News 1st Annual Unwrapped: Atlanta Web Party
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 4:55 PM
It's the day after Christmas.
You're burned out from family, bummed about receiving Sudoku books for presents, and feel awkward watching the family dog run around in holiday sweaters. So what do you do? Drink and dance! But with who? Why, fellow Atlantans, silly goose! Especially ones who blog, design and develop.
Creative Loafing, along with Peach Pundit, Tondee's Tavern, Pecanne Log, Asian Cajuns and a host of other local blogs and web outfits, is sponsoring the 1st annual Unwrapped: Atlanta Web party on Dec. 26 at Vinyl. The party's organizer is local blogger and web maestro Tessa Horehled — the woman behind music blog Drive A Faster Car and #atlgas.
Half of all proceeds will go toward the One Laptop Per Child, a nonprofit that hopes to provide the world's poorest children with a computer and all the educational benefits it can offer. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. (Visit Drive A Faster Car to purchase advance tickets.)
Drinks, dancing and music begins at 8 p.m. and lasts until 2 a.m. Horehled is DJing and Birdpony Photography will capture souls all evening. It's a good idea and a good cause.
Parking and MARTA details follow after the jump.
