The Four Hicemen?

1. Gordon Lamb

The Flagpole columnist commemorates three years of Athens Intensified with a jaw-droppingly great lineup of live music later this week. See this week's paper for more.

2. Todd Gurley

No game? No problem. Even in a bye week, the Heisman contender had no trouble retaining his slot on this list.

3. Elephant 6

The influential music collective is being feted with a season-long series of art exhibits that you should really check out if you know what's good for you. Seriously. Do it. Now.

4. Jody Hice

Blood moons! The gaypocalypse! A terrifyingly loose grasp of the Constitution! Ladies and gentlefolk: Your new congressman, probably.

5. Uber

It's here. What does it mean for the future of Athens' much-maligned taxi service? See this week's Flagpole for a full report.
