EDITOR’S NOTE THANK YOU AND GOOD READING First of all, a big thank-you is in order to all of you, our dear readers. The Big Le Boise block party on June 2 was a resounding success, with more than 2,000 people filling Broad Street outside of BWHQ to celebrate the 2018 Best of Boise winners and enjoy live music (thanks Lounge on Fire!), dance performances, vendor booths, food trucks, Crater Lake Vodka drinks and more—it was as great as we could have hoped for, and we can’t wait to do it all again! Thanks to your generous drink purchases, we’ll also donate nearly $1,500 of our profits to the Women’s and Children’s Alliance to help them support some of Boise’s most vulnerable citizens, which is a win-win-win. If you missed the party this year, be sure to keep an eye out for the 2019 edition next summer. Now, as for the paper you’re holding, we have an arts and recreation-packed issue for you to peruse this week. For the main news story, Senior Staff Writer Harrison Berry tracked down organizers and Boise Police officers to take you behind the scenes of the upcoming X Games Qualifier, and even give you a sneak peak of Pride festivities, both of which will hit Boise streets next weekend. Find that story and a full X Games schedule on pages 6 and 7. To keep the active ball rolling, freelancer Brian Millar explores the Boise tango scene in advance of the first-ever Tree City Tango festival on page 22, and for the musically inclined, Derek Kaplan lays out his interview with a member of The Doobie Brothers in advance of their Saturday, June 9, concert with Steely Dan on page 19. Plus, freelancer Skylar Barsanti takes you into the wine world on page 20 with an introduction to the sommelier-led “guided tastings” now available at City Center Wines. Then on page 23, resident film buff and News Editor George Prentice takes a dive into Saoirse Ronan’s new film, On Chesil Beach, which will open Friday, June 8, at The Flicks, and gives a preview of the i48 film festival, which he calls both one of Boise’s most successful and one of its most insane film forays. If that’s still not enough arts coverage for you, you can also find an interview with the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s leads for Macbeth, which is currently running in repertory, on page 21. Thanks again, and happy reading! —Lex Nelson, Staff Writer

