The Stage on Bay: After the fall BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

THERE ARE a lot of lessons to be learned from the imminent shuttering of The Stage on Bay, a live music venue in West Savannah which has for all intents and purposes closed down — not with a bang, but with a whimper. The venue recently said it has “temporarily suspended operations,” but it had effectively suspended operations weeks earlier, when most of its listed calendar of shows went Off Sale. Unfortunately many people will learn the wrong lessons from the cautionary tale. The story began in early 2017, when City Council did its level best to keep the new

and will never threaten to sue the City, as The Stage on Bay was eventually forced to do in order to open. Whether the Arena is a success or a failure, taxpayers will subsidize it for the next several decades regardless. To be fair, The Stage on Bay didn’t do itself many favors in the meantime. Over the past few months, public confidence eroded massively each time the venue posted a cancellation notice just a few hours before showtime. Eventually, the regular day-of-show cancellations on its Facebook page almost became a running joke. I say “almost,” because one of the things I’ve been struck by is the poignant hopingagainst-hope of the music fans who followed the venue’s offerings. It’s painful to see such a simple, plaintive request — for a functioning, all-ages, mid-size music venue — go unrequited.

• The Savannah Philharmonic thrives here despite so many markets of this size failing to support any symphony orchestra at all, much less one of this high quality. • Live music clubs like The Jinx, ElRocko, Barrelhouse South, and more provide a solid calendar of often well-attended shows downtown. • Country shows packed in large crowds at Grayson Stadium this past summer. What sets these successful live music entities apart? At the top of the list are: 1. Good management. 2. Easily accessible locations. 3. Content is King: The talent booked is high-quality in its various genres. If “Savannah won’t support live music,” how do you explain the above success stories, just off the top of my head? But unfortunately, the way The Stage on Bay was treated by the City, combined with the mistakes made by the venue itself,

In the end, The Stage on Bay’s main problem was probably the same issue that critics of the Arena point out: Its location. business from opening in the Hudson Hill neighborhood. Though owner Charles Schmitt satisfied all legal requirements for an alcohol license — a necessity for the venue to turn any kind of profit — Alderman Van Johnson and neighborhood leaders spoke out against it. Only one alderman, Julian Miller, voted to allow the venue what it was entitled to by law. “This venue is a win/win somewhere else, but a lose/lose in this location,” Van Johnson said at the time. Though the new business would revitalize a former warehouse in an impoverished area, much of the neighborhood seemed to feel that The Stage on Bay’s transient and irregular crowd, many of whom would be imbibing, was a bad fit. Alderman Johnson’s First District is home to both The Stage on Bay and the future site of the Savannah Arena. The core market for the Arena, which Johnson strongly supports, is also….... a transient and irregular crowd, many of whom will be imbibing, just as with The Stage on Bay. Johnson certainly seems to have been right about his original assessment of the viability of The Stage on Bay. But what does that say about the Arena? The difference of course is that the Arena is taxpayer-funded, governmentcontrolled, will never go out of business,

While it’s been obvious for months that the venue was on life support, many fans remained in denial despite the flow of cancellations and various problems securing a refund through Ticketfly, the ticket vendor of choice. The often-problematic sound system was also a major issue for patrons and bands alike. (If there’s one concrete practical lesson to learn from this, it’s to not cut corners on your sound system.) On a lesser, but still relevant note: In an increasingly festival-driven live music scene where the selection of craft beer is sometimes almost as important as the bands, The Stage on Bay’s beer offerings were as stale and dated as some of the nostalgia acts they booked. But in the end, The Stage on Bay’s main problem was probably the same issue that critics of the Arena point out: Its location off the beaten path. I’ve read and heard many comments to the effect that, “Savannah won’t support live music. That’s just how it is here.” Yet, our cultural scene is full of examples to the contrary: • Savannah Stopover is a smashing success in the indie/alternative world. • AURA Fest is a successful all-ages hardcore/metal festival. • Revival Fest brings a crowd to the Roundhouse for Americana/blues. • The Savannah Music Festival provides top-tier musicianship to sold-out crowds.

will only serve to cement the long-held — if obsolete and unfair — notion in much of the industry that Savannah is a tour stop that is sometimes best skipped over. Meanwhile, Savannah has lost an example of the thing that eluded it for so long: An all-ages live music venue of the type common in other cities but which is on par with a UFO sighting here (not least because of the city’s generally obsessive focus on alcohol consumption). This kind of venue is crucial, even mandatory, in building and maintaining a true local music scene from the grassroots. If there’s nowhere for young bands to play, or for young people to see bands they want to emulate before they turn 21 and are already off at college, the scene dies stillborn. Elected officials and community leaders complain so often about there not being enough for young people to do here. And then when that rare bird does come along — an honest-to-goodness, all-ages music venue — they do their best to keep it from taking flight. The news isn’t all bad. There are a couple of new venues in the works in the Midtown area which might be able to more adequately fill the void. Connect Savannah will be behind them in spirit, and will give them the same benefit of the doubt we extended to The Stage on Bay —which the City of Savannah government itself refused to do. CS

Historic ballast stones taken from downtown development for private sale on Facebook Developer disputes employee’s account that he had permission to remove them from 630 Indian Street project

