Last chance for anyone who would like unfettered access to DM’s live-blog during the Decatur Book Festival.

Just send your name and email address to decaturite [at] gmail.com and I’ll send you the necessary invite to participate without any moderation barriers.

As noted before, anyone can participate in the live-blog, it’s just that comments will be sent to moderation before posting.

As the widget to the left states, the live-blog will go live at 7:30p tonight for Sir Harold Evans’ keynote address.  It will then be “stuck” to the top of the page for the remainder of the weekend.  New regular posts will appear BELOW this live-blog post, so don’t think that just because the live-blog is still up top it means the site hasn’t been updated since your last visit.

UPDATE: Also, I will reiterate my call for long-form reports on speakers at the festival.  Type ‘em up and email them in and I’ll make sure they get posted.  If you want to use your full name and/or link to your website, just let me know!

The Decatur Book Festival will close it’s activities on Sunday with a picnic at 6pm on Decatur Square, featuring southern and international cuisine. For $10, here’s what you can get…

Southern Foodways Alliance presents a picnic that combines flavors from around the globe to create a unique culinary experience that is excitingly foreign and comfortingly familiar at the same time. Southern mainstays will get cozy with exotic international dishes. Tacqueria del Sol will serve fried chicken tacos and turnip greens, Bhojanic will serve cornbread and okra, Noodle will serve green bean tempura, rice pudding, and ginger tiramisu, Pura Vida will serve goat mofongo, and caterer Nassima Neighbors will serve chicken curry with rice, samosas, and yams. Attendees will be able to enjoy this delectable combination of 12 items for just $10 per plate.
