The Florida Georgia Block Party at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena presented by Bud Light benefitting Daniel Kids will be held Friday Nov 1 from 11:00AM-7:00PM. This family friendly event offers visitors to Jacksonville and residents alike a chance to kick-off Florida-Georgia Weekend.

Starting at 6pm, Jaxscene.com will be hosting a flag football tournament at the Shipyards.
Even if you can't hang out all day for the cornhole tournament, flag football tournament and live music
Free parking is available in the lot next to the Arena parking garage (the surface lot closest to the Matthews Bridge on ramp), if you wanted to swing by for lunch!
Bumping this up
Mike,
Did you see the portable shipping containers being used for Florida/Georgia outside the stadium?
$250 a pop to party!
Yeah, they are pretty cool looking.
Imagine what some of those empty lots in downtown would look like with some creative use of shipping containers!
No pressure, but representatives from the BCS are in town reviewing Jax as a site for a college football national championship game... and they'll be stoping by the Block Party.
No pressure. I hear you. That's why I'm thinking about another RICO paddle in our highly restricted DIA zone and then take it to the No Fishing signs that was never before Waterways.
In fact give me a call 904-434-0839 and I'll show you personally. There is still an open contest for the new signage that was never before Waterways. Pick and choose the winners and losers. Special shout out to anyone outside of Duval county.
This is a positive opportunity for anyone.
Tides look good later today. What a story. What an adventure. This is Jacksonville!
Do you have a list of participating trucks?? I'm playing hooky on friday, so I'll be there.
On The Fly, Corner Taco, Cravingz, Swedish Bistro, Scrappys, Super Food Truck, Mama's Food and Kona Ice.
Come put on your best 'Welcome to Jacksonville BCS National Championsip' face!
Hmmm, maybe I'll show up in UM gear....
It will be closest UM will get to a national championship, so go for it.
Captain, I'll owe you a birthday beer tomorrow... looking less and less likely that I'll be joining the festivities tonight.

not sure that will help with the BCS thing :)
What were the results? I had fun and enjoyed the energy. Mike, you are the man.
