I ran into friends Calhoun and Manuel the day of the OutKast show. They weren't really trying to talk about love, so we talked about their love for OutKast and what brought them to CounterPoint.Name: Calhoun (left)Hometown: Southwest Atlanta, GeorgiaAge: 33On OutKast: I grew up listening to them and as much as I like them, as much as I've grown up on them, coming to see them was on my bucket list.
