The host of On Second Thought, Virginia Prescott, is hitting the road for a string of exciting events and intriguing interviews that you won't want to miss.

Pop-up Zine, Tuesday, Oct. 8

As the landscape and population of metropolitan Atlanta continues to shift in the midst of dynamic change, how do all of these different narratives of “Atlanta” coexist as old legacies give way to new generations?

Pop-Up Zine is a night of live, multimedia storytelling featuring local stories that span film, photography, music, radio and Q&A from a range of Atlanta-based contributors. Inspired by the critically-acclaimed national touring show Pop-Up Magazine, Zine is independently produced by volunteers and intended for a hyper-local, intimate audience.

Come see Virginia Prescott contribute to an evening of "performed journalism" infront of one audience, in a camera-free, tweet-free zone.

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 8

Time: 8 p.m.

Place: Windmill Arts Center
