The Twittersphere was blowing up during last night’s final Presidential debate. These were just a handful of my fave tweets.

Kelly is SweetJack’s laid back, in-the-know blog editor. This former magazine maven loves a good French fry with exotic dipping options (looking at you, Leon’s), her map-obsessed fiance Jason and her dog Maddy.

SweetJack’s Gone Country

SweetJack had a big weekend as they helped kick off the Brothers of the Sun Tour with Kicks 101.5 at Atlanta’s Falcons Landing this past Sunday. The day was full of sunshine, brews and, of course, fun-loving country music fans. Here are just a few photos from the event. Thanks to all who came out and said hello!

SweetJack fans were eager to sign up for our whitewater rafting giveaway.

Our branded koozies were a popular freebie item with the crowd!

This weekend’s forecast: food, music, horse races and a whole lot of fiesta. Grab your sombrero, or your best derby days hat, because we’ve rounded up a list of events to help you kick off the first weekend of May in a big way!

Out and about with the SweetJack Team!

  • On Sunday, we’re leaving the dog house again to kick off the 10th annual Unplugged in the Park series sponsored by 99X. Free music will start drifting form Park Tavern in Midtown at 7pm. (Must be 21 years of age or older, unless accompanied by a parent.)

Cinco de Mayo!

  • Get the VIP experience! No Mas! Cantina is hosting an all-day Cinco de Mayo celebration with live music, margaritas and mouth-watering food starting at 8am on Saturday. Can’t make it on Saturday? Our sweet deal allows you to skip the party and still have lunch or dinner at half the price anytime. Why not make Ocho de Mayo a fiesta?!
  • On Sunday, salsa on over to Centennial Olympic Park for the 6th annual Fiesta Atlanta, featuring Mariachi music, live performances, Mexican folk dancing, a 5K race, authentic international foods and fun all day long!

A Day at the Races!

  • Watch the action a little closer to Atlanta at South City Kitchen’s Kentucky Derby Viewing Party. Reserve your tickets and brush up on Jack’s horse race fashion tips before you go!

Cheers to the weekend! And I do mean cheers, because a few things are certain this weekend in Atlanta: drinks, music and fun!

Raise Your Glass

Family-friendly Fun

  • Escape the city and head to the Big Top for The World’s Largest Shrine Circus and Midway Carnival in Marietta. The fun lasts all weekend with shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
  • If sitting and watching isn’t your thing, check out Laser Voyage Cafe in Duluth for hours of laser tag fun, rain or shine. Jack’s found a pirate-themed treasure with this deal that gets you a three-game play pass for just $10.

FREE Festivals

  • Check out the Inman Park Festival on Saturday and Sunday for kids’ events, music, dancing, arts and crafts and more. Admission is free for everything except the home tour.
  • Finally, don’t let mealtime spoil your fun (or your wallet!).  Head over to Locos Grill and Pub in Buckhead for 55% Off your meal ($22 to spend)! Hang out, dig in and watch the Braves take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Jack’s counting down the minutes ’til quitting time so he can get started with this weekend’s festivities!
