The Spirit of Athens Chuck Searcy was in town last week with his bright and competent Vietnamese colleagues, Ngo Xuan Hien and Luong Tuan Hung. They described, during several gatherings, their work administering Project RENEW, the program that removes the treacherous unexploded bombs that litter the countryside in Vietnam. Meanwhile, Chuck’s old friend Harold Williams languishes in Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta, injured as severely as a bomb victim from a fall that broke his neck.

Chuck, in fact, went by to visit Harold while he was in Atlanta.

Chuck is no stranger to Shepherd, where many years ago his sister, Anne, was confined after a spinal injury. When Chuck was visiting Anne back then, he encountered a young man from Zebulon, Vic Chesnutt, fighting to recover from paralyzing injuries suffered in an automobile wreck. Chuck claims that it was he who suggested that Vic move to Athens.

The latest report on Harold is sort of more of the same: He’s moving his thumbs and has some movement in his fingers; he’s wiggling his toes, not much feeling in his right arm, etc. He’s learning to maneuver a wheelchair. It’s still too early to know the long-range picture, but it could very well include our old friend still in that wheelchair.

Meanwhile, nobody in Athens will be surprised to know that Harold is on a first-name basis with all the Shepherd staff—including the founder—and has given nicknames to half of them.

They all love him and bask in his good spirits. His walls are covered with the cards you’ve sent, and they cheer him immensely, so keep them coming to Harold at Room 419, Shepherd Center, 2020 Peachtree Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30309-1465.

Harold was born here and stayed in Athens, after various music-related travels, to settle down, make a living and raise a family. In addition to being everybody’s go-to guy for tax and accounting help, he is a caring, supportive The Spirit of Athens friend and behind-thescenes doer of good deeds. He is, moreover, Mr. Sunshine, with a quip and a pat on the back for everybody, no matter how little sleep he’s running on during tax time.

Chuck represents that other element of Athens life. Like so many others through the years, he came to Athens for college and stayed around to go into business and buy a home.

But Chuck’s path was irregular. His cantankerousness got him invited to leave the university at the height of the war, and he ended up in Saigon in military intelligence, where he fell in love with the country. He came back to Athens, got involved in student politics, started a newspaper, bought a house, then went off to join the Carter administration’s Small Business Administration. He came back to Athens and started a television station and then went off to Atlanta to run the office of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, and he also worked as press secretary to Georgia’s U.S. Senator Wyche Fowler.

He was appointed to another job in Washington, but it was vetoed by the infamous right-wing senator, Jesse Helms, so, instead, Chuck went to Vietnam, at first to head up a veterans’ foundation manufacturing orthotics for crippled people and now working more directly at the source of so much crippling, heading up Project RENEW. You can read about their work at www.landmines.org.vn, and you can also find out there how to make a contribution to their work. Chuck, Hien, Hung and their other staff are working to lift the scourge of mines and bombs; they’re making great progress, and we can help them succeed.

Chuck and Harold: two great avatars of the spirit of Athens, a city that brings out the best in those who are born here and in those who choose Athens as their home, no matter how far away they may live.

Morehead will also be lobbying Gov. Nathan Deal and the legislature next year for a new $45 million science learning center. The Board of Regents approved the funding request last month.

They’re a different color than trash cans, though, and prominently labeled. Solid Waste is also filming a public service announcement that’s a spoof of “The Walking Dead.”

The metal cans were chosen for easy maintenance. “We know it’s going to get tagged,” Jannsen said. “We know it’s going to get stickers. It was important to have something we could repaint and re-sticker.”

The new receptacles cost $30,000 to buy and install, and were paid for out of last year’s budget.

Master Plan: Jack Crowley is back! Having taken a break to successfully guide the UGA College of Environment and Design through the reaccreditation process, Professor Crowley is putting the finishing touches on the downtown master plan, two months late. There will be one last drop-in session to explain what’s in the plan and gather feedback at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce.

Unfortunately, the delay (coupled with ACC officials’ reluctance to pursue the idea) means that a tax allocation district is out of the question for now. A TAD on downtown property could have funneled $20 million in property taxes on new downtown development into roads, sidewalks, trails and parks downtown. Once property values are reset Jan. 1, that figure will drop to about $8 million, Crowley said. The lack of funding means much of the master plan will have to be put off until the next SPLOST in 2020.

Broun Rowndup: While all of Georgia’s Republican Senate candidates supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s quixotic quest to defund Obamacare by fake-filibustering a bill that defunds Obamacare, Rep. Paul Broun was the only one who went down to the Senate to literally stand with Cruz, tweeting the whole time.

People ask me all the time how Broun ever got elected.

That’s how. He knows what the far-right base wants and how to give it to them. Those political skills make him a formidable candidate in a GOP primary.

Clap On, Clap Off: UGA will welcome Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Wednesday, Oct. 15, when he’ll give an 11:15 a.m. speech at the Chapel. Clapper is President Barack Obama’s top national security advisor who lied to Congress in March about whether the National Security Agency was spying on millions of Americans’ phone calls and texts. Local libertarians and Occupy Athens are talking about protesting.

The speech is free but is only open to UGA students, faculty and staff, and a ticket is required. It will also be broadcast live on Channel 15 on UGA and Charter cable and streamed on the UGA website.

capitol impact A Default Would Hurt Georgia Has Washington gone completely crazy?

It was tempting to think that as Republicans fought with Democrats over pushing the federal government into a shutdown or default.

Tea party Republicans like Georgia Reps.

Tom Graves and Paul Broun were ready to shut the government down unless the Affordable Care Actâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also known as Obamacareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was either defunded or delayed. Democrats, including President Obama, said the health care law was not going to be tampered with.

The prospect of a government shutdown wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really that troublesome. We have had them beforeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;most recently in 1996, when Newt Gingrich was the House speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the republic has survived. The more important question is whether Congress will vote to raise the debt ceiling so that the federal government can pay bills it has already incurred. The deadline for that decision is Oct. 17, and if Congress doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise the debt limit, the U.S. will default on the promises it has made to pay off treasury bonds issued to finance government operations.

What would happen in the event of default is not so easy to predict. Words like catastrophe, meltdown and Armageddon are often used to describe the potential impact on the global economy if the U.S. does not make good on its debts. Closer to home, a default could endanger some major projects in Georgia that are absolutely dependent upon the federal government providing money.

