athens, first post





i think it's a good way to start this athens part of my life with a few shots from a bike ride. only this time i have a real bike. it's not pink. it's purple. dark purple i should say. much better than the one i bought in berlin. i ride it everyday to terrapin. i only live 2.4 miles away from there. more hill than berlin though. the first shot i hope some of you can recognize. i haven't eaten there yet, but i will. just checked the resolution and you'll have to click on the picture to see the sign. it was closed when i found it. just sort of ran into it one day. the second one is for dave. pretty cool looking train tressel. think that's what you call it anyway. then there's a picture of the oconee river. i lived close to it for the first three weeks in athens at my cousin sam's house. not much of a river and i still haven't found a swimming hole. the last 2 are going into terrapin territory. the first is a concert the brewery got tickets to at this really cool place outside of athens called ashford manor. could be misspelled. some latin jazz band was playing(grogus). not my kind of thing but they were good and we had a really good time. brought lots of terrapin bier with us and bob the filter guy made these killer paninis. the last shot is us getting a group picture made for the website or something. i got someone to take one for me. it was at this employee appreciation party we had a few weeks ago at the brewery. had some good pork butt and ribs. no good sauce. storebought. i'll have to do something about that.

John- I did not realize your blog was still up! I love the Athens pictures, especially the train trestle. Jones and I just ordered tickets to see the Avett Brothers at the Georgia Theatre on Thursday, October 2nd. We would love for you to join us for the show. It was great to see you in Columbia this weekend and we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks in Athens!
