The Crowes, man!

Another great night with my favorite band, The Black Crowes, last night at The Tabernacle!

I've seen many of their shows over the past 6 years or so, some better than others, but I've never been to one that I didn't enjoy - it's just a choice between better and best.

I don't think last night's show was one of the best I've seen -
I think that title belongs to the first show I caught when they started touring again back in 2005/2006 at The Alabama Theater in Birmingham  - but I think I probably had the most fun last night.

Keith, one of my oldest and bestest friends, Clint, my theological and menu advisor, and pretty lady-friend Casey, who is genetically engineered to create trouble, all met me at The Tabernacle and we proceeded to "whoop" it up until they turned the lights on and chased us out.

I rode the bike into town and over to Ruth Chris at Centennial Olympic Park and had a beer on their patio overlooking the park, which at full Atlanta spring glory, is just beautiful.

I had to pay $20 to park the bike right next to The Tabernacle (awful) but I scored the very first space so the cops outside could clearly watch it being stolen while they wrote tickets for expired meters, so that made me feel safer.

I was able to get home safe and sound without any big scares but I should probably have switched to water and soda somewhere around the 4th song.
Lesson learned.

Beer, bikes, and eyepatches don't mix, my friends.
You heard it here first.

Good times!

Also, in the past 2 or 3 days, I've been told that I look like Chris Robinson and Sven Pipien.


I prefer Snake.  Snake Plissken.

The good Cardinal Martin was kind enough to send the set list from last night's show.
