Moving On

ATHENS’ FAVORITE

On the Street You may have heard on the street that Flagpole has to relocate our offices. That’s how we heard it, too, not from our landlord. Remember the Sigma Chi fraternity, whose house on Lumpkin Street was taken over by UGA for a hefty settlement?

The Sigma Chis tried to insert themselves onto Milledge Avenue across from the Cobbham neighborhood, but those articulate, well connected neighbors wanted no part of the fraternity, and the brothers were repelled. Now, the Sigma Chis are buying the building that has housed Flagpole for the last 20 years over here on Foundry Street, and we’ve got to move, so we’re looking for new space.

As this side of town has made fitful attempts to gentrify, we’ve known it was just a matter of time. The expansion of the Classic Center, the influx of student apartments, the aborted “River District” and now Selig City just below us meant that our building was sure to follow, though nobody expected a fraternity house. The Selig residents will just have to deal with the late-night party bands booming down the hill.

The arts and their adjuncts always live on the fringe in the low-rent district, and they always make their area attractive, which eventually makes it more expensive until finally the arts can’t afford it anymore.

After the big stores left, there were artists’ lofts and band practice spaces all over downtown, but they’re long gone, and Starbucks inhabits the second 40 Watt Club space.

No need to question whether this is good or bad; it just is, and always has been. Last week I mentioned the forthcoming new Athens history book, The Tangible Past of Athens, We bid a fond farewell to Flagpole on Georgia. The book is a fasFoundry Street before long. cinating narrative about how Athens has changed over the years, but one chapter in particular will astound you with its discussion and photographs of the mansions that stood along Thomas Street and Pulaski Street until the expansion of the downtown business district took them down.

Through the years, Flagpole has skittered around on the fringes of downtown, first in Rick Hawkins’ print shop, then to a space in Athens Stamp & Engraving on Broad Street, then in offices adjacent to Gene Dixon’s bike shop, where UGA’s Broad Street Studios are now and finally down to our present Foundry Street location. We hope to remain in or near downtown, but we may no longer be able to afford to live in the area we have promoted so tirelessly over the years. We have succeeded too well!

Off the Street Speaking of having to move, Hendershot’s Coffee Bar, as we all know, had to leave the westside space they had worked so hard to develop from an old gas station. Happily, they have landed on Prince Avenue in The Bottleworks, and it looks like a great fit for both. Saturday night, people of all ages were enjoying Athens Tango Project and Quiabo De Chapeu, filling the joint with Latin rhythms that drew dancers out onto the floor. Athens Tango Project was actually playing by around 8 p.m. and Quiabo De Chapeu was in full swing no later than 9 p.m., leaving time to go home and go to bed or go on to the next show.

Seth Hendershot is so well connected and well respected in the music scene that he has made Hendershot’s a versatile venue for all kinds of music and people. And he has that Athens touch for creating a place where you want to hang out. Now, in addition to the coffee, whiskey, wine and beer (Murphy’s stout and Terrapin Hopsecutioner on draft!) there are tasty sandwiches, burgers and salads. The move has made Hendershot’s better than ever. Here’s hoping the same for Flagpole.

Say what you want about the murky circumstances surLights for now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re counting on this money, or we might rounding the de facto firing of Kathryn Lookofsky, the popube the grinch who stole the Christmas parade,â&#x20AC;? board member lar former director of the Athens Downtown Development Brian Brodrick said.

After two months, Thompson has already set to work updating a database of downtown businesses, proposed a ticket Ticket Amnesty: Got any unpaid parking tickets piling up in amnesty period (keep reading for details), revamped the fee your glovebox? Next month might be the time to take care of scale for game day parking, bought new parking-deck payment them. software, revised the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and helped the downtown Thompson is proposing a ticket amnesty period Sept. 9-20. brewery Creature Comforts apply for a Georgia Cities Foundation During that time, people will be able to pay off their delinrevolving loan. quent tickets without any late fees.

One agenda item at the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aug. 20 meeting illustrated just how tough the job can be, dealing with competing interests and personalities, red tape and issues that might seem petty to an outside observer.

The planters on College Square have been the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bĂŞte noir since Rusty Heeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days as chairman.

After years of being unsatisfied with Athens-Clarke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upkeep and bickering over how to make the planters (on the same block as Heeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dress shop) more attractive, the authority finally signed a contract with a private landscaping company to provide additional services.

That contract mysteriously expired in February, two months after the board declined to renew Lookofskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract. Now Thompson will have to negotiate another intergovernmental agreement with ACC and put the contract out for bid again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sounds like a lot of bureaucratic mess to me,â&#x20AC;? ADDA board member and Commissioner Mike Hamby said.

Another board member, state Rep. Regina Quick, asked whether the moss growing on the sidewalk in front of her office was part of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenspace The grinch might steal the Parade of Lights next year. program. It must not be, because if it were, the conservative Quick would surely fight it herself.

In spite of the progress on some fronts, not everything is Once the amnesty period ends, parking officials will resume running smoothly. Remember when the Athens-Clarke County booting vehicles for unpaid tickets, a practice that was susCommission got rid of Fourth of July fireworks in a pique of pended after County Attorney Bill Berryman raised due-process budget cuts?

But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be running the risk of the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines, because the ACC government isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a having to pay the fines anyway, plus additional court costs.

The ADDA board tentatively approved the amnesty period Hamby and Mayor Nancy Denson, who said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think last week, and the Athens-Clarke County Commission is schedof anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more worth funding,â&#x20AC;? saved the Parade of uled to vote on it Sept. 3.

Community Gardens: The commission is also poised to allow neighborhood residents to start their own community gardens and sell some of the produce at local farmers markets.

Right now, community gardens are mainly restricted to property owned by churches, nonprofits and schools. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because local zoning laws prohibit commercial agriculture (as opposed to personal gardens) in most residential areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is a lot more interest than ever in community gardens,â&#x20AC;? said Kathy Hoard, who chairs the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Government Operations Committee.

That committee recommended allowing gardens of up to one acre in neighborhoods across Athens. Setbacks and a ban on livestock will be in place to protect neighbors.

The commission is likely to vote Sept. 3 to instruct the county planning commission to develop an ordinance. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break out your spades just yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be massaged before it gets back to us,â&#x20AC;? Hoard said.

Historic Districts: Another GOC recommendation the full commission is considering would add another public hearing to the process for designating a historic district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we found in the last designation [for the Buena Vista Heights neighborhood] was there was a lot of misinformation in the community,â&#x20AC;? Hoard said.

So before the Historic Preservation Commission even takes up a designation, planners would host a town hall meeting to distribute information about what a historic district does and does not entail.

Ideally, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to avoid the lies, distortions, threats and general un-neighborliness that accompanied the Buena Vista districtâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not holding my breath.

Classic Center: Commissioners Allison Wright and Jerry NeSmith had previously raised questions about Paul Cramerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to pay back $5.4 million he wants to borrow to buy bleachers, a scoreboard and ice equipment to start hosting arena-style events, as well as add about 200 parking spaces. Both commissioners said last Thursday they are getting the answers they wanted, potentially paving the way for passage at the Sept. 3 meeting.

Broun Rowndup: Athens progressives Michael Smith and Caroline Ramsey are forming a political group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crushâ&#x20AC;&#x153; to, well, crush Paul Brounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Senate chances. The group will â&#x20AC;&#x153;use civil discourse and neighbor-to-neighbor conversations with swing voters statewide to counter Congressman Brounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremist messages and political tactics.â&#x20AC;?

An organizational meeting will be held at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 28 at Pulaski Heights BBQ (owned by Carolineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Chuck). If agitating against Broun isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to get you out of the house, there will be a happy hour at 6 p.m., as well as drink and dinner specials.

capitol impact ‘Tool’ Spelled Backward Is ‘Loot’ Our state constitution and laws are embedded with provisions that have one simple purpose: to keep politicians and their cronies from looting the public treasury and leaving taxpayers with a mountain of debt.

That’s why the legislature can include bonds in the state budget for capital projects, but the level of that bonded debt cannot exceed 10 percent of the annual tax revenues.

When local governments issue bonds to build new courthouses or other facilities, they are required to get voter approval in a bond referendum.

These are wise limitations, and we have them because politicians have to raise money from contributors to get elected to public office. These contributors are frequently builders, developers and contractors who expect to see a return on that investment in the form of public construction projects.

Because of the economic downturn, state and local governments have cut back on infrastructure projects in recent years.

This has been a troubling trend for construction and engineering firms that depended on government work as a source of business. That particular revenue stream has just about run dry.

What can these interest groups do to get around all these troublesome limitations on bond debt and public spending?

One way is to authorize state and local governments to form private-public partnerships, known by the abbreviation P3, where a private firm assumes part of the financial risk of a project in return for getting access to public funds. These P3 partnerships were authorized several years ago to build toll roads. There is now a bill pending in the Legislature to allow the same sort of publicprivate relationship for “vertical construction” projects like government buildings.

