EDITOR’S NOTE PAINTING THE WORD PICTURE In this week’s edition of Boise Weekly, I sit down with Idaho gubernatorial candidate Paulette Jordan for a no-topic-off-limits interview on pages 10-12. As you might expect, it’s a free-wheeling conversation where we dive into a recent Idaho Statesman report on the Jordan campaign that cast a shadow across the political landscape just a few weeks before early voting. “I’m writing my own playbook,” Jordan told me when asked about taking political advice from established political operatives who are often old, white and male. “When people come to me and tell what they’ve done in previous campaigns and how they can win me over, I’ll say, ‘You’re wasting your time.’” And now a word or two about the lovely oil painting that graces this week’s cover. It’s not too often that we put portraits on the cover, but we couldn’t resist the backstory. It turns out that this week’s artist, Joan Thomas, was in a local sandwich shop and when Ashley, a young woman working behind the counter, noticed she looked a bit sad. Ashley offered Joan a free cookie. Little did she know that Joan was grieving the recent and unexpected loss of her youngest son. Joan told Ashley that she was a painter and that Ashley had “a lovely and interesting” smile. She asked Ashley to pose for her near Barber Park, and she agreed. Joan even told Ashley that someday her portrait might make the cover of Boise Weekly. Ashley later wrote to Joan to say that after training at Life’s Kitchen and taking several jobs at local businesses, she’s now a shift lead at the new Albertsons grocery store on Broadway Avenue. “It all started with kindness,” wrote Ashley, adding that Joan had her full permission to submit the painting as a Boise Weekly cover. The rest, as they say, is history.

MAKING HISTORY: NEW WAYS OF TELLING IDAHO’S STORY No worries, the two-headed cow gets to stay GEORGE PRENTICE PH OTOS AND INFOGR APHIC S COURTESY IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIE T Y

In the museum’s South Idaho gallery (left), panels tell the history of agriculture in the Idaho Land and its People exhibit. Unique artifacts from Harriman State Park are featured in the Central Idaho gallery’s Idaho Parks and Recreation exhibit (right).

ith all due respect to the talented men and women of the Idaho State Historical Society, the old Idaho State Historical Museum was… well, not great. Informative? Always. Interesting? Mostly. Engaging? Occasionally. Fun? Well, at least there was that two-headed cow. Even its most ardent admirers had to admit that the museum had seen better days, most of them in the last century—its own history dates back to 1941, and its last renovation was nearly four decades ago. That was then. Now, following five years of development and construction, and with a very modern price tag of more than $17 million, a reimagined but modestly renamed Idaho State Museum is ready to make a bit of history. The renovation is the most ambitious state-funded project since a $20 million facelift of the Idaho Capitol in 2010. Idaho media gets its first look at the new museum on Thursday, Sept. 27; a few private previews for key stakeholders and donors will

follow, but opening day for the general public is slated for Friday, Oct. 12. While the new museum has an impressive power grid to manage a head-turning flurry of high-tech displays, some of its electricity can be traced to the thunderbolt that is ISHS Executive Director Janet Gallimore. She’s quick to give most of the credit to the scores of historians, curators, designers, architects and artists who helped regenerate the museum into a new, must-see attraction, but Gallimore’s own power surge is not to be underestimated. “The size of the project was always big, and the challenges continued to grow as time progressed. But it was always important to think about this in the simplest of terms: doing it right,” she said. “It’s truly about doing it right… doing it right as a process, doing it right as a procedure, as a schedule and getting all of your deliverables right. The real magic? It’s about doing it right for 8 the people.”

IDAHO’S TRIBES: HONORING THE PAST, ACCENTUATING THE PRESENT

Early in the planning process, ISHS teams partnered with Idaho’s five federally recognized tribes in a renewed effort to craft accurate and respectful tribal content for the new museum. “It was critical that we first received their permission and then their assignment of liaisons to work with us. Then we traveled to each homeland,” said Gallimore. Working continuously with tribal liaisons, ISHS historians began shaping what Gallimore called “anchor” stories that are a key part of the museum’s new focus: “How Idaho’s land shaped the people, and the people shaped the land.” Those stories help highlight the role that each tribe plays in Idaho’s present-day culture. “It’s not our story to tell. It’s the tribes’ stories. And the tribes have a very impressive partnership amongst themselves. The chairmen get together twice a year to talk about matters that are important to them, and at the beginning of our process, they invited us to one of their tribal chairmen’s committee meetings,” Gallimore recalled. The end result was a painstakingly detailed chronicle of each tribe’s origin story. With the help of 21st-century craftwork,

those tribal stories will come to life in the new museum, employing authentic art, eye-popping animation and tribal narration. “And this is important: One of the most critical things we learned in our conversations with the tribes was that they didn’t want us to leave their stories in the past, as if their stories only include arrows, teepees and people on horses. They want us to share their tribes’ value to the state today, particularly in terms of commerce, culture and land stewardship.” In fact, a 2015 focus group, soliciting input from hundreds of Idaho educators and citizens, listed tribal stories as the “highest motivating factor [for] visiting an Idaho museum.” That helped ISHS secure a much-need Public Humanities Projects Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to help fund the displays, which will include the following exhibitions: • A “Tribal Theater,” illuminating tribal origin stories in the museum’s new Origins gallery. • The opportunity for visitors to design and create a parfleche (a Native American garment/blanket traditionally made of buffalo hide). • A newly designed introduction to the story of Sacagawea and her role in the Lewis and Clark expedition, plus the story of Wat-Ku-Weis greeting the Lewis and Clark expedition as it entered Nez Perce territory.

