To recapitulate, University of Georgia retirees, like those throughout the University System of Georgia, currently have a Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance policy through USG that basically pays for everything Medicare doesn’t cover. The retirees pay for the BCBS policy, as they also pay a premium for their Medicare coverage. They also have a USG drug coverage plan through Silverscript that considerably defrays the cost of prescription drugs.

Transparency for Tax Breaks

Everyday Specials

A New Rule Will Give Elected Officials Headaches

29 Beers on Tap Live Music Thursday-Sunday

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com GASB 77, an accounting regulation that applies to state and local governments and could potentially cause massive headaches for elected officials, was finalized by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, a private organization that sets the accounting requirements for governments to follow in compiling their financial reports. The new rule requires governments to disclose the tax breaks they grant to private businesses and how much those breaks are costing local taxpayers. If the legislature grants a special exemption to Mercedes-Benz, as it did this year at the request of Gov. Nathan Deal, when GASB 77 takes effect June 30, 2017, it will require the state to disclose the amount of money that Mercedes-Benz does not have to pay. If a local development authority grants property tax breaks to a company to persuade it to relocate a factory, the amount of the tax break must be disclosed. “They’ll have to put out statements about what they’ll do to taxpayers,� said Miller Edwards, a certified public accountant. “It’s in the interests of transparency and will be retroactive as well.� Edwards’ accounting firm performs the outside audit of the Georgia Building Authority’s finances. He briefed authority members last week on the implications of the new disclosure rule. Deal, who chairs the Georgia Building Authority, immediately grasped the political significance for elected officials who approve these tax breaks and then later try to run for re-election. “It really does lend itself to political exploitation,� Deal said. In other words, political opponents of an elected official would have a potent weapon to use against that person in the next election: detailed information on tax

exemptions promised to private businesses and how much they cost taxpayers. The public disclosure required by GASB 77 would have been useful a few years ago when the Joint Development Authority of Jasper, Morgan, Newton and Walton counties announced it had persuaded Baxter International, a pharmaceutical company, to locate a manufacturing facility at an industrial park. The tax breaks and financial incentives promised to Baxter were estimated to total more than $200 million. Those financial incentives included a 10-year break on property taxes that Baxter normally would have been required to pay to the Newton and Walton County school boards. The only problem was that nobody involved with the negotiations had bothered to tell the two school boards about those tax breaks that would cost them several million dollars a year. After the Baxter facility was announced, the school boards were told they would have to approve the tax breaks, even though they had been kept totally in the dark about these exemptions during the negotiations. It was a request that did not sit well with some of the board members. “The feeling of disenfranchisement of board members is real,� said Coleman Landers, who was a Walton County board member at the time. “We need to make sure board members are brought in like any other elected officials.� Property tax breaks of this type are often promised to business prospects by economic development agencies. When they do this without consulting the elected officials who have to vote on the exemptions, it amounts to taxation without representation—an issue so important we once fought a revolution over it. f

Food Truck Fallout Plus, ACC’s Exciting Sewer Service Delivery Plan By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com After mounting a last-minute effort to kill a local ordinance allowing up to six food trucks to operate in the bus bays around City Hall on Thursdays, downtown restaurant owners got the chance to air their grievances last week in front of the committee that wrote the proposed law. Many restaurateurs had legitimate concerns about food trucks operating on a level playing field with sit-down establishments. “Let me tell you, it’s difficult with the competition that’s here,” said Pouch co-owner Dave Malcher. “We struggle to carry on, and it’s just more competition being brought in.” While food trucks do operate with lower overhead (which is what makes them attractive to entry-level entrepreneurs), and they’re getting a good deal on those parking spaces with a fee of $200 or $252, depending on whether they’re licensed in Athens, they have some disadvantages too, like a requirement to build costly dump stations for food waste and an inability to sell alcohol. “We are just as regulated, if not more highly regulated [by the health department] as the brick-and-mortar restaurants,” said Kona Ice truck owner Ted Thompson. Amidst some valid questions and concerns, though, were other, more hysterical complaints—for example, Wilson Elder, who’s not in the restaurant business but commented nonetheless, said food trucks will “kill downtown.” “I can envision food trucks and a carnival atmosphere with cotton candy and a Ferris wheel,” he said. (That doesn’t sound so bad to me!) Commissioner Mike Hamby—sounding like he’s planning on riding a food truck right into the mayor’s office in three years—passionately defended easing restrictions on mobile eateries, noting that people predicted that the indoor smoking

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 28, 2015

ban and raising parking rates would kill downtown, too. “If we’re trying to kill downtown, we’re doing a horrible job of it,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is create an opportunity to enliven downtown just a little bit more, and it’ll benefit everybody downtown,” Hamby added. Commissioner Andy Herod, the committee chairman, acknowledged that, if he were a restaurant owner, he might feel the same way. But ultimately, the commissioners’ job isn’t to protect a certain class of business owner; it’s to do what they think is best for Athens as a whole. And none of the commissioners present—Herod, Hamby, Jerry NeSmith and Diane Bell—said they heard anything to change their minds. It’s a conversation Athens (which previously considered allowing food trucks on public property in 2010) and cities all over the country have already had, NeSmith said. Committee members did bow to one concern, though. Restaurant owners were miffed that the city is experimenting with food trucks potentially on their dime. “You talk about, ‘Wait a year and see what happens,’” Paul DeGeorge said. “That’s at our expense.” To appease them, commissioners said that, instead of reviewing the ordinance in a year with an eye to whether it should be repealed, they want to insert a sunset provision so that it will have to be reauthorized instead. That’s an important distinction, because it’ll be easier to kill the ordinance if commissioners have to vote to keep it rather than vote to get rid of it. Meanwhile, Downtown Athens Business Association President Jennifer Zwirn said she intends to ask Mayor Nancy Denson to form a committee of restaurant owners and retailers to further examine the ordinance, even though the commission seems poised to approve the ordinance Nov. 3.

The latest luxury student housing development? Nah. ACC utility workers spent 40 hours last weekend searching for and repairing a massive water-main break off Jefferson Road.

Sewer Service: As we mentioned a couple weeks ago, ACC officials are in the midst of a five-year update of the Public Utilities Department’s Service Delivery Plan. (Try to contain your excitement.) As in past updates, there’s at least one controversial component: plans to possibly extend sewer lines into the environmentally sensitive Sandy Creek basin in northeastern Athens and Shoal Creek basin in southeastern Athens. While those areas are home to thousands of aging septic tanks that might be about to fail, environmentalists are once again worried about the environmental impact of sewer lines. “If water mains leak, sewer mains leak. It’s a fact of life,” said Kyle McKay of the Upper Oconee Watershed Network, referencing the recent water-main break off Jefferson Road that forced residents to boil drinking water for five days. Plus, development tends to follow sewer lines. In addition to UOWN, the Oconee Rivers Greenway Commission also asked for a study on alternatives to sewer. In this update, though, utility officials are far less zealous about new sewer lines than they were in 2010, Commissioner

Kelly Girtz said at the Oct. 20 agendasetting meeting. For example, the report lists septic-tank clusters as an alternative to traditional sewer lines. “I just want to put out there that I sense a very different slant to this service delivery plan,” Girtz said. Partner Benefits: Commissioners are also considering a proposal to repeal domestic partner benefits for county employees in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. The ACC government is self-insured, and the Affordable Care Act requirement that pre-existing conditions must be covered has some officials worried the policy might be abused. The policy, passed in 2006, was intended to give employees in same-sex relationships who couldn’t marry the same benefits as married couples. Few took advantage of it, though—currently, eight employees are registered, and six of them are unmarried with partners of the opposite sex. Several commissioners, though, said they’re inclined to keep the policy in place, to preserve benefits for employees who are in committed relationships but not married. A vote is scheduled for Nov. 3. f

