LETTER FROM HOME

The parallel universe You’ll get the call Once more my deeper life goes on with more strength, as if the banks through which it moves had widened out.

— Ranier Maria Rilke

Y

ou get the call. You have gotten the call. You will get the call.

Mine came from one of my brothers a few weeks ago. Flat voice, naked, no artificial sweetener: “You need to get here, Laura. She is in the intensive care unit, and she is not doing well.”

It’s about your mother.

It’s about your son, your sweetie.

It is Kelly someone sewn

By Laura Laura into your heart, someone Kelly whose death would unmoor you, someone whose illness has brought them to a precipice between here and there. And so you go. You answer the call that bends time and edits your life.

We all take turns with this, and now it is mine.

I am in the hospital elevator, up against the back wall and shredded from a red-eye flight. I am rearranging the furniture in my heart to make room for the possibility that my mother might die in the next few days. It smells vaguely like toilet bowl cleaner and burnt coffee. My eyes are red with deep shadows beneath; I look like an overweight crack addict.

I press four. A woman in blue scrubs and cornrows gets on and presses seven.

The elevator lurches upward and pings at four. The doors open. I stay planted, burst into tears, and the doors shut. The woman in scrubs looks at me, her face soft and searching. “I don’t know you, but I am gonna give you a hug.” She steps forward and wraps her arms around me. She smells like warm shampoo. I love her instantly.

“We are gonna ride back down to the fourth floor again together. OK?” She takes my hand, and I hold tight. I murmur a watery thanks and give myself over to her sturdy kindness. I am omnipresent, and I am nowhere. I am hyper alert, and I have perfected nothingness. I have been issued a travel visa into what my friend Caren calls the parallel universe.

The parallel universe is an ephemeral place marked by grief, confusion and sadness. It is also illuminated by insight 4 | flaglive.com | Feb. 18-24, 2016

and connection. In the parallel universe emotions smell like burning metal. We don’t brush our hair or sleep more than four hours a night. We eat meals from vending machines and stare at clouds for a long, long time. As we move from shock to our new normal, we have difficulty finding most things important. We don’t try to stop crying in front of anyone because we have come to know our tears as tribal markings.

Day three or four of the bedside vigil.

I leave the building for a walk to escape the beeps and kilowatts of keeping people alive in what my brother calls the intensive “scare” unit. Skies are low and drizzly with warm rain. A traffic cop with beefy pecs straining his short-sleeved shirt directs cars around a construction zone in the hospital parking lot. I stand on the curb, pulsating with gorgeous exhaustion. I am exalted by how vivid life feels. I also hate everyone.

“Ma’am?”

I snap to; the traffic cop stands inches from my face. I’m crying. He takes both of my hands in his hands. He isn’t a prophet or an angel. He doesn’t offer anything particularly wise. But he keeps holding my hands. And I let him. I feel love surge through me.

In the parallel universe our deflector shields are retracted, and we are gloriously addled with emotional jet lag. We know our sadness to be soupy and clarifying. All of our feelings show up in a chorus line, hell bent on their high kicks. Life feels startling and messy as we widen to accommodate both in their extremes. In the parallel universe strangers practice remarkable kindness that we’re usually too armored to accept—or ask for.

I am on my flight home. There is no death I’m weathering, but there is loss and frailty. The five-hour flight is full. As the doors shut, a flight attendant bends over

me. “We have an empty row of seats. Follow me.” I sleep for a few hours until the attendant nudges my shoulder and hands me a glass of wine. “It’s on me,” he says.

We hold eye contact, sharing the secret of secrets.

Are they always around me, these small and surprising kindnesses? Is this world always throbbing with tenderness that can crack my heart open? How can I take some of this way of seeing with me?

You get the call. You’ve gotten the call.

Go there. It’s fleeting: All of it.

LETTERS TO DUCEY

Brain surgery The effects of oranges on students in winter

A

fundamental element of the dissolution of support for Higher Education is the attack on the Liberal Arts of which Creative Writing, which I teach, is definitely a part. I do love to teach creative writing, but sometimes I wish I could teach lessons that have a more palpable outcome.

Teaching someone to ride a bike is awesome. You run. They pedal. You run. They pedal. You let go. They fall.

Rinse. Repeat until you let go and they ride on without you. I like to teach my kids how to read. How to cook.

I would like to teach brain Nicole surgery or mushroom idenWalker tification. It’s obvious how they turn out. Patient lives!

Good job. Mushroom tastes good and patient lives! Another good job.

