Film, Stage and Fiction The Devil in Mr. Johnson The next fundraiser at CinĂŠ for its Kickstarter campaign for vital new digital projection equipment is a showing of winners from the recent Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project, including the big winner from Athens, Last Fair Deal Gone Down. This is a short film dramatizing the legend of blues master guitarist Robert Johnson bargaining his soul to the Devil at a Mississippi crossroad in return for his talent. This is a flawless gem of a short film, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see why it won best film and several other honors, and why Myron Dietrich Tucker won best actor. Local musician Wilma produced, and local actor/director Allen Rowell assembled the all-star cast, many of whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll recognize. A Q&A follows the film, and if the other winners are in the same league with Last Fair Deal Gone Down, this should be a good night of film. CinĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kickstarter deadline is Aug. 18, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much time left. Get down to CinĂŠ on Tuesday Aug. 13 at 6:45 p.m. to see how good a film can be made in 48 hours.

city dope Welcome Back, Everybody Summer is almost over, and this sleepy little college town is about to awaken. Allow us to re-introduce ourselves.

For the uninitiated (freshmen), Flagpole is an alternative weekly that covers local and state politics and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening on campus, generally from a left-of-center perspective, although we try to be fair and factual and welcome all points of views. (For example, see our story on p. 7 about efforts to shut down UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polluting coal-fired boiler.) This column, City Dope, is your source for information about the doings of the Athens-Clarke County government, which often affect students.

Further inside, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the latest on Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worldfamous music scene, as well as food, drinks, movies, books, theater and a calendar that lists everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in our fair city.

In addition to the paper youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding in your hands, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re online, too. Visit Flagpole.com, like Facebook. com/FlagpoleMagazine and follow @BlakeAued (for news), @FlagpoleMusic and @FlagpoleMag (for a little bit of everything).

And now, on with the festivities.

Chait was writing about. Collins, who represents part of Athens, had a surprising reaction: He said he was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;anarchist and proud of it.â&#x20AC;?

No, Collins is not what we in Athens would consider an anarchist (and there are any number of Athens residents who would describe themselves that way). He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grown dreadlocks, turned vegan or started listening to Propagandhi, at least as far as I know. (Yeah, those are all stereotypes. Please direct hate mail to news@flagpole.com.)

The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;anarchistâ&#x20AC;? has always been associated with left-wing politics, but it looks like anti-government conservatives are reclaiming it. Chait compared the tea partiers on Congress to the radical left in the 1960s, except with actual powerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a comparison Collins embraced. In fact, he used the article as the basis for a fundraising email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increasingly, American voters are sending individuals to Congress who are more committed to conservative principles than earning favor with leadershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;members like me who are more concerned about what the folks back home think about their voting record than what Republican leadership thinks,â&#x20AC;? he wrote.

Anarchy in the GA: Last month, New York magazine ran an article accusing tea party conservatives in the U.S. Five Points Parking: The I am an anti-Christ! I am an anarchist!

parking will cost $5. Other nearby businesses have followed suit in restricting parking to their own customers, making it difficult to find a space in Five Points.

It will be up to the Mayor and Commission to decide whether to appeal, county Attorney Bill Berryman said.

Slingshot: The inaugural Athens Slingshot festival last March was a terrific idea, bringing together an international cast of visual artists and local musicians to draw road-trippers on their way to South by Southwest in Austin, TX. Its execution left something to be desiredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there was little to indicate it was a coherent event, not just a random collection of art installations and bandsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more than willing to give organizers Kai Riedl and Eric Marty the benefit of the doubt.

Marty and Riedl recently applied for a $15,000 state economic development grant through the Athens Downtown Development Authority to match $15,000 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already raised from the University of Georgia and other sources, and they hope to use that money to expand the festival into a miniSXSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to draw arts entrepreneurs, tech entrepreneurs, draw them to Athens,â&#x20AC;? Marty said.

In addition to raising Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; international profile, the festival could be a shot in the arm for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditionally been a slow month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do know the clubs had an excellent nightâ&#x20AC;Ś better than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had during spring break,â&#x20AC;? he said.

One smart move Riedl and Marty are planning is to move the festival ahead to March 21-22, 2014, the weekend after SXSW and the weekend after UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to capitalize on the student population and people being in town,â&#x20AC;? Riedl said.

Sic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Em: You may know me as Flagpoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident political junkie and Gabe Vodicka as our insufferable hipster music editor. But in our spare time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also football fans. We think there are a lot of folks like us who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be caught dead on North Campus in khakis and red golf shirts but still follow the Dawgs. (Or, in my case, the Ole Miss Land Sharks Black Bears Rebels.)

To that end, Flagpole is going to be experimenting with a little football coverage this fall. (Take a deep breath. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be OK. Think Deadspin except safe for work.) To kick things off, Gabe and I spoke to wide receiver Chris Conley, one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising stars, about his collection of guitars and love for John Mayer. Check it out on our music blog, Homedrone.

ICYMI: For those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out of town, the big stories of the summer are posted at Flagpole.com/news. They include the building boom on campus during former UGA President Michael Adamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tenure, university officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reluctance to extend health insurance to unmarried employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; domestic partners, an investigation into the ouster of former Athens Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Kathryn Lookofsky and county Auditor John Wolfe, and the Athens-Clarke Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to approve the massive Selig Enteprises development, which will change downtown forever.

capitol impact Handel Attacks Early The calendar tells us there are still several months remaining in 2013, but Karen Handel is acting as if 2014 were already here and we were in the middle of a full-bore Senate race.

Handel, one of the Republican contenders for the Senate seat Saxby Chambliss is vacating, went on the offensive last week against three of the male candidates opposing her in the GOP primary. She launched a website under the mocking title of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;? and said she would use the online venue to publicize 42 examples of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculous thingsâ&#x20AC;? that Jack Kingston, Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun have been part of during their careers in the U.S. House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are where we are in this country not just because of the Democrats, but also because of Republicans not having the will and the resolve and the courage to make hard decisions that needed to be made,â&#x20AC;? Handel contends.

Some of the things she is criticizing typically occur when you have a federal government that spends more than $3.5 trillion a year: the congressional barbershop that runs a deficit of $340,000 or the expenditure of $744,000 to build a soccer field for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. These items are chump change that Kingston, Gingrey and Broun could not have eliminated anyway, and even if they had, it would have made no real difference in solving the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal woes.

Handel is on firmer ground when she criticizes the congressional trio for not doing more to rein in the national debt, which was at the $4 trillion level when Kingston first entered Congress 20 years ago and is now approaching $17 trillion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only in Washington could that happen and absolutely nothing be done about it,â&#x20AC;?

Handel says.

Back in 2001 when Bill Clinton was turning over the White House to George W. Bush, the federal government was actually running

a modest budget surplus and was able to pay down at least a small portion of the national debt. That surplus disappeared quickly, and the national debt began climbing again largely because of two major initiatives undertaken

by Bush and a willing congressional majority: tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.

In criticizing her opponents for being part of a Congress that would enact such deficitballooning measures, she is definitely on the right track. It is noteworthy that Handel is already going negative on her opponents in a primary campaign that has a long way to go: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 10 months before election day.

She used the same approach in 2010 when she lambasted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boysâ&#x20AC;? network that runs state politics. One of the defining moments of the 2010 race occurred when Handel taunted Deal to put on â&#x20AC;&#x153;his big-boy pantsâ&#x20AC;? and get to work. That cutting remark backfired, making Handel appear a little too mean-spirited to many undecided voters. After leading in the first round of Republican primary voting, she lost a close runoff to Deal.

Why would Handel employ such a risky campaign strategy again? The recent disclosure reports filed with the Federal Election Commission provide the answer. As of June 30, Handel had raised just over $150,000 for her campaign bank account. By contrast, Gingrey had $2.56 million in available cash, Kingston had $2.35 million and even Broun, never an overly successful solicitor of contributions, had accumulated $401,000.

When you face that kind of disadvantage, you have to use the techniques that will attract free media coverage where the opposition can swamp you with attack ads.

Handel evidently believes that what failed her in 2010 could work in 2014. Maybe this time, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right.

Fuel for the Fire Can UGA Ever Get Beyond Coal?

O

ne by one, University of Georgia students and other Athens residents got up and explained why they think UGA should ditch its polluting coal-fired boiler on campus.

UGA is seeking to renew a permit for the boiler, and environmental activists are pressuring the administration to replace it with something cleaner, like natural gas, biomass, solar, geothermal or some combination.

At a public hearing Tuesday, July 30 at the Athens-Clarke County Library, members of Beyond Coal and the Sierra Club Student Coalition, two related student groups, asked the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to force UGA to set a timetable for replacing the coal boiler within the next five years, when the permit will be up for renewal again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just pressuring them to make this a top priority for the school,â&#x20AC;? said Laura Toulme, a Beyond Coal executive board member.

emissions significantly, especially acidic gases, said Anna Aponte, an EPD permitting engineer.

