Only in Atlanta Elite Event

To Unilocaler Y: Bitch, please.
We all saw that episode of DROP DEAD DIVA two weeks ago.
And you’re from NY! I wasn’t at the event either, but clearly 32 other people had a great time.
Now move along before someone drops a house on you.

A super fun event and many kraken were unleashed. Holy crap that stuff was awesome. The food layout by babs was a bid modest but I did like the pimento cheese spread. Session ales were super awesome.
But lets not forget this was open bar without tickets, holy crap 10 stars for you halo and Unilocal.
Thanks Kathleen, we had a great time and one of my friends just made it elite as well. He was very proud to go on his own invite rather then as my guest.
Cheers!

Had a lot of fun last night. Real

Had a BLAST meeting more Unilocalers. The addition of endless martinis didn’t hurt ;)
Surprisingly, I woke up this morning feeling better than P. Diddy. Yay for Krakken Rum!
Bartenders were super friendly. I got to try the spinach dip and it was tasty. I think the paper plates ran out or something, but that didn’t stop me… I scooped that dip on a piece of napkin and was good to go.
Thank you Kathleen, for hosting yet another FABULOUS event!

I woke up this morning with a mysterious red clothy bracelet on my wrist. When the room stopped spinning I finally could read the words on it: Blood /​Yelp /​Tears. Pretty much sums up the evening.
Great event — strong drinks and an excellent venue. Agreed that the food wasn’t as great as it usually is and the music was a bit loud, but after a few drinks it was somehow no longer an issue for me. Besides, my crystal ball told me that a Sublime Burger was in my future anyway… and my crystal ball was right!

I was surprisingly fresh this morning considering how much Krakken Rum I downed last night. Halo was great and it’s always been one of those places that I love to keep in my pocket in case I need to pull out a good time (even though I don’t frequent).
The drinks were really strong and I was excited to sample some nibbles from Babs. Sadly, there wasn’t much more than a few cheese trays. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to visit for the full experience.
I loved everyone who got dressed up as their «only in Atlanta» neighborhood. Addy C. definitely wins with her Super H Mart vest from Doraville. I think I represented Buckhead well. Carrie Neal W. and her +1 surpassed me and showed us all a true glimpse of Brookhaven.
Special thanks to Kathleen M. for showing us all another great time! I *heart* you!

Great to see everyone last night, particularly the folks who attempted to rep a ‘hood :) Props to the Halo bartenders for a solid fruit juice cocktail for the Sandy Springs soccer mom who couldn’t partake from the deliciously described cocktails and beer. Being the old pregnant lady that I am, I was unimpressed by the food, and hoarse for my 9pm conference call from talking over the loud music. I did love the music selection, just wish I didn’t have to scream to meet new Unilocalers!
Thanks, Halo, Kathleen, Shawanda, and Kevin for a great night!

I haven’t hung out in Halo in a long time. It used to be one of my favorite venues. It looked like it hadn’t changed since I last visited. They still that the staircase that goes to the celling – my favorite chill out spot.
The music was pretty good, too bad you still have no room to dance in Halo.
I didn’t drink much, but I liked the beer I had. I had the dark one, I can’t remember the name.
The food did disappoint me though. It consisted of a party tray of vegetables, cheese, and dip. I felt like I went to a poor college student’s house party.
I still enjoyed it though. Cool people showed up as usual, and I had fun. I can’t wait for the next event.

This was my first Atlanta Elite Event, and I had a great time! I enjoyed meeting so many people, and that Krakken rum was dee-​li-​shus! I had three of the Ponce de Leon’s and I’m obviously more of a lush than I thought because I found them suitably tasty, yet without the hassle of drunken debauchery. (Debauchery not being welcome when work is beckoning a few hours away.) I didn’t have any snacks as I’d heeded Kathleen’s advice and had dinner before coming out.
I got to schmooze with Gretchen, Addy, David, Kit, Ivan, Ron, Wallace, Heather, Tamara, Kristina, and many others and truly enjoyed myself. Everyone was friendly and made me and my guest feel welcome.
I did love the layout of Halo and look forward to visiting again sometime soon. The bartenders were awesome and told me when the best nights and times were (Fridays and Saturdays after 12:30AM). I’m glad I finally go to see Halo as its hidden location has eluded me in the past.
Thanks to Halo, Kathleen, Krakken, and all the Unilocalers I met for ensuring I had a fabulous night!

«Representing Brookhaven»
Super-​fun! Yeah, we went for the theme and dressed up and boy was it fun to have a legit reason to wear — gasp! — tennis shoes out to a club! Crazy. That Guy and I had a great time visiting with everyone and I got confirmation that if things go south with us he thinks my girl Sarah B. is the coolest thing since sliced bread! (Points for bringing a date with a DeLorean, btw, girl!)
Maybe I was too in character in my Country Club Tennis MILF attire but I really dug the pimento cheese (and so timely given this last Weekly Unilocal,no?! Nice job, Babs and Kathleen!) and I certainly dug that Krakken in the Old Fourth Ward concoction.
Chalk another win up for Team Kathleen — thanks for a fun night!

I was the girl representing Doraville. The one in the Super H Mart smock. It was kinda funny the # people who asked me if I worked there. To set the record straight:
— No, I do not work there :)
— No, I did not forget to take off my work uniform :)
— No, that wasn’t a real uniform :)
Otherwise, fun evening. It’d been several years since I’d been to Halo. Great drink selection — I liked that every drink listed was not your ordinary drink. Even the beers were different — I got the Session Lager which was pretty good. Food on the other hand was disappointing. I’m surprised Babs wouldn’t use the opportunity to showcase some of their brunch selections — I’d heard great stuff about them but veggies & cheese & hummus & spinach dip are not going to make me want to check out your restaurant, sorry :(
But best part of the event like all the other events — meeting people, esp. enjoyed meeting some of the brand-​new elites! And like the other events, I went home w/​a sore throat from all the talking :) The loud music didn’t help either … I know, I’m an old fogey :)

While the music was a little loud, the rum drinks and session beers and snacks from Bab’s definitely made up for it. I did lots more mingling this time and only confirmed how awesome Unilocal people were.
Thanks fearless leader!
EDIT: Forgot. the Lager was light and delicious.
