Woo... AthFest!... kinda.

Note: The above flyer is actually for tomorrow night's show, but other than that and the difference in time and missing an act, it's totally accurate for tonight. Basically, I'm too lazy for Photoshop right now.

Our friend Pete McBrayer sent the following heads up:

Pete McBrayer, Comedy Genius
Mother Jackson
Don Chambers

Flicker Theatre & Bar
Wednesday, June 21
8:30 PM
$3

It's a dress rehearsal for our late-night Thursday show. I'll be performing my full standup routine "100 Jokes", Mother Jackson will be playing in various combinations, and we'll have a "special guest" Don Chambers for a couple of songs.

Thanks for the heads up, Pete! For music fans, there's also The Late B.P. Helium, Madeline and a few others at the Caledonia. And Still, Small Voice & The Joyful Noise at Tasty World. Oh, and Mother's Finest at the Melting Point for all those who want a piece of the rock. More here.

For film fans, AthFest officially kicks off tonight with the Sprockets Film & Video Festival at the 40 Watt featuring lots of your favorite local acts' music videos. The winners will be played at the F'pole Music Awards tomorrow night. Also, before that there's a special screening of Tony Gayton's film Two-Headed Cow, about Dexter Romwebber as well as a anniversary highlights segment and Q&A for Athens, GA Inside/Out. As I write this, the new F'pole's not online, but there's a Romwebber story there somewhere. All of this starts around 8PM and is presented by Film::Athens.

Damn that's a lot going on.
