Amazing night, amazing venue, amazing food! Kayte and Kevin joined us tonight, and for the next 5 shows. They were awesome! My mom also 
came to visit, down from Cornelia. She doesn't like to drive long trips these days, so it was great to see her. And man, the Java Monkey in Decatur GA is a place worth stopping by if you can. We will definitely be coming back. The music space is a covered stage area that is outside. There is a lot of foot traffic in this area. It has a cool downtown vibe, kinda like Trade Street, back home. We were in 
downtown Atlanta last night, and that feels metropolitan, with sky scrapers and lights, but this part of Atlanta was much further south, and felt like another town. We played to a receptive crowd, sold some merch, and got some terrific food. I mean like melted brie and apples, pita bread with hummus to die for, chef salad full of lots of beautifully colored baby greens, mozzarella/tomato sandwiches, 
amaretto butter cream cake, and mango black tea. Yeah.
It was awesome. A guy came by as we were packing up, and he went crazy for the green guitar. He was a little drunk, but he was appreciating all the right things about it. He had an eye that picked up a lot of the unique craftsmanship of the instrument. He requested to hear a song, so we pulled out an acoustic and did an impromptu version of "I love the way you smell" with Scott playing dumbek, and Kevin beating on suitcases. It was cool. He signed the email list,
and then shoved some money in my hand since we had already packed the tip jar. All in all, a great night! Getting up wicked early for a trip to Mobile, though. G'night friends!
Zoo, on the road.
