FROM OUR READERS JORDAN ENDORSES LINK Melissa is the right person for Athens-Clarke County commissioner—informed, diligent, principled, energetic, experienced in politics and passionate about public issues. She is running for the right reason—to serve the public interest, not just the bureaucrats and establishment elite.

In fact, I compare Melissa to myself when I first ran for commissioner as a disruptive gadfly who had just sued the ACC government over a zoning issue and the Clarke County Board of Education over a Georgia Environmental Policy Act violation in consecutive years. Even Flagpole and Pete McCommons were equivocal about my suitability, labeling me “edgy;� the BannerHerald endorsed the 14-year establishment incumbent to whom I was a combative “hippie,� and to most I was unelectable.

But to those who took the time to know me, they understood my sincerity and commitment to hard work and public service. That is the opportunity I hope the District 3 electorate will grant Melissa, much to the betterment of Athens. We desperately need the initiative, intelligence and independence she will bring to the ACC Commission.

the community informed and serving as a watchdog for citizens’ interests. I recognize and applaud all the contributions she has made and continues to make, and—while at times I may wish she were a bit less inclined to invite outrage—I am grateful to her for saying many things that deserve to be said, and I agree with her conclusions much more often than not.

The “however�—here it comes—is that I strongly believe that Melissa is most influential and effective in the role of activist/agitator/herald/rabble-rouser/etc. from the sidelines, and that her positive influence would only be diminished if she’s restricted by having to fit the relatively confining role of commissioner. For that job, my choice is Rachel.

LINK REPRESENTS ALL CITIZENS

I’d like to officially pledge my support and endorsement for Melissa Link, who is both a dear friend and a professional colleague of mine. I would like to talk only about Melissa and why I support her, and refrain from negative commentary about her opponent, whom I also know and respect.

I’ve lived in Athens for about 14 years now, and I met Melissa probably a year after I moved here. Since then, Melissa and I have worked together on many community projects, and I’ve always felt that she acted with the overall best interest of our community, the state and truly the nation at heart.

Pete’s Cheat Sheet® It won’t take Pete long to cheat on this one, and it surely won’t take you long to vote in the July 22 runoff election. If you’re voting Democratic, and you’re not in District 3, you’ll have only the state school superintendent race on your ballot.

They should just let us text this one in.

Pete is still for Valarie Wilson in that race, the Decatur woman with considerable large-organization management experience and solid school board credentials, with an understanding of and commitment to the importance of our classroom teachers.

If you’re voting Republican, the assumption here is that you’re not interested in Pete’s opinion, but lack of interest has never stopped him from expressing it, anyway. You guys are such ideologues these days that you’re all caught up in trying to figure out who is the most conservative and the most likely to dismantle our government as we know it and take us back to the beloved 19th Century—without Social Security, Medicare, paved roads, income taxes, penicillin or sliced bread.

In your 10th Congressional District runoff, the clear choice for you is Jody Hice. He will do all of the above and stamp out that nasty sexual intercourse, too. In your U.S. Senate runoff, you’re calibrating to see whether Kingston or Perdue is further to the right. Pete just hopes you’ll pick the one less likely to beat that true champion of Georgia, that paragon of the people, Michelle Nunn, in November.

In your Republican state school superintendent runoff, Pete assumes you’ll all vote against Mike Buck, since he supports Common Core.

So that brings us to our local Commission District 3 runoff between Rachel Watkins and Melissa Link, and you can stop reading, unless you vote in District 3.

But that’s really the interesting thing about this race: It’s a district election with This is your ballot if you’re a Democrat in strong implications District 3 (and who isn’t?). for all of AthensClarke County. This runoff highlights the dual role all commissioners play: They represent their individual districts, but they also govern the city as a whole. So, the voters in District 3 will be electing somebody who will keep an eye on their potholes, but they’ll also be influencing the very structure of our local government.

Pete, who does not live in District 3 (but works across the street from it), is still for Melissa Link in this race. Her detractors say she is too aggressive, sometimes on the basis of misinformation, and that’s true. It is up to the voters of District 3 to decide whether they want a commissioner who will raise hell about potholes, even if she’s got the wrong corner.

But the larger truth, and the one that concerns our whole town, is that Melissa has proven to everyone consistently over the years, long before she was running for office, that she is passionately concerned about the civic health of Athens and willing to do her part to work for the betterment of our town.

She has moreover shown a keen recognition that District 3 still contains a large African-American enclave, and she has shown herself dedicated to being the voice of that part of the district as well as the more affluent Boulevard and Cobbham.

And then, of course, there is the sad truth that the AthensClarke County Commission is headed by a mayor who has for four years discouraged most efforts to confront problems of growth, development, transportation, poverty, etc. so that the commission has fallen into a do-nothing lethargy, with only a few of its members still trying to get something done. Those members, and our community, desperately need Melissa Link on the commission to help get it working for Athens again. She’s aggressive, but she’s also smart, and she’s experienced and knows how this government works.

Melissa Link is exactly the right person for this job at this time.

That’s a reference to Republican Sen. Thad Cochran turning out black Democrats to beat tea party challenger Chris McDaniel. Cochran’s tactic worked, but it outraged tea partiers to such an extent that it makes more sense for Hice to have sent those letters so he could attack Collins than for Collins to try to drum up Democratic votes. And Hice—who’s stooped to attacking Collins’ father Mac, a former congressman—seems desperate enough to pull such a stunt.

According to campaign finance disclosures filed last week, Mayor Nancy Denson spent nearly $90,000 to win re-election— 10th Shenanigans: Much has been made lately of Republican 10th Congressional District candidate Mike Collins’ purported more than $10 per vote.

Denson all but stopped fundraising after March, in keeping effort to win Democratic votes in the July 22 runoff with Jody Hice. Tim Bryant addressed it on his 1340 AM radio show last with campaign manager Houston Gaines’ statement that her massive early haul was intended to scare away any viable chalweek, and Erick Erickson of the influential conservative blog lengers. She raised just $8,575 in cash in April and May, giving redstate.com has attacked Collins for it as well. her a total of $93,509. Notable contributors included the Georgia Association of Realtors, which kicked in $1,000, and Georgia Theatre owner Wilmot Greene, who donated $500 worth of advertising.

Denson spent all but $5,700 of her war chest, the majority of it in the last six weeks of the campaign. The $67,000 she spent between Apr. 1–May 20 included about $26,000 on direct mail, $24,000 on radio advertising and $4,000 on billboard rental.

Gaines was awarded a $2,000 bonus.

Challenger Tim Denson nearly matched Nancy dollar-for-dollar in April and May, raising $6,907 for the period, but ended up with a mere $17,108 to spend, due to lackluster fundraising earlier in the campaign.

His backers included the 40 Watt Club and R.E.M.’s Mike Mills.

The fundraising gap meant Tim was able to spend just a sixth of what Nancy did on advertising—radio and cable ads, yard signs and campaign literature—in the home stretch. Denson won 60 percent of 13,152 votes cast May 20.

Mayor Nancy “Mucho Dinero” Denson checks the stock market election results.

An Auditor By Any Other Name: The Athens-Clarke County Commission’s Audit Committee and newly appointed interim auditor Steve Martin met Thursday, July 10, to start completely revamping the office—including possibly even changing the name.

Auditors generally deal with accounting, but in AthensClarke County, the auditor is mainly an independent set of eyes looking at operational issues and efficiency: should positions be cut, added or reorganized, procedures changed, etc.

Commissioners think the name is misleading.

“You hear that in the paper, and you think there’s something illicit going on, some kind of financial malfeasance or something,” Commissioner Jared Bailey said.

The Audit Committee is going to keep a tighter leash on Martin than on former auditor John Wolfe, asking Martin for regular updates on his progress, and also giving him more guidance on what, specifically, they want.

The committee, which is set to meet again next week, has not decided what Martin should tackle.

The Leisure Services Department, which Denson and commissioners have said would be the likely first target, was deemed too big to bite off in one piece.

But looking into one aspect of Leisure Services, such as the Lyndon House Arts Center or summer camps, remains a possibility. So are customer service in the Planning, Building Permits and Inspections and Transportation and Public Works departments (suggested by Commissioner Kelly Girtz) and the way the mayor and commission appoint members to various boards and authorities (suggested by Commissioner Kathy Hoard).

Downtown Boundaries: The Athens Downtown Development Authority is starting what is likely to be a two-year process of winning approval from the state legislature to expand its boundaries. Currently, areas many people would consider downtown, such as the Bottleworks and the Armstrong & Dobbs tract, are not within the ADDA’s borders.

The ADDA markets downtown businesses, regulates parking and facilitates grants and loans through state and national Main Street programs and various foundations. So, there are advantages for businesses, but those businesses must also pay an additional 1 mill property tax, or $40 per $100,000 of value annually. (The tax doesn’t apply to owner-occupied residences.)

capitol impact The End Is in Sight For those who have endured Georgia’s longest runoff election ever, the July 22 finish line is finally coming into view. Voters and candidates are learning there is a big difference between four weeks, which was how long these campaigns used to last, and nine weeks, the runoff duration ordered by federal Judge Steve Jones to give overseas voters more time to mail in their ballots.