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

CONNECT SAVANNAH | AUG 29-SEP 4, 2018

WHEN CRITICS say that Savannah’s history is being sold one brick at a time, they’re usually being metaphorical. But that was literally the case recently, when an employee on the construction site of a massive, 1.7-acre new development on Indian Street near the waterfront was selling irreplaceable, centuries-old historic ballast stones on Facebook, after taking them home from the job site. The site is future home of 630 Indian Street, a seven-story apartment building housing 275 upscale units, built by Spandrel Development. Savannah Police say that Kevin Cox with Freese Johnson Construction took the bricks home in an effort to save them from the landfill. “Mr. Cox simply requested that he be allowed to take a load of them home rather than having all of them go to the landfill,” the police detective’s report says, concluding that no action should be taken. However, screenshots that he and his wife Pam Cox posted to the Pooler Yard Sale Facebook page indicate that it was a money-making effort for the couple rather than an altruistic crusade for historic preservation. “These granite stones will make wonderful patios, walkways, mailboxes, flower bed boxes… and so much more,” Pam Cox wrote in the Facebook post. “Email if you are interested in owning a part of Savannah history and we will provide our address…. Come prepared to get sweaty and dirty, and drive something in which you can safely transport them,” Cox writes. “50 cents each or $10 for 5, $20 for 10, $30 for 15, $40 for 18, $50 for 20 and greater discounts for larger quantities,” she writes. The post has a photo of the Chart House restaurant on River Street as an example of the kind of stones the customers should expect to see. Cox told police he’d been given permission to take the ballast stones home by the Assistant Superintendent for the site. But a statement we received from Freese Johnson says the company didn’t and 10 doesn’t condone the practice.

Screenshots from the Pooler Online Yard Sale Facebook page.

“An employee of ours, not realizing the implications, apparently removed some stones from an on site driveway and attempted to sell them via Facebook,” Rodger Forseman, President of Freese Johnson, tells Connect. “He did not make this company, nor Spandrel Development, aware of his intent and obviously did not request permission,” Foresman tells us. “No material was sold and we are in the process of returning the material to the site…. As this was one of our employees, of course, Freese Johnson is ultimately responsible. All we can ask is that this issue in no way reflects poorly on Spandrel Development or the project as a whole,” Foresman concludes. An executive with Spandrel, the actual developer of the project, tells us: “Spandrel Development had no prior knowledge nor gave any type of consent to

the selling of the historic ballast found on the site of 630 Indian Street,” says Emanuel D. Newman, co-founder of Spandrel Development. “The moment we became aware of the situation, we took the proper actions to end it immediately. We understand and respect the history of downtown Savannah and do not take this lightly,” Newman tells Connect. Daniel Carey, President and CEO of the Historic Savannah Foundation, tells Connect: “This is regrettable, to say the least. The ballast stones in question may be some of the oldest extant remnants of Savannah’s built environment, and to think they’ve become commodities for sale shouldn’t sit well with anyone,” Carey says “This city prides itself on its history and architecture, so I hope there will be an effort to adopt and implement policies

and procedures that protect against such cannibalization and profit from thereon,” Carey tells us. Because the site is on private property and not City of Savannah-owned land, the City’s options were limited, a City spokesperson says. Amazingly, there is still no archaeological ordinance for the City of Savannah, founded in 1733 and one of the nation’s oldest cities — and certainly a city with one of the most intact historic districts. The 630 Indian Street development is slated for completion by the fourth quarter of 2019. At 360,000 square feet, the project will be one of the largest buildings in downtown Savannah and “the first fully amenitized multi-family residential building since the 1960s,” according to the firm.

Weed trafficking organization dismantled by CNT

A number of people are in custody following multiple search warrants and the seizure of large amounts of marijuana, guns, and cash, the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team (CNT) reports. In May 2018, CNT and the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) opened a joint investigation into a group of individuals believed to be trafficking marijuana throughout Chatham County. “As the investigation developed, agents identified 47-year-old Joseph Rion Hilliard and his son, 22-year-old Nicholas Rion Hilliard, as the top tiers of the organization,” CNT reports. Over the course of the three-month operation, agents identified six locations connected to the organization which spread throughout Savannah-Chatham and determined the marijuana was originating from California. Most locations were determined to be “stash houses” where various amounts of marijuana were

NEWS & OPINION NEWS OF THE WEIRD Awesome!

Retirees Marli and Paulo Ciquinel of Meleiro in southern Brazil discovered a fetishist’s dream in the garden behind their home: a 17 1/2-pound potato that has grown into the shape of a huge human foot (with six toes). The “toes” descend in size, much as human toes do, and the largest has roots that look like hair. The “foot” portion of the tuber reaches up almost to kneeheight. Marli told the Mirror, “We have never seen anything like it.” Paulo said he was “a little bit scared when we harvested that potato.” The couple don’t plan to eat it.

Irony

Tania Singer, 48, a neuroscientist who is one of the world’s top researchers on human empathy, has been accused by coworkers of being ... a bully. “Whenever anyone had a meeting with her, there was at least an even chance they would come out in tears,” one colleague told Science magazine. Others said the daily working environment included threats and emotional abuse. For her part, Singer denied the most serious charges and said, “(T)he workload and pressure increasing led to stress and strain that in turn sometimes caused inadequate communication with my staff in problem situations.” The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and

Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, where Singer has her lab, granted Singer a sabbatical in 2017 and said in a statement that when she returns, “it is envisioned that Prof. Singer will head, at her own request, a considerably smaller working group for social neuroscience.”

Bold

In Columbus, Ohio, workers repairing a street on Aug. 8 hit an unmarked water main, causing homes along the road to lose water. One man couldn’t be deterred from finishing his shower, though: WCMH TV reported that after screaming from his porch, “I was in the f------- shower!” the unidentified resident finished his morning toilette on the street, in the geyser from the pipe.

Solving the Wrong Problem?

In Paris, the designer of a recently installed “urinoir,” a sidewalk urinal, on the Ile Saint-Louis, says the new device offers “an eco solution to public peeing.” But Reuters reports that nearby residents and business owners are unhappy, saying they are “immodest and ugly” and will “incite exhibitionism.” The “Uritrottoir,” a mashup of the French words for urinal and sidewalk, looks like a plastic trash receptacle, and local mayor Ariel Weil says they’re

necessary: “If we don’t do anything, then men are just going to pee in the streets.”

Oops!

Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado, is footing the bill for a possible $46,000 reprint job after a recent graduate found a typo on his diploma. Alec Williams, former editor of the school’s newspaper, was examining his sheepskin when he found a line reading “Coard of Trustees,” instead of “Board of Trustees” under one of the signatures. “There was this moment of laughing at it ... and the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I got, because I’m sitting on $30,000 worth of debt and they can’t take the time to use spellcheck,” he said. CMU President Tim Foster told The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that the school will send out

Step Aside, Cat Ladies

Agents of Columbus (Ohio) Humane executed a warrant on a home in the Clintonville neighborhood on Aug. 14 in response to complaints about birds inhabiting the home. Columbus Humane CEO Rachel Finney told The Columbus Dispatch that concerns were warranted: Officials found more than 600 birds inside, including macaws, African gray parrots, Amazon parrots and other species. “It’s pretty overwhelming to step into the house,” Finney said. Removal took all day, and Columbus Humane was undertaking the task of examining each bird from beak to tail.

Indie rockers hit B&D Burgers as part of summer series BY JOSEPHINE JOHNSON NEWLY reinvented alt-rockers Houndmouth bring their “Golden Age Tour” to B&D Burgers on Congress Street, Wednesday, August 29th. The rise to fame of Indiana musicmakers Houndmouth is the envy of many working musicians. The four original members knew each other from high school in New Albany, Indiana. They played music together in various configurations—four-hour cover gigs in Louisville bars, or duo shows in local restaurants and breweries. In late fall of 2011, they all got together and home-recorded an EP which went

with them when they performed at South By Southwest in spring 2012. Those performances and that recording landed the band an album deal with Rough Trade Records, which in turn, got them into a real studio to record their first album “From the Hills Below the City,” released summer 2013. By all accounts a meteoric rise in just under two years—it’s what many bands dream of, labor at for years before, if ever, achieving commercial success. “From the Hills Below the City,” with its big, twang-y guitars and gorgeous four person harmonies—for better or for worse—pigeonholed the band as distinctly Americana. Critics likened Houndmouth to The Band, and singer/keys player Katie Toupin, a new Emmylou Harris.

In 2015 they released their second album “Little Neon Limelight,” with the catchy hit “Sedona” that played on radio stations everywhere in the summer of 2015. That tune took the band to “Late Night with David Letterman” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.” The rapid rise to fame took its toll. In spring of 2016, Katie Toupin left the band to pursue other opportunities, leaving them a seasoned trio in search of a new sound. Houndmouth is touring now in support of their August 3rd album release “Golden Age,” and it’s a marked departure from their Americana roots. This latest album is much more electronic than country guitar—think Black Keyes and Daft Punk. The band’s signature harmonies remain,

I tried living in Austin, Texas, for a while, but it just didn’t feel right, something about it I just didn’t understand. I went back to Indiana and bought a little house in Floyd’s Knob. coming through crisp and clear indie-rock style. The name Houndmouth, by the way, comes from the band’s early days of home recording in which the howls and barking of the neighbor’s dogs would bleed into the microphones. On playback, the band mates would complain of “too much hound mouth.” A name equally fitting an Americana act or band of indie rock guys. We spoke with Houndmouth singer and guitarist, Matt Meyers, last week. The track “On the Road” from your first album is like Indiana’s answer to the Alabama Shakes meets Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It was an indie hit for Houndmouth. What was the writing process like for that song? It’s funny, that was one that came together real fast in the studio. We needed more tracks to round out the album and “On The Road” was a song that we worked to make clean and fast and it ended up being the first track on the album. Your first two albums were written as a four piece. How has your writing changed since Katie Toupin’s departure in 2016? We all tend to write separately and then bring that to the band. Without Katie, we’re doing—ok, I’m doing—more falsetto harmonies. And with the new album —we worked with producers Jonathan Rado and Shawn Everett — we wanted to make something that wouldn’t be so easily lumped into Americana. I just want to make music and write songs and those songs might not always be roots rock. Why did you choose Everett and Rado? Everett did the latest War on Drugs album and worked with Alabama Shakes. Jonathan Rado has a pair of ears that hear things differently. He also pursues making the sounds he hears in a totally different way. He is unconventional and his sensibility really makes something unusual and kind of retro.

AN EVENING WITH

Can you give an example of what it was like recording with Rado? What are some of his techniques or tricks if you can share? Oh yeah, sure. The song “Black Jaguar” from the new album we recorded it in a way that we’d never done before. First, we tracked the song live playing it in its regular tempo, all of it to a click track. Then, we re-tracked the song playing it twice the tempo but playing it back at half the speed, all to a click track again. We added another track that was just samples of jaguars, both the animal and the car. Then a track of just the DX7 keyboard for a real 80s feel. There were some more tracks, but everything is locked down on a click track to keep the time and tempo all together. After we had all this sound built up, we went and carved out parts, subtracting or muting part of the jaguar track here and pulling up the volume on the DX7 track, basically muting tracks at the right times and places to really craft the song. It gave us a new way of thinking about music and how to create it. Since 2011 you and Houndmouth have released three albums, you’ve toured the world, you’ve played major stages and TV shows—and you’ve only turned 30 this year. That’s all pretty rock star. What does that feel like, to be a rock star? I’m gone a lot. I tried living in Austin, Texas, for a while, but it just didn’t feel right, something about it I just didn’t understand. I went back to Indiana and bought a little house in Floyd’s Knob. It’s the flat land and rolling hills of Southern Indiana, and it’s corn and soybeans, the changing crops that I understand. It has a yard and I mow it, and three times this summer I’ve gotten stung by bees! I understand that place and it’s good to have a home you understand, that understands you. Is that rock star? CS

CHEW’s psych rock manifesto BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

ATLANTA’S CHEW has been making Savannah a regular stop on their many national tours since the beginning of their career making intricate and lush psychedelic instrumental music. The band, who’s latest run brings them to El Rocko Lounge on September 8th, consists of guitarist Brett Reagan and drummer Sarah Wilson rounded out by somewhat of a revolving door of bass players. The band evokes the improvisational spirit of the psych rock of the 60s, and effortlessly weaves in complex arrangements similar to prog heroes King Crimson. All of that is anchored by Wilson’s groove-heavy drumming, which calls to mind the virtuosic performances of noted session drummer Mark Giuliana on David Bowie’s final release Blackstar. One would think that a band whose members have such a tight musical thread between them would have found each other through their shared musical interests. As Reagan noted when we caught up with him ahead of the El Rocko show, that wasn’t quite the case.

