Don’t  miss out on Clint Zeagler’s Lecture at Pecha Kucha on March 8 at Octane.  Dali : Dolly :: Surrealism : Tacky.  Are surrealism and tacky really the same thing?  Why does one seem so fancy and the other seem so uneducated?  Dolly and Dali will help us answer this question.

True Original : Sherri Cash

In today’s society one has to search long and hard for a true original, a person who posses authentic uniqueness. Inspired by seeing a couple of instances such as the AJC my style segment on Eula Adams

Here Sherri Cash shows off her fifty dollar pasta salad. I asked her for the recipe and she said you take fifty dollars to the supermarket and listen to the universe, but be sure to buy pasta as well.

THE $50 PAST SALAD CASH-ROLL BALLAD

by Sherri Cash

Once she had money
now she don’t.
What most folks don’t know
is give up, she won’t.

Once rich
now poor.
One thing she’s not
is a drag or a bore.

Once she got spunky
and created something funky,
Just like “The Jerk”
she didn’t have to work.

Just kept makin’ pasta salad
to create this little ballad,
next thing you know
she had a “BIG CASH-ROLL”
When pressed for a recipe she offered up this version:

Better watch out, Better not cry, Better getchyafanny out!, I’m telling you why . . . Fisher Meehan is coming to town

If you’ve ever heard me tell about Fisher’s music, you’ve likely heard me say, “he elevates” when describing his performance. ‘Tis true. And he prefers to play barefooted.

Fisher came to Atlanta about two years ago but then left us for snowy areas. He’s coming down for a visit and I’ve designed a little concert for the event.

Come out to L5P on the 27th. You’ll find a Star Bar full of fun-loving people and exceptional music. You already know how we feel about Ocha la Rocha, and I asked one of my favorite Atlanta bands, Molotov Pipedream, to play too.

Forewarning: due to the cold, Fisher may have to wear socks.

Be warm with us this holiday season!

POSTCARD: Town House Restaurant

Dear Reader,

This was my Nana’s restaurant in Sylvania GA.  After this picture was taken a pie factory was added onto the back of the building, where my grandfather baked the world’s largest peanut pie, as documented by the Guiness Book of World Records.

Lot’s of Love

Andi’s Book Club : Twilight Series

twilightcover.jpg

If you’ve been in a bookstore at all in the past year, you have probably seen Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer ( WEBSITE ). The cover is black with a pair of snow white hands cradling a tantalizing red apple. Having a semi-secret penchant for vampires, I decided to check it out. The story is easy and immediately fun to read. Although it is riddled with teen angst, Meyer’s character development and choice of setting, rainy Forks, Washington, drew me in enough to overlook the sometimes tedious melodrama. Before I knew it, all 544 pages of Twilight were over and I was clamoring for the next book, New Moon. A little disappointing and a little long (608 pages), I stuck it out with New Moon and in the end there was enough to pull me into the third installment, Eclipse. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first and was happy to have it propel me into the fourth. But if you, reader, make it that far, don’t bother with the fourth and final novel, Breaking Dawn. It promises a lame plot and stupid character names. Okay, really just one supremely dumb name, but couple that with a disappointing story line and see how you feel. I almost put the book down without finishing. It really sucks to end a series with a rotten tomato like Stephenie Meyer did with Breaking Dawn because it taints the whole series. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this series to anyone because I was so disappointed in the end, even though there were some strong moments. Twilight was a great first book, but it led me into the second which sealed my fate. My final verdict: skip it.
