Random trip to Underground Atlanta

Sep 3, 2008 Grab Bag

One great thing about being a single dude with almost no responsibilities on the weekend is that I can randomly decide to do pretty much whatever I want (within reason, of course).

For example, this past Saturday I decided I would take Marta (Atlanta’s mass-transit system) down to Underground Atlanta.

Underground Atlanta is a cool little place downtown with a bunch of street vendor-type shops set up, restaurants, clubs, and other kinds of entertainment. It is a pretty cool atmosphere. Anyways, I hadn’t been in a long time, so I hopped on the train, went down, walked around for 30 minutes or so, and then came home. Some things that were worth mentioning about the trip (in no particular order):

1. First of all, here is a shot from inside Underground:

2. Also, like I said, there were some street vendors:

3. At one of the train stops, this guy just stood by the door and stared in. It was a little creepy.

4. There was a cowboy with a mountain bike that got on at one point. Awesome!

Anyways, I know this is a random post, but I thought it was worth sharing. O, the single life!

A Cool Idea + It’s a small, small world

Sep 2, 2008 Grab Bag, Just Plain Awesomeness

On Digg today, I came across a pretty cool article. This website called “The Plug” did this little thing where they took a disposable camera and tied it to a park bench along with the following note:

Good afternoon,
I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug

By the end of the day, the entire roll of film was used! Most of the pictures are of people just having fun while taking a break from walking around town.

While looking at the pictures, I recognized someone who I went to Elementary/middle/high school with. How cool! She is in the 2nd row, last picture.

Check out the gallery.
