I don’t know about you guys, but my weekend starts at 7:15 tonight, I’m excited. Sorry the email was late yesterday, I had to set up a mailchimp account. Turns out Gmail doesn’t like to be used as a mass-BCC email system…

Watching the Bonnaroo announcement was loads of fun, if anybody didn’t see, the headliners are Jack White, Lionel Richie, and Elton John. Don’t often see Criminal that packed!

97 Estoria (727 Wylie St.) is holding a bingo night with all proceeds going towards the Atlanta Zine Fest, starts at 7pm. $2 a card/$3 for 2, $5 for 5.

The W Midtown (188 14th Street NE) is hosting No Cameras: The Clermont Lounge Book Launch Party. Tickets are $50, but they include a signed coy of the Clermont Lounge book, and Blondie will be there in person, doing whatever Blondie does when she isn’t at the Clermont. If you’ve got the cash to spare, this will probably be great fun, and you’ll walk away with a piece of Atlanta history in the making! 7pm, 21+

After the Clermont party, Noni’s (357 Edgewood Ave SE) is hosting Miss Edgewood Avenue 2014, a drag beauty contest, at 9pm. I can only imagine what this will be like, probably packed and insane, in a good way. “Who will earn the crown and the right to be named this year’s baddest bitch on Edgewood??” 21+, $5 “suggested donation cover”

Downtown, the Mammal Gallery (91 broad street SW) is having a Secret Movie Night. It’s free, doors open at 7 and the movie starts at 8pm. Spoiler alert: I think they’re playing Miami Connection, and if that’s correct then this will be amazing.

Hodgepodge Café in EAV (720 Moreland Ave SE) is having an open mic night at 7:30, also happens every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month. No cover, free PBR, and cheap wine! If you’re in the area this sounds like a lot of fun, if anybody makes it out let me know how it is! Thanks to the reader who send that event in!

At 9pm, also over in EAV, Mary’s (1287 Glenwood Avenue) is having their bi-annual GOTH NITE: St. Valentine’s Massacre Edition, no pun intended. Two DJ’s will be playing classic goth anthems, and I’m certain that people will be going all-out with their costumes.

After the regular Thursday Danger! show at the Village Theater (349 Decatur St), there’s an Open Improv Jam, which is open to anybody who wants to show up to participate or observe.

There’s a lot of music tonight too.

That show at the 529 sounds cool, it’s part of the Left Field Experiment concert series, and Rittz/Two-9/Baby Baby is part of the Red Bull Sound Select Showcase so if you RSVP tickets are $3. (Imgur mirror of the table)

In addition to all that, there’s the regular Thursday stuff and everything that’s ongoing in the city!

Be sure to follow me on Twitter, put me in your RSS reader, follow me on Tumblr, or, sign up for the email newsletter (now on Mailchimp!), whichever one works best for you! Thanks to everyone who’s upvoting/following/signing up/tumblr-ing and helping make this a success so far!

I’ll be at Villains Wicked Heroes for trivia like always (Team SPECTRE, come out join us if you want!), and that’s usually where my night ends, but if I’m not drunk enough after that ends, I might check out the 529.

The W followed by Noni’s sounds like a solid night too, as does bingo at Estoria, or goth nite at Marys. Lots of cool things to do, let me know what you guys get up to and what turns out to be fun!
