Yes, yes. I am still alive. I am not sure that my mood is REALLY any better than it was a few weeks ago (post-gay campground). Oh well.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, work has been soul-crushing; there was company in town this past weekend, and the previous weekend, I was in Atlanta with Michelle (known in the archives as Tomjones) to see Tori Amos at Atlanta Symphony Hall.<\/p>\n

\"Tori<\/a>Tori Amos has been on my live bucket list for a while, and it finally happened! It ended up being a pretty magical trip all the way around.<\/p>\n

The concert was great … though Tori didn’t play my favoritest song of hers, “A Sorta Fairytale.” You can’t win them all. But we had great seats and the setlist was a real mix of songs from her 18 (!) albums.<\/p>\n

The Setlist:
\n“Fire to Your Plain”
\n“Shush”
\n“Iieee”
\n“Ruby Through the Looking Glass”
\n“Mary”
\n“China” (with Improv Intro)
\n“Strange” (with Improv Intro)
\n“Witness”
\n“Precious Things”
\n“Little Amsterdam”
\n“Taxi Ride”
\n“Spring Haze”
\n“Big Wheel”
\n“Cornflake Girl”<\/p>\n

Pre-concert, we stumbled into a bar attached to the hotel we were staying in. To say we were smitten with this place would be an understatement. What can I say about JoJo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge<\/strong><\/a> to fully describe how magical it is? Lush decor, banging disco\/early ’80s dance tunes, and sweet cocktails. We got back to the hotel and decided to go back down for one more drink and to soak in the atmosphere. Needless to say, one drink led to five. All the while, the tunes were thumping with everyone being beautiful and feeling the groove. At one point, I told Michelle that I could get lost in a place like JoJo’s. I would just ride that wave of dance beats and cocktails until I disappeared. What a great time we had!<\/p>\n

Anyhoo. Here are some more snaps from the Atlanta roadtrip …<\/p>\n
