The burning down of the Georgia Theatre in Athens has actually made me much more sad than I expected it to. When my friend JayJay called me this morning to tell me I kind of laughed and thought, "well, it's amazing it took this long to burn down. That place was a freakin' fire trap." But, after reading news reports and looking at pictures all day, I'm actually sad about it. I have seen countless shows and movies at the Theatre. We shot a movie there once. I dated a guy that worked there for a while and would spend hours after it closed hanging out with the staff. I've been over every inch of that building and it's just sad to see it go. I've been thinking a lot about Athens lately and I do realize how much I romaticize that place, but it really was an amazing place to go to school and live for a while. I still have a bunch of friends there and the low cost of living makes me think about moving back from time to time (never paying more than $300 in rent was AWESOME). I'm pretty sure I never will, but it's still nice to think about. The Theatre burning down just makes me remember that nothing ever stays the same!
