Local developer creates affordable app to help small businesses incentivize and retain customers
Skateboarding is only the tip of the iceberg at Fall Into Fort 2017.
BOISE SKATEBOARDING COMPETITION GOES BIG TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR ADDICTION
AMY ATKINS How many times have you gone to your favorite coffeeshop and, as you’re paying the bill, realized you forgot your loyalty or punch card? If your java joint of choice is Starbucks, the answer is probably none, because Starbucks has a slick mobile app that makes it easy for customers to cash in on frequent visits. Getting a custom app developed can cost $50,000 to $1 million, though, plus tens of thousands more in regular updates and maintenance fees. It isn’t a viable option for many local and independent small business owners—at least, it wasn’t until now. Local software company Sparkage, Inc. (getsparkage.com) has developed a user-friendly app that allows even the smallest shop to stay connected with its customers and reward them for their loyalty for a fraction of the price. Tyler Robertson, one of three Sparkage cofounders, manages marketing for the company. “We provide companies of all sizes [the ability] to have their own app, available in app stores, that allows them to communicate with their custom-

ers about news and events and promote their company,” Tyler said. The app runs on iOS and Android; it’s native, meaning it looks and works like an app as opposed to a website squished to fit on a mobile device; a business owner can manage the app online from anywhere; and it’s available via subscription for $99 per month. “But I would say the biggest key we offer is the tools for customer retention and to reward customer loyalty,” Tyler said. The other two Sparkage co-founders, brothers Drew and Ryan Lederman, agreed with Tyler. Drew added, “It’s a web-based service, so you don’t have to know how to code, you don’t have to have a technical background. You just come to our website and build an app.” By “build” he means “pick modules from a template.” Sparkage does offer custom design and development (for an additional fee), but the
range of templates and accompanying models available suits a variety of business types, like restaurants, retail outlets and churches. Even though both Drew and Ryan have extensive technical backgrounds, they knew if the app was too complicated, it would defeat the purpose: to allow companies of any size to have an affordable app that looks and works like it was developed specifically for them. So Sparkage focused on function without sacrificing form, and although the app only recently launched, some local businesses like Treasure Valley Vapors and Off Broadway Deli are already using it. Drew, Ryan and Tyler said Sparkage gives small businesses an opportunity to take advantage of mobile technology without breaking the bank. “We’re leveling the playing field,” Ryan said. Check out the explanatory video at getsparkage. com.
NEWS/EXTRA PHIL MCGRANE, ADA COUNTY ELECTIONS AND BENDER Responding to a question about when there might be online voting in Idaho, Phil McGrane, chief deputy to the Ada County clerk, didn’t waste words: “Not in my lifetime.” In 2010, Washington, D.C., experimented with an electronic voting system, inviting hackers to interfere with a mock school board election. Within hours, a University of Michigan professor and two graduate students had broken into the system, elected Futurama character Bender to the D.C. school board, replaced the “Thank you for voting” message with “Owned,” and programmed it to play the University of Michigan fight song, “Hail to the Victors.” The changes went unnoticed for 48 hours. “Unless you want Bender as president—and some of you might want that right now—we won’t be voting online,” McGrane told a contingent from the League of Women Voters Sept. 13 at the Ada County Courthouse. For McGrane, it was a chance to demystify voting and elections at a time of high interest in the issue; for the league, it was a chance to turn down the heat in one of the most partisan times in living memory. “This is something we can do nonpartisan, and it’s something we can do BOISE WEEKLY.COM
