Disposing of an old refrigerator at Flagpole recently reminded me of a similar experience in New York. Burned out with graduate school, I got a job at a real estate firm in the Village.

My first day out on the job, I left the office with a guy named Doug in an old white Ford Econoline van and drove the three blocks to the Chock Full O’ Nuts on 7th Avenue, precursor to today’s coffee shops. In spite of my compulsive apprehension that we were on the clock and supposed to be working, I sat down beside Doug and sipped a coffee and ate a cruller, while expecting our boss to come bursting in before I could see the bottom of my cup. He didn’t, and once Doug decided our coffee break had been fulfilled, we headed out to the top floor of one of the Grove Street properties to change out a refrigerator. Doug’s method of accomplishing this change-out was to remove the (heavy) defunct refrigerator on a dolly to the top of the stairs and give it a push. To my horror and Doug’s cackling, the former refrigerator pounded down the stairs to the landing, scarring banisters, carpets and walls as it plunged. At the landing, the process was repeated until the leaking carcass lay in the foyer, whereupon we grabbed it and escorted it into the van. The replacement refrigerator would be delivered by whatever purveyor had agreed to a rock-bottom price and perhaps a kickback.

ďƒŻ facebook feedback ďƒ° “I hope it works out for Uber because, as we all know, the taxi services in this town are absolutely loathsome.â€? — David Clark Comments are up and running on flagpole.com! Play nice.

Thus did we use up the day cruising the Village streets with free range among the quaintest, hippest real estate in the city.

(I have ever since remembered the mailbox card at one of our addresses that read simply, “Torn Page,� where the actors Rip and Geraldine resided.)

My mind was freed from the shackles of undone work. In the Village I was far from the inquiring intelligences demanding my comparison of Husserl and Heidegger. My spirits lifted; energy returned. Doug’s violent whacking of the Gordian knot trumped Professor Dean’s analyses—he who was later promoted to become Dean Dean, as if he were a character in Catch 22.

Soon, I was swaggering around the Village with free entry all over, from Perry Street to Barrow, Charles to Hudson. Doug drove the old van with an abandon that challenged even the taxi drivers, and I learned to relax and enjoy the ride, rapid and scary though it was and without seat belts.

When we had collected a sufficient number of old stoves and refrigerators, we then had the problem of what to do with them. City dumps would not accept them, and the only legal way to dispose of them was to pay large sums to the city at special landfill pickup points. To avoid those charges, Doug’s plan was to drive into the dump and unload the stuff as fast as we could. I had a better idea. I got in the back of the van, with the appliances between me and the unlatched side door.

Doug drove up to the municipal dump, into the front gate and sped toward the dump site. At the last minute, he spun the wheel to the left and shouted, “Kick!� As the side doors flew open, I held onto the van railing and kicked all our surplus kitchen aids out onto the pile that flashed by. As sanitation workers ran after us cursing, Doug floorboarded the old van, and we humped it back out the entrance onto the street and around the corner, where Doug could hardly drive for laughing.

I laughed, too.

city dope Greenway Plans Meet Resistance Could objections by homeowners derail plans to expand local greenway trails?

Longstanding plans would eventually extend the present North Oconee River Greenway in both directions, build the socalled Firefly Trail to Winterville and begin construction of a new greenway trail along the Middle Oconee River centered on Ben Burton Park. Athens-Clarke Commissioners will be asked to approve a concept map for the new trails on Oct. 7, along with shorter connections to other planned and existing trails.

No exact routes have been planned yet for any of the new trails—that could take years, county Manager Alan Reddish told commissioners last week at a work session. “There are a lot of moving parts” in planning and building such trails: negotiating with property owners along the routes, which include not only homeowners but also UGA, the federal government and a cemetery, he said. While local government has the legal authority to force private property owners to sell their land for a public use, it has never exercised that authority to build trails, preferring instead to negotiate voluntary agreements. Sometimes this has meant departing from a preferred route.

Reddish said some of the new trails might be finished by the time current sales-tax collections run out in 2020; others will likely need additional funding, perhaps from a future SPLOST. If commissioners approve the concept plans, “this is when you really start to get into where on the ground the trail is going

to go,” Leisure Services park planner Kevan Williams said.

But several homeowners in the River Oaks subdivision off College Station and Riverbend Road appear to be panicked by the prospect of the North Oconee Greenway being extended through their subdivision. (Presently, the trail ends near Oconee Street, but would be extended south along the river to the State Botanical Garden.) A homeowner who phoned Commissioner Kathy Hoard “was virtually in tears,” Hoard said, because he thought the trail would take 10 feet of his front yard.

