Climate Change Wreaks Havoc on the South By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com Over the past few weeks, extreme weather has ripped through the South with a severity we don’t often see. South Carolina was hit by rainstorms that are only supposed to happen once every thousand years. Roads were flooded all over the state, dozens of dams burst, and the University of South Carolina was even forced to move a football game against LSU to Baton Rouge. A few weeks later, Tybee Island made history when a 10.5-foot tide swamped much of the island and U.S. 80, the highway that links the island to Savannah. It was the third-highest tide ever recorded there, exceeded only by surges in 1940 and 1947 that were caused by hurricanes. High tides in South Carolina washed away most of the sand from a $30 million renourishment project completed just last year on the eastern end of Folly Beach. Over in Alabama, the water coming inland was so high that a homeowner in Fowl River, about 16 miles from Mobile Bay, found a dead shark deposited in her front yard. “It was crazy,� the homeowner said. It also illustrated what we can expect to see in the coming years: A lot of extreme weather events that cause a lot of damage. Sea levels are rising as polar caps, glaciers and ice sheets melt under temperatures that continue to reach record levels. Warmer air also holds more moisture, which means longer and stronger rainstorms like the ones that dumped all that water on southern states. The consensus among an overwhelming number of scientists is that these extreme weather events and rising sea levels are linked to the effects of global warming and climate change. You still find many people in elective office, however, who deny that climate change is happening and denounce

it as a “liberal hoax.� They oppose all efforts to try to cut down on the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. U.S. Rep. Rick Allen (R-Augusta) said, “I am not convinced and I am certainly not ready to destroy jobs and whole industry sectors in order to tax industries liberals don’t like and send the money to sectors that they do like.� U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Cassville) said, “Some politicians and bureaucrats believe in whatever theory gives them an opportunity to take money from the energy sector and spend it themselves in the name of saving the planet.� Gov. Nathan Deal said through a spokesman: “This is more of a national and international policy issue, not one where we should or would weigh in.� The EPA implemented clean air regulations requiring coal-burning power plants to reduce greenhouse gases by the year 2030. Attorney General Sam Olens sued the EPA to have the regulation thrown out. Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s administration forbids state employees from using the terms “global warming� or “climate change� in any public statements or reports. In 2012, the North Carolina legislature passed a law that prohibits the state from basing its coastal development policies on scientific predictions of how much sea levels will rise. King Canute tried something similar a thousand years ago when he commanded the tides not to come in and wet his feet. It didn’t work for him either. As the denials from our public officials continue, we will keep getting closer to the day when the entire Georgia coast, perhaps, is submerged under water. Mother Nature tends to ignore political ideologies. f

A Lost Cause General Beauregard’s and Downtown Racism By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com Fifteen years ago, as a student at the University of Mississippi, I was involved in an effort to remove the Confederate emblem from the state flag. We failed miserably. But a week ago Monday, Ole Miss took down state flags flying on campus, because they incorporate the Confederate flag. I’m often embarrassed for my alma mater, but on that day I was proud. On the same day, here in Athens, an employee at the Confederate-themed bar General Beauregard’s went to a local print shop to have a list of drink recipes laminated. The list included a watermelonflavored “shooter” called a “N*****ita.” (Complete with asterisks, though as the website Jezebel noted, why bother?) On that day, most of us were embarrassed to call ourselves Athenians. It all started when a printshop employee posted a photo of the bartender cheat sheet on Facebook and vented about how disgusted he was by the drink name. It quickly spread on social media, with angry Athenians creating macros calling for boycotts and urging people to tell local officials to shut down the bar. (Many referred to it as a menu, which will become key later.) Tuesday morning, General Beauregard’s owner Daniel Simmons emailed a statement to Flagpole: “We had absolutely no knowledge of, and would never condone, this image that is claimed to be our drink menu. However, to be absolutely clear, we do not provide our customers with a drink menu with the exception of limited specials offered on chalk boards displayed openly by the front door and behind the bar. The

circled drink included in the picture is not something we have ever served to customers or advertised and would never be approved by ownership. We are investigating the origin of this photograph, and will take appropriate action to resolve this matter as needed.”

It all started when a print-shop employee posted a photo of the bartender cheat sheet on Facebook and vented about how disgusted he was by the drink name.

“

Some questioned whether the image was a hoax. On Friday, Simmons and co-owner Dominick Gardner came clean: The drink recipe exists, they acknowledged to the Athens Banner-Herald. They claimed they had no knowledge of it prior to the socialmedia outburst and that no one had ever

ordered or served it. Hours after Flagpole posted its initial story last Tuesday morning, it had spread everywhere. A dozen national websites and two Atlanta TV stations picked it up in the following days. That night, General Beauregard’s didn’t open up. It didn’t open Wednesday, either, leading to speculation that the bad PR had forced it to close for good. The bar’s social media presence vanished, too, but not before critics dug up more damning images off its Facebook page and Twitter feed advertising “Club Noregard” April Fool’s Day parties where (presumably white) patrons were urged to dress like pimps, drug dealers and rappers, reminiscent of those blackface fraternity Halloween parties that pop up in the news every year around this time. “We’re not trying to be racist,” Simmons told The Red & Black when the bar opened in 2003. And he and Gardner apologized for the shot name. But this bar—whose whole business model is based on serving a clientele that’s nostalgic for the time of slavery—has been a blight on downtown for 12 years. For most of that time, it prominently flew the Confederate flag—adopted long ago by the KKK as a symbol of segregation—only removing it after the Charleston, SC massacre of nine African American churchgoers. The “N*****ita” story prompted others to share more tales of racist behavior at General Beauregard’s and downtown in general. One UGA graduate student said that a General Beauregard’s bartender spit on her and her then-boyfriend as they walked down Clayton Street four years ago because they were an interracial couple. And many African American students say some student-oriented bars use selectively applied dress codes to keep them out. Meanwhile, Gardner and Simmons said the bar (named for Confederate general P.G.T. Beauregard) was merely closed for the week of fall break; it was to reopen

Monday—and it’s keeping its Dixie theme. There are bigger issues here than an offensive shot name. If local businesses are discriminating against African Americans, that’s against federal law. The Department of Justice should do something about it, and so should Athens-Clarke County. Right now, there isn’t much ACC can do, though. Anyone who’s 21 and a legal U.S. resident with a clean record and $5,000 can walk into the ACC Finance Department and get an alcohol license. That might change. Several city officials said that, in the wake of this controversy, they’re going to take a hard look at the downtown drinking culture and are exploring their legal options to take action against bars that discriminate. For all its faults, Ole Miss has done a lot to come to grips with its painful legacy. In Athens, we rarely give it much thought. Perhaps because we’re so progressive in so many ways, we think we don’t need to. But we do. Our neighborhoods are segregated. Our minority communities are impoverished. And not all of our students feel welcome in the heart of city. If Ole Miss can change for the better, so can we. Student Housing: Downtown continues to turn into a de facto UGA dorm, as Athensbased CollegeTown Properties is turning the old Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother building on East Clayton Street into five five-bedroom apartments. CollegeTown Properties owns hundreds of student-oriented houses and apartments units all over town (as well as in Clemson, SC), and is the same company that’s renovating the White Columns apartment building on Hancock Avenue. Big Data: Community Connection is nearing the end of a more than year-long project where they’ve gathered information on people who seek social services in Athens and built a database aimed at helping local nonprofits provide those services more effectively. A rollout and training session will be held at noon Thursday, Nov. 5 in the Athens Regional Medical Services Building (off King Avenue south of the main hospital).

