Org.’s e-magazine ‘really building up’

By on February 3, 2012

Editor’s note: For the next in “Busy Business,” we spotlight an on-campus, Terry-based magazine.   Valdano Besic’s vision was simple: make a magazine by students, for students and about students. “UGA didn’t really have any magazine that focused on entertainment, fashion, sports, television and music in terms of the business aspect of it,” he said.

Sisters Creole, a local restaurant specializing in New Orleans-inspired dishes and service, was the idea of one sister, and became a reality with the support of two others. evan stichler/Staff

New Orleans eatery offers easy flavor

By on February 3, 2012

Editor’s note: For the next in “Eating Out,” her semimonthly column discussing and dissecting restaurants downtown and around, Nat Fort takes a look at Sisters Creole.   In early March of last year, two sisters made their sister’s dream come true. “Carla has always wanted to have a little restaurant where she could cook, serve [...]

John French is funding his latest CD in a standard way – through donations, through the website Kickstarter — but with a most peculiar side-goal: if the album is a-go, it will do so complemented with art by French’s friends and fellow locals. Courtesy Cassie Robinson

Writers, artists inspired by musician’s album-in-the-making

By on February 3, 2012

Collaboration is the new lonely. John French and a handful of local musicians and artists aim to create together — but they need help. Local band John French & the Bastilles have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for its new album. This album, however, will go far past just music, incorporating complementary artworks [...]

MovieFest mayhem reigns (w/video)

By on February 2, 2012

Editor’s note: Jason Flynn decided to shoot a film for the Campus MovieFest. Then he realized, through practice, that was a horrible idea. And then he decided to write about it. Everybody wants to be a movie star. At least, everybody has whimsically considered being a part of a movie. So when Campus MovieFest came [...]

Festival explores masculinity with ‘little bit of everything’

By on February 2, 2012

Students can travel to Kung Fu Island with the “super bad” and “outta sight” title character of “Black Dynamite.” Along the way, they might also learn something about race. Like a roundhouse kick to the face, the Institute for African American Studies is breaking through stereotypes with the African Diaspora Film Festival this month. The [...]

Corduroy Road returns to old campfires with new members

By on February 2, 2012

Last year, The Corduroy Road died. Now it’s back: same name different band. With three new members out of five, more has changed than has stayed the same. While some members of the band moved on to different goals, the passion for playing never left Drew Carman, the band’s vocalist and guitarist, and Elijah NeeSmith, [...]

“Young Adult”

Now Showing! — “Young Adult”

By on February 2, 2012

Do you remember the girls at your high school who won “Best Hair,” “Best Dressed” or were half of the “Best Couple?” Diablo Cody does, and if “Young Adult” is any indication, she didn’t think too highly of them. Charlize Theron plays Mavis Gary, a shallow, urbanite author of young adult novels in the vain [...]

Anvil helped pioneer heavy metal as a genre several decades ago. But unlike Metallica or Black Sabbath, the group was never immortalized for its work. Still, that hasn’t kept it from keeping on — both in the studio, with 14 albums, and on the road. Courtesy Dalila Kriheli

Anvil looks to what went right in past

By on February 2, 2012

Anvil is the Cinderella of heavy metal. Despite having the looks, sound and ambition of its more popular sisters such as Metallica, Motörhead and Black Sabbath, Anvil never quite managed to achieve the same status as those early-heavy metal groups. But vocalist and guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow prefers to think about what went right, even [...]
