The Front Porch opens where Chez Pierre closed

Midtown District

The Front Porch owner Chad Kittrell (left center) and Managing Partner Marc Bauer cut the ribbon on the newly opened restaurant on Oct 30, flanked by ambassadors of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. This new locally-sourced seafood restaurant officially opened on October 30 with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Formerly home to Chez Pierre, an iconic French restaurant, the 1920s Victorian home underwent months of remodeling and the expansion of its wrap-around porch. It now provides space for 300 diners in the pedestrian-friendly center of the Midtown District. The kitchen is under the culinary leadership of Chef Joe Rego,

former winner of Food Network’s cooking show, “Chopped.” The restaurant is a project of Hunter and Harp, the local company behind Hotel Duval, Level 8 Lounge, Le roc Bistro, Alchemy, Midtown Filling Station, and others. The Front Porch hosts a Happy Hour Monday thru Friday from 3-7pm. 1215 Thomasville Rd., 32303. FrontPorchTallahassee.com

There was a time not that long ago when Tennessee and Monroe Streets were the heart of Tallahassee. With no interstate until 1975, everyone traveled to town on Florida’s tourist highway, U.S. 27, and the path was defined by locally owned businesses, run by unique people and sometimes very colorful characters. Skyline Motor Lounge pays tribute to some of those special places, people, and a time when Tallahassee took things a bit slower.

Gone Looking For America: What did you find?

e’ll be glad on Tuesday when this seemingly perpetual election cycle is over, and while we’re glad that America has taken the opportunity to debate ideas and policy, at some point the country will have to get back to actually exercising ideas and policy. And while we love a good political saga as much as (if not more than) the rest, what could we say about any of the races in this election that hasn’t already been said. But when contributor extraordinaire Paul Haney returned from his summer trip across America, he brought with him this on-point essay that takes a step back from the biting political divisiveness, pauses for some perspective, and searches for what it is that really unites us all anymore. And it’s just in time for election day. Story & photos by Paul Haney This past summer, after earning a Master’s in Literature from FSU, I purchased a 45-day Amtrak rail pass with the intention of setting out on the rails to look for America. I made a travel-writing project out of my quest, maintaining during the trip a blog of ramblings, musings, pictures, videos and postcards and promising a comprehensive essay at the end enumerating what exactly I found. With this idea I set up a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo.com and cobbled together almost $3,000 from friends,

family, professors, acquaintances and strangers. These funds, plus some leftover student loan money, propelled me to the furthest corners of the contiguous United States, thrust me into homeland cultures foreign to myself, and carried me home again. Like Kerouac and Cassady before me, like characters from Dylan’s and Simon’s songs, I went to look for America. To the best of my knowledge and memory, this is what I found: I found not one monolithic America, but a plenitude of smaller Americas, distinct pockets where landforms influence the inhabitants as much as the cultural heritage. The professors of liberty in New England who trace their roots so easily back to the colonial era. The outdoorsmen of Michigan, Utah and Colorado whose states offer veritable pleasure palaces for the active. The Blackfoot Indians straying from the rolling auburn plains of their reservation to the only saloon in East Glacier, Montana. The international seaport of Seattle with her Pike Place Market serving every craft and cuisine of the Pacific Rim. Progressive Portland, where bicycles rule the road and local business thrives. The immense Bay Area of California sifting her people into their proper places — the urbanites of The City, intellectuals of Berkeley, business travelers of Emeryville. The friendliest folk in the forgotten corner of middle America, Kansas City, MO, whose landscape gives them nothing to brag about. Texas with her wide city sprawls, her wide toothy grins, her wide commitment to the second amendment. The delta land of NOLA and her tourist economy, her perpetual party. Americans react to the landscapes, cultures, and climates surrounding them. They preserve tradition while simultaneously modernizing their inheritance. I found a country racing to keep up with a modernizing and digitizing world. No other issue stretches the seams between generations like the rise of digital

