It's not a town, it's an exit.

Now we're in Gainesville, Florida for another show w/Tom Petty tomorrow. He's from here so maybe that'll make it extra neat-o or something. I'll be honest, I hate Florida. It's a cultural wasteland that makes Vegas look like Paris and the notion that anyone would move here BECAUSE of the climate is the definition of insanity to me. I managed to walk to a Best Buy and find a decent restaurant so that was a bit of a triumph. In 5 days we'll be back on the west coast. Light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, there's another tunnel right after it. It's called Salt Lake City.

For some reason, seeing this view with Yo La Tengo on my iPod made it seem like the saddest thing in the world. Which of course it isn't. But it kind of is.
