While the Boro has a great scene in funk, blues, soul and rock music, there’s a definite gap when it comes to the reggae genre. Luckily, Valdosta-born band Yamadeo is coming up this weekend to fill that gap, playing their first set in Statesboro in about two years. Yamadeo is a 4-piece reggaerock band, currently based out of Tallahassee, Florida. The musicians started as students at Valdosta State University, where they kept themselves busy performing. “We played everywhere in Valdosta, every weekend, every month,” said Ben Goldman, the band’s guitar player. “And it was like, even getting to Tallahassee or Statesboro seemed very far-fetched.” After the band’s members graduated from VSU in 2009, they were so “nestled in [their] ways” of playing in college towns they decided to take their talents to a bigger location. They chose Tallahassee, which has several colleges and universities, including Florida State University. Now, Goldman said, what started as a weekend job has turned into an 80-hour-a-week career. Travel, practice, booking and performances keep the band running. When Yamadeo spoke to Connect on Aug. 27, they had just hit 15 cities in 30 days of their summer tour in Georgia.
Their recent ability to book in Georgia comes something of a surprise to the band, who are used to music venues hanging up on them when they tell them about their music. “The music we play — the reggae rock — for some reason that’s a whole lot easier for us to book in Florida,” Goldman said. However, the band is able to say they have played with some larger and better-known bands, including fusion rock-and-soul group Slightly Stoopid. Those big-name connections have helped to open other doors for Yamadeo. As a band, the members of Yamadeo are as laid back as their music, which draws from several genres to create an alluring, hypnotic reggae sound. The musicians are dedicated to spreading a feel-good vibe with their music. “We don’t really put cuss words in our songs or anything like that,” Goldman said. “We don’t want to be that kind of band. We just want to be — not so laid-back, but more upbeat reggae, you know? Upbeat music. Party music.” That upbeat reggae doesn’t come from cheesy lyrics or an over-the-top kumbaya attitude; it comes from steady, down-toearth beats, a crooning saxophone and a distinctly beachy feel. Their musical influences come from across the board; a careful listener might be able to pick out touches of funk, Motown, metal, rock and rap. “We like to throw it all in our music,” Goldman said, “but we have that common vibe at the end— it’s going to be a reggae rock song. The lyrics might be rap, it might have a funky beat in there, but it’s going to be reggae rock.” Yamadeo will be taking the stage at GATA’s SPECIAL TO CONNECT on Friday night, The four members of Yamadeo, from left: Ben Goldman, brother Aug. 12, at 9:30 Brannen Goldman, Bobby Boyd and "TK" Kenneth Edmondson. p.m.w

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — It appears as if anything might be possible in Utopia. Whether the masterminds behind the new Fox unscripted societybuilding series are ensuring participants can legally hunt, readying for wildfires or accounting for a cast member's impending pregnancy, they've seemingly prepared for every possible situation at the rural compound where Utopia is being filmed. Except for one: What if nobody watches? That's not a scenario the creators of this human ant farm even want to consider. "Realistically, I don't know," conceded executive producer Conrad

We steamrolled SSU, but don't get cocky yet Wow. I have been going to Georgia Southern games at Paulson Stadium since I was a little kid sliding down the hills on cardboard and playing football under the scoreboard. Since then, I have experienced games from just about any possible vantage point over the years. But Saturday night was different. It was special. It was big-time. When I was young, my family primarily sat on the hills on the home side. As I got older, I made my way over to the student section. I worked with athletics my last year of undergrad and first year of grad school, so I was on the field, in the press box or on the roof of the press box for two seasons. After I graduated from Southern, my friends
and I bought season tickets on the home side. This season we have moved over to the club section under the second deck. That stadium feels like home to Alex Brown me. The atmosphere at Paulson Stadium on Saturday was nothing short of electric. A friend actually laughed at me because I was grinning ear to ear nonstop as I looked around, soaking in the new and improved home of the Eagles. The pregame ceremonies were first class. From the skydivers to the flag ceremony to the team entrance,