To put it in perspective, a coal-fired power plant puts out hundreds of times as much pollution as UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coal boiler, and all the cars in Athens combined are a much bigger culprit when it comes to local air quality.

also questioned whether anyone is testing pollution levels at the top floors of tall buildings on campus, where emission plumes can remain concentrated, rather than spreading out as they fall.

Administrators took Kemmerickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments to heart, said Kevin Kirsche, director of the

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Stake Unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite that simple.

EPD has no authority to force UGA to replace the boiler as long as it meets federal emissions standards (which it does) and no matter how unpopular it is, according to Eric Cornwell, the program manager for EPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stationary Source Permitting Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody wants clean air, but as far as the authority to force them to change, we do not have the authority,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The coal boiler is more than 50 years old, on its last legs and mainly operates during the winter, according to administrators. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of 12 UGA facilities that require an environmental permit to operate. The others are three incinerators for animal carcasses and medical waste, a repair shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint booth and seven newer boilers powered by natural gas.

The coal-fired boiler is classified as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;major sourceâ&#x20AC;? of pollution according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the single biggest source in Clarke County. According to testing done by a third party for UGA and EPD, the boiler emits 60 tons of poisonous carbon monoxide per year, 144 tons of smog-causing nitrogen oxide, 71 tons of particulate matter that causes heart and lung disease and 229 tons of sulfur dioxide, an ingredient in acid rain. A scrubber and baghouse installed several years ago reduced

Laura Toulme, David Littman (right) and other Beyond Coal members rally outside a Georgia Environmental Protection Division hearing at the Athens-Clarke County Library July 30.

Still, to Beyond Coal and Sierra Club members, the issue is symbolic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange UGA still has a coal boiler,â&#x20AC;? David Littman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colleges all over the world have alternative energy systems, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

And there may be other health effects beyond whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measured as part of the permit application. Dale Kemmerick, a retired EPD air pollution meteorologist who lives in Duluth, called the testing â&#x20AC;&#x153;incomplete.â&#x20AC;?

As a school, UGA should be held to a higher standard, Kemmerick said at the public hearing. For example, the coal boiler emits about 20 pounds of lead per yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a number that might have been higher before new technology was installedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so the soil surrounding it could contain 1,000 pounds of lead or more.

Yet testing the soil or the blood of people who work near the boiler for lead isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required. He

UGA Office of Sustainability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UGA has been very proactive in testing and ensuring compliance,â&#x20AC;? Kirsche said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since [those tests are] not required, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been done, but the general consensus is thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea and something we should look into.â&#x20AC;?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Next UGA administrators have given mixed signals about what they intend to replace the coal boiler withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something cleaner, or just another coal boiler.

Last August, a North Carolina State University study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy found several fuel alternatives, including timber scraps known as biomass. It called natural gas the best option.

Now-retired UGA President Michael Adams, though, threw cold water on alternative fuels in April, during one of his last press conferences. He said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to rely on natural gas as the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole source of heat and hot water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is against coal until all the lights and heat go out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to think these things through.â&#x20AC;?

Former Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Tim Burgess added that a biomass boiler would bring two dozen tractortrailers through campus each day, as opposed to the occasional coal-filled train, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much less dense in energy.

After the NC State study was released, UGA issued a request for proposals for consultants to drill down in more detail. Kirsche said last week that the university was close to signing a contract with Jacobs Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a ton of experience with innovative steam plant design and construction,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Assuming the contract is finalized, Jacobs will have six months to give UGA up to five options. Reliability and cost will be factors along with the environmental impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have a reliable system, and it has to be cost-effective,â&#x20AC;? Kirsche said.

There is no timetable for replacing the coal boiler, because there is no funding for it yet, and Adams pegged the price tag at $80 million to $120 million. But Kirsche called Beyond Coalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed five-year deadline feasible, if optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things always happen very slowly because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very significant infrastructure decision weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Much will depend on whether new President Jere Morehead puts his weight behind alternative fuels. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said anything publicly, but Toulme believes he will support them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely think President Adams was under a lot of political pressure,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard through various sources that President Morehead is open and sympathetic to environmental causes.â&#x20AC;?

This Injection May Not Be Lethal A Death Row Inmate Fights State Secrecy C

Georgia Department of Corrections

onvicted murderer Warren Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance to avoid execution now lies with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hill received a temporary stay of execution on July 15â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a few hours before he was scheduled to be put to deathâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when his lawyer filed a motion challenging a new Georgia law known as the Lethal Injection Secrecy Act. The law keeps the public, as well as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judiciary, from knowing where the drugs used in executions come from by classifying them as a state secret. Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Brian Kammer, argued that Hill has no way of knowing if the chemicals are contaminated or will even work, so they could violate Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment.

Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution was rescheduled for July 19, the day after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Gail Tusan was to rule on the motion.

Larry Sasich, a doctor who testified for Hill, said during a hearing that he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;bet his lifeâ&#x20AC;? that the drug was not compounded with acceptable U.S. standards, and there was a great possibility of cross-contamination, putting Hill at risk of Warren Hill the drugs not working effectively.

The state offered up Jacqueline Martin, deputy chief medical examiner for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, to refute these claims. She said that, even if the plaintiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims were true and the drugs were contaminated, Hill would not feel any pain.

However, Judge Tusan indefinitely extended Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay of execution on July 18 and ruled that the new secrecy act was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconstitutionally broad.â&#x20AC;?

Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death warrant expired before the state could file its appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even necessarily about pentobarbital; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about where the ingredients are coming from,â&#x20AC;? Kammer said after the ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we were prevented from knowing exactly what compounding pharmacy is manufacturing the drug, where the active ingredients were manufactured, we were basically in the dark and disarmed in terms of

making out a claim for relief under the Eighth Amendment.â&#x20AC;?

Knowing only that the drugs are coming from an out-of-state pharmacy without knowing where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from â&#x20AC;&#x153;does not inspire confidenceâ&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most laws that classify certain information as a state secret allow for declassification and for judicial scrutiny of that information to decide whether, in certain circumstance, it can be disclosed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What [the judge] is saying is that these claims deserve time to think about more, to have, perhaps, some more argument or briefing.â&#x20AC;?

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal of Judge Tusanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rulingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;filed with the Georgia Supreme Court on July 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201D;will do just that. The drugs the state obtained from anonymous out-of-state compounding pharmacies to use in Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution will expire in early August, according to Kammer. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is likely that the state will issue a new death warrant before his pending appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to admit new evidence of Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental retardation in evidence, which is on the docket for Sept. 30.

Hill, who was serving a life sentence for killing his girlfriend, ended up on death row for the murder of a fellow inmate in 1990. At the time of his conviction, three state psychologists who examined Hill all said he did not meet the requirement for mental retardation. All three have since recanted.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that it was unconstitutional for states to execute the mentally retarded.

The state Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal also notes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State does not yet know if, and where, it will acquire the next supply of pentobarbital for use in this execution. Thus, the State must secure another execution order from the sentencing court and obtain a new supply of pentobarbital in order to reschedule Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution. Hill is under no threat of immediate execution.â&#x20AC;?

One year, four stays of execution July 23, 2012â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Warren Hill is given a stay of execution by the U.S. Supreme Court hours before his execution after attorney Brian Kammer argues that Georgia violated state law by not following proper protocol and switching the drugs it uses for lethal injections.

Feb. 19, 2013â&#x20AC;&#x201D;A federal appeals court puts a stop to Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution moments before he was set to be killed after all three state psychologists who had previously examined Hill recanted their claims that he was not mentally disabled.

July 15, 2013â&#x20AC;&#x201D;A Fulton County judge grants a temporary stay. The Georgia Department of Corrections reschedules Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution for 7 p.m. July 19.

July 18, 2013â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Hill is granted an indefinite stay of execution after Judge Gail Tusan rules that the Lethal Injection Secrecy Act is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconstitutionally broad.â&#x20AC;?

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

• indicates new review • 2 GUNS (R) After a summer of superheroes, giant robots and giant-er special FX, these two guns loaded with humor-piercing banter, accurately shot by two dead-eyes like Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, are a welcome change of pace. DEA Agent Bobby “Beans” Trench and Navy Intelligence Officer Michael “Stig” Stigman are two unlikely partners. Both believe the other to be a law breaker.

When they unwittingly steal $43.125 million from a shadowy organization, represented by Earl (Bill Paxton), they must trust one another again to clear both their names. 2 Guns is loaded and hits the bull’s eye with every shot.

20 FEET FROM STARDOM (PG-13) Award winning filmmaker Morgan Neville shines a light on the backup singers that made some of the greatest musical icons of the 20th century sound so good. Interviewees include Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Sheryl Crow and Bette Midler. (Ciné) BEFORE MIDNIGHT (R) Jesse and Celine (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) have come a long ways from 1995’s Before Sunrise. Our third glimpse into Jesse and Celine’s lives paints a realistic landscape of adult relationships founded upon love. Many viewing pairs will see themselves, arguing and rearguing their own alternatingly petty and weighty complaints. (Ciné) BREATHLESS 1960. Ciné continues its Summer Classic Movie Series with the French New Wave hit that made Jean-Luc Godard a worldwide sensation and uncrowned Citizen Kane as many a critic’s best film ever. Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg star as a low-rent French criminal and his American girlfriend. UGA Film Studies Professor Richard Neupert will provide the introduction. (Ciné) THE CONJURING (R) Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) investigate the things that go bump in the night. Most times, a rational explanation solves the case; sometimes, it’s something paranormal.

