string(1308) "By now, everyone has probably seen the larger-than-life mural of OutKast (André 3000, left, and Big Boi), painted by JEKS, that adorns the wall of WISH ATL, the boutique in Little Five Points. You’ve probably even had your picture taken in front of it if you are a self-respecting Atlanta creative — or aspire to be one.
OutKast makes the music, but they — and other Grammy Award winners who record in the ATL — couldn’t do it without the serious session players who lay down the tracks. Part of the Organized Noize production team, they are to Atlanta what the Wrecking Crew and the Section were to L.A., Booker T. & the M.G.’s were to Memphis, the Funk Brothers were to Detroit, MFSB was to Philadelphia, the Compass Point Allstars were to Nassau, and, well, you get the point …
According to Tomi Martin, who has been an integral part of the Atlanta recording scene for years, he was coming out of his bank in L5P one day when he first saw the mural. “I saw people posing with it, then I started seeing all of these posts on social media of people doing selfies with the mural, and I thought, ‘why not have some of the musicians that were actually a part of working with Outkast?’ We’re all friends, so I called the fellas up, we met, and the rest is history!”

Guests enjoyed various cocktails mixed with Red Bull and some serious Lemon Pepper wings from Lit Ass Wings, A Stone Mountain joint. An old school television set art installation flashed the names, images and schedules of the performers while people checked out the info, took selfies and gawked at the box TV sets.
Highlights of the festival include Denzel Curry vs. Joey Bada$$ in a five-round bout at 787 Windsor; Osho’s Bounce Dat party at MJQ Concourse; a Trap Roundtable discussion with Shawty Redd, Lex Luger, and Zaytoven; a Conversation with Coach K, COO, Quality Control, at Plaza Theatre, with an afterparty at Graveyard Tavern; Young Baby Tate’s presentation, “Camp,” at Masquerade; Ari Lennox, performing at Variety Playhouse; and Teyana Taylor, presenting her Atlanta iteration of House of Petunia, West End Production Park.
This year the Red Bull Music Festival takes place all across Atlanta, offering a more interactive festival showcasing some of the best venues Atlanta has to offer.
Tickets for events scheduled between November 1—14 are on sale now."

Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Kim Crawford wines, and Estrella Jalisco beer were the drinks available to those awaiting the Volta premiere, provided under the entrance to the Big Top outdoors with a breath-taking view of the Atlanta skyline at sunset. Guests were also able to have their photo taken with some of the performers featured in the two-hour-plus extravaganza, including the main character, Waz, and a member of the Otaku Double Dutchers.
Volta centers around Waz, an introvert begging to be free, as he transforms into the person he was always meant to be. The freedom to be himself is something he apparently only experienced as a child on his bicycle, with the theme explored in Volta’s rousing climax.
Volta is Cirque Du Soleil’s 41st production since the company first started wowing audiences in 1984. It is the 18th show under the Big Top. The production runs through January 5, 2020.

Oceania was the main stage, with two others, Amazonia and Disco Inferno, following in size, and three smaller stages, Six Feathers, Tyches, and Silent Disco. While the highlight of the festival was the non-stop music, the stages themselves, carefully crafted, offered their own visual effects. The Disco Inferno stage featured a giant disco ball that spit out fire, while Amazonia offered aerial performers, dancers and visuals for select DJ sets. Oceania, like its name implies, looked like something you might find under the sea, a home to the great Poseidon himself. Accented with large pearls and giant pillars, the stage was not only aesthetically appealing but interactive as well, bellowing smoke and flames during the artists’ performances.
Unfortunately, Diplo, scheduled to headline had to cancel due to "unforeseen circumstances,” though he promised to make up the date t/b/a. DJ Diesel, who you might better know as Shaquille O’Neal, covered that slot, proving not only that he could hold down a 75 minute set with ease, but also why he is the "Chief Fun Officer" for Carnival Cruise Lines. Other highly-anticipated artists included Rezz, who, as direct support for DJ Diesel, showed she should've headlined Friday night. Indeed, she performed like she was the headliner!. Zedds Dead, Alison Wonderland, Above & Beyond all rocked everyone's socks off, fans posted up for hours on the rail to see their favorite artists and show unconditional support.
The Disco Inferno Stage included Boogie T, Subtronics, Leah Culver (an Atlanta hometown hero). Artists on the Amazonia stage included Detox Unit, Tipper, Jade Cicada and Zen Selekta, among others. Sunday night Marshmello closed out the Oceania stage with a bang, literally, with fireworks and confetti at the finale; Claude VonStroke closed out the Disco Inferno Stage and Tipper the Amazonia Stage.
On Saturday there was a pool party hosted by Beatbox Beverages, one of the many sponsors of the Imagine Festival. There were giant duck and flamingo floats, with festival attendees soaking up the sun, playing with beach balls, making a splash, or getting some shade. The options were endless. In the Imagine Festival Gaming Lounge gamers and DJs raised money for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Also, in the gaming room there was a giant ball pit people could jump in and a “complimentary bar” where you could interact with others and give strangers respectful compliments at this bar and. Live painters and art installations filled the festival grounds, and a vendor alley featured food, drinks, and retail therapy with shops like Festy Besty and Spunglasses.

