^^have you done martinis and imax? i enjoy doing that every so often
you could always preface dinner with something like the Louvre @ High Museum
or you could go to the drive-in....with good weather it's fun
if the weather is good, going to the fernbank observatory can be fun if the partner is up for something like that
if you've never been to the stone mountain laser show, it's one of those things you have to do here...i for one, thought it was trashy and embarrassing, but you have to go at some point
i always keep my eye on what's going on at the fox theatre 8/19/2008 11:20:09 PM |

The only laser show I've seen at Stone Mountain is for the holidays so it's dancing laser elves and Holly Jolly Christmas playing - what is it normally? 8/20/2008 2:31:39 PM |

its not bad, seasonal menu is a nice change so it doesnt get old
the wine selection is ok, i really wasnt impressed
order an appetizer if you eat a lot because the main dishes are all < 500 calories 8/21/2008 12:03:39 AM |

yeah, it was alright, not overly impressed... its no Rathbun's haha, or should i say Krog Bar, with the amount of wine we had in there beforehand shit on bread would have tasted great 8/22/2008 1:45:55 AM |

i would go for just martinis, and skip the imax. you get the drinks and the jazz and can skip the corny movies. most of the time the imax movies are pretty horrible and can kill the buzz from the martinis. i prefer to use that buzz to build momentum for an evening filled with great decisions...like clermont or mjq or gladys knights 8/22/2008 10:55:52 AM |

anyone know of any good (and by good I mean shitty) Karaoke places ITP?
I dont want a place where people think they are auditioning for American Idol, I want a shitty, fun place, with a lot of people. I hate karaoke, but that doesnt mean it doesnt entertain me if its shitty enough.

i haven't yet, but the poachers are starting to get to the more residential gas stations in the highlands and L5P area where I live...and they're mostly private stores, which don't seem to get refuled as much.
i work from home but am likely picking a project up on the perimeter...that's a lot of gas for someone used to filling up 1, maybe 2 times a month 9/28/2008 11:53:29 PM |

amazing sight today - so my office is in the GP building and has a great view of the connector as it winds through downtown. today at 5:15 PM, the connector was flowing freely, no slow-downs. i have never ever ever seen the connector not backed up in at least one direction at that hour. NEVER. i guess there's just mad car pooling going on right now to save gas.
also, last night i was at moe's and joe's in the highlands having a beer when a tanker trucked pulled into the chevron next door. within 5 minutes the parking lot was packed with cars waiting for it to unload. crazy. 9/29/2008 10:38:32 PM |

the qt on n druid hills and briarcliff
but i filled up after the initial oh shit moment and before there was this new hiccup so i was able to avoid the lines
and driving less than 20 miles a day with a car that gets 30 mpg, im good for awhile
so it is slightly misrepresenting9/30/2008 8:40:32 AM |

the best karaoke place that i have been to in atlanta is mary's in EAV. yes - it is a gay bar, and there are always a couple of american idol wannabe queens, but for the most part, its just a lot of fun. cheap drinks help too10/4/2008 6:01:37 PM |

went to wasabi for some sushi last week and noticed no mas cantina right next door - met up with an old college friend there on sat. night - wasabi had some great rolls and the guacamole and margaritas at no mas were great as well - it's a shitty part of town but they share the same complimentary valet parking lot so it's not a big deal
i recommend both places

my two favorite places for seafood in Atlanta are Six Feet Under and Spondivits
http://www.sixfeetunderatlanta.com - I go to the one in Grant Park and sit up top overlooking oakland cemetery
http://www.spondivits.net - only been to the one down by the airport
do you eat much around the Highlands and L5P? if not, I can recommend a lot of places around there 10/14/2008 2:30:42 AM |