• A contemporary story of how the Coeur d’Alene Tribe helps oversee the health of Lake Coeur d’Alene. • A contemporary Shoshone-Bannock story of how the tribe assists in the recovery of Sockeye salmon. • A contemporary Shoshone-Paiute story of how the tribe helps protect the Owyhee Canyonlands and other sacred sites in the southwest desert. Equally important was the inclusion of harrowing stories of historical and generational trauma inflicted upon the tribes. “Of course, we absolutely need to tell the story of massacre, dislocation, relocation… all of it,” said Gallimore. “It’s ultimately important to give the public an understanding and, hopefully, some empathy about that history too.” Part of that will be found in the museum’s new section, dubbed “Cultural Conflict,” which examines the impact of thousands of Oregon Trail emigrants on tribal homelands, including loss of food sources. It culminates in the Bear River Massacre of 1863, which resulted in the deaths of more Native Americans than any other massacre in the West. “And all throughout the process of designing all of these exhibits, it was so important for the tribes to tell their own stories,” said Gallimore. “Because if that didn’t work, it would have been disrespectful.”

‘WE HAD TO MAKE SURE OUR EXHIBITS AND BUILDING SPOKE TO ONE ANOTHER’

Early in the five-year planning process, ISHS staff recognized that all of their new exhibits would need to have plenty to say to the museum’s visitors—officials estimate about 117,000 visitors will walk through the doors each year, compared to about 35,000 past annual visitors—but Gallimore said it was also important that the exhibits and actual building talked to one another. “Not only did we have to marry our hoped-for exhibition designs with fundraising, we had to also marry our proposed building design with the fundraising. So, in a way, we had to make sure our exhibits and building spoke to one another. Sometimes, we would get a proposed exhibit designed and then, whoops, the HVAC system was in the wrong spot. And then we’d have another exhibit in mind and, whoops, the electricity wasn’t in the right spot. If you don’t marry the exhibit design to the building design, you can get into really big trouble.” Apparently, the exhibits and the building had quite the conversation. The footprint of the old Idaho Historical Museum was nearly 28,000 square feet, and the new Idaho State Museum is approximately 48,000 square feet. “You’ll remember that the original museum, built in the mid-20th century, was rectangular. Then, in 1980, they wrapped around that building, creating a sort of funny wing in the front,” said Gallimore. “That’s when Sacagawea was outside, in front of the museum.” For the record, Sacagawea is now inside. Her statue will help greet those entering a new foyer that will also include some of the building’s original architecture, plus some 9 of the art deco trim from the original museum’s design.

THE COOL STUFF Another new detail about the Idaho State Museum is that a river runs through it—at least figuratively. Soon after visitors walk through the doors, they’ll step onto a beautifully tiled river snaking across the grand foyer. “The very idea of water in Idaho begins your journey; it connects you to a multimedia river and then it will continue to take you throughout the whole museum,” said Gallimore. “Soon after entering, you’ll also be greeted by a huge multimedia map of Idaho, inviting you to visit a number of locations. You’ll touch your finger to a number of places, and something special will pop up. Up next, you’ll enter our Origins exhibit, and that begins our connection to the land. It’s a big ‘wow.’” There are plenty more ‘wows’ for the young and youngat-heart, including: • A “Boomtown” exhibit where visitors will don hard hats, step into the mouth of a mineshaft, stock coal into a railroad engine and even shout “Fire in the hole!” as they “detonate” a mine using dynamite. • Watching a tiny spark erupt into a blazing wildfire that will ultimately become the Big Burn.

“Our initial plan for the redesign was to peel off that 1980 8 wraparound from the outside of the building. We started from there. But we ran into other challenges. You may remember that part of the first floor of the museum goes down a half-story, dipping down to a garden level. But we couldn’t even that out. We couldn’t excavate any further. We needed to get very creative. We were given a certain dollar figure, and it’s not as if we could keep coming back and back and back again, asking for more money.” All that said, the new museum is nearly twice as large as the old. More than 8,500 square feet of locally sourced masonry was poured into the new project. Approximately 7,000 square feet of local Table Rock sandstone was chiseled, more than 1,600 gallons of paint were used, and over 8,000 4-by-8-inch sheets of plywood and three tons of metal were hammered into place for the new exhibitions. Over $17 million was dedicated to the entire project: about $9 million for the building allocated from the state’s Permanent Building Fund and another $8 million for exhibits, split evenly between the Idaho Legislature and private donations. Grants also played a huge role in funding. For example, that NEA grant earmarked for exhibits on Native American tribes totaled $400,000. “It’s overwhelming when you start thinking about millions of dollars. But it’s really about a lot of pencil-sharpening,” said Gallimore. “Part of our professional team included Mary Ann Arnold, vice chair of the Idaho History capital campaign. She’s an engineer, retired from [Morrison-Knudsen Corporation]. Talk about a pencil-sharpener! She always looked at this through the lens of being a fundraiser and an engineer. That way, throughout the entire process, we could tell our donors that the pencils were sharpened on every detail.”

Multimedia displays highlight the Origins gallery (left). Winter recreation is explored in the Central Idaho gallery (right).

Hands-on interactive exhibits are part of the Central Idaho gallery.

