Every fall in Georgia, it gets cold for about a week and then the weather turns unusually warm for one to two more weeks.
And then it gets really cold again and stays that way for the rest of the winter.
Well, I’m glad to report that we’re still in that warm phase and it’s really nice. This past weekend was especially beautiful. All of the trees varying shades of yellow, orange and red, the sky a crystal clear blue and the temperature hovering in the mid 70’s. When you add a cold beer to the mix, your enjoyment factor goes through the roof.
I spent Saturday afternoon hanging out at the Chomp N Stomp festival in Cabbagetown and I’m here to report that it was a fine ol’ time. I was there to lend a percussive hand to my friends in the Georgia Fireflies, a group made up of Jeff and Leanna from Silent Kids. The Fireflies play old timey bluegrass and I joined them up on the stage for a few tunes. My weapon of choice was the spoons. Here are a few pictures.
Playing with the Georgia Fireflies was a lot of fun. My only regret was that even though I brought my own spoons, I didn’t sample any of the chili. I guess that makes me more of a stomper than a chomper. Oh well, maybe next year.
