specializing in the defense of drug possession cases

THE LIBERTY LAW OFFICE OF JASON WILSON Have you recently been bitten by a dog or slipped at a place of business, and you are now looking to sue? Well, piss off. I’m not an ambulance chaser, and you need to be more careful. (A good tip - Always let a strange dog sniff your hand before you reach out to pet him).

However, if you have been charged with drug possession, prostitution, solicitation, or any of America’s other absurd vice laws, then I might be able to help you. As I am a believer that it is not any politician or police officer’s business what consenting adults do in their home, I have built a practice around the defense of these charges. So if you are in this category, then give me a call. We can meet up, talk about your case and determine what we can do next to help protect you from your government.

PULASKI HEIGHTS

Hope for Law Students Legislator Gives $500,000 to Scholarship Fund

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com If you tried to find a state legislator who opposed the HOPE scholarship, you couldn’t do it. The lottery-funded program that pays college tuition for Georgia students is one of the most popular laws ever enacted. Everybody loves HOPE and no one would think of eliminating it.

Rep. Stacey Evans (D-Smyrna) is a major supporter of HOPE, but she did an extraordinary thing this summer to demonstrate that support. She donated $500,000 to the University of Georgia to set up the Stacey Godfrey Evans Scholarship for law school students who are first-generation college graduates—the first member of their family to get a college degree.

Evans was one of those students, raised in Ringgold by working-class parents who couldn’t afford to pay their daughter’s way through college. She was able to attend the University of Georgia, where she earned economics and law degrees by pooling money from a HOPE scholarship, a federal Pell Grant and other financial aid. “My parents didn’t go to college, they worked in carpet mills when I was growing up,� she said. “There simply wasn’t a savings account for college, and there wasn’t disposable income available for tuition. “It was HOPE, it was Pell, I had loans.

Every kind of financial aid that’s available, I think I had a piece of it,� Evans recounted. “I also worked. I just knew how much I struggled and how hard it was, and how many times I thought I wouldn’t be able to stay in school.�

Evans is an attorney still in the early stages of her career. She graduated from law school in 2003 and was first elected to the Georgia House in 2010.

The money for the scholarship fund came from her work on a whistle-blower

lawsuit against DaVita HealthCare, which operates kidney dialysis clinics. DaVita was accused of overbilling Medicaid and Medicare and agreed to settle the lawsuit by paying $495 million, most of which went to the federal government.

Evans, along with other legislators, is trying to restore HOPE scholarship assistance to the level where it once again covers the full cost of tuition, rather than just a percentage of it. The legislature revised HOPE in 2011 by reducing tuition coverage to try to make the program more financially stable. One of the changes increased the grade point average requirement for technical college students to get HOPE Grants, which subsequently caused enrollment to plummet by 45,000. Evans proposed, and Gov. Nathan Deal later signed, a bill that returned the grade point average to its former level and enabled more technical college students to become eligible for HOPE. It’s an interesting coincidence that another $500,000 gift involving the university system was bestowed earlier this year. The Board of Regents approved that amount as a bonus payment to Georgia State University President Mark Becker, whose compensation already exceeded $570,000 a year. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. Every person has the right to make whatever the market is willing to pay for their services. That money, however, could have been used to help financially struggling college students.

Evans’ scholarship fund, on the other hand, will enable bright, hard-working students to continue their college studies and earn an advanced degree. Which of those financial gifts will provide the most benefits for Georgians? I don’t think it’s even a close call. f

Ort in Court Plus, Complete Streets Athens and More Local News

By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com “I’ve got to triage this,” William Orten Carlton said as friends carried stack after mud-covered stack of old 45 records from his backyard to be thrown away.

Ort, as he’s known by almost everyone (and almost everyone knows Ort), landed in the clink the night of Monday, Sept. 21, on a probation violation charge stemming from a citation he’d received more than a year ago for (allegedly) having a messy yard, including a couple of junked cars, three damaged sheds and other debris. By Tuesday afternoon, lawyer Bill Overend sprung him on his own recognizance, and Thursday, friends gathered at his Homewood Hills house to help start finishing a big job.

It’s easy to see why, given his vast, vast, vast collection of books, records, beer cans, assorted Athens scene memorabilia and other ephemera, Ort might have let the situation get a bit… unwieldy, and why he may have had a hard time throwing anything away. Athens-Clarke County spent 15 months trying to get him to get the situation under control, starting with a warning in August 2014, then citations in October.

A dozen visits from the Community Protection Division, several continuances, two missed court dates, a trial, a sentence of 90 days’ probation and multiple extensions later, Ort found himself in the reformatory.

Contrary to popular belief in the Facebook firestorm that followed Ort’s incarceration, this was the not the heavy hand of government run amok. Rumors that a county attorney lived nearby and was persecuting him proved unfounded.

