Brookhaven Arts Festival
It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. The air was cool. The Falcons won. Before you knew it four o’clock arrived. It was too late to go the festival downtown. PG threw a few layers on, put air in his tires, and took off to downtown Brookhaven.
The Brookhaven Arts Festival is not that big. PG chained his bike to a telephone pole, and took off on foot. Before long, he heard the band, GLOW. They were playing “Joy to the world”. A few nights before, PG met someone named Jeremiah at a party. “You don’t look like a bullfrog”.
The stage was the site of a pre-Marta recording studio. A phantom mirrored ball spun overhead as the band played “Boogie Oogie Oogie”. GLOW is a gaggle of singers, backed by guitar, bass, and keyboards. The third number was “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The lady singer got higher than Freddie Mercury ever dared. Mama, life has just begun.
GLOW finished playing. The MC said the festival was over. PG started to ride down Peachtree View, past the site of the purple house. A parking garage is under construction now. The purple house had a purple van in front, with big green letters that said “Greedy Developers Suck”.
Dinner, at the Swallow and Suffer, followed the festival. There was an unexpected twist. PG got veal parmesan, instead of chicken fingers. Sometimes, you need to try new things. Uzi said the next step would be signing up for cable television.
PG had looked for the health department paperwork on the way in, and found an open Bible instead. The HD score was behind the cash register. You don’t see it until you are ready to leave. The score, eighty one, should have been ninety. The cook was wearing a watch. Nine points were taken off.

-HA
Sounds like a good day.
What a GREAT day, GLOW the Show Band was a HUGE grand finale to a beautiful day!!!
You absolutely nailed it with this piece. “Mama, life’s just begun…” It had, hadn’t it? Wonderful:)))
The “Mama” quote was tacked on during the editing process. There were three words in a line by themselves, and I didn’t like the way it looked. I added the lyrics so the line of text would go further to the right. A word, or two, sitting by itself at the end of a paragraph is known as a widow. Usually, it means to take out a word or two in the sentence above the widow. Often, this makes the writing better.
That sounds like a cooler day than I ever seem to have.
There is a interesting, hallucinogenic quality to this piece. Groovy.