• “Riding” a chairlift up Bald Mountain in the Central Idaho Gallery. • Sitting at a virtual campfire hearing about some of the first efforts to protect Idaho’s wilderness. • Hopping on a stationary bike and taking a virtual spin through some of the historic neighborhoods of Boise or Pocatello. • “Riding” a scow down the Salmon River. And don’t think for a moment that the museum’s former No. 1 attraction won’t make a return appearance. “Yes, Deja Moo will be back,” said Gallimore. For the uninitiated, the two-headed calf was born on a Jerome ranch back in the 1950s. Though he/she/they died a few days later, the animal, which has since been dubbed “Deja Moo” was mounted and stuffed, and has been displayed at Idaho’s history museum ever since. Tiny, stuffedanimal replicas of Deja Moo have been big sellers in the museum’s gift shop for decades. “You’ll see Deja Moo as part of our Boomtown exhibit in something akin to a penny arcade. But Deja Moo needed a haircut. Yes, we spruced it up a bit,” said Gallimore.

Also returning to the renovated museum will be a stained-glass dome from the old Owyhee hotel (circa 1909) and the massive C.W. Smith wooden bar (circa the 1880s). But perhaps the most impressive spot where old meets new will be the museum’s Stories from Idaho gallery, where visitors are invited to learn about the lives of some of Idaho’s most famous people, including Idaho’s first Latino judge, Hon. Judge Sergio Gutierrez, grocery legend Joe Albertson and rock and roller Paul Revere (of The Raiders fame). Visitors will also be invited to chronicle some of their own history. They’ll type in their names, pose for photos and choose some personal attributes (i.e. perseverance, creativity, bravery etc.) that define their historical natures. Their images and backstories will then be added to a large and ever-changing photo wall of “famous” Idahoans. As a souvenir, a selfie will be emailed to the visitor’s smartphone to capture a bit of their own posterity. “We all have a story. All of our stories are important,” said Gallimore. “I can’t wait for that wall to come to life with our visitors’ stories. We all matter.”

PAULETTE JORDAN, THE INTERVIEW ‘I’ve created my own playbook.’ GEORGE PRENTICE

oman. Native American. Mother. Lawmaker. Activist. Disruptor. Categorize (or worse yet, marginalize) Palette Jordan at your own risk. Her already-historic run to be the nation’s first Native American governor and Idaho’s first female chief executive has upended traditional Gem State politics at nearly every turn. Follow Jordan for several days, and it’s likely that you’ll spot her in intimate settings rather than at a never-ending string of massive campaign rallies. Yes, you’ll hear her stump for increased economic opportunity, Medicaid expansion and support for affordable health care, like most Democrats. But you’ll also likely hear her talk about her staunch support of Second Amendment rights, which she says go hand-in-glove with what she calls her deep-set values for hunting and fishing rights. In living rooms, kitchens, church basements and meeting halls across Idaho, you’ll hear Jordan conversing in hushed tones with probable supporters who tell her they haven’t voted in an Idaho election in many years. She won’t hesitate to tell you that her own perceived path to the Idaho Statehouse may not be the road most traveled, adding that it has been paved mostly by those who have been, too often, kicked to the curb in elections past.

10 | SEPTEMBER 26 – OCTOBER 2, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

To be sure, Jordan has her detractors, including some in her own Democratic party, who have pointed to a Sept. 20 article in the Idaho Statesman that scorched Jordan’s campaign like a prairie fire. The story, penned by Idaho Press Club 2017 Reporter of the Year Cynthia Sewell, linked the resignation of Michael Rosenow, who’d been Jordan’s campaign manager since July, to concerns over the campaign’s alleged ties to a political action committee, the Strength and Progress PAC, which has accepted donations from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Jordan’s campaign was quick to state that it “had received no support in any way from Strength and Progress.” That said, the article consumed a considerable amount of campaign oxygen in the days that followed. With the Statesman story still casting a shadow across the political landscape, particularly on social media, Jordan agreed to an on-the-record conversation with Boise Weekly. We spoke of the much-talked-about report and more, including Jordan’s challenges against long-established political machines, some in her own party.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Fill in the blank. The campaign is going… Stronger than ever. We’re going to ensure that people are focused on the issues at hand, which are far more important than rumors or rhetoric displayed in the media, this time in the Statesman. There are great people at the Statesman, but this time they got it wrong. People are counting on us to be stronger leaders, regardless of the rhetoric or the rumors or the sensationalism that we have, even here in Idaho. So, let’s get into the Statesman story. The newspaper is still considered by many to be the paper of record. People in all corners of the state probably went online to read it. But [they] may have just read the headline and picked out one or two things. I don’t know Cynthia Sewell personally, but I know her professionally to be a superb journalist. What’s wrong with the Statesman’s story? You always want to stick to facts. First of all, I’m here to defend the integrity of the media, but then you have those bad actors who want to drive home baseless rumors that they want to latch onto. In this case, it was Cynthia’s story; and the biggest piece of that story that she latched onto didn’t include her doing the research or hearing our side of the story. I think that takes some digging instead of taking some anonymous email and riding with it. Of course,

she’s going to be fed all kinds of rhetoric from the Republican Party and they’re going to smear our campaign and our good will in every way possible. Yes, it’s the nature of politics that I’m most mad about. But what’s the bottom line of the relationship of the Strength and Progress super PAC and your campaign? First off, I hear from people all the time that they’re not even aware of what a PAC is. And because of that, I think they’re trying to use that against us. And the “they” that I’m talking about is the Republican Party. It’s interesting to note that even in the Republican Party, funds from corporations [and] wealthy billionaire taxpayers are helping candidates through their super PACs. I think that’s why we have such a capricious perception of elections being bought. But in this case, it’s a tribe, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, a sovereign entity, that has created this PAC, which is certainly above level. It’s their right. It’s a very legal process. But in the wake of the Statesman report, there has been a fair amount of dialogue, primarily on social media, about transparency. We’ve been very forthright. On this campaign, we cannot take any money from that PAC, nor will we. We’ve been going strong on this, yet it’s not being reported. We’ve been taking money from the people. We’ve had over

