Hey fam,
Me and my brother will be planning and having a festival next year on a certain Food ( don’t wanna mention as of now the food we are using)

Now my brother has thrown events before, he has done music award shows, music showcase and all. My job is logistics and curating.

I have never thrown an event but I know data, numbers and what a customer would want. I have been to many festivals myself.

Can anyone drop suggestions, resources, recommendations and thoughts on what I should look forward, what to do and any very important details I don’t wanna miss.

Pleas and thank you

The Deltas and Kappas are having a Halloween costume party for anyone interested! Looks like it’s going to be fun. See some of yall there hopefully. It’s LIBRA SEASON!!!

200 confirmed attendees! Don’t miss out on the best costume party in Atlanta!

Anyone have any ideas of good spots? Leaning toward Atlanta Botantical Garden on a Friday night. Has anyone ever proposed there that can offer advice? I read on some website that proposals aren’t allowed during the Christmas light season at ABG? Is that true? Worried about it being too crowded and not have kind of a private spot to get on one knee! 😁 Any recommendations on the best place in ABG to potentially propose?

Open to any other spots too that are good around Christmas time!

Thanks in advance!

I didn't realize there was a whole set of federal trucking rules on top of the usual insurance side of things. Nobody really tells you that part.

Now I'm wondering if a regular personal injury lawyer can handle this or if they need someone who actually works with trucking cases and federal motor carrier rules.

Has anyone here dealt with something like this? I'd really appreciate hearing what kind of lawyer you went with. Any experiences would be really helpful

I paid $6.42 through ParkMobile for parking before a show at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The reason I use ParkMobile is for the convenience of having a guaranteed, clearly identified place to park.
The problem?** The parking spot/location I paid for was not actually available as described. The lot was ** Deck C Garage, 58 6th St. Atlanta, GA 30308,
We followed the directions provided, drove around the garage, turned and went down the ramp, and looked for the designated ParkMobile/ParkWhiz spaces. There were none. The spaces we found were reserved for another company, with signs warning that we could be booted if we parked there. There was also no way to pay for those spaces.
We were running late for the show and ultimately had to give up and pay another $30 to park on the street.
I contacted ParkMobile expecting them to make this right. Their initial response was essentially that purchases are non-refundable and that they don’t have the ability to refund the money because it goes to the parking operator. After I pushed back and explained that the parking we paid for didn’t exist as directed, they agreed to submit a $6.42 refund request as a “one-time courtesy,” subject to approval.
Yes, it’s only $6.42. That’s not really the point.
If you take someone’s money for a parking reservation, there should actually be a usable parking space/location corresponding to that reservation. And if the information provided is wrong or the parking isn’t available, telling the customer that the purchase is non-refundable shouldn’t be the answer.
I use ParkMobile because I want parking in Atlanta to be easier, not to spend 20 minutes driving around looking for a space that apparently doesn’t exist and then pay another $30 because I’m now late.
Sharing this so others know to double-check the actual parking location and signage before relying on a ParkMobile reservation.
