EDITOR’S NOTE A FULL MENU Up first in this week’s Boise Weekly, we have a provocative story from a new BW contributor Hayden Seder, titled “#SafeOutside.” An active climber and hiker, Hayden drills into what she says is the often-overlooked #MeToo movement in outdoor recreation. In her story, Hayden introduces us to women who have experienced tangible fears while hiking or camping solo. “I felt something that I have never felt before in the great outdoors,” said one lifetime recreator. Find Hayden’s must-read story on page 6. Up next, I have a conversation with Andrew Cosentino, the new president of Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. On page 7, we chat about the Cosentino clan’s deep roots in healthcare (there are no fewer than six doctors in the family), the hospital’s unique intersection of faith and healing, and Cosentino’s own health crisis 21 years ago. We hope you’ve left some room this week for something tasty. On page 8 BW food guru Lex Nelson takes us along on her visit to McCall’s Shore Lodge, where some of the region’s top chefs recently competed in the “Culinary King of the Mountain” competition. For the Chopped-style challenge, each of the expert chefs was paired with a small team of amateur cooks. Now, that sounds as intriguing as it does delicious. On page 10 I’ve got a preview of the new film Transit, an alluring puzzle from one of Germany’s best new directors, Christian Petzold. In a modern adaptation of Anna Seghers’ 1944 novel of the same name, Transit shifts the original World War II-era story to the present-day dilemma of the European refugee crisis. And I have another screen feature for you on page 15. Prior to its Friday, April 12, screening at Boise’s Egyptian Theatre, I preview Bamboo and Barbed Wire, an affecting new film about the Minidoka internment camp and its ever-present relevance to the 21st century. —George Prentice, Editor

#SAFEOUTSIDE: THE RISE OF A #METOO MOVEMENT OUTDOORS Women tell their stories of harassment and discomfort on the trail HAYDEN SEDER

6 | APRIL 10-16, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

She ended her essay by encouraging women and especially men to speak up, come together and create a safer outdoors for all. Ultimately, 248 people “liked” the post, with 37 commenting and 14 sharing it on their own pages. One

out among the rest, in which a man advocated for women to carry firearms if venturing solo into the outdoors. But that posed more questions than answers: Are more weapons and escalating violence really the solution? Does

ADAM RO S ENLUND

I was in my car with my dog in Utah, trying to fall asleep despite my fear. Ten days into a solo rock climbing road trip, I had landed in St. George for the night where, unable to afford a hotel room, I had sought out BLM land where I could park for free. I had slept in my car alone with my pitbull, Otis, plenty of times; but this time I felt afraid. Nearby I had seen men drinking beer and driving their ATVs a bit wildly. Periodically, they’d also fired their guns into the air. Various worries raced through my mind: What if one of the stray bullets hit me or my dog? Had any of them seen me, parking alone for the night? What if one of them tried to break into my car? Eventually, my anxiety rubbed off on my dog, and we entered into a night-long cycle of being afraid because the other one was afraid, unsure whether some strange noise triggered our worries. In the end, both Otis and I managed to fall asleep and woke up to the morning sun. The night was a bad memory. Even though nothing had happened, it took awhile to shake off the lingering presence of fear. The fear of another person in the outdoors versus the fear of animals, weather conditions or getting lost is something that is increasingly felt by women. It hasn’t been talked about as much as other areas of the #MeToo movement, such as the entertainment industry or the office environment, but the threat is just as real. A 2017 survey by Outside magazine of 2,100 women reported that 53% of respondents said they’d been sexually harassed while recreating. When asked if any of the survey participants ever felt afraid for their safety while recreating, 66% said yes, with 34% of them saying their greatest fears were men and being assaulted or harassed. Lifetime outdoor enthusiast and solo adventurer Melissa* felt compelled to write an essay on Facebook about her own discovery of a fear of men in the outdoors. “To the men in my life:” her post began, “This weekend I felt something that I have never felt before in the great outdoors. I went on what would be an exciting first solo backpacking trip in New Mexico. After driving most of the day to the trailhead, I got out to camp and something dawned on me: This was my first night sleeping completely alone outside. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, scared even. For the first time in my life, being outside was overwhelming. I wasn’t afraid of a bear tearing into my tent, or a massive storm I couldn’t weather, or my water filter breaking, but instead, I was afraid of my fellow man.” Melissa’s Facebook post went on to describe three men camping near her who she feared had seen that she was alone and might prey on her.

“ WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE AFR AID TO GO INTO THE BACKCOUNTRY OR OUTSIDE, HOWE VER, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OPPOSITE SIDE WHERE MEN AND WOMEN TOGE THER FO STER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES PEOPLE FEELING LIKE THE Y CAN GO OUTDOORS SAFELY.” woman responded by saying, “Thank you for writing what I’ve struggled to string into words. Sharing a similar photo from a night camping alone where I too was plagued with similar feelings of fear.” A good many men who responded also expressed their support, but one comment stuck

a woman need to carry a gun everywhere she goes? And even if a woman has a firearm, will she feel capable of firing if the situation demands it? Kaylee* described herself as a climber, horse packer, mountain biker, alpine guide and allaround outdoor leader, and said that she has

always ventured into the outdoors alone and felt completely safe about it. But one particular experience changed her perspective, despite having a firearm with her. Kaylee and another female friend were on the fourth day of a twomonth horse packing trip. The two stopped to spend the night in a friend’s back barn, about two acres from the main house, giving them privacy and seclusion. At first the isolation felt desirable, said Kaylee, but it would ultimately trigger a fearful night. “There was a neighboring house around the corner,” said Kaylee. “Men from that house watched us ride in. Then, about 10 p.m. we could clearly hear them saying in threatening tones, ‘Where are those girls on the horses? They’re in that barn.’” It was dark, and neither woman had cell service in the barn. Kaylee said they heard the men get on motorcycles and drive away, and were momentarily relieved that it seemed nothing would happen. But around 2 a.m., the men came back, revved their motorcycles and said, “Let’s go get those girls,” according to Kaylee. “We were really freaked out. I’ve never been a big fan of carrying firearms, though I had them on that trip in case of a traumatic injury to a horse. But I had my gun loaded that night. I was that scared,” said Kaylee. She added that the men even had spotlights out, presumably looking for the women. Fortunately, nothing happened. But when asked whether she felt capable of using the gun, Kaylee said, “No way. It’s a double-edged sword of, ‘I have it, but what am I going to do with it?’ I would be scared out of my mind if it came down to a situation like that. I honestly don’t know what I would do.” Despite Kaylee’s experience as a mountain guide and general leader in the outdoor community, her night of fear, which occurred nearly two years ago, has stuck in her brain and influenced the feelings she now has about going into the backcountry alone. “I wish I could say it didn’t affect me and that I could move forward without having that ‘what if ’ in my brain, but it definitely has. There’s a whole new awareness factor that I don’t think I had before,” she said. Stories don’t have to be that terrifying to make a woman fear being alone in the outdoors; a catcall, a comment, even someone just walking too close can make a woman feel that her safety might be compromised. It’s perhaps more important now than ever for men and women to speak up and create safe environments, whether indoors of out. *Both “Melissa” and “Kaylee” asked that their real names not be used to protect their identities.

COURTESY SAINT ALPHONSUS HE ALTH SYSTEMS

CITIZEN ANDREW COSENTINO

The Saint Als president on the hospital’s mission and when he was the one taking doctor’s orders GEORGE PRENTICE

How did you forge your own path? I was at [University of Arizona] and wanted a weekend job. I went to the Tucson Medical Center and they hired me as a transportation attendant.

Several weeks after Andrew Cosentino became the new president of Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, he participated in what’s known as a “commissioning ceremony,” presided over by Rev. Peter Christensen, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Boise. “The most profound part is when the audience extends their hands in a blessing over you and your colleagues,” recalled Cosentino. “In all honesty, whenever I get that many people saying a prayer on my behalf, it’s very welcome. I’ll take all the help I can get.” In a rare break from his always-on-the-go schedule at Saint Als, the 58-year-old Cosentino sat down with Boise Weekly to talk about the intersection of faith and health, his roots and his family’s decision to move to Boise from Seattle, where Cosentino was Vice President of the Swedish Neuroscience Institute at the Swedish Medical Center Seattle. Tell me about your mom and dad. They emigrated from Italy. My father came to this country when he was 17 and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. When he was injured, my father became a U.S. citizen when he was in a hospital bed. After the war, he went back to Italy, met my mother and brought his new bride back to this country. Is healthcare in your DNA? It must be. I have six doctors in my family. Wait a minute…what? Emergency medicine doctors, a physical therapist, pediatricians, internal medicine, and it goes on and on. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Through my own experiences being in hospitals—and I’ve had a few lately—I know transportation attendants know just about everything, Not just the room numbers, but [they have] a real feel for the people. Why did you gravitate to physical therapy? When I was an attendant, I kept taking so many patients back to PT, watching their progress and witnessing therapists’ relationships

