Friday night I got talked into going to a Cash Bash.
Thats where 5 cover bands play in one night covers of the Man in Black ,Johnny Cash. And true to form since Ive been up here this was destined to be another fucked up night.

My local tour guide recommended this place called the Cajun Queen for its nonsnooty atmosphere but instead we found ourselves in the hangout for the supposed local Blue Bloods.

After an hour wait [they arent very good at this] we were crammed...

I have to admit. Im enjoying this change of venue up here in Charlotte.
Back in Atlanta we have our share of wierdos but the NC variety are a little less harmless and much more plentiful.

It seems you cant go out anywhere in this town without running into one -
And last night was no exception.

I met the crazy white devil woman over in a new part of town for some sushi. I should have realized this was a wierd part of town when the BiLo was knocked over earlier...

I cant ever catch a break.

This weekend I decided to go get some exercise so I conned one of the local tour guides to go with me to Blowing Rock,NC to do a breakin/ tune up hike.
Of course when I get up to go it looks like rain but Im stubborn and I give her the excuse that its a nice place and if all else fails we can find something else to do.

The weather does clean up and we set off on this short trail to the foot of some falls. Now if youve been hiking you know...

Another riveting episode of "Fun in Charlotte.

This week I was coerced into a Sat night flight to see a dude called the Voodoo Organist at this place called the MileStone.

Since the Crazy White Devil Woman had a previous commitment I was left in the capabile tour hands of Kelly Kelly and AJ.

AJ works with me and Bishop in the advertising department and some of you might remember him being on the front page of Consumption Junction doing some preformance...

Last night I decided to park downstairs close to the community post office for the condos that temporarily house Oprano HQ in Charlotte.

Its a fairly nice place. You have several resturants downstairs and a Starbucks directly 2 floors below me. So the neighboorhood is pretty nice and when those basketball tourneys come to town I am recessed enough to be insulated from the natives.

So last night I decided to park on the lower level long enough to get my mail and proceed...
