It had been about two months since we had a party in Atlanta, and the city's media professionals turned out in full force for the August 5 gathering. About 70 media professionals showed up at Lit Kitchen, one of Atlanta's coolest private events venues. Writers, editors, broadcast professionals, and other media types enjoyed delicious edibles courtesy of talented chef Carmen Cappello, and cocktails from a long list of libations, while listening to DJ-spun beats.
