Doug Kirby The Roadside America Project: A Taxonomy For Travel Mirth
Author/publisher/artist Doug Kirby provides a mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes glimpse of 40+ years decoding the world of offbeat roadside attractions in books, periodicals, websites and mobile apps. His weird set of talents, and those of his collaborators on the Roadside America Project, pioneered a spirit and methodology to love (and poke fun at) unique attractions.
Join us for a fascinating side trip on the borders of good taste, through the state of confusion — where giant statues spar for attention, tourist traps grip with spring-loaded merch jaws, and everyone sends “Wish You Were Here” postcards to their pals back home. Quirky, oddball, wacky, weird — the fever dream of a nation.