Six stages came alive with musicians, live performers, art installations — there was no shortage of entertainment at the event, held September —- at the Atlanta Motror Speedway.
Oceania was the main stage, with two others, Amazonia and Disco Inferno, following in size, and three smaller stages, Six Feathers, Tyches, and Silent Disco. While the highlight of the festival was the non-stop music, the stages themselves, carefully crafted, offered their own visual effects. The Disco Inferno stage featured a giant disco ball that spit out fire, while Amazonia offered aerial performers, dancers and visuals for select DJ sets. Oceania, like its name implies, looked like something you might find under the sea, a home to the great Poseidon himself. Accented with large pearls and giant pillars, the stage was not only aesthetically appealing but interactive as well, bellowing smoke and flames during the artists’ performances.
Unfortunately, Diplo, scheduled to headline had to cancel due to "unforeseen circumstances,” though he promised to make up the date t/b/a. DJ Diesel, who you might better know as Shaquille O’Neal, covered that slot, proving not only that he could hold down a 75 minute set with ease, but also why he is the "Chief Fun Officer" for Carnival Cruise Lines. Other highly-anticipated artists included Rezz, who, as direct support for DJ Diesel, showed she should've headlined Friday night. Indeed, she performed like she was the headliner!. Zedds Dead, Alison Wonderland, Above & Beyond all rocked everyone's socks off, fans posted up for hours on the rail to see their favorite artists and show unconditional support.
The Disco Inferno Stage included Boogie T, Subtronics, Leah Culver (an Atlanta hometown hero). Artists on the Amazonia stage included Detox Unit, Tipper, Jade Cicada and Zen Selekta, among others. Sunday night Marshmello closed out the Oceania stage with a bang, literally, with fireworks and confetti at the finale; Claude VonStroke closed out the Disco Inferno Stage and Tipper the Amazonia Stage.
On Saturday there was a pool party hosted by Beatbox Beverages, one of the many sponsors of the Imagine Festival. There were giant duck and flamingo floats, with festival attendees soaking up the sun, playing with beach balls, making a splash, or getting some shade. The options were endless. In the Imagine Festival Gaming Lounge gamers and DJs raised money for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Also, in the gaming room there was a giant ball pit people could jump in and a “complimentary bar” where you could interact with others and give strangers respectful compliments at this bar and. Live painters and art installations filled the festival grounds, and a vendor alley featured food, drinks, and retail therapy with shops like Festy Besty and Spunglasses.

Whether bands like Memphis May Fire or Hyro The Hero, on the Festival Stage, or those on the Main Stage, the crowd was ready to rumble, fueled by four different flavors of the energy drink available at the Rockstar Energy Lounge.
Atreyu, visiting Atlanta for the second time this year, kicked off music on the Main Stage with the newly-released "The Time Is Now.” They played favorites such as "Becoming The Bull" and "Falling Down." Frontman Alex Varkatzas, who recently underwent back surgery, proved to be fully-recovered, rocking out with fans.
Alternative-Indie band Circa Survive gave an hour-long set, performing "Act Appalled,” "Child of The Desert,” and "The Difference Between Medicine and Poison Is The Dose,” to the delight of fans. Frontman Anthony Green got close with the audience, crowdsurfing during “Rights of Investiture,” sending the crowd to cloud nine. While the crowd had been responsive all afternoon, Green’s performance really energized the audience while doing what he obviously enjoys.
Alternative band Four Year Strong played favorites off their most recent album, 2017’s Some of You Will Like This, Some of You Won’t. They really brought the heat, with fans moshing to "It Must Really Suck to Be Four Year Strong Right Now,” despite the scorching summer heat.
Igniting the stage with high jumps and a head-banging "don't care" attitude, rap/metalists Hyro The Hero — heavily influenced by Rage Against the Machine, Tupac, Rancid and Nirvana — played a set featuring "Never Back Down” and "Live Your F***in’ Life.”
Juliet Simms is a rocking singer-songwriter full of flare, attitude and sex appeal. The indie artist strutted across the stage in pleather fringe pants and tall boots, channeling her inner Joan Jett. Certainly a rock star on the rise, worked the stage and audience to everyone’s delight. In addition to her latest song, “Bad Love,” Simms also burned through "Trouble Finds You" and "End of The World."
The Nashville-based hard-rockers Memphis May Fire, also returning to Atlanta for a second time this year, played cuts off their most recent album Broken, frontman Matty Mullins telling the crowd between songs what it means to the band.
Trophy Eyes also performed on the outdoor stage, rousing the crowd with tracks from their most recent album The American Dream.
Before Sleeping With Sirens performed, fans talked amongst themselves, many hoping they heard their personal favorite, "Leave It All Behind. The band brought a lot of energy once they took the stage, performing other fan favorites like "Leave It All Behind,” "If I'm James Dean,” and "We Like It Loud.” The alternative band has resurrected the teenage nostalgia in many of us, frontman Kellin Quinn giving everyone total hair envy with his natural hair flips. Their highly anticipated new album, How It Feels To Be Lost will be available Sept. 6th.

Juliet Simms is a rocking singer-songwriter full of flare, attitude and sex appeal. The indie artist strutted across the stage in pleather fringe pants and tall boots, channeling her inner Joan Jett. Certainly a rock star on the rise, worked the stage and audience to everyone’s delight. In addition to her latest song, “Bad Love,” Simms also burned through "Trouble Finds You" and "End of The World."
The Nashville-based hard-rockers Memphis May Fire, also returning to Atlanta for a second time this year, played cuts off their most recent album Broken, frontman Matty Mullins telling the crowd between songs what it means to the band.
Trophy Eyes also performed on the outdoor stage, rousing the crowd with tracks from their most recent album The American Dream.
Before Sleeping With Sirens performed, fans talked amongst themselves, many hoping they heard their personal favorite, "Leave It All Behind. The band brought a lot of energy once they took the stage, performing other fan favorites like "Leave It All Behind,” "If I'm James Dean,” and "We Like It Loud.” The alternative band has resurrected the teenage nostalgia in many of us, frontman Kellin Quinn giving everyone total hair envy with his natural hair flips. Their highly anticipated new album, How It Feels To Be Lost will be available Sept. 6th.

