The protest/read-in at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Building began this morning at 10. I ran down to check it out. So far, a small but determined group has assembled. A nice media presence was present reporting on the event. Tom Key, the king of Atlanta theater and head of The Theatrical Outfit, was reading aloud from To Kill a Mockingbird, The Moviegoer, and other works. That was cool enough on its own to warrant a crowd. The one misstep, and I’m quibbling, Tom Key said in his intro to The Moviegoer that if left to bloggers the book probably would not have received the recognition that it deserves. WTF? Everyone in the blogosphere totally blew it on The Road this year, right? Tom, it’s not an either/or scenario. ANYWAY, I had to dash back for a meeting. I’m going to go back out during lunch and see how its going. I’ll post more (and better) pictures this evening.
