LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

BEHIND the COVER

Photography by Sofia Van Der Dys

LOCATION: Spring Street Studios DATE: August 8, 2013 | TIME: 8am – 6pm

REBELLION WAS RUNNING DEEP THIS MONTH AT THE 002 HEADQUARTERS SO IT IS NO SURPRISE WE WENT FOR A MORE EDGY PUNK-INSPIRED PHOTOSHOOT TO GRACE THE SEPTEMBER COVER. THE ONE-AND-ONLY MARZI HANDPICKED THE ATTITUDE-FILLED FASHIONS THAT PAY TRIBUTE TO THE MOVEMENT THAT MADE AN INDELIBLE IMPRINT ON MANY FACETS OF OUR SOCIETY. PAGE PARKES MODELS DONNED METAL STUDS, OUTRAGEOUS PLAID, SPIKED CUFFS, MOTORCYCLE BOOTS, RIPPED-AND-TORN PANTS, RETRO ROCK T-SHIRTS, FISHNET STOCKINGS…

UST AS QUICKLY AS I DAYDREAMED ABOUT SUMMER APPROACHING IT’S GONE IN A FLASH AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR FALL TO TURN ITS LEAVES AND WITH IT BRING SHORTER DAYS AND LONGER NIGHTS. HOW FLEETING MY LOVE AFFAIR AND LOYALTY TO SUMMER IS!

Sofia getting just the right shot!

Although I love long summer days and justification for wearing never-washed denim cutoffs (come on, admit you don’t wash yours nearly as often as you should), flats and tshirts everywhere, I can’t wait to have to be creative and dress up. And the punk trend for the fall has us smitten! (Check out the picture of me punked out! Follow me @valencarla and @002houston on instagram for the whole shoot from our Punk shoot which we’ll be posting all month.)

Marzi + Carla doing final adjustments on Sarah with Page 713. Bianca in her element! THIS GIRL defines punk – we think her hair+makeup nailed it!

I couldn’t help but reminisce of my high school days of angst and longing to know what the future held for me, listening to Nirvana and hanging out at coffee shops (Dolce and Freddo, anyone?) in plaid. OK, so I went a private all-girl school (I’m a fellow DASH – girl! Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart!) and had to wear plaid. But I wore mine with a gauntlet in my belly button and Birkenstocks with socks. The grunge in me gladly threw herself into the creative direction along with a Pandora station playing Hole, Nirvana, the Ramones and such. It’s funny how what’s old is new, what’s dorky is cool, what’s cool is gone, etc. It seems I am not the only one lacking in commitment to something – life is short so do what moves you. So if you’ve never been to an art opening, try one; we’ve got two in this issue, the 5th TX Biennial and Christine Argillet, daughter of Salvador Dali’s trusted advisor, both opening this month. Try a restaurant out of your comfort zone; pick one from the three featured in this month’s Open by Mia Pham. Check out a local band a la The Suffers, interviewed in Lance Scott Walker’s Recording. Or just learn about what’s happening in your city! Follow a trend or don’t, but whatever you do BE NICE, people! You never know what another human is going through and your kind gesture might be all they need in that moment.

Peace, Carla Valencia de Martinéz Editor-in-Chief | Creative Director

HERMANN PARK CONSERVANCY broke ground on a $5 million renovation to the historic main entrance to Hermann Park. The project, dubbed The Grand Gateway, is set to be completed in March 2014 to celebrate the park’s centennial. The area to be renovated includes Mecom Fountain to the Sam Houston Monument and the stretch of parkland on the esplanade between Fannin and Main known as Cravens Parkway. Renovations include extensive landscaping and seasonal plantings between the Sam Houston Monument and Mecom Fountain; improved walkways along Cravens Parkway to increase connectivity to neighborhoods and METRORail; pedestrian-scale lighting, benches and bike racks to provide convenience for walkers and bicyclists; and new drainage and irrigation to preserve the live oaks along Main Street.

BUFFALO BAYOU PARTNERSHIP received a $2 million gift from Silver Eagle Distributors, the nation’s largest Anheuser-Busch distributor and one of the largest Grupo Modelo distributors in the country, in support of the Buffalo Bayou Park – Shepherd to Sabine project. The 160-acre, 2.3-mile park west of downtown Houston is currently undergoing a $58 million renovation and the gift from Silver Eagle will be dedicated to improvements to the event meadow, or the main “bowl” where events occur inside Eleanor Tinsley Park. Houston-based Midway began construction to GREENSTREET, the downtown complex formerly known as Houston Pavilions. Changes to the 568,294sf property at 1201 Fannin Street include removing existing implements in the interior corridor while creating a new linear urban park within the center’s three blocks, among other improvements. Construction is slated to last between six and nine months with the property’s existing tenants continuing to remain open and operating during the renovations.

Although we’ve had a few open and close in town, hopefully DRYBAR’S will finally be a do. This is such a simple concept – “No cuts. No color. Just blowouts.” Founded by longtime stylist Alli Webb, Drybar has become a regular stop for celebs such as Cindy Crawford, Emma Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Zooey Deschanel, Rose McGowan, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Garner, Maria Shriver and Nicky Hilton. Drybar Houston will provide flawless blowouts at a flat price of $35, regardless of hair length or thickness (wash included!). Drybar’s style list reads like your favorite cocktail menu: the Cosmopolitan (lots of loose curls), the Straight Up (simple and straight), the Southern Comfort (big hair with volume), the Mai Tai (messy and beachy), the Manhattan (sleek and smooth) and for the little ladies, the Shirley Temple at $24. 1141 Uptown Park Blvd. Opens September 15. www.TheDrybar.com

ON OUR RADAR MITCHELL GOLD+BOB WILLIAMS IS SET TO OPEN THIS MONTH. THE HOME DESIGN STORE FEATURES TIMELESS DESIGN FROM DUO GOLD AND WILLIAMS. ETSY recently prohibited the sale of ivory and all other products made from endangered species on its online shops. Etsy joins eBay as a leader in saving wildlife on the web. eBay voluntarily banned all animal ivory from its sites globally in 2008 after the release of the IFAW investigative report, Killing with Keystrokes. Now other web platforms like Craigslist, Bonanza and Google Shop should follow suit and do the same. Recently on these three sites IFAW found ivory, live parrots and tortoises, monkey bone and even rhino horn, all available for sale. We hope that these websites will follow the example of Etsy and eBay and move quickly to put an end to the illicit wildlife trade occurring online.

Tysh Mefford earned this accomplishment through consistent personal sales along with leading and coaching a team of over 7,000 global Stylists. In 2012 alone, Mefferd’s team sold over $23 million worth of accessories. Stella & Dot is a global fashion accessories firm. www.stelladot.com

LA REVÊ BRIDAL COUTURE is set to open in Sugar Land Town Square, specializing in the sale of designer wedding gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses, mother of the bride/groom dresses and accessories.

SO WEARING L’AGENT BY AGENT PROVOCATEUR WON’T MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE THE GORGEOUS CRUZ SISTERS, BUT IT’S AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO PENELOPE AND MONICA. THE PAIR CO-DESIGNED THE NEW LINGERIE COLLECTION AVAILABLE IN NORDSTROM STORES.