That was news to Reddish, who said no such specifics had been decided. “We’re nowhere near that kind of discussion,” he said. “That’s somewhere way out in the future.”

Hoard suggested removing that section of the trail from the concept map. Mayor Nancy Denson agreed, saying that River Oaks residents had “expressed displeasure” with trail plans as far back as 1988, and she wanted a plan the whole community could buy into.

Reddish agreed to come up with alternatives for the commission to choose from at their next voting meeting, but noted that commissioners had already approved the general plans 10 years before and warned that changing the route might be expensive. “It’s certainly the most direct route,” he said.

No public input was taken at last week’s work session, but seven public hearings have been held on the greenway plans in the past two years, Williams told the commissioners.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ SEPTEMBER 17, 2014

Doesn’t the North Oconee River Greenway look like an awful thing to have near your backyard?

“We really tried to get this map out into the community,” he said. He told Flagpole that he was aware of the concerns of some residents, and that an informational meeting was held in the River Oaks subdivision last month for that reason; sentiments had run from support to opposition. The proposed route was originally suggested by a River Oaks resident, he added.

The greenway concept map that commissioners will be asked to approve is on the county’s website. It shows 14 miles of “high priority” new trails: • extending the present greenway north along the river to Newton Bridge Road, as well as south to the State Botanical Garden.

• building the first phase of the proposed Middle Oconee River Greenway, which would extend along that branch of the river in both

directions from Ben Burton Park (north to the train trestle and south to historic bridge abutments on the river).

• building the Firefly Trail along former railroad tracks to Winterville.

• a side trail to the county’s historic 80-acre Beech Haven property off Atlanta Highway.

Canoe access facilities would also be built on the North Oconee, and several shorter connecting trails would be built between existing trails and downtown Athens. As more detailed plans are made, costs for all the trails will become clearer, Williams told Flagpole, but the shorter connecting trails will probably be built first, with existing sales-tax money. At least some of the longer trails will require additional funds. [John Huie]

capitol impact Battle of the Ballot In our system of government where citizens elect those who will make the decisions for them, voter registration and the casting of ballots are the fundamental elements of democracy. For more than a decade, there has been a battle between Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political parties over how that fundamental right should be regulated.

Republicans have made the path to the ballot box more difficult by passing laws that require voters to show photo ID. They say these restrictions are necessary to prevent fraud. Democrats contend that the roadblocks are intended to discourage minorities from exercising their right to cast a ballot.

This partisan fight boiled over last week, just eight weeks prior to the general election. First Lady Michelle Obama made a campaign visit to Atlanta and urged Democrats to work harder at registering voters who might be the difference in close races this fall for governor and the U.S. Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These races are going to be unbelievably tight,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: We have all the votes we need right now to win these races, if we get folks registered and if we got them out to vote in November.â&#x20AC;?

Three counties with significant percentages of black residents disclosed they will hold an early day of voting on a Sunday: Fulton, DeKalb and Lowndes. The intent is that persons would be able to attend church, then cast an early ballotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;souls to the polls.â&#x20AC;?

Republicans pushed back against these attempts to register and vote more people. State Sen. Fran Millar (R-Dunwoody) denounced the plan for Sunday voting as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blatantly partisan moveâ&#x20AC;? and vowed to introduce legislation to terminate the practice. Gov. Nathan Deal said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of Sunday voting either: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anything that has to do with elections should be tilted one way or the other for partisan purposes.â&#x20AC;?

Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a Republican whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of elections, accused a voter registration group, the New Georgia Project, of voter fraud and launched an investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not going to put up with fraud,â&#x20AC;? Kemp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have zero tolerance for that in Georgia. This is not about politics, this is about potential fraud.â&#x20AC;?

House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D-Atlanta) founded the New Georgia Project last year to increase voter registration among minority groups. She acknowledged some of the voter registration forms collected had mistakes, but said those were handed over to the state elections office along with the properly administered applications in an effort to be transparent about the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked very cooperatively with the Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office,â&#x20AC;?

Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They reviewed our training manual, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to our staff. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons I was so shocked to get the [Kemp] subpoena.â&#x20AC;?

The belief among Republicans is that they can more easily win Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races for governor and senator if they can minimize efforts to register and turn out minority voters, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem: It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked very well in other states. In 2012, several states enacted restrictive voting laws in an effort to hold down black turnout and help Mitt Romney in the presidential election. Black voters turned out anyway in the swing states, and President Barack Obama was re-elected.