The biggest race on the ballot is the Senate Republican runoff between Rep. Jack Kingston and business executive David Perdue. In the first weeks after the May 20 primary, Kingston appeared to have the momentum going his way. He secured endorsements from primary also-rans Karen Handel and Phil Gingrey, and the polls suggested he had a double-digit advantage over Perdue.

If this were the old days where runoff campaigns lasted three or four weeks, Kingston probably would have won easily over Perdue. A nine-week campaign, however, provides time for the story line to change. The Atlanta newspapers dug up a story about Kingston receiving more than $80,000 in contributions from a Palestinian businessman with a criminal record who the federal government has been trying for several years to deport. Kingston’s advisors returned the questionable donations, but recent polls show that the campaign’s momentum may have shifted.

In a survey commissioned by Fox 5 Atlanta, Kingston held a slender 42–41 percent advantage over Perdue.

Questionable contributions also put a cloud over the campaign of Democratic Senate nominee Michelle Nunn, who is not in a runoff. A conservative website posted an article detailing the attendance of a convicted felon and former Black Panther leader named Virtual Murrell at a recent Washington fundraiser for Nunn. The Nunn campaign said it was unaware of Murrell’s background and returned the donation.

There is another statewide race on the runoff ballot that has been overlooked by the media but presents starkly differing choices— the election of a state school superintendent.

On the Republican side, the runoff is between Mike Buck, a Floyd County educator who has served as a deputy state superintendent under current Superintendent John Barge, and Richard Woods, a Tift County educator who ran unsuccessfully for this job in 2010.

Buck supports the Common Core curriculum standards that have been authorized by the state Board of Education and are now reflected in Georgia’s public schools’ curriculum. Woods opposes the Common Core standards, as do a large number of Republican conservatives who contend that the standards are part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration to take over the control of local schools.

Since these standards were originally the idea of Sonny Perdue and other Republican governors, that’s a bit of a stretch, but it has become an issue in this race.

In the Democratic primary for state superintendent, the runoff choice is between Valarie Wilson, a former member of the Decatur city school board, and state Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan (D-Austell).

Morgan and Wilson both support the Common Core standards, but they differ on another major issue: traditional public schools versus charter schools. Wilson notes that a majority of Georgia’s students attend traditional public schools, which have been seriously affected over the past decade by reductions in state formula funding that total nearly $8 billion.

Morgan is a staunch supporter of charter schools and supports the diversion of tax funds away from traditional schools and into the coffers of charter schools, many of which are operated for a profit by out-of-state corporations. Charter school organizations have contributed heavily to Morgan’s campaign.

Schools and Choices

wo things have been on my mind about schools during the summer break: the local school board’s likely election of becoming a “charter system” and the upcoming runoff for state school superintendent.

I think it is probably fine for the Clarke County School District to become a charter district, the best of the four choices allowed by the state, and I have only two words to stress on the Democratic primary runoff: Valarie Wilson. And a few more, actually: Vote July 22 or before.

A few years ago, I decided to give up politics, since politicians often disappoint, and many politicians seem to have only one issue once they get elected—staying in office.

So all the time and effort and money I used to give to political campaigns, I decided to devote to the single most important issue I care about—improving and effective public schools. If we don’t get that part right— educating our children—then what kind of society can we really expect in the future?

Well, it did not take me long to realize that if you care about education—the teaching and learning that goes on in the classroom— then you’d better pay attention to politics. I began trying to connect the dots and to figure out the often massive disconnect between policies passed by politicians in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., and the ways our kids’ schools operate.

dedicated to their calling of teaching, who are supported by and learn from each other, who teach in reasonably-sized classrooms and are in a school community that is sufficientlyresourced with adequate facilities and technology, with a rich and varied curriculum, including arts and physical education, and are part of an involved and engaged community of parents and others who support the mission of the school.

While I recognize that we are not there yet, I think it is important to discern what level of government—local, state or national—is holding us back and making our public schools’ job more difficult every day.

Charter Schools, Charter Districts Given the state and federal situation, how are our own local schools doing? Pretty well, I would say. Test scores, regardless of what you or I might think of them, or how they are overdone or misused, are holding pretty steady in our district, and in some schools are improving. This is especially impressive when one considers the challenges of our demographically diverse school community.

Our district has worked effectively with the University of Georgia on all kinds of initiatives to improve student outcomes, and the work is paying off with the professional development collaborative and the Experience UGA program.

Family Connection/Communities in Schools does vital work at the neighborhood and school level, augmenting and improving life prospects for less advantaged children and addressing their needs outside of school.

Our district is a leader in using technology in new and exciting ways to enhance the learning process, while keeping in mind that

Vote Valarie Wilson

The ‘Reform’ Scam I discovered that what passes as “education reform” is often just a combination of policies that diminish and weaken public schools; boost heavily-marketed “alternatives” like charter schools and voucher programs; revolve around standardized testing with high stakes attached; and then misuse the results of those tests. These policies are taking their toll on morale among our best and most effective teachers, and the people pushing these policies rarely have a dog in the fight. It doesn’t really affect them personally—it’s just politics to them.

I support groups and individuals, including politicians, who have the same goal I do: good schools for all kids. That sounds simple, but it’s tough to achieve. Schools are complex organisms and have a hard job, given the realities many of their students face when they leave the school grounds.

Schools cannot be improved with smoke and mirrors and bumper-sticker solutions.

“School choice” surely sounds good, and the word “charter” seems to have almost magical connotations to some people. But a good school—public, private or hybrid—shares a few things in common: great teachers who are

The flexibility on offer will unfortunately not extend to letting Clarke County cut down on the absurd amount of testing, which is about to get worse under the new teacherevaluation scheme. The testing is state-controlled and not something local districts can opt out of, regrettably.

My view of this is pretty simple: With the crazy-quilt education policies being handed down to the local districts by the state and federal governments, the more flexibility we can get at the local level, the better. And if Lanoue and his board have decided that a charter system is the way to go, joining districts like Hall County, Decatur City, Morgan County and others, then that’s good enough for me based on everything I know so far.

It is important to note that the choice our district seems poised to make is not “a system of charter schools,” which would mandate far more governance at the school level and would raise significant equity issues in a district like ours. The schools in a charter system make a lot more operational decisions at the school level, which is already true in our system in the past few years. So this seems like a prudent move to me, and certainly the best choice of the ones being offered by the state. It does not seem like an open invitation to for-profit charter chain companies. Quite the contrary—it seems like our best hope of retaining and strengthening a viable local district even in these hostile times.

Valarie Wilson In my view, the test-driven reforms that started under President George W. Bush but have accelerated under President Barack Obama are most responsible for the current state of play. (Of all the issues, why do the Democrats and Republicans have to pick this one to agree on, and get it so wrong?)

Under Race To the Top, states, including Georgia, agreed to make 50 percent of teachers’ job evaluations be their students’ progress on standardized tests, and the new rules kick in next month, even for subjects like art, music and physical education that don’t really lend themselves to standardized tests. But next school year, state-mandated multiplechoice tests for those subjects will be given at the beginning and end of the year, for one purpose—to evaluate whether art and music teachers are doing their jobs well enough. I know that sounds nuts, and it is, but I am not making it up—it is Georgia law, and it is just an example of the nonsense being pushed by “reformers.”

the educators are even more important than the machines in terms of using technology in teaching and learning.

Our superintendent, Phil Lanoue, is focused on providing the best instruction possible to every child in every school, and he is open to suggestions of how to do that better. His background as a teacher and a principal prepared him well for what is likely the toughest job in town. But he still has to operate under the policy choices made by our political leadership in Georgia and Washington, D.C. Under state law, every school district in the state has to decide between several options as to what type of system they will become. The local administrators and board have decided to pursue the option of a “charter system,” in which they will form an agreement with the state, be exempted from some state requirements, gain some financial advantages and still be responsible for delivering on stated achievement goals that are measured over time.

As for the runoff for state school superintendent, I strongly support Valarie Wilson, a Decatur parent and former school board member who also has statewide experience as chairwoman of the Georgia School Boards Association. She brings an engaged parent’s perspective, believes in the mission of our public schools and supports the teachers and students who teach and learn there every day. She will work to protect and advance our schools, and she does not subscribe to the false cures and easy-sounding fixes offered by the reform crowd.

Wilson knows what it takes and will do everything within her power to make all Georgia schools effective for every child. She will be a fierce advocate for our teachers at a time when they need it the most. And she will do so as a parent, not as a politician taking the careerist’s view.

I look forward to a time when our state leaders are as focused as our local teachers and administrators on the promise of public education: Each child prepared for life. Wilson would be a great start on that path, and depending on how the “top of the ticket” does in November, she just might have a chance to win the general election.

Now imagine if she served under a governor who shared her values, and so many Georgians’ values, on the importance and urgency of strong and healthy public schools. But that’s another column.