At a legislative hearing on the public-private bill, known as SB 255, the hearing room

was packed with lawyers and lobbyists who represented engineering, construction and development firms.

“It’s all been very positive,” Sen. Hunter Hill (R-Smyrna) remarked near the end of the hearing. “Is anyone opposed?”

Not surprisingly, all the audience members thought the bill was a great idea.

The lobbyists at the hearing tended to use the same corporate buzzwords and jargon in their sales pitches. By allowing these partnerships with outside companies, they said, legislators would be able to “unleash the creativity and innovations of the private market” to get these government construction projects underway.

Think about that for a moment.

We’re talking about generic government buildings. How many “creative” and “innovative” ways are there to dig a foundation, frame up a building and put a roof on it? This is basic construction work that you would want to achieve in the most economical way possible for the taxpayers.

Another phrase tossed around by several of the lobbyists was that these public-private proposals were “just another tool in our toolbox.” Time and again they came back to the analogy of tools and toolboxes.

Let’s remember that “tool” spelled backwards is “loot.” I fear that if this particular bill should pass—and there are some influential people with money who will try to get it passed—then you could see some large-scale looting of the public treasury.

Governments obviously have a need, on occasion, to build new roads, schools, courthouses and other facilities that provide services to their constituents. There’s a simple way to get this accomplished. If you need a new building, then allocate tax funds or float a bond issue to pay for it.

When Disaster Strikes

CERT Comes to the Rescue

T

What Is CERT?

• Terrorism and Active Shooters covers terrorist threats and targets and active shooter events •Disaster Psychology discusses the psychological wellbeing of responders and victims and resources for help after a disaster.

he storm seems to have passed over, and you’re looking at the huge branch that’s caved in a section of your roof. Several of your neighbors are out doing the same.

You step out to the curb to take a look down the street and you see them—two people in green vests and hard hats, with clipboards and heavily-loaded backpacks. Are they some new kind of evangelists? Developers looking to buy your damaged property on the cheap?

“We’re from the Community Emergency Response Team,” they say. “We’re here to help.”

CERT was the brainchild of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Founded in the mid-1980s, the program recruits and trains volunteers to take some of the huge volume of less-hazardous, less-specialized work off the shoulders of professional emergency managers and first responders.

CERT volunteers can help set up and run shelters, coordinate offers of assistance with areas of need, take part in searches and evacuations and assess property damage. They can also serve food to evacuees and rescue workers and help with cleanup after floods or other disasters.

In calmer times, they assist in community events, staff first aid booths, help formulate and practice disaster plans, play victims in police and emergency drills and improve emergency preparedness in their own families, workplaces and neighborhoods.

If you’ve ever yearned to attack a column of flame with a fire extinguisher, search the woods for a missing person or spend an afternoon drenched in fake blood while police officers search for the guy who “shot” you—good news. Your chance is coming. Both the University of Georgia and Athens-Clarke County will offer CERT classes beginning in September.

Basic CERT training consists of eight weekly classes, two-and-a-half hours each. Training is free; classes are funded by a federal Citizen Corps grant. Topics may very depending on local needs. UGA’s classes include the Incident Command Dan Hope and Lila Ralston play dead for a UGA police officer.

taking photos and so on.”

An exercise in August 2012 using stuffed animals gave the team an opportunity to practice in case a pet shelter is needed.

But the most likely scenario for UGA CERT mobilization, Golden says, would be “a missing person on university property, for example at the Botanical Gardens. We’d be acting as support, helping with the command post, feeding volunteers and answering phones.”

Golden encourages more involvement in disaster preparedness. “This is something anybody can do, and everybody should do,” he says. “Everybody should have some level of preparedness; for example, making sure you and your family have supplies on hand to take care of yourselves for at least three days.

Look at our website—you can participate as much or as little as you like, but those skills will always be with you. I get letters from people who went through our CERT class and then came up on a wreck or saw someone collapse in a restaurant.

They write me to say ‘Thanks to my CERT training, I knew what to do.’”

For those not affiliated with the university, the AthensClarke County CERT, which has been on hiatus recently, is about to be reborn. Beth Burgess is the county’s new Emergency Management Administrator, on the job since December 2012.

“EMA in the past has not been very proactive. I intend to change that,” Burgess says. Working with the county’s Citizen Corps Council, Burgess plans to incorporate CERT into her office’s routine.

“I’m a department of one, so I depend heavily on volunteers,” she says. “I plan to establish a volunteer cache of citizens to assist with emergency operations—things like damage assessment, animal response teams, getting people to staff the emergency operations center and so forth. We plan to bring programs like CERT and the Medical Reserve Corps together and do a lot of cross-training.”

Lila Ralston

Be Prepared September, which is National Preparedness Month, will see CERT training for both UGA and Athens-Clarke County (“free for anyone who lives, works or worships in Athens-Clarke County,” according to Burgess) as well as UGAs preparedness fair. Here are the details, along with some online resources you may find helpful.

Filling Up Big Boxes A Church and Thrift Store Show How It’s Done

A

thens Area Habitat for Humanity is emerging from its dusty warehouse. Aug. 20, Habitat’s 25th anniversary, a new ReStore opened on the Atlanta Highway.

The first ReStore is a Barber Street fixture, but it’s a bit out of the way for the casual thrifter. The new store’s location—an empty big box near Commerce Boulevard where Lowes and AT&T once stood—should draw in more drive-by shoppers, executive director Spencer Frye says.

“Very rarely do you find [the Barber Street] store because you drove by it,” he says. “More often than not, you find it because someone told you about it, or you know it’s there. The traffic count on the Atlanta Highway is upwards of 40,000 cars a day, so it’s a great opportunity to extend our message and our mission.”

Habitat home recipients, who must complete 500 “sweat equity” hours as part of the organization’s home ownership program, will be able to work in the new store as well as the original one. Many of the new store’s staff are simply transplants from the Barber Street location, says public outreach director Rachel Gwyn. And longtime

turned his own shop over to his son and agreed not to pick through ReStore items before they hit the sales floor.

Though the two ReStores will sell pretty much the same stuff—namely, anything that can be thrifted—the new one has a different look.

“The space we currently have on Barber Street is very much of a warehouse,” Gwyn says. “Very high ceilings, no central heating and air, a lot of space. But this one looks more like a store, if that makes sense.”

The Atlanta Highway isn’t the prettiest part of Athens, but Habitat expects good things from its new location.

“It’s in a great part of town,” Gwyn says. “That part of town is growing faster than we ever expected, and we’re just excited to be a part of it now.”

It’s also shrinking, as new businesses replace chain stores that are shutting down due to Internet competition or moving out to a new outdoor mall in Oconee County. The Gap in the Georgia Square Mall recently closed (and donated its display materials to Habitat for use in the new store) and so did the Old Navy on Atlanta Highway. Both have opened outposts at Epps Bridge Centre.

A mile down Atlanta Highway from the ReStore, another expansion is taking place. Athens Church is purchasing the rest of the Perimeter Square shopping center where it already resides.

“It’s all about the future,” says communications director Josh Bayne. “It’s all about just having space as we continue to grow.”

Two years ago, the church raised money to renovate 45,000 square feet in the old Walmartturned-Steve & Barry’s-turned-empty-building.

It renovated 20,000 more square feet in 2012 to keep up with membership growth. Last spring, owners Mimms Enterprises approached the church about buying the remainder of the 28-acre complex for less than it owes the bank. The property is undergoing an environmental and property condition assessment right now, but Athens Church is otherwise ready to buy.

The current Perimeter Square tenants, which include Cato, Goodwill and American Black Belt Academy, will remain there for the foreseeable future; acquiring the space is a provision for longterm goals, Bayne says, though the immediate doubling of church parking is a plus. Still, Athens Church hopes to make improvements to the buildings soon.

Bayne says he hopes by broadening its presence, Athens Church can bring some local character back to the Atlanta Highway.

“If you look around our church, this is a very Athenian type place,” he says. “We want it to look and feel like Athens. So it’s very much our heart and, we feel like, God’s heart to take something that’s run-down and restore it into something that’s a little more beautiful.”

That sentiment is nothing new, though in less spiritual terms. With many Athenians complaining about the corporate ugliness of Atlanta Highway Musician and DJ Kurt Wood picks through vinyl at the Atlanta Highway ReStore’s grand and calling for local businesses to fill in strip opening Aug. 20. malls and empty buildings, Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Mike Hamby is chairing a committee customer Vic Peel, formerly of Vic’s Vintage, will manage the on how best to develop it. new ReStore.

I just basically continues to be so for the next many years to come,” Hamby recruited him to help me open and operate our stores to fulfill says. “So certainly, the Habitat ReStore and Athens Church are our mission, and he’s using it as a way for him to give back to a good part of that and really will help us meet our goals for his community.” that corridor.”

