ok, so... picking up where i left off a few days ago... for some reason i feel the need to a fully document recent happenings. so first let me flesh out some things...
after we went to see jello biafra at bottletree, alison, jessica hallman and i went to the most posh place we could think of to eat dinner. alison (a dietitian) had her first red meat in 7 years. then she made at one point, a very dramatic exit to the restroom. her chair fell over and it looked like she was pissed off. she wasn't. i ran into jen west and generally enjoyed being at chez fon fon again.
moving on... more stuff from the chattanooga / athens tour jaunt:
alison told me to mention the "massage session" between her and hannah that took place on friday in chattanooga after i did the podcast thing. i have no further comment. alison, hannah and myself drove down to the riverside area of chattanooga and has some excellent thai food that kept me going until late that night. here's some pic at the podcast studio (free times).
all week, i've been using strange names that they gave me at while i was doing the podcast for through the sparks. apparently "smokey blue", which sean (the host) decided to call me at the beginning of the podcast has something to do with a pair of pants i wear. WOKK (another name they gave me) are the call letters on the back of my vintage mello-yellow shirt. and the name "carleton" is what the lady at the door called me when we arrived to play jj's bohemia.
here's a direct link to the podcast
alison also wanted me to mention "blowfish" - some kind of weird tribal gesture developed while nobody was looking by hannah and alison. its weird. then again, they are weird.
so... how about some pics...
first, some pics from the first show of the weekend, at jj's bohemia in chattanooga along with a photo that greg made everyone pull over to take... it was worth it. btw, hannah slamen took all of these photos with her badass camera. it's worth more than i am.
next are some post show pics... taken in the hotel. after a while, we all became convinced that the huge dark mirrors in our rooms were actually two way mirrors. we responded accordingly. maybe it was the boxed wine...
the next day, hannah, alison, greg and i went to the aquariums downtown... the rest of the caravan went on to athens, ga. here's some pics of us loading up and checking out the fishies:
we then headed to athens, where nikolaus had gotten us an 8 person suite, which had an alarming number of flat panel screens in every room. we also found a hee-haw marathon. jody was pleased... at the 40 watt, soundcheck went well and we all had some pizza on the club's tab. the first band on was 13ghosts... followed by a set by john p. strohm. jody, greg and i backed up john. included here are some rare photos of me playing drums. also, a pic of hannah...
here's some pics of jody during the through the sparks set along with some photos hannah took while everyone was at the diner on sunday after we loaded the gear. i really like the artwork in this diner. the wallpaper was also impressive:
