Joe Knows Real Estate…

We would recommend Joe in a heartbeat. We chose Joe as our realtor on a recommendation from a friend. We used him to both sell our old home and purchase a new home. Joe and Stephanie became a big part of our lives for the last few months! Joe answered our calls, texts and questions in the mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. His assistant Stephanie was also always available, whatever we needed. When we were ready to put our house on the market, Joe gave us great advice on prepping and staging our home. He was reasonable and supportive with his suggestions and our house went under contract within 48 hours of listing. Joe was absolutely great with any negotiating that we had to do with our sale and our purchase. He is a tough negotiator and will work hard for what is in his client’s best interest.

We had to find a new home quickly and Joe and Stephanie went out of their way to schedule visits to any homes that we had any interest in very promptly and on any day of the week/ weekend or time that worked for us. We were also impressed with Joe’s overall knowledge of the homes and properties we looked at. He did not hesitate to express concern when noticing potential problems and offered great advice, while letting us make all of our own decisions and giving us his full support. We went with his recommendations for an inspector, and lender and we couldn’t have been happier. Great communication and guidance when we needed it most.

Amazing team!!

The Voice from The Cloakroom Voters Like Incumbents After All Bob Stephens: Our Congressman with a Bipartisan Sense of Humor Trump-Fueled Anger Didn’t Affect Down-Ballot Races

By Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com Angela Stanley, head of archives and special collections at the ACC Library, emailed to ask if I knew anyone who might want a bunch of surplus bound volumes of The Athens Observer. Of course I went right over and loaded them into my car.

Then I unloaded them. Then I carried them upstairs to my office, with a little help from my friends. Then I dusted them off and lined them up in order against a wall. I must say that the whole operation gave me great respect for the work librarians do.

Those things are heavy.

But they are also a treasure trove and fit nicely with the volumes I already had, making a run from 1974–1991. I have already discovered several pieces I had not been able to locate on microfilm.

Just glancing through issues of the old Observer, the weekly paper I was part of before Flagpole came along, is a reminder of just how long we’ve been writing about issues like neighborhood protection, the integrity of downtown, the growth of the university and safety on Prince Avenue.

Reading through the old issues is a reminder, too, of just how important an independent, locally owned newspaper is to a town like Athens.

Among the many delights I have encountered is a series written by former Congressman Robert G. Stephens Jr., beginning in 1986—30 years ago.

Bob had an A.B. and an M.A. in history from UGA and also a law degree.

He taught history at Georgia for a while, and he had a year of study abroad in Germany in the mid-1930s, where he observed life under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. Bob served in the Army during the war and afterward on the prosecutorial staff at the Nuremburg Trials.

Then he came back to Athens to practice law. He served in the Georgia legislature for several terms, then in 1960 was elected to represent Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, the same year Jack Kennedy was elected president. Bob served eight terms in Congress until he retired in 1976.

I had been bugging Bob to write something for the Observer, and he finally came in and announced that he would write some reminiscences under the title “Cloakroom,” which of course is the gathering place for congressmen when they are not actually

Bob gave us a very reasonable price, but he wanted it all up front, because he was taking care of a couple of elderly sisters as well as his own large family. I seem to remember that the total came to $500, a steal for what we got in return, but still difficult for us to come up with at that time.

Now, Bob was gregarious and a very witty man, which meant that he had a lot of good friends among his fellow congressmen and a lot of good stories.

“Cloakroom” was a great addition to The Observer, and it ran right on the front page as long as I was still at the paper. Each week, Bob regaled us with the behind-the-scenes doings of congressmen current and past, many of whom were familiar figures.

Given the tenor of our present Congress, it doesn’t seem possible that a member could write with affection, respect and humor about colleagues on both sides of the aisle. It also no longer seems possible that we could have a congressman with the governmental experience, education and respect for learning that Bob took to Washington.

Bob was descended from several illustrious Georgia families, and though his mind was quick, he spoke in a Southern drawl. Once, in a congressional committee hearing, he was questioning a colleague, Rep. Moorehead from Pennsylvania.

Bob repeatedly referred to Mr. “Mohead” this and Mr. “Mohead” that, until the chairman, Rep. Conti of New York, interrupted.

“Excuse me, Congressman,” Conti said to Bob, “don’t you know that the gentleman’s name has an “r” in it?”

“Co’se I know it has an ‘r’ in it, Mr. Chairman,” Bob responded. “If it didn’t, it would be “Moohead.”

The library is working toward having those old Observers in a searchable format online, so someday we may be able to enjoy Congressman Stephens’ wit and wisdom again. Meanwhile, his son, Judge Lawton Stephens, got a full inheritance of Bob’s humor, which he sometimes displays in civic fundraisers or other speeches. They’re always worth the price of admission—much mo’, actually. f

In the end, the political insurgency that supposedly would sweep incumbents out of office in last week’s primaries turned out not to be much of an insurgency. It seems that a majority of the state’s voters are OK with the people who are currently representing them in Congress or the General Assembly.