Are You Ready for Some Football?

Flagpole’s UGA Season Preview

Y

ou may know Blake Aued as Flagpole’s resident political junkie and Gabe Vodicka as our insufferable hipster music editor. But in their spare time, they’re also football fans. They suspect there are a lot of folks in Athens like them, who wouldn’t be caught dead on North Campus in khakis and red polo shirts, but still follow the Dawgs. (Or, in Blake’s case, the Ole Miss Land Sharks Black Bears Rebels.)

To that end, Flagpole is going to be experimenting with a little football coverage this fall. (Before you pen that strongly worded Letter to the Editor, take a couple deep breaths and ask yourself: is it worth it?) Dig in below, where Blake and Gabe answer your (imaginary) questions about the upcoming Georgia season, which kicks off this Saturday in a hotly contested matchup with Clemson.

Yeah, dawg. They’re ranked fifth in the country by the Associated Press and in the USA Today coaches’ poll, behind Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and Stanford. (Sports Illustrated, however, in what is clearly a bullshit contrarian move, has Georgia 12th on its preseason Top 25.

Meanwhile, Florida and South Carolina are in the top 10. Eat it, SI.) Most sportswriters are picking us to win the SEC East and—in a repeat of last year’s heartbreaker—lose to Alabama in the conference championship and, thus forfeit the right to steamroll whichever patsy the Pac-12 or Big Ten spits up as its national championship “contender.”

But Aaron Murray’s back, right?

He is, and he’s a dark-horse Heisman Trophy candidate, too.

Is Georgia any good this year?

Jones’ formidable pass-rushing shoes. Meanwhile, another star linebacker, Alec Ogletree, went to the St. Louis Rams in the first round, and six other Bulldogs were also drafted.

Georgia’s largely inexperienced defense is the team’s biggest question mark in 2013, but the consensus was that last year’s ballyhooed squad underperformed—and UGA still almost made it to the BCS championship game. So, that’s something.

Who does Georgia play this year?

Funny you should ask! We just so happened to have put together previews of the games. As has been the case for many of the past few seasons, the Dawgs have kind of a powder-puff schedule (as easy as an SEC team can have, anyway). They play just four teams in the preseason Top 25: Clemson, South Carolina, Florida and LSUX—excuse me, LSU. No Alabama, and no Texas A&M. That’s a catch-22; it means they probably won’t lose many games, if any, but it also means the BCS computers that pick the top teams will downgrade them in favor of teams that beat better opponents.

Aug. 31 @ Clemson (8 p.m., ABC) Facing the No. 8 team in the country, which boasts one of the college game’s most talented quarterbacks in senior Tajh Boyd, and on the road to boot, this is a game that could trip up Georgia, and Coach Mark Richt knows it. “Any year, everything’s on the line that first month,” he says. “If you lose that (first) game, you have to run the table, basically.” Georgia has been known to crap the proverbial bed in high-profile opening games; fans recall UGA’s 2011 loss to Boise State at the Georgia Dome with horror.

What to drink: Thomas Creek River Falls Red Ale, brewed just down the road in Greenville, SC.

Who’s this Gurshall guy I keep hearing about?

Sept. 7 vs.

South Carolina (4:30 p.m., ESPN)

Actually, that’s two guys: tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, who combined for 2,144 rushing yards as freshmen. Gurley ran for the second-most yards of any UGA freshman since Herschel Walker in 1980. (Yes, kids, Hershel played football before he started hawking hot wings.) Both figure to have another impressive season. But don’t call them Gurshall to their faces—Gurley weighs in at 232 pounds, Marshall 219, and they reportedly hate the nickname. As they should. It’s an awful nickname.

OH SNAP. The Gamecocks’ monster defensive end Jadeveon Clowney gave the Bulldogs some bulletin board material when he said Murray is “scared” of him. (And who could blame Murray?

Google “Jadeveon Clowney and Vincent Smith.”)

“I’m definitely not scared,” the Georgia QB responded. “But [I] definitely respect greatly Aaron (emphasis on run) Murray got in shape during the off-season and wants to make plays with his feet. what he’s able to do on the field.” So does Richt, who called Clowney “the best football and Reese’s Pieces, out of his diet in an effort to get leaner player in the world.” Which is like a passive-aggressive dad and make plays with his feet. “I’m definitely feeling more agile commenting on how that neighbor kid is really making somethan I was last year, more flexible,” he said, noting smugly thing of himself and SHUT UP DAD.

What’s the deal with Butts-Mehre Hall?

I mean, what the hell kind of name is that?

The squad from the swamp will come into town with Cajun confidence. It’s the first time LSU has traveled to Athens since 2009, when the Tigers beat the Dawgs, and the first time the two teams have met since LSU’s SEC Championship game rout in 2011. Here’s an idea for the grounds crew: sprinkle some sort of household cleaner over all the grass on the LSU sideline. Not toxic enough to kill the grass, just enough to induce a really bad tummy ache in anyone who ingests it. Head coach Les Miles will be decapacitated by the second quarter. (But for God’s sake, keep Russ away. The Uga lineage is like one long canine installment of Final Destination.)

What to drink: Abita Turbodog.

Oct. 5 @ Tennessee (TBD) Derek Dooley, son of Vince, is out at as head coach after his third straight losing season, so we guess Barbara can put away the orange and go back to wearing red and black. The Volunteers don’t figure to show much improvement this year; they lost most of their offense, and Peyton Manning is not walking through that door any time soon. Meanwhile, the defense that allowed an eye-popping 471 yards per game in 2012 returns a majority of its players.

Oh, and “Rocky Top” is still the most annoying fight song ever.

What to drink: Jack Daniel’s.

Oct. 12 vs. Missouri (TBD) Welcome to the SEC, beeyotch. After leaving the Big 12, geography-bucking Missouri went 5-7 against a brutal slate of opponents in the team’s first season in its new conference.

Still, there’s hope for the Tigers: Running back Henry Josey, who racked up 8.1 yards per carry in 2011, missed last season after his knee basically exploded, but he’s back. If they can stay healthy, the Tigers will be better this year—but still not good enough to beat Georgia.

But the Commodores (that’s a naval officer as well as a defunct brand of comput“How close were we to winning the SEC championship last year?

The Wildcats, to put it nicely, are not as good at football as they are at basketball. Still, they’ve given Georgia fits in the past, coming out on top as recently as 2009 (a season that was admittedly a wash for UGA). Former coach Joker Phillips, who boasts the best name in college football, is gone, having taken a job as wide receivers coach down at Florida. In his place is Mark Stoops, brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who has already made drastic improvements in UK’s recruitment program. Still, like Auburn, if there is to be a turnaround in Lexington, it will likely be a gradual one.

What to drink: Bourbon. All of it. And then some.

Nov. 30 @ Georgia Tech (TBD) It seems like the last time Georgia lost to those dweebs at the North Avenue trade school was a million years ago (actually, it was 2008). Last year, head coach Paul Johnson’s triple option looked at times like the glorified high-school offense it is, as the Yellow Jackets went 7-7. Quarterback Tevin Washington is gone in 2013, but his sophomore replacement, Vad Lee, could be a star in the making. All yuks aside: rivalry games are never a sure thing, and the Bulldogs can’t overlook the Ramblin’ Wreck.

What to drink: Anything, as long as you don’t drink your whiskey clear.

Making Connections Katie Geha Curates Lamar Dodd Ready to Rumble A r

obert Newsome knows wrestling is fake.

But like most wrestling fans, the host of Athens’ monthly Championship Wrestling from Flicker night (and the publisher of the wrestling fanzine The Atomic Elbow) prefers the term “scripted.” If you ignore the WWE’s cartoonish personalities and formulaic promos, he says, just focus on the in-ring action and give yourself over to its absurd logic, it feels like a real sport. And although the goal is to not harm each other, there’s a degree of pain and danger in every bump a wrestler takes. As announcer Jim Ross famously asked, “How do you learn to fall off a 20-foot ladder?”

The finishes might be fixed, and the moves performed as safely as possible, but that doesn’t invalidate professional wrestling as a form of entertainment, or even, some argue, an art form. As Newsome says, “When it’s done well, wrestling can be the best thing in the world, in terms of how a story is told and the athleticism. It’s sports for people who hate sports. I never had an interest in sports, but I love wrestling.”

Newsome started programming a monthly night of wrestling content at Flicker Theatre & Bar in 2011. He doesn’t consider himself a wrestling evangelist, he says; he was just looking for a way to indulge his lifelong obsession with wrestling while also getting out of the house.

“When I started, I just had a bunch of tapes that I had accumulated or traded for over the years,” he explains, before disclaiming that his tape trading habit and Flicker night are both meant “for educational and research purposes only.” He continues, “I had these tapes and started to put them on DVDs, and I thought I’d watch them at home by myself. A guy named Adam Jackson did a night where he showed some old Mid-Atlantic stuff. That was a lot of fun, and I wondered why people didn’t do it more often. So I did.”

