I actually think we're going to this. We had a reservation at the restaurant the ice storm year of Holiday Hangout but canceled due to the weather. The restaurant made a top ten in the country list a couple of years ago in Bon Apetit I think. Do you have reason to believe it's not good?

Just the opposite! The entree I got both evenings I went there for music was delicious and sixteen dollars. There was nothing else on the menu that sounded good, but this was wonderful. It was also the cheapest entree on the menu. That's not why I got it--it was also the only one that looked tasty--but that figured in, too.

Possibly I'm a reverse food snob who looks down on fancy foofy foodie meals. And possibly I'm just cheap. Given the prices in fancier restaurants in bigger cities, this is probably a pretty good deal. I'll probably go myself, and getting a good table will probably require ordering dinner. And then I'll spend sixteen bucks and grumble.

Or maybe not. We'll see how it goes.

Ha! Fair enough we're admitted foodies and compared to some the menu looked quite reasonable to be honest. Odd to be thinking of a December show in May.

I sure wish Patterson had been playing a few weeks ago when Tracy dragged me to an Indigo Girls show lol. Full disclosure: The Indigo Girls weren't that bad.

Sold out, near as I can tell. Oh, well. Worse things will happen to me than missing this show.

Once went ti an Indigo Girls show in Milwaukee, went to piss during intermission, and the line of women was out and around the corner from both the men's and women's. The girls waved me in and saying there were three urinals free but only two sit downs. I don't believe I ever peed in front of so many women at one time, and I must have really needed to go too, 'cause I remember being proud that I didn't have any stage fright :lol:

Well shit. So much for my GA plans. I'll be hoping for a minor miracle.

I'm sorry but if there's a choice to be made and it's between Hangout and Homecoming I feel your presence is required in Athens. ;) Now we'll be at both abd if we could see you in both places that would be bonus. We love us some OBL time.

Never have had a problem with Indigo Girls. In fact, I've been a fan since I first heard "Closer To Fine". Amy Ray also has a rock band that's well worth checking out as well as this excellent record she released last year that's more of a country outing. Fans of Mount Moriah might be interested to know that Heather McEntire puts in a guest appearance on the album. Not a huge stretch as Mount Moriah has toured with Indigo Girls on a few occasions over the past several years.

^^^^ I listened to that album quite a bit after seeing it pop up on various "best of year" lists. Not bad at all.

By the way, if anyone has to cancel coming to this show, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep me in mind for a ticket.

I know it's a long shot, but I've put up a note on the Facebook event for this show to see if we can work out a seat-sharing arrangement with any Indigo Girls fans who might be willing to let us defray the costs of their tickets. We'll see how it goes.

I knew this had to be happening!

Over the course of ten albums with the Drive-By Truckers, the band he co-founded, and three acclaimed solo records, songwriter Patterson Hood has developed a style that blends a heart-rending observation of Southern culture with a healthy respect for the power of myth in ways that have placed him firmly in the company of great American storytellers like Twain and Welty.

"As a songwriter, I've spent the better part of my career trying to capture both the Southern storytelling tradition and the details the tall tales left out, putting this dialectical narrative into the context of rock songs," Hood says of a career that has seen him turn his hand to prose with success as well. Last July, Hood's op-ed piece, "The South's Heritage Is So Much More Than Just A Flag," appeared in the New York Times Magazine, shortly after Hood published the lyrics to a new song inspired by the events in Ferguson, Missouri.

Join us on Friday, December 4, as Patterson Hood tells stories and sings songs about living in (and leaving) the South and his life in rock and roll and the Drive-By Truckers in our next installment of the Frank and Kula Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series, in partnership with the Clinton School of Public Service and AT&T.

When: Friday, December 4, 2015, doors open at 6:00 p.m.
Where: Clinton Presidential Center Great Hall

*Reserve your seats by emailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or calling (501) 683-5239.
I've asked for three tickets, so I can cover OBL and Rod, who are on a whole other time zone. The rest of you are on your own!
