This week Atlanta is full of special events, so you will have to choose wisely. Luckily, many of them are free. In fact, there are seven free events this week, including a special night of solos and duets from members of some of the city's favorite groups. There is a big (and free) noise show over at the Goat Farm in preparation for the International Noise Conference, a Buddy Holly tribute show, the launch party for the brand new indieATL TV channel, and four album releases. Lastly, don't forget a chance to give back to others at the benefit for the Atlanta Community Food Bank happening at the Star Bar- bring some canned goods, get in at a discount.