El Gran Malo is opening a second location downtown called EL BIG BAD taking over the old Cabo space and slated to open in early October. The infused tequila bar with gastro-cantina fare will feature 50 handcrafted tequila infusions including peanut butter, rye, horchata, vanilla habanero and roasted red beet, fresh-juice margaritas and cocktails and a generous selection of Mexican and Texas beer. The menu created by Chef Randy Rucker includes campechanas with gulf shrimp, huge pieces of crab, avocado; duck empanadas with black beans and chihuahua cheese; whole grilled market fish; and a roasted chicken with smoky tomato sofrito, pickled red onions, quinoa and sunflower seed pilaf. Clark Cooper Concepts opens COPPA OSTERIA early this month in the Rice Village area at Morningside and Dunstan. The laid-back dining option will offer a relaxed menu and friendly ambience. “The new Coppa Osteria is the perfect pairing of food and neighborhood,” said Grant Cooper, owner of Clark Cooper Concepts. “We think [it] will become the new backyard for the area. A cool place to come and hang out with friends and family – and we do all the cooking.” With a menu by Chef Brandi Key including new sandwiches and daily specials, we can’t wait for the street-side pizza window where passersby can buy a hot slice of pizza.

IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT TEXAS IS LEADING THE WAY IN CRAFT BEERS, RANKING NUMBER SEVEN IN THE U.S. FOR 2012 CRAFT BEER PRODUCTION WITH JUST OVER 700,000 BARRELS PRODUCED. ON THAT NOTE, SILVER EAGLE DISTRIBUTORS RECENTLY ADDED FIRESTONE WALKER BREWING COMPANY TO ITS DIVERSE OFFERINGS OF UNIQUE CRAFT BEER BRANDS.

CHEF’S SPECIAL

CHEF KEVIN NADERI

Photography by Kennon Everett

ROOST RESTAURANT

1972 Fairview St. | 713.523.7667 | cuisine: casual global | www.iloveroost.com FAVORITE PLACE FOR DESSERT? I’m on a diet; don’t be an enabler, 002!

FAVORITE LATE NIGHT SPOT FOR A BITE? Hollywood Vietnamese on Montrose. BEST BREAKFAST? Not really a breakfast guy. BEST BRUNCH? St. Genevieve in West Ave., baby! Keeps the party from Saturday going. WHAT INGREDIENT CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT IN THE KITCHEN AND WHY? Salt and vinegar. They are essential in lifting every dish and drawing flavor. Yeah, you just got a chef tip for free! WHAT UTENSIL CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT? Chef’s knife and our French cast iron skillets. Gives that awesome golden brown on proteins. WHAT’S YOUR PET PEEVE? Dirty kitchens and rude/boring clients. We aren’t Chili’s; try something new and trust us.

FAVORITES FAVORITE SANDWICH Uhhh, Central Market or Brown Bag Deli? I wish Eatzie’s was still around, that place was no joke. FAVORITE ICE CREAM MIX-IN/TOPPING Straight up coffee or amaretto from Marble Slab’s Gangster OG. FAVORITE TRUCK FOOD Eatsie boys’ snuggies. Add sriracha. FAVORITE SPOT TO EXERCISE/RUN Ha-ha! Good way to end this, with a joke.

FAVORITE AFFORDABLE WINE? Mohua Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Perfect for the Houston heat and you can thank me when you see me later.

AT HOME, WHAT DO YOU KEEP ON HAND TO SERVE DROP-IN GUESTS? ALCOHOL. ALWAYS STOPS THE WHINING.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHEF, RESTAURANT AND DISH? I appreciate a ton of Houston chefs so I won’t pick, but most recently I ate in Austin at Sway and Elizabeth Street Café. Renee Ortiz is killing it and Larry McGuire and Tom Moorman are like my new idols. Lee Ellis and Lance Feagan, holler. Y’all are branding and design beasts right now. IS THERE A FOOD YOU WON’T EAT? Can’t do the texture of raw sea urchin. DO YOU HAVE A COOKBOOK PUBLISHED? Hell no, that’s a headache just thinking about it. You want it, come to Roost! WHAT IS YOUR COMFORT FOOD? Anything cooked by my mom or grandmas. Also, Colombian food for some reason, weird. DO YOU USE A RECIPE OR WING IT? Wing it. What the hell do I look like, a chef? WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE NEXT FOOD TREND? Vegetables. And Sweden/Denmark/ Canada. WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN YOUR HOME REFRIGERATOR? Pickles. Damn, I love pickled things. WHAT MAGAZINE COVER, OTHER THAN 002’S, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE FEATURED ON? Time, Person of the Decade! Watch out, people, it’ll come. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TELL US YOUR WORST CLIENT EXPERIENCE? Too many to name. I hate when diners THINK they know more about a dish or ingredient than you and you just nod and say yes, ma’am/sir.

DINE WRITE

TAKING BARBECUE TO THE NEXT LEVEL

AS A NATIVE TEXAN I’VE ENJOYED QUITE A LOT OF BARBECUE. IN HOUSTON, DALLAS WAY, IN AUSTIN, THE HILL COUNTRY AND CERTAINLY IN THE TENDER, JUICY REGION OF LULING-LOCKHART. But something special is about to happen in Pearland. The other day I had the good fortune of visiting with RONNIE KILLEN at his nationally recognized Killen’s Steakhouse. Killen grew up in Pearland, but his reputation is bigger than Texas. He did the whole Le Cordon Bleu thing, top of his class. He was in the running to become chef at the White House. His Steakhouse has been recognized as a top 10 steakhouse in the country by the likes of Food & Wine magazine, Travel & Leisure and Gayot, et al. And as we talked about the fine art of smoking, he was getting ready for the first annual StarChefs.com Smoke@ICC, a competition of 10 world-class BBQ teams taking place in New York City late in September. Killen is passionate about barbecue. He can know whether a brisket will cook

well just by touching it. There are plenty of techniques, different dry rubs, wraps, etc., but Killen’s approach is about starting with the best product, USDA Prime beef, salt and black pepper. That’s it. That’s how much knowing your woods and how they burn, and the mastery of your pit comes into play. “It’s a labor of love,” Killen said. “I get asked all the time, ‘what’s harder, barbecue or steak?’ Barbecue is much harder. You’re looking at 15, 16, 17 hours to smoke a brisket. You’ve got to love what you’re doing.” Killen’s Barbecue will be served on butcher paper, cut right in front of you. And, though the food will be “the best barbecue, period,” it will be priced pretty much like other places. The sausage will be tagged as a premium item, but since he’s making it himself, using brisket and pork loin, no filler, it will be something special. PULLED PORK, TOPPED WITH RAMEN SLAW

KILLEN’S BARBECUE

BEEF RIBS

September 13 Issue_002houston 8/22/13 12:27 PM Page 17

2 MEAT PLATE

OPENING

IT’S LOOKING LIKE A LATE NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OPENING.

