Horror Hotel
The premiere season of Horror Hotel is completed and will be screening on the 26th. I was in the Invader segment and had a blast with all the makeup; I love the retro look and sound. Event details

Guests at the hotel include aliens, androids, ghosts, psychotic killers, gangsters and other interesting characters of society.

Atlanta art critic Jerry Cullum selected I Go Humble "to celebrate the breadth and accomplishment of alumni." The showcase includes the works of art from GSU's Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design an runs through September 27, 2013. Opening reception: Thursday, September 5, 5 - 8pm. Video from the original street event is here.

Events
Brown Bag Marketing
This month I'm back in the agency saddle as I begin working at Brown Bag Marketing as a senior technical project manager. I've always fancied working for an Atlanta company that was literally on Peachtree Street and Brown Bag is, smack in the middle of Buckhead, at the Roswell Split. I think I will also love being 5 minute walk from Fado Irish Pub.
Plains, Georgia
After 30+ years in Georgia, I finally made it down to Plains this month. My folks were in town and we checked out the Jimmy Carter Museum there, his boyhood home, and the train depot that served as his campaign headquarters for his presidential run. He really had chutpaz to even attempt a presidential campaign from such humble origins. National Historic Site.
Warm Springs, Georgia
A history lesson I never got (or forgot): years before he was president, FDR was coming to Warm Springs (Bullochville at the time) for relief from the adult-onset polio from which he suffered. He enjoyed it so much that in 1932 he bought a small farm that became his 'little whitehouse.' He was there in 1945, working on a speech and sitting for a portrait, when he suffered his brain hemmorage...in this very chair and desk which are still there. This State Historic Site also has a very good museum and maintains the estate as it was when he lived there.