Teaching writing is more nebulous. I tell the students as much concrete information as I can. I show them Brian Doyle’s essay “Leap.” Doyle describes two people jumping out of the window of the Twin Towers on 9/11. I read this sentence aloud as I walk the steps as if I’m on a floor in an office with windows looking onto Liberty Street: “Maybe they didn’t even reach for each other consciously, maybe it was instinctive, a reflex, as they both decided at the same time to take two running steps and jump out the shattered window, but they did reach for each other, and they held on tight, and leaped.”

I stop at what would be the edge of the windowsill. I pause and then keep reading. I feel like if I can make their bodies imitate what they read on the page, then

they can put on the page what they want their readers to imagine other bodies to do. It’s not the same as teaching brain surgery where I can put my hand over theirs and guide the knife, but I hope I give them something palpable—something they can hold onto with those visible footsteps and audible breath.

I was teaching Max to ski last Sunday. I screamed for him to slow down. He kept speeding up. I clicked my skis together, pointed my toes downhill and tried to catch up. I couldn’t. His head hit the ground first. I saw one ski fly off. Then the second. He was crying when I finally reached him.

“I am not putting my skis back on. I hate skiing. I hate it I hate it,” he said.

“Come on,” I said. “Let’s try it again. If you do this run one more time, you will hate it less.”

“I won’t. I won’t,” he repeated all the way up the chairlift and all the way back down the mountain.

The next day, 23 students stared at me as I pulled three oranges out of my bag.

It looked like I was going to give them each one. I wasn’t. I only had three. I was trying to cure my cold. Instead of filling them with vitamin C like a good doctor, I started talking about my forthcoming books, Micrograms and Egg, which was embarrassing, but then we started to look at the essay, “Swerve,” by Brenda Miller, we’d read for this week and it stopped being embarrassing because my students

It’s not the same as teaching brain surgery where I can put my hand over theirs and guide the knife, but I hope I give them something palpable— something they can hold onto with those visible footsteps and audible breath.

had smart things to say. Phoebe pointed out the images of lights and Hannah pointed out the images of darkness and Zia pointed out the tone. Allison noted the glass. Andrea read the piece aloud.

I pointed out the eggs. Since I couldn’t give them each an orange, I gave them each an assignment: Write two paragraphs. The first should be a close-up scene—cinematic, like a movie. The second paragraph should read like a collage to make it feel like time has passed.

Choose an image register like building materials. Like oranges or snowglobes or lemon fresh scent. Make them as palpable as surgery. If you note that one of your images comes off in the first paragraph, take that image off in the second like mountains take skis off six year olds.

Weave a thread from the first part of the essay through the second part. I know you will hate it at first, but when I notice you on the lift again, crying but writing about bricks and stones and citrus, you will hate it less and less and, although I am not that kind of doctor, you have learned a practical lesson about the effects of oranges on students in winter.

Intrigue, murder, drugs, gangs and an attempted abduction—these are only a few of the themes to be explored during C’est une Crime!—otherwise known as It’s a Crime—at this year’s edition of the Tournées French Film Festival. Screening six films over Fridays and Saturdays until March 4, Tournées is back again to lend insight into one of the most robust facets of francophone culture.

The vibrant cross-section includes drama, comedies and even an animated film, The King and the Mockingbird, that had, until its release in 1980, been decades in the making. The series kicks off with Bande de filles (2014) or Girlhood, and explores one young woman’s quest to gain confidence in a gang in the projects of Paris. All will be introduced by film experts from the French faculty at Northern Arizona University, and will offer audiences the opportunity to spark conversations amongst themselves and dig deeper into the ever-evolving world of French cinema. Liberal Arts Room 120 on NAU’s north campus. All films start at 7 p.m. except P’tit Quinquin, which starts at 6 p.m. on March 3. Free. www.nau.edu/cal/events/ tournees-film-festival.

With his towering bowler and famous wry grin punctuated by a tuft of moustache, Charlie Chaplin’s “tramp” is one of the most recognizable figures of the silent film era.

Though a century removed, that same celluloid punch line keeps Dan Kamin in stitches.

