The cat’s meow

By Laura Kelly

How we are who we are

W

hen my 21-year-old niece Carmen moved in with me six months ago, we visited the Humane Society one rainy Sunday to select a cat to bring into our petless lives. Before we got there, I decreed that the animal would be named Walter Cronkite, no matter the gender.

Carmen was unfazed. She knew of my propensity for naming cats after broadcast journalists. She reminded me that when she was 8, her family had taken on two kittens they found abandoned in their neighborhood.

They—brother number one, my sis-in-law, Carmen and 6-year-old Lucas—bandied about names, but none stuck. Carmen and Lucas threw out suggestions like Puffy, Magic and Ketchup. Amateurs, clearly. I offered Connie Chung and Maury Povich, names so unfamiliar and unexpected the entire family went glassyeyed, fell silent and then agreed.

Carmen and I made a pact before we walked into the building. We said that perhaps Walter was there. Perhaps not. We wouldn’t rush it or force it. We would wait until we both knew it.

We were escorted through the dog corridor to the back of the building and into the Cat Room. We walked slowly down a narrow aisle past the rows of stacked cages, through the wafting smells of urine, abandonment and incarceration. We asked the worker to leave us alone with the cats, so we could call out Walter Cronkite until one of them meowed in response, made eye contact and extended a paw toward us, leading us to believe (as we must have needed to) that this animal was The One. We found her. Or really: She found us.

During the car ride home, I explained to Carmen the nuances of my cat naming protocol. For cats that belong to me, my system was more specific than merely broadcast journalist.

The cats I own must bear the names of dead, famous TV journalists. I don’t know why. My approach just evolved after I named my first two cats Huntley and Brinkley. They were a brother and sister from a neighbor’s litter when I was in college. They’ve been followed

by Howard K. Smith and Max Robinson. And now, of course, Walter Cronkite.

German woman at a conference. We met admiring one another’s shoes. Heidi worked as an advisor for the German Minister of Defense.

Things were going along just fine in our developing friendship until one night over dinner she told me that she could read the thoughts of animals. “I am especially good with cats,” she confided. “They are quite philosophical and specific, but sometimes their needs are very bourgeois.”

This is a true story. I spent the rest of the night searching her face for signs of lunacy or hints that she had been joking. Our friendship fizzled away after that. I found I just couldn’t rejigger my belief system or suspend my judgment long enough to find her not crazy.

But back to Walter Cronkite and this column, which I have written about cats and which, I fear, inches me publicly and perilously close to the dreaded territory of Cat Lady.

While I know that I don’t own a swarm of cats or live oblivious to the smells they introduce into a household or speak baby talk when they skulk into view, writing about a cat can encourage a disparaging label. I am a cat person, yes. I am not a cat lady. I state that for the record.

This isn’t about cats. It’s about idiosyncrasies, the small, quirky and custom-tailored ways our personalities curl and bloom. We individuate ourselves from the swarm of humanity with our eccentricities, our peculiarities. One of mine is my cat naming system. Maybe one of yours is about socks or driving or haircuts. We all have them, and yet they are all exclusive just to us. I like the tug and pull of that. I wrestle my peculiarities sometimes. I flinch from going public with them. But the older I get, the more I’ve decided to see them as sparklers that I light from time to time. When I do, they throw a fleeting light on my face and let the world see who I am.

Walter Cronkite, the cat. Photos by the author

We drove on, and I further detailed my taxonomy. Other cats in my general feline orbit are given the names of living TV journalists. (See Maury Povich and Connie Chung, above.) I told her about Sylvia Poggioli, the one exception thus far. Poggioli is a husky-voiced NPR reporter who is stationed in Rome. As far as I know she is very much alive. A few years ago I agreed to a threemonth cat-sitting gig for a friend bound for a

California Buddhist retreat. My friend called the cat Nuri, but that didn’t have sufficient melodic properties or enough syllables, so I rechristened her Sylvia Poggioli, a name that thrilled every time I called it out my back door at dusk, entreating the cat to make her way home for a bowl of chicken-flavored cereal pellets that she dove into with gusto.

When I was living in Central Europe 10 years ago, I befriended a formidably intelligent

Old is new

By Kelly Poe Wilson

W

hen my son, Clyde, was in first grade his teacher pulled me aside and offered to buy Clyde a new backpack.

It was very kind of her, and also very confusing. Clyde had a perfectly good backpack, one that he had had since kindergarten, which, as it turns out, was exactly the problem. All of the other kids had new backpacks, and Clyde, apparently, felt left out. As he and I walked home from school that day we talked about the reasoning behind buying something new every year, and the reasoning behind not doing so if you can help it. And when we got home, I showed him my 22-year-old daypack, and explained how the zipper had been replaced three times, and how the big blue stain on the front pocket was from the time a ballpoint pen had exploded in the desert heat. I even showed him a few pictures of me and the daypack enjoying the good life all over the world.

He ended up keeping his kindergarten backpack all throughout grade school.

I thought about this conversation just the other day when my daughter, Clementine, was packing for college. One of the things she wanted to go buy was new sheets.

“But we already have sheets,” I said.

“They’re old,” she replied.

At this point I tried to use the same tactic I had used on Clyde, but not surprisingly

The great college sheets frenzy my persuasive skills work better on a 5-yearold than an 18-year-old—clearly, as evidenced by the look she gave me when I told her that it was perfectly fine that she was taking Spiderman sheets to college since I had shown up with Sesame Street sheets. “It was kitschy,” I said. “Ironic.”

This argument probably would have been enough for a 5-year-old Clementine.

And maybe even enough for an 18-yearold Clyde. For an 18-year-old Clementine, however, it went over like the proverbial lead balloon.

“The very idea of Superheroes inherently supports the patriarchy,” she explained to me.

“There is nothing ‘kitschy’ or ‘ironic’ about the idea that women exist to support and be saved by men.”