Kemp may be provoking a similar blowback among Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black citizens if he continues his attacks on voter registration groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of voter suppression echoes in a very painful way in the African American community,â&#x20AC;? said the Rev. Rafael Warnock, pastor of Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ebenezer Baptist Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People take great unction to the notion that their right to the ballot would be taken away.â&#x20AC;?

Food Network’s Alton Brown Brings Live Show to Athens

A

lton Brown has come a long way from delivering pizzas in Athens.

The Food Network star was a theater major at the University of Georgia in the early 1980s, first learning to cook because he couldn’t afford to take a girl to a restaurant on a date. After leaving school (he didn’t earn his degree until 2004), Brown had a decadelong career as a music-video and commercial cameraman and cinematographer, even working on R.E.M.’s “The One I Love” video when an artist friend introduced him to Michael Stipe.

The amateur cook turned pro in 1998. Tired of watching subpar cooking shows, he went to culinary school and, upon graduating, put together the pilot for “Good Eats,” a groundbreaking program that blended explanations of the science of cooking with a Monty Pythonesque sense of the absurd. He went on to be the play-by-play announcer for the gonzo chef competition “Iron Chef America” for four seasons, create “Feasting on Asphalt,” a six-part miniseries about road food, and appear as a mentor on the “The Next Food Network Star,” among other TV gigs.

Brown currently hosts the reality show “Cutthroat Kitchen,” which is about to start filming its fifth season in Los Angeles. But first, he’s embarking on the first leg of a live tour that kicks off Oct. 21 in Athens. His twohour stage show is a family-friendly blend of stand-up comedy, music (sample song title: “Airport Shrimp Blues”), education, puppetry and who knows what else. (Cryptically, he warns that people in the first few rows will be issued ponchos, suggesting, perhaps, a few Gallagher-style stunts?)

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting classiccenter.com, calling 706-357-4444 or going to the Classic Center box office at 300 N. Thomas St from 10 a.m.–6 p.m Monday–Friday and 9 a.m–1 p.m.

Saturday. Tickets mostly range from $38–58, although a $105 premium package includes prime seats, a meet-and-greet with Brown and a signed photo.

Brown recently spoke to Flagpole about his college days, changes in the TV business and “Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour.”

Flagpole: Being a former theater major, do you feel like this live show is going back to your roots?

Alton Brown: I don’t like to think of it as going back. I’ve been doing live things for 15 years. It’s always been a pretty big part of what I do. This is just the first time I’ve been able to put it together into a road show, a traveling venture.

FP: What can people expect?

AB: I like to call it a culinary variety show.

There is a little bit of everything. If you have an interest in food at all—heck, if you only have an interest in science or sock puppets— there will be something in it for you. There’ll be live music. I’ll perform some of my food songs. There are puppets. There are very large, very strange demonstrations, audience interaction. There’s one section that’s kind a multimedia comedy thing. There’s a lot. I have a hard time getting it done in two hours.

FP: It sounds like an expanded version of “Good Eats.”

AB: Well, let’s put it this way, if you’re a “Good Eats” fan, you’ll recognize the DNA. This is the traveling variety show cousin, I guess. There are things I never did on TV, songs and things like that. But if you are a “Good Eats” fan, I do not think you’ll be disappointed.

FP: Why are you doing this as a live show instead of a TV show?

AB: Like I said, I’ve always done live performances, speeches and things like that, and I really love the live audience vibe. It’s so completely different from TV work. TV, at the end of the day, you’re tired, and with the live show, you have more energy at the end of the day than you did when you started, because you get energy from the audience.

I’m a perfectionist, and every night on a tour like this, you get a chance to try to do it perfect again. And you can never get it perfect, but you can come close sometimes. And that’s just a real thrill.

And there are a lot of things that don’t work on TV that do work in a live format— things that require an audience to participate.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ SEPTEMBER 17, 2014

At least in my own TV work, 90 percent of what I do on television is very, very planned out, very, very premeditated. A lot of things in this show, especially with the audience interaction, the volunteers that come up and whatnot, I’ve got no idea what’s going to happen.

FP: Going back to your time at UGA, where were some of the places you liked to eat?

AB: I was poor. In fact, you ask me why I got into cooking at all—I had a very, very pathetic social life and couldn’t afford to take girls out to dinner, so I learned how to cook so I could stretch my dollars more, so I could get better dates out of it.

So, you know, classic places like The Grill, Taco Stand. I worked at Sons of Italy. I would eat wherever I could scrounge a meal, get somebody else to pay for it.