Garden City will join Boise in keeping plastics out of the landfill.
Boise will go big on its second X Games qualifying event HARRISON BERRY
GARDEN CITY TO PARTNER WITH BOISE ON PLASTICS PROGRAM When China announced in 2017 that it would no longer accept recycled plastics from U.S. cities beginning January 1, 2018, officials at the City of Boise Department of Public Works were determined to keep the city’s plastics out of the county landfill. While many other American cities are still in the lurch of the plastics problem, Boise started rolling out its “orange bag” solution to city residences this spring. Boise is teaming with Republic Services and Salt Lake City-based Renewlogy to repurpose hard-to-recycle plastics into commercialgrade diesel fuel. The process begins with orange Hefty EnergyBags, which are still being distributed to Boise households. To help with some of the costs, Boise received a $50,000 grant from Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics and the Keep America Beautiful initiative. The city agreed to absorb the rest of the program cost, saying no additional fees would be assessed to Boise residents, at least for the time being. All the while, most Treasure Valley communities remained on the sidelines. For instance, Meridian officials told Boise Weekly in January that they saw the Boise effort as a “pilot program,” adding, “We want to make sure something like that is going to work for other communities.” But at Garden City City Hall, officials were already in conversation with their Boise counterparts about a possible partnership. “The talks are very preliminary,” Boise Public Works director Steve Burgos told BW in March. “But yes, we can tell you that Garden City is very interested in the orange bag program. We’re working on a possible agreement.” Possible became official on June 5, when a formal Memorandum of Understanding was put before the Boise City Council which adds Garden City to the Hefty EnergyBag program. The six-page MOU indicates the agreement will run for a minimum of two years and Garden City will cover all of its associated program costs, beginning with $21,480 for 3,000 packages (each containing 26 of the orange bags), which will soon be distributed to Garden City residents. —George Prentice 6 | JUNE 6–12, 2018 | BOISEweekly
When the City of Boise first announced it would host an X Games qualifying event in December of 2016, it was huge news. For years, the ESPN-produced event had been the equivalent of the Olympics for extreme and alternative sports. Its arrival in Boise was seen by many as a qualifier of its own for the City of Trees. “Once [ESPN] came and looked around, they were immediately drawn to Boise’s unique character,” said City of Boise spokesman Mike Journee. The attraction went both ways. Boise had— and continues to have—an active, outdoorsy culture and atmosphere that ESPN believed was a perfect fit for its qualifying event, and Journee said the city loved the idea of projecting that atmosphere to a national audience. In June of 2017, Boise hosted its first X Games event, and soon thereafter announced it had inked a deal with ESPN for a second, which will take place Friday-Saturday, June 15-16. In its second year, Boise fans will immediately notice some changes and additions. Chief among them is Harley Hooligan Racing, a Harley Davidson-sponsored flat track motorcycle event that will go down at CenturyLink Arena on Saturday from 2-9 p.m. It will be concurrent with the familiar men’s and women’s skateboard park elimination competitions at Rhodes Skate Park, but even there, the City of Boise has made tweaks to improve the attendee experience. These include a youth-oriented activities center, a Family Fun Zone, an increase in seating from 300 seats to 500 seats, a concert series and more options for food and merchandise. “It was just sharpening up how we do the event within the event. That comes down to continuing to add more features … [We want] to keep people around for a few hours, and in order to do that, you need a good selection of booths where they can buy product and eat and engage in healthy activities,” said Parks & Recreation Director Doug Holloway, whose department was the point of contact between the city and ESPN. Behind the scenes, one of the major differences in this year’s qualifier will be security. In addition to some private security, Boise Police will maintain a 14-officer presence, not
Talks are already underway for a 2019 X Games qualifier in Boise.
including three to four supervisors at Rhodes Skate Park alone. The zone BPD will cover will also be significantly larger than in 2017, as it will span both Rhodes Skate Park and CenturyLink Arena—where five officers will patrol—and an additional six to 10 officers will keep watch over the Boise Pride Festival, which will overlap with the qualifier for the first time this year. Boise Police Captain Paul Birch said the three events have been blocked into a public safety program run from a single command center. “We handle all these special events permits the same,” Birch said. “I have two locations I have to manage and provide safety for; we also have all the events and festivities going on around the Pride Parade Friday and Saturday. We’re treating them as one event.” That’s a lot of officers, and the City of Boise is already putting up some amenities for ESPN staff and athletes, but the payoff is significant for local businesses. According to Carrie Westergard of the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau, day attendance at the 2017 X Games in Boise was estimated at 7,000 people. Its total economic benefit was calculated at $1.5 million, but Westergard said that estimate is “on the conservative side.” Likely, there were spectators not accounted for because they stayed in Boise via vacation rental programs like Airbnb rather than in hotel rooms. This year, Westergard said the economic bump will be higher, nearly double what local businesses took in last year, and offered a casual estimate of a “north-of-$2 million” economic benefit.
Westergard said she believes much of the economic difference between this year and last year will come from the Harley Hooligan Racing event. In the lead-up to announcing the new addition, the City of Boise and ESPN toured CenturyLink Arena to see how the venue would deal with motorcycle exhaust, crowds, road closures and more. “There was a lot of consideration that had to take place. Really, visually, they just had to get their eyes on what it was going to look like and all the logistics there,” Westergard said. ESPN liked what it saw—so much so that it rescheduled the entire slate of events from the first weekend in June 2018 to the second weekend in order to book CenturyLink for the motorcycle race, according to ESPN Event Development & Marketing Director Ryan McGuinness. X Games has held similar events with Harley Davidson in Minneapolis during X Games finals, but the Harley Hooligan Race will be the first event of its kind in a city hosting a qualifier. McGuinness confirmed talks are already underway for a 2019 event, and left open the possibility of adding events to the Boise qualifier in the future. “We’re always looking to add to our events. Last year was the first year we did this. We’re hoping to grow from there. The Harley Hooligan event is a perfect example of that, but Boise has so much to offer in terms of mountain biking and [the whitewater park],” he said. “There’s so much to the outdoor lifestyle—Boise’s got it all.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Dr. Martin Schimpf (above) has been on the Boise State faculty since 1990.
SCHIMPF TO BECOME INTERIM BOISE STATE PRESIDENT
KEL SE Y HAWES
The Idaho State Board of Education voted June 1 to appoint Dr. Martin Schimpf as interim president at Boise State University, effective Sunday, July 1. He’ll replace Dr. Bob Kustra, who will retire at the end of this month after 15 years of leading Idaho’s largest public university. Schimpf joined the faculty at Boise State in 1990 and has served in various roles, most recently as Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, a position he has held since 2010. Prior to that, he was chair of the Chemistry Department and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Schimpf holds degrees in chemistry from the University of Washington and the University of Utah. His yearly salary while serving as interim president will be $390,860. “On behalf of the Board, I thank [Schimpf] for delaying his planned return to faculty and assuming this vital role while we look for a new president for Boise State,” said Board President Dr. Linda Clark in an official announcement. Meanwhile, the State Board has the bigger task ahead in finding a permanent replacement for Kustra. After flying in three previous candidates and conducting inperson interviews, board officials indicated that they weren’t satisfied with their first attempt at finding Kustra’s successor. In fact, a number of search committee members were critical of AGB Search, the company the board initially hired to conduct the hunt. To date, the Board of Education has paid AGB $70,800 for the still-unsuccessful quest: $58,000 in search fees and $12,800 in other expenses. Boise State incurred an additional $30,000 in expenses for transportation and housing costs for the first round of interviewees. While an entirely new search is expected to resume this fall, Clark did not indicate at the June 1 board meeting whether the board would would contract with a new search firm. “It’s a competitive process,” is all Clark said on the issue. —George Prentice