“Well, yeah,” I said, “but …”

“Furthermore, while I recognize your need to project an infantilized version of me over the adult version in order to ease your fears about this transition, I hope you realize that even if I took those sheets with me, I would strip them from the bed and get rid of them the moment you left. So if you are really interested in the whole ‘reusing/recycling’ thing, then you’ll leave these sheets right here, where they might actually get used.”

This argument probably would have been enough for a 5-year-old Clementine. And maybe even enough for an 18-year-old Clyde.

For an 18-year-old Clementine, however, it went over like the proverbial lead balloon.

Well, damn. That argument got me halfway out the door to Target … until I remembered we also had some non-child themed twin sheets in gender-neutral tones of black and grey, and pulled those out of the closet instead. Ha! One point for Team Mom. At least, it was a point until we got to the actual dorm room, realized we needed a power strip (or 12), and ended up at Target anyway. And once we were in the land of fluffy pillows and matching throw rugs, all of my carefully constructed arguments about the need to consume less stuff went out the window (in order to make room for the matching chairs, probably.)

As I dashed down the aisles tossing in over-the-door coat racks and four-foot-long “body” pillows, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty at how much we were “consuming” in our consumer frenzy—at least until I got to the final aisle, and saw all of the sheets. All of those perfect, matching sheets, and resolutely turned around and walked the other way.

OK, I only got as far as the matching towels. But at least I can still (somewhat) proudly say that I didn’t buy new sheets.

The amount of records pumped out of Nashville, and not just through artists recording there but actually living in city limits, truly makes us wonder if every single human residing in the entirety of Nashville is a musician or was at one time or another. Another notch on the Tennessee town’s belt comes in the form of country duo Love and Theft. Between Stephen Liles and Eric Gunderson both taking on vocals and guitar, and at the risk of bursting bubbles, it’s unclear which is love and which is theft. Maybe it would help to know they formed with a third member who also sang and strummed. They made their chart debut in 2009 with “Runaway,” which climbed into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs, and followed with their first record, World Wide Open. With the duo’s twangy rhythms and happy-go-lucky lyrical attitude, they’ve launched into the charts and the shower-songbooks of fans worldwide, and continue to pump out the country time hits on their newest release, Whiskey on My Breath, which popped off in February. It’s all warm hearts with a dash of thievery at the Museum Club, 3404 E. Rte. 66. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music kicks off at 9 p.m. Tickets are $25. www.loveandtheft.com.

t’s only been a couple months since David Lowery’s Cracker bust it up on a local stage, opening for the ol’ Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers on America’s b-day. Sensing the fans itched for a sort of extended encore, he’s bringing the gang back again not just with Cracker but will add his other group, Camper Van Beethoven. The singer-songwriter has been a frontman for both bands over these outstretched years, kicking off CVB in the late ’80s and elevating the alternative scene of the time beginning with their cheerful tune, “Take the Skinheads Bowling,” which was later covered by Teenage Fanclub and featured in the 2002 Michael Moore documentary Bowling for Columbine. Cracker arrived in the early 1990s and had some modern-rock hits, including “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)” and “Low,” the later off their gold-selling album Kerosene Hat. Both bands have been active off and on through the years, but Cracker notably released its first album in five years at the end of 2014. It’s called “Berkeley to Bakersfield,” and the double album has one rock side and one country side.

The band has been known to dip into some “California country roots,” and will reprise at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the rock happens at 8 p.m. Tickets are $23–$27. To learn more, call 556-1580 or visit www.crackersoul.com.

Kudos to anyone who’s tried their hand at writing a play because it is hard work. Channeling your inner thespian and penning a play with a 10-minute maximum runtime, well, that can be harder still. The 48 playwrights from across these United States who submitted their work paid no mind to long hours at the keyboard, though, and only eight rose victorious—including the winner of the first-ever high school competition. These lucky few will now watch their words come to life in the Northern Arizona Playwriting Showcase. Now on its eighth year, the affectionately so-called NAPS has paired directors with actors, actors with roles, and roles with a generous helping of meats and cheeses—wait …

Sandwiched between nothing but each other, these plays trail the running themes of life like the lighthearted dealings of death and heartbreak, elation and reunion, however separate on the spectrum.

And whether novices or seasoned professionals, these eight winners have proved they are equipped to conquer these catalyzing themes that have 10 minutes to rise and fall in action. Make your weekend theatrical at the Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse, 11 W. Cherry. Fri and Sat performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sun at 2 p.m. There is a $10 suggested donation.

Flagstaff is about to get a big-city kick with a new festival taking town. AMFM: Flagstaff combines art, music, film and more (AMFM, duh) for a well-rounded experience complete with workshops—but read more about the whole shebang on page 14. The Cedric Burnside Project will tackle the musical facet of this fest with all the swagger and style the two-part group of delta bluesmen inherited and developed on their own. The band’s namesake descends from one of the most revered lineages in music. Hailing from the birthplace of the blues, Burnside is the grandson of the legendary R.L. Burnside and son of drummer Calvin Jackson, though is a Delta legend himself. Guitar and bass genius Trenton Ayers learned at the feet of his father, Earl “Little Joe” Ayers, the highly-revered Mississippi guitarist. Between plucks of gritty six-string and perfectly timed beats, the Project propels the soul within the mastered genre flowing through longstanding veins and Burnside penning tunes about his young life, his family and the truth as he knows it.

The first time

BIO adversity

BY THE STAFF

By Diandra Markgraf

T

he world is full of “firsts.” The first cool sips of a delicious beverage.

Discovering a genius author or a piece of music can equate to the hand-shaking moment the words “I love you” first slipped off your tongue. And there’s the first time, well, you know—but I digress.

Back in February, the significant other and I journeyed to the Valley of the Sun, as I do whenever possible to see this radical band called Murder by Death. If the name sounds out-there, it’s because as a five-piece they are irrevocably in the stratosphere of contemporary tunage.