Frat Beach Crackdown

Smaller Crowds Expected in St. Simons This Year

Upsets Abound in the Georgia-Florida Matchup

T

he “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” will have to find a new place to pre-game this weekend. Glynn County officials are trying to stamp out underage drinking and increasingly rowdy behavior at “Frat Beach,” a popular St. Simons Island party spot for UGA students who go to the Georgia-Florida game in nearby Jacksonville, FL. “We felt like something needed to be done,” Glynn County Commissioner Bill Brunson says. “The events seemed to be getting incrementally worse.”

student, Matt Godwin, says he was planning on going to Frat Beach, but since the changes were announced, he has decided to go straight to the game instead. “Generally, a lot of people got cold feet and backed out,” he says. Several members of Godwin’s fraternity were worried about the police presence, but he says the majority of upperclassmen are still going. Although Brunson hopes the same number of people travel to the county for the game and says his community still wants to promote the weekend, he expects fewer

UGA News Service

While the University of Florida, the better team thus far this season, is favored over Georgia in this weekend’s annual meeting at the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, you can’t count out the Dawgs, who need a win over over their hated rivals to have a chance at salvaging this once-promising season. And as I said in my last column, when two rivals such as Georgia and Florida meet, with so much passion and fervor on each side, you can pretty much throw records out the window. So, we thought we’d take a look at some of the biggest upsets at the WLOCP during Mark Richt’s tenure as UGA head coach.

Volunteers and Glynn County workers clean up Frat Beach after the Georgia-Florida game in 2012.

The county sent a letter to UGA and the University of Florida in August saying officials are implementing a “ZERO tolerance enforcement policy as it relates to underage drinking, disorderly conduct, littering and other illegal behavior.” The letter also detailed plans for medical assistance, roadblocks and validating people’s ages if they don’t have ID. Law enforcement from six different agencies will patrol the beach to enforce these changes. The UGA Student Government Association emailed the letter to all UGA students, saying, “Please make an effort to keep these communities clean, stay safe and smart, and remember you are representing UGA.” The changes are due to growing levels of danger, which Brunson attributes to social media giving rise to larger crowds and uncertainty about how many people would show up. Underage drinking and disorderly conduct was causing an unsafe situation for students and the community, says Brunson, who chaired a committee to find solutions for the beach. “The main reason is for the safety of the students,” he says. “Somebody was going to get hurt with this kind of activity. That’s what prompted the decision to do something about it.” The weekend is typically very lucrative for businesses in the community— especially for hotels—and one potential negative effect of the changes could be less revenue for those businesses.

people. “I have talked to the hotels, and their reservations are down, and I hate it,” Brunson says. “I’m sorry for that. We understood when we began this process that there would be pockets of the economy that would be negatively affected.” UGA student Lisa Johnson is disappointed fewer people will be at Frat Beach this year, but she feels like the changes needed to be made. “Yes, I’m sad that for my senior year a lot of my friends won’t be going, but it was getting out of control,” Johnson says. “I don’t know if the measures needed to be this extreme, but something bad was going to happen if they didn’t do something.” Another problem that arises during the weekend is the amount of trash left on the beach each year. Brunson says 21,000 pounds of garbage was collected last year, but he also says the committee was much less concerned with this, citing the community’s willingness to volunteer to collect trash. “We’ll all get out there and pick up the trash. That’s not the issue. The issue is safety,” he says. Although there will be no leeway in the rules, Brunson says they will be critiquing the changes after the weekend is over. “Right now, I can say there is not anything I would have done differently,” he says. “But, I can assure you that, probably, on Nov. 2, there will be a notebook full of stuff that we would have done differently.” f

Wild Rumpus Rumpuses On Come for the Halloween Costumes, Stay for the Music By Evelyn Andrews news@flagpole.com

W

The parade route and meeting location is different from past years. It will start at the intersection of Hull Street and Hancock Avenue at 8:30 p.m. At the conclusion of the parade, there will be an outdoor dance party on College Avenue in front of City Hall. At 10 p.m. the party moves to Nowhere Bar, where Conley’s band, Kite to the Moon, will play, and Terrapin will have beer specials. Proceeds from this year’s Wild Rumpus will be donated to Community Connection, an organization providing help to lowincome residents in and around Athens Stefan Eberhard

ild Rumpus has quickly become an Athens Halloween tradition. Now, in its seventh year, Timi Conley, the festival and parade’s creator, is gearing up for the festivities to begin. The idea began as a simple parade downtown, with Conley only putting the word out on social media. Surprised and delighted by the turnout, he decided to keep the festival going every year, adding events as the festival continued. “Athens on Halloween was already awesome,” Conley says. “Wild Rumpus is a perfect mix of Athens’ creativity and party

Wild Rumpus founder Timi Conley says the Halloween-themed festival and parade continues to grow.

attitude. But it’s not just partiers; it’s families, old and young. It doesn’t matter.” Previous years have seen between 3,000–5,000 people, but Conley expects it to keep growing now that the word is getting out on travel blogs. A couple of years ago, Conley says, he met a couple from Arizona who traveled to Athens to be a part of Wild Rumpus. This year’s Rumpus could be bigger than ever. The festival “hasn’t been on the radar at UGA because most every year students go to Florida for the game,” Conley says, and years when the game doesn’t coincide with Halloween have been the largest. That may also be true this year, with fewer students expected to travel to Florida due to new regulations at “Frat Beach” (see p. 7). Festival-goers can get creative with group costumes and motorized floats, though those need to be pre-registered. Past years have seen floats themed with a zombie wedding and Santa Claus. This year, a timely Star Wars float will be in the festival, Conley says. Wild Rumpus begins with a Monster Mash kids’ show at The Foundry on Friday, Oct. 30 from 12–3 p.m., which includes crafts, a haunted house, trapeze performances and musical performances from local teens. The Halloween day activities begin at 6 p.m. with a parade pre-party at Live Wire and beer specials from Creature Comforts.

This year, funds will go toward a new database for Community Connection, Conley says. Donations can be made at wildrumpus.org.

Getting to Know Sculptor Noah Saunders By Barbette Houser arts@flagpole.com

N

oah Saunders confesses that he “really moved to Athens for the cheaper rent.” The sculptor, who works primarily with fencing wire, laughs about how little he knew about the town before locating here when he was 20 years old. Apparently, things worked out; 15 years later, he happily calls Athens home. “People come to Athens to do something beyond ‘career,’” Saunders says. “They come to learn, to study. It’s easy to manifest dreams here.” One of Noah’s dreams has come to fruition, with a 25-year retrospective of his signature three-dimensional wire portraits currently on display at the HoFP Gallery in Columbia, SC. The show includes some works on loan that had been previously purchased at the artist’s first exhibit at the gallery, which took place when Saunders was only 16. “In fifth grade, this guy showed us how to make little people out of pipe cleaners. But he only gave us five pipe cleaners, and

Saunders keeps his tools to a minimum, relying mostly on simple pliers. He suspends his works from the ceiling in his studio and then projects photographs of his subjects onto the wall to help guide him in decision-making. A light shines on the work in progress, casting shadows integral to the process and to the experience of the works. Saunders, who often deals with 100 different strands of wire in a single portrait, says “wire is, in essence, a line you can hold.” The finished pieces have the energy and beauty of dynamic drawings, while simultaneously being three-dimensional pieces meant to be viewed from every angle, along with their cast shadows. Most are meant to be hung in space, and the resulting motion and changing shadows become part of the complex works. The expressions in his portraits change as they move. The largest work the artist has ever created, “Amazing Grace,” is a portrait of a dancer from New York. Saunders created it as part of a series he is doing in partnership

Noah Saunders and his “Amazing Grace.”

