ted leo in atlanta and hiking in bankhead...

So..Dan, Hannah and I drove up to Bankhead National Forest (about 1.5 hours North of us) today for a nice little nature hike.  While driving Hannah had a bit of an "incident"..it happens to everyone....riding in the back seat of a car, windy roads...upset stomach...well...of course this happened in Dan's car....and I happened to get some video of it...you may want to stop it in the last few seconds if you're eating...but for some reason I find it kind of hilarious (However, Dan does not...which I can understand after seeing him clean up dog puke off the side of his car...).  I meant to take a picture of Hannah enjoying the car ride, because she rarely sticks her noggin' out the window....then we got another surprise....at least now we know what to look for before Hannah gets car sick.  1) Frothing at the mouth, 2) jowls stretched thin, 3) dry heaving that soon becomes not dry....

Lest you think this phased her, she was a trooper and galloped to and fro throughout our little jaunt.   At one point she fell on her face...seriously.  AND I happened to get a picture of that...but I really was just taking a picture of her galloping about and I didn't WANT her to fall on her face...but she bounced back...and it ends up being a decent picture...so...a win win for everyone really...the link is a the end of this post...

Also, earlier in the week we went to Atlanta to see Ted Leo play at the Drunken Unicorn.  The DU is almost impossible to find unless you are in the "know"...We were not in the said "know", but we managed to spot some hipsters that looked like the Ted Leo type and BAM! we were led to the bar/club that is the Drunken Unicorn.  From their website we read that they have no sign, and have no phone...so if you forgot to write down explicit directions like I did, you are pretty much screwed.  TL played an AWESOME setlist with plenty of his great stage banter...a lot of old mixed in with newer songs and totally brand new songs.  One of those brand spankin' new songs was called "the little smug supper club" which is pretty perfect because Dan and I just started a supper club this past week as I posted about earlier!  It was a pretty great song and I spent most of the show video taping from my camera.  They ended up turning out pretty decent sound wise, not so much video wise....I will try to post one, but I realized afterwards that the mic on the camera faces me...which means there are a lot of clips with me singing along to songs I clearly a) do not know all the words to, and b) have no business singing because I am a god-awful singer...
Warning, as a proper Irish Catholic Boy, Ted drinks whiskey, and occasionally curses..if you start the video at 15 seconds, you'll skip the expletive...
