I say this should be filed this under “If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked”: As many of you know, the non-profit my wife and I run is done exclusively by us. And when we started, the idea of maintaining a mailing list wasn’t really what really interested me. However, here I am in mid-July and I’ve been getting deluged with emails, texts and calls from people asking for a way so they can know about what we’re doing before things sell out. Again, it’s just the two of us, and I don’t consider myself a mailing list guy, but here we are. I guess if you want to be on the list for future events and endeavors, send me your info. And yes, we know the website should have this, but it’s currently a work in progress. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello, nice people!

This picture below is of Robbie Williams. He was a film student at UGA in 1971. He may have been a student earlier or later, as well, but we know 1971, based on this photo from the Red & Black.

We are seeking information about Robbie "Rob" Williams.

We are also seeking any information about, or a copy of, the 1974 Athens-made documentary "Options" by Grabbit & Run Film Co.

Anybody know anything?

It’s Monday at 10am. The past week saw me driving all across this fair state (from Athens to Macon) to get materials signed, printed and framed. On Saturday at the Imperial this past week, my wife (who had spine surgery a mere two weeks ago) worked the merch counter like a goddamned boss. My son Patrick made prints that even had photographers ask who did them….yes, they were THAT good. A special whoop-whoop to Jeremy Ray who is our official framing specialist. A thanks to the veritable ocean of people that showed up (many early) snapped up many a print that hadn’t existed until I came along and sniffed around. A hearty thanks to anybody that bought anything which now gives our modest non-profit a comma in our bank account. (sorry to humblebrag.) An additional thanks to the strangers who quickly became friends as we talked about their archives and aspirations for their material. A sincere thanks to Robert and the entire Imperial staff who kept us in suds. And finally, a robust thank you to Gene and Doc for helping us financially get our keisters off the ground. These four photos were purchased by James and Kelly that will be framed up at their soon to be open bar/venue Andy’s Room. Super flattered. For those taking notes, Bowie and Sid were shot by Doc Silver, Opal Foxx and Ru is by Barbara McKenzie and the Talking Heads at the Agora is by consummate bad ass Dana Downs. (photo by Kelly)

Next up is our first “legit” exhibition at the Cabbagetown Community Center of Barbara McKenzie’s work in the neighborhood 50 years ago.

Got this in the mail yesterday. Is it tacky to frame a postcard?

“God damn.” Those were the exact words when Murray Silver Jr. (pictured) saw his photographs from two generations ago printed for the first time. Here he is holding “the hero shot” of Jimmy and Bonzo at their Atlanta appearance in 1977. Doc came by to sign the prints that were ready for the The Imperial pop up next week. Get excited, dang it.

Do you know where you’re gonna be on Saturday June 27 from 4 to 7? We do! We’ll be hanging out with this guy (Robert) at the Imperial in Oakhurst showing a host of materials that have never been seen let alone printed before. Come buy us out of everything and, while you’re at it, get us an order of fried pickles and (dare I say) a fried pretzel.

Pro tip: The process is half the fun. Tons of never-before-seen material to help finance the non-profit. Buy us a beer, dang it.

You heard it here first. It’ll be the first time most of this material has been seen, let alone printed.

We are absolutely delighted to share this piece from The Guardian with you. We cannot thank Mr. Stevie Chick enough for his patience and diligence in researching this--including sitting with us to talk about the journey of the recovery of these materials.

We've known from the beginning that Gordon's work was far more special than the footnote of being the bassist for Teenage Jesus & the Jerks. We are thrilled there are so many others who agree with us, and we cannot wait to see where we are able to take Mr. Stevenson now.

Protecting the legacy of Gordon Stevenson, a seminal figure in No Wave and more, is our privilege. Thank you to everyone who asks questions and helps us get where we need to be.

He made the notorious film Ecstatic Stigmatic. He designed punk jewellery worthy of Westwood. He played in a ‘perfect’ band with Lydia Lunch. And now a newly discovered archive is casting new light on this star of the New York demimonde
