Right off the bat, someone guessed what was in the case. Jess, you were correct.
Yes, within the case is a ton of Argus materials: lyrics, contracts, stickers, promotional items and set lists. Why is this important? Well aside from the fact Argus is the most influential band of the past three centuries, we are also making a small comeback.
In two weeks we are converging on Virginia Beach to visit with the Lee's. Anna is the newest addition to the Argus family, now around 9 months old and the rest of us haven't had a chance to meet her. Not only will that change in two weeks, she'll also get her first Argus concert at her very own home! Totally cool, right? So yes the weekend is partly about friends, partly about some music but mostly about welcoming little Miss Anna into our family.

Thanks to our good friend Matt, Court and I were able to take in U2 at the Georgia Dome last week. Normally we are not ones to stay up late or out on week day nights. So when we got home at 1:30am and had to wake up at 5am, we realized we'd be struggling the rest of the week. And we did, but it was absolutely worth it.
For years now I've had a top 5 live concerts I've wanted to see live. In recent years three of those have been checked off the list, with James Taylor in Nashville and both REM and now U2 in Atlanta. None of those have disappointed, and U2 certainly brought it last Tuesday. I've always heard or read their shows are these tremendous displays and that was the case. Not only was the music outstanding but the stage and video set-up was insane. They spare no expense on presentation, and I am thrilled we were able to check out the show. Thanks Matt.
Oh, and the remaining two on the top 5 list? Springsteen and the combo of Elton John and Billy Joel. My first concert ever was Billy Joel with my parents years ago, but I'd love to see those two together.

While the football season continues to be disappointing (and seriously, is this NOT the most boring college football season ever?), we were fortunate to welcome some friends from the Left Coast to last weekend's LSU Game. Eric and Janice jumped on a plane in San Diego, flew into Atlanta and ended up spending the weekend with us in Athens. We spent a little time on the town Friday night. Saturday was all about SEC football.
They were able to experience true tailgating, SEC style. Apparently it leaves PAC-10 tailgating in the dust. Not a shock. They enjoyed tailgating with Doug's crew for a bit and then wandered up to North Campus to enjoy the sea of humanity that is the quad. Court was great enough to give up her seats for the game, so unfortunately they had a great seat for the Dogs' loss. At least it was an exciting game with both teams scoring in the last 90 seconds.
Was supposed to get in some free golf today as the Tip-Off Club was hosting their annual tournament. Mother Nature has opened the heavens yet again on Georgia, so the rain will probably keep us off the course. That actually works well since there are plenty of phone calls to be made. Heading to Nashville this weekend for the Georgia/Vandy game and still have some appointments to make. At least the week will end with seeing some good old friends in one of my favorite cities.