There was a slate of candidates, many of them tea party activists, who were fired up

by Donald Trump’s success as an outsider running for president and hoped to duplicate that at the local level by challenging incumbents in their own primaries. These outsiders were spitting mad at congressmen who voted for John Boehner as speaker, or legislators who voted for the motor fuel tax increase. That anger, however, never translated into any kind of political wave.

Three congressmen from North Georgia districts that are among the most conservative in the country faced down this primary opposition and will go back to Washington.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Cassville) got 60 percent of the vote against a field of four opponents. Rep. Doug Collins (R-Gainesville) also had four opponents, one of them a former congressman, and did slightly better than Loudermilk by attracting 61 percent support. Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ranger) outperformed them both by getting nearly 76 percent of the vote against two opponents.

It was a similar situation in the legislative races, where influential lawmakers who hadn’t had opposition in a long time had to get out there and actually knock on doors asking constituents for their votes. From House Speaker David Ralston on down, nearly all the incumbents who were party leaders or committee chairmen won their primaries by comfortable margins and can

look forward to reelection in November with little or no Democratic opposition.

For the second election in a row, Ralston fended off a challenge from high school wrestling coach Sam Snider by about the same two-to-one margin.

The majority leader in both chambers won their respective primaries by lopsided margins, including Senate Majority Leader Bill Cowsert (R-Athens), who won against Patricia Daugherty. And five Republican senators in North Georgia survived primary challenges with relative ease, including Sen. Frank Ginn (R-Danielsville).

Despite the embarrassment of a DUI arrest in the middle of his campaign, Rep. Tom Taylor (R-Dunwoody) piled up almost 73 percent of the vote to rout Tom Owens, a DeKalb County political activist.

Sen. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) may have had the most impressive result of all.

He was running against a wealthy investor, Aaron Barlow, who had the financial means to put at least $317,000 of his own money into the campaign. Beach is also a major supporter of MARTA expansion, an issue that has been deadly for Republican politicians in the northern suburbs.

Beach still wound up with 58 percent of the vote and now has an endorsement to go back to the capitol and keep pushing for more rail lines.

You have to go down to the county commission level to find a prominent incumbent who didn’t finish first. That would be Cobb County, where Commission Chairman Tim Lee was finally punished by the voters for funneling nearly $400 million in public funds to the Atlanta Braves for their new stadium. Lee finished a weak second in his primary race and may not survive the runoff. f

Breaking the Code

RoundSphere, a local startup that designs programs for Amazon Marketplace sellers, also hosts coding classes offered by the tech incubator Four Athens.

Four Athens Has Coding Classes for Everyone

By Kat Khoury news@flagpole.com

“Let’s

demystify what’s going on in your phone,” Jim Flannery says passionately. “Everybody should take a coding class. Even if they choose not to pursue it, let’s demystify.”

Flannery is the herder of cats, as he says, the traffic controller, or if you want to be technical, the executive director of Four Athens, a local organization which helps entrepreneurial startups in the area succeed.

Early last year Four Athens, with the guidance of Flannery, Jordan Burke and Antoinette Stevens, launched coding classes for anyone and everyone—at least, that’s the hope.

“In January 2015 we started to notice that a lot of our faster-growing companies were having trouble hiring, and it was across the board, senior and junior level, you name it,” Flannery says. The skills to fill those positions aren’t easy to come by, and Burke says that even computer science students at the University of Georgia weren’t getting the marketable skills they need, focusing a lot on theory but not so much on practical experience.

Consumers—not just professional coders—can use those skills as well. Flannery and Burke, the adult education director for Four Athens, both deeply believe that the future is technology, and that a basic level of technical literacy is already an important and necessary pursuit. “Teslas that are on the road today are already self-driving.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JUNE 1, 2016

This is not something that’s in the future; it’s happening now. Technology is eating us alive,” Flannery says. His goal is to convince everyone that they can learn to code, saying that the middle-class workforce of the future is going to be heavily computerscience based.

“The geniuses are still going to be the geniuses, and they’re still going to make the most money, and they’re going to be designing the systems, but you need people on sort of all levels of the chain doing work,” he says.

For Burke, he’s concerned with security, as well as social media—“where that information is coming from, why that information is being presented, when it is and why it is.”

They also have a little bit of a political agenda. Flannery wants Athens to be a forerunner in the field of technology.

“Let’s let Athens be ahead of the curve in something,” he says. “Too often I think that Athens is reactionary instead of visionary in its change. This is an area, I think, where we could lead.”

The skills themselves can be political, too. As Burke puts it, “having an understanding of technology is going to become vital to the democratic process.”

Classes are taught by professional coders. Much of the program’s focus right now is on training the teachers, and Burke says they are talking with the College of Education at UGA, getting feedback on structure and curriculum. The curriculum for kids as young as 7 was created mainly by

Burke and Stevens, then a UGA computer science student who moved away after graduating.

