Usual Wednesday shindigs:

Church Bar Karaoke ( 466 Edgewood Ave ) arguably my favorite place in Atlanta. Do organ karaoke and drink huge sangria’s as your friends look in awe at this blasphemous church of hedonism. Starts at 10pm.

MJQ ( 736 Ponce De Leon Ave NE ) Wednesday night is normally free/cheap, and the break dance room is BUMPIN!! Do not miss this ATL institution.

Ri Ra has Comedy hosted by Sarah McCoy at 8pm for just $5. 20% off food items + $3 PBR Tall Boys + $4 well drinks. Not bad for *Midtown. SamServ.. ><

Funky / Jazz Wednesday at Elliot St Pub (51 Elliot St, Castleberry Hill ) free jazz, either in the street, or in the pub. That and some wine and you cant go wrong with your SO.

One Love Wednesdays is at El Bar - Drink specials all night

Opera has a sick college night if you enjoy Hip Hop and top 40. $5 drink specials, a rarity for this place, and there is even beer pong! 1150 Crescent Ave, go at 11ish you cradle robber

Don’t miss the Food Trucks from 11-2pm at either 112 Krog St (the Stove Works parking lot) or Underground Atlanta (50 upper Alabama St) for Food truck Wednesdays!

Bachata/Salsa Lessons at Tongue & Groove (565 Main St NE) so you can finally court those sexy latinos/latinas you have been fantasizing so long for. $10 for dudes, and the lessons go on from 9-10pm – then the club gets bumpin with the pros. Ladies free before 10pm.

$3 Sliders at The Shed at Glenwood was rated best deal in town by CL. Starts at 4pm at 475 Bill kennedy way Glenwood Park

$1: Tacos at Pozole (1044 Greenwood Ave, the Highlands)

Editors Pick: Bo Burnham would be so worth it if it was affordable. Its Wednesday so the usual Church/MJQ Combo is a must if you aren’t going to be at the Hangar, seeing !!!, or watching Kill Bill with a bunch of Hipsters who already saw it twice before. Daymm five point palm exploding burnnnnnn

In the news: A photo of Atlanta without Centennial park. Speaking of Centennial, its going to get an ATLANTA EYE!!! Check out this bluegrass band covering hip hop songs. AND The housing market is on fire

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:

Social Running Club - opens today at the Elbow Room in Buckhead >< https://www.facebook.com/events/464299513645081/?ref=14 Show up at 7pm, run/walk a 5k, then you get to drink together!

Don’t want to sell out above? Black Book Drawing and Networking https://www.facebook.com/events/516586618375671/?ref=14 bring your sketchbook / moleskin / black book, draw in other artists black book. Great idea. Motivational speaker and liqour included. What a win

Hole in the wall ( 3177 Peachtree Rd NE – Buckhead) has all you can drink beer and standup for free now! Pool, darts, a bad ass punching machine, super bougie yuppies in Buckhead — you can’t go wrong.

Other comedy spots: I believe Sweetwater has Comedy on many mondays and Star Bar’s amateur night has gold once in a while.

All you can bowl for just 5.99 after 9pm at Suburban Lanes

Diesel Filling Station has a dirty Bingo that starts at 8pm

Monday Night Brewing from 5-7:30pm on 670 Trabert Ave has a sick brewery tour Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Google it– people say its way more legit than sweetwater.

Speaking of Sweetwater- Beer & Comedy Night is back every Monday for $10 starting at 7:30pm with great beer selection and solid stand up.

Magic City Mondays (241 Forsyth St) an Atlanta experience like the Clermont – you can’t find higher quality black exotic dancers in the nation. Pole tricks and playas making it rain everywhere.

$1: Sushi at East ATL Thai & Sush (7 Flat Shoals SE); Sushi at Thaicoon & Sushi bar (1799 Briarcliff Rd) and Tacos at Perla Taqueria (1958 piedmont Rd NE)

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.

Usual Wednesday shindigs:

Church Bar Karaoke ( 466 Edgewood Ave ) arguably my favorite place in Atlanta. Do organ karaoke and drink huge sangria’s as your friends look in awe at this blasphemous church of hedonism. Starts at 10pm.

MJQ ( 736 Ponce De Leon Ave NE ) Wednesday night is normally free/cheap, and the break dance room is BUMPIN!! Do not miss this ATL institution.

Ri Ra has Comedy hosted by Sarah McCoy at 8pm for just $5. 20% off food items + $3 PBR Tall Boys + $4 well drinks. Not bad for *Midtown. SamServ.. ><

Funky / Jazz Wednesday at Elliot St Pub (51 Elliot St, Castleberry Hill ) free jazz, either in the street, or in the pub. That and some wine and you cant go wrong with your SO.

One Love Wednesdays is at El Bar - Drink specials all night

Opera has a sick college night if you enjoy Hip Hop and top 40. $5 drink specials, a rarity for this place, and there is even beer pong! 1150 Crescent Ave, go at 11ish you cradle robber

Don’t miss the Food Trucks from 11-2pm at either 112 Krog St (the Stove Works parking lot) or Underground Atlanta (50 upper Alabama St) for Food truck Wednesdays!

Bachata/Salsa Lessons at Tongue & Groove (565 Main St NE) so you can finally court those sexy latinos/latinas you have been fantasizing so long for. $10 for dudes, and the lessons go on from 9-10pm – then the club gets bumpin with the pros. Ladies free before 10pm.

$3 Sliders at The Shed at Glenwood was rated best deal in town by CL. Starts at 4pm at 475 Bill kennedy way Glenwood Park

$1: Tacos at Pozole (1044 Greenwood Ave, the Highlands)

In the news: We are the most redneck city. Aereo launches in Atlanta in 2 days = Live TV streaming into your products, Great blog post on the ATL street art Scene keep scrolling down. Tickets are up for a second Neutral Milk Hotel show in October. Living Walls is having a Prom Scoutmob’s supplying the tickets + free drink. This music festival is coming to Atlanta this summer

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.

Apache Cafe has its Sounds & Lyrics live jam band as artists come and join in R&B, hip hop, dubstep and everything in between. Starts at 9pm as the bartender for a $5 Holler.

QUAD has its resident DJs spinning Dubstep (Syl-o, Ninja Flash, etc) for $5 to party until 3am if you are crazy enough. Don’t do drugs!

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)

In the news: This twins are Co-Valedictorians at Spelman. Congrats ladies! The street artist HENSE is going beyond the ATL and if you like his work in Peru check out other pieces of gold. 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
