Colonnades Unveiling!
Hey, friends, even if you don’t live near Elon, North Carolina, you should still be aware that our Pacemaker award-winning art and literary magazine Colonnades is having its annual spring unveiling tomorrow. TOMORROW! And you’re invited, free of charge, to share in the splendor of the arts with us, the editors and the artists.
Where is this shindig going down?: 201 W. Trollinger Ave, AKA Trollinger House, AKA The Abbey (old though), AKA that place with the glassed-in porch across the train tracks from West End Station.
When?: 7:00PM sharp, so don’t be late!
Will there be snacks?: Maybe, don’t count on us to fill your evening bellies to the max, though.

Check it, y’all. Fire is a crazy thing, but it can make great photos. I just hope anyone affected by these wildfires in Texas is okay.

Killing mourners isn’t the best thing to do, Syrian military.
