It seems like it HAS been a long time since the Midtown Social Club held and event. This group was first formed by residents of several Midtown Atlanta condo buildings. It quickly took off, and the club was in demand, if you will, buy Midtown restaurants to host this event.
I’m certainly looking forward to the event and hope to see you there as well!
You know how it is. You live someplace, and events come and go and you never even partake of them. Hmmm. For me, the Atlanta Film Festival is one of them. I plan to change that with this years event. It will be March 23 – April 1, 2012 with most of the activities centered around the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, located in the Midtown Promenade Center at 8th and Monroe Drive.
The Atlanta Film Festival appointed a new Executive Director, Chris Escobar who talked about the changes to the festival in a recent article in Creative Loafing’s Screen Grab Movie and TV Blog. Said Escobar, “We’ve made pass prices much more attainable, and are adding a second block of competing animation shorts for the academy-award qualification. More excitedly, while we will still be holding the majority of the festival at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, we’re working on finalizing partnerships with select Atlanta-gem venues to have screenings on different nights during the week days of the festival. We’ve shifted our schedule to both a month earlier in the year and by a day of the week to include two full weekends. We’re also including music as a more present component of the festival.”
Escobar was named Executive Director of The Atlanta Film Festival after a year and a half of interim directors.
You can learn more about the Atlanta Film Festival at their website. I hope to see you there!

It would be best to avoid the traffic and street closures by taking MARTA. Exit either at the Five Points Station OR Peachtree Center Station. MARTA will have extended service and additional trains running. Last trains will depart Five Points Station in all directions at 2 a.m.

Of course, any and every bar and/or restaurant you can think of in Atlanta will be having some form of celebration. If you are up for the crowds, then this is your night to hit the street.
Please drink and drive responsibily. If you can designate a driver, all the better. But remember the other car may not have done that, so be extra attentive while driving and attending your New Year’s Eve Celebration in Atlanta!
I don’t know about you, but I certainly have very high admiration for someone who is willing to get up every day and put their life in danger so that I may NOT be in danger. That takes some serious @*#*@! I know I could not do it.
So, to know there is some small part I can do to make that job easier is a cool thing to me. Sadly, if we did not have so much government waste, we could probably pay for equipment like this.
But so be it. This Friday, drop by the Tin Roof Cantina (just off of Druid Hills Road at 2591 Briarcliff Road) and join in this event to raise money and purchase additional bullet-proof vests for officers.
Starts at 5pm. Hey, you know how bad Friday rush hour can be!!! Just swing in here and hang out for a while. Of course, be responsible when you drink and drive!
Whether we like it or not…the Holiday Party season is about to begin! And in Atlanta, the premier party of them all certainly IS, For The Kid In All of Us –The Toy Party, December 4, 2011.
If you have the holiday blues, or can’t find your holiday mojo, then this is the party to attend! Gay, straight or otherwise, break out your festive attire, bring an unwrapped toy and enjoy!
I’m not sure how many thousands this party draws, but the mountain of toys left at the end of the night is sure to tug on your heart, knowing that less fortunate children around Atlanta will have a better Christmas Eve/Morning!
I’ve missed a couple years, but this will not be one of them! I’m ready for some holiday chipper and cheer! Let the bells ring!
Check out the video below for a few pictures of past Toy Parties!