It’s Time for the Big Payback The Six Stages of Georgia Grief How to Tell if Home Improvements Will Save You Money

Because Five Isn’t Enough for Losing to Florida

By Jason Perry news@flagpole.com

By Cy Brown news@flagpole.com

When managers of commercial, industrial and even government-owned facilities consider an investment in energy efficiency or renewable energy, they are primarily interested in the financial return on investment. Different organizations will have their own standards for how long an acceptable payback period is, but unless there are other compelling benefits to a project, everyone will agree that it should—at worst—pay for itself before the end of its useful life. For those of us with good intentions but limited resources, it’s important to think through this process when faced with energy-saving opportunities at home. A few years ago, some LED light bulbs cost $90,

efficient one? Often it isn’t, at least if your only motive is energy cost savings. But if you must replace a piece of equipment, and you have a choice between one model and a more expensive and efficient one, your payback analysis should be based on the cost difference and relative energy savings between the two. In these cases the payback is usually pretty good, especially if rebates or tax credits apply. Things get tricky when you want to invest in projects to save on heating and cooling. How do you know how much of your annual utility costs are for air conditioning versus laundry, cooking or water heating? Luckily, we’re at a great time of year to find out—what we call the “shoulder

Georgia was trounced 27-3 by the Florida Gators Saturday at the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville. If you watched, you don’t need me to tell you how ugly it was. If you didn’t watch, be happy for that little extra joy you have because of it. Due to the circumstances, I won’t walk you through the game like I normally do in this space. Instead, I’ll guide you through the stages of grief I experienced following the crushing defeat in the hope that it might help you work through your feelings. Misery loves company, and it loves the Georgia Bulldogs.

Bargaining: Is there any way Jacob Eason— the nation’s best high school quarterback and a Georgia commit—can just forgo his final year of high school and come in and start right now? Can we fire Mark Richt and get the trajectory of this program changed? How about we completely defund the football program and invest in a time-travel department? Would we have enough money to develop sufficient technology to allow us to travel back in time and win this game or, better yet, make it where UGA football never existed so no one ever feels this pain? Depression: There is no hope, and there will never be any hope. We very well may lose to Auburn. Hell, we may lose to Kentucky. And Georgia Tech doesn’t look Sean Taylor / UGA Athletics

Heinrich Klaff

Denial: This isn’t really happening. There’s about seven minutes left. Sony Michel can break a few big runs, and maybe we’ll bring Greyson Lambert back in, and he’ll turn the season around. An onside kick, maybe a special teams touchdown, and we’re back in the thick of it. Mark Richt will show us all up and prove he’s actually the smartest coach in America. Brian Schottenheimer will… (Clock strikes 0:00.) Maybe there’s some scenario where we can still win the

tackle Kelvin Taylor for once in our lives. He’s almost single-handedly beaten us the past two years with 318 yards and four touchdowns total against us in that span. There’s so much talent on our defense, but he just prances right through it. With the high level we recruit at, HOW ARE WE SUCH GARBAGE!?!?

Please, please, please replace your light bulbs with LEDs.

a sum that only keen early adopters would pay. Now that LED bulbs can be had for under $10, is it worth it to you? Let’s find out. Say you have a light in your kitchen that stays on for four hours every day, or 1,460 hours in a year. If you pay $0.12 per kilowatt-hour of electricity, then a 60-watt incandescent bulb costs $10.51 per year to operate (0.06 kW x 1,460 hours x $0.12/ kWh). A $9 LED replacement is just as bright but uses 11 watts, so it costs $1.93 to operate for a year (a savings of $8.58). The simple payback period is the project cost divided by the annual savings, in this case one year plus a couple of weeks. After that, you’ve got an extra eight bucks or so per year to use for something else until the LED bulb dies; it has a rated life of 25,000 hours, so at 1,460 hours per year, it should last about 17 years. This seems like a pretty good investment—even if you move, you can take the bulbs with you, Money Pit-style. No conservation measure can save you more in a year than the total amount you spend on utilities—the average household in Georgia spends about $2,000 per year on energy—so it is important to track your bills over time and know how they’re calculated. Fancy light bulbs are a low-risk investment, but is it worth ditching an old but working refrigerator for a more

season,” when you don’t need AC or heat. Assuming you do just about everything else the same year-round, your bills for this part of the year and around April will show you your baseline, non-HVAC-related energy use. Deduct that amount from your annual usage to estimate how much energy you use for heating and cooling. Remember that some portion of your electric and gas bills is a flat, monthly “customer service” or similar charge that won’t change with usage. If you’re looking into a large and expensive home improvement project, it is worthwhile to have a consultant run a computer energy model of your house to evaluate the energy savings potential of different options. This is the best way to know how cost-effective your planned improvements are, weighing in other factors, such as how long you intend to keep the house and the potential effects on resale value. Remember that if you need to do a project anyway, such as replace shingles, you want to calculate the payback for energy efficiency options based on the relative cost between more efficient products or methods (e.g. more reflective roofing) and the bare minimum option (e.g. basic shingles), not the full cost of the project. f Got a question for the Greensplainer?

Quarterback Faton Bauta, not throwing an interception.

SEC East with three losses. If Florida loses to Vanderbilt and South Carolina and we win out? Nope. But maybe if… No… Anger: Why in god’s name did we leave Faton Bauta in the entire game? The man threw four interceptions. Four! I know that Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey are hot garbage at quarterback, but Bauta is somehow worse. Are we really in such a bad spot that a third-string player is having the worst game any of our players have had this year, and we decide to leave him in the game? How did our program reach this point? We haven’t scored a touchdown in two games. It’s like we started Aaron Murray as a freshman, then decided we never had to recruit a QB again. More Anger: AND HOW DID WE MAKE ANOTHER SPECIAL TEAMS MISTAKE THAT LED TO A TOUCHDOWN? This team isn’t good enough to win if we just give opponents points. And how about we

like the easy win it once was. Seriously, we could lose out and and go 5-7. What’s worse, even if that happens, we won’t get rid of Richt. Richt will lead us to mediocre season after mediocre season, and we’ll keep him in charge because of some misguided notion that he’s a “nice guy.” We’ll continue to be the one team that everyone agrees should be a Top 10, but just isn’t. Football is dumb, and we’re all stupid. Acceptance: I still love this team and program more than any sane person should love an institution. Despite my anger (and more anger), wild ideas about how I’d change the program and my constant cries to get rid of Richt, I’ll cheer just as loud this week as I cheered last week and every week before that. I hope the rest of Georgia’s faithful take the time to work out their rage, then join me as I continue to cheer on the Dawgs. Now let’s go beat Kentucky. f

Tiny Houses Are Huge

Going Small is Getting Popular, but Regulations Stand in the Way By Sarah Anne Perry news@flagpole.com

T

iny houses have entered the Pinterest daydreams of many an American over the last few years. Television programs like HGTV’s “Tiny House, Big Living” and “Tiny House Hunters” showcase the benefits of living in small spaces—often smaller than 300 square feet—and tiny house communities have sprung up outside of progressive cities throughout the U.S. UGA is even offering a course on tiny house construction this semester. People choose to go tiny for reasons of simplicity and environmental sustainability, but John Kernohan says the reason for the lifestyle’s entrance into the mainstream is its financial viability. “It all makes sense because since the real estate bubble, the recession, nationwide people are downsizing,” he says. “They’re downsizing their homes, they’re downsizing their cars, they’re even downsizing their lifestyles.” For the last three years, Kernohan has shared 304 square feet of living space with his wife, Fin Davies, and their five cats. After gaining an online following by documenting the building of their home near Dublin, GA, online, they founded the Georgia Tiny House Association, which offers support and information for potential and current tinyhousers. In March 2016, the association will host the first Georgia Tiny House Festival, a celebration and showcase of tiny building and living.

