Improve your mind! Smash a car!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How often have you been tempted to go to a library or bookstore for a public reading of some author’s work, but secretly wished they could combine it with vast quantities of cathartic destruction?
Hey, me too! Fortunately there’s Duck & Herring, a very offbeat Atlanta literary magazine that is combining a literary reading and a car smashing at 7 p.m. Friday night in the parking lot of the art gallery Eyedrum at 290 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive S., Atlanta. They will provide a junk car and a sledgehammer, although it’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Bat) if you want. You get 5 swings for $1, or two minutes of tension release for $5.
I’m out of town or I would be there!
There will also be some reading from Duck & Herring’s lit mag “Pocket Field Guide for Warm Weather 2008.” Here’s what’s in the latest “Pocket Field Guide,” according to the Duck & Herring website:
“Readers will experience killer, sexy, and funny pieces from fiction talents John Brandon, Aaron Gilbreath, Graham Hillard, Johnny Pence, Mike Sacks, and Michael Stutz; warm-weather recipes from foodie writer Vene Franco and best-seller Emily Giffin; plus, beach bag advice from Catherine Lee, outdoor tips from the entertaining D&H editors, highlights in the night sky, and the best list of seasonal to-dos ever. And it’s all packaged in a newly redesigned super-blue cover, with a nail hole in the upper left-hand corner.”
They will probably sell you a copy if you ask nice and give them $9.
If anybody goes to this and wants to post a report, or even better email me photos, I promise to post them on this blog!
Happy smashing/reading!

Drats! One of those weekends where parents are coming south!
So, like you, I would LOVE to be there but will be nowhere near Atlanta! :((
