Singing and Voting Quick! Wednesday night, May 7, from 7–8:30 p.m. in the ACC library auditorium at 2025 Baxter St., you can hear six or seven of the 16 candidates running for state school superintendent. The parent-teacher-student organizations at Clarke Central and Cedar Shoals have set up this forum so that we can get a look at candidates for this office which is so critically important to our state educational system. This a rare opportunity that should not be missed. Friends active in local education tell me that Valerie Wilson is the candidate to watch.

Bach or Beethoven The Athens Master Chorale, under the direction of Joe Napoli as always and accompanied by a fine orchestra, celebrated its 25th anniversary in Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall on Friday evening, May 2 with a stunning performance of Haydn, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and others, including six Robert Frost poems set to music by Randall Thompson. The Chorale took no break but sang steadily for an hour and a half in a beautifully selected program that thrilled the listeners and brought them

ďƒŻ facebook feedback ďƒ° to their feet in a heartfelt standing ovation at the end. This was another evening that did Athens proud to have so much talent and dedication among us and such a grand facility to showcase this fabulous performance. Among the many thrills of the evening was the bow taken from the audience by founding member Lane Norton, who has fought back from a devastating brain aneurysm during the past year.

Honey or Vinegar Last week I offered my opinion that the Commission District 3 race shouldn’t be about candidate Melissa Link’s personality.

In truth, that’s what it is about. Everyone agrees that Melissa is energetic, intelligent and committed to what we would call a progressive vision of Athens, and that she is not afraid to fight for that vision and knows how to dig up facts to support it. Many people also feel, however, that Melissa is too prone to get those facts wrong and to go overboard and insult and alienate not only her opponents but also those who want to be her allies. Thus, many people who agree with Melissa’s principles cannot support her because of her personality and tactics.

Supporters of Rachel Watkins in District 3 have the opposite problem, in that Rachel is perceived as knowing the issues and the district and having the charm and tact to get on well with friends and enemies alike but may not be bold enough to confront an anti-progressive mayor who stifles dissent. More than one observer has longed for Melissa’s aggressiveness and Rachel’s personal touch, but we can’t have both, and indeed we could get neither.

This whole debate is the result of the Republican gerrymandering that took our most progressive precincts, Cobbham and Boulevard, out of District 5 and threw them into District 3, a formerly relatively safe African American district. The cynicism that drove that redistricting must only be relieved by the enjoyment the Republicans derive from watching the progressives fighting to see who gets to face off against the African American candidate.

If Tim Denson should be elected mayor, he will need help from like-minded commissioners. If Nancy Denson is re-elected, Athens-Clarke County itself will need help from like-minded commissioners. It is crucial that Rachel or Melissa be elected in District 3 and Jared Bailey in District 5, of course. Athens cannot afford four more years of a do-nothing commission stifled by a developer-controlled mayor.

our inmates, and some were still sleeping on mats on the floor.

Much of the building is leaky and moldy and a lawsuit waiting to happen. It was the commission’s No. 1 priority for SPLOST 2011 and the first thing the SPLOST committee put on the project list. The voters overwhelmingly approved it.

Tim noted that 50 percent of the people in jail are nonviolent drug offenders, and that’s probably correct. That’s why ACC also built a diversion center so that nonviolent offenders can continue to work while they serve out their sentences. That’s why we have a DUI court and a drug court—so that first-time offenders can get help rather than simply being locked up.

Even with those reforms, we still needed a bigger jail. Sorry.

Moorman owns half of downtown and half of Normaltown. The Wilfongs own the other half of Normaltown. Boswell represents the Armstrong & Dobbs property, which he sold to Selig and then to Landmark Properties for a student housing development; Denson appointed him to a Prince Avenue study committee, and he’s also our representative on the state Department of Transportation board. Blackmon serves with Denson on the Athens Downtown Development Authority. His partner, Dwyer, is overseeing the major mixed-use project on the SunTrust property downtown.

Then there are power brokers like Michael Adams (yes, that Michael Adams), retired Athens Regional Medical Center CEO Jack Drew, St. Mary’s CFO Grant Tribble and Blake Bailey, CFO of Zaxby’s.

Tim Denson had raised a total of $6,907 as of March 31.

He received $300 from Michael and Mary Songster, $250 from Anthony DeMarco, $200 from Bertis Downs, $350 from Carter Adams, $250 from Daniel Bathon, $254.50 from Hi-Lo Lounge and $150 from John Wolfe, the former ACC auditor whose office is still vacant after he was scandalously booted by the mayor and commission last year for not being sufficiently critical of the ADDA when Nancy wanted to fire the director.

Tim’s Coattails: He may not win citywide, but swaths of districts 3 and 5 are covered in Tim for Athens yard signs, and other candidates are taking advantage of his popularity.

District 5 Commissioner Jared Bailey and District 3 candidates Melissa Link, Rachel Watkins and Dustin Kirby have all campaigned with Tim. The mayoral candidate was diplomatic when asked about it. “We definitely have a strong presence, and we have a lot of good candidates running in three,� he said.

Correction: Having covered both District 5 candidate Dave Hudgins and Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens for almost a decade, this day was inevitable—I spelled Dave’s name wrong in last week’s column. Sorry, Mr. Hudgins! In addition, Commissioner Jared Bailey’s house is on Marsha Court.

probation pay an estimated $125 million annually in fines and surcharges, according to a state audit.

HB 837, introduced by Rep. Mark Hamilton (R-Cumming), was an attempt to work around a court ruling against the procedures of some private probation firms. The bill also would have provided extra benefits for probation companies by allowing them to keep secret information about the number of people they supervise and the amount of money they collect in fees.

That was too much for Deal, who was also influenced by the recent release of a state audit that criticized the operations of private probation firms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the bill that concerns me is the clause that was added in sort of late in the session about the secrecy of the records, of not making those available for inspection,â&#x20AC;? Deal said shortly before vetoing HB 837.

On the same day that he vetoed the probation bill, Deal also signed HB 697, which provides extra tuition assistance for technical college students who maintain a high grade point average. The bill corrects a mistake that was made in 2011 when the legislature voted to reduce HOPE scholarship benefits, which included the HOPE Grants given to technical college students.

After those cutbacks took effect, the enrollment at technical colleges plummeted because thousands of students were unable to pay the tuition costs.

HB 697 restores some HOPE benefits and, it is hoped, will bring students back to the technical colleges. This was a bipartisan measure sponsored by Rep. Stacey Evans (D-Smyrna) and passed overwhelmingly with the votes of Republicans and Democrats alike.

These were small victories for the people of Georgia, but they were still victories. They deserve to be noted.

riends, family and faculty filed into the University of Georgia Chapel Tuesday, Apr. 29 to honor and remember students, faculty and staff who were lost during the year.

