East Atlanta Adventures

On Friday night Diana and I went to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was cute and everything but for some reason, we were in the most annoying audience ever! For some reason they all kept applauding throughout the movie... it was so weird! I have never experienced that! I mean, I've been to a movie where the audience clapped at the end, but never multiple points throughout the movie! Strange. But it was in Atlantic Station so I should have guessed the experience would be annoying. I love Atlantic Station but the process of going there always kind of sucks and everything is so crowded and I ALWAYS forget where I parked! Oh, and Diana and I were almost hit by a taxi. It was eventful to say the least.
Ok, so the movie was pretty good... I don't really need to ever see it again, but the soundtrack was really great and Michael Cera is the most adorable creature to ever walk the planet, so it was totally worth it. Afterwards, Diana and I went to The Earl to meet up with Jacqueline and it ended up being one of the most fun nights ever! After a few PBRS and some fabulous conversation, we wanted to go dancing so we walked over to Mary's, a gay bar in the EAV. It was pretty great except their bathrooms have windows on the doors and, if any of you guys know me at all, you know I have a multitude of bathroom phobias that definitely includes people being able to see you through a little window! After Mary's we headed the The Graveyard Tavern. It was great! No cover and a free Colt 45! Good combo! We danced like crazy and then decided to hit up My Sister's Room, a lesbian club in EAV. Let me tell you, when they play Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", it takes on a whole new meaning! I was not prepared!
It was so funny being there. For some reason I was afraid I would be found out to be a straight person and kicked out- haha! Diana noticed we were the only people carrying purses, so maybe that was a give-away but let me tell you- that place is fun! I mean, there were a few dudes there but it looked like almost any other dance floor with 99% women dancing on it! Men hardly ever dance anyways. So I will DEF. be returning to My Sister's Room!
Last night was Melissa's birthday at Sabroso in Little Five Points and they had a drag show. Wow... now, I have only been to one other drag show at Wet Bar back in the day, but I am pretty sure there is no amount of preparation that could prepare someone for an experience like that. It was crazy, but so much fun!
In conclusion, I am pretty damn lucky to have such fun, crazy, open-minded, and brilliant friends... never a dull moment.


Ps. I cannot stop listening to Band of Horses right now. Download: Our Swords, The General Specific, Is there a Ghost, and No Ones Gonna Love you.... so great : )

And while you're at it, you should probably dance around your room to Devendra Banhart's Carmensita and Lover.

Let me know how those work out for you : )
