Leaving on the Midnight Train to Georgia
2010 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
Okay, so it’s more like the mid-day flight to Atlanta (whose airport, I’m pretty sure, is home to the fifth circle of hell), but that’s not nearly as snappy.
I’m heading out today to spend the weekend at the Decatur Book Festival to enjoy Jonathan Franzen delivering a keynote talk tonight—I’ve just started Freedom and so far, so good—and to present on a panel entitled Where Do I Go From Here?: Getting Your Book Noticed tomorrow morning at 10am. I’m honored to be alongside fellow presenters Ron Hogan, Julie Schoerke, and Stephen Usery, and if you’re in the area, I’d love to have you there.
I’m hoping to squeeze in a few indie bookstore visits and would appreciate suggestions (and recommendations for nearby restaurants) if you got ‘em.
In the meantime: assuming Freedom lives up to the hype, what kind of panties do you think are most appropriate for throwing?

Have a safe and successful trip!

Have a great (and safe!) trip. I agree, I’m pretty sure the Atlanta airport is pretty close to hell!

Crotchless ones, because that Franzen seems to be a guy that is a step or two off the beaten path. Can’t wait to hear about that book…I loved The Corrections for all of its dysfunction and misery. Have a great trip!

I wish I had known you were coming! (Did I miss something earlier on your blog?) I’m shooting a wedding tomorrow, so I can’t make your presentation. Where are you staying? I might have some restaurant recommendations to send your way…but off the top of my head – for the area – Watershed and Brick Store Pub are two I’d highly recommend. Have fun & good luck!!! Elisabeth
If only my trips to Georgia were organized around my wishes instead of the clients
Wish I could go too, sounds wonderful. Have a great time and good luck presenting. And oh yeah, the airport is pretty bad – but worse if connecting through so hopefully you’ll be OK.

Granny panties – I’m pretty sure Patty doesn’t wear anything very colorful!
Have a fun trip!

And . . . now I have that song stuck in my head.
Oh, the Atlanta airport. The hours and hours I’ve spent there . . . Good luck!
You’re right about the airport, but like Amy said, it’s worse when you actually have to run through the whole thing to catch a connecting flight. Arriving there shouldn’t be too awful, I hope.
Have a great trip!