A KID’S GUIDE TO BOISE BOOK LAUNCH
GINGERFEST V
SUMMERY MARKET
Rediscovered Books last made news in late March when it purchased fellow local bookshop Rainbow Books on State Street. Now, the retailer is stepping out of the mold in yet another way, launching its own publishing company, Rediscovered Publishing, which will celebrate the release of its first book, A Kids Guide to Boise by Rick Just, this week. Rediscovered calls the book “a complete guide for what to do, where to go, [and] what to eat all around Boise for kids and their parents,” and it’s easy to see it becoming a staple for the youngest Boiseans. On First Thursday, Rediscovered will officially launch the book (which is already available on shelves) with a party at its Eighth Street store in downtown Boise complete with a book signing and Basque Market treats. 7 p.m., FREE. Rediscovered Bookshop, 180 N. Eighth St., 208-376-4229, rdbooks.org.
According to USA Today, only 2 percent of the world’s population has red hair—so if you count yourself among that lucky number, it’s definitely a trait worth celebrating. Whether you love or hate your flaming locks on a daily basis, the Old Idaho Penitentiary is once again putting them front and center with the fifth edition of its annual Gingerfest, a daylong party celebrating all things red and redhead. The event boasts everything from a live performance from local rockers Red Light Challenge to a strawberry shortcake walk, cherry pit spit and all-ages “Best Ginger” contests. Plus, food trucks will be on site serving up food, and Mad Swede will pour beer and wine. 6-10 p.m., $4-$7.

Like its end-of-year counterpart, the Summery Market will set up shop at Jack’s Urban Meeting Place and open its doors to the public for free. More than 70 vendors of local and handmade items will be featured, including jewelry, textiles, home decor, pottery, art, beauty products and snacks at spots like Spoonthumb Ice Cream, Wanna Matcha and more.

What locals may not have on their radars is that the group has also released two full-length albums (This Side of Paradise in 2016, and This Way to the Egress in 2017), which served as enough of an entree onto the local music scene to earn it an invitation to open this year’s season of Alive After Five, the Downtown Boise Association-sponsored summer concert series in Grove Plaza. LED co-founder Andrew Stensaas leads the rock group, backed by Angel Abaya, Matthew Fabbi, John Fricke, Michael Mitchell and Chris Norred.

In their rise to fame, the four core members of the Jersey Boys—Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi and frontman Frankie Valli—struggled with everything from personal differences to mob bosses and gambling debts. The production puts those dramas and the group’s best-known songs, “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” among them, center stage for a musical performance that will take Boise audiences from the Gem State to the Garden State.

ROCKIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO BOISE
A Doobie Brothers cofounder talks tea, motorcycles and rock n’ roll royalty DEREK K APL AN When you think about hitting the open road, The Doobie Brothers are one of those bands that springs to mind for a satisfying highway soundtrack. The group’s classic rock repertoire has sold over 48 million albums and garnered it four Grammy awards. Yet through it all, its members are still a humble band of brothers at heart. “After almost 50 years of doing it, we want to make sure that people come away saying we put out as great a show as ever,” said Doobies cofounder Patrick Simmons. Prior to the group’s Saturday, June 9, appearance at Taco Bell Arena, where it will share the stage with Steely Dan, Simmons took a minute to talk about putting together a rock n’ roll bill for the ages. Does being on stage still have the same effect as it did almost five decades ago? You mean getting really sweaty and tired? The older you get, the more familiar you are with the material, and, hopefully, you learned a few things along the way. How did this sort of luminary double bill [with Steely Dan] come about? Since we’re both signed to the same management company, that’s in many ways how it started. We have such a history with those guys. We played a ton of shows with them in the early ‘70s and spent time hanging out in hotel rooms after gigs, drinking beer...being crazy kids. The Doobies have performed in Boise often through the years. Is there anything special about playing to the crowds here? I love playing in the Northwest. It’s such a beautiful part of the country. The proximity means something to me—in terms of feeling like I’m closer to my roots. It’s just the beauty of the place and the spirit of the people. There’s something magical about that part of the country.
BOISE WEEKLY.COM
The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan will perform at Taco Bell Arena on Saturday, June 9.
Are you recording any new material, possibly for a new album? We have about five tunes we’re working on, four of them are pretty well fleshed-out. I have a feeling that we’ll end up releasing a song or two even before we’re finished, just for the fun of it. Is there anybody in mainstream music today that galvanizes you into turning up the dial? Well, I love Amos Lee—I really dig his stuff. Adele, I love what she does. Train, I like for a band. My favorite contemporary artist is Tommy Emmanuel. I’m still a guitar guy at heart. What was the first album you purchased with your own money? I remember my first 45 [rpm] I ever bought was called Lover Please by Clyde McPhatter. I listened to Elvis and The Everly Brothers, Little Richard. Would you mind disclosing what’s on your tour rider—your provisions for the road? Organic—that’s something I’m always looking for. Healthier snacks, more vegetables than meat. Back in the day, I couldn’t care less. I think we were happy to have anything to eat or drink. Is there a meditative process that you like to get into before playing shows? You always go a little bit internal, and think about what’s coming up. You can rehearse with the band, but there’s always going to be those parts you have to get on your own. I do warm up vocally, to hit the notes, before I get out there. That’s something I’ve been doing a long time.
What about warming up in the old days, was that any different? Back in the day, I’d do about six shots of Jose Cuervo, about a gram of blow, a couple of joints. [Now] I just drink some hot tea. Have all the band members basically learned their lessons in life by now? Well, I don’t know if I’d go that far. It’s definitely changed a lot. We were maniacs in the early days. Now, it’s much more sane and we take much better care of ourselves. The Doobies have sort of a biker heritage, and that especially goes for you. I heard you even rode in the Motorcycle Cannonball last year. That’s coming up again in September. My wife and I are gonna do another one—Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, this year. She’s riding her 1915 Harley and I’m riding my 1928 Harley. It seems like you’ve led a very enriching life, and been such a part of rock n’ roll royalty. Any regrets? I don’t know about the royalty part, but I am totally satisfied. I’ve felt really great about my life and I can’t think of any regrets I have right now. The Doobies are still so relevant in music to this day. It has to be pretty sublime to think about, and know that you’re all a part of something so timeless. It makes you feel like you’ve done something right. It’s a privilege to be doing what we’re doing. I can speak for the rest of the band in that regard—I know everybody feels that same way.

