Start Here: A Field Guide to Going AFK

Welcome to AFK ATL — your cultural compass for finding real things to do in the real world (yes, it still exists). Whether you’re local, newly relocated, or just passing through with taste, you’re in the right place.

What is AFK ATL?

We’re an editorial-first events and lifestyle platform for people who hate traditional event calendars but still want something to do this weekend. We don’t list everything. We list the good stuff — curated by actual humans with opinions, standards, and probably too many tote bags.

Here’s What You Can Do Right Now:

• See What’s Happening Today – Our real-time event feed for the truly spontaneous (or calendar-averse).
• Plan This Weekend – Curated picks that are actually worth leaving your house for.
• Need a Date Night Idea? – We’ve got whole collections for that. And ones for girls’ weekends, kid chaos, and food comas too.
• Explore by Neighborhood – Buckhead to Decatur, OTP to Westside — we’ve got you mapped out.
• Submit Your Own Event – Host something cool? Don’t gatekeep it.
• Sign Up for the Weekly Digest – Less spam, more glam. Delivered every Thursday-ish.

AFK = “Away From Keyboard”

This site isn’t about algorithms or endless swipes. It’s about rediscovering how fun the real world can be when someone does the hard part of curating it for you. That’s us. You’re welcome.

AFK ATL is not just a site. It’s a lifestyle. A resistance. A vibe.
