Since that is no longer the case, he's smart to build a base of new fans from that age group. Glad to hear that the event did well there tonight.KingBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-82866343284059290472011-09-27T20:02:08.045-04:002011-09-27T20:02:08.045-04:00I actually did have to go to the Gainesville Airpo...I actually did have to go to the Gainesville Airport (right next to the fairgrounds) and was stuck in some of the Tiësto traffic. You could hear and see it from the road. The place was rocking! I'll make a point to be there next time.

Andrews address the night I was there and the sign only referred to Andrews Upstairs, a club of its own. Saw no mention of 8traxx. So that's why I thought it wasn't there anymore. But the andrewsupstairs.com website shows the building and the lack of 8traxx mention but clicking a couple buttons one moves to the 8traxx site. SO IT'S STILL THERE!<br /><br />How disappointing since I booked my hotel in Buckhead specifically so I'd be near the place.

You can follow the club on twitter; CultureClubNYC where you can see pictures of the inside. It really looks decked out! I'd like to say "like Disney did it", but judging by the pictures, it's 8TRAX on steroids.

They are talking about moving the fairgrouds BTW - about 25 miles West of the current location, sometime next year.

One thing I read refers to opening Summer 2011 and then elsewhere "this Fall". <br /><br />When I was up in Atlanta a few weeks ago I tried to locate 8traxx, a 70's/80's disco that had opened there in Buckhead. Apparently it was no longer in business; I went by the address and saw no sign of the place. The club was mentioned here on the Blog in an 11/24/10 article. You posted a comment in that article about the Breakfast Club in Charlotte.KingBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900984237451420547.post-51097361755846422362011-09-24T14:18:18.609-04:002011-09-24T14:18:18.609-04:00Hey KingBob, 8TRAX fans have got to find a way up ...Hey KingBob, 8TRAX fans have got to find a way up north to Culture Club in New York City, opening on September 30th.
