Monsoon looks wild. Saw some snippets on their FB and listened a bit on Southern Shelter.
Glad to watch this homecoming countdown again vs. avoiding the thread for months!

Just 'cause you're married now, doesn't mean you need to go all civilized on us! Take it from one who knows.Erdlivz wrote:Tickets purchased for all three nights. I can taste those Little Italy slices and Terrapin beers already. We're flying down early Wednesday to get settled in. Looking forward to getting back down to Athens and seeing everyone.
We may ritz it up and go to the Courtyard this time around.........
Reluctantly, our hero rises to the day, with a moan and a curse to an absent God.

We just booked 4 nights at the Holiday Inn Express (right across the street from the Dazed). If you call them and mention DBT they'll discount the rate from $117 to $79. It's a nice place, we've stayed there the last 4 years.
Turn you demons into walls of goddamned noise and sound.

The Courtyard is directly across the street. The Express is across from the Courtyard on Broad St..

IN for all 3 nights. Still waiting on which daughters are coming for which nights. On a personal note, one of my twins-Lauren-got married a couple of weeks ago. The father/daughter dance was Mercy Buckets and the bride/groom dance was the Allman Brothers. And I got to sit in with the band at the reception. I raised 'em right! Also, she and her husband got me a pair of drumsticks with "I will bring you buckets of mercy" engraved on one and "And hold your hand while you're crossing the street" on the other. Talk about a prized possession!!
Anyway, where's the list? I'm looking at you Dr. John!

Went great, thanks. Took your advice and just ad libbed it and spoke from the heart. Held my shit together all weekend and did my crying in private! But I was definitely staring through my own tail lights and gathering speed.beantownbubba wrote:How did the speech go?Markalanbishop wrote:IN for all 3 nights.

Friday & Saturday booked for me. Finally going to make a homecoming.
Re: Homecoming 2016 40 Watt Club Athens, GA 2/11,12 & 13
I bought tickets for all 3 nights for myself and a buddy who's also a big Trucker's fan. We're gonna drive up from Austin. I've never been to Georgia and am looking forward to the rock shows at the 40 Watt, good food, and a little exploring of the history of the town and state. I know there's plenty. I've already been looking at the hotel recommendations here on the forum. At 48, I've still got a shitload of party in me but can't quite decide yet between a keg in the bathtub and the more upscale alternatives.
Regardless, I'm excited about the trip and hope to meet some of y'all there! I hope the winter weather will be nice that weekend.

I think the Delines are done for the moment. My local venue has a Richmond Fontaine gig booked for next April so guess Willy's back on that horse.Smitty wrote:man I was hoping Patterson got together with Willy Vlautin and booked the Delines.
I'm very happy that Will Johnson is doing two of the shows.

Can you tell me how to tell when I've had enough?

Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.