I was incensed, because I wanted more,” says Saunders. That marked the beginning of the artist’s lifelong obsession with wire. Saunders went home that day to scour the house for pipe cleaners and wire. He even resorted to tearing out the spiral edging on his notebooks—anything he could find to complete the figure he had started in school. That visiting artist also introduced Saunders to the work of Alexander Calder, including his “Circus.” Calder proved to be a lifelong inspiration. “Calder did wire portraits in the 1920s. He dropped the idea at a point,” Saunders says, “but I feel like I picked it up to push it to its furthest limits.” Saunders found his subject of choice that day, as well as his favorite medium. In fact, his interest in portraiture and the human figure influenced his decision to leave Georgia State University after only one semester. (“Figure studies weren’t popular with sculptors at that time,” he says.) Saunders left art school and devoted himself to making art full-time, a choice his parents supported.

with UGA about how social media is changing the roles of artists. Saunders relied on 40 pictures from the dancer’s Facebook page to portray his grace and motion. Saunders is now working on a portrait of Sterling Dorminey commissioned by his mother, Betsy. His patron says, “Noah’s sculpture is like a 3D line drawing in braille: a pencil traveling through space, leaving a trail of metal behind. Or topographical maps. To me, they look so lifelike that I almost expect them to breathe and speak.” The thoughtful, long-haired, soft-spoken artist is frequently seen around town, usually with book in hand. It’s clear that he gives the art-making process a great deal of consideration, and he is a keen observer. Many of his pieces are inspired by the people that he sees at places like Big City Bread and The National. Locally, Saunders shows his wire sculptures at Aurum Studios, and his jewelry is sold at Frontier. “Even if it doesn’t have a lot of galleries [or] other means of support for artists,” he says, “Athens is a great place to live and to be an artist in.” f

Read ‘Em & Tremble flagpole’s Halloween Scary Story Contest Winners

T

his year’s Flagpole Halloween Scary Story Contest was better than ever; so many good stories (33 in all) made it very difficult for our editors to pick the winners. There were a whole bunch of stories that just as easily could have been in the top three, including those by Dominic Bielli, age 13, and Genevieve Bielli, age 8-and-a-half. You can read all the stories at flagpole.com, and you’ll see what we mean about the quality as well as the quantity. Some of our excellent annual contributors got bumped this year, in spite of their obvious skill at crafting a scary story. So, thanks to everybody who participated. Enjoy their efforts here and online. It’s downright scary how many good writers we have here in the Athens area.

“Mister Rowe, may I have a word?” The groundskeeper turned from a roughly opened grave to the young woman. “What do you want?” “I want to talk about the grave thief.” Dexter Rowe wiped sweat from his brow. “Dang it. How’d you find out?” “I was just wondering if you’d answer some questions.”

Print Is Dead By Adam Rainville

Lee Gatlin

“Hey, Pete. You wanted to see me?” “Yeah. Come in.” As Katie took a seat, she glanced at a paper on her editor’s desk and read the partially obscured words “ANTHROPO BIBLIO.” She assumed it was an article about the university’s Anthropology Department. Pete was a machine. Editing and publishing a weekly magazine, dealing with business responsibilities and contributing articles. No wonder he carried luggage under his eyes. He’d probably been working all night. “What did you want to talk about?” Pete laced his fingers. “I have to let you go.” “What? Why?” “Business. You’re a good writer. Little flowery, but good. Unfortunately, I’ve had to make sacrifices, and it just hasn’t been enough. We’ve sold space until there’s more ads than stories. Gone to 100 percent recycled materials to save on newsprint. Cut hours to save on labor. Flagpole’s too important, and I’ll be damned if it sinks. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep it afloat, as long as I’m pulling air.” “Give me one more chance. A friend over at UGA PD gave me a tip, and I’m not going to let the Banner-Herald beat us to it.” “Whatcha got?” “Someone’s digging up graves at Jackson Street Cemetery.” Pete rubbed his chin. “I don’t know.” “Think about it. We’ll time the story to the Halloween edition. It could be a big draw for advertisers.” “All right. I don’t think you’ll find anything interesting, but it’s worth a shot. And none of that hoity-toity Lovecraft prose you love so much. Real reporting. Got me?” “Gotcha, Chief.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 28, 2015

“I’m not talking to anyone ‘bout anything. You know what’d happen if parents found out there’s some lunatic messing with dead bodies? We’re talking serious enrollment problems come next semester.” Katie thought of “The Hound,” a Lovecraft story about grave robbing. “I’m not trying to damage the University’s reputation. I just want answers. Like, what do you mean by ‘messing with dead bodies?’” The man sighed. “‘Tween you and me, whoever’s doing this isn’t just a little off; he’s downright sick. See, he’s not just stealing cadavers like old Igor. He’s taken the skin right off and left everything else. Most bodies are mummified; nothing more than skin and bones. Guess the perv wasn’t interested in the bones.” “Any idea why he’d want the skin?” The groundskeeper shrugged. “Ever see that movie Silence of the Lambs? ‘It puts the lotion on the skin…’” “‘…or it gets the hose again.’ Yeah, I’ve seen it.” “You promise not to print anything about this, and I’ll

tell you something interesting.” “All right, shoot.” “This isn’t the only one. There’s dug graves all over Athens. Every cemetery’s been hit. This is just the latest.” “Because it’s nearest the perpetrator?” “Because he’s run out of bodies. We groundskeepers keep in touch. Guys at other cemeteries say most of their graves are empty. I think some of ‘em might’ve even helped out.” “Would you say hundreds of bodies?” “Try tens of thousands. If the guy is making skin suits, he’s making an army of them.” Katie was supposed to be cleaning out her desk but couldn’t find the motivation. The Halloween edition of the Flagpole lay unopened, her article nowhere to be found. She’d promised to keep Rowe’s information off-record. She’d interviewed groundskeepers at other cemeteries, but, of course, none would comment. With no hard evidence, there was no story. She put her head down and closed her eyes. She’d never be a famous writer, not even after death, like her idol, Lovecraft. She thought of her favorite story, “The Hound.” She’d researched and written an essay on it back in college. It was the first appearance of Lovecraft’s greatest invention, The Necronomicon. The Book of the Dead. Entirely bound in… He’d probably been working all night. “I’ve had to make sacrifices…” “…whatever it takes…as long as I’m pulling air.” ANTHROPO BIBLIO. Not ANTHROPOLOGY BIBLIOLOGY, but ANTHROPODERMIC BIBLIOPEGY. The practice of binding books in skin. Katie opened her eyes. There, on the Flagpole’s cover, was a symbol and the words, “Now made from 100 percent recycled materials.” Suddenly, Katie found the motivation to pack up her desk. As quickly as possible. Second Place

Damned Yard By Erin Lovett It was around supper when Peter saw his neighbor Ollie being led from his carport in handcuffs. A gentle giant of Santa Clausian proportions, the man was a local relic, cherished. Quirky, sure, but not the type you’d expect to see getting put into the back seat of a cop car. “I can’t do it!” Ollie was bellowing out. “You don’t understand!”