FP: What about now, where do you go when you’re in Athens, and how has the food scene changed?

AB: First off, there is a food scene. In the ‘80s, there wasn’t a food scene. There were just places where you got food.

I’ll admit, I’m usually there for only one evening. I’m probably going to go to Hugh [Acheson]’s place because I know Hugh, and I like Hugh, and I like his food. But I will say this—I’m very fortunate that the relaunch of the tour starts in Athens, so I’m going to be there for four whole days, and I plan to spend a lot of my free time getting re-acquainted.

Part of me wants Athens to be the same way it was in the ‘80s, and part of me is shy about going there because it’s changed so much, and every time I go, I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to recognize it or find my way around. It used to be that I could draw a map of Athens from memory because I delivered pizzas for years there, so I knew every road, every back road, every cut-through driveway in town. Now, when I go, I’m not even sure I can get around anymore.

FP: Why did you choose to start the tour in Athens?

AB: Part of it came down to the availability of the Classic Center. I wanted to play in Athens if I had the opportunity to. It was the

kind of thing where it floated around on the first part of the schedule, and then we realized that it was going to be a lot more reasonable to make it the very first show of the relaunch, which is great for me because it means I’m going to be in Athens for several days, instead of just one night, because we’ll rebuild the show and rehearse for a day, because I haven’t done the show since mid-April, I guess, so it gives me time. I’m making changes to the show, which I do every leg.

FP: Having gone from “Good Eats” to “Iron Chef” to “Cutthroat Kitchen,” have you seen a shift away from educational cooking shows to competitions?

AB: Yeah, it’s the trend of the last five years. There are only so many eyeballs out there, and what research shows and ratings show is what people want to watch is competition shows and long-story-arc shows like “Breaking Bad.” That’s what people want to watch, and so that’s what networks make.

My constituency is very much wanting more than that, which is why I’ve been putting new stuff up on YouTube. I did a 14-episode web series during the summer. I try to feed my fans what they want, which is a little more education mixed in with their entertainment. That’s certainly my brand. It’s something that next year, I’m planning on putting a lot of effort into doing, but it’ll be web-based, digitalbased, not on networks.

I think it’s just too difficult to pull that off anymore. “Good Eats” was the last prime-time cooking show made and aired in America, and I pulled it because I was tired of making it after 14 years. I don’t know that there will be a resurgence of that in network television, but I’m not a network television executive, so it’s not for me to say.

Organic Flowers The allure of organic food is obvious at this point. The industry has seen exponential growth in the last 25 years, making the shift from being fringe to being the golden standard. Although there is no mystery in organic food, organic floriculture has been somewhat slower on the uptake. But progressive farmers Mandy and Steve Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea think there is no other way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flower industry is in the early stages of that transformation. People are starting to connect the dots and realize that the industry is off-balance and toxic,â&#x20AC;? says Steve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are beginning to see the value in sustainable floriculture and are getting excited at the nearly unlimited potential expansion in creativity and beauty that results when everything growing in your garden, woods, roadside, swamp etc. becomes fodder for your imagination and paint for your canvas.â&#x20AC;?

An interest in floriculture grew alongside their early farming endeavors. While work-

arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permitted to arrive carrying diseases that would threaten domestic flowers or people. If even one of a large shipment of flowers arrives with the sign of nematodes, grubs, mites, mildews or diseases, the whole batch will often be thrown out. This is financially disastrous to both the grower and the buyer.

To avoid losing business and money, many flower growers internationally and domestically coat their flowers with pesticides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to the poisons put in the soil to kill grubs, nematodes and mites, and the ones sprayed on the leaves to kill caterpillars, aphids and thrips, and the ones sprayed to kill powdery mildew and botrytis, there are even poisons applied after the flowers are harvested,â&#x20AC;? says Steve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The roses that you buy at any given store in the U.S. were most likely completely dipped in a barrel of poison right before shipping. It is common practice.

Makes you think twice about taking a bath in rose petals.â&#x20AC;?

9WadY[SĂ&#x192;e A^VWef ISfWdTWV EfadW Mandy and Steve Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea ing on an olive farm in San Francisco years ago, Mandy was responsible for creating daily arrangements for the estate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had 80 acres of gorgeous landscaping and gardens to play with, and it forced me to be creative and to always experiment with every botanically and texturally interesting plant and flower that grew on that property,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My love for foraging really started there.â&#x20AC;?

