Can’t believe I have forgotten to post about this. On my birthday Kathleen took us to see Paul McCartney in Piedmont Park!
It was amazing. We were about 25 feet from the stage. We got rained on for about 20 minutes, and nobody moved. He played for over 2 hours straight.
Unfortunately, we didn’t take our camera because they said they weren’t allowed, but everyone else had one. We took a disposable camera though. Should have those developed soon.
Went to see Snowden at the Earl a while ago. Finally got the pics up. I didn’t really like their new stuff as much as the last album, but the show was still good.
An old friend from college’s band was one of the openers, The Sea Lions. They were really good.
James’ band Venice is Sinking played at Kathleen’s event she organized at the Woodruff Arts Center on Thursday. They were good as usual. My parents came out because they liked them from our wedding so much.
Also, Brent brought an old friend of ours who was a foreign exchange student from Sweden when we were in high school. It was really great to see Johan again. He’s really a very nice guy, and just fun to hang out with.
I got the image from this guy’s site who was at a lot of the shows taking pictures:

Last Thursday (4/23) Kathleen and I went to see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra perform Mahler’s Sixth Symphony with her boss and her boss’s husband. Donald Runnicles was the conductor. He’s the Chief Conductor of the BBC Scottish Orchestra, so that’s pretty cool.
I really enjoyed it, and will have to start taking advantage of Kathleen’s job to go see more shows by the ASO.
Her boss treated us to dinner at Atmosphere beforehand. Which was awesome of them. And the food there was really good.
Kathleen and I went to Athens to see Wilco last Monday night. I honestly hadn’t thought about the coincidence of the show being on 4/20… Oh well… Had a good time. They played for a little over 2 hours.
And they mostly played old stuff, which really made me happy. Not that I don’t like Sky Blue Sky, but this was the first time I’d seen them live.
