Outside Event 3

My third outside event was held at the Otherlands Cafe on 641 South Cooper Street. It was a great atmosphere filled with people who seemed pretty comfortable. I have to say that the chair I sat in did not make me feel comfortable. But I digress, the story that was read was a nonfiction creative writing. The writing was based off of a personal experience that the author had about a taxi cab stopping in the middle of the intersection of Poplar and Walnut Grove. She went on to write about a man that created an art structure that is located near the intersection. The Pangean Disk was created by Roy Tamboli in 1992. It went on to become the largest steel sculpture in Memphis. The author went on to explain the significance of the various parts of the structure. The two parts that stuck out the most were the babies made of wax and plaster in the support strut and the prayer rods that protruded skywards from various major cities around the world located on the sculpture. the only part of the story that really confused me was the random story about Pandora and the box that held all the evils of the world. In my opinion she did not need to go that in depth with the Roman gods. Overall I enjoyed the story.