right now,” said Crystal Callahan, a member of LWV. “And it’s a hot-button issue.” The 2016 general election put elections in the spotlight, with claims of millions of illegal ballots cast, the winner receiving the fewest votes and election interference by Russian agents. In July, a presidential election integrity commission requested sensitive information about Idaho voters. Its request was eventually fulfilled, but only with publicly available data. Callahan, an Idaho native, joined LWV after the 2016 election because of the intense partisanship she saw on Facebook. She and LWV turned to McGrane, who spoke on a variety of topics, from the power of primaries (“Four percent of the people in the State of Idaho determined who would be on the ballot in the [2016] general election”) to why the counties where Idahoans travel farthest to get to polls have the highest voter turnout. There were fewer than a dozen people at the event, but for Callahan, it was a start. “We’re reintroducing the League of Women Voters,” she said. “We just want to get the service and organization back out there.” —Harrison Berry
The Boardroom, a go-to local skate and snowboard shop, has hosted the Fall Into Fort skateboarding competition at Fort Street Skate Park for six years running. While past gatherings were limited to die-hard fans and competitors, the 2017 event on Saturday, Sept. 23, is going bigger and bolder, supplementing the showdown with food trucks, art booths, live music, sumo wrestling, a social bike ride, monster boxing and more—all to raise awareness for addiction and local resources for recovery. September is National Recovery Month, and, according to Brandt Gibson, founder and director of local zero-tolerance house River Sober Living, the perfect time to launch a new kind of recovery-centric event, one that will reach beyond the community in recovery and touch those still in need. Gibson contacted The Boardroom, which passed him the reigns on FIF. “What I wanted to do was put together an event that would appeal to the general public, and get them to have a great time,” Gibson said. “Then, when they’re there, say ‘Oh, by the way, if you happen to know of somebody who’s struggling right now with addiction or alcoholism, here’s a handful of resources.’” RSL will work with myriad other groups— including Zelus Recovery, Recovery for Life, Ignite208 and Acqua Recovery Center—to raise awareness at the event, and local organizations like Boise Bicycle Project, Boise Hive, Rocky Mountain Audio Visual Inc. and Radio Boise will provide pro-bono entertainment. “I’m not making a dollar. No one in the event is making any money,” said Gibson, whose goal is to raise awareness, not funds. “All of the money that I raised in sponsorships and through the people who are paying a few bucks to have a booth rental is going toward cost.” The party kicks off at 11 a.m. with a family bike ride beginning at BBP headquarters on Lusk Street and ending at the skate park, where festivities will run from noon to 4 p.m. Whether you’re in recovery yourself, know someone who would benefit from more information or just want to have a good time, FIF is ready to help. —Lex Nelson BOISEweekly | SEPTEMBER 20–26, 2017 | 5

BOISE FILM FESTIVAL
JINKX SINGS EVERYTHING!
MEG BRYANT IS “SOMEBODY”
The Boise art sphere has seen a groundswell of creative output in recent years. One area experiencing a surge is film, from longstanding events like i48 to newer additions like the Idaho Horror Film Festival and the annual Boise Film Festival. BFF is a multi-day extravaganza founded in 2015 by local producer and actress Lana Westbrook. This year, the fest will show off films from Idaho and beyond in an action-packed four-day weekend full of premiers, talks, panels and Q&A sessions. Idaho filmmakers and production company reps will be on hand, and a host of diverse events will have film buffs crisscrossing downtown for parties and screenings at multiple locations. At BFF, the big screen gets even bigger. Sept. 21: noon-7:45 p.m., Sept. 22: noon-10 p.m., Sept. 23: 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m., Sept. 24: 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., prices and locations vary, boisefilmfestival.org.
Trained singer and actor Jerick Hoffer a.k.a. drag queen extraordinaire Jinkx Monsoon has been creating Jinkx’s character since the age of 15. With influences ranging from Lucille Ball to his own grandmother, Jinkx is what Hoffer calls “a zany, off the wall, irreverent, gorgeous anachronism… a powerhouse of song and comedy” who “refuses to let her audience sit idle.” With a Guinness World Record (longest drag queen chorus line) and a Rupaul’s Drag Race crown (season five) under her belt, Jinkx is more than ready to dominate the Egyptian Theatre stage. Audiences will have a chance to challenge the queen by tossing out names of Broadway showtunes that she’ll then sing off the cuff. After, join fellow fans at The Balcony to party with the queen. VIP doors: 5:30 p.m., general admission: 7 p.m., show: 8-11 p.m., $25-$70. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-387-1273, egyptiantheatre.net.