12,000 people who have, individually, given an average of about $40 per person. I think that’s pretty exceptional. Why would you not report that? Fundraising may seem impossible, but there are a lot of people who are far more progressive and far more independent than there are Democrats or Republicans. That said, fundraising is critical, and it’s particularly difficult for a Democrat to raise a lot of money in Idaho. I try to promote a grassroots movement, where why rely on 1,000 volunteers giving their personal time and their own resources to invest in our campaign. And donations? I’ll have someone give $3, $5, even $5,000. And yes, our story has drawn some national attention, building into a wider, national conversation. I know that in the Statesman story, they were harping on the fact that I was in California [earlier this month]. Well, California invited us there. They wanted to support Idaho by helping us in our message. One more note about money. We’re now less than six weeks until the election. Television ads are very expensive. Will you be pushing out a good many TV spots soon? We’ll see, but I’m part of a younger generation that’s not really beholden to TV. I don’t watch TV and I don’t know anyone who does, other than, say, Netflix or Hulu.

So you’re ripping that page out of the playbook? I’ve created my own playbook. Speaking of which, I think it’s fair to say that most political playbooks are still the work of old, white men. My playbook… Well, we’re writing history at the same time, aren’t we? We’re definitely breaking molds and barriers. But it’s important to be steady as possible at the same time. For me, it’s about being very cautious but being very bold. When you say you’re “cautious” in your steps, what exactly are you talking about? Cautious because you’re always going to be burdened with [low] standards and hypocrisy. Because you’re a woman? And a person of color. And living in a conservative state. For instance, people assume that I’m not a gun owner. Well, I am a gun owner. They forget that my roots are here in Idaho, that I have children, a family from here. They forget that I’m a landowner. I know the issues directly because I’m directly connected to the issues. There are those who honestly think, “She should wait her turn. It’s not her time. A woman still won’t got elected in this day and age. She should wait a few years 12 until Idaho gets more progressive.”

“THERE ARE THOSE WHO HONESTLY THINK, ‘SHE SHOULD WAIT HER TURN. IT’S NOT HER TIME. A WO MAN STILL WON’T GE T ELECTED IN THIS DAY AND AG E. SHE SHOULD WA IT A FE W YE ARS UNTIL IDAHO GE TS MORE PROGRES SIVE.’”

“ M Y O N LY PAT H TO S U C C ES S I S BY RO L L I N G U P M Y S L E E V ES , GE T TING INTO THE COMMUNITIES AND FIGHTING FOR THOSE WH O A RE M O ST V U L N E R AB L E.”

I don’t know if this will surprise you or not, but a week or two before the May Democratic gubernatorial primary, there were members of your own party, pretty high up in the ranks, who approached me in an effort to get me to write a negative story about your campaign. I’m not surprised at all. Look, folks here in Idaho need a lot of help. And they’re not asking for a handout. They’re asking for someone to defend them and protect them, to give them some kind of hope, to believe again. They watch what I’m going through, and they can relate to these arrows of hypocrisy, arrows of shame. People are turned off by the media. They don’t want to believe what they read or see anymore. That’s rather shameful, because people should have trust in their government. And the media? They’re supposed to be the front-line defenders. But when all of that is working against you, you know that you’re flowing backwards. You have to right the ship for the better. That’s what I’m here for. I’ve had people come up to me and say they haven’t voted since Carter, or voted since Reagan, and then they tell me that they’ll have good reason to vote again. If 11

you look at my background, my heritage, it’s always about fighting for independence and the rights of all people. I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about two major propositions also on the ballot this November. Let’s talk about the possibility of Medicaid expansion. I‘ve been firmly in favor of this everywhere I go. Expanding Medicaid is not only the right thing to do, it’s fiscally responsible. It’s even fiscally conservative. When you compare me to my opponent, it couldn’t be more clear that I’m the champion and clear advocate when it comes to Medicaid expansion. And Proposition 1, advocating for the return of betting machines at Idaho race tracks? I’m firmly against it. I remind people that this is not an initiative to legalize horse racing. It’s an initiative to legalize slot machines. You’ve talked a bit about how you’re writing your own playbook. So, do you see your path to victory as a very specific, targeted campaign, or is it a wide-berth, all-in statewide barrage?

12 | SEPTEMBER 26 – OCTOBER 2, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

I have something that no other candidate has, that no one can ever replicate. I’ve got a direct connection to people that can’t be judged or challenged. People think we’re going to buy a ton of ads, buy a lot more political junk. They think we’re going to try to manipulate the media and that that, somehow, will sway people’s minds. When people come up to me and tell me how they can win me over, I’ll say, “You’re wasting your time.” My only path to success is by rolling up my sleeves, getting into the communities and fighting for those who are most vulnerable. Honestly, you can either stand on the sideline, side with corruption or cronyism, or side with those who fight for freedom and independence. One last note, and stop me if you think this is a bit personal. I saw a photograph of you—I’m pretty certain it was last Christmas—and the picture must have been taken by a friend or relative. It was just a few days after you decided to run for governor, but you and your sons were in a bit of a snowstorm outside of a small church in northern Idaho. My mom took that picture. It was just after midnight mass on Christmas Eve. It’s was

a blinding snowstorm. In church that night, everyone was just praying on me. I had just announced, and that night, the people in church said, “We’re with you. You may not always see us in the coming months, but we’re always here and we’re always with you.” To that end, can you speak to a campaign needing you to travel as much as possible while also asking you to take time away from your two sons? It gets me a bit emotional. I get sensitive when it comes to them. I appreciate you asking the question. I’m just not decided if people should ask you about your kids. They’re everything to me. Sometimes I don’t get home until 10 p.m., but they’re in bed by 9 o’clock. Sometimes I’ll wake them to give them a kiss and be there in the morning before school. That’s the driving force: just knowing to spend as many waking moments as you can with them. They tell me that they love to talk about what I’m doing in their classrooms; and they’ll tell me how important it is to them that their mom is revered and respected.

