6/23 Peach Buzz: Fiddle dee dee! Braves plan GWTW night at Turner Field

Remember that time you were at Turner Field and thought, "You know what this joint needs? Civil War soldiers." Well, the Braves were reading your mind. On July 2, they'll team up with the Atlanta History Center and the Margaret Mitchell House for "Gone with the Wind Night" to celebrate the novel's 75th anniversary. Fans who come dressed as their favorite GWTW character will receive a $10 discount off upper box (regularly $18) or outfield pavilion (regularly $28) tickets, and can later show their July 2 Braves ticket stub at the Atlanta History Center or Margaret Mitchell House for $5 off admission to either venue. Pre-game festivities begin at 4:30 p.m. A Scarlett O'Hara impersonator will greet fans and host GWTW trivia, dance instructors will teach the Virginia Reel and Civil War reenactors will pose for pictures. (We do not envy the boys in blue or gray, who will be decked out in wool on what's sure to be another scorcher). Other activities include a Scarlett- and Rhett Butler-lookalike contest, and clips from the movie will be played throughout the game. (Hint: Fans who dress up have an excellent chance of having their image broadcast up on the big screen). The Braves play at 7:10 p.m. but alas, are not playing the Yankees, which would be most fitting. They're playing the Baltimore Orioles. If the Braves don't win, don't fret. Like Scarlett says, tomorrow's another day.

Tom Hanks horses around with B 98.5 team

Actor Tom Hanks stopped by the B 98.5 FM studio Wednesday and cut up for a few minutes with Morning Show crewmembers Vikki Locke, Kelly Stevens and Jessica Forkel. "You are in Julia Roberts country," Locke noted as Hanks sat down to discuss his new movie, "Larry Crowne," which co-stars the Smyrna native. "She brags about it to this day," Hanks quipped. In the movie, which Hanks directed and co-wrote, he plays a middle-age guy who returns to school after losing his job. It comes out July 1. Locke praised the upbeat nature of the movie, given the career and economic straits so many people are in these days. "We fight the cynicism with 'Larry Crowne,'" Hanks said. "All of this comes down to a personal battle between you and your day, and how do you make progress?" (Stevens focused on what was really important: the on-screen smooch between the two stars.) "It's going to win 66 Oscars," Hanks pledged. "They're going to actually add categories. We're going to sweep!"