WINESIPPER SAVORING SAUVIGNON BLANC
2016 BRANDER SAUVIGNON BLANC, $17.99 The nose is an elegant and complex combination of dusty melon, stone fruit, tangerine and crisp citrus. A well-structured, beautifully balanced wine, it offers ripe fruit flavors with just the right hit of acidity. You get creamy mandarin orange, apricot and citrus, with an intriguing hint of caramel on the long finish. A classic example of California Sauvignon Blanc. 2016 MOUNT NELSON SAUVIGNON BLANC, $14.99 A slightly different take on that Kiwi model, you get some of the expected grapefruit and pineapple on the nose, but it’s matched by lively stone fruit and light herbes de Provence. There is more of the same on the supple palate, along with racy citrus and a touch of white pepper. This would definitely appeal to a wide variety of Sauvignon Blanc lovers. 2017 WHITEHAVEN WINEMAKER’S SELECT SAUVIGNON BLANC, $15.99 The nose is filled with the typical bright grapefruit and gooseberry aromas, but with none of that characteristic kitty litter quality you either love or hate. Ripe grapefruit carries through on the palate as well in this fruit-forward white. Crisp acidity marks the tangy finish along with hints of spicy Anaheim pepper and mineral. —David Kirkpatrick 20 | JUNE 6–12, 2018 | BOISEweekly

SK YL AR BARSANTI
Spring and Sauvignon Blanc just seem to go together. The wine is crisp, clean and aromatic, just the thing to pair with the lighter fare of the season. Full disclosure: While it is the grape that put New Zealand wines on the map, I’m generally not a fan of the in-your-face Kiwi style. That said, New Zealand kicked it in this tasting, with only one wine, a California entry, scoring better. Here are the top three:
UNCORK ‘THE SPIRIT OF PLACE’
City Center Wines expands palettes with first guided tasting SK YL AR BARSANTI Local sommelier Joseph DiGrigoli came to love wine while working in fine dining restaurants in San Francisco and New York. Prestigious, yes, but the environment wasn’t always conducive to connecting with patrons and helping them find a great-tasting bottle. “When you work in that job, it’s about meeting customers in the middle. I would want to recommend something unique, but the job is more about giving the customers what they want,” DiGrigoli said. “Here, it’s a little more free-rein.” “Here” is City Center Wines, the shop at the corner of Sixth and Main streets in downtown Boise. DiGrigoli, a customer and friend of the shop’s sibling owners, David Hansen and Linda Lloyd hosted its first guided wine tasting, “The Spirit of Place” in May. On a Tuesday night, the shop was packed with guests for the first tasting. Some were regulars, others were first-time visitors. All were prepared to expand their palettes and experience what this intimate Boise locale had to offer. City Center Wines has called its spot between the Travel Centre and Wiseguy Pizza Pie home since November 2016. It’s easy to miss, but Hansen and Lloyd are hoping “The Spirit of Place” can change that. “There are people who would love our shop, but they don’t know we’re here yet,” Hansen said. Since they opened, Hansen and Lloyd have lined their shelves with an eclectic collection of wines from around the world. Walking in, it’s easy to see their selection is wide, but it never feels overwhelming. That’s because Hansen and Lloyd aren’t just picking bottles to sell at random: They’re working to share the philosophy that each bottle reflects the spirit of where it was made and the people who made it. “We knew we wanted to start a business with products on the shelf we weren’t seeing in Boise,” Hansen said. “We’re attracted to smaller, family-owned estates, where there’s a lot of human contact, hand-picked grapes and clean wine.” Selection aside, Hansen and Lloyd know they’re not the only wine shop in town, so creating a great experience is one of their top priorities. Human contact and personal relationships are as

