^At 6:00pm EST, right?

^I really like Tek-One, Big Chocolate and Rusko. Big Chocolate is actually going to be at Warped Tour this year, which gives me a good reason to go...

All of those are very good. Some of my personal favorites are tUnE-yArDs, Panda Bear, The Weeknd, Cut Copy and Jet Age of Tomorrow (Journey To the 5th Echelon is incredible). I was going to see Cut Copy when they came through Atlanta back in April, but unfortunately, an empty wallet prevented that from happening. Also, I don't know how well-known they are, but does the name Mansions on the Moon ring any bells? I downloaded their album "Paradise Falls" from their label's website, and it was surprisingly good. It's almost like a giant mash-up with really solid vocals added into the mix. I think Diplo helped them out with it, if I'm not mistaken.

I've heard someone call it Party Metal before. I dunno, that sounds okay to me. Anyone ever heard of Jack Beats? They're pretty sweet, if you're into some awesome dance music. Here's their song "Get Down".

Recently, I decided to get a few new comedy albums (new to my library, at least), and I now have two new favorites. Mike Birbiglia and Michael Ian Black. They're great. Anthony Geselnik is great too, but most certainly not for everyone. I just have a sick sense of humor.

Anybody listen to Tyler, The Creator's new album yet? I have. It's really, REALLY good. On par with his first album, quite possibly better. Any thoughts?

Nothing less than enjoyable.

^Not sad. Pretty freakin' sweet, actually. Free Earl.

Just one so far, and that's Six Flags over Georgia. I'd like to visit two or three more over the season, especially ones I've never been to. That would be amazing.

^ Surprisingly, no. Well, at least in the magic seat it wasn't. A few friends of mine had ridden closer to the front in the old black train, and were complaining of headaches when we got off. Good ol' Ninja...

Goliath @ SFoG, Friday night at about midnight. Night rides in the back seat = the best thing ever.

Nuff said.

Sorry, guys, but this isn't really a TRUE photo trip report. It's more of a text-only trip report with two pictures at the end. But if you'd still like to read through the boringness of (mostly) photo-less text, I'm not stopping you; in fact, I'd appreciate it! Well, I went with the University of Georgia to Six Flags over Georgia this past evening, and actually got back about half an hour ago. All in all, the park is still great, and some really cool things happened while we were there, including a really good look at the completed track of Dare Devil Dive!!! Unfortunately, I left my camera back home, so this isn't really a photo trip report like I had originally planned. Also, my friend (who got some good shots of DDD) has his camera with him, so those pictures will have to wait, but I do have those two pictures from my cell phone that I would like to share with you guys... after talking aimlessly about the rides. We got to the park at around 7pm, with five hours to mill about and ride whatever we pleased. So, naturally, my group started our evening with a ride on the Georgia Scorcher. For some reason, it ran especially well this evening, which is strange considering I had always remembered it being a little more on the rougher side. Smooth as a baby's bottom, and the first loop and final turn were really intense, in a good way. A nice way to start off the evening. Next, we took a ride on Goliath, for which we waited about 30 minutes. Not bad, considering there were thousands of students and alumni there. Just as good as I remembered it - plenty of airtime, not the smoothest but most certainly not rough, and a fantastic turnaround! Still feels brand new, even though today was its 4th birthday. Following Goliath, we went to Gotham City to find out that Mind Bender was testing, so we decided to go on Batman instead. Good and forceful, but still just a Batman clone and not particularly worth the 40 minutes we waited for it. But it's whatever, there were some pleasant surprises in store for us later in the evening. We left Gotham after learning that Mind Bender had a 90-minute queue (which ended up being about 30 minutes, but we still didn't ride), heading over to Superman Ultimate Flight. It also had nearly a 90 minute wait, so we left with slight frustration. Even with only UGA students there, the wait times for Mind Bender, Superman and Goliath were pretty significant all night. But that was okay, because we then experienced pleasant surprise #1: Scream Machine. After remembering how horrible the ride was last season (which I'm assuming was due primarily to the flooding that took place early last year or the year before), I was very hesitant to get on, but we ended up in the middle row of the front car and I braced myself for impact. To my surprise, they had fixed up all of the drops, so they were much MUCH smoother than last season, the season before, or any time I can really remember. It was quite the relief to come off of GASM without a headache or a ruptured spleen. Speaking of GASM, I was not even expecting pleasant surprise of the night #2: Ninja! Sure, this ride is notorious for its roughness, but since discovering the "magic seat," the front row in the back car, all of my rides on Ninja have been nothing less than enjoyable. The reason I mentioned Ninja with such great detail is that, upon arriving to the ride, I noticed a blue train on the track. It didn't look like a wrap, because there weren't any logos on it. As it turns out, it wasn't a wrap at all; it was something much more unexpected, and honestly, I had a little geek-out moment. See the pictures below to figure out why. Anyways, after Ninja, we went back around to the front and got our ride on the Georgia Cyclone (which was the worst ride of the evening, for sure). Rough as I remember, quite possibly rougher, but it was still kind of fun. Just don't ride it more than once, or your head will be screaming curse words at you for the remainder of your day. Following that horrible experience, one last ride on Scorcher and Goliath ended our evening. I will say that I'm really liking what I saw as far as changes for 2011 go. I have very high expectations for Dare Devil Dive, and I will most definitely be returning to the park later in the season, once DDD is up and running. Oh yeah, about the pictures... So, I was talking to the guy operating Ninja and he said that they just put this new train on the track today (well, yesterday). And yes, he confirmed our suspicions that the train had been imported from another Six Flags park. We were some of the first people to ride Ninja on the new train, and needless to say, I flipped out. Hope you enjoyed my half-@$$ed trip report, if you read it all the way through! Adam "Pretty Trains" H. Oh hey. You're not from around here, are you? :] A little more up close and personal!