Later, she moved home to Georgia with Steve, and they began 3 Porch Farm. On their farm, the two work hard to find means of farming that are sustainable, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led the agriculture movement in Athens towards organic and naturally grown practices.

Although they grow many staple crops for the area, the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sheaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have also been innovative in bringing new things to the market.

They create many value-added products, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve branched into flowers as another way to expand the local industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we began our own farming endeavor in Georgia, we began to play more with flowers.

As the years have progressed, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remained vigilant about taking the broad view of our life and our farm, and those check-in sessions have led us more and more into flowers,â&#x20AC;? says Mandy.

Most of the flowers sold in the United States are imported from other countries. In order to pass through customs inspections, the flowers have to arrive in pristine healthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they

On top of growing flowers to sell in bulk, Mandy and Steve have launched Moonflower Design, a floral design studio in which their organically grown flowers are arranged for occasions like weddings or for restaurant dĂŠcor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have a creative outlet is very important to both of us, and floral design allows us to have that outlet,â&#x20AC;? says Mandy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also see the need to be a part of this movement. The expansion of domestically grown organic flowers is starting to take hold, and we want to help further the cause in North Georgia.â&#x20AC;?

Growing organically is not without challenges. Currently, Steve and Mandy are battling tarnished plant bugs, Japanese beetles, powdery mildew, aphids, thrip bugs, caterpillars, spider-mites, potato beetles, flea beetles and five different kinds of grasshoppers, to name a few. With these kinds of road bumps, they can understand the appeal of spraying down plants with synthetic pesticides and fungicides, especially considering that without these powerful chemicals they lose anywhere from 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;85 percent of a crop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see the allure of chemical agriculture when you lose a crop to pathogens of any sort,â&#x20AC;? says Steve, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have a strong sense of responsibility that keeps us moving in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?

What makes Magic in the Moonlight worthwhile despite the fact that many of Allen’s trademarks are missing is that Firth and Stone generate an odd chemistry in their May-December romance and that the historical setting gives Allen a canvas to play this farce out with a dash of continental style.

Firth is wonderful yet frustrating as the cynical and dour magician, and Stone gives one of her most entrancing yet glancing performances so far.

Stop & ‘Swap

A Colorado Nonprofit Helps Athens Connect

O

utside press on Athens tends to focus on our music scene—only, it’s the scene of decades ago. A few big names—Modern Skirts, Drive-By Truckers, of Montreal—have kept up the Classic City rep since the days of R.E.M. and the B-52’s. But those success stories are few and far between, and although the local music community continues to thrive, bands seem to have to leave town to make a name for themselves.

Some local leaders say it’s because Athens lacks a strong support network for musicians, as well as key industry connections to the outside world. To address these issues, a group of local artists and supporters, with the help of a Colorado-based nonprofit, are promoting two events this weekend to make connections with music communities across the nation.

“We have this legacy, but it doesn’t highlight how much we have going on still today,” says Michelle Davis, an artist advocate and former Flagpole music editor who has been active in the Athens and Atlanta music scenes for over a decade. “Any opportunity to put the spotlight on Athens is great.”

While interning with the Future of Music Coalition in Washington, D.C., last fall, Davis heard about a Colorado group called SpokesBUZZ that worked to link bands across the country to make the touring process easier.

“I’ve always felt strongly that Athens needs to be on the national map,” she says. “The local music community needs more opportunities to branch out and have contact with all areas, especially the West Coast.”

So, Athens joined BandSwap, SpokesBUZZ’s cultural exchange program, which pairs bands from small-market cities around the country to create a national network of touring opportunities and link bands to new fans. Host cities feature their own shows at the end of September and send representatives to Colorado to play the BandSwap Homecoming festival the first weekend in October.

Athens is one of nine cities this year, alongside Charleston, SC; Chico, CA; Denver and Fort Collins, CO; Lafayette, LA; Madison, WI; Nashville, TN; and Portland, OR. On Friday, Sept. 19, Athens Intensified will help kick off the BandSwap activities at Hendershot’s with SyncroniCITY, a panel discussion and mixer focused on indie touring. It will feature David Barbe, from Chase Park Transduction and UGA’s Music Business Program; Coley Dennis, Maserati guitarist; Alyssa Dehayes, of Riot Act Publicity and Arrowhawk Records; and Mike Turner, of HHBTM Records and Crashing Through Publicity.

The event is free but requires an RSVP. Saturday, Athens’ k i d s will play the Caledonia Lounge with Denver-based pop group Eldren, a seven-person band that infuses psych-pop and electro rock with acoustic introspection.

