God I love living in Athens

[patrock]

a bad day gets so much better when you go out to lunch and run into Jamey and Dottie at the restaurant.

[starman]

Lucky man. I can't wait to move down there this summer, it's gonna be amazing. And save me a lot of money from all the trips I make down there already.

[patrock]

we should chill when you move down

[redbaron056]

ill be moving down there within a year as well.

[starman]

We need to have a townhall get together in Athens once we all get down there.

[patrock]

Hahaha at my place. We can listen to all the records backwards and drink blood and shit hahahaha.

[Laika]

I used to live in Athens. It was good.

[redbaron056]

hell yeah we can have like real townhall meetings and shit every tuesday night with a free buffet, and punch.

[starman]

I already do that Tuesday nights though Redbaron. I wanna fuck some shit up. Blood and Satanic worship sounds good Patrock.

I'm not so sure running into Dottie or Jamey would do anything for my day that a good clean pear couldn't manage.

[opopopo]

I am actually currently eating a pear, dearest Harnk. They do make the whole day lovely.

[patrock]

id rather share a pear with Dottie and Jamey and drink some blood.

[graham]

Mmmm pears. <3

[stompclapclap]

i can't wait to visit athens this summer !

[VenusInFurs341]

I'm moving to Athens after I graduate this summer

[pinocchio]

you guys are so nuts. why is everyone moving to athens? to generate a new breed of elephants? if so, i'm in. madeline plays there all the time. so i'll go just for that. but i mean... it's not like you're going to befriend all the people in your old and new favorite bands and have parties with them. why not all just move somewhere in like mississippi and start a brand new scene there. you can still trip your head off and make music north of the line or west of the river.

"holy!, you're james, no?! what did you and the lady order today?"

[Oneiroplanes]

Around how much would it cost down there to have a 1 bedroom apartment? My cousin lives in or around Athens and says it is pretty cheap rent.

I hear david peirce lives in a van down by the railroad tracks in athens. At night he eats.

[jefferoo]

you mean, "he feeds".

gezus. I checked out that craigslist link and saw that I could have a 4 bedroom apt for what I pay for a 1.5 br in Brooklyn.

[stompclapclap]

holy shit, i pay $675/mo for a shared bedroom in a four-bedroom house in berkeley. for the same price, i could get this ENTIRE lovely house in athens: http://athensga.craigslist.org/apa/514410011.html

remind me why i'm living in the bay area?

[stompclapclap]

oh err that's in homer, not athens proper. still cute, tho

[VenusInFurs341]

I have questions that I'm sure are going to sound very silly. When I move there I want to A)Work, B) Play music, how would I accomplish both of these goals?

dude, you are paying way too much! i look on craigslist all the time for a place to live in berk since i'm moving there in a couple months, and $675 is rediculous for a shared bedroom. i live in downtown san francisco in a huge bedroom i share with someone and i pay $425, and i think it's way too much.

also, why IS everyone moving to athens? would you guys consider it if of montreal had never existed?

[redbaron056]

well, i'm in a house with four of my friends so really we're just paying one lump sum of $3600/mo, which is also ridiculous but i blame that on my landlord because she jacked up the price a couple hundred bucks once another group of people tried to compete with us to rent the house. fuck her. but it's a cool house, so i guess it's okay for now. i'm moving out once may rolls around, though.

[jefferoo]

I share my 1.5 br in brooklyn with mimi for 1450/mo. I WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDEr moving there if I could do film/tv work and get well paid for it, there.

[patrock]

the thing is athens is not some magical artists haven where you can make all your dreams come true. It just so happened that a group of creative individuals joined in this town. Most of it is a bunch of frat boys and nasty rednecks. There is somewhat of an "indie" scene but they all are pretentious assholes who focus more on their thrift store clothes than anything new and beautiful. I live and work in Athens, and I like it but by no means is it anything THAT special. Of course rent is cheap, it is just a little suburban college town, look anywhere in the country and you will find low rent in those types of areas anywhere.

[starman]

I'm moving down there mainly for the abundance of kick ass concerts.

and you gotta do it just right

[Stinkypoo1032]

Holy smokes! I'm gonna do this. What states do'nt have kool music scenes?

[patrock]

Montana?

[antonyrocks01]

Montana?

