Hi guys,
Just so you know, we're having trouble uploading pictures because of all the different wireless connections. We'll create a picture-log as soon as possible and put the adress on this site!
We're in Atlanta (HOTlanta) about to explore this huge city. The hostel we're staying in is a really nice 3-story quaint little house with stained glass windows and a big bell in the front yard. The location is pretty central with a 3 stop subway ride into the downtown. We opted to stay in a private room for about 10$ extra each so we can lock up our stuff and feel safe about it. (I'm sure our mother's are happy about this :) )
There's an (almost) world famous open mic venue at an intimate place in Decatur, GA called Eddie's Attic. We managed to find the place, and Eddie was nice enough to squeeze Jodi in as the last performer...she did a great job!--as always. The whole performance was really impressive with tons of acts from all across the country, each bringing their own unique sound to the floor. They have a cool system where each night there are three finalists and then a winner for the evening receives 60$ cash. From there, the winner is entered into a bracket that becomes an open-mic tournament starting in October. The grand prize winner receives 1000$! I thought that was a really awesome way to enhance the quality and grade of open-mic performers all the while, rewarding them for their talents.
I'm feeling better in terms of my "deep sinus infection". I've been taking anti-bodics twice a day and the coughing has subsided. Hooray!
Tomorrow we have a jam-packed day. In the morning we're visiting the Botanical Gardens where an art exhibition is located aside numerous exotic plants. I'm really excited about that. Afterwards, we set up a 50 minute tour of CNN for 2pm, and our PASTE magazine interview is at 4:30. We'll be sure to post some of the questions and answers--hopefully bringing some inspiration to independent art, business, and living. ;). THEN, we're off to a coffeehouse for a guided theology discussion that should be really interesting. If we're feeling up to it we might go to one of the hoppin' clubs in the "underground city".
Hopefully before we leave Atlanta we'll find more time and space to update and reflect. We've each been journaling a lot individually--drawing pictures, taking poloroids (camera provided by the wonderful, generous, and missed kathleen), cutting and pasting things from flies of places we visit, and of course--writing our most INTIMATE thoughts. :)
Tonight we went to a small coffee shop that just got it's start. It was cool to see a place beginning and really positive about their future and goals. URBAN GRIND was the name of the coffee shop and if you stop by Atlanta, it's on Marietta St--> support a local business!!
Well thanks for stopping in. Keep posted for pictures and more updates!
LOTS OF LOVEEEE
