You and me and ol' Tennessee

Jeff and I went to the last bit of the Tennessee Williams Festival yesterday. We made it just in time for the STELLA-A-A! contest, and it was worth the walk and the heat and the awkward crowd.

I'm reading Region, Race, and Cities: Interpreting the Urban South. It fits well. Here's a quote to munch on and probably the reason I couldn't live long-term past the Mason-Dixon Line:
"Yankees always make the mistake of going home the moment they realize they are going mad, which is why they have never understood the South. They do not grasp the simple fact that losing one's mind is the most important prerequisite for fitting in with southerners." -F. King, Southern Ladies and Gentlemen