The State Road and Tollway Authority is currently in the process of applying for a $275 million federal loan to help pay for construction of the Northwest Corridor toll lanes in Cobb and Cherokee counties, the largest highway project in state history. If the federal government defaults, the authority can probably kiss that loan, and the project, goodbye.

There is also the matter of dredging the Savannah harbor so that Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s port facilities can be expanded, a project that Gov.

Nathan Deal says is essential to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future economic growth. The state legislature has already committed $231 million in state funds for the Savannah harbor project, which has a total cost estimated at $652 million.

Deal and other state officials have been trying for some time to get the remaining money from the Obama administration. If the federal government is pushed into default, there likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be money available for dredging.

A lot is at stake here. We need elected officials with clear heads to get this situation sorted out so that the federal government can do such things as help Georgia with its infrastructure upgrades.

It was encouraging to hear Sen. Johnny Isakson provide some of that clarity last week when he explained on the Senate floor why he would not agree to filibuster a measure that would keep the government in operation.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was urging a filibuster because he said it would stop Obamacare from taking effect. Like his Republican colleagues, Isakson opposes Obamacare, but he pointed out that a government shutdown would not halt its implementation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It [a shutdown] hurts our military, it hurts our healthcare system, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to stop Obamacare,â&#x20AC;? Isakson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize is, you shut the government down, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not shutting down Obamacare. A great percentage of that is mandatory funding. If you shut the government down, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually encouraging Obamacare, and discouraging our government to function as it should. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people of Georgia sent me here to take action, not to avoid action,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They sent me here to run the government, not to shut the government down.â&#x20AC;?

That may have been the sanest remark uttered by a politician the whole week.

Who Will Be Athens’ Next Congressman?

W

ith U.S. Rep. Paul Broun running for Senate, Athens will be getting a new congressman next year—and we won’t lack for options.

Six Republicans and one Democrat are running to replace Broun in the 10th District he’s represented since 2007. The district runs from one liberal college (Athens) to another (Milledgeville) but also encompasses some of the most conservative territory in the state, in suburban Gwinnett County and Augusta and points in between.

The Republicans run the gamut from Brian Slowinski, who wants to gut huge swaths of the federal government, to relative moderate Gary Gerrard, who Oconee County Democratic Party Chairman Dan Matthews says on his blog “demonstrates a broad depth of knowledge on the issues and a basic understanding of how government actually functions that is sadly lacking in most Republican lawmakers these days.”

Ken Dious is the lone Democrat running so far but stands virtually no chance—the Cook Political Report says the district is 14 points more Republican than the country as a whole.

It’s a wide-open race on the Republican side. Former state lawmaker Donna Sheldon has the money and the connections.

Stephen Simpson, Mike Collins and Jody Hice have a little name recognition.

“None of these folks I think are widely known throughout the district,” University of Georgia political science professor Charles Bullock said.

And so, Flagpole presents a first look at the candidates:

Mike Collins trucking company owner, Jackson

Gary Gerrard lawyer, Athens Taxes and spending: People want government services but don’t want to pay for them. Congress should spend no more than what it takes in.

Defense: We have no clear objective in Syria. We should exhaust all our options before going to war, and only then with the approval of Congress.

Immigration: We can’t round up and deport 10-12 million undocumented immigrants. Those who work and pay taxes should be allowed to stay.

The ACA: Repeal it.

Money raised: $23,530 as of June 30, plus $42,500 of his own money.

Money quote: In response to other candidates’ assertions that

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 2, 2013

Jody Hice pastor and talk-radio host, Loganville Taxes and spending: Pass a balanced budget amendment.

Abolish the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. They’re unconstitutional.

Defense: What happened in Syria was “repulsive” and “tragic,” but both sides hate the U.S., so we should let them fight each other. A strike could backfire on Israel.

Immigration: Undocumented immigrants shouldn’t get any benefits. Withhold federal funding for “sanctuary cities” that don’t go after undocumented immigrants.

The ACA: Repeal it.

Money raised: $81,116 as of June 30.

Money quote: “Socialism is a failed economic theory. It has never worked, and it never will work.”

Fun facts: Once convinced the Barrow County Commission to post the Ten Commandments in its courthouse, then fought an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit. Lost to U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Lawrenceville) in 2010.

His campaign manager, Jordan Chinouth, used to work for Broun.

Donna Sheldon business owner, Dacula

Blake Aued

Taxes and spending: Cut taxes, including the state and capital gains taxes. Less regulation on small businesses.

Defense: We should have invaded Syria at the beginning of the uprising, but now it’s too late.

Immigration: Finish the fence along the Mexican border. No amnesty for undocumented immigrants. Take a piecemeal approach to reform; don’t try to pass one big bill.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA): Repeal it.

Money raised: $67,110 as of June 30, plus $50,000 of his own money.

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

• indicates new review • BAGGAGE CLAIM (PG-13) This romantic comedy about a stewardess, Montana (Paula “Mrs. Robin Thicke” Patton), conducting a transcontinental search for a spouse wastes a talented cast (Patton, Derek Luke, Taye Diggs, Djimon Hounsou and Ned Beatty?) in a sub-Tyler Perry situation. Many (not all) of Perry’s movies leave something to vaguely recommend, but David E. Talbert’s adaptation of his own novel does not. Stereotypical crazy ladies (see Tia Mowry-Hardrict) and besties, both gay (Brody) and oversexed (Jill Scott). There’s little to nothing to see or like here. Don’t bother making this connection.

BATTLE OF THE YEAR (PG-13) The Battle of the Year attracts breakdancing teams from around the world. The American team hasn’t won the trophy in 15 years. Josh Holloway (Sawyer from “Lost”) stars as the basketball coach tasked with turning these individual superstars, including Chris Brown and Josh Peck (Red Dawn), into a team.

The presence of Brown is an immediate turnoff. Director Benson Lee’s previous feature was the award winning breakdancing documentary, Planet B-Boy. BEER HUNTER There’s more than one Michael Jackson. Classic City Brew Fest presents a screening of the documentary about beer journalist Michael Jackson. He did more to assist the current craft brewing craze got off the ground than almost anyone. (Thanks, Michael!) Beer Hunter celebrate Michael’s life, so come raise a cold one to the man who nearly singlehandedly made sure that cold one wasn’t simply a Something Light. Terrapin is sponsoring a Happy Hour and raffle to coincide with the screening. (Ciné) BLUE JASMINE (PG-13) Oh my god!