Not in Athens—Yet Though the worldwide movement is growing throughout the U.S. and in Georgia, Athens’ would-be tiny-housers are out of luck at the moment. There isn’t a legal precedent for how to approach tiny homes, and they don’t fit well into the books. When viewed as houses, they violate building codes about size and mobility; when viewed as trailers, they come into conflict with intown zoning regulations.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 4, 2015

“Typically I think where you’re seeing them are very rural lots out in the countryside, out on a farm, something like that, where just in general people are a little less interested in what their neighbors are doing,” says AthensClarke County planner Marc Beechuk. “I think that’s one of the other things that is a balancing act for our zoning code—the rights of the personal property owners with what their neighbors are gonna complain about.” But Athenian proponents of tiny living, like Paula Loniak, insist their homes would only benefit the city. Smaller living expenses would mean more disposable income, which would enable greater spending at local businesses, says Loniak, and the houses themselves, she argues, would contribute to Athens’ aesthetic. “They’re not eyesores. They’re nicely built in most cases,” she says. “I guess there could be some rules or whatever to ensure that they’re not gonna be an eyesore for the rest of the neighborhood or wherever they’re put. But that’s the problem— where are we gonna put them?” Loniak says she wants to simplify her life by downsizing, but another major draw is the financial freedom of owning a house that, if she builds it herself, might cost as little as $12,000. Athens, with ever-rising rents and property values, is becoming increasingly less affordable for longtime residents. “It seems like all the building that’s going on in Athens is geared towards the UGA students, and it’s not taking into consideration the people that are gonna be here permanently, for more than four years,” Loniak says. “I want to stay in Athens, and I’m getting priced out.”

The Price is Right Athens’ rent problems reflect the national affordable housing crisis, says UGA Family and Consumer Sciences professor Kimberly Skobba, but ours is special. “It’s worsened a bit, because you have students competing with yearround residents for housing,” says Skobba, who studies low-income households and communities and their housing

options. She is also one of the professors teaching the tiny house construction class this semester. It doesn’t help that rental assistance programs “haven’t kept pace with the demand or the need, either,” she says. A tiny house could be just what Loniak needs, and she’s bringing other Athenians on board. There are 68 tinyhousers in her Athens Tiny House Meetup group, and she recently brought up the inability to build tiny at an ACC Commission meeting. If others bring the issue to their commissioners’ attention, she hopes, intown tiny living could become a reality. “One of my biggest concerns is our intown neighborhoods becoming less and less affordable for regular folks and for our creative class,” says Commissioner Melissa Link, a longtime advocate for affordable housing and an enthusiastic supporter of Loniak’s proposals. “Tiny houses, I believe, could be a very important prong in a multi-pronged approach to affordable housing in Athens. “The people that put Athens on the map by creating this arts and music scene, part of the reason they settled here is because we had these great neighborhoods intown, near our commercial corridors and right near downtown, where they could all live in close quarters, which is what’s necessary for that creative environment,” she says. “Creative people feed off each other. And they’re getting dispersed to the suburbs, or they’re moving to other cities.” Even as swanky complexes for college kids take over the downtown area, rents, home prices and property taxes for everyday Athenians continue to rise in many neighborhoods. “Honestly, I believe that diverse neighborhoods are healthy neighborhoods,” Link says. “They’re healthy communities. And I don’t wanna live in a community where artists and musicians and restaurant managers and schoolteachers can’t afford to live.” While pre-built tiny homes can cost upwards of $60,000, they can be built for much less, and the utilities are cheap. They are also small enough, Link says, to be placed on lots too small to legally hold conventionally sized houses. “We’re gonna have to have a real come-to-Jesus moment

Monsters All Year Round Reginald McKnight and the Horror of Being Powerless By Gabrielle Lucille Fuentes poetlandia@flagpole.com Last month, before anyone was really thinking about Halloween, Reginald McKnight read a horror story at the Avid Poetry Series. Readings can be hard for fiction writers: We rarely have material short enough, and no matter how alive a story is on the page, it’s often difficult to pull it off that paper and shape it into something people want to sit and listen to. But when McKnight said he was going to cut his story short because of time, the packed house booed. His was a story within a story: A young black man obsessed with ghost tales asks his father to tell him one. What follows is harrowing, not for any blood or gore, but for the threat of violence, the horror of being powerless and unable to protect your body against systems of terror built centuries ago. McKnight specializes in this type of horror. His monsters are real, and they can’t be kept away with garlic. They are in your neighbor’s house and yours; they are that bar on Clayton Street; they walk and talk all year round. Like Toni Morrison or James Baldwin, McKnight carries a mirror in which ghosts can be seen. He teaches us which ones to fight and which ones to listen to. McKnight has written many wonderful books—The Kind of Light that Shines on Texas, White Boys, Moustapha’s Eclipse, He Sleeps and I Get on the Bus—and won many awards. Besides being an amazing writer and reader, McKnight is

also an invested mentor. He has taught creative writing at UGA for 13 years, and with students he is a deep listener, interested in finding the soul of their work. Though often mistaken for a jazz musician, he wants to take this opportunity to insist that “honest to beansâ€? he is not. The following is an excerpt from “Bread: or The Baker’s Tale,â€? a short story that seems very difficult to classify—is it a fable, a mystery? I like the world it creates, rich in flora and fauna, unfamiliar yet clear, and I like where it leaves us, right on the precipice of a great unknown.

The earth’s skin, it seemed to Bread, had become a million toads.

Reginald McKnight

E

ach morning on the threadbare path, spring burgeoned, and every morning Bread would see and the horse would hear and smell new flowers, new beasts, emerging from hibernation. There would be new spider webs, both violet and white. A giant horn wing might buzz his ears to show him who is king, or a small pink butterfly might ride the horse’s haunch for three full miles. One Friday he saw a giant green roach and a golden roach scuttling under the same rock for fear of the horse’s hooves. The next Friday he thought he saw the great green one eating the hind parts of his golden former compatriot. He also saw three Chester’s lizards sunning themselves, three blue ribbons on a carpet of moss, not a horse-length away. One of them watched the roaches from the joint of his eye, and that eye did not once break its gaze. “It’s all eating in this forest,� Bread mumbled to the horse. But one late spring day, three toads started from his footfall—in the sloppy way they leap, of course. Even the small ones land like sacks of pudding, and in order to take a subsequent leap, must gather their limbs together like so many yarrow stalks under their

pudding bodies. They are easy to catch, though few animals touch them. Bread slowed his pace to let them pass into the elbow grass, which grows thick all along the threadbare path. So, not long thereafter, two more toads pitched themselves away from the horse and boy, and vanished again into the elbow grass, and two more stood in profile on a stone the size of a man’s head, and four more stared at him from a low banyan branch, and thirty clung to the tree’s massive trunk, and twelve of them were on the opposite side of the path, on a stone the size of a man’s trunk, and over forty watched as they sat on a mat of rusty needles under an ancient vinegar pine. And over three hundred of them bobbed up and down and over and across one another’s backs and upturned bellies as they moved to clear themselves from the threadbare path. Then, the path took the usual sharp curve around an enormous boulder, and when boy and horse completed the near circuit, the toads were an uncountable mass. The earth’s skin, it seemed to Bread, had become a million toads. So heavy they were, that they pressed the elbow grass clean to the soil. The horse, the boy could not move.

