Weekend at a glance: guess who's coming to dinner #47

Man, living for the weekends have become the highlight of my life. So essentially, I try to make the most of each and every minute.Saturday, I attended an event at The High Museum of Art. They called it Culture Shock: Homegrown. Wow. What an amazing event. A night filled with music, art, food and culture. Approaching the museum, people on the lawn watching a screening of Micah Stansell's  "The Water and the Blood". Inside, we listened to sweet sounds of hip hop and bluegrass by Ashanti "The Mad Violinist" ft the Symphony Crack Orchestra (DOPE!!) and The Whiskey Gentry.Yeah, there was food and booze. And yeah, there was all of the exhibits. But omg, we got to paint mason jars!!! I felt like a proper Southern girl. Except my friend decided to outdo my balls jar. Grrr.I can't even count how many times I've visited The High. I never tire from it. There's always a new exhibition to see. Check out these pieces. Shattered glass and an illusion mirror.Sunday, I waited until the very last-minute to catch Kenny Leon's adaptation of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" I'm so glad I did. It is one of my favorite movies and Leon did not disappoint. I was so pleased to see my pretend aunty Phylicia Rashad performing ever so gracefully. That woman is amazing.This weekend, I will be spending time with family in South Florida. More fun pictures to come!