A variable melting pot of post-hardcore (their older stuff ), rhythm and blues, soul, darkwave and a slug of good old-fashioned, whiskey-drinking rock ‘n’ roll, Murder by Death will tear your heart from your chest and devour it whole. It’s because they care.

It’s because they love you, dear music lover.

And as if to solidify this pact, one member of this band gave me the greatest gift I could’ve hoped to receive. As I sat with friends sipping whiskey, sick as a dog trying to subdue whatever Flagstaff Plague was passed along prior to this particular excursion, bassist Matt Armstrong took note of my person. Without warning he sparked another American Spirit and launched into a string of jokes. For 30 minutes before he was due on stage to a near-capacity Crescent Ballroom, he cracked the most offensive, ghoulish and entirely entertaining jokes while I rasped like an old man on a bender. When from outside he heard the rest of his band strike a couple chords, he thanked us for not vomiting and hurried inside. We trailed behind.

It wasn’t my first time trying to chat with a musician I devote a tiny piece of my heart to—or even him. And he knew that. To travel the country or even the

world playing countless shows, and to still remember the face of a fan who’s followed the band from Vegas to Tucson and anywhere in between—that is an irreplaceable feeling, to be that fan.

But last Wednesday, I didn’t have to drag myself to Phoenix, sick or otherwise.

No highway driving and impossible parking maneuvers for this lady. We rode bikes to see another of my top-three bands. Modest Mouse came to me. Well, me and about 999 other people.

While waiting in line at the Orpheum’s expertly-tended small lounge bar, the lights dimmed as tensions mounted in the packed house. A surge of six-stringed glory snapped at my eardrums and I whirled around to see, directly in my line of vision even at such short stature, Isaac Brock.

Because I’m a giant crybaby, and just that way, I burst into heaving sobs. I took a hefty swig of PBR, which in that moment tasted like the craftiest craft beer instead of metallic piss. I positioned myself on the stairs next to the soundboard with nothing but a roomful of recycled air and a clear line of sight between my teary eyes and the band executing wonky tunes around which I’d formed an incredible amount of firsts.

We stood in that spot for a couple minutes before battling as close to stage right as possible (sorry, everybody). For timing reasons, sell-out situations or otherwise, I’d never been able to see Modest Mouse, that is until Wednesday in Flagstaff. To hear “Dark Center of the Universe” live—not on wax, not on some dumb iPod, but in the freaking flesh—was quite possibly the single most surreal experience of my life. I headbanged, eyes closed, to some sort of sonic dream. When I finally opened my eyes, for the first time I realized Brock looks a lot older from up close, and you know, so do I.

F

or a long time we’ve wanted to find a way to represent and connect with the outdoor community here in Flagstaff. The question always

has been: How? Whether it be rafting, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, backpacking, fishing, hang gliding or even just a lazy day at the creek, adventure sports and an appreciation for the great outdoors are a key driver of why so many of us love and live in northern Arizona.

And with these glorious moments spent in Mother Nature’s untamed heart come stories. Some are easy where everything went as planned—others not so much. In the catalogue of oral history exist epic tales, jawdropping occurrences of harrowing rescue, and those that are just downright hilarious.

Let’s call them “misadventures.” With all of the people who live here and either regularly work, play or are in some way connected to the outdoors, we thought, why not try and tap into some of these stories? We’re calling it “BioAdversity.”

So, here’s the plan: we want to hear your outdoor misadventures. We’ll keep a similar format to the former “News Quirks,” running a handful of submissions per week that you, the reader, send our way whenever you have them, (and we know you have them). Whether “that one time” was last week or buried deep

in the past, we love adventure.

Please keep them to a couple paragraphs crafted at the computer or even eked out on your phone’s notes app. All great stories have titles, and of course we need your first and last name. Submit these incredible tales of outdoor misadventure to Andrew Wisniewski at andyw@flaglive.com. The story doesn’t have to have taken place around northern Arizona—it can be anywhere. But please do tell us where it did happen. And as for any other parties involved, we ask that you please mask their names for anonymity’s sake.

We’ll run a new batch every week.

And please note that published submissions remain the rights of the writer, and no compensation will be offered for publication. We look forward to hearing your stories, and sharing with readers beginning in September!

This brings me to the acting. Jesse Eisenberg is an interesting choice: He is surprisingly effective as a dead-end stoner, and his tiny stature helps emphasize everyone’s surprise when he suddenly transforms into a lethal weapon.

But even he seems to be indecisive about where he’s going with the part. And Kristen Stewart … I have to be honest, I really have no idea whether

or not she’s a good actress. My attitude toward her has been so colored by that horrible Twilight series that I can neither give her a break, nor even figure out if she deserves one.

I find most Cronenberg films either barely hang on the rails in brilliant fashion (A History of Violence, 2005; Dead Ringers, 1988) or go totally off the rails in spectacular ways (Existenz, 1999, comes to mind). Maps to the Stars is one of the few that’s not quite in either camp, but enough of both to entertain.

Masters of Light

NAU’s CAL Film Series shines a light on cinematographers

By Erin Shelley

I

t’s that time of year. Students return to Northern Arizona University and so does NAU’s College of Arts and Letters Film Series. Showing audiences a mix of classic films from the silent era to more recent hits, each semester the series focuses on a specific theme. This fall, we can appreciate how the movies look on screen, for the theme is Cinematographers: Masters of Light.

The cinematographers, sometimes referred to as Directors of Photography, are in charge of the cameras and the lighting used to capture the images that make a movie. Working with their directors, the cinematographers can make a film look romantically lush or dramatically gritty.

Some of the great cinematographers show up in this series. The great Gordon Willis, who was the cinematographer for the Godfather films and multiple Woody Allen movies, is represented

by Allen’s Manhattan (1979), a beautiful black and white movie that lovingly shows us the city of Manhattan and its inhabitants. Ingmar Bergman’s cinematographer, Gunnar Fischer, is highlighted with Bergman’s classic film, The Seventh Seal (1957). Some of Hollywood’s greatest films had Gregg Toland in charge of the photography.