“Since we picked up instruments, we had both always been in heavier bands,” he explained. “We always had, in the back of our minds, wanted to do something more accessible. We’ve always had that desire, and never really the opportunity to explore it. Sarah’s band was dissolving, and I was actually playing as a touring guitarist at the time. That band was dissolving, and I didn’t really have a band.” Reagan, who had moved from California to play with his former group, said he felt disappointed when the band fell apart, but quickly capitalized on the opportunity to work with Wilson. Their improvisational backgrounds led to the formation of CHEW, and the duo quickly stumbled upon a unique writing process that allowed them to bring ideas to their practice space, then immediately workshop music on the road and incorporate audience feedback into the arrangements. “A lot of the instrumentation comes from feeling things out, and the jam will eventually take its own route. We’ll take that loose form and then we’ll take it on tour for a year, and it’ll completely stretch and warp, and that’s the way we like it,” Reagan said. “We’ve built in, now, improvisational song pockets that can actually morph

naturally in an organic environment. Then we’ll come off that tour and book some session time and record.” CHEW’s music is often centered around Reagan’s imaginative guitar work, which is highlighted by the use of effects and noise manipulation. But the guitarist insisted that at the end of the day, most of what he writes has to sound good on its own before it’s filtered through his effects units. It’s the philosophy that he navigated on their first two EPs, 3D EP and A Fine Accoutrement, and something they’ll continue to employ as they begin their next project prior to their El Rocko performance with Charleston’s Gold Light. “We’re evolving right now. We’re really laying it on thick with the improv, and we’ve got a new sensibility for new songs. Definitely some new stuff you’ll be hearing,” he said of what fans can expect for their upcoming Savannah stop. “We’ve been working a lot with a new bass player that’s been really changing our perspective on all of our songs.” CS

CULTURE THE ART•BEAT OF SAVANNAH

Photographing the turn of the century

Telfair’s exhibition at Jepson examines four important artists from the permanent collection BY RACHAEL FLORA

AS ubiquitous as photography has become, it’s easy to forget its humble beginnings. Long before the camera feature became standard for all mobile phones, photographers like Ralph Steiner were using much larger cameras to push the boundaries of what photography could be. When the Telfair Museums was presented with a portfolio of Steiner’s work, assistant curator Erin Dunn jumped on the opportunity to show Evans and other photographers of his time who redefined the art. Enter “The Language of Vision: Early Twentieth Century Photography,” up “Untitled (Self-portrait),” Steiner, 1929. now at the Jepson Center. The exhibition also features three photographers from the Telfair’s permanent collection: Ralph Steiner, Manual Álvarez Bravo, and Helen Levitt. “I’m always interested in showing the permanent collection in our spaces,” explains Dunn, “so this was a chance. Ralph Steiner hadn’t received a lot of attention in recent years, and the photographs are really beautiful. I decided to pair him with these particular artists because they were all working in the early 20th century and were in similar professional and social circles, and a lot of them knew each other.” At the time featured in “The Language of Vision,” photography was mostly functional, like for staged shoots or documentary purposes. Instead of following that precedent, these artists used “straight photography,” capturing what was directly in front of them without manipulation in the darkroom. “You had the pictorialists who were focusing on more romanticized, soft-focus photographs, and the documentary photographers trying to be factual, and then you had this group, who want photography to be a fine art,” Dunn explains. “They’re viewing the photos with their own personal vision, which is done through subject matter, the camera they’re using, the way they’re shooting, cropping, lighting—each of these photographers are looking at similar subject matter.” Being contemporaries, the artists were inspired and influenced by one another. “The exhibition is organized thematically, so that’s what I think viewers will get out of it,” Dunn says. “There are commonalities in the work. While they’re not necessarily working together, they’re working “Untitled,” Steiner, 1929.

on similar thing. It was still an emerging art form, so a lot of the circles weren’t huge.” One of the themes highlighted in “The Language of Vision” is street photography. Evans would go on the New York subway with a camera snaked through his shirt to capture riders, often accompanied by Levitt to make him look less suspicious. Levitt herself used what’s called a right-angle viewfinder to take pictures of the people around her without attracting attention to herself. Bravo is the only non-American photographer included in the exhibition. “Bravo grew up during the Mexican Revolution, which was a really bloody time in Mexican history,” Dunn explains. “He became part of the Mexican Renaissance, which was full of artists deciding the next phase of Mexican history.” Bravo, completely self-taught, was discovered by Italian artist Tina Modotti, who sent his work to famed photographer Edward Weston. Bravo then became part of the same circle as Diego Rivera and

Frida Kahlo. “He was in that important group of artists, where he started to make those connections where his photographs could be seen in tangent with other photographers working in the United States,” says Dunn. The title of the exhibition comes from an Evans quote appearing in the Massachusetts Review: “The meaning of quality in photography’s best pictures lies in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system. …” “Photography allows people to think and view in a new way that doesn’t emphasize formal education,” Dunn says. “It’s more focused on mathematic and rational thinking. Accessibility is really important, and humanity—it’s focusing on everyday people. It allows this new sight.” CS

