AthFest: Saturday recap a little late
Submitted by Ann Marie Miani on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 11:56am.Sorry this recap is a day late, but I had to spend most of yesterday recovering and sitting at my computer and typing wasn't on the agenda.
Like a said on Saturday, I skipped most of the outdoor stuff until about 6 p.m. I figured that is might not be as hot after 6 (it wasn't) and I knew that Saturday would be a long night (and it was). I saw a few of the outdoor shows, but spent time with our photographer Tricia Spaulding to help her snag an interview with one of the Modern Skirts for her audio slideshow on the ABH's AthFest page. John, if you are reading this you guys have been a band since 2004, according your MySpace page, so that would be four years.

Athfest: Friday fun
Submitted by Ann Marie Miani on Sat, 06/21/2008 - 10:43am.Yes Friday was a very long day and I am actually shocked I made it until 1:30 a.m. A couple of friends from college came down for the festivities, but they are going to miss out on today because they are going to see that other Athens band that is playing at Lakewood tonight.
Anyway, we spent much of the day at the outdoor stages but we parted way when Dark Meat performed. I've seen them once and well that was enough. And that is how it is with that band. You either love them or you hate them. I headed over to Caledonia Lounge to see Producto and The Golden Gates, the latter featuring my friends from The Empties (who are playing tonight at midnight at Tasty World) Peter Alvanos on drums and Chris Giddens on guitar.

Something positive for a change
Submitted by Ann Marie Miani on Thu, 04/24/2008 - 2:09pm.I’m going to take a break from our regularly scheduled griping about franking and speed limits and talk about something positive today. Honestly, it’s actually proving fairly difficult to talk about something positive. Guess being negative just comes easier to a journalist.
In a day and age when people seem to care more about a college football game than their fellow man, it's nice to see a group of students who are trying to help the larger world around them.
This group of University of Georgia students called Global Endeavors is going to Ghana this summer to try and help bring modern medical facilities to the people.
