Site changes and the snowpocalypse

The snowpocalypse. Snowmageddon. The ice-splosion. No matter what you've been calling it, there's no denying that this past week has been insane for those of us in Georgia! Athens was inundated with so much snow that the entire first week of school was affected by it, and many of the shows downtown faired no better.

So what's a snowed-in blogger to do? Well, after taking a photography tour of campus, poking ice-covered objects with sticks, and relaxing by the fireplace for a few nights, I realized there was no better time to begin a bit of a redesign of the ol' Echoreyn of Athens website! I'm a little over halfway through the overhaul, and I'm pretty pleased with the changes so far. Like the new navigation bar at the top? Now it's easy to get your Echoreyn of Athens fix of concert picks, venues, pictures, and more from one convenient place! And hey, you can still and visit our using the new buttons above as well.

The biggest change to the site so far is probably the inclusion of the brand new "About Echoreyn" page at the top. Be sure to click there for contact info and a bit about the EoA crew! Got any suggestions for how we can really spice up the site? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Shoot me an email at Echoreyn@gmail.com.

Another new addition is the "Featured Photo." Every week, that photo will change to a different one from our collection of Athens music memories. Want a photo of your own to be featured? Well, send it to the email address above with your name and a little description, and it just might find its way up there!

That's all for now, my friends! Go forth and frolic, but don't forget your gloves. See you downtown!

Echoreyn of Athens wants YOUR suggestions!

Hello, my friends! Hope you all are surviving this ridiculously indecisive weather. Want something to take your mind off your wet boots and your freezing hands?

Well, Echoreyn of Athens is planning a few things for the near future, but we need your help! Comment here or on the EoA facebook page, or hey, shoot us an email, and let us know which songs by Athens and Atlanta bands you think are the best love songs. How about the best breakup songs? The best makeout songs? Which songs make you think completely inappropriate thoughts, and which ones are just purely, blissfully beautiful? All suggestions are welcome! Just post a link to the song or music video and tell us why you think it fits one of these categories. If you've been dying to spread the word about your favorite underground band, today's a great day to do it!

As always, don't forget to click the Monthly Concert Picks button on the sidebar to check out some upcoming shows that are guaranteed to rock your socks off! And prepare yourselves... February's concert picks are coming soon!

You all are absolutely amazing! Thanks for reading! :)