The occurrences in the Perron family’s new house are not just paranormal; they’re malevolent. James Wan (Saw, Insidious) stages the Perron’s haunting with utmost care. From the font in the opening credits, the film harkens back to the ‘70s and places itself not as a wannabe, but as a peer next to such

modern classics as The Amityville Horror and (dare I type it) The Exorcist.

DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG) When a new super villain steals a dangerous, experimental serum, the Anti Villain League enlists former master criminal Gru’s (v.

Steve Carell) assistance. Despicable Me 2 has no shot at surpassing expectations like its underdog predecessor, and its appeal to anyone over ten probably depends on one’s tolerance for the Minions, whose roles have been enlarged with their own spinoff in the works for 2014. k ELYSIUM Matt Damon stars as a factory worker who is bonded with an exoskeleton so he can sneak onto the manmade space habitat housing humanity’s remaining rich and famous.

Jodie Foster is the government official keeping the regular folk on icky old Earth. All the toys in Director Neil Blomkamp’s badass universes look like prototypes from his aborted Halo movie, which will hopefully someday get a new green light.

EPIC (PG) Unbeknownst to humanity, the forests are protected by the Leafmen, who constantly do battle with the Boggans, led by Mandrake (v. Christoph Waltz). When M.K. (v.

Amanda Seyfried) is magically transported to their world, she must ensure the survival of the forest. The movie, based on William Joyce’s book, The Leafmen, does far too little to avoid Star Wars comparisons; it practically invites them. See bird racing (pod racing) and the two slugs who give off a distinct R2D2/C3PO sidekick vibe.

FAST & FURIOUS 6 (PG-13) Furious 6 puts Dominic “Dom” Toretta (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and the rest on the heels of big bad Shaw (Luke Evans), as they seek to recover Letty (Michele Rodriguez) and attain pardons all around from Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).

FRUITVALE STATION (R) Fruitvale Station enters theaters having established quite a pedigree, picking up Sundance’s prestigious Grand Jury Prize (and Audience Award) plus the Best First Film Award at Cannes.

Writer-director Ryan Coogler based his feature debut on the real life events that occurred to Oscar Grant, played by “Friday Night Lights”’ Michael B. Jordan, on the last day of 2008.

(Kristen Wiig) resorts to faking a suicide attempt to get her ex’s attention. As a result, Imogene is placed in the care of her gambling addict mother, Zelda (Annette Bening). Imogene’s childhood house is already pretty full, what with her mother’s compulsive liar boyfriend (Matt Dillon), Imogene’s reclusive brother (Christopher Fitzgerald) and a young singing stranger (Darren Criss) now sleeping in her old bedroom.

Girl Most Likely is populated with characters far too cartoonishly quirky to generate more than a chuckle. Wiig shouldn’t have hurt her rising stardom too much; she just didn’t help it.

THE GREAT GATSBY (PG-13) A creative, stylistic tour de force, the film starts off kinetic to the point of claustrophobia. The constant moving and zooming camera and non-stop edits choke the air out of the first act.

The film doesn’t stop its constant

doomed the flight, leaving the pilots and crew to attempt everything in their power to make their passengers last moments as pleasant as possible. Don’t be surprised when Almodovar muses Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz pop by. (Ciné) THE INTERNSHIP (PG-13) As a follow-up to stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson’s Wedding Crashers, this movie would have killed in 2007.

Of course, the economy hadn’t quite tanked at that point, so the tale of two down-on-their-luck salesmen forced to tackle a Google internship wouldn’t quite have had much relevance. The movie made me feel as if I’d stumbled upon a big budget training video for new Google employees. Sadly, most training videos are unintentionally funnier. Do with this movie what the movie folks at Google should have done: say no.

Yep. It’s a deer tick.

Charlestoning until Nick Carroway (Tobey Maguire) meets reclusive millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) at one of the latter’s renowned parties. Baz Luhrmann’s always favored style over substance, and the Roaring ‘20s are a great place to indulge his whims.

GROWN UPS 2 (PG-13) With nary a grown-up in it, this sequel to Adam Sandler’s second biggest box office hit of all time is worse than its subpar predecessor. 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.

THE HEAT (R) Uptight FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) needs the help of foulmouthed, unpopular Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to take down a dangerous drug lord. Bullock and McCarthy don’t have Fey/Pohler chemistry.

Nevertheless, enough cannot be said about how refreshing it is to watch a buddy cop comedy starring two women. The Heat may not be smoking, but after a barren first act, it’s pretty darn funny.

I’M SO EXCITED (R) Almodovar is back! The trailer for I’m So Excited doesn’t explain much, but it certainly is Almodovarian. Three flight attendants lip sync and dance to The Pointer Sisters’ titular hit, and that’s about it. Apparently, a technical failure has

KEVIN HART: LET ME EXPLAIN (R) Kevin Hart is one of the more entertaining and, more importantly, least disappointing stand-up comics turned actor.

If you missed his return to the stage for the 2012 “Let Me Explain” world tour, you can now catch his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in this concert film which may or may not have been directed by the Tim Story of Fantastic Four and Barbershop fame.

LOVELACE (R) Amanda Seyfried stars as the titular porn star, whose turn in the infamous Deep Throat made her a household name. The rest of the impressive cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Juno Temple, Adam Brody, Hank Azaria and James Franco as Hugh Hefner! Two-time Oscar winner Rob Epstein and his documentary directing partner Thomas Friedman must have decided they liked fictional features after helming Howl with Franco. (Ciné) MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) Monsters University lacks the Pixar pop of their undeniably great features (Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3). In this prequel to Monsters, Inc., we learn how Mike (v. Billy Crystal) and Sully (v. John Goodman) met. Apparently, the two scarers didn’t start as best buds. First, they were scaring rivals at Monsters University. This Revenge of the Monster Nerds doesn’t creatively bend college life for monsters as one would expect. Fortunately, the animation, especially the creature design, is as lush and lifelike as ever.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (PG-13) Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker wittily bicker as Benedick and Beatrice, the pair of lovers who cannot stand one another. Decide for yourself which is more lush, the gorgeous

black and white cinematography or the Elizabethan language. Joss Whedon plus Shakespeare is a match made in heaven. Prithee, do thine own self a favor and get thy butt to Ciné before the party’s over. (Ciné) MUD (PG-13) A coming of age tale set in the disappearing wilds of the small town south, Mud aims high, as Nichols attempts to channel Mark Twain, and hits the target square in the bull’s eye.

Two teens—Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland)—discover a boat in a tree. They also discover Matthew McConaughey’s Mud, a fugitive living in the boat in the tree, while he waits to escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Mud watches like a work of modern literature, capturing the last gasps of a dying culture as one boy becomes a man.

PACIFIC RIM (PG-13) A portal to another dimension opens in the Pacific, unleashing giant monsters called Kaiju on humanity, who builds giant robots called Jaegers to counter them. Years into a losing war, the Jaeger program leader, Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), takes one last chance, sending the last surviving robots and pilots to close the portal for good. The most wellrealized blockbuster of its kind, Pacific Rim delivers the childlike robot action missing from all three misguided Transformers flicks. Writer-director Guillermo del Toro’s smartest move was leaving the snark and the cynicism to lesser movies.

PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) The not terrible but certainly underwhelming Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief finally gets a sequel, and the most exciting thing about it isn’t an excuse to ogle Alexandra Daddario. This time it’s Nathan Fillion, as Hermes in a suit.

“Buffy”’s Anthony (Stewart) Head replacing Pierce Brosnan doesn’t bother me a bit either. Percy and pals’ newest adventure has them seeking the Golden Fleece to save Camp HalfBlood. Diary of a Wimpy Kid’s Thor Freudenthal directs.

PLANES (PG) Remember Disney owns Pixar, and the House of Mouse is solely responsible for this expansion of the Cars universe that pleases kids as much as it bores adults. Dusty (voiced

by Dane Cook, another slap in the Pixar face), a crop duster, dreams of competing in an aerial race. Unfortunately, he’s afraid of heights. Waa-waa. The trailer should depress any adult that knows a screening is in their near future. Will it be worse than Cars 2?

RED 2 (PG-13) Retired Extremely Dangerous CIA operative Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is trying to live a quiet life with his girlfriend, Sarah (MaryLouise Parker). But then his paranoid pal, Martin (John Malkovich), shows up, and another caper begins. This time, the boys (and girl) are being hunted by everyone, including an old pal, Victoria Winters (Helen Mirren), and an old enemy, Han Cho Bai (Byung-hun Lee). The quips fly as fast as the bullets. Red 2 won’t set the world on fire, but if your old 80s action VHS tapes have worn thin, this new movie will fit the bill quite nicely.