SAMPLE MENU BY THE POUND Brisket $14 Pulled Pork $14 Beef Ribs $12 PLATE 1 Meat, 2 Sides $8.25 2 Meat, 2 Sides $10.75 3 Meat, 2 Sides $14 SANDWICHES Pulled Pork, 1 Side $7.25 Chopped Beef, 1 Side $6.50 SIDES Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Baked Beans DESSERTS Pecan Pie $4.50 Banana Pudding $4.50

“I want every item to be the “best I’ve ever had” for anyone who tries it,” Killen said. “If I can’t make it a 10-best barbecue place in the country, I don’t want to do it.” The location itself, on Broadway, is historically significant. When Killen was in high school it was an administration building, and he’d walk across the street to do student aid work there. In 1951, it was the cafeteria for students in several Pearland schools. Recently, on weekends, Killen has a pit outside at the new location to share a bit of what’s coming. Beginning at 11am he serves brisket, pulled pork, ribs and more until, as they say, “the ‘Que runs out.” Folks have been showing up at 9am, gladly waiting in the heat. Or rain. It’s looking like a late November or December opening. I can hardly wait. Before parting, Ronnie brought me a plate of ribs fresh off the pit. Best I’ve ever had.

CLASSIC AMERICAN FOOD — THE FOOD WE SAW ON “LEAVE IT TO BEAVER,” THE FOOD THAT WE ASSOCIATE WITH THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY UNIT — IS NOT SOMETHING YOU’LL FIND AT HIGH-END RESTAURANT WITH A CHEF AT THE HELM AND SERVICE TO MATCH. But that’s what’s on the menu every day at Frank’s Americana Revival, the new incarnation of the old Frank’s Chop House on Westheimer at Weslayan. Open up the menu, and you just might get hit with a wave of nostalgia as you see dishes like chopped sirloin steak, buttermilk fried chicken, veal liver and onions jump out at you enticingly. In fact, I had a hard time ordering the first time I visited because I wanted to order more than half the menu. Would I get the New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp appetizer or the Hill Country

new

smoked barbecue ribs to start? The fried green tomatoes sounded good, as did the chicken pot pie. Oh, and how long has it been since I’d had a bona fide, made to order, chopped sirloin steak, complete with whipped potatoes and a mushroom demi-glace? Maybe never — never, that is, until Frank’s. My friend and I spent considerable time negotiating what we wanted for our entrée, with me vacillating between the chicken fried steak and the maple brined double-bone pork chop and him trying to choose between the chunky pasta sugo rosa and buttermilk fried chicken. In the end, we compromised on a bit of everything, letting Executive Chef Albert Estrada wow us with his chef’s interpretation of home-cooked goodness, because that’s what you’ll get at Frank’s: classic American dishes with a touch of gourmet, the kind of food you grew up loving, only better.

Imagine making a visit to your local jeweler, only to stumble upon one of the best sushi restaurants in town. That’s what might happen if you visit Nazar’s Fine Jewelers on the corner of Westheimer and Fountainview and decide to stop in for sushi at MF Sushi, which is housed in the same strip mall.

Tuna Tataki wrapped around Kaiware w/ thinly sliced Yuzu & Ikura

Now in Houston, the quality and purity of what Kinjo is doing is still evident when you OPENING TO LITTLE FANFARE, MF SUSHI IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT sit down at the hand-polished bar for his omakase. Course after course, he’ll wow you YOU WOULDN’T DRIVE BY AND SEE. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THE with dishes like his signature sashimi plate of precision-perfect slices of kinmedai (goldBLACK AWNING WITH THE SIMPLE, WHITE MF LOGO THAT FORETELLS OF en eye snapper). THE GREATNESS INSIDE. His nigiri sushi just might make your eyes roll into the back of your head when you taste But that’s what you get when you visit MF Sushi: truly great, traditional, Japanese- the interplay between fish, rice and nikiri glaze that he bastes on top. I had one of the style sushi. This is because the team that’s behind MF – sushi chef Chris Kinjo best pieces of toro (fatty tuna) in my life at MF Sushi – so marbled and glisteningly fresh, and brother Alex – have done it before. They were famous in Atlanta for MF I practically had a food-gasm right then and there. Buckhead, where Kinjo’s 30-course omakase, or tasting menu, commanded $300 per head a night. In fact, in 2009, Bon Appetit magazine even named So don’t let the location fool you – Chris “Magic Fingers” Kinjo definitely makes MMF Buckhead one of the Top 10 Sushi Restaurants in the country. Freakin’ fantastic sushi. And it’s well worth the trip outside of the loop for a taste of what http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/article/top-10-sushi-spots he can do.

THE PALM CUISINE American | 6100 Westheimer Rd. | 713.977.2544 | www.thepalm.com

re-opening

HOURS: Lunch: Mon – Fri, 11:30am – 3pm Dinner: Mon – Fri, 3pm – 11pm, Sat, 5pm – 11pm Sun, 5pm – 10pm

THE PALM IS DEFINITELY WHAT ONE WOULD CONSIDER AN “OLDIE BUT A GOODIE.” The Houston classic on Westheimer, which recently underwent a complete renovation, has reemerged stronger and swankier. Like newly polished silver, it positively shines. Stepping into its doors for the first time since the renovation, I was greeted by a lively bar scene, which I’m told begins around 3pm daily. In the dining room, the freshly painted scenes of Houston, and caricatures of local celebrities and Palm A-Listers (with plenty of space to add more), provided the setting for The Palm reimagined. Renovations aside, going to The Palm means you’re in for an experience, starting with a daily ritual that’s been dubbed the “Lobster Parade.” A Palm tradition, the Lobster Parade involves a server parading around the room with one of the night’s largest live lobsters, visiting each table for pictures or just some gawking. You can see the lobster’s eyes moving, its appendages twitching. If you’re not squeamish, it’s an enticing spectacle. Rest assured that when the server leaves your table, even if you didn’t plan on it, you’ll probably end up ordering the lobster. Which is exactly what my girlfriend and I did, selecting a four-pound lobster and 24-ounce bone-in ribeye Surf & Turf special to share. The sides come separately, so we chose steamed asparagus with bearnaise sauce, goat cheese mashed potatoes and creamed spinach as accompaniments.

With my “The Palm” bib tied around my neck, it was an undeniable feast. The natural sweetness of the plump, grilled lobster was enhanced with each dip of drawn butter; the thick and juicy ribeye, cooked to my exact specifications. By the evening’s end, dessert – a plate of their signature house-made donuts and a carrot cake – was just icing on the cake.

I will never grow tired of working in the light-filled surroundings of PONDICHERI in West Ave. It is my go-to spot for writing and for meetings, where I often force my favorite dish on people: Papdi Chaat, tamarind seeds mixed with yogurt, cilantro chutney and lentil dumplings. Like everything on the menu – from sweet to savory – it is a rich blend of flavors and spices you just won’t find anywhere else in the city.

We are moving to a new house, so my weekends are spent scouring antique stores and secondhand shops – INSTALLATIONS IN THE HEIGHTS is a must, along with Found, Brown, The Guild Shop and The Blue Bird Circle. This rug is a recent find from The Guild Shop. I stalked it until it went down to the lowest price. All the price tags at the thrift shop indicate three upcoming dates on which the item will be lowered in price.