Find Your Happy Local Plays Ask What You’re Living For By Dina Canup arts@flagpole.com You Can’t Take It With You Imagine you didn’t have to worry about paying rent or bills, or how to afford groceries or gas. You live in a house where anything goes, and everyone is free to follow their bliss. What would you do with your time? Assume it’s 1936 and you can’t binge-watch shows on Netflix or kill time on Buzzfeed quizzes. Meet the Sycamore family, breezily occupied in their own artsy and zany pastimes despite the troubled times in which they live. All they ask of God in a pre-meal blessing is “to just go along and be happy in our own sort of way,” which apparently includes never paying income taxes. Yes, they’re all rather insular and a bit cheerfully crazy. Except for Alice (Briana Young), who is unusual in the family: She has a job. She’s also in love with a distressingly normal guy, VP of the company she works for and the boss’ son, Tony (Gil Eplan-Frankel). The night Tony’s straight-laced parents come over for dinner at the Sycamore house could have inspired similar meetings in films like The Birdcage and My Big Fat Greek Wedding if couples who come from wildly different families didn’t fall in love so often as to be easy fodder for romantic comedies. And this romantic comedy is a classic of American theater. It’s considered one of the most popular plays of all time in a country where the pursuit of happiness is so fundamental that it’s considered a human right equal to life and liberty. Will Alice and Tony’s love prevail, or will Alice’s nutty family ruin everything? The plot almost doesn’t matter. Director Justin Anderson (associate director of the Aurora Theatre) points out that the idea of “finding your happy” is what matters here, that happiness “isn’t a destination; it’s a journey.” And once the audience enters the wacky lives of the Sycamore clan, they’re on the journey, too. There are some uncomfortable ways in which the script, with some distressingly clichéd ethnic representations, has not aged so well. It will be intriguing to see how Anderson’s casting choices for some of the roles brush off some of the cobwebs from the story. You Can’t Take It With You (by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman) is presented by University Theatre at the Fine Arts Theatre in the Fine Arts Building Nov. 6 and 11–14 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 8 and 15 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $16 or $12 for students, and available at drama.uga.edu/box-office.

Middletown In 2013, the New York Times called Middletown a “delicate, moving and wry amble along the collective road to nowhere.” For those who love to smile in the face of darkness (fans of Nihilist Arby’s, for example), they will recognize and even celebrate the moments of cheerful despair that color occasional interactions between Middletown’s denizens. They are all of us in miniature—fear, anxiety and bleakness notwithstanding. Along with two of the characters we will meet, we’re all simultaneously just “yahoos on vacation” in a quiet kind of normal need “for serious truth.” The truth of Middletown, an eloquent portrayal of the joy and pain of living inspired by Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, may be that we are so very lucky to be here at all, as another character puts it. As with You Can’t Take It With You, it asks what we are living for, this time in a postmodern way undoubtedly intertwined with the present-day mood. It’s not escapist optimism, but rather beautifully wrought language that articulates the unbearable heaviness of being along with the hope that perhaps life is beautiful after all. Middletown (by Will Eno) is presented by The Thalian Blackfriars in the Cellar Theatre of the Fine Arts Building Nov. 9–10 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door. Visit ugathalian.wix.com/blackfriars. Mary Poppins She’s no Supernanny fixing a dysfunctional family by whipping everyone into shape with her militant tactics, but a creature of free-spirited magic who arrives to transform lives through fantasy and song-and-dance numbers.

All it takes is a little supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to save the day and turn a grumpy dad into a happy jokester. Mary Poppins: The Musical (by Cameron Mackintosh) is presented by Athens Creative Theatre at the Morton Theatre Thursday, Nov. 12–Saturday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15, $12 for seniors, students and children, or free for ACC employees with ID.

By the People, For the People Cause + Effect Film Festival is a Platform for Social Progress By Madeline Bates arts@flagpole.com

F

ilm is perhaps better equipped to inspire social transformation than any other, more static form of art. Especially in documentary format, film can achieve the effect of placing the viewer at the documented moment in time, creating lasting visceral memories and fostering deeper understanding of the human experience. Film engages, informs and inspires, all while keeping the viewer entertained. This is the goal of Athens’ newest film festival, Cause + Effect. Cause + Effect features short documentary-style films from Georgia that address contemporary progressive social issues. The festival is hosted by Alliance for a Better Georgia, an Athens-based nonprofit dedicated to educating Georgians on a variety of current social, environmental and political reform issues in order to improve quality of life across the state. Brandon Hanick, who serves as director of both the festival and communications at Alliance, says one major goal of Cause + Effect is to provide Georgians an equal opportunity to share their voice with the public. With today’s technology, filmmaking is especially accessible to amateurs and younger, emerging artists. “With the Cause + Effect Film Festival, Alliance aims to engage younger Georgians by providing a platform to explore, through film, the issues that are important to their families and communities,” Hanick says. “We want more voices to speak out on issues that matter to all Georgians.” Two rounds of voting determined the strongest of 30 applicants from across the state, narrowing the pool to seven semifinalist films and, ultimately, three prize winners. In the first round, Alliance members selected semi-finalists on the basis of originality, clarity, professionalism and the potential to inspire real reform. The second round determined three winners via social media feedback: The video that got the most “shares” and “likes” won first place, and so on. This unusual voting process underscores the festival’s goal of creating real social impact, here gauged by the scope and involvement of the social media

audience. Each of the three winners was awarded a cash prize relative to their spot in the final lineup. “We hope that these films and Cause + Effect in general will create a spark that leads to more engagement on important issues and, ultimately, progress in Georgia,” says Hanick.

color, promoting the message that education is the way to create a better life. Flint River takes a closer look at the surroundings of the West Georgia river. The film opens with the stories of three Georgians who live along the river and progresses to a scuba diving expedition along the riverbed. An emphasis on the sublime serenity of respecting the wild prompts viewers to reconsider our connection with natural world and the urgent need to protect it from our own destruction. The Importance of Lios is a stop-animation narrative about a young earthworm named Lios—a clever name playing with the earthworms’ role of reversing soil health—who feels overlooked and insignificant in the world of animals, where bigger creatures

Fallen Soldier received second place in the competition.

Semi-Finalists The seven semi-finalist films reflect themes of environmental awareness, promotion of public education and the ongoing hot-button issue of police brutality. Films of a more amateur quality were by no means discriminated against in the semi-finalist selection, which speaks to the Alliance’s goal of providing an equal platform for all stories. The three winners were announced Tuesday, Oct. 27. Sunshine’s on the Way features a small adolescent cast in an African American community struggling with the hardships of coming into adulthood. The black-andwhite film has very little dialog; instead, the visuals follow a narrative in song, drawing links both to old-time silent movies and contemporary music videos. A hopeful resolution is complimented by a flourish into

stomp on his reputation. Students of UGA’s Dramatic Media Department produced this playful, educational short in partnership with the International Plant Nutrition Institute. Composting documents a workday for the UGA composting program, which diverts campus food waste to the UGArden, an organic teaching farm that supplies students with hands-on farming experience. The film features the program’s student leaders as they go through their daily activities, encouraging viewers to participate in more sustainable produce practices.

Prize Winners Grand prize winner Run for Justice is based on the Atlanta group that, since its founding in 2014, has completed two cross-country runs to raise awareness of

police brutality. Moments from these runs are incorporated within an otherwise nonsequential composite of film clips from around the world. A narrator speaking universal, spiritually-minded observations on the human experience inspires the viewer to reflect on our self-constructed separation from one another as the source of suffering in the world. First runner-up Fallen Soldier documents the impassioned response of the Chamblee County community in memory of Anthony Hill, a 27-year-old Air Force veteran who was fatally shot in a conflict with the DeKalb County Police this past March. The veteran suffered from the effects of bipolar disorder and was reportedly having a manic episode, acting incoherently in the parking lot of his home apartment complex. Hill was unarmed, and the community response speaks against police brutality and the consequences of using unnecessary force. Second runner-up We Farm Georgia features Gabby Montoya, farm manager of the Summerland Farm in Cartersville. A “first-and-ahalf” generation Mexican-American, Montoya’s parents and grandparents were farmers in Mexico, and she says that farming is a way she connects to her heritage and her own spirituality. Montoya encourages Latinos in America to nurture their passions by honoring their heritage as well as the American elements of their identity. Cause + Effect was awarded a $500 grant by the Athens Area Arts Council. As a free festival, Cause + Effect cannot generate revenue, so the grant is extremely valuable in that it will help offset associated production costs. Tickets to the showcase are free but required for entry and can be reserved on causeandeffectfilm.org. A reception catered with hors d’oeuvres from The National will kick off at 6:30 p.m., with the film screenings beginning at 7:30 p.m. A Q&A session with filmmakers will close out the night. For those who cannot attend the festival, the semi-finalist films can be found on YouTube. f