Occasionally, Newsome will pick a theme for his nights—he shows matches from WCW’s old Halloween Havoc pay-per-views every October—but generally, the programming comes down to whatever he feels like watching that night.

“I try to do stuff that’s seasonally appropriate, but that usually just goes out the window,” he admits. “I’ll show up and feel like watching Japanese wrestling from last year instead of Florida NWA stuff from 1982.

It’s just whatever tapes or DVDs I bring. I do welcome requests, but I don’t think that’s ever happened.”

Indeed, Newsome’s passion for wrestling isn’t bound to one specific territory or time period. At Flicker, you might see an old NWA or WCW episode that aired on TBS before a Braves game in 1987, or the latest big show from the meme-generating (and now sadly

defunct) goofball indie group Chikara. You might find state-of-the-art technicians and high-flyers from Japan and Mexico, or WWF big men from the 1980s stumbling around the ring. The only guarantee is you’ll see some of the best (or most hilarious) action that the sport has to offer, as curated by an expert and fan of over 30 years.

In a more subtle way, Newsome is performing valuable work for wrestling fans in Athens and abroad. Vince McMahon’s WWE (formerly WWF) is the only major wrestling organization left. McMahon has bought the tape libraries of almost every other important group and territory and over a series of DVDs has rewritten wrestling history to exalt his own legacy.

Between his zine and Championship Wrestling from Flicker, Newsome aims to preserve the true history of wrestling.

“I’ve always been a WCW/NWA loyalist,” Newsome says. “When I was a kid, my dad would disparage the WWF. I never got into it.

I watched the WWF because it was wrestling, but it was always substandard wrestling. It was always the wrestling you watched because the other wrestling wasn’t on. It wasn’t real wrestling.”

Real wrestling, to Newsome, was the Southern stuff he’d see on TBS and local UHF stations in the 1980s.

“Like everybody thinks the music that was out when they started buying records was the best music ever made, I’m gonna think that the wrestling that was out when I first became a wrestling fan was the best wrestling ever made,” he says. “So, mid- to late-’80s NWA Georgia and Florida stuff. That’s what formed my picture of what wrestling is, so I’m always going to think that’s the best.”

So, what can fans expect from this month’s wrestling night?

“I just got a set of ‘Championship Wrestling from Georgia’ from 1985,” Newsome reveals. “It’s not ‘Georgia Championship Wrestling,’—on Black Saturday, when Vince McMahon Jr. appeared on WTBS; that was ‘Georgia Championship Wrestling’ that he bought. So [wrestler and promoter] Ole Anderson started ‘Championship Wrestling from Georgia’ with [announcer] Gordon Solie, and that was what became of the NWA at the time. This stuff is brilliant.”

example for how Geha hopes the students will use the space to connect with one another.

“I want to try to encourage students to propose shows to curate their own exhibitions,” she says. “They could propose their own work in an exhibition, or they could be like, ‘I want to pair my work with a friend of mine.’ I want people to feel like this is their building.”

Walking down the art school’s tall white hallways, she points to the walls and says, “Right now, it’s so white. It’s so kind of sterile. This is an art school! This should be a testing ground for all kinds of things. I don’t want this to be just like a sterile space.”

Geha also wants to connect the downtown to the school of art. “I think that’s one of the challenges at the Lamar Dodd,” she says. “How do we bring people that aren’t necessarily tied to the school, just because we aren’t located downtown? So I think that’s definitely something I have to be thinking about. How do we garner an audience over here? How do we Matt Shedd

Wrestling Worship at Flicker

fter mingling among some of the world most celebrated artists, collectors and art scholars, Katie Geha still has a contagious enthusiasm for the way art connects people on a basic communal level.

Before taking the job as gallery director of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, Geha was most recently in Austin, TX, but her experience in the art world extends far beyond liberal towns in conservative Southern states. She grew up in Ames, IA and studied art at the University of Iowa.

“When I graduated, I thought you had to go to New York,” she recalls. “I thought that anybody who wanted to do anything had to go to New York.”

So she went to New York and got a job at the renowned Pollock-Krasner Foundation (as in Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner). However, she knew she wasn’t ready to settle into a career yet. She went on to get her master’s degree in art history at the Art Institute of Chicago, after which she ended up working at

New Lamar Dodd School of Art gallery director Katie Geha at an Aug. 16 opening. the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, KS, where she was responsible for traveling around the world, meeting artists and purchasing pieces to bring back to the museum. “It was an amazing job for a 25-year-old” she says.

That was before she got her PhD at UT-Austin, a town she says is similar to Athens. “Austin has such a, for lack of a better [term], DIY aesthetic,” Geha says. “If someone wants to do an art show, you do an art show… There’s this sense of, if we want to do it, let’s do it, and get it done… I feel like Athens might have that DIY aesthetic as well, and that appeals to me.”

She is hoping Lamar Dodd can continue to tap into that enthusiasm. “Anyone can do a cool art show in New York,” she says. “Anyone can do a cool art show in L.A. Let’s do a cool art show in Athens, GA.” At the opening for the Lamar Dodd faculty exhibition on Friday, Aug, 16th, professors and other members of the community sipped red wine and browsed through the faculty’s work.

Geha sees this exhibit, which runs through Sept. 16th, as a great opportunity for students to come and connect with their professors as artists.

Having the professors connect with their students through their own work sets an

make sure that people recognize that this is a place that is going to have very vital, crosspollination type performances where we might have a dance performance at an opening. Or we might have an experimental sound performance. How can we try to create that integration with both the city and the university?”

She eventually hopes to strengthen Athens’ connections to the major centers of the art world, like New York and L.A., through an artist-in-residence program.

“We have a really, really strong program here of bringing in visiting artists to give lectures, which is awesome, and they bring in really top notch artists,” she says. “But why not use that a little bit more, and have them come and live in Athens for five weeks and create a project, and use [some of Lamar Dodd’s] space for their studio?”

Geha thinks bringing in top artists is a great opportunity, not only for students to learn from the artists, but also for the artists to learn about Athens. “I hope that what they find out is that the Lamar Dodd, the University of Georgia and Athens [are] a thriving arts community, and say, ‘This is such a cool place! You have to come visit.’“ Matt Shedd

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week.

• indicates new review 2 GUNS (R) DEA Agent Bobby “Beans” Trench (Denzel Washington) and Navy Intelligence Officer Michael “Stig” Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) are two unlikely partners. When they unwittingly steal $43.125 million from a shadowy organization, represented

by Earl (Bill Paxton), they must trust one another again to clear both their names. 2 Guns is loaded and hits the bull’s eye with every shot.

BLUE JASMINE (PG-13) Oh my god!

Andrew Dice Clay in a Woody Allen movie? I’m so in. Not to mention Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale, Sally Hawkins, Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin and Peter Sarsgaard. I don’t even need to know what the film’s plot is. (A rich woman moves in with her down to earth sister after her cheating husband loses everything.) Apparently, Allen’s back from his European sojourn, though he hasn’t returned to New York yet; this drama is set in San Francisco.

CLOSED CIRCUIT (R) The trailers give very little away about this thriller starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall.

Bana and Hall play lawyers and former lovers who find themselves in danger while preparing the defense for an international terrorist. Director John Crowley won several international awards for his previous features Boy A and Intermission. Academy Award nominee Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things), best known for writing Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises, wrote the screenplay.

THE CONJURING (R) Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) investigate the things that go bump in the night. The occurrences in the Perron family’s new house are not just paranormal; they’re malevolent. James Wan (Saw, Insidious) stages the Perron’s haunting with utmost care. From the font in the opening credits, the film harkens back to the ‘70s and places itself not as a wannabe, but as a peer next to such modern classics as The Amityville Horror and (dare I type it) The Exorcist.

DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG) When a new super villain steals a dangerous, experimental serum, the Anti Villain League enlists former master criminal Gru’s (v.

Steve Carell) assistance. Despicable Me 2 has no shot at surpassing expectations like its underdog predecessor, and its appeal to anyone over ten probably depends on one’s tolerance

for the Minions, whose roles have been enlarged with their own spinoff in the works for 2014.

ELYSIUM (R) Science fiction offers a rich canvas upon which ambitious authors and filmmakers like Neill Blomkamp can point out the flaws in modern society via a far-off future. In 2154, the Earth has gone from third rock from the sun to third world.

Orbiting in the skies above the planet is Elysium, where the wealthy live forever thanks to breakthroughs in medical technology. Tricked out with an exoskeleton that makes him stronger and nearly invincible, injured ex-con turned factory worker Max De Costa (Matt Damon) goes all Terminator until he gets to Elysium, run by ice-cold Defense Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster).