LITTLE WOODROW’S ON SHEPHERD

LITTLE WOODROW’S, BIG DIFFERENCE

LOCK 7 (R.I.P.) WAS SUCH A GREAT REUSE OF AN OLD BUILDING, ALWAYS HAD A SOFT SPOT FOR THE PLACE. LUCKILY, ONE OF OUR FAVORITE LOCAL BARS, OWNED BY A GREAT LOCAL GUY, SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN WHAT AMOUNTS TO THE BIGGEST, BADDEST, LITTLE WOODROW’S-IEST BAR OF THEM ALL.

You know exactly what you are going to get when you to go a neighborhood Little Woodrow’s. Pick any one of the six in Houston, you will not be disappointed. This Little Woodrow’s (720 Shepherd) is definitely the biggest of the six. The interior boasts a lounge area, pub area, sports area, patio out front and a huge game room inside, all done up in that beer-themed, ranch-style décor Little Woodrow’s is known for. Over 8,000sf of party is here for your enjoyment. The actual bar, which management touts as the ‘longest bar in Houston,’ is built out of wood from an old New England barn. Well played, Little Woodrow. Little Woodrow’s prides itself on having ‘the very best service in town’; now they have some ‘pretty darn good food’ as well. Our lunch (Friday + Weekends only, for now) consisted of a badass TEXAS burger on jalapeno cheddar bread served with all the right fixings and perfectly crispy fries. Thank you, sir, may I

have another! The mile high nachos were also a huge (pun intended) hit. Little Woodrow’s menu has a solid selection of starters, wings, some comfortable main dish items and even a few salads for those who care about filling out the daily food pyramid.

The drinks, Little Woodrow’s staple offering, didn’t disappoint either. Any given day about 50 beers are on tap, and the regularly updated menu breaks down the offerings into categories everyone will enjoy. Not a beer drinker? A stout selection of Bourbons, Whiskeys and Scotches amongst the spirits will make grown man weep for joy. Or, try a frozen 720 Shepherd Dr. | Houston, TX 77007 woody (peach and rum concoction) for some real fun. 832.804.9941 | www.littlewoodrows.com

HOURS: Mon – Thu: 3pm to 2am, Fri – Sun: 11am to 2am KITCHEN HOURS: Mon – Thu: 3pm to 11pm, Fri & Sat: 11am to Midnight Sun: 11am to 11pm

THE BIG DIFFERENCE? WELL, SIZE, FOOD AND AUTHENTICITY. LITTLE WOODROW’S HAS IT.

TEXAS BIENNIAL

by Susan M. Bynam | Photograph by Grabriella Nissen

EMBRACING COLLABORATIONS WITH NUMEROUS ARTISTS AND A ROSTER OF DISTINGUISHED ARTS ORGANIZATIONS, EDUCATORS, HISTORIANS AND CRITICS ACROSS THE STATE HAS MADE THIS LONG-STANDING EXHIBITION A FRONTRUNNER FOR WITNESSING THE GREATEST HITS IN CONTEMPORARY ART ACROSS TEXAS. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN ’05 BY A GROUP OF ARTISTS IN AUSTIN, THE TEXAS BIENNIAL HAS EXPLORED A SUNDRY OF EXHIBITION FORMATS AND CURATORIAL MODELS – WITH ITS SIGNATURE OPEN CALL FOR ART REMAINING THE CENTRAL FEATURE OF THE PROJECT. OVER THE YEARS, THE BIENNIAL HAS GROWN TO INCLUDE AN ARRAY OF OTHER EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMMING – PURPOSEFULLY TO COMMEMORATE CONTEMPORARY ART IN THE LONE STAR STATE.

New York-born current director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Bill Arning, along with 13 others are curators for this year’s Biennial – each armed with an arsenal of knowledge in contemporary art. Per Arning, “The Biennial has evolved into a significant project for art enthusiasts and I couldn’t be more excited about this year’s exhibition! All curators were invited to attract artists (those 7 artists I selected have works in drawings or performance video), secure their work and participate in the open call process. Our core group of curators have unique vision and rich experience, which makes our collaboration worthwhile. And, for the first time in the project’s history, the curated group survey that is the central feature of the 2013 Biennial will be installed in a single venue (September 5 – November 9 at Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum in San Antonio) and will repre-

sent hot picks from the open call. Additionally, from August 23 – September 28, the Lawndale Art Center in Houston will host a special edition of current work by selected past Biennial, artists (i.e., Texas Biennial Invitational featuring Christie Blizard, Marcelyn McNeil, Tom Orr and Brad Tucker)—two of whom (McNeil and Tucker) have also been selected for the ’13 Texas Biennial group survey exhibition in San Antonio; simultaneously, the Big Medium in Austin will present New and Greatest Hits: Selected Work by Texas Biennial Artists 2005-2011, featuring past Biennial entries and recent work by 26 artists. We’ve all worked extremely hard to ensure that this 5th anniversary edition is a success.” To experience the entire Biennial, plan to hit the highway to see all shows in four cities: Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.

RECORDING

THE SUFFERS

Interview by Lance Scott Walker

Photography by Anthony Rathbun

KAM FRANKLIN AND NICK ZAMORA

Kevin Bernier, Adam Castaneda, Jose Luna, Kam Franklin, Jon Durbin, Nick Zamora, Cory Wilson, Patrick Kelly, Alex Zamora, Michael Razo

OUSTON’S OWN 10-PIECE SKA/SOUL/JAMAICAN ROCK-STEADY ENSEMBLE, THE SUFFERS, CAN READILY BE DESCRIBED IN THOSE MUSICAL TERMS, BUT THEY’RE REALLY AN ANSWER TO ANY NUMBER OF MUSICAL GENRES IN AND AROUND THOSE — A TIGHTLY THREADED MIX OF STYLES THAT HAS WON THEM ACCOLADES (AND AWARDS) ALL OVER THE CITY. THE GROUP IS COMPOSED OF FOUNDERS ADAM CASTANEDA (BASS) AND PAT KELLY (VOCALS, KEYBOARDS), ALONG WITH JON DURBIN (TRUMPET), MICHAEL RAZO (TROMBONE), KEVIN BERNIER (GUITAR), JOSE “CHAPY” LUNA (PERCUSSION), CORY WILSON (SAXOPHONE), AND ALEX ZAMORA (GUITAR/VOCALS), NICK ZAMORA (DRUMS, VOCALS) AND KAM FRANKLIN (VOCALS). BELOW IS A CONVERSATION WITH NICK AND KAM, RIGHT AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE BAND’S FIRST SINGLE.

