Idea For Athfest

January 14, 2013

I have an idea for Athfest...

Each year have a special guest host (as famous and cool as possible) it could be a musician, band or other artist. They would be crowned the Queen or King of Athfest and be given the 'Athfest Key to the City', which would be a Gibson SG. At that point they would give a little lecture about their personal story pertaining to the arts and their own biography.
They would do a finale show for Athfest and/or a Classic Center performance (which would probably require a $5 charge in addition to the Athfest bracelet).

The point of all this is to put a crown on the event, that would get some national coverage.

South by Southwest had Springsteen do this routine last time, maybe we could get John Cougar Mellencamp!

Ideally the host would be a good sport and show up at some other events and announce, or even sit in with a few bands.

That would be fun.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