GIRL RISING Academy Award nominated director Richard Robbins has assembled an impressive cast of narrators—Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Chloe Grace Moretz, Liam Neeson, Freida Pinto, Meryl Streep and Kerry Washington—to tell the story of nine girls seeking to escape arranged marriage, child slavery and more through education. GATHR is presenting the screening, which may or may not happen depending on how many people made reservations before the deadline expired. k GETAWAY (PG-13) Ethan Hawke continues his genre tear, leaving horror and venturing into action exploitation. Hawke stars as Brent Magna, a former racecar driver who must follow a mysterious man’s directions if he hopes to ever see his kidnapped wife again. Selena Gomez costars as his passenger. Courtney Solomon hasn’t directed much (his previous two features are Dungeons & Dragons and An American Haunting) but has produced a lot as head of After Dark Films. With Jon Voight.

THE HEAT (R) Uptight FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) needs the help of foulmouthed, unpopular Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to take down a dangerous drug lord. Bullock and McCarthy don’t have Fey/Pohler chemistry.

Nevertheless, enough cannot be said about how refreshing it is to watch a buddy cop comedy starring two women.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 28, 2013

IRON MAN 3 (PG-13) Happily, Shane Black has taken over the Iron Man franchise from Jon Favreau, and it’s mostly a blast right out of 1987. I dig Black’s vision of Iron Man 3 as a buddy movie; I just wish his Tony Stark had suited up more.

JOBS (PG-13) Were this biopic of tech and cultural giant Steve Jobs airing on HBO, the movie and star Ashton Kutcher would be up for an Emmy.

It’s mostly focused on Jobs’ time (and failures) at Apple; don’t expect much insight into his personal life. As deep as Jobs gets is the not so shocking realization that Steve Jobs could be a major a-hole. Kutcher, who already resembles Jobs, really nails his speaking, mannerisms and gait.

KICK-ASS 2 (R) Original writer-director Matthew Vaughan, who’s moved on to the X-franchise, is missed, but KickAss 2 still charms in its vulgar, violent cinematic depiction of the MillarWorld.

Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson)

by her mother. With bad people played by the likes of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Kevin Duran after the Cup, it’s a good thing Clary can count on a punkishly cute, part-Angel, part-human Shadowhunter named Jace Wayland (Jamie Campbell Bower). Maybe this sort of Junior “True Blood” seemed original a few years ago, but all it is in 2013 is boring. Don’t expect new Karate Kid director Harald Zwart to liven up the proceedings, and the cast is terribly underwhelming. At least Beautiful Creatures had Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson and Viola Davis to gleefully camp it up. The Mortal Instruments is desperately frumpy and achingly serious in comparison.

NOW YOU SEE ME (PG-13) Four street magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco) are enlisted in a mysterious, magical plan to do something, but nobody is really sure what until the last reel. Hot on their heels is a dogged

It wasn’t the home stereo… your new single sounds awful in the car, too. again dons the togs of Kick-Ass, while Hit-Girl, aka Mindy Macready (Chloe Grace Moretz), tries to live the life of a normal fifteen-year-old girl. Writerdirector Jeff Wadlow lacks Vaughan’s vision and talent, but Mark Millar’s colorful comic is just too much fun for Kick-Ass 2’s rough edges to matter.

Talk about kicking some ass.

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) I wonder if Lee Daniels now wished he’d followed up Precious with this crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia, chronicling the major events of the second half of the 20th century through the eyes of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forrest Whitaker). With its exceptional cast—Robin Williams, James Marsden, Liev Schreiber, John Cusack and Alan Rickman appear as Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Reagan—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia. Daniels never sugarcoats the Civil Rights Movement, especially impressive for its PG-13 rating.

• THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES (PG-13) I am so over romantic-tinged, supernatural fantasies aimed at teens. The first movie in what the makers hope to be the new Twilight et al. contains every single YA genre trope. When her mother (Lena Headey) disappears, a seemingly normal girl, Clary Fray (Lily “Daughter of Phil” Collins), discovers her significance in a shadow world of demons, vampires, werewolves and witches. Apparently, Clary is the only one able to find The Cup, one of the Mortal Instruments, which was hidden

FBI Agent, Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), and a debunker of magicians (Morgan Freeman). Now You See Me is as entertaining as it is eye-rollingly contrived.

ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US (PG) The popular boy band hits the big screen in a movie directed by Academy Award nominee Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). (This kind of popblum does not fit into Spurlock’s oeuvre.) The rise of Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis from competing on “The X Factor” to performing at London’s O2 Arena is chronicled. If you liked Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, you’ll be hard-pressed to justify any animosity for the Brit boy band’s musical doc.

PARANOIA (PG-13) A tech hotshot, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth), is caught between feuding billionaires, Jock Goddard and Nicolas Wyatt (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman). The taste of the good life doesn’t outweigh the dangers faced by Adam’s friends, girlfriend (Amber Heard) and sick pops (Richard Dreyfus). This flick is a paycheck movie for all its players, though Ford and Oldman strike sparks in their scenes together. Still, those brief exciting interludes are not worth any of a viewer’s paycheck.

PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) The titular hero, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), must save Camp Half-Blood, the safe haven for the gods’ half-mortal children.

Backed by his pals—Athena’s daughter Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and his Cyclops half-brother, Tyson (Douglas Smith)—Percy must defeat

bland villain Luke (Jake Abel), rescue satyr Grover (Brandon Jackson) from Polyphemus and defeat a reborn Cronos. Even the all right FX cannot overcome the awful writing and charmless acting, especially from Lerman.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters has almost surely sunk the chances of Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse ever seeing the light of day.

PLANES (PG) A cropduster named Dusty Crophopper (v. Cook) longs to race across the skies. Unfortunately, he’s afraid of heights. It’s cute, sweet, and maybe a smidge direct-to-DVD; the voice cast is a step below the usual Pixar crop. Kids that love Cars will not care and will most likely fall for Planes.

What’s next? Ships?

THE SMURFS 2 (PG) Gargamel (Hank Azaria) creates some fake Smurfs—he calls them Naughties.

Vexy (v. Christina Ricci) and Hackus (v. J.B. Smoove) are an un-Smurf-like gray, so Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette (v. Katy Perry), who holds the secret to turning the Naughties blue.

Sadly, Smurfette is an easier target than usual as the birthday girl feels forgotten by Papa Smurf (v. the late Jonathan Winters) and the rest of her blue brethren. (She’s the only girl; no blue-blooded Smurf ever forgets Smurfette.) Maybe the kids will be entertained again, but the illogical trip to Paris, where Gargamel has become a big celebrity magician, will flummox adults.

• THE SPECTACULAR NOW (R) Let’s just pretend for a moment that you are not interested in a film as astonishing as The Spectacular Now. Maybe romantic high school dramedies where teen sweethearts like Sutter (Miles Teller) and Aimee (Shailene Woodley) trudge through their senior year of high school do not appeal to you.

Then you can still enjoy seeing our great Athens on the big screen. Clarke Central students, faculty and alumni definitely don’t want to miss seeing their beloved school on the big screen.

After hot sophomore picture Smashed, acclaimed filmmaker and Cedar Shoals grad, James Ponsoldt, returns with what, in a perfect world, would be his breakthrough film, an Oscar-worthy effort certain to make waves at the Independent Spirit Awards. Ponsoldt has a knack for choosing the right actors at the right time. In Teller and Woodley, Ponsoldt has chosen two young actors with the natural, charming effortlessness of bigger stars, and both are poised on the brink of superstardom. Adapted from Tim Tharp’s novel by (500) Days of Summer writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, The Spectacular Now is a teen movie made by and for adults that stands out by not indoctrinating audiences into the cult of youth.

THE WAY, WAY BACK (PG-13) This coming of age comedy stars Liam James as Duncan, who negotiates a summer with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Steve Carell) by getting a job at a local water park, where he is befriended by its odd owner (Sam Rockwell). This Sundance favorite looks appealing enough to be summer’s indie breakout hit.

WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) After running afoul of his drug kingpin pal (Ed Helms), Dave (Jason Sudeikis) must smuggle a smidge that turns out to be a lot more than a smidge of marijuana

across the border. Dave hatches a brilliant plan to fake a family with stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), runaway teen Casey (Emma Roberts) and virginal Kenny (Will Poulter). Everything works out great until he runs into a swell DEA agent and his wife (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and the big-time Mexican drug lord to whom the weed really belongs to catches up with them.

WHITE HOUSE DOWN (PG-13) Channing Tatum stars as D.C. cop John Cale, who must protect the President (Jamie Foxx) and rescue his precocious daughter (Joey King) after terrorists take over the White House.

Disaster master Roland Emmerich stages the destruction with his usual crowd-pleasing clarity.

THE WOLVERINE (PG-13) A darker, more complicated hero than Marvel’s super-bankable Iron Man and SpiderMan, Wolvie poses a narrative difficulty. The Wolverine comes closest to nailing this popular, mysterious icon.

