TGIF
BEST BET
Tonight, Gainesville College will be presenting a special concert
for all college students featuring Widespread Panic. Tickets are
$5 with a student ID, $8 for non-students. The concert will be at
7:30 pm In downtown Gainesville, Ga. near the Town Square.
It’s bewitching time in Athens — freaks are ready to roll
TATE CENTER THEATER
• Oct. 26-27: Akira. A dazzling,
densely animated film about rival
bike gangs in cyberpunk Japan.
Extremely violent, but still essential
viewing.
• midnight: Heavy Metal. This Is a
tragic waste of talent and celluloid.
Some of the finest cartoon talents of
the late 70s banded together to
produce a sophomoric sci-fi sex
fantasy. Worth seeing only if you're
into cartoon breasts., and I don’t
mean that to sound titilating.
• Oct. 28: Vampires In Havana. A
scientist invents a formula to let
vampires stay out in the daytime and
the Vampire Mafia wants It. An
animated good time in a foreign
language (with subtitles).
• Oct. 31: Elvira: Mistress of the
Dark. A goofy movie, but I understand
there's prizes involved. Be there in
costume.
• Nov. 1: Gone with the Wind. Go
ahead, shoot me if you want, but I
think this movie is annoying. It's way
too long and the characters are hard
to like.
MOVIES IN TOWN
ALPS
• Days of Thunder. A movie that lacks
the courage to tell a straight story
about auto racing. The subject matter
is glitzed up to unbelievable
proportions and pumped through with
cliches. You know a movie's in
trouble when halfway through it you
start thinking of goofy names for it:
"Daze of Thunder," "Doze of
Thunder,” etc.
• Duck Tales. The kids will enjoy this
more than "Fantasia."
CLASSIC TRIPLE
• Ghost. If I have to hear "Unchained
Melody" one more time, I swear to
God I’ll crack.
• Night of the Living Dead. A cover
AFTER HOURS
version of the Romero classic.
• Funny About Love. Lousy Movie
Resurrection III — What’s the
Classic's point?
GEORGIA SQUARE
• Flatllners. I'm convinced this
movie's gonna stick around 'til I say
something nice about it. Okay. The
cinematography's neat. Now go
away.
• Fantasia. Reason 4 to see this
movie — legions of men with lightbulb
heads, marching up to heaven.
• Postcards from the Edge. This
movie is an endorphin rush.
• White Hunter, Black Heart. This
Clint Eastwood interpretation of a
John Huston safari has been
universally admired, but scarcely
praised. Nice to have the opportunity
to see it, though.
• Memphis Belle. Fair war film with a
crippling fear of irony. For an
interesting comparison, rent "Das
Boot” ( a.k.a."The Boat,” for
foreignphobes). Similar story, set in a
submarine. Leagues better.
• Marked for Death. To|>grossing
movie last week. Wow. We are very
near the end of civilization, aren't
we?
• Pacific Heights. Very peaceful.
• White Palace. Susan Sarandon /
James Spader love story. Looks like it
might be okay.
• Sibling Rivalry. Kirstie Alley is
generally a cinematic disaster. In this
movie, a man she sleeps with dies.
Shenanigans abound.
LEFONT BEECHWOOD
• Mr. Destiny. Cross "Reid of
Dreams" with "It's a Wonderful Life”
and whaddaya get? Jim Belushi,
unfortunately.
• Quigley Down Under. The latest
Tom Selleck opus. Y’know, maybe
Tom Selleck, Kirstie Alley and Jim
Belushi could do a movie together.
Yeah. And there could be, like a fire
on the set. Yeah!
• Graveyard Shift. Adaptation of a
creepy Stephen King short story that
gives King the perfect opportunity to
rename his first short story collection
"Graveyard Shift" and schlepp a few
more copies.
• Henry and June. First NC-17 movie
to play in Athens. This cerebral film
has been alternately called erotic and
icy. In other words, don't go just for
the sex.