The record shows that CPD and the attorney’s office gave Ort chance after chance to comply with our local “quality-of-life” ordinances. But he’s 66 and not in great health.

Luckily, he has lots of friends who’ve been

helping him out, because that’s what we do here in Athens.

In the wake of Ortgate, though, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us revisit these quality-of-life ordinances that regulate things like junked cars and trashy lawns.

Many of them were passed during the Heidi Davison days in response to widespread community concerns about the condition of student rental property. It’s one thing to apply the law to a student or a neglectful landlord, though; it’s another to apply it to a beloved local legend.

Ort—wearing a rather appropriate T-shirt—goes through old records while cleaning up his carport.

Complete Streets Athens: Almost anyone in Athens can tell you about the time(s) they almost got run over. But until now, no one’s been collecting those stories.

The fledgling advocacy group Complete Streets Athens held a kickoff meeting last week, where BikeAthens Executive Director Tyler Dewey announced that the organization will be gathering data on near-misses to better make the case for cyclist and pedestrian infrastructure improvements.

“We know the official crash data is vastly under-reported,” Dewey said, because near-misses don’t count, and because many people either don’t think the police will do anything or are afraid to talk to the police.

At the website bikemaps.org, people can anonymously report any kind of road hazard or traffic incident using a desktop or by downloading an app. Complete Street Athens is also soliciting feedback from residents all over the county on where they think safety improvements are needed.

“What we’re looking for is innovative, out-of-the-box solutions to make our streets safe for everyone,” co-founder Tony Eubanks said. Hit up completestreets athens.com, facebook.com/CompleteStreets Athens, @CSAthensGA or CompleteStreets ATH@gmail.com.

Georgia Dogs: The university just couldn’t get its story straight last week when People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a federal complaint over a UGA program that trained National Guard soldiers in battlefield medicine using live goats, pigs and dogs.

The animals were under anesthesia during the procedures and were euthanized afterward. PETA argued that UGA could use human simulators, as many other institutions now do, to provide the training.

The program passed muster with a panel that examines the ethics of using animals in research. At first, UGA defended the program, saying that it was vital to saving human lives. Later that day, though, the university released another statement saying that it had been discontinued in 2013.

The following day, PETA provided documentation that the program had extended at least into 2014. UGA President Jere Morehead said he had no information about that during his regularly scheduled media briefing that day.

But the day after that, UGA Vice President for Research David Lee acknowledged that PETA was correct—the course had not been offered to military personnel since 2013, he clarified. A similar course

was offered to “self-paying private practitioners” in 2014.

“The University of Georgia will not use dogs for future medical readiness training provided to personnel responsible for human health,” Lee wrote to PETA. Medical College Dean: Seven months after the recently renamed Augusta University (formerly the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia Regents University) pushed out Athens medical school dean Barbara Schuster, UGA is “working closely” with Augusta University to hire a replacement from among four finalists, and they’re making progress, Provost Pamela Whitten said last week. The timetable is “as soon as possible,” she said.

ImmiGRANT: U-Lead Athens—an organization that helps undocumented immigrant students in Clarke County who are banned from UGA go to college elsewhere— received a $20,000 matching grant from Educators for Fair Consideration. Since its inception last year, U-Lead has given scholarships to 15 local students and helped others apply to out-of-state colleges that don’t have such draconian restrictions on immigration status. f

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s How to Insulate Your Historic Home

By Jason Perry news@flagpole.com You may be surprised to learn that I live in a 100-year-old house with original single-pane windows and almost no insulation. Energy retrofits in old houses can be confusing and expensive, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to develop analysis paralysis trying to figure out where to start. Old houses have finicky materials to work around and sometimes historic preservation concerns to boot.

The cheapest thing that you can do yourself is tighten up points of air infiltration.

Doors may have weird gaps due to warping, so V-strip (flexible plastic folded in a V shape) tends to work well there. A door sweep on the bottom will stop toe-chilling drafts. The locks on double-hung sash windows should engage to squeeze the sashes together and compress the top and bottom into the frame, but if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lock, you

can apply insulation directly to the underside of the roof deck only if you have an inch of rigid foam insulation on the outside of the sheathing. This prevents condensation from forming in the roof structure in cold weather and rotting it out. Otherwise, there must be a vented air channel between the insulation and the underside of the roof, with openings at the eave and the ridge. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in the attic, a blanket of 13 or 14 inches of blown cellulose on the attic floor will get you up to code for not a lot of money. Either way, get rid of that attic ventilation fanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not helping.

Insulating old walls is tricky, because you have plaster and lath on the inside, historic siding on the outside and sometimes asbestos siding over that. Your best choice is to have cellulose blown in, but make sure

may need to get rid of excess paint buildup.