“One of our challenges is that the parents that understand it’s important will do pretty much anything to get their kids into these classes. The parents that don’t, we don’t yet know how to communicate with them that this is important,” Flannery says.

Eventually he wants to start outreach programs that go into communities and offer sessions to educate people on the importance of technological literacy.

But knowing that something is important isn’t always enough. Burke says the No. 1 thing people who think they can’t code say is “I’m not good at math.” That doesn’t matter, he says, “because that’s what computers are good at,” so it’s a fairly common misconception that only mathletes can code.

“I would love to do more learning by doing, having more startups and more established companies take risks on junior developers and giving them practical experience,” he says. “We’re not there yet, but it’s coming. Because that’s really the biggest thing—the more practical experience you can get at something, the more things stick and the more it’s going to make sense.”

While anyone can learn to code, the methods differ for different ages. While adults start at the beginning, the kids take coding on with a more thrown-into-thedeep-end approach. “With the adults, we definitely teach more high-level concepts like the theory behind why this code does what it does. With the kids it’s more, ‘Here

is how you would do this, now break it,’ essentially,” Burke explains. He says this is effective because kids have more of an exploratory nature, while the adults are there to learn a particular skill or gain a particular toolset so they can take their career to the next level.

This year the program has expanded from three or four schools to 11 or 12. Four Athens’ goal is to teach 400 kids how to code, with half of them being on scholarship. “We don’t want money to ever be an issue. We understand that the classes are expensive, but they kind of have to be,” Flannery says. The program has worked with the Girl Scouts of America as well as Chess & Community, a local outreach program for kids.

Another long-term plan is to have a computer lab and instruction space downtown so that kids without computers can have a dedicated place and tools to use. Flannery says schools will eventually have mandatory technology literacy classes—some high schools are already moving in that direction—and when that happens, the program will become less oriented towards training kids and focus more on adult education. He hopes to make a small dent in the half-million unfilled software jobs in the country—positions that can’t be filled by the mere 60,000 computer science graduates every year.

For those who do go through the coding classes, the success rate is high, and most are still living in Athens, feeding back into the city’s economy with their new skill sets.

Of the first class taught through the program, made up of four students, two have gone on to land developer positions or contract positions in town, and a third is running his own startup, according to Burke.

“Our biggest challenge is scheduling the classes so we have enough spaces and enough teachers,” Burke says. Right now, they teach in several locations aside from the schools they go to. UGA has lent them space in the Broad Street design studios.

They’ve taught in the Tree Fort, which is the Society of Entrepreneurs’ spot in the Bank of America building downtown, the Four

Athens Hancock Street office, the Quad in the Bottleworks and the RoundSphere solo labs at One Press Place.

Although school-based classes have wound down for the year, Four Athens is partnering with AthFest to teach classes during the festival, will put on two summer camps (not open to the public) at Athens Academy and will offer several adult classes throughout the summer where you can take classes on web fundamentals or intro classes for the coding languages Javascript or Ruby, among others.

The Future of Downtown Could Be Software Firms A May forum held in conjunction with National Small Business Week was the latest in an ongoing community discussion on the future of downtown Athens. The future just might be a serial entrepreneur who moved to Athens based on an online quiz.

The forum’s goal was to field ideas about what kinds of businesses should be downtown. Service-oriented and retail, of course, but tech companies that can provide competitive salaries with good benefits are crucial—companies like RoundSphere, a local tech firm and startup incubator that hosted the downtown forum, and Docebo, a multinational “Software as Service” (SaS) corporation.

RoundSphere owner Brandon Checketts and his wife, Kelly, moved to Athens in 2007 when, in their search for a reasonable cost of living and moderate climate, they took a quiz on the quirky-looking website findyourspot.com. The list of tech companies Checketts is connected to is impressive. One of them, Sellerlabs, markets Feedback Genius, a highly successful program in what has become a crowded market of software and services designed specifically for Amazon Marketplace sellers.

“Ours was the first software [for automated order confirmation emails] that pulled in carrier tracking numbers,” Checketts says. He grins widely. “The first time I got an email from our service, I was so pleased.”

Right now, the end of the academic year is a big time for BookScouter.com, another of the companies at RoundSphere. Enter a book’s ISBN at the website and get a list of how much each of more than 50 vendors will pay for the book. The company has grown to process more than 1 million book searches a day and has a staff of 10, headed up by Checketts’ brother, Dustin.

The newest company in the group is Snagshout.com, designed to help new products in the Amazon Marketplace garner feedback quickly by providing a platform for sellers to offer a deep discount in exchange for a review. The FAQ on the site makes it clear that the reviews do not have to be positive, but they do have to be honest. “We’re accelerating the process that would happen naturally,” Brandon Checketts says. “Sellers can’t pre-approve buyers. We have a ton of technology built around honesty on the site.”

