YOU`VE GOT 11 MONTHS UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR TAXES AGAIN - LET`S CELEBRATE!!
In the world of fashion, fabulous spring weather means even more fabulous fall trunk shows. Don`t miss the Lela Rose Fall Collection - for two days only - at Tootsies this Thursday, April 15 and Friday, April 16. You can`t go wrong with Lela. And fall will be here before you know it (well, sort of).
The weather is so darn beautiful and one of the best ways to enjoy it is in Piedmont Park this weekend during the Dogwood Festival. Don`t miss HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern and the Sun Dial Restaurant & Bar on Saturday and Livingston Restaurant + Bar on Sunday at the " Friends of Dogwood Pavilion ," a ticketed event, offering an upscale hospitality experience. This fabulous food and wine fete will be held in the newly renovated, multi-million dollar, Greystone event facility in the heart of Piedmont Park.
When you`re not basking in the beautiful weather, check out some of the fabulous films at the Atlanta Film Festival April 15-23, featuring tons of movies, parties and signature events. Of note, Grammy Award-winning performance artist Chris "Ludacris" Bridges will present the Academy Award-nominated "Crash," on Wednesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema with an after party following the screening at Straits .
Another awesome event you won`t want to miss is The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center`s first Nexus Award, Wednesday, April 21. The award is presented in recognition of demonstrated excellence and achievement by individuals who have made a profound contribution to the visual arts in Atlanta and beyond. And this year`s winners are.....(pan the audience).....(pregnant pause).....Dr. Andrea Barnwell Brownlee - Director of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, and Dr. Jerry Cullum - Editor at Large of Art Papers. Woo hoo!!! Tickets are $60 per person in advance/$75 at the door. For more information go to www.nexusaward.com
It`s that time of year again: the Inman Park Festival kicks off Friday, April 23 with the Butterfly Ball, the most irreverent black tie ball in the city. The festival continues through the weekend including the Atlanta`s biggest arts market, the most hilarious parade ever, a tour of city`s finest Victorian and Craftsman style homes, live entertainment and our favorite - corn dogs galore. Yes - carnival food. You know you love it. We do too!!
And speaking of foods we love - what is it with loving foods we have to work for?? Ok we`re not out in the fields farming - although we have immense respect for farmers - but waiting until 10 p.m. for a burger is work!! Now we have a new workout goal: Bone Garden Cantina`s Sonoran Hot Dog, only available between 2 and 6 p.m. Frankly, this is more do-able for us than, say the 12 a.m. Dollar-Makes-You-Hollar Hot Dog at HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern , but for night owls - that`s a deal. And while both are worth checking out, Bone Garden puts some work into theirs - it`s candy-cane wrapped in bacon and grilled, fusing the two delicious flavors into one. Then its stuffed in a fresh Bolillo, topped with seasoned pinto beans, pico de gallo, grilled onions, jalapenos and mayonnaise and served with a side of tomatillo-guacamole sauce. Night owl or afternoon snacker?? Have it your way!!
Don`t miss the next Spotlight on Design at SWITCH Modern, on Wednesday, April 28, featuringthe fabulous architect Yong Pak. Mix and mingle with your designer friends, sip wine, nibble on cheese and hear Yong discuss the Modern sensibility hebrings to Traditional and Classical architecture