The Pittsburg-based performer has penned two books—so far—divulging the spark of Chaplin’s secrets. And having trained Robert Downey Jr. for his Oscar-nominated role in the 1992 film Chaplin, and Johnny Depp as Sam in Benny & Joon (1993), Kamin is the world’s top brass when it comes to the antics of silver screen comedy. Kamin is not only a wealth of knowledge, but a veritable movie buff since he first laid eyes on the greats like Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Picking up where they left off, he’s developed his own cast of characters, which he’ll unpack here in Flagstaff alongside the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra with Charlie Chaplin at the Symphony: A Comedy Concerto.

of critical acclaim founded upon her voice—one she uses for positive social change. Though her playing style has traversed the winding road of the folk spectrum, DiFranco explores rock ‘n’ roll, punk rock and rap, often using the word “folk” to reference its origins in the heritage and struggles of the writer. These ideas shine through DiFranco’s work—now standing at 18 solo studio recordings, two with the legendary Utah Phillips—and continues on her latest, 2014’s Allergic to Water, which was released under her label Righteous Babe Records.

EDITOR’S HEAD

Big-top stage underneath the sun

‌T

his past weekend the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival once again brought those who share a passion for the outdoors inside to re-spark the flame before stepping back through the front door.

Among the festival’s many excellent films was Afterglow. A stunningly shot, 11-minute skiing short, it creatively examines light fading to dark, and how even in the darkest of night, light can take the most beautiful shape. In the film’s opening scenes, the narrator says, “An infinite moment, a single second of Andrew awe that can radiate across Wisniewski your entire life. A memory, collected by your eyes. A quick snap, taken on an eternal, intangible negative. Light, it shapes our existence.

It’s the familiar warmth on our skin, and the architect of our most transcendent breaths.” For the remainder of the weekend, as winter temporarily took a backseat to warmer temps, those words radiated through my mind.

In the days prior I made a quick jaunt down to Sedona to bag a new (for me) climbing route and relax by the creek’s edge where kayakers took full advantage of the summer-like weather and high water levels. It’s truly something to think how lucky we are to be able to travel a quick 45 minutes south in the dead of winter to recharge. For so many, the weekend pilgrimage to Red Rock country and the moments in between act as a quick snapshot of shifting attitudes soon to come.

In the world of photography, light means everything. Understanding light and having the ability to capture it is what separates good or great photographers from someone simply holding a camera. But as my roommate—one of those photogs— says, it’s so much more. As the seasons change, light looks different, and with that change in light comes a psychological effect that triggers good memories and the events that often parallel them.

Beyond light, the current weeks have ushered in somewhat of a new conceptual life view, a paradigm shift.

Sometimes it’s as simple as making a new connection. Recently, I had the for8 | flaglive.com | Feb. 18-24, 2016

tune to sit down with the man who started this humble publication. After a few beers and a couple hours of good conversation, my head was spinning with the knowledge of how Flag Live came up and how we got to the new look you see before you today. My hope is that you, the reader, still feel like we’re delivering the goods and representing Flagstaff in the best of ways.

For others, maybe that shift comes from breaking out of a long-lasting funk. Making peace with old demons. Rediscovering one’s health. Feeling strong and pushing new climbing grades or hopping back on a bike.

Maybe it’s pulling the trigger to go see an old friend or get out into the wild on that backpacking trip that has been in the mind’s eye forever. Maybe it’s coming into a few extra bucks, discovering that life-changing band or artist, or seeing a friend get back on their feet and move into a new place. Maybe it’s finding new purpose in life. Maybe it’s all of them, or just a few, or one.

Perhaps it’s finally meeting the person whom you’ve been catching eyes with from across the room for who knows how long.

Before you know it, there you are, standing face-to-face staring into a set of big, beautiful green eyes—and just like that, time, which seemingly spun on forever, stops.

And when it picks back up, like budding trees, perhaps that moment will make way for bigger adventures.

Be it fate or good timing, there’s really no knowing why things happen, when, and why sometimes they pile themselves on all at once. Perhaps it’s better we don’t and rest easy knowing they did? That lady bug surely didn’t have to land on my forearm the other day at the creek and hang out for a few minutes before taking flight to parts unknown. But it did, as if it were some sort of welcome sign saying, while still a little ways out, spring nears, and good days are on the horizon. Where the sun will set, cycle back around, and rise once again— bringing new light.

Editor’s note: As I mentioned last week, and you’ve likely already noticed, we’ve switched to a new design. We’ll be ironing out the wrinkles in the coming issues, so we apologize ahead of time for any inconsistencies.

If this film gets even close to the kind of box office numbers it deserves we’re bound to see Deadpool return in a sequel or two over the coming years and we’re off to a good start. Deadpool clocked in with a great opening weekend, becoming the most lucrative opening weekend of any R-rated movie in history.

