Eccentric Mommies
From the eccentric haven of San Francisco, a truly remarkable alternative band, The
Mommyheads, will arrive in Athens at The Downstairs, this Thursday. Oct. 17. Masters of
absurd improvisations, songs in a raga psychedelic mode, and blissful purveyors of a
great cassette on Fang Records titled Acorns, yes ladies and gentlemen, let it be said, The
Mommyheads will blow you away. Bluesy folksmger, Melanie Hammet, opens the show so
don't be a square and miss a deserving out-of-town band at the Downstairs on Thursday.

Elissa and the gang, better known as Lenny, will be
p'aying at the GATH Thursday, Nov 17 in a joint show

ing event — two great bands with completely different
sounds. Heavy duty rock and roll and bottomed out
reggae all in one night. How can you pass it up?

Mule for a day
It is a 56 acre working plantation. They
have cows, horses, and mules (of course)
and grow hay, garden crops, and flowers.
Open to visitors March 1 to December 15,
10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the plantation, with its
Brick House and Grey House and School
House and Log House and Smoke House,
shows the way real
people really lived in
the South back when
an entire plantation
was powered by
mules.
But, where did Mule
Day come from? He
said, “It came out of
my head." He de
scribed it as a “primi
tive craft show; the
more primitive, the bet
ter." And that was as
far as the explanation
went. Between the
woman towering over
a boiling pot making
lard, the clown parad
ing around with "Blaze
the Wonder Goat"
making balloon sculp
tures, and the field
filled with people milling around a line of
mules, I finally came to my own conclusion
about what Mule Day is. It’s a reason for old
friends and curiosity seekers to get to
gether, look at a lot of animals, see the old-
timey ways of the plantation, mill about, and
share stories. So if you missed it this year,
the 12th annual Mule Day at the Calloway
Plantation awaits. And don’t think it’s only
for mules.
The thing about Mule Day (which I went
to and liked)...
The directions on the poster were vague,
“5 miles west of Washington, Georgia on
U.S. 78." There, bright and early on the
Calloway Plantation, the 11th Annual Mule
Day festivities had already begun as I
dragged out of bed the
morning of Saturday,
Oct. 12 and plodded
to my car, determined
to find out what such
an event entailed. Or
actually, my biggest
question was just
"Why?".
Well, I found it. Now
I had to find someone
official who could tell
me about it. Described
as a "tall, thin, older
man" by a woman at
the concession stand,
the mastermind of
Mule Day, was roam
ing about the planta
tion, along with a
number of other
people who by chance
fit the same descrip
tion. She told me, “Just go around and ask
folks where Turner Bryson is and someone
will know." More vague directions. They
worked, though.
Dr. Bryson sat down in a rocking chair
and proceeded to tell me all about Calloway
Plantation. He’s the General Manager, which
means he's pretty much a landlord, saying
it doesn’t mean much "unless the septic
tank isn't working or the cows get lose."
