Introduction

My name is Matt and I am a 14 year resident of Athens, Georgia. I am also a musician, graphic designer, husband and dad. I went to too many colleges, have had too many managers and been to too many too loud concerts. Most of this has occured during my time in the hometown of R.E.M., the University of Georgia, Zaxby's and (as of this post) Knowshon Moreno. Needless to say, I could wax nostalgiacally about my experiences in this sleepy(?) college town for too long. But that's not what The Book Of Athens is going to be about. At this point, I have a few ideas of how I want to do this thing. But the jist of it is that I want this blog to be a bulletin board for YOUR favorite stories and memories of being, living, working or visiting Athens.
See, the problem is that there's nowhere on the internets to find a living history of Athens that encompasses everything that this town is about. Music, football, bars, school, work. It's all a part of my town and I want to hear everyone's stories.
So, use the comments section, email me, send links and link to me to spread the word about The Book Of Athens: Written by You.
