Firefighter Justin Sardine Rescues Books
Only in the City of Decatur! Peachtree Publishers had some books that needed “rescuing” so Decatur Firefighter Justin Sardine stepped in to lend a hand. Stop by their booth on the MARTA Plaza and find out what this is all about!
The AJC Decatur Book Festival has begun and will continue through Sunday. The event winds up with a special Sunday night Concert on the Square and a picnic.
See you on the Square…..

I plan on bringing a piece to hang on the clothesline – this is always a very fun event. Nice to mingle with the artists and talk to them about their art. After viewing the artwork, walk up the stairs to Eddie’s Attic for some great music and a beverage.
See you on the Square!

The Decatur Book Festival is trying to recruit Neil Gaiman as the keynote speaker for this year’s festival (Aug. 29-31). Believe it or not, the book festival is on its fourth year. Past keynotes include Arianna Huffington, Charles Frazier, Kinky Freidman and Billy Collins. Gaiman is a sci-fi and fantasy writer and, according to his Wikipedia entry, fans consider him a literary rock star. I’ve never read any of his works, but he sounds like a great fit for the festival – and his headshot would look especially nice on the 2009 AJC Decatur Book Festival promotional poster.
If you’d like to help the book festival convince Neil Gaiman to come to this year’s festival, visit www.decaturbookfestival.com and click on the “Demand it!” button on the homepage. If you’re an avid Gaiman fan you can even add the Demand It widget to your MySpace, Facebook or blog to help spread the word.