Andrew Dice Clay in a Woody Allen movie? I’m so in. 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.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 (PG) The animated family comedy, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, wasn’t quite one for which a sequel seemed necessary. Inventor Flint Lockwood (v. Bill Hader) is working for The Live Corp Company when

he must leave his job to investigate claims that his machine is creating food-animal hybrids. This flick sounds like it barely escaped a direct to DVD launch.

• DON JON (R) So actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt can do little wrong in my opinion, and his feature writing/ directing debut absolutely succeeds despite its strange late film tonal shift. Jersey boy Jon (Gordon-Levitt) loves the ladies, his pad, his car, his family, his boys, his church and his porn. But when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), Jon learns he might have to give up his favorite pastime. Jon makes further discoveries when he meets a sad, community college classmate, Esther (Julianne Moore). JG-L proves a technically superb filmmaker in his rookie outing. Don Jon is excellently, stylishly composed and edited without being over-directed. This awfully adult dramedy might make some viewers uncomfortable with its rather frank sexuality, especially regarding Jon’s porn watching habits. But mature audiences will enjoy an all too topical discussion of how the Internet has potentially changed young people’s sexual expectations with its easy access pornography. Plus, the movie’s funny. Just witness a few of Jon’s weekly shouting matches-cum-dinners with his parents (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly) and always silently texting sister (Brie Larson, The Spectacular Now). Don Jon will be remembered as one of 2013’s more unsung cinematic heroes.

THE FAMILY (R) Fred Blake (Robert De Niro) and his family are in international witness protection under the gruff, watchful eye of Tommy Lee Jones’ FBI agent, but the real people who need protecting are the Blake/ Manzoni’s neighbors. The Blake/ Manzoni family are all sociopathic gangsters. Talk about ugly Americans.

Gallic filmmaker Luc Besson has spent recent years focusing on writing and producing such hits as The Transporters and the Takens and less time directing the action movies upon which he built his name. Great mob movies are a treasure; mob comedies, as a genre, need to be buried.

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 but has produced a lot as head of After Dark Films.

THE GRANDMASTER (PG-13) Wong Kar Wai returns with his first action film since 1994’s Ashes of Time. He’s also tackling the legendary Ip Man, the Chinese martial artist who trained the iconic Bruce Lee. Frequent Wong Kar Wai collaborator Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Infernal Affairs) stars as Yip Man. The film also reunites Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s lovers, Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen. (Ciné) GRAVITY (PG-13) Alfonso Cuaron hasn’t directed a film since Children of Men? How unlucky could we be?

Fortunately for us genre fans, Cuaron returns with a science fiction film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. After an accident occurs in space, an engineer and an astronaut struggle to survive. The Gravity trailer is one of the most effective ones I’ve recently seen, and I’m almost convinced to check this movie out in

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 (PG-13) When Josh (Patrick Wilson) returned from the spirit world at the conclusion of Insidious, he didn’t return alone, and his family—wife Renai (Rose Byrne) and sons Dalton (Ty Simpkins) and Foster (Andrew Astor)—is in danger.

Chapter 2 is like a reverse Insidious.

Chapter 1 had its chilling, mysterious first two acts bogged down by Josh’s blah final stroll through the spirit world. The sequel painfully explicates a dumb story for two acts, relying on trite haunted house tropes like slamming doors and flying household objects, before a strong final act that finally brings the scary and some nifty callbacks to the first movie.

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) This crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia chronicles 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—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia.

Stop calling me Robin.

IMAX. Featuring Ed Harris as the voice of Mission Control.

GROWN UPS 2 (PG-13) Former Hollywood bigshot Lenny Feder (Sandler) moves his family back to his tiny hometown, but rather than spend time with them, he mostly hangs out with his childhood besties—Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock) and Higgins (David Spade)—and some meathead hangers-on (including Nick Swardson and Shaquille O’Neal).

Grown Ups 2’s biggest accomplishment is how worthless it is. Argue all you want about what a great guy Sandler is, because at this point in his career you’ll find it impossible to convince someone he’s still funny, or better yet, relevant.

IN A WORLD… (R) Lake Bell is one talented lady. She’s funny, pretty and not a shabby writer-director. Her directorial debut, In a World…, won Sundance’s award for Best Screenplay.

Bell stars as Carol, a voice coach who longs to crack the movie trailer voiceover glass ceiling. Her dad just so happens to be the vocal king of movie trailers. The trailer promises a fun indie comedy. With Rob Corddry, Eva Longoria, Ken Marino, Demetri Martin, Nick Offerman and Geena Davis. (Ciné) INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED (PG-13) No Se Aceptan Devoluciones tells the story of an infamous bachelor from Mexico who becomes an unlikely father when a baby is left on his doorstep.

THE LITTLE TIN MAN Ciné presents the Athens premiere of this independent comedy from UGA alums Matthew Perkins (co-writer and director), Nathan Dugan Bridges (co-writer) and Aaron Beelner. Struggling dwarf actor Herman (Beelner) seeks to be a leading man in Martin Scorsese’s latest film, a remake of The Wizard of Oz. Star Beelner will be present for a Q&A. With Jeff Hiller, Chris Henry Coffey, Michael McGlone and many other comics from the celebrated Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and Broadway. (Ciné) PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), must save Camp Half-Blood, the safe haven for the gods’ half-mortal children. Backed by his pals, 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. 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) What with its Cars pedigree and Dane Cook voicework, Planes could have been a lot worse. 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?

PRISONERS (R) Don’t head into Prisoners if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted escapism. On a rainy Thanksgiving, two young girls go missing. The parents, Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis, look everywhere but eventually turn to the police, represented by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). An obvious prime suspect, the mentally challenged Alex Jones (Paul Dano), appears, but no further clues can be found. A dark morality play from Contraband scripter Aaron Guzikowski, the two and a half hour Prisoners lasts a while. Jackman will probably land on the Academy’s shortlist for his turn as survivalist Dover, who won’t give up on his daughter; he also goes further to find her than the law allows. As Jackman’s co-lead, Gyllenhaal furthers separates himself from his pretty peers, though Guzikowski could have opened up Loki a bit more for the audience. He remains more a determined cipher than a complete character as his dogged drive is never examined. Villeneuve’s Prisoners feels like home-grown Haneke; it’s a tough, mature box office hit.

