Outrageous Fortune Remember, I am the man who elected Paul Broun to the U.S. Congress. You trusted my endorsement, and Athens delivered a crucial 5,000 votes that made the difference in his first election as our congressman from Georgia’s 10th District. I was convinced that, though conservative, Broun was at least reasonable and, being an Athenian, preferable to the amiable tire dealer from Augusta, who had joked that the University of Georgia could be bombed as far as he was concerned, as long as Sanford Stadium was spared.

I’m slow but not stupid, and it finally dawned on me that Rep. Broun’s sole purpose in Washington is to seize the spotlight through outrageous outbursts to build his image as a radical conservative, one who will fight for the principles that Georgians hold dear, thereby not only insuring his re-election but paving the way for a run to higher office. Rep. Broun is not stupid, either, and he quickly caught on to the way the news works in Washington. Though only a freshman congressman from one district in one state, he didn’t mess around with local issues. He saw immediately that he could go straight to the top and missed no opportunity to call the president a Nazi, a Communist, a Socialist, etc.

At first, it was difficult for Rep. Broun to be heard amidst the cacophony competing for air time. And the more outrageous his statements, the more he was marginalized as a crackpot, even within his own party. But that was OK, because he was not there to govern but to get attention. Meanwhile, the tea party came along and provided a cohort in which he feels at home.

And, given the news media’s imperative at all times to appear fair and balanced, more and more they turn to Broun as a counterweight to the opinings of some liberal or moderate politician. As Washington has become more polarized, soundbites on both sides of every issue are in demand, especially from those who can be counted on to say something that will be repeated in news clips and parroted by comedians.

Obamacare, therefore, became the perfect issue for extreme statements and tactics, the very embodiment of everything predicted about Obama: it is socialism, it is communism, it is Nazism. It is the greatest peril our nation has ever faced, and if necessary, we must destroy our nation to save it.

Paul Broun has found his cause, for which he has been preparing all his life. He is a doctor, so he understands better than most people that making health care available to virtually all the American people will undermine our very way of life. He has never had the slightest interest in governing, because he didn’t need to earn his way in front of the cameras, merely talk his way. So now he has not the slightest compunction about being among those who are willing to wreck our national government, to bring it to shutdown and default in the service of his cause—to flog Obamacare (a kick-me target) and elevate himself.

So, the extreme national embarrassment of his Republican Party means nothing to Broun. He got some good clips out of his party’s debacle, and they can only help in his campaign to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. He comes back to Georgia a proven, uncompromising leader in self-promotion, which is what a Senate campaign is all about.

If Broun wins (when he wins?) he will be a force in Washington among those outsiders like Ted Cruz who have no interest in governing our nation but every intention of promoting themselves by championing reckless radicalism.

The people of Georgia will be poorly served, but they’ll be endlessly entertained.

Best known as a rapper, Valentine managed Not to be overly cynical (OK, I’m cynical about things like Bobby Saxon’s losing 2008 congressional campaign and is now this), but it’s worth noting that Denson also formally launched enrolled in the Masters of Public Administration program at the her re-election bid earlier this month. Although one thing has University of Georgia. nothing to do with the other, of course, with all the social Denson was inspired by, of all things, conversations with workers in this town—many of whom undoubtedly supported Occupy Athens, according to Valentine. “Who knew?” said one of their own, Gwen O’Looney, in 2010—getting them on occupier Chris Dowd, who was passing out leaflets that listed her side can’t hurt her campaign. accomplishments like calling attention to Denson’s “illegal meetings that nearly brought a Walmart to our downtown” and stopping her proposed curfew law that “would have restricted freedom of assembly and potentially the rights of the homeless,” as well as advertising a Nov. 15 “unity march.”

A recent volunteer fair at UGA drew 1,000 people, “which is amazing, it’s great, but there are some people who won’t go on campus, whether it’s [because of] parking or whatever else,” said Fenwick Broyard, executive director of Community Con­ nection. That organization’s Hands on Northeast Georgia program, a clearinghouse that matches up volunteers and nonprofits, is the entry point for people who answer the call to service.

The Classic City Rollergirls will move from Athens Arena to the Classic Center when their new season starts in January.

“We are excited to offer our fans the comforts of the Classic Center and all of the attractions of downtown on bout day,” Rollergirls skater and league president Stevie Hretz said.

Millworks: In saying that he will vote to approve plans to convert the abandoned Southern Mill into a complex of apartments and artists’ studios called Millworks, Commissioner George Maxwell expressed surprise that the majority of Boulevard residents are in favor of it.

“Usually, people in the Boulevard district don’t want this kind of thing, so if they’re in favor of it, it must turn out to be something good,” he said.

The vote is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 5 Flagpole Frat House: Commissioners also indicated at the agenda-setting meeting that they will approve a special use permit for Sigma Chi to take over the Sniff family-owned Foundry Street building that houses your favorite newspaper’s office.

The site, they said, is far better than one on North Milledge Avenue that drew opposition from Cobbhamites (Cobbhamians? Cobbhamese?) because it’s close to campus and not near a residential neighborhood. “This, to me, is the greatest thing that could possibly happen to the Milledge Avenue site, as well as this particular piece of property,” Commissioner Harry Sims said. (Thanks, Harry!)

“It has always been my preference that fraternities remain on campus, but really, this is the next best thing,” Commissioner Kelly Girtz said.

Not that they’re wrong—it’s objectively a much better place for a frat house than the middle of Cobbham—but isn’t it kind of symbolic? Affluent students taking over downtown from the townies, and a fraternity displacing the colorbearer of Athens in the process. Just sayin’.

See Athens Rising on p. 10 for more info. Oh, and before you ask, no, we don’t know where we’re moving yet.

Media Matters: The Athens Banner-Herald, where a number of key employees are leaving for the nth time, isn’t the only struggling local media outlet. AOL’s hyperlocal news division Patch laid off 300 editors nationwide, including all Patch sites in South Carolina, effective last week. Many of the remaining editors are pulling double duty, while some sites are completely unstaffed (leading to some hilarity, like a posted photo of a pumpkin carved into the shape of two people, um, trickor-treating, let’s call it, on the hood of a car). Locally, Patch Editor Rebecca McCarthy was spared, although she’s now in charge of the Oconee Patch site as well as Athens’.

start with, and folks got backed into a corner on that.â&#x20AC;?

Rather than push the nation into a default that could wreck the financial markets and cause another recession, the Georgia senators voted to raise the debt ceiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who thought the shutdown was a good idea now know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a very good idea.

In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dumb idea,â&#x20AC;? Isakson observed.

Isakson may be the one who suffers the most, politically, for the vote he took to end the shutdown. Republican primary voters could punish him severely if he runs for another term in 2016. (Chambliss isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t running again, so he had a free pass.)

The person who did the most to enhance his standing among tea party conservatives was Graves, who fought harder than anyone to force the shutdown. It was Graves and his friend, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who introduced companion bills in July to require the defunding of Obamacare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must seize the moment and permanently delay the entire law,â&#x20AC;? Graves said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congress can do this. We control the purse strings and can protect taxpayers from funding Obamacare.â&#x20AC;?

Graves kept pushing the argument that Republicans could actually kill Obamacare if they just shut down the government long enough and threatened to default. In the real world, it was obvious Gravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bill would go nowhere in a Senate with a Democratic majorityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and that is what happened. Senate Democrats refused to vote on any measures to repeal Obamacare. As the shutdown progressed and Republican poll numbers crashed, the GOP leadership gave up and made a deal.

There will be another deadline in midJanuary, when Congress will again have the choice of funding the government or shutting it down. Chambliss and Isakson may again have to be the adults in the room.

The great shutdown of 2013 finally ended last week with Congress voting to raise the debt ceiling and prevent the federal government from defaulting on its obligations to pay bills it had already incurred.

As the shutdown dragged on, we saw a fascinating role reversal in how the two major parties conducted themselves. Democrats held firm and refused to vote for any legislation that would only reopen the government if the president agreed to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act. Republicans demanded that Obamacare be killed as the price of avoiding default, but eventually they caved.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unusual. As weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in both Congress and the Georgia General Assembly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically the Republicans who maintain strict discipline and vote in unison on major issues. Democrats, a more diverse bunch, are usually harder to keep in line on important votes.

The fracturing of the Republican bloc in Congress was reflected in how the members of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delegation voted on the resolution to end the shutdown. In the Senate, where it passed by an 81-18 margin, Sens.

Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss were among the Republicans voting for passage. When the measure went to the House, it passed 285-144 with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? votes all cast by Republicans. Those voting against it included all of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House Republicans: Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey, Jack Kingston, Tom Graves, Doug Collins, Tom Price, Lynn Westmoreland, Rob Woodall and Austin Scott.

Chambliss and Isakson had to be the adults in a room full of angry, screaming toddlers.

Both of the senators oppose Obamacare, but they also recognized that President Obama would never yield to demands that the health insurance program be defunded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made it pretty plain that [Obamacare is] non-negotiable,â&#x20AC;? Chambliss said before the final votes were taken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, that was not a very good strategy to

Ort Explores Abandoned Georgia As

the leaves begin their annual turning and Halloween is just ahead, my thoughts turn to spookier-thanusual things. Ghost towns, for example.

Although what actually constitutes a bona-fide ghost town is an arbitrary question, my criteria could include loss of a post office, closing of most if not all stores, massive decline in population, absorption or abandonment. And there are others, such as submersion under a lake, but it takes scuba gear to get to those examples, and Scooby-Doo can only be of so much (“GULP!”) help.

Some towns were meant to be temporary. Witness my father’s unnamed lumber-camp birthplace out in western Marion County, FL, so grown back into the wild that try as we might, we couldn’t even find it in the 1960s with the assistance of a helpful deputy sheriff. “I reckon the place is gone, then,” he told us, although this isn’t technically a ghost town because it never was a town to begin with.

Two ghostly places in Clarke County that were once actual towns have utterly vanished. Princeton on South Lumpkin Street consists of plenty of occupied vintage housing, but Dixon’s Grocery is long closed, the Princeton Mill is no more, and the old school house was demolished to make way for the upscale Princeton Mill development. A 1938 Clarke County map shows a circular town named Princeton. Yup, it was amoeba-ed into Athens long ago; I think they disincorporated the city in the early 1940s.