As self-proclaimed of Montreal superfans, Eldren already has a “to-do” list of spots to hit in Athens.

The overall goal of BandSwap is to highlight what nurtures each city’s creative climate and tell a story about each unique music scene, says SpokesBUZZ founder Dani Grant.

“We spent a lot of time learning from the musicians who are part of our organization and found out how difficult the linear touring model is, [where it] takes five to 10 years to develop a great fan base,” says Grant. “There’s a breakdown that happens during touring, and we want to show the benefits of sharing your fanbase and sharing the stage.”

In Athens, Davis set up meetings with the Athens-Clarke County Commission, Athens Downtown Development Authority, Team Clermont and UGA’s Music Business Program. After a nomination period, Flagpole named k i d s as this year’s featured band.

“Overall, I think Athens has the most specific and unique sound compared to the other cities on the list,” says k i d s guitarist Jared Collins. “We have that pop aspect, with a ‘60s rock mix and a lot of noisy parts. I think BandSwap is into it, and we’re looking forward to showing the other bands what it’s like here.”

The group is also looking forward to its Colorado engagements: k i d s was initially booked for a small venue at the Homecoming, but as festival plans fell into place, BandSwap representatives moved them into a larger space and added a second show during the weekend.

Collins agrees that Athens music could benefit from stronger outside connections. “When I first started working at a venue in town, people would hit me up for shows, and I was excited to book them. But then the venue wouldn’t promote it, they’d show up, and I’d feel terrible,” he says. “In general, Athens should support touring bands more, and I think this event sheds light on that type of thing and how we should treat them.”

Across the country, different BandSwap cities will feature unique aspects of their scene at their respective host shows, such as farm-to-table cuisine and craft beer. To Collins—one of the forces behind the new art space and music venue Noun Factory—this weekend’s overall focus is to show Athens as an

artistic community. To wit, k i d s is planning visuals to accompany their set Saturday.

BandSwap goes beyond simply engaging the music scene in each host city, encouraging local governments, cultural associations and academic institutions to be involved in the planning process. Grant hopes this will open up the conversation about supporting music.

“If we can have more discussions with municipalities, they can see the economic development benefits of supporting artists in various ways,” she says. “Let’s talk about why the music scene is important, and why it’s valuable for the city to support it.”

That’s particularly true for smaller cities where the industry and infrastructure can’t typically take bands from garage to label, adds Davis. “We’re at the stage where we have a great artist community, but aren’t New York City or Los Angeles,” she says. “There’s a benefit to reaching out and pooling resources with other music towns, and geographically, Athens is in a good place to offer a lot to touring bands.”

Davis and Grant want this year’s first-time event to spark a conversation, with the hope that next year, more community members can help out by booking shows, brainstorming additional events and joining as sponsors.

“When all the bands come back to Colorado for Homecoming, they spend a lot of time together and talk about the same struggles they’re all facing,” Grant says. “We’ve already seen [BandSwap] bands go on tour together or record together. We want someone in Athens to be able to call up someone in Fort Collins or Portland and set up a tour.”

chilled-out atmosphere the group brings to the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about trying to create the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Real Estate soundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when writing songs,â&#x20AC;? says Courtney, who takes a moment to think before rewording his answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we do definitely have an aesthetic, but I think that just comes from us playing together for so long. There are certain styles that come from each member when we write songs separately that we try to mold into a certain, consistent tone when we get in the studio together.â&#x20AC;?

When reflecting on the current tour, Courtney is in higher spirits than the themes on Atlas might suggest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good. We went into this not wanting to do much touring, because on the last record we toured a lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun, though.â&#x20AC;?

Not that there havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been hardships. In addition to a particularly tiring showcase at SXSW, Courtney describes the difficulties of working the festival circuit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a part of the tour in Europe, and it was all festivals, so we were in a plane every single day. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in and out of planes going to a bunch of festivals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of craziness, we get tired of it sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

But the band members are big fans of Athens, and while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played hundreds of shows since, their last performance here still lingers on their minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like Athens a lot,â&#x20AC;? says Courtney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually thought about moving there. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anybody there, though. I wish I did. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all excited to go back. It was a conscious choice to play 40 Watt again; we were still talking about our last show there months after the fact. For this tour, we were going back and forth between that and the Georgia Theatre, but we thought, at least for now, playing the 40 Watt again would make for a better show.â&#x20AC;?

