Weekend Wind-Down #111

(Joe, devouring half a pizza at TRANSMET...)

It's been a while since we've done a WEEKEND WIND-DOWN because we've been super busy with house guests the past couple of weeks. After Popfest, Missy's baby brother, JOE, stopped at the Ranch on his way up from Tampa, Florida. He had driven down to Tampa from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a job interview with a children's museum that's opening up there. After spending a week with cousins in Florida, Joe stopped in Athens and spent a week hanging out with us. Of course, we spent a lot of time going out to eat, because there's lots of good food to be had here in Athens. We're spoilt for choice...


(...and then suffering the consequences soon afterwards...)



We went to ATHICA last weekend for the opening of their "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" exhibition. We wanted to show Joe that besides great music and great food, Athens also had great ART...we were determined to show-off the multi-faceted awesomeness of this little college town...





HAVI and Missy traded fashion tips and then partook in the "AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION" component of the exhibition...
