In like a Phoenix, Out like a Phoenix, Crazy like a fox

March is such a boring, stupid month.

There’s nothing to do. Whenever you think it’s going to be warm, it’s cold. Whenever you wear a jacket, turns out it’s too warm and you have to carry that same jacket everywhere. If there’s anything worse than that, I don’t know what it is.

St. Patrick’s Day? I’m not Irish and I don’t know anyone who is Irish*, even though my “beard” is red. They don’t even play the Masters in March.

March is a boring, stupid month, and I think the Atlanta Preservation Center agrees with me. Maybe that’s why they decided to do something about it.

A little something I (they) like to call Phoenix Flies!

They’ve got their own logo and website and everything!

(The Atlanta Preservation Center presents)

Even cooler than a logo, a website, and something to do in March: the Wren’s Nest is part of the tour!

For two weekends in March, tours and storytelling are totally free at the Wren’s Nest. Check it out, tell your friends. Kidnap them and bring them along if you have to. Maybe not kidnap.

Phoenix Flies offers a whole mess of stuff that is (a) totally sweet; (b) free; (c) fun; and (d) occasionally educational. So leave the kids at home. Or bring them. Do kids even like education these days?

Regardless, the Wren’s Nest isn’t even half of the fun. There’s so much more courtesy of Rhodes Hall, SCAD, Oakland Cemetery, the ING Marathon, Grant Park Conservency, the Atlanta History Center, etc. I would type more, but I’m getting sleepy.

Please check out the website and plan accordingly.

*not true. Joel Chandler Harris was Irish, and that makes me at least part Irish. That would explain the red beard, or lack thereof.