Election Season Rolls On ake a deep breath. It’ll all be over soon.

While voters will have to skate down to the polls one last time in November for state and federal elections, the finish line for local races is within sight. There’s just one more thing to knock out of the way: The Athens-Clarke County Commission District 3 race between Rachel Watkins and Melissa Link.

This race has become particularly divisive in the cheek-to-jowl district (Rocksprings, the Hancock Corridor, Cobbham, Boulevard and part of Normaltown). Link is cast as someone who’ll kick open the doors of government to let the light in or out of anger because someone disagreed with her. Watkins is nice, everyone agrees… maybe too nice.

Neither candidate, of course, should be boiled down to a stereotype. Flagpole quizzed both a little bit about personalities—but mostly about the real issues that are important to our readers.

you can never vote again. The fact of the matter is, once you pay your fines, you can vote again. I feel like if we can start educating folks and make a concerted effort to reach out to them, whether it’s through their water bill, or ads on buses, or through the probation office, letting folks know that, yes, you can vote and get registered, and also, let them know when the election is coming up. A lot of folks don’t know.

I walk through Cobbham and Boulevard, and we have nice new crosswalks, nice new ADA accessible ramps to get from one side to the other. I walk through other neighborhoods, and there are no sidewalks and crum-

of this fear or idea that we have it so good here, why bother changing? Just do it, and maybe we can move onto the next street and make things more walkable and safer. Just do it. It’s not rocket science.

RW: I don’t have a preferred solution. The HAWK signal is too expensive, and it’s confusing, so there’d be a big education issue.

I don’t know what the super solution is, but I know that to get something done on Prince Avenue, you’ve got to have compromise. Other commissioners have issues in their districts, and you gotta work together.

So many people, when we talk about the government, think compromise is a dirty word.

Joshua L. Jones

Flagpole Magazine: With this being a district historically represented by an African American, what are you doing to reach out to that community?

Melissa Link: We knew what was going to happen two years ago when [the state legislature] redistricted.

We knew the high turnout at Chase Street in primarily white, affluent neighborhoods was going to cancel out African American influence, which is part of the reason why I decided to jump in the race, because I felt like my first priority was to reach out to that community and be sure I can represent them.

And so, I just hit the streets.

That’s been the most fun of this campaign—just hanging out with everyday folks talking about issues that affect their lives.

Rachel Watkins speaks to voters before an April candidate forum.

Rachel Watkins: I’ve had an interesting experience talking to different African Americans bling curbs. It’s obvious, the disparity in our of different generations. It’s unfortunate communities. that there’s not an African American in the RW: The digital divide creates a whole race. However, we don’t have a lot of African different world. When we talk about the Americans in our government. I feel like we Boulevard listserv, the Cobbham listserv, there have to grow that leadership.

That’s just two totally different I feel like it’s important for someone who’s things. The person who wins this race has got involved, like me, to start growing leaders so to deal with huge, different concerns. we have more African Americans on the commission. It’s embarrassing!

So many people are frustrated on the federal level, nothing’s happening, and that can’t be happening here.

I think what the people of D3 want is someone they can trust, someone whose morals and values are the same as theirs, and someone who will have civil discourse with other commissioners. Compromise isn’t a bad thing. Being nice isn’t a bad thing.

I’ve had a lot of people angered at the whole “nice” thing because it seems sexist.

Would you be saying that about a man, you know? That’s an interesting point. I don’t think I’ve heard of a man politician being called too nice. And Melissa has said the same thing—people call her too harsh. I don’t think they’d say that about a man. So I think, no wonder you want to put us on the cover with the boxing gloves, because there are a lot of gender issues going on.

FP: Rachel, is there an example of an issue where you think you could have compromised?

RW: I don’t know, and you don’t know, the back story of what goes on. But after Selig won, we had that time, and one would think something would have happened. The planning commission wanted to meet about that

[revisiting downtown design guidelines], and that never happened. That’s frustrating, and I think I would have said, “Come on, guys.”

Everybody talks about how great Greenville is, and that was 30 years in the making. I can’t think about five years down the road, I have to think about 30 years down the road.

FP: How do you feel about the way the new auditor was hired?

ML: If the mayor wanted to hire an interim auditor, why didn’t she do it a year ago? Steve Martin was sitting in retirement then. We could have been conducting a search for a real auditor this whole time. I don’t understand what the excuse is. Maybe they wanted to save the auditor’s salary for a year—they did that with the environmental coordinator.

Considering the lack of public input, that’s a real concern in this community.

More and more folks feel like decisions are being made behind closed doors.

And these boards and commissions: The economic development task force, a lot of their recommendations weren’t followed. The rail-trail committee wasn’t consulted during the Selig debate.

I saw a notice for this [Industrial Development Authority] meeting that was giving tax breaks for this hotel and wondered if this was a meeting I ought to go to. I asked for a copy of the agenda and never heard back.

I shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to find out what these citizens committees are discussing.

We should definitely do more to publicize these meetings. We have the [Neighborhood Notification Initiative], but not a lot of folks know what NNI is.

Maybe make it more prominent on the website. The ACC website is kind of bland and hard to navigate.

RW: I wish it hadn’t taken so long. It is one of Mayor Denson’s privileges to do it the way she did. But I want to see a national search. There’s no reason there shouldn’t be a national search. There has to be a national search.

Leisure Services—I wish we could rename it. I hate it when people refer to it as “the playground.” So many people are served by Leisure Services that don’t get services otherwise. I think that’s a huge untapped population that could have better services. I want to have more diverse services. I want to have a coding academy for girls. I want it to enrich people’s lives more than it does.

I’ve heard complaints about how, when a class is full, they haven’t hired another teacher. I’ve heard frustration with the general running of Leisure Services.

There are parks and rec departments that are run really, really, well, and to me, with our degree of poverty, our parks and rec department has a greater responsibility.

ML: I sat on the practicum committee for the student who took on College Square as part of the project, and College Square was not included at all. The fact that College Square was not included is very concerning, considering that during the public hearings, College Square was talked about most of all. I understand the traffic flow is not conducive to shutting it down, but there are other options for a town square, or maybe look at other parts of downtown for a proper town square.

We don’t have a public space to gather, whether it’s for a festival, a protest, a vigil, whatever.

I would prioritize a public gathering space.

I know Jack [Crowley] and his crew looked at City Hall and the parking lots behind there.

I wish they’d looked at College Avenue in front of City Hall, because that’s an area with not a lot of traffic or a lot of parking spaces.

It would be nice to see that become a real, proper town square in front of our beautiful City Hall.

And God knows we need stuff for people who aren’t ready to party downtown. People have kids, older folks. A place to hang out, have a picnic, maybe a splash pad and a bandshell. A space the whole public can enjoy,

ML: Our downtown defines us in so many ways. It’s our town center. It’s what people think of when they think of Athens.

When I first moved to Athens, which was 21 years ago now, I thought it was the funky, diverse environment. It’s really not that anymore. That’s kind of what put us on the map.

We’re losing our grasp on who we are. It’s not just who we think we are; it’s who the world thinks we are.

I really think we need to look for a downtown master plan that’s going to be open to diverse businesses with diverse clientele. Sure, that will include students, but why not look at some townhomes for families, retirees, young professionals, not just towers of student condos? We’re more than just a college town.

RW: I don’t know if we can reverse it.

Student housing’s not going away. And it’s not like all the students are going to walk, although they should.

Look at a game day. The adventurous people may get to The Grit or to Avid. They may get that far down. But it’s true, it feels like maybe Normaltown is booming to avoid the students. We wouldn’t be who we are without the students, but it is true that it’s a doubleedged sword.

What people want is the unusual and the quirky, and I think we have a lot of that, but I think we need to make opening a small

Joshua L. Jones

Melissa Link awaits election results May 20. so it’s not just a rowdy fraternity party every single night.

RW: I do feel like it’s a mélange. It all can’t be done. We want a diverse community; we want a walkable community.

Athens is on all these retirement lists.

Weekly, I have people call me at the Convention and Visitors Bureau and ask me, “Where can I live?” Given the fact that I like a walkable neighborhood, I don’t have many options to tell them.

I want to see Ryan Moore’s office [the ACC Economic Development Department] promote more small businesses, because that’s what gives us our charm. I understand Five Guys being downtown. I like having The Grill right there. It doesn’t seem like The Grill’s suffering too bad because of Five Guys, but you’ve got to have a mix. I’m not saying don’t do bigbox. There’s an Urban Outfitters in downtown Asheville, so I’m not freaked out the UGA Bulldog [apparel] place is leaving.

I do PR and marketing. I want to see the city of Athens use all the cool and eclectic stuff to bring people here. I send people to Barber and Tracy Street. I think our vision of downtown has got to change.

business easier. I don’t think we need to get bogged down in how many parking spaces you have to have, especially if you know it’s going to be a walkable business, because what’s going to employ people are small businesses.

That’s something that’s near and dear to my heart.

