4. Say hi to Mike Mills for me.

And them gents from Widespread Panic.

Not saying they'll be there, but.. they might!

[CottonBear]

7. I saw Mike & Bill Berry play a few weeks ago!

They both live here. I have met them both. Cool guys who support Democrats!

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Yeah, I love those guys.

That's great that they can even lure Berry off his tractor occasionally to get behind a drum kit.

[CottonBear]

14. He actually played a tambourine.

He sat in with Mill's band,The Baseball Project, at Athfest.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Nice! I'll take anything.

Bill Berry was one of R.E.M.'s secret weapons. I think their post '97 material has a lot to recommend it and sometimes doesn't get the credit it deserves, but his leaving left a hole in that band.

Thank you for prompting me to find this, hadn't seen it before. What a treat!!!

[Snotcicles]

5. I hope you pack the joint. nt

[CottonBear]

9. I think we will! n/t

Athens has a large number of social and political activists and Democrats in our community.

The Athens group is coordinating with the state & national groups! The Athens committee has already met up with the state group in Atlanta.