With four children at home, a daughter she previously gave up for adoption back in her life and the end of a 16-year marriage, Idaho Laugh Fest creator Meg Bryant has enough emotional fodder to power a dozen one-woman shows—and she has decided to start with one: “Meg Bryant is Somebody.” For two nights at Boise Contemporary Theater, the comedian, author and improv instructor will entertain audiences with jokes, stories, poems, musical numbers and more. “We all crave validation, significance and a sense of belonging. It’s a lonely place when we get wrapped up inside our own minds,” Bryant wrote in a press release. “As important as the healing properties of laughter are, the ability to let down our walls... [is] just as vital.” 7 p.m., $15. For ages 13 and older. Boise Contemporary Theater, 854 W. Fulton St., 208-331-9224, meetmeganbryant.com.

methodically categorizing it. Altogether, these gems from the past and present betrayed an obsessive search for personal metaphors to weave into her art. They helped forge a visual vocabulary that was cerebral, idiosyncratic and multi-faceted. Standing before the results was being in the presence of something special. Shurtleff’s virtuosity with a limited palette of black and gray rendered in pencil and charcoal was astounding. She described graphite as “a sensuous medium” which she used to great effect in creating dense, rich surfaces with layers of countless strokes that took on the viscosity of oil paint. Her labor-intensive technique rendered deep blacks that had an almost hypnotic effect on viewers, beckoning them, inviting them to interact with the imagery. Once a viewer caught on, they understood why she considered drawing “a meditative experience in real time.” Shurtleff looked at art as a conjuring, transformative medium, filled with omens and signs. She was fascinated by words and symbols and felt compelled to examine the power they hold over us all, especially in combination. The most seminal of her works in which these two elements combine is Magic Power, from 1991.

EXCERPT: KAREN HAVEY WRITES FILM SCORE, RELEASES NEW EP
It was all smiles at TIFF 2017: Willem Dafoe (top left), Frances McDormand (center), George Clooney (top right), Angelina Jolie (lower left), Brie Larson (lower right).
THE UNEXPECTED
Premium movies that premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival will entice and surprise when they hit theaters later this year GEORGE PRENTICE No one fired a starter gun at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival— although there was an abundance of gunplay on the big screen—but the race to Oscar gold has begun, and more than a few competitors are already in the passing lane. Let’s face it: Films this year were dismal, and with rare exceptions (Get Out, Dunkirk) 2017 has been on life support. However, with the strongest slate of films in recent memory, TIFF 2017 injected a surge of prize-worthy plasma. The coming months will bring a host of contenders to a cinema near us. The most coveted prize at TIFF is not bestowed by a jury or panel: It’s awarded by the audience. Paying members of the public (attendance topped 4.7 million this year) choose the one film that stands out from the rest, and the People’s Choice Award this year went toThree Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri (I couldn’t agree more). Written and directed by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) and starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards is a force of nature that takes on nothing less than the American penchant for violence, the elusive nature of justice and the grace often found in the unlikeliest of people and places. I screened 50-plus films at TIFF this year (don’t try this at home—I’m a professional, and I’m exhausted), most of which are ranked to the right in alphabetical order on a scale of 1 to 5 maple leaves. The cream of the crop get five leaves, the next best get four leaves and so on. See you at the cinema! BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Karen Havey, formerly of Boise, has always been a bit of an autodidact. The name of her new EP, Bedroom Visionaries (self-released, 2017), came from an online poetry class. “There was this book [for class],” Havey said. “I was just kind of flipping through it one day, and I came across this poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Within the poem, he’s talking about these poets [who] need to get out and actually do something, basically, and the line ‘Bedroom Visionaries’ is in there. I remember reading that and being like, ‘Oh, that is perfect.’” The phrase could also describe Havey’s musical evolution. Starting with multi-tracking experiments at home as a teenager, she fashioned a moody, elegant synth-pop sound that evokes a tougher, more self-aware Bat for Lashes. Performing as Hey V Kay, she was one of the most distinctive—and unheralded—artists of the Boise