A street festival in Portland, OR, described by some as a place where 20year-olds go to retire. media: computer literacy, smart phones and texting, e-readers and the decline of print. People on the train and throughout the cities expressed misgivings over losing the world of paper, ink, and longterm attention spans (have you, reader, even read this far?). Meanwhile, I cued up my smart phone a dozen times a day to steer myself, via foot, bus, subway, bike, or car, in the most efficient manner to my destination. Sometimes I didn’t even have a destination, only a sense that I wanted, say, a coffee shop with Wi-Fi, or a New Orleans po’boy. I’d pull up the navigation app, press the microphone icon, say what I wanted, and all around my exact location on the map a cluster of results would appear. With a smart phone, if you can afford the data, travel is easy. I can’t remember a time I had to ask for directions. I found an America searching for a new direction in the debate over gun control. The shootings in Aurora happened in week three of my eight-week trip and spurred a national conversation. Those international travelers I hung out with in Seattle couldn’t fathom how a man could stockpile all those weapons legally while many Americans, including our Seattle tour guide and the Houstonite I met on the train to NOLA, used the Batman shootings to demonstrate that more

Americans need to arm themselves and protect our communities from their lunatic members. I found a host of Americans puffed up with pride over their home towns. Never did I detrain to a local telling me, “Might as well get back on the train. Nothing happening here.” Americans love their cities, love what they’ve built, are proud of the history and heritage, museums and monuments, music and cuisine. We are a proud people, I found, proud of what we’ve built here and what we’ve accomplished worldwide in terms of foreign relations. On home soil, American pride takes the form of political dissent. We know that our government does not operate with an efficiency commensurate with citizens as resourceful and demanding as ourselves. It seems most Americans — from the Atlantic to the Pacific to Texas — agree that the media obfuscates the real center of American politics, that a vote for the right or the left is a vote for the same big money that landed us in this current down economy, that corporations are not people nor should we consider them so. Americans, especially in this election year, feel helpless to the grips of Big Business and voiceless before the Great Political Machine. >>>

<<< Cont’d from previous page There’s a real sense of desperation out there. Folks can’t believe how many jobs have been shipped overseas, how little a B.A. means these days. Young people are torn between struggling at a vocation that allows them to express themselves and opting for a job in business and industry where individuality is squashed but paychecks and benefits guaranteed. Of course, older generations want the youth to take the easy route, go for the security, pay ourselves into Medicare and Social Security even though those programs probably won’t be around when we go to retire. But the youth shouts back, “What did you do with our jobs? Where have you sent our opportunities? Why should I contribute to a cause — The Cause — that isn’t mine?” I can’t help but politicize my journey. All over the country, people on the train insisted on talking politics: with me, with each other, with themselves. However, the political winds must change, and ours is only one day’s condition in the weather patterns of polemics. Such is the transitory nature of America and her people. Constantly changing, evolving. But there must be some permanent aspects of the country to suss out, some eternal truths I discovered on my trip. A more measurable America resides in steadfast clusters of music. We are a people who perform, who go to our instruments, who experiment with and express through sound. Folk and Americana, blues and jazz survive and blend into new forms, sometimes synthesized forms, even while the music industry does its best to commercialize, capitalize, and corporatize American music. There will always exist undercurrents of traditional and innovative music, original compositions played live by those who understand the power of performance, the ability for music to interpret and color experience. I saw it in the subways of NYC, the streets of Portland, the bars of Austin. American music remains on the move. Meanwhile a craft beer revolution is happening across the nation. Some cities have more than others, but every city wants a good craft brewery to ply their

people. I went to the Oregon Brewer’s Festival with Pat in Portland and waded among thousands of hop heads high on suds. Then I went to Colorado where craft breweries are a point of pride. And these beers get shipped all across the nation. No longer must we drink the watered-down pilsners of the nation’s leading distributors, but choice is at hand — IPAs, stouts, red ales, wheats — and our funds go toward artisan brewers, their employees and their families, who take pride in what we drink. It really is a good time to be a beer drinker in America, despite what less beer-enthused portions of the population might think. And those detractors from good-time indulgence are plentiful. Salt Lake City’s alcohol laws are so convoluted that I had a half-dozen residents explain them to me and still don’t fully understand. 3.2% max at the grocery. 4% from a tap. At some establishments you must buy a full meal if you want to drink, though bottled beer comes strong, cheap, and local. It’s a religious thing, of course, and America is a decidedly religious country. Mormons and Protestants, Catholics and Baptists, the sects come in great numbers with manifold variations in their beliefs. Perhaps our strength lies in our faith, in our resiliency, in our belief in God’s great design. We are, of course, as the Pilgrims believed, the City on a Hill, the shining example of exceptionalism (notice I didn’t say acceptionalism) for the world to see. Some of us also believe in an impending apocalypse as forecasted in the book of Revelations, disavow scientifically approved theories like evolution and global warming, and punish the land for its brazenness to appear more beautiful than ourselves who flounder in our father’s image. America certainly is a beautiful land. She holds river valleys and mountain ranges, deserts and rain forests, grassy plains and aqua-blue shorelines spotted with islands. The train will haul you along each of these landforms so you can see it for

