DMB Concert Goers

So Rochelle and I went to the Dave Matthews Band concert monday at lakewood. The concert was great. Tim Reynolds played with the band and did a really awesome rendition of Cornbread with the electric guitar.

While we enjoyed the concert, Rochelle and I are now of the opinion that we are to old to go anymore. We rode MARTA to the concert and coming back was a pain to say the least. We had to wait in a huge crowd of sweating, pushing, vomiting, cussing, and loud talking people. Most of the kids were highschoolers who are in a constant competition to be the loudest and dumbest in order to prove that they are the coolest.

I googled for "two aholes go to a dmb concert" and found the following post on a message board:

To those wo attended. Was there the usual after concert mayhem? Drunken, white, entitled, suburban fools acting like aholes, then blaming HPD for over reacting.

That pretty much sums it up...

First Bicycle Commute

Today marks the first time that I biked to work. It is also the first time that I used public transit for commuting

I planned on parking at the Cumberland Transfer Center at the Cumberland Mall and taking the #50 CCT bus to Powers Ferry Road. I would transfer to the #148 Marta bus which has a stop right by my office. I brought my bike because the two lines don't connect and I have to pedal from Powers Ferry to New Northside Drive which is about 1.1 miles.

I pedaled over to the bus stop at Powers Ferry and New Northside Dr and arrived at about 8:25. I waited until 9:08 and couldn't wait for the bus any longer so I decided to bike the rest of the way to work. It was a little over 5 miles. I think that I could get used to biking to work. I am so alert and full of energy.

Today was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the ride. I dropped my car at the Cumberland Mall, but I may ride from our apartment to the mall in the future. I just wanted to get everything figured out first.

Send your neigbor a grievance

A while back I found this website where you can fill in the blanks of these forms for various letters. It's hilarious. Each form is designed like official government forms from the 40's. You can send your significant other a declaration of romantic intent or you can send a friend an acknowledgment of an occasion.

Perhaps my favorite one is the Airing of Grievance form. I would send this to our neighbors who let their dog pee on our porch every day if I only knew their email.

Our first family property on the web

While Rochelle and I have had our own presence the internet for some time, this blog represents the first cyber real estate we occupy as a family. We hope to keep this site updated with pictures and more.