music scene in recent years. Released on Sept. 19 under her new band name Half Shy, Bedroom Visionaries features Havey’s most assured and polished work to date. Although she lives in Seattle now, she still has a hand in Boise art—she wrote the score for the Lady Les Bois-produced web series Animal Warmth (2017), which will have a screening at the Boise Film Festival on Friday, Sept. 22. Havey’s voice impressed Animal Warmth writer-director Joshua Ray Malan. “It’s so strong that it’s like she’s not going to show off how strong it is,” Malan said. “There’s a tenderness to that and a subtleness to the way she goes there. But if she wanted to, you get the feeling that she could fill an arena with that voice.” Malan and his creative partner, Kirsten Strough, asked Havey if they could use “Growing Up to Grow Apart”—a wistful tune about Havey losing a childhood friendship—as the theme song for their show. Havey not only agreed, but offered to score the whole series as well. Malan believes Havey’s music works so well cinematically because of its restraint. “She’s obviously demonstrating a lot of talent, but it’s not very ‘look at me,’” he said. “It’s very much about making you feel a certain way.” —Ben Schultz Read the full story online at boiseweekly. com.

On digital privacy, hiding in plain sight and smartphones as master spies HARRISON BERRY

A few months after the 9/11 terror attacks, Hasan Elahi stepped off a plane in Detroit, only to be detained by the FBI. A tipster alerted the bureau Elahi had been stockpiling explosives in a Florida storage unit, agents later told him. The allegations were untrue, but triggered months of investigations into the life of the artist and lecturer, and years of insecurity: What if there were another allegation, miscommunication or mix-up that landed him in a detention cell? Elahi’s solution was Tracking Transience, an art project that posts virtually every detail of his life online, from his exact location to photos of the meal he just ate—when he spoke with Boise Weekly, he was cooking potatoes, roasted eggplant and couscous with “Turkish-ish flavors.” Elahi’s response to the sustained inquiries into his life by the security state is now years old. Before his art talk, Hiding in Plain Sight, at Surel’s Place Thursday, Sept. 21, and his featured talk at Slammers in the Slam by Story Story Night on Tuesday, Sept. 26, he opened up about his digitally transparent lifestyle and the morality of smartphones. Why post everything about yourself on a website? My reaction was not unlike anybody else’s initial reaction of being accused of being a terrorist suspect. You get angry about it, but after a couple of weeks, then what? I think that’s where it hit me: I could do something about it. I could turn this around and that’s the approach I took with it. Why should we redefine privacy in the internet age? You may be the most secretive person in the world, but that doesn’t prevent other people from publishing information about you. When you look at what’s in your phone, your phone is a master spy. It takes care of so many bits of detail. What’s left of your privacy? I’m telling you everything, but I’m also telling you almost nothing, and the rationale there is that what I’m giving you requires so much interpretation. There’s a hyperspecificity to the information I’m presenting, but I’m telling you everything and nothing simultaneously. It’s a temporary fix because these algorithms will only get more sophisticated. When you look at a photo I’m putting up [on my website], you may not know what

I’m thinking or feeling. Right now I’m adding noise to the system and hiding in plain sight. It’s camouflage. Is there a spiritual element to this? The French root for the word ‘surveillance’ is over-watching or watching from above. The concept of God watching has been embedded in us for thousands of years. Of course there’s a camera watching over us. You behave because you’re being watched, and whether that watching is from a surveillance camera or being watched from a being higher, you’re still being watched. What do you make of leakers like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning? We’ve always had these types of leaks. If you go a few hundred years back, the conversation was verbal or you could keep paper secret. Digital information isn’t copied: It replicates. That’s the collision that’s taking place. How do you cope with the digital/analog problem? I think we’re going to have to have a different set of value judgments. It’s not necessarily a better/ worse situation. It’s the fact that they’re different and we have to be open to that adaptation. Everybody knows everybody’s business. We can handle that when it takes place in a small town, but we struggle with that when it’s billions of people simultaneously. How do you turn this into art? My project was never intended to be an art project. A better way to describe this is, ‘How might someone who is an artist react to this happening in their life?’ I’ve always felt the role of an artist is to hold a mirror up to society and depict what is happening around them. What am I not asking? It was just a few years ago, I was talking to this museum, and they said, ‘You have so much of your information in the public, but we need your date of birth for the labels.’ You’d assume on the internet that’s one of the first things you’d find out about people, but there’s a very specific set of information I’ve decided to present. It’s a large footprint, but a very controlled footprint. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

