It’s that time of the month again!

I’m super stoked about tonight’s Big Trouble In Little Five Points lineup and you should be too!

Missy Gossip and the Secret Keepers have been booming around Atlanta as of late - In May you can catch them opening at the SoCo Music Experience (5/17) and at the Funnel of Love tornado benefit at Smith’s (5/22). Casper & The Cookies and their infectious pop will get everyone dancing like its their birthday. To wrap up the night, Morning State, one of the biggest buzz bands in Atlanta (this week) is headlining. I don’t know, I guess if the AJC, Creative Loafing, Performer, and SPIN.com is writing about them - maybe we should give ‘em a chance?

During Record Store Day, I picked up a free issue of Paste Magazine but haven’t looked at it until now.  So I was surprised to see that they had a special offer where you could “Pay What You Want” for a year’s subscription.  That’s right, just like Radiohead. 

Wasn’t sure if the link or the offer was still working, but I just tried it and it worked for me.  So if you want to get your year’s subscription to Paste Magazine for anything from $1* to $19.95**, then go to this link.

* - Minimum of $1 to cover credit card processing fees.
** - Normal subscription rate is $19.95, so doubt you’ll want to pay more than that.

If you’ve ever been to 97 Estoria you’ve seen Cooper Sanchez’s artwork, you know the big piece of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, I so want it.

Well that’s Cooper’s work. More of his work will be on display at the Function Event Space in downtown Decatur for a show titled Flagship Mark featuring flags created by Cooper and the Betsy Ross Society. The opening night is Friday, May 2 at 7pm. I’m hoping that means some free drinks to kick off the night…

Afterwards I highly recommend coming out to The Five Spot in Little Five Points for the monthly “Hand Job Art Experience.” Hand Job features live art by some pretty cool dudes who have in the past or still illustrate for Cartoon Network - this Friday they are inviting a friend of mine, tattoo artist Samuel Parker - and a Dance Party after that!
