Friday night in Athens we played Tasty World and watched girls in sundresses go by, young girls. Did I mention that they were young? Seriously, everyone in Athens has to be under the age of 25 or they kick you out. TT Mahoney and the Standard Eight weere out hosts and we had a lovely time playing to the children. The crowd started out standoffish, in typical Athens fashion, but as we grew into our set they began to get more and more into it. By the time we played our last song I believe that they even liked us. BTW, Tasty World has the worst load in I've seen outside of Smiths Old Bar here in Atlanta. 3 flights of stairs...blech!
Saturday was Macon at The Hummingbird and after years of playing shows I'd have to say that these guys (and girls) were in the top 3 nicest bar staff we've ever played for. Band beer was Old Milwaukee...check. Sound man STILL played music...check. The posters we sent down were actually hung up in the club...check. The guy who booked the show was there and wanted to talk to us...WOW!
We had a few sound issues, we play real trebly and in that room it was slicing scalps off the show goers, but other than that everything went off right as it should.
Death on Two Wheels headlined the show and they were awesome and nice to boot.
All in all loads of fun and we're itching to get back out there Wednesday.
Some Pics...
Outside of Tasty World 10 minutes before the set Friday. What a line to get in the door!

From the stage in Macon. These 2 girls were dancing up a storm and we thought it'd be nice to take their picture.Sorry there are not more pics of us playing, but alas we couldn't play and document at the same time.
Expect My Emails,
Mike
