American Firsts

ATLANTA, Georgia, February 12, 2007

For the first time in six months, I …

Saw American Dollahs

Was asked for my ID

Drank a non-Oasis Strawberry Margarita

Bought tacos at a restaurant

Had Carroll Street Brunch: Spicy Bloody Marys with Salmon Hash

Saw the Fulton Cotton Mill

Peeped the Atlanta Skyline

Had a Chai Tea Latte

Drove a car (mine!)

]

Gorged myself at Whole Foods’ salad bar (ah, the bounty of delicious nature choices!)

Ate Whole Foods Wild Alaskan Salmon Salad on toasted Organic Prairie Bread (my favorite!)

Saw Portuguese - while not in Portugal

… and, most importantly, saw my peeps at Atlanta’s finest drinking establishment - the Local!

Can you believe that hidden in this amazing group of people are seasoned media professionals - alt-weekly designers, reporters and marketeers, advertising managers, Mac Geniuses and web design gurus? Garsh, and to think we just look like a bunch of kids having fun.
