Anyone know if the South Garden restaurant at Haile Plantation still serves dim sum? I looked on their site and they said Sept 5-6. I don't know if it meant only on those days or if it would be returning after those days. D:

EDIT: Never mind, they have it on weekends 10-2. Their website hours are wrong.

The Leonid meteor Shower is supposed to be especially cool this year, peaking on Monday but even last night there was some action.

Anyone have suggestions as to where to go to watch it? Preferably something that includes:
Accessible at night (so no private property/public parks with limited hours, etc)
A place to park a car
Open skies
Minimal lights around (street lamps, buildings and so forth)

Suggestions?

Can someone please recommend(or share their experience)- a dentist in town for general cleaning/annual exam? I have MetLife Insurance. Thanks in advance.

Stencil, nitropaint on vynil.

I posted a few weeks about this. Many sources listed it as happening on the 8th of November. 4 of us drove up from Maryland to see it and we get there and people tell us they rescheduled it for the 15th. Not wanting to get suckered twice I waited until I could find solid confirmation. Someone found this on the net...

Seems like solid confirmation that it is happening at 7:30am on November 15th. So if anyone wants to see this old girl come down then show up before 7:30am.

All-knowing people of Gville,

I think this might be the first and last time I ever get to ask this question:

If for one night money wasn't a consideration - where in Gainesville would you eat? (I am a vegetarian but my husband is not - a place that is strictly vegetarian is fine but if it serves meat the place should also have something good for a veggie to eat)

Thanks!

I know this gets asked alot around here, given the still-bad state of the economy, but does anyone know of any good job opportunities for students?

I've got experience as a cashier, with data entry, in a call center (although I'd rather not...), customer service in general, and I'm skillful with a computer. Politics major here. I'd rather something semi-permanent rather than just Christmas season but I'll take anything.

Ideally like 10-14 hours a week, although more during the winter/spring breaks. Thanks guys!

I realize that I spelled "referred" wrong in the first panel, but it wasn't until I had already spent a lot of time cleaning this comic up in photoshop, so I figured you guys could let it slide. THX.

anyone know anything about a concert at flavet field tonight? i hear rumor that it's less than jake, reel big fish, and pepper. but i remember that line up from last year and can't really find any legit sources online. i found one student site that lists it but the same site doesn't have any search results when i checked that way.

i hear it's 5pm-10pm. any ideas?

This Heart is Safe for Valuables...

First off, thanks to everyone that replied to my post about hair cutters. Very helpful! 

That said, I have another question: what are the best vegan meals in town? My husband and I are trying out a vegan or close to vegan diet for a while (damn China Study book!) and are looking for stuff to try -- especially since he's been very much a carnivore up till now. 

We've already tried Satchel's, Karma Cream, and Book's Inc., though we're open to other recommendations there -- despite the fact that the stuff we tried at all three places was AWESOME! If you're curious, at Satchel's we had vegan cheese pizza with banana peppers, spinach, basil, garlic, and carrots; at Karma Cream we had triple chocolate, cookie dough, and green tea ice cream; and at Book's Inc. we had carrot cake and a chocolate cupcake. Yeah, I know, not the healthiest vegan diet yet but it's transitional right now. And I've also eaten some great vegan meals at SaBaBa, too, even when I wasn't really trying to eat vegan.

Knowing what restaurants have a good selection of vegan options would be great, but I'd also be interested in good vegan meals at restaurants that aren't really known for being vegan-friendly (even if they include off the menu options).

And if you want to share any recipes to try at home, that'd be much appreciated, too!

Ok, so I try not provide commentary on my comics, but this is a tricky one, because although I did read Twilight (and thought is was so vapid that I don't think I can go through the other 3 in the "saga"), and I did buy a flowery candy bar while on the rag, and I did actually have that thought about kissing Edward Cullen, it was all in the most sarcastic way possible. That's all I really have to say in my defense.

Bird Repellants & Odor Control...

Does Ward's or anywhere else in town sell Fair Trade chocolate? I can call tomorrow, I know, but I would like to know now! Thanks :)

Thought some of you might be interested. From my Gainesville Food Blog:

The Red Table Bar and Grill, located inside the Holiday Inn on University and 34th, has become Beef O'Brady's. The Red Table was formerly the Dill Deli and, of course, was the site of the last Denny's in Gainesville, circa 2005. Signage on the outside has been changed to represent the takeover, and the Holiday Inn's website represents the change as well.

Okay Gainesvillians, make some high school football players dream come true!

I teach at Keystone Heights High School, which is 35 minutes northeast of here, in the southern-most part of Clay County. It's a rural 7-12 school that doesn't get much attention. It's also the only title-I high school in Clay County, which means most of our students are low-income and on free/reduced lunch. Sometimes sports is the only thing that keeps these kids in school and keeps their grades up (no 2.0=no play, no excuses).

This week is our homecoming, and we have a chance to have Channel 4 come out and cover our game Friday night as their game of the week! This means SO much to our varsity football players, since many of them have college dreams, and being in Keystone, no one notices our football program much, even though we do have a few spectacular players; our team is so small, most guys play both sides of the ball!

Please vote at the following Web site and help us stay ahead of Fleming Island High School, which is in a very affluent area of Orange Park and gets a LOT of attention (as well as funding from the county...)

Click on Game of the Week on the right hand side, and choose Interlachen at Keystone Heights. You can vote as many times as you want, up til 11pm tomorrow.

Oh, and pass the word on!

Thanks!

I'm really getting into my health lately. 30 mile gourp bike rides mondays. 3-5 mile WFM runs tuesdays. The rest of the week is hill training and mountain bike practice. And I've been trying to eat more raw and such. It's been good. I love it.

Then next Midnight ride is a Cosby sweater ride, and the girl who runs it asked me to take pictures. I was very flattered.

I want to get tattooed soon. It's been so long, and my leg needs work. Cuddle fish and Nautilus need to happen stat.

I'm moving in January. About half a mile up the street. A great friend of mine needs roommates and I think she'd be a lot of fun to live with. Vegan, bike building, gardening, and sewing houses are what I dream of in a room mate. And she wants to help Brian brew...that's their thing. And we save money!

Exciting things to come. I can't wait for stuffing in two weeks.

Can anyone share their experience with moving companies- from one state to another?
