What are you doing for the art “scene”? For the culturally narcoleptic , STIR (Sounds Thoughts Ideas Rymes) has been providing a much needed wake up call (and cool alternative) for those weary of the fluff and circumstance characterizing much of ATL’s overpriced and uninspired entertainment landscape. From Afros To Shelltoes & Eperiod have taken a grass roots movement to the Woodruff Arts Center June 27, a testament to your support. With premiere artists and ice breaker on social issues –hosted by yours truly–STIR will truly “learn u somethin,” as the old folks say. Tell a friend. Dare to let your soul STIR.

Peace & Power