RIDDICK (R) Five years after the events of Chronicles, Riddick (Vin Diesel) is stranded on a hostile planet.

Much as in Pitch Black, Riddick’s peculiar skill set is needed to help his human foes defeat the planet’s native creatures. Diesel nails Riddick’s charismatic killer, but it’s easy to pull for him when his hunters are so lackluster. l RUNNER RUNNER (R) Justin Timberlake stars as Richie Furst, a Princeton undergrad who loses his tuition money in an online poker scam. Rather than simply learning his lesson, Richie heads to the remote island where the game is hosted and confronts Ivan Block (Ben Affleck).

Suddenly, Richie is Ivan’s right hand man and in the crosshairs of FBI Agent Zbysko (Anthony Mackie).

Director Brad Furman last helmed The Lincoln Lawyer, which was better than expected. With Gemma Arterton.

• RUSH (R) You will never know you are watching a Ron Howard film during this recreation of the 1976 Formula One battle between James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). The rivalry merely heats up after Lauda suffers lifethreatening burns during a midseason race. Howard recreates the sensational racing more realistically than any racing movie I have ever seen, and the script by Academy Award nominee Peter Morgan (his The Queen remains one of my favorite films of the last decade) fashions realistic people from these larger than life race car drivers.

Hemsworth is terrific at being likably arrogant, but we all knew that from Thor and The Avengers. It is Bruhl, best known to American audiences from Inglourious Basterds, who captivates. His level-headed, unpleasantly disciplined Lauda overcomes the odds to stand out as the film’s champion, no matter who wins on the racetrack.

Whether or not you like racing or Ron Howard films, Rush is that rare adult action drama that never loses speed on or off the track.

THE SPECTACULAR NOW (R) 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.

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. 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.

THIS IS THE END (R) This metacomedy from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (their directorial debuts!) stars Rogen and a bunch of his pals— James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel and a lot more—as they face the end of the world. With almost any comic actor one can think of or recognize.

TURBO (PG) After a first act highlighted by endearing animation and stellar voice work from Ryan Reynolds and Paul Giamatti, Turbo gets stupid, as the main mollusk is imbued with the abilities of a car after a freak accident involving a street racer and some nitrous. Turbo and his other racing snail pals head to the Indy 500, where they will face off against defending champion and world’s greatest racecar driver, Guy Gagne (v. Bill Hader).

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.

THE WOLVERINE (PG-13) A darker, more complicated hero than Marvel’s super-bankable Iron Man and SpiderMan, Wolvie poses a narrative difficulty, much like The Punisher, who Hollywood has yet to get right. 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 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 blue-blooded robots. The jokes all land and the comic beats/pauses are perfectly synced. As silly as the bits can be, The World’s End captures the melancholy of growing up, old and apart from childhood friends.

YOU’RE NEXT (R) With the strongest cold open since Scream, this home invasion flick ratchets up the tension for an hour and a half without ever letting up. A well-to-do family 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). Wingard and collaborator Simon Barrett take a well-known, beloved and maligned genre, turning it on its head with gleefully violent abandon.

Drew Wheeler

movie pick Battle of the Larynx IN A WORLDâ&#x20AC;Ś (R) The producers behind a big budget science fiction series have decided to resurrect famous voice actor Don LaFontaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line for promotional purposes, so the two biggest silky throats in the business, Sam Soto (Fred Melamed) and Gustav Warner (Ken Marino), are the obvious choices to nab the job. But when Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggling voice coach daughter, Carol (Lake Bell), also decides to try for the big gig, tension between father and daughter hit an all-time high.

Since the late 1970s, Hollywood studio movies havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly had a great track record when it comes to offering up a variety of roles for actresses over the age of 30. There are plenty of lovably nutty girlfriends, sexless wives and shrewDemetri Martin and ish spinsters around, as well as prostitutes with hearts of gold. In recent years, kick-ass heroines with almost supernatural physicality have blown up at the box office, but despite the attempt by filmmakers to give women a chance to duke it out like their male action hero counterparts, the movies are nevertheless superficial in regards to offering viewers (who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 13-year-old boys) complex representations of femininity.

It is even worse if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a female director.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell actress/filmmaker Bell that.

Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;best known for her television workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; wrote, produced, directed and stars in this breezy, very funny and occasionally insightful comedy, peculiarly set in the world of voiceover actors like the late LaFontaine, the man who made famous the line â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a worldâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? in countless movie trailers. In a Worldâ&#x20AC;Ś also has some pointed things to say about women working in Hollywood and the kind of male chauvinism that permeates the industry. That Bell is able to fly her feminist flag and still keep the movie hilarious without being heavyhanded is a real pleasure to behold.

Although Bell is fantastic in the lead role, the real scene-stealers are the wonderful character actors she surrounds herself with, Lake Bell such as Demetri Martin, Ken Marino, Rob Corddry and Michaela Watkins. The standout, however, is burly honey-voiced Melamed, a veteran actor whom many will recognize from his brilliant turn as Sy Ableman in the Coen brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Serious Man. In a Worldâ&#x20AC;Ś isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always on track, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shortage of sharp, original and silly comedies out there, and it makes one anxious to see what Bell will come up with next.

Mercyland, Together Again

Y

ounger folks in town who know David Barbe as the mild-mannered and cheerful director of the University of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music Business Certificate Program or as the head of local recording studio Chase Park Transduction might be surprised to learn of his punk rock past as the bassist and co-lead singer of Athens power trio Mercyland. In fact, Barbe was a key figure in the deep underground of Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music scene in the 1980s.

This weekend, Barbe will reunite with three of his Mercyland bandmatesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;drummer Joel Suttles and guitarists Andrew Donaldson and Mark Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;offering music fans who missed out the first time around a chance to experience a bit of the punk-fueled sound and spirit of that heyday.

When Barbe moved to Athens in 1981 to attend UGA, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a very punk-heavy scene, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Atlanta bands always made fun of the Athens bands, because they were punks from the big city and we were some sort of art school scene,â&#x20AC;? Barbe recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, to me, those years from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;81 through â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;83 were the most exciting times.â&#x20AC;?