Can I assume that it was a pickup game? It was. I was taking a rebound and got my legs cut out from underneath me. I came down and did a perfect hip pointer on my left hip—so perfect that the femur split the acetabulum of my pelvis in two. I couldn’t move. I was no longer the therapist. I was the patient. It healed over the course of several months. Fourteen years later, the hip was buckling, so I put myself in the hands of a wonderful orthopedic surgeon who transformed my life. That was seven years ago. Today, when I walk around town, I honestly can’t tell you the difference between my left and right hip. Would you mind sharing a bit about your family? I met my wife Amy in, of all places, a pub in Tucson, Arizona. She was born and raised in Spain, and was only in town for a few weeks, visiting family. That was 22 years ago. We have

“PEOPLE COME HERE BECAUSE THE Y ’RE SUFFERING. TO BE ENTRUSTED WITH THEIR CARE AT A MOMENT WHEN THE Y ’RE MOST VULNER ABLE IS RE ALLY A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR. IN OUR MINISTRY, WE VIE W THAT AS A SACRED ENVIRONMENT. I SENSED THAT FROM THE FIRST MOMENT THAT I WALKED THROUGH THESE DOORS.” with their patients. I pursued that, went to the University of Iowa where I finished up my undergraduate degree, and got my graduate certificate in Physical Therapy at the University of Iowa [Carver] College of Medicine.

a son, Nick, finishing his junior year in high school. He’s learning to snowboard, plays football and runs track. He also likes the culinary arts. Some nights, my wife and I will come home, and Nick will cook dinner.

Have you ever experienced your own health crisis? Wow, yes. The one that comes to mind was when I was 37. It was the last game of basketball I ever played.

All that said, moving to a new city is a pretty big deal for a 17-year-old. We had what we called a “family discernment.” I said, “Hey, Dad’s got this opportunity. It’s something I’d be privileged to be a part of,

and it’s the right time for me to do this now. I’d love to have you come with me, Nick, and do this thing together.” It wasn’t lacking any emotion. He’s finishing out the school year in Seattle with his mom. Soon enough, we’ll all be in Boise. I’m always interested in any conversation where faith and the secular world intersect, so I want to take advantage of the opportunity talk about Saint Als’ mission. This year is an important milestone: 125 years [since] the Sisters of the Holy Cross formed this ministry and established the very first hospital in Boise. People come here because they’re suffering. To be entrusted with their care at a moment when they’re most vulnerable is really a privilege and an honor. In our ministry, we view that as a sacred environment. I sensed that from the first moment that I walked through these doors. I have walked through these same doors to say goodbye to people at their life’s end, and I’ve also helped welcome newborns here. You can’t not be affected by that. It’s an extraordinary place of life. I started out as a clinician and am still a licensed physical therapist. I don’t actively treat patients, but I can tell you that my encounters with patients are the most uplifting parts of my week. We’re talking more about healthcare now than at any time in our nation’s history. Yet, some of those conversations can become political and occasionally divisive. I think the public at large understands that the current path that we’re on is not sustainable. There has to be a collective, rational, collaborative approach to a solution. We have to go forward, create access for all and create value for the patient. I think all too often special interests get in the way of that dialogue.

L E X N E L SON

GREETING THE GREAT DIVIDE BREWING CO. While new to the Treasure Valley, this Colorado-based brewery has been around for a quarter of a century. Founded by Brian Dunn, it was one of only a handful of breweries in Denver at the time, but from the beginning, its beers took home top awards. Success led to increased demand, and the beer has finally found its way to Boise. Here’s a trio to try: CLAYMORE SCOTCH ALE, $1.89—$2.19 A dense, three-finger tan head tops this dark, ruby-tinged ale. The aromas of freshbaked fruit cake include date, candied cherry, currant, brown sugar and baking spices. It opens with flavors of creamy caramel malt with touches of cocoa, coffee, smoke and spice. This is a warming brew that’s just the thing to provide solace against the damp days of spring. COLETTE FARMHOUSE ALE, $1.89—$2.19 A hazy, straw-colored brew, it’s topped with a generous, porous head that settles quickly into a thin ring of lacing. A hint of clove colors the lemon drop aromas, backed by a whiff of fresh-cut hay. Light banana notes add interest to the ripe citrus flavors along with touches of pepper and spice. The finish is dry and just slightly sour. HEYDEY MODERN IPA, $1.89—$2.19 This beer pours a cloudy shade of lemon peel with a tight-knit, thin head that clings to the glass as it collapses. Slightly bitter, very floral hops dominate the nose, followed by notes of tropical fruit. You get a burst of orange up front on the palate, punctuated by bitter citrus zest that carries through to the softer, almost creamy finish. —David Kirkpatrick 8 | APRIL 10-16, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