Unused fireplaces need an inflatable draftstopper to seal the flue without violating fire codes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable working around wiring, you should caulk the gaps and holes in and around junction boxes in your ceiling. Attic hatches are easy to tighten up with a foam gasket.

People talk about replacing their old windows to save energy, but if your windows are in good shape, keep them and have them repaired as needed. (The AthensClarke Heritage Foundation can provide resources.) Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lasted nearly a century, are made of durable but now unobtainable materials and, if taken care of, will outlive you. A tune-up for historic windows can get expensive, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nearly as costly as replacement. If you must replace irreparable old windows, then invest in quality doublepane glazing, but if your only reason is energy savings, you will never see a return on investment.

If you have an HVAC in your attic, the best practice is to insulate the roof and gable walls to enclose the system in a semiconditioned space. (Joseph Lstiburek is the leading authority on this subject, and much of his work is available for free online.) You may consider this even if you only use the attic for storage. In our climate zone, you

someone does an infrared survey afterward to ensure diagonal braces or fire blocks between studs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create voids. Injecting spray foam is another option, but there are enough concerns about trapped moisture, shrinkage and irreversibility to give pause.

Most of us have crawlspaces, and most of them are either totally open or at least ventilated. If your HVAC is down below, then there is a strong case for encapsulating the crawlspace to make it semi-conditioned.

This requires good stormwater management around the house, moisture control under the house and proper selection and application of insulation material on the crawlspace walls. If you insulate the floor instead, care should be taken to protect plumbing from freezing; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to isolate it from the warmth of the house in winter.

All this stuff can get expensive, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be aware of how much you spend on heating and cooling, because sometimes the payback just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.

Short-Term Rental Homes Spark Discussion

by Carolyn Crist news@flagpole.com

T

his fall, lawmakers across the country are debating the merits of short-term rentals and online sites such as Airbnb, HomeAway and Roomorama.

The sites let homeowners—especially in popular destinations like Athens—make a little extra cash by renting their houses to football fans or other visitors. They can raise the same issues as any other rental housing in a college town, though: partying and parking in otherwise quiet neighborhoods. And they’re disrupting the hospitality business, much as Uber and other “sharing economy” apps have done for taxis, delivery and other industries.

Several states and cities have put regulations on the books this month, while others, Georgia and Athens-Clarke County included, continue to suss out the complexities.

Meanwhile, short-term online rentals continue to grow in popularity. Airbnb, for example, recently listed 158 houses and individual rooms for rent in Athens; prices ranged from $55 per night up to $2,500 for a seven-bedroom Five Points mansion.

An Alternative to Hotels ACC Commissioner Allison Wright and husband Gene first bought their house in the Five Points area in 1992, and the house behind theirs was a rental. A few years ago, they told the owner they’d like to buy the home if he sold it; he did, in May. They immediately began repairing it for a new tenant but didn’t have it ready for fall move-in and decided to rent the upstairs on Airbnb while they renovated the downstairs.

The Wrights’ guests sound similar to other hosts’ in Athens: A man came to town for a Saturday wedding but also wanted a place to stay for Friday, and most in-town hotel rooms were booked. A professor from Argentina wanted a place for his family to live for 30 days. A couple from Los Angeles needed a place to stay for a month while they looked for a permanent home. Another couple stayed for nine days while they waited to move into on-campus

family housing. Neighbors plan to rent the home during the Christmas holidays as a guest house for their family.

“I think these rentals fill a need,” Allison Wright says.

“Like the wedding guest told us, all the hotel rooms were full when he needed a room for Friday. And the professor from Argentina didn’t want his family to stay in a hotel for a month. If you have a kid, a hotel barely works for one or two nights.”

As a commissioner, Wright sees both sides—she experiences the benefits of Airbnb but also wants to acknowledge any concerns from Athenians. By next August, she hopes to have a traditional long-term tenant in the home, but she has enjoyed meeting new people and learning about the short-term rental market.

“As a commissioner and on the school board, people sometimes bring forward concerns, and we have to figure out what problem to solve,” she says. “As we’ve seen with state regulations regarding Uber, it’s actually made business more challenging for taxis but not really restricted Uber drivers.”

When Rabbit Box founder Marci White closed her business in 2014, she looked for a way to make extra money and listed her home in the Boulevard district this April.

The extra income helps her to afford her ideal in-town spot, where property taxes have increased dramatically since she bought the home 18 years ago.

White notes that larger cities such as San Francisco and New York likely have severe problems with rentals because of an existing housing crunch and high rents that keep moving up. In addition, numerous investor-owned rentals in one spot can change the character of the neighborhood.

“Athens is not even close to something like that,” she says.

“We don’t have those problems because it’s just not prevalent enough here, and I doubt it ever will be.”