Just adding my two cents... I love the index! The pictures, the reviews, it's all very awesome! If someone is wondering whether or not a park is worth making a visit to, I know just where to send them! Two things, though. I've tried to post my review for Six Flags Over Georgia a few times, but when I visited the page, the review wasn't posted. Is that a technical problem, or do you guys just look at the reviews before they're posted? Also, this is fairly nit-picky, but on the part of the review-writing page where you choose between "Login to Edit my reviews" and "Login to Post my reviews", reviews was spelled "reivews". It's not really a problem, I'm just a grammar Nazi.

I had a yo-yo for the majority of my childhood, but dropped the hobby when I got into high school. This past Christmas, I decided to pick it back up, and I got myself a new Yomega Brain (only because my old X-Brain was nowhere to be found). All I can do right now are the basics, like walking the dog and rocking the cradle. I would like to get better, though! It's still as fun as I can remember it being!

I'm currently listening to "Good Rockin' Tonight" in my History of Popular Music class. I love college so much.

^ Talib Kweli is incredibly talented. Eardrum was, and is, one of the best rap albums I own. Not much of a Lupe listener, but I'm planning on giving this new album a chance, and if I dig it, I'll be getting the rest later.

Of Mice & Men - Westbound & Down Honestly, not my favorite. Not at all. But hey, it's good studying music for me.

Survey filled out! I also included an idea I had for a coaster themed to a defibrillator. Exciting, right? Adam "You could even say it's... Shocking" H.

I'm totally up for this. It's close to home, it would be my first TPR event, and I could probably talk one or two more people into coming as well! YES YES YES PLEASE.

I've always had a slight obsession with this one... Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione.

I love Aphex Twin. deadmau5 - Sofi Needs A Ladder But only because deadmau5 is so awesome. On my list of bands to see live before I graduate college.

I saw them at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta a few years back. They put on a fantastic show. I'm trying my best to get tickets for Cut Copy, they're in Atlanta on March 22. Touche Amore is also playing in ATL in May. I can already feel my body ache.

High Contrast - Angels + Fly (feat. Nolay) Anyone else into drum 'n bass?
