Kat Hagan and Drew Dominey, two emerging Atlanta Artists will be hosting a closing reception for their show, Doin’ What We Do, this Friday, March 28th at the Hushpuppy Gallery, starting at 7 PM.
Here’s your directions…379 Woodward, near 6 Feet Under in Grant Park.

The entire show will be on display, in addition to a select number of brand new pieces. Visitors to the gallery will also be able to participate in a Silent Auction on many of the pieces. Additionally, popular local music act, Le Sexoflex, will be performing at the gallery at 8PM.

Le Sexoflex has performed to several near capacity crowds and even appeared on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie soundtrack, and will be doing an “acoustic” version of their stage show in an intimate setting for this special event.

I’m goin’ just to see the self-proclaimed “sexiest band in the world” performing acoustically…otherwise, Kat and Drew are remarkably talented artists - catch ‘em before they blow up!

Steve Palm, Atlanta’s resident “residential” real estate statistics guru over at his firm, Smart Numbers, posted his latest analysis this week. He studied the metropolitan Atlanta submarkets through February, and here are the highlights…

“The year-to-year percent change for homes going under contract has trended favorably so far in 2008. If housing comes back in 2008, this trend will continue to improve and be our first indicator. If it does, it will improve quickly.”

“The monthly year-to-year percentage decline for both single family detached and condos & townhomes are the greatest on record (since the mid-nineties).”

“There were 5,925 expired total single family listings in February. Combined with January’s expired listings, there have been 1,700 more expired listings than the same year ago period. There have been 13,516 expired listings for all single family through February 2008, which is almost as many as there were in ALL 1999.”
