A Writer Writes I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loaf and invite my soul‌ Whoa! I thought I’d let his early hero Walt Whitman speak for our prolific hometown writer, Philip Lee Williams, but as his new autobiography It is Written: My Life in Letters confirms, even when Phil is loafing, he’s working on a book about loafing. His soul, though, has always had a standing invitation and a place penciled in on Phil’s busy schedule. In this handsome It is Written, My Life in Letters (what a great title!) published by Mercer University Press, Phil accomplishes some amazing stuff. First of all, he gives us his own literary history, how his life evolved from precocious kid to prolific writer. He really spells it out, with a lot of self-deprecation to temper the self-celebration. Another thing he does, which is simply amazing, is that he goes back and reconstructs his own life, something few of us can do. So, we not only get this insight into “one writer’s beginnings,â€? we get a fine, firsthand account of a life begun and lived almost completely in this area of Georgia: the historical record of one man and of one writer. Phil is a walking rebuke to all of us who keep meaning to write that book we think we’ve got inside us. Phil decided early on that he would be a writer, and he started writing. Never mind that he had a full-time job and a wife and children: He got up every morning before daylight and wrote his three pages and then cooked breakfast and took out the trash and woke up the kids and came on to work. And at work, he worked hard. He took charge. He managed. And then he went home, had a drink, ate supper, helped the kids with their homework and went to bed. The next morning he was up again before the sun, writing his next three pages. If you do the math, you can see that’s easily a book a year. So, right there is some indication of where his 11 published novels, four non-fiction books, two volumes of poetry and a chapbook came from. By holding on to all his day jobs, Phil kept his options open to write pretty much what he wanted to write and was able to avoid getting pinned down into any particular topic or genre. He explains all this in It is Written, and he’s got a book load of writer stories: his forays into the literary world of New York; his adventures in Hollywood with the script-optioners, his numerous awards, his relationships with his agents and editors, his friendships with other writers like Raymond Andrews, the inspiration of his wonderful parents and siblings and the emotional center of his existence, his equally hardworking and skeptically supportive wife, Linda. In It is Written: My Life in Letters Phil also stresses the importance not only of writing but of managing the writing—dealing with all the minutiae of getting work published and publicized, another area in which his superior skills kick in with good result. The opening publication party for It Is Written: My Life in Letters is in the Grand Hall of the Russell Special Collections Library at 300 Hull St. on the UGA campus Thursday, Sept. 4 from 5–7 p.m. This happy event is free and open to the public. Philip Lee Williams will read from and autograph his book, and there will be a cash bar and refreshments. The library will also be announcing that Phil has donated his voluminous personal papers to UGA. It is Written: My Life in Letters succeeds on many levels: as autobiography, as cultural history, as a revelation to other writers of what it takes and as the record compiled by a bright kid/young man/older man yearning and working to make his mark.

city dope Talkin’ Transit Athens has a plethora of transportation options, but they don’t all seem to fit together. Campus Transit ferries more than 10 million University of Georgia students and employees per year. For UGA and nonUGA people alike, there’s Athens Transit, which carries nearly two million riders per year and reaches 80 percent of the city’s population who live within a quarter-mile of a bus stop. Student apartment complexes run their own shuttles, or you can take a taxi (although the problems with Athens taxis are a whole other column). The sick and elderly have access to vans of their own for shopping or doctor’s appointments. The car-sharing service Uber is rumored to be making a foray into Athens, too. All in all, the system is the fourth-most used in the country. The average Athenian boards a bus 99 times a year, according to the National Transit Database, a figure that ranks behind only New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. and is the highest among the many college towns that fill out the top tiers, like Champaign, IL, and Gainesville, FL. Consider Athens Transit alone, and we’d still be 109th out of 290 cities that receive federal funding for mass transit. But there are challenges. UGA—which funds its own free transit system and subsidizes Athens Transit through student fees—is drawing tens of thousands of paying passengers away from Athens Transit with its Health Sciences Campus route. Apartment shuttles are competition, too. Athens has far fewer options for funding transit, and pumps less money into the system, than other communities. Athens Transit Director Butch McDuffie recently compared Athens to five other medium-sized college towns: Lexington, KY, Knoxville, TN, Tallahassee, FL, Baton Rouge, LA, and Tuscaloosa, AL. All but Baton Rouge had fewer riders per hour. All but Tuscaloosa spent more per mile. All of them, period, spent more per passenger. That means we have a very efficient system. Athens Transit relies on, roughly, one-third federal funding, one-third local taxes and one-third farebox revenue, about $6 million total. Other systems, though, take advantage of dedicated sales taxes, car licensing fees, dedicated property taxes and fuel taxes. For example, Knoxville—which is in Tennessee, the only state that spends less per capita on transportation than Georgia—gets $2 million annually from the state. Georgia is one of six states that does not fund transit at all. “Many of these communities have other means of funding their services,” McDuffie told ACC commissioners at a work session Tuesday, Aug. 12. “We don’t have those options here.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 20, 2014

Commissioner Kelly Girtz wondered, since we spend our dollars so efficiently, what could we do with additional funding? Another challenge is that the people who need transit the most—those who don’t have a car to get to work—are sometimes the hardest to serve. Transit thrives on density, and the densest populations are student apartment complexes. The route that serves Riverbend Parkway has 250,000 riders a year,

has resisted the idea, but enough commissioners were sympathetic that ACC is embarking on a $200,000 transit study—and everything is on the table. But the consultant who’ll do the study hasn’t even been hired yet, and it won’t be finished until January 2016. That’s a long way off, so keep the heat on the commission to see it through. Route Changes: McDuffie also announced a couple of minor route changes that took effect Monday, Aug. 18, so be aware. The No. 24 bus is running to the new Kroger on Highway 29 but not Fourth Street anymore because of the added time. The No. 3 bus is serving Fourth Street but no longer stops on Old Hull Road. The No. 20 bus has stopped serving Abbey West apartments on West Broad Street, because the complex is just the latest to start a private shuttle service. Downtown Master Plan: It has finally made it to the Mayor and Commission. UGA College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowley presented the plan at a work session Aug. 12. (Peruse the archives at flagpole. com if you want to get into the nitty gritty.) At Commissioner Kelly Girtz’s urging, Mayor Nancy Denson said she will appoint an implementation committee to, specifically, look at ways to pay for the plan. Amenities like parks and greenways aren’t cheap. Options include a tax allocation district, which would direct revenue from new developments toward downtown improvements; leasing publicly owned land to developers; and the next round of SPLOST projects, which will start around 2020. Audit Plan: Commissioners apparently have abandoned plans to have newly hired Auditor Steve Martin look into the widely criticized Leisure Services Department, which has come under fire from everyone, from artists to youth football coaches, in recent months. The work plan the commission is scheduled to discuss at its Thursday, Aug. 21 meeting includes examining how county officials interact with the public on development issues (as we keep hearing, Athens is “anti-business” because we have rules and expect people to follow them) and the various citizen boards and authorities the commission appoints (because ACC rarely listens to them anyway, so why bother).

five times the route that serves low-income (and low-density) communities in East Athens, McDuffie said. And major industrial employers like Caterpillar draw in workers from multiple counties—something that especially concerns Commissioner Jerry NeSmith, who represents Atlanta Highway and urged McDuffie to consider regional transit or more park-and-ride lots. Sparked by a Flagpole cover story on these issues in November, citizens have been clamoring to expand Athens Transit and reduce the cost, following the example of college towns like Clemson, SC, which has a unified city-campus system that’s free to all. Tim Denson picked up the ball and ran with it during his mayoral campaign. Mayor Nancy Denson

Health Care Hurdles: File under, “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” Because Obamacare is the work of the devil, the state legislature passed a law last spring forbidding any state agency from promoting or implementing it. As a result, UGA cannot apply to renew a federal grant for “navigators” who help people sign up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act, and the navigator program ended on Aug. 15. But you can still call the national help line at 1-800-318-2596 or speak to one of the navigators at the Athens Neighborhood Health Center. Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

capitol impact Lessons for Nunn and Deal There are many lessons about elections I’ve learned through years of reporting on politics. One lesson is that elections are about the future. Candidates are usually more successful when they communicate new ideas for solving the problems confronting a state or community. Candidates who are stuck in the past typically have a harder time inspiring people to go to the polls and vote for them. With that lesson in mind, I’ve been wondering what Michelle Nunn’s people are thinking in mapping out the strategy for her U.S. Senate campaign. Much of Nunn’s campaign message focuses on the fact that she’s the daughter of Sam Nunn, the retired senator. Sam Nunn has certainly helped his daughter raise funds for her race, thanks to his many connections in Washington and appeared in one of her commercials. While he did a commendable job of serving Georgia in the U.S. Senate, Sam Nunn is almost 76 years old and sounds a little old and tired. The last time his name even appeared on an election ballot was in 1990. He’s not exactly the person you would cite if you’re looking for innovative ideas about the future. Another major campaign event for Nunn was her endorsement last week by another storied name from Georgia’s past, former governor and senator Zell Miller. Miller’s even older than Sam Nunn, turning 82 earlier this year. Although Miller is well-known to Georgians of a certain age, it has also been a while since his name was on an election ballot—that was back in 2000. The dominant images of Michelle Nunn’s campaign are two aging politicians who have been out of office a long time and may not be that familiar to a younger generation of voters. I’m not sure that’s the best way to send the message that your campaign is all about the future. That may also be part of the reason why David Perdue, the Republican nominee in this election, has edged ahead of Nunn.