Barbe assembled the first version of Mercyland in the fall of 1985 with Craig (previously of the Kilkenny Cats) and hard-hitting drummer Harry Joiner. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest material was rowdy and aggressive, but a hint of melodic power-pop snuck in amidst the punkish energy (imagine the Clash and the Buzzcocks crossed with Minutemen and HĂźsker DĂź).

In early 1986, Mercyland entered engineer and musician John Keaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new studio in Cobbham. The high-speed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall of the Cityâ&#x20AC;? was one of three songs to land on the Proud oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Me Gluttony compilation, a collection of songs by underground Athens bands released on cassette by Barbeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DRG (aka Dominant Rock Gods) Records. Released in 1986, the tape also included songs by the Primates, Bar-B-Q Killers, Time Toy, Porn Orchard, Eat America and the La-Di-Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Both Donaldson and Suttles had joined in the lineup when Mercyland recorded its first full-length, 1989â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Feet On the Cowling, released on Communion Records. The melodic pop elements on songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guessing Time is Goneâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rotten on the Vineâ&#x20AC;? balanced the high-speed thrash of tunes like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceed with Discretion.â&#x20AC;? Power-chord anthems â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chainsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gets My Soul to Vigorâ&#x20AC;? added depth to the mix.

Cowling earned positive reviews, but as the band members worked on new projects, careers, and families, Mercyland gradually slowed down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We planned our break-up six months in advance without telling anybody,â&#x20AC;? Barbe says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to release the Enter the Crafty Bear EP on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 1991, and play our last show on the same day. We wanted to part

happily as friends. We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed doing this; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoy ending it, too.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

After Mercylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s split, Barbe remained in the music business, playing bass and guitar and producing albums for numerous artists, including Sugar (a band that also featured former HĂźsker DĂź frontman Bob Mould). In 1997, Barbe partnered with Andy Baker and Andy LeMaster to establish Chase Park Transduction as one of Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; main recording spots.

Mercylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music made its way into the mixing console at Chase Park in 2010, when Barbe brought the original reels from the Cowling sessions in for a remix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andrew and Joel and I had been talking about the band after we got together to play a set at Vic Chesnuttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service at the 40 Watt,â&#x20AC;? Barbe says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vic was a great friend of Mercyland. That memorial gig is what led to us discussing doing a remix and rerelease.â&#x20AC;?

Mercyland had originally tracked Cowling at Keaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio with Cowboy Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred LeBlanc co-producing. Barbe wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved in the production process, and he had reservations about the final mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had too much of that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s production: too trebly, too much digital reverb, too clicky on the drums, not enough bass,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got done [remixing] it, it was actually pretty smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I think it sounds way better than anything else we ever recorded or released. It sounds like what we believed we sounded like at that time.â&#x20AC;?

Barbe released the enhanced version of the record online in 2010. Not long after, organizers from AthFest approached Barbe about having Mercyland perform at the 40 Watt as part of that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showcase, but the plan fell through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept talking about it, and we thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into the idea of doing a show, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we just do it when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Barbe says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That turned into the idea of putting all of the lineups of the band on stage at the 40 Watt. Mark hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picked up a guitar in 15 years, but he was totally into it, so Andrew and Joel and I will play, and Mark will join us for a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only playing songs that we still have emotional connections to,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting this together has been really fun, because there has been no disagreement about anything. We always got along great, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise.â&#x20AC;?

Meet Your New Neighbor Kishi Bashi Hunkers Down in Athens ever there was an apt time to reach someone for a phone interview, Flagpole stumbled upon it when we dialed up Kishi Bashi, or Kaoru Ishibashi, the violin virtuoso and sought-after collaborator who has worked with artists like of Montreal, Regina Spektor and Sondre Lerche.

You see, Ishibashi—or K, as he’s known to his friends—was not far from Norfolk, VA, his longtime home, winding his way down the East Coast toward Athens, his new home, where he’ll cap off a tour at the 40 Watt on Oct. 4.

“I was seeking a change,” he explains.

“Somewhere I could put up my studio. It’s been pretty ideal, since many of the engineers, artists and producers I work with live [in Athens].”

But no matter where home is, Ishibashi hasn’t been spending much time there over the past few years. Since releasing his debut solo album 151a last year (and performing at the Flagpole Athens Music Awards last summer), he’s spent a great deal of time on the road, promoting the record both here and in Japan.

NPR named Kishi Bashi 2012’s “Artist of the Year,” and he truly earned the title—not only through his music, but through the other forms of art he weaves into his performances.

Last spring, he had local artist Dana Jo Cooley (she of the Love Shack Bus Shelter and the Flagpole Athens Music Award trophies) create a set

If

Shervin L aine z

of whimsical trees for him to play among onstage.

“I got it from of Montreal,” Ishibashi says of his interest in creating little worlds onstage. “They’re dedicated not just to a sound experience, but also a visual assault. A lot of bands think it’s all about the music, and a lot of it is, but on the other half of it, it’s also a show. I think creating a world makes a difference. It also helps me chronicle what tour it is, in a way. I like to have each tour be a little different.”

Ishibashi is also a master of the music video, from the poignant stop-motion animation he conceived with former Pixar wizard Anthony Scott for his song “I Am the Antichrist to You” to a delightfully strange collaboration with his sister-in-law and Japanese girl group Tokyo Cheer Party for “It All Began with a Burst.”

“My sister-in-law is a manager in Japan, and she works with some of those girl groups,” says Ishibashi. “I suggested, ‘What if those girls lip-sync to my video?’ And they were like, ‘Yeah!’”

His sister-in-law choreographed dance moves and transcribed the song’s English lyrics into a sort of homophonous Japanese gibberish, so Tokyo Cheer Party could memorize the song.

Ever the fan of layering, Ishibashi then translated the gibberish back into English, overlaying the video with nonsensical subtitles. The resulting video sports some of the oddball innocence of Michel Gondry—a favorite artist of Ishibashi’s.

After a year of touring solo to support 151a, Ishibashi recently added a drummer to his live

lineup. It’s no surprise that he’d want one; from the beginning, he has fixated on creating an incredible amount of sound— with vocals, both in Japanese and English, hand claps, beatboxing, virtuosic violin work—and using enough looping pedal layers to make your head spin.

If all the elements listed above sound a little strange to put together, consider this: fully one-third of 151a has been used in commercials, from “Bright Whites” appearing in a Windows 8 ad to “Chester’s Burst Over the Hamptons” showing up in a spot for Smart Cars in the U.S. And if the arbiters of corporate marketing money trust the guy to sell their products, you know the music’s got to be catchy.

