Something about a twit?
Atlanta’s Biggest Twit
Two Decatur-based reading series are mentioned in Candice Dyer’s article on “homespun literary events”: the misleadingly-named WRITE CLUB Atlanta (based out of PushPush) and True Story! (at Kavarna).
Maybe not “Best Of,” but they seemed to like us okay.
Another: Best band to see live: Lucy Dreams. The band lists their home as Decatur and I believe all five members are graduates of Decatur High School.
The recent Lucy Dreams album is quite good and available at Decatur CD.
And that’s the difference between you and me, FM Fats. I only know this band because one of the members’ moms is in my book club.
Yay for Decatur Yoga and Pilates! The very generous and caring owner is a neighbor, and the studio is comfortable and very convenient.
Congrats to all for the recognition!