Another lesson I’ve learned concerns elections that involve an incumbent, as is the case with the governor’s race. If you’re an incumbent, you run on your record. If you’re the challenger, you run against the incumbent’s record. You would expect to see that dynamic in the contest between Gov. Nathan Deal and his Democratic challenger, state Sen. Jason Carter. Rather than talk about his record of the past four years, however, Deal seems to be much more interested in making the race all about Jason Carter’s 89-year-old grandfather, former president Jimmy Carter. Deal seems to do little else than criticize the younger Carter because of Jimmy Carter’s views on the current conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas militants. Jason Carter says he does not share his grandfather’s opinion on numerous issues, including Israel and the Middle East, but that hasn’t stopped the attacks. There are many important issues that will confront the next governor, whoever he is. How does the state make up for funding cutbacks to public schools that total more than $7 billion over the past decade? How do we fix our crumbling highways and bridges when Georgia spends less than almost every other state on its transportation infrastructure? What do we do about an unemployment rate that has started to increase again? Deal should be telling the voters what he’s done about those issues already and what he would do in a second term. Carter should be telling the voters what he would be doing differently from the current governor if he were to be elected. Why are we wasting time talking about Jimmy Carter in this governor’s race? Apparently, the candidates have some lessons to learn. Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

dollar signs, don’t get too excited, yet. The applicant-screening process is multifaceted, cutthroat and drawn-out. It begins with an online application covering general health, moves to an in-person meeting with a genetic counselor and a nurse to do some basic testing and then includes a meeting with a physician to go over the process in depth. Finally, if the candidate is still standing, she’s subjected to an exam with a psychologist. “If a donor had narcissistic tendencies, that would come out on the extensive testing that we do. We really look at those things,” says Mecerod. “For every 100 applications we get, maybe 10 girls are accepted into the program.” The approval process, start to finish, takes about six weeks. “We’re committed to making sure it’s something they really want to do. It gives them the opportunity to say, ‘You know what, I’m really not invested in this; I have reservations about this,’” continues Mecerod. In addition to giving the women plenty of

Since Ridings’ experience occurred before the clinic in Athens was open, she spent a lot of time and energy driving to and from Atlanta for all her appointments, and it was exhausting. “I would never recommend it, because I had classes, and work and a social life to manage,” she says. “It was just really, really hard. There were a couple times where I was like, ‘This is just too much; I need to not do this right now.’ But it ended up being worthwhile.” Ridings was one of the few, the proud, the 21–22 year-old donors that Mecerod mentioned they don’t see as frequently. In fact, Mecerod says most of RBA’s donors are 24–25. Though some college is a requirement for donors, according to RBA’s website, she acknowledges that they have “lowered that standard a little bit.” It was originally a prerequisite, because “it shows the commitment.” Also, if a donor’s sample lying in the egg bank is labeled as coming from someone with a GED, “they just sit there,” says Mecerod. If you’re starting to see

ake thousands a week working from home!” Everyone receives an email like that from time to time, and immediately discards it as junk. For healthy young women, though, a seemingly too-good-to-be-true offer can become a reality when they decide to sell their eggs. Though the procedure can be painful and invasive, compensation is as high as $8,000. More than ever, women are using donor eggs through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. From 2000–2010, the number of donor eggs used for IVF increased about 70 percent. With a growing demand for eggs, there follows, of course, a growing need for donors. To meet that need, Reproductive Biology Associates (RBA), Georgia’s first IVF center, has opened a monitoring clinic here in Athens on Sunset Drive, near the Health Sciences campus. Despite the clinic’s opening in March, RBA has not witnessed a significant increase in the number of donors, especially younger donors. Debbie Mecerod, director of clinical operations for My Egg Bank, which was established by RBA, describes this as surprising. “You would typically think that we would have a lot of girls from the university, but I’m telling you, we don’t see many 21–22 year olds. We’re seeing more of the girls who are going to graduate school,” Mecerod says. “I’ll tell you why: A lot of them have graduate school costs. A lot of them are doing it for the money.” Before you condemn these young women for selling their unborn offspring, consider that compensation for first-time donors is $7,000, increasing in $500 increments for the second and third cycles. RBA allows donors to cycle through six times, although most women average three times, according to Mecerod. For many of these young women, ages 21–30, that is a huge amount of money. That’s student loan debt, or at least a chunk of it. That’s a study-abroad trip. That’s a semester’s tuition. Whitney Ridings, now 23 and an alumna of UGA, made the decision to sell her eggs when she was 21, during her senior year of school. Agreeing that the compensation was her biggest incentive, she says, “I paid off credit card bills. I had a computer stolen a couple months earlier, and that was kind of a big factor for why I wanted to, because I had to buy myself a new computer. I just paid off all my bills, which was a big sigh of relief.”

time to turn back, RBA also offers free annual OBGYN exams to their donors until their 30th birthday, as well as free fertility preservation at their third donation cycle, which Mecerod notes is gaining importance as a determining factor for donor women. “I have a lot of medical students, attorneys, you know, people who are selecting their careers as their life path right now,” she says. “But down the line they want a little bit of insurance for themselves.” The free freezing of their own eggs acts as that insurance. Even if you make it through the screening process to the money and free egg preservation, there may still be complications. It’s a big commitment; donors have to go to the clinic often for monitoring and administer athome hormone injections themselves for 10 days before the actual egg-retrieval surgery. Mecerod proudly claims RBA hasn’t overstimulated a patient in seven years, though she says about one in five donors suffers complications. Even so, Ridings had one moment of regret during the process, which occurred a few days before the surgery was to take place. “Everything was swollen and all the eggs were inside me. I had a bowel movement and apparently that shifted everything, and I couldn’t get off the floor of the bathroom… because it was so painful,” she says. “I had to lay in bed for about six hours,” she recalls, noting that everything else went smoothly. If it’s egg donation horror stories you’re looking for, there’s no shortage of them on the Internet. The most terrifying scenarios involve ovarian hyper-stimulation from the injectable hormones, and most of the time, Mecerod says, this occurs when women go through agencies, rather than egg donor programs like RBA. RBA cycles through about 200 donors a year, some being repeat donors. The program freezes the woman’s sample, and she is guaranteed compensation and structured care, regardless of whether or not her eggs are chosen. The new clinic in Athens also serves women who are recipients. The donation is completely confidential, according to Mercerod: Neither party will ever know the other. They’re still hoping for more students. “We love our UGA girls, when they do come,” Mecerod says. Stephanie Talmadge

Renters’ Rights

What to Do When Your Landlord Won’t Do Anything E lizabeth Gaughf pulled up to her new Five Points apartment in January with a full moving truck and met disappointing news—the unit had flooded, and the owners didn’t tell her. The place didn’t have standing water, but the damage was apparent: wet floorboards, stained trim and a moldy smell. With a new job starting the next Monday and no other options, what else could she do? Gaughf, a 2010 University of Georgia graduate returning to Athens for a doctoral degree in higher education policy, moved in and carefully unloaded her boxes. The owners said they would take care of it. The thing is, they never did, Gaughf says. The boards began to rot, and mold bloomed on the walls. She cleaned the mold herself and tried to fix small problems. When she asked about larger maintenance concerns, such as a broken dryer, the owners forgot to check out the problem or tried to fix it themselves. “I didn’t feel like I could come to them with my concerns. My feelings were hurt,” she says. “I was an ideal tenant who paid rent on time and didn’t throw big parties. It causes stress to live in an environment like that.”