Sky High Vibes

Cloud Recordings Festival Returns By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

F

or the third year in a row, local musician, label owner, Wuxtry clerk, tastemaker and all-around lovable dude John Fernandes is set to take over the Caledonia Lounge with his Cloud Recordings Festival. The four-day celebration is designed to showcase Fernandes’ self-owned and operated Cloud Recordings imprint, as well as highlight some of his favorite non-label local acts. Fernandes started Cloud Recordings in 2001 “in the spirit of of artist-run record labels like Sun Ra’s Saturn imprint,” he says. Initially created as a way to self-release Circulatory System’s debut LP, Cloud would eventually become home to a variety of great Athens bands, including Cult of Riggonia, The New Sound of Numbers, Supercluster and others. After building such a stacked roster over 14 years, the idea of a festival showcasing these acts seemed like a foregone conclusion. After two successful runs, Fernandes isn’t looking to rock the boat with any major changes or expansions in 2015. “Not much has changed in three years,” he says. “I don’t want to mess with a good thing. The festival has gone smoothly every year. I attribute it to working with very good people.” This year, there are approximately 30 bands on the bill with no overlap, something that Fernandes believes, along with its jubilant and creative atmosphere, makes CRF one of the more unique experiences in the increasingly crowded Athens festival market. More so than larger events like AthFest or Slingshot, CRF puts a heavy emphasis on the interconnectivity of the Athens music scene. Many of the bands playing the festival share members, even if their sounds vary wildly. Fernandes, who comes from the notoriously communal Elephant 6 collective, seems to want to emphasize acts that live by the same code. Like he does year-round, Fernandes will appear on stage with several performers this week, providing his distinguished experimental touch. “The bands are all very

supportive of each other,” says Fernandes. “I’m really excited about every band playing.” Nonetheless, Flagpole asked Fernandes to highlight a few acts he is particularly pumped to see. We took his suggestions and added a few of our own picks to craft an enticing preview of this year’s CRF.

French Exit

11:30 p.m. Wednesday, main stage

French Exit is a psych-pop project led by Circulatory System and Olivia Tremor Control member AJ Griffin. The group’s sound is in line with the experimental tendencies of Griffin’s past projects, but with a strong accessibility that makes it easy for anyone with even a passing interest in psychedelic music to jump in. The band’s debut album, Jerk Store, released in early October, is one of the most notable local releases of 2015. French Exit’s small amount of material has led to a tight and consistent live set that should be a highlight of the week.

Scott Spillane EXP 10:30 p.m. Thursday, main stage

Spillane, of The Gerbils and Neutral Milk Hotel, was added to the bill at the last minute, but for anyone familiar with E6, his set is a must-see. Spillane has been playing shows under the EXP name for at least six years, and his sets are dependably excellent, if a bit understated. You can expect to hear some Gerbils material, but Spillane has plenty of material under the EXP branding that remains underrated—and, unfortunately, unrecorded.

Alec Livaditis

10:30 and 11:30 p.m. Friday, side stage

Improvisational cellist Alec Livaditis has become a fixture of the Athens music landscape. Known for his engrossing, textured solo work, Livaditis also frequently plays collaborative sets with other artists to small but passionate

audiences. In many ways, Livaditis and Fernandes mirror each other in terms of both artistry and passion for local music. The only difference is that you can find Livaditis working the counter over at Low Yo Yo Stuff instead of at Wuxtry. Friday, Livaditis will perform a solo set as well as a collaborative set with (of course) Fernandes. His debut album is due for release in early 2016.

Summer Hymns 12:30 a.m. Friday, side stage

Indie rock act Summer Hymns garnered critical acclaim in the early 2000s for their relaxing, breezy tunes, which were very much in fashion at the time. The band’s debut, Voice Brother & Sister, is one of the best local releases you’ll find from that time period, though it gets less love than it should. The Hymns haven’t released an album since 2006, and a live appearance from the band is extremely rare, so it would be a shame to miss their set.

WANDA

11:30 p.m. Saturday, main stage

WANDA has only been around for a little over a year but has already gained a lot of attention. Just as influenced by the surf-rock of The Beach Boys as by power-pop bands like Apples in Stereo, this pet project of lead singer Avery Draught has been a coming-out party for one of the greater creative minds in Athens. They only have a demo currently posted online, so seeing the group live is your only option if you want to get in on the ground floor of this exciting, E6-style throwback. f

Home On the Range Inside the Athens Cowboy Choir

+OREAN ""1 ,OUNGE

By Dan Mistich music@flagpole.com

C

over bands are a staple in any music scene, but they are rarely as singleminded as the Athens Cowboy Choir. The group was conceived when Nicholas Gould’s wife, Dottie Alexander, inherited a stock of records from the 1950s and ‘60s that once belonged to her late father. After falling in love with the Norman Luboff Choir’s Songs of the West, Gould consulted with Jamey Huggins about replicating Luboff’s arrangements in a live setting. Although the vast majority of the musicians affiliated with the Athens Cowboy Choir have served time in local indie rock bands (among them of Montreal and The Glands), many of the members also have strong backgrounds in voice that prepared them for their Cowboy Choir service. Gould sang in school choirs until college, and Huggins’ father has been a band and choir director at an Atlanta church for decades.

choir featuring instrumentalists Elijah NeeSmith (“Thumper�) on bass and Keiko Ishibashi (“O-Kei-Korale�) on fiddle. Matt Yelton (“Baby Gray�), Bryan Poole (“Texard�) and Brandon Reynolds (“Witchita�) round out the first tenors for the group, while “Lefty,� Joe Rowe (“Pokey�) and JoJo Glidewell (“Sunshine�) serve as second tenors. Davey Wrathgaber (“The Sherrif�) and Scott Spillane (“Snowball�) hold down the mid-range as the group’s baritones. “Tiny,� Matt Hudgins (“Deep Beef�) and Jay Gulley (“Guide Stone�) are the group’s basses. The Cowboy Choir has performed only a handful of shows, but members of the group say their crowds have been incredibly receptive. “We’ve gotten a pretty good response from our live show. In a way, there’s something about it that appeals [to audiences] because it’s so out of left field. And we like that about it,� says Gould.

Lest anyone be concerned that the Cowboy Choir, with its majority-male gender makeup, is exclusionary, Gould insists there are no sinister politics involved. “It’s not meant to be a boys club, per se,� says Gould. “But the nature of the beast is that it’s for men’s voices. There’s something about men singing together and working for a common goal; there’s no ego, really. It becomes this very positive thing. It’s just this weird, goofy Athens brotherhood.� Although the Athens Cowboy Choir has been slow in booking shows outside of its hometown, Gould says there are plans to expand by recruiting new members, and the group has been considering applying for nonprofit status because of its focus on historical preservation. “We are in this for the long haul, and we’re expanding our membership,� he says. “I would like to still be doing this in a decade.� f

