The Clermont


From todays AJC's Peach Buzz :
" Actors Woody Harrelson, in town shooting the movie “Zombieland,” and Bill Murray, here working on the film “Get Low,” have both been spotted taking in the, um, sights at the Clermont Lounge.We hear from sources at the legendary Ponce de Leon Avenue exotic dancing landmark that Murray was enjoying two popular beverages at the infamous dive bar: Pabst Blue Ribbons and bargain whiskey from the bartender’s well rack.
Alas, we’ve been unable to confirm whether Murray or Harrelson have as yet been treated to a poetry reading/lap dance from Blondie, the club’s most famous dancer."
For any k+blog readers who are not aware of what exactly this place is... it's sort of the very last dive bar left in Atlanta.. and a place ,where by location or cheapness , a whole lot of gay men, and hipster types ,  go to watch heroin addicted middle age ( or older ) ladies sort of strip, I don't think they get all the way nekkid... but I really was only there for Miss Blondie's Poetry readings. It is sort of the bar you end up at. I think B. Day's or Susan's bachelorette party ended up there.. could be wrong on that one, too....
Yes, an odd mix, but seems to work. It has been in Atlanta for ever.... 
DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE OF A DELICATE NATURE:
( but its pretty darn funny...)


Made the mistake of going to ATLANTA TIME MACHINE to find this pick... half an hour later, I am back... I would wait till a rainy day if you have never been....

It was your 30th birthday party, and you insisted on going there!
Maybe your 35th.

The bartender nails it: surreal (like a David Lynch movie). And you don't have to watch your posture, as Dick would say.

If my whole priest thing doesn't work out, I'm gonna relocate to ATL and apply for a job here. I'm just sayin'