Alessio Artuffo was at the RoundSphere forum—held in the company’s office space on the second floor of the News Building formerly occupied by the Banner-Herald’s newsroom—as well. He’s the head of the Athens office of Docebo, which sells and services a cloud-based proprietary learning platform software system to large corporations to enable them to provide consistent and trackable training to their employees, often in many different geographic locations.

Their customers include Bloomberg, Reuters, Pepperidge Farms and Sharp.

Though tech companies are often touted as one of the most desirable types of daytime businesses for any thriving downtown, Docebo and RoundSphere also present unique challenges for a city the size of Athens. They may only hire a handful of employees at first, but if successful, they can easily grow fast—faster than real estate agents accustomed to working with traditional businesses realize.

After growing out of several shared spaces downtown, Docebo is now in the old public defender’s office across from the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections on East Washington Street. They had hardly unpacked and moved in when Artuffo began planning yet another expansion.

“After much searching, when we found this place and renovated it, the Realtor said, ‘This should hold you for another three years or so,’” Artuffo says. That was when he realized that fast-growth startups like Docebo bring different challenges to the ecosystem of a downtown. “We grew to over 30 full-time employees and went from 90 to 980 customers in less than three years,” he says.

Artuffo explains that, while it is standard in Athens for landlords to require a long-term lease, that is almost impossible for a fast-growth company. If it’s successful, the company hopes to outgrow the space quickly, and if it’s not, it’s gone. He says he’s also been asked to provide a “personal liability contract” for a property owner, even though this multinational firm is legally a corporation.

But if these challenges can be met, Artuffo imagines a future lunch hour in downtown Athens when many of the employees of, say, 70 companies like Docebo and RoundSphere leave their creative space offices to explore downtown for quickservice food they can take to a green gathering space nearby. Later, after the traditional work day, many might choose to gather again downtown to socialize, in the process supporting more individual businesses and learning from each other.

Both Artuffo and Checketts say they have experienced the creative outgrowth that can happen when a community of smart people share their ideas. “Every time we have people here, we all get smarter,” Checketts says. [Shaye Gambrell]

Three-Night Stand-up

Three Words with Hannibal Buress

By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

S

ince Flagpole last spoke with 33-yearold actor and comedian Hannibal Buress in January 2015, he has had possibly the busiest year of his entire life.

Ahead of his three-night stand at the 40 Watt Club, we asked Buress to choose three separate words to describe how his career and his life have changed in the past 365 days.

1. “Nomadic.”

This is how Buress describes the state of his personal life for the past year. A national tour, a comedy album/Netflix special and a series of film and television roles dominated his schedule for nearly all of 2015.

Now that it’s a new year, and he’s embarked on a new chapter in his career, Buress still doesn’t have the time or the desire to be at home.

“I don’t really know how to feel comfortable in my apartment anymore,” he says. “I just got back from being gone for a couple of months, and last time I was here, I stayed for maybe a day and a half. I feel more comfortable in hotel rooms now. Mostly because they’re actually clean and don’t have clutter all over them, or baggage from my past relationships.”

Buress is about to embark on another tour that will last the rest of 2016. In preparation, he is doing a set of “warm-up” shows that will mostly consist of him doing threenight stands in some of his favorite clubs and locations around the country. Athens, one of his first stops on tour, is a place Buress has gained a lot of love for over the last few years.

“First off, I’m a fan of the 40 Watt,” he says. “I’ve been there a lot recently. [It’s] kind of a legendary place. It seemed like a good place to kind of help get the show together, get into the flow of things.”

As for why all the three-night stands, Buress says, “I enjoy not having to travel every day. When I get into the groove of the tour, I’ll probably be doing a different city every night. So it’s nice to kind of camp out somewhere for a few days early on. I can

chill out and relax. I’ll see the city, enjoy the food, enjoy the nightlife.”

2. “Growing.”

This is how Buress describes how his stand-up career has changed for the better since his last appearance in Athens. In late 2014, Buress gained national attention after one of his routines reminded the public of the largely buried rape allegations against Bill Cosby—which led to one of the biggest news stories of the decade. Since then, Buress has been routinely hounded by reporters asking him inane Cosby questions, and many have attributed his recent success to that initial routine.

While it’s undeniable that those news stories led to a somewhat increased profile, Buress was already well on his way to being one of the most popular comedians in the country, and his stand-up work in 2015 shows that he has more than enough charisma for his name to stand completely on its own.

“I’ve had a solid fan base for a while,” says Buress. “But it’s definitely been growing for the past year. People are still discovering my work, mostly thanks to Netflix.

We’ve got all my new stuff, like the Comedy Camisado special and my documentary, Hannibal Takes Edinburgh, on there, but we’ve worked out a deal to get all my old specials on there now, too. So casual fans have the ability to look up my name or something else I’ve been in and find my entire body of stand-up work. It’s a valuable thing to have people stumble across your material like that.”