“I pick all the beers, but I work closely with distributors and with breweries to come up with the list. We do put a lot of trust in the distributors, especially with the beers on the VIP side,” Colee says. “It’s a real collaborative event between us, the brewers, and the distributors.” This year, regular festival-goers won’t see anything dramatically new – but there have been some important tweaks to make the experience more enjoyable. “We’ve brought in several new meaderies and breweries, and rearranged some things. We’ve broken out some things so the crowd will flow better,” Colee says. “There are a lot of the favorite things – the cornhole tournament, the silent disco, things like that. But the beer is the main show — beer is the rock star.” A new addition this year for users of the UnTapp’d app is a specific event check-in, rather than just a location check-in. Planning a craft beer festival isn’t something you can do at the last minute. While you might be tempted to think planning begins for the next year’s edition right after the festival ends, Colee says there’s as much art to it as science. “We start planning more like about 6

or 7 months out. In the beer world, you’re dealing with craft and micro breweries who often work in small batches. A lot of things can change,” she says. “So you don’t’ want to get too far ahead of yourself. The process of actually picking the beers is only about three months prior.” The Savannah Craft Brew Festival of course coincides with one of the High Holy Days of the Savannah calendar: The first day of college football. The University of Georgia Bulldogs, in fact, play at 3:30 p.m. this Saturday – right in the middle of the festival. What’s a self-respecting Dawg fan who loves their craft beer to do? “There are lots of questions about college football. Luckily our friends at Terrapin and Foothills breweries will provide opportunities to watch the games, including the Georgia game,” Colee says. “We’re based in the Southeast, and we’re never going to overlook the fact that this festival happens on the first weekend of college football.” CS The Savannah Craft Brew Fest happens 2-6 p.m. Sept. 1 at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center.

CRAFT BREW FESTIVAL SURVIVAL GUIDE

The Brew/Drink/Run Craft Beer Festival Survival Guide BY RAYMOND GADDY

CONNECT SAVANNAH | AUG 29-SEP 4, 2018

THERE ARE many craft beer festivals all over the country. Some are organized around a well known or desired beer release; Hunaphu, Dark Lord, KBS for example, some are just to celebrate all that is good and great about craft beer. These beer festivals can be a lot of fun as long as you take care of yourself and go in with a good mindset. At most Festivals you’ll have the opportunity to try new beers, maybe revisit some old favorites and certainly learn a thing or two about beer and the craft beer industry. Festivals can be hard though - the crowds can be overwhelming, long lines can be boring to stand in, and over drinking is always a problem. To avoid these festival pitfalls, here are several tips and tricks you can use to make sure you have a fun, responsible and safe day at any beer festival. EAT: The Italians have a saying “non ha mangiato basta;” a person doesn’t get drunk, they don’t have enough to eat. Listen to the Italians, food will help you make it through the day. All festivals have food vendors or food trucks on site with meals and snacks for purchase. The food vendors are rarely included in thte festival ticket price so don’t be caught without your wallet. It’s also not a bad idea to also eat before you arrive. Have a nice big breakfast or lunch before you go. Your full belly will help keep the pace of your drinking level. Usually Bonus pro tip: Avoid foods that are spicy. Spicy foods will dull your taste buds depriving you of some good tasting beer, and we wouldn’t’ want that. HYDRATE: This may be a no brainer but drinking water is important. Dehydration is the cause of most of the pain you’ll feel if you do over drink so hydrate before you enter the festival. Once you’re in you’ll see water is usually, should be, available at all the festival tents. Most festival goers see this water as rinse water for your tasting glass but don’t pour it out! Drink that water. As a general rule of thumb you should consume at least as much water as beer. Drinking your “rinse water” method insures you are keeping your water to beer ratio intact. PACE YOURSELF: A craft beer festival is not equivalent to dollar beer night. You B4 paid good money to taste some great beer

so make sure you’re able to enjoy is and remember it. The day is about quality beer, not quantity. Sip and enjoy your beer. Pay attention to the flavors in every beer you sample. It’s called a tasting for a reason. Make comparisons and talk them over with your buddies. If you don’t like a beer, that’s OK, don’t drink it. There will always be a dump bucket close at hand. Take a break every now and then to enjoy the music, play a game or just enjoy the view of Savannah from across the river. TALK TO BREWERY REPS: The reps aren’t there just to pour you a drink. Beer representatives all love beer, they wouldn’t be in the job if they didn’t. Beer lovers love to talk beer so ask questions, these guys are pros, you’ll get good answers. If you find a beer you like (or maybe don’t like) ask about the style, the hops or other flavorings used in brewing. This information will help you target beer you know you will like in the future and avoid the ones you don’t. HAVE A PLAN: The brewery and beer list for this years Savannah Craft beer

Festival is available on the festival website (it’s a good list). Spend some time looking it over. Make a plan to first visit the brewery tents you are most interested in first. That way you insure you have the opportunity to taste the beers you want, just in case the brewery runs out. and maybe avoid a long line. Another route is to try only a particular type of beer, focus on sours or IPAs or lagers. This plan a great way to look for beers you’ll want to keep drinking after the festival is over. Whateve you do Please, PLEASE, don’t try to sample everything; 150 beers, 4oz pours, that is almost 40 gallons of beer, that plan will not end well. TAKE PICS: You are certain to find a great beer you’ll want to revisit later. Camera phones are great for taking notes and

for photographing labels. You’ll appreciate your photos when you make your next trip to the bottle shop and need a reminder of the name of that one particular beer you had at the festival. Better yet there are several beer apps available that usually have a rating system, built in photo editing and space for beer notes. Untappd is a great option and has several features for keeping copious notes and details. UPGRADE TO VIP: VIP tickets to beer festivals always have several perks that are usually worth it for the craft beer enthusiast. Early entry (shorter lines!) and access to special or rare beers is typical. If you’re looking to check off some rare beers or just expand your palate VIP tickets are usually a good bet. VIP tickets for the Savannah Craft Brew Festival are, unfortunately, sold out. Those lucky enough to snag VIP tickets will have early access and entry into a specialty beer area as well as free food and a few giveaways. HAVE A SAFE RIDE HOME: No one wants you driving home after drinking. Have a ride ready to pick you up or plan for a cab or Uber/Lyft. Even better, the Craft Brew Festival offers a $15 Designated Driver ticket. Be cool and buy your best non-drinking buddy a ticket to the festival. You can hang out together all day, they get free water and sodas and everyone makes it home safe. Visiting and staying downtown or you live downtown? Don’t get in a car at all, take the free ferry across the river and walk home from there. Enjoy the Savannah Craft Beer Festival but take care of yourself and those around you. Remember the event isn’t just about drinking lots of beer. There are plenty of other things to take in at the Festival, live music, a beer class with from some of Sam Adams Brewery representatives or a beer and cheese paring with Georgia’s Orpheus Brewing. I hope you sample some great beers, have some good food and a great time with friends and other craft beer lovers. Cheers!