White Hall is the other, although any journey down Whitehall Road will introduce you to a plethora of old mill houses on both sides of the river. Yes, this was also a separate city in 1938 and likewise has been glommed up gradually by Athens. The old Thomas Textile plants still stand (in whole

or in part); they were successors to White Milling Company, I believe it was. And the White family brick homestead, lavishly Victorian, still stands at the end of South Milledge Avenue, in use now by the University of Georgia’s Warnell School Of Forestry.

There was a third, similar place, but it was never a real town. Old maps show a dot labeled Sorace in southern Clarke County, on what used to be Old South Milledge Avenue. There are a few old mill houses there as well, adjacent to the 10 Loop. Right where the Loop crosses over Milledge, there was a

Two ghostly places in Clarke County were once actual towns and have utterly vanished. gigantic frame barn of a building that was once home to the F. S. Royster Guano Co. No joke! In those days, it was common to use bird dung as fertilizer, and guano came from such places as the Galapagos Islands off South America.

In 1966-67, I used to go sit up in the top of the old building, four creaking flights up. It was a “thinking” place for me; nobody seemed to mind. The building still had a good roof, and it was in no danger of collapse. At night, the lowest floor, open to the road, became a noted trysting place. But back to Sorace—where the name came from, I have never learned.

Nearby, at the intersection of East Campus Road and South Milledge Avenue, Allentown once was a separate community that was devoured by the southward march of Athens. A few of the houses remain.

Never a town, but a recognized place nonetheless, is the location on Newton Bridge Road where the Southern Railroad’s Commerce leg crosses. This is Brooks Crossing, GA, thank you, just like where the Seaboard rail track splits off from the old Gainesville Midland on Jefferson Road is known as Fowler Junction, GA. Ah, the railroad towns that came and went!

There’s another criterion for ghostly inclusion.

Take Georgia Highway 83 from Madison toward Monticello and you pass through metropolitan Shady Dale. After you’ve four-way-stopped, head on south on 83, squeeze under the trestle and come out on the other side facing not that railroad but another one, which tootles along beside you past a small cement block building and a smattering of houses. This is Machen. That little cinderblock building was the post office for years. Although Machen’s P.O. was only a mile from Shady Dale’s, it hung on into the late 1960s anyway. Machen’s name comes from the fact that it is halfway between Macon and Athens on the Central Of Georgia line. Pronounce it “MATchen,” please.

On U. S. 278 just inside Taliaferro County, heading eastward, one will note an old dead gas station and a handful of houses adjacent to a church. The old store that contained the post office was pulled down recently. The rest is what remains of Robinson, GA 30661. The post office functioned four hours a day until late 1972. Now wholly half the houses are vacant—a town asleep.

Not so in very un-ghostly Vanna, between Bowman and Royston and roughly three miles equidistant. Vanna had a little box of a post office until the 1970s but, unlike Robinson, had no rural route. Even with the route, though, an old-timer at the Athens Postal Sectional Center (back when it was off North

Chase Street on Miles Street) told me that Robinson would go days without enough mail to dispatch. “They might receive or send 10 or 12 pieces a week,” he mused. “Compared to Robinson, we nearly needed a boxcar to bring and take all the mail to teeny little ole Vanna! There really ought to be a community post office there.”

I am reminded of the smallest post office I’ve ever actually seen, in financial, not spatial, terms: Berry’s Lick, KY. “In its last year of operation, that old man’s revenue was something like $11.55,” Mr. Forgy, postmaster of nearby Quality, KY chuckled. “Congressman Natcher [William H. Natcher, D-Ky., a bipartisanly popular man, who served Kentucky’s Second Congressional District from 1953 until his death in 1994] was a big fan of small post offices; couldn’t hardly stand to see one closed. Well, when the poor old fellow at Berry’s Lick went to go to work one day, to open up the store with the post office in it, he found that the building had collapsed overnight. Come a good rain and it couldn’t take anymore, I guess. But every day after that he’d go out and raise the flag and take it down.

They finally officially declared that office to be closed. Bill couldn’t believe the place when he saw it: ‘Reckon that does it for him,’ he commented. ‘I’m sorry to see these little ones go. How will the old folks get their mail now?’ That man cares about his constituents.”

Right where the Loop crosses over Milledge, there was a gigantic frame barn of a building that was once home to the F. S. Royster Guano Co. Back to Georgia, like Princeton was swallowed up by Athens, Egan was chopped in half and eaten by East Point and College Park. There is a shopping center where the mill used to be, and several streets of old mill houses remain, mostly in College Park, houses that were part of what once was bustling Egan.

Campbellton is more fun, though. It served as the seat of Campbell County—which, along with Milton, was consolidated with Fulton in 1934—from its formation in the 1830s until 1874 or so, when the A&WP Railroad came through, and Fairburn built up along the track, quickly outdistancing Campbellton as the largest place around. A new courthouse was erected in Fairburn (it still stands), and the old one in Campbellton was torn down circa 1907 to provide bricks for chimneys of a couple of houses. A marker tells you what was there, and old Baptist and Methodist churches are still active, along with a Masonic lodge. They and a handful of older dwellings are all that remains of Campbellton.

On the newer road, though, a grocery sells gas and supplies and beer, and is doing its best to prevent Campbellton from being what might as well be described as a balloon with its skin off. They really should have a “SHOP DOWNTOWN CAMPBELLTON!” sign. Campbellton is on most maps, but you’ll have to do some looking for it. It’s a fun destination for a nice slow day. Hint: Try to go in from Cochran Road. It’s more fun that way.

Constitution Road in southeast Atlanta will indeed take you to what once was Constitution, GA. It possessed a circular city limit and was half in Fulton and half in DeKalb County. When Atlanta annexed the Thomasville area in 1952, it gulped up half of what was left of Constitution, which actually predated everything around it. It’s still pretty rural on the DeKalb side.

Pete will think I’m remiss if I don’t mention Scull Shoals.

This historic townsite in Greene County still has visible walls.

It had a bank, gin and stores, but the Oconee River flooded it twice, which caused its inhabitants to give up on the place, which was said to be cursed. More on this haven directly.

Oh, me… I’ve left out Dunlap, Smithonia, Clarksboro, Swords, Hayston, Enterprise, Oglesby, Ross, Eastville, Bairdstown and more that are just within easy sneezing distance of Athens. Not to mention places like the long-forgotten Magnolia, which was the county seat of Clinch County before the railroad came through and Homerville developed. Or poor Barnett, which was trounced first by the boll weevil, then World War I, then the Great Depression, then World War II. (That’s like putting Culver-Stockton College up against Alabama.) A big fire apparently burned up the central part of town, so that almost nothing was left by the early 1960s. The post office soldiered on for a while, but the town has slipped from a high of 650 residents around 1915 down to probably 50 now. Oh, and remind me to tell y’all about Mountain View, GA 30080.

More stories and more ghosties remain to be explored. I’ll read up some more and write another such column if you like.

Just don’t get lost in downtown Stoneham.

Prophetic Crackpot?

The Georgian Who Knew JFK Would be Killed by a Sniper I conclude that, in the early 1960s, an unknown number of powerful people came together and held private discussions. These discussions centered on the bitterness and hatred they felt toward President Kennedy, and on how to eliminate him… To do what they did took masterful planning and manipulation. The fact that they accomplished it without paying the consequences tells us that they were successful.

—Former FBI Agent Don Adams

F

The public did not find out about Milteer’s recorded conversation with Somersett until three years after the assassination, when Miami police gave a transcript of that conversation to Bill Barry, a local newspaper reporter. It is said that Miami police decided to release the transcript because they realized the striking similarities between what Milteer said would happen and the Warren Report version of what did happen.

On Feb. 2, 1967, Barry published an article in The Miami News which discussed Milteer (without revealing his name) and quoted from the transcript of that conversation.

ifty years ago, on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while seated in his open limousine as it motorcaded on Elm Street in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas.

Recently, important new evidence has come to light about Joseph Adams Milteer, the Georgian who, nearly two weeks before the assassination, was recorded on tape talking about a pending plot to shoot the president from a tall building with a rifle that had been taken apart to get it inside. The new evidence confirms long-standing concerns that J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI failed to adequately investigate the murder of President Kennedy. Since the FBI was the principal investigative arm of the Warren Commission, the evidence also is an endorsement of those who have criticized the Warren Report’s finding that there was no conspiracy, foreign or domestic, behind the assassination.

Who was Joseph Milteer?

Joseph Milteer (1902-1974), of Quitman, GA, was a racist right-wing extremist activist who hated President Kennedy insanely and spent his life combating the civil rights movement. On Nov. 9, 1963, 13 days before the Kennedy assassination, Milteer had a lengthy conversation in a Miami, FL apartment with a childhood friend, Willie Somersett, in the course of which Milteer told Somersett about a plot that was afoot to assassinate JFK. Unknown to Milteer, Somersett, a secret informant for local Miami police, was surreptitiously tape-recording the conversation.

In that conversation Milteer confided that the killing of Kennedy “was in the working;” that the president could be killed “[f]rom an office building with a high-powered rifle;” that the rifle could be “disassemble[d]” to get it into the building; and that “[t]hey will pick up somebody within hours afterward, if anything like that would happen, just to throw the public off.” (Excerpts from the transcript of the conversation are set forth below at the end of this article.)

Abortive FBI Investigation Miami police promptly notified the Secret Service and the FBI of Milteer’s remarks, giving them transcripts of the recorded conversation. The Secret Service and the FBI both quickly opened files on the matter, hastily investigated Milteer and within a few days—and prior to the assassination—closed those files.

Five full days after the JFK assassination, on Nov. 27, 1963, the FBI interviewed Milteer. The FBI’s official report of that interview is one and one-half pages long, consisting of six terse paragraphs, only one of which relates to the assassination. Shockingly, during the interview Milteer was not interrogated about his previously recorded statements regarding plans to murder the president. Milteer was not even asked the vital question of what he knew of or had heard about any plots against President Kennedy. Unlike many other witnesses, Milteer was not asked where he was on Nov. 22, 1963.

There is no mention of Joseph Milteer in the Warren Report or the 26 volumes of exhibits published by the Warren Commission, and for years both the Secret Service and the FBI kept secret as much as they could about Milteer.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 23, 2013

In 1971 the entire transcript was published in Harold Weisberg’s book Frame-Up, and, for the first time, Milteer’s name was publicly revealed. Soon assassination scholars were suggesting that Milteer could be seen in a photograph taken in Dealey Plaza shortly before the president was murdered.

