^^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

my wife went to that this past friday and saw wild ocean or something along those lines with a friend in town from raleigh and said it was a lot of fun

8/20/2008 9:38:45 AM

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?

forgot about martini's and imax, good call.

8/20/2008 6:22:55 PM

taking a client to Season's 52 tomorrow night, never been there before

8/20/2008 10:45:54 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

only stone mountain laser show i've seen was on memorial day

they had a person in a spacesuit

and played that fucking redneck ass song about putting a boot up someone's ass

8/22/2008 5:50:13 PM

ugh. i can't see either of us getting really excited about the laser show.

i've got until sunday. i'll figure something out.

8/22/2008 6:05:06 PM

this will be awesome

i went to a few of the games last year when it was at jocks and jills in midtown - won't be making it out there tonight - let us know how it is

9/2/2008 4:24:18 PM

I dont know... might be too far to go

9/2/2008 5:53:11 PM

woohoo! just under 5 weeks to the decatur beer festival!

9/15/2008 3:59:57 PM

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.

twisted taco has karaoke upstairs, but i don't know if it's shitty or not

fuck people who take karaoke seriously...it's why i always do the humpty dance...nothing is less serious than a white guy doing the humpty dance at karaoke

i went there last summer and made my way upstairs - it wasn't that bad when i was there - it was ridiculously packed upstairs though - so much that you wanted to remain downstairs

9/16/2008 9:13:19 AM

^ yup, same here... went there once and it was SO packed it wasnt even fun. Couldnt move, couldnt really see anyone except the people immediately surrounding me, took forever to get drinks etc.

9/16/2008 12:27:17 PM

I got two tickets to the Falcons game this Sunday, 50 yard line, 23rd row, aisle seats (1 and 2). Over $200 face value... anyone interested for $150?

9/19/2008 4:02:41 PM

when is this gas shit going to get unfucked? i'm down to a quarter tank and haven't found shit in the highlands/L5P area

9/28/2008 6:41:43 PM

every station that gets gas has a line of 40+ cars - some friends of mine told me the costco up off of cumberland pkwy had gas and was only a 20min wait

i'm going out tomorrow at 10am to find some gas in the smyrna area

9/28/2008 7:57:03 PM

the QT on sydney marcus has been keeping in decent supply. but there's about a 45 minute wait. i've got enough to last until wednesday. hopefully things will start to pick up by then. this shit is seriously getting out of hand.

9/28/2008 8:49:52 PM

i have yet to really give a shit about this gas nonsense

8 mile commute ftw

9/28/2008 10:12:21 PM

got lucky at the QT on Sydney Marcus tonight, only a 35 min. wait... see my chit chat thread for my HORRIBLE experience Friday

you guys must be having horrible luck

i have yet to wait in a line

9/28/2008 11:38:45 PM

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

well just ran out to find some...got $20 on Moreland south of I-20...the BMW definately was out of place there and I had to beat back a couple of crack whores (seriously, there were crack whores there hitting up the people filling up)

9/29/2008 12:41:20 AM

i got gas on friday. i went to like, 10 stations, and ended up waiting an hour in line anyways, at the shell at northside and 75. i called costco before i went searching and they said they were out of gas.

9/29/2008 11:43:58 AM

Perdue probably wanted to have a prayer vigil at the capital steps for more gas (a la the drought one)

this state is full of fucktards...government is just a reflection of the people

where/when have you been filling up? just you know, for the sake of curiosity...

9/29/2008 6:17:27 PM

for me it was last night at 1am in the ghetto

9/29/2008 8:09:19 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.

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 misrepresenting

9/30/2008 8:40:32 AM

^last couple of times i went by there they were out. i have to fill up 2x a week. i'm debating whether to go tonight or tomorrow morning.

nbc news just did a report from the QT on sidney marcus

9/30/2008 6:43:27 PM

national or local?

10/1/2008 12:02:52 AM

national, the nightly news w/ b. williams

10/1/2008 10:56:44 AM

god damn, how fucking douchebaggy is this town....just spent a night out drinking at 5 paces...every dude in there was wearing something from the following...boat shoes, oxford shirts, or something of a pastel color

fuck this place...except the women...you ladies rival what I saw in san diego

[Edited on October 4, 2008 at 2:31 AM. Reason : .]

10/4/2008 2:30:54 AM

yeah, definitely a lot of those places here... Thats why I usually have fun at the ghetto/dive bars.


Still have yet to make it to Northside Tavern, supposed to be a really good dump

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 too

10/4/2008 6:01:37 PM

^^^ hahaha, you went to 5 paces, what did you expect?? that's by far the frattiest bar in atlanta. all the new kids from UVa who work at my firm go there every single weekend.

10/6/2008 2:03:17 PM

i had no idea...we were at loco's watching the red sox game when they informed us that they were closing at midnight...the wife of one of my buddies was out with some girlfriends at 5 paces, so we went there to watch. he had a buddy he played football with in town from boston, so the two of us watched the game and made fun of the dudes in there

10/8/2008 1:17:43 AM

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

found out i know an ATL TWWer by a degree of separation as well

10/12/2008 8:32:00 PM

any good southern seafood places to recommend?

Or, just good "out of the way" amazing restaurants/dives to recommend??

10/13/2008 10:56:21 PM

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

^^ my wife and i love south city kitchen http://www.southcitykitchen.com/

we've been to the vinings location a few times - it's not necessarily a seafood restaurant but they have a few seafood items - great southern food - they make some great fried green tomatoes
