Saturday evening after Hifi Buys, we all rode over to KR Steakbar, one of Atlanta chef Kevin Rathbun's restaurants. If you watch the Food Network you may have heard of him, he's won Chopped a couple of times and Iron Chef if I remember correctly. Anyway, really cool, trendy restaurant with some good people watching to boot.



Afterwards, someone made a comment about Motley Crue and wanted to know where the legendary Tattletales "night" club was located. (From the song Girls Girls Girls just in case) Always the tour guide, I informed the party that it just so happened to be about 5 minutes from the restaurant so we rode by (did NOT GO IN ) and snapped a picture, so here ya go:



It was a pretty long evening, once we got home, we had our own "bar" at home and let it ride until about 1:30 AM....haven't listened that late in a long time.....spun a bunch of vinyl and continued streaming as well. I had a good time trying to convince a couple of the guys of the merits of the Telarc digital classical CDs. Great time.

Sunday morning started with breakfast and Rob trying to kidnap my dog Wilson.....Wilson is well...........this picture says it all, he is quite the character and has a ton of personality for better of worse (he did hang with us until late the night before):





He's just a mess (Wilson, not Rob).

We continued on Sunday morning with Classic Rock Sunday.....got away from the audiophile stuff and went with Classic Records pressings of Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy, an original DCC vinyl pressing of Paul Simon's debut album, my Beatles BC-13 blue box, The Beatles in mono and a Bob Ludwig mastered AC/DC Back in Black. Ed streamed some country in the form of Waylon Jennings, had another great time.






Tried a panoramic pic of the listening session




Rob is staying with his brother in Atlanta for a couple of days and was great enough to ride them back to the airport on Sunday afternoon. That pretty much does it for the weekend. Thanks to the guys from coming all this way, hope everyone enjoyed it. I'd love to do it again with more folks as well.

- Buck

Sounds like a great weekend. Happy to hear Hifi Buys picked up the Wilson line. I'll have to make a trip down to visit them again when I make it back to Asheville.