Elizabeth Gaughf

property management companies vary widely in their policies and response times. At one end, the Athens-Clarke County Community Protection Division enforces a minimum housing code across the county. This is meant to ensure that basic amenities—a roof, plumbing and electrical service—are in working order, not dangerous and the premises are generally clean. They don’t tend to get involved in specific landlord-tenant disputes, says Administrator John Spagna. But Georgia’s online Landlord Tenant Handbook, created by the state Department of Community Affairs, is a great place to learn your rights as a renter, he says. “Many times, we will advise them to seek legal aid, or if they can afford it, an attorney,” Spagna says. “The problem is that many of the issues are things like parking disputes or charges for things other than their rent.” Spagna’s best advice? Know what you’re signing when it comes to rental agreements and other documents. Those can give property owners a ton of leeway. Also, get all communication down in writing, says John Parker, leasing manager for property management company Parker & Associates. “When people go see apartments in January for pre-leasing and ask if certain things can be repaired before move-in, that needs to go in writing,” he says. “Six months later, they don’t always remember, and I don’t always remember.” Pay particular attention to move-in and move-out inspection forms included with the lease agreement. Mark down those scuffs on the floor and take photos of the typical wear and tear that happens during the year, such as dripping sinks. That’s what Gaughf did at her mold-filled apartment, and she thinks she’ll get back more of her security deposit for the effort. “I’d rather receive a five-page booklet on the minor details you see as opposed to nothing,” Parker says. “When you move out a year or two later, it’s harder for all of us to remember what it was like when you moved in.” Think about renting like you’re a consumer, Gauphf says. If you were at a restaurant and found a hair in your food, you’d send it back. Similarly, don’t hesitate to ask questions about your home. Tenants regularly email and Mold in Elizabeth Gaughf’s apartment forced her to move after her landlord refused to deal with it. call Parker with maintenance, roommate and rent concerns.

Catching Up Here’s What Happened Over the Summer

W

hether you went home for the summer or just took a nice, long vacation at the beach, there may have been some things you missed out on—an election, a scandal at a local hospital, a new gun law and the sale of an iconic local music venue, just to name a few. Check out last week’s Grub Notes roundup at flagpole.com for all the latest news in the food world, and peruse Flagpole’s archives online if you want to find out more about what happened around here this summer.

Breakfast & Lunch — OPEN —

Monday-Friday 7am–3pm Saturday 8am-3pm Sunday Brunch 8am–3pm

135 CHEROKEE ROAD, WINTERVILLE t MJUUMFDJUZEJOFS DPN

May 19: Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens dropped a motion to claw back 21 pages of embarrassing emails among state Board of Regents officials that Flagpole intern David Schick obtained from a 2012 open records request. Among the revelations: Vice Chancellor Steve Wrigley thinks Florida is superior to UGA. May 20: In a race that saw just 15 percent of eligible voters exercise their Constitutional rights, Mayor Nancy Denson won a second term in a resounding victory over bookseller and community activist Tim Denson. The underfunded and relatively unknown Tim Denson won four liberal, intown precincts and 40 percent of the vote overall, but Nancy Denson dominated in the suburbs and cruised to victory with 60 percent. In other races, District 5 (Normaltown, Homewood Hills) Commissioner Jared Bailey hung on to his seat, beating attorney Dave Hudgins in a rematch of 2010. Sharyn Dickerson ousted District 1 Commissioner Doug Lowry on the Eastside.

May 29: The local arts community spent the spring fretting about the future of the Lyndon House Arts Center, and many were relieved when the ACC Leisure Services Department hired Didi Dunphy—who also curates at Hotel Indigo and the Classic Center—to head it up. May 31: About 50 Athens residents took a field trip—sponsored by the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation—to Greenville, SC, to see their wildly successful downtown renaissance, 40 years in the making. June 3: In spite of some pushback, AthensClarke County commissioners decided that allowing sheep and goats to graze on invasive plants in residential neighborhoods is not a baaaaad idea. But you still can’t have chickens. June 5: Season 2 of the CMT redneck reality show “Party Down South,� filmed in Athens, premiered. The less said about this, the better. June 10: The Athens-Clarke County Commission held a long-awaited work session to discuss pedestrian safety on Prince Avenue. Transportation and Public Works Director David Clark presented several options, including a textured crosswalk moved from The Grit to a safer location at Taziki’s and overhead flashing beacons or signals. But there was little-to-no talk of Complete Streets: Prince Avenue’s plan for a road diet reducing the lanes on Prince between Milledge Avenue and Pulaski Street from four to three to create space for pedestrian refuges at crosswalks. To date, the commission has yet to act. June 13: In a surprise move, the county Economic Development Authority voted down a $2.5 million package of tax breaks and low-interest loans for a Hyatt Place hotel Joshua L. Jones

May 22: Athens Regional Medical Center and Athens Regional Health System CEO Jamey Thaw resigned abruptly, two days after doctors affiliated with the hospital cast a remarkable vote of no confidence in his leadership. At issue was the botched implementation of a new electronic medical records system that infuriated doctors and nurses. Chief Information Officer Gretchen Tegethoff

followed Thaw out the door days later, and Chief Medical Officer James Moore took over as interim CEO.

Mayor Nancy Denson won a second term May 20.

Melissa Link won a runoff for Athens-Clarke County District 3 commissioner. attached to the Classic Center. Supporters said the hotel would help fill up the Classic Center and create jobs; critics questioned why the EDA would give the Hyatt a leg up on competing hotels and why public financing was necessary. Developer Robert Small later said he planned to move forward in spite of the setback. June 14: Athens for Everyone, the group that grew out of Tim Denson’s mayoral campaign, held its first meeting at the Athens-Clarke County Library to talk about how to implement elements of his platform. The group later decided that expanding Athens Transit (and eventually making it free) would be their first crusade. June 20: AthFest kicked off with the Flagpole Athens Music Awards, or as Music Editor Gabe Vodicka insisted we call it, the #FAMAs. Folk-rockers Family And Friends took home both Upstart and Artist of the Year, while New Madrid won Album of the Year. After leaving the position vacant for a year, the Athens-Clarke County Commission approved Mayor Nancy Denson’s hand-picked auditor, retired department head Steve Martin, without even bothering to conduct a search.

Airport Authority is looking for an unsubsidized airline. The board of UGA’s student-run radio station, WUOG 90.5 FM, dismissed longtime DJ Akeeme Martin as general manager, saying that Martin could not serve as a staffer because he’s not a student and that he overstepped his bounds by negotiating with a music festival without the board’s say-so. July 18: Athens Intensified organizer Gordon Lamb announced that Killer Mike and The Egyptian Lover would join Cibo Matto as headliners for the September 11–20 festival. July 22: Voters in Commission District 3 (including Cobbham, Boulevard, Hancock and Rocksprings) chose Melissa Link over Rachel Watkins, largely on the strength of Link’s support in African American neighborhoods. Link’s victory led to speculation that the commission would freeze her out because of her past criticisms of the local government. Meanwhile, in spite of (or perhaps because of) his anti-gay, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant beliefs, Jody Hice won the Republican runoff to replace Rep. Paul Broun in the 10th Congressional District, which includes Athens. Hice faces local lawyer and Democrat Ken Dious in the general election in November.

June 28: Property owner Corky Sams sparked a controversy by painting over a David Hale mural at the former Sunshine Cycles building—the bike store moved to Baxter Street—in preparation for new tenant Philanthropy, a women’s clothing store. To Hale, though, it was no big deal, and Philanthropy commissioned him to paint another one.

July 25: The local easy-listening station EZFM 88.1 and 89.9 FM went off the air as the signal’s owner decided to stop using founder James Hutto’s syndicated content. Anyone still craving Perry Como can tune in at ez-fm.com.

July 1: Marked the one-year anniversary of University of Georgia President Jere Morehead’s taking office. In a Flagpole cover story, UGA faculty applauded Morehead for involving students in decision-making and for his focus on academics. It was also the date that a new state law allowing guns in bars, churches and many government buildings took effect. But most Athens churches and bars told Flagpole they’d continue to ban firearms.

Aug. 1: ACC officials cut the ribbon on the Pulaski Creek Greenway, a path along Moore’s Branch connecting the Leathers Building on Pulaski Street to the Council on Aging off College Avenue.

July 11: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accidentally sent a particularly virulent strain of bird flu to the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, rather than a less dangerous type. Don’t worry, though—the SEPRL did its job, caught the error and notified the CDC. July 15: The Federal Aviation Administration announced that it is pulling a $1.6 million subsidy for commercial air service in Athens, effective Oct. 31. For some reason, people were upset, even though SeaPort Airlines only has six passengers per day. Anyway, the

July 28: UGA graduate Josh Murray, brother of Aaron, won the heart of Andi Dorfman on ABC’s “The Bachelorette.”

