Join us as we acknowledge -- in an outdoor, real-life forum -- the release of the novel 'The Dashing Diner,' all while retracing some of the so-called Dashing Diner’s steps, recalling a fun (and even award-winning) Atlanta reading series lost to time, and appreciating the Beltline masses ...

More about 'The Dashing Diner' here.

From Jamie: “We’ll meet at the appointed time at that busy area near Murder Kroger at those long tables under the thing to the east of Ponce City Market (site of an infamous heist by the so-called Dashing Diner), and after a chat and a little reading from the novel we’ll descend into the Beltline masses of walkers, joggers, lovers, families, dogs, cyclists, skateboarders, musicians, hoverboardists, roller-bladers, etc., and walk south, stopping along the way for more reading. As we stroll, we’ll chat about The Dashing Diner, life, food, Atlanta, love, magic, The Very First Reading Series, and whatever else that comes up, like perhaps why cyclists still think they have the right-of-way on the Beltline when it has been made clear, over and over, that pedestrians have the right of way and if you want to ride your bicycle really fast maybe you should quit fighting the Beltline fight and just go ride somewhere else, yeah? We’ll continue to Barcelona in Inman Park, site of the first-ever heist by the Dashing Diner, where we’ll maybe get a drink or go someplace else or just say goodbye.”
