When the end of the week finally arrived, students refocused their energy to play. Preparations for evening fun began at dusk as girls refined their make-up and tried for a funkier look. Guys put on their dancing shoes, sometimes unwillingly, and donned their drinking caps. Anticipation hoovered in the evening air, for this might be the night TONIGHT...TONIGHT...TONIGHT Whenever students felt the urge to ex- perience Hotlanta on the weekends they found plenty to do. The weekends began on Thursday night (a weekend in the English tradi- tion?) at P.j. Haleys. Many Petrels migra- ted to this Emory area night-spot for an evening of dance and good times. For many of these students, the evening would not have been complete without a stop at that mecca of midnight snacking; Krystai, a place well known for its service and speed. Then came Friday and Satuday (week- end in the American tradition! ) Where did students go...? Buckhead, Virginia High- Suds and Smiles. Rachel Fowler enjoys a Thursday night out at P.|. Haley ' s. Good Times -n- Good Friends. Matt Stein and a fri- end exchange jokes while enjoying a beer at P.l. ' s. lands, and Downtown. Buckhead is a few miles down Peach- tree Road from Oglethorpe, was a popular hangout. Popular nightspots include R ' n R ' USA, Casa Fiesta, Aunt Charley ' s, Churchill Arms, and ofcourse T lunction. Good ol ' Days was perhaps the most popular place in Buckhead, and several professors are known to consider it as a daytime classroom-in-the-field. Lastly, there is Disco-Kroger, in the Limelight shopping center, the playing field for that wonderful sport known as midnight Krogering. Virginian Highlands, another fun destination, allowed adventurous students to conquer a country at Taco Mac, listen to some great bands, and then get fat at The Desert Place. Many topped off their evenings with a greasy burger at The Majestic on Ponce de Leon. Cruising west on Ponce to downtown, the city heat struck with concerts by such musical favorites as Sting and R.E.M., many plays, and special movies. Other attractions in the downtown area include WeekEnds, a place where anything goes, and Club Rio, where individuality rules. Of course.there ' s the Metroplex - but remember, proper leather attire is required! TJ.ph rn 14 NIGHTLIFE