Insert a few boob jokes, add some fat-shaming to an innocent child, and Bob’s your uncle, you have the plot. It’s not that it’s bizarre; it’s that it’s wholly unin-

But when Justin Bieber is one of the more sympathetic, funny characters in your movie, well, that’s about as criminal as wearing Members Only jackets.

But, per his usual, Billy Zane has to come along and ruin the movie by delivering an invitation for Derek and Hansel to reignite their modeling careers for a fashion show in Rome.

Sedona indie-gogo Some rare films on tap for annual fest The Screen Staff

‌T

he 22nd annual Sedona International Film Festival kicks off Saturday and runs through Sun, Feb. 28. Featuring independent films, celebrity appearances, concerts and special events, it’s kind of a big deal. This year’s Festival includes an American Graffiti (1973) reunion; two performances by 2016 Grammy Award-winning band Chicago as well as the premiere screening of the documentary Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago; and events with critic Jeffrey Lyons and actor Elliott Gould.

All four Flag Live critics had a chance to preview a selection of this year’s films.

Here are our mini-reviews.

Evan’s Crime

Directed by Sandy Tung Grade: B Reviewed by Dan Stoffel

Evan White (Douglas Smith) is a pretty typical 20-year old: he’d rather sleep in or spend time with his girlfriend Melissa (Annika Noelle) than go to class; he clashes with his father (Jason Kirkpatrick) over his priorities; and he really thinks his band, currently playing bars for a small cut of the door, might be able to make it big. But things turn atypical when he’s arrested for possession and intent to sell a hefty amount of drugs. District attorney Frank Coleman (David Arquette) is immune to Evan’s protestations of innocence; Coleman has political ambitions, and every big sentence is a notch on his dogmatic belt.

Interspersed with scenes from throughout the story’s chronology, Evan’s Crime is at its most compelling when we consider, “Wow, it’s scary how easily this could happen to me.” It’s frighteningly simple for one misguided zealot to ruin other people’s lives. The low-budget feel, with good use of natural lighting and practical locations, adds to the film’s relatability. But Evan’s Crime suffers from a slow pace. While there is some tension set up by the time-jumped scenes, there isn’t quite enough going on before the payoff.

Smith is a very good young actor, though his character’s sullenness makes it more difficult to root for him. And Arquette, though a bold choice as the smarmy heavy, is perhaps too grounded in comedy to pull this off.

Memoria

Directed by Vladimir de Fontenay &

Nina Ljeti

Grade: B Reviewed by Sam Mossman

Memoria tells the tale of Ivan, a teenager adrift without direction in a world that barely even seems to notice him. He struggles with his home life, his school, and his friends. Nothing seems to be going well and Ivan has few options to get himself out of the rut he finds himself in.

Perhaps the best part of Memoria is also the part that makes it the least suited to my taste in film. When I take in a film I am looking for a few hours of escapism. Memoria is quite the opposite. The subject matter of the film is all too real and likely for many of us, somewhat close to home.

Despite my personal motivations on heading to the cinema, it’s clear that this film is well executed. The cast sells the apathetic teen situation well, not with tense dialog or tons of exposition, but rather with a kind of plodding melancholy that compliments the film’s subject matter perfectly.

Like much of the independent film fare, Memoria does not hit a high note or climax and offer a neat resolution. Instead the film relies on conveying a series of emotions as it moves from one scene to the next. Memoria may not give you the kind of closure that you are looking for, but it paints a vivid (albeit bleak) image of one young man’s emotional struggle.

Burning Bodhi

Directed by Matthew McDuffie Grade: B Reviewed by Adrienne Bischoff

After learning the shocking news of his high school friend’s unexpected death, Dylan decides to go home to New Mexico to pay his respects and lay some demons to rest. As Dylan, Landon Liboiran gives Robert Pattinson a run for his money: with sexy-messy hair, sexy-ratty T-shirts, and the sexiest of blue eyes, Dylan is worth paying attention to, even if his problems are small compared to his friends’.

Dylan’s ex, Katy, struggles with drug addiction, self-hatred, and retaining custody of her toddler son. Dylan’s friend Ember, played by Cody Horn of Magic Mike fame, is secretly in love with Katy and also is a

rampant drug user. By his clear avoidance of drugs and allusions to his life in Chicago, Dylan seems to have escaped the path toward self-destruction. But he is haunted by long-standing resentments such as his father adopting a young son, effectively replacing Dylan, or his mother, played by Virginia Madsen, abandoning both Dylan and his father. And Bodhi, the deceased, slept with Katy while she was dating Dylan. Despite all of this, there’s quite a bit of love left between friends and slowly, but surely, they renew their friendships and let ghosts lie.

