And thus begins this year's Atlanta visitation by the iconoclastic Brad Warner, author of Hardcore Zen and numerous other books. He'll be signing books in Little Five Points Friday night as well as participating in an informal panel discussion, and speaking at the Atlanta Soto Zen Center (ASZC) at 10:30 Sunday morning.

Monday night, he'll be speaking at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, and on Tuesday night, he'll be returning to the ASZC for zazen and a talk. After that, I understand he's off to Nashville and they can worry about him up there.
