Team
In Training Fundraiser @ Gordon Biersch
MON AUG 26 6:30p
"What better reason to start the week with a happy hour
and at the same time you'll be supporting a great cause. I
am a part of the Team N Training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society, I have committed myself to raise money in order for
me to be able to sponsor a child and at the same time compete
in an Olympic Triathlon. This cause is very important to me
due to a personal loss I had and I believe the sooner we find
a cure for this disease the better off we'll all be.
In order to make this fundraiser successful, I will be asking
for a $10 donation, which includes appetizers and your first
drink. Also, we will have a silent auction and a raffle including
prizes such as a trip with the Discover Pilot Tours, excellent
Braves tickets, and gift certificates to various restaurants.
Please come and join me at this fundraiser with the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society Team In Training and make a difference
in a child's life!! If you have any questions - please contact
me - Henrik Hanson - at 404 229 1590."

DAVID
DUNNING TO PLAY ALL AGES SHOW AT HARD ROCK WITH
MCA RECORDING ARTIST, ATTICUS FAULT
WHERE: Hard Rock - 125 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta
DOORS: 7:30pm
TIME: 8:30pm
COST: $7/21+ and $10/under 21
AGES: All Ages Welcome
David Dunning will open for MCA recording artist, Atticus
Fault on Sunday, July 14 for a special all ages performance
at the Hard Rock in Atlanta. Dunning's guitar-driven mix of
pop and rock is the perfect compliment to Atticus Fault's
airy melodies and masterful arrangements. Dunning, with acoustic
guitar in hand, is backed by Aron Robinson on drums, T.J.
Stone on lead guitar/vocals, Scott Fedewa on guitar/vocals
and Scott Bannevich (Edwin McCain) on bass. The band's diverse
backgrounds and musical tastes add a swaggering edginess to
Dunning's storytelling lyrics and catchy hooks. Solid performers
as well as musicians, Dunning and his band share a sense of
camaraderie among themselves and with the audience, creating
a rare chemistry that translates to their overall sound. "We
bring so many different influences to the table and as a band
we are definitely greater than the sum of our parts,"
says Dunning.

First Thursdays - downtownATL Arts
Walk
THU, SEPT 5 5p
This is the perfect time to experience art inside and out.
This month we invite you to stroll with us through magnificent
buildings and streets to enjoy the beauty of our city and
the art created by our neighbors. Over the past months
First Thursdays has continued to grow with new programs and
additional venues so that art lovers can view the arts, tour
the historic districts of downtown and enjoy various discounts
at downtown restaurants.
Come take a walk with us the First Thursday of each month,
from 5-9 p.m.
With
its growth, First Thursdays has become more than just an arts
walk. It is an event where singles can meet, business
people can unwind, and couples can enjoy the beauty of downtown’s
landscape. And all these are accomplished while taking
in the culture that the arts offer. To put it simply,
no two trips could ever be the same. Validated parking is
available at the SunTrust Plaza Galleries and the APEX museum,
call museums for details.