Milteer, it was claimed, was the 60-ish, unsmiling man standing on the sidewalk with other spectators watching the presidential limousine as it drove past them a minute before the assassination. The spectator alleged to be Milteer is easy to spot: immediately to his right is a taller man wearing a dark hat, coat, and necktie.

Assassinations Committee Investigation In 1978, the U.S. House of Representatives Assassinations Committee conducted a limited investigation of Milteer and published a portion of the transcript of Milteer’s recorded conversation. As part of its investigation, the Assassinations Committee endeavored to determine whether Milteer had been photographed in Dealey Plaza. The Committee did not investigate the independent, more basic question of whether Milteer was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

Less than a minute before the shots rang out, AP photographer James Altgens took the first of three famous 35 mm still photographs. That first photograph was snapped from behind and to the left of the presidential limousine and the Secret Service escort car closely following it. The two vehicles can be seen passing along Houston Street just before turning onto Elm Street. In the background is an array of spectators lining the sidewalk. One of those spectators, an older, unsmiling bespectacled man who appears to have his arms folded across his chest is the individual alleged to be Milteer.

The Assassinations Committee appointed a panel of photographic and forensic experts who examined the Altgens photograph to determine if the spectator (who also appears in motion picture films taken at the time) was Milteer. The spectator, the panel explained, is “seen standing on the east side of Houston Street, just beyond the limousine. He is a white male appearing to be about 60 years of age.”

The panel admitted that the individual in the photograph “bears a strong resemblance to Joseph Adams Milteer,” that the individual resembled Milteer “in age and general facial configuration” and that the individual was wearing “eyeglasses similar in general style to those favored by Milteer.”

Nonetheless, the panel concluded, with one member dissenting, that the individual was not Milteer.

The panel’s conclusion rested on (1) differences in upper lip thickness and in head hair (the individual on Houston Street was “partially bald,” whereas Mitleer, the panel believed, “apparently had a full head of hair in [a] photograph taken several years after the assassination”); and (2) differences in height (the individual in the Houston Street photograph was estimated to be 5 feet 10 inches, whereas Milteer, was, according to a Dec. 1, 1963 FBI report cited by the panel, six inches shorter at 5 feet 4 inches.

The panel did not regard its conclusion—that the motorcade spectator was not Milteer—as final and conclusive. As the panel did not deny, its estimates of the height of the individual alleged to be Milteer and of the other spectators lining the sidewalk rested on the unproved and unprovable assumption that the visible signposts were fixed at the height required by regulations and that the height of the members of the crowd approximated the norms of the general population.

Also, the panel’s conclusion that the individual was not Milteer depended on the accuracy of its assumptions that in 1963 Milteer had a full head of hair and that his height was 5 feet 4 inches. As the panel phrased it: “In the absence of evidence that (1) Milteer had become extensively bald by 1963 or was wearing a hairpiece in the post-assassination photograph, or that (2) Milteer’s statural estimate of 64 inches was incorrect, the motorcade spectator could not have been Milteer.” In other words, the panel was acknowledging that, if it was wrong about Milteer’s head hair or his height, then the motorcade spectator could be Milteer.

Lingering Questions Answered For years the case of Joseph Milteer has posed difficult questions. Two of the more important ones are these. First, why was the FBI’s Nov. 27, 1963 interview so inadequate?

Particularly, why was he not queried about what he had said on tape to Somersett about the plot to kill JFK? Second, was the House Assassinations Committee panel right about Milteer not being the spectator in question in the Altgens photograph?

These issues have now been resolved due to newly available evidence. The new evidence is to be found in a recent book, From an Office Building With a High-Powered Rifle (TrineDay, 2012), whose author, Don Adams, a retired FBI agent (and career law enforcement officer), personally investigated, personally questioned, and was personally acquainted with Joseph Milteer back in 1963. It was Adams, then an FBI rookie special agent stationed in Thomasville, GA who interviewed Milteer and took his statement five days after the assassination.

The reason the interview with Milteer was so unsatisfactory, ones, are photographically reproduced in the Adams book. import. There must have been a plot, and Milteer must have Adams explains, is that he had been ordered by his superior, an We also learn from the Adams book that the individual in known about it.

athens rising Boulevard Is Getting a Park get rid of invasive species. Not only have volunteers done manual labor to get Boulevard Woods up and going, they have also created and maintained the website, boulevardwoods. org. Thanks to the efforts of those volunteers and Boulevard Neighborhood Association, the Boulevard Woods project received a $75,000 grant from the Riverview Foundation, a nonprofit based in Chattanooga, TN. The $75,000 grant will fund the construction of the park, but additional money will be needed to take down a few dying trees and cover the cost of a crosswalk. The county approved a crosswalk across Barber Street for pedestrian safety, but the Boulevard Neighborhood Association has to foot the bill for the crosswalk. Dan Lorentz, one of the organizers of the Boulevard Woods project, estimates that the project needs to raise several thousand more dollars in addition to the Riverview Foundation grant to complete the project.

It is rumored that the parcel was donated to the city in order to be used as a park for the Boulevard community, and though no tangible evidence has surfaced validating the Koons Environmental Design

In 2009 a group of Boulevard residents surveyed their neighbors to see if anyone was interested in a neighborhood park. It turns out they were, and so plans for Boulevard Woods began to take shape.

The Boulevard Neighborhood Association is now spearheading the project located at the east end of Boulevard where it meets Barber Street. The heavily wooded 1.8 acre location was donated to the City of Athens

by W.H. Benson in 1967 and is now owned by Athens-Clarke County. It is easily accessible to Boulevard and Newtown residents and, according to the Boulevard Woods website, has the “potential to be integrated into a future greenway network and/or rails-to-trails project.”

In 2010, with the help of the University of Georgia’s College of Environment and Design, several conceptual plans were created, voted on by Boulevard residents and adopted by Athens-Clarke County. Plans were refined further earlier this year. The conceptual plan was then turned into a master plan

by Koons Environmental Design, Inc. The master plan still has to be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission (perhaps at the November meeting), but so far Boulevard Woods is on its way to becoming a community park.

Since 2010, volunteers have been gathering several times a year to clear the site of debris and brush, trim vines, pull weeds and

rumor, like all good rumors, it persists. While the Boulevard Neighborhood Association is spearheading the project, the parcel of land is still owned by ACC. However, the BNA will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep in the future.

Athens certainly has its fair share of parks, but they tend to be located on the periphery of the city. While large parks are great for outdoor sports and large events, more intimate neighborhood parks provide refuge for people.

There’s Reese and Pope Park, grassy areas in Normaltown and off Bloomfield Street and, of course, quads on campus, to name a few, but Boulevard Woods is a pilot project that can show other neighborhoods how to establish a community park.

Athens has a rather high urban density.

Our historic neighborhoods boast fairly small

lots and are quite walkable. We also have more density moving into our downtown core, but let’s not forget that urban density needs to be balanced with urban greenspace. Boulevard Woods could very well serve as an excellent example of what can be done with some of the unused urban space around Athens.

Sigma Chi: The Historic Preservation Commission approved several changes to the building that presently houses Flagpole’s office and the apparent future home of the Sigma Chi fraternity. The courtyard between the historic F.M. Coker (Flagpole) and S&K bike shop buildings will be getting a facelift: a tripartite arched wall nearly a story tall will link the two buildings.

Though not an identical match to the original wall that linked the buildings, it will give the corner a more nearly seamless appearance. All front-facing doors will have awnings for weather protection (however, the windows will not) and the bike shop building will get a skylight. Since that smaller building will be used primarily as a dining hall, Atlanta architect Jim Wilson said he wants to bring in as much natural light as he can.

They’ve still details to work out with the plans, but Sigma Chi looks to be well on its way to owning its own house again. The Athens-Clarke County Commission still has to sign off, which it appears likely to do at its Nov. 5 meeting.

Behind him is a wall of books on a range of topics, from biographies of Carl Jung and Albert Einstein to works of some of his favorite novelists: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Proust. Although his highbrow interests may seem to make him an unlikely candidate for a talk show, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re acturally the key to the job.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different approach to TV. Flurry describes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unscripted with Alan Flurryâ&#x20AC;? as a way to share his conversations with experts visiting the University of Georgia in a format that gives them room to explain their ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not] this dramatized, fragmented, super-intense newsy thing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually informative,â&#x20AC;?

Flurry says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-form old media, and in a lot of ways [our culture is] past it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sarcastic. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not making fun of anything.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not breaking things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a reality show in that way.â&#x20AC;?

The idea for the show came together when Fred Newman, a UGA alumnus who performs the live sound effects for NPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prairie Home Companion,â&#x20AC;? was visiting the university for a week. Flurry was scheduled to interview him on behalf of Franklin College. When he went to Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech at the UGA chapel, he quickly saw that Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showmanship, sound effects and outsized personality would be lost in a print interview. So he hired a film crew, not knowing how he would use the video. That ended up being the pilot that got him his own show on WUGA TV, the UGAowned Georgia Public Broadcasting affiliate.

During the interview with Newman, Flurry discovered that visiting experts are anxious to talk about their fields to a broad audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I led him there, and I got out of the way,â&#x20AC;? he says.

This is the formula he continues to follow, but doing so requires a delicate balance of preparation and spontaneity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to get 50 percent prepared, so that I can be prepared and have some potential questions to ask

them, but it also allows for whateverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen to happen.â&#x20AC;?

Flurryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranging interests allow him to jump nimbly among differing fields. A few guests from past shows include Alan Garda, a legal expert on segregation in public schools; Barry Smith, a philosopher and neuroscientist; and poet and activist Anne Waldman. Since these guests are well known in their fields, they are also comfortable on camera. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a credit to Flurryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholarly dexterity that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to educate himself in the weeks leading up to the interviews to talk to people from such farflung fields.

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer, Melissa Jackson, says that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the typical interview approach that you see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not the usual commercialized, eight-second soundbites from a guest.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where you can really sit down and get an in-depth interview,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just about everyone weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve interviewed says [to Alan], â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really done your research.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And this is a welcome change for a lot of these guests. They find itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a luxury to really sit down and tell indepth what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

But just because the conversation is elevated doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean viewers should be intimidated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody can take part in an elevated discussion,â&#x20AC;? Flurry insists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be arcane or too technicalâ&#x20AC;Ś I mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadcast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by definition supposed to be broad.â&#x20AC;?