Jessie McClellan, host of WUGA’s “Morning Edition,” decided to list her home off Atlanta Highway near the end of last year’s football season, when she heard some of her friends had success with Airbnb guests. She only rents her home during game-day weekends and travels to nearby cities such as Asheville and Charlotte with her family. “People have asked if I’m nervous about a guest destroying my

house or going through my stuff, but the way the world works today, everything is connected to your online presence,” she says.

To sign into her Airbnb account, McClellan uses her Facebook login. In addition, the Airbnb profile calls for both hosts and guests to leave feedback, creating real-time reviews that affect future opportunities to earn money or stay elsewhere. “As a renter, you want to be as honest as possible and make the guests feel comfortable,” she says.

“Similarly, as a guest, you want to be as respectful as possible.” At her home, McClellan leaves a note explaining that her neighborhood is quiet and asks guests not to smoke in the house. She also talks to her neighbors about visitors if they seem worried.

“These rentals benefit the local economy, not only through shopping, dining and events but through the homeowners who want their homes to look nice,” she says. “I board my dogs when we rent the house and use cleaning services after each visit.”

Benefits and Drawbacks There are downsides to short-term rentals, too. In September, crowded Southern California cities such as Santa Ana, Anaheim and Laguna Beach put restrictions on home rentals of 30 days or less, including fees and taxes to cut down on noise, parking and trash complaints by neighbors. Similarly, a group in San Diego called Preserve Our Communities is asking the city council to tighten restrictions on who is allowed to rent and how often they can offer their spaces. In Boulder, CO, the council passed a regulation saying only owner-occupiers can profit from their spaces, not second home owners or renters. Closer to home, Austin, TX and Asheville, NC are struggling with the question as well: How can a city support property owners’ rights and welcome visitors yet maintain neighborhood appeal and safety?

Officially, only one complaint has been recorded by the ACC Commission. At the Aug. 4 meeting, a Hiawassee Avenue resident expressed concerns about another

a business license, zoning, parking, safety and food service. A state law would create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;level playing field,â&#x20AC;? says Jim Sprouse, executive director of the Georgia Hotel and Lodging Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a place is renting rooms by the night, there should be some regulations,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concern is about the growing number of units available across the country.â&#x20AC;?

Two Boston University professors who originally studied Airbnbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effects on the hotel industry in 2013 released an updated paper in May that focused on Austin. They estimated the impact on hotel revenue was about 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 percent, and each 10 percent increase in Airbnb listings meant a 0.35 percent decrease in hotel room revenue per month.

Also, short-term rental sites tend to affect lower-priced hotels and those that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cater to business travelers, causing those hotels to drop their rates.

But on home football weekends, Athens hotels canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly accommodate all the people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to stay overnight. Short-term rentals can help fill that gap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In places like Athens on game days or Augusta during the Masters, people rely on single-family houses because hotels fill up,â&#x20AC;? says state Sen. Frank Ginn (R-Danielsville).

Another issue is whether a $5 fee per room per night tacked onto the transportation funding bill this year should be applied to short-term rentals. Right now, the fee doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to rental homes or most bed-andbreakfast spots, because the property must have five or more rooms for rent. Frye worries that charging the fee on Airbnb-style rentals will double-tax homeowners, since they already pay income tax on the rents they receive. Some legislators, such as state Rep. Regina Quick (R-Athens), would rather get rid of the fee altogether than expand it. New regulations could distinguish between homeowners who have a single residence and those who invest in several properties and should be treated like hotel owners, Wright shows off the home sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rented to people like weekend vacationers and a professor visiting UGA for a Frye says. month.

Commissioner Melissa Link requested a report on Airbnb operations in Athens in relation to the zoning code, which states that bed-and-breakfasts are not allowed in residential zones. However, ACC code doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet define or regulate short-term rental activities such as Airbnb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know several people who rent their homes out, especially on football game days,â&#x20AC;? says Link, who also lives on Hiawassee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity to make some money, especially if you live in the part of town where property values have increased 12 percent the past two years.â&#x20AC;?

Celebrating its seventh anniversary last month, the largest short-term rental site, Airbnb, is now available in 190 countries and 34,000 cities with more than 1.5 million listings. The online accessibility changes the way consumers choose lodging and spend money on dining and shopping, and leaves a mark on the places they visit. Will this disruption of the lodging industry also change the way governments interact with property owners of all kinds? For now, the ACC commission will leave it up to decisions at the state level and focus on ordinances already in place to handle complaints.

Fresh Food for Less CSA Fund Helps Bring Healthy Food to More Families

By Lauren Marie Schumacker news@flagpole.com Currently, members pay for half of their share, and the rest is taken care of through the fund. As word grows and the program expands, Collective Harvest hopes the fund will have the capability of paying for an even greater portion of members’ shares.