R.I.P.D. (PG-13) Summer’s biggest bomb absolutely deserves its box office failure. This misguided adaptation of Peter M. Lenkov’s comic, Rest in Peace Department, stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as deceased cops—former

Boston PD detective Nick Walker and Old West lawman Roy Pulsipher— tasked with bringing in rogue spirits.

If you think this flick is a Men in Black rip off, it pretty much is.

• THE SMURFS 2 (PG) Even the Smurfs seem less “smurfed” up about their sequel. Gargamel (Hank Azaria, still ruining a great cartoon villain) creates some fake Smurfs—he calls them Naughties. Vexy (v. Christina Ricci) and Hackus (v. J.B. Smoove) are an un-Smurf-like gray, so Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette (v. Katy Perry), who holds the secret to turning the Naughties blue. Sadly, Smurfette is an easier target than usual as the birthday girl feels forgotten by Papa Smurf (v. the late Jonathan Winters) and the rest of her blue brethren. (She’s the only girl; no blue-blooded Smurf ever forgets Smurfette.) Maybe the kids will be entertained again, but the illogical trip to Paris, where Gargamel has become a big celebrity magician, will flummox adults. Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays and franchise newbie Brendan Gleeson don’t add that much to the movie. Kudos to the voice work by Anton Yelchin, Winters and “The Daily Show”’s John Oliver.

THE TO DO LIST (R) I really want this teen comedy to be good, mostly so that Aubrey Plaza can become a bigger star, a la Emma Stone in Easy A. Before heading off to college, a sexually inexperienced, straight A student (Plaza) makes a to do list of experiences she needs to have before setting foot on campus. Maggie Carey, a “Funny or Die Presents…” alum, directs from her own screenplay.

TURBO (PG) After a first act highlighted by endearing animation and stellar voice work from Ryan Reynolds and Paul Giamatti, Turbo gets stupid, as the main mollusk is imbued with the abilities of a car (not just speed but alarm, radio and headlights) after a freak accident involving a street racer and some nitrous. Turbo and his other racing snail pals—including Whiplash (v. Samuel L. Jackson) and Smoove Move (v. Snoop Dogg)—head to the Indy 500, where they will face off against defending champion and the world’s greatest racecar driver, Guy Gagne (v. Bill Hader). Turbo will mostly appeal to those kiddies for whom Cars has run out of gas. I never imagined animated snails could be so appealing.

THE WAY, WAY BACK (PG-13) This coming of age comedy stars Liam James as Duncan, who negotiates a summer with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Steve Carell) by getting a job at a local water park, where he is befriended by its odd owner (Sam Rockwell). This Sundance favorite looks appealing enough to be summer’s indie breakout hit.

WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter (Son of Rambow’s Lee Carter) star as a fake family being paid $100,000 to bring a load of pot across the Mexican border.

Director Rawson Marshall Thurber made us want to play Dodgeball, but his Mysteries of Pittsburgh remains largely unsolved.

THE WOLVERINE (PG-13) A darker, more complicated hero than Marvel’s Iron Man and Spider-Man, Wolvie poses a narrative difficulty, much like The Punisher. The Wolverine comes closest to nailing this popular, mysterious icon. After the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan has shed his Wolverine persona to live a solitary life in the woods. However, the last request of a dying friend whisks the clawed one off to Japan. Director James Mangold and writers Mark Bomback and Scott Frank chose smartly in adapting Frank Miller and Chris Claremont’s seminal 1982 limited series.

Drew Wheeler

movie pick Just a Shot Away TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM (2013) Their names will be unfamiliar to most of us, but their voices will trigger memories of love lost and found, of songs that have become part of the cultural fabric of our country. But the women profiled in Morgan Nevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest music documentary, Twenty Feet from Stardom, were not performers who took center stage.

Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer and others stood in the shadows of bigger stars performing as backup singers.

Music documentariesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with some major exceptionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tend to be pedestrian affairs.

They chart the rise and fall and hopefully fiery rebirth of the performerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, offering up tantalizing gossip and anecdotes along the way, as well as plenty Jo Lawry, Judith Hill, of memorable live performance clips. What Neville has a knack for is how he conveys intimacy with his subjects, some of whom are larger-than-life people like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and Sam Phillips.

His subjects and the people who were influenced by themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger and Sting in this movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;remain vulnerably human regardless of how exceptionally talented they are.

The women focused on in this movie also happen to be African American, a significant detail considering that backup singers were

primarily white up until the rise of Motown in the 1960s. The center of the movie is Love and her contentious relationship with the troubled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wall of Soundâ&#x20AC;? genius/madman, producer Phil Spector. Love was a member of the girl group The Blossoms and rose to relative fame singing backup for Sam Cooke and others. In his interview, Springsteen glowingly talks about his appreciation for her vocal skills, enthusiastically admitting that it was her voice that artists like him were always trying to capture in their own songs.

Unfortunately, Spector also sidelined her career by holding her contractually hostage working for him. Love never reached the heights of stardom as, say, Diana Ross, but her work nevertheless and Lisa Fischer stands on its own.

Another great focus here is the career of Clayton, who most notably sang backup on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gimme Shelterâ&#x20AC;? but also got her start singing for Ray Charles. That neither Love nor Clayton achieved solo success reminds us of how unfair the business can be.

Twenty Feet from Stardom has its fair share of heartbreak and disappointment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a showbiz documentary after all. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an uplifting tribute to these great performers and one of the better music documentaries in years.

In Search of the Perfect Loaf

Artisanal Bakers Share a Passion for Bread For

C.J. Bartunek

Richard Saunders, bread-making is both an art and famous bakers. He learned to work with starter cultures native to each grain and explored new ingredients. and a science.

The quest for bread perfection is a collaborative project of Every Thursday and Friday during the bakers around the world. When Saunders was learning his craft, farmers-market season, he presides over the kitchen built onto he found other artisans more than willing to share their knowlthe back of his house. He and his assistant, Austin Heykoop, edge with him. mix, proof and shape the loaves of naturally leavened artiAround the time he was interested in building a woodsanal bread that he will sell on Saturday, entering data into fired oven, he visited his daughter in Vermont, where she the grid on a giant whiteboard on the back wall to make sure was attending college, and a worker at the local food co-op that each batch enters the wood-burning retained-heat oven directed him to a professional baker in New Hampshire who at the proper time, in order to maximize the deliciousness and lived in an idyllic enclave of organic farmers and food artisans. appearance of his breads and pastries.

That baker shared some tips, introduced Saunders to another Cooking with this kind of oven requires precision. After baker in Freeport, ME, who had the specific kind of oven that Saunders fires it up each Thursday, it builds up heat over a interested Saunders and invited Saunders to come back for a long period. The loaves will be baked as it gradually cools, so the order they go in is important.

“Imagine a graph of heat and time,” Saunders says as he explains the process, which bakers call “managing the curve.” He begins baking when the oven is around 550 degrees, starting with light and open breads like the semolina and working his way toward the loaves with seeds, nuts or fruits.

By Sunday, the oven will be down to 350 degrees, and by the next Thursday it will still be at 180 degrees when he fires it up again.

“I know I’m a long way from making the perfect loaf of bread,” Saunders says. “Sometimes they come out really good, sometimes they’re horrible. This is all part of the art.

There’s a science to all this, but there’s also all this art, in terms of what does the bread look like, feel like, how is it rising. Every day you have all of these variables in terms of humidity and temperature and heat of the oven: is the oven 20 degrees too hot, 20 degrees too cold, or is it the perfect temperature, or did I get distracted talking and leave the bread in too long? There are all sorts of pitfalls possible.”

Richard Saunders (left) gets ready to bake with assistant Austin Keyhoop.

Miche, Saunders’ business (“miche” is French “country bread” or sourvisit. In the winter of 2009, Saunders returned to New England dough), has become an Athens Farmers Market favorite since he began participating in 2010. (He is skipping the market this for a week and baked with both men.

“Virtually everybody in this activity is incredibly generous weekend to attend a family reunion, but Miche will be back on of time and knowledge,” Saunders says. “Any recipe I wanted Aug. 17.) from him, any information he could give me, he was perfectly “Miche bread is a special treat,” says Dylan Payne of Cedar willing to give. There are no secrets. So I don’t have secrets Grove Farm, who often makes a point to pick up a loaf of either.”

Saunders’ “super seeded” bread during a free moment between helping his own customers. “The time he spends baking, the ingredients he uses, and his methods all result in a highquality product.”

Passing It On

From COSMIC to the Kitchen Baking is a departure from Saunders’ previous work.

Before retiring in 2008, Saunders worked for the University of Georgia selling NASA-developed software through COSMIC, the Computer Software Management and Information Center. Many of his jobs have reflected his love of science and nature. He holds a master’s degree from UGA in plant protection, which combined entomology, plant pathology and horticulture. He has taught math on the college level and briefly worked as a ninth-grade science teacher. He and his wife, Carol Myers, met in Arizona in the early 1980s while working in Arcosanti, an experimental town in the desert dedicated to exploring environmentally-sound architectural and city planning practices.

