Atlanta anniversary trip

Well, Eric and I went to Atlanta this past weekend to continue celebrating our anniversary and we had a blast. Our intention was to go there and visit some techno clubs that we wanted to check out. We arrived early Saturday morning and we went to the CNN studios to take the tour they have. It was pretty cool. They take you behind the scenes and explain how they collect all the news that ends up on the TV. We didn't get to be on TV but it was still fun to see. It was especially cool to hear about how the weathermen do the weather with those big maps behind them. After CNN we went to Centennial Park to watch the little kids run through the fountain. We discussed how disturbing it is that some parents dress their little girls like miny whores. I swear there was one girl who was about 10 or 11 and she was wearing a hooker/porn star dress. It was tight, had a very low v drop in the front and her back was bare. I have seen strippers that wear the same outfit on the pole. There were also too many little girls 6 and under in halter tops and short skirts or shorts. I personally think that no girl under the age of 15 needs to wear a bikini or halter type top of any kind. Whoever started this fad needs to be punished. When we walk around in the malls I am always frightened by all the girls under 15 that walk around dressed like professionals. Anyway, that is my rant. Back with the Recap.

We went stopped by the Undergound on our way to the hotel. We took a preclubbing nap since one of the clubs we wanted to go to opened at 11pm and closed at 5am. We tried to go to Eleven50 and we were disappointed to find that it had been rented out for a wedding party. These people must have had money. So we walked around and went to a smaller bar called the Vortex first to get drunk. It was and ok bar, but no techno. They had some band that was ok and they played some rock songs, but most of the time you could not understand what they were singing. We enjoyed the beer and had a shot of Jager for the Huntsville Party Posse!!! After we were nice and toasty about 1:30am we went to the club Backstreet Atlanta, which was conveniently across the street. It is a techno/gay dance club that does not serve alcohol, just water and juice. It was an excellent club though. There were many straight people there and a lot of Asian people, strangely enough, most of which I think were all on some type of fun drug. Apparently, I am very hot to Asian population in Atlanta. I was "attacked" by about 6 or so of these guys. At first it was all in good fun and a little nice for the ego but later Eric had to grab me and hug me while we danced in order to keep them away. It was a crazy night. There were about three people with glow sticks doing light shows, but they were not very good and they did not have the cool glow sticks to work with. The club itself has some very cool lighting effects and the strobes were so bright that you would be blinded for a minute. It was pretty cool. Eric and I danced the night away until our feet were yelling at us and blisters were formed. All in all we had a great time in Hotlanta.

The next day we drove an hour south of Atlanta in to the middle of nowhere, literally, to see my best friend Mo and her husband in there new house. She was not kidding when she said she lives out in the backwoods of Georgia, but it was pretty nice there. We got to visit with them and give them a gift for their baby that is due at the end of August. We then drove on very small desolate roads before we could work our way to a highway that went in the right direction of our house.

The whole weekend was a blast! I think that Eric and I will be frequenting Atlanta more in the coming months. We will have to get more people to join us next time. We will look for dates when good DJ's will be at the clubs of Atlanta.
