On Dima's Radar — Atlanta live music & events, my taste
On Dima's Radar
ATL events and music — aggregated, researched, and assigned a Dima Score.
Every week, Claude crawls dozens of my favorite venues, museums, and Atlanta newsletters to find what's happening in my city. Then scores it against 15 years of my own Spotify, Facebook, and calendar data. If you live in Atlanta and like live music — or need something to do with young kids — this is for you.

Gravagerz
📍 District Atlanta · 🚗 ~14 min
Gravagerz is the viral story of the year in electronic-adjacent pop — bedroom remixes of Charli XCX and Rihanna turned into 300M+ streams and 7M+ monthly Spotify listeners inside twelve months. The "Bedroom to the World" tour is still routing through club-sized rooms; by next year this plays arenas. Format rarity is the whole pitch here — catch the trajectory while it's still a 21+ warehouse show.

Trancendance — 3-day ecstatic dance, yoga & sound gathering
Fri–Sun Aug 28–30 · Fri 10:00 AM – Sun 6:00 PM
📍 Sacred Mountain Waters Wellness Sanctuary
⏳3d★ Genre Match
Sober, alcohol-free 3-day ecstatic dance and yoga gathering in the mountains north of Asheville — camping, swimming, fire circle, live DJs, sound healing, breathwork. Capped at 300 people. Same practice as Sol Dance, at weekend-immersion length. Two caveats worth being honest about: it is a ~3.5-hour drive each way and it is a camping weekend, so it is a solo or adults trip rather than a Dean-and-Ruby one, despite families being welcome. Day passes are sold, which is the version that fits a normal weekend.

Sat Aug 29 · 8:00 PM
📍 Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre
⏳4d
Former Calibre 50 frontman turned solo star — his title single 'Como En Los Viejos Tiempos' has 294M+ YouTube views. Regional Mexican isn't Dima's core lane, but the production scale and crowd energy at Cobb Energy make this a legitimate group-night pick if the friend circle skews Latin pop.

Calibration & Tracking
Not shown to visitors. Star ratings to calibrate scoring over time, and the invite-round tracker. (Score threshold + scanned inventory moved to Browse — visible to everyone.)
Scoring Calibration
Two independent signals, on purpose: the star rating (1–5, on each event's detail sheet and the scan-results rows above) scores overall quality; the "How was this pick?" chips on an event's detail sheet score whether the recommendation itself was right — nailed it, wrong vibe, bad timing, too far, or just not for you — regardless of whether you actually went. Export bundles both, plus RSVP state, into ratings_feedback.json, which scripts/import_ratings.py reads back in.