“We’re going to move into a new model coming [in] spring 2016 where [there’s] going to be even more incentive. It’s to be a [flat] payment, probably about $50, and then you get the rest of it for free. And our goal is to have 10 members,” Farfour says.

Organizations and community members are welcome to direct interested and qualified potential applicants to Collective Harvest and the fund for more information or to apply. The hope is that the word will get out to those who are interested or in a position to help, and that the program will really make a difference in members’ lives— that it will become a powerful tool to help make fresh food more accessible.

CSA-assistance programs like the Fresh Food Fund are becoming more common not only in Georgia but across the country, as more people see the value in making fresh food available to everyone. Many function through donations as well as grants from A CSA is a really wonderful way to foundations and organizations. help a small farmer get started.

Athens is a locally grown, organic, farmto-table, food-obsessed town. There are multiple opportunities to shop at a farmers market each week, as well as CSAs and other programs designed to bring that farm and that table a little bit closer together.

But eating that way can be pricey and difficult for families and individuals alike who don’t have as much money to devote to food choices—costly in more ways than one.

Collective Harvest is a group of three Athens-area farms that together run a CSA (community-supported agriculture) program. Members buy a half or full share and receive a part of the weekly harvest. The partnership helps farmers have the money to buy seeds, equipment and other supplies, as well as bring food to the community, and foster a relationship between community members and the farmers living and working right down the road.

Museum Mix Celebrates Alice Aycock Plus, Performance Art by Michele Chidester

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Twists and Turns: Over the course of her four-decade career, New York City-based sculpture artist Alice Aycock has become well known for her large-scale ideas addressing themes related to the environment, architecture, metaphysics and the philosophical ramifications of technology.

One such project, “Park Avenue Paper Chase,” was a collection of seven stark white aluminum and fiberglass sculptures embodying the unpredictable nature of wind as it touched down on the installation site, a stretch of Park Avenue on the Upper East Side.

“For the Park Avenue project, I tried to visualize the movement of wind energy as it flowed up and down the avenue creating random whirlpools, touching down here and there and sometimes forming dynamic three-dimensional massing of forms,” says Aycock in an artist statement. “The sculptural assemblages suggest waves, wind turbulence, turbines and vortexes of energy. One of the works, in particular, references the expressive quality of wind through drapery and the chaotic beauty of fluid/flow dynamics. As much as the sculptures are obviously placed on the mall, I wanted the work to have a random, haphazard quality—in some cases piling up on itself, in others spinning off into the air.”

Two of the series’ massive sculptures, “Twin Vortexes” and “Waltzing Matilda,” have spun their way south to the Georgia Museum of Art’s Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden, where they will remain on view through Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016. Whereas “Twin Vortexes” takes shape as a pair of topsy-turvy cyclones seemingly defying gravity through their chaotic, spiraling twists, “Waltzing Matilda” resembles soft folds of fabric being gently rippled by a fluttering breeze.

Aycock’s sculptures will be the source of inspiration for the fall installation of Museum Mix, the museum’s thriceyearly late-night art party, which features refreshments, music and full access to the galleries.

Jenny Gropp, aka DJ Jenny G, will provide a sonic backdrop to the evening, spinning tracks that span across several eras and countries. Well versed in sound art and electronic music, she has hosted specialty shows for Radio 1190 in Boulder, CO; KBGA in Missoula, MT; and WVUA in Tuscaloosa, AL, over the past 15 years. In addition to studying music in West Africa, her travels have landed her DJ gigs in Japan and cities all across the U.S.

Ar t

“I told [GMOA’s] Michael Lachowski I was interested in how Aycock said she was visualizing the movement of wind when she was sculpting, and that I wanted to offer an aural capacity to that experience,” says Gropp. “I’m thinking of high-energy, sweeping music— everything from shoegaze to krautrock to fills of bright drone. Lots of variety, with dancing in mind! Basically, I want to saturate the sculpture garden with sound.”

Gropp, who currently works as the managing editor for the Georgia Review, will release her first book of mixed-genre poetry and prose through Kore Press this March. Founded in 1993, Kore Press is a small, feminist-owned nonprofit press with a vision of publishing literary works by a diversity of women, particularly those who are underrepresented in the cultural mainstream.

Museum Mix will be held Thursday, Oct. 1 from 8 p.m.–12 a.m. Guests are encouraged to tag photos from the evening with the hashtag #museummix.

