Local artist iri5 uses unconventional tools like video, 8-track, and cassette film to create stenciled 3D canvases of the likes of Ian Brown of The Stone Roses, Bob Dylan, Marilyn Monroe, Star Trek: Enterprise, and Jimi Hendrix. Commissions cost between $600-$1200, but she'll work with your budget for smaller projects -- so start going through your couch if you want a tribute to your D-Nice cassingle.

Based in Atlanta, YGG provides relationship assistance by dispatching one of its female agents to covertly befriend your girl in order to bring up subjects you're too timid/smart to broach yourself. Using tactics ranging from pedicures, to shopping excursions, to "subliminal suggestions", they'll plant suggestions that she should cook your favorite dishes, wear the kinds of clothes you like, and even share you with other women -- though the more she cooks your favorite dishes, the less this'll be a possibility.

At least during beta, this Atl-based company lets you trade games with other users for free, covering systems from the PS3 to the lowly Nintendo DS. Just tell them which titles you're sick of, and they'll assign point values to each and reveal trade possibilities, at which point you contact the owners to make/receive offers, then wait by the mailbox -- an easy process you'll doubly cherish for inducing you to walk outside for the first time since you got your Wii.

So those with dual loyalties can still support Atlanta, A-Town's team gear and accessories takes various color schemes -- including those of several MLB, NBA, and NFL teams -- and incorporates them into the lowercase “a” Braves logo. The ploy's used on everything from shirts (tees, ringers, fitted, organic cotton, golf shirts, long-sleeves), to housewares (coffee mugs, tile coasters, mousepads, clocks), to ball caps, messenger bags, and even thongs -- because nothing goes with an "a" quite like a "t".

Southwestern diner Nava's debuting their new patio with live music all night long, plus $5 specialty drinks (house sangria, Don Julio margaritas, Cruzan Rum mojitos), and small-plate “Navajitos” like Adobo-rubbed Carnita Pork Ribs, Tequila-Cured Salmon, and Spicy Rocky Mountain Bison Meatballs -- though you'll probably want to be pretty tequila-cured yourself before diving into anything involving "rocky", "mountain", and "ball".
