After I spoke at the conference panel, I went back to Virginia-Highlands for dinner, and found this cool place call Yeah Burger, whose slogan is “Keeping It Real.” Nice atmosphere, great burgers and reasonable prices.

San Francisco Coffee Roasting Company in Virginia-Highlands, Atlanta
The Virginia-Highlands area in Atlanta is home to several coffee bars, and I need caffeine before my conference panel! June 21, 2011
Having A Taste of History at Zesto’s Drive-Ins @ZestoATL
Zesto Drive-Ins are an institution in Atlanta, and occasionally pop up elsewhere (Evansville, Indiana and Columbia, South Carolina come to mind), and they were “fast food” before there was fast food. Now they seem to be expanding in Atlanta, and while the classic original locations are the best for their architectural value, the new ones have an attractive retro look as well. The burgers are good too, and at a reasonable price.
Views From the SUMC 2011 at @ParkTavern in Piedmont Park
This year’s Southeast Urban Music Conference was held at the Park Tavern in Piedmont Park in Atlanta, and because of that was kind of reminiscent of SUMC’s early days when I first became involved. The outdoor patio is a remarkable place for artist performances.

The Legendary Sun Studios, home of Elvis, Carl, Cash, Conway. This is where mainstream rock-and-roll began.
For the masses.
You are the reason I listen to rock and punk. Without you, there would be no punk. Because of you, there is punk.
