth, which was definitely worth the $8), shows at 7pm. There's nothing better than popcorn with a nice side of Fascism!
Hells-Naw to Apathetic Arlington, who has abandoned Jacksonville for the summer and has headed off for London. Look's like she's too big for our modest blog, and has taken some internships (note the plural) at a few London magazines. Who the hell does she think she is? Elitist snob. But I regress. Let's all wish her the best of luck, and hopefully we can even convince her to find some time to blog about all her excitement in that wonderful metropolis.
Over and Out,
