How&#8217;d the DBF powers-that-be come up with that number?  Well&#8230; The square was more crowded, there were more venues, the [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/09/08/decatur-book-festival-attendance-up-versus-last-year/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>“Why the hell can Columbia, South Carolina, have a really decent book festival and Atlanta, Georgia, cannot?”</title><link>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/08/29/%e2%80%9cwhy-the-hell-can-columbia-south-carolina-have-a-really-decent-book-festival-and-atlanta-georgia-cannot%e2%80%9d/</link> <comments>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/08/29/%e2%80%9cwhy-the-hell-can-columbia-south-carolina-have-a-really-decent-book-festival-and-atlanta-georgia-cannot%e2%80%9d/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:42:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Decatur Metro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Access Atlanta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daren Wang]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Decatur Book Festival]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Decatur Book Festival attendance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tom Bell]]></category><guid

If you&#8217;re a book festival junkie, there&#8217;s probably not much in this article that you haven&#8217;t read before.  However, my love of speculation requires that I point out that Wang and Bell [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/08/29/%e2%80%9cwhy-the-hell-can-columbia-south-carolina-have-a-really-decent-book-festival-and-atlanta-georgia-cannot%e2%80%9d/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>DBF Meets 75,000 Goal</title><link>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2008/09/03/dbf-meets-75000-goal/</link> <comments>http://www.decaturmetro.com/2008/09/03/dbf-meets-75000-goal/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:04:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Decatur Metro</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[30030]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Decatur Book Festival]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Decatur Book Festival attendance]]></category><guid

Funny thing&#8230;that was the EXACT number the DBF publicly hoped for before the festival began.  FREAKY.