“What’s this all about?â€? Peter asked the officer as he ducked Ollie’s head into the car. “Probation violation,â€? the officer grunted. “Been givin’ him warnings for a year now to clean up this dump.â€? Behind them, towers of cardboard boxes leaned against each other’s weight like drunks, swollen and warped with moisture. The yard itself was caked with old papers and records, half-buried and bookended by two junked cars, all rust and kudzu; beyond that, a crooked shed so dilapidated it was hard to tell its original purpose. “Ollie, don’t worry,â€? Peter called after him. “I’ll clean this up.â€? The officer was suddenly knocked backwards as Ollie lunged out of the backseat at Peter. “No!â€? He choked. “You don’t understand! Don’t you touch anything!â€? Before Peter could respond the officer shoved Ollie back in his seat and slammed the door behind him. He was still yelling, his eyes panicked. “I’ll get this cleaned up, officer,â€? Peter said. “I’ll fix this mess.â€? It was dark when Peter finally got started, but a bare bulb in Ollie’s carport gave enough light to work by. “Why didn’t you just clean your damn yard, Ollie?â€? Peter grumbled as he pulled out a soggy ream of newspapers and shoved it into a trash bag. Grrrrrmmmmm‌ Peter froze as a low growl came from the backyard. “I-is someone there?â€? he called. The light wasn’t bright enough that he could see beyond the carport. The backyard was just a dark void, a pitch black minefield of debris‌ and that shed. No one answered, and Peter tried to shift his focus back to cleaning, turning to another box, this one full of legal pads, each filled to the margins with indecipherable scribbling. GRRRRRRRRMMMMMM‌ It came louder now. Peter dropped his trash bag and fell backwards, knocking over a box of cassettes that clattered loudly over the cement. “Who’s there?â€? he whispered, peering into the dark. From somewhere in the blackness came the slow creaking sound of a wooden door swinging open and shut. “Who’s there?â€? he cried again. He fumbled around for a weapon and found only a dusty old record, which he held in both hands like a shield. A tower of boxes somewhere toppled over, shattering glass and old 45s. The last thing Peter saw was an old tabby cat cleaning her paw at the edge of the carport. She blinked, bored, as he was dragged screaming into the dark. “Will you just clean up this mess?â€? The officer sighed as he dropped Ollie off the next morning. “Yes sir,â€? Ollie said. “It’s just like Joan Jett used to say when‌â€? “Just clean it up, Ollie.â€? The officer hopped back in his car and sped off. Ollie rubbed his wrists and looked around, choosing a box from the carport and carrying it into the backyard. “Sorry, Peter,â€? he whispered, setting the box by the shed. As if in response, a breeze lifted a few sheets of yellowed paper from the rest. Ollie watched them dance for a moment, and just as suddenly, die. Third Place

Fight Night in Georgia By DJ Thomason When Raymond Kensington awoke, he was lying on a concrete floor inside a jail. He stood up, rubbing his aching back and throbbing head. The jail was a cubicle made of iron bars, with another cubicle connected to his. Both cages— each about 15-feet-by-15-feet—were sitting in the middle of an empty warehouse. A man stood inside the other cage watching him. “Where in the hell are we?� Raymond asked. The man shrugged. “No idea. I was at a bar in Gainesville late last night and woke up here. I think they drugged me.� “I was in a bar in Athens,� Raymond said. “Same story.�

He checked his pockets and found nothing. Wallet, cellphone and keys were all gone. He placed his face between the bars and screamed, “HELP!â€? A man in a suit appeared from the shadows and calmly approached the two cages. “Scream if you want,â€? he said. “We’re in the country. No one for miles.â€? “Is this some kind of jail? Who are you?â€? The man bowed slightly. “Just call me Ares.â€? “What am I here for, Ares?â€? The man smiled. “Fight Night.â€? Raymond glanced at the other prisoner, but the guy never commented. “What are you talking about?â€? Raymond demanded. “Have you ever heard stories about people paying winos and homeless people to fight? They’d find a group of homeless people and pay 20 or 30 bucks to the winner, and they’d video the fight and post it on YouTube. Pretty cruel, huh?â€? Raymond shook the bars. “This is illegal. You’re going to jail for kidnapping.â€? “I know rich people with similar tastes,â€? Ares said. “And I facilitate their desires. I kidnap people and set up fights, and my acquaintances all bet on them. I’m the house, of course, and take a cut of everything. It’s very lucrative.â€? Raymond screamed, “HELP!â€? Ares grinned. “Save your energy. Because at midnight tonight, the partition in the middle of the cages will be raised, and you and your friend in the other cage will be expected to fight each other.â€? “That’s preposterous,â€? Raymond said. “I’m not fighting a total stranger.â€? “If you win, you go free. If you lose, you die. That’s your incentive.â€? “You’re crazy.â€? Ares smiled. “Probably.â€? “You don’t know what tonight is or you’d let me go.â€? “What is tonight?â€? Ares asked in his cultured voice. “Full moon.â€? “And?â€? Raymond licked his lips. “I’m a werebulldog.â€? Ares laughed out loud and clapped his hands. “A werebulldog? Who’s the crazy one now?â€? “It’s true. I was supposed to be at home tonight. My wife chains me up.â€? “And pray-tell, Mr. Kensington, what happened to you? Were you bitten by another werebulldog? Was it someone famous? Herschel Walker? Vince Dooley?â€? Ares threw his head back and howled with laughter. “It’s not funny. I went to the University of Georgia. I was in a fraternity. And I was such a jackass of a pledge that they came up with a hazing session just for me. They brought in a professor with an old book of spells and incantations, and he lit candles and killed a freaking goat. And they pretended to turn me into a werewolf.â€? Ares cocked his head. “So what happened?â€? “My buddy Sam’s bulldog interrupted the ceremony and got his hair in the goat’s blood. But the ritual actually worked, and now, every full moon, I turn into a giant bulldog.â€? “How much did you drink last night?â€? Ares asked. “It’s not funny! I’m telling the truth. You should let me go NOW. Please!â€? “I have $1.7 million already wagered for tonight’s fight, Mr. Kensington. And you’re the main event.â€? “You’re crazy,â€? Raymond whispered. “It’s 8 p.m.,â€? Ares said. “Four hours until you fight. I’d get some rest.â€? Raymond growled, “Screw you.â€? Ares raised an arm and snapped his fingers. Brilliant floodlights flickered on, illuminating the area, revealing several movie cameras on tripods covering the cage from every angle. Ares walked off, exiting the warehouse through a distant door. Raymond swallowed hard. 8 p.m. already? He’d been unconscious most of the day. The moon would be out in minutes. A loud grunt startled Raymond. He glanced at the cell beside him. The man was on all fours, groaning. His jaw was distended, and dark-olive scales lined his face. “I’m sorry,â€? the man gasped in a garbled, inhuman voice. “I’m a weregator.â€? “Oh‌ shit,â€? Raymond said. f

Jowe Head Comes to Athens Post-Punk Legend Brings Sights and Sounds from Across the Pond By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com and a closing reception with the artist will be held on Immortalized as a pioneer of post-punk, London-based Friday, Oct. 30 from 7–9 p.m. at KA Artist Shop. musician and artist Jowe Head, born Stephen Bird, is Epitomizing the crossroads of his love for art and music, known for his role in the late-‘70s band Swell Maps, as several of Head’s most recent recordings with his band The well as a decade-long career with Television Personalities.

