Seeing as how I'm rattling about at loose ends on a Friday night -- Mark's been out of town for a week visiting his family -- I thought I'd mention something I recently learned. Though maybe only Thomas and I will care. In the spring of 1988, I attended the one Thomas Dolby show that I have had the privilege to see. It was at the Cotton Club, a nice intimate club right off of Peachtree Street (the main street of the city) in a cool area of town. The show was incredible, and I can still remember being watching it while perched on a railing towards the back. In fact, it was such a memorable experience -- I remember what I was wearing (a white tailored-looking blouse), the two guys who flirted with me most of the night (Mark wasn't able to make it), how the band looked, how Mike Kapitan introduced "The Ability to Swing" (which I thought was just a bit uncivilized), the interesting little interlude in the middle of "Airhead," the intro to "Windpower" at the end of the concert, etc. Furthermore, for about as long as I can remember, that spot has been a really neat music club. It's been through several owners, but that's what the building has been since years before that show. Who knows what else that stage has seen. Well, I just heard yesterday that some developer has bought the Cotton Club and is going to tear it down. Along with the inexpensive and funky little restaurants adjacent to it. To build a parking lot. Perhaps this is part of Atlanta's continuing quest to become Los Angeles. Ah, well, maybe I'm just a little moody tonight -- better stop before bringing everyone down any further...

I don't think I've seen it here before, but it's especially interesting in that there are links not only to Headspace, but to FES, KSpace, Mr. Milliner's pictorial, two discographies I haven't seen yet, and Paul's Alloy page! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6.

I have not had the privilege of attending one of Dolby's performances (yet!) but it sounds like you had an especially wonderful time. There probably isn't anything I can say to cheer you up about the demolition of this building except that I am now hell-bent on visiting Atlanta and dancing in this parking lot, to honor the lost club.
