Well started off at the Atlanta Brewery, makers of Peachtree St., Red Brick, and Laughing Skull for their "tour" and live music. Connor Rand played and was very good. Did some originals and some covers. Very good for a local act.
The Tift Merritt show on Friday night was awesome. It was my first time at Earthlink live and it a great great venue. Slightly smaller than the Variety Playhouse but bigger than Smith's Olde Bar. Very intimate venue with a cool setup for the bar and outside area. Definitely will catch another show there. Also met Brad Rice, Tift's guitarist and former guitar player for ,Ryan Adams in several incarnations of his back-up band. We talked for a little while about music and an all-together great experience. Mindy Smith came on later and she was pretty solid but alas the bars called.
Hit up Churchills, McDuffs and Pool Hall. Yeah I know...same old same old. First time I had been to McDuff's in a while. Reminded me why I left. Very crowded bar with pretty bad service. Also the place has become 90% guys. I don't know what the deal is. This used to be a fun place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday. However now a days I wouldn't venture in unless it's Monday through Thursday.
All together a good night.
Saturday for lunch I hit up a little Henri's on my way to watch the Auburn/bama game. Good times. 21-13. War Damn Eagle.
After some rowdy pre-game Saturday night we hit up the same three bars. Same results. However the Deer God was in fine form.
