Atlanta, Georgia

Just a heads up to those who may be attending the Berry Manilow concert. Or know someone who is.

The local crew has all ready been informed to come and set the show up. However if we get an inch or more of snow. Production will get together with the promoter and building management to discuss canceling the show.

So those attending definitely want to check before heading to Philips.


Get your french toast ready

kinda OT, but im desperate....

Dear Atlantans,

While it is moderately obnoxious, and dangerous to boot, of you to refuse to turn on your headlights when it is raining, it is really, really, REALLY shitty of you to keep the same ignorant attitude when it is SNOWING. I mean, I know you are all REALLY very skilled drivers in such climates as rain, snow, sleet, and sometimes, SUN (especially those of you in your cozy tank like SUVs) but please, do the girl from NY a favour and obey the fucking laws and have some of that Southern hospitality common courtesy you're all so proud of. Because if I hit you with my car because I can't see you and you do something I can't avoid, I will gladly go to jail for getting out and pummeling you with my fists and/or other nearby objects.

Sincerely,
Tempest O'Mouthy

PS - No matter what you might be imagining, this is not REAL SNOW. You do not need to riot about in grocery stores, snatching up all the milk, bread and eggs. I PROMISE you will not be snowed in to your house for days on end. And if you are, contact me and I will personally come dig you out. Let a girl who just wants to pick up some sandwich bags and lunch items have some peace at Kroger!

Grant Park around noon...

So OF COURSE I'm supposed to drive downtown today to deliver some work to a gallery. On the one day I absolutely have to get out it pulls this bullshit.

So my question to you fine folks who have perhaps been out and about today already is this: If you had to drive from Smyrna to Little Five Points, and you could do it today OR tomorrow, which would you choose? I'm reading that we may freeze up overnight which of course means ice.

And are there any sites beyond Ga navigator and weather.com good for checking the road conditions?

BAH. I donwanna. Any couriers out there looking for a run? ;)

PS: I will be sure to leave my headlights off and talk on my cell phone the entire way, that should help.

ETA: thanks for all the advice and opinionating. Weather.com has revised their high temp estimates for tomorrow upward to 38, so we decided to take our chances tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the church-going will have mostly cleared the roads by then. ;)

For those who were asking: The Barry Manilow concert has been postponed.

I've seen a bunch today, including this snowwoman with mohawk:



Anyone else find anything interesting?

I need to get some clothes taken in....anyone know of any tailors or alterations place ITP...preferably Decatur, but I'll take what I can get.

Do any of you know of a site to post pics for lost/found pets in Atlanta, specifically the Decatur area? I took in a beautiful long furred chocolate brown cat recently that I've seen hanging out by my apartment for the past few weeks. I'm pretty sure he's either lost or abandoned, but if it's the former, I want to try to get him home again. I'll be asking around/calling local shelters and all that jazz, but if any of you know of a site online as well, I'll gladly try that option as well. Thanks in advance!