Each of the main actors exhibits a nuanced performance and the cinematography makes New Mexico uniquely beautiful.

While older characters might have had more years of heartache and complexity to draw from, the relatively young characters should appeal to younger audiences who might appreciate the hipster nod to The Big Chill (1983).

Editor’s note: Adrienne is an intern with the Sedona International Film Festival.

Silver Skies

Directed by Rosemary Rodriguez Grade: C Reviewed by Erin Shelley

Silver Skies brings together a terrific cast of actors. Not seen in film recently, you have George Hamilton, Valerie Perrine,

Barbara Bain, Alex Rocco, Mariette Hartley, Jack Betts and Jack McGee playing senior residents at an apartment complex. When the apartments are sold in order to make condos, everyone must make new plans for their retirement.

George Hamilton plays Phil, a victim of Alzheimer’s, who sometimes thinks he’s Dean Martin. Jack McGee is his best friend who takes care of him. Alex Rocco’s character has a crush on Ethel (Valerie Perrine).

Mariette Hartley is the mysterious newcomer to the complex who does not mingle with the others.

Silver Skies manages to stay away from the “quirky elders being cute” story that many films about the elderly rely on. The movie lies more in the drama category.

Unfortunately, the script throws too many weak subplots into the mix. So many overly dramatic moments fail that it unbalances the good scenes and characterizations.

It is good to see many of these actors again, and they do what they can. Hartley and McGee have the best of the film’s subplots, and the others get a few moments to shine. Ignore the plot and see Silver Skies for the actors.

Benefiting veterans with

GOOD FOOD & BEER

STAR

Story by Larry Hendricks Photos by Monica Saaty

A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:  7 FLAGSTAFF CHEFS  7 FLAGSTAFF BREWERIES  1 GOOD CAUSE

Mix in a generous helping of fun and laughter, let it simmer for a night and serve it up during Arizona Beer Week.

The annual Arizona Breweries & Veterans Dinner to benefit the Mark A. Moore Post No. 3, American Legion, kicks off Saturday.

The fundraising event, now in its second year, is organized by Flagstaff’s Jamie Thousand, owner of Satchmo’s BBQ & Cajun, and Eva Rupert, co-owner of the State Bar.



Feb.18-24, 18–24,2016 2016| |flaglive.com flaglive.com | 15 Feb. 15

“The idea came from food and beer, really,” Thousand says. “I had an idea a while back that I thought it would be really cool to have a beer dinner with all the breweries, and I looked over at Eva and said, ‘Hey, what do you think about this?’”

Rupert, whose business has the mission of being the hub for Arizona’s breweries and wineries, thought the idea was a sound one.

The next item on the check list was to identify a local organization the event could benefit. The American Legion came to mind.

“The Legion is so essential for our veteran community here,” Rupert says. “And it’s really, in a lot of ways, that veterans in America that have done so much for us. We wouldn’t be the country we are today without having such an incredible dedication to service.”

Thousand adds, “We’re serving those who served, and saying, ‘Thank you. Let us provide for you for a night.”

With the slogan “Freedom. Bravery. Beer.” the Dinner will also help bring an awareness to veterans’ issues, Rupert says.

“I would bet that half if not more of the guests who will be attending have never stepped foot in this place and have driven by it 10,000 times,” she adds.

The ABV: Beer Dinner is an attempt to bring several groups together under one roof in order to create a larger sense of community for the sake of veterans, Rupert says. The event, even if it is a drop in the bucket to the needs of the country’s veterans, makes a direct, positive impact on the community.

Thousand says, “The way that I feel I can give back the most is food. To do something that you love, and to give back to veterans, I really think that’s what we want to do. It’s really a winwin for everyone.”

Flag’s finest foodies

The event will feature seven courses prepared by seven different Flagstaff chefs. The chefs are: John Conley of Salsa Brava/Fat Olives; Scott Heinonan of Tinderbox/Annex; James Hoffman of SoSoBa; Frank Branham of Cottage Place; Joe and Dara Rogers of Shift; Caleb Schiff of Pizzicletta; and Jamie Thousand of Satchmo’s BBQ & Cajun.