“Each of us is here tonight for a different reason, for very personal and very painful reasons,” UGA President Jere Morehead said at the ceremony’s opening. “We come to mourn a lost friend, colleague, a brother, a sister, a father, a mother, a grandparent or a child.

We come with hopes of comfort and offers of solace. We come here because of relationships that were made and because of relationships that have been lost.”

The candlelight memorial remembered the 13 students and 13 faculty and staff members who passed away during the 2013–14 school year. They include: Doug Bachtel, professor emeritus in College of Housing and Consumer Sciences’ Department of Financial Planning.

“We all hurt and we grieve for the names that will be read this evening, but we also celebrate the memories that they have left behind,” Morehead said. “Our institutional grief tonight is a statement of community and a celebration of those who now have passed, but helped make this institution the important place that it is for all of us.”

Drew Jacoby, president of the Student Government Association, Silvia Giraudo, chair of the Executive Committee of the University Council, and Jerry Daniel, president of the Staff Council, read the names of the deceased.

After each name was read, a candle was lit and the Chapel bell rang once. The ceremony closed with the university’s Southern Wind Quartet performing “Going Home.”

After exiting the Chapel, all attendees lit a candle in memory of their children, friends, colleagues and family members. Groups gathered to comfort one another and talk about those who had passed.

Overturning Georgia’s Same-Sex Marriage Ban

M

ary Pat Provost and Jennifer Oliver-Provost had to file five tax returns this year.

“When I filled my paperwork out, the human resource lady had no idea how to fill it out. She had to call somebody,” Oliver-Provost says. “She thought I did it wrong.

It’s ridiculous.”

The confusion never came from complicated tax forms or misinformation. It all came down to being required to file under two marital statuses—single on a state level and married on a federal level.

Mary Pat and Jennifer were legally married in New York a year and a half ago, but when they moved to Georgia, their marriage was no longer recognized.

With the class-action lawsuit filed last month by the gay-rights nonprofit Lambda Legal, the couple is hoping they can put excess paperwork behind them. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a widow and three same-sex couples and challenges Georgia’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriages and civil unions, passed by the state legislature and overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2004.

DeeDee Kane, GLOBES chairwoman and director of MBA admissions for the Terry College of Business, had to consider that the University System of Georgia does not provide same-sex partner benefits when considering her move from Massachusetts. “There are problems that the state of Georgia and the University System haven’t solved that other places have solved, so it is possible,” Kane says. “So it was strange for me to move from one state to another, and yet I lost some rights of citizenship, when I’m the same person.”

serving people. I guess I feel almost kind of a resentment.”

The lawsuit, however, may be the push companies need to offer same-sex partner benefits—either through force or by making it more economically viable. “The thing is that there are so many places where, like at my job, it hasn’t really been brought up yet, or they’re smaller and maybe it would be more financially difficult to start covering more people,” Provost says. “Or maybe they’re just, you know, we live in a really conservative state, so if there are employers with really conservative beliefs, there are a lot of places that won’t offer those kinds of benefits that could really help families out —unless they’re forced to.”

Benefits of Marriage

For the University System of Georgia, the legal change could ease a process which many already favor. “Frankly, I think it would be a relief. I think the University System of Georgia would like to be able to offer these benefits, and I think they feel somewhat like their hands are tied by state law,” Frick says.

If the court rules favorably on this lawsuit, Frick says she does not believe changes would be slowmoving in Georgia. although there will be people speaking The lawsuit puts Georgia out against lifting the ban. alongside more than 40 states “I think that politicians are where similar lawsuits have caught in a little bit of a been filed.

In matters of both parents adopting a child or one parent adopting the other’s biological child, same-sex couples oftentimes have to work the system in Georgia. “Historically in Georgia some judges will allow it and some won’t, so we’ve already been told that we need to know the schedule,” OliverProvost says.

The process of adoption would likely involve a specialized lawyer, tedious timing of the application and more paperwork.

“I think the decision to have a child, whether biologically or through adoption, is terrifying enough,” Provost says.

“Especially, adoption is such a difficult road to go down financially and emotionally and everything that to go down it and know that you might be rejected because your marriage is deemed different than your next-door neighbor’s, it just adds so much stress to a process that is already so stressful to begin with.”

With their move to Georgia, Provost and Oliver-Provost worked with Georgia Equality, an LGBT resource center, to ensure the paperwork established hospital visitation rights, financial power of attorney and their last will and testament.

Without this paperwork—unnecessary for heterosexual married couples—it would be possible to prevent Provost and OliverProvost from exercising the same rights a heterosexual couple would have in an instance of emergency, such as Intensive Care Unit visitations. “You would want to think that wouldn’t be the case,” Oliver-Provost says, “but we’ve heard stories.”

Growing Acceptance Nationwide, a trend toward acceptance of same-sex couples and marriages has grown along with the number of people comfortable with coming out. Frick says the pattern of acceptance and more people being open about their sexuality is a cyclical movement which influences political opinion. “So even among people who have more conservative political views or religious views… if they have a personal friend or family member who is in a same-sex relationship, they are much more likely to support marriage equality.”

Bill Henry and his husband Randy Gordon think the growth in support for LGBT couples shows the ban on same-sex marriage is out of touch. “The people that got out and voted for the constitutional amendment in Georgia, I don’t think that could pass now,” says Henry, a Lawrenceville resident and member of Our Hope Metropolitan Community Church in Athens. “I think that things have changed. It might be very narrow of a margin, but I don’t think that could happen now.”

Henry says opponents of marriage equality are simply the “vocal minority,” but many take hurtful paths to express their opinion. The day Lambda Legal’s lawsuit was filed, Henry saw and received negative comments on a WSB-TV video reporting on it.

As a member of Our Hope MCC, a historically welcoming and LGBT-supportive church, Henry finds it difficult to consolidate the opposing views of religion. “It’s kind of hard to be in a situation where you look upon your religion as God is love, God is accepting of everyone,” he says, “and then other people take that same religion and try to twist it around and be so negative with it and try to be so hateful.”

Gordon echoes this sentiment. “Religion makes a wonderful weapon when people twist it to fit whatever agenda they’ve got,” Gordon says.

While Our Hope MCC performs marriage and commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples, its pastor, the Rev. Renee DuBose, says it is important to distinguish between religious ceremonies and what is recognized by the state. From Our Hope’s perspective, nothing will change in its marriage or commitment ceremonies. “That’s the conversation that people are having, is what you do in a religious ceremony doesn’t make you legally married. That’s just what you do as a part of your spirituality,” DuBose says. “So the lawsuits, either here or in any place, basically say that separation of church and state requires that every citizen should have equal access to marriage. So the lawsuit is not on religious grounds, but on civil marriage and equal rights grounds.”

Henry believes people need to realize that supporting marriage equality does not require a change in religion or even acceptance on an individual level.

“People don’t seem to understand very often that this isn’t about forcing someone’s religion to accept marriage equality.

