Friday nights serves as background for the Artist' Market, where a small gathering of artisans, crafters, and jewelry makers display and sell their wares-the market helps add a different vibe to the kinetic energy & hustle of lovers and others who frequent the Atlantic Station scene. Lots of originality and innovation within these creative boundaries-There also is an interesting selection of vendors on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, akin to those open air markets that you might experience in Soho or downtown Paris. You might pick up a modernist painting made by the next Jackson Pollock, or some original silver handmade pendants, imported shea butters and lotions, mother of pearl evening bags, East Asian/Indo oils and incense, bbq and chef apparel...there's so much to see and experience. Be sure to check out the Holiday Market beginning this November-it's a European style market with a unique assortment of gifts and goodies for the holiday season. The Atlantic Station Market is within the heart of this sprawling new complex of theaters, cool restaurants, modern loft-style condos and boutiques.

The TASTE Network, hosts wine and cheese pairing events at great venues all over Atlanta. What makes this unique is that each event is at a new location with new pairings. Some of the events are for charity, loft openings, or just to mingle with new people. All of the events are informative, engaging, and absolutely fun! If you're new to wine, or don't know much about them, Brady has an excellent way of teaching you about them. He can show you what to look for, how to taste it, and which cheeses or other dishes to pair with it. And if you're a connoisseur, you'll love to try the wines from all over the world. I can't say enough good things about the TASTE Network. I have learned a lot, tasted a lot of good wines, and made some new friends.

Georgia Power deservedly gets a lot of flack for their heavy-handed business practices. However,…read moreI'm not here to complain about nuke plants or the PSC (well, THIS time.) I'm here to actually praise the big, black Leaning Tower of Power. Why? Well, simply because of the Disco Substation. Now I don't know why this thing exists. Well, TECHNICALLY, I know why this substation exists, to transform voltage and current from those used in transmission lines to those used in distribution lines. This, however, does not explain the disco lights. Seriously, disco lights. Drive by this thing at night and it looks like an all-night rave. Or maybe an alien ship from Close Encounters landing nearby (in which Richard Dreyfuss played an electrical lineman. Coincidence?) (Time passes and googs are oogled.) OK, after further research, I discovered that the disco lights are part of some art installation used to hide the substation. In my opinion, the use of disco lights kind of DRAWS attention to things, but, hey, I'm no fancy artist. Still, props to both Georgia's (Power and Tech) for adding disco lights to, well, anything. They should start adding disco lights to the Tech Tower or maybe some of their dorms. It might help those enginerds relax and get their funk on. Because THAT, my foxy ladies, would be groooovy.

If you know me, you know I am a hardcore fan of Georgia Tech basketball. At schools like UNC and…read moreDuke, they have "Midnight Madness" to usher in the start of the new basketball season. "Jacket Jam" is Georgia Tech's version. It took place this past Sunday at the brand new McCamish Pavilion. This was the inaugural event at Tech's new on-campus basketball arena and it was free to the public. The first 2,000 fans got free t-shirts. Since the men and women's team had been playing "away" from home all of last season (at Philips Arena and Gwinnett Arena), the teams' return to campus plus a $50 million renovated arena was reason enough to make this event spectacular, "over the top" almost. For the better part of the last decade, this event was called HoopsFest. It consisted of a men's, and possibly women's, scrimmage plus an autograph session at the end. This year's event was much different. New coaches, new arena, new attitude, I suppose. It was a big production, like a giant pep rally, complete with the entire Georgia Tech marching band, Buzz, the cheerleaders, the Gold Rush dance team, baton twirlers, step dancers from Alpha Phi Alpha, a DJ, and more. The new HD video and ribbon boards, theatrical lighting, spot lighting, and sound system were also put to the test and on full display for everyone to see. The entire men's and women's teams were introduced one-by-one in grand fashion. They ended their introductions with a performance of Gangnam Style. After the dog and pony show ended, the teams did not scrimmage. Instead, different players from the men's and women's teams teamed up and represented different sections of the arena in a three-point shootout competition. Georgia Lottery BOGO (buy one, get one) coupons went to the winning sections. Thoughout the competition, various players and the head coaches were interviewed. The event ended with the player and coaches' meet-and-greet where free posters were handed out and fans could get autographs and photos taken with the team. The entire event was broadcast live and archived on ESPN3. Hopefully, Jacket Jam will continue for many years to come. If you're a Georgia Tech supporter, then you already know about this event. If you're just a casual fan looking for something fun and free to do, Jacket Jam is definitely worth checking out. It's a fun way to spend a couple hours.