He says a big part of striking the balance between informative and accessible is picking the right first question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to pick some place that respects their expertise and is also conversational.â&#x20AC;?

So far, nine episodes have aired on WUGA-TV (Channel 6 on Charter and UGA cable) in the course of a year. There is no set schedule for the show, and they are aired whenever an episode is edited and completed.

They are frequently re-aired on WUGA-TV after their initial run. Past episodes are also available on Youtube.

Flurry says there are plenty more in the can that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been edited or aired. The upcoming episode will change the format slightly by including two 15-minute interviews in one episode, an experiment he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to trying again in the future. Whatever the final format, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to bringing some of UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best campus visitors into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not the usual commercialized, eight-second soundbites from a guest.â&#x20AC;?

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week.

• indicates new review k BAD GRANDPA (R) Johnny

Knoxville resurrects one of his Jackass characters, 86-year-old Irving Zisman, for a scatological, light-hearted, disgusting romp. Zisman and his eight-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll), travel across the country, calling strange women strippers and faking their way into a beauty pageant, where Billy’s talent is pole-dancing.

Bad Grandpa looks to have a very Sacha Baron Cohen comedic presence, making fun of everyday Americans. You already know whether or not this floats your boat. Knoxville’s constant Jackass collaborator, Jeff Tremaine, directs, and incredibly creative filmmaker Spike Jonze co-wrote the screenplay.

BAGGAGE CLAIM (PG-13) This romantic comedy about a stewardess, Montana (Paula “Mrs. Robin Thicke” Patton), conducting a transcontinental search for a spouse wastes a talented cast (Derek Luke, Taye Diggs and Ned Beatty) in a sub-Tyler Perry situation.

Many (not all) of Perry’s movies leave something to vaguely recommend, but David E. Talbert’s adaptation of his own novel does not. There’s little to nothing to see or like here. Don’t bother making this connection.

BLACK ROSES (R) 1988. Bad Movie Night returns to celebrate Halloween with the very worst that cinema has to offer with this heavy metal horror hack job. Apparently, the Baptist Church is right. Listening to metal leads to the devil. When the band Black Roses comes to the town of Mill Basin, all the kids go satanically cuckoo. Do you remember the hair metal bands Bango Tango and Lizzy Borden? I don’t either, but I love ‘80s metal enough to be unapologetically interested in this terrible piece of movie trash. (Ciné) CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (PG-13) Recounting the real life story of Captain Richard Phillips, who was kidnapped

by Somali pirates and held hostage in a claustrophobic lifeboat for several days, director Paul Greengrass crafts his best film since United 93. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Phillips, and he loses his typical Hanks-ness in the dramatized reality realized by Greengrass. The taut effectiveness of Billy Ray’s script certainly should not be undervalued, but it will be due to the incredible work done by Greengrass, whose greatest films seem like reality unfolding before our eyes.

• CARRIE (R) Stephen King’s Carrie returns, and the results are much better than many feared. Though not as stylish as Brian De Palma’s 1976 classic, the new adaptation from Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce may be more affecting as a tale of abuse and bullying (a pretty relevant topic for today’s teens). All the memorable set pieces are recreated, from the bloody gym shower to the fiery, bloody Prom.

Peirce smartly does not attempt a shotfor-shot remake (hopefully, everyone learned that lesson from Gus Van Sant’s Psycho), especially considering De Palma’s extraordinary use of split screens/diopters. The new Carrie may lack the original’s defining style, but it has a stellar lead in Chloe Grace Moretz, who nails everything but Sissy Spacek’s natural mousiness. Julianne Moore makes a terrifying mother to the telekinetic teen, and Judy Greer is a believable, funny Ms. Desjardin. The other teen actors are blandly pretty CW fodder (though the film’s Tommy Ross, Ansel Elgort, has some big pics on the way). It’s doubtful anyone will choose to watch the new Carrie over the original in thirty plus years, but I hope it sparks a renaissance for King remakes.

Bring on a new Firestarter!

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 (PG) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, wasn’t quite one for which a sequel seemed necessary.

Inventor Flint Lockwood (v. Bill Hader) is working for The Live Corp Company when he must leave his job to investigate claims that his machine is creating food-animal hybrids. This flick sounds like it barely escaped a direct to DVD launch.

THE COUNSELOR (R) It’s hard not to get pumped about Cormac McCarthy’s first produced screenplay, especially considering the cast— Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt—and director Ridley Scott.

Fassbender plays a lawyer whose dabbling in drug trafficking takes him in way too deep. Few fall movies have me as legitimately excited. I want to read the book tie-in too!

DON JON (R) Jersey boy Jon (writerdirector Joseph Gordon-Levitt) loves the ladies, his pad, his car, his family, his boys, his church and his porn.

But when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), Jon learns he

might have to give up his favorite pastime. This awfully adult dramedy might make some viewers uncomfortable with its rather frank sexuality, especially regarding Jon’s porn watching habits.

But mature audiences will enjoy an all too topical discussion of how the Internet has potentially changed young people’s sexual expectations with its easy access pornography.

ENOUGH SAID (PG-13) This comedy from writer-director Nicole Holofcener (I really enjoyed her last two features, the wonderful Please Give and Friends with Money) seems like a wonderful way to say an all too early goodbye to James Gandolfini. He costars with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Eva, a masseuse dating Gandolfini’s character, Albert. Unfortunately, her newest client (Catherine Keener) is Albert’s ex-wife, and she has nothing but bad things to say about him. (Ciné) • ESCAPE PLAN (R) If you are feeling nostalgic for the action movies of the ‘80s/’90s, Escape Plan is for

THE FIFTH ESTATE (R) This biopic about Julian Assange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the controversial Internet hero slash traitor. Director Bill Condon needs another great film (i.e. Gods and Monsters) to recover his reputation from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2, which are arguably the series’ best entries.

The supporting cast—Daniel Bruhl, Carice von Houten, Stanley Tucci, Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie and David Thewlis—is strong.

GRACE UNPLUGGED (PG) Grace Trey is a Christian singer/songwriter and daughter of one-hit-wonder Johnny Trey. Seeking stardom, Grace leaves her small, church-centered town for Los Angeles.

GRAVITY (PG-13) Yes. Children of Men filmmaker Alfonse Cuaron’s latest film is as great as you have heard.

An astronaut (George Clooney) and a doctor (Sandra Bullock) must work together to survive an accident in the cold, silent confines of space. Though

Don’t hit grandpa there again. you. Structural security specialist Ray Breslin (Sylvestor Stallone) has spent most of his life breaking out of prison. His latest job incarcerates him in a secret, secure prison for really, really bad guys, where he meets Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

The chemistry between these two aging action stars is the main draw of Escape Plan. After easing back into action movies with small roles in Stallone’s Expendables franchise and the underrated The Last Stand, the former Terminator seems to be having a lot more fun than Stallone. The movie is entertainingly forgettable, but it would benefit from more creativity in the casting. As the evil warden, Jim Caviezel tries for a mad quirkiness, but this role would have been better handled

by Vincent D’Onofrio, who is wasted outside the prison walls. All the best supporting actors—Amy Ryan, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson—are squandered outside the prison. Why not cast Arnie as the warden and Stallone as the old turnkey that assists 50 Cent’s escape?

Nonetheless, watching Arnold and Sly work together is incentive enough.

EXODUS 1960. The Athens Jewish Film FestivaI presents a screening of the Academy Award winning retelling of the founding of the state of Israel.

Legendary director Otto Preminger guided Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint in this adaptation of Leon Uris’ novel. Israeli native, Dr. Assaf Oshri, a faculty member in the UGA Department of Human Development and Family Science, will introduce the screening.

(Ciné)

a science fiction film, Gravity is the most harrowing cinematic experience I can remember. It’s often more terrifying than any recent horror film. Taking two mega-stars and placing them in a straight up disaster movie that is heavily reliant on special effects takes so much vision and control to keep the spectacle from overwhelming the humanity. Gravity is heavyweight genre filmmaking that never lets up. It is intense, but you cannot miss it.

GROWN UPS 2 (PG-13) Former Hollywood bigshot Lenny Feder (Sandler) moves his family back to his tiny hometown, but rather than spend time with them, he mostly hangs out with his childhood besties. Grown Ups 2’s biggest accomplishment is how worthless it is. Argue all you want about what a great guy Sandler is, because at this point in his career you’ll find it impossible to convince someone he’s still funny, or better yet, relevant.

IN A WORLD… (R) Lake Bell is one talented lady. She’s funny, pretty and not a shabby writer-director. Her directorial debut, In a World…, won Sundance’s award for Best Screenplay.

Bell stars as Carol, a voice coach who longs to crack the movie trailer voiceover glass ceiling. Her dad just so happens to be the vocal king of movie trailers. With Rob Corddry, Eva Longoria, Ken Marino, Demetri Martin, Nick Offerman and Geena Davis. (Ciné) INEQUALITY FOR ALL (PG) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED (PG-13) No Se Aceptan Devoluciones tells the story of an infamous bachelor

from Mexico who becomes an unlikely father when a baby is left on his doorstep.

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 (PG-13) When Josh (Patrick Wilson) returned from the spirit world at the conclusion of Insidious, he didn’t return alone, and his family is in danger. Chapter 2 is like a reverse Insidious. Chapter 1 had its chilling, mysterious first two acts bogged down by Josh’s blah final stroll through the spirit world. The sequel painfully explicates a dumb story for two acts, relying on trite haunted house tropes like slamming doors and flying household objects, before a strong final act that finally brings the scary and some nifty callbacks to the first movie.

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) This crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia chronicles the major events of the second half of the 20th century through the eyes of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forrest Whitaker). With its exceptional cast— Robin Williams, James Marsden, Liev Schreiber, John Cusack and Alan Rickman—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia.

MACHETE KILLS (R) Machete Kills is a dumb, dumb movie, and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and star Danny Trejo know it. In this mostly superior sequel, ex-Federale Machete (Trejo) is seeking revenge for the death of his beloved Agent Sartana (Jessica Alba) when the U.S. President (Charlie Sheen, billed by his birth name Carlos Estevez) tasks him with stopping a mad Mexican revolutionary (an awesomely frenzied Demian Bechir). But the real big bad is arms maker Luther Voz (Mel Gibson).