Despite their choral backgrounds, the choir’s founders admit that arranging Luboff’s material can be arduous. “It takes anywhere between five–10 hours of carefully coordinated rehearsal to be able to sing one song that might be two and a half minutes,� says Gould. “It’s a lot of work that we put into it to bring it up to the standard that we hold.� The preparation may be difficult, but the group finds levity in staying true to the cowboy way. “The way the music is arranged can make it kind of stuffy sometimes, sort of churchy,� says Gould. “The character thing offsets that. When I go to a show and the performers are enjoying themselves, that’s the show I remember. Also, who doesn’t want to dress up like a cowboy?� Huggins adds that looking like a cowboy isn’t “just a gag;� in one instance, he says, the group stayed in character after a show and wound up eating beans out of a can while circled around a campfire. “Although there is an element of costumery to it, we try not to make it too ridiculous,� he says. “Looking the part is important, because it gets you into character and it’s fun to do.� In addition to Gould (who goes by the stage name “Tiny�) and Huggins (aka “Lefty�), the group is now an 11-person

Ten Years After Minus the Bear’s Menos el Oso  Gets the Anniversary Treatment By Andy Barton music@flagpole.com

I

t’s interesting looking back on one’s favorite albums 10 years after their release. Some hold up nicely, while the decennial reveals other records’ faults. Several standouts of the mid-aughts have recently reached this milestone, prompting re-examination from fans and critics, including Interpol’s Turn On the Bright Lights, The Postal Service’s Give Up and Minus the Bear’s Menos el Oso. Things have changed since 2005, as they tend to do, but as more of these essential listens reach their respective anniversaries, deluxe reissues and celebratory tours have become commonplace. Done right, these re-visitations play less on nostalgia than on the connection a band has with its audience, and Menos el Oso is a fine example. The Seattle five-piece has recently posted fragments of the 10th-anniversary experience on its Facebook page, including photos taken during a tour of Spain, one of the band’s first international excursions following the release of a debut album, Highly Refined Pirates, and two EPs. Bassist Cory Murchy says that string of shows abroad had a large influence on the writing of Menos el Oso. “It was completely inspiring for all of us. We had such a great

time with the people we were with. It colored the record quite a bit,” says Murchy. Indeed, traces of the tour peek through on the record in darkly romantic ways, as guitarist Jake Snider sings about “staring at the ocean crashing on all the rocks below” and “midnight on a beach on the Mediterranean”—on “Drilling” and “Pachuca Sunrise,” respectively. The time abroad supplied Snider with scenic observations and individual perspective, but a maturation seemed to be taking place; he was no longer fixated on boozy getaways, but on someone a continent away with whom he wanted to share these experiences. Around that time, Minus the Bear’s sound began to strike a chord with larger audiences. Menos el Oso found the band fine-tuning its two-guitar interplay. Electronics also took a more prominent place in the album’s compositions, and the drums sounded more deliberate. “It was definitely a record that opened our fanbase up to that many more people. It galvanized the fact that we were a band, and we weren’t going anywhere,” says Murchy. Minus the Bear has released new material consistently since then, including a Menos el Oso remix album, three full-

lengths, two records of re-worked acoustic material and a collection of B-sides and rarities. Plans are in the works to record an album with new drummer Kiefer Matthias, who joined the band earlier this year after longtime member Erin Tate took his leave. “We’re all super excited about the process,” says Murchy. “We’re all just gelling really well.” And while the band is preparing for its next move, for now, it’s time to focus on 2005. “It’s been fun to kind of roll up the sleeves and figure out what it was that we were doing and replicate that again,” Murchy says of the Menos tracks, many of

which the band rarely plays live anymore. When Minus the Bear takes the Georgia Theatre stage, they’ll return to that dogeared page, its words and melodies, and the band’s many fans, calling them back once more. f

Indie Fest Features Local Hip Hop and More Plus, More Music News and Gossip

SHOWCASE

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com NONSTOP NIGHT: Athens hip hop artist Blacknerdninja, in association with AthFactor Entertainment, is hosting the second annual Athens Indie Fest Friday, Nov. 6. This year’s happening takes place at Vega Studio (2145 S. Milledge Ave.), and doors open at 7 p.m. The event will focus on food, fashion, music and community, and a solid nod should be given its organizers for putting it all together. The lineup is stacked with lots of Southeastern hip hop, neo-soul and even one slice of pop-punk. Featured performers include Dictator, Tru Thought, Billy D. Brell, Yung Cuz, Qwintis Senial, Tee-Roy 3Mil, Mica-Audio, Squalle, Atlanta-based gospel duo JusUs, Blood Brothers, African Soul, Chrismis, Sonny Bamboo, M. Lewis, Team SS, Socro, Profound, Blacknerdninja and LG and The Swank. House music for the night comes courtesy of tune spinner Chief Rocka, as well as The Tiny Jazz Arkestra. Advance tickets are a mere $4.07 (yep, four dollars, seven cents) at eventbrite.com. Just head there and search for IndieFest, and you’ll be all set. For more information, drop a line to Montu Miller via athfactor@gmail.com or Eugene Willis via everything blacknerd@gmail.com. AND ANOTHER ONE: Travis “Dictator� West continues his streak of well-produced, totally catchy releases with his new single, “Go.� It’s the first single off an upcoming mixtape that’s—for now, at least—simply referred to as Blacknerdninja and LG Buddha. If it comes out by the end of the year, Dictator will have solidified his position as the most productive rapper in Athens for 2015. So, here’s hoping. Check out “Go� and a ton of other tracks over at soundcloud.com/dictatortharuler. GOOD: A chance meeting with a label owner Sean McDonald led me into the world of the MMM Sound label. Although I was initially tipped to the news that his project Heat Sureens had just released its beauty-drone full-length Meet Quan Yin on vinyl (a CD-R version came out last year), I wound up listening to a whole slew of releases from the label. Especially inviting were a new solo track from McDonald named “Halloween: This Astroid Ain’t Going to Hit On You,� which clocks in at about 17 minutes

and really feels like multiple compositions all bunched together, and the Transitions cassette by Germany’s Guenter Schlienz. For most of the artists on the label, you’ll need to do a little digging around to find out any info about them, but for me, at least, that’s a reminder not to expect everything in life to arrive instantly. Research is its own reward. Dig in at mmmsound.com and soundcloud. com/mmm-sound. GRAB SOME: The Lamar Dodd School of Art at UGA has a great show coming up Wednesday, Nov. 4. It’s presented in association with Slingshot and Spotlight on the Arts and features New York’s long-running, nearly impossible to categorize experimental band Zs. Now, technically, it’s billed as “Sam Hillmer and Patrick Higgins of Zs,� but like Meatloaf said, two out of three ain’t bad. Besides, Hillmer founded the whole thing, anyway. Also on the bill this night is the duo of cellists Alec Livaditis and Chelsea Dunn. This free performance begins at 8:30 p.m., is open to the public and happens at the Dodd Galleries (270 River Road). In related news, Hillmer will give a lecture at 2:30 p.m. this same day in the art school’s room S150. MOVIN’ ON UP: Local electronic composer Joseph Thrash, operating via his project Nifty Earth, released a new single last week named “The Breath� featuring vocalist Haley Hamblen (Space Mama). Overall, the track is a solid step up from Thrash’s already steady production and sensibilities. However, the main vocal melody is way too close to being a slowed-down copy of Ellie Goulding’s voice antics on Calvin Harris’ massive worldwide hit “I Need Your Love.� This criticism shouldn’t be taken as a slag on Hamblen’s actual voice, which is lush and dreamy and everything the track requires. The song is from an upcoming full-length release that Thrash is putting together with multiple collaborators and plans to release bit by bit, week by week, in early 2016. There’s a wealth of previously released material out on the web; check out everything so far at soundcloud. com/niftyearth, and follow along at facebook.com/nifty earth. f

record review Yip Deceiver: YPD E.P. (New West) After a recent expansion from “two-man boy-band� to full-on trio, electronic pop act Yip Deceiver has followed up its excellent 2013 debut, Medallius, with YPD E.P., a 20-minute, six-track EP. Featuring vocals and production from of Montreal alums Davey Pierce and Nicolas Dobbratz, as well as contributions from new drummer John Swint, YPD E.P. marks the beginning of Yip Deceiver’s transition into a more traditional live band. Compared to its strong, assured predecessor, YPD E.P. feels lackluster and unsure of itself. Moving away from the weird, synth-heavy electronic moments on Medallius (think “Obnoxia�), the EP puts an emphasis on Chromeo-esque electro-funk/nu-disco, with mixed results. A cover of Jennifer Paige’s ’90s hit “Crush� and the Mayer Hawthorne-produced “Red Line� are unquestionable winners, but uninteresting nostalgia grabs like “Party Line� and “Don’t Stop� fall flat on their face. None of these songs could be classified as “bad,� but Yip Deceiver’s entire premise is built around producing danceable pop hits, and most of these songs just aren’t hits. There is still plenty of hope for the full-length followup—due sometime next year—but YPD E.P. only serves as a halfway decent stopgap. [Nathan Kerce]