JAX HATS: THE FUNN BUN BEANIE For people with long hair, ball caps are great in hot weather: put your hair in a ponytail, pull it through the hole at the back of the cap and, voila, your head is covered and your hair is out of the way. Cold weather used to be a different story, but thanks to Jax Hats, a Missoula, Montana-based company specializing in warm headwear, that cap magic is now available year-round in The $25-$30 per hat, available online at jaxhats.com or the Funn Bun, an adorable beanie with jaxhatsmontana Etsy store a bun/braid/ponytail hole. The Jax mission is to “save the world from ugly sweaters one hat at a time,” and the company is achieving its goal by upcycling those pullovers to make all kinds of hats, along with The Funn Bun, in a range of fabrics, patterns and sizes. If you can’t find the look you want, don’t worry. Jax will make one to your specifications for just $5 extra. —Lex Nelson Taken by instagram user aishadhunter.
DEAR LDS, You have no easy task ahead of you. I believe you were acting in good faith when you started your journey with your wife. Many try to adhere to the tenets of their faith and expectations of their church when building their lives. You owe it to yourself to live an honest life. Your wife also deserves an honest life. I’d suggest starting a conversation with your wife letting her know what is going on. You might employ a relationship counselor to help with this. Once you’ve gotten to a place of understanding with her, then the two of you, since you are both still parents, can decide how and when to tell your children. Brace yourself for fallout. Speak your truth. Aid the healing in whatever way you can. Visit affirmations.org to see how other Mormons and their families are navigating these issues.

HOBO JARGON
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Psychologists say most people need a scapegoat—a personification of wickedness and ignorance onto which they can project the unacknowledged darkness in their own hearts. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to neutralize that reflex and at least partially divest yourself of the need for scapegoats. How? The first thing to do is identify your own darkness with courageous clarity. Get to know it better. Converse with it. Negotiate with it. The more conscientiously you deal with that shadowy stuff within you, the less likely you’ll be to demonize other people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If the weather turns bad or your allies get sad or the news of the world grows even crazier, you will thrive. I’m not exaggerating or flattering you. It’s exactly when events threaten to demoralize you that you’ll have maximum power to redouble your fortitude and effectiveness. Developments other people regard as daunting will trigger breakthroughs for you. Your allies’ confusion will mobilize you to manifest your unique visions of what it takes to live a good life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried,” declared comedian Steven Wright. My great uncle Ned had a different

perspective. “If at first you don’t succeed,” he told me, “redefine the meaning of success.” I’m not a fan of Wright’s advice, but Ned’s counsel has served me well. I recommend you try it out, Gemini. Here’s another bit of folk wisdom that might be helpful. Psychotherapist Dick Olney said that what a good therapist does is help her clients wake up from the delusion that they are the image they have of themselves. CANCER (June 21-July 22): What is home? The poet Elizabeth Corn pondered that question. She then told her lover that home was “the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your rib cage.” I offer this as inspiration, Cancerian, since now is a perfect time to dream up your own poetic testimonial about home. What experiences make you love yourself best? What situations bring out your most natural exuberance? What influences feel like gifts and blessings? Those are all clues to the beloved riddle “What is home?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re most likely to thrive if you weave together a variety of styles and methods. The coming weeks will be a highly miscellaneous time, and you can’t afford to get stuck in any single persona or approach.
