When hip-pop acts the likes of these industry contenders come together, it is almost always a loud, colorful and beautiful thing. Janelle Monae jump-started Wednesday night’s performance at The Tabernacle with her signature antics and stomach-humming voice. N.E.R.D. followed it up with so much jumping around that, between them and the also height-achieving crowd, the floor rarely stopped shaking.

Tommy Hilfiger is promoting his recent partnering with Macy’s by holding signings at three Macy’s in America and bringing heartthrob crooner Gavin DeGraw along for the ride. The two appeared at the Lenox Mall Macy’s Sat., Sept. 13 to sign autographs, smile a lot and then sing for the adoring mass of tweens, teens and mommies.

If you attended this year’s ninth annual Drive Invasion at the Starlight Six Drive-In, then you know all about the music (and the mayhem) that makes this event one of the wickedest in Atlanta. But in case you forgot, these photos may jog your memory.

A fifteen-hour block party at The Five Spot in Little Five Points brings out all kinds of people ready to love, laugh and dance together. And that was the point of the We Are All One Block Party held August 16. With film screenings, live bands, poets, DJ’s spinning, masseuses on hand and a live graffiti creation going on, the block was defnitely hot. And unified.

CL has launched a new blog called Sideshow that exists merely so happy party-goers can see their happy faces the day after. We want to help people remember exactly how much fun they had before they were hungover. And we need a couple awesome photographers to do that.
We’ll be giving you the access to the coolest shows, parties and festivals. You’ll be posting wicked photos to our website. And we’ll pay you. It’s an exceedingly symbiotic relationship.
If you think you’re down for the task or know someone who is, contact me at taralynne.pixley@cln.com. Send me some shots you’ve taken that pass for “nightlife photos” (i.e. you and your friends at a party, drinking in your backyard or wreaking havoc elsewhere) and you just might get picked to be CL’s photo ambassador to the nightcrawlers of Atlanta.
Email me with any questions but check out the Sideshow photo galleries first to get an idea of what we’re looking for. Don’t send me photos of your dog, your grandma or that artsy shot of a fire hydrant. Party pics, people.
