EDITOR’S NOTE WHO’S THE BEST? That’s a question only you can answer… but first, you’ll have to decide who’s in the running. Best of Boise 2018 nominations close Wednesday, March 28, at midnight, so you have until then to throw a little love at your favorite people, places and things so they have a better chance of making it to the ballot. BOB 2018 voting opens Wednesday, April 11, and runs through Monday, April 30. The winners will be published in our May 30 edition, and we’ll celebrate them, BOB and Boise Weekly at the Big Le Boise, our annual kick-ass street fair, on Saturday, June 2, right outside BWHQ. Email info@boiseweekly. com with questions. In other Boise Weekly news, we said goodbye to our friend and former art director Kelsey Hawes. She has some exciting projects on the horizon, and although we will miss her muchly around here, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. Stepping up to the role of art director is Jason Jacobsen. As a part-time graphic designer, Jason has been a member of the BW family for a long time and we are overjoyed to have him as our new art director. In other other Boise Weekly news, there’s some great reading in this issue. Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry takes an in-depth look at how virtual reality is more than an entertainment option, especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Staff Writer Lex Nelson really lived up to her job title this week, with takes on three eateries (Lemon Tree Co., The Sturiale Place and Cupbop), two artists and exhibits (Clarissa Callesen at Surel’s Place and Nancy Sathre-Vogel at Art Source Gallery) and more. News Editor/Film Guru George Prentice delivers the lowdown on the 2018 Sun Valley Film Festival, where he sat down with the likes of Jeanne Tripplehorn, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay Duplass for the uber-popular SVFF Coffee Talks. Even yours truly added to this edition. I chatted with the three members of synth-pop band Trans Atlantic Crush about how by working virtually, their lush new album Sea of Dreams became a reality. Find all that and so much more inside. Happy reading! —Amy Atkins

MAIL SEND SOME GEM STATE LOVE Dear People of the Great State of Idaho, Hello! I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. In third grade, we do state reports, and I have chosen your state! I am very excited to learn more about the great state of Idaho. Information that I gather for my report will mainly be from books and websites, but I would also like to get information from the people who live in Idaho. This is why I am writing to you. I was hoping you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more about your state, like postcards, maps, pictures, souvenirs, general information, this newspaper article, or any other items that would be useful. You can mail items to the address below. I really appreciate your help! Sincerely, William, Mrs. Robinson’s Class, The Langley School, 1411 Balls Hill Road, McLean, Virginia 22101

OPINION: PAST AND CURRENT PRESIDENTS OF FRIENDS OF IDAHO PUBLIC TELEVISION ON CUTS Once again, President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed drastic cuts to public media. The president’s 2019 plan proposes to fund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting at $15 million, a 97 percent reduction. Idaho Public Television has an annual budget of $9 million, of which $1.5 million is allocated from CPB—$3 million comes from the state general fund, and the balance of about $4.5 million comes from grants and contributions by Idaho residents. Under

Trump’s proposed budget, Idaho’s public TV station would lose $1.5 million of base funding, weakening the sustainability of IdahoPTV as we know it. What are we risking? IdahoPTV supports Idaho’s citizens in significant ways. It reaches nearly 100 percent of Idaho’s population, even its rural areas that have minimal connectivity. It is often the most-watched PBS station per capita in the nation, with approximately 450,000 weekly viewers. That’s 27 percent of Idaho’s population. IdahoPTV is one of the most efficient and effective educational resources, serving schools from rural to urban settings with programming keyed to state curriculum. There are more than 200,000 free resources available for Idaho’s public, private, and home school teachers and students at all levels from preschool to high school. The station has also implemented an array of educational outreach activities for children in local communities, especially in rural areas, with STEM camps, coding workshops and events at public libraries. Idaho public school teachers are benefiting from IdahoPTV-led instruction in the use of technology in classrooms. The station, the Friends of Idaho Public Television (a fundraising arm of IdahoPTV) and key private financial sponsors have made a strong commitment to support education. IdahoPTV, through PBS, provides top-notch entertainment, bringing the world to Idaho. In addition, PBS news programming offers balanced presentations of statewide and nationally important events— but no less important are IdahoPTV’s award-winning programs like Idaho Reports and

