for a while there (80s-early 2000s) it was the BEST producer of local music in the country. Lived in Athens on and off for 10 years including some years at UGA.. it is a great place for the most part.
Both of my kids attended UGA, my daughter graduated a couple of years ago and my son's a senior. Both have loved their experience.

Saw them at the Classic Center a few years back. Can't wait to get back and do it again. Saw My Morning Jacket at the Georgia Theater around then too.
Happened to work in a downtown restaurant in the early 2000s that panic would frequent. Todd's wife and Todd were in there a lot, one of Schools's best friends was a coworker friend of mine, so he was in there a bunch and i got to know him a bit....I got to see Mikey play his last show ever at the theatre (it was a a Bloodkin show)..but the craziest **** was one day working at the restaurant during lunch, came down to the bar to get some drinks for my table and who is sitting at the bar by themselves? JB, no one else there. he looked at my to say hello.. i couldn't really even get "hello" out. haha

I missed the classic theater a couple of times and regret it. Just finished 3 nights and some bloodkin up here 2 weekends back.

oh and speaking of this bar/ restaurant that i worked at, Crumpy Edwards and Eric Carter of Bloodkin were regulars (like in there about 4 or 5 days a week). Great people. So sad about the recent Bloodkin news. The final album is sooooo good.

At Savannah St now…prob his last chance.

Arrested last night for shoplifting and obstruction
We all know these type of players. Their brain is wired different. Just like my brother. Got killed last year robbing a liquor store with 2 other guys who could have been his kids. Chance after chance, bailed outa jail, sent money to start business. Didnt need any of it, he had his own money. Same thing here, squandering chances other people would die for. Its prettt sad, i was at the funeral looking at that idiot like, u dumb hass. Wasnt gonna end any other way, was it? Hope this guy can get his act together. But the more chances they get its actual the worse things they do.
