We jumped the gun by discussing the show on the 18th. I can't get excited about that one yet because Atlanta stands in the way.

So...who is going to be there?
I'm coming with TF and Token. I'm debating whether I'll record it or not.
I can't grow a beard, and I don't like to party.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there. I could use some time in Atlanta. Mike_D will be there for sure.

I'm on the fence. If the painting of my house is done, I'll probably come. With all these other fun people going, it's harder to ignore...

Have any of you ever been to The Earl? What kind of place is it? To which Nashville venues would it compare?
grass stains, airplanes, anything and everything

Well then I'll have to go so I can have a deadline for your mix CD.

The Earl is a decent venue in that they have a good bar that serves food in the front and the music area is separate. Eat some onion rings while you're there. The sound has never been great when I've been there, but it's a popular place & the strange caddy-corner placement of the stage actually allows good views for most audience members. I guess I would compare it to the Slow Bar in terms of crowd/vibe but the music area is much larger.

If the sound isn't great at The Earl, I doubt I'll bother with recording it.

Maybe I'll finally get to meet Roger since sina won't be around to hog his attention.

I've spent most of my time there at the front bar/restaurant. The only non-Features show I saw there was Apples in Stereo & we've already discussed their penchant for shitty overly loud sound. So, hopefully I'll be proven wrong this weekend!

There's an extra seat in our car as long as you're not a skank.

Oh well, I guess I'll just stay home.

haha..not funny, i know. Let me know if someone else fills that seat. Smee could let you know that i'm a fine girl...not a skank. Well, not usually anyway. It would be fun to never meet someone face to face, and then ride in a car with them for a few hours!!!

Smee can also vouch that we're normal people, not at all the types to pick up hitch-hikers and viciously mutilate them, leaving their bloody corpses on the side of the road to be eaten by wild dogs.

The seat is yours.

Are you questioning whether I'm going to Atlanta or whether I'm a nice person? The answers are "Yes" and "No"... in that order.

I very much look forward to meeting you, Im1drwoman.

And I very very much look forward to this show. This will be my first Features roadtrip. Yay!

I wish I could go, and could, but I don't want to drive the whole round-trip solo. I know everyone will post reviews, so I will just look forward to that!

It was a great pleasure meeting you -- even if you did ditch us to ride home with "them." I mean, how could riding with members of the band beat riding with us? Sheesh!

Just kidding. I had to rub it in as promised and make you feel badly! wink.gif

After you guys left, I told "them" that you guys were going to bash me on the msg. board the next day b/c I ditched you. Don't hate me guys! I am totally sorry, you were so gracious to offer after I pleaded and whined and cried....j/k. Actually, I bet you would have been tons of fun, I slept the whole way home on a makeshift pallet on top of equipment, it was an experience at most. I'll let you guys make plans with me and ditch me with no hard feelings, deal?! biggrin.gif