string(7315) "Two hundred years ago, when Maria Higinia Gomez served as a high counselor to the Mexican rebels fighting for their independence from Spain, she had no idea her defiant spirit would inspire distilled spirits almost two centuries later. Yet her great grandson, Iñaki Orozco, the founder of Riazul Tequila, proudly recalls her story when he urges others to imbibe his tequila.
“She fought for her life, for her country, for her community,” he tells a packed house at Upstairs Atlanta for a “La Chingona” party introducing the tequila brand to Atlanta.
“She paved the way so that tonight you can drink Riazul Tequila,” Orozco explains. “Almost 200 years ago, in the Mexican highlands of Jalisco, she fought with the rebels. Because of her valiant effort, and her courage, she was awarded 10,000 acres of land which she divided up with the insurgents after the war. Bless her, she kept 250 acres. Today, it’s now the home of the agave we use to make this tequila.”
When Orozco first saw the acreage, which had remained virtually untouched since first coming into his great grandmother’s possession, he believed it might be the perfect place to cultivate the blue agave plant. Years later, the fruits of his labor — Riazul Tequila Plata, Riazul Tequila Reposado, and Riazul Tequila Añejo — have proved his instincts were correct.
“This land is extremely high up,” he explains, “which fosters the complexity and offers a lot of minerals in the soil bed,” all of which, along “with the high content of fructose from the elevation,” enables Riazul to create “such a unique tequila.”
“La chingona” loosely translates to badass. In Atlanta, Orozco and his business partner, Adora Galas, chose to celebrate local Atlanta women who, in their opinion, are “trendsetters, showing resolve in the face of adversity,” and able “to break through barriers facing women and shape their city’s cultural landscape.”
You probably remember the first time you drank tequila. You licked some salt off your fist. Knocked back a shot of the pale, clear liquid. Grimaced. And quickly bit into a slice of lime. Such were the measures to which you would go to mask the bitterness of cheap tequila in exchange for the intoxicating effects of the agave plant. For years, cheap tequila was all you could find at your local package store. Even the top-shelf brands of only a few decades ago weren’t that good.
Like the role of women in society, things have changed.
Tequila is on the upswing, riding high in taste tests once reserved for the finer scotch, bourbon, and dark whiskies. Celebrities as diverse as George Clooney, The Rock, E-40, Justin Timberlake, and Carlos Santana have invested in Mexican distilleries or started their own. Now more of a sipping drink rather than a quick high — indeed, it’s only in the United States where the salt and lime ritual is adhered to — today’s tequila is smooth and refined. Taste is controlled as much by altitude as it is by the fermentation process, the type of cask in which it is stored, the length of maturation, and many other variables along the way.
Today, that is exactly what connoisseurs take into account when considering which brand of tequila to buy. Price might be a factor — conventional wisdom dictates the more expensive, the better, right? — but it comes down to taste. And the taste garnered from the agave plants cultivated on the land bestowed to Orozco’s great-grandmother, is why he chooses to recognize her legacy — indeed, her spirit — in promoting Riazul Tequila by celebrating local chingonas.
In Atlanta, they include:
Shannon S. Evans: The co-host for the event, Evans, who was responsible for the cocktails served at Upstairs Atlanta, opened the hip restaurant and bar Studio No. 7, which burned down opening night 2012. Undeterred, Evans rebuilt the nightspot, which she ran until closing it in June 2018. Evans now operates Holy Sip, a cocktail experience and beverage consulting company where she plans intimate international dinner parties and works with the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival, the A3C Hip Hop Festival, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and The Soho House.
Monica Campana: The co-founder of “Living Walls, The City Speaks,” a nonprofit organization which seeks to promote, educate, and change perspectives towards public spaces through street art, Campana aims to bring together artists working in the public space (street artists, graffiti writers, etc.) with those who develop public spaces (urban planners, urban farmers, professors). Her efforts have proven highly successful, with the nonprofit operating at the intersection between economic development, art, and human service.
Lisa R. Hurd: The vice president of Capital Markets at RADCO, a real estate investment company, Hurd began her career in 2012 as an asset manager. Today, she oversees debt and equity capital markets and management strategies. In addition to her role at RADCO, she is the co-founder and current co-president of RENEW — Real Estate Network Empowering Women — whose mission is to inspire, empower, and advance women in commercial real estate finance. To date, RENEW has raised more than $200,000 to fund educational programing, networking opportunities, and scholarships for women pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees relating to commercial real estate finance.
Karen Anderson: After spending a year living, working, and volunteering in Atlanta, Anderson decided she wanted to create a public art project — and Tiny Doors ATL, a series of small doors used as art installations around the city, was born. Bringing together some friends and her colleague (and mental health counselor and master crafter), Sarah Meng, they installed the first door together. Today, Karen does public speaking, corporate and private sculpture installations, and was the volunteer applied arts director for Girls Rock Camp ATL.
Dianna Settles: A Vietnamese-American artist and musician, Settles’ artwork has its roots in a 2014 trip to Vietnam, where, exploring her family’s heritage, she discovered artwork in which, for the first time, she could see herself. Drawn to a blend of traditional Vietnamese painting with classical influences of European colonization that mirrored her own mixed-race identity, Settles found that the “in-between-ness” of this work resonated, inspiring her to evoke a similar feeling in her own work as a way to reach others who also feel unseen. A believer in the presence of non-white bodies in works of art as a radical and historically important act, Settles hopes that through sharing her paintings and prints others will be able to follow her journey and, in doing so, feel encouraged to follow themselves.
Chef Jiyeon Lee: Known affectionately by fellow chefs as Jiji, Lee is a rock star in the kitchen, as anyone who has dined at her Heirloom Market BBQ — or feasted on the Heirloom Market tacos with spicy Korean pork and kimchee served at the Upstairs Atlanta party — can attest. A music superstar in her home country of South Korea, Lee traded the microphone for a carving knife to focus on her culinary talents. Fortunately, South Korea’s loss is Atlanta’s gain.