His entry in the fall series is The Grapes of Wrath (1940), starring Henry Fonda.

The series brings us great films, such as F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise: A Story of Two Humans (1927).

Lead by Charles Rosher and Karl Struss, this 1927

film won the first Academy Award for cinematography. A more modern film is 2011’s Hugo, a gorgeous and inventive film for audiences of all ages. Hugo, directed by Martin Scorsese, won the Academy Award for Best Achievement in Cinematography for Robert Richardson. Other classics include 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Alien (1979) and Fight Club (1999).

The full schedule of films this fall are Hugo (Sept. 1); Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (Sept.

8); The Grapes of Wrath (Sept. 15); Night of the Hunter, 1955(Sept. 22); The Seventh Seal (Sept.

29); Petulia, 1968 (Oct. 6); 2001: A Space Odyssey (Oct. 13); Heaven Can Wait, 1978 (Oct. 20); Alien (Oct. 27); Days of Heaven, 1978 (Nov. 3); Manhattan (Nov. 10); Blade Runner, 1982 (Nov. 17); The Fabulous Baker Boys, 1989 (Nov. 24); American Beauty, 1999 (Dec. 1); Fight Club (Dec. 8). To find out more about each film, visit www.nau.edu/cal/ events/cal-film-series.

Free to the public, you can view the films each Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. at Cline Library Assembly Hall on the NAU campus. The films are also introduced by various film aficionados in town, and Flag Live is well-represented with some of our writers, including Dan Stoffel (introducing Alien) and myself, introducing The Fabulous Baker Brothers (this film has Jeff Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer at their sexiest). Join us this fall to see the artistry in making movies and enjoy great films.

BREW

BY MIKE WILLIAMS

Masters of Brewtality Mother Road’s Twin Arrows: A beer so nice, we’re trying it twice

‌R

ecently, I had the pleasure of an afternoon sit-down with Mother Road lead brewer Adam Harrington. Over a couple pints of this delicious brew, it was amazing to see the detail that went into one of the most accessible beers to come out of Flagstaff’s craft brewery explosion, and it shows so much in the final product. He is as quintessentially northern Arizona as a person can get: wellkept beard, Northface pullover, and a sharp wit honed by 1,000 parties with good friends over good beer. ‌Twin Arrows is a cool, crisp, drinkable brown ale that would be perfect for your uninitiated friends that swear by Pabst. It will also probably leave them swearing off Pabst, so be warned. Mother Road’s patio is, hands down, one of the best spots in town to enjoy a cold one on a sunny day. Their selection of other beers reflects their master’s dedication to suds, and the brewer’s insistence on providing some of the wackiest events downtown ensures that this beer will be a hot seller. Have no fear, they’ve got plenty to go ‘round.

Mother Road Brewing Co. is located at 7 S. Mikes Pike. For more info, dial 774-9139 or visit them online at www.motherroadbeer. com.

The breakdown Brewery: Mother Road Brewing Co. Brewer: Adam Harrington Name: Twin Arrows English Brown Ale Hops: Fuggles with Magnum for bittering Yeast: English Ale Malt: Two-Row Pale Malt, Munich, Chocolate Malt, Crystal 40, Crystal 120 and Molasses ABV: 4.5% IBU: 25

From the brewer Mike Williams: What should we pair this with?

Adam Harrington: It’d go really well with steak. Anything sharp or cheesy is not going to go well with it, but a sweet cheese would. ... I like this beer as an all-around beer. It’s not super hoppy. It’s not super strong on alcohol.

It’s got a nice malt back. I’d stick to your simple foods.

12

flaglive.com | Aug. 27–Sept. 2, 2015

Inspired by?

This was our [former] head brewer Urs’s beer. He wanted to do a Southern English beer, kind of malty, little bit of a hop character to it, but nothing too bitter. It was just one of his creations.

Serving temp?

55 degrees, but you’re getting it here [at] about 45.

Getting personal … How’d you start brewing?

Homebrewing! I got a Mister Beer kit, made it in my kitchen, and it was the worst beer I’ve ever made. I would’ve dumped it down the drain, but one of my friends wanted it, so I gave it to him. I wound up meeting up with a buddy of mine who taught me how to brew with extract. From there, extract to all grain, then I started working here.

Pizza and beer is as natural a combination as the American flag and a bald eagle. What kind of pizza should we enjoy with this?

I’m just going to give you a solid yes.

Drink pizza, eat beer! (Laughs.)

Brewing soundtrack?

We were listening to Beats Antique quite a bit.

Complimentary outdoor activity?

Probably sitting around a campfire and hanging out with the buddies. On a warm night, though.

Indoors?

Dinner. Perhaps over a pizza.

Worst place to drink it?

Upside down. Over a vat of acid. It’d be terrible.

Best place to drink it?

Honestly, probably here (at the brewery).

Hanging out on the patio in the sun, enjoying good food. (Pizzicletta is now serving food on the patio.)

Ideal container?

Stainless steel insulated growler. Definitely stainless because they don’t let light in and, even though they don’t completely seal, it’ll keep for two or three days and they can go anywhere.

Your personal favorite thing about this beer?

It’s really easy to drink, but it has enough flavors in it to kind of slow you down. You want to enjoy it, but it’s not going to get you as drunk as fast as, say, an imperial or IPA. Tap/bottle/can? Ounces?

Right now, it’s only on tap, but we’re looking to do a special release of it for the tap room with bottles—kind of a throw-back. This was one of our core three beers that we started with, then we got rid of it and picked up Lost Highway.

Pinky up or down?

This one is probably a full-gripped hand on it, just so you don’t drop it.

Looking back, what beer killed macrobrew for you?

Arrogant Bastard.

A man of taste! What was the first craft beer you ever tried?

Moose Drool!

Finally, our Masters of Brewtality bonus question: Is there beer in Hell?