Baking has afforded Saunders plenty of opportunity for scientific inquiry. When he became interested in making naturally leavened bread a few years ago, the problem of breaking down the precise steps to achieve the perfect loaf led to a research program. Saunders immersed himself in books by food chemists

In fact, Saunders’ success in his own baking endeavors allowed him to pay forward some of his expertise to another scientifically-minded baker in the area. His former assistant, Angel Cooper—now proprietor of her own artisanal bakery, The Comerian—hadn’t planned on a career in croissants. She holds a degree from UGA in cognitive science with a minor in math but found it difficult after graduation to find a job in Athens that would utilize these skills. As a hobby, she began selling pastries at the Comer farmers market while she considered her next move, since she loved to cook and bake.

Saunders and Myers attended a birthday party Cooper threw for her partner, Uwe Happek, who is a physics professor at UGA. For the brunch, Cooper decided to try her hand at croissants for the first time. Though croissants are difficult to make, they were a hit with her guests, and Saunders asked Cooper if she’d be interested in working as his assistant.

Cooper worked with Saunders for a year and sold her pastries alongside his bread. As she and Saunders both increased their production and sales, they contemplated whether a double tent would be more appropriate, since they were

outgrowing their space. But Cooper decided that she was ready to make the leap to a career of baking.

Her scientific background is not irrelevant to her work. “It’s very important to have an analytical mind if you want to be a baker,” she says. “It seems to be very common.”

Cooper works out of the kitchen in an old restaurant building in Comer, which she and Happek are renovating to become a bakery. Though the bakery isn’t ready yet as a retail space, customers in Comer often drop by to place orders and chat.

Cooper makes all kinds of pastries, cakes and breads, but she is perhaps most famous for her croissants. Croissantmaking is a delicate art. The dough is mixed on Thursday and chilled until the next day. On Friday, she makes butter blocks and undertakes a complicated sequence of folding before chilling the dough again and rolling it into a long sheet. Then she wakes up at 2 a.m. on Saturdays to begin baking the croissants for the market.

That schedule may sound extreme, but Cooper feels the sleepless nights are justified by the loveliness of a freshly baked croissant. “People really get it. It makes it worth it to me.”

Like Saunders, Cooper is meticulous about her ingredients. Everything used in her pastries is organic. “It’s hard to make an organic sticky bun,” she says, but farmers market patrons have responded enthusiastically. “They might not have the time to grow their own food or make their own croissants, but they know that if they were to do it themselves, this is what it would be.”

The Bread Boom Bread is becoming something of a specialty in Athens, a town full of artisans of all stripes. In addition to Miche and The Comerian, patrons of the Athens Farmers Market can also enjoy Backyard Bread. Beyond that, there’s also Luna Bread and Big City Bread.

Within the next few weeks, Athenians will have another option for artisanal pastries and European-style crusty breads when the Independent Baking Co. opens in Five Points.

Like Saunders and Cooper, owner Thom Leonard did not set out to be a baker. But in his case, bread has been his occupation for much of his adult life.

In 1971, while majoring in anthropology at Fairhaven College in Washington state, he took an elective in “the science of cottage industries,” which explored various homestead arts. A neighbor in his building baked bread every Thursday.

Leonard decided to try it himself for a class project, and he became fascinated. After that, he worked in bakeries for several years and later owned his own bakery, WheatFields, in Lawrence, KS, which was included on a USA Today list of the top 10 U.S. artisinal bakeries. One of Leonard’s recipes was featured in the book Artisan Baking Across America by Maggie Glezer.

Many of the Independent Baking Co.’s ingredients will be organic. Leonard also plans to use some heirloom varieties of wheat and hopes to move toward relying on local wheat. He hopes to explore the possibility of using green energy to power his equipment, as well.

While the field is becoming more crowded, Saunders’ description of the warmth of the baking community rings true.

Cooper, Saunders and Leonard now order their organic flour together, and their passion for baking is a basis for friendship.

“We’re more colleagues than competitors,” Leonard says.

With all the delicious options available around Athens, locally made bread is surely worth your hard-earned dough.

Drunk Eats

Let Flagpole’s Food Writer Be Your Late-Night Spirit Guide

M

uch as we continue to grow in other ways, the T-shirt that reads “Athens, GA: A Drinking Town with a Football Problem” is not inaccurate. Even if you choose not to imbibe, if you’re young and you like to go out and socialize or see music, you’re going to end up with a lot of late nights downtown. No matter how much people complain about shows starting too late, it’s not a very solvable problem.

That said, the saying “nothing good happens after midnight” doesn’t have to apply to food. I’m not saying I’ve never been to Krystal or Taco Bell at 2:30 a.m., digging through the change drawer in my car to scrape up enough for a snack, but my function here is to point you to some better options.

There are many chains and franchises that do late-night eats—foremost among them Waffle House, which even has a branch downtown—but they’re less interesting to talk about.

This list is by no means comprehensive, but it does seek to be catholic in its tastes and point you, perhaps, to some more exciting options than McDonald’s.

Once upon a time, there was a perfect solution at the very end of the night, and its name was J.B. the Original Polish Sausage Man. Set up directly outside of the 40 Watt Club, he grilled his sausages, stuffed them into a soft bun, topped them copiously with sautéed peppers and onions, plus yellow mustard and the infamous “comeback sauce” (a salty-sweet-spicy-sour combo punch) and handed them over with a fair bit of banter.

But the restrictions on food trucks are tough, so a J.B. sighting is much rarer these days. Now, you have to cast your net wider to find the perfect comestibles to soak up a few too many PBR tallboys. Still, the offerings have improved and expanded.

The best late-night meal is clearly still a fried-egg sandwich on well-toasted bread with grain mustard and some sharp cheddar, made by you in your own kitchen, but the following are some decent substitutes. (See flagpole.com for some reader-submitted photos of local folks’ late-night eats.)

Classics

sets up at Max Thursday through Saturday nights from 9 p.m. until at least 2 a.m., as well as at Terrapin Beer Co. in the late afternoon. Chef/owner Ryan Morgan likes to play with cross-cultural flavors, cooking up Korean BBQ tacos, a Koreanaccented deep-fried hot dog (topped with pickled cucumbers and radish), takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings) and lovely little pork sliders with chipotle sauce. His menu is often in flux, depending on his current interests. Facebook is the best way to keep up with his whereabouts and specials (facebook. com/streetscafe).

The World Famous David Eduardo and Bain Mattox’s tiny music venue/drinkery also features a muscular menu of gourmet bar food served until 2 a.m. by Jarad Blanton, whose cherubic, bearded face can be seen through the little window that looks into the kitchen. The waffle iron is broken too often for

The Grill Open 24 hours, since 1981, The Grill is not only great for burgers, fries (with feta dressing) and shakes late at night, when even other late-night eateries have closed, but also a fine option for vegetarians who want to go beyond pizza, with veggie burgers and a great grilled cheese on multigrain bread with honey mustard and sprouts. Starting at midnight, you can also order from the breakfast menu. The Grill’s staff has seen it all. Someone should really write a book. 171 College Ave., 706-543-4770 Taco Stand This list is short on Mexican eats, and although Taco Stand is in no way authentic anything (other than authentically Athens), who wouldn’t want to eat a Herschel Burrito (BBQ pork, black beans, jalapeño coleslaw) or opt for the fantastic simplicity of T-Stand’s basic cheese quesadillas with peppers and onions? 247 E. Broad St., 706-549-1446

Something Different Streets Cafe The only food truck currently working downtown Athens that attempts anything beyond hot dogs, Streets

The Rooftop at the Georgia Theatre Run by the folks downstairs at The Branded Butcher, the Georgia Theatre’s rooftop has fantastic views, a lovely, almost beachy atmosphere and a great little kitchen doing creative eats until relatively late (hours vary). You don’t have to have a ticket to the show downstairs to participate in the fun up top, or to eat Matt Palmerlee’s awesome deviled eggs with sriracha, veggie banh mi or charcuterie platter (usually a couple of nice cheeses, salami, housemade jam, olives and bread). Looking for more traditional drunk food? They also make a nice little burger, a chili cheese and slaw dog, pork or tofu tacos, cheese fries and a BBQ sandwich. Yum. 215 N. Lumpkin St., 706-850-7670

Sweets Always Baked Our local late-night cookie delivery service/retail store is about to get some competition from a cookie franchise opening nearby, but the local joint’s offerings—with Georgia music-inspired names like the “Almond Brothers” and the “SpotieOttieDopedelicious”—really hit the spot if you’re jonesing for sweets past midnight. (They’re open until 2:30 a.m. or later on the weekend.) Plus, the owners give all profits to charity. 268 N. Jackson St., 706850-5478

Little Italy Little Italy is a classic for a reason. Its NYC-style slices and gigantic sandwiches are available until as late as 3 a.m. It’s fast, cheap and consistent, a perennial favorite for sobering up at the end of the night—not to mention you could theoretically come home with leftovers for the next morning.