Aug. 5: Wilmot Greene announced that he’d sold the Georgia Theatre for an undisclosed sum to a group of Athens and Atlanta investors who’ve tapped marketing professional and former District Attorneys frontman Drew Beskin as general manager. Greene assured Flagpole that the new ownership isn’t planning any changes. Aug. 7: Yay! More student apartments downtown! The ACC Planning Commission discussed an 81-unit development on Dougherty Street. Let’s just say they’re not big fans. Aug. 18: A week after Clarke County K-12 students went back to school, the UGA fall semester started. Like you didn’t know that already.

movie dope drew’s reviews THE EXPENDABLES 3 (PG-13) One plus of The Expendables fran-

 chise has been its ability to improve on its formula; keep hiring bigger

stars and more of them. The third movie introduces not only Mel Gibson but Harrison Ford and uses them in interesting ways (see Kelsey Grammer’s brief appearance as a “talent” scout). However, it is Antonio Banderas, as overeager Galgo, that is the most energetic addition. After discovering his old pal, Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), is alive and evil, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), cans his old team (Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Terry Crews) in favor of a younger, dumber model (newcomers Glen Powell, Victor Ortiz, Ronda Rousey and Kellan Lutz). Naturally, trouble brings together Expendables young and old, plus Ford (replacing Bruce Willis as Barney’s CIA contact), Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jet Li. The movie’s no more idiotic than the ‘80s blockbusters that made several of these guys multimillionaire icons. Some of the dialogue borders on stupid brilliance. New director Patrick Hughes proves he might not be a bad choice for that unnecessary remake of The Raid. Keep making them, Sly; maybe next time, let the girls play too. LET’S BE COPS (R) Unfortunately for Let’s Be Cops, 22 Jump Street was very funny and relatively recent, and 21 Jump Street is constantly on television. The latest copmedy, starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. (both from Fox’s “New Girl”), is neither as funny nor as satirically inspired. Two pals, Ryan and Justin, seem to have hit a dead end in L.A. until they put on cop uniforms and have their lives magically, immediately improved. Johnson’s Ryan has somewhere to focus his energy, and Wayans’ Justin has a new girlfriend (Nina Dobrev). Too bad they run afoul of a Russian mobster (James D’Arcy). The laughs are sparse, and the action is unbelievable. I would rather see a spinoff focused on the underrated Rob Riggle’s patrolman. Johnson’s loser shtick was originally charming on “New Girl,” but it has quickly worn thin. Wayans has a charming ease about him; he just needs better material. The vague smell of a new Police Academy, which might be a good fit for Johnson, wafts from this weakly humorous movie. At least in that movie, a gigantic, potential felony is not driving the entire plot. Still, the movie’s biggest crime is its lack of laughs.

also playing AND SO IT GOES (PG-13) This Frankensteinian mashup, a pseudosequel to Annie Hall and As Good as It Gets, might as well be titled Old People Movie. It ticks all the stereotypical checkboxes for its target demographic. Too bad it lacks the romantic humanity of James L. Brooks or the fashion sense of Nancy Meyers; director Rob Reiner has lost all touch with his sense of character or comic timing. If not for the average work done by the two graceful leads, Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, this movie would be an utter disaster. Still, Douglas sometimes borders on bad showy as real estate meanie Oren Little. Keaton does what she can with chronic crier, Leah, a lounge singer who breaks into sob stories during every song that reminds her of her late husband. Enter Oren’s heretofore unknown granddaughter, Sarah (Sterling Jerins). While acting as Sarah’s co-caretakers, the duo fall in love. And Oren sells his multimillion dollar home. And he learns to be a better man. Typical. ARE YOU HERE (R) Matthew Weiner, the creator of the acclaimed “Mad Men,” steps behind the camera for his feature directing debut, though he was previously behind the camera for a handful of episodes of AMC’s hit drama. Zach Galifianakis plays yet another Zach Galifianakis character, Ben Baker, who inherits a large sum of money from his deceased father. Owen Wilson stars as Steve Dallas, Ben’s childhood friend. With Paul Schulze (“Nurse Jackie”), Amy Poehler, Edward Herrmann and Peter Bogdanovich. BOYHOOD (R) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) CRUEL JAWS 1995. Bad Movie Night is back to celebrate the worst movies

12

you could ever dream of seeing. The latest craptastic flick is Cruel Jaws, a sort of Jaws’ Worst Hits. On the eve of the big windsurfing regatta, a tiger shark—bred to kill!—attacks the town of Hampton Bay. Enter the mafia, sleazy real estate dudes, a Sea World-ish owner named Dag and dolphins! Not content merely to steal plot points, this Italian-American coproduction even brazenly “borrows” footage from the Jaws franchise and sounds like terrible fun. (Ciné) DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13) 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 (Andy Serkis) 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). I never thought I’d fully back a PotA flick without humans shuffling around behind stuffy masks, but with the digital FX in Dawn I don’t miss them at all. The work done on the apes is truly wondrous to watch. EDGE OF TOMORROW (PG-13) Tom Cruise’s new sci-fi action tentpole would be better titled Live. Die. Repeat. (That phrase serves as the oft-repeated tagline.) That title’s way more evocative than the generic Edge of Tomorrow. Cruise stars as a future soldier who keeps dying and waking up with more skills. Emily Blunt is somehow, prettily connected. Doug Liman is trying to remind audiences he directed The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, not Jumper, the flick that seemed to stall his upward trajectory. FRANK (R) This is a truly absurd film about an eccentric pop band called Soronprfbs led by the mysterious

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 20, 2014

Frank (Michael Fassbender), who wears a papier-mâché head. Young Jon (Domhnal Gleeson, About Time) joins the band just as they move to Ireland and prepare for South by Southwest. Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as Frank’s sidekick, Clara. The trailer promises a fresh, surreal film. Hopefully, director Lenny Abrahamson, who won Cannes’s C.I.C.A.E. Award for 2007’s Garage, can oblige. With Scott McNairy GET ON UP (PG-13) James Brown might have had more energy than any of his entertainer peers. Perhaps that’s why his biopic, directed by The Help’s Tate Taylor from a script by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (the summer’s most underrated movie, Edge of Tomorrow), has a little more pop than recent, popular, award-winning biopics Ray and Walk the Line. Disjointedly constructed out of chronological order, the life of James Brown (Chadwick Boseman) unfolds from his poor childhood through his (glossed over) jail time. And in the middle are all the hits that made the Georgia native the Godfather of Soul. After receiving high marks for his Jackie Robinson in 42, Boseman tackles a tougher icon in Brown, whose appearance and voice

his latest heist lands him in jail with one of Thanos’ daughters, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a genetically engineered raccoon named Rocket (v. Bradley Cooper, who has more zingers than the other actors combined), a talking tree that only repeats, “I am Groot,” in the voice of Vin Diesel, and a vengeful fellow who goes by Drax the Destroyer (the film’s pleasant surprise, WWE’s Dave Bautista), the Guardians must break out and defeat the evil Kree, Ronan (Lee Pace). Don’t shy away from Guardians because you don’t know the characters or because it looks dumb. It’s funnier than The Avengers, and a stellar sci-fi adventure flick. HERCULES (PG-13) Immediately forgettable, but not altogether unentertaining, this stripped down take on the Greek demigod—son of Zeus by a mortal—falls somewhere between television’s campy “Hercules” and Conan. Explaining away the myth of Hercules (played far less charmingly by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson than one would expect) as the trumped up work of a band of extremely talented mercenaries, the action movie focuses on a brief post-12-labor period in which the legendary warrior adventured into

I don’t do “crosswalks.” many filmgoers still recall. Again, Boseman nails his subject. He simply is James Brown. Nonetheless, this musical biopic falters in its third act just like its aforementioned peers. It’s hard to keep the drama compelling when the end is so well known, and ultimately, Get On Up’s James Brown lacks the real man’s complexity. But it sure is entertaining and informative. THE GIVER (PG-13) Lois Lowry’s classic teen dystopian novel gets the big screen treatment so the unfamiliar can call it a Divergent ripoff (even though it’s the other way around). In what looks like a perfect community, young Jonas (Brenton Thwaites, Oculus) is chosen to train with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who teaches him the truth about the world. Phillip Noyce is an intriguing choice to direct, but can this late arrival to the cinematic YA party overcome its tardiness? With Meryl Streep and Taylor Swift. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (PG-13) Marvel has been on a roll, but who would have thought a practically unknown comic adapted by a cult favorite would be their best flick since Avengers and vie for top-dog status? This version of the spacefaring team of superheroes brought to the big screen by Slither filmmaker James Gunn first appeared in 2008. Star-Lord née Peter Quill (the always amiable Chris Pratt) was kidnapped from Earth, and after

Thrace, seeking to save the kingdom of Lord Cotys (John Hurt). The less serious one takes this picture, the better it plays; try not to envision Eddie Murphy’s Mama Klump when repeated chants of “Hercules!” swell from the army’s ranks. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (PG) With Pixar sitting out summer 2014 and Disney only delivering a Planes sequel, How to Train Your Dragon 2 has a great shot at being summer’s biggest family hit. Hiccup (v. Jay Baruchel) and Toothless meet Hiccup’s mom (v. Cate Blanchett) and must battle the dragon hunter, Drago Bludvist (v. Djimon Hounsou). Returning voice actors Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig are joined by Kit Harington of “Game of Thrones.” THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY (PG) From the trailer, I should have guessed this literary adaptation (Richard C. Morais wrote the novel) was directed by Lasse Hallstrom; I would not have guessed Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things) wrote it. An Indian family (led by Om Puri) clashes with Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), who owns a nearby traditional French restaurant, until the family’s talented young chef, Hassan (Manish Dayal), falls in love with Madame’s cuisine and her sous chef.