“I’m so glad that people don’t care anymore!” Ishibashi says, recalling when fans of indie bands used to flame artists for “selling out” their art. “of Montreal got it bigtime with their Outback Steakhouse commercial,” he continues. “I was mad at them before I knew them. But now, record sales are so slow, and touring is the only way to go, and I think fans are more supportive. It’s a valuable resource.”

And just as touring and the occasional ad placement are valuable resources for musicians, so is Kishi Bashi a valuable addition to the local music community. Go out and support him this weekend. It is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.

Music News And Gossip Stream Away: HHBTM Records has steadily been adding more archival material to its Bandcamp site. One of the latest things to hit the web is the 12-inch Form A Line single

by Tunabunny. Originally released for Record Store Day 2012, the record features four versions of the title track, including the original single version, a “line dance version,” a dub version and a remix with Vanessa BriscoeHay (Pylon, Supercluster) doing the lead vocal. It’s this last version that’s probably my favorite, but I’ve gotta admit I’ve been listening to all of them back to back just like they were rare New Order remixes or some such thing. It’s best to probably listen to the original version first, with its gritty rhythm, hyper-melodic vocals and the oddly uplifting repeating guitar run that ends each measure on a high note. In addition to this release,

Hand Sand Hands HHBTM is packing the Bandcamp page with releases dating back to 1999, many of which are utterly out of print. It seems like the label might start posting its new releases, too, as a new 7-inch single by Oakland, CA’s Bam!Bam! just got added to the site. Go poke around and find some new favorites at hhbtmrecords. bandcamp.com.

Well, Happy Birthday, Y’all: Athens’ premier musicians’ resource center, Nuçi’s Space, will celebrate its 13th anniversary Friday, Oct. 4 from 5:30–9:30 p.m. with performances from songwriters Dave Marr and Matt Hudgins.

This is an open house celebration and will also feature a silent auction, refreshments and a photo booth courtesy of Ali Phillips Photography. It’s a free event, but if you’ve got a few bucks to throw toward the cause, they’d be honored to accept your donation.

For general information on Nuçi’s Space, please see nuci.org, and for regular updates on its ongoing activities, head to facebook. com/nucisspace.

Perfect Sound Forever: When this band’s first reunion happened several years ago, it was like Halley’s Comet: I never thought I’d see it again in my lifetime. Then when it happened again in 2010, I was beside-myself thrilled.

Now I just feel like, even though it’s not the ground-shattering news it once was, I’d be

utterly remiss in my duties if I didn’t mention that the mighty, mighty Mercyland will once again hit an Athens stage. The show happens at the 40 Watt Club Saturday, Oct. 5 and will also feature decades-long Athens stalwarts Bloodkin. Weirdly, the show has been billed on Facebook as “Mercyland’s first proper show in over 22 years.” I dunno. The others felt pretty proper to me, but then again, I admit full-stop to being an utterly fawning Mercyland fan. All it takes is one listen to the band’s 1989 album No Feet On the Cowling— streamable via mercyland.bandcamp.com—to understand why.

Get Gritty: Experimental project Hand Sand Hands, the product of the mind of Jonathan Miller, is releasing its newest album, Lord of Talk, Thursday, Oct. 3 at local house-party destination The Fortress. An enormously cool bit of news related to this is that Miller recently recorded a song specifically for a choreographed dance that will be performed at Minneapolis, MN’s Walker Art Museum on Nov. 30. The dance, created by professional choreographers Kaleena Miller and Galen Higgins, is tentatively titled “Yes Yes No No,” and the Hand Sand Hands track is titled “Pontiac.” The noisy, practically anxietyinducing piece can be heard at soundcloud.com/handsandhands/pontiac, and the new full-length album, dated for official release Oct. 12 but available now, can be streamed at handsandhands.bandcamp.com.

Super Sweet 16: Athens old-timers who hit their stride circa the 1990s will be edified to know that their enthusiasm hasn’t gone unappreciated in central Europe. The cheeky rockers in Je Suis France, which is (amazingly) still a relatively cohesive unit, albeit in an onagain/off-again manner, will have their newest album, Coleslaw III Drymouth, released by Polish label Diskette Records LTD. The album comes out exclusively on cassette tape Oct. 25, which is also the 16th anniversary of the first time the band played live. Additionally, the zoo-crew dudes have a new EP planned for release on Veteran’s Day titled Darkstard, which member DJ Hammond reports is “our interpretation of the [Grateful] Dead’s ‘Dark Star,’ except it’s all about Darkness’ (aka France member Ryan Martin) Mustard Conglomerate.” I considered briefly asking Hammond to elaborate on this, but then realized that I probably couldn’t handle any more. I’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available with regard to a planned release show for Coleslaw III Drymouth, which looks like it might happen sometime in November.

Get Out and Look Around Mosey Along: The third annual Pulaski Street Art Crawl, now officially sponsored by the Athens Area Arts Council, provides an intimate look into a dozen exhibit spaces and private artist studios all found within a half mile of each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare for so many artists to be concentrated into a considerably small city, let alone a half mile, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep on this opportunity to bask in the glow of what makes Athens so distinct from other places of comparable size.

The free self-guided walking tourâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;set for Saturday, Oct. 5, 5 p.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9 p.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;begins at the Leathers Building, located at 675 Pulaski St., where participants can park and pick up a map. A highlight of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art crawl is the studio of sculptor and painter Stan Mullins.

Curated by AthensHasArt!, the stop includes a sculpture garden of works by Amanda Jane Lyons, projections by Mary Willougby, Butoh performances by Aida Curtis and property tours with Mullins. Other stops include exhibits at The Grit, CinĂŠ, Flicker Theatre & Bar and Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Best, as well as the private studios of painter Chatham Murray and potter Maria Dondero. A special show of works by the Georgia Sculptors Society will be on display at the final destination, ARTiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Lounge.

The tour culminates with a block party at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phoenix Cornerâ&#x20AC;? at the intersection of Pulaski and Broad Streets. For more details, visit www. athensarts.org.

visiting six selected cities in Georgia, including Athens on Friday, Oct. 4 and Saturday, Oct. 5. Centered on the production of dance and mural art in public spaces, the weekend features installations, workshops and lectures.

