Two Nights in Atlanta, One in Charlotte for Queens of the Stone Age




Some bands are better than others. 
Chord by chord, line by line, beat by beat, hook by glorious hook, none is as convincing in 2013 as the Queens of the Stone Age. Even their codas kill.
The 6,000 heads moving in lockstep unison Saturday night at the Gibson Amphitheatre during "No One Knows" offered undeniable proof. With necks rubbery, noggins kept time with the Queens' rolling thunder beat as if snipers were commanding it from above, chunka-chunka riffs pushing through the venue as the band carried its devoted base through a song about rules to follow, pills to swallow. 
They traveled with Queens founder-singer-guitarist-desert dweller Josh Homme "through the desert of the mind with no hope," drifted through the ocean, "dead lifeboats in the sun," as the perfectly engineered band hummed. The group has been on the road for dozens of dates this summer, and holy boulders does it show. Pardon the language, but what a cussin' rock band.
Read the rest of the review on the Los Angeles Times site.

Now, for the other part of our recommendation.
Some Party Buses are better than others.  You can fit up to 14 folks in our New Mercedes Sprinter Party Bus.  If you go out before and or after the concert, and you have the party machine for say 5 hours, the total bill will be like $30 a person.  Get your tickets, then call us immediately.  We only have one party bus in Charlotte and one in Atlanta.  First come, first served. 

If you have a smaller group, take 8 - 10 in our Chrysler Stretch Limo.  Just you and your girl, how about a chauffeured sedan.  Call today to reserve.  704-605-1108

Steely Dan Tour Will Hit Atlanta and Charlotte in September



STEELY DAN "Mood Swings 2013: 8 Miles To Pancake Day" Is the Perfect Excuse to Arrange a Party of Friends and Hire a Limo

 
 


 
 


LOS ANGELES, CA: Legendary jazz-rock icons Walter Becker and Donald Fagen have announced that STEELY DAN will hit the road again in 2013, taking their Mood Swings: 8 Miles To Pancake Day Tour to over four dozen stops throughout North America.

Opening in Atlantic City on July 19, the tour hits major markets including Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Boston, with additional special engagements to be announced soon. Tickets  are on sale now.

A great way to enjoy any concert is to head to the show with a group of friend in a chauffeured sedan or limo.  In Atlanta you would want to call Ambassador Limousine Service of Atlanta or go to their website at http://atlanta-limos.com.  A Step Above Limo in Charlotte would be the choice for a choice of party bus, sedan or limo.

Concertgoers can expect an evening of the same high-level of musical excellence that garnered raves from fans and critics alike, and which was described by The Los Angeles Times thusly: "Everyone gathered Friday evening was a believer — and they were treated to something close to rapture." The Chicago Sun-Times raved "This was different. This was live. This was vibrant. This was a cascade of color carried along by Fagen, Becker, eight brilliant supporting musicians and three superb backing vocalists."

On stage, Donald and Walter will be joined by these same eight brilliant supporting musicians, now appearing as The Bipolar Allstars (featuring Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington on bass, Jim Beard on keyboards, and Jon Herington on guitar), along with The Borderline Brats — three sublime, soulful songbirds. Together, they will treat audiences to selections from The Dan's extraordinary four-decade catalog, rich with infectious tunes, bodacious harmonies, irresistible grooves, and sleek, subversive lyrics — punctuated by blazing solo work and rich ensembles. As always with the adventurous Fagen and Becker, a few surprises may be in store as well.

Picnic at Sharp Mountain Winery in Beautiful N. Georgia. Get there by Limo

No Wine Tour in N Georgia Is Complete without a Picnic.  The Sharp Mountain Winery Is Just the Place

Sharp Mountain Vineyards   http://www.sharpmountainvineyards.com/about.php  Fri - Sun


At 1500 feet, on five acres of rocky, alluvial soil, Sharp Mountain Vineyards is perfectly situated for doing what it does best: handcrafting fine wines in the old-world fashion.

This unique vineyard, established in 1995, was built on one simple principle: that the finest wines come from the finest fruits. Everything that Sharp Mountain Vineyards does honors this guiding principle, and North Georgians are the enthusiastic beneficiaries of this unwavering commitment to the ideal.

