This Self-Portrait Will Change Your Life, Week Thirty - "Solar Anus."

We went to Atlanta. We did the Solar Anus and read "Jesus Walks" and "Ira Glass Wants to Hit Me." We drank Miller High Life. And Podcasted. It was quite nice and we will have more soon, for reals, but in the mean time, we have Week Thirty of This Self-Portrait Will Change Your Life, our effort to post one self-portrait per week for one year. You of course can follow the project in its entirety on the Flickr. You can also send us of a self-portrait of yourself and we will post right here on This Blog Will Change Your Life. Not sure if we've mentioned that before, but we will, pinkie swear.

When I Moved to Nevada by Jamie Iredell.

In preparation for the Solar Anus reading tomorrow night in the Atlanta we consumed When I Moved to Nevada by Atlanta-based author, Solar Anus co-host and This Podcast Will Change Your Life participant Jamie Iredell. We are quite happy to report that while it mirrors a variety of similar themes in Iredell's quite impressive Atlanta - bars, fights, drugs and chicks - it is simultaneously more expansive and less claustrophobic which can be at least somewhat attributed to its keen focus on the natural world and its endless permutations. It may go without saying then that we hope you will take a look, but please do, Iredell is doing some unique stuff and who knows, consuming his work as we have just might change your life.

Solar Anus. Yes, it is a reading series, and we will be Solar Anusing with Collin Kelley this Thursday, August 6th in the Atlanta. See you there?

We are quite thrilled to have been invited to read with most excellent poet Collin Kelley as part of the Solar Anus reading series this coming Thursday, August 6th at the Beep Beep Gallery in Atlanta. We think you should be there. We even think it could change your life. So, what do you say, are you in? Nice.