My campaign has spent every single dime in the district and the city and the county. That’s really important to me. And I’ve spent more money on certain things, for example yard signs. [Editor’s note: Link bought campaign materials from a South Carolina print shop. She said she chose the shop because the United Food and Commercial Workers union, which endorsed her, recommended it as a union shop.]

I think you have to put your money where your mouth is. Working for an independent bookshop—where the books may cost more than [Amazon]—it’s worth it, because you’re putting money back into the local economy.

FP: It feels like we’re ceding downtown to the students and tourists and the grownups are staying in Five Points and Normaltown.

FP: Melissa, your opponents are saying you’ve made too many enemies and ostracized yourself. How do you respond to that?

Jody Hice campaigns at a June meeting of Athens Republicans.

ML: As an activist, it’s kind of your job to be a little rowdy and use strong language because you don’t have any power. When you’re within the power structure, you can sit back and talk sweet and get work done. When you’re an activist, it’s your job to raise awareness, and oftentimes you’re dismissed by the power structure.

I can play both roles.

I’ve sat on enough boards and commissions that I can do that, too. I feel like if I get behind the rail, I wouldn’t have to scream and yell. I’m just ready to get some work done. I want to solve some problems and work with folks to find the palatable compromise. It feels like most compromise is made on behalf of a vocal, moneyed minority, rather than the majority of everyday people.

FP: Are you going to be able to work with Mayor Denson and the people who supported her?

ML: I hope to. I’m eager to have a real conversation about what our priorities are and what the issues are. I enjoy open conversations, even if they’re difficult and embarrassing. I feel like that’s a reason we’re not moving forward: We’re afraid to have these conversations. It’s not polite to talk about poverty. It’s not polite to talk about things we disagree about. But

we’re not going to get beyond that and solve our problems if we can’t talk about them. It’s not about nodding and smiling and pretending everything’s OK.

The 10th District In addition to District 3 commissioner, Athens voters will be choosing nominees for Congress, U.S. senator and state school superintendent.

Democrat Ken Dious, an Athens lawyer and civil rights activist, awaits the winner of the 10th Congressional District Republican primary, but for all intents and purposes, the election will be decided Tuesday. (Rep. Paul Broun left the seat open in a failed bid for U.S. Senate.) The district—which stretches from Gwinnett County to Augusta and Athens to Milledgeville—leans heavily conservative.

Whichever Republican emerges is very likely to win in a landslide in November.

Two men survived a seven-person GOP primary in May: radio preacher Jody Hice of Walton County and trucking company owner Mike Collins of Jackson.

Hice, who one could say is running as “Paul Broun Jr. Jr.,” previously ran for Congress to succeed FairTax founder John Linder in 2010, losing to Rep. Rob Woodall. He has gained national notoriety in recent weeks as reporters have dug into his past statements about women’s rights, Islam and a host of other topics.

A decade ago, Hice convinced the Barrow County Commission to post the Ten Commandments in the county courthouse, leading to an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit that put taxpayers on the hook for a six-figure legal bill. He also challenged federal Joshua L. Jones

movie dope drew’s reviews AMERICA (PG-13) A movie so singularly titled should probably be a

 little more focused. But what starts as a weakly tolerable, disingenu-

ously patriotic documentary eventually shows its true intolerant colors when co-writer-co-director-star-felon Dinesh D’Souza renews his anti-Obama screed, last seen on screen in 2012’s 2016: Obama’s America. Attempting to debunk the liberal American-shame movement led by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn (it’s partially framed as a belated answer to his People’s History of the United States) and Michael Moore, D’Souza espouses the greatness of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Madam C. J. Walker and more in poorly dramatized reenactments.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13) First Godzilla, then Edge of Tomorrow and Snowpiercer: summer 2014 has been especially generous for sci-fi fans. Now Dawn of the Planet of the Apes arrives to live up to and exceed our expectations about how good a movie about damn, dirty apes can be. (And we can still anticipate Guardians of the Galaxy and Lucy.) In the eighth installment of the venerable franchise, apes have yet to completely take over the planet. A band of humans survived the Simian Flu and struggle to rebuild in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Caesar (motion-capture king Andy Serkis, giving another Oscar-worthy performance) has created a community in the forests outside the city. Soon man and beast will clash, thanks to the machinations of evil ape Koba (Toby Kebbell).

DELIVER US FROM EVIL (R) To date, Scott Derrickson’s weakest feature is his stolid remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Deliver Us from Evil is more fun than Derrickson’s sci-fi dud, but it’s no Sinister or Exorcism of Emily Rose. Based on… excuse me… inspired by the true accounts of New York police sergeant Ralph Sarchie (convincingly portrayed onscreen by Eric Bana), the film struggles to decide if it is a demonic possession flick, a cop thriller with delusions of Se7en or a haunted house chiller.

Ultimately, it decides to be The Exorcist, climaxing with Sarchie and his partner priest, Mendoza (Edgar Ramirez), performing an exorcism right there in the police station.

SNOWPIERCER (R) If you’ve seen any of Bong Joon Ho’s excellent features, you should not be surprised at the raves his latest—a sci-fi epic, no less—has been getting. Released in the heat of summer, competing with Hollywood’s biggest, loudest blockbusters, Snowpiercer stands out as that scarce genre film one expects people to cite as a must-see in years to come. A botched attempt to stop global warming kills off all life on Earth except for the last remnants of humanity aboard a globetrotting super train.

But people are people, so they remain stratified by class, leading to a revolution led by gruff Curtis (Chris Evans), his second, Edgar (Jamie Bell), and his mentor, Gilliam (John Hurt). Seeking to reach the eternal engine, manned by the legendary Wilford (Ed Harris), Chris and his army journey through the increasingly lively, inventive cars, battling Wilford’s emissary, Mason (Tilda Swinton, a caricaturish standout in bad teeth and glasses), and soldiers.

I ORIGINS (R) Indie darling Brit Marling reunites with her Another Earth filmmaker, Mike Cahill, as opposed to her The East and Sound of My Voice collaborator Zal Batmanglij. In her latest, Marling costars with Michael

also playing ALIVE INSIDE This documentary focuses on social worker Dan Cohen, who founded the nonprofit Music & Memory. The organization’s mission is to fight for those suffering from memory loss by using music. Unfortunately, the healthcare system is not exactly supportive of this therapy. For his first feature documentary, Michael RossatoBennett won Leonardo’s Horse from the Milan International Film Festival and the Audience Award for Documentary from Sundance, where it was also nominated for the Grand Jury Prize.

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. The action-packed finale jams three supervillains into what can’t be more than 20 minutes. Make sure you wake up for it.

AND SO IT GOES (PG-13) Does every aging Hollywood star have to make a “taking care of the grandchild for which they are unprepared to care movie?” Michael Douglas stars as a self-centered, wealthy dude who asks his age-appropriate neighbor, naturally

played by Diane Keaton, to help him care for the granddaughter he never knew existed.

BEGIN AGAIN (R) Kiera Knightley and Mark Ruffalo star in Once, writer-director John Carney’s latest film. Gretta (Knightley) and Dave (Adam Levine of Maroon 5) head to New York City after Dave lands a record deal. Gretta winds up playing music on the street after Dave cheats on her, and then meets Dan (Ruffalo), a down-and-out music exec looking for a way back in.

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.

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.

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

Silent Harpo and talkative Chico play Sylvanian spies; Zeppo plays Firefly’s personal assistant. AFI placed the film at 85 on its “100 Years… 100 Movies” list and at five on its “100 Years… 100 Laughs” list. (Ciné) EARTH TO ECHO (PG) Found footage is not the cinematic dead end many believe it to be, but the gambit needs a narrative purpose to be used.

The trailers for Earth to Echo, an E.T.looking wannabe that brings to mind 1988’s Mac and Me, betray no such narrative need for the found footage frame. A group of kids could help this alien named Echo return home without filming every second of it. The familyfriendly sci-fi flick is the first feature from director Dave Green.

EDGE OF TOMORROW (PG-13) Exo-suited Tom Cruise continuously kills the same generic aliens over and over in this charmingly funny, engagingly smart, sci-fi take on Groundhog Day. 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.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (PG-13) 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

Pitt (recently seen as Mason Verger on NBC’s stellar “Hannibal”) as a molecular biologist and partner who make a discovery about the human eye that will change the scientific and spiritual world. The film marked Cahill’s second winner of Sundance’s Alfred P. Sloane Prize, which honor cinematic science.

JERSEY BOYS (R) Naturally, Jersey Boys is about the music. When four young men, including angel voiced Frankie Valli (Tony winner John Lloyd Young) from the wrong side of the Jersey turnpike come together, the result is the melodic harmonies of the Four Seasons. The struggles that precede and are caused by the fame come with the musical biopic territory.

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.

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.

MOOD INDIGO Michel Gondry survived The Green Hornet and returned to France for this whimsical French romantic fantasy. A wealthy

bachelor (Romain Duris), who invented a pianocktail (it’s a piano that makes cocktails; duh) seeks a cure for his lover, Claire (Audrey Tautou), who suffers from a strange disease where a flower grows in her lungs.

