Weekend Rundown

There are tons of worthy events going on all weekend! Check out my picks for the Weekend Rundown:

*thursday*

Charity Date Auction @ Tongue & Groove

The LLS Date Auction was started in 2011 by Cromwell Baun and Merrill Beckwith. Cromwell was nominated for Man of the Year and was given the challenge to raise $50,000 in TEN WEEKS!!!! We came up with the idea to have a date auction to raise money for Cromwell’s campaign and help him meet his $50,000 goal. We had men and women contestants, and we auctioned each of them off with a great date package. The event was a HUGE success and we raised more money than we ever expected!!

Due to the success of last year’s date auction, we were asked if we would be doing it again next year. As a result of all the requests for us to host the event again, we decided to make this event an annual event. All the money raised from this event will be donated to the 2012 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the Year fundraiser. The details for this year’s event are:

Date: Thursday, May 10, 2012
Time: 7 P.M. till 10 P.M. or until the last date is sold
Place: Tongue and Groove
565 Main Street NE
Atlanta, GA 30324

Two Must Attend Events This Week

It’s In Your Genes Fashion Show

“It’s in Your Genes,” sponsored by the Atlanta Jewish Gene Screen, is a denim fashion show featuring new looks from Atlanta’s most stylish jeans boutiques. Tickets for the event include an open beer and wine bar (for those 21 and older) and hors d’oeuvres, as well as a spectacular fashion event, DJ and dancing.

I am so excited be attending this event with my friend Emily Lipman, whose boutique, Raw Denim, is showcasing in the fashion show.

What do two fifty-four foot helicopters, thirty catering companies, dozens of performers and three football fields worth of film sets have in common?  The Next Cool Event would be the answer.

The press has been alerted, it is official The Next Cool Thing is coming back in 2012! The Next Cool Event, a spectacular display of the talented film industry professionals has tripled in size and will taking over the Atlanta Exposition Center (Three football fields) February 17 & 18, 2012.

In 2011 founder and producer, Barbara English, launched The Next Cool Thing in hopes to show film industry decision makers that everything they need for a first class production is right here in Georgia.

*picture courtesy of cbrownphoto.com

The event was a bigger sensation than anyone could have ever imagined.  Film makers, celebrities, executives, hipsters, trendsetters and socialites filled the westside warehouse to check out what was really behind the curtains of the Georgia Film Industry. The event had my vote as I walked the red carpet and strolled onto the set of  Sex and The City and then hopped on over to the seductive James Bond set and then through the trenches of Star Wars. The event was dotted with the upper cusp of Atlanta’s social buzzers and even a celebrity or two (Tyler Perry strolled the event incognito). My favorite sets were Six Feet Under, James Bond, Sex and The City and Black Swan.

What to expect this year: 

Three football fields of designer sets themed as iconic movies and television shows. Delicious food from over 30 of Atlanta’s best caterers. Surprises around every corner including non-stop performances through out the entire weekend.

2012 Events

Friday February 17, 2012: Red Carpet Cocktails will kick off the weekend of festivities from 7:00pm-11:00pm. Click Here to get your tickets.

Saturday February 18, 2012: VIP Gala from 7:00pm-12:00am. Click Here to get your tickets.(I got mine)

 The VIP Gala will have a lot of amazing perks but my favorite perk is that Hope Sonam will be performing 2-3 songs at 8:00pm in the Recording Academy Suite which will feature a 36×16 stage and a VIP lounge. Be sure not to miss her show stopping performance.

why

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and young adults in the United States.
CF causes the body to produce an abnormally thick mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. This mucus also obstructs the pancreas and interferes with digestion.
The median life expectancy for a CF patient is 37 years.

Tequila Avion Tasting
Tuesday May 10, 2011, 7:00pm-9:00pm
Prohibition

Tequila Aviõn is handcrafted using only the finest Blue Weber Agave found in the very highest regions of Jalisco.

The Agave grown at this altitude are among the most coveted plants for tequila production due to the region’s topography and its soil’s rich mineral content which lends a distinct quality and character to the spirit. The secret behind the exceptionally smooth taste profile of Tequila Aviõn begins with slow roasting t…he agave in traditional brick ovens followed by our unique small batch distillation process and culminates with a proprietary filtering method coined ‘ultra slow filtration’ during which the robust flavors become firmly set to the Tequila Avion Master Distiller’s specifications at an exact moment in time. We call this the “moment of elevation”.

Learn about the world famous Tequila Avion through a presentation by representative Julian Barowsky. You will indulge in the tasting of Silver, Reposado and Anejo and enjoy Prohibition’s signature appetizers.

$19 per person. RSVP is appreciated- events@prohibitionatl.com