Yet her great grandson, Iñaki Orozco, the founder of Riazul Tequila, proudly recalls her story when he urges others to imbibe his tequila.
“She fought for her life, for her country, for her community,” he tells a packed house at Upstairs Atlanta for a “La Chingona” party introducing the tequila brand to Atlanta.
“She paved the way so that tonight you can drink Riazul Tequila,” Orozco explains. “Almost 200 years ago, in the Mexican highlands of Jalisco, she fought with the rebels. Because of her valiant effort, and her courage, she was awarded 10,000 acres of land which she divided up with the insurgents after the war. Bless her, she kept 250 acres. Today, it’s now the home of the agave we use to make this tequila.”
When Orozco first saw the acreage, which had remained virtually untouched since first coming into his great grandmother’s possession, he believed it might be the perfect place to cultivate the blue agave plant. Years later, the fruits of his labor — Riazul Tequila Plata, Riazul Tequila Reposado, and Riazul Tequila Añejo — have proved his instincts were correct.
“This land is extremely high up,” he explains, “which fosters the complexity and offers a lot of minerals in the soil bed,” all of which, along “with the high content of fructose from the elevation,” enables Riazul to create “such a unique tequila.”
“La chingona” loosely translates to badass. In Atlanta, Orozco and his business partner, Adora Galas, chose to celebrate local Atlanta women who, in their opinion, are “trendsetters, showing resolve in the face of adversity,” and able “to break through barriers facing women and shape their city’s cultural landscape.”
You probably remember the first time you drank tequila. You licked some salt off your fist. Knocked back a shot of the pale, clear liquid. Grimaced. And quickly bit into a slice of lime. Such were the measures to which you would go to mask the bitterness of cheap tequila in exchange for the intoxicating effects of the agave plant. For years, cheap tequila was all you could find at your local package store. Even the top-shelf brands of only a few decades ago weren’t that good.
Like the role of women in society, things have changed.
Tequila is on the upswing, riding high in taste tests once reserved for the finer scotch, bourbon, and dark whiskies. Celebrities as diverse as George Clooney, The Rock, E-40, Justin Timberlake, and Carlos Santana have invested in Mexican distilleries or started their own. Now more of a sipping drink rather than a quick high — indeed, it’s only in the United States where the salt and lime ritual is adhered to — today’s tequila is smooth and refined. Taste is controlled as much by altitude as it is by the fermentation process, the type of cask in which it is stored, the length of maturation, and many other variables along the way.
Today, that is exactly what connoisseurs take into account when considering which brand of tequila to buy. Price might be a factor — conventional wisdom dictates the more expensive, the better, right? — but it comes down to taste. And the taste garnered from the agave plants cultivated on the land bestowed to Orozco’s great-grandmother, is why he chooses to recognize her legacy — indeed, her spirit — in promoting Riazul Tequila by celebrating local chingonas.
In Atlanta, they include:
Shannon S. Evans: The co-host for the event, Evans, who was responsible for the cocktails served at Upstairs Atlanta, opened the hip restaurant and bar Studio No. 7, which burned down opening night 2012. Undeterred, Evans rebuilt the nightspot, which she ran until closing it in June 2018. Evans now operates Holy Sip, a cocktail experience and beverage consulting company where she plans intimate international dinner parties and works with the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival, the A3C Hip Hop Festival, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and The Soho House.
Monica Campana: The co-founder of “Living Walls, The City Speaks,” a nonprofit organization which seeks to promote, educate, and change perspectives towards public spaces through street art, Campana aims to bring together artists working in the public space (street artists, graffiti writers, etc.) with those who develop public spaces (urban planners, urban farmers, professors). Her efforts have proven highly successful, with the nonprofit operating at the intersection between economic development, art, and human service.
Lisa R. Hurd: The vice president of Capital Markets at RADCO, a real estate investment company, Hurd began her career in 2012 as an asset manager. Today, she oversees debt and equity capital markets and management strategies. In addition to her role at RADCO, she is the co-founder and current co-president of RENEW — Real Estate Network Empowering Women — whose mission is to inspire, empower, and advance women in commercial real estate finance.

Karen Anderson: After spending a year living, working, and volunteering in Atlanta, Anderson decided she wanted to create a public art project — and Tiny Doors ATL, a series of small doors used as art installations around the city, was born. Bringing together some friends and her colleague (and mental health counselor and master crafter), Sarah Meng, they installed the first door together. Today, Karen does public speaking, corporate and private sculpture installations, and was the volunteer applied arts director for Girls Rock Camp ATL.
Dianna Settles: A Vietnamese-American artist and musician, Settles’ artwork has its roots in a 2014 trip to Vietnam, where, exploring her family’s heritage, she discovered artwork in which, for the first time, she could see herself. Drawn to a blend of traditional Vietnamese painting with classical influences of European colonization that mirrored her own mixed-race identity, Settles found that the “in-between-ness” of this work resonated, inspiring her to evoke a similar feeling in her own work as a way to reach others who also feel unseen. A believer in the presence of non-white bodies in works of art as a radical and historically important act, Settles hopes that through sharing her paintings and prints others will be able to follow her journey and, in doing so, feel encouraged to follow themselves.
Chef Jiyeon Lee: Known affectionately by fellow chefs as Jiji, Lee is a rock star in the kitchen, as anyone who has dined at her Heirloom Market BBQ — or feasted on the Heirloom Market tacos with spicy Korean pork and kimchee served at the Upstairs Atlanta party — can attest.

