Want to know what's going on in the neighborhood this weekend? Patch let's you know.

 

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.

Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-work-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit and new bars/restaurants/shops to explore.

  1. THE UNDERGROUND THEATRE'S TIME OUT FOR GINGER
    When/Where: Tomorrow, 8:10pm, at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta
    Why Go: In this popular ‘50s comedy, the father of three teenage girls has given a rousing speech advocating personal freedom for all. Now his two oldest daughters are refusing to take gym, and his youngest daughter, Ginger, is determined to go out for the boys’ football team. A girl playing football?  The high school principal, Ginger’s sisters and boyfriend and her Dad’s boss are up in arms when the idea of "personal freedom" goes waaay too far!
    Pricing: $8 - $17
  2. BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUZANNE BROCKMANN
    When/Where: Saturday, 10am, at Eagle Eye Books, 160 Clairemont Ave.
    Why Go: Brockmann celebrates the publication of her 50th novel by talking about writing romance: from controlling and commanding the muse, to the important message in the stories we tell, to the business of marketing deep emotion.

    When/Where: Saturday, 6:30pm, 1068 Country Lane NE
