    “Man in the Red Shoes” Profiled by ABC

    Decatur Metro | December 19, 2009

    It’s kind of fitting that the man who created “Verb.org” and started the Decatur Book Festival was recently written up in a publication that abbreviated reads “ABC”.  (Yes, I find amusement in the oddest of places.)

    The Atlanta Business Chronicle profiled Decatur’s Daren Wang on Friday, though most of the article is currently behind a firewall.  However, if you have a subscription, you can now learn more about the man who, among other things, built a book festival and convinced a Decatur resident to purchase a beer for over $2,000.  Is there a master’s program for that?

    Oh, and if you’re wondering about the post title, “Man in the Red Shoes” label can be explained by clicking here.