Sure, but it’d be warm and flat.

Masters of Brewtality is a new monthly feature that brings a Flagstaff-based craft brewery and one of their top beers to the table. Each month we’ll pick a new beer, sit down with one of the brewers, and pick their brain with a set of questions—both serious and funny—so we can learn more about some of our favorite local beers and the folks who brew it all up. On tap next month: Historic Brewing Co.

elp, Flagstaff is officially on the map, and for good reason: it’s an absolutely amazing place to live. As a city, Flag carries its own charge of cultural electricity. Far from a remote mountain town, our community at 7,000 feet features all manner of bustling events, soaring live music, welcoming venues and an energy and sense of goodness that can’t be beat. For students who are new to town, we want to share some ins and outs of Flagstaff—where to go, what to do, what to see. After the books are bought, the classrooms found and the dorm room is in order, the time will come to venture out. For returning students, the town is changing. We have new restaurants, new venues and new establishments. Flagstaff is crazyon-the-move these days. So, here’s a chance to stay in the loop.

We have compiled some of our favorite elements of Flagstaff in the following pages, but be sure to check out a new issue of Flag Live every single Thursday available for free at more than 250 Flagstaff and Sedona locations. Visit us on the web at www.flaglive.com. Enjoy!

THE GO-TO’S

FIVE LOCAL EVENTS TO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

When it comes to Flag, there are a number of big parties of the year, small events and places to see and be seen. Here are a few to consider dropping in on.

1. FIREFLY. Our first two choices are big summer events, but well worth sticking around for or

coming back for. June mean’s Firefly Gathering, and this transformative festival features a blend of music, art and more that has taken serious flight in the past several years. It’s Flagstaff’s great gig in the woods. www.fireflygathering.com

Moving along into its sixth year in 2015, Hullabaloo is the first weekend in June in Wheeler Park. This big party has it all, from top-notch bands such as headliner Lyrics Born this year, to vaudeville acts and, everyone’s favorite, giant puppets. A bike parade and sense of whimsy top it off. www.flaghullabaloo.com.

3. ART WALKS. The first Friday of every

month, even in the darkest hours of winter, turns downtown Flagstaff into a hopping place with the First Friday ArtWalk. It has become one of the most popular nights on the town. So be sure to step out and art it up. www.flagartscouncil.org.

4. FLAGSTAFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL. Outdoor films? Check. Environmental films? Check.

Politically conscious cinema. Check? The Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival has a great lineup of movies from around the country. Dates for this year’s festival—its 12th annual—are still up in the air, but keep a watchful eye on October and their website, www.flagstaffmountainfilms.org 5. THE FLAGSTAFF COMMUNITY MARKET. Each Sunday morning through October, growers and

gatherers turn the Flagstaff City Hall parking lot into a lively community market. It’s a great place to pick up some delish foods and fantastic wares, and see some familiar old faces along the way. www.flagstaffmarket.com

THE HAVE-TO’S

FIVE FLAGSTAFF INSTITUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO VISIT BY LAW

Here in Flag, certain truths hold. December is dread-nasty cold. Spring is biblically windy. The train makes everyone five minutes late for everything. The eastside of town can smell like dog food. Along with these truths are institutions, namely of a food variety, that head up our “have-to” list. So, here’s the homework.

4

1. CHILAQUILES AT MARTANNE’S BREAKFAST PALACE. When Sunday mornin’ comin’ down (or

pretty much any time of the week), MartAnne’s has your breakfast order: Chilaquiles Christmas Style (with a second helping of hash browns). Then, skip lunch and possibly dinner. Or, better yet, return for dinner and die happy. 112 E. Rte. 66.

8pm to 11pm (with $4 cover)

2. HOUSE COFFEE AT MACY’S EUROPEAN COFFEE HOUSE. Skip the coffee shop chains and

rot-gut gas station swill and treat yourself well to one of the best espresso roasts in northern Arizona. Or, possibly, the Northern Hemisphere. The earlier the better as the place gets packed, and quick. 14 N. Beaver

3. FLAG BREW PATIO TIME. Beer or no, Flagstaff Brewing Co. (please, just call it Flag Brew) is often the hub of the universe. Check out some bluegrass on the patio Sunday afternoon and bask in the glory. And you need to try the poutine. Oh, sweet poutine. 16 E. Rte. 66.

4. TOURIST HOME. Once the owners of Tinderbox Kitchen and the Annex renovated the dilapidated shell of Flag’s former boarding house and kept the name, the Tourist Home Urban Flag Live’s Ultimate Fall Student Guide 2015

Market rocketed into the hearts and bellies of locals and tourists alike. Try anything—literally anything—on the menu or in the deli case and it won’t disappoint. We’re still partial to those breakfast burritos the size of a teacup Chihuahua. 52 S. San Francisco.

5. CRAFT BREWERIES.

Fun fact: more craft breweries call Flagstaff home than Tucson, whose population is more than 10 times larger. Take a second and let that tell you just how much this town loves its crafty suds. With seven currently operating— Historic, Wanderlust, Mother Road, Dark Skies, Lumberyard, Beaver Street and Flag Brew—each offers a little something different, but the one thing you can always count on, is a tasty craft brew.

DO THE PATH

FIVE GREAT OUTDOOR RETREATS (OR ESCAPE ROUTES) Alright, you live in Flagstaff. It has 12,000-foot-plus mountains. It has a mile-deep canyon down the road. And it has 5,000 other trails, wilderness areas and natural features that beg to be explored.

Consider this a get-started and get-out-there list.

1. SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS. You can’t walk a hundred yards without getting a view of the San

Francisco Peaks. But it’s a little more driving to get up there. Take a cruise to the Inner Basin and camp and hike from Lockett Meadow. Try autumn for eye-popping aspen. www.fs.usda.gov/coconino

2. OAK CREEK CANYON. Between Flagstaff and Sedona is the promised land—a coursing, burbling creek through the center of a red-rock canyon. There is much joy to be had in hiking and swimming. Grasshopper Point and downstream swirl great swimming holes. The trails are all over. Note this year’s Slide Fire has created some limitations and has flood and mudslide dangers when storms threaten. www.redrockcountry.org.

