I had the fortunate experience of securing an interview during the Midtown Festival of the Art s with a favorite band of mine from my Georgia Southern days (who says I dont remember anything about those first couple years). The Breakfast Club , as their name would suggest, is an 80s cover band that rocks your face off every time they play [...]

African tribal dancers, beeswax, glass animals, mosaics, Hookers and The Breakfast Club – All could be seen this weekend at the Midtown Festival of the Arts . Ok, ok Peachtree street was free from “ladies of the evening”, but Blair Crimmins and the Hookers were one of music acts that stuck it out through the rain on Sunday. Even the [...]

This year is the dawn of a new festival in Atlanta – The Midtown Festival of the Arts .  Atlanta is no stranger to arts festivals, but this new show in town is a fantastic combination of not only local arts, but of music, film and food. Fine Print: At this point I must divulge that I [...]

Haven’t they been picked on enough?! Poor nerds can’t catch a break. Somehow, this time though I think they’ll get to keep their lunch money. The infamous Westboro Baptist Church is protesting Comic-Con and all its glorious outfits and mythic characters. Next up…a My Little Pony rally. Because every one knows God Hates Colorful Flying Ponies. [...]

“A picture speaks 1000 words” – some emperor from days of yore said this and I thought it was well suited for the final post. This is the picture journal of Bonnaroo. I’ll let the images do the talking. OK, I’ll let the images do most of the talking. You could print up your pics or take some new ones here [...]

So, I assume this is the post you have all been waiting fervently by your computer for. What is the one word synonymous with Bonnaroo…other than hippies?! Music. Bonnaroo has become a mecca of arts, comedy, film, eco-acceptance and so much more, but what this festival was built on was the music. An homage to the days of [...]

There is a point when you attend a music festival (sober or not) that you begin to feel a sense of camaraderie and as if everyone attending is part of a singular living organism. It is breathing. It is living. And, hopefully thriving in cases where water is readily available. It is before this feeling, however, that you [...]

We returned yesterday from a week long camping trip on a huge farm in Tennessee. Many people are familiar with the hootenanny I am speaking of. It is Bonnaroo; the annual festival in Manchester, TN that brings about 75,000 people from all over, for 4 days of music, comedy, sweat and more laughs than allowed by [...]

Hey Guys! My apologies upfront for being so behind in writing/taping. I was away last week for business in Philadelphia, but have some amazing and hilarious stories to share. Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for me, I am heading out tonight to volunteer at Bonnaroo. So bring on the patchouli and live music! When I [...]

Disclaimer: It is the third week without a video camera that will hold a charge, but I promise it will be back in action soon. I almost missed it. I wanted to go and almost missed the East Atlanta Beer Festival . If it weren’t for a random post by moi on Scoutmob’s Facebook status update, I would still [...]

I should go ahead and state my bias upfront. I am of the fortunate circumstance of being Greek. While I am only a half-blood, I did my time on Sundays as a child and have fond memories tied to the St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox church in Savannah. Although, most of those memories are Greek to me. No, [...]

As you may have noticed for this post I decided to break out the writing skills. Hope it doesn’t scare too many away. This year my husband turned 30 on May 6th. In my book this calls for a major celebration. Not the kind where you go to a Mexican restaurant and see who shows up, [...]

The Braves are on a losing streak…a bad losing streak, but you still want to support your local team. What do you do? Chophouse. The site where many go to appear as if they dive a dang about their hometown sports teams. Take an adventure inside this favorite Atlanta pastime.
