Don't ask me how the Jon Batiste concert was... Because it wasn't.
What had happened was...
In the nearly 30 years we have been together, Richie and I have attended maybe a dozen concerts. That's probably an overstatement by about half a dozen, but I don't want to seem too square! So we were excited to have actually purchased tickets to Jon Batiste, who was kicking off his summer tour at Chastain on Saturday. It was to be a nice Saturday Date Night for us. If you recall, there was a chance of rain, so we watched the weather like hawks. But by the time the concert was to have started, it was really nice. All good so far.
On our way to Buckhead for dinner at the Landmark Diner (yes, I realize that is an odd choice, but sometimes you just need a good Gyro!) we stopped at, not one, but two Targets to find stadium seat cushions so our butts would be comfy during the show. We had a lovely dinner at the diner, paid the check and were about to leave for the show.
At the last minute, I happened to look at the tickets in my i-wallet. I noticed, much to my surprise, the date was AUGUST 23, 2026. That seemed impossible and my first thought was that it was a typo. But sure enough, a quick look at my emails, there was one from Ticketmaster at 1:37pm on Saturday saying the concert had been rescheduled. And not to worry, our tickets were still good for the new date. What the??? So no concert for us. It was kind of disappointing. We were really looking forward to it. All was not lost on our date night, however, we caught a screening at the Tara of a fab movie with Ian McKellen called THE CHRISTOPHERS, which I highly recommend!
So that's my story from the weekend. I hope you had a good one and are ready to tackle the week. Please make a plan to come see us at MetroFresh Uptown! We're here Monday-Friday until 2:30.