After the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan has shed his Wolverine persona to live a solitary life in the woods. However, the last request of a dying friend whisks the clawed one off to Japan.

• THE WORLD’S END (R) The Cornetto Trilogy, begun in Shaun of the Dead, concludes pitch-perfectly with The World’s End. Five old friends—Gary King (co-writer Simon Pegg), Andy (Nick Frost), Ollie (Martin Freeman), Steve (Paddy Considine) and Peter (Eddie Marsan)—reunite in their hometown to again attempt an epic pub crawl. They just didn’t realize the world as they know it might be ending, when their pub crawl is interrupted by a Who-vian invasion of blueblooded robots. Pegg and director/ co-writer Edgar Wright know comedy.

The jokes all land and the comic beats/ pauses are perfectly synced. You will want to watch The World’s End again just to hear the jokes you laughed through the first time. Franchise filmdom (Mission: Impossible and Star Trek) hasn’t dulled Pegg’s charm, and grown-up teenager Gary is a wonderfully well-drawn slacker bookend to Shaun. Frost seems to enjoy playing the straight man, at least for a bit. The increasingly giddy Marsan, though, will be the revelation for most viewers. As silly as the bits can be, The World’s End captures the melancholy of growing up, old and apart from childhood friends. It’s like a Big Chill for Generation Zed. With jokes. And robots.

• YOU’RE NEXT (R) Ridiculously overhyped horror movies typically cannot live up to the hyperbolic claims crafted by overzealous marketing folk. You’re Next, directed by Adam Wingard (check out his earlier feature, A Horrible Way to Die), is the best horror film since the last best horror film, except, unlike the new Evil Dead, You’re Next really is that great. With the strongest cold open since Scream, this home invasion flick (my favorite slasher subgenre) ratchets up the tension for an hour and a half without ever letting up. A well-to-do family— including indie darlings Joe Swanberg (check out his new feature, Drinking Buddies), Ti West (House of the Devil and The Innkeepers), Aimee Seimetz and former Tasty World bartender AJ Bowen—are stalked by a group of killers in animal masks, who may have met their match in one son’s new girlfriend, Erin (Sharni Vinson). Hopefully, I haven’t said too much to ruin the horrific fun. Wingard and collaborator Simon Barrett take a well-known, beloved and maligned genre, turning it on its head with gleefully violent abandon. Remember; it’s okay to laugh. The horror movie of the year may well be one of the year’s best films, period.

think it takes the same thing to become a full-time potter as it does to embark and become successful in any venture. You have to be driven by a passion that you are not willing to give up. If it is something you really want, you will figure out how to accomplish it,” says Watkinsville potter Nancy Green.

The Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation hosts its 11th annual “Perspectives: Georgia Pottery Invitational” this month, boasting 50 of the most impassioned Georgia potters and their evergrowing bodies of work. As one of the largest pottery events in the region, “Perspectives” features the work of established artists as well as workshops, demonstrations and tours of local studios.

The exhibit kicks off on Friday, Aug. 30, 6–9 p.m., with its annual opening gala reception and preview sale. A $10 admission fee grants access to over 5,000 original, hand-made and functional pieces. Apart from offering the pick of the kiln, the gala also provides an opportunity to speak with this year’s

participating potters and enjoy refreshments while listening to tunes from popular jazz band Squat.

Three separate exhibits provide more focused looks at the pottery. “Participating Potters: 2013,” a crème de la crème showcase in the Main Gallery, presents two of the best works by each of the 50 participating potters. In the Members Gallery, a new exhibition entitled “Made in Japan,” includes 35 pots from kilns in Japan, with a discussion by Curator Rick Berman Friday, Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. And Berman’s own clay art is on display in the Hall Gallery: “Rick Berman: Italian Influences.”

The potters showcased in “Perspectives” are not only accomplished in their craft, they’re also dedicated to building Georgia’s rich history when it comes to pottery. Watkinsville potter Alice Woodruff says, “The Athens area and Oconee County in particular is incredibly rich and varied in its ceramics culture and history. We have a long association with UGA, which has brought some of the best and most creative

craftspeople to our area, and many of them have stayed…

Back in the 1970s–‘80s, I counted 30 full-time clay artists making primary livings in the making of clay objects.”

While there may be fewer now, support for pottery has not dwindled.

Athens potter Jennifer Graff says, “The change I have witnessed over the years is that ceramics have really permeated into the masses. It is accessible to all. People can take a pottery class, major in ceramics, use pottery at their dinner tables and appreciate its functionality as well as its aesthetic value.”

Furthering community outreach, Tom Turner will host a twoday pottery workshop, “Attention to Detail,” on Saturday, Aug. 31 and Sunday, Sept. 1 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. During his demonstrations, Turner will throw, trim and decorate various shapes of porcelain pots, discussing questions along the way. The workshop—which includes both breakfast and lunch—costs $150, and spots can be secured online at www.ocaf.com or by calling OCAF at 706-769-4565.

Additional pottery demonstrations exploring wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques will take place Saturdays from 1–4 p.m. The lineup includes Vernon Smith on Aug. 31, Chris Kelly on Sept. 7 and Jennifer Graff on Sept. 14.

On Sunday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1 p.m., wellknown Oconee County potter Michael Pitts will host gallery talks covering topics such as pottery styles, clays, glazes, firing techniques and details about various pieces in “Perspectives.”

The public is encouraged to dig into the pottery community through free studio tours, also held on Sunday, Sept. 15. The tours provide visitors with a rare chance to immerse themselves in the workspaces of Watkinsville and Farmington area potters. Alice Woodruff (35 South Main St., Watkinsville), Isabell Daniel (1100 Mayne Mill Rd., Farmington), Geoff Picket (1171 Freeman Creek Rd., Farmington), Nancy Green (1500 Tappan Spur Rd., Watkinsville) and Jeff Bishoff (1790 Salem Rd., Farmington) will all open their doors for tours and conversation. Alice Woodruff sums up what those who take the tours are likely to hear: “I still find tremendous satisfaction in physical challenge and accomplishment… stretching the clay and my imagination.”

And local potters have a lot to show and tell. Kathy Chappelle, of Happy Valley Pottery, says, “The pottery community in Oconee County and Athens is very strong and keeps getting stronger. Artists are treating it more like a business, with exhibitions and studio open house sales.”

But the business of pottery still avoids the common realm of mass-produced goods. It is always the work of an individual.

As Winterville potter Pat McCaffrey says, “The local community appreciates the work that goes into making a piece and love to purchase one for themselves and their friends. More young collectors are moving to the area with an appreciation for the non-mass-produced item.”

Whether you’re a potter, buyer or viewer, “Perspectives” provides a look into the center of the region’s ceramics culture.

OCAF’s “Perspectives” runs Friday, Aug. 30 through Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 34 School Street in Watkinsville. Visit www.ocaf. com for additional event details.

Add Some Flavor To Your Gameday Party!

Dogs for Dawgs TAILGATING, PART 1: Football season is upon us, which means thousands of extra people in town who need something to eat while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. Some of them cook. Some of them stop at Striplingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the way in (a good move).

Some of them go downtown. But there are a couple of new places in town that are aiming their sights on that market.

Junkyard Dawgs (1815 Old Commerce Rd., 706-583-9124) takes its name from a phrase Erk Russell coined to motivate the Georgia defense in the mid-1970s. Located in what was once a Huddle House, its decor hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed greatly from the original business there. The same globe lights hang from the ceiling, and the interior would best be described as spartan. Wood paneling, some UGA-themed art and photographs of St. Vince and Mark Richt make up the decorations.

The menu, as indicated by the sign painted

Ice, in the location where Uncle Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once was. Its menu is surprisingly big: hot wings, chicken strips, burgers, fish sandwiches, fried fish, french fries, corn dogs, onion rings, slaw, fried pickles, cheese sticks, fried apple pies, cups of ice cream and sodas.

You may have noticed the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;friedâ&#x20AC;? a lot in that list. In no way is Wingspan a healthy option. Nor is there much, like at Junkyard Dawgs, for vegetarians to order.

The wings are on the saucy side but cooked hot to order. The fries are big and steak-cut, well fried on the spot. The burgers are firmly packed (maybe a little too firmly), and the griddle brings out a nice crust on them. The ice cream comes with a flimsy plastic spoon that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well as a small wooden paddle would. The atmosphere is minimal, with no tables or seating options apart from the concrete steps leading up to the building

Junkyard Dawgs

by Dave Helwig, concentrates on hot dogs.

The dogs themselves are reminiscent of the ones at the Varsity: skinny, beefy and topped, in the standard iteration, with yellow mustard and a fine-ground, mild chili. Slaw, hot chili, cheese and more are also available. The combos come with french fries, thin cut, with much of the potato skin left on, and a Coke.

The hamburgers are in the vein of Five Guys, with a bunch of toppings on a thin patty jammed into a soft bun wrapped in tinfoil.

