We were all so happy when Big Boi’s part of the remix of the “I’m Soooo Hoood” song came on when driving through East Point, Atlanta. We’ve been to Atlanta maybe 10-15 times in our lives and we are still seeking that magic that Outkast found, raised and killed. Haven’t ran into it yet, but the search continues. Atlanta is a thick and ghostly town that will not tell her secrets. It was also the first city where I saw a black family (Dad, Mom, three kids and all) riding bicycles down the street in the sun. You will never see that in L.A. It paralyzed me. I didn’t know what to do. It kinda scared me. Then they passed us and I let out a “What in the world is going on!?!” I loved it! Anyway, the show at the Drunken Unicorn was perfect. Great sound and people and they got to smoke cigarettes inside. Afterwards we visited warm, round and friendly hobbits and talked till 5am. Atlanta, I’m gonna crack you soon. Seven-hour drive to New Orleans and then SXSW!!
