Well, that’s the five points. More specifically, the Little Five Points Halloween Festival & Parade.

This is one Atlanta’s, if not the nation’s, favorite Halloween parties. Located in the always fun and offbeat Five Points neighborhood, this bash will feature plenty of eclectic music, arts and some of the best costume-watching anywhere.

Live music starts at noon. The parade is at four, and the ghoulish good times will keep right on until right before the witching hour.

See you there!

What’s the Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse?

Well, according to the undead in charge:

The Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse is an immersive Halloween attraction like nothing seen or experienced before. This isn’t a leisurely stroll through a haunted house.

 

This will feel like you are in a Hollywood movie, running in and out of buildings, up and down stairs and covering a lot of ground as you flee from the undead who all want to eat your brains.

And the freaks at Fangoria Mag say it’s . . .

“The biggest, most unique “total immersion” Halloween horror experience the city of Atlanta (or anywhere else for that matter) has ever seen.”

It’s happening every Thursday through Sunday in October at 4215 Thurman Rd.
Conley. If you’re looking for true terror, you can’t do much better.

Get the hair-raising specifics here.

And if you’re looking for deals on your next apartment that will put your mind at ease, may we suggest a dose of DDA?

Today, tomorrow and Saturday, Midtown Atlanta is transformed in to hip-hop Mecca.

Three days, four stages, mad music. Don’t miss it! An all-access pass is only $40!

Check the schedule here.

Then Check in at The Masquerade (AKA the Mothership Connection)
695 North Ave Northeast, Atlanta.

And for a taste, here’s a track from Action Bronson (keep it on the phones at work. Def. NSFW).

Nothing beats a good burger, but what’s the one burger that beats the rest? We’ll know after Saturday’s Battle of the Burgers.

This beefy day-long event will pit a host of favorite Atlanta area burger joints, bars and eateries in a sizzling, well-seasoned showdown.

Things get cooking early, with a 5K run (which we recommend if you really want to work up an appetite).

As you can see, these burgers mean business:

If you’re a bit broken up that favorite sons R.E.M. have packed it in, we have to recommend getting a big music fix at this year’s Music Midtown 2011.

The lineup speaks for itself: Coldplay, The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant, Joy Formidable, Band of Skulls, The Constellations, Manchester Orchestra, The Postelles.

Get down to the Meadow at Piedmont Park this Saturday and soak up all the sounds!

And if you need an R.E.M. fix, here’s an old live clip featuring a triumphant return to Athens.