The best thing the restaurant offers are its meat skins, or pork rinds, in two different bag sizes, both large and well priced. Puffy and big, with better texture than the store-bought variety, and picked through to eliminate tougher bits of skin, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth the short drive out there. Junkyard Dawgs also makes a BLT on a hot bun and is, on the whole, similar to Gunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which operated in Lawrenceville to a similar audience for years.

The restaurant has super-cheap specials after 3 p.m., does drive-through pick-up for advance orders and is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Saturday. It takes credit cards and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve alcohol.

TAILGATING, PART 2: Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other newest entry trying to separate football fans from their money is Wingspan (706-424-9511), a trailer from the folks behind Blazerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Hull that sets up on Chase Street, behind Twice the

at the back of the lot, but the folks who run the place are friendly and cook fast. They also take credit cards with the Square attachment.

Wingspan is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and does large take-out orders placed in advance.

WHAT UP?: Pulaski Heights BBQ has had a Reuben on its menu for a long time, but a friend recently sold me on its Redneck Reuben, a somewhat regular special.

Consisting of house-smoked thick-cut bacon, pimento cheese, fantastic collard greens and house-made ranch dressing on Texas toast, it makes the regular Reuben feel like health food in comparison. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of the best sandwiches in town. Independent Baking Co. is open in Five Points. Broad Street Coffee has closed in preparation for its move to the former Farm 255 space on W. Washington, where it will be renamed Echo. Grindhouse Killer Burgers, in a new two-story space on Lumpkin, is hiring and plans to open in September. Judy Johnston of Normaltown Cafe, newly opened in Danielsville, had planned to open Stellar in the former Floydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space in Watkinsville, but that is no longer in the works. Brixx: Wood Fired Pizza, a franchise out of Charlotte, is opening three Georgia locations, including one in the West Washington Street parking deck.

Band of Brothers “I

don’t really get interviewed, and I’m kind of afraid of it,” Ryan Gray Moore admits. A slim, excitable dude given to the occasional bout of rambling, Moore’s friendly, slightly spastic conversational style often births unexpected nuggets of wisdom. It’s also analogous to the music he makes as Brothers, a name he has commanded for several years but which recently has become a more full-fledged effort—an actual band, if you will.

Of course, that was kind of an accident, too. Moore started Brothers as an “antithesis” to his previous local group, Soapbar, which prized rock and roll escapism over all else.

“I was obsessed with the Whigs,” he says, explaining that he wanted “distortion, guitar, bass, drums.” (It’s worth noting that the few songs that remain streamable on Soapbar’s MySpace page display a depth beyond that of the typical three-chord burner.)

Citing Grizzly Bear and Sufjan Stevens as initial inspirations, the intensely analytical Moore, who has a master’s degree in music, yearned to explore the outer reaches of pop. He settled on the name Brothers, which, on the surface, implies externality and camaraderie but was intended, Moore says, to represent the two competing sides of his musical mind.

As he explains, “I decided I wasn’t going to separate them anymore. With Brothers, I was going to [balance] making what I call ‘composongtions,’ [with] making, just, songs—this feels good, it’s pop music, don’t over-think it.”

The first smattering of shows under the Brothers moniker featured Moore’s plaintive, melodic (and, he says, painstakingly notated) compositions backed by strings and horns. But soon, with a concretizing of the live lineup—Moore on guitar and vocals, along with guitarist Stephen Pfannkuche, bassist/ vocalist Noel Brown and drummer Michael Gonzalez—Brothers became something looser.

“We sort of morphed back into a rock band all over again, even though I really didn’t want it to be that,” laughs Moore.

Lest you think Moore is a tightly-wound ball of internal strife, he says he is pleased with where his project is at present. “I’m 27, and I’ve been playing in bands since I was 16, and this is the first time that I’ve felt really comfortable,” he says. Brothers is still very plainly his creation, but he’s quick to

give his bandmates their due, even assigning them songwriting credits on the Bandcamp page for Brothers’ newly released five-song EP, Street Names. (“If I didn’t write the whole thing, and I didn’t tell them to do it, like puppets, then I don’t think I wrote it,” he says.)

“In Fog,” the EP’s leadoff track, is a particularly collaborative affair. Not coincidentally, it’s the track on the recording that feels most alive. Somehow both ethereal and tightly constructed, the song comes the closest of any on the EP to achieving the intelli-pop transcendence Moore is searching for.

Though it doesn’t quite reach the bar set by “In Fog,” the rest of the record is also a captivating listen. The title track, in particular, is kinetic. It ambles through two-and-a-half minutes of slightly wistful (and slightly generic) indie-pop before it is

A nascent partnership with The Glow Studio’s Jesse Mangum, a relationship Moore describes as fluid and productive, has already proven a more fruitful endeavor.

“With each song, when it gets to that point where I know I’m not having fun, I’ll give it to Jesse, because that’s where he starts having fun. He’s all about frequencies and filters and figuring out where the sound is on the graph.”

But don’t expect a full-length anytime soon. Or, for that matter, ever. Moore envisions Brothers’ discography as a series of digital-first singles and EPs, explaining that his natural inclination is to make material available as soon as it’s ready.

(Moore also consumes as he creates, admitting to that most widespread millennial habit: torrenting music for free, rather than paying for it—at least most of the time.)

More importantly, releasing music in short bursts will also allow Brothers to be any and everything its creator wants it to be. Moore says he wants to explore different sounds and ideas in perpetuity. The band’s current core lineup will remain—”I’m not, like, a crazy person, where I kick people out of the band,” he says—but he plans to incorporate other folks, too.

“I don’t know what’s gonna happen, and I don’t like making grand statements like this, but… I like thinking that Brothers is the last thing I’m ever gonna be in,” Moore says. “I don’t want to ever have to escape. People, they feel like their band becomes a [certain] sound, and they can’t ever escape what that means.”

Moore sits silently for a brief minute, then smiles. “But that’s probably overthinking it.”

“I’m not, like, a crazy person, where I kick people out of the band,” Moore says.

reborn as something else entirely: an achingly melodic ode to alienation. The song’s striking latter half seems aimed at its too-sanitary opening minutes in the way that Moore’s heady tendencies are offset by his other self, the one, he says, “who just wants to shut off his brain and play for three hours in the practice room.”

Though the content is impressive, Street Names suffers a bit for its sheen. Moore, who says he refused to put any furniture in the living room of the last house he occupied in order to create a more optimal sound environment, is a home recording enthusiast (check his Soundcloud page, which features over a dozen solo tracks and skeletal early versions of Brothers tunes, for proof), but the EP, which features new material as well as new versions of songs he has had on hand for a couple years, was assembled professionally at an eminent local studio. Moore describes the experience as mostly positive, but also says he did things he “never wants to do again,” like use digital plugins to manipulate the sound.

The Coathangers Blow Off Steam

One

thing you can say for the kids coming out of the Atlanta punk rock scene: they know how to have a good time with their audiences. While their Athens counterparts sometimes exude a too-cool contempt for their fansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;see Muuy Biienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a fuck about anyone hereâ&#x20AC;? acceptance speech at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flagpole Athens Music Awardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;party rockers from the (big) A are keen to have a good time with their fans, rather than in spite of them.

Take the Coathangers, for example. The foursome came together seven years ago over a love of partying and a shared vulgar taste in humor, and have been kicking ass ever since.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 release, Larceny & Old Lace, showcased the Coathangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; developing songwriting chops, and the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-working tour ethic has won it a reputation as a live act not to be missed.

Their irreverence and the collective aggression of their live performances is a byproduct of the town the Coathangers make music in, says singer and guitarist Julia Kugel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think [the Atlanta scene] is pretty great, actually. Because it feels like life is challenging and hard, people want to let off some steam and just party. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a release at shows, of energy and pent-up aggression, and it feels a little bit more violent. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely thrived in that sort of environment,â&#x20AC;?

Kugel says, crediting the difference between Athens and Atlanta to the increased violence, grittiness and general hard-knockery that comes with living in â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dirty city.â&#x20AC;?

The music that Kugel and the Coathangers create in response to their surroundings is punchy, charismatic and a helluva lot of fun.

From â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buckhead Betty,â&#x20AC;? a cutesy-sounding send-up of privilege from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 self-titled debut, to the throaty, searing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurricane,â&#x20AC;? the lead single from Larceny, the Coathangers have shown a range in both tone and style that keeps their music interesting and the listenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fist pumping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like our records are reflective of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through at the time,â&#x20AC;? Kugel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not all one-note. As far as songs, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soft and hard songs and fast songs and slow songs. Some of them are about relationships, and some of them are about friendships and changes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about life. People ask what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inspired by most, and we say life.â&#x20AC;?