And for anyone worried about the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy level, Courtney says you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to fret. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow, we tend to play better shows when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re jet-laggedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as long as the audience can help get our energy up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that this show will be one of our best.â&#x20AC;?

this point, no one could blame Real Estate for feeling burned out. In the last six years, the acclaimed New Jersey-based indie rock band has released three albums, one EP and toured extensively around the world. For a group known for a peaceful and breezy aesthetic, it gets very little time to sit back and relax.

Real Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Atlas, is full of subtle (and a few not-so-subtle) hints that the touring life might just be starting to get to them. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sad delivery of the line, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting any closer/ Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too many miles awayâ&#x20AC;? from album opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talking Backwardsâ&#x20AC;? or the homesick love-note hook on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had to Hear,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to sense that fatigue is setting in.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that same sense of weariness that makes Atlas Real Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most interesting release to date. The band may be tired, but they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given up on music. Even so, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense that, like many in the entertainment industry, the members of Real Estate have put their personal lives on hold to make other people happy; the down-but-not-out persistence of Atlas is a testament to their resolve.

Now, in the seventh month of a near-constant 2014 touring cycle, Real Estate returns to Athens. On the heels of the critical success of Days, their previous full-length, singer and guitarist Martin Courtney says he had a humble if not slightly cynical view of their return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tend to be on the more pessimistic side when thinking about this kind of stuff,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went into this album process just kind of hoping that people even wanted a new record from us: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so long since Days came out, I hope people even still care about usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

Despite Courtneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hesitation, Atlas has been the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-selling and most wellreceived album of its career. Courtney admits the album could appear to some as more commercial-friendly or pop-conscious than the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had way more songs to pick from going into this recordâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we whittled it down from 17 songs to 10. I really wanted it to be 10 songs. I think the songs are maybe a little more stand-alone single-ish this time around, but we still went into this thinking foremost about how it would work as a whole album.â&#x20AC;?

Part of the reason for the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, no doubt, is because while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to find a lot of bands that try their best to sound like Real Estate these days, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one else out there who can really recreate the perpetually

art notes Local Color The flurry of student exit shows held at the UGA Lamar Dodd School of Art near the end of the semester are widely popular, yet the Dodd Galleries also host plenty of other exhibitions throughout the year. Four new shows which opened this past Friday—“Local Color,” “Menagerie,” “PhotoTopos1” and “Suspended Preservatives”—present the works of both established and emerging, as well as local and non-local artists.

Artist in Residence: During his monthlong residence at Lamar Dodd, visiting artist and Los Angeles-based sculptor Ry Rocklen submerged himself into developing ceramic works begun previously this year, as well as experimenting with new pieces that will inform future projects. His exhibition, “Local Color,” presents scaled-down furniture constructed out of holographic and faux-marble trophies, as well as a collection of porcelain tiles made from textiles.

After folding, molding and casting his entire wardrobe in porcelain—creating texturally-detailed yet monochrome white replicas— Rocklen moved on to other everyday objects like monitor screens, flattened tin cans and slices of pizza. “The porcelain casts are meant to communicate a sense of stillness and infinite time,” says Rocklen. “The objects are all super familiar, yet their material has been transformed.”

Though ruined in the process, the items were essentially given permanent, albeit

fragile, life—changing their function from utilitarian to a form of portraiture. “I hope the viewer is able to experience the object outside of its relationship to them in particular,” says Rocklen. “To see clothes as things not worn, but adored or imagined.”

Wild Weaving: In “Menagerie,” UGA MFA candidate in textiles Zipporah Thompson presents an eclectic exploration of the metaphysical through the material world.

Animal hide-like tapestries of thick wool hung beside delicate paper collages suggest contemplations on tribalism, heritage, race and the fragility of life.

“Recently, I’ve experienced a number of peculiar dreams and encounters involving certain animals,” says Zipporah Thompson Thompson. “Borrowing from the beliefs and folklore of my African and American Indian ancestors, I hope to make sense of my own personal dream world, meanwhile exploring ideas of the human psyche and unconscious. The works included are

concerned with spirituality, ritual, death and the afterlife, human and animal relationships and primitivism.”

Working within a wide range of organic materials and found objects like wool, fibers, animal bones, clay, handmade paper and wax, Thompson’s work embodies a deep connectedness to nature.

“My strict upbringing was one in which free time was usually restricted to reading, playing outdoors at home or on our family land, and other quiet activities,” says Thompson. “This environment caused me to simultaneously fall in love with the outdoors and with collecting things. I have been an avid collector, gatherer and forager since then.”