All the while, Head was developing as a visual artist, graduating from Manchester in 1980 with a degree in fine art but finding the need “to ‘un-learn’ a lot of the stuff that they were trying to cram into my brain, so that I could develop my own ideas and style,â€? he says. In addition to participating in various solo and group exhibitions, for the past 20 years the artist has also worked as a teacher at various youth clubs, community colleges and centers for people living with disabilities. “Generally, all my paintings are dear to me; they are like children. I have a similar relationship to my songs and recordings,â€? says Head. “My favorites tend to have some kind of spiritual aspect. I have an interest in pagan imagery and symbolism, which gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Head always creates his own album artwork, and each copy of Visionaries was hand-printed with a linocut image of an eye. Demonstrating how his talents so often go handin-hand, the artist also frequently paints stage backdrops and creates animated videos for his music. There are three separate performances to see Head and Flight Mode USA together in action: Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Hendershot’s Coffee Bar with French Exit; Thursday, Oct. 29 at Eyedrum in Atlanta with Omni and Cole Alexander of Black Lips; and Saturday, Oct. 31 at Flicker Theatre & Bar with Antlered Aunt Lord. The sets will range from early Swell Maps songs and tracks off of his solo albums to covers and works from Visionaries. “I have managed to become part of a brilliant scene in London with various musicians, and my current band, Infernal Contraption, is amazing, but there are immense problems involved in taking a band on tour in the USA,� says Head, �so I have managed to make a virtue out of being adaptable to the circumstances.� Being adaptable on tour means finding kindred musicians to take the stage with him, a brave exercise in surrendering partial creative control in order to yield wildly diverse, unpredictable results. When performing in New York, Head is often joined by members of The Mad Scene, led by New Zealander Hamish Kilgour of The Clean, for a psychedelic sound. When joined by members of experimental rock band The Plums in Washington D.C., sets are more heavily influenced by noise and improvisation. “It is a healthy thing to do, I believe. It is very rewarding to play with a variety of different groups of people, because various songs take on new leases on life played by different people that make the material grow and breathe,� he says. “I would never expect people to reproduce the records; that would be boring!� For his performances in Athens, Head will be joined by Flight Mode USA’s Kenny Aguar and Leslie Grove, as well as Muuy Biien’s Joshua Evans, Robbie Rapp and Xander Witt. Additional backing musicians include John Fernandes, Rebecca Blankenship, Cary Whitley, Kate Mikulka, Deb Chasteen and Gabrielle Bischoff. “I hope to make music with these great musicians in Georgia that is also difficult to categorize, but is seductive,� Jowe observes. “It’s going to be an interesting palette of sounds: cello, violin, synthesizer, theremin, saxophones, clarinet, psychedelic guitars, voices. I’d like people to say, ‘I don’t know what the hell that was, but I really want some more!’� f

Grotesque Burlesque

Matt Hardy

arts & culture

Secret City is All Brains, No Bras By Dina Canup arts@flagpole.com Halloween is Athens’ favorite holiday in celebration of all things wild, quirky and local, and Secret City’s annual Grotesque Burlesque is the perfect opening to the biggest local party weekend of the year. This always-popular Halloween event is part of Secret City’s open mic Burlesque Beta series: a themed variety show in sexy, postmodern Vaudevillian style with striptease, standup, music, improv and dance—plus an extra helping of scary special effects for the season. With the motto “All Brains, No Bras,” and the belief that burlesque is for everyone, the troupe’s main desires can be summed up in two parts: Love the body you have, and make ‘em laugh. Secret City was formed about three years ago by troupe president Vicious Delicious, who started Burlesque Beta when she was a member of Effie’s Club Follies. Secret City emerged out of Burlesque Beta after it outgrew its home base at Go Bar, performing as Secret City at Frolicon and then at 7 Stages in Atlanta. Secret City has since performed all over Athens, but is best suited to small music venues like Caledonia and The World Famous, though now the troupe has the chance to get (mostly) naked at the 40 Watt Club. For theater lovers who know little about original burlesque beyond the stockingpeel, Vicious Delicious is happy to play the role of sexy history teacher. She describes the first stirrings of burlesque in variety shows and the vaudeville circuit: “Dancers used to entertain audiences between comedy acts, and eventually producers realized that audiences enjoyed the dancing, stripping ladies more than the acts. Burlesque dancers became headliners and established resident companies in the big cities.” From the 1860s–1940s, it was all about the striptease and the elaborate costumes, but it eventually gave rise to go-go dancers

in the ‘60s and, ultimately, modern strip clubs. Satire, comedy and social critique were abandoned along with the pasties as the tease was disconnected from stripping. Neo-burlesque arrived exuberantly in the ‘90s, reviving classical burlesque and giving birth to newer, unconventional forms of sexy entertainment. The highly theatrical, comedic Secret City is firmly rooted in neo-burlesque radical self-expression, while simultaneously drenched in the finest tradition of classical burlesque in all its variety. Athens is a town ripe for this form of entertainment and a logical place for neo-burlesque to spread from the movement’s major centers, like Atlanta. “We even have our own spin of boylesque-brolesque,” troupe member Callsign Charlie points out. “Essentially, I think, we just have the right culture and willing audiences that allow burlesque to grow here.” Secret City’s acts range from comedic to dark, from improv to the intricately choreographed, striking a balance between funny and sexy. As troupe member Miss Andrea says, “No matter how sexy someone is, there’s always gonna be something funny about tassel-twirling.” Secret City has a DIY edge, as well. The aim is to entertain and to educate “about burlesque, sex and body positivity, and provide a platform for anyone who wants to get involved and explore those things,” says member and MC Captain James Tiberius Cock. The shows firmly embrace empowerment for the audience and the performers. Callsign Charlie finds this sort of performance liberating: “Being on that stage, I’m about as free and happy and as comfortable with my body as I can ever remember being.” Daisy Ya’DareMe adds, “Growing up female in America, you tend to get a lot of really mixed signals, to be ashamed of

everything from your body to your desires. You aren’t really encouraged to be honest about enjoying sex, about feeling sexy. Burlesque not only forced me to confront the weird way our culture views sex and the female form, it has allowed me to kind of throw those things out the window and learn to be comfortable in my own skin.” Audience members, encouraged to vocalize their positive enjoyment, are hopefully also inspired to participate. Secret City welcomes that interest, as long as no one tries to jump onstage in the middle of the show without an invitation (please don’t touch the performers). This sort of sexy, joyful fun—with a bit of gore for the season—is a

great introduction for burlesque newbies or for the delight of seasoned regulars. As Cock says, “It’s sexy, funny and theatrical: three things Athens loves. I think the beauty of burlesque is, there’s room for all of us.” And don’t be afraid to bring a date, Miss Andrea adds. “If they don’t like our show, they just aren’t The One.” f

How to Make Easy, Not-Lame Halloween Treats By Marilyn Estes news@flagpole.com

W

hen Flagpole asked me to share a couple of my Halloween recipes, I was happy to oblige. Anything to add even more Halloween to Athens. Except I don’t really do recipes when it comes to my Halloween treats. I don’t want to deal with anything too involved or pricey during this busy, fun time of year, and you probably don’t either. In my book, if you’re going to make a spooky treat, keep it simple, but not lame simple, like just throwing the word “spooky” in front of it. (“Look! Spooky salsa and chips!” “And how is this different from last week’s salsa and chips?” “It has ‘spooky’ in front of it!”) Presentation is the first step—showing the spooky without telling the spooky—and flavor is all the other steps, because clever food stops being clever if it doesn’t taste good.

one too many Almond Joys, and the Linusin-the-Pumpkin-Patch theme is perfect for all ages.

Halloween Bloody Mary

Sweet-and-Salty Candy Bones

Drinks are a good place to start simple for setting the tone. Athens folk tend to prefer personal taste over spooky themes when it comes to our beloved beverages of beer and mixed drinks, so I usually keep the decorations outside the glass. This classic cocktail, however, invites a little crossover of my own design.

More time-consuming than difficult to make, this tasty, addictive treat is a popular “thank you for making this because I didn’t want to” fave among my friends. Other people’s recipes call for white chocolate chips, parchment paper and double boilers. Bag that.

A pitcher of Bloody Marys (I use Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix and good vodka) Celery stalks Knife Set aside the pitcher of Bloody Marys until ready to serve. Using the knife, cut off the celery’s leafy stems (reserve for the It’s a Great Pumpkin Patch recipe), and carve one end of each stalk to a point until it resembles a stake. Repeat until you have a plate full of stakes that would make Buffy proud, and serve with the Bloody Marys.

