If you’re a New Year’s Eve procrastinator…try not to procrastinate past this evening because tickets for Spiral Entertainment’s PARTY ON PEACHTREE increase tonight at Midnight! (You can get $10 off at anytime with promo code “kraselskyNYE”)
I have my new sequin dress all ready to go to…
Spiral’s NYE party has always been an Atlanta favorite and this year it’s BETTER THAN EVER!
It’s ALL-INCLUSIVE and will feature about a zillion open bars everywhere you look, a catered gourmet buffet with carving stations, two enormous dance floors with multiple DJs spinning some tunes, midnight treats (I don’t know what that is, but I like the sound of it!) and will be just an all-around super glamorous way to ring in 2011!
PLUS, this awesome event will be held at Peachtree 200 and if you are unfamiliar with this venue, let me just tell you: It. Is. Awesome. Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta and occupying the renovated historic downtown Macy’s department store space, Peachthree 200 is absolutely gorgeous…witness:

Despite the rain on Saturday…
view of the sun showers @ piedmont park from the luckyfest tent
…we threw on green accessories + ventured out to LuckyFest @ Piedmont Park!
It was a little bit crowded.

There was a LOT of mud.
erin in massive mud puddle w/ a leprechan?
But, we’re seasoned Spiral Entertainment party goers – so a little weather wasn’t going to cramp our style! 
Here’s our afternoon in pictures:
we got the golden tickets! how? well, we told them we were all lauren kraselsky!!
slick + co.
in prep for luckyfest, jackie + christine ran 10 miles. i prepped by sipping cocktails w/ erin...
KILT-spotting!
(they were excited because they spotted the delta flight attendant who does the pre-flight instructional video)
We were our own paparazzi… Such a fun day!
The REAL St. Patty’s Day, however, is on Wednesday! Celebrate @ Fado’s Irish Pub in Buckhead w/ Q 100 + The Bert Show.
Tickets here: http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/10421.aspx
I took a day off from work for St. Pat’s last year and went with the little brother to celebrate @ Fado’s. We had a blast! And, I can safely say that it’s the only place to be on Wednesday.

It’s that time again!
This SATURDAY, February 13th is Midtown’s Original OysterFest!
12pm at the Park Tavern in Midtown Atlanta
Here are 5 reasons you should attend:
5. Discounted tickets. When you buy your tickets at www.spiralentertainment.com enter promo code “kraselsky” (no caps) for $5 off. They are currently $20 online right now and will likely increase Thursday night at midnight.
4. If it rains, as it did last year, it’s an excellent excuse for WELLIES: 
(Last year some dude stopped me to tell me my “kicks” were “whimsical” and that he appreciated that.)
3. Live music. Performances by Nine Inch Neils (Neil Diamond Tribute Band), Justin (80’s and 90’s cover band), and Gurufish (Funk, R&B, Rock.) So, ummmm, you’re pretty much covered.
"Haaaaands....holding haaaands....."
2. It’s the day before Valentine’s day and every restaurant in town will be on a prix fixe menu while you are downing OYSTERS. 
Steamed. Fried. However you like ‘em (as long as you don’t like ‘em raw.) There will be other food there too, obvi. Bonus: they also won’t make you leave clutching a single red rose in your paw.
1. It is really, REALLY fun and the whole city of Atlanta will be there. Fact. Plus, one of my favorite pictures of all time was taken at Spiral’s Oysterfest last year. Witness: 
Soooooo…..see you at the Park!

It’s been 9 days since Halloween and I miss it already.
Now I have to wait another 356 for it to come around again. (No worries, I will NOT wait nearly that long to wear a costume in public: Fact.) But the nice folks at Spiral Entertainment were kind enough to give me a little hit of Halloween this morning: the Spiralween pictures came out and look who is in the very first picture that pops up:
L+L!
Also out: The official costume contest nominees!
Now, as a Spiral Host (Thank you, thank you. I’ll sign autographs later…) one of the perks is that I get to help judge the costume contest and this is how my votes went:
1. 75/85 Connector Couple
Had to give it up for to the local creativity. Loved it.
2. Hebot/Shebot
How did they DO that?
3. My Little Ponies
80's Nostalgia = Always a Winner.
If I could award some personal honorable mentions they would all go to the current events costumes:
H1N1 Swine Flu Couple:
Balloon Boy:
The Money You Could be Saving with Geiko:
And
Hangover Baby Dude (not really a “current event” but current enough for me):
I’d also give one to Lindsay’s favorite:
iPod Headphones (HILARIOUS.)
and the Olan Mills Photo Guy:
Inspired by awkwardfamilyphotos.com?
Although not official contenders, I also thought the the cast of Zoolander was awesome:
Really, really ridiculously good looking.
And the Armed Forces Girls:
But I may be a little biased.
There are two $500 cash prizes that will be awarded, one that the hosts pick and one popular vote pick. So…vote early and vote often. Click here to see all the Spiral costume contest nominees and choose your favorite!
356 more days…really?

My second favorite holiday of the year, St. Patty’s is #1: green beer, leprechauns and pinching strangers – you don’t get much better than THAT, is right around the corner. 31 days from now to be exact… It’s time to get serious, people.
Although I am legitimately afraid of the dark, I don’t watch scary movies nor do I trust people in masks, I have a very special place in my heart for Halloween. Maybe it’s my mom’s voice in the back of my head reminding me that “in this life – you can be anything you want to be, darling.” Or maybe it’s my eighth grade art teacher encouraging me to think outside of the box and really utilize my creativity. Whatever the case, I take costumes very seriously - and Halloween is the Mecca of costuming.
Please witness a brief photo montage of recent Halloween awesomeness:
Cat (boring, but whatev)
Jailbird Martha Stewart
Gold Digger & Kanye West
Electric Socket & Plug
Tex Mex
Viking & Co.
I haven’t quite concocted my costume yet for this year, but my wheels are turning… These two costumes are in high contention right now:
http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/products/la83443.html
http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/products/dg4007.html
I promise nothing less than sheer awesomness – and I am thinking this may be the year for a group costume. Which brings me to the most important part…
You absolutely have to have a great Halloween party to attend to show off your creative costume! Every year we say we are going to do something different. We don’t. So again, for the fifth year in a row, we are going to Spiralween at Park Tavern! October 31 falls on a Saturday this year – so it will be perfect! Tickets are $10 right now, but they skyrocket closer to the party – so get them ASAP. Lines are pretty long when you arrive at Park Tavern, so make sure that you get there early-ish on Halloween night. There is a costume competition, too, which is always super fun. And – did I mention that Yacht Rock is this year’s band? Amazing!!
Buy your tickets to Spiralween here: http://www.spiralentertainment.com/buytix.php?eid=100
I’m only 128% sure that this Halloween is going to be the best yet! See you @ Spiralween!
xx, L
