The Valentine's Occastion

Started the evening out at Ali Oli. Nice Italian style dinner in an upscale Buckhead restaurant. I was a bit overwhelmed considering how picky of an eater I am. But after a couple of questions I ended up with a nice tomato based pasta dish with fenel sausage. Great food. Jacki ended up eating a tuna dish.

Next we headed to the Roxy to see Edwin McCain last night. Sold out show was expected considering the Valentine's occasion. Some highlights for me included Darwin's Children and What Matters. The crowd was a bit too chatty but when the crowd was quiet Edwin's vocals sent chills. He is such a talented singer. The opening act, Will Hoge, was pretty interesting as well. Will probably seek some of his music out in the near future.

At the end of the night we met up briefly with Mike G and his wife. Mike is the bass player in the band. Well he has been on a mission to build a Stick Monkey. A later post will go into detail but I suspect the Stick Monkey will make its official appearance at our gig on March 6. Look for a preview on these pages in the next couple of weeks.