IF I STAY (PG-13) Another popular, sad YA novel comes to the big screen. After a car accident leaves Mia Hall (Chloe Grace Moretz) in a coma, she must decide whether to wake up to a changed life or let go. Director R.J. Cutler received a lot of acclaim for his documentary, The September Issue; If I Stay is his first dramatic feature. Screenwriter Shauna Cross (Whip It and What to Expect When You’re Expecting) is batting 1-for-2. With Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard (remember him from The Blair Witch Project?). INTO THE STORM (PG-13) Watching a disposable disaster flick like Into the Storm (could the title be any more generic?) on the big screen feels odd. Since the advent of Direct to Video and the Syfy Channel, movies like this forgettable, competent special effectsacle do not typically get projected. Of course, in 1996, a flick like Into the Storm was a summer blockbuster titled Twister. The main thrust of Into the Storm is a super cell of tornadoes that touch down in a small Oklahoma town on graduation day. The heroic, yet high, vice principal (Richard Armitage, best unknown as The Hobbit’s Thorin) must team with a pretty storm chaser (Sarah Wayne Callies, “The Walking Dead”) to save his son. A couple of jackasses (the familiar faced Kyle Davis and Jon Reep) provide some mild comic relief. That’s the gist of Into the Storm, which mostly amounts to a bunch of well-constructed CGI of funnel clouds and flying cars. Yes, the movie does contain a flying cow a la Twister. LOVE IS STRANGE (R) Ben and George (John Lithgow and Alfred Molina) are finally getting married. Unfortunately, this happy occasion causes George to lose his job at a Catholic school. The couple must now live uncomfortably apart with friends (Cheyenne Jackson from “30 Rock”) and family (Marisa Tomei) while looking for cheaper accommodations. Director Ira Sachs’ last film was the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize nominee, Keep the Lights On. At least two “Northern Exposure” alums, Darren E. Burrows and John Cullum pop up. LUCY (R) Scarlett Johansson stars as Lucy, a drug mule who has the secrets of her brain unlocked by a mysterious drug that has leaked into her system. As she reaches 100% consciousness, she becomes superhuman, learning Chinese in minutes and to

move objects with her mind. Morgan Freeman shows up to explain everything. One can hope for a new Besson heroine to join The Fifth Element’s Leeloo and La Femme Nikita. MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT (PG-13) Woody Allen returns with another light romantic comedy set in Europe. This time, the backdrop is the 1920s French Riviera, where Allen’s latest muse, Emma Stone, stars as a medium, whose veracity is challenged and whose skill challenges British magician Stanley (Colin Firth), known on stage as Wei Ling Soo. The cast, including Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Hamish Linklater (HBO’s “The Newsroom”), Simon McBurney (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Eileen Atkins, is not as impressive as usual. A MOST WANTED MAN (R) It’s always nice, if not quite successful, when someone attempts to adapt John le Carré to the big screen. In A Most Wanted Man, director Anton Corbijn (The American, which was not as good as his debut, Control) and screenwriter Andrew Bovell (Mel Gibson’s Edge of Darkness) are in charge of one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s final performances, as an American intelligence agent in Hamburg, competing with the Germans over what to do with an illegal Chechen Muslim immigrant. With Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, Robin Wright and Daniel Bruhl. (Ciné) THE ONE I LOVE (R) A trailer promises a lot when it namedrops Charlie Kaufman, Spike Jonze, Safety Not Guaranteed, Jeff, Who Lives at Home and Cyrus. A struggling couple, Ethan and Sophie (Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss, who won the Newport Beach Film Festival’s Honor for Outstanding Achievement in Acting), are sent on a retreat by their therapist (Ted Danson). What happens there is so mysterious, the trailer will not even tell us what happens. I am intrigued by Charlie McDowell’s directorial debut, scripted by first-time feature writer Justin Lader. PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE (PG) Dusty Crophopper (v. Dane Cook), now a world-renowned racer, experiences an engine injury and changes his focus to aerial firefighting. Dusty joins the Smokejumpers, a team of all-terrain vehicles led by the veteran chopper, Blade Ranger (v. Ed Harris). Remember this is just Disney, not Pixar. l SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Once upon a time (the mid2000s), I was pretty excited for Robert Rodriguez’s long-promised Sin City sequel. The trailer looks sharp, but my interest in the further adventures of Marv (Mickey Rourke), Nancy (Jessica Alba), Dwight (now played by Josh Brolin) and more has waned. I still want to see it; I just no longer have to see it. I do love a cast that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Powers Boothe, Ray Liotta, Christopher Meloni and Christopher Lloyd.

STEP UP ALL IN (PG-13) Time to put your dancing shoes back on for the fifth installment in the biannual Step Up franchise. Can you believe we have had a new Step Up every other year since 2006? Essentially, every year a congressional election is held, we get a new Step Up. This time, the all-stars from previous movies—Ryan Guzman, Briana Evigan, Adam Sevani, Misha Gabriel, Twitch and more—battle for dance dominance in Las Vegas. Director Trish Sie makes her feature debut. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (PG-13) One is certainly welcome to expect more from a fourth live action version of Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but one should also keep in mind that this is a movie about turtles who are concurrently teenaged, mutant and ninjas. If one expects Fellini or Bergman, one best venture elsewhere. That doesn’t mean someone talented couldn’t do a gritty version of TMNT;

the current movie just isn’t it. In the hands of producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman, TMNT excels and suffers similarly to the Baydirected Transformers movies. Why does Bay task his writers with scripting so much human action? Turtles wastes too much time on justifying April O’Neil’s presence, and unfortunately, Megan Fox is at her most vapid as the yellow-jacketed reporter. Luckily, the last two acts of the movie are dominated by the fun and exciting computer-generated antics of Leonardo (v. Johnny Knoxville), Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo. The best, if not most astute, critique I can make about TMNT is that it’s more entertaining than any Transformers or G.I. Joe movie. WHAT IF (PG-13) Nice guy Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) meets charming Chantry (Zoe Kazan) and feels an instant connection. To his disappointment, Chantry lives with her boyfriend, Ben (Rafe Spall). Can a guy and a girl just be friends? Has this question not

been answered already? This romcom appears cute in its trailer, which does overshare a bit about the movie. Adam Driver from HBO’s “Girls” appears as Wallace’s best bud. With Megan Park (“The Secret Life of the American Teenager”) and Mackenzie Davis (AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire”). WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL (PG) In this film based on the book by the same title, Jim “Jesus” Caviezel stars as the head coach of the real-life De La Salle High School Spartans who went on an unprecedented 151 game winning streak (the NFL record is 21; the best college streak is 47). Director Thomas Carter knows sports movies; he previously helmed Coach Carter. The cast includes Alexander Ludwig (The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising), Michael Chiklis, Laura Dern, Clancy Brown and Matthew Daddario (only important for being the gorgeous Alexandra Daddario’s brother).

Time Passages BOYHOOD (R) The best kind of art is subtly transformative. Focusing on movies and novels in particular, you don’t even realize that a profound change is occurring inside you as you watch or read, because you’re involved in the narrative and in the lives of the characters who make the story come alive. You’re embedded in the beauty of fiction.

