An Evening With Kevin Smith

4th Show added 10:15pm on Monday, August 10th. From Clerks, Mall Rats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, director, writer, and actor Kevin Smith is coming to the Atlanta Improve for a special engagement and intimate setting with the actor. Shows are selling out fast, Sunday is sold out so a 4th show has been added on Monday, August 10th at 10:15pm. Tickets are $35 plus fees. What a small price to get a picture and possibly snoochie boochies written on a Bluntman and Chronic comic. It could happen…

SUNSET SESSIONS ANNOUNCES FINALE HEADLINER FOR WEEKLY LIVE MUSIC SERIES AT PARK TAVERN: THE JOY FORMIDABLE

Sunset Session Finale at Park Tavern with The Joy Formidable on Sunday, September 6th. How do you close out Atlanta’s best free concert series in years? Book The Joy Formidable and send a message to the rest of the country- sometimes the old adage “you get what you pay for,” just doesn’t mean sh#t. Creating national buzz off of 2011’s The Big Roar and 2013’s Wolf’s Law, this will probably be the last chance you ever get to see this band in this intimate of a setting, for nothing. Be one of those kids that can say “I was there!”

ATLANTA WINE PARTY – SUMMER EDITION

The steam rises from the freshly dampened pavement and the air was stagnant like a thick layer of mist billowing into the early evening sky. Late July in Atlanta can be volatile to the elements, hot, sticky, smoldering, stifling, yet oddly alluring, oh who am I kidding; it’s time to head back inside until fall braces us with its cooling presence. It’s also a good time for a crisp, cold white wine with several hundred of our closest friends. Enter, Atlanta Wine Party Summer Edition. It made for a fabulous event, full of short skirts, short lines, fine wines and evening in the air conditioning far away from the hot July Georgia heat