COFFEE CUPPING 101

BOISE PHILHARMONIC PUB CRAWL

GEEKCRAFT EXPO 2018

SCALLYWAG FEST 2018

The coffee news website Perfect Daily Grind describes the mindset of third-wave coffee consumers like this: “We chase sweetness, complexity and distinctiveness in our brews. And we’re happy to pay more.” Those same consumers also chase transparency in quality, sourcing and brew method, and they don’t hesitate to ask experts for help, including the pros at Flying M Coffeegarage in Nampa. The shop offers hour-long classes in “coffee cupping,” where brew lovers can follow their beans “from berry to cup,” learn the ins and outs of scent, and taste three single-origin roasts, all for $10. Plus, attendees score a bag of their favorite beans from the tasting to take home. Spots are limited, so snag tickets through the Flying M website at least 24 hours in advance of the class before they’re gone. 7-8 p.m., $10. Flying M Coffeegarage, 1314 Second St. S., Nampa, 208-467-5533, ﬂyingmcoffee.com.

Usually the term “pub crawl” brings to mind the thundering tones of rock n’ roll, or at the very least folk singers backed up by acoustic guitar. But the Boise Philharmonic has other ideas—and its upcoming pub crawl will bring a touch of class to a handful of Boise’s most popular drinking spots. On Thursday, Sept. 27, the Boise Phil Chamber Players and Boise State Public Radio will team up to bring classical music to cantinas; courtesy of the Phil’s Woodwind Quintet, String Quartet and Brass Quintet, respectively. Each venue will offer plenty of booze and food to go along with the free music, which starts at 6 p.m. at Woodland Empire and ends at Pengilly’s, where the brass will trumpet until 9 p.m. See Guide on page 18 for more details. 6-8 p.m. at Woodland Empire Alecraft, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Boise Brewing; 7-9 p.m. at Pengilly’s Saloon, FREE. Downtown Boise, 208344-7849, boisephil.org.

Boise’s craft coffee and restaurant scenes have exploded along with its population, but Marvel comic book writer and nerdtastic expo founder Daniel Way has noticed another boom in the City of Trees: its number of geeks per capita. “Boise is exactly the kind of city—and community—where GeekCraft Expo works best; it has a strong DIY ethic, it understands how crucial it is to support local small businesses … and, of course, it’s full of geeks,” said Way in a press release for GeekCraft, which will debut its expo in Boise on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28 and 29. The “mall for geeks” will fill the Linen Building with local vendors selling handmade geek-themed items, including clothing, jewelry, artwork, home decor and plushies inspired by the alternate universes that you love. And did we mention that it’s free? Come fly your geek flag. 5-9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, FREE. Linen Building, 1402 W Grove St., 208384-0419, geekcraftexpo.com.

Beer and live music go hand in hand, and when one of the two is unlimited, that’s the making of a perfect day. Luckily for Boiseans, the Scallywag Fest is bringing that gold-standard combination to town for another year. The fest will ﬁll Centurylink Arena and Grove Plaza on Sunday, Sept. 30, for a full day of quafﬁng and rocking. Show up early to score a free tasting glass and try limitless beer samples from more than 20 breweries from 1-4 p.m. Upwards of 100 beers will be represented; local vendors will serve up food; and bands including Bad Religion, Pennywise, Reel Big Fish, The Interrupters, Less Than Jake and Mad Caddies will provide the entertainment. Plus, VIP tickets will get 500 lucky attendees early admission and seats in a VIP Lounge with a view of the main stage. 1 p.m., $40-$60. Centurylink Arena and Grove Plaza, 233 S.

What do New York City subways, Beyonce’s Lemonade Tour and a drummer who goes by the name “King of Sludge” have in common? They’re all key parts to the story of Big Apple-based “brass house” band Too Many Zooz. The group began as a busking act, but was soon discovered in a big way, moving from playing in the subway to making music about it—its ﬁrst full-length album, Subway Gawdz (self-released) debuted in 2017—and sharing the stage with such notable names as Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks. Set apart by its unique “brass house” label, Too Many Zooz combines trumpet and saxophone with drums and an eclectic mix of multinational inﬂuences: “Missy,” for example, pairs an EDM-style bassline (courtesy of percussionist King of Sludge) with funky trumpet work and vocals reminiscent of hip-hop and rap.

