Long before we planned on moving to Carolina, we bought tickets for Spamalot at the Fabulous Fox, which meant one thing, another 4 hour drive along I-85, which makes it our 13th time (it would be 14, but we drove down I-77 to I-20 one time to stop by Robyn’s parents house in Milledgeville) doing that journey in the last 10 or so weeks. Frankly I’ll be happy if we never do it again, but we have to drive back to Milledgeville next month to pick up my mum…
So we left home at about 6:30, and by the time we got to Carnesville, just past the South Carolina/Georgia border, we were both running low on energy, so we stopped at the Petro there for some coffee and sugar to get us the last 80 or so miles. We eventually rolled into Atlanta around 11pm. An early rise the next morning was not what I really wanted but we had to go to Lowe’s, IKEA, Restoration Hardware, Container Store and Bed, Bath & Beyond as well as cleaning up the condo before headed downtown for a meal at the Gordon Biersch on Peachtree before the show.
We were going to the show with a handful of Robyn’s old co-workers, Dave and Lori also showed up to “have my back” as I’d be outnumbered by Robyn’s friends… It would also be the last chance I’d get to hang out with any of the APWBWGTTD for the foreseeable future, so that was cool. I spent pretty much all my time talking to Dave and Lori, sharing jokes watching Dave wax lyrical about the virtues of spam, he apparently loves the processed pork. Not my choice of meat, but in the words of Dave, whatevs…
The show it’s self was side splittingly funny, highly recommended if you ever have the chance, it’s only in Atlanta till March 4th or thereabouts.
