Dear developers: please cut down more trees. I’m sick and tired of everything I own turning yellow in March. Thank you.

I went to the Big Vessel show at Jake’s Toadhouse last night. Amazingly, Jake’s manages to outdive Northside Tavern. However, the vibe at Jake’s is much better and the people are much mellower.
My friend Chris plays in Big Vessel and gave me a copy of their CD a while ago. […]

I really do not understand why people feel it is appropriate to bring children out in public. Especially to the grocery store, where the little brats get into everything and then pitch screaming tantrums in the aisle. Back in the good old days, a parent could smack the little fucker and put and […]

Last night, I stopped by JaD’s EP release party at the Velvet Underground. Normally, I would rather sit at home and marvel at the splendid job my apartment complex did painting the walls than go anywhere near downtown Atlanta on the weekend.

As can be expected at […]

I attended Arts Safari’s inaugural social last evening at Bazaar Urban Bar. Arts Safari is a new group for YOUNG* professionals that is dedicated to cultivating support for the arts in Atlanta.

Dear annoying couple that talked incessantly throughout the show: please shut the fuck up. If I can hear you over the LIVE MUSIC you are too damn loud. Because you are quite obviously very enthralled with each other, allow me to make a suggestion. Possibly a coffee house, restaurant, or bar might […]

My shiny new Nikon D70 needed to undergo consumer product safety testing to ensure it would be useable for concert photography, so I picked up a copy of Stomp and Stammer and flipped through it, hoping someone interesting was playing. I was in luck, as Azure Ray was playing at The Earl. As […]

Entering the second round of the NCAA tournament, my bracket is, amazingly, still pretty much intact. Except for Michigan State. Bastards.
Besides basketball, March brings the annual Smoove D search for the official cocktail of the summer. Last summer, the Singapore Sling (as featured in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) […]