As an example of how to proceed, I invite you to borrow from both the thoughtful wisdom of the ancient Greek poet Homer and the silly wisdom of the cartoon character Homer Simpson. First, the poet: “As we learn, we must daily unlearn something which it has cost us no small labor and anxiety to acquire.” Now, here’s Homer Simpson: “Every time I learn something new, it pushes out something old.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Filmmakers often have test audiences evaluate their products before releasing them to the masses. If a lot of viewers express a particular critique, the filmmaker may make changes, even cutting out certain scenes or altering the ending. You might want to try a similar tack in the coming weeks, Virgo. Solicit feedback on the new projects and trends you’ve been working on—not just from anyone, of course, but rather from smart people who respect you, and be sure they’re not inclined to tell you only what you want to hear. Get yourself in the mood to treasure honesty and objectivity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The poet E. E. Cummings said, “To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else— means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” On the
other hand, naturalist and writer Henry David Thoreau declared, “We are constantly invited to be who we are,” to become “something worthy and noble.” So which of these two views is correct? Is fate aligned against us, working hard to prevent us from knowing and showing our authentic self? Or is fate forever conspiring in our behalf, seducing us to master our fullest expression? I’m not sure if there’s a final, definitive answer, but I can tell you this, Libra: In the coming months, Thoreau’s view will be your predominant truth. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “When you do your best, you’re depending to a large extent on your unconscious, because you’re waiting for the thing you can’t think of.” So said Scorpio director Mike Nichols in describing his process of making films. Now I’m conveying this idea to you just in time for the beginning of a phase I call “Eruptions from Your Unconscious.” In the coming weeks, you will be ripe to receive and make good use of messages from the depths of your psyche. At any other time, these simmering bits of brilliance might remain below the threshold of your awareness, but for the foreseeable future, they’ll be bursting through and making themselves available to be plucked. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Barbara Ehrenreich has
done extensive research on the annals of partying. She says modern historians are astounded by the prodigious amount of time medieval Europeans spent having fun together. “People feasted, drank, and danced for days on end,” she writes. Seventeenth-century Spaniards celebrated festivals five months of each year. In 16th-century France, peasants devoted an average of one day out of every four to “carnival revelry.” In accordance with current astrological omens, you Sagittarians are authorized to match those levels of conviviality in the coming weeks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Kittens made French Emperor Napoleon III lose his composure. He shook and screamed around them. Butterflies scare actress Nicole Kidman. My friend Allie is frightened by photos of Donald Trump. As for me, I have an unnatural fear of watching reality TV. What about you, Capricorn? Are you susceptible to any odd anxieties or nervous fantasies that provoke agitation? If so, the coming weeks will be a perfect time to overcome them. Why? Because you’ll be host to an unprecedented slow-motion outbreak of courage that you can use to free yourself from long-standing worries. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The brain is wider than the sky,” wrote Emily Dickinson. “The brain
is deeper than the sea.” I hope you cultivate a vivid awareness of those truths in the coming days, Aquarius. In order to accomplish the improbable tasks you have ahead of you, you’ve got to unleash your imagination, allowing it to bloom to its full power so it can encompass vast expanses and delve down into hidden abysses. Try this visualization exercise: Picture yourself bigger than the planet Earth, holding it tenderly in your hands. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I got an email from a fan of Piscean singer Rihanna. He complained that my horoscopes rarely mention celebrities. “People love astrological predictions about big stars,” he wrote. “So what’s your problem? Are you too ‘cultured’ to give us what we the people really want? Get off your high horse and ‘lower’ yourself to writing about our heroes. You could start with the lovely, talented and very rich Rihanna.” I told Rihanna’s fan my advice for mega-stars is sometimes different from what it is for average folks. For Piscean megastars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ellen Page and Bryan Cranston, for example, the coming weeks will be a time to lay low, chill out and recharge, but non-famous Pisceans will have prime opportunities to boost their reputation, expand their reach and wield a stronger-thanusual influence in the domains they frequent.