CHOPPING THROUGH THE COMPETITION Chef Justin Scheihing of Boise’s Mai Thai wins Culinary King of the Mountain LE X NEL SON With 30 minutes still frozen on the clock, four Boise chefs stood at attention in the conference room of McCall’s Shore Lodge, a space recently transformed to look like the set of the Food Network TV show Chopped. Wearing their aprons and chefs’ whites, with cutting boards waiting in front of them, they were there to cook their way through a nearly three-hour competition in hopes of earning the title Culinary King of the Mountain. To the left sat three judges—The Grill Dads co-host Mark Anderson, Lucky Fins Corporate Executive Chef Wiley Earl and Duckhorn Vineyards Winemaker Renee Ary—their expertly honed taste buds at the ready to try plated appetizers, entrees and desserts. “We anticipate everything will be really outstanding because it always is—no pressure,” said Alan Turner, a retired chef and the event’s emcee, addressing the chefs and a crowd of 50 onlookers. For the sixth year of the Shore Lodge Culinary Festival, the King of the Mountain event had pulled all of its star power from Boise. Facing off were Chef Franck Bacquet of Bacquet’s; Chef Vern Bauer of Bishop Kelly High School; Chef Justin Scheihing of Mai Thai and Chef Christopher Zahn of Zee’s Rooftop. To complicate the competition, each would cook with assistance from two amateurs, who had paid to enter into the contest, and incorporate a handful of surprise ingredients, concealed in baskets until the clock started, into their dishes. When the countdown for the first course began, each chef leapt to his wicker basket, unloading live soft-shell crabs, yellow beets, soy chorizo and boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix—just a taste of the oddball ingredients to come.

“The only problem with this is saving room for the next dishes,” Anderson told Scheihing after dipping into his tempura crab-topped curry-lemongrass soup. “I would love to live in that broth.” After each round, the chef whose dish impressed the judges the least with its flavor, appearance and creativity was “chopped,” a decision dramatically revealed to the audience from beneath silver dome lid. The first to go was Chef Zahn, whose deconstructed Tex-Mex soft-shell crab salad was felled by undercooked beets, then Chef Bauer, whose “land and sea” entree of elk meatballs in port wine sauce and orange zest-topped razor clams was chopped because the latter was judged to be “a little too al dente” by Anderson and Ary. “When I was much younger I thought, ‘Oh, I need to have the title and I must get all the championships,’” Bauer told BW after bowing out, citing past accolades for his chocolate, chili and wings. “...but it was empty. They were victories that were won just for me.” In contrast, he said he’d made the trip to McCall to spotlight the students in BK’s culinary club, and was there specifically in the name of Cayden Arroyo, a 16-year-old who died of brain cancer. Despite being chopped, Bauer was buoyed by the fact that after each course, chefs’ dishes were auctioned off to the audience to benefit the McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation, and his meatball dish alone had fetched $100. That left two chefs to battle it out over dessert: Bacquet, whose expertise in French cooking had carried him through the first two rounds with ease, and Scheihing, who had