Sharp Mountain Vineyards and Wineries

What makes Sharp Mountain Vineyards so distinctive is its solitary focus on creating exceptional wines and providing a friendly, comfortable atmosphere for its customers.  Sharp Mountain Vineyards doesn't strive to increase production or branch out into a full-service event venue. Instead, this family-owned vineyard intentionally maintains a lower output capacity and focuses on only one thing: the wine.

By personally attending to every detail of the wine making process, from carefully tending plants through methods that promote quality over quantity to harvesting each grape with care to ensure that only the best are selected, Sharp Mountain Vineyards proudly produces eleven varieties of the region's finest wines.

The same attention to detail extends to the friendly and festive tasting room and gift shop where connoisseurs and novices alike are never disappointed. The Tasting Room and Gift Shop are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Call for private tastings and events.

Sharp Mountain Vineyards welcomes guests to bring their own picnic fare and relax at a pavilion overlooking the vineyards and Sharp Mountain in beautiful North Georgia. It's an awe-inspiring view and the perfect setting in which to eat, drink, and be merry.

The result is more than wine: it is an experience.

We'll pick you up in a sedan or stretch limo.  You might hit one winery in the morning, one for lunch, and two in the afternoon.  Then we'll get you home with no time lost for DUI's and nobody losing out by being the designated driver.  Let us help you plan out the whole day.  Call 404-621-2544 to reach Ambassador Limousine Service in Atlanta.

Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery is a small family farm situated on a hundred and eighty acres in the heart of the Frogtown District in historic Lumpkin County, Georgia.

Established in 1996 and bonded in 2000, Three Sisters Vineyards is Lumpkin County's first vineyard since prohibition and holds the distinction of being "Dahlonega's First Family Farm Winery."

Frogtown is a 57 acre wine estate located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains equal distance between Dahlonega and Cleveland, Georgia. Frogtown encompasses 40 acres of vineyards and a tri-level gravity flow winery specifically designed to produce the unique wines made from Frogtown grapes.

In 1998, native Atlantans Craig and Cydney Kritzer founded Frogtown in a location carefully selected for quality wine grape production and outstanding mountain views, the Frogtown District of Lumpkin County, Georgia.

He planted different wine grape varieties based on the characteristics of each vineyard site. Frogtown is now home to 40 acres of vineyards planted to 23 different wine grapes varieties, both red and white.

Atlanta Wine Country - Visit Cavender Creek Vinyard by Limo

The Best Way to Travel to the N. Georgia Hills Vineyards is by Chauffeured Sedan or Limo

Cavender Creek Vineyards   http://cavendercreekvineyards.com/  Sat - Sun only



Located on the outskirts of the charming little goldmine town of Dahlonega, Cavender Creek Vineyards and Winery started preparations in 2006.  Our two red grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Norton/Cynthiana, were planted in 2007 with first harvest in 2009.  The third plot of Petit Manseng, an “up-and-coming” white wine grape, was planted in 2008 and will premier its first vintage in the Spring of 2011.  Our goal is to produce hand-crafted wines that reflect the personal attention to detail and “pampering”- from planting to bottling – afforded by a small family vineyard. 

Planned around an “old family farm” theme, CCVW features a c.1820 hand-hewn log cabin which will serve as guest accommodations overlooking the vineyard on 15 acres of beautiful rolling North Georgia hills.  Next door is the winery, styled after an old-fashioned barn, with the “loft” housing the tasting room.  From the spacious deck extending over the crush pad below you can enjoy a view of the vineyards and the surrounding farm scene, including a number of donkeys, sheep, and ”Tinkerbell” --our big ole white vineyard dog--all adding up to a fun family experience.

Proprietors Raymond and Donna Castleberry look forward to meeting you.  We think you will be charmed by our old-fashioned approach to wine-making, grape-growing, and life in general. So kick back, savor our hand-crafted wines, and let us know what you think.

You could drive to this winery, but who is going to drive home.  You could take a bus, but ......
The best way to see the wine country around Atlanta is by Limo.  Call us to plan your day at the wineries.   404-621-2544