Georgia Tech linebacker Tyler Marcordes, left, and Georgia Tech safety Isaiah Johnson (1) hit Wofford quarterback Evan Jacks (3) during the second half of a football game Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014, in Atlanta. there was definitely a big-time feel to the gameday experience. And best of all, the place was packed to see the Eagles hang 83 points on Savannah State. As for the game itself … well, it went about as expected — maybe even a little better. The Eagles rolled up 695 yards of offense with 599 of those coming on the ground. Southern only passed the ball five times but scored two touchdowns and had 96 yards through the air. The Eagles ran just 58 total plays on offense, and 12 of those resulted in touchdowns. Tattler Game Ball: I’m going to give this week’s game ball to the fans. Eagle Nation, if you show up and bring it all season like you did on Saturday, Paulson Stadium is going to be a tough place for anybody to come in and beat the Eagles. I can’t wait to get App State in Our House in a couple of weeks. It will be rocking. As much fun as Saturday night was, it’s time to put it behind us because this coming Saturday is huge. Finally, we get the first-ever meeting between Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech. This much-anticipated matchup has been on Eagle fans’ wish lists for years. And now Southern gets a shot at the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech is 2-0, but hasn’t really blown away its lesser competition. The Jackets opened up with a 38-19 win over Wofford but only led the Terriers 24-19 in the fourth quarter, when Tech scored twice in the last 8:34 of the game
to pull away. Last week, the Yellow Jackets traveled to New Orleans to face Tulane and again, it was closer than Tech fans probably liked. It was a threepoint game at halftime, but the Yellow Jackets pulled away in the second half to win 38-21. I have really liked what I have seen so far from Georgia Southern. The Eagles should be 2-0. Georgia Southern has hopefully had a chance to correct some of those firstgame mistakes. The starters are coming off what was essentially a bye week as they got plenty of rest against Savannah State. However, I think Georgia Tech is a better team than N.C. State. I also think Paul Johnson knows he needs to win this game — and he needs to make sure Tech wins comfortably. I’m not necessarily saying Georgia Tech has held back in its first two games and has Georgia Southern circled on the schedule. But I am saying PJ knows this is a ballgame Tech cannot afford to lose. He will have his troops ready to go. Tattler Prediction: The early-week line on the game has Georgia Southern as a three-touchdown underdog. I would take the Eagles and the points in a heartbeat, but I think Tech wins a close one. Yellow Jackets 34, Eagles 27 I would love nothing more than to be wrong and see Southern beat Tech Saturday afternoon in Atlanta. GATA, Eagles!w

Meinhardt their feet. and his staff put out tubs full of “Grape Stomp Festivals are somegrape for people to stomp on, which thing wineries have done for ages,” was how people pressed grapes for said Ken Meinhardt II, whose family decades in the past. owns and operates the vineyard. “It’s “You’d think it would be more kind of just a celebration about the of a kid thing, but I tell you, the new harvest, the fruit coming. It’s a adults enjoy it more than the kids,”
Meinhardt said. “They have a glass or two of wine and they get to put their feet in the grapes, and they laugh and giggle and have a big time.” The festival is free and open to the public. If getting your feet dirty isn't your style, you can also enjoy the music, wander the grounds, relax on the patio or taste the food at the vineyard's restaurant. While the Grape Stomp is typically thought of as a family event, the college crowd should find plenty to appeal to their age demographic — bottles and bottles of it, in fact. “It’s not off-limits to anybody,” Meinhardt said. “There’s no dress code, there’s no social code—it’s not one type of person versus another … It’s just anybody. Anybody who drinks wine and enjoys it is welcome.” "It's just a good thing," Meinhardt added. "It’s a revenue producer. It promotes goodwill in the community. It’s just a good thing. It brings out people who have never been to your winery.” As a vineyard, Meinhardt has a unique story and a unique angle. The vineyard is family owned and operated, but rather than being a “family business” that stretches back for generations, the vineyard
is a fairly recent enterprise; it only just celebrated 10 years of business. Meinhardt, his father and mother had been making wine for years at home as a hobby. Meinhardt refers to it as a “hobby that kind of got out of control.” After meeting a couple who had opened their own winery, the Meinhardt family decided to follow suit and started the process of opening one of their own. A quick taste test of the the vineyard's product is enough to tell any connoisseur that the Meinhardts' variety offers something different. Rather than the grapes one might expect from Napa or Sonoma Valley in California, the Meinhardt Vineyard is a 100-percent muscadine operation. According to Meinhardt, the grapes have long been a staple particular to the South and to Southern wine production. Before Prohibition in the 1920s, all American wine was made from muscadine grapes, and Georgia was the number-one state in muscadine wine production, according to Meinhardt. In many ways, then, attending the Meinhardt Vineyard's Grape Stomp is paying homage to America's past. Good stories and good wine, guys. What more could you want?w

