* Disclaimer of a slacker blogger: So upon researching Oktoberfest ideas for Atlanta, I found out that most of them occured over the weekend of late Sept. or mid Oct. However, probably the most notorious of them all and the greatest one of them all resides in Helen, GA..

Helen, GA: The little German town in North Georgia. During the day, you can browse their shops - You’ll def. want to check out the candy shops where you can get candy apples coated in lots of different assortments.. I think I remember seeing nerds as a coating once. Drink at the beer gardens, eat some sausage. By night the town heads over to Helen’s massive Festhalle. Dancing polka and lots of beer drinking..

Like a nice Oktoberfest beer — read on… (more…)

I remember watching the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch in the UGA Student Center movie theater. I don’t remember it being particulary busy - but I do remember my friend Will singing along, out loud, with pretty much every song.

I listened to that sound track alot in college - it’s great music. I can’t recall the details of this movie, but I liked the whole thing - mostly the music..

So if you’ve seen the movie or not, I think what might be even better is to see it LIVE at Actor’s Express performance of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.. (more…)
