by Ramon B. on I been here once, but I do plan on going back next month for a dubstep they have going. First and foremost, the place is awesome, no doubt it. There's like 5 different parties going on. The place is like a fun house. At every turn there is smaller show going on. needless to say, there is different genres of music playing. I went to a dubstep show with brand nubian and it was dope. The bass hit so heavy at this joint, but you could NOT figure out what they were saying unless you knew the words in advance. The reason I give this place a 3/5 was because of the price of the drinks. I ordered 2 drinks....payed 25 dollars. fml. I def have to grab a drink somewhere else before I come here again. lol at the drag-queen at the front door though. Crazy! I should of took a picture with........it? no offense.
by Elinor Buckles on I was very excited when I heard about the Georgia Aquarium's grand opening in 2005. Billed as the "world's largest aquarium," it boasted over 100,000 marine animals and 500 distinct species. It only took me 3 years to experience it for myself. I'm good at containing my excitement. At times I felt it was very commercial like Seaworld: the entrance was a typical long winded amusement park government cheese line, the price gouging food court was the center of it all and the exhibit sections were separated with clear gimmick delineations such as Georgia Explorer, River Scout and Tropical Driver. Not hot. Highlights for me included seeing the sharks and the scuba divers in the tunnel. There was another room with a huge tank, where sharks and other fish moved around... or floated idly (maybe dead?). If it weren't for the thick acrylic walls, one could easily mistake the display for a huge IMAX theater screen. Hot. Other sights would have interested me if I were a young boy with a full head of hair. The Beluga whales were as mesmerizing as watching someone use the restroom. The tunnel was frustrating at times since it was congested like a NYC subway car during rush hour. This time one blames strollers and little kids. Not hot. I will make no comparisons because the closest thing I could think of was my 4th grade fish tank. And those gold fish died. The Georgia Aquarium is beautiful and a testament to marine life lovers. I paid $27 on a Saturday afternoon but skipped the "behind the scenes" extras. I could not find the parking lot but I was fortunate to find a public $8 lot nearby (Georgia Dome Green Lot). I don't know how you can avoid the kids and the crowds, but it's worth seeing once. Here is your moment of Zen: Worth the price of admission? -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ ^~^~^~^~^~^~ , . o ___ \ ; . / o \ / \ :_ \___/ \ o \ .... __ . . | -- _ \ / o \ o . , / .. . | ___ __ .... / \__/ / ' ) `=~::: / / ``\``` ' / / 0Ooo | | oO ________________---- ___________ ----______ ---/ \ o | | . | /. | X / | _/ \ / ( \ ___--- _ -------- ______ ) \ ___-- _ -- ________----- ___ | gone | ( ) ----- ___---- _______---- ) . / o \ / | fishin?| ) ( :_____----- IFHTP 1 ( \___/ \ -----|----- ( ) ) | ) ================================================== ====== Why isn't he moving?

by Giles S. on crimson/opera is the greatest remodel of a sh1thole in the history of nightclubs. anyone who went to 1650 (vinyl) before knows that it was an absolute hole in the wall. what david has done with the place is nothing short of amazing. the place looks absolutely incredible now. before going you should know it's a current hot spot, so make sure you look good and have tons of hot chicks with you. if you aren't going to follow those two rules, don't bother showing up because you won't get in then you will come here and whine. it's not a place for everyone. you either like these kinds of places or you don't, but if you like young hollywood and tons of hot drunk people, this is your place.