NATIVE LAND 1942. As part of its Picturing America Film Series, the Georgia Museum of Art presents a screening of Native Land. Featuring songs and narration by the legendary Paul Robeson, this documentary exposes attacks on the workers’ civil liberties during the 1930s. The film won the National Board of Review prize for Best Documentary. Screenings of this film are rare. (Georgia Museum of Art) 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.

PERSECUTED (PG-13) Are you sure this isn’t a TV movie? Evangelist John Luther (James Remar, not Idris Elba, reprising the similarly named tortured British detective) finds himself framed for murder and having to go all “Fugitive” after failing to back a devious senator’s (played by the typecast Bruce Davison) religious reform bill.

PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE (PG) This Planes sequel sounds like its best years are ahead on DVD. Dusty Crophopper (v. Dane Cook), now a world-renowned racer, experiences an engine injury and changes his focus to aerial firefighting.

THE PURGE: ANARCHY (R) I don’t get the dislike of The Purge. Sure, it wasn’t quite the home invasion chiller it purported to be, but its brand of dystopian exploitation was entertaining enough. In the quickly produced sequel, a young couple (Zach Guilford, who needs a better horror vehicle than Devil’s Due, and Kiele Sanchez) gets stranded right before the beginning of the yearly Purge.

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). l SEX TAPE (R) The premise might seem funny on paper. Cameron Diaz

and Jason Segel star as a married couple who try to bring the sexy back with a sex tape. Of course, the tape goes up in the cloud, and the duo must get it back before everyone they know sees it..

THE STORY OF OCAF Ciné and the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation present a free screening of the 30-minute documentary, The Story of OCAF 1994-2014, about a unique, nationallyknown art center located right over in Watkinsville. The community, called “The Artland of Georgia,” was created through the hard work of volunteers and paid for by independent donations, not tax money. (Ciné) TAMMY (R) Melissa McCarthy headlines her hubby Ben Falcone’s directorial debut; the duo collaborated on the script. McCarthy’s Tammy hits the road with her grandmother, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), after losing her job and discovering that her husband, Greg (Nat Faxon), is a cheater.

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.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION (PG-13) Evil government, represented by Kelsey Grammer, and evil corporations, represented by Stanley Tucci, are working together with a bad Transformer named Lockdown to hunt down the remaining Autobots.

22 JUMP STREET (R) 22 Jump Street steps right into the criticisms of other high profile R-rated comedy sequels like The Hangover Part II. Hot off the success of The LEGO Movie (still 2014’s best wide release), writing and directing duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, constantly and selfreferentially acknowledge that Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) just need to do the exact same thing again.

WISH I WAS HERE (R) Zach Braff stars as 35-year-old Aidan Bloom, who faces a(nother) pre-midlife crisis.

I guess they occur every 10 years for Braff. With Josh Gad, Ashley Greene, Kate Hudson, Joey King, Mandy Patinkin and, thankfully, Donald Faison.

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (PG-13) Director Bryan Singer returns after a two-film hiatus. 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.

Local cinema CinĂŠ aims to offer up some appropriate warm-weather counter-programming through Aug. 17 with its CinĂŠ Summer Classic Comedy Series, a showcase of essential movie classics ranging from the 1930s to the 1980s. The series started last weekend with screenings of director Ernst Lubitschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic romantic screwball comedy Trouble in Paradise, starring Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins as two thieves who fall in love and then conspire to rob a perfume company heiress (Kay Francis) of her considerable wealth. UGA film professor Richard Neupert also hosted a block of Warner Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looney Tunesâ&#x20AC;? cartoon shorts, starring the iconic characters of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd and the usual trickster suspects. Also showing that Duck Soup first weekend was the absurdist anti-romantic comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, starring the legendary groundbreaking (mostly) British comedy troupe Monty Python. Coconuts not included.

This week, starting Thursday, July 17, the brilliant and anarchic Marx Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; antiwar feature Duck Soup will be shown. If you already love the Marx Brothers, then you know how special this movie is. If you love smart, silly, slapstick comedy but have never seen Duck Soup, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for a unique afternoon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the finest American comedies ever made. The following week, starting July

24, Howard Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fantastic romantic screwball comedy His Girl Friday will screen, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the true great movies of its genre and notable for its quick-witted, staccato dialogue that paved the way for movies to come.

That same weekend, the hilarious 1980 comedy Airplane will be shown for two latenight screenings. Also, a series of essential Charlie Chaplin shorts will screen. The rest of the series extending into August will include Preston Sturgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; magnificent The Palm Beach Story, starring Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea, who also starred in Sturgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Travels; Billy Wilderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Seven Year Itch, featuring Marilyn Monroe as the object of sexual desire to middle-aged married nincompoop Tom Ewell; the landmark mock-â&#x20AC;?rockumentaryâ&#x20AC;? This is Spinal Tap, one of the funniest movies of all time; and the Disney musical/fantasy Mary Poppins (Dick Van Dykeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlandish Cockney accent is worth a few laugh-out-loud moments alone). The series concludes with a showing, in its 50th anniversary year, of the great Beatles movie A Hard Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night, directed by the underrated Richard Lester.

Cocktails, beer, wine, soft drinks, popcorn, candy and cookies add to the summer fun.

Watch and Learn Sprockets Celebrates

the Music Video

J

uly 18–19 at the 40 Watt Club, the annual Sprockets International Music Festival will unveil a wide array of videos from filmmakers all over the country and beyond. Although the fest is primarily focused on local musicians and directors, since 2010 the festival has obtained entries from all over the world. This year, entries arrived from 25 different countries on six different continents.

In an age when the artistic form of the music video seems devalued, it’s encouraging that many young filmmakers are still attracted to the medium.

“It’s so cool to see what filmmakers are doing across the globe,” says Sprockets founder and curator Danielle Robarge Rusk.

“The great thing is that Athens folks are making music videos that are as good as any in the world. Friday night’s Georgia Music Video show is kind of like going to Sprockets in 2008, with a super lineup of mostly Athens and Atlanta bands. Then, Saturday, we’ll have a combination of videos from everywhere— Athens to Singapore.”

Indeed, the festival, which prior to this year was part of AthFest and connected with the Flagpole Athens Music Awards, has expanded to include two separate music video shows—one for local and regional artists and one for national and international entries.

“In 2004, we received 24 music videos and played them all,” Rusk says. “As the years went on, we got more entries, and in 2008 they started coming in from other states—and then, in 2010, other countries. Last year was the year we decided to add a Georgia show to make sure we were still giving local filmmakers a place to show their work. It was kind of a bummer not being part of AthFest, and especially the Flagpole Music Awards, but I think it will help solidify our own identity as a standalone festival.”

At Friday’s Georgia Music Video Show, audience members can vote for the Best Georgia Video award. Doors open at the 40 Watt Club at 9 p.m., and the show gets rocking at 10.

The next day, the festival kicks into high gear at 1 p.m. at The Melting Point with the Sprockets Industry Talks, featuring a panel dedicated to the history of music videos, with guest music video historian Stephen Pitalo.

Originally hailing from Biloxi, MS, Pitalo is a freelance music and entertainment writer and a serious historian of the music video form.

Later that day at 3 p.m., also at The Melting

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 16, 2014

Point, web developer and co-founder of the Internet Music Video Database Adam Fairholm will talk about how music videos have changed in the digital era.

“Stephen has interviewed all the 1980s directors, artists and MTV VJs,” said Rusk.

“He’s really the leading expert on music video history. Adam’s talk is going to pick it up from there and talk about early video on the web, technology, distribution, monetization and what’s next for music videos. I think these talks will be super fun and appeal to a lot of folks, whether you’re a big ‘80s music fan, a musician, filmmaker or work in new media.”

Saturday evening at the 40 Watt, the show will peak with the Sprockets International Music Video Show, when all the entries will be shown and the awards will be handed out. This year’s judges are Louis Calabro, the Director of Awards and Special Events at the Academy of Canadian Cinema and founder of the Prism Prize; Caroline Bottomley, the founder and managing director at Radar Music Videos; Vince Mancini, writer, comedian and founding editor of FilmDrunk.com; musician, producer and UGA Music Business Program Director David Barbe; and Alyssa DeHayes, Team Clermont publicist and owner of Arrowhawk Records.

Although the music video may not be as influential as it was in its heyday of the 1980s and 1990s, Rusk still feels passionate about the form and its place as a viable artistic medium. Sprockets has given a platform to that expression, and Rusk says it will continue to do so as long as artists and filmmakers keep gravitating to music videos.

“I see music videos as an opportunity for filmmakers to stretch themselves creatively and technically,” she says. “We are a film festival, so we approach music videos as short films. We look for the same things that make a good film: original ideas, compelling story, high production value and the use of new techniques.”

Light Therapy: The Lyndon House Arts Center is currently exhibiting two technology-based projects, an exciting venture into a realm of artwork seldom on view in the gallery. Initially inspired by a trip to Seoul, South Korea, Zane Cochran designed “BitDome,” an immersive installation in the shape of a geodesic dome that combines technology and art for an interactive light simulation incorporating music, meditation and games.

