Wild Rumpus 3
Downtown Athens
There's no better
character than local
musician Timi Conley
(of Kite to the Moon/
Abbey Road Live/ Pigs
on the Wing) to lead
a parade of people
in costumes through
the streets of Athens.
Clad in his trademark
feather-adorned hat,
he excitedly bubbles on
about the event, aptly
named "Wild Rumpus
Parade & Spectacle."
Inspired by the wealth
of creativity in Athens, me m wmmmmmmmmmmmmm imii —■
Conley hopes that the
event will be an opportunity for locals to showcase their wild sides.
The inaugural Wild Rumpus took place on a cold, rainy Halloween eve in 2009. "I
didn't think anyone was gonna be there," says Conley. "I almost didn't show up... So, I
was like, all right, if it's just 10 people I'll just go, and it will be a 10-person parade. But
then it turned out to be 200 or 300 people in the rain!"
Last year, Conley anticipated a turnout of 500 people and was happily shocked when
2,000 people crowded the downtown streets for the Rumpus. This year, he has no idea
what to expect. Considering its exponential growth in the first two years and the incred
ible lineup of bands involved, it is safe to bet that it will be a greater success than ever.
This year's parade will depart from the parking lot at the comer of Pulaski and Clayton
streets at 8 p.m. After snaking around town, the party culminates at the Georgia Theatre
with a show featuring live performances by San Francisco's Beats Antique and local
favorites Packway Handle Band (performing a bluegrass acoustic DEVO tribute). Kite
to the Moon (doing some Bowie tunes), hip-hop fusion Showtime featuring Elite tha
Showstoppa and acrobatic pole dancing by The Tiger Girtz. A portion of the proceeds will
be donated to the Institute for Wild Intelligence, a non-profit group promoting sustain
ability and nature awareness.
Participating is as easy as arriving in costume and, if you'd like, bring a drum or per
cussive instrument to bang on while you march. "The more rumpus the better!" exclaims
Conley. Specific participation guidelines can be found online at wildrumpus.org. [Jodi