Idaho in Session, focusing on Idaho topics. Outdoor Idaho, one of the longest-running shows, is also one of the most watched. Idahoans learn about the state’s amazing outdoor diversity that influences local culture and economies. Members of IdahoPTV Friends represent all parts of the state. While Idaho may seem homogenous, our cultural, economic and social perspectives across the state are quite different because they have evolved over time largely from the influence of diverse regional landscapes and resources. The Friends directors have come to know and love Idaho and are proud to be Idahoans, in part, because of what we have learned from our public TV station. We Idahoans understand the needs of Idaho, we govern and we are good citizens because we know our state. We would assert this same identification with our country and appreciation for it grows from PBS programming. In 2016, the station received 55 national and regional awards, one Emmy Award and seven Emmy nominations. Without a doubt, our station strongly supports education and provides quality content and outreach so that all Idahoans become lifelong learners and better citizens. Originally, Idaho’s moniker, “the Gem State,” referred to the variety of gemstones natural to our geography. In broad contemporary terms, Idaho is known as the Gem State for our landscape, our resources and our recreation. On behalf of the Friends of Idaho Public Television, we believe one of our state’s most precious gems is our public television station, Idaho Public Television. It’s vitally important that funding continue for it at its current levels.

NEWS VIRTUAL REALITY FOR ALL

Talking ‘equitable access’ at the Boise Public Library and the only Idaho VR arcade HARRISON BERRY

With a rallying cry of “Not one more,” organizers have high hopes for the Saturday, March 24, March For Our Lives rally in Boise, one of thousands of cities staging protests in the wake of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in which 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire with a legally purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, killing 17 students and staff. After the shooting, students from the school planned a MFOL rally in Washington, D.C., but it has expanded to include cities across world. “These kids are so passionate, so amazing. I had no idea how articulate these students are. I think that’s the thing that surprised me the most,” said Jessi Huizinga, a MFOL organizer and mother of three. “These events across the nation, including the one here, are all being organized by students. A few of us parents found each other online and said we wanted to see if we could help.” Those attending the rallies will call upon elected leaders to “take action on strengthening gun legislation to make it harder for individuals to obtain weapons to carry out these attacks,” according to an official statement. Huizinga said it’s critical to note the event is non-partisan. “We have to drive home the fact that this is not political. We invited Democrats, Republicans, independents, everyone. We’ve got to come together,” she said. “Yes, it’s a complex issue, but I think we can all agree that something has to change.” The March 24 event follows a similar demonstration on the steps of the Statehouse March 14, when nearly 1,000 students from schools around the Treasure Valley staged a walkout and marched to the Capitol. Thousands of students throughout Idaho walked out of their classrooms for 17 minutes in remembrance of the people killed in Parkland. “Each and every one of you can make a change that can move mountains,” said Colette Raptosh, 17, a senior at Capital High School and an organizer of the Boise walkout who addressed the assembled crowd March 14. 7 BW heard from a number of students from across the Treasure Valley, 6 c MARCH 21–27, 2018 c BOISEweekly

STUDENTS PREPARE FOR “MARCH FOR OUR LIVES” STATEHOUSE RALLY IN BOISE

The decreasing cost and widening availability of the technology is slowly bringing virtual reality to the mass market, where it’s now used for work and play. Architects and engineers, for example, use virtual spaces to design structures. At the same time, the Boise Public Library and one Boise-area virtual reality arcade have discov-

The March for Our Lives rally is slated for Saturday, March 24, in downtown Boise.