But you’ve never seen it done quite like this. Beginning in 2002 and ending in 2013, Linklater filmed his actors for a few days each year while in between projects. Although the movie is only 165 minutes (and certainly doesn’t feel like it), the narrative trajectory moves like an intimate emotional odyssey. We watch and experience the subtle physical

Patricia Arquette and Ellar Coltrane Director/writer Richard Linklater’s latest release, Boyhood, is this year’s most critically acclaimed independent movie and the Texasbased filmmaker’s finest work to date. There’s good reason for the hype. It’s a remarkable, daring and quietly powerful experience, one that isn’t easy to shake off afterward. Boyhood is a coming-of-age story and a rather simple one that follows the life of six-year-old Mason (Ellar Coltrane) through his early youth and up to the age of 18. Mason lives with his mother Olivia (Patricia Arquette) and his sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the director’s daughter) and frequently sees his father Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke), who’s divorced from Olivia. Linklater focuses on many of the upsand-downs we’ve seen before in movies, like Mason’s travails at school, his interest in girls and his sometimes complicated family life, particularly dealing with Olivia’s difficult relationships with various men.

changes in the actors as they age, and it’s delightful and jolting to see how Mason deals with the choices in his youth and beginning of adulthood while always faced with the unknowability of his future. Many filmmakers (think Orson Welles and Bela Tarr, among many others) have obsessed on how the camera can convey the passage of time in a meaningful way. Linklater has long dealt with the idea in many of his movies, but never this ambitiously. What makes his accomplishment brilliant, though, is how loosely Linklater directs and the seemingly effortless performances (Arquette is particularly memorable and excellent). Like all of Linklater’s movies, Boyhood is warm, perceptive and thoroughly realistic, far removed from current mainstream cinema. It’s a special movie that grows inside you like great art should.

EDM in ATH DJ Tigrlily Joshua L. Jones

The New Faces of Electronic Dance Music or every time, there is a musical zeitgeist. The early ‘90s brought us grunge. A decade later, boy and girl bands ruled the airwaves. The last few years have seen the rise of electronic dance music, or EDM, a sonic trend that’s permeated everything from Top 40 to major music festivals. The genre is gaining prominence in the local scene, too, thanks largely to its adoption by the students—particularly, those of the Greek variety—on UGA’s campus. Charmed by EDM’s flexibility (its defining characteristics—percussive beats, high energy, nonstop motion—can be wedded with virtually any other genre) and recognizing the potential to turn a profit, local musicians with leanings toward hip hop, DJing, house music and more have begun to dabble in the more straightforward party-centric style. Recently, a proper scene has started to emerge, centered around venues like New Earth Athens, Green Room, Barcode and Cutter’s Pub, as well as newer spots like The Flight Deck. As the scene has grown, like-minded musicians and DJs have crystallized into groups, putting on shows and scheming up ways to make a name for themselves beyond Athens. Chaotic Entertainment (formerly Smash House Entertainment) is one such group. It started in summer 2013, when Ian Paulin, aka Mob Knarly, started DJing pool parties at The Lodge apartment complex on North Avenue. From there, he was joined by former Future Ape Tapes member Brian Walker, aka Luke Highwalker, Ryan Harris, aka Flashbomb, and others, growing from poolside to proper downtown venues, starting with the upstairs space at Cutter’s Pub. By virtue of its versatility, EDM can be difficult to define. Walker characterizes it as “music that’s not completely based on lyrics. It can be something like Skrillex to Daft Punk

F

to Avicii. It’s in everything. Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’ is trap [an aggressive style that originated in Southern hip hop]. Ellie Goulding is the pop side of it.” When you hit up an EDM show, it can be tough to know what you’re going to get. But the two main crews in town—Chaotic and CrushTeam, with its leaders Andy Harrington, Will Weber, Robbie Beck and Tyler Glenn—do break down along some stylistic lines. “My DJs are a lot more grimy [than the Pretty Lights school of EDM],” says Trampus Anglin, a DJ and business manager of sorts for Chaotic. At 36, he’s one of the oldest people in the crew. “There are so many genres:

where attendees listened to the set via headphones. Where Chaotic’s scene has sprouted up around a standing Thursday night engagement at The Flight Deck, apartment complex pool parties and occasional raves at Barcode, CrushTeam’s parties often center around New Earth, Green Room and the Georgia Theatre. CrushTeam’s Glenn, aka Trogdor, is something of a local EDM godfather, a player whose name is checked by nearly everyone interviewed for this story. But it’s Harrington, aka Andy Bruh, Weber, aka Stellashores, and Beck, aka Robbie Dude, who seem to be most prolific.

,,Athens was steez! Now, everyone is a producer.,, trance, deep house, space—which sounds like Transformers making love.” But trap, it seems, is the sound of the moment. “Trap is really big here,” Anglin says. Its popularity is a mixed bag, according to Harris, a lanky 25-year-old with petite gauges in his ears, who says it inspired lesser talents to get in the game. “I’ve always been the mixer with iPods, doing weird music and hype music. I got taught by Tyler Glenn,” he says. “2011 is when the new age of dubstep and trap came in. Trap changed everything. I feel like the quality of DJs has faded. Athens was steez! Now, everyone is a producer.” Harris, however, understands his role not only as a “button-pusher,” queuing up songs, but also as an entertainer. This year, he was invited to the Counterpoint Music Festival outside Rome, GA, to DJ the “silent disco,”

The CrushTeam crew, to hear the Chaotic boys (and girl—there is one female DJ, Lauren Hunter, or Tigrlily, in the crew), “do more hip hop-style DJing, with a lot of scratching. Their DJ shows are also more lyrics-based and songdriven.” Glenn’s DJ style also showcases a cheeky sense of humor. The first track listed on his SoundCloud is a dubstep remix of Enya’s “Only Time,” which is both surprisingly well-suited to the clacking percussion of EDM and funny, when the anticipation of the dropped beat is finally satisfied. Harrington confirms CrushTeam’s hip hop leanings. “I love bass-heavy music,” he says. “Hip hop-influenced stuff. [There’s] lots of hip hop in my DJing set. [I’m] trying to bridge the gap between a jam-band sound and a dubstep/electronic sound, driven [by] a fat 808 and crunk melodies.”

Like Chaotic’s regular Thursday night engagement, CrushTeam has figured out the value of having a predictable schedule fans can rely on, synced up with other studentdriven events. This fall, the crew will put on regular gameday shows at Green Room. Harrington also says CrushTeam has plans to incorporate live bands into their shows, something Rock and Dee Elrod, the owners of The Flight Deck, are also looking to do. “I’d like to get to the point where we can mix it up, have bands come play from 8–12, get the people in here and then, when the bands head out, have DJs play,” Rock Elrod tells Flagpole. With demand for EDM still growing, Chaotic and CrushTeam have their eyes on writing more original music and pushing the local scene forward. Ultimately, success could mean gigs at festivals around the Southeast and beyond, and with followings growing in the bigger Atlanta market, both crews seem poised to seize upon their momentum. Making it to those festivals might be a challenge for the average UGA student or working Athenian. Luckily for local ravers, the beat goes on right here in town. Rachel Bailey

The flagpole Q&A hen Five Eight singer and guitarist Mike Mantione and bassist Dan Horowitz moved to Athens from upstate New York in 1987, Mantione says it wasn’t love at first sight. “I came down here thinking there was water,” he says. “There’s no ocean. I remember thinking, ‘Oh God, why did I move here, again?’” It’s hard now to imagine a band more intricately woven into the fabric of Athens music. A quarter-century since its debut, PassiveAggressive, and countless soaring highs and crushing career lows later, Five Eight is still, somehow, going strong, always sharpening its inimitable brand of spirited, melodic, lyrically intimate guitar-rock. The band is currently working on the follow-up to 2010’s Your God Is Dead To Me Now. The album, reportedly titled Songs for St. Jude, includes collaborations with renowned songwriter Jack Logan and is slated for a late 2014 release. (Stay tuned for more coverage.) Says Mantione about the new record: “The history of the band has probably been well told by now. What we’re trying to do is rewrite that a little bit from the idea that you can re-invent yourself how you want in this day and age. That’s where we’re coming from.” Flagpole music writer Dan Mistich recently caught up with Mantione and drummer Patrick Ferguson at Espresso Machine studio. [Gabe Vodicka]

Flagpole: So, you didn’t fall in love with Athens immediately? Mike Mantione: It took me a little while. I loved the fact that you could get a $3 dinner. And I loved the cheap rent and I loved being able to walk everywhere. I think what really solidified it was playing in town. There was this club, DT’s Down Under, on Clayton. There were some great shows that had a real DIY vibe. And then we realized you could play all of these towns around here that were just starving for music. It was great—you could make 150 bucks and get free food. It was incredible.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 20, 2014

FP: Did you and [bassist] Dan Horowitz immediately start playing shows? MM: Yeah, I was only here two weeks, and I played the 40 Watt. Jared Bailey was booking at the time. It was the old 40 Watt, where the Caledonia is now. So, we played there and did our first show.

