adventures in east atlanta part 6

Saturday afternoon, I attended the East Atlanta Beer Festival. Conveniently, the festival was in East Atlanta Village, which also happens to be my favorite part of town.
I arrived early, since my friend Rodney had inconveniently scheduled his wedding reception for that same afternoon and I wanted to make sure I had time […]

international wine tasting

I attended the Southern Center for International Studies Young Professionals’ Fourth Annual Wine Tasting last night. The wine tasting was held at the Southern Center, which is housed in an antebellum southern mansion on West Paces Ferry Road. The venue was stunning and a great setting for the classiest event I have been […]

underground

I went underground (literally) to the Drunken Unicorn to catch the Black Kites. This was my first time at the Drunken Unicorn. It is a fairly small venue, with surprisingly good sound for what is essentially a concrete box. A bit more guitar in the mix would have been nice, as Mike Barnes, […]

outdoor drinking

I attended the Atlanta Outdoor Club Social at 5 Seasons Brewing last evening. 5 Seasons is a huge improvement over the old location, which was Summit’s Wayside Tavern. There was plenty of room to mingle and the patio had a nice outdoor feel.
At the event, there was a good mix of […]

hey ladies

Usually I try not to mock people on this site. Well, at least not severely. However, I am unable to resist poking a bit of fun at Mr. Romantic.
The one or two drinks a month would be a dealbreaker for me. And he is a Leo, so it would […]

trucker hats

Last night, my friend Nate and I stopped by an opening at the Young Blood Gallery. The gallery is located in Grant Park and has a very underground feel to it.
The featured artist was Jacob Escobedo. The works displayed were mixed media and consisted of collages and illustrations. I was somewhat […]

consuming for charity

Despite being ridiculously dehydrated and still somewhat hungover from the Martini March, I dragged my ass over to Virginia Highlands for A Taste of the Highlands yesterday afternoon. The event was held outdoors in John Howell park and featured tables serving samples from several restaurants located in the Highlands. There was beer available […]

trashed by eight

Last evening, I stopped by the Midtown Martini March to photograph the event for AtlantaBuzz. The event started at Cosmopolitan, where the special was $2.00 Martinis. I expected the special to be something totally weak, like Apple Martinis or Cosmopolitans. Much to my surprise, a dry gin Martini could be had as […]

burn-out ohio

I went to Twisted Taco last night for their Cinco de Mayo party. After I wandered in, I grabbed a beer from the bartender that moved here from Vermont*. As I was standing around drinking the aforementioned beer, I was joined by recurring Propeller Skies character Lisa and her friend FBI agent Susan. […]

music midtown

I have lived in Atlanta for almost four years now and never once attended Music Midtown. For any of my five readers who are curious about the festival, KC over at ::groove:: has posted an excellent review.
Personally, I am more of an indie rock kind of guy, in case that was not […]