A beer will be paired with each course from each of the seven breweries in Flagstaff. The breweries are: Beaver Street Brewery & Whistle

16 18-24,2016 2016 16 | flaglive.com flaglive.com || Feb. Feb. 18–24,

Stop Café; Dark Sky Brewing Co.; Flagstaff Brewing Co.; Historic Brewing Co.; Lumberyard Brewing Co.; Mother Road Brewing Co.; and Wanderlust Brewing Co. Post Commander Michael J. Nigg says, “It’s really an honor to have this dinner here.”

Post member “Big Sean” Owens says that the funds raised helps the Legion support veteran initiatives, like transportation services, homeless outreach, as well as refurbishing costs for the Legion facility.

Nigg says that the event last year was jam packed, with every one of the 150 seats in the Legion Hall filled. Owens adds that people had to be turned away at the door.

Thousand says the first year featured just one restaurant—namely Satchmo’s—and six breweries. He’s happy to say that when he approached other restaurant owners, they were excited to jump on board.

The event will be held in the Legion Hall, and the participating chefs will be bringing in equipment and supplies they’ll need to pull off the culinary experience. More than 30 volunteers from the Northern Arizona University Hotel and Restaurant Management program will also be on hand serving food and helping to set up and break down for the event. Still, the seating

will be limited to 150 people again this year, Thousand says.

“We, across the board, agreed that bigger wasn’t better,” he adds. So, the focus was on drawing more restaurants and expanding on the experience without going bigger in terms of attendance.

Rupert says, “We’ve really refined the concept. And, in the process of doing it, we’ve learned how awesome it’s been to do it a second year.”

As for the quality of the food, Thousand says, “It’s going to be outstanding. Everybody’s bringing their A-game.”

The food will be the chefs’ best work, and their dishes will be paired with craft beers randomly chosen after tasting and matching flavors—the sours, the sweets, the stouts, barley wine, IPAs and old-style German lagers.

“We wanted to make sure with each dinner that they go to the brewery and taste each beer,” Thousand says.

“It’s the who’s who of Flagstaff in terms of food and beer is what it is,” Rupert adds.

Taste bud journey

The menu is top secret.

“I think that what people can expect is a little something that represents each restaurant and chef,” Thousand says. “There’s going to be a little something from everybody.”

There will be some teasing of the menu items on social media, but for the most part, the participating chefs are going to let people come in and be taken back by what they’re going to get. The whole evening will be an experience.

Guests will go on a journey, with each course

they receive being different from the previous.

Yet all the meals and beers will flow, with style and grace, with a constant level of surprise, Rupert says. Suspend the disbelief and come in expecting the amazing.

“We’re not going to tell you what you’re going to get ahead of time, but we can guarantee that it’s going to knock your socks off,” Rupert says.

Thousand adds with a smile, “It’s going to be a great dinner.”

The intimate size of the Legion kitchen will help with the local comradery that already exists among Flagstaff’s chefs and brewers, Thousand says. They are coming together for a good cause to create an event to remember.

“It’s the first time in a while that all the guys are getting together in one kitchen and helping to cook each other’s food,” Thousand says.

Nigg says, “The interesting thing about the dinner is that it’s electric and eclectic. It’s mainly electric. You can feel it. It’s really neat.”

The food and beer pairings feature interesting matchups that people don’t often get to experience. And the demographic will be just as eclectic, Thousand says. Last year, the diners were doctors, lawyers, industry people, veterans, college kids, blue collar, white collar and no collar.

People ages 21 to 65 were represented.

Rupert says, “It was a cross section of Flagstaff.”

The ABV: Beer Dinner is on the last Saturday of Arizona Beer Week. It is a culmination event for a statewide 10-day celebration to all things beer.

“We were thinking, ‘Let’s close it out,’” Rupert says. “It’ll be the event to go to. There’s no better way to showcase a town that is easily becoming one of the leading craft beer towns in the country.”

More ABV: Beer Dinner will be planned for the future Rupert and Thousand say.

“I don’t ever see myself not doing this,” Rupert says. “I just see us continuing to do this time and time again, year after year, building on the foundation of previous years.”

The event is sponsored by Findlay Toyota.

The ABV: Beer Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Sat, Feb. 20, at the American Legion Mark A. Moore Post No. 3, 204 W. Birch Ave. Tickets are $75 per person and are available at the State Bar, Satchmo’s and the American Legion. For tickets online, visit www.abvbeerdinner.brownpapertickets.com.

