weekend reflections:
- corndogorama '07 solo 3 out of 4 days [sort of sad but not quite depressing] - got to see a bunch of local bands that I'd been wanting to check out for a while - further convincing me that all you really need as far as live music is concerned is local bands : highlights - corn dog eating/spewing contest, seeing a dude get taken down w/ a burnt corn dog to the crotch launched from thirty feet away by a monster water balloon launcher, drunk people, pretty much every band that I saw, etc.
- two smirnoff ice parties [rock, I love how comfortable/adaptable I've become when it comes to hanging out w/ people that I just met - preston craig is cool and jordan is as well, hopefully I'll be doing more w/ those guys in the future] - still so cool that I get paid to hang out and party w/ a bunch of random people
- running 6-8 mile scavenger hunts at 7a on a sat. morning are a lot of fun [again solo/pre-arranged partner - it sucks to come in first [win by ten minutes after starting six minutes behind everyone] but not get anything b/c of missing one [ambiguous] clue]
- saw a homeless woman gleefully [totally relative] stomping on bubble wrap outside of the 'new' check cashing place [old church's chicken - still not sure how this area can't support one of those] on ponce while coming home from the local/lenny's after 3a
- mastodon is amazing - if you haven't seen prog metal live then you can't appreciate it...I don't care if you think it sounds like crap, anyone that can play that stuff can kill your favorite band
- buckhead is def. worse than you remember it for the most part - a grateful R.I.P. - at least Fado's is staying