This is about allowing people who are married or want to get married to be able to have the same rights and privileges as an opposite-sex couple,” Henry says. “For me personally, love is love, and you very much cannot help who you love. And it shouldn’t be any different. And our relationship doesn’t affect anyone else.”

movie dope drew’s review THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (PG-13) Despite abundant reasons

 for applause, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 sabotages itself with the most

dreadfully deadening second act ever unleashed in a major superhero movie.

Andrew Garfield returns as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and has much more control of the role in his second appearance. He channels the comic’s wisecracking webslinger, especially in the smart, campy opening fight with a very Russian criminal inexplicably played by Paul Giamatti. In his second attempt, director Marc Webb supplies the franchise’s best action set pieces; both of Spidey’s fights with Jamie Foxx’s blue-headed Electro are kinetically exciting, if a bit too computer-animated. But the fightless sequence after Spider-Man first defeats Electro, during which Peter reunites with old pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and searches for the answer to his OsCorp scientist father’s (Campbell Scott) disappearance, absolutely kills the movie’s silly momentum, despite Martin Csokas’ mad German Dr. Kafka. Bookending the boring are two great acts. The first could be the most charmingly innocent cinematic superhero action since Superman ’78, even if it is more Lester than Donner; the action-packed finale jams three supervillains into what can’t be more than 20 minutes. Make sure you wake up for it.

also playing THE ARCHITECTURE OF DOOM 1989. As part of the film series “Crimes Against Culture: Art and the Nazis,” the Georgia Museum of Art presents a screening of Peter Cohen’s internationally award-winning documentary, The Architecture of Doom. Consider the film to be the other side of Monuments Men, as it chronicles Hitler’s obsession with the capture of classical art from across Europe. Also portrayed are Hitler’s exhibitions of the degenerate art of the Cubists and Dadaists as well as his own attempts at amateur architecture. (Georgia Museum of Art) BEARS (G) For Earth Day 2014, Disneynature released another nature documentary from two-time Emmy winner Alastair Fothergill (Chimpanzee, African Cats and Earth), again working with his African Cats co-director Keith Scholey. This year, Fothergill and Scholey follow a family of Alaskan bears. John C. Reilly narrates the lessons being taught to the family’s two young cubs. Disneynature’s Earth Day track record is pretty strong, and the trailer for this family-friendly movie promises another appealing, heartwarming tale.

BRICK MANSIONS (PG-13) This remake of District B13 will always be Paul Walker’s iconic movie. It’s also a rather silly, thoroughly entertaining action flick featuring (not nearly enough) Parkour. David Belle, one of the eight founders of Parkour, reprises his role as the ex-con, here called Lino, who runs, jumps and kicks his way through a walled-off ghetto to rescue his girlfriend and help an undercover cop recover a neutron bomb. Walker provides a solid presence à la the Fast and Furious franchise; the action world is going to miss him. Brick Mansions, like its predecessor, is Belle’s movie, and he’s a blast to watch. First-time feature director Camille Delamarre (an editor who fell from Luc Besson’s rather fruitful filmmaking tree) captures the Parkour-dominated action with kinetic stylishness. But it’s the verging-oncamp script by Besson and Bibi Naceri that provides the movie with its distinctive voice. A character named Tom Berringer is in a movie where RZA’s gangster quotes Wu-Tang (C.R.E.A.M.) and ends (almost) on a freeze frame?

It’s as if Brick Mansions were made for

10

future Bad Movie Nights, except that it’s not a completely inept piece of movie garbage. Movies like this remind audiences why Besson is an international action hero.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (PG-13) Cap (Chris Evans) returns in his second solo outing, and it’s a slight improvement over the first, a definitively middle-of-the-pack Marvel movie. As an agent of SHIELD, Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, must adjust to his new reality and save the world, regularly. When seeds of distrust are sewn amongst members of SHIELD, Cap has to figure out if he can trust anyone, including Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) or new pal Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Cap’s transition to the modern world gets even more complicated once a new enemy, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), turns out to be an old acquaintance.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier redefines the Marvel Universe more than any of the previous features. Its effects will be felt from Avengers: Age of Ultron to ABC’s “Agents of Shield.”

Credit new directors Anthony and Joe Russo (“Community”) with a lighter, more action-oriented Cap, but this series will always lack the vivacious spark Robert Downey Jr. brings to Iron Man. CHEF (R) With Shane Black taking over last year’s Iron Man 3, Jon Favreau hasn’t helmed a feature since 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens. He also stars in his latest, a comedy about a chef, Carl Casper, who loses his restaurant job and starts a food truck.

Plus, he’s got to reunite his separated family. Favreau wrote and directed this feature that also stars Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr. DIVERGENT (PG-13) Hunger Games comparisons are inevitable.

While Veronica Roth’s book loses the head-to-head against Suzanne Collins’ bestseller, Neil Burger’s filmed adaptation might best Gary Ross’ original Games. In a dystopian future Chicago, humanity is divided into five factions. Right before Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) is to choose the faction in which she’ll spend the rest of her life, the teenager learns she is Divergent, whatever that means. Tris, as she chooses to be called, selects

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ MAY 7, 2014

Dauntless, the faction most appealing to teens as they spend most of their time yelling and jumping from trains.

Oh yeah, they’re civilization’s soldiers too. After a grueling initiation during which she makes a love connection with the studly instructor, Four (Theo James), Tris learns her perfect society and all Divergents are under attack. The movie distills 500 pages of plot into a pretty decent two-plus-hour flick, as scripters Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor smartly eschew Tris’ inner monologues, save for her opening and closing thoughts.

DRAFT DAY (PG-13) Are you missing football? Kevin Costner has just the movie for you. KCost stars as Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager of the NFL’s downtrodden Cleveland Browns. On the morning of draft day, he receives the chance to select first, an opportunity that brings with it a season’s worth of controversy and drama.

Should he draft the surefire quarterback (Josh Pence) from Wisconsin, the swell linebacker (Chadwick Boseman) from Ohio State or the Florida State running back (Houston Texans player Arian Foster) who recently had a run-in

control over her icy powers. Anna is assisted in her search by ice salesman Kristoff (v. Jonathan Groff, “Glee”), his reindeer, Sven, and a goofy, talking snowman named Olaf (v. Josh Gad). The narrative, adapted from Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen” by Wreck-It Ralph scripter Jennifer Lee (who co-directed), is as Disney formulaic as they come, and the animation shines without standing out.

Nonetheless, the characters, especially Gad’s silly snowman, are winning. The songs are catchy, as is their diegetic musical inclusion. Little kids will love Frozen, and parents who grew up on Disney classics will not feel left out in the cold.