MUSIC

Vibewaves Pacesetters in the metallurgic arts Willie Cross  Black Tusk Pillars of Ash  Grade: A-

When a central, founding member of a band passes away, their fanbase mourns along with the band while commiserating over what might happen next. When Black Tusk’s founding bassist Jonathan Athon passed away in a motorcycle accident, the band had its legs swept out from under it. But Athon had already recorded all of his parts for the band’s next album, and the most fitting tribute possible was to carry on producing the album.

Pillars of Ash is that album, and it is an ideal monument to Athon’s life. The classic ferocity and trajectory of previous Black Tusk albums is present, but it is made all the more pertinent by producer Joel Grind, member of Toxic Holocaust.

Grind draws out the savage grit of Black Tusk while clearing out some of the haze that hung over their previous albums.

The band was clearly on the same warpath it had been waging since their founding in 2005. Pillars of Ash charges out of the gate with “God’s on Vacation.”

Black Tusk maintains a lyrical irreverence that deepens their ties to the punk elements that run throughout Pillars of Ash. This extends all the way to the album’s second-to-last song, “Punkout,” an open invitation to circle pitting.

Black Tusk showcases their innate ability to seamlessly blend the gamut of metal genres into one coherent, punishing whole on Pillars of Ash. The genre “sludge metal” is commonly tossed around in regard to Black Tusk, but the most apt title may simply be “metal.”

The album’s tracks consistently move from hardcore to death metal to Southern metal and back again, fueled by dueling vocals from guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer Jamie May. Pillars of Ash is metal gospel, and contains tracks to persuade nearly anyone to rip the sleeves off their shirt and dive headfirst into the pit. While the specter of Athon hangs over the album, we can best respect his legacy by simply raising the devil horns.

18 | flaglive.com | Feb. 18-24, 2016

 Conan Revengeance  Grade: B+

The doom metal genre has enjoyed a bit of a revival lately, with artists such as Windhand and Dopethrone churning out punishing records of the slow-moving and heavy varieties. But the genre is not without its need for progression. Thus enters the most prominent wielders of doom metal inspired by the heathen pursuit of war craft, Liverpool, U.K.-based Conan.

The three-piece has gone through a number of lineup changes since their inception.

Guitarist Jon Davis is the only original member still in the band, but his willingness to allow new members to influence Conan’s sound presents a positive evolution on Revengeance. Drummer Rich Lewis presents the greatest contrast to previous Conan drummers. His willingness to play much faster passages introduces a whole new distinction to Conan’s sound—one that bolsters the Viking battlefield vibe that the band has come to be known for.

But Conan is still willing to slowly crush the listener underfoot, as in the aptly titled “Thunderhoof,” the album’s second track. The band starts off bludgeoning through a slow-paced intro, eventually progressively slowing down the tempo to the point of approximately three headbangs per minute (HPM).

Conan doubles down at this pace through the next track “Wrath Gauntlet,” only to catch the listener unawares with a 0 to 60 transition to the album’s title track.

But Conan pulls it off, and “Revengeance” sounds perfectly suited to the rest of the record. It is a welcome shift in the doom metal genre.

Revengeance avoids the typical slow moving, heavy pace of most doom metal records. It also raises questions about where Conan can go next with this beast that they’ve created, but somehow that is always the question after each Conan record. Without a doubt, whatever happens next is sure to be heavy.

among Drake’s former protégé The Weeknd, current OVO Sound labelmate PartyNextDoor and Drake’s main producer Noah “40” Shebib, this particular aesthetic took shape.

With Majid Jordan’s LP it almost reaches its logical conclusion. Hopefully this bears hope for an evolution beyond OVO sound before Drake allows it to permanently define his—and his artists’—aesthetic.

While A Place Like This featured five dense, lush soirées into a landscape of tightly-produced blends of hip-hop and R&B, the self-titled LP feels largely devoid of the inspira Majid Jordan Majid Jordan tion found on that EP.

Deeper than water The real stink in Flint’s water scandal

T

he tap water in Flint, Mich., is not the only thing that stinks and leaves a horrible taste in one’s mouth.

The governor and his agency heads who caused the sudden appearance of lead and other toxics in the water that the families of Flint drank and showered in for a year-and-a-half are even more disgusting. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, a laissez-fairyland corporate ideologue, supported the switch of Flint’s water source from Lake Huron Jim to the cheaper stuff in the Hightower contaminate Flint River, claiming that this could cut some $2 million from the city’s budget. Never mind that the corrosive river water caused lead to leach from the city’s pipes into the water that every resident uses. For more than a year, Snyder and his agency heads denied that this might pose a health problem, even mocking locals who complained about the foul liquid coming out of their taps.

