ATL is amazing!

Hey again...

So this past weekend I decided to take in a few of the Atlanta attractions.

I went to the High Museum to see the Annie Liebovitz exhibit. All of her major photographs were there: the Demi Moore shot, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, plenty of other celebs, etc. I was almost surprised to see so many people there. I checked out the Louvre exhibit again, and found out that the next collection of art is coming in September. The Ghiberti exhibit which showcased four of the original bronze panels from the baptistry in Florence, Italy was amazing! Apparently, the panels are will only be shown at the Met in New York and at the Art Institute in Chicago. The High is really gaining so much clout in the Art world. I'm amazed with how many great collections they get every year. Every Emory student should take the opportunity to visit!

Friday night I went to one of my favorite Atlanta restaurants, Two Urban Licks, and as always had a great dinner. The restaurant itself is amazing and the food is even better. After dinner, I went see an Emory student band play at a local venue. They were pretty good and I have no doubt that they will play at a Wonderful Wednesday this year. The bands are always one of the best parts about Wonderful Wednesday. It's always fun to see your friends play though.

I'm pretty psyched about tonight! I'm going with some friends to see a double feature of The Departed and Goodfellas at the Fox Theatre. The Fox Theatre is a beautiful venue where parties, formals, screenings, and etc take place. At some point in your college career at Emory, you will go to a function at the Fox Theatre. It's pretty much a guarantee.

Like all Emory students, I love Atlanta! It truly is one of the best things about coming to Emory. There is always something to do, somewhere to go, great restaurants. ATL has everything and more that a college student could want! As an Emory student you get the best of both worlds: a close knit campus surrounded by a big city and all its amenities. Yeah I know...it sounds really cheesy but seriously it's true!
