AllyMcGlam: Weekend Recap

My best friend birthday is coming up and I could not make her original birthday party, soooooo, what do best friend do?!? I planned her a luau themed party at a cutesy little Mexican Restaurant called Tijuana Garage in the five points area of Atlanta. Here are some party picture below:

Wish her happy birthday on her blog CottonCandiCurls

I also attended an Indie concert at the Asylum showcasing various hip hop artist. I had the chance to interview upcoming hip hop star Richie NoDoze before he hit the stage. In our interview, I learned he grew up in a family of majority women, right here in Atlanta, graduating from Pebblebrook High School in Mableton, GA. His role model is his mother and inspiration in making sure he accomplishes his personal goals. Richie also gave me the scoop on his favorite hidden gems in Atlanta to visit, which are Apres Diem and Side Bar. I just added those places to my "yummy visit list" they both look amazing and have stellar reviews. He also enjoys watching movies like Zoolander (a hilarious classic), Fightclub, and Friday the 13th movies, he gets two thumbs up from me on the scary movies (my faves).

Richie NoDoze is no stranger to the entertainment industry, he worked at several radio stations in Alabama and hosted local shows and events centered around music parodies. I really enjoyed interviewing Richie; he was energetic, ambitious, positive, and articulate. He has a very bright future and I predict he will be topping charts around the country soon.