important to the shop as they are to each bottle Hansen and Lloyd bring in. They make a conscious effort to choose producers who care about the natural process of wine-making. “We try to avoid what we call ‘recipe’ wines, where the wine tastes the same, vintage after vintage,” Hansen said. “That’s simply not possible, because wine is an agricultural product.” City Center Wines welcomes customers to taste-test that point of view. “The Spirit of Place” encourages wine lovers to ditch their comfort zones and sample underrated producers. “Knowing how a wine is made is secondary to finding something that tastes delicious and sharing it with people,” DiGrigoli said. “Anyone with a vineyard can make a bottle of ‘Two Buck Chuck’-style wine. It’s not hard. To me, it’s much more interesting to taste wines that are different and flawed.” Speaking quickly and enthusiastically, DiGrigoli opened the event with a L’Hereu sparkling wine from a Spanish producer whose family has been farming the same land since 1497. From there, guests sampled a semi-dry white from Vouvray, France, a young orange wine (a wholegrape style of white) from southeast Sicily and an Austrian red Zweigelt. The night concluded with a Spanish red from Lopez de Heredia, a producer that releases wines only when they’re ready. The entry-level bottle was a decade old, and it was Heredia’s latest offering. Throughout the night, DiGrigoli smelled, swirled and profiled each glass of what he called “tasty, tasty juice.” He only paused to acknowledge what guests experienced. Whether it was hints of apple or notes of oak and peppered salami, every answer was worth exploring. “We didn’t special order the tasting selection for the event,” DiGrigoli said. “You can get [the wines] any time. Each was a bottle David and
I genuinely love, and that’s why places like this mean so much to me. They build a community of people who are drinking interesting wine and allowing it to flourish where it’s least expected.” Both City Center Wines and, on a smaller scale, “The Spirit of Place,” present Boiseans with opportunities to experiment and explore new flavor profiles without putting off anyone who isn’t as knowledgeable about the product. “I don’t ever want to browbeat people,” DiGrigoli said. “If I recommend something at an event like this, I’m saying ‘I like this, and I hope you do too. If you don’t, that’s fine.’ What matters, at the heart, is people trying to make something that can be mysterious cool and fun.” Hansen added, “Most people know more about wine than they give themselves credit for. Whether you know a lot about wine or not, you’re already an expert in what you like and don’t like. Once we get a sense of that, we can guide you to something similar. We might even help you push your boundaries.” Hansen and Lloyd are conscientious shop owners, but they know there’s still a lot to learn. Since opening their City Center Wines, they’ve found the wine world is bigger than they realized, and Boise is carving out its own place in it. “Boise is right on the cusp of having a really cool wine scene,” DiGrigoli said. “Is it Portland? Is it New York? No. But can it be really, really cool? I think it can, and I think these guys are at the center.” City Center Wines is located at 574 W. Main Street. They’re open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. The next “Spirit of Place” events (Tuesday, June 12, and Tuesday, June 26, at 6 p.m.) will guide guests through a taste of Italy. Admission is $20 per person and space is limited, so stop by to reserve your seat or call David and Linda at 208972-3385. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
CITIZEN LYNN ROBERT BERG AND ERIN PARTIN ‘Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow’ with Idaho Shakespeare’s Lord and Lady Macbeth GEORGE PRENTICE
Lady Macbeth reminds us, “What’s done cannot be undone.” Indeed, much is done in Macbeth, one of theater’s greatest tragedies, returning this summer to the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. Macbeth opened June 2 and will run in repertory, along with Misery, through much of the month. In advance of its start, Boise Weekly sat down with Idaho Shakespeare Festival veterans Lynn Robert Berg (Macbeth) and Erin Partin (Lady Macbeth), who co-star in “The Scottish Play” in Boise until Saturday, June 23, when they’ll transfer the production to their sister company, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, and continue to perform it through the end of August. Where do you start with Macbeth? A deep dive into Scottish history, or the text itself? Berg: You have to work on this play as if it’s never been seen before. There’s an assumption that, “Oh, everybody knows Macbeth.” There are a good many people who have seen it and maybe just never got it. I met a guy last night who told me that he had never seen Macbeth.
Partin: Most people might know the CliffsNotes version: “Oh, that’s the couple that kill everybody.” But there’s so much richness and so many surprises when we really dig into the entirety of the story. I think it’s one of Shakespeare’s easiest plots because there are no subplots. How have you deconstructed Lady Macbeth? Partin: My Lady Macbeth has quite a bit of power, and their marriage is very good until it’s not. They’re a couple who believes in each other and knows what they want. Berg: And Macbeth is a hero when we first meet him. He has just saved the country from certain doom from invaders, within and without. But power and personal gain has been out of reach for him until he’s presented with a prophecy from the witches who tell him, “You can have this.” And he pretty quickly recognizes that, “If I want this, I have to do terrible things to get it.” As the play goes on, that villainy is easier and easier, until he’s so steeped in blood that he can wade no more.
Lynn Robert Berg and Erin Partin will perform Macbeth in repertory at Idaho Shakespeare Festival through Saturday, June 23.

It’s important to note that your director, Charlie Fee, has chosen a very historical production, similar to last year’s production of Hamlet. In his production notes, he writes, “With both Hamlet and Macbeth, we have taken a pause from contemporary references. No cellphones, video screens or contemporary music. We hope you enjoy this radical idea.” Partin: It’s a beautiful set, reminiscent of the Old Globe. Plus, there’s a lot of candlelight, and there are people, once again, seated on stage with us. Berg: It actually highlights the theatricality of the evening. It’s really exciting in that it doesn’t create a distance or separation from the audience. Think of Game of Thrones, with all of its costuming and fantasy. Yet these themes are timeless. Macbeth is the same way. Shakespeare was truly great at pinpointing the human condition so beautifully, so expressively. There are parts of the play that feel as if they were written yesterday. Much has been written about the superstition surrounding Macbeth. We’ve heard that you’re not supposed to mention the name of the play backstage. Partin: When you’re working on it, you can say it as often as you like. If you’re working on any other play, you’re not supposed to say the name of this play. Berg: I defer to Patrick Stewart who said, “If you’ve played it, you can say it any time you want.” Otherwise, it’s also called McB or Mr. M. Partin: Or Mackers. Berg: Or The Scottish Play.