It’s the same for any singer/songwriter stepping onto the stage at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur for the first time. There’s the sense of awe and wonder, playing a room where the careers of so many performers have been launched, those songsmiths who base their careers on what they have to say and how they say it. Usually accompanying themselves on an acoustic guitar or piano, they are plugged in, tuned up and ready to make that great leap forward. Just seeing their picture in the “tonight” box next to the side entrance door brings them closer to fine. Playing the room, and having the audience respond favorably, is the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, yeah, even the proverbial cat’s meow.
Abe Partridge was no different. More than a few times between songs, he shook his head in disbelief and remarked how incredible it was to be playing Eddie’s. It was a career goal that was just a dream when he first started writing songs while still an avionics engineer tech sergeant in the U.S. Air Force.
His show was booked for a Tuesday night, July 2, two nights before the Fourth of July with jingoism at a fervor that could only mean it’s an election year. Not a lot of people are in town at such a time. Even fewer think about going to see a singer/songwriter. The crowd was small, but those there hung on Abe’s every word, as he told stories of love, the blues of being in an “undisclosed location in (the) southwest Asia killing floor,” the irony of a punk rocker buying a Black Flag t-shirt on Amazon, or the harsh reality that “our babies will never grow up to be astronauts” 50 years after man first walked on the moon.
After the show, Partridge mingled in the lobby with the audience, who he’d invited to check out his art work for sale or perhaps by a CD or t-shirt. And they did. His wife Cathy was at the merch table, pulling stickers and magnets, while explaining Partridge’s technique of painting on tar-covered boards. There are those who claim NASA's moon landing was fake, but Partridge's performance at Eddie's was real. The night was one small step for a musician, one giant leap for Abe Partridge.

It’s the same for any singer/songwriter stepping onto the stage at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur for the first time. There’s the sense of awe and wonder, playing a room where the careers of so many performers have been launched, those songsmiths who base their careers on what they have to say and how they say it. Usually accompanying themselves on an acoustic guitar or piano, they are plugged in, tuned up and ready to make that great leap forward. Just seeing their picture in the “tonight” box next to the side entrance door brings them closer to fine. Playing the room, and having the audience respond favorably, is the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, yeah, even the proverbial cat’s meow.
Abe Partridge was no different. More than a few times between songs, he shook his head in disbelief and remarked how incredible it was to be playing Eddie’s. It was a career goal that was just a dream when he first started writing songs while still an avionics engineer tech sergeant in the U.S. Air Force.
His show was booked for a Tuesday night, July 2, two nights before the Fourth of July with jingoism at a fervor that could only mean it’s an election year. Not a lot of people are in town at such a time. Even fewer think about going to see a singer/songwriter. The crowd was small, but those there hung on Abe’s every word, as he told stories of love, the blues of being in an “undisclosed location in (the) southwest Asia killing floor,” the irony of a punk rocker buying a Black Flag t-shirt on Amazon, or the harsh reality that “our babies will never grow up to be astronauts” 50 years after man first walked on the moon.
After the show, Partridge mingled in the lobby with the audience, who he’d invited to check out his art work for sale or perhaps by a CD or t-shirt. And they did. His wife Cathy was at the merch table, pulling stickers and magnets, while explaining Partridge’s technique of painting on tar-covered boards. There are those who claim NASA's moon landing was fake, but Partridge's performance at Eddie's was real. The night was one small step for a musician, one giant leap for Abe Partridge.

There is a long list of people who have made Atlanta a more interesting, fun place to live, depending on how deep your roots are in Atlanta. Decades ago, there was The Goat Man; then the Leaf Lady; the Piedmont Pig; Lester Maddox; Wolfie, who stood on street corners selling copies of The Great Speckled Bird; Hosea Williams; Bruce Hampton, Sister Louisa — people who live their lives humbly and sincerely while being mythologized by those who see an enigmatic personality stretching the boundaries of society rather than conforming to them.
Perhaps one of the best known, and most endearing people in this city is Blondie. She can be found nightly at the Clermont Lounge, where she strips and shakes onstage, leaving nothing to the imagination, revealing “the hat matches the purse.” When she’s not seductively strutting across the bar top stage, Blondie regales her fans with poetry and prose, sometimes offering a souvenir beer can expertly crushed between her buxom breasts.
The Queen of Ponce de Leon recently celebrated forty years of sultriness at the Clermont Lounge, taking her act out of the basement and up to the roof top of the newly-reopened Hotel Clermont. She strutted her stuff for friends and fans who gathered to pay tribute to her years of work, not taking it off, as she does under the cloak of darkness, but with numerous outfit changes in broad daylight, offering glimpses of the many facets of her personality.
Long may Blondie reign!

When it finally closed, it underwent a few personality changes, but, unlike other old school structures in Atlanta, was saved from the wrecking ball. Today, as the Ponce City Market, it's a destination for friends, families, and visitors, offering a beautiful view and entertainment for all.
The Ponce City Market is so much more than the old Sears building turned into a dining and retail complex. Take the original elevator up to the roof and you’ve made a trip to Skyline Park, a midway of familiar, family-friendly games, including Skee Ball, Derby Race, and Ring Toss, along with a mini-golf course, a three-story high slide and a Heege Tower swing.
Skyline Park is the boardwalk for Atlantans doing a staycation — and a destination for tourists to the city "too busy to hate." Games, prizes and food await visitors, with an atmosphere so close to the real thing that you can almost hear the barkers and the carneys beckoning you into their stalls.
Skyline Park also offers traditional midway snacks, from hot dogs to hot pretzels, tacos, wraps, sodas and a serious selection of frozen adult beverages. For those looking for more substantial fare and wanting to make an evening out of the experience, grab a table at Nine Mile Station, with a menu for the more discerning palate. A restaurant that boasts a bountiful selection of gourmet salads, starters, and entrees, along with sumptuous cocktails crafted for the season, Nine Mile Station offers indoor and outdoor seating — and that view! While you can't go wrong ordering a Mezcal Mule, or one of the many other special cocktails, for the less daring drinker Nine Mile Station also offers a long list of craft beers.
Starting June 1, Ponce City Market will start hosting “21+ Summer Camp Themed Weekends.” Every Friday and Saturday evening through August 11, The Roof will transform into an adult-themed summer camp. Kids at heart will get to experience adult versions of camp classics high above the city. “Campers” will enjoy delicious camp-inspired cuisine and cocktails, including games and ghost stories around a campfire. Campers will have opportunities to win prizes, kick back in Boy Scout-style tents and capture amusing Instagram moments with an array of photo ops. Expect collaborations with Mountain High Outfitters, including contest giveaway prizes.
In addition, one Sunday each month during the summer will have a dedicated “Sunday for Kids” camp theme, with face painters, balloon artists, arts and crafts, free three-story slide and more, between noon and 4 p.m.