Give in to the inanity of Rodriguez’s most brainlessly entertaining movie; Machete Kills fills the lampoonish void.

MUSCLE SHOALS This documentary

by Greg ‘Freddy’ Camalier illuminates the role FAME Studios and producer Rick Hall played in creating the Muscle Shoals, Alabama music scene. Music legends like Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett and Keith Richards attempt to explain the musical magic—that “Muscle Shoals Sound”—that emanated from a small town on the Tennessee River. This tuneful doc was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. (Ciné) PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), must save Camp Half-Blood, the safe haven for the gods’ half-mortal children. Backed by his pals—Athena’s daughter, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), and his Cyclops half-brother, Tyson (Douglas Smith)— Percy must defeat bland villain Luke (Jake Abel), rescue satyr Grover (Brandon Jackson) from Polyphemus and defeat a reborn Cronos. Even the all right FX cannot overcome the awful writing and charmless acting. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters has almost surely sunk the chances of Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse ever seeing the light of day.

PRISONERS (R) On a rainy Thanksgiving, two young girls go missing. The parents, Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis), look everywhere but eventually turn to the police, represented by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). A dark morality play from

Contraband scripter Aaron Guzikowski, the two and a half hour Prisoners lasts a while. Jackman will probably land on the Academy’s shortlist for his turn as survivalist Dover, who goes further to find her than the law allows.

ROMEO AND JULIET (PG-13) The latest version of Shakespeare’s seminal work about star-crossed lovers stars True Grit Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet, opposite Douglas Booth’s Romeo. The cast (Damien Lewis as Lord Capulet, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Benvolio, Stellan Skarsgard as the Prince of Verona and Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence) is solid without crushing it. Director Carlo Carlei benefits from having a script by the inimitable Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey” is so good!), but how will it ever out-teenage Baz’s R+J? THE ROOM (R) Johnny (writer-producer-director-star-charlatan Tommy Wiseau) is engaged to “beautiful” blonde Lisa (Juliette Danielle), who embarks on an affair with Johnny’s “best friend,” Mark (Greg Sestero).

The Room will leave you with so many questions that don’t need answering. Why am I in a theater at one in the morning watching this strange, hysterical man vomit drama on the big screen?

RUNNER RUNNER (R) Young buck, Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake), loses his tuition money gambling online.

As a Princeton man, he figures out he was cheated and confronts the sinister entrepreneur, Ivan Block (Ben Affleck), who cheated him. Surprisingly, Ivan offers Richie a job rather than just have him murdered. Naturally, what is too good to be true is, especially when there is a beautiful Brit (Gemma Arterton) involved. If you skipped August’s Paranoia (and you should have), you could catch up with Runner Runner. But then again, why would you? Unless you’re a JT or Affleck fanatic, run run away.

RUSH (R) You will never know you are watching a Ron Howard film during this recreation of the 1976 Formula One battle between James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). Howard recreates the sensational racing more realistically than any racing movie I have ever seen, and the script by Academy Award nominee Peter Morgan fashions realistic people from these larger than life race car drivers. Whether or not you like racing (stock car or formula) or Ron Howard films, Rush is that rare adult action drama that never loses speed on or off the track.

2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY (NR) 1968. Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece returns to the big screen.

Humanity discovers a giant monolith, and two astronauts (Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood) embarks on a voyage of discovery. However, artificial intelligence HAL 9000 (voiced by Douglas Rain) has other plans. Kubrick cowrote the screenplay with science fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke, but the legendary filmmaker’s epic visuals, scored to memorable classical works, are what stun. Kubrick won his only Academy Award—for Best Visual Effects no less—for this film. (Ciné) WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) After running afoul of his drug kingpin pal (Ed Helms), Dave (Jason Sudeikis) must smuggle a smidge that turns out to be a lot more than a smidge of marijuana across the border. Dave hatches a brilliant plan to fake a family with stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), runaway teen Casey (Emma Roberts) and virginal Kenny (Will Poulter). Everything works out great until he runs into a swell DEA agent and his wife (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and the big-time Mexican drug lord to whom the weed really belongs to catches up with them.

Happy Hour Monday-Friday 4-6pm

The Grifters INEQUALITY FOR ALL (PG) Since the great financial crash of 2008, we Americans have done a lot of soul-searching about how we got to this point. Do we blame the bankers for offering up easy loans? Do we hate the Wall Street fat cats for romanticizing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;greed is goodâ&#x20AC;? atmosphere? Do we rebuke our elected politicians for ignoring the warning signs and caring more about the concerns of corporate lobbyists than the good of the country? Or do we blame ourselves for buying into the myth of savage capitalism? There is plenty to be angry about when it comes to the state of the economy. What can the average person do, however, when they are understandably more concerned about paying rent, bills and taking care of their families than participating in a revolution Robert Reich against an economic and political system that appears to have failed everyone but an elite minority of rich people?

In director Jacob Kornbluthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documentary Inequality for All, Kornbluth clearly and entertainingly explicates economist Robert Reichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theories of why the middle class in America has been increasingly squeezed financially since the late 1970s and how the divide between the underclass and the so-called wealthy one-percent has grown so exponentially. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harsh and distressing exposĂŠ.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an eye-opening examination and one that is grounded in facts, not ideology.

Something is decidedly off in America, and the stink has risen to such a level that only a willfully ignorant person would continue the great lie that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to work itself out on its own.

Reich, a familiar media presence on cable news shows as well as an author and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, makes for an engaging, affable and humorous host. He also served as Secretary of Labor in President Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. Reich is routinely bashed as a socialist and liberal agitator by conservative talk show hosts, but what is clearly evident in Inequality for All, is Reichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even-handedness in addressing the economic crisis at hand.

Although the documentary does have an agenda, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movie with a message aimed toward action (regardless of whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a conservative or liberal) and putting this country back on its tracks. Some will scream that the movie is attempting to fan class warfare.

What itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to do is awaken us to the notion that the game is fixed. And the vast majority of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the winning hand.

art notes Spellbinding and Quirky Works

“72 Spontaneous Monsterfied Portraits in Red, Black and White” by Dan Smith is featured in the “Fiendish Five! Art Show” at Flicker Theatre & Bar.

Fiendish Five: The Fiendish Five! Art Show, currently on display at Flicker Theatre & Bar at 263 W. Washington St., presents a fun lineup of devilishly great artwork in celebration of Halloween. Dan Smith a.k.a. See Dan Paint! contributes his signature “spontaneous monsterfication” paintings, created in a cartoonish pop art style influenced by comics and skateboard art, including a giant panel of 72 monsterfied portraits in red, black and white. John Stidham creates tricolor screen prints centering on strong emotions like the anguish of a drowning man and the terror of a woman hiding in tall grass from a hunter. Cindy Jerrell’s bewitching, wooden puppets—one housed in a theater-like shadowbox, the other two on handles—are simultaneously playful and vaguely unsettling. The show is rounded out by brightly colored, light-hearted illustrations of animals in costume as other animals by Joe Havasy and goosebump-inducing illustrations by tattoo artist Mike Groves. A reception with the artists will be held Friday, Oct. 25, 5 p.m.–8 p.m., and the exhibit will be on display through the end of the month.

Penumbra: The fifth annual Penumbra Halloween Art Show, housed in a pop-up gallery located at 127 N. Jackson St., will showcase a collection of creepy, eerie and peculiar works each day through Thursday, Oct. 31 from 12 p.m.–10 p.m. A special reception on Friday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. will include a costume contest, carved pumpkin contest, Tarot readings, door prizes and a fortune telling station with Anni Paisley, inspired by the old-fashioned fortune teller machines of penny arcades and amusement parks.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 23, 2013

grub notes New Digs YODELAY: So the chances that Vanessa and Juan Molina’s new restaurant, Echo (255 W. Washington St., 706-548-2266), derives its name from the R. Kelly song about sexing up your lady all day and night are pretty much zero. Instead, one has to see it as a way of saying that the new place is basically the old place, Broad Street Coffee, in a different location.

The space, which up until recently housed Farm 255, is considerably larger than the Molinas’ previous tiny but extremely cute quarters on Broad, near Hancock, and the sizable patio attracts more guests than the big interior, at least while the weather is pleasant.

The decor isn’t appreciably different, save for a pretty green trellis with the new name that surrounds the entrance to that patio, a weird wall of dog paintings and a small stage built in the corner inside, which should allow for musical performances even in the cold and rain.

The menu hasn’t changed a ton from the Broad Street days, and its culinary ambitions are specific: exclusively vegan first and foremost, with an emphasis on organic and healthful ingredients. Echo isn’t presenting itself as a gourmet destination, unlike its predecessor in the space, and that managing of expectations is a smart Echo move. The more adventurous-sounding dishes can be better than the basic ones. The “tuna” melt, for example, made with jackfruit mimicking tuna salad and Daiya “cheese” (made with cassava and arrowroot), is a fine imitation of the real thing and better than many with actual fish and cheese. The jackfruit has a pleasant, mildly citrusy flavor, and the substantial multigrain bread is well griddled.

The burrito, on the other hand, which contains brown rice, black beans, veggies and vegan queso, is fairly bland. Whatever the central sauce is that binds it together, with hints of curry powder, it doesn’t taste like much. The stir fry, a veggie-centric option with tofu, broccoli, mushrooms, etc., served over steamed kale, is considerably better. It may have a slightly heavy hand with the soy sauce, but it’s also not shy about flavor, and the texture of everything included is spot-on.

The kale salad uses delicate leaves and tosses them with carrots, red onions, bell peppers, big blueberries and candied nuts. It’s a touch on the sweet side, but it comes together well. The chickpea and sweet potato burger is rather mushy—a hazard of the genre— and, again, a little sugary, but its flavor is good. If you’re ordering a sandwich, you get a choice of vegan slaw or “mac & no cheese,” but I’d recommend upgrading to a salad or veggie side instead, as neither is particularly exciting.

The restaurant is also maintaining the previous tenant’s focus on the bar, crafting regular cocktail specials and offering many deals at happy hour. It does brunch, lunch and dinner, is closed Monday and takes credit cards.

