Dialog in the Dark is an exhibition that takes people through common experiences the blind encounter in their every day lives in ways that sighted individuals can take for granted.

It is truly a life-changing journey in complete darkness as people learn to see without sight, relying on the other four senses to navigate their way through parks, streets and other urban environments.

I had a chance to experience this myself and interviewed Atlanta resident and tour guide, Nicole Campbell. Campbell discussed the exhibition, common questions and what it means to be blind in Atlanta.

We also search the Georgia Music Directory to listen to “Autumn Leaves” by the After Hours Quartet.

Last week the W Atlanta Hotels gave the media a sneak peek of their latest locale. The new location is just a stone’s throw away from Lenox Square Mall on Peachtree Street and scheduled to open mid November.

Like all of the hotels in the chain, the W Atlanta - Buckhead will maintain the stark white signature facade while showcasing its own unique decor. According the hotel’s General Manager, Marylouise Fitzgibbon, the theme is “country club chic,” an eclectic mix of southern traditional and modern styles. This is a far departure from it’s sister, W Midtown which features a “retro glam” theme.

Not sure what country club chic looks like, take the virtual tour via YouTube:

Sure, you’re probably thinking the old addage of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” but today the focus in on something a bit more specific - the right to worship and the apparent lack thereof.

In this episode I speak with Pastor Troy Sanders and Rev. Dr. Kathy Martin of Preach2me.com on the messages in todays churches including the “don’t ask, don’t tell” homosexual policy in the Black church. Sanders and Brown also chime in on the growth of prosperity ministries. This week we feature a track from Levphonic’s upcoming release Urban Jungle which I’ve decided to name, Smooth Mofo.

(Image courtesy doyouhavethecrazy.com)

Directed by local filmmakers David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry and Dan Bush, The Signal took a while to reach theaters but it’s finally hitting the big screen (albeit in limited-release form) this weekend.

The directors, as well as one of the producers for the movie, Alex Motlagh dropped by the CL offices and sat down to talk cult movies, low-budget horror, and stereotypes.

The movie was shot on location right here in Atlanta, so, even though it might not be suitable for all ages (or tastes, for that matter) go see it. Support the local talent. For a trailer, and to read more about the film, head on over to PopSmart.

Anyway people, this week Ed sat down with Jason Schwartzman who’s in the new film The Darjeeling Limited. He talked to us about the movie, filming in India, a crazy river scene, and he managed to squeeze in some details about his side project, Coconut Records, his one-man band.

He even let us play one of his songs for you, “West Side,” so check that out after the interview.

John’s latest project, Illegal Tender, is a fictional tale of a Nyurican gangster’s legacy and one boys journey to find his way out of a maze of secrets and vendettas.

Maybe it’s the roles he chooses that I appreciate. He has gone from an Archie Bunker-esque garbage man in Roc to a twisted huntsman who makes sport of the homeless in Surviving the game and everywhere in between. No matter what role Dutton plays, he’s straight on, honest and believable.

Last week, we had the opportunity to speak with Dutton at the 7th Annual Image Awards Gala held at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. Instead of doing the usual dog and pony questions, we instead asked his opinion on the Don Imus issue and the backlash against rap music. Dutton has been a long time advocate of civil rights and the state of Black America, so we felt it would be a safe bet that he’d tell it to us straight.
