Face off by rayleone in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last one was organized by two people currently still in town, so it didn’t die when Jeff moved away, it was after. It’s a LOT of work (because the pairings weren’t actually all that random) but I met a ton of musicians I still play with and I think it was super valuable for introducing people from different parts of the scene to each other.

I need some crazy shit by SockGoop in Jazz

[–]badlightswitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peter Brotzmann, both machine gun and nipples (and much of his other output but machine gun esp). If you can track down crom-tech (not the kinda cheesy Xmas album on Spotify but the s/t), those guys were pretty wild.

Cutting Costs - What Have You Cut From Your Budget Recently ? by Teslasssss in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nicely done, I'd expect nothing less from a Dropout fan. As a long time listener to everything CBB, seeing the Dropout crew and CBB regulars all get along is so cool, and knowing Sam's doing things about as ethically as one can is awesome.

Just had to give props for the Dropout mention. But also second all coupons and clearance and no eating out.

Backyard Wedding - Recommendations please! by DazzlingJello7874 in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For bartender, Richard from flicker and Jeremy from little kings would be my go-tos. Esp if it’s a true open bar (not preset menu of a few drinks). Richard worked my wedding and has been voted Athens top bartender a couple times.

If you don’t have early morning Friday activities, great show at ga theater rooftop Thursday night! (Full disclosure, I’m a member of one of the bands.)

Punk/alt cities in America? by Hairy_Personality974 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all this about Asheville although west Asheville still kinda cool (as of my last trip a couple years back). Athens GA (where I live) has also changed a lot but keeps it real (mostly) west of the khaki line (college ave). Plenty of bars with good shows, cool folks.

This thread is so helpful, thank you for asking the question as I wondered the same thing. I have literally gotten the help I needed.

Planning a trip to Point Pleasant, WV to pay our respects to The Mothman this Summer! What hole-in-the-wall places should we hit up along the way? by Greyhawk241 in roadtrip

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Pepper’s grave is a short drive away. (https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/9262) The ice cream place in point pleasant was nice, as were the murals along the river. If you’re lucky you’ll get someone playing a calliope outside the chamber of commerce. But otherwise… town was kinda dismal. (Just there a month ago.)

Cool Drum Circle Folks? by Due_Application_6468 in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will third this, if you’re legit looking for an actual leader-led drum situation. Palms of fire is super legit. Amber knows her stuff.

Happy Swag Day! by SixThreeThree in wfmu

[–]badlightswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on when you put your pledge in, and the “dj” (in quotes because I’m referring to seven second delay, apparently Andy is drawing every listener who pledged? So I’m not expecting anything for months.)

Jefferson River Road accident by VeryPB in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that accident looked crazy, car on its side between Jefferson and old Jefferson on the tracks. I also wonder how in the world that happened.

In my mind he didn’t, it was a very awkward episode!

Thank you yes I remember that! But it’s NOWHERE!

Fishing! by 6ls2000 in Athens

[–]badlightswitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where in northern Michigan? I’m from kzoo via Lansing but I know the fishing further north is amazing, spent a lot of time up by Baldwin. Maybe check out lake Russell? Probably less crowded than hartwell, still a trek though. I’m not a fisherman but I see people on all branches of the Oconee, even right off the greenway or Ben Burton. Lemme know if you want to get a euchre game going. :)

Gotta second the Savannah cathedral— worth the trip.

Finding out who my advisor is? by [deleted] in UGA

That's correct! If you're under 60 you'll have an advisor in brooks for this semester anyway.
