Jacksonville's 15 Minutes

I happened across this little description on the Fark site:

Ever wonder what happened to Hootie and the Blowfish? Us neither but if anyone
does care they're playing a gig at the Jacksonville WalMart

..and clicked the First Coast News link to find this article:

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Hootie and the Blowfish fans got to see the band play at a local Wal-Mart Supercenter. The band made an appearance to sign autographs at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Atlantic and Kernan Boulevards around noon today. They gave a preview performance from their new album "Looking for Lucky".

They will also be performing tonight at the Florida Theater.

I can't believe I missed such an awesome opportunity... the opportunity to laugh in the face of someone who was once famous and who now plays at Wal-Marts in Jacksonville. If that's how celebrities hit rock bottom... Pardon my absence while I go wait for a few incredibly sexy, borderline-suicidal, male actors to come find me in the Electronics aisle.
