SPRING FESTIVITIES
The Crescent Avenue Springfest claims to be hosting "the biggest party this side of New Orleans." Front Page News in Midtown helps create a celebratory atmosphere with live bands (Stokeswood, Dixie Duncan and others), jambalaya and libations. A portion of the street will be blocked off as the event throws down in front of Front Page News and Vickery's on Crescent Avenue between 12th and 13th streets. When the party wraps at 10 p.m., it moves inside Front Page News with music from Slip Tripman. Guests must be 21 and older.

COLLEGE NIGHT
Every Thursday night at Bullfrogz in Kennesaw, penny-pinching students can sing about savings. The evening starts off with trivia.

GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING
Approximately 250 to 300 motorcycle riders and their respective bikes converge each Wednesday for Bike Night at Ribs N Blues Barbecue in Lawrenceville. And the restaurant dubs the last Wednesday of each month Super Bike Night, which typically features a live blues band and snazzier door prizes from sponsors like Road Atlanta, Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson and Cycle Gear of Lawrenceville. Get there early and score a premium reserved parking spot. Born to be wild, indeed.