GOD’S NOT DEAD (PG) In this Christian feature, a college student, Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper), has his faith challenged by a philosophy professor (Kevin Sorbo, best known as TV’s Hercules) who does not believe in the existence of God. TV’s Superman, Dean Cain, costars, while Christian popsters Newsboys and two of “Duck Dynasty”’s Robertsons, Willie and Korie, provide cameos. Director Harold Cronk’s three previous features (Ever

To top it all off, the pretty young coworker (Jennifer Garner) he’s dating is pregnant. In a movie where most of the interactions take place via phone, Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman is forced to get creative and winds up with his most enjoyable movie since, very arguably, 2001’s Evolution. The actors interact more like they’re on stage than on screen, and the football acumen of a few is questionable. Nevertheless, it’s hard to lose with Costner on your sports movie team.

FADING GIGOLO (R) John Turturro wrote, directed and stars in this comedy about a guy, Fiorovante, who decides to become a professional Don Juan (is that the same thing as a professional Casanova?). Fiorovante hopes to help out his buddy, Murray (Woody Allen), who is in need of some cash. The cast is good (Liev Schreiber, Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara), but Allen’s pretty toxic right now. Winner of the Audience Award for Best Feature at the Miami Film Festival.

FROZEN (PG) Disney returns with a newfangled computer-animated feature that feels very old school. A young princess, Anna (v. Kristen Bell), must venture into the frozen wilds to save her sister, recently crowned Queen Elsa (v. Idina Menzel), who has lost

GOD’S POCKET (R) “Mad Men”’s John Slattery makes his directorial debut with one of Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s last films. Set in the working class neighborhood of God’s Pocket, Mickey (Hoffman) attempts to please his wife (the hourglassfigured Christina Hendricks, also of “Mad Men”) by figuring out what happened to his stepson, Leon (Caleb Landry Jones), who was killed at a construction site. The rest of the cast, which includes Richard Jenkins, John Turturro and Eddie Marsan, is equally excellent.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R) Wes Anderson’s latest stars Ralph Fiennes as Gustave H., legendary concierge at the famous hotel, who memorably mentors lobby boy, Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori, The Perfect Game). The cast is huge—F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalic, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Owen Wilson. (Ciné) A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 (R) A Haunted House 2 is a lot more things than its predecessor. It’s a lot more misogynistic, racist and sexualized; too bad it’s also less funny. Hard to believe, I know.

Marlon Wayans and his pals resort to some of their laziest parodies yet as Malcolm continues to be terrorized by evil spirits in the new home he shares with his girlfriend (Jaime Pressly) and her two kids (why, Ashley Rickards of MTV’s “Awkward,” why?). Have you seen the superior horror films The Conjuring and Sinister? Did you think all they were missing were doll sex gags and what barely passes for off-color humor? Wayans even has the audacity to imply that the Scary Movies only suck now that his family isn’t involved. Not quite a newsflash: The Scary Movie franchise was the poorest parody series even before it spawned the demonically unfunny duo of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Writers for both franchises merely recreate scenes from better films; their sole addition is some uncreative gag. Where, oh where have ZAZ gems like Airplane! and The Naked Gun gone? Expect the addition of a third story as the box office is sure to surpass the budget.

HEAVEN IS FOR REAL (PG) Good for you, Hollywood. You’re as capable of pandering to faith-based audiences as to any other. Money’s money, am I right? Based on the bestselling account written by Reverend Todd Burpo about his four-year-old son’s trip to heaven, the movie feels as real as any paranormal movie purported to be based on a true story. Todd (Greg Kinnear) works several jobs to keep his family afloat but almost loses everything, including his faith, after news of his son’s experience gets out. Sweet little Colton (cute Connor Corum) tells his dad about singing angels, Jesus and his technicolor horse and the sister that was never born. The movie gets by as far and as long as it can on its talented cast, including Kinnear, Kelly Reilly (Flight), Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale; the acting is far above any of Sherwood Pictures’ releases. Writer-director Randall Wallace (an Oscar nominee for Braveheart) can’t help the treacly material, almost entirely dependent upon a very young child actor, with which he’s saddled.

MOMS’ NIGHT OUT (PG) Allyson (Sarah Drew, “Grey’s Anatomy”) and her girlfriends (including Patricia Heaton from “Everybody Loves Raymond”) want a night out without the kids. Can their husbands (including Sean Astin) handle the kids for one measly evening? According to the trailer for this family friendly, kind of

faith-based movie, the men cannot.

Country star Trace Adkins shows up as a bike-riding tattoo artist. Birmingham, AL, natives Jon and Andrew Erwin direct their highest profile picture yet. l NEIGHBORS (R) Seth Rogen battles Zac Efron in this hard R comedy from the director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Rogen and Rose Byrne star as a married couple with a new child.

When Efron and his frat brahs move in next door, a war begins. The trailers certainly promise crazy, funny antics.

Still, Efron’s last R-rated comedy, That Awkward Moment, remains one of 2014’s worst movies. With Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Lisa Kudrow and Jake Johnson (very funny on “New Girl”).

NOAH (PG-13) Noah may be the strangest blockbuster since Ang Lee’s Hulk. Fortunately, the new biblical epic is more successful. It also isn’t your Chuck Heston biblical epic. Russell Crowe (no actor is more comfortable in the past than this guy) effectively grimaces and growls as the man chosen by the Creator to save the animal kingdom from a world-cleansing flood in Darren Aronofsky’s foreboding take on this beloved children’s bible story.

Opening with a summary emphasizing the mythic, Noah establishes a harsh, sci-fi pre-apocalypse for Noah and his family—wife Naameh (Jennifer Connelly) and sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. After a visit with his ancient grandfather, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins giving good Yoda), Noah begins a decade-long task of building his ark, while giant stone creatures (one recognizably voiced by Nick Nolte) protect his family from the evil men led by Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone).

When the flood epically arrives amidst a massive Lord of the Rings battle, an hour remains to reveal what happens when a family cruise goes too long. .

OCULUS (R) Filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s follow-up to his effective little horror film, Absentia, feels like the next step in his career maturation.

Bigger genre names (“Doctor Who” companion Karen Gillan and Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff), more ambition and more chills all handled with more skill. When her brother, Thomas (Brenton Thwaites), is released from a mental hospital, Kaylie Russell (Gillan) plans to prove that what destroyed her family was neither her father, Alan (Rory Cochrane, Argo), nor her brother but a supernatural force living in an antique mirror. Mix John Carpenter’s underrated Prince of Darkness and The Amityville Horror with a touch of Jack Ketchum’s splatterpunk and some mouth-horror that would impress body-horror impresario David Cronenberg. The result is this unsettlingly satisfying horror flick.

Oculus stands apart from its recent paranormal peers thanks to a smarterthan-average script by Flanagan and Jeff Howard, working from Flanagan and Jeff Seidman’s shorter screenplay.

Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis. Maybe Jane really is possessed by a demonic spirit.

The movie, directed by John Pogue (his flawed Quarantine sequel could have been much worse), turns into an Exorcist with science rather than religion attempting the cleansing. Pogue rather skillfully blends found 16mm footage and traditional filmmaking.

Still, the movie doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capture any Blair Witch tension in what should be its found footage highlight, the pre-climactic attic sequence. The cast, especially Harris and Cooke, being quite convincing, increase the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness, and Pogue shoots everything in the old country house with a horrifying pall. The Quiet Ones mixes newfangled horror gimmicks with a more old-fashioned aesthetic.

RIO 2 (G) Blu (v. Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (v. Anne Hathaway) and the three kids leave the wilds of Rio de Janeiro for the real wilds of the Amazon, where Blu must battle his father-in-law (v.

Andy Garcia). I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall caring that much for the first trip to Rio, though it could have been worse. The voices of Will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro and Jake T. Austin return, while Garcia and Bruno Mars headline the newcomers.

SON OF GOD (PG-13) At least The Passion of the Christ was a feature film and Mel Gibson a decorated (if now crazed) filmmaker. Son of God is cobbled together from the Jesus sequences (plus more!) from the History Channel miniseries, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bible,â&#x20AC;? and its slightly ethnic unknown actors do not benefit from the big screen treatment. The only debatably recognizable face is that of producer Roma Downey (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Touched by an Angelâ&#x20AC;?), who plays Mary, Mother of Jesus. Portuguese-born Diogo Morgado is a photogenic Savior with a nice smile; he recedes into Christly caricature during the climactic imprisonment and crucifixion. An obvious

cash grab by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorâ&#x20AC;? producer Mark Burnett (Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband), Son of God merely takes advantage of an audience hungry for faith-based films (see the success of the releases from Albanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sherwood Pictures) by repackaging previously seen material with a few new scenes, none of them worth the price of admission.

TRANSCENDENCE (PG-13) A mature science fiction film about the dangers of technology from Dark Knight filmmaker Christopher Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal cinematographer with a cast that includes Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surefire blockbuster.

Depp stars as Dr. Will Caster, an expert in artificial intelligence, whose mind is uploaded into cyberspace after his death at the hands of anti-technology terrorists. Unfettered by the shackles of humanity, Caster is able to solve pretty much all of mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems in a couple of days/weeks/months/years; Transcendence has the same problems with time that plagued The Dark Knight Rises. In his directorial debut, Wally Pfister has shot a film every bit as beautiful as those he shot for Nolan.

However, his film is hampered by a terminally slow first act that builds into a tremendously intriguing second act before climaxing in rather generically.

UNDER THE SKIN (R) An intriguing guerrilla, science fiction feature from filmmaker Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast and Birth), Under the Skin stars Scarlett Johansson as an alien preying on Scottish hitchhikers. Allegedly, ScarJo actually picked up and filmed several real hitchers with hidden cameras. First-time screenwriter Walter Campbell adapted the novel by Michel Faber, best known for The Crimson Petal and the White. Nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and for the Best Film at the London Film Festival. (CinĂŠ)

Oculus builds its terror on tension, atmosphere and small, effective doses of gore rather than the buckets of blood and/or jump scares preferred to prop up underwritten scary stories. Flanagan could do big things in this genre.

THE OTHER WOMAN (PG-13) It takes way too long for Kate Upton to pop up in this intermittently funny and shrill female buddy comedy.

Powerful professional woman, Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz), finds out her wonderful new boyfriend, Mark (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thronesâ&#x20AC;?), is married. Carly and the wronged wife, Kate (Leslie Mann), team up for revenge with Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other other woman, Amber (Upton). Diaz and Mann are showcased, and the results are mixed. As many laughs as Mann generates, she spends equally as much time crying and whining. Diaz continues to age gracefully, though one of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best gags might be the comedienneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to being upstaged

by Upton, whose initial bikini-clad appearance doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur until an hour into the movie. The Other Woman is neither a total disaster nor a riotous female comedy. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not achieving Bridesmaids heights here. The comedy does begin to answer the question, how much is too much Leslie Mann?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad and a little disappointed by The Other Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response.

THE QUIET ONES (PG-13) The return of Hammer Films continues on a positive trajectory with this nicely restrained chiller. In glorious 1974 fashion, an Oxford professor, Joseph Coupland (the severely underappreciated Jared Harris), and his band of pretty little Brits (The Hunger Gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sam Claflin, Erin Richards and Rory Fleck-Byrne) attempt an unorthodox cure of troubled young Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bates Motelâ&#x20AC;?). After the requisite spooky paranormal phenomena, things get dangerous, and the young assistants begin to doubt

Previously on behind the scene Catching Up on flagpole’s New Web Series DT Productions’ Cartter Fontaine films Scott Baxendale for an episode of Behind the Scene.

At

Flagpole, we love covering musicians, but there’s another story to be told about our town’s scene: that of the people who work offstage to make Athens music matter. Our recently launched web series, Behind the Scene—a multimedia partnership with local video company Dirtty Toe Productions—aims to further that dialog.

From talent buyers to instrument makers, publicists to guitar technicians and beyond, our goal is to provide an account of those members of the Athens music community who work often thankless but nonetheless essential jobs.

We’re back online this week with a feature on Chase Park Transduction engineer Drew Vandenberg (read an excerpt below). Looking ahead, we’ve got a two-for-one profile of Colm O’Reilly and Roger Levine from the Georgia Theatre sound crew on tap, with some special guest appearances we think you’ll enjoy.

Going forward, we want to make sure Behind the Scene is as informative and entertaining as it can be. As such, reader comments are encouraged. Let us in on any ideas you have by emailing music@flagpole.com. Below, check out samples from some of our interviews thus far. For video, audio and more extras, visit the Homedrone blog at flagpole.com.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ MAY 7, 2014

repair and said, “Whatever you do, do NOT clean this guitar.” He did not even want us to clean one piece of dirt off of that guitar.

Usually, the guys want you to clean their guitar.

I met Dave Alvin of The Blasters in Denver back in the ‘80s. He came in and he had this iconic Jimmy Reed model Kay electric guitar that was [used] on the opening riffs on “Dark Night.” And here he walks in with that guitar.

The guitar is crumbling apart, it’s delaminating, the neck’s falling off and the strings are like two inches off of the neck, and we said, “What do you want us to do with the guitar?”

He said, “You can throw it in the fucking trash for all I care! You can do whatever you want!” So, we glued it all up for him, this amazing super-glue repair job, so that it was ready to go that night. And for the whole entire tour after that, every show from the tour, he would announce our shop as the only place in the world to get your guitar fixed.

But that’s kind of the point, in a way. If I wanted to be the big man on the record, then I would have written the songs—it would be my record. You’re behind the curtain for a reason, and I think you sort of realize—well, you should realize that going in. If you don’t realize that, you’re in for a rude awakening.

Paul McHugh

Guitar technician, Drive-By Truckers FP: Are there ever moments where something has gone completely wrong?