SO YOU FINALLY GOT THE SINGLE OUT. Kam: Yes, we finally got the single out! But it’s also just a little bit more added pressure for the next thing to come out! Because the single is only two songs, and I guess my brain is always on the next thing. But I’m just glad that we finally have something out. WHAT MADE IT THESE TWO SONGS — “SLOW IT DOWN” AND “STEP ASIDE”? WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE THESE TWO FOR THE SINGLE? Nick: We just kind of picked two songs we felt were representative of our sound. One is a little more rocksteady and has that flavor, and the other one’s a little more R&B. One features Kam on vocals, one features Pat on vocals. And we figured — you know, to get something out that we felt strongly about, like those two were our best bet. And it worked out in terms of format and whatnot. It’s easy to put out a 7-inch with two songs versus dealing with three or four, and the logistics of getting it onto the vinyl and whether or not

38. september 13 | www.002mag.com

we’re going to do a CD or anything. We wanted to put out the best songs that we had, that we started with, and so we just had to kind of like cut the fat. But the positive is that it’s changed the way that we approach this next record, and the way we think about the releases of the future in that we really need to, you know, think hard and be selective and critical about our writing and what ends up getting put to tape to begin with. Because, you know, that’s… that’s the stuff where the time doesn’t cost as much as when you’re in the studio or when you’re… you know, you’re already committed to something on tape and then you’re just like, “No, I have to go back.” So, you know, I think it’s in general a good struggle and learning experience for us to do this vinyl and then learn something about pre-production and whatnot in the process. KAM, YOU MENTIONED PRESSURE NOW TO WORK ON ANOTHER PROJECT, BUT THERE HAD

TO HAVE BEEN SOME PRESSURE ON YOU GUYS — IN YOUR TWO YEARS, YOU’VE COLLECTED A LOT OF AWARDS AND ACCOLADES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. THERE’S GOT TO BE SOME SORT OF RELEASE, GETTING THIS OUT NOW, RIGHT? Kam: It feels really good to have the vinyl in hand. If someone asked me to hear some produced music from us, I can actually deliver that now, and it’s definitely a weight off my shoulders. I’m just a very Type A, go, go, go personality. To where, I feel like even if I take a break to enjoy what’s happening around me, there’s someone out there that’s probably working harder [laughs]. That’s just how I am. I’m really excited about it, but the pressure’s on, and I’m just in go mode and I just wanna get the next thing out.

RANDOM, UNEDITED MUSINGS WITH

COURTNEY

LOVE

BETWEEN MACHINE GUN NAME-DROPPING AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE SLURRING WE GOT AN EXCLUSIVE 15-MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH THE ICONIC COURTNEY LOVE. IN THE MIDST OF STROLLING DOWN L.A. BOULEVARDS, ART, HER UPCOMING MEMOIR OUT IN DECEMBER 2013 AND PERPETUAL ROCK AND ROLL LIFESTYLE, LOVE COVERS IT ALL WITH OUR ART DIRECTOR, ALEX ROSA, BEFORE HER PRETTY AMAZING SHOW AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES. By Alex Rosa | Photography by Dana Mansbart

LOVE Yeah, I am an artist. I had a great show that my friend David LaChapelle pressured me into doing as well as Julian and his daughter Lola (Schnabel). I sold quite a bit of it and then put it in a museum. It’s a slow process and I kind of got interrupted in the middle of it because of a legal battle David’s having… ROSA I wanted to ask you about your drawings? LOVE That’s what I’m talking about. That’s when I started doing smaller ones. So I bought really good paper. So the first thing I did, I was with David and Daphne Guinness and I drew this picture of Daphne on fax paper, you know, I draw in certain way. And I have… I have a painting of Kurt somewhere, I don’t know where it is, I think it’s in storage. It cost a fortune, I actually got it from her (Daphne), I don’t want to get into it. And then I have two Polly Morgans, she is a taxidermy artist, she’s now a chachi. I’m her first client. Kate Moss was her second and Damian was her third. It’s funny, this morning I was texting with Sam Taylor-Wood who sort of chose to leave that world and now she’s directing 50 Shades of Gray. Kind of weird and exciting and crazy for her because she just walked out of that world. You know she was married to Jay Jopling (art dealer), Jay and Sam were really mentors to me. You know I’ve been around for a long time, I generally know what I’m dealing with. Jay gave me a neon light that I never plugged in and I broke it which is kind of stupid. It said “Oy C*nt.”

40. september 13 | www.002mag.com

LOVE Can we talk about rock please? Because I almost canceled Texas ‘cause the ticket count blows…I’m actually coming out and I’m probably going to lose money… I mean I adore this cute little interview about art, but let’s talk about rock. ROSA Tell me about this tour and any new music. LOVE No problem, I go out shopping more than you’ll ever dream of, so don’t worry about it, it’s no big deal…(referring to low ticket sales). I thought that we would have a new single by now and we don’t clearly, or you’d be hearing it. We are going to put the single out when my book comes out at Christmas. This is sort of a warm-up thing. My band went ahead of me to Texas instead of staying in L.A., since we had a really weird five-day break. They’ve never been to Texas, so they are raising hell God knows where. All tattooed up with long hair at truck stops, you know the typical thing. So they’re in Texas and we’re Houston and Dallas, and I think that’s it – and we’re out of there. ROSA Well, I really look forward to seeing your concert. LOVE This is just a warm up. Next time we play there, it will be a much bigger venue which will be in Christmas, so for anyone coming out we are going to be playing songs from older albums, you see, real fans are coming to this so can’t really play anything new. The more obscure the better. We learned three new songs just for Texas. Y’all should just come on down and see us rock.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF

DALI: CHRISTINE ARGILLET REFLECTS ON A CHILDHOOD SPENT ALONGSIDE THE ECCENTRIC ARTIST, AS SHE BRINGS HIS WORK TO HOUSTON

By Nadia Michel

CHRISTINE ARGILLET & DALI

HOUSTON GETS A DOSE OF SURREALISM THIS MONTH WHEN SALVADOR DALI: THE ARGILLET COLLECTION ROLLS INTO TOWN SEPTEMBER 21 – SEPTEMBER 29. OFTEN CREDITED WITH TEACHING ANDY WARHOL HOW TO BECOME FAMOUS, DALI’S BODY OF WORK FREQUENTLY GETS OVERSHADOWED BY HIS NOTORIOUS PUBLIC PERSONA. “He created a public persona which was eccentric, extravagant, everything was exaggerated. But on another side, Dali was very shy. It was quite easy because he had a fabulous imagination. At any second, he could find something extravagant to say or to create or draw,” says Christine Argillet, whose father, Pierre Argillet, was a close friend and publisher of Dali’s work. “I remember my father looking at him in certain situations and saying ‘Oh, I hope he’s not going to go too far.’ He was always doing more and more. His extravagance was making us forget who he was.” Argillet grew up around Dali, spending her summers next to his home in Northern Spain. “It was for a very specific reason: My father had a contract with him and Dali had sometimes sold the pieces that were for the contract. Dali would say ‘don’t worry, I can do others!’ But my father was very worried by that, so he decided around 1959 that we would spend July and August in that small inn – which still exists, by the way – in front of Dali’s house on the Mediterranean Sea.” “He was a big workaholic. From the hotel, you could see his studio and you could see the light at six in the morning, really early. After working the entire day,” she says, “around five or six o’clock, he would come see us at the hotel and have a nice time, or we would go to his place. So I saw him almost every day for many summers, mostly between the ages of six and 17.”

“It was a lot of fun to be close to him. He was a very humorous and very charming man.” She recalls times when he convinced her that his Eau de Cologne, aptly named Moustache, would make his mustache move on its own, with the help of some magic herbs he had added to it. Another time, he convinced her that some jasmine flowers placed on the nightstand would ensure one would have the most wonderful dreams. The collection on view includes an Aubusson tapestry, which Dali produced in collaboration with Pierre Argillet in 1973. Etchings, watercolors and some rare collector’s items will also be available for acquisition. Christine Argillet is scheduled to make two scheduled special appearances for the public: Saturday, September 28, from 6 – 8pm and Sunday, September 29, from 2 – 4pm. All appearances are free to the public, but RSVPs are required.

ALTHOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THE NAME GEORGE MITCHELL (UNLESS YOU LIVE IN THE WOODLANDS), YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE PROBABLY EXPERIENCED SOMETHING IN THE CITY AND SURROUNDING AREA THAT HE HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON. THIS LOCAL VISIONARY PASSED AWAY LAST MONTH AND THOSE WHO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH THE LEGEND CONTINUE TO FULFILL HIS VISION FOR HIS COMMUNITY. Just like Judge Roy Hofheinz and the Astrodome, George Mitchell changed the Greater Houston Area and added to its stature. He will be forever remembered as a philanthropist who helped shape the State of Texas and the world with his innovative ideas on energy, community development, science and technology. Mitchell founded and nurtured The Woodlands, a multi-generational community that provides an unparalleled way of life for over 100,000 people and has attracted 1,900 companies to the Houston area. He created one of the most successful models for master-planned community developments in the world by providing for the civic, cultural and spiritual needs of residents as well as superior infrastructure, all with extreme care for the forested environment. He also was a key figure in the rebuilding of The Strand in Galveston, his hometown.

The Wesley Community Center is having their 2013 Spirit of Helping luncheon on Wednesday, October 2 at the Junior League of Houston. The speaker this year is Dr. Ruby K. Payne who will be presenting on “A Framework for Understanding Poverty.” LATONYA Almost two years ago, LaTonya, a single mother of five, found herself in dire need, seeking housing assistance from Wesley. She had been laid off her home health worker job of five years. Just prior to the lay-off, she had started school to become a Certified Nursing Associates (CNA).

One week before her exams, she ran out of funds for everything. Forced to either find funds or give up her dreams, she turned to Wesley for help. Staff provided her with emergency rent assistance to keep her in her home. They also gave her a scholarship to complete her CNA training and take her exam. Efforts by Wesley staff were also able to help her secure phlebotomy training and obtain her certification. LaTonya now works for Memorial Hermann Hospital where she has been employed for almost two years. With each increase in training, she has improved her ability to increase her income. www.wesleyhousehouston.org.com

AN OPEN EXCHANGE WITH

ALL THE WHITE MOVES

BILL WHITE

by Tricia Harrison

Photography by Sofia van der Dys

EFORE SITTING DOWN TO INTERVIEW BILL WHITE, HOUSTON’S FORMER THREE-TERM MAYOR AND 2010 TEXAS GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, I HAD HEARD AND READ A LOT ABOUT HIM. I FULLY EXPECTED TO MEET AN EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, MODERN-DAY RENAISSANCE MAN. AFTER ALL, HE HAS PRACTICED LAW, RUN AN ENERGY COMPANY, BEEN A SOUGHT-AFTER BUSINESS CONSULTANT, WORKED TIRELESSLY AS A PUBLIC SERVANT, INCLUDING SERVING AS U.S. DEPUTY SECRETARY OF ENERGY UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON, AND IN HIS SPARE TIME, RUN MARATHONS. BUT, WHAT REALLY STRUCK ME IS HOW TOTALLY WARM HE IS. THE INCREDIBLY SWEET AND WONDERFULLY FUNNY WHITE RECENTLY SHARED A RANGE OF INSIGHTS WITH ME AT HIS DOWNTOWN OFFICE.

HARRISON: SO, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOU MISS MOST ABOUT BEING A FIVE-YEAR-OLD? White: The sense that life is ahead of you.That’s why, sometimes, people in my family say I’m a big kid. In part, because I like to try new things. HARRISON: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE IS? White: Give more than you take every day. Take one day at a time. Try to find your gift and take pride in tasks. I try to balance a few key things that my wife says are like the legs on a chair, and that you need in order to be stable. Take care of yourself physically. Pay attention to the spiritual side, which means you’re not the center of the universe. And then, you ought to do some public service for others. From my experience, people that find that kind of balance tend to be happier. HARRISON: IF TOMORROW WERE PREDETERMINED TO BE A PERFECT DAY FOR YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? White: My wife and I joke from time to time about this topic. There’s not just one, but great elements are having some of my kids around, getting in a morning exercise, doing some productive work that I enjoy and having a good dinner with my family or friends…and doing something like I’m doing tonight – on the day of this interview – which is watching my San Antonio Spurs hopefully win an NBA Finals.

46. september 13 | www.002mag.com

HARRISON: OKAY, SO YOU’RE EATING AT A TABLE WITH FIVE OTHERS, ALL OF WHOM ARE DECEASED, WHO IS SITTING THERE WITH YOU? White: Great question. A fella named Lucien Flournoy – from Alice, Texas – whom I miss very much. Family friend, Maconda O’Connor. She was a great person, philanthropist, social worker and daughter of George Brown – but humble as could be. Someone else I miss a lot is Karen Susman, who I used to run with. My brother is no longer with us, and from time to time, I still want to share something special with him. And then, I’ve lost my dad. We used to watch sporting events together, and if we were at a spot where there was a TV with a ballgame on, then I’d still want him to be there. HARRISON: I KNOW YOU’LL BE THINKING OF HIM TONIGHT. IF YOU COULD ASK GOD FOR ONE FAVOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? White: To remember each morning that life is a gift.

Founder and CEO of Harrison Coaching + Consulting, a boutique coaching and consulting firm, Tricia Harrison is also a lawyer, writer, motivational speaker and champion of our triumphant human spirit.

EVENT BOB SCHNEIDER’S CD RELEASE PARTY

Bob Schneider performing live

The popular rooftop bar in Midtown, Proof Bar + Patio, hosted another intimate performance as part of their ongoing Summer Concert Series, by lyrical crooner Bob Schneider. Not only was the concert free to Houston fans but it was also Schneider’s cd release party for his much-anticipated album Burden of Proof. The location of the party was quite fitting given the album’s name, wouldn’t you say? Accompanied by his whole band, Schneider belted out emotion-filled lyrics for over two hours and packed the house. He covered classics like “Tarantula,” “Big Blue Sea” and “40 Dogs” to name a few, while introducing fans to his most ambitious and sophisticated album to date, including the first single off the album “Unpromised Land,” which proved to be a crowd favorite.

EVENT SILVER JEANS CO. LOFT GRAND OPENING AT THE WOODLANDS MALL

Michael Silver

Celebrating the opening of the first ever Silver Jeans Co.™ Loft at The Woodlands Mall, the denim brand skipped a traditional ribbon cutting, instead opting to drop a 30’x14’ sail cloth curtain complete with a countdown from local cheer squads, to reveal the interior of the new loft. The unveiling kicked off a daylong event program in the loft. Patrons were able to mix and mingle with founder and CEO Michael Silver and get personally fitted for denim by the Silver Jeans Co. Loft Jeaners. Men's Health Magazine kicked off the grand opening party with entertainment by local resident, DJ Ukemi while shop goers enjoyed local craft brews and savory hors d’oeuvres.

