MLS Playoffs: Atlanta United vs. Columbus Crew

Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival

This weekend was the Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival, and we went both days. It was a fantastic collection of food trucks, art vendors, and live music on two stages. 

There was also a huge kids carnival with inflatables, slides, and spinning rides.

We got to see live performances by both The Verve Pipe and Soul Asylum. 

Trader Vic's

Trader Vic's serves Polynesian Cuisine, and the ambiance and decor are delightful.

This drink is called The Zombie.

I got Volcano Chicken and it was very yummy!

High Museum of Art

Kevin and I visited the High Museum of Art to see two special exhibits. One was ancient Nubian art and artifacts, like these:

The other special collection was much larger, and full of Samurai art and artifacts from Japan.

Dragon Con

Kevin and I went to Dragon Con for the first time today. I knew it was a big deal, but I didn't really know.

It's huge. Like five hotels and two convention centers huge.

This is the lobby of the Marriott Marquis. 

It's where they filmed part of the Hunger Games. It was used as the Tribute Center.

We saw so many puppets and people in costume.

There was a gaming center for Magic and Dungeons & Dragons and board games and computer games and console games.

The local Star Wars cosplay group brought part of the Death Star with them.

I bought stickers!

We only went for one day, but the convention lasts from Thursday to Monday. I'm not sure how anyone has the energy for more than one day of Dragon Con, especially considering that there are basically events around the clock.
