Journey To Light And Progress Tour Index page
On the morning of October 9th Chris, Andrew and I ate breakfast at the Canopy Road Cafe in Tallahassee; stopped at a local Goodwill store (where I bought audiocassettes of John Waters reading from his books Shock Value and Crackpot; and then stopped off for a visit with Andrew's friend Julia Brant ... before traveling on to Stone Mountain and the Blak Casl.
The Blak Casl is home of the Sounds From The Pocket label, operated by Justin Waters, and site of the Freedumb Fest Noise events. This was the last Noise show at the Blak Casl.
