[atlantaprog] February meeting

Hi,

This is a reminder of the upcoming February meeting. It will be on 
Mon, 2/3, at 7 - once again at the lovely Manuel's Tavern... one 
change though... MAKE NOTE!!! Instead of our usual Manuel's room, the 
Eagles Nest, we will be in the North Avenue room.... your humble 
narrator snoozed a bit too long and by the time I stopped by to 
reserve the Eagles Nest room, someone else had snatched it up for 
that night! But since our little group is becoming sort of a regular 
fixture around there, the guy put is in the BIG meeting room which 
they normally reserve for much bigger groups than us... fine by me! 
Maybe we'll be farther away from the secondhand smoke! Don't forget 
to bring music to share.

Since no one else has chimed in yet, let me be the first to thank the 
ARIA members who braved the arctic blast and turned out at the Cobweb 
Strange/Paine's Promise show last Thursday. There weren't too many 
folks there - not surprising for a late frigid weeknight. I counted 
20, out of which at least 6 were there directly as a result of this 
list (myself, Alex and ? from Brain 21, and Brian, John & Hal from 
Lord Only).. plus of course the members of the bands...

The opening band was a no show, so the club had Paine's Promise start 
early... as a result, I missed their set :-(  but I caught most of 
the Cobweb Strange set - they turned in a pretty good performance for 
being so cold! They did try and warm up the place a bit with spot-on 
covers of Hendrix's Fire and Sabbath's NIB (with Brandi taking the 
role of Ozzy/Lucifer!) in between their own moody, intricate 
originals - not the sort of covers you'd expected from a prog act, 
but fun nonetheless.