Its no-nonsense staff does a great job keeping unruly customers in line (literally). 125 N. Lumpkin St., 706-613-7100

of leftovers (a large bowl of rice topped with veggies, grilled meat, fried egg, etc.)? Korean pancakes, bulgogi (BBQ beef), jobchae (sweet potato noodles with meat and veggies) and more await those with interesting tastes. It’s open until 3 a.m.

Thursday through Saturday. 131 E. Broad St., Suite A, 706548-7441

my liking, but when it’s not, you can get a marvelous chickenand-waffle sandwich with bourbon-maple butter and homemade hot sauce. The pork steamed buns might be the single best late-night option on this list: sort of like soft, thick little tacos, they enfold a small pile of shredded slow-cooked pork, hoisin, excellent red miso pickles and sweet chili mayo. The poutine (French-Canadian cheese fries with gravy) is equally delicious as a gut-bomb. 351 N. Hull St., 706-543-4002 Lay-Z Shopper Downtown Athens’ sole bodega, Lay-Z Shopper offers a full array of convenience store food until 4 a.m., plus smokes, poker chips, nonalcoholic drinks and awesome made-to-order deli sandwiches. Boar’s Head meats and cheese are sliced on the spot and assembled into well-balanced creations that can seem healthy in comparison to most other options at that hour. 361 E. Clayton St., 706-356-1115 Dawg Gone Good BBQ Open until 2 a.m. Thursdays and 3 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, this tiny space across from Little Kings Shuffle Club attracts a sizable crowd for its ribs, pork, chicken and sausages with classic sides including mac and cheese, potato salad, yams and slaw. If you want a meal, not just a helping of fat and salt, Dawg Gone Good is your place.

224 W. Hancock Ave., 706-613-9799 Eat Hibachi Despite seeming merely like a place to get a boring rice bowl (which you certainly can order), Eat Hibachi also is Athens’ only Korean restaurant. Why not be adventurous and go get a big bowl of steaming-hot kimchi soup after a night out? Or bibimbap, the Korean method of getting rid

Pauley’s More than just a daytime crêperie, Pauley’s has built a following through remaining open until 2 or 3 a.m. most nights, with a big selection of beer. If you want to pretend to sophistication, you can go for the crêpes, either building your own or picking a predefined combination of ingredients both savory and sweet. Slices of Cecilia cakes are available as well, should your tastes run to sugar rather than salt. 134 E. Clayton St., 706-549-0034

Off the Beaten Path Pulaski Heights BBQ It’s not exactly downtown, and it’s not exactly the wee small hours of the morning, but those who define late-night a little earlier shouldn’t miss the $5 deal Chuck Ramsey’s restaurant runs. From 10 p.m. until he runs out, you can get a BBQ pork sandwich and a Miller High Life for that minute amount. Plus, the bar is open until at least 11 p.m. 675 Pulaski St., 706-583-9600 Inoko Sushi Express This branch of Inoko is out on the Eastside, in the Kroger shopping center, but it’s a hidden resource if you want late-night sushi. Fast and cheap but clean and well-executed, its offerings aren’t super high-end, but they’re a great choice for something different, especially if you’re in the area. Open until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. 2301 College Station Rd., 706-546-5662 The Varsity It’s a bit of a hike from downtown, but there’s something charming about the Atlanta-based home of “What’llyou-have?” and not just during football season. Chili dogs, slaw dogs, onion rings and a Frosted Orange could be a perfect way to round out your night. The Varsity is open ‘til midnight Friday and Saturday. 1000 W.

Q&A with James Ponsoldt

The Director of The Spectacular Now Brings His Film Home

T

he Spectacular Now, which opened Friday in L.A. and New York, is Athens native James Ponsoldt’s third feature-length film, following 2006’s Off the Black and last year’s Smashed, but it’s by far his most personal. Set in Ponsoldt’s hometown, and shot here last summer, the movie documents a budding high-school relationship. But it’s no breezy teen rom-com, having already earned rave reviews from The New Yorker, Slate, New York and practically every other outlet in the land.

Ponsoldt admits to an intense autobiographical connection with the story, and tells Flagpole that shooting in Athens was “a dream that I’d had since I was a teenager.” Read below the rest of our conversation with the director, who hosted two sold-out screenings of The Spectacular Now as fundraisers for Ciné on Tuesday, Aug. 6. A longer version of this interview is online at flagpole.com.

Flagpole: Congratulations on all the great feedback. Can you tell us what it was specifically that drew you to Tim Tharpe’s book? Also, were there any other coming-of-age books or films that you leaned on while making The Spectacular Now? James Ponsoldt: What really drew me to the material was, it was one of the most honest depictions of adolescent life I’d ever read in my life. It reminded me a lot of my own adolescence, growing up in Athens. Sutter, the main character, and some of the secondary characters, reminded me of myself at that point of my life, and some of the people I knew. It resonated with me on a very personal level. Every film I make, I want to make it as hyper-personal and specific as possible. It was really important to me to bring it to Athens and shoot at a lot of the places where I’d grown up.

As far as the second part, I really love Last Picture Show, I really love Splendor in the Grass, I really love 400 Blows. I really love Say Anything, but I also really love Manhattan, and A Woman Under the Influence and Minnie and Moskowitz, which are two John Cassavettes movies. Punch-Drunk Love. There were a lot of films that were frames of reference.

FP: Your last two films have explored the subject of alcoholism, but through different lenses. Was that an accident, or was there something that drew you to that theme?

JP: In the case of The Spectacular Now, I never really thought of the movie as being about alcoholism. Some people have written about it, and thought about it as such, but it’s not that. It’s a portrait of a complicated young man, and it’s a love story about two complicated people. The kid drinks, but he drinks a hell of a lot less than most of the people I grew up with in Athens. I think it’s part of who Sutter is. The story never names it as alcoholism, never comments on it, never judges it. I think some people project that on it—and I think our understanding of the character shifts a bit as you get to know him.

FP: Tell us a little bit about the experience of filming in Athens, on a personal level and on a wider scale.

JP: Shooting a movie in Athens was a dream that I’d had since I was a teenager. With The Spectacular Now, the story seemed so perfect for Athens. I worked hard to sort of sell the people around me on the idea of going to Athens. Athens is where I was born; it’s where I was raised; it’s where my parents

TAX EXEMPT WEEKEND ★ AUGUST 9-10 INCLUDES ALL CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLIES & MORE!

(3,)+ ,b1 " 3%&2#0b1 0-2&#0 still live. In every nook and cranny of Athens, I have some memory. My dad taught at the University for over 30 years, so I grew up in and around the UGA campus.

It really is a film that showcases Athens on a very local level, and not a very touristy way. Every now and then, people come through and do something about music in Athens, and they show the R.E.M. steeple, or they show the railroad trestle, or the arch. But that wasn’t what I was interested in. The main characters are still in high school—they’re not 21, they don’t have fake IDs yet. More importantly, it’s not that they proactively decided to move to Athens because of the music scene, or for college. They just happened to grow up there. In some people’s eyes, you might call them townies. So there’s a proximity—they have the awareness of all those kids that are a few years older, but they don’t get to take part in all the crazy freeness of being in college. And that was kind of my experience growing up in Athens.

FP: How did you go about setting things up in Athens?

JP: The first phone call I made when I knew I wanted to direct this movie was to Danielle Robarge [Rusk], who’s the head of Film Athens. I called and said, “Hey, it looks like this coming summer, I really wanna try to take this movie down there. How can we do this?”

She really laid the groundwork, because I wasn’t in Athens at the time. She could take photos [of locations] and I could share them with people in Los Angeles, and really give them the sense of how Athens is so unique.

Our production office was downtown, in R.E.M.’s former office, which they had vacated the fall before. And it was very surreal, because growing up in Athens in the ‘80s and ‘90s, R.E.M. were the patron saints of everything cool. It meant a lot to me—emotionally, psychically, spiritually, in every single way. On a very practical level, I was getting to commit [Athens] to film, but I was also getting to give jobs and opportunities to Athens.

A lot of the people on the film fell in love with Athens. It was really awesome to have people I knew from Los Angeles and New York talking about the Manhattan, talking about the Globe. It was really cool for me. And Ciné was so profoundly helpful in every way. Ciné let us have local auditions there, they let me and my cinematographer screen movies there before we started shooting, as frames of reference. People were so laid-back and supportive and so nice.

FP: There’s a scene in the trailer, the actor who plays Sutter, Miles Teller, is wearing a Transmetropolitan t-shirt. Are there any other Athens Easter eggs local audiences can look for?

JP: Yeah, but I don’t wanna give too much away [laughs]…

Yes, people who are from Athens and see the movie will see tons of stuff they know. It’s on a very local level. It’s from the point of view of someone who’s growing up in Athens, and not as someone who’s a tourist.