It’s the Great Pumpkin Patch Because there’s always someone at a party who wants to eat healthy—even on Halloween, which horrifies me—this festive decoration (picked up from the Interwebs) solves that problem. It’s also not bad for those of us whose tummies may have had

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 28, 2015

Several peeled tangerines or clementines (any version of orange that sits flat) A few peeled bananas Chocolate chips, raisins, etc. for ghost eyes Celery stems and leaves (or similar vegetation) Set the tangerines on a large plate and decorate with the celery to make it look like a pumpkin patch: a celery stem in the hole of each tangerine, some stems and leaves on the plate. Cut the bananas in halves and prop them around the tangerines to look like rising ghosts. Stick chocolate chips into the banana for the ghost’s eyes and mouth.

1 package of thin pretzel sticks 1 package of vanilla candy coating 1 bag of mini marshmallows Wax paper or parchment paper (optional) Tweezers (or reasonable facsimile; also optional) Stick a mini marshmallow on each end of a pretzel and set the uncoated bone aside until you have as many as you’d like. Put the candy coating, broken into smaller pieces, in a deep glass bowl and set it in a microwave oven. Follow the directions on the packaging, but basically melt the candy coating on a lower temperature, stirring every 30 seconds, until it has a thin consistency, like queso dip. Dip each marshmallowand-pretzel bone into the candy coating—I use tweezers to grasp it in the middle of the pretzel, but you can use a fork—and set it on a nonstick surface like wax paper to cool. If the candy coating mixture cools and becomes too thick while you’re dipping the bones, you can return the bowl to the microwave and even add more pieces of candy coating as you go. This also helps you work out the bones-to-coating ratio. And if all else fails, order a pizza—just no garlic. f

No Future PiL’s John Lydon on 40 Years of Working-Class Creativity By Chad Radford music@flagpole.com

W

hat the World Needs Now, the 10th album from the defining UK post-punk outfit Public Image Ltd, draws to a close with a song called “Shoom.” It’s a slow traipse of throbbing keyboards and sparse, driving rhythms with a sardonic sense of humor. The song’s opening line bears a message that cannot be misconstrued: “Fuck you.” PiL’s singer and punk icon John Lydon pauses from laughing about it to explain that “Shoom” was actually written as a loving requiem to his father. “Whatever troublesome nature I have for the powers that be, I get from my father,” Lydon, speaking from his Los Angeles home, says in his thick, unmistakable North London drawl. “And the lyrics, ‘Botox/ It’s bollocks’—that’s my father’s sense of comedic timing and ironic use of words. When I was younger, he’d get me all up in arms, but it opened me up to be not so dramatic and foolish. “Of course,” he adds, “there’s always going to be someone asking, ‘What’s wrong with Botox?’ It’s deliberately agitating, but it gets a conversation started.” Lydon speaks with a fluid confidence and the kind of big-picture wisdom that comes from a life in the spotlight. Since joining the Sex Pistols in the summer of 1975, he’s

become a symbol of defiance, challenging the status quo through music. For 40 years, Lydon’s caterwauling voice and thousandyard stare have put such a fine point on outsider creativity in pop culture that he’s become a household name—though many people know him by his former moniker, Johnny Rotten. At the height of the Sex Pistols’ career, thanks to notorious early singles like “Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen,” the Houses of Parliament considered detaining Lydon for violating the Treason Act, a charge that carried a potential death sentence at the time. Kicking up such extreme sentiments was a heavier load than what most angry, rebellious young musicians have to bear. Over the years, Lydon has reconciled being perceived as an agitator, though his true intentions have always been geared toward pro-working class endeavors, and breaking down social and political barriers. “If I can’t make the world a better place for the people who live next door, what good am I?” he asks. Challenging complacency in the face of bankrupt spiritual institutions, commercialism and the troubled environment have long been at the heart of Lydon’s songwriting, from PiL’s debut single, 1978’s “Public Image,” through such ’80s and ’90s career-

defining numbers as “Religion,” “Chant,” “This is Not a Love Song” and “Don’t Ask Me.” His passions have never been more powerfully channeled than by the mantra “anger is an energy,” from PiL’s 1986 single, “Rise.” (That battle cry reemerged in 2014 as the title for Lydon’s second autobiography.) The cover art for What the World Needs Now, an illustration by Lydon, portrays a clownish character balancing the earth in his right hand and the signature PiL logo in his left. The black and white stripes of his hat, a reference to the Tewa clowns found throughout Hopi culture, tie Lydon’s career together in one symbolic motion. “The trickster, the prankster: Every culture has these figures that are ridiculed by society, but they’re the only ones pointing out the errors of our mainstream ways of thinking,” Lydon says. “They’re the truthsayers. Now, looking at this cover, I’m not necessarily calling myself that, but if you look closely at the shoes on his feet, those are mine! So he’s either stole my shoes, or…” Other songs throughout the album, including “Know Now,” feature the steely guitar sounds that former guitarist Keith Levene introduced during PiL’s earliest incarnation; the metronomic bass evokes Jah Wobble’s early plod. Songs like “Betty Page,” which unfolds with spy-themed

guitars, and the blown-out bass of “C’est la Vie” carry the group’s legacy forward, comfortable within the musical vocabulary that Lydon has developed. The group’s current lineup—guitarist Lu Edmonds, drummer Bruce Smith and bass player Scott Firth—moves as a single unit, operating with a sense of chemistry and centered around Lydon’s voice. “We’re most solid with each other, and have been for over five years,” Lydon says. “In terms of the membership of PiL, that’s extremely stable!” he adds with a laugh. “We know each other’s capabilities. All of us have been viewed over the years as outsiders, and we’ve found a happy, healthy hunting ground by combining our forces.” The journey from album opener “Double Trouble” to “Shoom” reflects a certain resilience that could indeed be seen as emblematic of what the world needs now. The bold current incarnation of PiL has delivered a righteous album that does its title justice, all while pushing the music forward. f

alloween is Athens’ most widely— and wildly—celebrated local holiday. Along with the ever-expanding Wild Rumpus parade (see p. 8), there’s a live music explosion on Oct. 31, as local bands and big-name touring acts alike put on crazy costumes and get plowed while plowing through the hits—their own or, more often, others’. Though the cover-band population looks to quadruple this weekend, there are plenty of additional options for dancin’ and drinkin’ the night away. OK, so it’s happening on All Hallow’s Eve Eve, but we’d be remiss to not mention Unknown Hinson’s appearance at The Foundry on Friday, Oct. 30 (9 p.m., $20).

There’s a costume contest happening there, too. (No Pizza Rat, plz.)

The De Lux Interiors

unsuspecting after-dinner crowd with twangy, fang-y, matter-of-fact numbers like “Alkyhol Withdrawl� and “Your Man is Gay.� There’s absolutely no better option if you’re looking to kick off the weekend with a weird bang. Ease into things on Saturday by donning your Trump wig and heading downtown to join in the Wild Rumpus fun. After the parade, assuming you don’t have tickets to Young the Giant’s sold-out Georgia Theatre show (8 p.m.), scope out the scene at Live Wire, where New Orleans funk fixture George Porter Jr. hosts an evening of music, as well as a costume contest (9 p.m., $15). Or, you could hoof it back to The Foundry, where a Dia de Los Muertos party features music from merengue outfit Bachata Urbana and DJ Harold G (9 p.m., $12). Make a point to hit up the official Wild Rumpus afterparty at Nowhere Bar, where Rumpus coordinator Timi Conley’s Kite to the Moon project will vibe way into the wee hours (10 p.m., $2). On the chance that

the Cookies, Man or Astro-Man and Eureka California; they recently opened two shows for WK himself, and yes, they dominate (9:30 p.m., $5 for 21 and up, $7 for 18–20). For a creepy culture clash, crawl up the hill to Bar Georgia, where Cramps cover band The De Lux Interiors will be melting faces and, no doubt, brains (10 p.m., FREE!). But don’t burn yourself out quite yet, ‘cause there’s a very cool show happening over at Flicker Theatre & Bar anchored by an allstar out-of-towner in Swell Maps/Television Personalities mainstay Jowe Head, who will be supported by an all-Athenian backing band (9 p.m.; see Art Notes on p. 12). Of course, no Halloween in Athens is complete without a late-night trip to Go Bar, which this year hosts two cover bands—Richard Gumby as the self-explanatory Yonic South and members of Crunchy, Saline and Harsh Words playing Electric Wizard tunes as Count Drugula—as well as an after-hours dance party with DJ Blowpop (10 p.m.). f For complete music listings, see The Calendar in this issue and at flagpole.com.