Ted, a resident of the assisted living center The Terraces, was the first of a group of seniors waiting in line to don a virtual reality headset, and he gripped the hand controls as if they were poisonous snakes. Prompted by Danielle Worthy, a library assistant for the Bown Crossing branch of the Boise Public Library, Ted said he saw some fish and a stingray. “What do you think?” asked Worthy. “It’s goofy. It was really weird,” Ted said. Gesturing to another resident sitting on a nearby couch, he added, “You’re going to like it.” Ted was using a deep sea diving simulator called theBlu, and the rest of the residents tried other simulators in turn. Darlene chose Richie’s Plank Experience, in which she rode an elevator to the top floor of a building. The doors opened, and she was greeted by a pirate ship-style plank suspended 525 feet above a city street. Rather than walk the plank, she pressed another button that took her down to the “fire deck.” Her fellow residents watched on a laptop screen as the doors slid open to billowing digital flames. This late-January event wasn’t the first virtual reality demonstration at The Terraces, and it won’t be the last. The trend began in early 2017 when a woman in hospice care at the facility used the technology to ride on the Trans Canada Railroad, checking an item off her bucket list and alerting the staff to the promise of technology. Trips to the Bown Crossing library branch for residents to use its headsets may soon become a regular occurrence for the seniors, though this time the library came to them. In years past, people would put on cumbersome equipment at video game arcades to immerse themselves in poorly rendered 3D environments, paying extra for the privilege, but a high-tech breakout was on the horizon. In 2014, Facebook bought VR startup Oculus for $2 billion. Oculus offered a suite of headsets, cameras and controllers that was expensive ($600), and required a powerful computer to render high frame rates and detailed 3D graphics, but other companies, including HTC Vive, PlayStation, Samsung Gear and more, quickly jumped on the VR bandwagon.

ered VR is a gateway for people of all abilities to play and learn. Located in a suite in an Eagle strip mall, VR1 is the only virtual reality arcade in Idaho, and one of only a handful in the United States. From the outside it’s unassuming, occupying a narrow space between a German restaurant and a salon—a space designed more for a travel

agency or a smoothie bar than a cutting-edge commercial entertainment center. “I ran the risk of putting it here just because people like trying new things,” said owner Brendan Smythe. “I knew there might be some interest in the untapped market here.” VR arcades are popular in China, and the technology is part of the 2016-2020 five-year economic development plan for the country. By contrast, VR1, which celebrated its first year in business in February 2018, is one of a handful of arcades of its kind in America. Smythe said he expects them to become more prevalent in the U.S. over time, but added that he has tailored his business for an emerging, rather than an established, market in Idaho. VR1 has a range of programs available to customers at a base rate of $25 for 50 minutes of headset time. Users put on the headsets, grab a pair of controllers and navigate the launch menu, which includes approximately 50 “experiences,” ranging from hot titles like Batman: Arkham VR and war games like Onward to sports simulators like Fancy Skiing VR and arts programs like VR Museum of Fine Art. Smythe has made his arcade a place where people can participate even if they’re not wearing headsets. There are tables and chairs near each station where people not plugged in can watch the action on large TVs, and the arcade has become a hotspot for family gatherings and students looking for something to do with friends after school. Brendan’s sister, Talya, who works at VR1, said trips to the arcade can be family events even if only a few members of the family actually enter a VR simulation. “A lot of families have bonded over this,” she said. “I see them have that ‘wow’ aspect, and I feel so great that I get them to have that good time.” Brendan has made VR1 accessible to all comers, and clarifies on the company website that many of the games, programs and applications there are suitable for a variety of users’ physical and intellectual abilities.

“We have helped people with all ranges of body limitations, stress or anxiety, autism, social skills, and even if you are fully paralyzed, we have found relaxing VR videos or music experiences to be effective,” the website reads. “The whole family can now come together in one place.” There are, however, some medical conditions that can limit the use of VR. People with heart conditions or seizure disorders should consult a doctor before trying the technology, and there are documented instances of people with epilepsy having seizures while in a virtual setting, though that hasn’t happened at VR1. There have been many more examples of customers with cognitive disabilities blossoming under the headsets; people in wheelchairs, for example, have discovered new mobility by leaping through a virtual world at the pull of a trigger.” One elderly customer used Google Earth to visit his childhood home. He pulled off his headset and exited the booth in tears.

