We hit the festival, armed with a video camera
We couldn't have been more excited about the return of Music Midtown after five years. It was a perfect day, talking to and checking out awesome bands, seeing how Atlantans were feeling about the return of this great festival, and catching some wild dancers in action. Take a look at our exclusive footage...

See what this weekend's festivities at Der Biergarten are all about
It's fitting that Der Biergarten, Atlanta's only authentic German restaurant and bar, would host what is sure to be the biggest and best Oktoberfest celebration the city has seen: Munich on Marietta Street. We stopped into the Luckie Marietta District hot spot to get the scoop on this weekend's festivities, from the beers (in large quantities), rotisserie pork shank (forget about your diet), and all the other shenanigans that are going down. Take a look! Munich on Marietta Street is this Saturday, Sept. 17 from noon-midnight and Sunday, Sept. 18 from noon-9 p.m., and will take place every weekend through Oct. 30. Visit derbiergarten.com for more info.

Co-founder Kirsten Palladino fills us in on the new event
This Sunday will mark something special and new for Atlanta. Equally Wed, a national online same-sex wedding magazine, will host Equally Wed's Love is Love Wedding Show—a free, intimate showcase of the city’s best gay-friendly wedding vendors at the W-Atlanta Midtown. We caught up with Kirsten Palladino, co-founder of the magazine and the Wedding Show (along with her wife, Maria), to chat about the inaugural event. And we couldn't help dip into her personal life a little bit, too. First of all, give us the scoop on your recent nuptials in NYC! We had a gorgeous wedding in Decatur in June 2009, and that was extremely fulfilling. At that point, I, along with our friends, family and general society, considered ourselves married, despite not …

We found out what goes on behind closed (bus) doors
If you ran the Peachtree Road Race or even spectated in the vicinity of the Peachtree/Spring Street intersection, you couldn't ignore the Fur Bus Tailgate. The crazy, costumed folks behind the city's favorite party buses throw down like no other for the Fourth of July, and this year we had to see what it was all about...behind the scenes. And they actually let us.
