Greetings from the Decatur Book Festival! We hope you all are having a fantastic Saturday morning (egads! I mean afternoon- already!). I’ve been milling around the Square all morning and Cath has been hard at work at the City Hall events.
For you non-locals/new AsianCajun readers, Cath and I tend to blab about our adopted hometown of Decatur, Georgia. Decatur cozies up to Atlanta on the east (we are 6 miles from downtown ATL), and this weekend we happen to be the host of the largest book festival in the South East. If you need a quick visual of Decatur, imagine Stars Hallow in Gilmore Girls, add a few thousand people and a little more diversity, and you have Decatur.
For you locals that might have stopped by the Blogger Tent, I apologize if I wasn’t there! Being the prepared person that I am, I forgot my card reader and had to run home so that I could upload the likes of these (see below!):
If you stop by The Wren’s Nest tent you should also take a look at this literary journal (no, not just because I designed the cover- [fluttering eyelashes]). A group of fantastic high school students wrote, designed, and compiled the journal during the summer. Pretty fantastic work for anyone, let alone 16 year olds- most impressive.
My Book Festival accoutrements: festival program, leather purse and sunnies, and a stack of books to hull around.
Apart from the Wayfarer’s Journal, I picked up the rest of the books at the Eagle Eye Books tent- the friendliest booksellers- go check ’em out!
I hope to run into some of you guys on the Square!
psst! I’m not blogging from the Blogger tent at the moment. I am actually [glances around furtively] sitting in the quiet and beautiful office where the Mayor usually works! I brought my Mac up here because the blogger tent is a bit crowded and it’s cool and quiet away from the fray. Ooo the perks of having a twin who works for the beautiful city of Decatur. Thanks, Mr. Mayor!
Hope you all are having a fab Saturday! More hurried posts to come!
xoxo,
Lar

Hey Lar, looks like you’re having a great time! That photo with the Wild Thing is so great- I can’t wait for the movie to come out! Hope you ladies have a great long weekend!!
Oh wow. What fun! Decatur is where it’s at this weekend!
Lar, you look so adorable with your new wild thing buddy! Oh and I love your shoes, I need to find some awesome new shoes soon.
I tried and couldn’t find the wild thing! 🙁
Oh how fun! That Wild Thing is too cute, pretty sure I would’ve giggled non-stop next to him. Great cover design, Lar! And cute dress, missy!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙂

Ahh Where the Wild Things Are!!! So jealous!!! I love that dress! Where is it from?!
This looks like a great time! I wish Wellington had something similar to this. It’d be great to be surrounded by so much literary creative-ness. Not a word I know. Don’t trash the Mayor’s office now. That’d be naughty. But do open a few drawers.
oh, you look too adorable beside the wild thing! Hope you’re having the loveliest weekend, Lar:)
great work on the cover! sounds/looks like a lot of fun.
ps. that mustache looks like it takes dedication
Adorable photo of you with the Wild Thing!
I did stick my head into the Blogger tent — darn I missed you!
(Aka: Ciambellina)
Sounds like a lot of fun:)
Love the photo with the WildThing:) hehe

Hey!
One of my friend’s sent me a link here because she thinks I deserve to be the third member of your group. I’m one quarter Japanese (grandmother on my mom’s side is from Kyoto and my mother was born in Tokyo). I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA so I grew up with the cajun culture though genetically I’m not really cajun. Oddly enough, I now live in GA. I’m finishing up my bachelors at UGA so I live in Athens. Anyway, I’m totally jealous and wanna be an asian cajun, too. If you ever decide to expand to a trio, then consider this my application.
The wild thing is so sweet!!!
BTW, you look awesome with that dress. great outfit.
Kisses!
That picture with the Wild Thing is so cute!
