I am writing on behalf of the Athens Rewind Committee to express our sincere thanks to the
Athens community past and present for the support, enthusiasm, and warmth we experienced during this event. Thanks to the
many friends who offered their help in the form of time, money, manual labor and moral support, without whom the weekend would not have come together as it did. We are especially grateful to
Joey Tatum, who not only offered up the
Little Kings Club for the weekend, but also graciously handed us the keys all hours of the day and night so we could work on our setup for opening night. Special thanks go out to
Velena Vego and
Barrie Buck from the
40 Watt Club, who met with us on many occasions prior to the event, offering both their help and fresh ideas about the music, food and venues for the weekend.
We are also grateful to
Troy Aubrey and
Jeff Montgomery at
athensmusic.net,
Jeff Hannan at
LS Designs, and
Keith Bennett for their invaluable assistance in preparing for this event. Thanks to
Julie Phillips at
Athens Banner-Herald and
Lee Smith at
Flagpole for writing wonderful articles on our event, and to
Pete McCommons for his positive attitude following the event. Special thanks also to
all the volunteers and to those who contributed photographs, movies, deejay time and performance time.
In short, we were overwhelmed with the kindness and support which emanated from all Athenians involved in Athens Rewind. To everyone who supported us before, during and after the weekend itself, we offer our most sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks.
Julie House
Athens Rewind President