FP: That has to be pretty overwhelming. You moved here and almost immediately you’re playing the big club in town. MM: Oh, I never forgot it. It was awesome. I would go see shows and think, “These guys are gonna know me”… Fugazi played the 40 Watt, and they broke the headstock of their SGs. We saw some unbelievable stuff. Robyn Hitchcock. Stuff like that. The dB’s. I would meet these people after the shows and hand them my cassette, and they’d go, “Whatever, dude.” And years later, I became their friends and wound up playing with a lot of them.

“We killed ourselves trying to make this incredibly personal, quirky record into a national phenomenon, when that was never going to happen.” Everyone wanted to play Athens, so Five Eight would open for anyone that came through. It’s a real small city, and if you were any good, people took notice. FP: Given his writing prowess, is it intimidating to be around Jack Logan? MM: To me, it’s inspiring. I’ve hit a really prolific paydirt. Especially with lyrics. I’ve been writing a ton of lyrics. Not even to keep up, because there’s no way to keep up with someone like that. Just to try to get in touch with what I want to say on the album. When I got laid off after Your God is Dead to Me Now, I started writing poetry, which is a lean-in to the new lyrics. They’re going to be a little more fragmented and a little less narrative. And when they are narrative, they’ll be more poetic. Where [1994’s] Weirdo is more of a dialogue, this will be more visual. FP: The metric for what seems to constitute a successful band these days isn’t the same as when you started. Patrick Ferguson: I don’t have anything nostalgic or good to say about how I thought we were going to be successful in the ‘90s. I was just wrong the whole time. We had this idea that we were going to be the next Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana or Everclear. I mean, those were the bands that were successful at the time, and we were trying to make a record like that.

And we made Weirdo, and we didn’t have it in us… We made an incredibly quirky, personal record, because that’s all we knew how to do. And then we killed ourselves trying to make this incredibly personal, quirky record into a national phenomenon, when that was never going to happen. We had a lot of misconceptions about that, and we burned out. Trying to achieve that ‘90s-band level of success was like trying to land on the head of a pin. FP: Does giving up control of how a record is received help this band find fulfillment? PF: To me, if you’re honest and diligent about your art and approach it from the idea that you are trying to get as close to the truth as you know it, success and failure are beyond your control. They don’t matter. Success and failure are complete illusions… You might make some money. That’s not very likely in this economy, and it doesn’t really matter. Did you make a good record? I used to work for this hippie carpenter who would put the Bhagavad Gita on [audiobook] while I was sanding cabinets. And I used to think, “I just want to get out of here and listen to Minor Threat. I don’t care about this shit at all.” And I hear Krishna… say, “The Brahman is attached to action, not the fruits of action.” And I had this moment where I thought, “Holy shit. That’s why you make music.” It was the most eye-opening experience, and I thought, “No wonder why people read this hippie book. It’s got a lot of good stuff in it.” That’s been my guiding principle ever since. Five Eight doesn’t have any illusions that we’re going to make a platinum record here. But we have to make records, or we are horrible, miserable people. It’s a life obsession that isn’t going to go away. I did two years where I didn’t play any music at all. I tell people, “It’s like malaria. You may not be symptomatic, but you’re still sick.” Dan Mistich

How to Get Ahead in Athens Music

S

ure, you came to Athens for “school,� but we all know why you’re really here. Our music scene is legendary for a reason; we’ve exported more than our share of nationally and globally recognized talent over the years, and the Classic City continues to pump out band after in-demand band. But if you’re thinking of getting involved, it’s not as easy as just strapping on a guitar. We polled a selection of big local names—bands, talent buyers, promoters, studio engineers; basically, folks you’ll need to know—for their advice on how to make it in Athens music.

Joel Hatstat, Cinemechanica/Joel Hatstat Audio • Walk up to people and introduce yourself. “My name is Dan, I have a band called Michelob Detonator that is playing on Friday, we sound a lot like your band, swing by if you want.â€? And leave it at that. • With regards to recording, do the best that you can with the amount of knowledge and gear that you have surrounded yourself with, and be OK with how things turn out. If you are unhappy with the results, do it differently the next time. Making records should always be a dynamic and ongoing learning process. • Mastering should be the last 15 percent of your record, max. Do not turn in some sloppy crud and ask for it to sound like The Mars Volta.

Rachel Bailey, Flagpole writer • Bandcamp and Facebook are not spaces for you to be cheeky. Fill them out thoroughly with correct information (names, instruments, etc.). This may not seem important, but if you want press, you’d be wise to make it easy for a writer to find basic information about you in a convenient way. Same goes for your music. Make it easy to find and up-to-date. Bonus points if you pick a name that’s Google-friendly. • Don’t trash other members of the music community in a public way. This town is small. You WILL make enemies. They WILL hold grudges. • Don’t let your band’s success or failure at garnering attention or making money dictate how you feel about your music and the community you make it in. It will make you hard and bitter and a real pain in the ass, not to mention bankrupt an experience that should be inherently satisfying.

Mike Turner, HHBTM Records • When making show posters, make sure to list band names, venue, date, price and age restriction. Make sure that you can read the poster. Refrain from profanity and nudity; half the places [in town] won’t put them up. • Before pressing something on vinyl, first ask, “Is there a demand?â€? Start out [small]. Make 100 cassettes or CD-Rs, and if you sell all of them, make 100 more. If you can move another 100, you might be ready to press 500 of a 7-inch or LP.

Katie Carmody, Georgia Theatre • Limit your guestlist. Start early and train your friends to pay for tickets. If they are your real friends, they’ll understand the hard work you put into your show and will pay to see you play.

• Be gracious to everyone who assists in the process of putting on the show. The club owners, the production people, the security staff, the box office staff, bartenders, fans, other bands you’re playing with—they remember.

Scott Low, singer-songwriter

• Work hard. Practice. Don’t play in Athens more than once a month, and as fans build, play locally less frequently.

Noelle Shuck, Shehehe • Don’t be a dick. It doesn’t matter how cool you think you are or how amazing your band is. The fact of the matter is that one person in your band being a dick can give your entire band that reputation. • Be willing to share equipment if you’ve got a limited amount of time and you know shit’s gonna be tight. If you saw the way that one drummer abused his kit last time, then maybe find a way around having him play yours. If you’ve got a million rack toms, two kick drums, a gong and chimes, things will be different for you, as well. Though in that case, you should maybe just rethink why the hell you’re using all that.

monthly, semester & annual rates available.

Sienna Chandler, Monsoon • We all play a vital role to the scene, whether we’re stamping hands, running sound, serving drinks, performing or spectating. No one’s role is greater than another’s, so don’t be an asshole. If you absolutely CAN’T help being an asshole due to poor upbringing or circumstances beyond your control, don’t be a drunk asshole. • Tip the bar when you close out at the end of the night, but not before you buy the sound guy a beer. • Always keep five bucks and a Clif bar in your gig bag. The Clif bar will hold you over until you can get to Waffle House for eggs and toast.

UGAParking.com

Family and Friends, local band • Putting on a good live show is essential to growing your fanbase and creating buzz in town. You never look as cool standing still as you think you do. The audience wants to engage with what is on stage. • Be a band on and off the stage. To us, a good band also consists of good people. Never forget that you represent your band with your actions in the community. Be good to others, and they will be good to you.

Troy Aubrey, Foundry Entertainment • Don’t say yes to every opportunity. Be smart about spacing out your plays. You have to work hard to find that right balance between playing too much and not playing enough. • Please don’t try to push talent buyers to book your new band to headline a weekend night. Unless you have a proven draw, then it’s best to work on putting strong bills together with likeminded bands earlier in the week. • On the night of your show, have some common courtesy and be respectful of the venue’s personnel (door staff, venue manager, bartenders, light and sound techs). Copping an attitude rarely gets you anywhere but blackballed. Be a decent human, enjoy the night and just be glad you are playing music in Athens, GA!