each echoing Raptosh’s sentiment: “We achieve as much as we aim for. As long as we remember that, we can make a change in our community,” said Felix, an eighth grader. “I think it’s important that we can show up for things and exercise our rights. Young people aren’t going to back down. We are the future,” said Tacet, a high school junior. “I came out here to let people know students have a voice,” said Zoe, a junior. “I don’t remember a time in history when more weapons meant more peace and protection,” said Acey, a senior who spoke from the podium. “We have to do something about these laws. It’s our world now,” said Gillian, a junior. At the headquarters of the Boise Independent School District, ofﬁcials told Boise Weekly guns have no place on school campuses, though some lawmakers support placing ﬁrearms in the hands of educators. “Our Board of Education has taken a position that we do not support arming teachers. We hire our teachers to teach,” said Boise School Superintendent Don Coberly. Assistant Superintendent Coby Dennis said demonstrations like those at the Idaho Statehouse are important because “it’s all about honoring our students’ voices to be heard.” “It’s about giving students an opportunity,” he added. Meanwhile, organizers of the March 24 demonstration expect an even greater level of participation, considering the event is on a Saturday. “It’s spring break. Some people may be leaving town for the break, but even more people will be coming into town because of Treefort [Music Fest],” said Huizinga. “We’re even talking to Treefort organizers to see if some live musical talent can join us,” she said, adding that Lyft will offer free rides to the demonstration. “It’s an upbeat event,” said Huizinga. “That said, this is a call to our leaders to do something instead of waiting for the next terrible incident to occur. We’ve got some passionate students who need to be heard. They’ve really taken this issue to heart.” 6

For professional landscapers and green thumbs alike, the first taste of warm weather is an exciting time to be outdoors, and the Boise Flower and Garden Show is ready to help.

In the wake of the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 dead, students around the world have mobilized to urge state and national legislators to pass stricter gun legislation, such as raising the minimum age for purchasing ﬁrearms and requiring more rigorous background checks. A series of protests, including the national student walk-out March 14, will culminate in March For Our Lives rallies in cities across the globe on Saturday, March 24. In Boise, supporters will march to the Idaho Capitol Building. “I think it’s important that we can show up for things and exercise our rights,” said a One Stone charter high school student who attended the March 14 walk-out and demonstration at the Statehouse. “Young people aren’t going to back down. We are the future.” 10 a.m.-noon. FREE. Idaho State Capitol, 700 W. Jefferson St., facebook.com/marchforourlives.

CATAPULT ENTERTAINMENT SHADOW DANCE Behind a screen, four dancers lie on their backs, twisting their legs and raising their arms to form the image of a group of swans. While that may sound like a strange drug trip, it’s actually a glimpse of what you can expect to see from Catapult Entertainment, the dance group and “shadow-illusion company” that gained national attention on America’s Got Talent season eight. The dancers create stories behind a screen, making shapes with props and their own shadows, and this month they’ll perform at the College of Idaho. Prior to the show, Caldwell Fine Arts will host a Concert Connection dinner in the C of I Simplot Dining Hall, where Professor Mike Hartwell will lecture on the art of shadow theater. Head to C of I to learn how dance and illusion mix to make magic. Concert Connection: 6:15 p.m., $6-$10. Performance: 7 p.m., $8-$30. College of Idaho Jewett Auditorium, 2112 E.

FRIDAY MARCH 23 TFM: LOLA MARSH, EL KORAH SHRINE, MARCH 21 The music of Israeli pop duo Lola Marsh is road trip magic. Its fusion of burbling electronic and acoustic sounds, and layers of pure vocals make it the perfect soundtrack for staring out a window and watching the landscape ﬂash by. Formed in Tel Aviv in 2013, the partnership of Yael Shoshana Cohen (lead vocals, percussion, ukulele) and Gil Landau (guitar, vocals) quickly sent ripples worldwide, and Cohen’s unmistakable voice helped the pair land a spot at the European Primavera Sound music festival in 2014. Though it was three more years before Lola Marsh’s debut album, Remember Roses (Anova Music, 2017), hit shelves, a slew of TICKET PRICES VARY. singles and an EP made the band a 9 p.m., El Korah Shrine, favorite on Spotify and helped keep 1118 W.

