The weekend kicks off TONIGHT with Wednesday
Night Wind Down in Centennial Olympic Park featuring Euge
Groove. Then head on over to this month's edition of Wednesday
Night Drinking Club. The WNDC crew is bringing the party
DOWNTOWN to the Abbey. A great venue for a large scale shindig
- don't miss it!
Then, on Thursday night, Patroski brings his Square
Hatted crew down to the Carter Center for a pre-4th of
July celebration that includes a viewing of the Declaration
of Independence Exhibit. The exhibit leaves Atlanta on July
5th. What a GREAT opportunity to view a piece of Americana
and skip the traditional bar scene for a night!

Wednesday
Night Drinking Club @ The Abbey
WED, JUN 26 7p
It has recently been brought to our attention that THE MANSION
no longer meets the rigorous WNDC standards of excellence
in party venues. Though many of you have graciously
pointed out that you would have been way too drunk to mind
(or even notice) the lack of air conditioning on a summer
night in an old house with a thousand or so of your sweatiest
friends , we've opted to host this week's debacle at THE ABBEY
(fully air conditioned & across the street from The Mansion),
instead.
First round is on the house for the first 500 people.
Cover: $5**
HOSTS: Nathan Abbott, Brook Heaps, Mike Shady, Andrew Graves,
Debbie Fertitta, Brittin Heaps, Nicole Parsons, Ben Levy,
Patroski Lawsons, Mary Heather Hanley

Square Hat Cocktail Party @ The Carter Center
THU, JUN 27 6:30p
The next Square Hat Cocktail Party will be at the Carter Center
Library on June 27th from 6:30-9:30 PM. The charity partner
is St Jude's Children's Hospital. This PRE-JULY 4TH
Event will coincide with the Declaration of Independence Exhibit
there. The exhibit leaves Atlanta on July 5th. The Library
is gracious enough to let us come in and use the space and
charge us nothing. So close to July 4th, the nation and city
will be focusing on liberty, etc. I am very excited about
this opportunity because it separates us from the traditional
bar scene we all lament so much.
Thanks to one of our members, Mandy Holton, Home Depot has
agreed to be a sponsor for this event. That means Some highlights:
* Home Depot will underwrite the "complimentary drink
promotion." This means that every guest gets a complimentary
drink. We'll try to provide some light appetizers as well.
* Cash Bar (beer and wine) will be available.
* Home Depot will provide a bunch of door prizes for this
event (gift cards, etc.).
* A copy of the Declaration of Independence will be on display
and other portions of the Carter Library grounds will be accessible.
This is one of the 200 original copies of the Declaration
of Independence. TV producer, director Norman Lear paid over
$8 million for this gem. There will be other items worth viewing
as well.
* Parking is Free at the Library. So, guests will be saving
a little there.
* Home Depot Public Relations may pitch this to the media,
so don't be surprised if our club receives some positive coverage.

Downtown
Rocks @ "Baker Street Park"
FRI, JUNE 28 5:30p
IF DOWNTOWN'S A-ROCKIN', PLEASE COME A-WALKIN'
We continue to bring you free live bands, playing al fresco
at Baker Street Park in downtown Atlanta for Downtown Rocks.
And we hope you continue to enjoy them. This week's lineup
features Papa Roach, Blackeyed Peas and Minamina Goodsong.
Weird Al Yankovic will not be there. The gates open up at
5:30PM and the curtain rises at 6:45PM, though there is no
curtain, technically. So it's a figure of speech.
To get to Downtown Rocks, take MARTA to the Civic Center Station,
go south two blocks on West Peachtree Place and left on Centennial
Olympic Park Drive. It's off of Simpson Street, on the right.
Look for all the people. When you see a huge bunch of people
standing around downtown Atlanta it's either a) the Olympics
or b) this thing. And the Olympics are real over. Make sure
to leave all pets, booze, bikes, chairs, backpacks, food,
cameras and coolers at home. In other words, you can't munch
on a pack full of snacks and sip an ice cold martini whilst
taking a picture of Fido riding a bike.
Gates
open at 5:30PM
Minamina Goodsong : 6:45 - 7:30 PM
Black Eyed Peas : 8:00 - 9:00 PM