Buress is one of Netflix’s biggest names in its ever-growing comedy pool of original series, movies and specials. For Buress, signing a deal with the streaming service was a no-brainer.

“When you’re putting out different projects, you get offers from a lot of different networks,” he says. “Netflix was one we were interested in right away, and we kind of approached each other at the same time.

We had offers to put my content elsewhere,

but Netflix seemed like a good spot because it’s worldwide and people can access it on pretty much anything, anywhere.”

3. “Surprising.”

With a laugh, this is how Buress describes his thoughts on his increasingly prolific career as a film and television actor.

“I enjoy it. It’s never been my main focus, and it’s not something I really push for a lot in my career, but I have a lot of fun doing it,” he says. “It’s wild to just… be in movies. To go from stand-up to being in a lot of movies, like five or six this year alone—it’s cool. I’ve been able to learn a lot from people and to work with people I admire and whose movies I’ve watched and loved. It’s pretty fucking crazy.”

In particular, Buress beams with excitement about May 20, when he appeared in three big summer movies released all at once: Angry Birds, The Nice Guys and Neighbors 2. In addition to the animated Angry Birds, Buress will appear in the upcoming The Secret Life of Pets.

“It’s kind of crazy working on animated movies, because you’re so disconnected from the creative process,” he says. “You say your lines, but the animation and the story, you’re not really a part of it. So you go record your lines and do it, then you kind of forget about it after a while. I think

my first meeting for Angry Birds was in late 2013, and my first session for Secret Life of Pets was early 2014? There was another project, I don’t think I can say the name, it was supposed to be a huge animated movie, and they just ended up scrapping the whole thing. It’s a long, complicated process. I’m just glad that as of today I haven’t died yet and I’ll finally be able to go see these movies with my nieces and nephews.”

As for Buress’ future, though he has a few notable film appearances coming up— including a minor role in the new Baywatch movie that he says he specifically took to work with the film’s star and his childhood hero, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson—he’s mostly focused on furthering his stand-up career by touring consistently.

“Stand-up is the only thing I can guarantee for my future,” he says. “But even looking back just a few years ago, I would have never predicted I’d be doing all the stuff I’m doing with my life and career right now, so who knows. Whatever happens, I’m just gonna try to have fun in everything I do.” f

Pushing the Press Printmaking Exhibitions at the Lyndon House

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Bringing in the summer season with an inspiring place to cool off, the Lyndon House Arts Center has been gracefully sweeping through various transitions lately.

Most notably, the center’s co-founder, Nancy Lukasiewicz, recently retired after 40 years of service, and Beth Sale, who previously worked as the director of art galleries for the University of North Georgia, has been hired as the new exhibitions curator.

Outdoors, the majestic heritage willow oak tree, which has witnessed much of Athens’ history, was removed after reaching the end of its life cycle and now lives on through Oneta Woodworks. Meanwhile, the WareLyndon Formal Garden has been officially completed, and features four statues representing the muses as well as perennials and herbs reflecting local heritage. Of course, the Lyndon House also has a handful of new exhibitions, this time thematically centering around printmakers of Georgia.

Pushing the Press: Highlighting contemporary art in Georgia, “Pushing the Press: Printmaking in the South” focuses on nine artists with distinct styles. Curated by Lyndon House program supervisor Didi Dunphy, the exhibition was organized in partnership with the Georgia Museum of Art, which assisted in logistics and lent several works. Its focus on printmaking is particularly complementary to the museum’s “Paper in Profile: Mixografia and Taller de Gráfica Mexicana,” an expansive survey of three-dimensional prints by 60 contemporary artists, which opens this Saturday.

Balancing techniques learned through still life and scientific illustration with influences drawn from art history and mass media, Curtis Bartone explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Inhabited with coexisting creatures like a bat, snake, great horned owl, ferret,

Siamese cat and cows, his large-scale etchings investigate how the idea of wilderness has morphed from a pristine place to a mythologized world.

The intricate etchings of Joe Tsambiras blend influences of surrealism and symbolism into bizarre narratives inspired by fairy tales, science fiction and fantasy. In “Fairy,” a girl lifelessly hunches over as mushrooms sprout from her back. In “Dream/Window,” a sleeping girl reclines out of a frame, allowing her Rapunzel-like hair to extend downwards through the floor, disappearing into the silhouette of a curled body.

Born in Daegu, South Korea, and currently based in Atlanta, Jiha Moon juxtaposes Eastern and Western imagery into her artwork to explore themes of “foreignness” and cultural pluralism. Her works often begin by employing the flowing brushstrokes of traditional Asian landscape painting, but then are imaginatively layered Chadwick Tolley with everything from embroidery, emoticons and pop culture references. One such piece, printed on the shape of a Chinese take-out box combines a Lucky Cat and cranes with peaches and “Bless this House” hearts.