threats & promises

Small Science’s Stylish Experiments Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS: Remember when I mentioned that new album by Small Science last month? It came out right about the time it was originally mentioned, but I’m just getting around to really listening to it now. That’s actually just fine, because it’s not the kind of thing I’d have wished to rush through, anyway. The band is composed of Ben Turk, CJ Comp, Ryan Houchens and composer Maria Kindt. The self-titled record was recorded, mixed and mastered by Suny Lyons. Though its seven tracks span a variety of styles—acoustic goth-folk, drum and bass, American jazz, a variety of Latin styles and solid pop struc-

Small Science

turing—I’m mostly partial to the noisier/ busier stuff here. To that end, I’d direct listeners first to the track “theoriesofdisplacement” and then have them explore the whole thing. Normally, I get pretty irritated when several styles are used on a record, but that’s because they’re normally all a’jumble with no taste or direction. Small Science seems to have plenty of each, though. Check it out at smallscience.band camp.com. MALLIS’ PALACE: Athens pop maestro Nicholas Mallis has a new EP coming out next month, and he just released the first single, “A Song For Georgie Fruit,” this week. Of Montreal fans will recognize this as a direct reference to Kevin Barnes, and indeed, the song was inspired when Mallis was watching the oM documentary The Past is a Grotesque Animal. Although Mallis describes the song as “fan fiction,” which tends to be worshipful, it also doesn’t shy away from being critical where criticism is perhaps due. The most obvious nod to of Montreal, really, is the song’s musical structure and vocal phrasing. The new EP is named The Hobby Lobbyist, and though it’s still a few weeks until you can grab it, you can check out “A Song For Georgie Fruit” at nicholasmallis.bandcamp.com. Keep up with all things Mallis via facebook.com/ nicholasmallis.

HEY, YOU, GET OFFA MY…: Cloud Recordings is hosting its annual festival Nov. 4–7 at the Caledonia Lounge, and the lineup this year is pretty stellar. There’ll be a total of 30 performances on two stages, and the selections run from the starkly experimental to the blissfully pop-oriented. Highlights include The Electric Nature, relative newcomers French Exit, Cult Fluorescent, Coombsbot, Naan Violence, Alec Livaditis (both solo and in duo with John Fernandes), the rarely seen Sea of Dogs, the even more rarely seen Summer Hymns, The Cryptides, The Shoal Creek Stranglers, Wanda and Cult of Riggonia, among others. Tickets are $7 at the door each night or $25 for all four nights. For more info, see cloudrecordings. com or facebook.com/ cloudrecordings. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW: Bombs Away Books is hosting a night named “Riot Grrrl and Rap for Racial Justice.” It happens Friday, Oct 30 and starts at 7 p.m. The idea behind the mixedmedia event is to host an effort “to dismantle sexism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, white supremacy, all racism and other unconsciousness of the 21st Century.” To this end, the night begins with a screening of Vega Darling’s Lost Grrrls: Riot Grrrl in Los Angeles, which came out this summer. Also up this night are Athens rapper Chrismis, organizer Stella Zine and Scottish activist/musician Ste McCabe, who really shouldn’t be missed if at all possible. For more information, see facebook.com/ bombsawaybooks. OLD TIME RELIGION: Rapper Donny Knottsville just released the final chapter in his “rock beats” trilogy, and it’s titled, appropriately enough, Rock is Dead. It’s produced by Knottsville, engineered by Joel Hatstat and has contributions from SOHI, Cubenza and Triz. This album features Knottsville-produced beats that pull samples from across a spectrum of rock music, where before he’s limited himself to a smaller pool of sources. For example, Hoof Beats, from February, featured only samples from long-running band Deerhoof. Anyway, his idea was to have this new record “harken back to the symbiotic, synergistic relationship rock and hip hop possessed throughout the 1980s.” Simply put, the 17-track album is the jam. It’s perfect for late-night cruisin’, daytime drinkin’, house partyin’, lawn mowin’ or whatever you like to do when listening to music. Knottsville’s lyrics are pretty damn rock solid, too, and worth more than a second listen. Dig it at donnyknottsville.bandcamp.com. f

Scary Movie? Five Little-Known Halloween Horror Gems By Carey McLaughlin news@flagpole.com

Ah,

October, the month we try to the scare the hell out of ourselves by watching as many horror movies as humanly possible. And there’s nothing quite as satisfying as discovering a hidden gem horror film. It’s like discovering that really cool band none of your friends know about yet. Here’s a look at five contemporary movies that may have eluded your radar. Whether or not you’re a rabid horror fan, these films should satisfy your thirst for blood. FRAILTY (1995) Near the height of character actor Bill Paxton’s Hollywood career and the beginning of future Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey’s, the former took a few months to direct this little-seen gem, a gothic family nightmare in which two brothers tell an FBI agent (Powers Boothe) the story of their struggle to survive with a single dad (Paxton) who may have more than a few family secrets

waiting to be unearthed. Without giving too much away, Frailty could be classified as a crime drama or suspense thriller, but its unending sense of dread, heightened by a beautifully layered plot and some truly unnerving scenes, allow it to exist in the horror universe. Boasting excellent performances all around, including great turns by child actors Jeremy Sumpter and, playing the role of a young McConaughey, Matt O’Leary (of the recent creature feature Stung), Frailty is worth discovering.

THE ORPHANAGE (2007) This Spanish chiller, released on the front end of the current “jump scare” wave, does an excellent job of creeping out viewers with the required elements of excellent sound, beautiful cinematography and haunting images. In the film, a city-dwelling couple, Laura (Belen Rueda) and Carlos (Fernando Cayo), along with their troubled son, move out to the country to reopen the orphanage where Laura grew up. Though she hopes to create a home for disabled children, ghosts from the past threaten to

the films on the list, receiving a brief and limited theater run, so I really don’t want to give too much away. If you like your horror more mysterious than gory, Triangle’s increasingly baffling plot should keep you entertained. YOU’RE NEXT (2011) Though the film grossed $18 million, doubling its budget and receiving solid reviews, most filmgoers never saw You’re Next, one of the most inspired slasher film homages since the nearly 20-year-old genre mainstay Scream. On the way to the family cabin for his parents’ wedding anniversary, Crispian (horror regular AJ Bowen, from House of the Devil and The Signal) and Erin (Aussie Sharni Vinson) encounter more than they expected as the reunion turns sour. Also starring are Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies, V/H/S) as Drake, their parents’ arrogant “favorite” child, and one of my favorite ‘80s scream queens,

bring the family to the brink of madness. It’s a class act, with Bayona channelling his best Guillermo del Toro (a producer on the film) and crafting one of the better contemporary takes on the old haunted-house theme. Rueda carries the film as the complex Laura, her subtlety and humanity meshing perfectly with the increasingly horrific happenings. The Orphanage delivers excellent atmosphere, great set pieces and an interesting story. TRIANGLE (2009) “One big head trip” is how I like to describe Christopher Smith’s enigmatic Triangle, a strange little stew of a horror flick, cooked with equal parts mystery, suspense, psychological horror, slasher flick and science fiction. Hardworking single mom Jess (Melissa George, a genre favorite) decides to spend the day with friends on a yachting trip, but as the boat drifts further from the shore and the weather begins to worsen, the discovery of

Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Chopping Mall). Atlanta horror wunderkind Adam Wingard is on a roll with the recent action-horror film The Guest, which received great buzz on the indie circuit. This film is an action-packed thrill ride, which is no small feat considering it primarily takes place in one location, and should fulfill your need for nasty, bloody, subversive, high-octane horror. You’re Next might just make you all red-eyed and nostalgic for the heyday of ‘80s slashers. f

;A6<EDA:#8DB

SLITHER (2006) Before the phenomenal success of the highly enjoyable Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn was one of independent film’s brightest rising stars. Following his industry beginnings with B-movie masters Troma Entertainment and, later, the incredibly subversive vigilante film Super, Gunn infuses the spirit of ‘80s low-budget splatter with high production values and a veteran cast to bring us this entertaining remake of a 1973 film. Anyone who saw GOTG knows that Gunn has a firm command of ensemble casts—here, it’s the always likable Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks and Michael Rooker of “Walking Dead”

fame—and a flair for spectacle. In Slither, an alien plague infects a small town, turning the residents into zombies and forcing a small band of townsfolk to try to escape the madness. Fifty percent classic monster movie and 50 percent zombie flick, it’s 100 percent fun.

conscience, Joanna Hoffman, a biopic role that always feels made up; apparently, the real Hoffman did encourage Jobs to be a better father to Lisa, the daughter he did not claim until she was three. Other reallife players include Jobs’ Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen, giving his all in a high-profile award magnet), former Pepsi CEO John Sculley (the always fascinating Jeff Daniels) and Andy Hertzfeld (the still criminally overlooked Michael Stuhlbarg). STEVE JOBS (R) For the people who missed Sorkin based his script on Walter the Ashton Kutcher-starring Jobs or the Isaacson’s biography, and he smartly documentary recently screened at Ciné, focuses on these handful of moments, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, Danny rather than trying to show us everything Boyle and Aaron Sorkin have teamed up that ever made Jobs the creative asshole he to tell us again how revolutionary Apple apparently was. Boyle’s direction is uncharacteristically inert and Steve Jobs lacks the kineticism that highlights his strongest efforts. We probably will not get a better biopic on Steve Jobs, but did we need this many?

Movie Melting Pot From Weddings to Witch Hunters By Drew Wheeler movies@flagpole.com

ROCK THE KASBAH (R) Filmmaker Barry Levinson is the epitome of hit-or-miss. His latest, Rock the Kasbah, would be a weak single that barely dribbles out of the infield, but scorers would still count it a hit, mostly thanks to star Bill Murray. Murray is down-and-out music tour manager Richie Lanz, who risks his life on a USO tour of Afghanistan featuring his assistant, Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel), who seems to only cover Meredith Brooks’ catchy late-‘90s hit, “Bitch.” While in the country, Richie befriends an aging prostitute, Merci (Kate Hudson), and assists a Pashtun girl, Salima (Leem Lubany), in breaking her traditional culture by singing in public on “American Idol” knock-off “Afghan Star.” The true story of Setara Hoseinzadeh, recounted in the Daddy, why is it so freakin’ slow? 2009 documentary Afghan Star, co-founder Steve Jobs was. Boyle and inspired Mitch Glazer’s script, which never Sorkin’s biopic is fascinatingly structured, satirically pops like it should. Instead, the taking place at three seminal PR moments movie lazily meanders along on Murray’s in Jobs’ career, and greatly benefits from sizeable charm. Scott Caan, Danny McBride Michael Fassbender’s spot-on portrayal. and Bruce Willis drop by like sitcom neigh(In all fairness, Kutcher did not completely bors with little to do. The movie is far from suck as Jobs; his movie just felt more madeunwatchable but drags more often than for-TV.) Kate Winslet seems to play Jobs’ glides.

MEET THE PATELS (PG) The Patel family stars in this charming, tiny documentary about 30-something Ravi’s search for love in the traditional way of his culture. After breaking up with his red-headed girlfriend, Ravi charges his parents with the task of finding him a wife the old-fashioned way. With his sister, Geeta, as his videographer, Ravi uses bio data (i.e. a personal resume) to choose girls with whom to go on dates. The grown children have these bio datas sometimes wittingly, sometimes unwittingly submitted by their parents. But Ravi’s search for the perfect Indian wife is not what makes this movie so charming; it is the dynamic of the Patel family. Ravi’s mother and father, Champa and Vasant, walk the fine line between modern Americans and traditional Indians. Their children have clearly assimilated into American culture, but that conflict is exactly what leads Ravi on the personal journey that sparks this documentary. Hopefully, this sweetly comic doc will find a larger audience to enjoy the sometimes embarrassing romantic misadventures of Ravi Patel and his fam. THE LAST WITCH HUNTER (PG-13) Swell FX and not much else dominate this urban fantasy movie that absolutely reeks of familiar material. Vin Diesel’s witch hunter, Kaulder, is immortal and prefers swords, much like the Highlander. He canters with a bit of the swagger of author Jim Butcher’s wizard PI, Harry Dresden, through a world of witches and demons that recalls weird, occult-set video games like “Devil May Cry” and “Bayonetta.” Kaulder’s tragic past hints at video game smash “God of War,” while the whole aesthetic is a bit “Max Payne.” In short, Last Witch Hunter is light on originality or sense and heavy on the kind of dumb fun that can while away a rainy weekend of cable movie watching. The possibly miscast Diesel charms his way through several scenes like he’s back playing extreme 00 agent XXX, which fails to fit the fantasy vibe. Michael Caine and Elijah Wood tag team the role of Kaulder’s priestly protector and pal. Big bads Belial (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) and the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) are generic and unmemorable. Occasionally rushed and poorly explained, the movie’s last act suffers from an uninteresting “twist” that will not surprise anyone—even the guy who was not really paying attention. f

Though Richman’s recent recorded output is limited to a pair of 7-inch singles released earlier this year, his storied live performances consist mainly of hand-picked gems from his massive back catalog, including crowd favorites “I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar” and “Let Her Go Into the Darkness.” The songwriter’s former band is credited with helping spark punk rock in the 1970s, but his lyrical, literate output stands apart for its melodic frankness and near-total lack of cynicism. [Gabe Vodicka]

Washington Farms · $10–14 Washington Farms’ annual maze, this year cut into a “Go Dawgs” theme, features approximately two miles of pathways winding through eight-and-ahalf acres of corn. Clues are scattered throughout the fields to help the directionally challenged, and maps are available at washingtonfarms.net.

A portion of sales will benefit Kupendwa Ministries in Uganda, a faith-based program that provides health services to mothers and infants in rural villages. Daytime activities are held 4 p.m.–dark on Friday, 10 a.m.–dark on Saturday and 1–6 p.m. on Sunday. Night activities are held until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. [Jessica Smith]

Crocker is currently in the midst of an eight-week U.S. tour in support of the record as well as her first-ever book, In North America, a photo-heavy, streamof-consciousness work about her life as a traveling independent musician. Also on Monday’s Go Bar bill are local indie-pop act Angel Parade, hip hop project Midnight Boi and experimental group Stupid Idiots. [GV]

RUTHIE 43895

This is Ruthie, a sweet 4-6 month old Lab mixed with something smaller than a Lab. She was happy and calm as I carried her out to the interaction pen, and STILL she explored quietly RUTHIE when I put her down in the grass. However, when she spied a young boy, she got very excited and ran to the fence and barked joyously at him calling him over, which worked. She obviously LOVES kids and has energy to match theirs. She is a quick learner and a happy girl.