EVENT MIAMI VICE PARTY @ MR. PEEPLES

As if girls needed an excuse to party, right? Well, in case they did, their birthdays seemed like a legitimate one. Carla Valencia de Martinez of 002houston and Sarah Salinas of BohoBlack joined forces to throw a Miami Vice-inspired fete to celebrate big time. Guests forgot about flat hair and basic black, added a little 80’s volume to their tresses, swagger to their step and rolled up their blazer sleeves for one super fun night. Mr. Peeples’ upper level was decked out with pink flamingos, color feather garlands, sultry white lounge, glowing cocktail tables, a video projector and a white dance floor. Upon arrival guests were greeted and escorted by three Premier Promotion models – wearing nothing but bikinis, hot! A Deep Eddy bar provided guests with complimentary cocktails crafted with their famous Sweet Tea, Ruby Red and Classic Vodka. Delicious bites by Mr. Peeples fueled partygoers so they could dance the night away to DJ Senega’s electrifying 80’s beats. The evening’s highlights were the SmileBooth – guests let loose taking super fun and crazy pics – and a surprise dance routine choreographed by Grace Salinas for the Moonlight Dolls. Thanks to all the amazing sponsors for collaborating with us. You guys rock! Photography by Omar Mejia for Lastnightpics.com 50. september 13 | www.002mag.com

FAT FINDS

PUNK DOS Styled by: MarziFat | Photography: Sofia Van Der Dys | Model Page 713: Sarah Tierney Hair & Make-Up: Bianca Linette | Assistant: Gabrielle Hodge

AFTER THE PUNK THEME AT THE MET GALA THIS YEAR IT CAME AS NO SURPRISE THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST TRENDS THIS FALL WOULD BE PUNK. TO BRING THIS TREND TO LIFE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO EXTREME. DESIGNERS THIS SEASON HAVE MADE IT EASY TO INCORPORATE KEY WARDROBE PIECES TO PUNK/GRUNGE-IFY YOUR OUTFIT WITHOUT HAVING TO DO A COMPLETE CLOSET OVERHAUL. SIMPLY TRY ADDING 1 OR 2 PIECES TO AN OTHERWISE BASIC OUTFIT (LIKE I’VE DONE BELOW).

DAY I’d say a sweater, black boots and a pair of jeans is as basic as it gets. But here I substituted a basic denim with these plaid jeans and added a beanie – see how easy it is to instantly get a punk look? Because the outfit was so monochromatic I added a neon lip for a pop of color. (On a side note: There are rhinestones on the inside tongue of the boots!!!!!! OBSESSED!) Vince Sweater, Seven Jeans and Brunello Cucinelli Boots, all @ Neiman Marcus

night Start with your typical staples like a tank, skinny jeans, booties and a blazer. Substitute the booties for ones embellished with zippers. I added a plaid jacket and a layered necklace, instantly creating a punk vibe. April, May Jacket @ shopbop.com | Helmut Lang Leather Pants @ Neiman Marcus | Layered necklaces: Dannijo (top), Fallon (bottom)

IF YOU DON’T HAPPEN TO HAVE THE PUNK LIFESTYLE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE A FEW OF THE ELEMENTS – ZIPPERS, STUDS, PLAID, REDS, GRAYS, BLACKS, SILVER – AND ADD SOME TO YOUR OUTFIT.

Follow us on instagram for the month of September for more punk-inspired looks with special guests: BohoBlack and Bea Allen!! (@002mag @marzifat @valencarla)

THINGS I LOVE

Photography by Gabriella Nissen

I love how my laptop, iPad® and all my chargers fit in this Mon Venin clutch. It’s perfect when I’m running around – I throw in a moleskin with a pen and my cell phone and it’s my instant office on the go. It doesn’t hurt that it’s gorgeous. www.monvenin.com

THE SCENT OF THIS ODIN CANDLE CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS INTOXICATING. THE LUXE BLACK HOLDER AND WAX INSIDE INTRIGUE. IT’S THE SEXIEST, MOST MYSTERIOUS CANDLE I’VE EVER MET. CENTURY ODIN CANDLE AVAILABLE AT KUHL-LINSCOMB.

No matter how advanced we become technologically, no matter the fact that I can text or email a “thank you” quicker than I can verbalize one – there is nothing like a heart-felt, handwritten one. And gorgeous stationery makes it better. Alexa Pulitzer sea creature cards and initial stationery at Anthropologie.

Milk is the only hair product you need. 17 essential oils nourish, fight frizz, restore and promote growth. It smells amazing and the blowout I got with only this product withstood the test of Houston humidity. Available at the newly remodeled David Michael Salon.

Vonne’s magical all natural tins of lip balm, lotion and baby cream are a dream. Available on Etsy.

Competition is fierce, especially in the grocery store realm here in Houston. And although Kroger’s is not as pretty as Whole Foods or Central Market – I have to give them props for their client loyalty program. Besides the gas discounts, it’s these coupons catered to my shopping habits that make me smile more than the arrival of a FedEx® truck nowadays.

Contributing photographer Gabriella Nissen loves these Minimus barefoot running shoes from New Balance. “I bought them at Luke’s Foot Locker one week before my trip to Scandinavia (see Destination Copenhagen on page 62) and wore them every day. Most comfortable, lightweight shoe ever!”

MENTERTAINMENT

“There is no backstabbing here. It’s just business.” Brian De Palma returns to the sleek, sly, seductive territory of Dressed to Kill with an erotic corporate thriller fueled by sex, ambition, image, envy and the dark, murderous side of PASSION. The film stars Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace as two rising female executives in a multinational corporation whose fierce competition to rise up the ranks is about to turn literally cut-throat. With his trademark mix of wit, melodrama and lush cinematic style, De Palma peels back the layers of a spiraling murder mystery that is as full of jet-black humor and villainous fun as it is with doubts and suspense. For deep beneath the icy, cool veneer of modern life and work, De Palma playfully exposes a realm where the wildest passions rage. Opens at Sundance Cinema September 6.

Established in 1995, drawing inspiration from the skateboarding culture, 9Five offers a variety of sunglasses and prescription frames available through a free try-on program and can also be found at Sole Purpose. www.solepurposeboutique.com

WISE GUY By Tim Moloney

ONE OF MY HANG-UPS Apart from METRO buses, nothing bothers me more these days than people talking on their cell phones in public places. This is what dumb guys (and gals) do, folks. As a Wise Guy, I find it’s my duty to glare at them, roll my eyes, make aggressive gestures, etc., but nothing seems to work. Although cell phone jammers that disable other people’s calls are illegal in the US, pocket-sized jammers are available for sale online if you do a little searching, and schematics are readily available as well, if you’re the crafty type. I am not encouraging criminal behavior here, but don’t be surprised if you suddenly lose your call when you are on the treadmill next to me talking about last night’s Bachelor episode.