threats & promises Music News And Gossip C’mon, Dad!: Athens band Sad Dads has launched a fundraising campaign for its upcoming debut full-length, I’m Doing OK. It’s to be recorded at the venerable Gypsy Farm, mastered at Chase Park Transduction and then released via a short run of cassettes and CDs. The goal is a measly $500, which I’m thinking won’t be anywhere close to what they actually need for this. Even so, it’s gonna be difficult to surpass their creativity in terms of donor benefits. The lowest levels get you music and a shirt, but $25 forces bassist Michael Jefts to eat a raw onion; $50 gets you a free show at a place of your choosing; $100 gives you the right to cancel any existing Sad Dads performance for any reason; give $150, and you can drive member Cameron Evers to any location you like and leave him there for 24 hours (yikes!); $200 will force singer Thomas Bauer to get any tattoo you want on his bottom; and for $300, you get to control the entire band. You can kick people out, add members at will, break them up entirely, whatever. More bands should try this and see what happens. Take a damn risk once in a while, people. Visit Sad Dads Sad Dads online via kickstarter. com/projects/athensdocumentary/save-ourdads and see what you can do. Or go yell at them on facebook.com/saddadstheband. Welcome, Freshmen: You probably know certain segments of the Athens music scene thrive on nothing more than air and absurdity. Now let’s assume you want to get out of your boring old dorm where, let’s face it, everyone else is probably already having a party with people from their own high school. Well, punky, here’s your chance to be all you can be. Head to Hendershot’s Coffee Bar Saturday, Aug. 30 and catch the 8-Track Gorilla. After a long period of retirement, Kenny Aguar is back in his monkey suit and ready to karaoke the hell out of some 8-track classics. No, I’m not kidding: It’s Aguar in a gorilla suit holding a guitar and singing over the top of classic rock jams while they play on old 8-track tapes. Whatever, bro; it’s art. And for those of you already years in the know, congrats on being olds! Also on the bill this night are Jay Gonzalez (Drive-By Truckers) playing his piano-based pop songs and Jacob Morris (Moths) playing more weepy stuff. Neither

one of them is weird in the traditional sense. But that Gorilla sure is. Get down. Give ‘Em the Boot: Longtime songwriter and guitarist Caroline Aiken will conduct a guitar boot camp at Athens Technical College Sept. 8–11 and 15–18. All eight days are included in the fee of $150, and each class is one-anda-half hours long. Class size is limited to 10, so jump on this if you’re interested. There willl be both individual and group instruction, and you’ll have your hands on your guitar the entire time. This course is appropriate for beginning to intermediate guitarists. For more information and to reserve your space, drop a line to Brenda Moody via Bmoody@athenstech.edu.

Public Parking: Promoter Mo Lutz, the brains and brawn behind the listening room at The Hut (aka Pizza Hut on Baxter Street), has joined forces with Memorial Park facility supervisor John McKinney to start the Memorial Park Inaugural Concert Series. The idea is to present a series of shows for the citizens of our town at times, and in a setting, that the average family or individual can enjoy. Further goals of the series are to help local nonprofit organizations, reignite the community spirit of the Athens music scene and renew the idea that good music is for everyone. The series will happen at Memorial Park on select Sundays at 3 p.m. and Fridays at 7 p.m., and will use both indoor and outdoor facilities. Each show will benefit a different nonprofit that addresses “the needs of abused and at-risk children, women and families in need.” The first installment is scheduled for late September and will feature Ike Stubblefield, Caroline Aiken and Natalie Gelman.

the locavore What God Gave Us Editor’s Note: The locally grown movement keeps growing and growing, and this new column will highlight the farmers, entrepreneurs and others who feed Athens with food grown in Athens. “I believe in my vegetables,� says Ethel Collins, the 79-year-old visionary of the West Broad Market Garden, who can be found most any day of the week with her hands deep in the community. Collins has had a lifelong love for produce. She was born and reared on a farm in the Wilkes County town of Rayle, where her parents were sharecroppers. When she was old enough to cook for herself and her parents, she departed from their normal biscuits and gravy and started working vegetables into their meals. She moved to Athens in the early 1950s and has been an active member of the community ever since. Her belief in vegetables took a stronger hold late in life, when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Her doctor suggested that she reevaluate her meal plans to achieve a balanced diet. And it worked. Collins has long since been in remission and attributes her health entirely to the power of eating well.

When Collins caught wind of an organic garden in her Rocksprings neighborhood three years ago, she stopped by to see what she could learn. “What brought me into this garden was the word ‘organic,’� she says. “I wanted to find out what is organic—what’s going on with organic?� At the time, Fenwick Broyard, now the executive director at Community Connection, was running the West Broad Market Garden that she stumbled upon. The half-acre of land is Athens’ first community-based urban farm (soon to be joined by another Athens Land Trust farm in East Athens). Here, produce is Certified Naturally Grown through bio-intensive growing methods like composting and companion planting. Along with his colleagues from the Athens Land Trust, Broyard helped Collins become a fundamental part of the operation, and he taught her how to grow crops organically. As she tells it, “I came in the garden one morning, and I met Fenwick at the gate, and I said to Fenwick, ‘You mean to tell me you take all these weeds and all these vines and all this

lipping through the newly released How to Be Happy, by the Athens-based but nationally renowned artist Eleanor Davis, might not make you shout with joy, but you’ll still enjoy the journey. The 145-page book is full of colorful illustrations and short literary works and tells stories that aren’t happy, exactly— but aren’t sad, either. Davis will discuss her new book at Avid Bookshop Friday, Aug. 22 at 6:30 p.m. “They’re about people who aren’t happy and would like to be happy and are just struggling with universal human concerns,” she says. “And I like to think it’s a little bit funny and a little bit surreal. But some of the stories are kind of sci-fi, some of them are fantasy, some of them are just kind of like modern slice-of-life. It’s a wide variety of stories.” Davis tells Flagpole, “I don’t know if the book is for everybody, and it probably ought to be for everybody. But when people like the book, when they respond to the book, they say that they’ve seen a part of themselves depicted in the book that they’re surprised by. They feel empathy from the book and feel like I’ve said something that they had wanted to say, and that means a lot to me.” A recent NPR review said Davis’ book “dramatizes not the prospect of happiness, but the promise of it. Her natural territory is found in all the funny and tragic effects of that promise.” How to Be Happy is Davis’ third published book, but it’s the first one that’s aimed at adults. Her two other books— Stinky and Secret Science Alliance—are meant for a kid audience. Davis has been drawing since she was a child. “I think that most people draw a lot when they’re kids and then some people stop,” she says. “People who become illustrators are just the ones that don’t stop.” She continued illustrating throughout high school, making various visual zines. “When it was time to figure out where to go to college, I didn’t want to have to go to a real school, so I went to art school,” she jokes. About her time at the Savannah College of Art and Design, she says, “It’s not a very competitive school, but you know, it means you have a lot of freedom to do what you want, and I definitely needed that freedom.” While attending SCAD, Davis met her husband, who was a fellow illustrator. Having been to the Fluke comics festival in Athens, an annual event that showcases independent regional artists, Davis and her husband “knew there was a cool community” of creators here. “When you live in Savannah and you’re a

young person, everybody just complains about how it’s not Athens all the time,” she says, adding that she appreciates the affordability and community that Athens fosters. “It’s definitely a more music-centric town, rather than the visual arts,” she says. Still, she adds, “we have a small group of friends who are super passionate and talented [making] comics. So, we get together and support each other, and that’s awesome.” Davis marked the new book’s release with an intimate potluck celebration at BizarroWuxtry last Friday. But even though she works in a small college town, Davis hasn’t had any trouble finding success beyond its borders. “I think, with the Internet, people don’t care quite as much as they used to. Most of my friends in illustration live in New York or Portland or Los Angeles… They do get more work than me,” she says, but “the cost of living is so much more expensive there that I think it all evens out. I have a nice house here and try to work on my own stuff. I think it is getting more and more unimportant to live in New York. And honestly, a lot of people think I do live in New York. Everybody just assumes that all illustrators do… Everybody just communicates over email, anyway.” Beyond books and comics, Davis has also contributed to Google Doodles—the drawings on the search engine’s homepage—creating the doodle for the 2014 spring equinox. “That was really exciting. It was a great job to get. I made images for summer, and fall and winter as well, so hopefully those will be running,” she says. “The summer one got bumped by the World Cup.” Asked if she has advice for other artists striving for success, Davis offers a common response. “You have to be online. You have to have a website. It doesn’t have to be fancy,” she says, adding that being active on social media is a must. “The Internet is where people expect to find artists. And if you’re not on the Internet, then you’re really doing yourself a huge disservice.” Above all: “Do your best work, and people will respond to it.” David Schick

The drama reveals the hidden emotions and veiled motivations of Emma (played by Terrell Austin), her husband Robert (Steve Elliott-Gower) and her lover Jerry (Allen Rowell), who is also Robert’s close friend. Local musician and actor Michael Brewer also makes an appearance. The nine short scenes move in reverse chronological order, beginning after the affair has ended and closing with the initial encounter that set it into motion, highlighting pivotal events along the way with Pinter’s typically spare but telling dialogue.

The event’s inspiration draws heavily from, and is arguably a bastardization of, the Hindu religious holiday Holi, a spring festival celebrating love and the changing season during which the streets become a free-for-all zone for covering each other in coats of color. This is a family-friendly event, with ages 7–12 costing $25 and children under six admitted for free. Runners are encouraged to wear white to best show off the rainbow.
