UGA grad. If you spent any time at Uptown Lounge in the early 90’s, I probably spilled a drink on you. Expect typos, early and often.

If I call you Bubba, it’s pure endearment.
My wife gets up at 4:30, I get the joy of twilight sleep from then until about 6:15.

That’s an *extremely* productive dream window for me. Weird shit. Vivid. I can step in and out. Colors and whatnot. I thought everyone did this but my family thinks I’m taking peyote.

I can self direct dreams occasionally.

It’s both terrifying and oddly satisfying.

I have no one in my immediate family that can’t understand this.

It was delicious.

I slept through 4 and part of 5.

Also, the Claire Danes chin quiver lives rent free in my head.

I can’t unsee it.

Ever.

Which two?

The middle was a bit slow.

The last three were a row.

Blue Curacao: color, sweet, lower abv

Cointreau: higher abv, less sweet

Dry Curacao: brandy base, least sweet (duh), abv similar to Cointreau

That’s my recollection.

One of my less curious friends in college couldn't pronounce it, so he just simply referred to it as "Blue Caracas"

As in KAH-RAH-CUSS.

*1989 Georgia for context*

I never had the heart to correct him.

Yeah, maybe at 14.

I had to tell my kids to behave around some folks here in town when we’d see them at dinners and whatnot.

They get it now and understand personal space and whatnot.

Also, I just saw you/Tilly/Dan commenting on the account.

He is the definition of poaster’s syndrome.

Come on down

I was kind of amused, kind of shocked.

Felt bad for all parties involved.

I’ll never forget sitting a few chairs over from Stipe at the globe once, an exuberant fan came over and shoved a napkin in his face, asked for an autograph.

In the most non-expressive Stipe deadpan I’ve ever seen, he simply looked up and said, “I don’t sign stuff”, and went back to his newspaper.

Sounds like a fun evening!

In order of preference, mostly due to the season:

Bourbon
Brandy
Rum
Gin

Mills seems to always be either in Athens or at Braves games. Loves some baseball.

Bert?
December 5, 2025 at 1:47 PM
Yes, this, exactly.

I’ll be curious to see how it plays out.

I’m glad I left before the Bubba Sparxx era. Lucky enough to party one night with some of the B-52’s at a house near the tree that owns itself, 1991. Good times.

And Stipe was at The Globe *often*.
