harumph.

oh Blog.. what do I do with you. I am still figuring out how to incorporate a calendar thats worth anything. I suppose that's my attempt to lazily update you from afar.

I could just log on each day and write a word or two about whats going on.

The more i tell people i'm trying to keep my finger on the pulse of the emerging art scene in Atlanta, the further I find myself from any actual pulse.  I suppose it's time to dive back in.


Music in Atlanta is what it always has been. Trying. you can hear the strain and reaching in the lyrics and the voices. This says to me everyone wants to be famous more than they want to produce and distribute their art. What is art without an audience? Expression.

Va-Hi.. is anyone else wondering when construction on The Mix is gonna start? not that i prefer a corporate eyesore to rejuvenated community greenspace (herb garden? anyone?, Atkin's Park?).. I can just see myself working there and wishing i had con-dough. (as in money to buy a condo in such a desirable location)

O4W... Zaya's gone. Is anyone sad? The food was great but the service was terrible. and in a town full of charming, southern bred, professional servers bad service will take you under.
It also seems there are some new furniture galleries opening, because that's just what Atlanta needs.. more furniture showrooms for the decorators to walk around in, taking notes and cooing over shit no one ever buys. Good Luck!

Morningside.. back to school. buy some wrapping paper from the kiddies.

Here to Serve Restaurants

has a listing of their weekly specials.. i will add some of these to the Google Calendar. But will call to verify first..

i should mention, but probably don't need to elaborate, how annoying it is to find a deal online only to have your special dreams of being special and ballin on a budget squashed when the hostess informs you there are no specials. boo!

and yes, i always ask the hostess because i have worked in the biz and know how much more awkward that moment can be if left till the time of payment...


enough blabbering, the link is here http://www.h2sr.com/h2s/this-week/

thinkin of a master plan.

Soooooo i'm trying to use the google calendar to post nightly specials at restaurants ITP. i know, i know,..a listing like this must already be somewhere on the interwebs, but it's not. i look everynight. and then i do the legwork and report back to my homies via text or fbook. and i imagine they pass on the word to their people..

hear what i'm thinking.
a) this could be a central location for allllll that info, especially the deals and steals
b) i.. we could decide on a favorite and have meet-ups and be social.. just sayin.



I'm gonna start with my favorite spots, and the ones with the best patios. but email me if you are a business owner or a loyal patron with a deal to share.

in the beginning there was a girl...

i have been asked at least a hundred times to start a blog. the short story ends like this; here it is. tell your friends and get off my case.





the long story includes links to all of the sites i've started but never maintained, but i won't waste your time or mine.


the intention of this site is to keep followers and visitors up to date on Atlanta specials and happenings.. i'll include news and reviews and other miscellany, looking forward to feedback, fellowship and sponsorship.

in the words of the wise wacka flacka #oledoit
*speaking of WFF, i've got a funny story... for another day*
