We went to Liz and Matthew’s house last night for game night. We played Catch Phrase, and there were about 20 people there, so it was quite ridiculous, and very very fun.

We got to see Brian and Leah, Jessica and Matt, Kimberly, the guys from Death on Two Wheels, the girls from the Bridges and some other great people who I don’t really know too well.

Kathleen, Liz, and I went to see the Manchester Orchestra play at the Masquerade last night. Liz and I have been working on a website for them and Kathleen has been doing all the writing for the site,  so they had us on the guest list.

The site should be live soon. I’ll post a link to it when it’s officially launched.

Kathleen and I went to see Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks on Wednesday night. Even though I was extremely tired, we had a good time. We had ridden our bikes to dinner at Across The Street, and my bike tire’s went flat on the way back, so that sucked. And then the ATM broke in Little 5. Oh well…

It was great to finally see someone who’ve I’ve liked for so long, although they didn’t play any Pavement songs. They actually played mostly stuff off the new album, so I didn’t really know a lot of it. But it was still good.

There was a lot of damage to buildings in the the area. Here are some pictures of the building across the street from Kathleen’s office:

This one has the Tabernacle in the background

Here are some pictures of the Cotton Mill Lofts where I was almost living…

Thankfully nobody died, but all of the floors here collapsed.

There was a really bad tornado tonight in downtown Atlanta.  The building across the street from where kathleen works was shown on tv, and it was all torn apart. We haven’t seen her building yet.

On a very sad note, it looks like the Cotton Mill Lofts have been completely demolished. The floors just collapsed one on top of the other. Less than a year ago, when I was looking for a new place to live, I was very close to picking the Cotton Mill Lofts. I just hope everyone made it out ok.