The four ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kugel, drummer/vocalist Stephanie Luke, bassist Meredith Franco and keyboardist Candice Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have spent some time in the studio lately, working on a follow-up to Larceny; Kugel says fans can expect further strides on the next release, which is due out next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re] working on being better musicians, in a way, while still maintaining a sort of carefree attitude that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our fourth full-length, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be better. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to record it well, and be better, and more thoughtful of song structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty protective of us and our craft. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve allowed in,â&#x20AC;? Kugel adds of the Coathangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; process. But she credits musicians the band has toured with and folks like Ed Rawls of the Living Room Recording in Atlanta, where the Coathangers recorded their last album, with teaching the band little things along the way to help them polish their sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went on tour with [â&#x20AC;ŚAnd You Will Know Us By the] Trail of Dead, and they were so stoked to teach us things,â&#x20AC;? Kugel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maybe you should try to hit the drum like that, because it gives it a flatter sound.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A lot of people have taken us under their wing.â&#x20AC;?

With an ever-growing sense of musical know-how, an attitude that is by turns soft and snarling and a widely acknowledged onstage swagger, the Coathangers promise a live experience that is materially different from that of listening to their records. We in Athens may be spared some of the big-city hardships of Atlanta living, but between the stress of school being back in session and the endless pent-up days endured this rainy summer, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some collective steam to blow off, too.

The Coathangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show is as good a venue as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to find.

Boyz II Men: Athens synth-pop sensation Programs seems to have blown up out of relatively nowhere over the past few months.

The duo, composed of Robby Casso (Grass Giraffes, Glasscrafts) and Dillon McCabe, plays a deliriously attractive mixture of glossy, 1980s-style UK pop and 21st Century indie dance music. Sure, the ‘80s tag might seem a little obvious and lazy—and it’s not one I’m completely married to, either—but damn if these stylish bros’ cover art doesn’t look more like Wham! than anything else in recent history. The cover art I’m speaking of sits atop the group’s brand new debut EP, Promises.

The five-track record was released digitally a couple of weeks ago at programsmusic. com. It was recorded, mixed and mastered by T.J. Mimbs (The District Attorneys) at Easy Street Studio. Download and dig it. Follow along at facebook.com/programsmusic.

Grow Up Plan: Tommy Valentine (Lovenotes Records) hasn’t done a whole lot of his usual promoting, recording or rabble-rousing here in the Classic City for a while, but trust me, he’s never short on ideas. Every few months, he’ll call me up and run several of those ideas past me—not because I have any idea of what I’m talking about, but maybe just to have a sounding board.

When he asked me about the thing I’m about to tell you, my response was a hearty “Hell yes!”

So, get ready to celebrate Valentine’s 30th trip around the sun during the “30 At 40“ celebration at the 40 Watt Club on Saturday, Aug. 31.

Live performances

by Showtime Kite To The Moon (with Elite Tha Showstoppa), Black Nerd, Brian Walker and reunion shows

by Black Rose Dynasty, WildKard and The Renegadez will happen. There will also be a comedy roast of Valentine featuring no less than 12 people, including Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Kelly Girtz, Clint Orr, David Ferguson, Erica Harrison, Athens hip hop impresario Montu Miller, Randy Matheny and Travis Lester, as well as the previously mentioned Elite Tha Showstoppa and Eugene “Black Nerd” Willis.

Boot Scootin’ For Babies: UGA Miracle, the student organization that supports Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, will host a benefit concert featuring Nashville-based country music star Rodney Atkins. The show happens Thursday, Aug. 29 at the Georgia Theatre.

Tickets are $35, and Athens’ Emily Hearn starts things off at 8 p.m. For tickets, see georgiatheatre.com, and to find out more about UGA Miracle, see ugamiracle.org.

Open Call: A couple times a year, I like to give a shout-out to people who might be new in town to explain a little about how this column works. Simply put, it’s local music news, plus my opinion on that news. How is information gathered? Some things I’m tipped to by people sending an email (address below); some things I discover by keeping my ear to

the ground; and others can be a combination of sources. All news isn’t equal: some stuff is so important that it must be covered at the expense of other stuff, and not everything you think is newsworthy may actually qualify as such (e.g., your band simply playing a show).

I’d still like to always hear what you’ve got going on. One caveat: Just because we’re all friendly right now and I’m like, “Hey, be in touch!” that doesn’t mean you’ll get a free pass should I choose to mention your project or activity. As they say, a pie in the face comes with the job, and I’ve certainly gotten my fair share of those. This column is written a full week before it’s published, so remember that when sending in your news or tips. Feel ready? Then add threatsandpromises@ flagpole.com to your email address book and drop me a line. n A Bargain At Twice The Price: Timi Conley has launched a “Kitestarter” fundraising effort for the new record from his band, Kite To The Moon. The plan is to release both vinyl and CD versions of the album, which was recorded at Full Moon Studio and should contain over 10 tracks that will showcase, in Conley’s words, everything from dark intensity to “sky-high surfing-on-a-rainbow-with-a-unicornstyle jams” and music that is “splattered with blues shreds, marshmallow funk topping, jangly pop birthday presents and a Big Muff pedal gone telescopically Hubbleesque.” In layman’s terms, that means a guitar-heavy, partyjam album that can occasionally be a bit dark. See, that wasn’t so hard, was it? The rewards for contributing to the cause are pretty creative and include trapeze lessons, studio time, a customized song about your pet and other items of the sort. To see exactly what’s going on, you’ll have to head to pledgemusic.com/projects/kitetothemoon.

Hold onto your hats at kitetothemoon.com facebook.com/kitetothemoon, too.

Fresh History: It’s rare that a compilation will appeal as much to old fans as fresh young punters, but damn if the new one from Cloud Recordings doesn’t do just that. The 23-track mix digs deeply into the label’s catalog, with multiple tracks by Circulatory System and the Olivia Tremor Control, New Zealand inspirations Tall Dwarfs and weirdo intangibles like Icy Demons and Pipes You See, Pipes You Don’t. On the newer—a term used very loosely—side of things, there are tracks from Supercluster, Faster Circuits, Nesey Gallons, the New Sound Of Numbers, Old Smokey and Dream Boat. If we paint with a very broad brush, everything on here can fall somewhere within the psych-pop category. But repeated listening brings out all the little spots in the canvas that a broad brush won’t cover. It’s not available for downloading, but you can stream it to your heart’s content over at cloud recordings1.bandcamp.com.

Max · 10 p.m. · Donations Weirdo rockers the Movie Star Junkies hail from Italy, but the band’s flailing blend of punk, garage, blues and psych could have only resulted from a fervent consumption of American music.

The group’s latest music has revealed a latent Nick Cave/Birthday Party influence, vaguely gothic and speckled with doom.

Thanks largely to flailing singer Stephen Isaiah, the Junkies’ live show is a thing to behold. If it’s flailing frontmen you’re after, you better not miss Timmy and the Tumblers, which has quietly become one of the best rock bands in town. Singer Tim Schreiber’s incredible pipes are matched only by his madcap energy, which he channels into acrobatic, crowd-parting somersaults—all without missing a note.

Versailles ’73: American Runway Revolution Georgia Museum of Art · 7 p.m. · FREE! In conjunction with the exhibition, “Fashion Independent: The Original Style of Ann Bonfoey Taylor”—currently on display through Sept. 15—GMOA presents a three-part series of documentary fashion films. Versailles ’73: American Runway Revolution documents a major shift in the fashion world when five American designers were pitted against five masters of French couture—including Givenchy, Dior

Junker, The Honey Sliders, Buffalo Hawk

Caledonia Lounge · 9:30 p.m. · $5 (21+), $7 (18–20) It’s been a few months since the Honey Sliders started taking their rumbly, fourchord rock and roll to the local stage.

And once they arrived, no one could get them off. But if you haven’t caught the band yet, act now, Athens: member Steve Hunter says, “We don’t have anything else booked right now. It may be as long as a couple of months before we play again.”

With the addition of new drummer Ivey Hughes (Futurebirds, Tia Madre) and keyboardist John Watkins (Dead Confederate), the former trio is now a five-piece. Raised on rock, steeped in the underground and served in a dirty glass, the Honey Sliders recall that wonderful era of Athens music when the best bands didn’t deny their roots, but took those elements and made them over in their own image.

and Yves Saint Laurent—in a runway rumble during the 1973 Versailles Ball. In front of an audience of royalty and icons like Princess Grace of Monaco and Andy Warhol, the 10 battled for industry dominance, with the American designers ultimately coming out on top. The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Deborah Riley Draper and a panel of industry professionals. On Sept. 5 the museum will screen Girl Model, a story illustrating the complex global supply chain of young girls aspiring to be models in an

powerhouse This is American Music, boasts more of a groove than most of that label’s roster (which includes locals The District Attorneys; that band’s Frank Keith IV plays bass in Stone’s band) but also fits squarely in its post-Americana wheelhouse. On his Facebook page, Stone cites inspirations as varied as Patsy Cline and David Bowie, but somehow, in his urgent, soulful, slightly glam vocal delivery, it all makes sense.
