Civics & Punque Rock Pt. 1: The skaters are back out at what they optimistically used to call the Skate Park of Athens. When the new owner of the lot
builds on it, where are the skaters going to go? '
Civics & Punque Rock Pt. 2: Promoting Athens’ inherent Athens-ness via its music scene is an inherently weird idea, though not necessarily a bad one.
Still, how long did the BBQ Killers have to stay broken up before Jared Bailey could convince the city tnat it was safe to have a “KidsFest" at AthFest?
The Guy Who Makes Your Sandwich is Big in Finland Dept.: Alternative Press has a big though selective spread on the Athens scene past and present
in its August issue.
Respecting the myth that everyone in this town is both brilliant and in a band, a housekeeping note' Ballard Lesemann, ABC writer and object of your
eternal derision/lust/misplaced political hopes, is touring with Cabbagetown ne’er-do-wells the Rock*A*Teens through August. Until then, send threats and
club listing information c/o John Britt. (And Melissa Link will be covering Movie Dope for Ballard.)
Thanks to the folks who conspired to create this week's cover; artist Cavin at Midnight Iguana Tattooing, photographer Christine Harness, and
Ftaqpote's own Kate Moss Fo r A Day, writer/model Matt Amundsen.