A lunchtime talk with Thompson will be held on Thursday, Oct. 2 at 12 p.m.

Place of Light: “PhotoTopos1,” organized by Associate Professor of Art Asen Kirin, is the first edition of a new photography biennial for the school and contemplates ideas surrounding site and place.

Through the work of three local artists— unpopulated interiors

by Rinne Allen, an elaborate self-portrait consisting of images of cameras used over the past four decades by Michael Lachowski and happenstance portraits of randomly-encountered Athenians by Carl Martin—the exhibition deliberately fragments a sense of place

into interiors, objects and figures. This invites viewers to consider the ways in which photographers can offer new perceptions of physical environments through the images they create.

Though Allen’s series of interior spaces appear slightly lonesome in their stillness without the physical presence of inhabitants, they retain strong identity through their unique customizations and worn, lived-in appearance. She collaborates regularly with other artists and often documents the works of others through her photography.

“They are all spaces that I have used as backdrops for other creative projects, so they are almost like recurring characters in my work,” says Allen. “I do not include many people in my work; instead, these interior spaces are my characters.”

Kirin will lead Artists in Conversation on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 6 p.m.

Material World: “Suspended Preservatives,” a collaboration between UGA MFA candidate Jessica Machacek and University of Kansas MFA candidate Ella Weber, attempts to explore the presence of everyday objects through a collection of mixed-media sculptures and photography. The duo, who both received their BFAs from the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska, reflects on themes of overconsumption and superficial realities by juxtaposing found and fabricated materials. A lunchtime talk with Machacek will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 12 p.m.

The Dodd Galleries are open to the public every Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. The exhibitions will remain on view through Thursday, Oct. 9, after which another four exhibitions will go on display.

beloved, roots-focused â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radio Thrift Shopâ&#x20AC;? program on Jersey indie radio bastion WFMU for over a decade, and embarking on a critically acclaimed music career of her own in the process.

All the bands playing Hi-Lo Tuesday share a clear love of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s punk and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s grunge, but each act incorporates those influences in different ways. Seattle rockers Murmurs augment their restless, reckless, palm-muted pop-punk instrumentation with guttural but melodic vocals, a dirtier version of early grunge godfathers like Screaming Trees. Athens outfit Shehehe continues to hone its arena-inspired, common-denominator punk assault, and locals Cancers harness the vicious slack-rock energy of the post-grunge Pacific Northwest and crank that shit up to infinity. Which is all to say: Wear earplugs, please. [GV]

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Quitting Time

FRIday, september 19

THE ORANGE CONSTANT

decline any invitation that wouldn’t be more fun than your nonprofit or beer drinking work.

I have a full-time job, which is fine and more than pays the bills. I also have two other organizations I’m part of. I’m on the board of a nonprofit that does work I really believe in (and I like the other people involved in said nonprofit). I’m also part of this group that is strictly for fun—kind of a low key, adult sports team (with lots of beer drinking). I really enjoy my activities outside of work, but I’m constantly rushing from work to one of those things. Or, I’m missing something I like because I’m working late. Or, I’m trying to find time during my workday to get a few things crossed off my nonprofit board to-do list. Or (most of the time) I’m feeling guilty about not doing more for the nonprofit. I know the solution is just to do less and slow down, but there’s no way I can quit my job, and I hate the fact that I’d have to quit something I enjoy because work takes up too much of my time and energy.

Rhonda, if you could put just four or five more hours in the day, I’d appreciate it.

Stretched Thin

SATURday, september 20

My wife and I have a 15-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son. Our 15-year-old got her permit the day she turned 15. (She insisted.

Apparently, making her wait even two days would have been child abuse.) She won’t turn 16 and be eligible for a license for 10 more months, but she’s already asking about getting her own car. My wife and I both work, and having a third driver with a car would be a tremendous help. We can afford to get her a car, and my wife and I are talking about it—not a new luxury car, but something reliable and safe. My wife wants my daughter to pay for the car, but there’s no way a 15-year-old can make enough money for a car. And, since she’ll be helping out by running errands and driving her brother places, doesn’t it make sense that we provide the vehicle for her to do that? To be honest, my wife and I are both looking forward to some freedom from the constant chauffeuring we do now, and I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.

Sorry, friend. If I could put more hours in the day, I would have done it a long time ago, so I’d have more time to go to Agua Linda, take naps, and catch up on Season 1 of “Party The most important thing for you to do, DD, is instill in your daughter (and son, when Down South.” (Those back episodes don’t just the time comes) a sense watch themselves, you of seriousness surroundknow).