“In Seoul, all the technology seemed to have a personality and complimented every aspect of the Korean lifestyle. That got me thinking about what it would be like if I created an immersive space where people were completely surrounded by technology that was sensitive to their presence and movements,” says Cochran. “In fact the ‘Bit’ in ‘BitDome’ has a double meaning. An obvious meaning has to do with a computer bit, which relates to the complex processing that drives the technology behind the experience. However, a more subtle meaning comes from a word borrowed from Korean that sounds like ‘bit.’

In Korean, this means light and inspiration.

Given that the ‘BitDome’ is a place that aims to stimulate visitors’ minds while being surrounded by interactive lights, I thought this was a fitting name.”

Zane Cochran Cochran, a Georgia Tech graduate student studying human-centered computing and industrial design, began developing the “BitDome” two years ago as part of his research at HackBerry Lab, a creative technology space at Berry College. The first prototype was constructed out of foam insulation paneling and duct tape, and has since evolved into the current 10-foot geodesic dome structure made from PVC and smart RGB LEDs controlled by a software program that interfaces with an XBox Kinect in order to track users’ movements.

Every Tuesday the “BitDome” will rotate to a new program for visitors to experience. The dome is currently set to an interactive game called “Ouroboros,” and will move on to light simulation “Solstice” on July 22, interactive game “Pakkuman” on July 29, interactive art “Light Paint” on Aug. 5 and interactive game “Invaders” on Aug. 12. “Some of the interactions encourage people to relax and ponder, while others, namely the games, require the users to move through the space with a sense of purpose,” says Cochran.

Previous versions of the “BitDome” have been featured during Georgia Tech’s TechArts Festival and the Confluence technology conference in Rome, GA. Visitors may also recognize Cochran’s work from “Cortex,” an

immersive, enclosed sphere co-created with Harrison Daniels that was recently exhibited at Creature Comforts Brewery as part of the Slingshot Festival. As an evolution of the “BitDome,” “Cortex” featured a much higher resolution through the use of projectors as opposed to individual LEDs, creating a physically removed, 360-degree environment for visitors to step into and interact with.

“I am currently working on an installation that I hope to exhibit at Lyndon House later this summer that uses 1,024 RGB LEDs—as opposed to the ‘BitDome’’s 61—that will prompt visitors to consider their point of view when observing the installation,” says Cochran. “If all goes well, it should be ready in time for the MakerFest on Aug. 9 in Athens.

Fingers crossed.”

Color Theory: Conceptualized by Lyndon House Curator of Exhibitions Nancy Lukasiewicz, “Roy G. Biv 8.2” is an interactive visual art experience that utilizes technology not as a tool for simply producing artwork, but as the medium itself. Participants are invited to select colors off of the eight touch screens lining the wall, which serve as digital palettes.

Each touch screen relays the chosen colors to a projected video, allowing participants to collaborate in creating live, geometric color arrangements that constantly change.

A special reception for the installation will be hosted by Didi Dunphy, the new Lyndon House Supervisor, on Thursday, July 17 from 6–8 p.m.

Dunphy, who also currently serves as the exhibition curator for the Classic Center and the Gallery@Hotel Indigo, is highly involved in the contemporary arts, having worked as a nationally exhibited artist and designer as well as in arts administration and education.

A year in the making, “Roy G. Biv 8.2” was made possible through a national leadership grant that the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded to the Center and the Athens Regional Library System. Though the installation’s layout appears remarkably clean and simple, the assistance of several organizations—including Tiger Direct, View Sonic, Corum Digital Corporation, Media Tile, Wooten Digital Systems and Atlanta Pro AV—was required in its logistical planning and development.

Summer of Love: The rest of the Lyndon House is of course occupied by the Art Rocks Athens Foundation’s “Paper Covers Rock” graphic arts exhibition, a treasure trove of concert flyers, posters, album and magazine covers, photographs and memorabilia documenting the crossroads between the Athens art and music scenes between 1975–1985. A free gallery tour and discussion, led by Lukasiewicz, will be held on Thursday, July 24 at 6 p.m., two days before the exhibit closes.

grub notes Here and There FOOD THAT YOU DESIRE: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the name of Mannaweenta Ethiopian Restaurant (706-352-8242) means, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well chosen. African food has long been a lacuna in the culinary scene of Athens. For a while, you could get some really tasty food at the African Caribbean Asian International Market on Gaines School Road, including a thick and marvelous dish of boiled okra and a wonderful peanut-based stew, but it closed.

For now, Mannaweenta isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a restaurant, but its owner, Hergu Bahtu, has plans to make it into one. To eat her food until she opens a brick-and-mortar location (she has her eye on the former Viva Argentine space on the Eastside), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to visit the West Broad Farmers Market on Saturdays, when it runs from 10 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 p.m. at 1573 W. Broad St. Browsing the booths is a pleasant experience, with music going in the background, some folks playing chess, yoga happening in a field and so on, but you can also head straight to Bahtuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table and get enough food for two meals for a mere $9.

On a recent Saturday, the main dish was yebere tibbs, or beef tips cooked until tender with onions, tomatoes, green pepper, garlic, ginger and herbs. Rather than picking at it with a fork, tear off a piece of injera (a flat, spongy, slightly sour bread made of teff flour that more closely resembles a large pancake) and use it as your eating utensil, wrapping the meat or veggies and soaking up their delicious

FLOWERING: A recent trip to Savannah happened to coincide nicely with the opening of Hugh Achesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest project, The Florence (1-B W. Victory Drive, 912-234-5522), which occupies a building that was formerly an ice factory and has been renovated into a fancy yet still industrial mixed-used complex.

Kyle Jacovino, who ran Five & Ten for a few months, has the kitchen, and his expertise in Italian cuisine forms the basis of the menu; Chris Wilkins, formerly of Independent Baking Co., is doing bread; and Allison Crumpton, who started out at Five & Ten, is both general manager and wine director.

sauce. Eaten on its own, injera can be an acquired taste, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to marry with the rest of the food, and that sourness adds an important flavor note.

Sides include atakilt alitcha (mixed vegetables cooked with garlic, jalapeno and herbs, which could serve as a main dish for vegetarians), gomen wot (collards chopped fine and seasoned with tomato, garlic and onions) and red lentils (cooked into a stew and seasoned withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;wait for itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; tomato, garlic and onions). The list of supplemental ingredients may sound repetitive, but the results in reality are not. Each dish has enough in common with its neighbors to combine well with them but maintain a distinct identity.

When the restaurant gets going, you can expect to find East African specialties including The Florence kitfo (finely chopped beef, traditionally served raw or rare, mixed with clariItâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early yet, and, at least in the upstairs fied butter and pepper), doro wot (chicken bar, where one can eat more informally, the stew with hard-boiled egg), lamb and baked staff were still figuring out what constituted fish, as well as spaghetti and lasagna, due to a station or where the extra beverage napkins the fact that Italy had a number of colonies were, but, on the whole, the place was in in the area. Everything is delicious, satisfying, great shape. The dining space downstairs has fun to eat and thoroughly worth your time. its own bar and is large without being cavernThe menu at the market is small but variable. ous, lit with wonderful fixtures.

Jacovinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities with charcuterie were notable during his time in Athens, and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slipped. The salumi plate is worth the $26 for three options, featuring, on this visit, housemade mortadella (served in warm slices with pasta fritta and a grapefruit-accented whole-grain mustard), country terrine (with pickles) and ciccioli (a sort of fried pocket of squeezed and aged pork fat, which is much better than it sounds, served with fennel slaw).

The bread plate includes focaccia, sesamecrusted breadsticks and slices of pain de campagne, served with excellent butter. The grilled sourdough that accompanies the bruschetta â&#x20AC;&#x153;grande,â&#x20AC;? a.k.a. a lovely little jar of chicken liver pâtĂŠ topped with a slightly too-thick layer of balsamic jelly, may be even better, smoky and redolent of BBQ. The black bucatini, which comes with a tomato-based sauce studded with Sapelo clams, Tybee shrimp and nuggets of garlic sausage, might be better with a simpler, less bold sauce, considering how good the pasta is, but the mussels al diavola are stellar: enormous, plump, perfectly cooked in a fragrant broth (one quibble: a dish for the shells would help).

The cocktail program is doing good stuff, with a great take on a Pimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup that uses bourbon and ginger beer and something pretty called a Mio Caro (gin, Aperol, strawberry, lemon, prosecco). There is much more to explore, including pizzas and flights of vermouth.

Fearful Symmetry

Lazer/Wulf’s The Beast of Left and Right In

2010, Bryan Aiken and Sean Peiffer were at a crossroads. Lazer/Wulf, the band they had formed as students at UGA, had lost members to job prospects and relationships. Aiken was still playing music with Bit Brigade and ‘Powers, but still, the two felt discouraged, and they were considering giving up music for more practical pursuits.