Later in the afternoon at 2 p.m., the group will host a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ballet Class Through Contemporary Toolsâ&#x20AC;? at the UGA Dance Building. The day wraps up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;(this is an) Act of Devotion,â&#x20AC;? a physical installation comprised of dancers from 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 p.m. at the Georgia Museum of Art.

Folk Fest Returns calendar picks The Lineup Mixes Old & New at Sandy Creek Park

Darnell Boys

As

the North Georgia Folk Festival approaches, director Tommy Jordan has had to consider how to improve on a formula that has already proven successful.

The annual festival has become a longstanding fall tradition, and this will be its 29th year.

“There are people who started coming when they were kids,” says Jordan. “And now they’re bringing their kids.”

The festival takes place this Saturday at Sandy Creek Park. Gates open at 10:30 a.m., and music will begin at 11:30 with a performance by the Athens Montessori School Ukulele Club—the festival’s youngest budding bluegrass artists—and Wooten’s Woopets, lifesize puppets to be enjoyed by children and grownups alike. A tent will be set up for the entirety of the day where teachers from the Athens Montessori School will tend to children to allow parents to enjoy the music. There will also be a nearby playground and various art activities for kids to take part in.

While the festival will resemble those of years past, it will also include many new faces.

“Every year I try to mix it up a lot,” says Jordan. “It allows me to reach out.”

The musical lineup includes Roy Tench, an old-time fiddler from Habersham County, who will be accompanied by local artist and Grammy Award winner Art Rosenbaum on banjo. Local favorites the Solstice Sisters will be followed by the down-home blues-folk of the Darnell Boys and bluegrass from the Borderhop Five.

The Rosin Sisters will sing tight harmonies and play triple fiddles along with guitar and banjo. Emerald Road, an Irish folk-dance band, will grace the stage just before headliner, John McCutcheon, an internationally renowned storyteller, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist. String Theory will close out the evening with the high-energy, danceable old time tunes the band is known for.

“It’s not going to be a dance,” says Jordan, who is also a member of String Theory. “But I sure hope that dancing erupts.”

Other musicians are welcomed to bring instruments and make their own music in a dedicated “jam tent” that will be set up on the back of the field all day.

Festival-goers will also have the opportunity for a hands-on celebration of folk art.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 2, 2013

Demonstrations will be given from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m., showing the making of various folk crafts. Artist and illustrator Peter Loose, whose paintings will adorn the stage, will teach a painting class for children, and kids who join in will even get to keep their work. The Cotton Patch Quilters will return to the festival to showcase their handmade quilts and to lead quilting activities for interested children. David Van Wyk and Luke Snyder of Bloodroot Blades will demonstrate blacksmithing.

Additional demonstrations include traditional sweetgrass basket making by Rebecca Gilliard and broom making with Rosa Hall.

Brenda McKaig will hand spin wool from her own flock of sheep. Silversmith Jim Richardson will demonstrate the forging of silver into jewelry, and the Classic City Woodturners will be showing how wood turning is done on a lathe. Local fixture Cap Man will also be there with his bottle-cap truck and artwork.

The festival will feature artists and vendors selling corn shuck dolls, jewelry, pottery, glass, wood carvings, gourd art, knitted and crocheted wool, nature photography, soap, granola, beeswax candles and paintings.

And of course, over the long day of folk music and art, festival attendees won’t be asked to go hungry.

“There’s a variety of food, and it’s all delicious,” says Jordan. “People are welcome to bring a picnic, but they don’t have to.”

People are also encouraged to bring chairs or a blanket to sprawl out during what is sure to be a beautiful October day.

“I think it will be a nice day of music, and a good day of art,” says Jordan. “And we just hope for good weather.”

3rd Annual Autumn Harvest Feast

The Hill · 4–7 p.m. · $60 Much to the delight of local gastronomes, this year’s Autumn Harvest Feast has added more local chefs to its lineup.

Presented by the Athens Farmers Market, 14 chefs will use local ingredients to create dishes benefiting your taste buds as well as Wholesome Wave Georgia, an organization dedicated to increasing the availability of wholesome, locally grown food to under-served communities. A known advocate for “producer-only” farmer’s markets, WWG is also an upholder of Double Dollars for EBT cardholders, which benefits both the local shopper and the local farmer. Restaurants represented include Last Resort Grill, The Grit, Five & Ten and The National, among others. A family-style dinner will be accompanied by live music from String Theory and welcoming remarks

by Flagpole’s Pete McCommons. This 3rd Annual Autumn Harvest Feast promises to gratify your tummy as well as your community. [Sarah Temple Stevenson] MUSIC | Monday, Oct. 7

Jimmy Eat World, Matt Pond

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $25 Mesa, AZ emo-rockers Jimmy Eat World have been going strong since the late-’90s, churning out album after painstakingly confessional album, even as band members approach middle age. The group’s 2001 posi-pop single “The Middle” was met with

mainstream love, but the band has since settled back into an indie existence. The journey has imbued Jimmy Eat World’s music with a sense of prudence; the latest LP, Damage, is a sure-footed (dare we say mature?) thing. Opener Matt Pond is similarly seasoned, having consistently traversed melodic, wistful pop-folk terrain since 1998. Formerly known as Matt Pond PA, his band—which features guitarist and noted studio engineer Chris Hansen and bassist Tierney Tough, of Orlando hotshots the Pauses—is air-tight and tender in all the right places. [Gabe Vodicka] MUSIC | Tuesday, Oct. 8

Dawes, Caitlin Rose

Georgia Theatre · 7 p.m. · $20 Dawes sounds a lot like what it really is: a folky, country-influenced indie rock band from Los Angeles. That’s probably

reductionist, but it speaks volumes about the band’s lush sound, which has drawn numerous comparisons to Jackson Browne and other folk-rockers of the 1960s and ‘70s. The group has been on a steady incline since its first record, North Hills, was released in 2009, touring the country with likeminded bands like Blitzen Trapper since. Dawes has released two follow-up records, both of which have been lauded by critics (2011’s Nothing is Wrong and this year’s Stories Don’t End). Country singersongwriter Caitlin Rose, from Nashville, opens the show. [Dan Mistich] MUSIC | Tuesday, Oct. 8

Angel Olsen, Pillars & Tongues Normaltown Hall · 9 p.m. · $8 St. Louis native and Chicago resident Angel Olsen wowed critics (including yours truly) with last year’s Half Way Home LP, on which the songwriter used her big, beautiful voice to reveal a startling set of tiny human truths. She has since gained considerable momentum: while Half Way Home saw the light of day thanks to the awesome-but-miniscule Asheville imprint Bathetic, its follow-up is set to be released on indie giant Jagjaguwar. Olsen has been debuting a few of the new tracks live over the past few months. “Forgiven/ Forgotten,” which she premiered at the Pitchfork Music Festival in July, showcased a psych-ier, more rocking version of her established ‘60s folk-influenced sound, thanks to her newly assembled backing band. Expect Tuesday’s show to be a quieter, though no less impactful, affair.