NPR Music treefortmusicfest.com. calls the duo’s hit, “Wishing Girl,” off Remember Roses, a “moodily ingratiating charm offensive”—and really, that phrase can be applied to Lola Marsh as a whole. When deciding who and what to see during Treefort Music Fest 2018, Lola Marsh should be on your agenda. —Lex Nelson 12 c MARCH 21–27, 2018 c BOISEweekly

Kathleen Madigan is one of the funniest people on the planet. She’s considered a “comic’s comic,” but audiences are crazy about her, too. Madigan is almost always on the road, from performing at clubs and theaters across North America to making countless appearances on late night television and starring in her own wildly successful television specials. She brings it all to Boise at the Egyptian Theatre on Friday, March 30, as part of her Boxed Wine and Bigfoot Tour—also the name of her current Netflix special.

don’t understand why everyone’s okay with losing a giant airplane. When it went missing, CNN, MSNBC, everybody was all over it … Day 28, day 29, day 30. Then, everybody went, “Well, I guess we lost it.”

Let’s start with that name of your tour. You can’t be rattling bottles around out in the woods. If you’re hunting for Bigfoot, you’re going to need to take boxed wine. And I’m a big proponent of boxed wine. You never really hear anybody say they got a bad box.

Can you talk about the power of Netﬂix, particularly for a comedian? It’s the greatest invention of my lifetime. Back in the day, when I would have a special on HBO, Showtime or Comedy Central, legal departments would dissect my routine. I used to do a joke about Taco Bell—nothing negative, but I mentioned Taco Bell. They said, “Could you please just say Taco Hut?” No, because nobody knows what that is. It was bullshit, nitpicking and nonsense. When I used to have a special on cable, people would ask, “When is it on?” And the people at the network wouldn’t even know. Netflix is what you want it to be. It’s like a library.

Prior to coming to Boise, you’re visiting the upper peninsula of Michigan. I’m doing a casino show, and I asked the folks at the casino if they could find somebody to take me ice fishing during the day. It’s something I always wanted to do. The lady at the casino said she would find a guy and promised he wouldn’t be a pervert. I’m like, “OK, I really don’t know if you had to get out in front of that one.” But you know what? Good luck being a pervert with the amount of clothing I bought at the bass pro shop.

I know you have a degree in journalism, so let’s talk about the news. Great! I love the news.

I wanted to wait until the end of our conversation to bring this up. Your publicist forwarded a list of [forbidden] FAQs, like, “What are the diﬀerences between male and female comics?” and “How did you get into comedy?” I would never ask these questions. You wouldn’t believe how many bad, fake journalists there are. Look, I can’t be an asshole, but you can. You can easily look this shit up, but for someone to ask, “How old are you? When did you get started?” What, you don’t know what Google is? I try to make it nice. I really don’t want to seem like an asshole, but come on, guys.

It’s my understanding you’re borderline obsessed with the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Now we’re hearing a full report on the disappearance has been suspended. It may have been acceptable in 1492 to say, “Well, we lost a boat,” but in 2018, I seriously

Honestly, I think it’s as hilarious as it is sad. Thanks. My favorite is “What’s the difference between male and female comics?” Who asks this question? Then someone will ask, “Why do you think it’s more difficult to be a female comedian?” I say, “Because you keep bringing it up.”

Growing up around the Great Lakes, all I can recall about ice ﬁshing was that you couldn’t go without a lot of beer. But we’re going pretty early. Being a triedand-true, 100 percent Irish woman, I’ll just have to start with coffee and Bailey’s Irish Cream as a base coat.

Sathre-Vogel uses the champleve technique to ﬁll her etchings with colored enamel.

