Kathleen and I went to ICE Atlanta on Saturday in Centennial Olympic Park. Then we went to the new Young Blood art gallery and boutique across the street from my apartment while we were on a waiting list for dinner. Pretty much everybody that was at ICE also had stuff in Young Blood… I wish we new that before we spent an hour in the hot hot afternoon looking at all the same stuff. Then on Sunday we rode our bikes down to the Virginia Highlands Summer Festival. It was really crowded:
Just walked back in the door and got settled in and the cats fed. The plane landed 2 hours ago, but it took that and $8 to get home (or at least two blocks from it) on MARTA.
Texas was pretty fun. I have a rather nasty looking bruise on my right arm from shooting at clay pigeons yesterday. I’m just glad we found some fairly cheap plane tickets. Don’t get me wrong, 16 hours, both ways, in a van, with my parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, would have been oh so much fun.
Congratulations to my Cousin Jonathan and his new wife Genevieve (or, Geneva, as the pastor said twice at the start of the ceremony)… 5 and 1/2 more months to go until it’s me and Kathleen’s turn…
I had a pretty fun weekend, even though Kathleen went to Albany for Mothers’ Day. I played a TON of GTA IV. I helped Brian and Leah move into their new place in Decatur. Played a ton more GTA. And then went down to Newnan for dinner at my brother and Brooke’s with my parents and Kathleen on Sunday.
Oh… and on Friday, my new phone came. So I’m not in the dark ages anymore…
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.
It has recently come to my attention that an old video featuring a young Christopher Covington has been uploaded to youtube.com. Before the rumors start to fly, I thought I’d set the record straight, right here, at christophercovington.com.
It was the Spring of two thousand and three. I had recently moved away from home and was living in the city of Atlanta. One day, there was something going on near the student center at GSU. It was a music video maker thing, and it was outside, right in the open for everybody to watch… My good friend Jonathan of course wanted to make one of these free music videos. No one else would do it with him. So I stepped up… They had lots of costumes, and, well, not a great selection of songs to choose from… And, without further ado… I bring you: Chris Covington and Jonathan Williams performing Bone Thugs and Harmony’s Crossroads:
