Daily Vacation Bible School was, in my experience, one of those tortures devised by adults to teach delayed gratification to children. It invariably happened the week after school let out for the summer. There we were: We had already been going barefoot and wearing short pants since Confederate Memorial Day, when that blessed last day of school rolled around. Ah, the sweet release! Three whole months of summer stretched unblemished to the horizon of our minds; three months was a sweet eternity outside the classroom, lolling about in the sunshiny days (which weren’t so hot, since we didn’t have air conditioning).

Except. Except the ladies of the church always picked that first week of our summer vacation to schedule Daily Vacation Bible School. Which meant that just as we were ready for the release, we had to hold off.

Another agonizing week indoors. Actually, the sessions were only half a day, but they meant that we had to get up instead of sleeping late. We had to go to church and endure three hours of instruction inside.

We did get a break at mid-morning, where we got one of those little cardboard cups of vanilla ice cream and a little wooden spoon to eat it. The spoon was made out of the same slick wood as the popsicle sticks that were a staple of the art we were making inside. We ate our ice cream and had time for a little bit of chasing or seeing who could go the farthest around the brick wall of the church on the narrow granite ledge before falling off into the big fig bush. Then it was back inside to make Biblical things out of popsicle sticks and listen while Mrs. Ellie Beckam or Mrs. Bunny Irby or one of the other ladies told us about the lands of the Bible.

Somehow, everything we did during Daily Vacation Bible School was aimed at the pageant that we would present during the assembly on the final day, which of course was attended by our parents.

I can’t imagine that my father left work to attend this event, but he may have come to keep an eye on his bathrobe.

The pageant always involved lots of bathrobes and towels. We were, after all, studying the Holy Land, attempting to understand the area so important to our daily Bible studies in a way that accorded with the pale pictures in our Bibles, so that we could represent it in our pageant. After all those summers of Daily Vacation Bible School the only thing I learned about the Holy Land is that they wore bathrobes and towels and did something with popsicle sticks.

I remember during that period being absolutely shocked when I saw something in a newsreel at the movies about the Middle East showing that they still wore robes! My mind reeled.

Our pageants were about Biblical times; now I had come to find out that people still lived over there in the desert just like we had depicted them.

No doubt, what I was seeing in the newsreels went back to the very foundations of modern Israel, but we got nothing of that from Daily Vacation Bible School. History was forming behind our backs, but for us the Holy Land was way back in the deep past somewhere with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, whom we left in the fiery furnace as soon as the final bell sounded, and we were through with Bible School and finally free to do nothing supervised by an adult except eat supper.

Surely, I can’t hold the Methodist Church responsible for my lack of understanding about the lands and peoples of the Middle East, so important now to my world. I’ve had plenty of time and opportunity as an adult to try to understand that region, but have remained willfully unknowing. Now, that history has caught up with me. The Middle East impinges violently upon my world while I wander around like most Americans, robed in ignorance.

Money for Nothing

An Opening for David Perdue

Tax breaks—they’re not just for Caterpillar anymore.

The state of Georgia and Athens-Clarke and Oconee counties gave that manufacturer a package of tax breaks and infrastructure worth more than $70 million to build a plant in Bogart. While it’s unfortunate, these giveaways are par for the course for industries that employ hundreds and thousands of people, as companies pit state against state to see who’ll give them the best deal.

Now, apparently such largesse extends even to more mundane businesses. After offering property tax breaks to the Eastside Publix and the giant new Kroger under construction off Highway 72, the ACC Industrial Development Authority was prepared to grant $30 million in low-interest bonds and millions of dollars’ worth of property tax abatements for a new Hyatt Place adjacent to the Classic Center. The tax breaks would have saved the Hyatt (and cost the county) about $2.5 million over a 10-year period.

board member: Why are these incentives needed? Is the project a risk? Can’t the developers find private financing? If not, is there really a need for another downtown hotel?

“If they think it’s so great to have a connecting hotel, that’s a business decision on their part to raise the money to do it,” Barron said.

Hamby raised the specter of businesses leaving Atlanta Highway and moving to Epps Bridge Parkway. Tax breaks are a tool to keep that from happening, he said. “A lot of it’s going to go Oconee County, and it’s going to fall back on all of our property taxes,” he said.

But that dynamic doesn’t apply here. A hotel with a business model contingent upon being attached to the Classic Center can’t be in Oconee County. Eventually, Hamby fell back on the argument that it’s too late to turn the ship around, noting that the IDA had already unanimously approved the agreement in preliminary form—and, it should be noted, negotiated the package down from $4 million. “I can’t imagine anything worse, more business-unfriendly” than backing out at the 11th hour, he said. Our government is too scared of being called “anti-business” to ponder the difference between being friendly to business and bending over for it.

Besides, existing hotel operators certainly didn’t consider the Hyatt giveaways business-friendly. “To my knowledge, no hotel has ever gotten this kind of deal,” This is the proposed Hyatt Place, whose developers don’t think they should said Mike Waldrip, president have to pay taxes. of the Athens Area Hotel Association.

It all seemed to be breaking the right way for Rep. Jack Kingston after the Senate Republican primary. Kingston was able to hold off a late surge by Karen Handel in the primary campaign’s closing days to make it into a runoff with businessman David Perdue.

Kingston then started hauling in endorsements from candidates like Handel and Rep. Phil Gingrey, along with the support of House colleagues Lynn Westmoreland, Tom Price and Rob Woodall. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich also said he was supporting Kingston in the runoff. Those endorsements were followed by polls showing Kingston with a double-digit lead over Perdue as the candidates trudged towards the July 22 runoff.

But that all changed after a story broke in the Atlanta media about more than $80,000 in Kingston campaign contributions that were connected to a convicted felon facing possible deportation.

Kingston received the contributions from people associated with two companies linked to Khalid Satary, a Palestinian who served more than three years in federal prison for running a counterfeit CD operation. Ever since his release from prison in 2008, the federal government has been trying to boot Satary out of the country.

Kingston’s campaign has not denied accepting the contributions—that would be difficult to do considering that Kingston was photographed at a fundraiser with Satary.

However, the congressman has yet to come up with a coherent explanation as to why his campaign would have even accepted money from such questionable sources in the first place. Unable to explain itself, the Kingston campaign has fallen back on a time-tested political tactic: Blame the media. Kingston’s spokesman says these “baseless attacks” by reporters are part of a “smear campaign” being waged against the congressman.

The story of the mysterious contributions from a convicted felon does not seem to have

had an impact in any runoff polls, but the uproar did provide an opening for Perdue to go after his runoff opponent. “Any campaign can have rogue contributors—that happens,” Perdue said after the story first broke.

“It just raises questions,” Perdue said.

“Why did they keep the money then if they think it’s appropriate to give it back now, and why did they cover it up for two months?

I think the voters of Georgia would like an answer to that question.” To make up ground in the runoff, Perdue may have to ask those same questions in campaign commercials that keep the issue alive with Georgia voters. There are many advertising consultants who could take the basic facts of the Kingston story and come up with a dozen attack ads right off the top of their head.

Perdue has the financial resources to take that line of attack, if he chooses. He and Kingston have both raised credible amounts of money for the Senate race. The last available campaign reports showed Kingston had raised $5.62 million, a total that included $1.9 million he transferred from his U.S. House campaign account. Perdue had raised $4.34 million, with about $2.65 million coming out of his own pocket. As the wealthy, retired CEO of several large corporations, Perdue would be able to write one more large check to his campaign for one last push in the runoff campaign.

Is he willing to do that? Perdue did not give a definitive answer. “We will have the resources to get our message out,” was all he would say. “I’m a business guy—I put serious skin in the game.”

That may be the decision on which this Senate runoff hinges. Is Perdue willing to go all out in one last surge against Kingston?

Or can Kingston hang on to enough of his polling lead to run out the clock and get the nomination?

The Chain Gang: Is Downtown Still Locally Owned?

It definitely gave Athens a Shelby Clayton, a University of Georgia student from unique quality that made it stand out in comparison to other Stockbridge, says she always takes family and friends to local towns. It was probably what made me and many other people restaurants “to share that experience with them.” Emily Curl, fall in love with the city. a senior from Dallas, GA, says some of her “favorite memories But locally owned businesses—Helix, Cookies & Company, with friends and family come from trying and hanging out at Lee’s Wig Shop, Farm 255, Echo, Five Star Day, Sunshine Cycles local restaurants downtown.” Catie Kill, a senior from Marietta, and, this fall, Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother, just to name a says, “I love exploring new places to eat and shop, because it few—have been closing or moving out of downtown the past makes the experience much more intimate and memorable.

USA. Others, though, believe that chains can complement the locally owned businesses so many Athens residents love.

Businesses have all kinds of reasons for closing. Jasmine Lee of Lee’s Wigs cited parking and a younger clientele downtown as reasons for moving to West Broad Street. Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother owner Mark Gavron is simply ready to retire. A rent hike contributed to Five Star Day’s closing its doors last June.

Rents are rising downtown, according to Athens commercial real estate consultant David S. Dwyer, but only in what he calls the premium “Main and Main” locations, like Broad Street, College Square and Clayton Street. On the outskirts, they’re still affordable for many less-trafficked businesses, he says. “I would say that retail rents downtown vary widely,” he says. “Naturally, they’re going to be at their peak at the busiest intersections and most visible locations.”

In some cases, corporate chains may be the only ones who can pay the rent for prime locaAok Boyd of A-OK Cafe says her business has increased since Subway moved in next door. tions and space in swanky new developments. “I think you need a good mix,” says Mike Hamby, an Athens-Clarke County commissioner and Athens Downtown During the furor over a Walmart potentially opening in Development Authority board member. “Some of those chains the Selig development downtown a few years ago, opponents can pay the rent and be sustainable.” feared that the retail giant would kill smaller downtown busiThe aforementioned Cookies & Company space on College nesses.

competition is introduced. It’s likely that consumers will end up with a better experience at chains and competing local spots once there’s more competition.”

While a little competition is healthy, Geddis also worries about “national chains coming in and taking over spaces once rented or owned by local businesses.” Some cities, such as San Francisco, restrict or even ban chain stores in certain areas, but that is not a step Hamby thinks is necessary here. “Chains bring people downtown,” he says. “It’ll make it to where the local business beside them can bring more people in as well.”

Developers know that downtown Athens’ uniqueness is their bread-and-butter and don’t want to do anything to hurt that quality, says Dwyer, who’s overseeing the mixed-use development under construction next to SunTrust Bank at Lumpkin and Clayton streets. “We’re in discussions with a lot of local tenants,” he says. The chains—including a grocery store Dwyer is “working fervently” to get—will complement locally owned downtown businesses rather than compete directly, he says.

The SunTrust development will benefit surrounding businesses by drawing more people to the area and replacing a surface parking lot that discouraged people from walking farther west past the Georgia Theatre with an unbroken line of pedestrian-friendly storefronts, Dwyer says. “If you bring more people downtown, you create a healthier business climate for everyone,” he says.

With consumers still conscious of how they spend their money in today’s economy, their decisions may not be based on whether a business is locally owned. Jason Ellis, co-owner and chef at The Branded Butcher, says he “likes to see people support businesses because they are a quality establishment, whether local or not.

“The economic environment over the last few years has created a new kind of consumer,” he says. “People aren’t necessarily afraid to spend money, but they are deciding where they’re happiest spending that money. I think it makes businessmen try harder, appreciate people more and be more concerned with quality products, service, atmosphere, etc. Fortunately for Athens, those businesses are, a lot of times, the local guys.”

The local guys are growing, too. Chains cut both ways. For every Fuzzy’s (a Texas-based chain) or Brixx (with 20 locations in the Southeast), there’s a Barberito’s or Jittery Joe’s—small chains that started in downtown Athens and expanded into other cities. Athens has plenty of businesses that have reached well beyond the borders of our town to spread some of Athens’ charm to places not fortunate enough to be Athens.

How Soon Is Now?

Commission Punts on Prince Again he Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission finally held a long-awaited work session Tuesday, June 10 to consider options for crossing Prince Avenue without taking your life into your own hands. But after waiting for more than a decade, pedestrians will have to wait several more months, at least, before finding some relief.

T

overcome, but it’s not simple,” Clark said. “What works on one block section is not necessarily going to work on another block section.”

Traffic Now

Clark ran through a variety of options for improving safety.

The simplest (and cheapest) would be textured crosswalks,

The Options

Another option for improving visibility is an overhead flashing beacon, which costs $20,000–$30,000.

A HAWK signal would take it one step further. HAWK signals—used in other parts of the country and abroad but just recently approved in Georgia—are essentially traffic lights at crosswalks. A pedestrian would punch the button, and the signal would turn from blank to yellow and then red for a few seconds, telling drivers to stop and allow the person to cross. They have to be mounted on arms, not wires, so they cost $40,000–$70,000, and drivers would need some education, Clark said. “It’s not intuitive,” he said. “It’s a traffic signal but doesn’t have a green indication.”

Funding could come from $60,000 in unspent funds for crosswalk improvements or SPLOST funding earmarked for Safe Routes to School and road and bridge projects— although the latter would involve taking money away from other planned projects.

A three lane configuration—at least along the 0.6 miles between Pulaski Street and Milledge Avenue that’s owned by ACC—is “certainly still a possibility,” Clark said. But he would prefer to wait until 2018, when the street is due for repaving, because otherwise the current markings can’t properly be ground off.

There was virtually no discussion at the work session of a road diet or the proposal

by Complete Streets: Prince Avenue to conduct a demonstration to determine if narrowing the road and adding pedestrian refuges will clog traffic. “In my opinion, the benefits of road diets were too quickly glossed over, and their challenges were exaggerated,” said Tyler Dewey, executive director of BikeAthens.

A marked crosswalk or pedestrian island alone isn’t enough, Dewey said, noting that 15 percent of Prince-area residents walk to work and 5 percent bike, according to the ACC Planning Department. “People along the corridor are already shifting modes [of transportation],” he said. “Promoting walkability and cycling on Prince Avenue would continue to shift people into multiple modes, but only if the street configuration is more accommodating of other modes of travel.”

Ada County Highway District

ACC traffic engineers gathered data over two weekdays at various points along Prince and several side streets. Coming east into town, traffic is fairly light and very fast (15 percent of cars travel at least 10 miles per hour over the speed limit) around Sunset Drive, then becomes much heavier after Oglethorpe Avenue. As cars turn off onto Milledge Avenue, it becomes lighter again, then a bit busier on the last stretch before hitting downtown.

Although most traffic was moving at or below the 35 mph speed limit at three of the five points ACC measured, it gets much faster at night, Clark said. “As less traffic is on the corridor, speeds certainly increase,” he said.

Slowing down traffic dramatically improves a pedestrian’s chances of surviving being hit by a car. At 40 mph, the odds of death are 85 percent, but that drops to 35 percent at 35 mph and 5 percent at 20 mph.

Overall, traffic ranges from 18,000– 24,000 vehicles per day and averages 20,000—the threshold for an effective road diet, according to ACC, although other cities have successfully done three-lane configura- A HAWK signal in Garden City, ID. tions on much busier roads. Traffic on other local roads that have been successfully switched from four which cost $7,000–$10,000. “We’ve been doing that very travel lanes to two with a center turn lane—including Milledge successfully lately around our schools,” Clark said. But while Avenue, Lumpkin Street and Baxter Street—see about 13,000– textured crosswalks are more visible to drivers during the day, 18,000 vehicles per day. they’re harder to see at night than the painted variety, and In general, traffic moves fastest on the widest parts of they’re considered primarily an aesthetic improvement, he said.

The burrito, too, seems very West Coast, filled with sauteed mushrooms, olives, green onions, bell peppers, salsa, your choice of beans and Jack cheese.

FAMILY: Apart from a brief mention on the Grub Notes blog on Flagpole’s website when it opened, you wouldn’t really know BIG Family Cafe existed, but you should. The restaurant took over the space in Homewood Hills that was most recently occupied by The Camp (Glenda Brown, meanwhile, is looking for another location where she can ply her trade), but despite a good location, a well-executed menu and a supernice family who run the place, it might as well be invisible.

Let this serve as a wider notice that Big Family Cafe is there, and it is often delightful.

The weird, long, narrow space, which doesn’t have much in the way of atmosphere, will never be spectacular, but new booths make it cozier, a paint job has brightened things up and a couple of flatscreen TVs tend to be tuned to Classic Arts Showcase. BIG Family Cafe only operates from 7 a.m.–3 p.m., but it does so every day and makes an especially Big Family great spot for weekend breakfast.

The menu is large and focused on American standards, executed with a slight California accent. For example, the Cajun Ortega burger comes topped with green chiles and Monterey Jack. The spices used to season it are described as “Cajun,� but they’re mild, and

Like Momma Made

Friday often involves fried fish, but Sunday is a classic meat-and-two menu, with a fourveggie plate should you prefer. Don’t skip the cornbread dressing, which is simple, moist without being too wet, accented with plenty of sage and clearly made from someone’s grandmother’s recipe. The macaroni and cheese is likewise well put together, with a good combination of crust and gooey interior.

The black-eyed peas, like many of the offerings, aren’t much to look at, but they taste wonderfully of ham. The fried chicken and the baked ham are competent, the cabbage maybe a bit underseasoned and the breads nothing to write home about. The lemon tea is almost like syrup (you’ll crash from the sugar an hour later), but worth the roller-coaster ride.

Auntee’s takes debit cards and cash but not credit cards, seems to do more to-go business than dine-in (especially right after the church across the street lets out), and isn’t long on atmosphere but is a perfectly nice place to grab lunch, especially if you happen to be in the area.

different fruits featured depending on the day, and, unlike most places’, it actually tastes homemade, not overly sugary and doughy.

Breakfast is equally solid. The dill and artichoke three-egg omelet also includes tomatoes and is neither too fluffy nor too flat. The huevos rancheros are both light and hearty, topped with pinto or black beans, cheese, olives, avocado and a fairly spicy ranchero sauce. The veggie eggs Benedict includes avocado and tomato, and the hollandaise, once again, tastes like it was made only a few minutes prior, not poured from a gross container. Chocolate chip pancakes aren’t sloppy just because they’re made for kids, and the house bread of the day might turn out to be a charming strawberry-orange muffin.

Nothing is sophisticated, but everything is heartfelt and homemade. The service is enthused and occasionally a little scattered but sweet. There are tons of choices for vegetarians, but you can also get a steak for breakfast should you want. BIG Family Cafe serves no alcohol but takes credit cards and is accommodating as can be.

movie dope drew’s reviews EDGE OF TOMORROW (PG-13) Sadly, Edge of Tomorrow may

 be the worst-advertised movie of the year; its less-than-evocative,

unimaginative title does not help. (The Japanese light novel on which it is based has the superior title, All You Need Is Kill). The trailer portrays a joyless action movie where an exo-suited Tom Cruise continuously kills the same generic aliens over and over. In reality, Cruise’s newest actioner is a charmingly funny, engagingly smart, sci-fi take on Groundhog Day. Cruise’s character, Major William Cage, is the Army’s PR guy, who winds up stripped of his rank when he balks at hyping humanity’s invasion of alien-held France.

In the invasion, the untrained Cage dies but somehow wakes up to repeat the day. Fortunately, war hero Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) knows what’s going on and gives Cage some pointers on effective soldiering. Cage’s repeated forays into battle and subsequent improvements call to mind the process of playing a video game: Cage learns the enemy patterns and makes it a little farther each time. Fortunately, director Doug Liman and writers Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth briskly pace the repetitive scenes, giving Cruise ample material with which to charm.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (PG) How to Train Your Dragon 2 aspires to make a wonderful family film and turn it into an epic.

Hiccup (v. Jay Baruchel) and his dragon, Toothless, spend their days flying across the world, discovering new locations and maybe new dragons. On one of these flights, the duo runs into a dragon trapper, Eret (v. Kit Harington, “Game of Thrones”), working for the vile dragon hunter, Drago Bloodfist (v.

Djimon Hounsou). Drago’s a newly monstrous villain looking to conquer fear, dragons and humanity. Fortunately, Hiccup’s mother, Valka (v. Cate Blanchett), returns from her 20-year absence rescuing dragons. Will the dragon riders of Berk be able to stop Drago or will he take their dragons as well? Writerdirector Dean DeBlois fantastically ups the ante from the first film. Still, this cartoon is kid-friendly. The antics of the other young dragon riders, voiced by Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig, will entertain the youngest, while the high-flying action will wow the oldest. Without a Pixar release to challenge it, How to Train Your Dragon 2 should be the family champion at the cinema. Good thing it deserves the title better than most.



also playing 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 unleashed in a major superhero movie. Andrew Garfield returns as Peter Parker/SpiderMan 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 setpieces; both of Spidey’s fights with Jamie Foxx’s blueheaded 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.

Bookending the boring are two great acts. The action-packed finale jams three supervillains into what can’t be more than 20 minutes. Make sure you wake up for it.

BLENDED (PG-13) Ten years after 50 First Dates, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore reunite as single parents who, after meeting on a bad blind date, fall for each other on an African safari with their kids. Sandler invited his Wedding Singer, Waterboy, and Click pal and director Frank Coraci for the sure-to-be critically reviled, financially successful family flick. The supporting cast is fairly expected (Kevin Nealon, Allen Covert, Shaq, Dan Patrick, etc.), but Terry Crews, Wendi McClendon-

BREADCRUMB TRAIL As part of this year’s AthFest FilmFest Rock Docs Series, Ciné is screening director Lance Bangs’ documentary about Louisville, KY’s Slint. These guys toured with Samhain at the age of 14 and recorded their seminal album, Spiderland, before turning 21. They broke up before it was released. Bangs spent two decades culling unseen footage of the teen musicians and arranged the band’s first on-camera interviews.

Also appearing are Steve Albini, Ian Mackaye, David Grubbs, David Yow, James Murphy and Will Oldham via archive footage. Meet Bangs at the screening on Sunday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m. (Ciné) CHEF (R) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (PG-13) Finally; it took long enough for another wide-release feature to compete with The LEGO Movie; 2014’s list of best films so far is dominated by VOD and indies. The adaptation of John Green’s story of cancer-teens in love succeeds on numerous fronts. The script by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (they had similar success with the slightly superior The Spectacular Now) ably and completely translates Green from page to screen. Nothing of the book, neither its pain nor humor, is lost (even though a few things could have been). Ultimately, the source material is YA, meaning proclamations of endless love are de rigueur, but at least these kids might be right when they say they will never love anyone else as much. Hazel and Gus are dying, after all. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are matchingly resigned and hopeful.

In her string of roles portraying YA protagonists, Woodley might have given her best performances. But the adults

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JUNE 18, 2014

should not be forgotten. Laura Dern chisels Hazel’s mom out of some tough china, and Willem Dafoe entertains as expected. (These two are a long way from David Lynch’s Wild at Heart.)

Come prepared to cry.

GODZILLA 1954. With Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla destroying box office records, Ishirô Honda’s original kaiju flick returns. The initial incarnation of Toho Studios’ monstrous nuclear allegory may just be a guy in a rubber suit, but the film is still arguably the best of the series (a strong argument can be made for the new one), taking its anti-nuke message quite seriously. The Japanese version, Gojira, is superior to the recut American version, Godzilla: King of Monsters, starring Raymond “Perry Mason” Burr, in so many ways.

(Ciné) GODZILLA (PG-13) 2014. The King of Monsters has recovered from his 1998 trip stateside with this extremely satisfying entry in Toho’s long-running kaiju franchise. The filmmakers—Monsters director Gareth Edwards, screenwriter Max Borenstein and Dave Callaham —make several smart decisions with their Hollywood reboot of Godzilla.

They go ahead and start with goodZilla. The giant radioactive lizard is a

a Palme d’Or nomination at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. (Ciné) n JERSEY BOYS (R) A musical directed by Clint Eastwood has Oscar push written all over it. So why is Jersey Boys getting a summer release? This musical biopic has few stars (Christopher Walken is the trailer’s most familiar face) but lots of hit songs [“Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll,” “December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” and lots more] as it recounts the rise and fall of the ‘60s rock and rollers, The Four Seasons. Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young reprises his role as Frankie Valli.

THE LIFE, LOVE & HATE OF A FREE JAZZ MAN AND HIS WOMAN 2012. As part of this year’s AthFest FilmFest Rock Docs Series, Ciné is screening director Jorge Torres-Torres’ The Life, Love & Hate of a Free Jazz Man and His Woman.

Arthur Doyle, who died this past January, was once an up-and-coming saxophonist during the ‘60s and ‘70s in New York. What did years of chasing that ever elusive “original sound” do for him? See for yourself on the big screen. Director Torres-Torres and musician Patrick Carey will be in

Yes, but it says, “talk like a man,” which you clearly aren’t doing. much more intriguing character when it’s a force for neutral good. Big G must do battle with two MUTOs (massive unidentified terrestrial organisms), one of which bears more than a passing resemblance to series fave Mothra.

The monster design and FX is superb, even if the two-hour film takes its sweet time putting it to full use. Edwards clings too long to his “less is more” Monsters aesthetic. The marginal cost of the teasing outweighs its marginal benefit in the third act. Even with a cast that includes Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and David Strathairn, the humans do not matter. It’s Godzilla that audiences are paying to see. Fortunately, the film ends at its strongest, a knockdown dragout between the monsters that does not disappoint.

THE IMMIGRANT (R) 2013. In a departure from his past crime dramas, filmmaker James Gray (Little Odessa, The Yards, We Own the Night and Two Lovers) tackles a period immigration drama. Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) must rescue her sister from quarantine on Ellis Island. To do so, she falls in with Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), who forces Ewa into prostitution until stage magician Orlando (Jeremy Renner) appears to offer her an escape. For Gray’s well-received work, he received

attendance for the screening, which will be held on Friday, June 20 at 7:30 p.m. (Ciné) MALEFICENT (PG) Maleficent is clearly birthed from the Alice in Wonderland strain of family fantasy, and despite being more successful than either of 2012’s dueling Snow White retellings, overdoses on style while lacking the original cartoon’s charm.

Actually, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) was a super nice overgrown fairy until an evil human broke her heart and stole her wings. When that evil human grows up to be King Stefan (Sharlto Copley, as weird as ever), Maleficent curses his infant daughter Aurora to the sleep of death on her 16th birthday. But being truly nice, Maleficent moons over Aurora (Elle Fanning) as she grows into a beatific imbecile. No one benefits from this ultimately unrewarding retconning of Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty, least of all the titular evil fairy.

Here, the powerfully wicked Maleficent is relegated to a petty trickster in snakeskin head wraps. Sometimes a villain’s just a villain, a baddie just a baddie. (But Disney being Disney, prepare for a whole new line of Disney villain movies. I can’t wait until Cruella, where we find Ms. De Vil was attacked by a rabid dog as a youngster, thereby justifying her plan to make a coat out of 101 Dalmatian pups.)

MILLION DOLLAR ARM (PG) Kudos to director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) and excellent screenwriter Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor and Win Win) for taking what could have been another sappy, inspirational Disney sports movie and turning out a mostly satisfying retelling of the true recruitment of Major League Baseball’s first Indian players.

Struggling sports agent J.B. Bernstein (Jon Hamm) needs a big hit to stay in the game. His unconventional idea leads him to India looking for a baseball pitcher amongst cricket bowlers.

But bringing young Rinku (Life of Pi’s Suraj Sharma) and Dinesh (Madhur Mittal, Slumdog Millionaire) back to the States is only the first half of the game. Now confirmed bachelor J.B. must father his alternative family to victory. Despite its major flaw, predictability, Million Dollar Arm succeeds.

Hamm could not be more roguishly charming, and Bell is an underrated comedienne and actress.

A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST (R) Seth MacFarlane heads out west for his sophomore feature comedy, and the results are predictable.

MacFarlane is nothing if not unsurprising. Here’s a musical number. There’s a reference to another movie you’ll recognize. Next up, drugs! For about the length of two “Family Guy” episodes, AMWTDITW entertains. Cowardly sheep farmer, Albert, loses his pretty fiancée, Louise (Amanda Seyfriend), only to befriend and court mysterious newcomer, Anna (Charlize Theron, who is starting to resemble a better-looking Nicole Kidman). Anna is unhappily married to the most dangerous gunman in the West, Clinch (Liam Neeson, who will do anything for a paycheck now), and despite being a sharpshooter herself, needs a man to save her. As the prostitute girlfriend of Albert’s pal, Edward (Giovanni Ribisi), Sarah Silverman might get the most laughs per line delivered. Sadly, Neil Patrick Harris is wasted as a Wild West Barney Stinson. AMWTDITW is far from laughless, but the anachronistic non sequiturs consistently score more than the comic setpieces. Blown up on the big screen, MacFarlane’s weirdly smooth face (he appears to be wearing more makeup than any of his female costars) also distracts. At two hours, the percentage of laughs to groans dwindles to sub-Mendoza Line territory.

NEIGHBORS (R) The smartest move made by the year’s funniest comedy

(to date) was to spread the guilt and the sympathy between the family (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) and the frat bros (led by Zac Efron and Dave Franco). When a fraternity moves in next door to new parents, Mac and Kelly Radner, a war breaks out after Mac calls the cops on one of the frat’s first parties. Though both sides trade early victories, no one really wins when these neighbors attempt a game of real estate chicken. Who will move first?

My fear going into the movie was that Efron’s frat president, Teddy, would be so brah-ish he’d lack any sympathy, but the High School Musical alumnus imbues the pretty boy with unexpected likability. He’s simply a nice guy, as is his VP, Pete (Franco, proving he’s more than James’ little bro). The movie spends equal time with both families, dividing the laughs and the commiseration. Director Nicholas Stoller finally figures out the whole comedy runtime, delivering good, hard R gags.

PLACES IN PERIL As part of this year’s AthFest FilmFest Rock Docs Series, Ciné will screen musician T. Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate) and photographer Jason Thrasher’s extended music video inspired by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s annual Places in Peril list. Morris and Thrasher traveled to each location to film a video for each of the ten songs on Morris’ debut solo album, Audition Tapes. Morris and Thrasher will be in attendance at the screening, which is set for Wednesday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. (Ciné) THINK LIKE A MAN TOO (PG-13) Everyone returns to mine more gold from the sequel to the hit romantic comedy based on Steve Harvey’s bestseller, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. The gang reconvenes in Las Vegas for the wedding of Candace and Michael (Regina Hall and Terence Jenkins). What happens in Vegas shakes up everyone’s lives. With director Tim Story, original writers David A. Newman and Keith Merryman, and original cast members Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Romany Malco, Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union and Kevin Hart all back, can this second marriage be as successful?

THIRD PERSON (R) Academy Award winner Paul Haggis (boy, Crash’s reputation has not improved over the years) tells three interlocking stories starring Liam Neeson, Mila Kunis, Adrien Brody, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Moran Atias, Maria Bello and Kim Basinger. In Paris, a writer (Neeson) meets with his younger lover (Wilde) after leaving his wife (Basinger). In New York, a young mother (Kunis) struggles to regain custody of her son from his father (Franco). Finally, in Rome, an American (Brody) helps an Italian woman (Atias) recover her daughter from gangsters.

UNINVITED (PG-13) 1988. It’s baaack! Like a crazed killer from a low-rent horror flick, Bad Movie Night returns to celebrate the very worst movies of all time. In Uninvited, a mutated cat attacks horny coeds on a yacht one year before Jason Voorhees attacked an ill-fated cruise. The cast impresses with George Kennedy, Clu Gulager (Alert!) and Rob “Silk Stalkings� Estes.

Writer-director Greydon Clark (MSTies will know him from Angels Revenge and the Joe Don Baker starring Final Justice) even gets his name above the

title a la John Carpenter. (CinÊ) VENUS IN FUR Roman Polanski is back (and won France’s Cesar for Best Director) for this erotic comedy (?) starring Mathieu Amalric, who could star as a younger Polanksi, and Emmanuelle Seigner, who costarred with Amalric in the excellent The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. An actress attempts to convince a director she is right for his next production. Polanski was nominated for Cannes’ Palme d’Or, and the film received six Cesar noms (including Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress).

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (PG-13) Director Bryan Singer returns after a two-film hiatus for a successful X-venture combining the best of the first two X-Men (a heavy dose of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine) with Matthew Vaughn’s valedictory First Class. Wolverine takes center stage as his psyche is sent back to the 1970s (cue the fashion, the automobiles, the Nixon) to convince a young, feuding

Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to work together to stop the end of the human and mutantkind. If you’re a fan of any X-Men outside of Wolvie, Prof X, Magneto, Beast (Marcus Hoult) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), you’re out of luck.

Quicksilver does get introduced (he’s also slated to appear in Avengers 2) with the film’s piece de resistance, a slow motion sequence set to Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle.� Quirky “American Horror Story� alum Evan Peters provides the perfect jittery teen version of the speedy mutant. Like previous Singer X-Men, the film gets a little logy in the middle, but somehow the wonky time-traveling narrative keeps traveling forward with little confusion. It only took five movies, but I am ready to give in to the Mystique agenda being pushed since the first X-movie in 2000.

Refire CHEF (R) After spending the last 11 years or so helming slick, big-budget and personalityfree Hollywood studio pictures (Elf, Iron Man 2 and Cowboys and Aliens), director/writer/ actor Jon Favreau attempts a return to his indie roots with Chef. (He wrote and starred in the 1996 comedy Swingers.) Favreau plays Carl Casper, a punchy chef at a high-profile, trendy Los Angeles restaurant, who has a major career meltdown after he receives a scathing review by a notable food critic (Oliver Platt)

will Casper’s attempt to refire his career and life convince his loved ones that he’s not simply delaying growing up?

There are plenty of food porn montages in Chef, and lovers of watching food carefully and lovingly prepared in bright closeup will be seduced by this amiable, though overlong, comedy. With his blustery onscreen everydaybro charm and big-gut swagger, Favreau is enjoyable to watch, and his desire as a filmmaker to recapture his indie roots is admirable

Emjay Anthony and Jon Favreau and subsequently starts a social media feud with the snide scribe. What makes the review so painful is that Casper wasn’t cooking from his heart but following the orders of the restaurant’s owner, Riva (Dustin Hoffman), who ordered Casper strictly to follow his own bland menu ideas. Casper has been playing it safe and is now paying the price for betraying his own culinary instincts. After his public blowup, captured on video by several of the restaurant’s patrons, the tempestuous single dad flounders around, at one point even contemplating becoming a contestant on the reality show “Hell’s Kitchen.� Instead, Casper relocates to Miami and devises a way to get his mojo back: running his own food truck with his ex-sous chef/kitchen comrade (John Leguizamo) and his son (Emjay Anthony). But

In essence, Chef is just a vanity project for a big studio jobber searching for his cinematic soul again. As Casper wants to reclaim his career making unpretentious street food, Favreau likewise yearns to make a small characterdriven indie comedy. The recent John Turturro movie, Fading Gigolo (reviewed in the May 14 issue of Flagpole), was also a vanity project, but that movie’s director is far less enamored of the studio machine. Favreau bites the hand that feeds him, but he’s far too shrewd to chomp.

14 AthFest Undercards to See

A

Brothers

an EP, Bein’ Mean. The live band shares members with several other notable local acts, including Brooklyn transplants Little Gold and the aforementioned Brothers, but don’t call it a supergroup—this is Chmura’s rock and roll baby through and through. [GV]

Nicholas Mallis & The Borealis

7 p.m. Saturday, Hull Street Stage It is to my own shame that I ignored Nicholas Mallis’ former band, Yo Soybean, for so long simply because of its name; Mallis, who is among this town’s best songwriters, can twist a lyric and pick a trebly riff with the best of them. His new band, The Borealis, is set to release its first album, Golden Age Vanity, in July. The record pulls from the twin initiatives of surf-rock and the great American songbook. Word on the street is there will be some pre-release copies of Golden Age Vanity available at the group’s AthFest performance. [GL]

9 p.m. Friday, Georgia Theatre Rooftop After a few years of development, Brothers came fully into its own with last year’s Street Names EP. Like a bout of déjà vu, the band’s softly focused sound is immediately recognizable but hard to pin down. The feeling is one of having been in this place before, but the context is different even if the signifiers are the same. Certain easy nametags apply to Brothers: dreampop, indie rock and, to a much lesser extent, shoegaze. Words that don’t apply: common, trite, unnecessary. [Gordon Lamb] Mike White · deadlydesigns.com

8:30 p.m. Saturday, Hull Street Stage Having recently played a handful of high-profile gigs on the West Coast and plenty of shows in the region, Ruby the Rabbitfoot—fronted by local songwriter Ruby Kendrick—is apt to offer an especially polished set of infectious pop tunes Saturday. Ruby’s New as Dew, released earlier this spring on Athens’ Normaltown Records, has acquired considerable national attention because of a strong lead-off single in “Ways.” Rave reviews don’t lie; Ruby’s silky voice out in front of mellowed-out arrangements make for a perfect summersoundtrack combination. [Dan Mistich]

10 p.m. Friday, 40 Watt Club A violent and volatile mix of post-rock, psych and noise, Shade sounds like nothing else in Athens right now. Every song is drenched in layers of fuzz and distortion; every sound bleeds into the next with reckless abandon. If you weren’t paying attention, it might sound like pure chaos. But make no mistake: This trio’s tense and overwhelming atmosphere is carefully, masterfully crafted. Coming into AthFest on the strength of the great Pipe Dream LP, Shade is destined to be one of the loudest and most engaging highlights of the weekend. Wear earplugs for maximum enjoyment and safety. [Nathan Kerce]

murk daddy flex

10:45 p.m. Friday, 40 Watt Club The best calling card in the world is taste plus talent.

Those two factors contribute highly to the music of Terence Chiyezhan, a.k.a. murk daddy flex. Chiyezhan’s understated personality and unassuming public persona seems to directly inform the uber-confident, compelling music he makes.

Whether scrounging samples from some forgotten record bin, creating space-place-worthy beats or stewing it all together with a sense of urgent relaxation, murk daddy flex makes essential music for the new now generation. [GL]

Deep State

1 a.m. Friday, Little Kings Shuffle Club Songwriter Taylor Chmura fronts this punchy, punky local garage-pop group, which recently released a surprise gem of

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JUNE 18, 2014

10 p.m. Saturday, Ciné This year marks the first time AthFest has hosted an official hip hop event, and really, it’s about damn time. Though it has been largely underrepresented outside certain circles until quite recently, Athens has long been home to a tight-knit and talented rap and R&B community. Promoter Montu Miller organized and hosts Saturday’s showcase, which features up-andcoming MCs like Tony B, Blacknerdninja and Big Body. [GV]

The Many Faces of Athens Hip Hop

Lindsay Chmura

side from giving students and townies alike yet another reason to throw back a few cold ones while soaking up some hot sounds, AthFest, which takes over downtown this week, functions as a crash course for outsiders on the current state of the Athens music scene. Whether you’re a former resident in town for the first time since last summer or a first-time festival attendee curious about Classic City culture, you’ve got a whole lot of music to catch up on.

That’s where Flagpole comes in. If you’re reading this, you’re likely familiar with the marquee names playing AthFest—names like Reptar, Kishi Bashi and Drivin’ N Cryin’. (Even if you’re not, you can turn to the AthFest program stuck smack-dab in the middle of this issue to get better acquainted.)

But as excited as we are about the headliners, for our official AthFest preview, we figured we’d dive into the deep end of the festival’s schedule to preview some of the lesser-known local acts and showcases (14, to be exact, in honor of the current calendar year) that we’re most pumped to catch—and that you definitely shouldn’t miss. Below, Flagpole’s music writers, along with a couple of well-known local musicians, explain those picks. [Gabe Vodicka]

Dream Boat

9:30 p.m. Saturday, Hendershot’s Coffee Bar Page Campbell, Dan Donahue et al’s majestic space-folk hits me like nothing I ever hear—weird, amazing sounds all over staggeringly good songs. The debut was full of instant classics, and the song they just put out from their upcoming album, The Rose Explodes, is another beautiful killer. Thayer Sarrano’s on this bill, too. You can’t lose. [Dave Marr]

Programs

9:45 p.m. Saturday, Georgia Theatre The Athens scene has featured an increased electro-pop dimension as of late. Thanks largely to the group’s debut EP, released late last summer, Programs have been garnering a great deal of praise for their ‘80s-inspired sound. Locals Robby Casso and Dillon McCabe make up the core of the dynamic outfit, but the group has recently expanded its live operation to become a five-piece ensemble whose rapturous live performances are more than capable of seducing your heart and limbs. [DM]

Wild of Night

10 p.m. Saturday, Go Bar Wild of Night is ethereally odd and unique, the music melodic and meandering in the best way, with lots of interesting vocal arrangements, cool keyboards and drum machines, as well. I recently saw them mesmerize and confound a large audience at an opening gig at the 40 Watt, and that’s a good sign. Not the most easily digestible music, but worth the effort. [Andrew Rieger]

12 a.m. Saturday, Flicker Theatre & Bar Arena-punks Shehehe have settled into a strong and sustainable groove after a couple years of sonic shifts and membership adjustments. Notably, the group recently recorded an anticipated upcoming sophomore LP with engineer Phillip Cope of Savannah art-metal outfit Kylesa. Midnight on a Saturday is the perfect time to catch the band, which traffics in fistpumping choruses and chunky guitar leads. [GV]

DIP

12 a.m. Saturday, Go Bar DIP is what the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique might have sounded like if Mike D and company had grown up in Georgia and known an additional 25 years’ worth of pop culture mayhem. From core members Parks Miller and Christopher Grimmett (with help from Noah Ray, who makes the beats) comes music that sounds like a perfect parody of a genre that hasn’t been invented yet. The group’s AthFest show will be the usual hyped-up affair, with an added touch: the unveiling of the lifesize Dip Decryptor. [Marshall Yarbrough]

Eureka California

12 a.m. Saturday, Little Kings Shuffle Club Eureka California is a barebones duo with a big sound, a testament to just how much you can get out of a few basic elements. Jake Ward and Marie Uhler play two-minute rock and roll songs. They write verses that are catchier than most bands’ choruses. This is rock music made timeless, the kind of thing you find on a cassette stuck under your car seat and keep in the deck for hours. It’s what Ward is talking about when he sings, “This ain’t no A-side/ But it sure ain’t no B-side”—that eternal place in between. [MY]

The Salt Flats

12:45 a.m. Saturday, Max Local songwriter Eli Truett began The Salt Flats as a recording project nearly three years ago, but it’s only recently that the band has coalesced into a force on the scene. For a taste of what to expect, check out the group’s debut LP, Testing, on Bandcamp. The album finds Truett—whose singing voice is not dissimilar to that of fellow sly sad guy Beck—first paying homage to some key influences and ultimately transcending them.

Still, if you need a reference, fans of The National and that band’s sweeping, stadium-indie ilk will find a lot to like. [GV]

Unofficial AthFest Happenings Happening During AthFest

In

addition to the events that populate the official AthFest calendar, there are a slew of unofficial shows, day parties and other happenin’ shindigs happening this week and through the weekend. In the spirit of service, we bring you five of the most promising.

Saturday, members of Reptar present a psychedelic sound experience under the name L()()K. Pop in and out. Enjoy the analog video projections and maybe a brew or two.

Breakfast of Champions

Saturday, June 21 · Normaltown Hall · 11 a.m.–3 p.m. · FREE! For the second year in a row, Normaltown Hall hosts a booze-laden brunch-style throwdown with live music, free breakfast tacos and, most importantly, free beer—while supplies last, of course. This time around, you can catch sets from New West acts Ruby the Rabbitfoot, White Violet, Christian Lee Hutson and Reptar side project Semicircle. Local buzz band New Madrid DJs in between acts.

Scooterbabe

Left Out Fest

Thursday, June 19 · Little Kings Shuffle Club · 10:30 p.m. · FREE! A thinly veiled (and also kinda tonguein-cheek—we think) middle finger to this publication and the AthFest powers-that-be, the first annual Left Out Fest takes over Little Kings following the Flagpole Athens Music Awards. Curated by low-rent local supergroup Sad Dads, the event features DIY-minded bands “left out” of the main event(s), including dirty-pop purveyors Dude Magnets, impenetrable indie outfit The Hernies, noise-pop band Scooterbabe and shambolic synth-pop group Salsa Chest. In between performances, organizers will hand out awards in categories like “Best Person in Athens” and “Least Essential New Athens Band.”

Extended Release

Thursday, June 19–Saturday, June 21 · 40 Watt Club · 1–4 p.m. · $3–$5 (suggested donation) Jared Collins of garage-pop group k i d s curates this multi-day affair—a benefit to assist local guy Sean Jenkins with medical expenses—where three local bands offer highly conceptual three-hour sets during the hottest part of the day. Thursday features avant-pop outfit Manny and the Deepthroats.

Friday, members of k i d s team up for a theremin-centric project, cleverly titled Therepy.

unATHFest

Saturday, June 21 · Georgia Bar · 2:30 p.m. · FREE! Saturday, take a break from the dogs and babies on Washington and seek solace with some sweet, sad tunes in a dark, airconditioned bar. The Clayton Street mainstay plays host to an all-star selection of regional Americana and country bands Saturday, including Scott Low and the Southern Bouillon, Ken Will Morton Band, The Bearfoot Hookers, Beauty and the Beard and others.

Dirty Athens Day Party & Dirty Athens Sunday

Saturday, June 21 · Caledonia Lounge · 2–8:30 p.m. · FREE! Sunday, June 22 · Hi-Lo Lounge · 6 p.m.–12 a.m. · $5 (or FREE with wristband from Saturday’s party) The Caledonia’s annual day show is the spot to catch some of the hottest and hippest bands in town while you nurse the after-effects of last night’s rager with a few ice-cold PBRs. This year’s lineup includes T. Hardy Morris, Muuy Biien, Shade, The Rodney Kings, Velocirapture, co co ri co, Blue Blood, The Cryptides and many more. Music rotates every 30 minutes between the outdoor and indoor stages. Sunday, the party moves to Normaltown, with performances from Harsh Words, Pinecones, Vincas and more, including the debut of new duo Stormies, featuring members of defunct punks Carrie Nations.

or a couple of star-studded hours each AthFest Thursday, the Classic City stops and gives thanks to the Stipes and Schneiders on high for its world-class scene by handing out big, shiny, impossibly heavy trophies to those deemed most worthy by their democratically minded, technologically able peers.

Or, to put it another way: Y’all voted for your favorite local bands from a shortlist cobbled together by Flagpole and a handful of industry folk, and now you get to find out who won.

Also, a bunch of bands will play.

But not just some bands. Good bands. Exciting bands. Bands like Monsoon, the impossibly young local group that offers up dramatic, hyper-charged jazz-punk, and Hand Sand Hands, the experimental electronic transplant that wows with its heavy, glitched-out atmospherics.

Bands like Jay Gonzalez—indeed, he’s a man and a one-man band—the fella known as the Drive-By Truckers’ secret weapon, who will show off his wonderfully ridiculous “acoustic keytar,� and Family and Friends, the swiftly rising, feel-good folk outfit who will appeal to all the Mumford fanatics out there.

There are even more performers! Like Four Eyes, whose sweetly accented folk-pop has earned it a permanent spot on the list of must-see Athens acts of late. And acts like Blacknerdninja, the MC whose stage presence is only matched by his impeccably assembled flow.

Sprinkled in between these sure-to-be-stellar live sets, a group of local music representatives will take turns announcing the winners of the awards themselves, which will be doled out this year by a local acro-yoga troupe (yes, it’s a thing) and eagerly/indifferently/vulgarly accepted by their new owners.

Theater of the absurd inevitably results.

The whole dang night will be hosted by local musician Thomas Valadez (Future Ape Tapes, Tom Visions, The B-53’s); he, along with esteemed pit band Kenosha Kid, will keep things moving in an attempt to limit the show’s running time to subScorsese levels.

In homage to the Morton Theatre’s vaudeville roots, Editor Pete McCommons has agreed to stand side-stage ready to yank those with more verbose acceptance speeches off with the crook of his cane.

Are you brimming with excitement yet? Thought so. Go ahead and grab your tickets at the Flagpole office (220 Prince Ave.) during business hours, or get ‘em the night of the show at the Morton, though beware: It has been known to sell out in advance. Those tickets are a mere $8 in advance and $10 at the door, or $5 with an AthFest wristband.

Finally, most importantly: Good luck to all the finalists. In Flagpole’s eyes, you’re all winners. (Y’know, except for those who don’t actually win.)

Music News And Gossip It’s AthFest week, y’all! It’s with a rare sense of brash positivity that I want to encourage everyone to stay hydrated, wear some damn sunscreen and have as good a time as humanly possible. If you’re a local, please remember that we’re gonna have a lot of visitors this week, so be a pal and share your town with ‘em. If you’re visiting, please remember that while you’re taking in our arts and music scene—and, let’s be honest, bar scene—we love our visitors, but this is our home. If we promise to treat you like our special guests, we’ll accept your promise to act like good ones. Can you feel the love on this page? Here’s the scoop for this week‌ They’ve Got a Fuzzbox, and They’re Gonna Use It: OK, so for some reason I’ve been made privy to a private stream of the new album

by Cancers, Fatten the Leeches. Although it’s not due to be released until Sept. 16 on the newly formed Kandy Kane Records—run by

The Tough Choices, Rolling Nowhere, The Deslondes and The Banditos. In keeping with the finely curated aspect of the event, attendees will be served a full-on “farm-to-table� dinner at 6 p.m., and camping is allowed and encouraged. Reservations are necessary, though, and if you’d like to sleep in a tipi, that’ll run ya 50 bucks. Tickets for Wildwood Revival are $38 per person for the day and can be found, along with lots of other good information, over at wildwoodrevival.com.

Get Well Soon: As reported on our music blog, Homedrone, a couple of weeks ago, longtime Athens musician Rick Fowler suffered a minor stroke, forcing him to cancel his appearance at AthFest and all gigs for the next several months. He’s currently recovering steadily and has even been posting to social media, reassuring his friends and family that he’s on the steady mend.

Rick Fowler Band Cancers member Lenny Miller—I’ve been able to stream it at will all week long. The guitars and drums are super-loud but buried in the mix, while Ella Sternberg’s breathy vocals hold it all down from on top. It’s full of pop hooks and that almost-sing-along quality that elevated Hole, Lush and Veruca Salt into spokespersons for this sound. Oh, who am I kidding? This record is so ‘90s it just rocked the vote and reelected Clinton. It just drank a bottle of OK Cola. It’s excited about this new sport named snowboarding it’s been hearing so much about. All kidding aside (except I’m not kidding), it’s a really good record, and you can’t wait for it to actually come out. To hear Cancers’ previous work, head to kandykanerecords.bandcamp.com.

50,000 Watts and Almost as Many Venues: WUOG 90.5 FM plans to host the inaugural WorleyFest Oct. 15–19, and it’s a hugely ambitious project. Named after the station’s biggest fan, Richard Worley, the six-committee organizing body has plans for several events surrounding live music, fashion, art, film and comedy. Events are to happen both on and off campus. For anyone who’s been following the news surrounding Georgia State’s student-run station, WRAS 88.5 FM, it’s no secret that college radio needs all the love, support and attention it can get. To this end, I totally applaud WUOG for this effort and can’t wait to see the programming they create for it. For more information, drop a line to worleyfest@wuog.org.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions AthFest and Exes My ex-boyfriend moved out of town, which was a tremendous relief for me, because it meant I don’t have to worry about running into him around Athens. He’s not a bad guy, but the break-up was hard, and it helps me to know I won’t ever see him unexpectedly. He looooooooves AthFest, though, and I’m starting to feel nervous about running into him. I don’t even know if he’s going to be in town, but it seems very possible that he’d be back for it. I would just stay in my house and hide all weekend, but I don’t want to miss one of the best weekends of the year. If I stay home, I’m missing out. If I go out, I’ll just be too nervous and worried about seeing him to have fun. Is there any way for this weekend not to be ruined for me?

Anxious About AthFest

the company of literally (and I am using that word correctly) millions of other parents.

You can also take real comfort in the fact that your daughter is dating this guy now, at 16. Because that means that they will almost certainly not be dating when she’s in college, or after.

So if you can endure this now, he’ll be gone soon enough. What you must not do, though, is tell her you can’t stand him and try to keep them apart. That course of action has a 100 percent chance of making her mad at you and determined to date him.

What you can do is set some boundaries for them as you wait this out. Even if she were dating a wonderful guy, teenagers need boundaries. You’re teaching her how to be an adult and, right now, she’s learning how to balance dating with school, friends, sports and her own independent life. I knew a girl whose parents had a rule about how often she could see her boyfriend. They weren’t allowed to see each other two days in a row. So, if they wanted to go out on Friday night, they had to do something separately on Thursday and Saturday night. It provided some limits, but with flexibility and an element of control for the teenagers.

You can also insist that part of the time your daughter spends with her bf is also spent with your whole family— dinner at your house, watching her sister’s soccer game or something to that effect. That allows you and your husband a chance to model the standard of behavior you expect from both of them.

The boyfriend should be able to carry on a conversation with you. It also lets them know that the two of you are paying attention to them; they’re not living in their own little world. And, of course, it gives you a chance to keep an eye on this boy. Keep your friends close, right?

Lee Gatlin

Don’t stay in your house, Anxious. If you do that, you’ll miss the most important opportunity of all: the chance for your xbf to see you out with friends, having fun, looking great and not even noticing him. [And maybe like five guys are trying to talk to you when your ex happens by. Do other people fantasize about that happening, or is it just me?]

The worst part right now is the notknowing. Is he in town? Where will he be? Will he be with a girl? And on and on. It’s better to know the worst than to be imagining and wondering. Enlist a friend to do some Facebook research and see if there’s any suggestion that he’ll be around this weekend. If that doesn’t yield conclusive results, you could email him and ask if he’ll be in town for the weekend under the guise of inviting him out for coffee. Of course, in that case, you might end up having to get coffee with him.

If you find out that he’ll be here, or you can’t tell, prepare to go out and Two days ago I saw my friend “Katy’s” have fun.

Katy wants the boyfriend she thinks she has, and you are My 16-year-old daughter is about to be a junior in high preparing to be the person who punctures her image of their school. She’s a good student, plays two sports and has a nice relationship. I think that’s a mistake, and not your role as her group of friends.

And since it’s summer, they have lots of time to Even if he did cheat on her, it’s not your job to tell her. spend together. My husband and I are in disagreement about I know—she’s your friend.