Can you speak to how you condition yourselves to perform in dessert air and relatively high altitude? Partin: I have to make sure to hydrate throughout the day. I usually start hiking to build up my endurance. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Berg: The first day I got back to Boise, I went for a run so that I could start getting my lungs ready for this dry climate. It’s important for me to find a way to get my breath under me so that my instrument is relaxed. If I don’t get my breath under me, I can’t be free out there on stage. Erin, where is home for you? Partin: Delaware. That’s where I live with my husband—he’s also an actor—and our daughter. They’ll actually be coming here and joining me in Tahoe for some time as well. Reunited and it feels so good. Berg: Just like the song. Lynn, you don’t have to look too far to see your wife. Quite often, you’re sharing the same stage [Laura Welsh Berg has also performed in multiple productions at ISF]. Berg: We work together all the time, and we just celebrated 10 years of marriage. That’s pretty amazing. I don’t know a lot of people who work with their spouse all the time. With great success. Berg: Yes, it’s pretty wild. And Boise is home for you. Berg: I grew up here and I’m a proud graduate of Boise State. Do you have a sense of how many professional shows you’ve performed in? Berg: In 20 years, I’ve had over 105 openings. And Erin, you’ve graced the ISF stage on multiple occasions, most recently as Ophelia in last year’s Hamlet. Partin: I remember last year, there was a huge gust of wind, followed by rain. And we had to shout to be heard. But that audience stuck with us. By Act 2, it cleared up, the air was perfectly crisp, and you could hear every word, every sigh. I find Idaho to have some of the loveliest audiences. Berg: Absolutely. I couldn’t agree more. BOISEweekly | JUNE 6–12, 2018 | 21
ARTS & CULTURE
BRIAN MILL AR
COURTESY E AGLE PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL
ARTS NEWS
Local artist Anne Watson Sorensen participated in the 2017 Eagle Plein Air Festival.
ART ON THE ISLAND BRINGS PLEIN AIR SPEED PAINTING TO EAGLE Plein air painting—the art of painting landscapes and other subjects outdoors in the open air—is a tradition as old as painting itself. Still, it didn’t have an Idaho bastion until Meg Glasgow, owner of the frame shop/gallery Finer Frames in Eagle, started the Eagle Plein Air Festival & Competition in 2015, bringing artists to Idaho from across the country to compete. This year, the festival is pioneering a new event, Art on the Island, that will challenge 70 painters to a 90-minute “quick draw” competition in Eagle Island State Park on Thursday, June 7, followed by an auction of their work. “We held a similar event out at 3 Horse Ranch [Vineyards &] Winery last year, but it was a remote location and it was too small, and [the event] was really growing,” said Glasgow. “We’ve loved the partnership with the state park, and the facility is beautiful and it’s well-suited to an outdoor concert venue and painters, as well.” The quick draw will take place inside the park, which is located just off State Highway 44 in Eagle between two branches of the Boise River. The usual park fee of $5 per vehicle will be required alongside a $35 ticket to give guests access to the festivities. Over the course of the evening, a stage set up near the main parking area will host jazz musicians including headliners the Van Paepeghem Quartet, and each ticket purchase includes a commemorative wine glass, tastings from local wineries—Sawtooth Winery, Vine 46 Winery and Vizcaya Winery among them—and access to the artists ringing the stage. “While the patrons are relaxing, listening to smooth jazz [and] tasting great Idaho wine, they’re watching these painters complete a painting,” said Glasgow. “As soon as the paintings are finished, the wet paintings will go into a live auction so concert-goers will have the opportunity to purchase the paintings that they just saw being created in front of their eyes.” In addition to food from Kanak Attack and Woodstock Pizza, Meriwether Cider and Powderhaus Brewery will pour drinks in what Glasgow described as a “festival atmosphere.” The action will run from 5-9:30 p.m., and a full schedule of events can be found online at eaglepleinair.com. —Lex Nelson 22 | JUNE 6–12, 2018 | BOISEweekly
Ochos on Idaho Street is one of the most popular spots to dance in downtown Boise.
IT TAKES TWO
Tango Boise encourages local dance culture, pilots Tree City Tango festival BRIAN MILL AR On May 3, tucked away in the Ochos building near the Flying M on Idaho Street, people danced the night away at a “milonga”—a tango dance social, one of many monthly gatherings hosted by Tango Boise. “Milongas are more of a formal tango dance party,” said Tango Boise President Tommy Smith. “There’s usually food and wine, and there are more formal codes. You’re not supposed to teach or ask questions. You dance what you know. It’s for enjoying and not for learning.” Tango Boise is currently gearing up for a big event this summer: the Tree City Tango dance festival, which the group will host FridaySunday, June 8-10. There will be two venues, Ochos on Idaho Street and Trailhead on Eighth Street, and the three-day event will include six milongas, six different DJs and workshops with three pairs of tango instructors who will make the trip to Boise for the festival. Before attending a milonga, it’s tango protocol to attend lessons and “practicas,” informal tango dances. At practicas, dancers can socialize, talk about what they’re learning and practice their steps before venturing into a formal setting. The structure of a milonga can be somewhat loose, depending on the DJ, but it typically starts with a couple of tangos to get dancers warmed up, followed by a “vals,” or tango danced to waltz music. After the vals, there are usually a couple more tangos, and then the milonga officially begins. Once the party starts, it features sets of songs grouped in threes or fours, called “tandas.”
Couples are expected to stick together for a complete tanda before moving on. “Something that’s really unique to tango is that we dance three or four songs together, versus one and then alternating partners,” said Smith.“You use the first song to feel each other out, get connected with each other, and then ramp up the tempo as you go along.” Tandas usually have a theme. Often each of the three songs will be from a similar genre, with a similar tempo and beat. Between each tanda is a “cortina,” a short piece of music that lasts about a minute to let dancers know that the tanda has ended. The cortina is a signal to the dancers to choose new partners before another tanda begins. “We don’t really dance in set figures,” said Smith. “In tango, you’re dancing moment to moment, and improvising in those moments.” Smith fell in love with the dance in 2012 after graduating from Boise State University. For the next two years, he poured all of his energy into tango. When he became an adjunct faculty member teaching mechanical engineering at Boise State, he started a tango club on campus to get students involved. “Something that’s impressive about tango in Boise is the fact that the group is from all different ages,” said David Hertel, a Tango Boise board member and local architect. “Traditionally, tango brings in a little bit of an older crowd … but we have a really vibrant and younger crowd here.” Hertel has been dancing tango in Boise for about 12 years; for the first six, he commuted
in from Ketchum to dance. He describes the local tango scene as a very friendly, nurturing environment. “In Boise, people go out of their way to make others feel welcome and to help people improve their dance,” Hertel said. One couple that will get to experience that vibe during the Tree City Tango festival is Maja Petrovic and Marko Miljevic, who will make their way to Boise from Germany. The pair started dancing together in Croatia, and five years later began teaching lessons. The other featured couples are Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt, and John Miller and Jesica Cutler. Melo is from Argentina and is known for his relaxed classes focused on technique and the energy of tango, while Bratt strengthened her tango skills through frequent trips to Buenos Aires. Miller and Cutler have been dancing together for five years and focus their efforts on teaching college students, aiming to bring the dance to a younger demographic. “I really wanted to sell not just the festival, but also Boise,” said Smith. “I wanted to showcase Boise as a reason to come and visit.” The Ochos building where Tango Boise currently resides is being renovated, and will soon include a wine bar on the ground floor. Smith said the owner of Ochos hopes to have the bar and a new back patio are open by the time of the festival. In the meantime, dancers looking beyond Ochos can find Wednesday lessons at Fort Boise, and Sunday classes at the YMCA and Solid. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

