Next to Last Songs
Listening Party and
2010 Festival Fundraiser
White Tiger Gourmet
There are several good rea
sons to show up at White Tiger
Gourmet (on Hiawassee, off of
Boulevard) on Friday, which is
why it's likely that fundrais
ing efforts for the 2010 Next
to Last Festival will get off to
a fine start. Festival organizer
Will Donaldson has exerted much
effort to pack the night with
compelling audio/visual spring
boards from which to launch the
imagination and expand
circle. And what's this?
are prizes, too? Indeed. Several
of which are donations from
Asthmatic Kitty, the label respon- Theo Hilton
sible for distributing creations
from indie-rock heavyweights like Sufjan Stevens (and several other talented artists).
The festivities kick off promptly at 6 p.m., ac which time the Next to Last Songs com
pilation (recorded mostly by Donaldson at the 2006 and 2007 Next to Last Festivals, and
also conveniently for sale exclusively on site for $5 a pop in a limited run of 50 hand
made copies) will be played in its entirety. During this time, the White Tiger kitchen will
be open and accepting orders for their (expletive deleted)-good cuisine, and the visual
art patrons of the city will be afforded the opportunity to check out some interesting
photographs from Donaldson and Athens/Chicago resident Todd Diederich, as well as a
few drawings a,nd prints from Florida-escapee Heather Kohlberger.
When the CD has run to completion, guests will find themselves only at the apex of
the evening's events schedule, however; acoustic performances from Nana Grizol’s Theo
Hilton and Mousey's Colby Carter are set to take folks down the home stretch, and if
past experiences provide reliable data, these should be some pleasant sets from two busy
Athens musicians.
Show up around 6 p.m. to hear the compilation, and bring a few extra dollars to
spread around the community like seeds, so we can grow more nice things of this nature.
