The Foodie Goes Film Fest Funky . . .
Virginia is for Lovers, but Valentines Day is for Foodies!
Life is about the traditions we create and Valentines Day holds one of our traditions: the Father/Daughter Valentines Day Dance @ the Museum of Arts & Sciences. This annual DATE begins with dinner before the dancing begins. My daughter, Nina, gets to select the restaurant. I’ve experience my share of dinners at Burger King, McDonald’s, Chic-fil-A and the S&S Cafeteria…dressed in formal wear. But this year her tastes have changed. She selected The Back Burner! A Foodie at Last! Dinner was delish and Christian Losito & Chantal Suteau made my daughter feel like the princess she is. Honestly, this date is one of the Highlights of my year!
Being economically conscious this year, I skipped the flowers, chocolates & mushy card this year! The cash went towards Saturday night’s dinner with my wife at Natalia’s Restaurant. Daniel hooked us up with the perfect Grey Goose & Tonics & the best Green Apple Martini in town! We had a fabulously secluded table and enjoyed the ever-fabulous food she prepares. Friends Mitch & Olga Rodriguez popped by our table to share a drink & a chat…it was nice. I hope your D was full of V!
This will be an exciting week to live in Macon, Georgia. MAGA aka Macon Film Festival invaded SoChi last night. Governor Sonny Perdue & Vince Dooley kicked off the festival (stay tuned for details!) Filmmakers, actors, media, paparazzi & film lovers from across the country will be in town for this years’ 5-day event. And yes, Virginia, there is an After Party…every night! So put on your party shoes swing on down!!!
“Film Fest Funky” is the attire … a MAGA t-shirt will do just fine. But If you need help with the funky part…head down to Treasure Vintage on Cotton Ave. They will Funk You Up!
See you at MAGA!!!