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST ‘SHOT: Similarly to Echo, the food options at Hendershot’s

Coffee Bar (237 Prince Ave., 706-353-3050) aren’t shooting for anything hugely innovative, nor should they be. They’re not the primary reason people go there, but they do offer some good choices for neighborhood grub.

Ivey Hughes, local musician, has been cooking up sandwiches and a few other items for some time, and the coffee shop/bar’s move into the former A Tavola has given him a much bigger kitchen.

The refrigerated case next to the bar has a regular stock of pimento cheese (delicious stuff, with a great texture and a bit of a kick to it, and worth the trip), redneck caviar (black-eyed peas, jalapenos and tomatoes, with vinaigrette, and too sweet by far) and chicken salad (somewhere in the middle of these two; still a bit too sweet but pleasantly simple in its composition), ready for graband-go.

Kelly Hart

J’s Bottle Shop

If you have more time, and you may need it, judging from my experience, the kitchen also makes some fancier things to order, listed on a laminated menu on the bar. You can get a plump game sausage that isn’t too soft, unlike many an entry in the field, served in a nice bun and well grilled with onions, peppers and whole-grain mustard. Or you can opt for a pulled pork sandwich with decent but not spectacular smoke flavor and red-onion marmalade on flat, crumbly pan-fried cornbread.

Sandwiches come with a bag of chips but can be (and are fairly advertised as) small.

Burgers, hot and cold veggie plates, a combination of pimento cheese with sriracha and bacon on a biscuit that I didn’t try but sounds fantastic, a shrimp sandwich and a couple of salads round things out.

The atmosphere is pleasantly cluttered, with a selection of used books for sale by the door and a bunch of stuff on the walls. Food to order is available at lunch every day from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. and again at dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. There is a full bar plus lots of coffee choices, options for kids include banana milk and, of course, Hendershot’s accepts credit cards.

WHAT UP?: Ideal Bagel is finally open. Daily Groceries Co-Op is adding beer and wine sales, in addition to Independent Baking Co.’s bread. Ike & Jane has added evening hours and will be open Thursday–Saturday, 6 to 10 p.m. serving burgers, wieners, Frito pie and veggie options.

Wild Rumpus

Offers Pre-Halloween Fun N ew Orleans has its Mardi Gras.

Savannah and Boston their St. Patrick’s Day. And even little Punxatawney, PA’s got its Groundhog Day. Some cities are lucky like that, to have days of revelry so tied in to their heritage and identity and reputation that they’re like hand in glove.

But Athens? Well, there are game days, sure, and music days, but maybe Halloween should be ours. As far as downtown goes, there’s nothing more communal, weirder, more fun and more representative of the Never Never Land of safe anarchy that Athens usually is.

Downtown Athens at Halloween has always been a real delight, with grown folks roaming the streets in costume, pinballing from bar to dance party to cover band to bar. But it’s also been a free-for-all, a shapeless beast that comes in the night and leaves you with a hangover. For the past five years, though, Wild Rumpus Parade & Spectacle has succeeded, if not in corralling Athens at Halloween, then giving it a centerpiece, a sun (or black hole) around which to orbit.

“Athens has always been crazy fun on Halloween,” says organizer, ringleader and parade chief Timi Conley, “especially over the past decade, so I think nobody thought there was a need for it.” But what started out as a small idea five years ago has exploded into an annual event involving thousands of participants and bystanders.

Conley says he threw around the idea of a parade the first year, created a Facebook invitation that received little feedback, and almost didn’t show up to his own event, because it was a chilly, rainy evening on Halloween 2009. He’s glad he did. Within half an hour of the posted meeting time, 300 people had gathered and a tradition had got its start.

Conley—who says he loved his mother’s homemade Halloween costumes when he was a kid in Tennessee and admits to being something of “a little vandal”—is amazed and delighted by the success of his idea.

A lot of things get started in Athens with the intent of creating a lasting tradition but only make it a handful of years (or less) before fizzling due to the die-off of interest, or of the founders’ energy and more. But the Rumpus shows no sign of slowing down at the half-decade mark. Though Conley has lived in Athens for more than two decades and played music in numerous bands, like Kite to the Moon and the Fuzzy Sprouts, Wild Rumpus is his biggest and most likely lasting contribution to the city’s cultural life.

This year’s parade may be its biggest and wildest yet, as UGA students will be in town— the weekend closest to Halloween usually coincides with the annual Georgia-Florida football game, an out-of-town tradition, but this is a rare year without overlap.

The Rumpus is a growing thing, and it’s become more than just a parade, though it is that, with costumed individuals, organized groups, a drum crew leading the whole thing and Conley at the head dressed like the character Max from Where the Wild Things Are (the children’s book from which the Rumpus derives its name), leading Athens’ unruly beasts.

The 7 p.m. gathering point is the parking lot at the corner of Pulaski and Clayton streets, in front of the Caledonia Lounge and Hot Breath Glass Studio. The throng leaves at 7:30 p.m., heads up Clayton, swings left at College Avenue and then left again on Washington Street towards its terminus in front of the 40 Watt Club, where there will be live music on an outdoor stage from 8–9 p.m.

Earlier in the day, there’s Wild Rumpus Kids-and-Family Monster Mash at the 40 Watt from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., with face painting, musical and dance performances, mask and noisemaker creation stations and more.

Following the parade, the 40 Watt also hosts a show featuring local bands Space Trucks, Timi & Kite to the Moon and Ghost Owl. The Rumpus operates also as a fundraising engine; last year, $1,000 went to the Athens Area Humane Society, and contributions this year—which can be made at wildrumpus.org— will go to Nuçi’s Space.

The Rumpus seems to bring out families and folks who might not normally venture downtown on a Saturday night.

“Yeah, I just love that,” says Conley.

“Though, of course there’s part of me that wishes the spectators were in costume and getting in the parade, but some people just love to watch! It’s just a huge energy generator. But just put on a costume and show up, design a float, put your energy into that, form a brigade, whatever! I’m thrilled that Athens has embraced it.”

music Now You See Mangum

The Conspicuous Return of Neutral Milk Hotel

N

eutral Milk Hotel is playing again, touring after a long hiatus, traveling the U.S. and Canada and Europe and Australia and Taiwan and pretty much everywhere else. But before it gets all “reunion tour”-y up in here, let’s clarify a point.

“I don’t think you can really call it a reunion, because they never broke up,” says Elf Power frontman Andrew Rieger with a wry smile.”They just took a long break.” His band will open many of the shows on Neutral Milk Hotel’s comeback tour.

Indeed, much of the narrative surrounding the band—the most conspicuous limb of the body that is the Athens-based Elephant 6 music and art collective—has been greatly exaggerated. Despite what you may have heard, NMH centerpiece Jeff Mangum never quit music, never suffered a career-ending nervous breakdown, never grew a crazy mountain-man beard nor retreated to a desolate wooded hermitage to live out his days in blissful solitude.

OK, so maybe he grew a beard. But by most other accounts, Mangum has quietly remained a part of the larger creative community (as well as, to some extent, the local Athens one) over the decade-and-a-half since his band’s undisputed masterpiece, 1998’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, was released.

He has popped up in various locations with various E6 projects, including the collective’s Holiday Surprise tour, where at several shows he played Neutral Milk Hotel’s “Engine.” He has experimented with abstract sound collage. He has collected field recordings in Bulgaria. He has paid tribute to ill and fallen friends the way he knows how—through song.

The operative word here is “he.” Aided in no small part by Mangum’s Salingerization, Aeroplane took on such a distinct life of its own in the years following its unveiling that the real, living person behind the record’s plaintive strums and noisy swells, its gloriously fuzzed-out psychedelic folk epics, was lost. Mangum became, in effect, less an artist and more an idea.

To wit, his return to the spotlight has been painstakingly fussed over. In 2011, Mangum played a pair of shows at Trinity-St.Paul’s United Church in Toronto, Ontario. The resulting media hyperventilation nearly reached hurricane force.

That same year, he went on to play the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in New Jersey and perform a surprise

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 23, 2013

stripped-down set at New York City’s Zuccotti Park during the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, among other lowish-key appearances.

A Neutral Milk Hotel vinyl box set appeared around then, featuring Aeroplane and its full-length predecessor, On Avery Island (a record Rieger contends is “just as good” as Aeroplane), as well as a pair of 7-inches and two 10-inch EPs. One of those EPs, Ferris Wheel on Fire, consisted of eight previously unreleased acoustic Mangum recordings from 1992–1996.

A nationwide solo jaunt followed.

Mangum’s journey back to Neutral Milk Hotel was spurred by the realization that his music still meant something, and to a new generation of people, says longtime friend Bryan Poole, also of Elf Power.

“For a period of time, he would say, ‘I feel like maybe I want to play [Neutral Milk Hotel songs].’ But I think he was nervous, because he hadn’t done it in so long. And then a couple years ago, he happened to be somewhere with a group of people and played a song or two. And they were like, ‘That was great! Play some more!’,” Poole laughs. “And they had no idea who he was. And he’s all, ‘Oh, you wanna hear another song?’”

During his solo tour, which included a hometown stop at the 40 Watt, Mangum engaged the crowd in light banter and even welcomed vocal participation from fans. To some, it was an unexpected attitude from a man whose standoffishness was rumored to be legendary. To his friends, it was just Jeff being happy Jeff.

“I think it was a good idea to Jeff to kind of dip his toe back in the water by doing the solo touring for a year or two, which went really well,” says Rieger, who, with Laura Carter and Neutral Milk Hotel’s Scott Spillane, tagged along on that tour as the aptly named trio Andrew, Scott & Laura.

“People really have a deep connection with those songs,” Rieger adds. “It’s cool to see them get to see it live, and it’s nice to see Jeff having so much fun doing it.”

In May of this year, the Neutral Milk Hotel tour was announced. The group responsible for Aeroplane—Mangum, Spillane, Julian Koster and Jeremy Barnes—would play together for the first time since 1998.

Early reports from the full-band tour, which began Oct. 11 in Baltimore, describe Mangum’s voice as sounding heftier, more

gravelly than before. According to Rieger, Mangum and crew have been practicing for months, and the band is as tight and yet ramshackle as ever. There is a tangible feeling of chemistry and jubilation. “I really do love all of these people, just so you know,” Mangum was recently quoted as saying from the stage where Neutral Milk Hotel played its first show in 15 years.