3

Grand Canyon. Courtesy photo

3. GRAND CANYON. This is the big no-brainer on the list. Of course there’s the Grand Canyon. But take it in the cool temperatures and off-season to really dig in. Hit the lesser explored trails for some solitude. Or gas up the tank for the North Rim. The wonder is there for the basking. www.nps.gov/gcra.

4. URBAN TRAILS. Not enough gas money? Or no car? No problem. Flagstaff is home to more than 50 miles of urban trails. Running through and out of campus is the Sinclair Wash Trail, an urban woodland favorite. And few open spaces are as glorious as Buffalo Park and its trails. www.flagstaffaz.gov or on Facebook.

5. MOUNTAIN BIKE GLORY. To not talk about mountain biking here would be a cardinal sin, as

Flagstaff is one of the founding towns of the mountain bike movement. And for good reason: tons and tons of great mountain riding trails. The Mountain Elden-Dry Lake Hills Trail System is major. Join the tribe at www.flagstaffbiking.org

NOT-TO-BE-MISSED SHOWS

FOUR SHOWS WHERE YOU’RE GONNA WANNA SAY, ‘I WAS THERE’ 1. JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE (Sept. 22). Justin Townes Earle, though separated at a young age, may

have inherited a particularly note-driven gene from his legendary father, Steve Earle. But at 32, this singer-songwriter has honed unique chops that have propelled him onward as a self-made man.

His decidedly alternative look, complete with full arm tattoos, speaks to his individualist style and changeling musicianship fluctuating between folk, country, rockabilly and blues. Earle has weathered life’s ups and downs. He’s channeled the resulting gusto into ground-breaking tunes collected under Chicago’s notable Bloodshot Records, and continues with Vagrant Records. Most recently, Earle garnered acclaim with 2014’s album “Single Mothers,” which topped at number three on the U.S. Folk charts. “Absent Fathers,” his sixth studio release, followed earlier this year.

Recently married, and having ditched his proclivity for potent libations, Earle is able to write from a place of maturity, while still clenching the raw honesty fans scattered across the globe have valued from the Nashville-based singer during all points in his career. He returns after playing to a packed house at the Museum Club back in 2013, and oddly, not long after his father played at the Pepsi Amphitheater earlier this summer. www.orpheumflagstaff.com. continued on page 4 uuu

uuu continued from page 4 2. RATATAT (Oct. 1). Without even knowing it, there’s a solid chance that at some point you’ve subconsciously heard a tune by this Brooklyn-based rocktronica duo. Be it the uber popular “Loud Pipes,” “Wildcat” or the even more recent “Cream on Chrome,” you probably thought to yourself, Who is this? Damn, I need to add this to my music collection, STAT! And, in fact, they have plenty of great tunes to go around.

Consisting of lead guitarist Mike Stroud and producer Evan Mast, Ratatat first burst onto the scene way back in 2004 with their self-titled debut, which saw the two buddies twisting up piercing sheets of guitar and synthesizer yoked with bass-heavy metronimics. In the years that followed they hit listeners with three more albums, 2006’s Classics, LP3 in 2008, and LP4 two years later, each craftily navigating the vast landscapes of hip-hop and old-fashioned rock.

Up to that point they were on the once-standard track of releasing an album every two years.

But in the years to follow the duo hit a bit of a rough patch which led to a five year hiatus. Without pause, fans stayed hungry, and to reward their patience, Ratatat dropped their fifth album—bucking convention, and not named LP5—in July, Magnifique, a promised return to their core guitar-driven sound. With a new record comes a new tour, and a date announced just this last week at the Orpheum Theater. www.orpheumflagstaff.com.

(Oct. 2). In 2015 Flagstaff has seen two groups of a similar ilk roll through town to much fanfare: Rising Appalachia and Michael Franti & Spearhead. So, why not make it a perfect trifecta with Nahko and Medicine for the People?

Boasting a prescription for the soul, this five-piece collective lead by music prophet Nahko Bear, offers up truth through music via a powerful blend of folk, urban and world music.

While life and society’s many pitfalls often drag people down, Nahko and Medicine for the People pick listeners back up from the depths Ratatat. Courtesy Photo by focusing on music as a multi-generational and multi-cultural source of redemption and healing.

Meditation, loving and respecting one’s self and others, forming a connection to the land, finding peace and having a belief in the “good things comin’” are a few of the messages interwoven within the group’s greater social movement.

Formed in 2008, it wasn’t until 2013 that Nahko and crew released their first album, Dark As Night, and since then fans have piled up and the journey has pointed nowhere other than up toward the sky above.

Their second full-length, On the Verge, was released earlier this year, and upon more and more listens, we can’t think of a better show suited for the good people of Flagstaff this fall. www.orpheumflagstaff.com.

4. PIMPS OF JOYTIME (Nov. 5). These cats were supposed to play it cool in Flag not so long ago,

but due to scheduling conflicts, they didn’t quite bring the good noise they’re so well known for.

Fortunately, as fate would have it, they’re circling back around for another shot.

In short, Pimps of Joytime throw down, hard. Seriously, energy on high is the name of the game for this five-piece outfit. Look no further than “Janxta Funk!” the group’s super groovy first track off their 2011 album of the same name. Or, for a change of pace, dial up the mambo-laden track “Bonita” off 2008’s High Steppin. However you chalk it up, really, any of their songs deliver funky grooves that are sure to get dancing feet moving and induce lots and lots of sweat.

Rooted in soul, funk and afrobeat tunes from New Orleans and the DJ culture in Brooklyn, Pimps of Joytime formed at the hands of multi-instrumentalist and producer Brian J in 2005, and since have stormed stages around the country and brought their audacious sound to savvy audiences thirsty for a good time.

