and num nums and road-tripped to Atlanta to see PJ Harvey perform with John Parish
and friends. The trip was a much needed departure from Gainesville's routine and familiarity.
Here are the resulting photos taken with a Motorola Krazor.
We stayed with our friend Albert who is staying in Atlanta with his family for the summer.
Here is Mosephine and Albert waiting for our burritos at El Myr(pronounced like Beer)
in Little 5 Points, ATL
Pictured below is a sparkly Lady GaGa sticker on one of ATL's bus stop signs.
Both Robert and Mosephine were bummed that they missed the Lady a few months prior.
Albert in his new shirt from Rag O Rama, a consignment store in Litte 5 Pts.
The 3 of us walked away with a new or 2 or 3.
Robert in front of Rag O Rama giving Elaine directions to us.
Elaine eventually found us. We dropped Albert off at his residency before heading to the venue
to see PJ and John.
Here is Elaine and Robert in front of the ATL sky line arriving at Center Stage.
We got pretty good spots save the drunk goth guy in front of us inappropriately grazing some girls'
backs to the beat of each song. It was really annoying and distracting. He fell back onto
Mosephine more than once.
Regardless, here is the lovely and amazing PJ Harvey fixing her bra strap or something sexy like that.
One of my favorite pictures from the trip. PJ Harvey and John Parish mimicking the city sky line
Robert's Tori friends met up with him at the show. The dark, shadowy picture of him is with Berry who
bought our tickets for us at the venue so we wouldn't have to pay service fees.
They were great.
Robert and Elaine at the Chevron while we fueled up for the late night 5+ hour drive home.
After buying a few (more than a few) 40oz. beers for our friends at home in Gainesville (where
40s are illegal and only experienced through Michelle Tea and Cristy Road memoirs),
Robert and Elaine get one last round of directions from the gas station attendant.
We mainly used the GPS for directions. [Read: Gas Pump Style]
We got some locals to take our picture to commemorate our last moments together in ATL before we forked.
Elaine had to drive back to Savannah. Mosephine and Robert to Gainesville.
Here, Robert and Mosephine try to use expressions that would adequately convey the feeling
of driving through the night after a full day in ATL and the PJ show, which is emotionally draining
in and of itself.
Robert is the best road trip partner. The 5+ drive felt like >5 minutes. We spent the time analyzing our hopes,
dreams and fears and drawing connections between our lovelorn lives.
Mosephine thinks she saw you in the shadows