But, Aiken explains, “In late 2010, Sean and I saw Cinemechanica and Manray play together at the Caledonia and made the decision on the spot to come back to music as our primary goal—to get Lazer/Wulf back together and see how far we could take it.”

Writing via email from Europe, where the now Atlanta-based Lazer/Wulf is on tour, Aiken describes that night in no uncertain terms. “That show saved my life… Our lives had been getting pretty dark, and it shook us awake.”

Years after this epiphany, the resolve that show sparked has culminated in the band’s debut full-length, The Beast of Left and Right. The record is a dense, complex statement; Aiken was adamant that it reflect the band’s renewed commitment.

“When we decided to re-form, I was obviously thinking a lot about choices and paths, about going back and correcting past mistakes, and that informed my creative process. I knew whatever [the album] was going to be, it needed to be something that required dedication… I wanted that self-awareness to color the entire album. So, I built it into the structure.”

The effort that went into Beast is evident. The record is written as a palindrome, with rhythms, melodies, chords and riffs mirrored across its nine tracks. This means, for example, that track 9 uses the same rhythm from track 1, as well as the same riffs and chords, transposed from minor to major key; similarly, tracks 2 and 8, 3 and 7 and 4 and 6 are all in conversation with one another, with track 5, the centerpiece, incorporating rhythmic and harmonic elements from throughout the album.

The lofty compositional concept is paired with highenergy execution. The first track, “Choose Again,” opens on

an ominous minor chord. What sounds at first like a drum fill reveals itself to be one long, intricate beat, stretched over two full 4/4 measures, parts of Brad Rice’s kit resounding in the left and right stereo channels. In comes the guitar with a riff laid over the contours of the drum beat; the bass follows soon after with a complementary line.

Fact Sheet: Lazer/Wulf’s The Beast of Left and Right Best Track: “Choose Again,” the record’s opener,

which moves through variations on a central guitar line and builds steadily to a thunderous climax

Standout Moment: The almost-melancholy melody that starts off “Concentric Eyes” gives way around the four-minute mark to a sludgy, three-note riff Song You’ll Want to Hear Live: “Beast Reality (Center Piece),” which shows the band condensing an album’s worth of ideas into five minutes

The song continues through seemingly endless variations on the initial riff. Often, the three players will move slightly apart at the beginning of the first measure, only to fall into lockstep at the end of the second, converging in staggered triplets, or a quick sixteenth note figure on the guitar echoed by a doubled-up bass drum. This keeps up for eight minutes, with a peak near the five-minute mark, when the vocals come in over a sustained barrage of bass drum and a unison figure from the guitar.

This is heavy music, certainly, but the band’s range is too broad to fit snugly under any one label. The drums and dead strums that start off “Lagarto” give way to a tight harmonizing guitar riff with a gripping melody; the song moves through a

thrilling range of sounds in just four minutes. “The Triple Trap” opens with a dynamic syncopated figure worthy of Battles, and “Mutual End” builds to a cavernous atmosphere, with soaring vocals that recall Bambara, another group with Athens roots making music that’s heavy on the surface but has a lot going on beneath.

Aiken emphasizes the role of Athens’ eclectic music scene in his band’s identity. As for labels, he says, “We always just call ourselves an ‘experimental trio,’ because it’s the most honest answer, and it keeps people from bringing their own expectations to our music.”

In putting together The Beast of Left and Right, the band extended the palindromic concept to the visual component, as well. The group’s members handled the design themselves, with Peiffer photographing the cover and Aiken making paintings for each song. Ryan Olivera, whose brother Derek plays additional drums on the record, built the altar featured on the cover. (The latter two played in the now-defunct Manray, one of the bands that inspired Lazer/Wulf’s return.)

Lazer/Wulf comes home from five weeks of touring abroad just in time for the record’s release with a show at the Caledonia and will be back out again across North America in the fall. And with the album pressed and ready to go, the band is free to let loose in concert.

“We’re very deliberate in our songwriting,” says Aiken. “But we play like a punk band live. We take the time to craft these delicate vases, just to smash them over people’s heads.”

is an“Anti-Festival”for the Rest of Y’all

The Deslondes

F

or many, the concept of a music festival becomes less attractive with age; standing all day in the hot sun in a dusty sea of substance-addled 20-year-olds with $5 bottles of water as one’s primary means of hydration is not an entirely appealing option to those who have crossed the drunken college student/working adult divide.

But a handful of smartly curated boutique events have sprung up across the country in recent years which aim to provide a festival atmosphere without the unpleasantries and which eschew the typical waste-heavy experience for a more eco-friendly model.

Chief among those is Pickathon, a threeday festival that takes place in Oregon each August and features a lineup of critically acclaimed musicians, as well as a sustainably minded model that includes local food vendors, reusable utensils, camping and free drinking water for all attendees.

Organizers say that particular happening was the inspiration for the inaugural Wildwood Revival, which happens this Saturday, July 19.

“Wildwood is sort of an anti-festival,” says Libby Rose, a Pickathon vet and one of the local event’s founders who also runs the live music website liveandbreathing.com. “The feedback we hear the most from Athens folks is that the city really needs a festival like this.

Something with this kind of atmosphere and backdrop.”

That backdrop is Rose’s family’s property, a 30-acre event space known as Cloverleaf Farm, 15 miles southeast of Athens, just outside the tiny town of Arnoldsville. A popular spot for high-end weddings, on Saturday the farm’s open-air barn will host a lineup of regional rock and Americana notables, including exlocals The Whigs, Atlanta bluegrass collective The Whiskey Gentry and New Orleans boogie upstarts The Deslondes. (For the full lineup, see the Calendar on p. 17 in this issue.)

In addition to all the music, Wildwood aims to shine a light on local artisans and their creations; tickets to the concert include a full farm-to-table supper, and there will be an artists’ market featuring clothing and antiques, among other attractions.

“My brother is in the midst of creating an acre-large garden at Cloverleaf,” says Rose.

“The tomatoes you’ll eat at the festival will have come from about 200 feet away.”

Like its cross-country forebear, Wildwood is an environmentally minded event, with no single-use bottles or plates and free drinking water for all. Organizers encourage concertgoers to camp in tents or trailers, and there will be a small number of tipis available to rent for the night, too.

Hold that cringe: If this all sounds a little too “Portlandia,” Rose stresses that there will be something for everyone.

It may come across… that it’s a little bohemian, vintage-y, gypsy style festival,” she admits, “but we have all types of people coming. UGA students, parents, rockers, country folk, hipsters, whoever. If you love music, good food and hanging in a beautiful setting with a beer in your hand, then you’ll love Wildwood Revival.”

Beyond the first installment, Rose says the goal for Wildwood is that it will become a regular concert series featuring performances from some nationally recognizable names, as well as spotlighting lesser-known talents.

“Our long-term goal is to have about half the musicians as people you recognize and would love to see in this type of intimate setting, and the other half as musicians we’ve encountered around the country that we think people will absolutely love,” says Rose. “We’ve got some very unique ideas up our sleeves.”

Rose adds that she sees the festival as a chance for people not only to experience an unusual musical and culinary experience but also simply to get back to nature, as it were.

“You feel small in the world when you see and hear all the life around you that you miss or overlook in a city,” she says. “It’s a beautiful thing. We’re happy to share it with everyone.”

Cloverleaf Farm is located at 536 Wolfskin Road, just south of U.S. Highway 78. For directions and more info, visit wildwoodrevival.com.

threats & promises calendar picks Music News And Gossip

B-A-N-A-N-A-S: The second group of recordings compiled under the moniker Bananagrams is out now. Titled Bananagrams Vol. 2, the collaborative recording project showcases a handful of songwriters—members of New Wives, Dana Swimmer and Padre appear on the tracks. The whole collection is loosely psychedelic, but mostly just breezy and weirdly pleasant, with the most pleasant of all being “Build a Bridge,” a song written by Jack Blauvelt. You’ll swear it’s an unreleased Ween tune. The collection was released via Marching Banana Records, which has a whole pantload of free stuff online, including work from the artists mentioned above as well as Futo, Fake Flowers, Kirby & the Mablets, Mr. Moustache and Nathan Forsyth. About 75 percent of it is pretty good, too. Head to marchingbanana. bandcamp.com to figure out what’s going on.

Click it On: Another wonderful portal to the past landed in my lap this week courtesy of decades-long band manager, scene enthusiast and video maker Warren Chilton. There’s a trove of video treasures over at youtube.com/rottingtapes, and anyone could Bananagrams Vol. do a lot worse than spending an hour digging through them. There are live clips from Billy James in 1986, Asa Nisi Masa in 1997, tons of Guadalcanal Diary stuff from the early 1980s—which makes total sense, as Chilton was the band’s manager— including rare live footage from Atlanta’s 688 Club, and an exceedingly rare clip of Oh-OK playing the Strand Cabaret in Marietta Square on May 6, 1983. Here’s to more folks uploading all their old videotapes! This is as necessary an activity as there ever was.

