Finding Tupelo in Athens, GA

Matt signals that Wuxtry Records in Athens passes the "Tupelo Test."

Captain Tupelo is of course as everyone knows, "The World's Greatest Junkie Superhero." and forgotten Punk Rock legend.

Ghost Plantation

Wormsloe, near Savannah, Georgia. Before heading out on the hiking trail to the ruins of the former plantation I went up to the woman at the desk of the visitor center.

Me-"I've got a question about how long the trail is."

Her-Stares at me blankly.

Me-"Uhh, how long is the trail?"

Down South Jukin'

Joana was pregnant so we made a lot of pit stops on the Skyline Drive as we headed down to Athens, GA to visit another of my friends who has fled The Elm City. I figured he'd have six months of southern hospitality before he headed back to the Northeast, the only home he'd ever known. That was Fall of 2004 and no sign of a return yet, I shouldn't be surprised when love is involved. I guess a double-wide out in the sticks is as good an environment to write as any. I'm sure there are less distractions than there were on Nicoll Street with me and everyone else perpetually dropping in to hang out.
