I’m damn interested because I never knew or believed something like this would exist. Either way, I’m going to contact this guy tonight and see if he will do a test haiku for buddyfeed geared toward our readers. I’ll keep you updated.

After a jaunt around the Inman Park Festival, you probably will need a few beers to wash down all that savory family fun and we have just the place to do that, Inmanpalooza.  Inmanpalooza is basically a block party that has occured over the last five years on the same weekend as the Inman Park Festival.  The festival is rich with bands, Sweetwater beer and BBQ and in years past has been a raucous event.  I’m sure it will probably be bigger and just as fun as years past, so stop on by the event runs from 3pm to 9pm in Inman Park.

One thing that I love about Atlanta during the springtime is the sheer amount of outdoor festivals that are planned for each weekend.  We’ve already had the Dogwood festival and noew this weekend in Inman Park, we have the Inman Park Festival.  The festival is more focused around familys then you getting drunk but they will have bands, a tour of homes, refreshments, an art festival, and more.   If it’s nice, expect a lot of people an absolutely no parking.

Here is the schedule of events that will be occuring all weekend.

In this segment of “Songs containing Atlanta,” we go back to the 80’s and Hall and Oates. They celebrate our fine city by singing about a man who just wants to find his way out. And I quote, ” Oh camellia won’t you take me away to paradise tropical moon, don’t you leave me sitting here in atlanta.” Enjoy

If you go to the creative loafing’s website today, you will find two of the more awkward photos of individuals on the front page. One looks like he is being tickled and he other one looks like he’s most likely constipated.  Obviously, I can’t imagine these two pictures were chosen by the individuals. Enjoy the photos below.

The Boss is cruising back through Atlanta this week with the E street band for what is always guaranteed to be a quality show.  Unfortunately at this point, the good tickets will be gone but you can still grab some in the upper deck or scalp some because there are always scalpers with good tickets for a show of this size.  For those who do buy the upper deck tickets, you may have the opportunity to get to the front row if your willing to camp outside the show starting early the day of the show.  At past shows in Atlanta, fans who where waiting outside have been given wristbands to go to the front of the stage no matter what tickets they have bought.  I’m not sure if this is the same for Friday’s show, but give it a try if you are willing to do some squatting outside Philips Arena for a few hours.

Tonight the international business/political weekly magazine, the Economist, is putting on a show celebrating the “Art of Satire” with the help of the talents of Chicago’s Second City Improv troupe and their own political cartoonist, Kal Kallaugher. The show will include political skits from Second City as well as a “how to” on political cartooning from Kal, which will include how to draw George W. Bush. This is definitely an interesting one night event and displays The Economist’s hope of becoming the hippest magazine that writes about such juicy subjects as the international impact of inflation of the Ghana Cedi.

Closed for the over three years now, the location formally known as the Echo Lounge is poised to be re-opening this summer as the East Atlanta Icehouse.  Before it closed, the location had been an amazing venue for medium to small shows and its reopening would be an excellent addition back into the Atlanta music scene.  Their website is currently forwarding to a MySpace page that has a flyer for a show at the Icehouse on May 18th, so their opening much eminent.