NANCY SATHRE-VOGEL ETCHES STORIES ONTO JEWELRY Nancy Sathre-Vogel is more than a jewelry maker: She’s an adventurer and a salvager of stories, and over the last 30 years, she has chronicled her journey in her art. For Elegant Antiquity, an exhibit of her jewelry at Art Source Gallery through Saturday, March 31, SathreVogel preserved others’ stories by chemically etching recycled copper and brass necklaces, earrings and bracelets with images from 18thand 19th-century British Library books. “[The library is] encouraging artists to use the images in order to preserve the old art,” Sathre-Vogel said. There are more than a million scanned-in images available online, but prints containing shades of gray can’t be used for etchings, which limits Sathre-Vogel to black and white images with simple lines. Many she chooses are abstract designs or nods to nature, such as drawings of bees, flowers and birds. SathreVogel has long worked with etched metals, adding them to beaded chains, but for her newest pieces, she used champleve (SHAHMP-luh-vay), a technique that allows her to render etchings in bright shades of lavender, turquoise and green, rather than black alone. While every piece is uniquely attractive, together they create a visual library that SathreVogel said reflects on the importance of stories, which she came to appreciate after resettling in Boise. Sathre-Vogel left the city decades ago to teach at international schools; she lived in five different countries, traveled to many more and went “bead hunting” in all of them. The jewelry she made bore the marks of the cultures she traveled through: She worked with turquoise on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico; bone and black coral in Egypt; regional silver in Ethiopia and Chinese antiques in Taiwan. When she and her husband left teaching, they took their twin sons on years-long, multi-country biking trips. During it all, she made jewelry. “All of my pieces have some sort of a history, some sort of a story,” she said. “That story can be anything. It could be where that piece came from or what that piece is, or it could be where I was in my own personal journey as a human being … But there’s always a story. That’s why when I came across these pictures from antique books, I knew that I had to use them.” —Lex Nelson 16 c MARCH 21–27, 2018 c BOISEweekly

The Sturiale Place currently boasts an import gift shop, and will soon reopen its Italian cafe.

HISTORIC BOISE GOES LITTLE ITALY If you happened to be driving down Front Street at just the wrong moment on Nov. 23, 2015, you may have seen The Sturiale Place on the move. When the moon was high, workers loaded the historic Zimmer House onto a flatbed truck and inched it slowly from the Central Addition neighborhood to its new home at the corner of 15th and Jefferson streets. “I paid quite a bit to have it moved,” said Rita Sturiale, the antique enthusiast who bought the house, restored it to glory transitioned it into the import gift shop/Italian cafe it is today. She smiled wryly at the understatement. As Rita and her daughter, Gina Sturiale, tell it, the restoration process was both a struggle and a joy, a balance between pouring away money and finding pieces of historic grandeur. Gina’s dream was to open a shop to sell antiques and imported foods from Italy (now open Wednesday afternoons), but she knew she’d need a source of income to support the project: that’s when the idea to turn the rest of the house and garden into an Italian cafe was born. The cafe opened briefly in 2017 with Gina running the front of the house and family friend Nikki Russo at the helm in the kitchen, but the Sturiales said it was never supposed to be sustainable; rather, they were testing the market with Russo’s family recipes. After a positive response, they closed the cafe to finish renovating its tiny kitchen and recruit a professional chef. Now, the search is almost over. “We’re interviewing chefs right now, and two of them we like a lot,” Rita said, “...It looks like we just might be able to have a decision made by next week.” The pair aims to open the cafe in May, and Rita’s vision is simple: She wants to serve lunch and deli items four days a week, along with occasional dinners, wine tastings and teas, and hopes for a small menu stacked with classic Italian dishes alongside seasonal chef specials. “The chef will have a lot of room for growth, for his own creativity and his own passion,” Gina said. The mother-daughter team hopes this freedom, along with the opportunity to work limited hours, will woo an experienced chef from a busy restaurant who will work with a few staff members in the cafe’s kitchen, a small space converted from a pair of bedrooms. “This is what I love, and I want someone in here to be able to do what they love,” Rita said. “Then it will really be magic.” – Lex Nelson 18 c MARCH 21–27, 2018 c BOISEweekly

FOOD/NEWS NEW KOREAN RESTAURANT SERVES UP HEAPING PORTIONS IN MERIDIAN Walking into Cupbop, the fast-serve Korean restaurant that opened last December at the intersection of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road in Meridian, is a bit of an assault on the senses: The pop of bright yellow walls, ring of shouted orders and sweet smell of barbecued beef combine explosively. During the height of the lunch hour, a line of chattering customers waiting to order at the counter can stretch halfway to the door, but the double-whammy of a concise menu and pre-made ingredients means the line ticks through like clockwork. The Salt Lake City-based chain serves up “cups”—which are really more like bowls—piled with rice, a choice of cabbage or lettuce, sweet potato noodles and Korean-style barbecued meats including chicken, beef and pork. Vegetarians have the option to order a meatless Noodle Bop piled high with extra noodles or a Doochi Bop topped with kimchi and stir fried tofu. After each cup is heaped to the brim, it’s shufﬂed down the counter to the sauce station, where customers can choose a spice level from one to 10. Each number translates to a different combination of sauces, which include lime margarita, sriracha aioli, teriyaki bulgogi, plain sriracha and the