Of course, for the E6 crowd, it has always been about mutual respect. Rieger and Poole both recall time spent in the house at 156 Grady Ave., where Mangum wrote much of the material that would end up on Aeroplane, as a magical, mystical experience. Poole describes “an electricity in the air, a feeling that something awesome was happening.”

That electricity, spawned from unquestioning camaraderie, is an important and overlooked part of what makes Neutral Milk Hotel still feel so vital. Amidst the threat of economic collapse, of cynical politics and government shutdowns and digitally assisted cultural fragmentation, the band represents a certain bygone communal ideal. To E6ers, social networking meant late nights spent huddled around tape recorders and stories swapped at Sunday potluck dinners.

Heard in this context, an album like Aeroplane takes on an almost physical quality. It seems appropriate; even in his supposed absence, Mangum’s music has continued to imprint itself upon listener after new listener.

Poole says he always thought of E6 as being “like a school of art that people would look back on from future generations and maybe our little scene would’ve made some sort of mark.

“That’s what it felt like at the time,” he adds. “And I guess we did.”

the wake of the sadly defunct Athens PopFest, longtime Athenian Gordon Lamb wanted to stay busy. Having worked as a PopFest partner since 2008, Lamb turned his attention to Athens Intensified. Although the twonight event, hosted at the Caledonia Lounge, begun rather modestly, Lamb (who works at the Caledonia in addition to churning out Flagpole’s weekly Threats & Promises column), is quick to emphasize that Athens Intensified is not quite a festival, preferring to call it an “event,” although he hopes to one day grow it into a full-fledged fest.

Last year’s inaugural Intensified was no measly affair. Lamb managed to land legendary punks The Queers and experimental icons Silver Apples, as well as a slew of Athens newcomers like Muuy Biien and Karbomb. The

“I hate the idea of something cool happening that some kid wants to go to and they can’t just because they’re 16 or 17,” he says.

A fan as much as an Athens music guru, Lamb looks forward to the acts playing this year’s event. A longtime follower of British rockers The Smiths, Lamb glows with excitement when talking about Smiths bassist Andy Rourke, who will perform a Friday night DJ set. Lamb has also developed close connections with many of the bands slotted to play, including hometown math-rockers Maserati, and Cave, a psychedelic rock band that releases albums on Chicago’s Drag City label.

While there is no stylistic thread connecting the bands playing this year’s event per se, what ties it together is Lamb’s enthusiasm for them all. “It is a real accurate reflection of at least a portion of my tastes,” he says.

Cave event also included a Thursday night showcase of artists paying homage to the late Elliott Smith featuring T. Hardy Morris of Dead Confederate, among others.

Managing an event like Athens Intensified is no easy task. Lamb has taken on nearly all roles in the planning process, including promotions, booking, handling artist relations and finding sponsors to help make the event possible.

While those attending the event may not think of the work that goes into preparing something like Athens Intensified, Lamb nevertheless manages to stay enthusiastic. And despite taking on all these responsibilities, he still somehow finds time to have fun.

“It’s very difficult. I have to literally force myself to stop—turn off my cellphone and stand right in front of a band,” he says. “It’s almost as if you’re the director of a play. Is it possible to remove yourself from that director’s role? I don’t know. But I do find time to enjoy myself.”

For the second year in a row, Athens Intensified will be an all-ages affair. Lamb notes that it is a “no-brainer” for him to open it up to everyone. “I have bands playing that aren’t even 21 years old yet. Why wouldn’t I let fans under 18 or 21 in?” he says.

Although Lamb admits that there are risks to having an all-ages event in a college town, the benefits, he says, outweigh them.

The two nights of Athens Intensified are somewhat stylistically divided, in order to serve audiences with different interests. This year, Friday takes on a more dance-oriented flavor. In addition to Andy Rourke, Moonson, Tonda, The Gold Party and murk daddy flex will perform. Saturday’s more traditional punk rock-themed showcase includes Cave and several Athens-based bands, like Maserati, Vincas and TaterZandra, plus new wave-influenced Atlanta punks Georges Bataille Battle Cry. Lamb hopes to expand Athens Intensified, but in due time, and on his terms.

“I want to grow this, but in the smartest way possible,” he says. “I also want it to be approached from a thoughtful point of view.

I don’t want to be in a position of booking bands only because they can fill a room. I always want the lineup to be made up of artists that I really like personally.”

urt Vile answers the phone while driving through his hometown of Philadelphia, a city he will soon leave for an extended tour across North America and abroad. For someone who has made a career of singing slowly, drawing out his words to match his enthralling guitar playing, Vile speaks rapidly.

But despite a quick wit and sentences that begin before the last has ended, the songwriter’s outlook on his rigorous tour schedule and career to come is as easygoing as his music would have you believe.

Much of what Vile packs for tour, he says, is to keep his mind occupied while he’s away from home. Among his necessities are Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian, a sizeable chunk of Randy Newman’s music (which he confesses is a current obsession), his guitars and “various levels of minions.” His preparations are otherwise minimal.

“Honestly, you usually just get together what you can, and then the van gets there, and you get in and you leave everything else by the wayside,” Vile says.

Despite dates that take him across the globe, Vile never spends exceeding lengths of time away without returning to Philly. The noted family man will often return home for weeks at a time in between major segments of each tour. Still, he says, it’s not easy to leave home. “I try to mentally prepare myself, but you get a little backed up. Playing the music is the easy part.”

He makes it look that way. Onstage, with his head down and long hair swaying, covering all but a sliver of his face, it’s obvious that the music comes naturally. The mesmerizing nature of Vile’s music is what moves him and his listeners, it seems, to elude the normal pressures of time.

Six of 11 tracks on Vile’s most recent LP, Wakin on a Pretty Daze, exceed six minutes, unusual for a modern-day album. Not everyone could get away with songs that eclipse the average attention span, but this is one of many ways that Vile sets himself apart. Yet he doesn’t do it with breaking the mold in mind.

It’s not about making a statement directed at an ADD-afflicted audience; it’s intuitive.

“There are endless possibilities playing a song or a chord progression,” says Vile.

When recording his latest album, he explains,

“Certain riffs would be hypnotic to me and put me in a trance and be sort of pretty and ethereal, and I would get lost in it. It’s hypnotic and therapeutic. I figured we’d keep going and fade out.”

Vile says that on these longer recordings he played with the thought of editing out sections to shorten the tracks, but instead, “I just heard them, and it felt right,” he says.

“You just keep bobbing your head.”

Even shorter tracks like “Never Run Away” and “Snowflakes are Dancing” cycle and repeat in the same relaxed fashion as the record’s more epic songs, some of which are three times their length. Vile’s lyrics also manage to be both unassuming and prophetic. He expresses truisms without pretension, making the music all the more accessible and dreamy.

Even in the face of life, love, death and reality, “I guess” is a recurring phrase in his songs, dispelling the notion that he’s any kind of expert on the matter.

Vile approaches the matter of getting back into the studio to record what will be his sixth solo album with an equally casual mindset.

“I’ve been writing a lot of lyrics and music, and I’m thinking about [recording],” he says.

“I don’t know when we’ll officially go into the studio. We’ll be thinking about different spaces to get into in New York and Philly, but it’s pretty laid-back, not trying to plan some big official thing with top-notch studios and top producers—just kind of woodshedding.”

For the time being, Vile looks forward to the shows to come and finding different things to enjoy about each stop on his tour.

“I’m excited to go to Athens,” he says. “I guess it’s a city, but it’s like a beautiful country suburb with big porches, and I feel like I could sit on one of those porches for three days.”

You Can Always Go Downtown: The Internet is both a wasteland and a treasure trove, and this week it leaned all the way toward the latter for me. I stumbled upon the short film Girls Are Girls & Guys Are Guys, which was shot on the patio of gone-but-not-forgotten Athens watering hole T.K. Harty’s on Aug. 17, 1978. The footage is from open audition reels that Swiss documentarian Steff Gruber shot for a film about women’s liberation. Notable appearances are made by Teresa Randolph Ott, Dana Downs and The B-52s’ Cindy Wilson (a full year before the band’s debut album was released). The audition footage was assembled into a short film by Jim Herbert and is preserved for your edification over at youtube.com/user/bioscope09.

Wake Me When It’s Over: Careful observers will have already noticed the existence of a new supergroup of sorts featuring members of The District Attorneys and Tedo Stone. For some reason, they insist on calling themselves Party Dolls, which is, I suppose, as forgettably inoffensive as their music, which is a bland mix of predictable Americana-ish chord progressions and worn pop hooks. But I’m all for second chances, so I’m totally open to giving the

band’s upcoming album, Love Wars Baby, a spin when it comes out. The album will feature guest appearances from Ruby Kendrick and Jacob Morris (Moths) in addition to the core Dolls: the aforementioned Tedo Stone along with Drew Beskin, Frank Keith IV and Walker Beard. There’s a live show archived over at Southern Shelter (southernshelter. com) if you wanna hear what I’m talking about.

Tooth And Nails: The free digital download version of the new album Gotham, by Magd, is out now, and the actual physical CD, which is also slated to be free, will hit the ground this weekend. Who are these boys? Well, punchy, they’re Richard Hunsinger (Tonda) and Michael Lauden (Scab Queen), and they make a whole lot of noise. Some of it’s righteous, and some will grind your teeth right off. That said, I’ve found a whole lot to love in Magd’s improvisational workouts, and the duo’s overall aesthetic reminds me very much

Just A Few Steps North: Take a nice step into some Athens history this Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Lickskillet Artists Market & Festival.

Yes, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? Anyway, it runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lyndon House Arts Center (293 Hoyt St.) and the event takes its name from the historic Athens neighborhood that once surrounded the WareLyndon House. This structure is the only remaining building from the neighborhood, the rest of which was demolished in the early ‘70s. Live music will be provided by Grape Soda, Larry Forte, Dan Wilson, Grayson Daniels, the Qamar Odyssey Dancers, Scott Low, Dixieland 5, Grassland String Band, The HEAP and Laura Connely. The whole event is free and includes all sorts of kidfriendly stuff like face-painting, mask-making, a pumpkin patch, etc. The artists market will feature, um, artists selling stuff. Food vendors, author appearances and other things will all surely spin you into a tizzy and make you proud all over again to call Athens home. Gather more information via lyndonhouse artsfoundation.com and facebook.com/ LyndonHouseArts.

