Atlanta's media elite gathered on a balmy summer night at one of our favorite hotspots—East Andrews Café, in the heart of Buckhead—to sip cocktails, munch munchies, and, of course, discuss the issues of the day in the media world. As usual, we had our fair share of trusty mb veterans, as well as some noteworthy newcomers—including Thomas Boc, editor-in-chief of soon-to-be launched Atlanta Life magazine, yet another addition to the growing legion of glossies based in our fair city.