Now, three albums in with the release of their latest offering in April, Jukestone Paradise, the ride only keeps moving forward in great fashion. www.greenroomflagstaff.com.

RECURRING NIGHTLIFE

SIX REOCCURRING EVENTS THAT’LL MAKE YOU WANT TO PAINT THE TOWN, AGAIN AND AGAIN

Over the years Flag has attracted a rather lengthy and impressive list of live music acts, artists and so on. But, sometimes it’s the vibrant regular local gatherings that leave a lasting impression. Here are few worth trying on for size.

1. ELECTRIC KINGDOM. Once the First Friday ArtWalk winds down, EK at the Green Room ramps

up. The late-night backbone for the monthly soiree is everything EDM fans, dancers and outgoing partiers need to get their fix as local DJs Jahmontee, Acidisco, Safi’s Lab and more man the controls all night long.

Flag Live’s Ultimate Fall Student Guide 2015

2. PAYBACK. Classy, swanky and by all stretches

Flag’s most uninhibited dance party, this monthly shindig happens every second Saturday at Charly’s Pub and Grill. With host Dapper Dre and local DJs Marty Marr and Emmett White spinning oldies but goodies on 45-inch vinyl, this fun and unique event offers those looking for a reason to look sharp, bust a move, and enjoy an evening of classic funk, soul and more a welcome home.

3. PICKIN’ IN THE PINES MUSIC FESTIVAL.

If bluegrass and acoustic music is your bag, this annual award-winning festival is the place to be. As it strolls into year 10, enjoy the shady pines, crisp fall air and all of the national, regional and locally based pickin’ and rollin’ your ears can handle—not to mention the excellence to be found in the campsite jam sessions. This year welcomes Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, the Infamous Stringdusters, Steep Canyon Rangers, Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands and more. Sept. 18–20 at the Pepsi Amphitheater. www.pickininthepines.org.

5. OPEN MIC NIGHTS. They’re open, they happen a lot, and they can be found all around town. Hop on stage and style any one of the regular open mics every week (here are just a few).

like feeding a gremlin after midnight (without the adverse side effects,) it only gets bigger every time. At the crossroads where dance music meets artistic expression, the coffee shop by morning literally transforms, and the crowd parties the night away. DJs Emmett White and Jeremiah Green consistently offer up some of the best music mash-ups on any night in town, and the theme changes with every go ‘round. It’s hot, sweaty, and don’t be surprised if the body paint gets busted out. The next one is on Sept. 26. Check the InnerSpace Facebook page for updated info.

THE MUSIC

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF FLAG’S SUPER-RICH SONIC LANDSCAPE

Flagstaff boasts a monstrous amount of music for a town its size nearly every night of the week.

Things get especially cookin’ on the weekends with local and regional bands as well as nationally touring artists, so do yourself a favor and go see some live tunes. Check these spots out online or just see the Pulse calendar section every week in Flag Live.

Time to tune in The AMFM Fest makes its move to Flagstaff

‌T

his weekend marks Flagstaff’s inaugural participation in the AMFM Fest: a four-day blend of arts and community. ‌Founded by Santa Fe, New Mexico-based filmmaker Rich Henrich, the AMFM Fest—short for Arts, Music, Film, and More—started three years ago in Palm Springs, Calif., to provide a multi-genre platform for artists to exhibit their work and cross-pollinate.

In a recent Flag Live phone interview, Henrich explained how Flagstaff beat out bigger, more obvious choices like Denver and Austin when he decided to expand the festival: “It’s an authentic community, where people can support each other and grow.” That trait echoed perfectly with the festival’s mission. Henrich then found support from the Orpheum, Green Room, Flagstaff Brewing Co., Firecreek Coffee Co., Southside Tavern, NAU’s Cline Library, Speakeasy and Primo’s to host the festival, Thursday through Sunday.

Kicking off the event, the Speakeasy will host a reception from 4–7 p.m. of the work Santa Fe-based artist Grant Kosh, who creates life-like airbrush paintings of icons such as Bill Murray, Alfred Hitchcock and ?uestlove. In honor of Kosh, Speakeasy has created specialty cocktails just for the event, including, of course, the “Bill Murray.”

The headliner of the night is the 20th anniversary screening of Dead Man, director Jim Jarmusch’s cult classic, at the Orpheum. Backed

by Flagstaff’s environs and a searing soundtrack

by Neil Young, Dead Man follows Johnny Depp as William Blake, a meek accountant—not the poet—who kills a man in self-defense after being caught in bed with his woman. This sets Blake on an escape from the bounty hunters hired to bring him to justice. Along the way, he meets a Native American named Nobody, whose love for the famous poet William Blake convinces him to help the accountant navigate the Wild West. Gary Farmer, the actor who gave the poignant, funny portrayal of Nobody, will be present for the screening. Follow Farmer to Flagstaff Brewing Co. afterward to see him and his blues band, the Troublemakers, perform at 10 p.m.

On Friday, two more artists will have their work featured at local venues. Santa Fe-based metalwork artist Raymond Schwarz will have his 14

work on display at the Southside Tavern, 117 S. San Francisco Street. Starting at 4 p.m., the reception will also include a trailer of an upcoming film by Schwarz. At 5 p.m., head on over to the Green Room to see the works of Flagstaff artist and performer Kayley Monster.

The night continues at Heritage Square at 8 p.m. with the documentary Ready Or Not (2008), about Saudi-born singer Rotana Tarabzouni’s struggle to find her voice in a country that forbids women to be singers. In a phone interview, Rotana described her home country’s attitude. “I could never sing in a public space,” she remembers. “They see it as a method of seduction for a woman to be singing in public.”

So when she decided to study communications management at USC, using a sponsorship through her then-employer Saudi Aramco, she took advantage of being in the States to learn to sing. “I started pursuing music right away

as hard, if not harder, than my own master’s degree. I then went home to quit my job because I knew that music was what I was going to do.”