The Artist is Present: Local painter, performance artist and puppeteer Michele Chidester will present multi-day performance art pieces within The Box@ATHICA throughout the next Jenny Gropp in front of Alice Aycock’s “Waltzing Matilda” month.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 (PG) The central weaknesses of 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animated hit voiced

by Adam Sandler, et al. remain in its sequel. With so many good kid-friendly horror movies being produced, both Hotel Transylvanias do nothing characteristically monstrous with their cast of actual monsters. The follow-up deals with Sandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dracula becoming a vam-pa to Dennis, the son of his vamp-daughter, Mavis (v. Selena Gomez), and human son-in-law, Jonathan (v. Andy Samberg). Apparently, the other monstersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Frankenstein (v. Kevin James), Wayne the werewolf (v. Steve Buscemi), Griffin the invisible man (v. David Spade) and Murray the mummy (v. Keegan-Michael Key)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;are still permanent guests at Dracâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel, which is now open to humans.

Despite its core lack of monstrousness, Hotel Transylvania 2 has lots of energy and zips along merrily. One just wishes director Genndy Tartakovsky of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dexterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laboratory,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Samurai Jackâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Wars: Clone Warsâ&#x20AC;? had someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas to work with besides those of Sandler. The animation remains outstanding; if only the narrative had more creatively horrific pop.

For most parents, Hotel Transylvania 2 will serve its purpose as effectively as a night in a generic hotel chain. f

In the Ring The Mountain Goats Come Out on Top with Beat the Champ

By Marshall Yarbrough music@flagpole.com

I

t’s been a busy year for The Mountain Goats. The April release of Beat the Champ, the band’s latest record, came just months after bandleader John Darnielle published his debut novel, Wolf in White Van. And Darnielle isn’t the only member with a side gig: March saw the release of The Best of The Best Show, a 16-CD compilation of drummer Jon Wurster’s contributions to Tom Scharpling’s acclaimed cult radio show on New Jersey’s WFMU. From 2000–2013, Wurster regularly called in to “The Best Show on WFMU,” posing as different characters from the fictional town of Newbridge, NJ—all while touring with acts like The Mountain Goats, Superchunk or Bob Mould.

“I’d be doing [the calls] from an alley behind a club,” Wurster explains, or “just off the stage as we were about to go on—anywhere I could fit a call in where it wouldn’t be too loud.” Wurster modestly sums up his role on “The Best Show” as “a lot of hiding behind Dumpsters, making calls.”

Now, The Mountain Goats are heading out on a tour of the South, the band’s third string of dates in support of Beat the Champ. The record deals with themes like the strain of touring and missing family, getting older and experiencing one’s body breaking down. It also happens to be a concept album about professional wrestling.

Wurster admits to being skeptical about the project at first. “John was very excited about this concept,” he says, “and I was a little unsure of how it was going to hang together.”

The band rehearsed the new songs in a theater on Duke University’s campus. “That helped a lot,” Wurster says. “It made the songs and the performances sound recordready, so I think going into the studio we had that confidence going.”

It wasn’t long before Wurster began to realize what Darnielle was up to. “‘OK, this is a universal theme he’s going after,’” Wurster remembers thinking. “I realized, ‘Oh yeah, people are going to be able to relate to this, even if they don’t know a thing about wrestling.’”

Indeed, Darnielle portrays the world of costumes and cage matches in such vivid detail that even the uninitiated can envision it. The listener’s initial amusement at the novelty of the concept—the shock and joy and discomfort of hearing the sweet, reedy-voiced Darnielle sing lines like “I personally will stab you in the eye with a foreign object”—quickly gives way to genuine sympathy for the record’s characters.

While Darnielle does play up wrestling’s comic aspects, Beat the Champ is a dark and remarkably violent record. For the wrestlers, and those in the audience who identify with them, the sport’s stylized violence is a way of compensating for their powerlessness outside of it. “One of these days my legs will both snap like twigs,” Darnielle sings on “Foreign Object.” “If you can’t beat ‘em, make ‘em bleed like pigs.”

This theme repeats on “The Ballad of Bull Ramos,” a song about an aging, small-time wrestler reliving his glory days as his health worsens. “Aren’t you that old wrestler with the bullwhip?” a doctor asks the title character as he prepares to operate. Ramos replies proudly, “Yes sir, that’s me/ I’m him.” By the next verse, he’s lost a kidney and gone blind.

It’s not just that the record’s themes are universal. As Wurster points out, this is also familiar ground for The Mountain Goats. “The Legend of Chavo Guerrero” recalls the conflict between stepdad and stepson on 2005’s The Sunset Tree: “He was my hero back when I was a kid,” Darnielle sings. “You let me down, but Chavo never once did.”

Wrestling’s allure for the narrator of “Chavo” is a mixture of exoticism, escapism and yearning. “The telecast’s in Spanish/ I can understand some/ And I need justice in my life/ Here it comes,” Darnielle sings, leading up to the chorus: “Look high, it’s my last hope/ Chavo Guerrero, coming off the top rope.” In wrestling, things work out in ways they don’t in real life.

