Glad to see the Darger event is not on the Children’s Stage.

Definitely plan on checking out Baratunde Thurston’s talk on Saturday morning. The thing about John Kennedy Toole looks fascinating and I’m a fan of Archer, so I have to go see Adam Reed.

Sunday, the thing about Henry Darger looks awesome and I kind of have to be there for Rob Reid’s talk about his book, “Year Zero,” which everyone should come check out.

OMG — MUTTS! featuring Patrick McDonnell, who uses his syndicated comic strip to support shelter adoptions of orphan animals.

Wait! What about the Kidnote speaker on Friday? http://atlantaplanit.com/events/event.php?eid=49045

Is that happening? I thought it looked pretty cool.

Mr. Lark–You probably know Joseph Crespino. He lives here in town and is married to folk-singer extraordinaire Caroline Herring.

The book is a serious history, neither a loving portrait nor a hit job, but instead an examination of his impact on national politics.
