Another long Absinthe!
Brief recap:
Saw the 13 Most Beautiful performance by Dean & Britta at the IMA for the Andy Warhol exhibit. Exhibit was cool too.
Went on a backpacking trip to the Linville Gorge in the Pisgah National Forest, near Asheville NC. Me, Adrian, John Veltri & BJ Livingston. We had a wonderful time. If you get the chance to go there, do it. We had quite an adventure.
Saw the reunited GBV again, this time at the Bluebird in Bloomington. They had definitely tightened up since the Vegas show. Have tickets to see them in Nashville on January 19th. Will likely hit Roberts Western Wear during the day, my favorite Nashville hangout!
With Jonny V saw Bobby Bare Jr at a house party in Beech Grove. 2 hours of pure fun. You name it, he played it. Did the great combo-cover of Sister Goldenhair/Where is My Mind! (America/Pixies) Bought vinyl from him outta the back of his car!
