bravo's top chef. hate it but love it.

i should probably work on making this more consistent

but i barely have time between my day job, my article writing, and my social life. in the last few weeks i've gone to a wedding in the country, attended and wrote about FloydFest, and gone to a few local shows. first:

the hotdamns played a private wedding:


then my friend's band, the high street lowlifes, played a show at the edgar allan poe museum's "unhappy hour:"

they are a retro 1930's band with originals and covers. family fare with some racy lines if you pay attention. they also cover a retired laylons song.

onto floydFEST:

beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, beautiful music....


the carolina chocolate drops were the festival favorites, with all of their performances packed way past capacity:



the hackensaw boys also put on a great show, and some of them aren't too bad to look at....

also loved the the wiyos.


so many more but will have to wait for my article to be published to go any further...