PM: Yeah. You never know. Sometimes a pedal will come unplugged, or a mic will fall over, or a guitar will fall over and snap its neck in two or something [laughs]… There are about 8,000 things that could go wrong.

Sometimes stuff gets broken. There have been plenty of times that I’ve had to go out there and fix something super quick. But, usually— and, hopefully—not.

Drew Vandenberg Troy Aubrey Engineer, Chase Park Transduction

FP: Do you think the average listener is aware of what you do?

DV: I don’t think so. It never even occurred to me until I was looking at liner notes as a kid that this was a job. I didn’t know how music was recorded. With people now, and the way electronic music is made, sometimes it doesn’t even involve people like me—the artist is his own engineer or producer. I don’t think people think about it, except for maybe huge-name producers.

President of Foundry Entertainment, talent buyer at the Melting Point FP: What makes a show a success?

TA: You could look at the financial side: If the band is making money and the venue is making money to cover their labor costs—a lot of people don’t understand how expensive it is to run a venue. A lot of people think, “Oh, you just have to pay the door and the sound, right?” There’s insurance, there’s BMI/ ASCAP; you’ve got to pay your rights fees. If

you’re covering your expenses and the band is making money, that is a success.

I do put some of my personal taste into what I do. But what I’ve found out is that you can’t really be buying for yourself. What I’ve tried to do here is figure out who our crowd is and develop it. On an esoteric level, if you have a band that is really connecting with the audience, that’s success. I love going to shows where, even if there are maybe 10 or 15 people there, they’re zoned in and captivated by the band.

Kayla Schmandt

Head retail coordinator for new release promotion at Colortest FP: What advice would you give someone looking to work in music publicity?

KS: The best advice I could give would be to put yourself out there… Go to shows. Talk to people. Read Flagpole. Write letters. Write album reviews. Talk to everyone you can about music, and you will wind up meeting the people that will help your career. I got one of my first jobs when I ran into a friend of a friend at South by Southwest, and we sat down and started talking about music. Two months later, he called and said, “We need an assistant.

What are you doing?”

If you want to work in the music industry, you can’t give in to any other option. It’s an easy industry to get started in. It’s pretty hard to get your first job, and you have to resist the urge to get a high-paying job that doesn’t have anything to do with what you love. Go for it. You’ve got to be really committed.

New reviews of local albums are posted regularly at flagpole.com. Here are three releases to check out this month.

Chartreuse: Gloriosa Venenum Serpentis

JRS Tapes HHHHH Picture a large room: a high, vaulted ceiling and bare stone floors, like a church with all the pews ripped out. At the far end of the room is an amplifier. A guitar leans against it. The amp emits a faint hum that combines with the other sound in the room, a slow, swirling melody, ghostly voices reverberating throughout the hall.

The hum of the amp grows louder; the choir fades.

A lone figure steps into the hall and picks up the guitar. Massive chords fill the empty space, a dense distortion heavy with static. A ponderous melody emerges, a dark echo of the voices’ song. So it goes on the first half of Chartreuse’s twopart Gloriosa Venenum Serpentis.

The record has a mysterious, awestruck feel, fitting for an act whose name derives from a medieval order of monks.

The tape’s second half begins with that same distorted guitar playing single low notes, drawn out, bleeding into feedback. Four minutes in, the mood lightens. A clean guitar plays a repeated figure, a trail of delay following each note. As on latter-era Talk Talk records, you can hear the empty space. More guitars join in as the figure keeps circling. Then, in the last few minutes, a new sound, resonant and repeating, like the peeling of strange bells. [Marshall Yarbrough]

Scab Queen/Snowbride: Split

Persistentmidnight HHHHH Out via boutique label Persistentmidnight, the new split cassette release from experimental Atlanta-based synth outfit Snowbride and Athens noisemakers Scab Queen is the latest bit of proof, if we needed it, that our two cities can creatively coexist in a fruitful and meaningful way.

The A-side of the split belongs to Snowbride, a group featuring longtime sound explorer Drew Haddon and vocalist Rachel McIntosh. Each of the duo’s three tracks offers a different vibe,

WesdaRuler: b A d

Independent Release HHHHH Seemingly beamed directly from the chill-out rooms that accompanied every ‘90s warehouse rave worth its salt, b A d is an appetizer-sized collection of downtempo beatscapes, each one composed over the course of a day for a week. It comes from Athens-based producer Wesley Johnson, a.k.a. WesdaRuler, who’s been killing the local beat tape game for a minute now. (On SoundCloud, be sure to check out the heady “Be There,” a massive tune that deftly samples Jade’s 1993 Billboard-topping jam, “Don’t Walk Away”). b A d deftly covers a lot of ground over its 17 minutes, from chiptune and dark ambient to hip hop. Take “Acid Bounce,” which absolutely knocks with its dreamy synths, off-kilter drum pads and a well-syncopated sample of a “Super Mario” jump. Another highlight is album closer “Sun Set,” which samples the Dreamcast video-game masterpiece “Shenmue” and rollicks by like a feudal-Japan set piece in a RZA-scored kung-fu flick.

As they mostly hover around the two-minute mark, there’s not much space for these songs to develop beyond proof of concept (and talent). Still, these neat, minimal-leaning, occasionally trap-inflicted space jams are practically begging a smart-aleck rapper to jump on. Until then, it’s good enough to turn on, tune in and drop out with Wes. [Christopher Joshua Benton]

record reviews

from the persistent, half-realized beatscaping of opener “Trak Trak Trak” to the chilly “Waiting on a Train,” which conjures creepy digital-video stills, to “Interior,” a warm if rather straightforward drone.

Not surprisingly, given the group’s prolificacy and track record, it’s Scab Queen’s four contributions that truly make the tape worth its $5 sticker price. The project has recently expanded to a duo, with cellist Alec Livaditis joining guitarist Michael Lauden, and together the two musicians have kicked things up a notch.

The tunes here are denser than Scab Queen’s prior output, more volatile, scarily focused despite their improvisatory nature. There is a constant, creeping sense of decay, snippets of ambient factory noise and nightmarish field recordings acting as sonic mildew atop Lauden and Livaditis’ measured stringed excursions.

He but for now, let’s just refer to it as an EDM was an activist his entire adult life, and his (electronic dance music) label, a term I’ve passion for freedom and peace-based causes never been totally comfortable with, mainly were a large part of his identity. He was involved with AIDS Athens for several years, as well as other charities, and the Ugandan LGBT rights organization St. Paul’s Voice Center characterized him as one of the “key pillars of [the] organization who has been so influential.” I first met Paul during the sustained anti-war “Peace Camp” on UGA’s north campus in 1991, as the United States was heading into the first Gulf War. Since that time, our interactions were occasional but never less than totally friendly. I remember when he started DJing and when I got a copy of his first mix.

grub notes Trials and Tribulations BROS: The space on Mitchell Bridge Road,

by Cofer’s, that was built as a second branch of Harry Bissett’s has had some trials and tribulations. It’s enormous and almost impossible to break up into spaces where different businesses could share it. The variety of seating options (bar, indoor downstairs, indoor upstairs, outdoor downstairs, outdoor upstairs) is the kind of thing that works in Atlanta—for example, at East Atlanta’s Argosy—where the population is large enough to support it, but the only place Athenians flock to in those kinds of numbers is Olive Garden.

