dv8dgrrlOh this weekend went by way too fast. Odd weekend it was too.
Saturday after work, we went up to Starbridge and walked around a bit before heading to the Emerald Rose concert. We had a really nice dinner at Gabee's Cajun restaurant. Yummm, spices... We got to Crimson Moon mega early, in hopes to actually get a seat this time. (they tend to oversell the room and leave most people standing) They had done some remodeling at Crimson Moon which DID give more seating, but we were quickly informed by the owner that she had sold over 3/4 of the room as reserved seating and that we would have to move when those people starting coming in. We had a discussion with her right on the spot explaining our feelings on that matter. There apparently was no real announcement about this ahead of time, except thru their (the cafe's)own personal email list. We went ahead and moved to a back table and watched as the people just flooded in. Soon it was so overwhelmingly packed that I started to wig. Ochlaphobic (fear of crowds). Eeeeek. Anyway...the owner got up on stage after ER's sound check and announced the BS about the reserved seating...and asked that those without reserved seats stand so those that paid ahead can take their seat. On the "honor system", as she put it. We of course stood and was getting ready to move out the way when she made an effort to point us out and say we were ok. Bullshit. We are no different from anyone else there who didn't pay ahead. Regardless of how well we know everyone or for how long. Another in my party was flat insulted about the whole thing and we left, rather abrubtly. Went to drive home and got all the way there before we realized my car was still in my work's parking lot. So we drove all the way back to Sandy Springs so I could pick it up. (never trust a Sandy Springs parking lot overnight) Sunday I tried to sleep in late. No go. errrrrr. Got up and worked on one of Evocation's songs for about an hour and went ahead on to rehearsal. Rehearsal was fun and I think we actually got some work done. Everything was organized and scheduled which I think made things much much easier. Couple of new things coming up I am really looking forward to doing.
This coming weekend I am driving up to Indiana to visit with the 'rents. Kinda looking forward to that. Good style Momma home cookin' and being pampered all weekend. Which I deserve on a regular basis. Too bad I got to drive to Indiana to get it...lol.

No problem, it was sincere, feel free to call me on it at any time. *hugs*
What are you up to lately, do you still go to PHP? Where would we stand a good chance of running into you?
