…in the dirty south….

I don’t always love Atlanta, but sometimes I’m really happy I live here. Last night was one of those times.  Because last night was my  first ever Hot Summer Literary Car Smashing.

Yes, that’s what I said.  Hot. Summer. Literary. Car. Smashing.

There were cold cans of beer, and readings atop the old junker that was to be smashed.  There were kids and sledgehammers (always a good combination).  There was a parking lot full of gravel for Mose to play with, and there was a lot of art.

Oh, and of course there was grape soda.

You fancy folks can keep your wine and cheese, your carefully lit galleries and hush-hush bookstores.  Here in Hotlanta we know it’s about writing and reading and playing.  And more than anyone , the  wonderful people of the  wonderful Duck & Herring Co. know how to play.

It was a time.