The closest anyone has come so far to making it work is Four Brothers Sports Tavern, which Andrew Miller opened at the end of February. Miller knows the restaurant business, and he presumably knew what he was getting into. The menu is fairly smartly put together, and although there’s never a wait for a table, a Friday night does find enough people dining in to make the place feel like it has a chance to succeed. Arcade games, including an elaborate sit-in racing game, “Big Buck Hunter” and even a claw game (placed right by the restroom, where children are guaranteed to see it and beg their parents for quarters) make family dining easy; kids eat free on Wednesday evenings; and the restaurant has trivia nights and live music regularly.

What makes it actually worth going to is that the food is pretty decent. Skip the

Coastal Sliders (three small shrimp cakes overwhelmed by their breading and hefty buns that would be dramatically improved by a zippier sauce) and the quinoa salad as a side (faintly bitter, suggesting a lack of rinsing prior to cooking, and bland), but if you can afford the calories, get the artichoke dip that is about to find its way onto the menu. Where most restaurants seem to rely on a gross, premade slurry of “cheese” and white sauce for this bar standard, Miller incorporates Swiss chard instead of spinach and makes something bouncing with flavor.

The burgers that make up a sizable section of the menu are equally well executed, although topped with enough stuff that you may want to flip them upside-down to ensure that the bun doesn’t dematerialize by the time you finish. The fish and chips is nicely battered and well cooked, neither pale and soggy nor dark, greasy and overcooked, the two directions in which the dish tends to err. Also, the kitchen uses quality fish, which makes a big difference.

The bacon macaroni and cheese gets one demerit for being creamy rather than baked (personal preference, sorry), but uses cavatappi instead of the insubstantial usual noodle and is well put together. The open-face Del Monaco sandwich features ribeye, caramelized onions, grilled tomatoes and a zingy orange sauce on top of a piece of flatbread that, surprisingly, adds something to the dish. It

Four Brothers Sports Tavern all comes together well, and leftovers are delicious cold straight out of the fridge.

Four Brothers is rather a lot like Hilltop Grille, which took the formula perfected by Atlanta’s Houston’s and has succeeded beautifully with it. The only question is whether it can find its audience or, rather, whether its audience can find it. The restaurant is open for lunch weekdays, dinner every day and brunch on weekends, has a full bar, takes credit cards and has plenty of parking in the back.

HOS: Ever since Bulldawg Wings Deli & Tropical Grocery opened on Baxter Street,

in a ramshackle space with a sign promising a burger called the “Sloppy Ho,” I’ve been intrigued. Who doesn’t love an odd little ethnic grocery or a hole-in-the-wall that potentially promises great eats? Unfortunately, sometimes atmosphere isn’t enough. While the shelves hold much of interest (dried fish, fufu flour, a variety of hair bows, plastic tablecloths, severe-looking pot scrubbers), the menu is pretty much burgers, wings and fried things. Jerk chicken is mentioned but not always available.

There is something homey about sitting at a large wooden table in the front of the store, eating your food out of a Styrofoam container while your fellow customers wait for their orders, two cute children play computer games and “The Test” blares on a large TV. But there is nothing good about the Jamaican patties, clearly frozen to begin and, while burning hot on the outside, still ice cold in the middle.

The fried rice, studded with peas, carrots and egg, is best described as funky, and not in a positive way.

The sweet old granny who runs the register does her best but is not well equipped for customer service, and the place as a whole, while still interesting, is not the sort of hidden treasure that rewards investigation with culinary delights. Bulldawg Wings theoretically accepts credit cards but less so in practice.

A sign on the wall says that if you purchase a whole chicken from them, they will cook it for you. But if you are starving, and home.made catering and Just Pho… and More are not open, you would be best served by wandering into Jimbo’s convenience store and purchasing a small bag of Mutt and Jeff’s Pork Skins, made in East Point, GA, which are, indeed, unexpectedly tasty.

The Architecture of Doom

Georgia Museum of Art ¡ 7 p.m. ¡ FREE! Inspired by Monuments Men and the discovery of a trove containing 1,400 Nazi-looted works in Munich that made headlines last fall, the Georgia Museum of Art presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crimes Against Culture: Art and the Nazis,â&#x20AC;? a film series exploring the moral, aesthetic and legal issues surrounding the Third Reichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on art.

The series kicked off last week with The Rape of Europa, a look into the real-life â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monuments Men,â&#x20AC;? a group of art historians and curators who rescued millions of lost and stolen treasures during World War II. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Architecture of Doom chronicles Adolf Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsession with â&#x20AC;&#x153;degenerate artâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;virtually all modern art that was banned as â&#x20AC;&#x153;un-Germanâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and his attempts as an amateur architect to design buildings exemplifying his vision of a Nazi aesthetic. The series concludes on Thursday, May 15 with Portrait of Wally, a documentary detailing the history of an iconic Egon Schiele painting that was seized from a Jewish art dealer by the Nazis in 1939.

Jamey Johnson, Chris Hennessee

Georgia Theatre ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $32.50 Picture the country music prom. If Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood are in the gym slow dancing to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember When,â&#x20AC;?

Jamey Johnson is the unkempt outcast smoking weed in the parking lot. An Alabama native, Johnson spent eight years as a U.S. Marine, after which he decided to pursue music as a second career. Turned out he was good at it.

His first paying gigs were at Montgomery dive bars, but he has since worked his way up the ladder, becoming a go-to songwriter for artists like George Strait and Trace Adkins. A recent tribute album to country legend Hank Cochran found Johnson stepping further into the spotlight, duetting with Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson and many others and solidifying himself as the closest thing in Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; both in voice and attitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anarchic old guard. [Gabe Vodicka] EVENTS | Friday, May 9

UGA Spring Commencement

Sanford Stadium ¡ 7 p.m. ¡ FREE! Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior U.S. senator, Johnny Isakson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will give University of Georgia undergraduates one final chargeâ&#x20AC;Ś before the university sends off its newest alumni with a fireworks farewell,â&#x20AC;? according to a UGA news release. They must be talking about literal fireworks, because surely theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not referring to Isaksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaking style. UGA dean emeritus Andy Horne is the featured speaker at the graduate commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. in Stegeman Coliseum. Neither ceremony requires a ticket, so the public can comeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only for the fireworks. In addition, the university is finally doing

