201 E Main St, Charlottesville, VA Latin American $$$ – Entrees $19-27
We were in Charlottesville not so long ago and really loved exploring the area. The city, like Charleston, has plenty of historical sites and also a fun, “hip” scene, too. We spent a lot of time window shopping along the Downtown Mall, and decided there was no better place to have dinner than there.
Zocalo is located right on the main pedestrian street with a huge outdoor patio. Fall is the perfect time for the patio so we waited a few minutes for a table then sat right down for some people watching.
One look at the menu, and Jeffrey and I [...]

Widespread Panic & Umphrey’s McGee 10/4/13 & 10/5/13 Fall Tour 2013 Review – October 4 & 5, 2013 – Family Circle Stadium – Charleston, SC
Umphrey’s took the stage right at 6pm starting their 1hr 15min set. By 7:50pm, Widespread Panic took the stage to start their first set.
Review from JamBands.com:
Widespread Panic and Umphrey’s McGee wrapped up a two night run at the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston, SC last night. The weekend featured headlining shows from Panic preceded by opening sets from Umphrey’s. While the two bands didn’t collaborate on night one, they certainly made up for it on Saturday night as [...]
8787 N. Scottsdale Rd – Ste 228, Scottsdale, AZ $ – Lunch $8-12 French cafe fare/Crepes
Situated in an upscale shopping center, Chez Vous immediately starts off on the right foot with plenty of outdoor seating–really giving it that Parisian cafe feel.
On the menu, you’ll find about a dozen different crepes–their specialty–and a good selection of traditional French sandwiches, salads and quiches.
Not a big fan of crepes, I jumped on the [highlight color=”grey/color”]NORMANDIE SALAD ($10.25)[/highlight]. The salad is described as having “baguette medallions covered with warm chèvre, atop mixed [...]

UVA and Charlottesville, Virginia
South Holston Dam near Bristol, Tennessee
48 Elizabeth Street $10 admission fee Open daily until 5pm, last tour departs at 4:15pm.
Jeffrey lived less than a block away from the Aiken Rhett House last year. For a whole year. A whole year! Everytime we’d walk past it, we’d talk about going inside. This gigantic mansion on such a tiny lot (better known as an Urban Plantation) always captivated us — but I guess not so much that we toured it during the whole year he lived down the block.
Finally, a few Sundays ago, we bit the bullet and headed over. You enter in the side of the house, not the front. Once you open the door, you immediately see an exquisite marble double staircase. A [...]
STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9) & Umphrey’s McGee 8/28/13 Summer Tour 2013 Review – August 28, 2013 – Uptown Amphitheatre at NC Music Factory – Charlotte, NC
Update 9/10: Finally got the STS9 videos up! See below.
Following a 20-30 minute set from the opening DJ, Umphrey’s took the stage right at 7pm starting their 1hr 45min set. Mixing in a few awesome covers (JJ Cale’s “Cocaine”) along with the classics, the band put on an awesome show–albeit the crowd was still rather sparse.
By 9:25pm, STS9 took the stage with an electric opener–the pit section was packed by this point! Review from [...]