Recently, however, a citizens group called Progress Michigan, uncovered internal documents from Snyder’s budget department revealing that in January of last year the agency’s honchos were so

alarmed by Flint’s toxic-laced H2O that they supplied coolers filled with bottled water for their employees in the Flint office. Yes, Snyder’s budgeteers were not about to drink that poisonous stuff themselves. A January 2015 advisory from the budget agency’s headquarters assured the Flint office that pure bottled water “will be provided [on each floor of the Flint office] as long as the public water does not meet treatment requirements.” This cynical, self-serving move came a full year before nationwide public outrage finally forced Snyder to provide safe bottled water to the regular people of Flint.

The Flint water scandal is a perfect expression of the right-wing mentality of self-entitlement. To them “public service” means elites serving themselves—the actual public be damned.

BARTENDER WISDOM

From the sage files My life has been spent in the midst of heroic landscapes which never overwhelmed me and yet I live in a single room in the city— the room a lens focusing on a sheet of paper.

— Philip Whalen

W

hen this Bartender Wisdom column first found its genesis, the idea of an advice column was at its heart. I’d take questions and generate answers. There were just two problems.

One, who the hell wants to be told what to do? I’ve always taken advice from one eager to give it with a grain of salt, as they say (and that’s some good advice). Two, being someJames thing of a Luddite, I hate Jay the idea of being emailed questions to answer.

Mostly I received email ads anyway. So the column evolved into more of the storytelling format it functions under now.

Still, occasionally I’ll check that email, sift past the how to invest your money, fix your limp junk, and who to vote for ads and find some questions. For old time’s sake, I decided to field some.

Being a writer and working at a bar, do you get a lot of stories from the patrons?

No. Not really. Not in the same way as a writer like Nelson Algren, who in his collection of short stories, Neon Wilderness, wrote about the characters in the 1920s speakeasies of Chicago.

Rather, I’ll get pieces of information here and there. For example, a retired FBI agent drinking a Guinness mentions that the mob’s relationship to the feds in New York in the ’80s was nothing like the movies show. Then, I’ll be reminded to focus in my own writing on specifics and first hand observations more. I don’t write about his fed stories; they’re his after all. Rather, I’m reminded to take care with particulars. So the concepts are useful to me as a writer in a more general way.

A related question I was emailed from a different person: I’m a poet and painter. I don’t know what to do to pay bills though. Does being a bartender lend itself to being more artistic or literary? Should I be a bartender so I can

keep the lights on and still be a great painter?

For the last few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a terrific electrician, Scott, while we’re doing some repairs and much needed maintenance at the pub. In the mornings before we open, he pulls wires, hauls out old conduits. If you look up, he’s somewhere in the rafters plugging away. He learned his trade while in the Navy and works with what one might describe as a military precision as he efficiently plots out the next move.

The other night he was back at the pub on stage reading Audre Lorde poems as part of our bi-monthly open mic show, Poet’s Den. He was great. A real pro on the mic, and I talked to him a bit about it afterwards. It turns out, besides being retired Navy and an electrician; Scott’s an actor—and from what it sounds like, a pretty good one, too. He’s been an extra in a few of the big budget films: usually a law enforcement guy. He’s also done all sorts of local theater work. So, what you do to pay the bills doesn’t matter. (Do make sure to pay them because it’s cold during the Flagstaff winter.) But, find a way to pursue your passion.

Similarly, for a long time a colleague of mine, Carrie, slung drinks as one of the best bartenders in town. She was also an amazing rock climber, being featured as a climbing model in several national climbing magazines. Bartending did suit her ability to find a way to pay the bills and block out time (as if it too were her job) to climb. Now she’s working on becoming an accountant.

I’m sure the same discipline to balance work, and doing that very well, with her passion, climbing, and doing that very well, still occurs—even if the work environment has changed for her quite a bit.

I began this column with words from the great Beat poet, Philip Whalen who worked in his youth as a fire lookout. I’ll close with a few of his lines as well. It’s the tension between discipline and unreasonable passion that makes literature great. Both skills are equal. Slainte.

Now and then they ask me To write something for them And I do.

For more than 20 years, James Jay has worked in the bar business from dishwasher, bouncer, bartender, bar manager to pub owner. He is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry and his poems have been selected for the New Poets of the American West anthology.