FLAGPOLE.COM â&#x2C6;&#x2122; MAY 7, 2014

something it should have done 50 years ago: conferring a (honorary) degree on Horace Ward. He was the first African American applicant to the UGA law school in 1950. After being rejected due to segregation, Ward went on to earn his law degree from Northwestern University and later became a state legislator and a federal judge. [Blake Aued] ART | Saturday, May 10

Moon Hooch, Monkier, J Walker

New Earth Athens ¡ 7 p.m. ¡ $5 New York City-based trio Moon Hooch honed its high-octane funk-jazz workouts by busking in NYC subway stations but has since transcended that subterranean start, opening tours for the likes of Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty and perennial indie pranksters They Might Be Giants. Comprised of saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen and drummer James Muschler, Moon Hoochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonic assault involves deep bass grooves and intricate interplay, characteristics that have endeared the group to the jam-band and EDM sets. But the music on the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-titled debut never comes off as mere wankery; instead, its organic approach acts as a wholly human counterpoint to the over-computerized detachment of most modern electronica.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Boyfriend or Friend?

My girlfriend of almost a year broke up with me about six months ago. We’ve seen each other occasionally, and we talk every once in a while. She has a new bf and lately she has been telling me that she wants us to be friends. I’m not sure about this. I still have feelings for her, and I’m still attracted to her, although neither my feelings nor my attraction are as strong as they once were. I do want to keep in touch with her and want her to be part of my life, but I’m kind of afraid that I won’t get over her if we are spending time together as friends.

The Ex

Lee Gatlin

You know what Bridget Jones says about the idea of being friends—it’s a “fraudulent, poisoned concept.” Maybe it’s not quite as bad as all that, but you do need to be cautious. What would the friendship look like? Sometimes, when I go out with my friends, one of them brings along the person she’s/he’s dating. Would you want to spend time with your ex and her new bf? Sometimes I go out to dinner with a friend one-on-one.

Would you be able to do that with your ex without feeling like it’s a date/wishing it were a date/feeling sad because it’s not a date/trying to turn it into a date?

I also think you’re right to consider how seeing her will impact your ability to move on. If you want to guarantee that you’ll be distracted and blinded to potential new relationships, keep one foot in this one.

I suggest telling her you care about her and wish her the best, but you’re not ready to be friends right now. Then, live your life. I advise a clean, complete break. No texts, calls, coffees or dinners to catch up.

You need some time to let your feelings change a little without her in close proximity. When you arrive at the point where you aren’t thinking about her like a girlfriend, when you truly want to see her, but aren’t kind of hoping she’ll try to kiss you, then proceed with the friendship. In my experience, that can take some time, so don’t rush it.

tenacious and creative in figuring out how to reduce your expenses.

Finding a new job that is higher-paying or closer to home is another possibility. Or, you might find out if you can work from home once or twice a week. Or five times a week. That would free up a lot of your time and energy.

In the realm of smaller changes, you can try to change part of your commute into leisure (or at least leisurely) time. Can you walk or bike part of the way?

You’re asking a bigger question though: Am I spending my hours (and consequently, my life) doing things I want to do?

Do you want to commute two hours each day? Gretchen Rubin says, “The years are short, but the days are long,” and she’s right. Similarly, how you spend your days is how you spend your years and how you spend your life. Your Money or Your Life talks a lot about evaluating what aspects of your life really bring you value and enjoyment. It’s worth a read when you’re thinking about the life you want to build. Don’t give up on the idea of having the life you want. It can be difficult to figure out at first, but it’s well worth it.

First, clear off your counters. Clear off the invitations and whatever else is piled there. You’re never going to get any peace of mind about this if you have to look at those invitations every time you walk by.

I feel like there are so many things Now that you’ve removed the I want to do, and there is never physical clutter, clear out the mental advice@flagpole.com or enough time. I’ve even considered clutter. Line up those four wedding moving closer to work to reduce my flagpole.com/getadvice invitations and decide which ones hour commute, but I’d have to pay you want to go to, which ones you’re three or four times what I do now for truly looking forward to, not the ones rent, and I think I know what you’d say about that. Plenty of you think you have to go to, not the ones that you can’t imagsleep and exercise are important to me, and my job frequently ine saying no to—the ones you are sincerely excited about. requires long hours. Any tips?

I’m expecting that there’s at least one among those four Time-Strapped that you don’t really want to attend. Maybe it’s all four.

Whichever and however many those are, mark the “declines That is the dilemma so many people face, and I applaud you with regret” option on those RSVPs. Right now. In pen. Now for identifying it. Our culture applauds busy-ness and somewrite a short note on the back of the card that says, “I’m so times people humble-brag about their long hours, as if those happy for you both, and I’m so disappointed that I won’t be long hours are a) inevitable and b) a badge of honor. The prob- able to be at your wedding.” Then put them in the mail and lem is that long hours in and of themselves don’t confer any be done with them. If anyone ever asks you about your nonreal joy, and, as you’ve pointed out, they sap your time and attendance, tell them you had a conflict that weekend. Which energy for other pursuits. you did—with your finances, your need for relaxation and Earning money is important, and giving your employer his maybe just with your desire to do something else. Those are all money’s worth from you is fair. But life is for enjoying; the aim conflicts. is to work to live, not the other way around. I’m in agreement Weddings and marriages can be exciting, happy, celebrawith you: Your job is not worth sacrificing your sleep, health, tory times. But weddings, in their current incarnation, can happiness, and quality of life over. also be burdensome—burdensome in some ways for the people If you have an hour-long commute, I think you’re going to putting them on and in other ways for the people attending have to make one or two big changes to get the results you them. This doesn’t mean weddings are bad; this doesn’t mean want. Moving might be one of those changes. You’re right that you shouldn’t attend them; this doesn’t mean no one has fun I don’t want you to quadruple your expenses, but make sure at weddings. It just means that they’re more complicated than you’re looking at the whole picture. If you moved, would you the cultural script surrounding weddings will acknowledge (and save some money on transportation that might offset your you know who writes that script: the wedding-industrial comincreased rent? It’s also fair to include your time in this calplex). I’m saying this to alleviate any guilt you feel about not culation: Determine your hourly wage and recognize that you being 100 percent overjoyed to be invited to these events. would be saving the cost of two hours commuting. Don’t take on a rent that’s greater than you can afford, but be ruthless, Rhonda advice@flagpole.com

Going to the Chapel I have what feels like a ridiculous problem, even to me as I type this. I’m being invited to too many weddings. Right now, there are invitations for four weddings sitting on my counter.

They all take place over the next two months. They’re all for people I like and want to celebrate with, but it’s too much! Some of them will be so expensive between travel, gifts and sometimes shower gifts, and the sum of all of them will definitely be a lot of money. They also fill up a lot of weekends, and I’m starting to dread going to so many. But a wedding is such a big important event! How can I get through these?
