WOW! The May Calender of Events is packed to say the least! I’m a member of AAA (American Automobile Association) and each month they put out a magazine called Going Places. In it is a calendar of events of happenings in the Atlanta and surrounding areas. There is some pretty interesting things to do, and wanted to share them with you!
May 4-5 Music Of Motown — Featuring Spectrum — Atlanta Symphony Hall at Woodruff Arts Center www.atlantasymphony.org
Recall the glory days of the Motown label, which is where the Supremes, Temptations, Four Tops and many others called home!

Southern BBQ is what it’s all about…and let’s throw in some arts, crafts and BBQ vendors to boot!

Fine Food, wine tasting (ya think I’ll be there?) and a joyous Italian festival with performances

May 12-13 Mother’s Day Arts and Crafts Show Brasstown Valley Resort, Young Harris, GA www.brasstownvalley.com
Well this one will get you a nice ride to the mountains, check out some mountain vistas and then the pottery, jewelry, fused glass and other items in this juried show! Maybe catch brunch at the resort, but I’d get those reservations NOW!
May 22- June 10 Jersey Boys Fox Theatre, Atlanta www.foxtheatre.org
This Broadway smash hit tells the story of four blue-collar kids that made pop music history. Selling over175 million records before they were 30, see the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
May 26 Bavarianfest Festhall, Helen www.helenchamber.com
If it’s Bavarian, it will be at the Bavarianfest in Helen this weekend. From sauerkraut to pretzels! And probably one heck of alot of people!

Traditions are a wonderful thing in life. Be they certain holiday decorations, or an annual family gathering, or……The 76th Annual Atlanta Dogwood Festival!
As the number 76 implies, this Atlanta Festival has been a mainstay in the festival “circuit” as you will. It usually announces the arrival of Spring in Atlanta, although this year Mother Nature has one-uped the Festival as our trees are fully leafed out…and the temperature’s play with the 80’s already in late March. But, the weekend of of April 20-22, 2012 will see some 200,000 people parade through Midtown Atlanta’s Backyard….Piedmont Park.
The Atlanta Dogwood Festival website still has the 2011 Map on it, so while we have included it here as a reference, it might be wise to check again if you are looking for something in particular. However, the Piedmont Park Conservancy, the organization charged with running and maintaining the park has pretty strict guidelines on what can be where, so you can be pretty safe in knowing the Food Vendors will be where the Food Vendors have been, and the concert will be where the concert has been. Speaking of concerts….Roberta Flack!!! FREE! Awesome!
Speaking of Food Vendors, if you long for a bit more of “sit down, people watch and have a drink” kind of lunch, there are three very close options to the Park itself. The Nook is located at the 14th Street Entrance. At the 12th Street Entrance, you’ll find Willy’s and The Parq. All 3 offer patio dining to take in the sights, sounds and the weather. But if you head further into Midtown Atlanta you’ll find my favorite home away from home, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant on Peachtree, between 6th and 7th Streets.
I have to say, I’ve never purchased any art at the festival. Not for not wanting to, but usually my wallet seemed to have an empty spot where the cash should be. But I always get great ideas for “someday….” Hopefully, you will find that special piece of art or painting or drawing you’ve been looking for to put on the wall or display in your Midtown Atlanta condo….or where ever you may live.

It seems like it HAS been a long time since the Midtown Social Club held and event. This group was first formed by residents of several Midtown Atlanta condo buildings. It quickly took off, and the club was in demand, if you will, buy Midtown restaurants to host this event.
I’m certainly looking forward to the event and hope to see you there as well!
You now what they say…you cant keep a good hoedown….well never mind that! But some good seafood boil…now we are talking!
TOMORROW….join your friends and neighbors at The Nook on Piedmont Park for their 3rd Annual Seafood Boil and Hoedown! Things get under way at 12noon and go till 8pm…or the food is gone! (of course there will be an afterparty to keep you going!)
With beer and drink specials, what more can you ask for!
Parking can be a challenge at The Nook, but there is parking available in the parking garage at 13th and Juniper, just a short 2 block walk. Now, drink and drive responsibily, and if you think you might have to much fun, please have a designated driver, or take MARTA, a cab, or hey, if you live in Midtown Atlanta, you can just foot power it on over!