Melissa Harshman contributes chandelier-inspired works that include both real and printed crystals, while Kristen Casaletto prints etchings directly onto a clothing iron and canned ham. “Pushing the Press” also includes colorful screen prints influenced by graffiti and pop culture by Chadwick Tolley, monoprints repurposing

leftovers by Jon Swindler, a pair of prints with undertones of deterioration by Tom Nakashima and 3D-printed nylon shapes in Plexiglas cubes by Ann Stewart.

Multiple: Entering the main floor of the Lyndon House, you’ll find the works of Arron Foster, Ry McCullough and Katherine Miller, three current or former graduate printmaking students at UGA’s Lamar Dodd School of Art. “Multiple” presents contemporary works that apply digital influences to traditional techniques. Foster contributes a series of shapes on gridded paper alongside a video loop, while McCullough offers a trio of images that transition from full-color to shades of gray.

Athens Neighborhood: Offering a hyperlocal focus on printmaking in Georgia, “Athens Neighborhood” is a series of screen prints designed by Prince Avenue studio Double Dutch Press. The selected districts include Boulevard, Cobbham,

Chicopee-Dudley, Eastside, Five Points, Forest Heights, Newtown, Normaltown and Pulaski Heights. Each print aims to visually represent the charm of its hood; Forest Heights has a herd of deer peeking out from behind a metallic dusted forest, while Cobbham’s print is covered in yellow roses, orange sunflowers and purple wisteria to honor the location of America’s first garden club, established in 1891. The exhibition also includes a peach-filled silhouette of the state and a landscape of the Classic City’s most infamous invasive species, kudzu.

There Again: Created between printmaker Jon Swindler and sculptor Michael McFalls, “There Again” combines pieces of previous collaborations with new elements into a large, site-specific installation. In the past, the two artists collaborated on “From Here to There,” an experimental work made while McFalls was completing a Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Gothenburg.

Blurring the lines between disciplines, UGA printmaking professor Swindler’s collages of textural, irregular shapes became the backdrop to McFall’s installation of trees.

Reflections on Yuma Trail: Dedicated to quarterly solo exhibitions by emerging artists, the Lounge Gallery is currently showing “Reflections on Yuma Trail,” a photography series by Deepanjan Mukhopadhyay, a graduate student at Lamar Dodd who is originally from Kolkata, India. The black-and-white images document the artist’s grand-aunt and grand-uncle as they prepare to move to a new residence after spending four decades in their home in Georgetown, KY. Each portrait is framed in a way such that the eyes are drawn to the faces hanging in frames on the walls and the material possessions that make a house feel like a home. The series is overall visually stunning in the way the couple is often captured indirectly through reflections in mirrors, alluding to all of the memories that will linger long after relocating.

An opening reception to welcome the new exhibitions will be held on Thursday, June 2 from 6–9 p.m., and “Reflections on Yuma Trail” will have its own closing reception coinciding with Third Thursday on Aug. 18 from 6–8 p.m. With the exception of Mukhopadhyay’s show, which remains on view through Saturday, Aug. 18, the last day to view the exhibitions will be Saturday, Aug. 6. f

Sunny Sounds Jianna Justice’s Summer Mixtape

6. The Beach Boys: “Cool, Cool Water�

“Palm trees and pools/ The water’s blue, swallow the pill/ Keepin’ it surreal.� Channel Orange is one of the few albums I always keep in my car (CD No. 6, I believe!). “Sweet Life� is a lighter track that is perfect for car rides. I have so many memories of my best friend Emily singing this track at the top of her lungs while we drove to grab late-night McFlurries.

What is a summer playlist without the Beach Boys? The drummer in my band, Jonny Williams, introduced me to this lesser-known track off of Sunflower. It is pool days, it is cool nights, it is everything you want from a Beach Boys track and more.

3. Beat Happening: “Indian Summer�

Erykah Badu is a badass, and everything she touches turns to gold. This track is no exception. It’s the perfect soundtrack to a vibrant summer night, going out with your closest friends and coming back way too late. I’d recommend listening to the entirety of Worldwide Underground.

Calvin Johnson’s lazy vocals over a pounding kick drum embody a certain longing and nostalgia embedded in sum-

Ben Searles

you’re seeking a soundtrack for summer 2016’s front-porch throwdowns and late-night pool runs, look no further than Jianna Justice. The 20-year-old Athens singer-songwriter crafts earnest, impossibly charming music permanently situated in those few fleeting moments between youth and adulthood, complete with all the joy and chaos that transition entails. Justice became a fast Flagpole favorite with 2015’s stylishly lo-fi Party Songs and Penny Lame EPs; the recently released “Twenty,� an emotional gut-punch of a song that introduces a shinier, full-band version of her wistful folk-pop, suggests even better things to come.