string(2745) "Just off the intersection of Peachtree and Ralph McGill is an apartment building that has changed little despite all the rapid growth proliferating along the downtown corridor right beside it. Nestled between an HIV clinic and the Downtown Connector, the building has always been known for housing artists, DJs and musicians, and has managed to keep that urban quality throughout the years.
??
The building is protected from downtown's hustle and bustle by a wrought iron gate leading to a shadowy, comfortable courtyard. Its red brick walls are covered with kudzu, functioning as a reminder of nature rather than an overgrown weed. The foyer of the building also acts as a reminder of past times, with natural light blazing onto a graffiti-covered marble staircase leading to other floors. This is an apartment building for those who need a little funkiness to go with their downtown living, not a pre-fab yuppie storage facility.
??
Resident Airca Carbo, a local make-up artist, loves the place just for those reasons and she thinks it attracts other like-minded individuals.
??
How long have you lived at your place?
??
I've been here a little over a year. My friend's girl lived here back in 1990 and they would throw parties on the roof.
??
They had parties on the roof?
??
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. They'd get a DJ, some grills, and the view of downtown just made it great. It's just too bad we don't that anymore. I just love the roof. This 4th of July you could see the fireworks from everywhere: Lenox, Stone Mountain, Decatur and Centennial Park, of course. You can also listen to the acts from Music Midtown from there.
??
What's you favorite feature of your apartment?
??
It's definitely the sunroom, plus I live downtown, which is always nice.
??
Do you try to recommend the place to your friends or do you try to keep it a secret?
??
I tried to get a couple of my friends in, but they got into different situations. But it would be nice.
??
How do you like your neighbors?
??
I really enjoy them. Everyone's pretty artistic and there are a lot of dog owners. Everyone here has sort of created a dog park in the courtyard.
??
How do your friends like the place when they visit?
??
They love it. They're really surprised when they come over. Even my friends with posh high rises enjoy the place. They think the place has a character, especially with all the look alike condos everywhere. People are also surprised where it's located because it's surrounded by businesses.
??
Are people envious of your place or are you envious of the other choices downtown has to offer?
??
People really like my spot. The only thing I'm envious of is people having washer and dryers in their place.

??
They love it. They're really surprised when they come over. Even my friends with posh high rises enjoy the place. They think the place has a character, especially with all the look alike condos everywhere. People are also surprised where it's located because it's surrounded by businesses.
??
Are people envious of your place or are you envious of the other choices downtown has to offer?
??
People really like my spot. The only thing I'm envious of is people having washer and dryers in their place.

There are other people, however, who place great value in the knowledge and advice they receive from having regular appointments with psychics.
Janet Marks, a psychic who works out of her Marietta home, has been a professional psychic for nine years. In the beginning she did readings for her friends, but eventually, with encouragement from her family, she turned it into a business. Marks has a solid clientele, usually scheduling about 12 appointments a week, and people come in as often as they feel necessary depending on how much direction and advice they need.
When did you realize you were a psychic?
My mom actually noticed from a young age that I have the ability. The reason why is because this is not something that I learned to do. This is something that my mom does, something that my sisters do, something that my grandma did and also her grandma. So actually this is something that has been passed on.
What are your readings like?
I do the Tarot cards, I love Tarot cards. I do ambition hand readings and palm readings, and I also work with crystals. It's all done through a person's vibrations. This isn't something that I learned out of a book, this is something that I was born with, so it's not actually getting the meaning of the card, or looking at the card and saying, 'Well, this card means this.' I know a lot of people do it like that and I'm not judging anybody, but I feel it's more accurate if you go through the person instead of the meaning of the card.
How long do readings last?
There's no set time in my readings and I have several different types. They could take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. There is a set price, though, no matter how long it is, and that way people won't feel like I am rushing them or taking my time. I'm more comfortable with that and the customer is more comfortable with that.
Is it hard when you first meet someone to give them a reading?
Well, there are a lot of skeptical people out there and not everyone believes in this, which is understandable. When people come in that are skeptic[al], it's a little harder to read through them, but I'm able to do it. They just have to open up and give me a chance, and then I am able to show them that I have the ability to read them and to show them that it is accurate, that it is true.
Do you get a lot of clients who are referred to you by their friends?
Oh yes, word of mouth is always number one in advertisement. You could advertise in the biggest newspapers and radio and TV, but there's nothing better than clients telling their friends.
What are some advantages to working out of your home?
There are a lot of advantages, the biggest being able to stay home with my child. Another advantage is just being home and being comfortable, and also still being able to do the routine of being a housewife at the same time.
What is the best part of your job?
You get to meet a lot of people, a lot of interesting people. I am able to give people insight of their life, of their future, if they need a little guidance, a little direction in their life. I'm happy to have that ability to help, so I enjoy it.