MUSIC IN TOWN
40 WATT
• Oct. 26: Mercyland and Needle.
Mercyland boots much heiny (or is it
heinie?)
• Oct. 27: S/8. Maybe you can tell
something about a band by the songs
they cover. This excellent power trio
does Velvet Underground's "Can’t
Stand It," Husker Du's "Celebrated
Summer," Led Zeppelin’s
"Communication Breakdown" and
occasionally Bruce Springsteen's
"Johnny 99." Hmmmmmm. Well,
kinda.
• Oct. 29: Mike Church Disco. Ya
got a problem? Yo, I’ll solve it. Check
out the hook while my DJ revolves it.
• Oct. 30: Bloodkin and Klllblllles.
The first of a three-night series of
rural rockers. These two bands rock
the hardest.
• Oct. 31: Chickasaw Mudd
Puppies. What can I say about the
Pupps that hasn't been said before?
A backwoods hoedown with a serious
Stonesy twist. Wait, I think that's
been said before. Curses!
• Nov. 1: Uncle Tupelo. This St.
Louis band deserves a BIG crowd.
Their latest album, "No Depression,"
is an amazing combination of Johnny
Cash and a 747. They roar with heart.
Show of the week, hands down.
GEORGIA THEATRE
• Oct. 26: Allgood Music Co. Not the
most accurate name for this band.
• Oct. 27: Wet Willie. Classic blues
from one of the masters.
• Oct. 31: Widespread Panic. Above
average Dead-influenced rock, which
is a lot like saying above average
pabulum.
CLUB FRED
• Oct. 26: Earthworms.
• Oct. 27: Bob.
ROCKFISH PALACE
• Oct. 26: Seven Simons and
Mombo Fury. The Simons used to be
one of Athens's most compelling
bands, but their recent material
seems to have lost a sense of
melody. Don't write 'em off, but be
cautious.
• Oct. 27: The Healers.
• Oct. 29: Homemade Sister.
• Oct. 31: Follow For Now and
Mombo Fury. FFN rock the house, as
per usual.
DOWNSTAIRS
• Oct. 26: Vigilantes of Love. Might
be interesting to compare these
songs with the one's Dylan will be
singing on Sunday. The Vigilantes
sound a little like early Dylan, but the
music is less interesting.
• Oct. 27: Bolnk Dee Deek and Big
Brick Building.
• Oct. 29: Crowsdell and Red Letter
Day.
• Oct. 30: The Relevant Squad with
Peter Magus.
• Oct. 31: Labrea Stompers 3rd
Annual Cuss Tune Ball with special
guests The Wogglos. There's a lot of
good stuff going on this Halloween,
but this looks the most promising.
Pure, ecstatic fun with the least
chance of personal injury.
• Nov. 1: The Klllblllys.
Clint Eastwood: Stars in ‘White Hunter, Black Heart'
playing at Georgia Square.
UNIVERSITY UNION
• Oct. 28: Bob Dylan. Pretty big coup
for Contemporary Concerts.
Supposedly, Dylan is an iffy
proposition. Sometimes, he comes
out, gives his all and is totally
stunning. Other times, he plays his
old stuff by rote without much life.
Still, when's he ever gonna come
back to Athens? This is a rare
opportunity. Tickets are still
available.

Ginkgo Jamboree provides golden weekend
By DEV JARRETT
Contributing Writer
It’s not the 50th anniversary of
Kinko's copy shop. Nor is it a fes
tival of metallic vellow geckos.
It’s the Golden Ginkgo Jam
boree, a fall arts and crafts festival
which will be held downtown this
weekend.
The ginkgo is the official tree of
Athens. In fall its leaves change
from green to bright gold, then the
leaves fall quickly — the best ef
fects can only be witnessed for two
or three days each year. Tire
ginkgo trees have behaved this
way forever, but the festival only
started in 1982.
The Jamboree itself takes place
this Friday and Saturday ana will
include an arts and crafts show,
country and folk music performers
in the afternoon and the State
Championship Athens Biathlon on
Saturday morning. There will also
be a 50th anniversary celebration
of the Peabody Awards and the
second annual Greater Athens
Chili Cookoff on Saturday.
The folk and country lineup in
cludes Southern Crescent, the
Bullfrog Cloggers, the Warblers,
Chris White and Mule and many
others.
For those of a more masochistic
sort, the biathlon on Saturday will
present a scenic challenge consis
ting of a 5K run starting from
O’Malley’s, a 38K bike race and an
other 5K run for the return to the
starting point.
The exhibit and celebration in
honor of the 50th anniversay of
Georgia’s Peabody Awards should
interest art lovers. The exhibit is in
the Park Plaza Building at the
comer of Clayton and Jackson and
is open to the public.
With all of this activity, people
are bound to grow hungry. On
Friday, the peckish will have to
fend for themselves, but on Sat
urday they can attend the beans-
and-spice explosion masquerading
as the Greater Athens Chili Coo
koff.
Over 50 cooking teams, armed
with culinary expertise and
cayenne pepper, will prepare
booths for the occasion, but only
one team will earn the title of Best
Chili in Athens. This team will be
allowed to brng, boast, gloat and
generally comport themselves in
any manner they deem appro
priate.
Carol Brown, of the Athens
Downtown Council, said that last
year the chili cookoff booth decora
tions were both elaborate and fit
ting. One booth was a replica of an

Greater Athens Chill
Cookoff.
old West cantina and even had
those cool batwing doors.
The Jamboree will be kicking
out all the stops. Go and walk on a
golden carpet of newly-fallen
ginkgo leaves. Er\joy the activities
and celebrate the offi
in of autumn.
