Atlanta Intown Features the Wren’s Nest


Written on May 29, 2007 at 9:49 am, by Lain

Last night Carson and I were doing a little research at Neighbors Pub in Virgina-Highland and we came across the June issue of Atlanta Intown.

Atlanta Intown Wren's Nest

Looks like all those glamour shots paid off! Carson and I probably couldn’t get anymore famous.

Props to Atlanta Intown writer, Wren’s Nest researcher, and girl I sat next to in ninth grade geometry Mary Logan Barmeyer. Great article–though next time let’s find a picture where my eyes aren’t so squinty.

Also, Carson isn’t just any intern from Chicago. As far as I’m concerned, she is THE intern from Chicago. Nice pirate pants, Carson.

At press time the June issue of the paper isn’t available online, so I guess you’ll have to pick up a copy around town. I usually find them at Java Monkey, but they’re pretty ubitiquitous inside the perimeter.

    i think those are actually palazzo pants, from our junior high bar-mitzvah days (http://www.riversedgedancewear.com/papaandle.html)

  4. Carson says:

    Wrong, Lloyd Farklenkuh!

    Did anyone notice how Lain’s vintage tee makes him look like a young, hip, house museum hero?

    Hey thanks, Deb. I hope so too…we’re finding out that the month of May is pretty dead around here. Everyone is finishing up school, nobody is in camp yet, and vacation season hasn’t quite started.

    So, if you (all of you!) are interested in touring the Wren’s Nest, now’s a great time for you to come and get a great personal tour.

  6. Deb says:

    I’ll keep that in mind Lain. I almost stopped by the other day. Personally I wish the fest wasn’t on a Friday since I have to work. I understand why, but it is still a bummer.

    BTW, do you and/or Carson accept dinner invitations from your blog admirers? Love to have you over for dinner sometime.

  7. lain says:

    Actually, Deb, being terribly busy and terribly important and not to mention famous, we don’t.

    However! What we do do (ha!) is invite people over to grill kosher hot dogs on our new Wren’s Nest grill, Smokey Joe. You, of course, are welcome to come over the next time we fire up lil’ ole Joe. I’ll let you know when it’s goin’ down.

  8. Deb says:

    Coolio. I’ll bring buns. And the dinner offer still stands.

  9. ATL says:

    1. Squinty eyes are nothing to sneeze at.
    2. I recommend Best’s Kosher, with mustard, onion, and pickle. No ketchup! (Do people do ketchup down here? Because someone wise and oddly judgmental once told me that putting ketchup on a hot dog is sacrilege. You may know her from Gampel Pavilion.)

  10. Deb says:

    ATL, I don’t know who you are but I 100% agree. Ketchup on a hot dog is a crime against man and God. The only kind of condiment that should go on a dog is mustard. Now as to the kind I am flexible but I believe it should be brown or yellow, but Grey Poupon is right out. I also believe that the only form of cabbage that should go on a dog is saurkruat (sp). Coleslaw is just wrong.

  11. lain says:

    I know who ATL is, and she’s something of a Chicago Dog Snob. Which is fine with me; luckily for her, she doesn’t live far from Skip’s, which makes the best hot dog in Avondale / town.

  12. Laurie says:

    Have I been to Gampel Pavilion?

  13. Lloyd Farklenkuh, Manager, Club Calypso says:

    i love onions and ketchup on my hotdogs and i don’t care what anyone says!!!

    speaking of which, i haven’t had one in a while…can we fire up lil’ ole joe this weekend on my maiden voyage to atl?

  14. lain says:

    Ta–Lloyd, consider it done. And yes, Laurie, you have.

  15. Tom M. says:

    Long live the Uncle Remus Stories!!! Have a nice Day…