But i48, now in its 14th year, remains Boise’s favorite. It doesn’t hurt that the quality of the short films produced by makeshift film crews improves BOISE WEEKLY.COM
with each passing year. The rules are a bit arcane. Each team is tasked with making a film in 48 hours or less, but the film must include: 1) a line of dialogue, 2) an outlandish prop and 3) a fictional character that the team doesn’t learn about until the moment they begin putting together their movie. All of the
films are screened at The Flicks on Saturday, June 9, and following a rigorous judging process, the best of the fest are showcased and awarded prizes in a gala screening at The Egyptian Theatre on Sunday, June 10.

DEAR MINERVA, PART YA N I M A LVO D K A .C O M
I’m grieving a difficult breakup. I’m feeling completely devastated by the loss of this relationship. He was someone that I had dreamed of meeting and when he confessed his love for me, I was suddenly the happiest person in the world. He travels a great deal with his work and he told me that he had started seeing someone else. I couldn’t accept that so I ended it. Now I’m regretting the decision. Now the world is worse. I don’t know what to do. He was my only strength and now I’m lost. Sincerely, Is Hindsight 20/20?

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN
Boiseans are suckers for two things: Idaho-made products and high-quality booze. While neither has ever really been in short supply in the City of Trees, Sun Valley-based newcomer Party Animal Vodka is doing its best to sweeten the pot. Founded in 2017, Party Animal has a threefold mission: to make a versatile, 80-proof spirit, to use only Idaho russet potatoes in its production and to send a portion of its profits to support local and international animal foundations. This spring, the distillery brought the party to Boise, and its 25-ounce bottles covered in jungle and animal print motifs are available at liquor stores on Grove Street, and Vista and Broadway avenues at $23 a pop. —Lex Nelson partyanimalvodka.com Taken by Instagram user harrisonberry0725.
DEAR HINDSIGHT, Difficult breakups can be one of the most emotionally painful things that we go through in life. Investments of the heart are always high stakes. You have a decision to make. If you are 100-percent on board with sharing him, level with him and see if it can work. If you are not 100-percent on board with opening up your relationship to this sort of thing, then you are better to walk away and seek the kind of relationship you want. There is nothing wrong with making that kind of decision. He may have seemed like your strength but he can’t take that credit. He was only holding a mirror up to the strength that you already possess within yourself. Whatever you decide, give yourself time to grieve over the decision if necessary, and then tap into your strength and create something beautiful from it. 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 GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Between 1967 and 1973, NASA used a series of Saturn V rockets to deliver six groups of American astronauts to the moon. Each massive vehicle weighed about 6.5 million pounds. The initial thrust required to launch it was tremendous. Gas mileage was seven inches per gallon. Only later, after the rocket flew farther from the grip of Earth’s gravity, did the fuel economy improve. I’m guessing that in your own life, you may be experiencing something like that seven-inches-per-gallon feeling right now. But I guarantee you won’t have to push this hard for long. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mars, the planet that rules animal vitality and instinctual enthusiasm, will cruise through your astrological House of Synergy for much of the next five months. I’ve concluded that between now and mid-November, your experience of togetherness should reach peak expression. Do you want intimacy to be robust and intense, sometimes bordering on rambunctious? It will be if you want it to be. Adventures in collaboration will invite you to wander out to the frontiers of your understanding about how relationships work best. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Which astrological sign laughs hardest and longest and most frequently? I’m inclined to speculate that Sagittarius deserves the crown, with Leo and Gemini fighting it out for second place. But having said that, I suspect that in the coming weeks you Leos could rocket to the top of the chart, vaulting past Sagittarians. Not only are you likely to find everything funnier than usual; I bet you will also encounter more than the usual number of authentically humorous and amusing experiences. (P.S.: I hope you won’t cling too fiercely to your dignity, because that would interfere with your full enjoyment of the cathartic cosmic gift.) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, a little extra egotism might be healthy for you right now. A surge of super-confidence would boost your competence; it would also fine-tune your physical well-being and attract an opportunity that might not otherwise find its way to you. So, for example, consider the possibility of renting a billboard on which you put a giant photo of yourself with a tally of your accomplishments and a list of your demands. The cosmos and I won’t have any problem with you bragging more than usual or asking for more goodies than you’re usually content with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for happy endings to sad

