A good old fashioned zombie themed scavenger hunt through the metro area. Players were given gadgets to ward off zombies and followed clues as they explored the city looking for hidden codes. It all ended at a secret location, Sidebar, where some relaxing began.

Zoetic Dance Ensemble: Dirty Pretty

TL Pixley — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:37:04 +0000

Local modern dance company Zoetic Dance Ensemble held an open dress rehearsal prior to tonight’s premiere of Dirty Pretty. The show features multimedia components that enhance the stellar choreography instead of distracting from it and several quirky aspects that make it a highly engaging dance concert. The cute name doesn’t hurt either. See the show at 7 Stages Theater running from Oct. 30-Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. each evening.

BET Awards red carpet

TL Pixley — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:11:07 +0000

The BET Awards were held in Atlanta at the Civic Center Oct. 18 and, like any red carpet event, it was a visual feast and fiasco. The throngs of press, publicists and hangers-on could have filled a high school football stadium. But instead they were packed behind ropes and in designated areas.

Rubbing shoulders with stars while feigning disinterest is an art form that most in attendance Saturday seem to have perfected. The screams that occasionally came from outside the heavily-secured gates would lead one to think that being inside those gates is what some dreams are made of. But the reality, at least from this photographer’s point of view, is sadly more mundane — glittering and glossy as much of celebrity is, but tiring nonetheless.