When asked about the reception her career change garnered back home, she explains, “I’ve been ostracized from a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t want to associate with me anymore because they think I’m a slut or crazy.” If Rotana returns home, there’s even a chance she’d be arrested.

But instead of ignoring that part of her past, she lets it inspire her. “I see no point in doing all of this if I can’t contribute to social change in Saudi Arabia.”

Rotana will perform in person at 9 p.m. at the Green Room as the opening act to Mississippi blues drummer Cedric Burnside. (See Hot Picks on page 7 for more info on Burnside.)

For film enthusiasts, there are more than 20 films to choose from, ranging from local shorts to larger, but still independent, features.

While subject matter moves from Flagstaff’s mountain biking culture (Changing Gears, 2011) to cutthroat cheerleading competitions (American Cheerleader, 2014), Henrich discovered each film that he personally selected for the festival either “had something to say or make us laugh or challenged the status quo.”

Henrich purposely didn’t categorize the film’s genres in order to avoid marginalizing or labeling subjects.

But just what is this “More” part of AMFM? Is it like the section of Bed Bath & Beyond where they sell bins full of hand sanitizer and Jelly Bellys? Even better! Henrich is offering free workshops for artists at any career point to engage more actively with the festival.

Teaming up with NAU professor and filmmaker Bob Reynolds, Henrich will lead a screenwriting workshop for writers of any level. Reynolds and Henrich will discuss proper formatting of scripts, common script pitfalls and parts of

Beat

Bill Murray by Grant Kosh.

Blake Snyder’s book, Save the Cat. Reynolds’ film, JFK’s Last Interview, will be screened as part of the AZ Shorts series on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Cline Library. The short centers around a fictitious interview between President Kennedy and a middle school student. Originally a writer, Reynolds moved to filmmaking when he realized that film was “the novel of the 21st century.”

For those artists looking to become more self-sustaining, Phil Hudson, owner of Rook SEO, will offer a workshop on SEO

(search-engine optimization). Says Hudson, “The biggest problem I see for most artists looking to market their work is a lack of understanding of how and where to put their work. They throw their work online and hope someone bites, a lot like throwing spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks.” To help artists succeed financially, Hudson plans to teach participants about the “free tools that show us exactly how many people are looking for exactly what you offer.”

Henrich’s interest in art as a tool for civic discourse is apparent in the festival’s diverse programming. The founder of the production company Film 4 Change was previously involved with politics until he saw how art, specifically film, could get both sides of an issue engaged with each other in a way traditional politics couldn’t. Since then, through his work with the Albuquerque Film Festival, the CineVision Film Festival, and the AMFM Fest, Henrich has sought to provide more exhibition space for artists to share their work and engage in public discourse. “I’d love for cities to look towards artists as creative problem-solvers. They are a tremendous resource to our communities [and contributors] to the conversation of civic responsibility.”

For the next four days, that conversation should be a spirited, engaging one.

AMFM Fest Flagstaff begins at 4 p.m. on Thu, Aug. 27 and runs through Sun, Aug. 30.

All-access passes are available for $19.95 both online at www.amfmfest.com/flagstaff or at the Green Room, 15 North Agassiz. For more info, call 226-8669 or visit the AMFM Fest website.

How much better?

Flagstaff’s Better Bucks food vouchers for the homeless have shown mixed results.

Blame game

By Jim Hightower

Coca-Cola to obese people: Hey, exercise more!

G

ood news about obesity: A new scientific organization is coming to grips with this bulging national problem.

Called the Global Energy Balance Network, it comes at obesity from a unique perspective, namely that the key to controlling one’s weight is not cutting back on calorie consumption, but committing to a regular program of exercise. Great, huh? You can literally have your cake and eat it, too! Before you swallow GEBN’s approach, however, note that nearly all scientists on the obesity beat say the opposite—exercise is a minimal contributor to weight loss compared to putting fewer calories in the tank.

So what’s behind the contrarian new group? Coca-Cola. Yes, Global Energy Balance Network was created and is financed by the world’s leading purveyor of sugary sodas— and Coke is also the leading purveyor of empty-calorie “science,” trying to convince us that its bottled bombs of obesity have no bad effects on human health.

The corporate giant’s latest scientific fraud is prompted by corporate panic. Sales of full-calorie sodas have plummeted by 25 percent in the past two decades as public health campaigns have ratcheted up to warn

of cola’s dangers. Consequently, obesity rates (especially for young children) are down—and Coca-Cola now lists “obesity concerns” by the public as the No. 1 threat to its business. The choice between your health and the health of their corporate profits is an easy decision for Coke’s top executives. So they’re trying this trick play to shift the obesity blame from their calories … to your lack of exercise.

Next, they’ll be promoting the CocaCola “workout plan”: Do several repetitions of 12-ounce elbow bends each day with cans of Coca-Cola, and keep your heart strong by briskly striding from the couch to the fridge to grab each can. Remember, every repetition adds up.

Hanging by a thread

‌A

t the beginning of the month we launched the 18th call for entries for our monthly Flag Live writing contest, The Write Now, and the good words just keep on comin’! ‌The contest was once again blind-judged

by Flagstaff author Mary Sojourner, who also gave us this prompt for writers to follow: “S/he/I can’t hide my fear. I gave up on my disgust a few hours ago. I turn to the door, look back and …

Base the fear and disgust not on a person, but on a value or belief the character holds deeply. ” This month our winning submission comes in from Murvel Ray Thornton. Of the

winning entry Sojourner writes: “I love the tightness of the hand-written submission, #2. I love the way the writer hones a few moments into their essentials. The details took me directly into what I believed to be the kitchen of a person hanging on by a thread.”

For newcomers to The Write Now, we’ll have our next prompt next week (the first issue of every month). Submissions should be received no later than 5 p.m. the following Friday (Sept. 11 for our next round). Keep the good words coming. And good luck!