For me [laughs], the biggest existential crisis was a lot of the story takes place in a high school, and we wound up shooting at Clarke Central. Which was a great place to shoot, but I went to Cedar Shoals, and Clarke Central was our rival. I had to sort of swallow that.

music DOs and DON’Ts

How to Get Ahead in Athens, or Not

E

ven in a music town like Athens, where strapping on a guitar is not only encouraged but practically mandated, it can be hard for a band to break on through to the other side. Counterintuitively, the Classic City’s glut of creative energy often works against it; with so many voices struggling to be heard, a lot gets lost in the din.

But don’t worry, kids. Flagpole’s not here to dash your hopes and dreams. (That’s a job for your professors.) If you just moved to town and find yourself jazzed by the prospect of playing music in Athens, there are steps you can take to all but guarantee success. We recently polled a selection of music-scene movers and shakers—club owners, sound engineers, musicians and journalists—to get their advice on making it between the Oconees. Together, their responses provide a healthy dose of moral encouragement, coated with just the slightest bit of caution. Read on below.

DO have a good Bandcamp, Facebook page and/or website that lists the names of your band members, what you play and other basic information that writers need to tell people about you.

DON’T pick a name that’s impossible to Google.

—Rachel Bailey, Flagpole

DON’T busk around College Square expecting captive audiences to care about your cover of “Wagon Wheel.”

—Dan Mistich, Flagpole DO get a calendar if you plan on being in five bands, because you’ll be the only one crazy enough to keep up with your schedule.

If you DON’T plan on being in five bands, get ready: you’re gonna be in eight!

—Jim Wilson, TaxiCab Verses DO volunteer at Nuçi’s Space.

DO limit demos to two or three songs.

DO support other local bands!

—David Barbe, Chase Park Transduction DO start as many subtly different side projects as you can, but don’t let any one of them overplay.

DON’T think practicing is lame. Hone your sound in the practice space, not at a show.

DO have patience.

—Nate Nelson, White Violet

DON’T send print press kits.

DON’T send iPhone footage of your last club play.

DO keep track of your box office scores.

—Scott Orvold, Georgia Theatre When emailing a booking agent, DO include pic, bio and a link to music right off the bat.

DO feel free to lock down a date with a local band rather than putting the bill on the agent.

DON’T drink too much and act like a rock star. You won’t be asked back.

DON’T give up on a venue if you don’t hear back immediately.

DON’T play for free.

—Bain Mattox, The World Famous DON’T base your timeline on anyone else. If you want to release your project on a certain date, don’t let anyone stop you from making that happen. Even if that person would add another element to your project, the show must go on!

DO reach out to artists in other areas. Social networking has made it so indie artists can come together without even leaving our houses. This will help you when you’re trying to expand your audience.

DO ask people other than your friends their opinion on your music. Play a song for someone without telling them that it’s you.

—Cassie Chantel, rapper

22

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 7, 2013

DON’T put on your own music when you have people over.

DON’T engage in extended conversation at Guitar Center.

DON’T be afraid of weird shit.

DO recognize how lucky you are to be a rock star.

DO appreciate those who care.

DO evaluate what matters to you about music, and act based on your values.

DO it all for the nookie.

—Phelan Lavelle, Shade DO put your earned money from shows straight into a bandfund account. You’d be surprised how quickly it adds up.

DO get involved in the community of artists and musicians.

DO play benefit shows.

DON’T let the nightlife swallow you up—it will spit you out.

DO stay true to your versatility.

—McKenna Mackie, TaterZandra DO be a professional.

DO be honest.

DO listen and learn from veterans in the business.

DO give 100 percent.

DON’T just show up to play and leave.

DON’T think you know it all.

DON’T burn bridges.

DON’T ever give up.

—Louis Phillip Pelot, Leaving Countries

DO contact out-of-town bands you like. Help them set up shows in Athens. One: it will make your town a better place. Two: you will need their help when you want to play in other towns.

DO remember that music is supposed to be fun.

DON’T play more than once a month.

DON’T make a habit of playing for free.

—Jay Steele, Athens Provisions DO show up on time to the venue.

DO buy a tuner before you start buying all those wicked fuzzes, flangers and delays.

If you’re having a bad day, DO leave it outside.

The last person you wanna piss off is the sound guy.

DON’T be the “cool guy” that smashes the club’s stands and microphones.

If you’re a rowdy frontman/woman, I’d recommend getting your own mics, cables and stands to destroy. In that case, DO smash away!

DON’T ever ask your audience how it sounds “out there.” This is insulting and rude to your engineer.

—Gene Woolfolk, Caledonia Lounge DON’T just make a Facebook event.

DO make actual flyers for your shows.

DO write the venue and the date, draw something goofy and then head to Bel-Jean.

DO have them make a few copies on colored construction paper.

DO hang them around town in bars, in coffee shops and outside in legal places that won’t get you ticketed. The effect might not be immediate, but at least you’ll get to know your way around town. And one day at a show, you might be approached by a cute barista who will ask you, “Hey, aren’t you that dork who wanted to hang a flyer in my shop?” And then you are in.

—Marshall Yarbrough, Flagpole DO use Flagpole as a quick-start guide to places and local acts that you may find aesthetically compatible.

DO attend as many shows as you can pack into your schedule, especially those played by people that you’re not already friends with.

DO introduce yourself to people with whom you identify artistically.

DO find cool house shows (and host your own), which is where the real magic happens in Athens and new scenes begin.

DON’T play longer than half an hour, unless the person who booked the show tells you they want you to in advance.

DON’T forget that you can try again another night.

—Jace Bartet, Reptar

Lieskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing on the three-song Last Call is restrained, for him, even spiritual in nature. The 11-minute â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movement 1â&#x20AC;? is an airy, circuitous trip, a Hang-centric jam wherein Lieske drops out for large chunks at a time, content to let Brannenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s percussive exploration lead the way.

The second tune, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monkey Needs Acupuncture,â&#x20AC;? is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;little goofy piece,â&#x20AC;? Brannen says, where he sings meditatively of a beach-bum monkey with a drinking problem. Lieske riffs noisily over the song like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bona fide rock and roll hit.

The halfcocked song demonstrates the curious sense of humor that bound the two musicians as much as their shared influences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Craig had an oddball, kind of goofy sense of humor,â&#x20AC;? says Brannen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to him the day before he died, and he was his usual, wisecracking self.â&#x20AC;?

The discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-minute finale, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Movement 2,â&#x20AC;? features Lieske at his improvisational best. Like Crazy Horse on some furtive spirit quest, Lieskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing here is psychedelic and emotive, raging but preternaturally controlled. Listening closely, you can almost picture him hunched over his beloved instrument, white mane shaking faintly with each explosive note.

This is the impression left by Craig Lieskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final recording: underdeveloped though it is, Last Call paints a picture of a man passionate about his work and seemingly contented in some deepseated creative way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could play, and he would go somewhere, or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go somewhere, and together weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just fall in, right behind,â&#x20AC;? says Brannen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was almost spooky, because we just seemed to know where the other was about to goâ&#x20AC;Ś We never knew exactly where it was going, but it was always going someplace good.â&#x20AC;?

Brannen recalls saying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lock the date new CD from Brannen & Lieske, there sits a single, downâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hit Studio Z and knock this out.â&#x20AC;? simple attribution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing a bad note ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big deal.

Those sessions would never happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;February second,â&#x20AC;?

Playing without passion is.â&#x20AC;? says Brannen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where is everybody?

When Craig Lieske, a constant scene Like everyone else, Brannen was blindsided by Lieskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence who played guitar in the bands Garbage Island and sudden passing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was stunned,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody saw this Diet Rock Star and was a fixture on the Drive-By Truckersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; road coming.â&#x20AC;? crew, died this past January at the age of 48, he left behind a particular void.

Though rock and roll was Lieskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first language, his commitment to what most people deem â&#x20AC;&#x153;experimentalâ&#x20AC;? music was unparalleled by anyone else in town.

It was this appreciation of leftfield music that first intrigued Serson Brannen, an Atlanta-based improv artist who has performed for several years under the Subliminator moniker, using voice and electronics to create intense, looping compositions. Brannen recalls his first meeting with Lieske, in Atlanta at the now-defunct Edgewood venue 11:11 Teahouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was this white-haired guy there that was a really good guitarist,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I struck up a conversation with him, and within five minutes, we were really, really good friends.â&#x20AC;?

The two eventually became collaborators. When Lieske set up shop at Flicker Serson Brannen and Craig Lieske last August for a weekly residency, he invited Brannen to perform alongside him. The grizzled, longBrannen lost not only a friend, but a creative partner. haired Atlanta musician arrived with a new toy in hand: the Propelled by the Hang, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we were kind of breaking new ground,â&#x20AC;?

