Oh look, we have good taste for once

15 May

Picture 4Y’all, Modern Atlanta, y’all! I think Modern Atlanta is doing some of the coolest stuff in town, along with Pecha Kucha and Brunks on Dikes.

TODAY is the kick-off party for their annual week of design-y type events (this year’s theme: “Design is Human”). This weekend is the home tour, which everyone should attend because it will teach you that neighborhoods should not implement design guidelines because modern architecture is awesome and NIMBYs have no place telling people they can’t build beautiful eco-friendly homes. You can gaze in envy at some of the homes on the MA Flickr page. There’s still time to rush to Octane and buy tickets ($25 for students!) that will get you into the party and the home tour. I understand there is some sort of “interactive exhibit” at the kick-off party that I suspect will be sexual in nature, so you don’t want to miss that.

There are other events that are free, so study the lineup and try to at least send yourself on the PoMo tour.

    Yo – thanks for the brunks shout out!
    did you come on saturday? I am inclined to forget things such as this because of the massive amounts of booze + physical exertion that happens on these rides. June 13th is the next go round!