Interview with comic book visionary Scott McCloud Georgia Southern is hosting a talk with cartoonist, theorist and author Scott McCloud, whose book Understanding Comics has been acclaimed by many as a gamechanging text in comic-book criticism. In 2005, McCloud gave a TED Talk on what he saw as the future of comics, thanks to the opportunities arising with the
poularity and innovation of the Internet. He's been spending the past few years touring and lecturing all over the U.S. while working on a few projects of his own. Connect had the privilege of speaking with McCloud as he traveled up the California coast to his next speaking gig. With his wife, Ivy, at the wheel of the car, McCloud told Connect about his origins as a comic book artist and scholar, his theories regarding comics in the digital era and his upcoming graphic novel The Sculptor, due out in February. Connect: Let’s start really general. Can you tell me about you and how you got started in comics? Scott McCloud: Well, I was uninterested in comics when I was a little kid. I thought I was too old for them. Interestingly enough, I read “real books” and didn’t want anything to do with comics. But a friend of mine in junior high school named Kurt Busiek convinced me to give them a try — he was a comic book collector. He wore down my resistance and got me to try a few comics, and by the time I was 15 years old I’d decided I
wanted to make them for a living. That was pretty graphics special to connect much it. Scott McCloud, an American cartoonist and comic C: What comics were they? theorist, often depicts himself as a cartoon professor SM: There were a few sporting a tweed jacket. With this avatar, McCloud different comics that he inserted himself into his book "Understanding Comics" got me reading, but he to illustrate his points in true comic-book style, with started out with X-Men and Daredevil — which panels, speech bubbles and characters.

So yeah, I C: What was your first job? fell in love with superhero comics SM: My first job was with DC as a kid, but I branched out very Comics, the people who publish quickly.

All I did was sit around all day started getting into some of the old and dip my brush into Wite-Out and stuff from the early 20th century, help correct little places where lines and eventually graphic novels and went over borders or paste down the independent scene and just went new lettering, that sort of thing. from there.

And because into that job, I’d come up with a of that, it helped to demystify the pitch for a comic of my own. I’ve process, to make it seem more
Scott's big ideas In his earlier theories about comic innovation, McCloud argued for several technological advances that could be accomplished through the Internet. In some ways, those predictions have yet to be realized; in other ways, they've started to come true. Here are two of the big ones: THE INFINITE CANVAS While comics are traditionally read from left to right within the confines of a page, McCloud saw the possibility for long web pages through which a reader could scroll in a single, uninterrupted panel. He thought it would make for a smoother reading experience. Several people have experimented successfully with this idea, and you can view samples on McCloud's website, scottmccloud.com. INternet Currency Rather than pay the cost of retail, distribution, packaging and advertising when purchasing a single item, why couldn't consumers purchase material directly from artists online for a fraction of the cost? This was McCloud's idea behind "micropayments," in which a consumer could pay cents or dollars for a single installment of any given work. Obviously, the success of iTunes shows that this idea is one that people can get behind, even if it hasn't quite met the vision McCloud put forth in his earlier work.
INFO!
Scott McCloud had plenty more to say on comics as an art form, on technology's role in storytelling, about his favorite comic book artists and many other subjects — too many to fit in a print article. For the full interview, check out our talk on the Connect website, and be sure to stop by Georgia Southern for McCloud's lecture on Wednesday.w