Not Really Looking to Fall In Love or Whatever

G

Kelly Hart

enevieve would never have expected to still be hanging out with Caspian Quinn so much four months after they met. Not that they were officially dating.

Her assumption that they were only hooking up was part of the reason she’d kept texting with Casey all summer about all the things they were going to do when he moved to Athens (though, of course, deep down she hadn’t really believed he’d come, and she partly wished he hadn’t).

Before she met Caspian, she hadn’t even liked his music that much. It just seemed like the wordy whinings of another white guy, like something her dad would listen to on 97.1 The River. When Casey made her listen to The Joy of Sects it had just bored her. All the songs were about failed relationships and what a jerk he was to women, apart from a few about his tortured feelings about male authority figures such as his stepfather and God or about his vacillations between arrogance and self-loathing. “It’s so self-indulgent,” she’d told Casey, who was disappointed, since it was his current favorite album.

But then in June her friend Jake invited her to the afterparty when Ham Rove opened at the 40 Watt for Artemis March, and all the members of Waning Gibbous—Caspian, Bob and Asher—were there. Everyone was excited because it had been a great show, and all the younger people who came with Ham Rove were trying to act blasé about being at Althea Edison’s super-nice house and hanging out with so many local luminaries. Genevieve was wearing her favorite red dress from Goodwill and was dancing in the living room with her shoes off to the Talking Heads, and Caspian started dancing next to her.

He definitely wasn’t her type physically; he was so tall and skinny and odd-looking.

When her friends had talked about how hot he was, she couldn’t understand it at all.

“He looks like Lurch,” she’d said. But now, watching him from the corner of her eye while he danced, she could see why people thought he was cool. His moves were funny, but he was obviously enjoying himself as he strutted and twirled.

She was a little drunk by that point and was thinking about how her hippie neighbor in college was always talking about people’s “auras.” He caught her looking at him and laughed, and then grabbed her hand and spun her under his arm.

“Do you live in Athens?” he asked her when the song was done. “I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.” He pulled a bandana from his back pocket and mopped the sweat from his forehead.

“I just moved back here from Chicago,” she told him. He was over a foot taller than her, and she had to crane her neck to look in his eyes.

“Very interesting,” he said, bending his face closer to hers.

His long hair brushed her cheek. A new song started and he started shuffling from side to side again. “What brought you back?” he shouted over the music. While they danced she told him about Midnight Jesus and about her friend’s show at Flicker she was playing at the next week. She told him she played the drums.

“Are you any good?” he asked.

“Pretty good,” she said.

“I’m Caspian, by the way,” he said when that song ended.

As if anyone there didn’t know. He put out his hand to shake and when she took it he held her hand for an extra moment.

She could feel her friends gawking at them from the other side

of the room and felt herself flush a little. She almost thought for a second that he was going to kiss her.

Soon after that he disappeared, and so she was shocked that Wednesday when she looked out at the very small crowd in Flicker and saw him standing near the back, nodding along to the music. She almost dropped a drumstick. He grinned at her and gave a little wave and thumbs-up. After the show he asked for her number, and he called her the very next day to ask her out. They browsed records at Wuxtry and he bought her a copy of his favorite graphic novel, Blankets. She felt people she didn’t know staring at her.

Even though he was nine years older than her and even though they didn’t like any of the same music, he was surprisingly funny and easy to talk to. They hardly stopped laughing the whole night, from dinner and drinks until he walked her home. He called her again the next day and the day after that.

he still didn’t expect anything to come of it, since a guy like him obviously had plenty of groupies. Based on how good he was at sex, he obviously had a lot of experience. And he was so melodramatic about how terrible his past relationships had been. (He’d written an entire album about one of them, after all.) “Just to let you know,” he’d informed her, apropos of nothing, after they’d been seeing each other for two weeks, “I’m not really looking to fall in love or whatever.

My music really is my life, and I’m on the road half the year. I just don’t have much left over to give anyone.”

“Good,” she’d said. “I’m not either.”

She really wasn’t. Midnight Jesus was practicing a lot, and she had a job by then and was talking with Casey all the time.

If she was going to be in love with anyone, she assumed it would be with him. Not with some pretentious singer-songwriter who was constantly taking his emotional temperature in his journal in case he could get a song out of it and who met with his therapist, Henry, every two weeks via Skype.

(Even though he was actually pretty nice otherwise and was giving her guitar lessons for free.)

But by the middle of July, when he was getting ready to go to New York for three weeks, they were still together nearly every day, and Bob and Asher were starting to look at her funny when she was out with them, wondering what she was doing still around. She insisted to her own friends that she and Caspian weren’t a couple and that she didn’t want anyone gossiping about them, even though she was practically living at his house. “We’re just really good friends. Anyway, he’s way too old for me.”

“Do you want to come with me to New York?” he asked her one sunny morning. He’d been out for a walk already and had brought her an iced coffee and a chocolate donut, which he set on the bedside table before sitting next to her on the bed and gently nudging her awake. He clutched his banjo in his left hand and spun it around on the floor while he spoke. “I’d pay for your plane ticket if you needed me to.”

“Seriously?” she asked.

“I mean it. I’ll be in meetings and rehearsals a lot of the time, but we’d still have time to hang out. You could see your friends during the day or go to the museums or whatever.” He touched her face.

“I’d have to find someone to cover my shifts, but a lot of people want more hours, so I probably could.”

“Yeah, ask them. It will be great.”

“You don’t care what people will think?”

“Screw them. We don’t have to tell them anything.”

She sat up in bed. “I would absolutely love to go to New York.”

“Excellent,” he said. “Then it’s set.”