wowed the judges with dishes inspired by his restaurant’s Asian cuisine. The final face-off was quieter than those that had come before, frantic calls of “Behind!” and dashes to the pantry for apron-loads of mushrooms replaced by the sizzle of frying baby bananas and the rasp of port-infused cheddar against a grater (two mystery basket ingredients, joining fig Triscuits and pound cake). With just under two minutes left on the clock, both chefs stepped back from their plates to whistles and applause, revealing an alcoholic syrup-soaked pound cake topped with raspberry compote on Bacquet’s, moated by cheese-infused sauce, a fig Triscuit crumble and a fried banana. At Scheihing’s station were slices of butter-fried pound cake soaking in pools of lime leaf, lemongrass and cheddar custard, and crowned with fig Triscuit-battered fried bananas. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Scheihing told BW while the judges deliberated. Asked if he thought his team would take home the title he said, “I think we are.” Scheihing was right: After 15 minutes of discussion, the judges crowned him Culinary King of the Mountain, citing his appetizer as the day’s best dish and crediting it for edging him past Bacquet, though they had preferred the French chef ’s dessert. “What are you going to do? Always in a competition, the judges decide,” said Bacquet, accepting defeat with a shrug. The event marked his first timed cook-off in the U.S., although he’d already competed in Germany. “...It’s okay, second place is okay,” he said as attendees offered congratulations. “I won’t cry.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PH OTOS COURTESY K ATE STODDARD

THE LEGGY SPICE OF LIFE

Salmon, Idaho-based Orchestra Provisions makes spice blends with crickets LE X NEL SON

While studying for a graduate degree in nutrition at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, Idahoan Kate Stoddard came across a nugget of information that would change her life—and the food on her plate—for good. “I had a project on iron deficiency anemia, and I just kind of randomly dug up all of this science and research about eating insects, and in particular a tribe in Africa that has never battled iron deficiency anemia, and yet they’re kind of hunter-gatherer folks that don’t eat meat at all,” said Stoddard. Delving deeper into the tribe’s culture and habits, she found the answer to their immunity: They regularly chow down on bugs. “Sure enough, they have this local caterpillar that gets the job done. It’s really shelf-stable, so they dehydrate it and make these cakes. And I was just thinking, ‘God, that is such an easy fix,’” she said. That research, combined with a 2013 United Nations report advocating eating insects as a solution to world hunger, led Stoddard to start her own company with the goal of easing Americans into eating bugs. Called “Orchestra Provisions” after the name for a group of crickets, the company sells spice blends spiked with protein-rich cricket powder sourced from Cowboy Cricket Farms in Belgrade, Montana. “Nobody in the marketplace was making a spice mix, which I thought was like a nobrainer, because if you’re trying to get people BOISE WEEKLY.COM

into it, it’s hard to just throw a whole cricket at someone, into their food, and have them be pretty pumped about it. But if you could make it so that people didn’t see it, or taste it, or smell it, they might become more open to it,” Stoddard said. She calls her method “the baby steps approach.” Right now, Orchestra Provisions sells eight spice mixes—Cajun-wings, chai-spice, curry powder, Himalayan sea-salt, pico-grillo, Sichuan cracked pepper, togarashi and za’atar— through its website, orchestraprovisions.com, and at small grocery stores in Idaho and Montana. Several restaurants use the blends, too, and Stoddard said Roots Zero Waste Market in Garden City plans to stock them in bulk. Stoddard’s business is only eight months old, and she still makes the blends herself out of the kitchen in Oddfellows’ Bakery. Still, she has her eye on a bright, bug-filled future. After learning about ecoBalance Farms in Hagerman, the first cricket farm in Idaho to raise the insects for human consumption, Stoddard said she’s optimistic about someday sourcing crickets in Salmon, making her product even more local and sustainable. Demand appears to be on the rise, too. “I talked to my supplier and he said, ‘Well, right now we’re just having a hard time providing enough product, because we’re having people order 100 pounds, 200 pounds at a time,’” she said. Asked if she sees a full-on movement toward eating bugs in the U.S., Stoddard didn’t hesitate: “I know it’s happening.” BOISEWEEKLY | APRIL 10-16, 2019 | 9

Soon after German-Jewish expatriate writer Anna Seghers’ Transit was published in 1944, the socialist-realist novel was compared to Casablanca—the Humphrey Bogart/Ingrid Bergman sensation that had won the Best Picture Oscar just a few months prior. Transit’s 1940s story swirled around a protagonist buffeted by the misfortunes of his everymanness in the shadow of a rising tide of fascism. But three-quarters of a century later, German director Christian Petzold’s much-anticipated adaptation of the Seghers novel can’t be confused with a World War II-era movie filmed on the Warner Bros. backlot. Yes, Transit’s set pieces, wardrobe and transit options Paula Beer and Franz Rogowski co-star in Transit. (primarily rail or ship) are time-ambiguous, and there’s not a cellphone in sight.