Great Grooves: Nicholas Mallis and the Borealis released their debut album this past weekend, but the full record won’t be available for streaming until July 22. On that date, listeners can hear the entirety of Golden Age Vanity on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes and all other major online outlets. Compact discs should be available in local record shops now.

Mallis has already released a slow stream of tracks from the album; the latest is “White Girl,” a blue-eyed R&B slow jam with clear nods to Prince and Marvin Gaye. In lesser hands, this type of thing could have easily slipped into parody territory, but Mallis’ hands are greater, and it’s utterly enjoyable, especially toward the end when the guitar really comes in. Anyway, have a taste via

nicholasmallis.bandcamp.com and don’t say you weren’t told about this.

Sweaty Metal: The touring monsters in Lazer/ Wulf are coming home and releasing their new album Friday, July 18 at the Caledonia Lounge. Fresh off a tour of Europe, where they played a bunch of shows with lots of famous metal dudes, the band saw the stream for The Beast of Left and Right pop up last week on The A.V. Club. (The record comes courtesy of Retro Futurist.) Also on the bill are Bit Brigade, playing The Legend Of Zelda, and The Powder Room. It’s gonna be hot. It’s gonna be packed. Be there early. Keep up with all things Lazer/Wulf via facebook.com/lazerwulves and lazerwulf.com and see Marshall Yarbrough’s story on p.

14 in this issue.

Breathe In: New-ish Athens band Grand Vapids is pretty closevested with its music.

The band propagates this gorgeous blend of early/ mid 1990s slow-indie that once upon a time might have been referred to as “emo.” Everything is well constructed and feels very thoughtful.

2 The band has a number of gigs under its belt already but has only released a few teaser videos for its upcoming album. The group is composed of Austin Harris, McKendrick Bearden, Chris Goggans and Paul Stevens. You can see the videos at grandvapids.com and keep up with the band via facebook.com/grandvapids.

Grand Vapids next plays Athens on Saturday, July 26 at the 40 Watt Club with Brothers, Semicircle and Programs.

Mellow Fellow: Dwain Segar, popular radio DJ and host of “The Segar Jazz Affair,” will play at the West Broad Farmers Market Saturday, July 26 and Saturday, Aug. 2. Both performances happen at 10:15 a.m. The market is run by the Athens Land Trust and located at the former home of the West Broad School at 1573 W. Broad St., at the corner of Broad and Minor streets. Segar, who plays smooth jazz exclusively, can be heard Tuesday and Wednesday nights on WXAG 1470 AM from 8–11 p.m. and Saturdays 4–7 p.m. He also DJs regularly at both The Grotto (140 E. Clayton St.) and Omega Bar (3155 Atlanta Highway).

Chris Schlarb, Hikes, Mother’s Arms, Hand Sand Hands

Ciné · 9 p.m. · $5 Long Beach, CA guitarist Chris Schlarb has become a fixture on the national indie circuit for his heroic improv-based workouts and high-profile collaborations. His latest, Making the Saint, a quiet, largely acoustic outing made separately from his 12-piece group Psychic Temple, showcases Schlarb’s impeccable compositional capacity. Its creator describes the record in no uncertain terms as “a spiritual retreat,” and the album’s warm, inviting sound does transmit an innerworldly sort of calm, while titles like “The Fear of Death is the Birth of God” suggest a skewed religiosity. Math-y, melodic rock group Hikes hails from Austin, TX, and fans of Don Cab would do well to check ‘em out. Locals Mother’s Arms and Hand Sand Hands provide two disparate but convincing examples of why you should be paying attention to Athens’ exploding experimental scene.

Tomatoes at Terrapin

Terrapin Brewery Co. · 5:30 p.m. · $20 (adv.), $24 Combining locally crafted beer, local music and sandwiches made with locally grown tomatoes, The Athens Nurses Clinic’s fifth annual Tomatoes at Terrapin is raising funds to continue providing primary health care to approximately 1,200 homeless or uninsured patients. In addition to regularly providing dental services, hygiene kits and medications, ANC offers programs for diabetes management, nutrition and exercise, breast health and smoking cessation. The clinic anticipates relocating to a new building on North Avenue in 2015 and becoming part of the Athens Resource Center for the Homeless, which will also house AIDS Athens, the Athens Area Homeless Shelter and Advantage Behavioral Health Systems.

“New Member Show”

Farmington Depot Gallery · 6–9 p.m. · FREE! Housed within a historic train depot 10 miles from downtown Athens, the memberoperated Farmington Depot Gallery is currently hosting a special exhibition to highlight the work of its three newest artists, Shelia Bradley, Elizabeth Ogletree and Marian Maxey Smith. The mosaics of Smith demonstrate an appreciation for both the natural and the spiritual worlds, incorporating found objects and colored glass into images of animals, flowers and angels. The works of recent textile design graduate and self-taught painter Ogletree explore

themes of consciousness, mysticism and spirituality through ancient symbols and cosmic settings. Bradley’s collection of functional pottery—mugs, plates, teapots, bowls—is considerably colorful and also draws inspiration from flora like giant orange tiger lilies. The exhibit will remain on view through August, and the gallery is open Wednesday–Sunday from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. [JS] MUSIC | Saturday, July 19

Nightmares on Wax, murk daddy flex

Georgia Theatre · 9 p.m. · $20 George Evelyn is a straight-up legend in his field. With its 1991 Warp debut, A Word of Science, Nightmares on Wax combined techno, soul and acid house to create a decidedly unique and vastly danceable crossover sound that would be aped by lesser producers for years to come. (It’s no stretch to say the project is partially responsible for the soulless EDM stew that fills today’s nightclubs.) Evelyn continues to ply his trade and prove his mettle with countless mixes, remixes and studio fulllengths, like last year’s deep and orchestral Feelin’ Good. Earlier this year, Warp released N.O.W.

Dead Fingers

The World Famous · 8 p.m.

Country-tinged folk duo Dead Fingers is comprised of real-life indie rock sweethearts Taylor Hollingsworth and Kate Taylor—musicians known for their work with Saddle Creek-ers Conor Oberst and Maria Taylor’s bands, respectively. But Dead Fingers’ music, honest and sometimes painful, is more Johnny-and-June than M.-and-Zooey. The Birmingham, AL-based group is set to release Big Black Dog, its second LP, on July 15 via regional labels PIPEANDGUN/Communicating Vessels. It’s a perfectly capable album full of slightly gritty but melodically sweet slice-of-life songwriting that will appeal to fans of Americana mainstays like The Civil Wars.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Brothers and Sisters

Lee Gatlin

I grew up in a small town with two siblings, an older sister and a younger brother. My sister went to UGA, worked in Atlanta for a while, moved back to our small town when she started her family and is now a full-time mom with a beautiful family. My younger brother just finished a prestigious medical residency and is about to join the office of a Big Deal Surgeon.

I left our small town because I wanted to be an artist. I moved to New York and thought that everything would come together for me, and I was so grateful to be in the Big City. Ten years after finishing art school, it hasn’t happened. I have student debt, credit card debt, a sick dog and a measly living from teaching art as an adjunct at five—count ‘em—five schools around the city.

Sometimes my dog and I walk around the city early in the morning, and I can’t imagine having done anything else, lived any other way. But almost every day, I think about the lives my siblings have made for themselves and feel sick to my stomach with jealousy (and disappointment in myself). Sometimes I even avoid their calls, because I can’t stand to hear about the cute things my nieces have done or my brother’s new apartment and his new job. I hate feeling this way.

What can I do? I love my siblings, but I’m so jealous, I sometimes hate them.

Green-Eyed Artist

small town with kids? Or working for a surgeon? My guess is no. If you were living that life, you’d be writing me a different kind of letter—one in which you talked about dreams deferred, not being true to yourself, having unhappiness deep within, wishing something were different and feeling trapped.

So are you faced with two unattractive options? The first option is to live a life that’s true to what you want but marred by jealousy, and the second option is to live a life like that of your siblings, marred instead by a strong, persistent undercurrent of unhappiness? Fortunately, I don’t think so.

I think the third and happiest option is to keep building a life you will love. Keep evaluating and changing the things you don’t like. Be an art teacher until you’re not happy doing that.

Live in New York until you think you’d be happier somewhere else. If you’re unhappy but not sure what would be better, try making one change and see how it goes. Try something different for a year or three and see where you are. Try not to let yourself get pulled into the comparison trap, and do remember that you’re building a life that is true to what you want. If you do start to feel low sometimes, though, give yourself permission not to answer your phone. Spend time with friends whose choices and lives are more in line with yours. Sometimes you need that support and confirmation; don’t beat yourself up for it. Doing surgery and having kids are nice, but there are other great things, too.

There’s a really strong cultural narrative that close, trusted work friend, you could ask him or her how bad says spouse + kids + house + “important” job = happiness. it really was. I don’t suggest bringing it up with many people, And that does bring true happiness to some people. But it’s though, and certainly not in a group. If anyone else brings not even close to a universal formula. A lot of people would that night up, you can do one of two things. You can just not be happier living another way, but there’s not a lot of room in comment on it, or you can say two sentences about it.