Dunkel—Ruby brown German lager with a smooth malty flavor. ALE BEERS showed up in England and the Netherlands around the 15th century. They have a sweet, full bodied and sometimes fruity taste.

The Savannah Art Box simplifies collecting, giving Sulfur Studios offers an easier way of building an art collection

rachael@connectsavannah.com

DON’T PANIC, but Labor Day is this weekend, which means all the department stores are about to unearth their snow machines and evergreen wreaths. Meanwhile, you’re just trying to plan your last beach day. Doesn’t this get earlier every year? Don’t let the holiday buzz get you overwhelmed—Sulfur Studios is here to help you get a jump on it with their brand new Savannah Art Box. The latest project out of the artistic powerhouse, the Savannah Art Box is packed full with pieces from local artists. The goods run the gamut from paintings and prints to books, CDs and keychains, all made by local artists that have been associated with Sulfur at some point. “We’re trying to keep it in some ways Savannah-specific, so some of the content of the pieces is either about Savannah or the South,” explains Jennifer Moss. “We also wanted to have a lot of different types of art as well. Art is not just a painting on the wall. The box includes paintings and prints, but we also have functional things.” “It’s a project I’ve seen other places; it exists in a few different ways,” explains Moss. “I’ve seen an art box that’s multiple times a year, like a subscription service. I’ve had it in my mind to do something like this the last two years [Sulfur has] existed, but I keep having the idea too late in the year! It really makes sense to have it be available before the holidays, so when I finally remembered it this year in June, we made it happen.” “If you don’t want to go shopping, we’ve shopped for you,” adds Emily Earl. The Savannah Art Box is also an easy opportunity to build an art collection. As Moss and Earl both attest, getting into the process of collecting art can be intimidating for beginners. Currently, the Savannah Art Box is available only by presale. The box is available in three tiers priced at $125, $250, and $500, respectively. Tier One includes a signed copy of Morty and the Moon by Jose Lucio; a set of postcards from Emily Earl’s Late Night Polaroids series, an 8”x10” limited edition print by Alexis Javier, an enamel pin by Tittybats, a Flannery O’Connor-themed notebook by Holly Oddly, a signed copy of Don’t Go to the Porch by City Hotel, and a special edition Sulfur Studios T-shirt. Tier Two includes all of Tier One’s

items in addition to a signed copy of Savannah Sideways by Jessica Leigh Lebos ,a leather key fob by Fidler Supply, a ceramic mug by Rebecca Sipper, and a limited edition 16”x20” print by Xavier Hutchins. Tier Thee includes all of the previous items as well as an original painting by Michael Mahaffey, an original fiber piece by Jennifer Moss, a hand-pulled reduction linoprint by Laurie Darby, and a wood pendant by Keeth Woodworking. The boxes are available for purchase at sulfurstudios.org/savannah-art-box through Oct. 1. Sulfur will throw a release party Nov. 30 where boxes will be available for pickup. CS Giving and collecting art has never been easier thanks to Sulfur’s Savannah Art Box. PHOTOS COURTESY OF SULFUR STUDIOS.

FOOD & DRINK EPICUROPEDIA

AS WITH ANY city with a bustling business district and a lot of foot traffic, downtown Savannah is full of coffee shops. There’s a lot to be said for a coffee shop’s owner taking a liking to roasting his own beans. It allows for the craftsman to have an earlier hand in the process of bringing the cup-o-joe to your lips. If you don’t know how much self-roasting coffee beans can do for a coffee joint, head over to Cup to Cup to see what I mean. James Spano tells me that at Cup to Cup, “a continual favorite is the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that has a great bright flavor with floral notes,” which shows exactly how thoughtfully produced Spano’s product actually is. Other roast feature beans from around the world, including Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Brazil. No matter the bean, James roasts the coffee himself at his production space located on Wilmington Island in addition to being the “delivery boy, bookkeep, janitor, and salesman,” he explains. As for the process, which takes about twelve minutes, James roasts the beans in a spinning drum heated with a direct flame. He controls the roast by controlling the airflow into the drum. To finish, the coffee beans are cooled on a tray allowing air to be drawn around them. Although James’ primary focus is on roasting and providing quality coffee to Savannah, he always planned on opening a coffee shop to sell brews of his beans. James elaborates when I ask about his decision to open Cup to Cup Cafe in 2016 stating that “the idea was that I could start and run the roasters myself then as business improved invest in a retail setting.” Cup to Cup Cafe offers both traditional coffee house drinks, seasonal specials, tea service, and unique drinks that you can’t find anywhere else. Beyond beverages, you can buy a range of baked goods provided by multiple local bakers. On Mondays and Tuesdays the baked goods are from Bakers Pride, Gottlieb’s is featured Wednesday through Friday, and Le Cafe Gourmet is on Saturday. The most popular seller at the cafe “right now is anything iced,” which has spurred the store’s experimentation with “iced drinks this summer,” James tells me. One of their resulting creations is something that patrons have loved, the Coffee Tonic. House-roasted and brewed espresso is