Vermont and New Hampshire sound like perfectly good states as well!

yeah, that is redunkulous. i kind of wish i lived with ricky. the government is probably paying for it though because its really nice. where are you off to in may? i'll be trying to find a roommate around that time. let a sister know if you need a roomie.

[stompclapclap]

i have no idea what i'm doing yet after may; one of my bffs might be transferring and if that works out, we'll be rooming. but if that falls thru, i might hit you up for sharing an apartment or something! my only condition is that i live on northside. i'm sick of southside.

come move to our new found beach town in new jersey. no more city for me. it's a very nice town.

Dear Prospective Athenians,

Please take note of this incredibly accurate depiction of musicians living in Athens. Every single one of them is a pretentious asshole. I know because I have met them, all of them, in dressing rooms at the Salvation Army.

Sincerely,
Apparently a Frat Boy or Nasty Redneck

P.S. Nothing new and beautiful? Do you do see live music around here? Ever? Really?

Im saying as a whole. Most Athenians are pretentious hipster dicks.

Ill take my chances

[starman]

Patrock redeems the entire town in my mind.

[redbaron056]

i second that.

[patrock]

i second that.

What do you mean?

[pinocchio]

patrock, let's be realistic. you are a wee teenage boy who pretended to be gay for a while and dressed up like david bowie when kevin started covering his songs. let's not be so quick to judge others when maybe we are describing the I

no hurt feelings, i hope. I AM A HIPSTER DOOFUS. SOMETIMES I WEAR SANTA CLAUS COSTUMES JUST BECAUSE IT IS SNOWING OUT.

Ok dude, first off I have been a David Bowie fan since I was young. My dad has had all of his records. I got into Bowie hardcore about 2 years before I had even heard Of Montreal. Second off My sexual identity has nothing to do with any of this.

[starman]

I think the residual effects of Pinnocho's shroom trip are still wearing off, I wouldn't blame him for his aggression, lol. When I said that you redeemed Athens Patrock, I was joking a little, but I meant that you are cool enough that the pretentious jerks of Athens fade away in comparison :)

PS the mention of Bowie made me think of your FAME tattoo. How is that doing man, been keeping it up?

[patrock]

got it touched up once and its been fine since september. I just never really associate with anyone in this town haha. I go to work and hang out with my roommates and a few close friends, never go to shows. When I did I just didn't dig it.

[graham]

So...

...when's the best time of year to pay you lot a visit?

[Harnk]

it's a real bad/sad idea to move to a town because you want to bump into musicians from bands you probably will have very little interest in in 10 years time.

[hambone]

I hear kevin eats fried chicken at the mayflower every Sunday wearing a bus driver disguise.

[jefferoo]

patrock, check out my sweater. look familiar?

hahahaha that is the EXACT one, did you buy that in my honor? yeah mine has a huge hole in it.

[jefferoo]

no. I wish.
I saw you wore it when you sang onstage with the band.
I was like "hey, where did he get my sweater? and why is that huge hole in it?".

[patrock]

Yeah i never bought it. I actually stepped foot in American Eagle for the first time today. I just found it in my little brother's closet last year. I love it. It got the hole in it on my walk over to that show actually. It was a stupid drunken birthday thing and my friend and I were walking from a friend's dorm and i decided to jump a fence as a short cut and got snagged on the top. It was an insane/amazing night. I made a total idiot of myself, but it was a fun birthday. Apparantly according to my friend, I was walking up to random people going ITS MY BIRTHDAY GIVE ME A DRINK! and just sipping from random people's drinks. I also went up to a fat older girl and said ITS MY BIRTHDAY STOP JUST STANDING THERE and I kissed her cheek and walked off. WOW

[jefferoo]

Perfect sweater for all of that!
You're a man of great taste.
I have a misfits shirt that I used to wear a lot when I was 14 (14 years ago, ouch) that had a huge hole from jumping a fence on halloween. shit doesn't get better than that.
I got my sweater at Filene's Basement for something like $15.
Normally, I'm a medium, sometimes large. My sweater is size small though.
Who knew?

[patrock]

Yea i wear a small and mine is a little bit big on me. I like how you said you were wearing a misfits shirt on halloween, how fitting hahaha

[jefferoo]

thats how we do.
