Atlantic Station is a great part of Atlanta. This all-in-one shopping district is one of my favorite places to go. Being able to park my car, hit a few shops, dip into The Grape for a nice glass of wine or have a great meal at Atlantic Grill practically makes it a daytrip. It's a straight shot down 400 and you can be there in like 20 minutes. Atlantic... [Read more...]
“On Being a Bachelor” book launch party.
Any fans of Atlanta's free weekly The Sunday Paper? It's relatively new -in comparison to say, the Creative Loafing- and I liken to the new kid on the block. The news editor Stephanie Ramage is scrappy newsie whom I can always go to for a critical eye. Good or bad, she'll tell you what she thinks. But I hold a special place in my heart for Blane...

And in comparison to what you get, it is never worth the price. But Inception is just the type of film that you can feel fine with spending 10.00 on it. Inception is well, the exception. ...

I found 7 really cool factoids about 007 that are sure to impress your date when you take in next James Bond film. 1) The biggest grossing film of the franchise (after... [Read more...]
The year was 1982, Connors beat McEnroe at Wimbeldon, Ghandi won a Best Picture Oscar and British punk band The Clash was in the top 10 of the music charts. Also, in that year a little sci-fi film called Tron came out. This film has a cult following- you have the storyline (very popular at the time) man vs. the big bad super computer, you have the effects,... [Read more...]
With out revealing my age, I’m an Old School Hip Hop guy. I have also been involved in the music industry in one way shape or form for the last 15 years including, owning a music retail store, running a record label and managing artist.

I have to admit I think this is crazy! Could you image if the economy was doing better, what this glove would have gone for? Here is the crazier thing; they expected that the glove would sell from $40K to $65K. It went for $350K! Wow! After taxes and everything, the buyer will pay $420K. If that guy is willing to spend that for a glove, I have a few charities... [Read more...]
