  • Gato Arigato at Gato right in Candler park = amazing japanese cuisine if you can wait in that line. Mondays and Tuesdays only. 7pm and on.
  • Laughing Skull Open Mic (878 Peachtree St NE) watch 15-20 newcomers for $10 at the famous laughing skull – and eat a burger while you’re at it!
  • Spoken Word at Marlee’s Tea and Coffee House  ( 349 Decatur St ) from 7:30 – 10pm with a small cover (just $2). You don’t like spoken word you uncultured f? GET WITH IT.

Editors Pick: I feel like you have to have that last cup of coffee. Its the end of an era. Make it out there, and while you are wired, go to The Earl, Service or the Hangar depending on your scene (Folky, European or broke, respectively).

In the news: GA Tolls are ending!? amazing The director of Anchorman 2 gets interviews by AccessAtlanta Check out this BAMF at Atlanta Streets alive. We have the worst case of suburban poverty in the nation. White flight! Is a giant ferries wheel coming for sure in down town? Atlanta Jazz Festival is happening this weekend. Parks Edge is being replaced by Victory Sandwich Bar - not leaving inman park after all. If you live east of downtown it is your civic duty to fill this out. Hope for Oklahoma today :(

Fair Warning: I’m going on vacation to the forbidden lands (for we Cubans)– Puerto Rico from Thursday 5/23 to Wednesday 5/29. FUNSERV will be back and good to go on Thursday 5/30.

san-juan-sightseeing-m-38604

They stole our flag (Cuba) and inverted the colors. For that we will whoop their ass in baseball until the end of time. I’m excited see the works of La Pandilla and listen to Calle 13 nonstop.

Please, let me know if you had any advice on doing it up in PR!

Today:

  • Grindhouse Killer Burgers on Piedmont has Buy One Get One Free specials from 7:30-10pm. BOGOOOO

  • 10 high has Live Band Karaoke with the band Metalsome performing alongside you. How crazy is that? **NO COVER** and its at 816 N highland Ave NE

548627_10103024544879631_744073295_n

Editors pick: Good day to be networking, whether you are an artist (RAW / Black book swap), Yuppie (All the way in Alpharetta), Living in o4w, or an athlete (Running for brew). After swapping bsns cards, make it to one of the many comedy options tonight.
In the news: Don’t drink the pool water. Actually don’t drink the ice in restaurants either.. >< My man Brandon Sadler was on 11 Alive!  Graffiti task force? New enemy. Well.. this is an alarming statistic about crime.

  • Clermont Lounge Karaoke ( 789 Ponce De Leon Avenue Northeast ) I really like to save this kind of night for truly special occasions. The Clermont Lounge, maybe the most famous place in Atlanta, where strippers go to die.
  • $1: Sushi at East ATL Thai & Sush (7 Flat Shoals SE); Sushi at Thaicoon & Sushi bar (1799 Briarcliff Rd)  + $2 burgers can be found at Hand in Hand ( 752 N Highland Ave NE)

Living Social is having a glow in the dark dance party. So there is a way to get out of ParkAtlanta tickets.. A bomb threatenin’ bank robber gets owned on I75 S yesterday. “Fulton County doesn’t do anything anyway” -Kasim Reed

  • Grindhouse Killer Burgers on Piedmont has Buy One Get One Free specials from 7:30-10pm. BOGOOOO
  • Talked to the owner of the new gastro-pub The Argosy– asking him about potential Usual shindig-worthy deals, he respons “ComeMo-Thur for two draft beers and get a complimentary woodfire cooked Pizza BUT this starts AFTER 11PM. Tell him the FUNSERV sent you for kicks ;) Place is balllinnnn
  • 10 high has Live Band Karaoke with the band Metalsome performing alongside you. How crazy is that? **NO COVER** and its at 816 N highland Ave NE