secret to a level 10: fire sauce. Most spice levels feature a combination of sauces: a level four is topped off with a drizzle of sriracha aioli, a healthy dose of lime margarita, a squeeze of teriyaki bulgogi and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The only side dish on the menu, a trio of deep-fried pork dumplings called Mandoo, also comes drizzled with sauce—and if you tip, the staff will “tip you back” by throwing a few extra on the pile. Easily the most interesting thing about the food at Cupbop is the interplay of sauces; the tang of lime, sweetness of teriyaki and creamy spice of sriracha aioli balance differently bite to bite. When stirred into the Noodle Bop, though, they’re reduced to a single note, with the smooth sweetness of the noodles beating down the more complex flavors. A better bet is the beef and spicy pork Combo Bop, which features a bigger umami hit and meat that manages to hold its own against the sauce melee. The Mandoo, doused in sticky-sweet teriyaki and served up on a bed of cabbage, contrasts with the heavy creaminess of the noodles. For those in search of something quick, filling and out of the burgersand-brews Boise norm, Cupbop fits the bill. —Lex Nelson BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PAGE BREAK MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH ORAL OBJECTION DEAR MINERVA, My girlfriend is great and a lot of fun to be around. Naughty time is also great, except for one part of it: She’s very enthusiastic about performing oral sex, but she just isn’t doing it right for me. It is terrible. It is uncomfortable, and I don’t know what to do about it. I don’t want to hurt her feelings or change how enthusiastic she is about our sex life. What would you suggest? Sincerely, Oral Objection

DEAR OBJECTION, Putting into words a critique of your lover’s performance can be a real mouthful. I believe wholeheartedly that your lady friend would want to know how she can best “address the court,” just as I am sure you would want to know just how she likes it. As Ella Fitzgerald reminds us, “T’aint what you say / It’s the way that you say it!” I suggest anyone approach the issue with their partner as an opportunity for sexploration. Trying new things stokes the ﬂames of passion, so approaching it constructively and gently will be the key to letting her know that you appreciate her and her enthusiasm. Letting her know you also wish to maximize her pleasure is important, as well. Everyone’s body receives pleasure in different ways. What may have been mindblowing for a former beau is not necessarily true with your body. Even simply saying, “What if you try it this way?” could be a gentle enough way to help guide her. In no time, she’ll be “tellin’ it to the judge” most eloquently. SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/MinervasBreakdown or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous.

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “School of Hard Knocks” is an old-fashioned idiom referring to the unofficial course of study available via life’s tough experiences. The wisdom one gains through this alternate approach to education may be equal or even superior to the knowledge that comes from a formal university or training program. I mention this, Aries, because in accordance with astrological omens, I want to confer upon you a diploma for your new advanced degree from the School of Hard Knocks. (P.S. When PhD students get their degrees from Finland’s University of Helsinki, they are given top hats and swords as well as diplomas. I suggest you reward yourself with exotic props, too.) TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Europeans used to think all swans were white. It was a reasonable certainty given that all swans in Europe were that color. But in 1697, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh and his sailors made a pioneering foray to the southwestern coast of the land we now call Australia. As they sailed up a river, they spied black swans. They were shocked. The anomalous creatures invalidated an assumption based on centuries of observations. Today, a “black swan” is a metaphor referring to an unexpected event that contravenes prevailing theories about the way

