Holiday Hangover Event Atlanta 1/6
This should be a super sweet event with readings by local writers and other performances. By HydeAtl and VouchedATL—two wonderful organizations. At The Star Bar in L5P Atlanta this Friday.
Here is an excerpt of interview of the readers by Laura Straub:
What kind of winter warmer do you think Santa keeps in his flask?
Matt DeBenedictis: I believe Santa is a coke fiend, and here’s why: Look at him. Look at the image and idea of the jolly man. So here’s this fat sack living in the cold, surrounded by his wife and a bunch of little people who as far as we can tell live to work with him. It’s like he enslaved the Ewoks, shaved them, and put them on a production line. His life is that of a crazy mountain man, until he has to start looking at kid’s good vs. bad vs. has money or doesn’t lists. So he has to all of a sudden slither out of his comfy chair and put the bucket of hot pockets down and perform huge amounts of work to get one of the most magical stories to happen every year, all around the world. Yeah, he’s doing blow the entire time, running up on roofs and breaking into houses.
Least favorite Christmas food staple?
Ben Spivey: I usually eat out or tuna or crackers year round.
Jayne O’Connor: Christmas staples in my family are things like White Castles and caviar (at the same table). I’m always happy.
You should read the whole interview here though.
