Wow, congratulations! That is fantastic. I have one old friend and one crazy aunt in Atlanta. You are welcome to either.

thank you! i just realized though that this kind of dashes plans for the pitchfork festival...and i know you already bought a ticket (as did i and tommy). i'm not sure yet what to do about those cause i know you were going to stay w/ me. any ideas?

we could all split a hotel room...

Try the Flying Biscuit for breakfast.

i used to live there, and i love it.

but just to be clear: no one in "hotlanta" actually calls it that. except for may ironically, and even then with something of a cringe.
oh, i take that back: some radio dj's probably do.

i refuse to call it anything but hotlanta!

The Flying Biscuit is great, but beware long lines on Sundays. I have a friend who works at Cartoon Network who's about your age and knows all the hipster inside info if you need a contact.

She's also on a Roller Derby squad.

what kind of work does the fellowship entail?

basically you are an "associate producer" at cnn.com - publishing stories and photos online, working on online feature packages, etc. at least that's why they tell me. apparently they are soon launching a citizen-journalism section as well, which would be cool to work on. they hope to have that up by hurricane season, cause that's what they want it to be initially used for.

Scott, you know someone who works at Adult Swim? That is impossibly cool. Yes, we definitely need to meet them.

holy crap scott, your friend could kick my ass. but that's awesome, thanks for the offer.

We'll have to hook you two up. Her father and mother are good friends of mine and she gave us a tour of her Turner offices while we were up there recently. She's actually very nice, don't let the roller derby intimidate you. :-)