Utopia, from page 7
Green said the producers cast Utopians with contrasting personalities in hopes that the ambitious show wouldn't simply result in a televised "hippy commune." The pioneers include a belly dancer, Southern pastor and a pregnant woman due in December. The series will feature a monthly elimination that will keep the cast changing throughout the life of Utopia. "My biggest fear is that it's boring," said Green. "The reason unscripted shows are heavily formatted is because that provides reliable, relentless moments of drama... We have to use the intimacy and purity of the observation we've established to make it interesting in and of itself." Utopia, which debuted Sunday before airing each Tuesday and Friday, marks an audacious gambit for Fox. The network has seen ratings for aging talent contests like American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance slide in recent years. Simon Andreae, the new head of alternative entertainment at the network, isn't afraid of taking a chance on The Truman Show-like series. "I think we live in a go-big-or-gohome world now, where if you don't take
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This photo released by Fox shows a scene from the new Fox reality TV series, "Utopia." The show premiered on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014, before continuing in its regular time period, Tuesday, Sept. 9, with six special broadcasts on Fridays beginning Sept. 12 on Fox. risks, if you go for safe shows, you don't get many big wins, as we've seen in the last year or so of unscripted TV," said Andreae. "That said, I don't think it's just any old big risk. It's a measured risk." Despite lofty aspirations, Utopia won't be boundless. The cast must abide by real-world laws, and they've agreed not to leave the compound unless there's an emergency or they want off the show. While fences sur-
round the Utopia camp, producers are planning for future visits from pioneers' friends and families, as well as appointments if they choose to do business with the outside world. The unique series marks not just a creative risk for Fox but also a financial gamble. The network reportedly spent $50 million to construct the Utopia site, which also features a small man-made lake stocked with 400 fish, a phony
water tower that actually holds a light used to illuminate the compound at night and access for the cast to electricity and plumbing. "It has been an expensive undertaking, but it's the reverse of most shows," noted Andreae. "Usually, shows become more expensive the more episodes and seasons are produced. This show was expensive to build out in the first place, but the longer it goes on, the less expensive it becomes." The cast, who receive a stipend for their participation, started out with minimal provisions hidden amid the Utopia playground, including a safe stuffed with $5,000 that can be used to order additional supplies or establish a business using the group's lone mobile phone. (It's not permitted for personal communication.) Utopia has already been home to plenty of drama, judging from the show's live streams, which went online last week and cost $4.99 for uninterrupted access: one cast member was removed before filming began for violating the show's confidentiality agreement; another was treated at a hospital for dehydration before returning; and several have threatened to leave over clashes involving food, alcohol and religion.w

Last year's show starred several members of hte Averitt STARS, and this year will see more STARS actors and actresses, but it will also feature several Georiga Southern students in the wedding party cast. Babb said that Shockwave Entertainment expanded the casting call to include students in an effort to go raise college interest in the event. The event is open to anyone who might be interested, even those who are not planning to tie the knot just yet. The dinner and show make for an entertaining date night, and there are door prizes available at the end of the night.

Nothing goes together like bridal gowns and bloody murder, am I right? Well, maybe that's not what a normal person would typically say, but for the folks at the Belle House, the combination makes for a gory, goofy, gloriously fun event. The event, which takes place on Sept. 18 from 6–9 p.m., will start off like many other bridal expos. Attendees can wander the venue and explore the many vendors offering their expertise for wedding days, including photographers, spas, videographers and florists. There will be live music, a dinner catered by Southern Delicacy and a wedding cake. And then (spoiler alert) someone in the venue will be inexplicably murdered, and the guests at the expo will have to rally together to track down the murderer and prove their own innocence. The Murder Mystery Dinner Show and Bridal Expo has been making its way through Statesboro at the end of every summer for several years now, but this is the first time the Belle House has hosted the event. "We just wanted to offer brides a new, exciting way to plan their weddings," said Christina Babb of Simply Sweet Cakery. She and Tray Anderson of the Statesboro store Fleurish were brought on board this year's expo by Jeff Wells of Shockwave Entertainment, who also coordinated last year's show, "A Wedding to Die For."