In honor of the season’s change, and ahead of her show at Caledonia Wednesday, we invited Justice to curate a mixtape of her favorite warm-weather jams. “I don’t know if this playlist makes sense in any conventional way,� she says. “Instead, it taps into my personal summer memories: long drives with the windows down, nights spent on porches lit with street lights, walking back from Go Bar down an empty Prince Avenue, early mornings at Ideal Bagel, swimming in pools that you don’t belong to. It is at times quiet, yet very much alive.�

You can hear these tracks at flagpole.com. Settle in next to a body of water—a kiddie pool and a backyard will do—pop the top on a can of something and dig in. [Gabe Vodicka]

2. Frank Ocean: “Sweet Life�

1. Nana Grizol: “Tambourine-N-Thyme� “Summer in my town is nice/ My front porch is my paradise.� One of my first Athens-music memories is seeing Nana Grizol at Orange Twin in the light heat of a summer night with glimmering lights covering the stage. There was a certain reverence to it all, and they quickly became the single most influential artist to my personal writing. Love It Love It, their first full album, is summer in Athens, and I usually have this album on repeat during the months of June and July.

I stumbled upon this early of Montreal track a few years ago after seeing them play at a summer jazz fest in Montreal. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put my finger on what I adore about this track, but maybe the magic is in its simplicity. It exists outside of the bizarre world usually associated with of Montreal and instead feels poignant and sweet.

mer heat. It taps into the slowness of a July day and of a childhood slowly slipping away: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will never change/ No matter what they say.â&#x20AC;?

4. Frankie Cosmos: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Foolâ&#x20AC;?

Frankie Cosmos is bright and refreshed. Her new album, Next Thing, is a little bitter in a still redeeming way. The third track, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fool,â&#x20AC;? is about waiting on someone and feeling, well, foolish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light, relatable, yet still serious. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find yourself humming this for days after.

5. The Stranglers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golden Brownâ&#x20AC;?

This is one of those bizarre little songs I used to put on every mix CD for boys I liked in high school. The harpsichord is camp, and it has a shimmery â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s sunshine thing going on that reminds me of watching Harold and Maude at summer sleepovers.

NEW â&#x20AC;&#x2122;TUNE: The only Athens band that deftly blurs the already blurry lines between psychedelia, shoegaze and indie bliss, Fat Neptune, just released a new single named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fluff.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a follow-up to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-titled EP from last December. Bassist Michael Purvis handled engineering duties, and overall it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t veer too much from the blueprint the band already had in place. More specifically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a continuation of its tasty blend of soft vocals, impeccable sense of melody and fuzzy guitar hooks. It is, though, a little more directed and focused than the stuff on the EP, which should mean that when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a full album, everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be crystalline.

Even the faux-radio outro â&#x20AC;&#x153;All That You Wished It Could Beâ&#x20AC;? is kinda touching. They are, like most of the Cupcakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, simple guitar compositions. I dunno. Maybe I just had a soft moment that day, but I swear there are gems among the jokes. Check â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em out at thecupcakeconquistadors1.bandcamp.com.

WOBBLE WOBBLE: Athens-based Echobass Records has exactly two artists with a jaw-dropping 18 releases. Razzi King is straight up post-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s oldschool reggae with a healthy dose of dub, and the all-instrumental Cabbage Looper is electronic dancehall-styled loops, beats and grooves. The latest Cabbage Looper release, Mayday, is credited to â&#x20AC;&#x153;C-Loopâ&#x20AC;? and digs a lot deeper into the groove side of things with leaden-paced head trip innerspace meanderings. The tracks, named for the days of the week, keep this slow pace all the way from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moondayâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;? but pick up the rhythm on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thursday,â&#x20AC;? which stays steady through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday.â&#x20AC;? Then, on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soonday,â&#x20AC;? things crash headway into clanging guitars and an overall sense of weariness and dread. All of which is to say: Hey, Athens! Cabbage Looper just wrote an album describing your whole week!

Check this out at echobassrecords.bandcamp.com.

THIS IS YOUR SLICE OF LIFE: OK, 99 percent of the time this column is 99 percent local music, but this next bit is just too important to ignore. Athens will receive a very special visit from legendary bassist, guitarist, songwriter and author David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) very soon.

On Monday, June 13 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appear at Avid Bookshop from 6:30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7:30 p.m. in celebration of his book Who Killed Mister Moonlight?: Bauhaus, Black Magick and Benediction. This critically acclaimed tome came out in 2014, and I bet if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nice heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d autograph it for ya. This appearance is free of charge. The next night, J will play at ATHICA as part of his current â&#x20AC;&#x153;living roomâ&#x20AC;? tour. Due to the intimate setting and limited seating, no one will be admitted without an advance ticket. They are $25 and must be purchased from davidjofficial.bandcamp.com. No tickets will be sold at the door. Nada. None. Zilch! Also, a minimum of 25 tickets must be sold or this show will not happen. So get on it. I bought mine already. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the whole thing should wrap before 11 p.m. By a ticket, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be late. And thanks to Avid, ATHICA and everyone involved in making this happen. f

record review Brother Mary: Immolate! EP (Independent Release) As the electro-dreampop act Brother Mary, Ivano Milo expresses heavy realizations of love, addiction and mental illness through carefully crafted beats. Immolate! is a visceral, drowned-out experience. Milo creates a world for each song, utilizing different sets of instruments and sampled sounds.

