T here’s only one Elvis. And that’s Elvis Costello, the
British rocker who made melancholy cool and got me
through those angst-filled college years when I was a
twentysomething Generation X-er and didn’t know it.
This week, Elvis plays his old and new stuff at Chastain
Park in one of the coolest line-ups of the summer. That
Canadian band, Crash Test Dummies opens for the king.
The Dummies are relatively new to the Making It Big scene
and are sometimes
referred to as a
“thinking man’s
R.E.M.” They’ve
got a style all their
own. Who else can
name a song the let
ter “m” and get
away with it? Sun
day, June 19 under
the stars with your
feet kicked up on
your very own
cooler. Outdoor
amphitheaters were
made for nights
like this. 249-6400.
The Georgia
Shakespeare Fes
tival is at it again.
They began their
ninth season earlier
Elvis Costello in concert at this month with an
Chastain Park, June 19. encore perfor
mance of SHREW:
The Musical, last season’s runaway comedy hit. The out
door festival, which takes place under a circus tent at
Oglethorpe University, features picnic gardens, pre-show
entertainment and on-site catering.
Opening Friday, June 17 is “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream.” Also look for “The Merchant of Venice” and “The
Imaginary Invalid” (by Molier) in the Festival Season run
ning through August 7. Call their box office for specifics,
264-0020. •
They say Shakespeare himself was gay, but I’m not sure
who says that. Historians or other gay people? Either way,
one man who is gay and who has laid his life on the line
because of it is Dr. Luiz Mott. Amnesty International Group
75, the Atlanta chapter of the worldwide human rights orga
nization is sponsoring the Brazilian professor on his 8-city
lecturing tour of the United States. Dr. Mott will speak on
his experience documenting human rights abuses against
gay men and lesbians in Brazil—including some 1,200 mur
ders committed since 1980. Friday, June 17, 7:30pm at the
First Existentialist Congregation of Atlanta in Candler Park.
This event is free and open to the public.
Congratulations go out to Amnesty International for their
campaign, “Breaking the Silence” specifically aimed toward
putting an end to human rights violations based on sexual
orientation.
An interesting comparative experience might be a meet
ing with Michelangelo Signorile, author of “Queer in
America,” Signorile will be signing copies of his recent
book at Outwrite Books, Midtown Promenade 7:30-8:30pm
Sunday, June 19, and Oxford Books, Pharr Road, 7-8:30pm
Monday, June 20.
Be “Footloose and Smoke-Free with the AFWC;” why
do I feel like a cheerleader just now. That’s the Atlanta
Feminist Women’s Chorus and they invite everyone to join
them for country western dancing at the First Existentialist
Congregation every Wednesday in June. Learn to lead and/
or follow. Two-step lessons at 7:30pm, open dancing at
8:00pm.
Tuesday, June 21, is comedy Tuesday at Revolution.
The already popular bar continues to make strides by intro
ducing a weekly lighter side to the increasingly political
aspects of being gay or lesbian; or should I say: come to
Revolution on Tuesdays; it’s fun for the heterosexually chal
lenged.
And if that’s not enough of a laugh, be sure to attend
some part of the 18th Annual Atlanta Film and Video Festi
val running through June 20. My favorite, cartoons, will be
shown Thursday, June 6 at the Garden Hilis Cinema at 2835
Peachtree. What is actually very sophisticated animation
will include Karl Steven’s “The Critic(s),” Lynn Smith’s
“Pearl’s Diner,” and Yaron Zohar’s “Sexual Disarray Among
Non-Secular Buddhist Monks.” Just when you think you’ve
seen it all.
Are you a slave to fashion? Who’s not, really. Whether
you don wigs, sequins, Wranglers, leather chaps, or just
clothes, 800 East, the Multidisciplinary Art Center with the
address on its name is presenting a rare one-day-only exhibit
on Friday, June 18, entitled Slaves to Fashion. The mixed
media exhibit by Charlotte, NC artist Willie Little, as a
reviewer noted in a Cleveland Gallery, “eloquently requires
us to reexamine the tyranny of the American Beauty Cul
ture.”
Mr. Little’s work is being exhibited in conjunction with
the Supra Natural Style Show, 1994. It’s an evening that
features the work of a dozen fashion designers, hundreds of
models, performers and a pulsing groove of a DJ duo and
two bands, Swirl and Harper Fragment. Not to mention the
hostesses, trapeze artists, and jugglers. Who knew all this
was going on? Thanks for the tip, DISH.
