For anyone not familiar with Gainesville's beer laws they stop selling at 11 on sunday. Rather unfortunate as Halloween falls on a sunday.
Also, if you find yourself in visible possession of alcohol after 11 (well any cutoff time, but sundays seem particular.) and are approaching a house show, stow it in a backpack or else you'll be besieged by thirsty drunkards asking for a cold one.

during my first Fest I was shocked when they stopped selling booze so early on Sunday... last year it made me happy to start drinking at first call & continue through to last call.

MA had no sunday sales of beer or liquor for my entire life...till i moved to VA and now they changed it up there. You used to have to drive to within 15 miles of the NH border to get beer if you forgot to stock up on Saturday

I know why I love my city... no time limit on buying alcohol... drinking on the street , in the park, or wherever is legal...
