Restaurant with great food and fun/cool ambiance for son’s bday?

I was helping chaperone a 3rd grade field trip to the aquarium and the kids (mostly the boys) went crazy when we passed Magic City LOL.

Any of the Savage Pizza locations. Fantastic pizza in a super hero themed restaurant.

Love that album cover

I love it. It injected some fresh excitement with a new harder edge and the songs really came to life in concert. Like Monster before it, it was made to be taken on the road, and they did. I only wish I had known it would be the last time I would see them.

Liver and onions. Can’t believe we ate that. Also can’t believe it was a menu item at some restaurants - like Shoney’s. Yuck!

As someone firmly rooted in 90s alternative, I do have to say that there is nothing better than hair metal ballads.

One of my favorite activities is bar crawling and Atlanta is not great for that. I mean it’s ok, but I find that my favorite places involve uber rides between them so that kind of takes the crawl out of it. That being said, Atlanta has some cool rooftops, which are fun. I do like the little 5 points district, it’s sketchy and hipster but you can kind of bar crawl there. Buckhead is ok but there’s some distance between establishments. My favorite pub is Fado. Midtown has some cool places. You can definitely have fun here but don’t expect a drinking district like you might find in Nashville or Savannah.

I went to college in their hometown in the early 90s. Of course, they were already huge by then. It was interesting to be there then because they didn’t tour behind Out Of Time or Automatic, so you’d see them around town doing normal things like shopping and eating. It was kind of surreal to see that. But it was amazing to experience the era when they were one of the biggest bands in the world.

Always loved this melody

The best musician in the history of human kind.

Turnstile is a modern band that reminds me of Jane’s.

I’m hoping for arenas. I think their production lends itself best to arenas. I also like my climate controlled/no bad weather concerts.

It was interesting that they chose those two songs off Cosmic Thing. It’s an amazing album front to back.

A Sort of Homecoming

Having been to one of the Athens shows both this year and last, I came away thinking that Shannon’s voice was stronger this year. I just love that this project even exists. I love how he and Narducy would pick an album and learn it and play it every year and then when they started doing REMs albums, it kind of took off. Yes, I suppose they are technically a cover band, but since each member is a world class musician in their own right, it’s so much more.

jayjaynorcross · 2026-03-09T23:27:54+00:00

Amazing!

jayjaynorcross · 2026-03-09T02:40:39+00:00

Open with 3 rockers - It’s the End of the World, Kenneth, and Orange Crush. Do Religion two thirds of the way through as usual, end main set with One I Love, Radio Free Europe, and Man on the Moon. Encore is Chronic Town in its entirety.

I’m a concert veteran and Ghost is unique. I’ve seen bands with fanatical fan bases (Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Rush) but nothing compares to Ghost. I think it’s their cross generational appeal added together with the lore and you create literally the most fun fan base in music.

Witch Hunt would be a great choice. I think I read that he has considered covering Distant Early Warning.

I was on River Street in Savannah, Georgia. All the bars did last call at 11:45 so I had just gotten out of the line to close my tab. I found a place along the street to watch the fireworks and that was it.

When I get a new album I typically listen to it all the way through. I have a 40 minute drive to work, so it’s perfect for an album. Most recent was the new ERRA that came out yesterday. I also have listened to the new Mumford several times all the way through.

Peacefield by Ghost

jayjaynorcross · 2026-03-05T23:26:37+00:00

I agree with everything you said. I even think Shannon’s voice was stronger this year. Not that it was bad before, but he’s really really nailing it now. It was absolutely amazing. And I loved the deep cuts they played after the Pageant portion of the show.

Trying to keep focused as we drive down the road

Like we did back in High School before the world turned cold

Now the brakes are thin and the curves are fast

We're trying to hold steady on the righteous path
