After a couple of false starts, I finally got to see my good friend and terrific musician Antic Clay perform at the East Atlanta Icehouse.
Now, I know that some of the bands I've been working with this year will garner national attention one of these days: you know, all over the radio, selling out arenas, on MTV (their houses, not their music).

So I showed up for Antic Clay's concerts at the brand new East Atlanta Icehouse on Friday night, only to find out that they still haven't opened! ARGH! Will the frustrating anticipation ever end?!