DINNER DATE This isn’t new, but have you tried the “5 for 6 ‘til 7” promotion at Fleming’s? They’ve changed up the menu and cocktail offerings recently, but essentially, you can get five amazing appetizers for just six bucks before seven o’clock. If you’re an early diner, which you should be, because eating after seven packs on the pounds (and because we’re not in Europe or Miami), you can make a dinner of a wedge salad, a few apps like beef carpaccio, mushroom ravioli, sweet chile calamari and a couple of frosty beverages and you’re under $50 for dinner for two. Take a date and act like you didn’t know that Fleming’s had such a great deal going. No one will be the wiser! 2405 West Alabama Street & 788 W. Sam Houston Pkwy North, www.flemingssteakhouse.com

TIE ONE ON When you’re a guy, even a Wise Guy, there’s not that much you can do to add some colorful individuality to business clothes…maybe a great tie, an interesting pocket square, semi-wild socks (see George H. W. Bush). Unless you work in fashion or a very creative field, you can’t afford to look like a fop. But I’ve found something simple, understated and cool that even the butchest and dullest among us can do: colored shoelaces for business shoes. I first saw these in Neiman Marcus last summer – laces in acid green, sky blue, deep purple. They make brown oxfords pop without being obnoxious. And they give your shoes a whole new life on the cheap! How wise is that? Check them out at www.maxtonmen.com/collections/shoes-socks.

DESTINATION

By Gabriella Nissen Photography by Gabriella Nissen and Quin Harris

COPENHAGEN

DENMARK

OPENHAGEN FREQUENTLY TOPS RANKINGS OF THE WORLD’S HAPPIEST, MOST LIVABLE AND BEST-DESIGNED CITIES. IT’S A GLORIOUSLY ATTRACTIVE CITY TOO, WITH ITS HISTORIC CITY CENTER, COBBLESTONE STREETS AND ANCIENT PALACES ALONGSIDE MODERN ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS. MOST OF ALL IT IS A CITY FOR PEOPLE. A PLACE WHERE THE HUMAN SCALE IS CHERISHED AND PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS RULE THE STREETS.

WHAT TO DO IN ONE DAY My husband Quin and I visited Copenhagen for just one day this spring. Neither of us had been to Copenhagen before so we decided to focus on the most wellknown spots in the city. Start at Nyhavn (New Harbor), a dock that was once the heart of the red-light district and is now a long strip of cafes, restaurants and bars in brightly colored 17th-century townhouses. White swans glide in the canal amongst the vintage boats and kayakers. We took a Canal Boat Tour to see some of the most scenic views of the city including the Opera House, one of the most modern opera houses in the world. Walking toward the harbor led us to the Amalienborg Palace, the winter home of the Danish royal family. Guarding the palace 24/7 are the Royal Life Guards in full dress uniform. Every day at noon they execute a changing of the guard in front of the palace. Continuing along the harbor front we strolled through Langelinie Park with its cherry trees in full bloom, showering us like snow with their pale pink petals. The park contains numerous monuments, gardens and statues including the city’s most recognizable icon, The Little Mermaid. It may be disappointing to see her surrounded by tourists, but take your cue from her, tune out the crowds and enjoy the view. We continued to the Rosenborg Castle Gardens, the country’s oldest royal gardens and today a popular retreat for the locals. Walking through the streets I began to understand the Danish concept of “hyggelig” or coziness. The streets 64. september 13 | www.002mag.com

express that coziness with inviting doorways, courtyards and well-used bicycles parked along sidewalks. One of my favorite sights was the charming shop signs. Next was the Rundetårn (Round Tower), built as an astronomical observatory. With no skyscrapers to block our view we could see the entire city with its redtiled roofs and church spires. As evening approached we headed for Tivoli, the enchanting park next to City Hall. Tivoli is for all ages, featuring theaters, restaurants, shops and amusement park rides set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens. We left at sunset but I hear Tivoli can be magical after dark with colorful lights and fireworks illuminating the gardens and lake. In the evening we walked along the Strøget, the pedestrian shopping street that winds through the city’s center. You can find Danish stores such as Illum Bolighus (luxury home goods) and Sand (fashion for women and men) to eclectic gift shops, restaurants and international chains. We ended right back at Nyhavn and a bustling night scene. People BYOB and sit along the canal edge with friends. As we walked back to our hotel we realized how remarkably safe we felt on the streets even at night. To learn more about Copenhagen, check out www.visitcopenhagen.com. WHERE TO EAT Copenhagen is a food destination thanks to the rise of New Nordic Cuisine and restaurants, such as Noma, focusing on fresh local ingredients. Near Langelinie Park we discovered Toldboden in an old renovated customs house (think industrial lounge atmosphere). Picnic tables with fur rugs draped over the benches with harborside views. We ordered a delicious lunch of fish and

Hotel Opera TordenskjoldsGade 15 Copenhagen 1055, Denmark Tel. + 45 3347 8300 www.operahotelcopenhagen.com hotelopera@arp-hansen.dk WHERE TO STAY

We stopped for coffee at Lagkagehuset, Denmark’s premier bakery chain. While we waited for our number to be called, we admired the beautiful breads, pastries and sandwiches (crusty baguettes filled with serrano ham, brie and arugula with homemade mayo). Their hot chocolate was superb. At one of the Pølsevogn (sausage wagon) carts Quin couldn’t resist sampling the quintessential Copenhagen street food, the hot dog. Pølsevogn food is getting healthier and some offer organic and even vegetarian hotdogs. If you have a picnic in mind I recommend Løgismose, a gourmet deli with beautifully presented organic meals and desserts ready for takeout.

6. I wanted to sample some Danish smørrebrød, traditional open-faced sandwiches usually served at lunch. Late in the evening we found some at Cafe Optimisten. The smørrebrød were an artful creation of marinated white and red herring with onions and delicious giant capers on rye. WHERE TO STAY The Hotel Opera is an old-style hotel full of charm, close to the Metro and city center and within walking distance to everything. A bonus is the free wifi in the entire hotel. The standard room was small but cozy with a comfortable bed and a clean, modern bathroom. The staff was helpful and friendly and spoke excellent English. Breakfast, included with the room, was a generous buffet complete with local breads, pastries, cheeses, meats, eggs and fruit with fresh coffee, tea and juice.

The Brew

CROSSWORD

by Scott Ward

BOOMTOWN Photography by Sofia van der Dys

COFFEE

THE WHO: Boomtown Coffee showed up on the Space City coffee scene about a year and a half ago. Nestled along 19th Street in The Heights, Boomtown’s nicely sized storefront offers a variety of seating in the cozy interior (think leather seating and the standard cafe tables) with a generous selection of reading material, games for kids of all ages and local art for sale on the walls. The scene includes your standard Heights area mishmash. Young hipsters, nerds, old folks, kids, dogs, cycling groups, Yelpers and average Joes can be found here on any given day. THE BREW: Much to our benefit, Boomtown sources beans from artisan coffee growers across the globe and roasts them in house. This results in extremely fresh and precise coffee; in any form you normally like it. Boomtown also has a fancy menu full of in-house created drinks. We especially enjoy the Crud, the Iced Toddy Mocha and the Mayan Mocha (cayenne pepper is in this drink!!). THE FOOD: Seriously, this kitchen puts out amazing food from the small menu. For breakfast, the Breffus sandwich and the breakfast taco are contenders for two of the best breakfast options in town. We are also huge fans of the house-made muffins, which rotate flavors daily, but always taste great. Boomtown also does a good job of rotating local food trucks for lunch and dinner so keep an eye on the Twitter. OVERHEARD IN THE CROWD: ‘So you are a fashionista, and a barista.’ Who was this about? You will know when you see him.
