EVERYONE CALM DOWN

29 Sep

Wow, what a week – and it’s only Monday! But don’t worry, everything will go back to normal! Remember last year when we thought we would have no water ever again, and we sort of don’t but we still take 20 minute showers like it doesn’t matter? And how even today we are basically out of gas but everyone still drives everywhere all the time and we’ll just use grosser gas so it doesn’t matter?

And let’s not all freak out about Creative Loafing’s delicate financial state right now. Everyone has that second cousin who’s filed for bankruptcy at least half a dozen times and still drives a nicer car than you do and owns a jade baby grand piano. Maybe it’s like that! Bankruptcy doesn’t have to mean $0. And perhaps this will be a time for CL to reevaluate its terrible logo and horrendously orange website and go for something a bit more demure while it’s trying to beef up the online action.

Meanwhile, our governor galivants around Spain and Italy on a $50,000/head “economic development” tour, which everyone knows is code for “retracing Diane Lane’s travels to self-discovery in Under the Tuscan Sun.” (He loves that movie.) Oh yeah, the woman who wrote that book is from Georgia so it’s a totally legit trip!

    If CL is looking for a new identity, I hope they ask Epidemik Coalition.

    This is why Fulton County/Metro Atlanta is not invited to the revolution. Defect! Defect! :)

    We still don’t have any water. Lake Lanier is as low as it has ever been for this time of year.

    Wake up people! We’re living on the edge. It would not take much for gas and water shortages to turn us upside down.