FIRST ARTS CRAWL IN BOISE’S CULTURAL DISTRICT

PICKIN’ BOISE VINTAGE & ARTISAN SHOW

You’ve heard of art crawls and pub crawls, but what about culture crawls? Though they’re calling it an “Arts Crawl,” the upcoming collaboration between Ballet Idaho, Boise Contemporary Theater, The Boise Philharmonic and Opera Idaho is truly a cultural experience, weighted with theater, music and dance. Slated for Friday, April 12, the event will be the ﬁrst of its kind in the City of Trees: Patrons will gather at the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy for snacks and drinks, then split into groups and pinball across downtown for four 15-minute performances, one from each organization, before reuniting. Ticket sale proceeds go to CATCH, a nonproﬁt assisting those experiencing homelessness. 6 p.m., $25. Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy, 516 S. Ninth St., 208-3459116, visit boiseartscrawl.ticketleap.com/ boiseartscrawl.

Pickin’ Boise is a hub for those nostalgic for days gone by, and it’s the perfect place to snag quirky vintage and handmade goods, from yard signs and soaps to jewelry and upcycled decor. Last year Pickin’ co-founders Brenda and Ron Buckingham moved to Nampa from Washington, making this year’s display of 200-plus vendors at Expo Idaho a local affair. In a press release, Brenda wrote, “It not only gives local Idaho vintage curators and artisans a place to promote their goods, thus helping the local economy, but it is also a chance to bring in unique one-of-a-kind items from other vendors who travel from as far away as Arizona and Southern California.” Plus, once you’re in you can come and go all weekend. Noon-9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. FREE-$7. Expo Idaho, 5610 N. Glenwood St., pastblessingsfarm.com.

ZOO BOISE

Though it’s likely just over 50 years old, poutine has already become a food of Canadian legend. One tale has it that the combination of cheese curds, fries and gravy originated in Quebec’s Le Lutin Qui Rit restaurant in the 1950s, when a customer requested curds atop their fries. The restaurant’s owner replied, “Ca va faire une maudite poutine,” which loosely translates to, “That’s going to make a dreadful mess.” Messy or no, poutine has been absorbed into the Canadian lifestyle, and Americans love it, too. So on Thursday, April 11—aka National Poutine Day—Garden City’s Split Rail Winery will partner up with Boise food stand Crisp to craft a poutine and wine pairing. For $18, Split Rail says you can “do your part to show poutine how much you love it.” 5 p.m., $18. Split Rail Winery, 4338 W. Chinden Blvd., Garden City, 208-490-0681, brownpapertickets.com.

CALENDAR EXTRA DRINK THE EMPIRE BEER FOR RECORD STORE DAY

C O U RTESY WO O D L A N D E M PI RE

Record stores tend to be embattled places in movies. In the charming indie film Hearts Beat Loud (2018), starring Nick Offerman and Kiersey Clemons, a father-daughter duo lands a viral hit, even as the record store that has put food on their table gets priced out of the neighborhood. Empire Record Store Day is Saturday, April 13, but you can start celebrating on Thursday, April 11. Records puts a finer point on it. Released in 1995, it’s the story of misfit record store employees’ last hurrah and rebellion against the music store chain threatening to turn their mom-and-pop shop into a corporate monstrosity. “Empire Records is a cult classic and one of the shining stars of record store movies,” said Chad Dryden, marketing manager at The Record Exchange in Boise. “It’s something that pretty much everybody on staff has seen—our customers love it.” This year, the connection between the cult ‘90s flick and Boise’s indie record store will be more than skin deep. On Thursday, April 11, Woodland Empire will screen the film in conjunction with the release of its “Damn the Man, Drink the Empire Beer” tropical IPA with pineapple—a collaboration between the brewery and the music shop for the lead-up to its 12th-annual Record Store Day. (The event starts at 7 p.m., and the $5 tickets to the screening include a beer token.) “Given the name ‘Woodland Empire’ and Empire Records, it seemed like a natural fit for these worlds to come together,” Dryden said. The following day, the beer and tunes will be free when The RX hosts a Record Store Day listening party. Used music and videos will be on sale. The main event will be on Saturday, April 13, and The RX has pulled out all the stops, throwing events all day and releasing 400 limited-edition Record Store Day exclusives. The biggie will be an instore set by Boise-based band a.k.a. Belle, which will perform songs of its new album, Sagebrush Athenians (self-released, 2019). The album officially drops on Saturday, May 4, but fans can pick up advance copies on Record Store Day. —Harrison Berry 18 | APRIL 10-16, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

