Charlotte to Hot-lanna
There is officially a new Starbuck’s off the Highway in Salisbury, NC, which to all people traveling through to Charlotte to rock and roll shows or onto grandparents in western North Carolina, is a bodey. We stopped in twice on each pass through Charlotte for bathroom breaks, Tazo tea (complete with “the mumbled chantings of a tea shaman”..have you ever read the back of those tea bags? Inspiring.), and exclusive access to Alanis Morisette’s new acoustic CD.
We had a great time in Atlanta and thanks to everyone who came out to dance, dance, dance. We all give major props to the band who played before us called “The Booze.” Unfortunate name, fantastic music, very cool hair, and two (count em TWO) members in vests.
Thank you also to Rock Kills Kid and all of their generous fans who were kind enough to let us share the stage for both Charlotte and Atlanta shows. Very nice people and music. We dug it.
Did you know that in Atlanta you can find…
the first ever Chick-fil-a known to locals as The Dwarf House. Open 24 hours and complete with mini-door for small people entrance. Jeff entered first (6’2”).

Also,….

Roman Candle gratuitously recommends: Java Jive off “Ponce”(Atlanta natives abbreviation for Ponce de Leon Ave.) for good coffee, amazing scrambled eggs, and an impressive vintage stove collection.

As well as,…

“The Warren”, a members only bar where (no joke, you have to swipe a card to enter…) we all varnished our members only jackets and tagged after Russell for the night, complete with a great view of the city and chairs made out of twigs with velvet cushions.