EARTHLESS, NEUROLUX, SEPT. 28

For most of its duration, California-based band Earthless has also been voiceless, focusing its psychedelic rock tunes on instrumentation. But the group’s newest album, Black Heaven (Nuclear Blast, 2018) upended tradition, putting guitarist Isaiah Mitchell in front of the mic. “I’m sure there will be some people who have come to expect the big gargantuan space rock jams, and I don’t know if they’ll be into this or not,” drummer Mario Rubalcaba said in the group’s website bio, mulling over the new release. “But I’m ready to deal with a little bit of disappointment.” For those who like 70s and 80s rock, however, Black Heaven may be an exciting turn for a band that has stayed true to its acid-trip roots since 2001. Tracks like “Gifted by the Wind” and “Electric Flame” have a distinctive old-school rock n’ roll feel (think electric guitar riffs, roiling drums and plenty of cymbal) that should make the band accessible to new fans when it stops in Boise on Friday, Sept. 28, to play Neurolux. —Lex Nelson

NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP Rising country singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini joins Keith Urban at Taco Bell Arena LE X NEL SON Despite her successes—a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, a small sold-out headlining tour and numerous No. 1 hits among them—newly minted country music star Kelsea Ballerini refuses to rest on her laurels. And one of her favorite things about multi-platinum artist Keith Urban, who she’ll open for in Boise on Friday, Sept. 28, as part of his Graffiti U World Tour, is that he shares the same mindset. “He is the greatest artist I think I’ve ever been around. And the reason I say that is because not only does he put on a two-and-halfhour show every night, but every day when he gets to the venue, he gets on stage and he sound checks for [another] two and a half hours,” said Ballerini. “He just wants everything to be perfect; he’s never comfortable. And I think seeing an artist who’s at that level still want to get better is just incredible.” This isn’t Ballerini’s first time in Boise, but she’s returning with fresh material: the 12 tracks from her second album, Unapologetically (Black River, 2017), which takes an autobiographical tour through the last two years of her love life. Ballerini has been flexing her songwriting muscles since moving to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue music at the age of 15 (she turned 25 this year), but Unapologetically was a particularly epic foray in the writers’ room. She selected the album’s final dozen songs from more than 200 she either wrote or co-wrote after her debut, The First Time (Black River, 2015), hit shelves. The hardest part of the process, Ballerini said, was figuring out the concept of the record—cherry-picking came easily after that, though she had to pass up a few tracks she loved. “[The concept] was the filter that I used to pick the songs, so it went from a breakup into life into love [with her husband, country singer Morgan Evans], and if it didn’t fit those categories it didn’t make the record,” she said. As for the songs left on the cutting room floor, it’s an even split whether they’ll appear on later albums or end up in the reject pile permanently.

“It’s hard to say, because I’m still writing pretty proactively,” Ballerini said. “By the time I make my next record, I don’t know if I’ll still be as attached to those songs as I am now.” Ballerini first made a name for herself with tracks about love—“I wanted to make a record that sounded like a 19-year-old and everything that you feel, whether it’s your first crushes, your first relationship [or] your first real heartbreak,” she said of her first album—and Unapologetically sticks to those themes, though with a more mature lens and a pop-country crossover tone. Bittersweet tracks like “High School” and “Graveyard” are pure country, pairing Ballerini’s smooth, whiskey-undertone voice with delicately picked guitar riffs. “Miss Me More” sets up a stark contrast, pushing country to its pop limits in same spirit that led Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” to make Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 chart in 2007. The beat pulses insistently under a throughline packed with attitude, the refrain, “Yeah I thought I missed you / But I miss me more,” surfacing from a robotic chorus more reminiscent of Lady Gaga than anything typically playing on a country station. “I’ve always been really open about my love for pop and mainstream music. I listen to everything and I’m a fan of everything, but I’m a country artist,” Ballerini explained. “And I think that it’s a really cool time in country right now, that you can turn on the radio and you can hear R&B and folk and pop influences on mainstream country radio. So yeah, I think pushing that boundary is a really fun thing to be a part of.” Yet it’s also a controversial thing for some fans. Country artists like Taylor Swift have struggled with major backlash when bridging or switching genres, and Ballerini said she has faced her fair share of criticism from devotees of The First Time who aren’t sold on her new direction. “Oh yeah, definitely. But you know what, I think every artist on the spectrum—I mean every artist—is going to have people who say something negative. I think for me, I just look at the fact that it’s worked so far and that country radio has embraced it, and there are people that show up to the shows and like what I do, and so I don’t really worry too much about the people that don’t,” she said. Controversy aside, Ballerini is already breaking country music records. She’s the only woman in the genre (including groups as well as individual artists) to have hit No. 1 with her first three singles—“Love Like You Mean It,” “Dibs” and “Peter Pan”—and the only one to top the Billboard Hot Country Song and Country Airplay charts in tandem. It may be tempting to describe Ballerini’s voice as flawless, but she’d be the first to contradict you—or at least the first to ask how much that matters. Her stint as a fifth judge on The Voice’s Comeback Stage series, which premiered Sept. 24, brought

her opinions on craft the fore as the stepped into a mentorship role for the first time. Over and over, she told her mentees to relax, to let their voices be imperfect and focus on rounding out their entire performances. “They’re so focused on hitting the notes and making sure that it sounds perfect, and my advice for them was like, ‘You know, being an artist, as much as it is about your voice, it’s about your performance too. It’s about connecting with the lyrics, it’s about why you’re writing the song or picking the song you sang and then showing that,’” she said.

