Glow Glow Friendship
Last Saturday night I took part in a great Atlanta tradition - the Stone Mountain Park Laser Show Spectacular. Sarah, Mary, Mary Lee and I packed up a picnic, grabbed some blankets and sweaters and went East. We got to the park an hour or so before sunset and ate dinner on the lawn in front of the mountain.
Kids around us played football or made limbo bars out of seven or eight glow necklaces. We bought a few necklaces ourselves, but of course turned them into bracelets.
The laser show kicked off at 9 a.m. with (what else?) P!nk's "Get the Party Started." It was an hour of lasers and fireworks to such great American classics as "Proud to be an American" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" (natch). It ended with a laser version of Stonewall Jackson and comrades riding off into the sunset before returning to their immortal, enduring engraved spot on the mountain.
It was so redneck and so Georgia and me, my friends and our glow glows loved every second of it.
