News:
All of these photos were taken from February 22nd to Februrary 25th. It began in Birmingham for the Black Lips / Fatal Flying Guilloteens at Bottletree and then the tour continued on to Atlanta at Whirlyball. After the 23rd, the BL/FFG show moved on to Athens, and Mastodon played Centerstage on the 24th. While in Atlanta I met up with Jake from Norma Jean to do a few photos and eat burritos, and eventually we ended up at Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles. On the 25th, my TBS boys played Birmingham with Underoath and Armor for Sleep. It was amazing seeing them again, even though it had only been two months since we did those press photos in Tampa. If you live in Lowell, MA or the surrounding area, I think I'm flying up for the TBS show there in April for my birthday. All these sentances do not make sense.