When her tour with Urban wraps in November, Ballerini will gear up to share her music alongside another big name: Kelly Clarkson. She and The Voice season 14 winner Brynn Cartelli will join Clarkson for what she calls a “girl power tour.” But as exciting as that is, Ballerini is already eyeing her next goal. “I really want to do a big headlining tour. I’ve done a few small ones, and there’s just something really, really empowering and fulfilling about doing a headlining show,” she said. The laurels will have to wait. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Now, before you do a double-take, thinking In her 2014 essay, “The Power and the Glory,” that you’ve turned to the news page, rest assured Boise State University history professor Dr. Jill that you have indeed arrived at my weekly Screen Gill wrote that religion “has operated as both a cultural divider and a uniter, helping to determine column, and we’re all here to consider a marvelous which of its citizens should be treated as part of an new film, The Children Act, starring the incomin-group or an out-group by including or exclud- parable Emma Thompson as a High Court Justice of England who must decide the fate of a juvenile ing, according to religious determinations.” That said, the Idaho Statehouse has seen much dying of leukemia.

Nonetheless, the film’s power hasn’t waned, and I’m happy to report that The Children Act will finally hit the big screen at The Flicks in Boise on Friday, Sept. 28. It’s required viewing. Joining Thompson and Tucci in the film superstar-in-the-making Fionn Whitehead as Adam, the young man suffering from leukemia at the eye of the legal firestorm. “When I approached Fionn about doing this role, I asked him if he knew anything about leukemia,” The Children Act director Richard Eyre told me in Toronto in September 2017. “He told me, ‘Well, not many people know this, but my mom just died of leukemia, so I know quite a bit.’ I was stunned. Fionn was entirely professional throughout the filming. He’s amazingly skilled.” Adapted by Ian McEwan (Atonement, On Chesil Beach) from his 2014 best-selling novel of the same name, The Children Act also delves into the personal life of its main protagonist, Justice Fiona Maye (Thompson). Her marriage to husband Jack (Tucci) is failing, in large part because of Fiona’s commitment to her work. As a result, the specters of death, one quite literal (a dying boy) and one quite figurative (a marriage) cast long shadows across a very mature story that only the best of actors could navigate. All in, The Children Act is beautifully profound.

BEER GUZZLER DOGFISH HEAD’S DEBUT

RECREATION

SEAQUENCH ALE SESSION SOUR With just 140 calories, few carbs and 2 grams of protein, this a health-conscious choice. The thick head of the hazy, orange-peel pour settles slowly, but leaves little lacing. The nose is a funky mix of orange, lemon and lime with a whiff of ocean breeze. Sour citrus dominates the mouthfeel and flavors, backed by salty bread dough and a bit of spice. The finish is smooth and refreshing. 60 MINUTE IPA A thick, pillowy head tops this golden straw brew, collapsing slowly and leaving a sticky lacing. The sweet citrus aromas blend nicely with touches of vanilla cake and light, resiny hops. This is a beautifully balanced IPA with no hard edges, just the right hit of hops and mellow malt. The bitterness amps up a bit on the lingering finish. 90 MINUTE IMPERIAL IPA In the glass, it’s a used-penny color with a decent, pockmarked head that sticks around. The aromas are an enticing blend of toasted malt, floral hops, caramel, coffee, dark fruit and a touch of spice. Impressively rich flavors fill the mouth— sweet malt playing against pine-laced hops, followed by tropical fruit and sticky buns, with a boozy warmth coming through on the finish. —David Kirkpatrick

It’s not easy getting East Coast craft breweries to make the cross-country trek to Boise, but Milton, Delaware’s Dogﬁsh Head Craft Brewed Ales has been high on most every beer lover’s wish list. The brewery was founded in 1995, and Idaho’s 23-year wait for its suds is ﬁnally over. As BW was going to press, the ales hadn’t yet hit the shelves and pricing was unreleased.

On Saturday, Sept. 29, Boiseans will get to branch out from their normal weekend activities and participate in a guided tree climb.

Anderson hopes to grow this project into something bigger. In the future, he aims to help people with disabilities climb trees and experience a new world. “I want to get people into trees and empower them with a feeling that maybe they don’t get in their daily lives,” said Anderson. “Maybe they see their lives as having limitations or obstacles, and I want to get them into a place where what they feel is freedom and a relief.” At the end of the climb, Anderson said he hopes people will feel empowered and more connected with the environment in a way that makes them more empathetic toward it. “We live in the City of Trees, but we almost never see people interacting with trees,” said Anderson. “I want them to feel an emotional, physical connection. The best way I know how to do that is to put a rope in a tree, and a person on a rope.” CANOPY WATCH GUIDE TREE CLIMB Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m.- 3 p.m., $19 Idaho Botanical Garden, 2355 Old Penitentiary Road, canopywatch.com.

PAGE BREAK $GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH EN-GAY-GED IN IDAHO HO DEAR MINERVA, My fiance and I are trying to plan our wedding. The question is not whether to invite my father, but rather how to tell him he’s not invited. Suffice to say, he did horrific things to my sister, and she and her children are naturally a part of the wedding. On the one hand, I don’t want to hurt my dad by telling him that he’s not invited, but on the other, he did something unforgivable to one of his children, so should I even feel bad if I tell him that we eloped, even though we didn’t? What do I do? —Sincerely, EnGAYged in Idaho.

DEAR ENGAYGED, I feel like I need to take a Xanax for you! No one is guaranteed an invitation. There are two ways I look at this. First option: Since it is your wedding, simply do not send him an invitation. He must be aware of what he has done and therefore, must live with the consequences of an unforgivable act. If the issue comes up, explain that he cannot attend out of respect for your sister. Second option: Send him a letter explaining that you’re getting married but out of respect for your sister, he’s not invited. I would avoid telling him you’ve “eloped,” as he’ll undoubtedly ﬁnd out that you didn’t. That would be a lie on top of the disappointment. This isn’t easy, but acting with integrity now will make you feel better in the long run. Good luck and congratulations!