Coming Soon: Widespread Panic brings its magic carpet ride back to Atlanta for its traditional twin dates over the New Year’s holiday. The first date, Dec. 30 at Atlanta Symphony Hall, is totally sold out, but tickets are still available for the band’s New Year’s Eve show at Philips Arena. Reserved seats and general admission tickets are both $70, and a portion of each ticket sale will go toward funding Tunes For Tots and Feeding America. In other news, a couple weeks ago Widespread Panic announced the publication of a 320-page book of the band’s concert posters spanning the years 1986–2013. It’s titled Poster Children: Artwork of Widespread Panic, and although it doesn’t have a specific release date yet (other than “soon”), it’s supposed to be available through local record stores. So, I’m imagining this will be out by the holiday season. Oh yeah, and if you really wanna make your buddy fuzzy this winter, pick ‘em up a Dave Schools pillow made by PALS of Athens Musicians. You can find those locally at Frontier, or see facebook.com/ PalsOfAthensMusicians. For all Panic info, head to widespreadpanic.com.

Kid and Thayer Savoring the Brew: A Taste of Kenosha Sarrano Play “Twin Peaks” Shakespeare’s Women The World Famous · 8 p.m. · FREE! Athens Community Theater · Oct. 25–26, 8 p.m. & Oct. 27, 2 p.m. · $5 The Town & Gown Players present a new twist on Shakespeare under the lead of Dillon Nelson, who will make his T&G directorial debut. Savoring the Brew stars the three Romani sisters—played by Kris Schultz, Brittanny Krause and Rose of Athens Associate Artistic Director Danielle Bailey Miller—who sing and dance their way through explorations of love, loss and finding strength in a male-dominated world. The script, written by Mary Emily O’Bradovich, Michelle Jordan and Christina Purcell, is part of the Town & Gown Second Stage Series, which presents lesser-known, Savoring the smaller-scale productions each weekend following the closing of a main stage show. Playwright Mary Emily O’Bradovich will host a post-performance talk-back on Saturday, Oct. 26, offering viewers an opportunity to ask questions and gain insight into the production’s artistic process.

Kick off the Halloween cover band season with a very special show at The World Famous Monday evening, when local jazz godfathers Kenosha Kid and singersongwriter Thayer Sarrano will perform the music of “Twin Peaks.” The soapy and atmospheric David Lynch vehicle first aired on ABC in the early ‘90s and has enjoyed quite the second life of late thanks to a cultish, culturemining generation that was too young to watch when it first aired. The series was as notable for its soundtrack as for its “Who Killed Laura Palmer?” plot; director Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti famously teamed up with human songbird Julee Cruise for the spooky, slinky Brew soundtrack. It’s equal parts noir and new wave, a synth-y, sparkling dreamworld of sound. [Gabe Vodicka] MUSIC | Tuesday, Oct. 29

40 Watt Club · 8 p.m. · $13 (adv.), $15 (door) Sonic Youth’s 2011 split meant that the group’s members would have plenty of time on their hands, and they’ve all found other creative endeavors since.

While Kim Gordon is busy crafting skeletal noise movements with her new duo Body/Head, her exhusband and former bandmate Thurston Moore is making the most aggressive, unadorned music of his career with Chelsea Light Moving, a rocking four-piece Chelsea Light Moving that also includes John Moloney and Keith Wood from psych outfit Sunburned the culmination of a monthlong residency Hand of the Man and NYC session player at Green Room and a celebration of Sans Samara Lubelski. The band’s self-titled Abri’s debut record, the appropriately titled debut LP, out earlier this year, is a taut, Shelter. The album (really an EP, clockdissonant record that delves into themes ing in as it does at only 22 minutes), out of anarchy and angst and even features a on the Athens/West Virginia imprint Twin Germs cover. It’s not the headiest work of Cousins Records, is a solid seven-track outMoore’s storied career, but damn if it ain’t ing that showcases the duo’s often playful a ton of fun.

Gotham is actually quite beautiful and emotionally searing in a way that the group’s existing live recordings either haven’t emphasized or haven’t exhibited. Either way, give ‘em 40 minutes and cast your vote over at magd.bandcamp.com.

Last week: Midnight Jesus packs out the Caledonia, but Casey leaves before Genevieve can talk to him.

G

Chapter 12.

Fright Night

enevieve didn’t see Casey again until the weekend before Halloween, when she spotted him in the crowd at the end of the Wild Rumpus parade in front of the stage on Washington Street, standing next to Jackson watching the fire dancers. He wasn’t even wearing a costume, other than a stupid glittery bowler hat on top of his jeans and flannel. A guy on stilts twisted through the shouting, dancing mass of people. Three girls dressed as tacos ran by holding hands. Casey just stood there oblivious, staring into the flames.

Why was he still in Athens? His life there obviously sucked.

From what Jackson had told her, he was still living in the 909 Broad apartments with Michael’s brother, who was apparently some kind of psychopath, and unless he’d misrepresented his family history to her, she doubted he could afford the place.

The only job he’d been able to get after two months in town was the early shift at Starbucks. Now when she was downtown she walked on the opposite side of College Avenue to avoid him, after spotting him outside one morning in his embarrassing green apron and black visor with a broom. He’d looked right at her but didn’t smile or return her wave. She’d hurried toward the intersection and walked against traffic to get away.

Not only was he giving her the cold shoulder, he was also stealing her friends—when she last talked to Jackson, he’d waxed poetic about what an awesome guy Casey was and how much their other friends liked him, and he’d goaded her into admitting that she still had some level of feelings for Casey, even though she was with Caspian. “Maybe you guys will still get together someday,” he’d said. “You seem like you’d be really good together.”

“I doubt it,” she’d said sourly.

Jackson was the kind of person who thought everyone should marry their high school sweetheart. He was congenitally unable to think badly of anyone. She’d wondered more than once whether he was asexual or just completely repressed, since his ideas about love seemed more like that of a 15-yearold girl than a 23-year-old male college senior. She wasn’t sure if it was a church thing, or what. He was the most Christian person she’d ever been able to stand being friends with. As far as she knew, he’d never dated anyone before.

Tonight he was dressed as Oscar the Grouch—he’d sawed the bottom off an aluminum garbage can and was wearing the rest of it around his waist along with a green sweatshirt. He’d attached the lid to a green ski cap and painted a single thick eyebrow across his forehead. He was grinning and bobbing his head to the music from the main stage. Girls kept looking at his costume and squealing.

“That’s him?” her friend Amanda said when Genevieve pointed Casey out to her. “Why doesn’t he have a costume?”

“He looks like a douche,” Hailey said.

Jackson saw them looking and headed over to them. Much to Genevieve’s dismay, Casey followed. She noticed for the first time that he was completing his Athens look by growing a beard, which, somewhat disturbingly, looked good on him.

“What are you guys supposed to be?” Jackson asked. “Charlie’s Angels?”

They were actually 1970s porn stars, but none of them said so. “Kind of,” Genevieve answered.

“Are you going into the 40 Watt after this?”

“Yeah. Mira and Pax are in there.”

“How’s it going?” Casey asked her. It was the first time he’d

spoken to her in two months, and it was strange to hear his voice again. “Your show was great. I was going to talk to you afterwards, but I got a call I had to take.” He sounded sincere.

“Thanks a lot, man,” she said, smiling with relief. “Thanks for coming. We were stoked so many people showed up.”

“Do you guys want to go in now?” Amanda asked. She was shivering in the fall night in her bikini top and cut-offs.

Genevieve was cold too, but her wig, while itchy, at least kept her head warm.

“Hey, you!” a girl in a Joe Biden mask exclaimed then, hugging Casey from behind. He made an odd face and jumped.

“Hey, Kelli,” he said and smiled at her.

Kelli Truett pulled off her mask and greeted everyone. “Hey, y’all. Hey, Genevieve. Hey, Amanda,” she said, shaking out her red bobbed hair and beaming. “Hey, sexy,” she said when she hugged Jackson, which made him blush. “Why didn’t you dress up?” she asked Casey.

“I didn’t know what a big deal it was here.” He laughed and smoothed his hair self-consciously while Genevieve and her friends stared at them. Kelli Truett?

“Okay, weirdo,” Kelli said and laughed loudly. “No, I’m kidding! Hey, did you get my text?” She took his arm as they all made their way through the crowd toward the 40 Watt. Kari and Amanda made Ohmygod faces at Genevieve behind them.

Casey put his arm around her as she whispered in his ear and teetered on her sky-high stripper heels.

“

orry if I’ve been weird to you recently,” Casey said in Genevieve’s ear an hour later. They were both a little drunk by then and sweating in the packed club. His beard brushed her face. “You’ve got to realize how dumb I felt.”

She shrugged. “Don’t worry about it. I’m sorry too. I didn’t know things with Caspian would be so… well, you know.”

“Can I buy you a drink?”

“Sure.”

He set his bowler hat on her head and pulled her toward the bar. “What do you want?”

“Just another PBR tallboy, I guess. Is that what you’re getting?”

A hairy man in his 30s with a fat gut, dressed as Miley Cyrus in a flesh-colored bikini and red lipstick and pigtails, danced by, and they both laughed.

“So you’re hanging out with Kelli now?” Genevieve asked when he handed her the cold can.

“Sort of. You know her?”

“Just from high school.”

“Oh. Weird.”

They looked toward the stage, where Kelli was dancing with Jackson and some of their other guy friends. Kelli looked back at them and smiled hugely, beckoning Casey with a crooked finger. He looked away, pretending not to see. Kelli’s face fell for a moment, but then her grin returned full-force as she turned back toward Daniel Russo, who was home from Duke for the weekend. “Where’s Caspian tonight?”

“Doing a show in Knoxville. He was in Nashville all week before that.”

“That’s cool.” He took a long drink from his beer and looked at her. “So who are you really supposed to be?”

“Linda Lovelace.”

He smirked a little. “I like it.” He took his hat back from her. “Do you want to dance? Since we’re friends again and all?”

“I thought you didn’t dance.”

“Sometimes I do. Only if I’m drinking a lot.”

“You haven’t drunk that much.”

“I got an early start.”

“What about Kelli?”

He shrugged. “Do you want to dance with me or what?”