Standout track â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kintsugiâ&#x20AC;? highlights Miloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technique and finesse, with soft fuzz breaking the song up into thematic sections that hinge on his every word. And there are reasons to listen to the lyrics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ashesâ&#x20AC;? cleverly teases religious imagery with lines such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a crucifix written on the walls with lipstick,â&#x20AC;? while communicating a much heavier message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss you.â&#x20AC;?

As a first release, Immolate! is fresh, all-consuming and relatable.

Intricate and slightly dark, the EP is a vulnerable and honest experiment in kintsugi, the Japanese art of repair and rebirth that involves mending broken things with gold. [Maria Lewczyk]

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $28–32 The debut full-length from the Claypool Lennon Delirium is a fun and frightening freak-out. Monolith of Phobos took shape last fall, when the unlikely duo started bouncing raw ideas back and forth after Sean Lennon’s band The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger toured with Les Claypool’s Primus. Monolith of Phobos covers much ground, from the proggy grooves of “Cricket and the Genie” and the bass-plucky “Mr. Wright” to the Beatles-esque “Oxycontin Girl.” This week’s Georgia Theatre show is part of the quartet’s lead-up to Bonnaroo and a West Coast stint later in the summer. Incidentally, Lennon isn’t the only Beatle’s son to perform in Athens this week; James McCartney plays The Foundry June 6. [T. Ballard Lesemann]

hey, bonitaâ&#x20AC;Ś

Hey, Jealousy Advice for Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Loose and Lovelorn

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Hey Bonita, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dating a girl for over six months now. We met on Tinder late last year, and after a couple weeks, we started being official.

I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic. One fly in the ointment, however, is that she frequently brings up people sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hooked up with in the past, and has no real hesitation in telling me (sometimes in detail) the things sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done with her exes and flings.

She is still friends with a handful of the people she would booty call, and nearly every time she mentions someone she knows, the follow-up is always that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hooked up with them a few times while knowing them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even met one of the guys a couple times (like running into someone in town or at an event), but obviously didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to say.

The last relationship I was in lasted six years, and I have always been one to take the long ride versus a series of one-night stands.

When she talks of her past in this regard, it triggers my competitive nature in a really bad way. It makes me feel pretty worthlessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or worse, jealousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I find myself thinking sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only granting me a turn with her, rather than allowing me to be her man. It just seems like she still has a foot out the door in case something goes wrong, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

18 & over / ID reqd. Tickets available online and at Georgia Theatre Box Office

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because men are taught to seek out and keep women perceived as virginal and therefore â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean,â&#x20AC;? even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why blondes are at the top of the female beauty standardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;paleness/lack of color conjures images of cleanliness in our minds.

Your garden-variety dude isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t into dating (or even being seen with) known, proud sluts. Honestly, I worry that you see your girlfriend as a barely reformed tramp.

I think you definitely have jealousy issues, not to mention some unaddressed learned misogyny. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you wanna beat up whores or anything, but that you have picked up the systemic misogynistic principles of modern culture during a lifetime of living in a world that hates women. These tendencies are as ingrained in us as racismâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for example, the sight of a black man on a dark street striking fear in the heart of a white person, even if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his neighborhood and not doing anything wrong.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that the white person hates black people, but that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a lifetime of media and shitty adults teaching him to judge and mistrust people of color, and it is his gut reaction to fear black males in certain environments. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you

making me feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not good enough, that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this stable of guys that she has kept in her pocket just in case.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to go along with these types of conversations by bringing up times with my exes too, but it makes me feel uncomfortable talking about my past sexual exploits to someone I am currently involved with; it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem polite to me somehow. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to handle this. Am I unnecessarily jealous?

Please help if you can, because all I can see are the ghosts of the people sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had before me, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really depressing.

Sincerely, Trouble in Paradise Hi Trouble, It bothers me that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle her talking about her past, because I can see that it cheapens her in your view. Why does it â&#x20AC;&#x153;depressâ&#x20AC;? you to know that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her first, second or even third boo?

mind the women youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dated having a past, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle hearing that your penis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever ridden. That makes them look bad to you, and you doubt their sincerity when they say they like you. Sluts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get dates, so why even try to date that obviously slutty girl?

You emailed me again to let me know that you asked her to chill with the ex talk, but I still wanna run your original letter.

This is a conversation Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to have with the men of this town, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so.

Guys, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some soul-searching and heart-opening to do. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta unlearn these judgments and start seeing these women for who they are, not just what they can be to you. Go on dates with sluts, OK? f Need advice?
