Saturday Night Live...

While I was partying (and sipping) the night away at my ten year high school reunion...Anthony David was having a release party in ATL for his new project "ACEY DUCEY". Had I NOT been at the reunion...I DEFINITELY would have been there. Did anyone go? How was it? If you haven't had the chance to see him live...DO IT! I had the pleasure of seeing him at an accoustic set in Detroit a couple years ago. For YOUR convience, here's his tour schedule. You can't say you didn't know....:-)… Continue

Well...Friday was no ordinary day. I woke up in Pittsburgh, PA :the city of firsts (http://pittsburgh.about.com/cs/aboutpittsburgh/a/facts_2.htm). Instead of flying for five or six hours...I SAT in Pitts ALL-DAY-LONG before catching a ride on a flight back to ATL. Now, upon arriving in the Pitts...I'd sadly discovered that… Continue
