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:

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.
On Saturday night, Kathleen, Michael, and I went to see Cinematic Titanic at the Alliance Theatre.
It was basically everything I’d hoped it would be, essentially MST3K: live. The movie was “Danger on Tiki Island,” which was perfectly awful and great riffing material for Joel and the gang.
We also ate at Soul Vegitarian for the first time ever, even though we’ve lived across the street from it for two years now. It was some pretty darn good food.
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.