Yet things are working out nicely for The Mountain Goats. Touring behind a concept record with an arcane theme might seem like an odd moment for a band to hit its stride, but Wurster speaks of a strong understanding between him, Darnielle and bassist Peter Hughes.

“We’ve been doing this as this unit, the three of us, since early 2007, so… we know how to play together,” says Wurster. “I hear it the most in these last two records,” he says, referring to Beat the Champ and 2013’s Transcendental Youth. “It sounds like a band that’s been playing a long time together.” f

Why, Sad Dads? Why?

@ GRADUATE ATHENS 295 E. DOUGHERTY ST. // ATHENS GA 30601 706�389�5549 · THEFOUNDRYATHENS.COM

Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com NO, DAD, NO: The new album from the always intentionally nutty Sad Dads came out earlier this month. It’s called I’m Doing Okay, which, I suppose, makes it the most reassuring album of the week. Those who supported the group’s Kickstarter campaign should already be receiving their premium goods. According to their fundraising page, there are 30 of you who donated between $1–$50 to make this happen. The band thanks you for that, but I’m not certain I do. Musically, it’s little more (and often less) than simple riff-’n’-chord bar-rock with lyrics that are supposed to be

Sad Dads

funny. But after giving this the old college try—three full spins!—I just can’t, y’all. In a live setting, the band makes up with volume what it lacks in real style, but sitting at home, I can’t muster the patience or stomach to deal with the jokey lyrics of “My Ex-Wife is A Bitch,” the weird insidebaseball race humor of “Diverse Universe” or even stickto-the-subject-matter songs like “Chiropractor,” “Fantasy Football” and “Online Dating.” To be more than fair, I tend to really hate humor in music, but I hate long-form, laddish, lunchroom/locker-room junk like this even more. Which is sad, because all the other bands these guys come from (Velocirapture, Muuy Biien, Figboots, k i d s, The Rodney Kings) are tops for me. Oh, well. Check it at saddadsthe band.bandcamp.com.

SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO WORDS: Athens musician Jack Cherry (Uncle Dad) just released a new EP, Cavern Of, under the moniker Juan de Fuca, which he’s used for at

least two previous releases. The seven-song record seamlessly breezes through deliberate shoegaze/dream-pop (“A Place to Wait,” “Lackluster”), deep musical meditation (“At Your House,” “Cavern Of”) and sparse acoustic work (“Wednesday,” “We Go Back”). The first couple of times I listened, I didn’t bother to read the lyrics; I just enjoyed it.

Then I saw written in the notes, “In memory of Sol Samuel.”

So, I did some research, listened again, read the lyrics and sat in awe. Cavern Of was already a great little record in bliss and ignorance, but it’s a stunning, gorgeous, deeply felt and incredibly rendered tribute to a lost friend on deeper examination. Pay attention and listen in at juandefuca music.bandcamp.com.

WAVE AND SAY HEY: This is gonna serve as my official welcome to Athens for newly local band Gláss. Originally from Greenville, SC, the postpunk group is only just getting its feet wet in our town, but it has done quite a bit before ever hitting the Clarke County line, with three decent releases out as a full band, as well as a totally good solo acoustic album by singer and guitarist Aáron Burke. Before you ask, yes, they’ve got those accent marks all over everything, for some reason, and all I can think of when I see them is the old Athens label Superfluous Umlaut. Anyway, sometimes they venture a bit too far into the 1990s Louisville, KY—and by extension, Olympia, WA—punk-not-punk sounds for me, but I’m looking forward to catching them live. Anyway, welcome aboard, y’all.

Be yourselves, hang out, say hey. Readers, check them out via glasstheband.bandcamp.com.

SNOWED IN: Athens musician Brent Mottley has a new project named Mt. Indigo, and he released a 10-track album named Night Swimming in July. It’s completely electronic (keyboards, synths, beats), but explores a ranges of styles, including dub, darkwave, minimal synth and snatches of glitch here and there. Overall, it’s a drowsy record that’s actually great for the end of summer. I encourage listeners to check out the full Mt. Indigo aesthetic over at mtindigo.com, or if you only want to listen to music and skip the visual aids, head to mtindigo.bandcamp.com. f

record review Jo RB Jones: Jo RB Jones (Loud Baby Sounds) The eponymous debut from Jo RB Jones, the Athens-based four-piece indie rock band named for lead singer and guitarist Rebecca Jones, is a brief, seven-track collection of endearing pop songs centered around the theme of stumbling into adulthood.

Jones’ lyrics are largely about taking strength from loved ones and providing it for them in return. The wonderful “Frolic (Ur the One)” is an unabashed love ballad dedicated to the singer’s longtime partner (and band guitarist), Michael Wright. On album closer “Arrows,” Jones analogizes giving emotional support with being a literal human shield and questions how long someone can hold up someone else in the face of adversity.