shaken with ice then poured over tonic water. The drink has everything coffee lovers enjoy about coffee but with a lighter, bubbly feel. A perfect pick me up on a stereotypical Savannah day. Some of the experimentation has included collaboration with local producer Capital Bee Company. James let me sample his newest creation, even though he was still working on it. Capital Bee Company provided Cup to Cup with a brand new honey that was pollinated from a blueberry bush. James let me smell the honey, which overwhelmed my nose with the scent of fresh blueberries. He then took the fresh honey and combined it with their very own cascara, fruit from the coffee treat, syrup and bubbly water that is made to order. The smell of the drink is just as strong as the honey itself, and it tastes just as it smells—of bright blueberries. As you wash it down, your mouth is next hit with the subtle cherry notes of the cascara and earthy hints of honey. Although made of sweet thick honey, the drink itself is light from the addition of effervescent bubbly water. A second drink featuring Capital Bee Company honey is the store’s current seasonal special, the Cafe Miel. If you order this one you will receive a latte that is

flavors of a latte with the subtle addition of sweet floral honey. On the more unique side is the Hop Tonic which is created with cold espresso and cascade hops mixed with tonic water. The unique combination adds the aroma of hops to the coffee spritzer. If hot coffee is your thing, I recommend trying a hot brew with the coffee of the day. I tasted a classic latte, brewed fresh and served with expert latte art created with frothed milk. The subtleties of the coffee are prevalent in the preparation, smooth and nutty without overpowering your palate with bitterness. As for James, he loves “to drink a cup of black coffee...coffee has so many subtle nuances and flavors, I enjoy experiencing them without any additions.” For those that prefer tea, Cup to Cup offers tea service brewed with your choice of locally sourced tea from Hale Tea Company. Even the cups were selected with care—Cup to Cup’s tea service includes classic floral china and a simple white teapot. The available options include both the usual classics like black tea to more unique offerings like Darjeeling (that I was lucky enough to try with my tea service). The tea tasted slightly sweet with just a touch of earthiness, easy to drink without any addition at all. Every third Thursday of the month, Cup to Cup hosts a free event that is open to anyone. The gathering includes free coffee tastings, discounts on drinks, and a little education about what James loves so much, coffee. The main feature, besides the stellar dark brew, is a new artwork for the month. The shop allows any local artist who

THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS

OO A clever concept gets off to a roaring start before eventually losing its way in The Happytime Murders, a puppet pageantry that is most decidedly not one for the whole family to enjoy. Brian Henson, son of the late Muppets creator Jim Henson and a Muppet veteran in his own right, and screenwriter Todd Berger, whose credits include the likes of The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow and Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five, clearly wanted to take a break from comparatively benign projects and push the envelope when it came to puppet reproduction on screen. Of course, Team America: World Police and Meet the Feebles have already been there, done that, but The Happytime Murders more closely resembles (in structure if not quality) the brilliant Who Framed Roger Rabbit insofar as it’s a Tinseltownset murder-mystery in which humans and nonhumans can be found uneasily commingling. Here, it’s puppets that live alongside people, and for the first half-hour, Berger and co-scripter Dee Austin Robertson slyly craft a meaningful message movie as puppets are treated by many humans as second-class citizens and subject to frequent instances of police brutality. (As an exclamation mark on the analogies, there’s even a celebrity puppet who goes the Michael Jackson route with the bleaching and the nose job.) Unfortunately, any interest in social criticism gets chucked out the window as the movie continues, with all subtext

completely abandoned as the filmmakers become increasingly interested in only offering vulgar gags. Some are quite funny while others are quite flaccid, though there’s no telling which gags will work for which viewers. For example, a restaging of the Sharon Stone no-panties scene from Basic Instinct allows audiences a peek at puppet pudenda — if that strikes you as the height of hilarity, then knock yourself out. The plot concerns the stars of the vintage television sitcom The Happytime Gang being systematically murdered by an unknown assailant. Phil Philips (Bill Barretta), a disgraced puppet cop now working as a private eye, becomes personally involved with the case, meaning that he must again join forces with his former partner, Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy), to solve the mystery. Along the way, Phil visits a porn shop specializing in such titles as Little Kitties with Big Titties, gets reacquainted with an old (human) girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) who co-starred on The Happytime Gang, and receives invaluable assistance from his loyal receptionist Bubbles (Maya Rudolph). Visually, The Happytime Murders is seamless. The mystery is also fairly wellexecuted (if holding no real surprises), and comediennes like McCarthy and Rudolph are allowed moments to shine. But everything is mainly just an excuse for audiences to see puppets curse, drink, take drugs, and have sex. So if watching felt characters get felt up sounds like a winning proposition, The Happytime Murders might just be the ticket.

OOO Has it really been 25 years since The Joy Luck Club premiered? Certainly, there has been a handful of American films in the interim quarter-century that have showcased Asian casts — the 2003 crime flick A Better Tomorrow readily springs to mind — but Crazy Rich Asians is reportedly the first since The Joy Luck Club to be released by a major Hollywood studio. At any rate, expect Crazy Rich Asians to gross even more than The Joy Luck Club, because while it’s not necessarily a better picture, it is a more accessible one for mainstream palates, as well as the sort of effervescent rom-com that has been in seriously short supply as of late. Based on Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians stars Constance Wu as Rachel Chu, an NYU economics professor who journeys to Singapore to attend a wedding alongside her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding). Nick hails from Singapore, meaning that Rachel will finally get to meet his family. What Nick never bothered to tell her, though, is that his family is filthy rich. Wu is enormously appealing in the central role, while Awkwafina, who stole plenty a scene in Ocean’s 8, does likewise in her role as Rachel’s zany friend Peik Lin Goh.