They just have to open up and give me a chance, and then I am able to show them that I have the ability to read them and to show them that it is accurate, that it is true.
Do you get a lot of clients who are referred to you by their friends?
Oh yes, word of mouth is always number one in advertisement. You could advertise in the biggest newspapers and radio and TV, but there's nothing better than clients telling their friends.
What are some advantages to working out of your home?
There are a lot of advantages, the biggest being able to stay home with my child. Another advantage is just being home and being comfortable, and also still being able to do the routine of being a housewife at the same time.
What is the best part of your job?
You get to meet a lot of people, a lot of interesting people. I am able to give people insight of their life, of their future, if they need a little guidance, a little direction in their life. I'm happy to have that ability to help, so I enjoy it.

string(3611) "Mike and Caroline Dufano are a couple who pay attention to details. Their Victorian home, created from unearthed 1890 design plans from architect George F. Barber, is a highlight on this year's Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes. In preparation for its first public viewing, the home has been decorated with five Christmas trees, white poinsettia laurels and, of course, candles.
??
And while its holiday decorations are beautiful, the home has been included on the tour because of the Dufano's dedication to creating a space that is both livable and authentically Victorian. The home they've built together after nearly five years of careful research and planning includes a facade from an original Barber design and a paint scheme from color specialist Bob Buckner, antique and reproduction Victorian furniture, hand-printed wallpaper that the couple helped design, a fully functional clawfoot bathtub from 1905 and room for the couple's four cats to roam.
??
When and where did you begin cultivating ideas for the home?
??
Mike: When Caroline and I were first dating I bought her a book on Victorian homes called America's Painted Ladies by Elizabeth Pomada. We both thought they were really interesting, and Caroline loved the homes with round towers. We set out to design our own. During our research we came across a book called Cottage Souvenir No. 2. Through this book we became interested in the designs of George F. Barber, which led us to a floor plan that would work really well with our lot, which is long and narrow.
??
What changes did you make to the original floor plan?
??
Mike: The only significant changes we've made are including more bathrooms and opening the space in the witch's hat at the top of the tower. The original floor plan called for only one bathroom, any more by 1890 standards would have been a luxury. We opened up the space in the witch's hat to create a really beautiful and more dramatic space.
??
Many aspects of the home were designed and created personally. What were some of the things you created yourselves?
??
Mike: I have a workshop in the basement where we work on many of our projects. Many of the wooden cutouts for the banister and the front porch were made there. We also designed and created many of the light fixtures in the house. The designs on the gasolier in the foyer were created to match with the wallpaper. It is designed to run on electricity as well as gas, which is what a Victorian home would have had. As an electrical engineer, the wiring was the easy part, but I took a class to properly design and create the other parts. Caroline hand painted and primed the 4,000 shingles on the outside of the home.
??
Caroline: I had to paint both the front and back to reduce any wear and tear, but it was actually easier to do both sides.
??
What future projects do you have planned for the home?
??
Mike: Our most recent project was the wrought iron fence around the property and the moongate on the porch. We eventually plan to finish sections of the porch that have not been completed. We hope to create a coffered ceiling in the library and eventually a tin ceiling in the kitchen.
??
The art in the home is very interesting. Have you collected it over the years?
??
Caroline: The cross-stitchings were created by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Around the house I've included old photographs of family members. We also had portraits created of ourselves in Victorian style.
??
Mike: The Victorian style clothes were invented by the artist, I was actually wearing a T-shirt when it was painted.

The original floor plan called for only one bathroom, any more by 1890 standards would have been a luxury. We opened up the space in the witch's hat to create a really beautiful and more dramatic space.
??
Many aspects of the home were designed and created personally. What were some of the things you created yourselves?
??
Mike: I have a workshop in the basement where we work on many of our projects. Many of the wooden cutouts for the banister and the front porch were made there. We also designed and created many of the light fixtures in the house. The designs on the gasolier in the foyer were created to match with the wallpaper. It is designed to run on electricity as well as gas, which is what a Victorian home would have had. As an electrical engineer, the wiring was the easy part, but I took a class to properly design and create the other parts. Caroline hand painted and primed the 4,000 shingles on the outside of the home.
??
Caroline: I had to paint both the front and back to reduce any wear and tear, but it was actually easier to do both sides.
??
What future projects do you have planned for the home?
??
Mike: Our most recent project was the wrought iron fence around the property and the moongate on the porch. We eventually plan to finish sections of the porch that have not been completed. We hope to create a coffered ceiling in the library and eventually a tin ceiling in the kitchen.
??
The art in the home is very interesting. Have you collected it over the years?
??
Caroline: The cross-stitchings were created by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Around the house I've included old photographs of family members. We also had portraits created of ourselves in Victorian style.
??
Mike: The Victorian style clothes were invented by the artist, I was actually wearing a T-shirt when it was painted.