The music, played by Jones, Wright, bassist Henry Barbe and Glenn Reece on drums (with a brief appearance by John Fernandes on violin), is mostly simple, with hints of experimentation and a mid-‘90s flair that’s in line with the Dinosaur Jr.-esque nature of related local projects like Velocirapture and The Hernies. Jones’ vocal delivery is sincere throughout, adding an emotional weight that the band otherwise lacks. Jo RB Jones is a solid, often moving debut, a sign of good things to come. [Nathan Kerce]

The exhibition takes its name from a cinematic production technique that creates the illusion of nighttime, when in actuality the scene was filmed in daylight. The art functions in much the same way, shrouded in an illusion created by using unconventional methods to articulate seemingly incongruent forms. Eve Nettles, Hope Hilton, Zipporah Thompson, Clay Jordan, Donald Cope, Saegan Moran and Eileen Wallace have contributed a range of media from paper sculpture to photography and prints. “Day for Night” will be on view through Wednesday, Jan. 6.

EVENTS | Sun, Oct 4

Creature Comforts Brewery · 9 p.m.

In August, Flagpole spoke with Durham “Durs” Henderson about changes coming to his local house-show venue, Rowdy Dowdy. With residents moving away, the future of the DIY spot, which hosted its final blowout event on the Fourth of July, was unclear. Partygoers can rejoice once more, though; the Dowdy folks have teamed with Creature Comforts for a night of debauchery, art and fundraising.

In addition to a four-band bill, headlined by Florida transplants Roadkill Ghost Choir, Dowdy’s return will incorporate art installations, a raffle and a silent auction to raise money for Light the Night, a coordinated walk much like Relay for Life that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. [Andy Barton]

Camp Kiwanis · 5 p.m. · $10 (wristband) The Broad River Outpost hosts a two-day concert to benefit the Broad River Watershed Association. The action takes place at Camp Kiwanis in Danielsville, and music kicks off around sunset. Bands include Elf Power, Wild of Night, Shade, Scott Spillane EXP, the Shoal Creek Stranglers, the Athens Cowboy Choir and others. A wristband for the weekend is $10, but you can pony up a little more if you wanna set up camp or stay in a cabin. In addition to the music, Saturday’s much-anticipated UGA-Alabama football game will be screened, and organizers promise other fun outdoors-y stuff, like a hay ride, an egg-in-spoon tube race, a plant-identification showdown and more. [Gabe Vodicka]

The Hill · 4 p.m. · $75 Presented by the Athens Farmers Market, the fifth annual Autumn Harvest Feast gives foodies a chance to eat well and do good. Proceeds benefit Wholesome Wave Georgia, which sponsors the Farmers Market’s Double SNAP Incentive Program.

The program increases access to wholesome, locally grown food for members of the community who rely on government nutrition assistance credits. Twenty-five local chefs, beer and coffee brewers and makers of artisanal cocktails will provide the evening’s extensive menu celebrating Athens’ communal spirit.

String Theory, a local bluegrass and Americana string band, will provide live music, and special guest state Sen. Jason Carter will be in attendance. [MB]

Sexism in the Arts Scene Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com What do I do about the sexist assholes with whom I bump elbows creatively? The worst offenders command too much influence for me to call them out publicly. But they’re awful, and I feel like a lot of other women are secretly thinking the same thing I am. Everyone seems too scared to say anything, especially when the offenses are mild, individually, but collectively form a pattern of exclusion and dismissal.

HELP, PLEASE!

down, the accused responds hesitantly and with no humility, finding ways to justify his transgression by way of artistic license, victim-blaming or just a simple declaration of, “I don’t care, I’ll do what I want.” I wince whenever I see these jackasses getting glowing write-ups in this very magazine. I’ve seen women, stunned and hurt by the lack of support in this town for females in the arts, stop making music or even move away from Athens to pursue rock or art stardom.

I would love it if you didn’t move or stop creating. Don’t let those assholes win! Call people out if you can, or if you want something known but don’t want the leak being connected to you, tell one very

living that is dealing with tokenization by breeders.

I believe that straight people get a real kick out of dipping their toes in gayness, and the fact that they think it’s “outrageous” to play gay is actually kind of offensive to me. It says that they don’t think of gayness as normal, and trying to shock people with gayness is pretty much on the same level as dressing like a transgender person for Halloween.

Have fun with your friend, but don’t take it to heart. Most importantly, be respectful, and don’t end up accidentally sexually assaulting a drunk, stupid heterosexual. f Need advice? Email advice@flagpole.com, or use the anonymous form at flagpole.com/getadvice.
