We don’t want to turn this blog into a community calendar so I will try to get two notable upcoming events in one post and then stop telling you what to do with your free time. You can just click the calendar you see to your right for other things.
1. Beautiful Losers screening at the Plaza Theatre, Thursday 9/18
This is a documentary about the DIY-inspired street art and design scene that emerged in New York in 1990s, with interviews from artists like Mike Mills, Harmony Korine, and Shepard Fairey (who designed those iconic and sort of propagandist Obama posters).
The film is hosted by AIGA Atlanta, so it costs less if you are a member and/or register in advance. There will also be an art show “showcasing a variety of work from local Atlanta artists who are part of this movement.” I can’t seem to find the names of any of the local artists, so I guess it will be a surprise for us.
7:00 – 9:30 PM, $8-$12, 1049 Ponce de Leon Ave
2. Nicecream Sundae Sunday at Jake’s Ice Cream, Sunday 9/28
Jake’s has come out with Nicecream, some sort of healthy (non-dairy and organic) ice cream-like substance that is supposedly delicious (made with coconut cream), so they are offering free Nicecream sundaes and other celebratory festivities.
4-7 PM, $5 suggested donation to Atlanta Food Bank, Irwin Street Market – 60 Irwin St (via News You Can Eat)
Please feel free to tell me what to do with my time. I’m still kicking myself for failing to visit your site in time to see Crispin Glover at the Plaza.