Slammin’ Sammies R.U. Hungry is a Late-Night Gem By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com R U?: Most of the time when people talk about New Yorkstyle deli sandwiches, they’re referring to a sandwich that’s nothing but a pound of meat and cheese stuffed between two thin, dry slices of bread. On the other hand, New Jerseyite Ray Hareb, who opened Lay-Z Shopper in downtown Athens in 2007, knows how to compose an excellent sandwich. His convenience store has been slicing Boar’s Head meats and cheeses to order and assembling them into to-go sandwiches from lunch to very late at night for eight years now, and when The Volstead closed down next door, he decided to spin off the fresh-food part of his operation into its own thing. R.U. Hungry (351 E. Clayton St., 706-548-6000) is basically the same as Lay-Z Shopper, but with a wider variety of eats and no poker chips or “smoking accessories.â€? The frills are essentially nonexistent. Little has been done to the interior. Part of the menu (personal pizzas) is currently covered with a piece of cardboard. There are some UGA signs slapped up on the greenish walls, and the logo, a weird-looking smiley face that manages to smile even as it raises its eyebrows and sticks out its tongue, clutches a knife in one disembodied hand and a fork in the other. If you cast an eye into the back kitchen, which seems to be used mostly for storage but is perfectly visible to diners, you may entertain yourself by estimating just how many giant jars of mayonnaise you see (19). This lack of emphasis may sound similar to the approach of Eddie’s Calzones, just down the block, which has a similar focus on late-night eats, but the food compensates for the spare atmosphere, and the policy of high-fives in exchange for tips creates camaraderie. The cold sandwiches (both specialty and build-your-own) are the same as before, with no loss in quality. Now there are hot ones, too. The “fatâ€? category, which includes sandwiches incorporating chicken fingers, french fries, mozzarella sticks, fried eggs, hamburger patties, jalapeĂąos and more, may seem like a good idea when alcohol is clouding your judgment, but its sandwiches aren’t as good as the ones just listed under “hot.â€? The cheesesteak is simple and direct, with well-cooked onions and peppers. Better still is the Fwopper, made with navel pastrami, pepper jack and banana peppers, which adds some zing to what could just be salt and fat. The California cheeseburger is bested by many in town, but at

$3.50 for a small, nicely assembled burger, it achieves its modest ambitions. A veggie sub is only $4.99, and you can also get a veggie burger, a falafel sandwich, a hummus sandwich or a spinach pie, fine concessions to non-meat-eaters. Not only is the restaurant a fine option for 2 a.m., but it is speedy, friendly, well priced and tasty during the daylight hours as well. R.U. Hungry is open 10 a.m.–4 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m.–5 a.m. Friday and Saturday. GRAVY: Kiki’s Bakeshop, in Watkinsville, may have had to close its restaurant spin-off, but it’s still supplying buns for the eatery that replaced it, Traveling Hobo CafÊ (20 Greensboro Hwy., 706-310-4323). Opened by some folks who aren’t new to the restaurant business—they owned a similar place in Savannah—Traveling Hobo focuses on burgers and is still a bit of a work in progress. There’s a big train theme in the decor, as well as a popcorn machine next to the cash register where you place your order and several flat-screen TVs tuned to one ESPN or another. The kitchen is small, as is the staff, and the dining room full, so do not expect your food to arrive exactly pronto. When it does, though, it will be tasty and clearly cooked to order. Burgers come in mushroom, bison, beef and lamb varieties, with a wide variety of toppings. The summer

BBQ burger, for example, features bacon, coleslaw and BBQ sauce, and makes a strong case for itself as a new standard. The lamb burger is cooked just right and comes with feta, red onion and tzatziki sauce. You can upgrade your side to a salad or to well-executed onion rings, but veering away from the restaurant’s excellent fries (thick-cut spirals, which can be paired with brown gravy) is a bit of a mistake. Portions are large, and the menu is not what you could call healthy on the whole, but it does include a big section of salads, including a fine “South Westernâ€? that piles on corn, black beans, avocado, cheddar, tomatoes, grilled chicken and tortilla strips. The fried fish sandwich is huge and well cooked but fairly minimalist. There are kids’ meals, new specials on the chalkboard and a mini-fridge stocked with Red Bull, as well as an $8 hot dog that comes with too many toppings to list. Traveling Hobo CafĂŠ is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and serves no booze. It seems prone to running out of some menu items, so have a backup plan in mind.

The Future is Foraging

5:30-8PM

An Old Way of Gathering Food Is Coming Back By Lauren Marie Schumacker news@flagpole.com Maumus says. “I think it really does take the right leaf, though, because I had read all this stuff like ‘Fry it like chips, cook it like collards, put it in a quiche, eat it in a salad,’ and I was like, ‘What an amazing plant!’ And then I tried that and was like, ‘Who’s eating this? And how hungry are they?’ “And when [Jones and Brandis] came in with this array of leaves, it was like, ‘OK, this makes sense.’ Those perfect leaves, you can sauté them, you can do all of those things with them, and they’re great.” As we meandered down the road, Maumus, Jones and Brandis continued to point right and left, back and forth across the road at lemony sorrel, a variety of plant that Maumus refers to as “baby okra,” sweet floral rose hips and distinctly Southern chainey briar— Maumus’ current favorite. Skinner and Maumus are voracious learners who document what they find and when. When we happened upon some mushrooms, Skinner, the mushroom expert of the group, identified one as a ringless honey mushroom. Mushrooms require know-how—Maumus and Skinner won’t eat anything they can’t confidently identify—because not all are edible and some are harmful. “The more I learned about wild edibles, the Mimi Maumus, Jason Jones (center) and Josh Skinner forage at Jones’ farm more I just kept asking, in Oglethorpe County. ‘Can you eat that? Can you eat that? Can you eat that?’” Maumus Still, as previously established, it’s not says. new. Chefs, professional foragers, mushAt the end of the road, we parked and room hunters and curious adventurers have walked over to the wild persimmon tree and long taken to forests, beaches, rivers and found ripe, candy-like persimmons (“like even their own backyards searching for a gelatinous peach,” Maumus says) and, inspiration from what’s readily available not too far away, orangey yellow walnuts in their environment. What’s more local that stained fingers. We then pulled on than wood sorrel growing right outside the boots and long-sleeved shirts and ventured restaurant? I had never been foraging—I’ll admit I’m towards the woods. After a rainy September, the woods were not always the most outdoorsy of girls— chock full of mushrooms: chanterelles, but my curiosity was officially piqued. So I more ringless honey and many more we asked local chef Mimi Maumus, owner of couldn’t 100 percent identify. As we walked, home.made in Athens and an amateur forthe rain picked up a bit, and we soon hapager, if I could tag along. The day came, and it was cloudy, cool and pened upon some wild muscadines, which were just as candy-like as the persimmons misty. As I drove out towards Oglethorpe before them. We wandered the woods County, I realized I wasn’t sure what to expect. I met Maumus, Josh Skinner, Jason for nearly an hour, exploring Jones and Brandis’ bountiful, beautiful property. Jones and Scott Brandis at Bartram Trails Foraging presents several challenges for Farm, which Jones and Brandis own. They chefs and cooks looking to use wild edible met me on the road and immediately began ingredients. Besides identification and pointing out what to my untrained, undisexperimentation, foraging takes time, as we cerning eye looked mostly like weeds. I did experienced firsthand that day.