BLAC RABBIT, NEUROLUX, APRIL 16

It’s a story often heard in New York City: A musician starts by playing music in the subway for loose change, then graduates to fulltime stardom after being “discovered” by a random passerby with the right job or a smartphone. The tale of how Blac Rabbit came to be is a riff on that big-city classic. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, twins Amiri and Rahiem Taylor did indeed begin their careers on the platform, and a viral video of them performing Beatles covers onboard a train catapulted them to notoriety, bringing TV show appearances and ad spots. But by the time of their “discovery,” the duo and their bandmates had already released the EP Blac Rabbit (self-released, 2017). Now, the atmospheric psych-rock group is on tour to promote its ﬁrst full-length album, Interstella (How Far Music), which is set to drop this spring. “Seize the Day,” released in advance of the album, promises a rolicking show, with spacey vocals butting up against foot-tapping drum lines and electric guitar riffs. —Lex Nelson With Aaron Golay. 8:30 p.m., $12-$14.

MINERVA’S BREAKDOWN N $GYLFH IRU WKRVH H RQ WKH YHUJH FOOD FOR THOUGHT DEAR MINERVA, I am a plus-sized person and I see all of these diets that seem to make great differences for people. It seems like every other person I see on social media is on the keto diet. For every one of those people there is someone making fun of it or any number of other diets. I’m stressed out and need to make a change but I don’t know what to believe. Help! —Sincerely, Hungry Girl

Special • $30 FULL BODY • HOT OIL 6am-6pm & by appt Feel like a real man! MALE ONLY

Call 208-880-5772 I Travel Private Boise Studio

DEAR HUNGRY GIRL, Social media can be great for many things, but because of the very nature of how information is shared, it’s hard to separate fact from ﬁction. Social media is also a judgmental place where people often try to play expert. Diets come and go, and what is successful for one person isn’t necessarily successful for another. I would ignore what you see online about diets. It is your body! Don’t engage casually with others online about it. Work with your doctor to determine the best approach for what you’d like to achieve for your body and your circumstances. Health isn’t usually discernible by the naked eye alone. By getting a health care professional involved, you can explore your own dietary needs without people chiming in with criticism or suggestions. Loving your body in all of its forms will help you get to where you want to be. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself on this journey. I wish you the best of luck on reaching your goals!

LUNATEC AQUABOT SPORT WATER BOTTLE Every camper knows this feeling: It’s just after a meal and you’re ready to pack up the dirty dishes, but there’s no running water in sight to wash them. Pouring a sad stream from your run-of-the-mill water bottle is one option, but outdoor gear provider Lunatec has a better one: Use the Aquabot Sport Water Bottle, a next-level vessel that has a built-in high-pressure jet (no batteries necessary) for just such occasions. It also has a misting feature for on-the-trail cooldowns and a shower spray option for hosing off in a pinch, all with ﬂow control built in. The Aquabot Sport looks just like a typical water bottle—and you can drink out of it like one, too. Plus, it works upside down, and the over 25-foot reach of its stream will inevitably start (and end) some very mature water ﬁghts. —Lex Nelson $30-$32, amazon.com.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Qing Dynasty controlled China from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century. It was the fifthbiggest empire in world history. But eventually it faded, as all mighty regimes do. Revolution came in 1911, forcing the last emperor to abdicate and giving birth to the Republic of China. I’m inclined to think of your life in 2019 as having some similarities to that transition. It’s the end of one era and the beginning of another—a changing of the guard and a passing of the torch. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to be very active in deciding and visualizing the empire you want next. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that sometime soon you’ll acquire a new source of support or inspiration. Now is a phase of your astrological cycle when you’re likely to attract influences that are in alignment with your deep values. This addition might be a person or animal. It could be a vibrant symbol or useful tool. It may even be a fantasy character or departed ancestor that will stimulate vitality you haven’t been able to summon on your own. Be on the lookout for this enhancement. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet David Hinton analyzed the Chinese word for “poetry.” Its etymological meaning is “words spoken at the fertility altar.” Let’s make that your theme, even if you don’t write or read poetry. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to take a vow or utter a solemn intention in front of a homemade fertility altar. The oath you speak might express a desire to boost your use of your physical vitality: your lust for life, your adoration of the natural world, or your power to produce new human life. Or your vow to foster your fertility could be more metaphorical and symbolic in nature: the imaginative intimacy you will explore, the creativity you’ll express in future works of art or the generous effects you want to have on the world. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Christopher Robin Milne was the son of author A. A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He said there are two ways to navigate through life. Either you “take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it.” So in his view, “There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push.” I’m hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you will make a delighted commitment to the first option: taking a bearing on something in the future and steering towards it. I think that approach will inspire you toward the most interesting success. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The national animal of Finland is the brown bear. The national insect is the ladybug and the national instrument is a stringed instrument known as the kantele. As for the national author, it’s Aleksis Kivi, who produced just one novel that took him 10 years to write. He also published a short collection of odes and a few plays, adding up to a grand total of less than 800 pages of work. I think that the efforts you make in the coming weeks could have a disproportionately large impact as well, Leo. What you lack in quantity will be irrelevant compared to the sheer quality you generate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I follow the blogger Evanescent Voyager because she makes me cry with sad joy and exultant poignance on a regular basis. One of her other fans wrote her a love note I could have written myself. It said, “Your emotional brilliance and thoughtful passion break me into pieces and then weave me back together with more coherence than I had before reading you. I revere your alchemical talent for undoing me so you can heal me; for lowering my defenses so I can be open to your riches; for demolishing my habitual trance so you can awaken my sleeping genius.” I believe that in the coming weeks, life itself will offer to perform these same services for you, Virgo. I urge you to accept!

