Welcome to Athventure! AU first ran into artist Will Eskridge at the Bulldog Inn Art Show in 2015, where he transformed a generic motel room into highly-charged weirdness with his humongous (there’s no other word) Wolf City installation. We brainstormed with Eskridge who came up with the concept of a tech adventure with a nature/educational …
It took us almost 3 hours to come up with a name for this thing…and not only that we were feeling no pain at the time. Alcohol and brainstorming have always been friends, good friends, friends with benefits, but mainly friends with the opposite of benefits. But it wasn’t Mark’s whiskey or my Terrapin Professional Beer (FYI …
Ember Fox (aka Cheryl Reubner), 30, is a poet, fire-flow/performance artist, entertainer, provocateur, gypsy, self-described “ham.” Her journey led her to Athens, which is not uncommon for artist-spiritual questers who meet up on the secret art nodes.

ONE MORE CHANCE – Harold Rittenberry in His Own Words Harold Rittenberry, 83, has a unique approach to showing his work. “I don’t like to fool around with galleries,” he says.

Athens is a yo-yo town. It’s not home to a particularly large amount of yo-yo toys. It wasn’t the birthplace of early 90’s rap phrases. It’s a yo-yo town in a geographical sense. People live here for a while. They leave. They come back. They leave again. They come back again. And so on, and … Continue reading
Hasn’t everything been done to death? Evidently not. This is my 4th foray into the literary/art world as an editor. In the mid-1970s/80s it was Polis (Boston, Provincetown) made with ye olde paper, a few hundred copies for each issue, with fiction, poetry, essays, art.