It’s an olderthan-old way for humans to obtain precious sustenance. At some point, foraging got a more stigmatized rep. In many places, foraging was and still is considered almost shameful— something that only poor people who can’t afford to shop at a market do. More recently, with the rise in popularity of hyper-local, seasonal eating, and perhaps most notably with the rise of Copenhagen, Denmark’s Noma, which has been called the world’s best restaurant, foraging has become as trendy as avocado toast or kale salad.

Her history of instability (how do you think TRUTH (R) James Vanderbilt, the screenshe earned the nickname “Calamity?”) writer of Zodiac and The Amazing Spiderreturns with her addictions (smoking and Man, makes his directorial debut with an drinking) as soon as she steps back onto the excellent recounting of the news story campaign trail. Bullock can naturally balthat brought down Dan Rather. In 2004, Rather (Robert Redford) and producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) reported the damning account of President George W. Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard. In the middle of Bush’s rocky re-election campaign, Rather and Mapes exposed the unsavory means Bush may have used to avoid Vietnam, which may have included going AWOL during his service. But the subsequent fallout due to allegedly faked military reports eventually took down the stalwart newsman and his producing pal. Vanderbilt crafts a They have a drink called what?! recount of these events that ance humor and seriousness, but the movie is more entertaining than the real thing. is too much Jane and not enough politics. Redford opts not to ape Rather’s familiar If the sporadically entertaining Our Brand mannerisms and winds up alternating is Crisis encourages more viewers like me to between being more Rather and more seek out Boynton’s documentary, which I Redford; he ends up finishing more consistently Redford. Blanchett pushes Mapes into Shakespearean CYA territory as the partisan hammer of corporate ownership waits to fall. The film makes some late grandstanding like an unfunny, tragic Network but, early on, captures the exhilaration of reporters getting a story. Amidst a stellar cast that also includes Elisabeth Moss, Topher Grace, Bruce Greenwood and Stacy Keach, Dennis Quaid is an unsurprising scene stealer as a former Marine turned journalist. Truth might only tell one side, but it should fascinate both those who followed the story in real time and anyone who has never heard of “Rathergate.” OUR BRAND IS CRISIS (R) David Gordon Green based his latest film, a political comedy written by Peter Straughan (an Oscar nominee for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), on Rachel Boynton’s 2005 documentary of the same name about Greenberg Carville Shrum’s machinations in the 2002 Bolivian presidential election. In the fictional Bolivia, political strategist “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock) takes on her archrival, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton, who bears more than a passing resemblance to James Carville’s skull-like visage), while trying to get her presidential candidate, Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida), re-elected. After wasting away in sophomoric pot humor post-Pineapple Express (Your Highness was terrible; The Sitter a bit better), the once-acclaimed DGG returns to more adult fare with minor success. Though not meant to be a laugh riot, Our Brand is Crisis never really catches any comic fire, though it has a slight satiric burn. The sometimes sharpened political points can be dulled by the narrative focus on Jane.

can only assume stays on message better, it will have made a difference. BURNT (R) Burnt is 2015’s most delicious movie. The montages of gourmet dishes being prepped, plated and served will have audiences salivating. The melodramatic entrée they accompany tastes stale, like it’s been under a warming lamp for a few years. Bradley Cooper is charming as Adam Jones, a hotshot chef who blew it all on drugs, booze and women. After shucking one million oysters as penance, Jones has reappeared in London to get his third Michelin star. But he’ll need the help of friends he betrayed, like maître d’ Tony (Daniel Brühl), Truth and chefs he abuses, like single mom Helene (Sienna Miller), to reach his goal. TV producer John Wells again proves he has an eye for pretty pictures but needs some help from his screenwriting collaborators. Steven Knight is an Oscar nominee with intriguing films like Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises on his resume. Like Jones, Burnt works best in the arrogant, white-walled kitchens of high class dining; neither his initial failures nor his addictive foibles are terribly interesting. The cinematic dish could also have used a dash more Matthew Rhys (FX’s excellent “The Americans”) as Jones’ rival, Reece. Burnt is a wellappointed plate of high-quality ingredients that tastes rather bland. f

Lamar Dodd School of Art · 8:30 p.m. · FREE! Following the opening celebration for this year’s Spotlight on the Arts festival (see p. 12), Slingshot co-presents an avantgarde performance from New York City musicians Sam Hillmer and Patrick Higgins, the duo at the core of groundbreaking experimental outfit Zs. The group’s most recent full-length album, Xe, out via boundarypushing indie imprint Northern Spy, is dense and challenging, a churning, resolutely rhythmic LP. Also on the bill are area sound artists and cellists Alec Livaditis and Chelsea Dunn. Get a jump start on the Zs experience: At 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Hillmer will deliver an artist talk in lecture hall S150. [Gabe Vodicka]

The Foundry · 8 p.m. · $23 (adv.), $28 (door) In many ways the singer-songwriter’s singer-songwriter, the nearly 70-year-old troubadour Loudon Wainwright III continues to pump out first-rate acoustic music a decade and a half into the EDM-soaked aughts. He’s found his way back to the Classic City for another stop at The Foundry on Thursday evening; this time, the show is in support of his ultra-solid Haven’t Got the Blues (Yet) LP, released last year via Proper Records. Wainwright’s funny, forthright approach to his songwriting continues to inspire younger generations of folky followers, including but certainly not limited to his three well-known musical children, Rufus, Martha and Lucy. [GV]

Flicker Theatre & Bar · 10 p.m. All but abandoning the primitive setup of his previous project—the hard-touring, lyrically confessional Casiotone for the Painfully Alone—for a more fleshed-out, exploratory sound, Chicago-area singer-songwriter Owen Ashworth’s Advance Base is currently touring in support of this summer’s Nephew in the Wild LP. The music on the record is somewhat fuller, with live drums and guitars in the mix alongside Ashworth’s signature lo-fi electro-folk vibes, but the singer’s timorous, vaguely wounded baritone hasn’t changed all that much; fans of his former work or, say, early Pedro the Lion tunes will find much with which to connect. Pop Weirdos and Nathan K. share the bill. [GV]

Broad 9A · 5–9 p.m. · FREE! During the five-month Ink and Earth Project, illustrator and tattoo artist David Hale and his family dedicated one week each month to camping and getting off the grid. Hale created 10 tattoos and one large-scale drawing at each destination: four Southeastern parks and Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The final body of work will be presented at this pop-up gallery show, consisting of original illustrations mounted to panel and limited edition screen prints depicting a deep reverence for the natural world. Claire Campbell of Hope for Agoldensummer will provide live music, and a percentage of event proceeds will benefit Nuçi’s Space and Conscious Alliance. [Jessica Smith]

Stan Mullins Art Studio · 6–9 p.m. · $20–35 Demonstrating the local fashion scene’s collaborative spirit, My Athens presents its second runway show of the year. Agora Vintage, Atomic, Cheeky Peach, Community, Dynamite, Encore, Flirt and Red Dress Boutique were each paired with a local stylist to bring signature looks off of the big screen and onto the runway. Iconic films like The Breakfast Club, Almost Famous, Empire Records and Valley of the Dolls serve as the inspiration for each model’s attire. The show will be followed by a dance party led by DJ Immuzikation, and admission includes a cocktail from The National or Creature Comforts beer. A portion of proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity. [JS]
