Hey guys! It’s Mardi Gras today, Fat Tuesday, Joe-Biden-Visits-Atlanta Day. It’s also Dr. Seuss’s birthday . Tuesdays are always quieter nights, but I thought this one would be a little lively. Oops, turns out it’s not Dr. Seuss’s birthday today, that was Sunday, but if you’re a GaTech student, there’s some kind of Seussical birthday celebration going on today on campus.

Did anyone make it out to the Eyedrum thing last night?

If you like Indian food, and who doesn’t, The Music Room (327 Edgewood) is having a guest chef create three or five course Indian dinners for you tonight, $22 for a 3-course or $35 for a 5-course. It sounds delicious.

Everybody’s favorite pizza dive bar Jacks Pizza & Wings (676 Highland Ave NE) has Everybody Run playing a free set and then filming a music video at 7pm

At 7:30 tonight, Regal Atlantic Station (261 19th St.) is showing Casablanca for free. Get tickets here in advance though.

If that’s not enough Mardi Gras goodness for you, it’s worth noting that pretty much every bar around is doing something tonight, there are many bars I haven’t been to or even heard of, so if I’ve missed your local watering hole, they might still have something going on. Also, check out Scoutmob’s Mardi Gras Atlanta guide.

Not too many shows tonight (Imgur):

There’s also the regular Tuesday stuff, as well as all the ongoing events!

If I had the cash I’d be down on Edgewood eating that Indian food, but I’ll probably be at Sidebar drinking a Hurricane (read: finding out what a Hurricane is) and then stumble back to Midtown after in weather that was so eloquently described by weather.com as ’colder than yesterday.’ Let me know what you guys get up to!
