Packway Handle Band bettered by competition Telluride losses shape show style By SHAWN JARRARO The Red & Buck Packway Handle Band knows that in the music business, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side sometimes it’s blue. "The standardization of what one would expect from a normal job Is not the same," guitarist Josh Erwin said. "I guess I didn’t really expect that, And that makes It appealing also, because it’s not this straight job. It’s a total ‘it is what you make of it’ sort of thing."

Green to the lineup was supposed to be the cure-all to Georgia’s offensive inadequacies this season. With arguably the top receiver in the country back in the fold, Georgia’s passing attack could be far more aggressive.

All proceeds from the project went to benefit AIDS Athens. “Caesar Dawgustus was bought by Phil Hughes Honda,” said Julie Walters, an Athens-Oconee Junior Women’s Club member who was co-chair of the project when it began in 2003. “We put the dogs out on display and we had to go out in front of the city to put them on the right-of ways." Walters said new homes for the dogs had to be found before the club's dis play contract with the city ends on Dec. 31. “We chose this past weekend [to move the dogs] because it wasn’t a home game,” she said, add ing the volunteers were See DOGS, Page 2 PACKWAY HANDLE BAND Whsrs: Ashford Manor When: Tonight at 6 Cost: sls mer, almost a vacation in a way,” Erwin said. “And we were doing this stuff, driving in the van like 18 hours, driving all night playing and then driving in the middle of the night going back, crashing all day.” The band placed fourth in the competition, and returned to Telluride in 2003 and 2004 to com pete again, finishing third and sec ond respectively.