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BY ROB BREZSNY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Love is no assignment for cowards.” That’s a quote attributed to the ancient Roman poet Ovid. What did he mean? Was he foreshadowing the wisdom of pop singer Pat Benatar, who in 1983 told us, “Love is a battlefield”? Was Ovid implying that to succeed in the amorous arts we must be heroic warriors prepared to overcome fears and risk psychological dangers? Probably. But I will also point out that it takes as much courage to create fun, interesting togetherness as it does to wrestle with the problems that togetherness brings. You need just as much bravura and panache to explore the sweet mysteries of intimacy as you do to explore the achy mysteries of intimacy. Keep these thoughts in mind as you marshal your audacity to deepen and expand your best relationships in the coming weeks. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The literal meaning of the French term jolie-laide is “pretty and ugly.” Bloggers at wordsnquotes.com define it as follows: “It’s a fascinating quirkiness that’s irresistible, like a face you want to keep looking at even if you can’t decide whether it is beautiful or not. Jolie-laide overlaps with the Japanese term wabisabi, which describes a person or thing that is lovely because of its imperfection and incompleteness. I bring these facts to your attention because I think you have extraordinary potential to be a master embodier of both jolie-laide and wabi-sabi in the coming weeks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As Czech playwright Vaclav Havel (1936–2011) matured, he became a political dissident who opposed the Soviet Union’s authoritarian grip on his country. Eventually he was a key player in the Velvet Revolution that banished Communism. When Czechoslovakia emerged as a new democracy, its people elected him president. Havel later thanked Lou Reed and the band The Velvet Underground for fully awakening his liberationist leadership. He said their unruly music stoked his longing to establish a culture where total creative freedom was possible. I mention this, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to identify the music, art, films or literature that might fuel your emancipation in the coming months. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author J. R. R. Tolkien toiled on his masterpiece The Lord of the Rings for 12 years. Once he finished, it wasn’t published for more than five years. So 17 years passed between the time he launched his precious project and the time when it reached an audience. I don’t think you will need that much patience in shepherding your own venture to full expression, Capricorn. But I hope you’ll summon as much faith in yourself as Tolkien had to rouse in himself. To do so will bring out the best in you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Released in 1998, The Prince of Egypt is an animated film that tells the story of the Hebrew prophet Moses. In the climactic event, the hero parts the waters of the Red Sea, allowing his people to run across the sea floor and escape the army that’s chasing them. To make that seven-minute scene, 28 professional animators labored for 318,000 hours. In the coming months, you could create your own version of that marvel, Aquarius. But you’ll need a team to help you, and that team is not yet ready to go. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get it ready, though. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean businessman Steve Jobs testified that taking LSD was “one of the two or three most important things” he ever did in his life. It opened his mind in ways he felt were crucial to his development. What are the three most important things you’ve ever done, Pisces? I invite you to revisit at least one of them, and see if you can take it to the next step of its power to inspire you. What if it has even more to offer you in your efforts to become the person you want to be?
