List of events for Atlanta Labor Day Weekend 2009: Family and Nightlife

Thanks for all the advice in my post. I've decided to fly off for the weekend to Myrtle Beach after my class, then drive back with the rest of the crew. i'm gonna get there 9pm Saturday, so that kinda sucks.

but for those in Atlanta, I have compiled an eclectic list of activities, that are so diverse and fun,from beer festivals, to drive in theaters and family stuff. So if you'll be in Atlanta for the Labor day weekend 2009, definitely check these out for Friday - Monday. & (if are hosting or know of  a fun event & would like me to add it, email me)