BLACKKKLANSMAN

OOO When was the last time that Spike Lee directed a movie that mattered? And by “mattered,” I mean when was the last time he helmed a film that was seen by audiences, championed by critics, and discussed by the establishment? One would have to go all the way back to 2006’s Inside Man to find a Spike Lee Joint that was viewed by more than just a handful of his strictest devotees. With that in mind, here’s hoping that BlacKkKlansman receives the following it deserves. Loosely based on a true story, it centers on Ron Stallworth (John David Washington, Denzel’s son), who during the 1970s was a rookie — and the first AfricanAmerican officer — with the police department in Colorado Springs. The humor in BlacKkKlansman is occasionally overdone, and yet it never dilutes the suspense generated by the overarching fear that the lives of Ron and Flip are in peril every moment of every day. Some will complain that the Klan members and their enablers are painted in strokes that are far too broad, but I say nonsense.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS

FILM: AMERICAN GRAFFITI Where were you in ’62? Writer/director George Lucas was a teenager in Northern California, and his experiences inspired this comedy set at the end of the summer after high school graduation.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19)

In *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*, our heroine encounters a talking caterpillar as he smokes a hookah on top of a tall mushroom. “Who are you?” he asks her. Alice is honest: “I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” She says this with uneasiness. In the last few hours, she has twice been shrunken down to a tiny size and twice grown as big as a giant. All these transformations have unnerved her. In contrast to Alice, I’m hoping you’ll have a positive attitude about your upcoming shifts and mutations, Aries. From what I can tell, your journey through the Season of Metamorphosis should be mostly fun and educational.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Juan Villarino has hitchhiked over 2,350 times in 90 countries. His free rides have carried him over 100,000 miles. He has kept detailed records, so he’s able to say with confidence that Iraq is the best place to catch a lift. Average wait time there is seven minutes. Jordan and Romania are good, too, with nine- and twelve-minute waits, respectively. In telling you about his success, I don’t mean to suggest that now is a favorable time to hitchhike. But I do want you to know that the coming weeks will be prime time to solicit favors, garner gifts, and make yourself available for metaphorical equivalents of free rides. You’re extra magnetic and attractive. How could anyone could resist providing you with the blessings you need and deserve?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

One of the big stories of 2018 concerns your effort to escape from a star-crossed trick of fate—to fix a long-running tweak that has subtly undermined your lust for life. How successful will you be in this heroic quest? That will hinge in part on your faith in the new power you’ve been developing. Another factor that will determine the outcome is your ability to identify and gain access to a resource that is virtually magical even though it appears nondescript. I bring this to your attention,

Gemini, because I suspect that a key plot twist in this story will soon unfold.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Potential new allies are seeking entrance to your domain. Existing allies aspire to be closer to you. I’m worried you may be a bit overwhelmed; that you might not exercise sufficient discrimination. I therefore urge you to ask yourself these questions about each candidate. 1. Does this person understand what it means to respect your boundaries? 2. What are his or her motivations for wanting contact with you? 3. Do you truly value and need the gifts each person has to give you? 4. Everyone in the world has a dark side. Can you intuit the nature of each person’s dark side? Is it tolerable? Is it interesting?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

While a young man, the future Roman leader Julius Caesar was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates. They proposed a ransom of 620 kilograms of silver. Caesar was incensed at the small size of the ransom— he believed he was worth more—and demanded that his captors raise the sum to 1,550 kilograms. I’d love to see you unleash that kind of bravado in the coming weeks, Leo—preferably without getting yourself kidnapped. In my opinion, it’s crucial that you know how valuable you are, and make sure everyone else knows, as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran loved the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure,” he testified, adding, “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.” I invite you to emulate Cioran’s passionate clarity, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to identify people and things that consistently invigorate your excitement about your destiny. Maybe you have just one shining exemplar, like Cioran, or maybe you have more. Home in on the phenomena that in your mind embody the glory of creation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

I foresee the withering of a hope or the disappearance of a prop or the loss of leverage. This ending may initially make you feel melancholy, but I bet it will ultimately prove beneficent—and maybe lead you to resources that were previously unavailable. Here are rituals you could perform that may help you catalyze the specific kind of relief and release you need: 1. Wander around a graveyard and sing songs you love. 2. Tie one end of a string around your ankle and the other end around an object that symbolizes an influence you want to banish from your life. Then cut the string and bury the object. 3. Say this ten times: “The end makes the beginning possible.” “If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart,” wrote Oscar Wilde. I’ll translate that into a more complete version: “If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart.” This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to treat your life artistically. You’ll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you’re feeling empathy and seeking intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

“My tastes are simple,” testified Sagittarian politician Winston Churchill. “I am easily satisfied with the best.” I propose that we make that your motto for now. While it may not be a sound idea to demand only the finest of everything all the time, I think it will be wise for you to do so during the next three weeks. You will have a mandate to resist trifles and insist on excellence. Luckily, this should motivate you to raise your own standards and expect the very best from yourself.

Russian playwright Anton Chekhov articulated a principle he felt was essential to telling a good story: If you say early in your tale that there’s a rifle hanging on the wall, that rifle must eventually be used. “If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there,” declared Chekhov. We might wish that real life unfolded with such clear dramatic purpose. To have our future so well-foreshadowed would make it easier to plan our actions. But that’s not often the case. Many elements pop up in our personal stories that ultimately serve no purpose. Except now, that is, for you Capricorns. I suspect that in the next six weeks, plot twists will be telegraphed in advance. Would it be fun to roast marshmallows on long sticks over scorching volcanic vents? I suppose. Would it be safe? No! Aside from the possibility that you could get burned, the sulfuric acid in the vapors would make the cooked marshmallows taste terrible, and might cause them to explode. So I advise you to refrain from adventures like that. On the other hand, I will love it if you cultivate a playful spirit as you contemplate serious decisions. I’m in favor of you keeping a blithe attitude as you navigate your way through tricky maneuvers. I hope you’ll be jaunty in the midst of rumbling commotions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

People will be thinking about you more than usual, and with greater intensity. Allies and acquaintances will be revising their opinions and understandings about you, mostly in favorable ways, although not always. Loved ones and not-so-loved ones will also be reworking their images of you, coming to altered conclusions about what you mean to them and what your purpose is. Given these developments, I suggest that you be proactive about expressing your best intentions and displaying your finest attributes.