stories, and for the emergence of efficient solutions to convoluted riddles. I bet it will also be a phase when you can perform some seemingly clumsy magic that dispatches a batch of awkward karma. Hooray! Hallelujah! Praise God! But now listen to my admonition, Libra: The coming weeks won’t be a good time to toss and turn in your bed all night long thinking about what you might have done differently in the month of May. Honor the past by letting it go. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Dr. Astrology: In the past four weeks, I have washed all 18 of my underpants four times. Every single time, each item has been inside-out at the end of the wash cycle. This is despite the fact that most of them were not insideout when I threw them in the machine. Does this weird anomaly have some astrological explanation? -Upside-Down Scorpio.” Dear Scorpio: Yes. Lately your planetary omens have been rife with reversals, inversions, flip-flops and switchovers. Your underpants situation is a symptom of the bigger forces at work. Don’t worry about those bigger forces, though. Ultimately, I think you’ll be glad for the renewal that will emerge from the various turnabouts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As I sat down to meditate on your horoscope, a hummingbird flew in my open window. Scrambling to herd it safely back outside, I knocked my iPad on the floor, which somehow caused it to open a link to a Youtube video of an episode of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune, where the hostess revealed the word puzzle solution was use it or lose it. What does this omen mean? Maybe this: You’ll be surprised by a delightful interruption that compels you to realize you had better start taking advantage of a gift or blessing that you’ve been slow to capitalize on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase when you’ll be smart to bring more light and liveliness into your work. To spur your efforts, I offer the following provocations. 1. “When I work, I relax. Doing nothing makes me tired.” -Pablo Picasso 2. “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” -Ann Landers 3. “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” -Aristotle 4. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” -Scott Adams 5. “Working hard and working smart can sometimes be two different things.” -Byron Dorgan 6. “Don’t stay in bed unless you can make money in bed.” -George Burns 7. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.” -Mark Twain.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” said poet and short-story writer Raymond Carver. “But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” My reading of the astrological omens suggests that the current phase of your cycle is one of those intervals, Aquarius. In light of this grace period, I have some advice for you, courtesy of author Anne Lamott: “You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes. You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Between you and your potential new power spot is a 10-foot-high, electrified fence. It’s composed of your least-charitable thoughts and your rigid beliefs about what’s impossible for you to accomplish. Is there anything you can do to deal with this inconvenient illusion? I recommend that you call on Mickey Rat, the cartoon superhero in your dreams who knows the difference between destructive destruction and creative destruction. Maybe as he demonstrates how enjoyable it could be to tear down the fence, you’ll be inspired to join in the fun. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You would be wise to ruffle and revise your relationship with time. It would be healthy for you to gain more freedom from its relentless demands; to declare at least some independence from its oppressive hold on you; to elude its push to impinge on every move you make. Here’s a ritual you could do to spur your imagination: Smash a timepiece. I mean that literally. Go to the store and invest $20 in a hammer and alarm clock. Take them home and vociferously apply the hammer to the clock in a holy gesture of pure, righteous chastisement. Who knows? This bold protest might trigger some novel ideas about how to slip free from the imperatives of time for a few stolen hours each week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Promise me that you won’t disrespect, demean or neglect your precious body in the coming weeks. Promise me that you will treat it with tender compassion and thoughtful nurturing. Give it deep breaths, pure water, healthy and delicious food, sweet sleep, enjoyable exercise, and reverential sex. Such veneration is always recommended, of course, but it’s especially crucial for you to attend to this noble work during the next four weeks. It’s time to renew and revitalize your commitment to your soft warm animal self.
