Neil Patrick Harris Explained

---

Yikes! I’m sorry for ignoring you, dear reader, for so long. I guess blog readers are like small children: if you stop feeding them, they’ll go away eventually. But we wouldn’t want that to happen, now would we! So, from now on I promise to be a little more consistent.

Today our favorite Joel Chandler Harris-like name is in the news, Neil Patrick Harris. Turns out he’s come out. Google kindly informs me when any of the words “Joel” “Chandler” and “Harris” appear together in an article, so often I get to follow the career of Doogie Hows…Neil Patrick Harris. And now with blogging technology at my fingertips, looks like you’ll be following along as well. Luckily for us, NPH has starred in one of the greatest television shows of all time AND one of the greatest films of all time.

In other news, I’ve been terribly busy. Between office management, power business lunches, and glamour shots for the paper (look for me and Board Chair / photogenically blessed model Marshall Thomas in the AJC on Nov. 12), blogging hasn’t been a priority exactly.

I’ve got a few things to show for my efforts, most notably a friendship with the good folks down at Atlanta Preservation Center as well as a new membership to the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau.

As for the former, you might not know that they offer walking tours of famous neighborhoods in Atlanta. I’ve been on four of them, and I can attest that they are totally sweet.

The ACVB is clearly a very important organization, considering Atlanta is an enormous convention town. Did you know that on an average night you can find 61,000 people staying in hotels in Atlanta? If just two of those people stopped by the Wren’s Nest each day, that would be two more than our current number of zero visitors that we have today.

As always, storytelling is at one, and I’m confident we’ll have plenty of folks trickle in by then.