string(3932) " Grant Park home brings vintage architecture to the modern world 2005-12-07T05:04:00+00:00 Talk of the Town - Something old, something new December 07 2005 Casey McIntyre 2005-12-07T05:04:00+00:00 Mike and Caroline Dufano are a couple who pay attention to details. Their Victorian home, created from unearthed 1890 design plans from architect George F. Barber, is a highlight on this year's Grant Park Candlelight Tour of Homes. In preparation for its first public viewing, the home has been decorated with five Christmas trees, white poinsettia laurels and, of course, candles.
??
And while its holiday decorations are beautiful, the home has been included on the tour because of the Dufano's dedication to creating a space that is both livable and authentically Victorian. The home they've built together after nearly five years of careful research and planning includes a facade from an original Barber design and a paint scheme from color specialist Bob Buckner, antique and reproduction Victorian furniture, hand-printed wallpaper that the couple helped design, a fully functional clawfoot bathtub from 1905 and room for the couple's four cats to roam.
??
When and where did you begin cultivating ideas for the home?
??
Mike: When Caroline and I were first dating I bought her a book on Victorian homes called America's Painted Ladies by Elizabeth Pomada. We both thought they were really interesting, and Caroline loved the homes with round towers. We set out to design our own. During our research we came across a book called Cottage Souvenir No. 2. Through this book we became interested in the designs of George F. Barber, which led us to a floor plan that would work really well with our lot, which is long and narrow.
??
What changes did you make to the original floor plan?
??
Mike: The only significant changes we've made are including more bathrooms and opening the space in the witch's hat at the top of the tower. The original floor plan called for only one bathroom, any more by 1890 standards would have been a luxury. We opened up the space in the witch's hat to create a really beautiful and more dramatic space.
??
Many aspects of the home were designed and created personally. What were some of the things you created yourselves?
??
Mike: I have a workshop in the basement where we work on many of our projects. Many of the wooden cutouts for the banister and the front porch were made there. We also designed and created many of the light fixtures in the house. The designs on the gasolier in the foyer were created to match with the wallpaper. It is designed to run on electricity as well as gas, which is what a Victorian home would have had. As an electrical engineer, the wiring was the easy part, but I took a class to properly design and create the other parts. Caroline hand painted and primed the 4,000 shingles on the outside of the home.
??

After all, as an installation artist (she creates site-specific art), her mind has been trained to think big, and from the get-go, she had a vision of what the house could be.
??
Whittington obtained an undergraduate degree in sculpture from Kansas City Art Institute, and a master's from Temple University's Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. She moved to Atlanta in 1999 and built her home from almost nothing, adding two pre-fabricated structures to serve as studios. There is never a dull moment at home, Whittington says, with the house almost consistently under some kind of renovation, and full of numerous dogs and cats, large and heavy machinery, and her roommate, Christine.
??
What did this house look like before you moved in?
??
There was no kitchen, the ceiling was falling in, and the floors were a complete mess. There was no toilet, no plumbing, and no electricity. Structurally it was sound, so I renovated the whole place.
??
Why did you choose this neighborhood and house?
??
I got a great deal on this house, and it is on two lots, so I knew there would be room to build and still have space. Also, I like this area, because you almost feel like you are in the country with all the trees, woods and creeks around, but it is only 10 minutes from downtown.
??
How did you decide to become an artist?
??
My father was an electrical engineer, and my mother was a self-taught painter. Both of them always encouraged my siblings and I to be creative — we were always making our own forts and games, and anything else we could come up with.
??
What kind of art do you like to create?
??
I like to create what I want and what inspires me. Mostly things that relate to or revolve around the action of the body, as well as the environment and the basic elements of nature. Most of what I make is modular, meaning that I create it piece by piece and have a vision of what it is going to look like.
??
Where did all the heavy machinery come from?
??
When I started doing renovation work, I started acquiring things like a table saw, hand saws, drill presses, a chip saw, and more. And all of it I use on both renovating and my work.
??
Why did you choose to have your studio at home?
??
Oh, I can't imagine it any other way. I don't know how people have a studio away from home. I think it would be so difficult to come home from work, eat, then go off to another location. My studio has always been at home, and I feel really fortunate to have it that way.

There was no kitchen, the ceiling was falling in, and the floors were a complete mess. There was no toilet, no plumbing, and no electricity. Structurally it was sound, so I renovated the whole place.
??
Why did you choose this neighborhood and house?
??
I got a great deal on this house, and it is on two lots, so I knew there would be room to build and still have space. Also, I like this area, because you almost feel like you are in the country with all the trees, woods and creeks around, but it is only 10 minutes from downtown.
??
How did you decide to become an artist?
??
My father was an electrical engineer, and my mother was a self-taught painter. Both of them always encouraged my siblings and I to be creative -- we were always making our own forts and games, and anything else we could come up with.
??
What kind of art do you like to create?
??
I like to create what I want and what inspires me. Mostly things that relate to or revolve around the action of the body, as well as the environment and the basic elements of nature. Most of what I make is modular, meaning that I create it piece by piece and have a vision of what it is going to look like.
??
Where did all the heavy machinery come from?
??
When I started doing renovation work, I started acquiring things like a table saw, hand saws, drill presses, a chip saw, and more. And all of it I use on both renovating and my work.
??
Why did you choose to have your studio at home?
??
Oh, I can't imagine it any other way. I don't know how people have a studio away from home. I think it would be so difficult to come home from work, eat, then go off to another location. My studio has always been at home, and I feel really fortunate to have it that way.

string(2967) " Martha Whittington turns big visions into big realities 2005-11-30T05:04:00+00:00 Talk of the Town - Living large November 30 2005 Erin Haber 2005-11-30T05:04:00+00:00 For anyone who knows her, it's really no surprise that Martha Whittington bought her Boulevard Heights house after it had been unoccupied for seven years and condemned. After all, as an installation artist (she creates site-specific art), her mind has been trained to think big, and from the get-go, she had a vision of what the house could be.
??
Whittington obtained an undergraduate degree in sculpture from Kansas City Art Institute, and a master's from Temple University's Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. She moved to Atlanta in 1999 and built her home from almost nothing, adding two pre-fabricated structures to serve as studios. There is never a dull moment at home, Whittington says, with the house almost consistently under some kind of renovation, and full of numerous dogs and cats, large and heavy machinery, and her roommate, Christine.
??

There was no kitchen, the ceiling was falling in, and the floors were a complete mess. There was no toilet, no plumbing, and no electricity. Structurally it was sound, so I renovated the whole place.
