Dual Survival

Survival shows in general are badass and it all started for me when Bear Grylls came on the scene with Man vs. Wild. Now Discovery Channel has gone further with their survival programming by creating Dual Survival which takes a primitive survival expert - Cody Lundin and former Marine - Dave Canterbury on survival missions in some of the harshest terrain in the world. This is definitely one of the more entertaining shows I've seen and below is an example of how badass these guys are:

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe

I haven't posted in a long time due to a lot of things that have been going on in my life. I just got a new job working for an event ticketing company Xorbia Tickets (www.xorbia.com). I've been doing marketing and customer service for them since the beginning of May.

My sister, Marian Adeimy just got married to Nick Avise and I have to say I'm quite proud to have a brother-in-law; the wedding was amazing and I'll be posting pictures soon!

I just moved into a new home as well in the Va/Hi area in Atlanta. I'm living with the five best friends that anyone could have! There will be plenty of fun to be had in the coming year!

The topic of this post is about a show that I went to last night at Hell in the Masquerade. For those of you not familiar with this music venue its located in the warehouse district down North Avenue in Atlanta. This place is supposedly haunted and remains one of Atlanta's most storied venues (Radiohead used to play here). The Masquerade or Masq is actually a solid concert spot with three levels appropriately themed: Heaven (top floor), Purgatory (middle floor), and Hell (bottom floor). Karl Denson was in Hell playing to a smaller Wednesday night crowd, but full of energy and a great atmosphere. Now Karl Denson's Tiny Universe is a funktastic soul band that does a lot of things really well most of all, they make you want to get down to some sweet tunes. I have embedded a  video (not from their show last night) within this post to allow you to experience this amazing group of six musicians, Karl Denson being the nasty/sickest sax player I've heard in quite some time. These guys give 110% when they play and they get the crowd involved with the music. Please do yourself a favor and check them out....I'll be providing many more music reviews and suggestions this Summer and Fall so stayed tuned and expand your music library to include some seriously good musicians and get out to these upcoming concerts in Atlanta!
