Dear internet,
Let me just brag a little about how freakin' wonderful my city is. For the past 2 nights, I've had the most amazingly fun time doing Atlanta summertime events. Thursday night, some friends and I took a blanket, wine/beer, and a picnic to Piedmont Park for Screen on the Green to watch Grease. It was like Woodstock - people were everywhere...thousands of them! Some people dressed up, others tried to undress because it was so hot, humid, and sticky. But a good time was had by all. I mean, how much more fun could you ask for while drinking and watching that movie outside along with thousands of people singing along to the songs!? I think people in Texas probably heard us when we all busted out, "You're the One That I Want."
Last night, I scored 4 free last minute tickets and 2 parking passes to a concert at Chastain Amphitheater. It's one of our outdoor amphitheaters that has THE BEST atmosphere. The seating is made out of flagstone and the concert venue is surrounded by trees. People bring picnics, wine, flowers, and candles to see concerts there, and it's just so much fun. Anyway, the concert last night was to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (swing/jazz/big band type music - think "Zoot Suite Riot") with back-up music by our Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with a grand finale of fireworks for the 4th of July celebration. Oh My God. It rocked! Our seats were incredible, the band was so much fun, and the wine was flowing! There was even an impromptu conga line that broke out; however, it came to an abrupt end when the guy that was unknowingly "leading the line" made it up to the bathroom. Turns out he was heading up there with his girlfriend hanging onto his hips behind him when everyone joined in. That was hilarious!
Finally - the fireworks. I heart fireworks SO much! I love everything about them except when they end. I love the colors and the textures and the sound! It's just so exiting. There's even something somewhat romantic about them. The display last night was great!
So have I made any of you jealous yet? Well you should be. If not, I haven't done my description justice because I've had the most amazing weekend so far. And now, I'm off to the pool to enjoy the sun. If you want to visit, you can stay with me. If you decide you want to move here, you can put in your application. However, let me forwarn married men and girls, while we'd love to have you visit, any application to move here will be denied. We've got enough of your kind here, which was painstakingly obvious in going to these past 2 events.
Y'all come down now, ya here?

Dear Single Cute Guys at the Taco Stand (a local bar/restaurant good for happy hours),
Yes, we noticed you staring at us when we walked in. In fact, I think a local patron had to help you find one of your eyes that may have popped out of your head. So, why you decided not to join us at the concert is beyond me. Do you know how much courage it took us to go over and give you our 2 extra tickets and parking pass to invite you to come with us? I NEVER do things like that. But in my attempt to take my social life into my own hands, I mustered the courage. And while you seemed genuinely excited about going, my friend and I were less then excited to show up at the concert to find that you gave the tickets to some guy and his nurse girlfriend that talked FAR too much (figures - I've found that all nurses and teachers have boyfriends). Listen, we weren't looking for a lifetime with you. We just wanted to flirt a little and get to know you better (and then maybe make-out a little after having a few glasses of wine at the concert - ha!). But no. What is wrong with you? All I have to say is that was dumb. Very dumb. I guess the only consolation we have is knowing that we made your night. I mean, how often do you have cute girls inviting you out? That and we'll forever live in your memory and stories described as a "supermodel and porn star" because you know the tale that you'll tell your buddies will be bigger and better then the reality.
Your loss,
Kara
Dear Atlanta City Council,
While I love this city as my hometown, I'm increasingly disappointed in the lack of single men and furthermore, the quality of the single men that are here (please reference my above letters). Instead of addressing economic factors, unemployment, infrastructure, and traffic, might I suggest that you divert your efforts towards a marketing push to attract more single men to our city instead? I bet if you put that on your agenda ballot, you'll be suprised with the number of votes it gets.
That's my 2 cents, one of which is the penny I've been hanging hope on.
My advice is free and you can thank me later,
Kara

Sounds like you had a great time. Maybe that guy lost a contact and that caused his eyes to bulg. Definitely his loss.
Diane & I are ready to head on down...we love a good time.
Wow... I wish the same thing, except for single *women*. Of course, I live in a small town where everyone's psycho. I have to get out!
So I have a question...
You are from Georgia, and a mighty fine peach you are, but you like Alabama Football? Isn't that sacrilige?
::shakes head::
I almost got beat up in Columbus for wearing a University of Utah (Go Utes!) football shirt - let alone Alabama...
:-P
OK, OK, OK. I am single, seem to go to many of the same events you enjoy going to, live 30-40 miutes out of Atl, and want to meet a new girl. Not meet a girl and marry her, just meet a girl thats new and enjoys a good time out on the city, you seem to be perfect. I will be at the July 4th Braves game against the Cubs, you should go the tickets are cheap and they are doing a fireworks show after the game (I think). How will we meet at the game yu ask? Well my AIM screen name is BradHit4, shoot me an IM some time tonight or Sunday and I will reply with a "howdy, nice to meet ya, here is my number" sort of reply. We will then most likely chat for a little and then meet at the game. If my simple plan is no good for you, let me know a better day/night and we shal show this city what fun is. ::wink wink::
Oh, yea...the Bamma thing. Well you seem to be cool enough for me to let that little blemish on your perfection slide.
Rama Jama ALLLLLLAAAAABAMMMMMMAAAAAA, hit'em with the yella hamma!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL TIDE ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!.....umm errrr or something like that.
Well one good thing is since you NEVER do that, never approach men that is, at least now you have some idea of how hard it is for most men to approach women (I said most). Think back to how you said you were nervous and apprehensive and maybe that will help you understand why a lot of men don't approach women. They need someone to introduce them, to break the ice sort of thing. But I think it was a REALLY great thing you did. I still believe the guys were there waiting to meet someone or were a couple of married guys just shooting the shit drinking a beer together or were a couple. Hey it could happen even though they were gay they could have been checking you out going "OMG! Look at those shoes!!! I wonder where she got them!"
As far as Alabama, I still like my cheer the best and for those that don't remember it goes:
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Just a scientific survey here, nothing more. But who's the porn star, and who's the supermodel?
Sassafrass - you and Diane come on down!
Byrdnest - I feel the same way, but I love Atlanta too much to actually move. Thanks for stopping by!
Jeremy - When you're cute, you can get away with a lot. Like being a Bama fan in Georgia.
Marshal - thanks, you're sweet. Have fun at the Braves game.
David - Hush! LSWHO?
KOM - I'd probably be the one described as the porn star for obvious reasons (ie. I was the one with bigger boobs).