BY ROB BREZSNY

the world works. I suspect you’ll soon experience such an incongruity yourself. It might be a good thing! Especially if you welcome instead of resist it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Crayola is one of the world’s foremost crayon manufacturers. The geniuses in charge of naming its crayon colors are playful and imaginative. Among the standard offerings, for example, are Pink Sherbet, Carnation Pink, Tickle Me Pink, Piggy Pink, Pink Flamingo and Shocking Pink. However, there is no color simply called “Pink.” I find that disturbing. As much as I love extravagant creativity and poetic whimsy, I think it’s also important to cherish and nurture the basics. In accordance with the astrological omens, that’s my advice for you in the coming weeks. Experiment with fanciful fun but not at the expense of the fundamentals. CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to Vice, Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov is pleased with the experiment he tried. He injected himself with 3.5-million-year-old bacteria that his colleagues dug out of the permafrost in Siberia. The infusion of this ancient life form, he says, enhanced his energy and strengthened his immune system. I can’t vouch for the veracity of his claim, but I do know it’s an

apt metaphor for possibilities you could take advantage of in the near future: drawing on an old resource to boost your power, or calling on a well-preserved part of the past to supercharge the present. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Booze has played a crucial role in the development of civilization, says biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern. The process of creating this mind-altering staple was independently discovered by many different cultures, and the buzz it provides has “fired our creativity and fostered the development of language, the arts, and religion.” On the downside, excessive consumption has led to millions of bad decisions and wrecked lives. Everything I just said is a preface to my main message, Leo: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to transform your habitual perspective, but only if you do so safely and constructively. Whether you choose intoxicants, wild adventures or edgy experiments, know your limits. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be favorable for making agreements, pondering mergers and strengthening bonds. You’ll be wise to deepen at least one of your commitments. You’ll stir up interesting challenges if you consider the possibility of entering

into more disciplined and dynamic unions with worthy partners. Do you trust your own perceptions and insights to guide you toward everhealthier alliances? Do what you must to muster that trust. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you want people to know who you really are and savor you for your unique beauty, you must be honest with those people. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. There’s a similar principle at work if you want to know who you really are and savor yourself for your unique beauty: You must be honest with yourself. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to practice these high arts. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your journey in the coming weeks may be as weird as an R-rated telenovela, but with more class. Outlandish, unpredictable and even surreal events could occur, but they promise to uplift and educate your soul. Labyrinthine plot twists will be medicinal as well as entertaining. As the drama gets curioser and curioser, dear Scorpio, you will learn how to capitalize on the odd opportunities it brings. In the end, you will be grateful for this ennobling respite from mundane reality!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence,” wrote philosopher Erich Fromm. I would add a corollary for your rigorous use during the last nine months of 2018: “Love is the only effective and practical way to graduate from your ragged, long-running dilemmas and start gathering a new crop of fresh, rousing challenges.” By the way, Fromm said love is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling in our hearts. It’s a creative force that fuels our willpower and unlocks hidden resources. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My goal here is to convince you to embark on an orgy of self-care—to be as sweet and tender and nurturing to yourself as you dare to be. If that influences you to go too far in providing yourself with luxurious necessities, I’m OK with it. And if your solicitous efforts to focus on your own health and well-being make you appear a bit self-indulgent or narcissistic, I think it’s an acceptable price to pay. Here are more key themes for you in the coming weeks: basking in the glow of self-love; exulting in the perks of your sanctuary; honoring the vulnerabilities that make you interesting. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One day, Beatles’ guitarist George

Harrison decided to compose his next song’s lyrics “based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book.” He viewed this as a quest to incorporate the flow of coincidence into his creative process. The words he found in the first book were “gently weeps.” They became the seed for his tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Rolling Stone magazine ultimately named it one of “The Greatest Songs of All Time” and the tenth best Beatle song. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend you try some divinatory experiments of your own in the coming weeks. Use life’s fun little synchronicities to generate playful clues and unexpected guidance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Millions of you Pisceans live in a fairy tale world. But I suspect that very few of you will be able to read this horoscope and remain completely ensconced in your fairy tale world. That’s because I have embedded subliminal codes in these words that will at least temporarily transform even the dreamiest among you into passionate pragmatists in service to your feistiest ideals. If you’ve read this far, you are already feeling more disciplined and organized. Soon you’ll be coming up with new schemes about how to actually materialize a favorite fairy tale in the form of real-life experiences.
