In flight WiFi

November 18th, 2009 | 15:18

Just wanted to post this now, because it’s the first time I’ve ever had an internet connection on a flight.

Pretty cool, and way faster than I expected it to be. Feels like a cable connection.

Don’t know why it took them so long to figure this out, it’s very convenient. Too bad there aren’t power outlets though (at least on this plane).

Sir Paul McCartney

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.

Rapt Atlanta

Friday  night we went to Rapt Atlanta at the Woodruff Arts Center. Kathleen had been helping them with media and marketing.

It was very cool. I liked it way better than I had expected to. They had projections all over the buildings. And  Big Rube, who does a lot of stuff with OutKast and Goodie Mob, gave a little spoken word poem that was really great.

Venice is Sinking at the High

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:

St. Vincent

On Sunday (6/14), Kathleen and I went to the Earl to see St. Vincent. It was great, because we had been exhausted from biking around town all day and kickball practice, and we got there right as she was about to go on, which was early for a headline at the Earl.  She had requested it to be a non-smoking event, which is awesome since you usually can’t go to the Earl without coming home wreaking of smoke.

She was really good again. This album seems to be a lot heavier than the last though.
