Hey guys! Gonna try to get this done quickly today because there’s a lot to do today and it’s already a little late! Did anyone make it out to Invent Room Pop last night? It was certainly ‘interesting.’

Scavenger Hunt Atlanta is going on all over Atlanta all morning, so if your dream is to ride Marta all over the city looking for weird stuff to take pictures of before other people do it first, uh, here you go.

The Second Annual Southern Cannabis Reform Conference is going on all day long at the Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center (800 Spring St), tickets are $45 and come with a complimentary gram of weed (that’s not true).

There are loads of events going on all over the city for the first day of the Atlanta Science Festival, check the full list here but my favorites for the day are:

The 1st Annual Georgia Craft Beer Festival is going on at Red Brick Brewing (2323 Defoor Hills Road) today, 1pm-6pm, tickets are a little pricey but it sounds like a good time, even if Pabst isn’t craft beer. has anyone had anything from that new Eventide brewery in Grant Park yet?

There’s a free matinee show at Star Bar (427 Moreland) this afternoon, Cory Bishop and Matt Bernardski are playing. 5pm, no cover, 21+

If you’re not a member of the Reddit Atlanta Facebook Group, you should be, because then you’d already know about the crazy Mario Kart Foot Race Meetup they’ve got planned for this afternoon. It’s basically Mario Kart in real life, complete with balloons and power-ups and everything! 5pm, Piedmont Park.

The Roller Derby Girls are back at the Yaarb Shrine Center (400 Ponce De Leon Ave) for a double-header game, $15 for one or $25 for both. Starts at 5pm, second game at 7:30.

Paris on Ponce (716 Ponce de Leon) is holding Burnaway ArtCrush Auctions tonight at 7pm. It’s definitely something more than an auction, because tickets are $50 at the door, but I can’t quite work out exactly what’s happening.

Punk Rock Party at Dragon’s Den (1044 State Street) tonight, five punk bands playing, followed by a couple of acoustic sets outside after the show. Doors at 6, but I’d say get there around 7 or 8 even, no cover, BYOB, 21+.

It’s Super Hero Science Night at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, I’m not even children and I kinda want to go, if you have kids you should definitely check this out and take them! $15, 6:30pm.

It’s also NanoDay at The Fernbank (156 Heaton Park Dr) today with hands on demonstrations and a magic show. Free admission. Child me is living vicariously through all the kids who go to this and then Super Hero Science Night afterwards.

First there was the Red Bull art show in Piedmont Park (still going on if you haven’t seen it yet!) and now there’s an Absolut Vodka Art Event as the perfect companion! Each artist painted their version of 'transforming the city,’ and the best ones are being displayed at The Nook (1144 Piedmont) tonight at 7pm as part of The Nook’s 5th anniversary weekend party!

A new exhibit is opening up at Eyedrum (115 MLK Jr SW) tonight, called Through One Another, “an exploration of identities using cloth and paper.” No cover and free Mexican and Southern food!

Loose Change is having a release party for the first ever print edition of their magazine at the Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge (644 North Highland Ave NE). If you’re into the writing/lit scene, you should check this out! $5 at the door, print copies will be for sale at $12 each. 7pm

At the Beep Beep Gallery (696 Charles Allen Drive), there’s a movie showing tonight called Broken Beauty: A Show About Glitch. “Punks of the video world, glitch artists, use a wide array of new and old technologies to rebel against the hyper-slick and glossy world of contemporary media.” $7, 8pm.

Boeing Boeing is being performed tonight at OnStage Atlanta ( 2969 E. Ponce De Leon Ave), it’s a comedy play about a cheating pilot and his three mistresses, and apparently it’s the most performed French play in the world (it is translated and performed in English though). Tickets are around $15+, 8pm.
