Day 23 & 24 - Atlanta, Georgia

We played in Atlanta Friday and Saturday at the Atlanta Varsity Showdown. Weekend events always seem to have higher energy and I think we end up playing better because of it.

Atlanta in the distance.

Saturday morning Jessie Collins drove down to Atlanta from Anderson, SC. We had lunch, explored downtown Atlanta together and talked to the Occupy Atlanta protesters. 

For some reason I was listening to the guy in the cocoon.

Maybe this is who came out of the cocoon?? No, no, she was just a random interesting person.

The Atlanta Varsity Showdown included a handful of couple and team competitions which were really fun to watch. There was a lot of really great dancing. I had someone video tape our last song of our last set last night. The dancers made a jam circle and it was real swingin'. I'll try to post the video as soon as possible. For now, check out the video of us moving the piano in Columbus, OH.

Killin' it Kevin and gorgeous George.

We're now on our way to Tampa, Florida! This will be the farthest south I've ever been. Also, it's seriously hot down here. I thought, "Oh, autumn on the east coast is going to be cold and crisp." But it's been humid and sunny the whole time. I'm sure as November comes around and we go further north I'll freeze my Tauntauns but for now I'm shorts and tee-shirting it.