URBAN FOX COFFEE POUCH

Perhaps the most beloved cup in the so-called “third wave” of American coffee is the pour over: the drink that results after a slow process of straining hot water through a funnel of coffee grounds, which drips the caffeinated brew into the cup below. The downside of pour overs is that they take some time, and use a piece of paraphernalia (the funnel-shaped “coffee dripper”) that most people don’t keep at home. But coffee enthusiasts in Boise can take a breath of relief on that score thanks to Urban Fox Coffee & Boba, which offers what it calls coffee pouches: on-the-go pour over pods with paper legs that attach to the rim of a coffee cup, hoisting the sachet of grounds aloft in imitation of a funnel. Simply heat up a cup of water, drizzle it into the top of the pouch, and watch your glorious brew emerge below. The pouches cost just $2 each, come in ﬁve different roasts (Sumatra dark roast, Yirgacheffe light roast, Guatemalan medium roast, Colombian medium roast and dark European dark blend—a grind so rich it needs the word dark in its name twice) sourced from Boise-based Caffeina Roasting Company, and are small enough to slip into a pants pocket. Pick some up and stash them in your bag so you’ll never be caught in a pinch without your high-quality joe. —Lex Nelson $2 each, available at Urban Fox Coﬀee & Boba, 2970 N. Eagle Road, Ste. 100, Meridian, urbanfoxidaho.com.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Biologists are constantly unearthing new species, they’re not new in the sense of having just appeared on our planet. In fact, they’re animals and plants that have existed for millennia. But they’ve never before been noticed and identified by science. Among recent additions to our ever-growing knowledge are an orchid in Madagascar that smells like champagne, an electric blue tarantula in the Guyana rain forest, and a Western Australian grass that has a flavor resembling salt and vinegar potato chips. I suspect you’ll make metaphorically comparable discoveries in the coming weeks, Libra: evocative beauty that you’ve been blind to and interesting phenomena that have been hiding in plain sight. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is no such thing as a plant that blooms continuously. Phases of withering and dormancy are just as natural as phases of growth. I bring this fact to your attention to help you remain poised as you go through your own period of withering followed by dormancy. You should accept life’s demand that you slow down and explore the mysteries of fallowness. You should surrender sweetly to stasis and enjoy your time of rest and recharging. That’s the best way to prepare for the new cycle of growth that will begin in a few weeks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were ever going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids’ books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon. And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An 81-year-old Capricorn man named James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions. Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents Rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and saving thousands of lives. I don’t expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level. Harrison will serve well as your patron saint. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a spring morning some years ago, a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had built a bonfire. When I stumbled to my closet to get dressed, I found my clothes missing. There were no garments in my dresser, either. In my groggy haze, I realized that my entire wardrobe had become fuel for Anastasia’s conflagration. It was too late to intervene and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast she said she’d cooked over the flames of my burning clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in riotous fun. I’m not predicting that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius. But you may experience adventures that are almost equally boisterous, hilarious and mysterious. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve got three teachings for you. 1. Was there a time in your past when bad romance wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have more power to heal that wound than you’ve ever had before. 2. Is it possible you’re ready to shed a semi-delicious addiction to a chaotic magic? Yes. Clarity is poised to trump melodrama. Joyous decisiveness is primed to vanquish ingrained sadness. 3. Has there ever been a better time than now to resolve and graduate from past events that have bothered and drained you for a long time? No. This is the best time.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you skilled at living on the edge between the light and the dark? Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn’t help you? Can you imagine how it would feel if you loved your life just the way it is and did not wish it were different? Please note: People less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you’ll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Popbitch.com, most top-charting pop songs are in a minor key. In light of this fact, I encourage you to avoid listening to pop songs for the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, it’s essential that you surround yourself with stimuli that don’t tend to make you sad and blue, that don’t influence you to interpret your experience through a melancholic, mournful filter. To accomplish the assignments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819-1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain’s Museums, Libraries, and Archives Council accorded them “national designated status,” an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment. The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve taken a break from socializing, my fellow Cancerian. In fact, I’m on sabbatical from my regular rhythm. My goal for the coming days is to commune with my past and review the story of my life. Rather than fill my brain up with the latest news and celebrity gossip, I am meditating on my own deep dark mysteries. I’m mining for secrets that I might be concealing from myself. In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest that you follow my lead. You might want to delve into boxes of old mementoes or reread emails from years ago. You could get in touch with people who are no longer part of your life even though they were once important to you. How else could you get into intimate contact with your eternal self? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s a quote from A Map of Misreading, a book by renowned literary critic Harold Bloom: “Where the synecdoche of tessera made a totality, however illusive, the metonymy of kenosis breaks this up into discontinuous fragments.” What the cluck did Harold Bloom just say? I’m not being anti-intellectual when I declare this passage to be pretentious drivel. In the coming days, I urge you Leos to draw inspiration from my response to Bloom. Tell the truth about nonsense. Don’t pretend to appreciate jumbled or over-complicated ideas. Expose bunk and bombast. Be kind, if you can, but be firm. You’re primed to be a champion of down-to-earth communication. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A data research company, Priceonomics, suggests that Monday is the most productive day of the week and that October is the most productive month of the year. My research suggests that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often outstrip them for a six-week period during the end of each September and throughout October. Furthermore, my intuition tells me that you Virgos now have an extraordinary capacity to turn good ideas into practical action. I conclude, therefore, that you are about to embark on a surge of industrious and highquality work. (P.S.: This October has five Mondays.)