Hang, a steelpan-like percussion instrument developed by two he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was very exciting. Just about any instrument Swiss inventors in 2000 and of which there exist only a handin the world, someone can walk up to you and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got ful in the entire world. a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen with what we Lieske was drawn to the sound of the strange instrument, were doing, because it was something that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done but also, presumably, its idiosyncratic nature. Either way, the before.â&#x20AC;? improvised show was a success. (Says Brannen: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just sort of Desiring to preserve his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory and to find closure clicked.â&#x20AC;?) Energized by the newfound collaboration, the two for himself and others, Brannen sought to document what he made plans to travel and record. A brief Southeastern tour, and Lieske had been working on. Local recording enthusiast where they played art galleries and other nontraditional venSloan Simpson, who runs the archival website Southern Shelter, ues, was well received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response was really, really good,â&#x20AC;? had been on hand at the pairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final 40 Watt gig in January Brannen recalls. and had gotten a decent field recording of the show.

threats & promises calendar picks Music News And Gossip

Hello, all. While we’ll save our most formal welcome back greetings for the first full week of UGA classes, I do want to give a heads-up to you overachievers out there who came back to Athens early. Check out this week’s news below, and get a jump on your compatriots.

And for all you Athens lifers, townies and other loyal readers: yeah, summer is over.

Sorry.

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah: As previously reported in this column, the band formerly known as Grim Pickins & The Bastard Congregation has disintegrated and reintegrated as Bastard Congregation. Branded as a new project entirely, the band now consists of Zack Hembree (Music Hates You, Stone Mountain Freeway), Dave Slocum (Artimus Pyledriver, Red River Revival), Chris Parry (Utah, Damad, Guzik), John Macbeth (Angel Fist, The Fallow) and Parker Bradshaw (Burns Like Fire). The new news is that Bastard Congregation will be making its live debut this week, with a pair of shows Friday, Aug. 9 in Savannah at The Jinx and Saturday, Aug. 10 at Max here in Athens. The Athens show also features Rachel Kate, Gather to Burn and Providence, RI bluegrasspunks Filthy Still. Hembree describes this group as “Straight-up heavy metal/ burly punk rock.” And, really, I wouldn’t expect any less. Grab on with both hands at facebook. com/pages/BastardCongregation.

Gather ‘Round: The Melting Point will host Rabbit Box Storytelling on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The semi-regular event is billed as “storytell- Tony Tidwell ing for adults,” and this particular night’s theme is “I’m With The Band: Tour Stories.” The lineup of scheduled speakers is impressive, and features multitalented singer-songwriter Jim White, Chris Sugiuchi (Vic Chesnutt), Laura Carter (Elf Power, Nana Grizol), Killick Hinds (Crazy Hoarse, Pocket Full Of Claptonite), Linda DePascale (Jack Williams Trio, Crossover), Alfred Cooper (Otis Redding, Percy Sledge & The Sledgehammers), Joan Prittie and John Lyndon, the brother of late road manager Twiggs Lyndon, Jr. (Allman Brothers, Dixie Dregs). The show starts at 7 p.m., costs $5 and is open to everyone 18 and older.

You Say Tomato: Athens music enthusiasts Daniel Peiken and Baylor Keese had their sights set on producing a full-fledged music festival this month, but after a couple of venue shifts, they decided to simply host two nights of music at The World Famous.

So, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9 and 10, there will be two nights of Americana, singer-songwriter and roots-type acts playing an event that is, Peiken says, “sponsored by the Athens Tomato Festival.” Friday’s lineup features Joe Cat, Ken Will Morton, Jack Logan & Scott Baxendale and Greco.

Saturday features Sweet Knievel, The Welfare

Speedy Ortiz, Androcles and the Lion, Monsoon, Velocirapture, Mans Trash Go Bar · 10 p.m. · $5 Anyone who misses ‘90s greats like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement should be thanking their lucky stars for Sadie Dupuis.

The rare revivalist with originality, Dupuis’ four-piece band Speedy Ortiz writes smart, sludgy rock in a similarly downbeat vein.

Get thee to Go Bar to see the group on Wednesday; Speedy Ortiz’s latest LP, Major Arcana, dropped in mid-July, and by now it’s been your favorite music writer’s favorite album for weeks. Anchored by Dupuis’ sharp writing, guitarist Matt Robidoux’s nimble playing, Darl Ferm’s plump bass and punchy drums from Mike Falcone, Speedy Ortiz is a rare treasure these days: a real rock band. You don’t have to be a Malkmus devotee to appreciate these guys—just someone with ears. [Rachel Bailey]

Flagpole and writer C.J. Bartunek with this chapter begin publication of a novel about the Athens scene in weekly installments.

We’ve never done this before, although the precedent was well established by newspapers in the 19th Century with writers like Dickens and Dostoyevsky. C.J. is a doctoral student in the UGA creative writing program and has contributed several articles to Flagpole, including this week’s piece on artisan breadmaking. We hope that The Athens of Georgia captures your interest and that you’ll look forward to each chapter as it appears in the paper. As each new chapter is published in the paper, the last week’s chapter will be posted online at www.flagpole.com.

Chapter 1.

Goodbye to All That

here were a lot of reasons that Casey Kozol moved to Athens, despite the fact that he’d never even visited the South in his life, but mostly—and secretly—it was because of a girl.

During his last month of college, at Northwestern, after his rejection letters had all come in from graduate programs at Harvard and Yale and Stanford and Columbia, and a few acceptances had trickled in from places he didn’t really want to go, he was faced with the terrible and wonderful realization that his future really was wide open.

“I guess I’ll just go move somewhere and see what it’s like,” he told his friends during their late-night porch-sitting sessions and at the parties that increasingly consumed every weeknight on their street in Evanston. “Maybe San Francisco or Portland,” he said one night, strumming a chord on his guitar.

“Possibly Austin. Anywhere cool that there’s a music scene, I guess.”

Hall at the blossoming trees on the last day of the semester.

“I’m glad I did.” Reese still wore the uniform of his days as a hip grad student in the early ‘90s, a black tee shirt tucked into faded black Levi’s; a small diamond stud glinted from one ear in the gray light of his office. The Smiths played softly from his computer speakers. A mountain of books by French theorists towered at Reese’s left side and a sheaf of handwritten notes fluttered in the breeze on his right.

Casey was filled with sadness; he couldn’t believe college was almost over for him. He’d been a friendless nerd in a small Nebraska town, with only his books and music to connect him to the wider world. Coming to Northwestern had changed everything.

“How old are you? About 22, 23?”

“Twenty-two,” Casey said.

“God, what an exciting time. Everything that happens to you at that age seems so epic. So… fraught. Well, whatever you do,” Reese said, “you should write about it. And keep me posted.”

“I will,” Casey said. They shook hands awkwardly, and Casey walked through the empty corridor feeling both excited and sad.

T

hat evening, just before dark, Genevieve Farrell appeared at the door of his bedroom, holding The Sun Also Rises, which he’d loaned her for a class two years before. “Your roommate let me in,” she said. “I just came to return this.” Her short dark hair looked freshly cut, and with her red lipstick and mod dress and combat boots it was unclear as usual whether she was off to play at a show in the city or to the library to study—she was always off to somewhere, and she always looked awesome.

“So, have you decided yet where you’re moving?” she asked, shifting her weight and looking at the mountain of cardboard boxes he’d been hoarding for the past few months and at the books that littered every surface. He was trying to sort through and get rid of some of them, but hadn’t made much headway.

“No,” he said. “Honestly, I have no idea what I’m going to do.” He smiled at her. “I’m going home for a couple months first, so I guess I’ll have time to ponder on it.”

“You should try Athens,” she said. “There’s an awesome music scene there.

You’d dig it.”

“Are you going back?”

He’d always been surprised to think that she was from Georgia—she was so unlike how he’d imagined Southerners to be.

“Yeah. Some dudes I went to high school with got a band together and they need a drummer.

They’ve lined up some other people for me to play with too.”

“That’s way cool.” His heart hammered in his chest as the events of the last weekend replayed in his mind. He and Genevieve had a history together, so to speak.

“Anyway, you should think about it—it’s a pretty rad place.”

“Huh, Athens hadn’t occurred to me. Maybe I’ll check it out as a possibility.” He leaned back in his desk chair nonchalantly, though inside he felt anything but.

“You totally should. I could show you around and introduce you to everyone. Anyway, there’d be a lot for you to write about.”

Her smile was dazzling.

“I’ve got to run, but hopefully I’ll see you at graduation,” she said, setting the book on his bureau. “Move to Athens!” she called as she skipped out of his room and down the stairs.

And they believed him, just like they’d believed he’d go get his PhD in English if he wanted to and become a college professor. He’d written music reviews and covered shows in Chicago for the college paper for the past three years, and had recently gotten his first paycheck for an uncredited album review in Rolling Stone. An editor at Pitchfork had asked to see more of his work. No one was sure if Casey Kozol was as smart as he seemed, or if it was just some kind of trick of the way he looked or carried himself or of his diffident manner that could have been either shyness or arrogance, but everyone was convinced that in his own quiet way he’d go on to do big things.

Casey himself was convinced of this, though he was careful not to say so.

“Taking a year or two off could be the best thing to happen to you,” said Dr. Reese, Casey’s advisor, as he leaned back in his creaky desk chair and looked out the window of University
