And speaking of spring fashions

28 Apr

I want to see more of this on our dandies around town, accompanied by the aforementioned purse – man leggings!
leggings
According to the wearer, “They make my calves look good.” Keep this in mind, gentlemen, as we ladies run out of new and innovative ways to wear leggings. Maybe someone can master the cargo legging in time for this year’s East Atlanta Beer Festival? Does Sid Mashburn stock these?

Just so you know

22 Apr

ART buildingPosting around here will be light/non-existent for a little while longer as things in real life demand too much intellectual energy to come up with any good Atlanta fan fiction for you, beloved readership.

For now, you could entertain yourself with Vice’s Guide to Atlanta. If you know everything they’re talking about, then it’s probably time for you to move away from here ASAP. If you are mad that they didn’t mention Leon’s Full Service, then you are probably a Decatur blogger.

We are one degree closer to Chuck Bass

gossip-girl-chuck-shark_lRemember when Michelle Trachtenberg, aka Georgina Sparks, was in town for the W Hotel opening and she also hit up the Drunken Unicorn and it blew everyone‘s mind?

Now we can all be validated again like we always are in Atlanta whenever “we” have some slight brush with celebrity, because our very own Newt Gingrich will be inexplicably sharing a table with Gossip Girl‘s Ed Westwick and the White House Correspondents Dinner. Maybe now that Westwick is growing his own Republican-esque jowls Newt can recruit him to the cause.

Hockey players have a sense of humor

15 Apr

Here’s a little video of our own Atlanta Thrashers making fun of other hockey players (specifically Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals) for starring in terrible commercials. I know they do the little clips at the games where they pretend to be gay or make fun of each other for being gay, but this is sort of amusing and I’m not even drunk from chugging a half gallon of beer at the CNN Center beforehand.

I guess this is the commercial to which they’re referring. It’s pretty awful:

The website Ucantact.com that flashes at the end of the fake PSA just redirects to the Thrashers website. This was probably shown at last weeks’ game against the Washington Capitals? Our guys still lost.

Graffiti hike with Dosa Kim this Saturday

9 Apr


Designer Dosa Kim will be guiding a tour of Atlanta’s graffiti art on Saturday morning. The urban hike starts at 10 AM at Park Grounds in Reynoldstown.  If he takes you where I’m guessing he’ll take you, you better wear your close-toed sneakers. (via Urban Hiking Atlanta)

More April Fool’s laffs from DeKalb County

1 Apr

“DeKalb Officials Seek ‘Freaknic [sic]-DeKalb’ to Spur Revenue” appeared on GoDeKalb. Is April Fool’s Day always like this in Atlanta, or is the fragile state of hope in the city perfect for cruel pranks like the empty promise of  Thomas Pynchon?

Jack Bauer: The Musical

1 Apr

24

I hate April Fools. It allows uncaring people like Curt Holman to get 24 fans like myself to think that something as amazing as Jack Bauer: The Musical could actually exist. Appliance Theater. You are not funny Curt. I do have to say though, that is a muscial I would pay money to see.

Alright fine. Good job, Curt. Good job.

Atlanta’s famous roadside boutiques

1 Apr

Here’s a helpful money-saving shopping tip from a couple of our favorite American Music Show stars, DeAundra Peek and Duffy Odum.

In case you’re wondering what that part of town where they go on their shopping spree (just south of Ormewood Park) looks like now:

Shelby Place
It appears that due to the current economic climate, top of the line boutique merchandise like rusty wheelchairs and jack-o-lanterns have been switched out for lower-end empty cardboard boxes.
