Any other UGA grads here? I just heard the GATH is burning down, right now.

Please say it ain't so!!! What a landmark, so many memories..

HERE!!!

OH NO!!!


That is a landmark!

I just saw the pictures on WSB..looks totally gutted. Wow, I could almost cry right now, what a loss.

MeMe: Do you have a link?

What is it with Georgia and this board?

Awful.

It looks salvagable to me. It looks like the brick structure held up well. They can save it, I bet. In the end, this fire will just add to the lore.

Thanks, MeMe.

I put that on my FB status. Makes me very sad. I had many a fabulous drunken time at the GA Theatre.

Are you kidding me? I can't even count how many times I passed out in the boxwoods running along the side of the building!

$5 to see Widespread Panic. In a venue that size. Too many others to name. Movie nights. So many great times there.

Even if they rebuild, it won't be the same. My shoes should stick to the floor juuust so in there.

RIP Original GATH.

I know what you mean.

"You can never go home again"

MeMe, were you the anon uga grad who posted here before?

I read about it this morning on ajc. Sad. I bet they'll rebuild it. And maybe REM and the B 52's can come for a re-dedication

Are those bands even around anymore? I haven't heard anything about them for probably 10 years, it seems.

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

Amber - I think posted something on the GA Guidestones thread and mentioned UGA, but I'm pretty sure it had my name on it.

Zhivago - what a fun word to say - yeah, they're still around. On the oldies tours, I guess. Most of REM still have homes in Athens. Great little town - not quite so much since Starbucks and all that crap violated it, but still a pretty cool music and arts scene. I miss that.

Yeah, Amber showed me around Athens a few years ago. I really liked it a lot! Very nice place, from what I saw.

B-52s are on tour now...