yourself and realize the diverse artistry of geological movements in North America. I think Americans overlook, or purposely ignore, the wealth of our landscape. Every American, before traveling to Europe, should set out to view the national parks, the small communities built into gargantuan landmasses, the large cities of America jutting upward and sprawling outward to rival those cities we came from generations ago, and the oceans and mountains we traversed to get here. The story of the American landscape is the story of our people; the history of our train lines is the history of our heritage. While on this journey, as it must be with every journey, I set out not only to find America, but to find something of myself, something more than the 28year-old with a college transcript littered with literature courses, a vague sense of spirituality, an admiration for Carl Sagan, a 5-handicap. I found kinship, from not only the friends who put me up (or put up with me) along the way, but from those who helped me prepare, who donated to my campaign, who wished me well and urged me along. Now I challenge you, reader: get out there and look for your own America. Travel by train, car or bus; walk, hike or

Mortal Challenges for Terror of Tallahassee Last year Villager discussed the potential gentrification of the seasonal thrill, Terror of Tallahassee, North Florida’s largest haunted house, due to the need for apartments and parking in “College Town.” According to Kurt Kuersteiner, the creative mind and manager behind the haunted house, it looks like the Haunt, full of ghosts, ghouls, vampires, and other undead creatures, is going to — pun intended — live to see another day. This is not the first time that the Haunt has tread such murky waters; in fact, Kuersteiner’s first haunted endeavor, The Mystery Playhouse of Terror, was sold back in 2002. Despite this setback, he persisted in seeking out a new location and ultimately settled on renting the current location on Gaines Street (ironically enough, he bought out another haunted house). Though the Haunt is only open for select nights in October and November, Kuersteiner puts a lot of work into the Haunt year-round to keep it spruced up and clean for the next Halloween season. “I go in every week,” Kuersteiner says, “but I also work on it at home, dreaming up new illusions and ideas.” The amount of effort that goes into such a small local business is astonishing. The Haunt plays — again, pun intended — like a community theater in that volunteers come as many nights as they can during the season to put on their best performance by scaring, and

coincidentally scarring, the masses. In fact, the volunteers do it for their love of the Haunt, not for money, not for résumé building, and not for free giveaways, such as T-shirts and bumper stickers. Instead, they do it because they know it is a special place that has lasting memories, but is ephemeral, something that doesn’t last forever, and they want to make the most of that experience, just like the patrons of the Haunt every year. Kuersteiner mentions that the Haunt does not like to ask for donations because “[the Haunt] likes to earn its money, even the donations.” He even says that they “currently have an offer for any rich benefactor to require their heirs to survive a full night in our haunted house or else leave their share of the estate to [the Haunt].” Despite being the only haunted house in America to offer this ultimatum, so far, there have been no takers. Though the biggest night for the haunted house is Halloween, of course, the Haunt offers special coupons and events for other days to encourage patrons to attend on the less busy nights. The last night of the Haunt’s season this year is Saturday, November 3, 2012, and it is a special night because it is the annual “Lights Out Night.” On this night, all the lights are turned off, and brave souls are encouraged to venture solo through the Haunt, armed with nothing but a glow stick, if they dare. If they make it through the entire Haunt, pa-

Remember, though the Haunt seems to be sticking — again, another pun — around, its days are numbered, so the opportunity to experience both the normal version of the Haunt and the “Lights Out Night” version of the Haunt will not last forever.

And between The Mystery Playhouse of Terror and Terror of Tallahassee, this is the 13th season for Kuersteiner in the haunted house business, just to intensify the Haunt even more, especially for its 13th year. Kuersteiner, on the future of the haunt, says, “Every town has something unique that people look back on and remember fondly when it’s gone … It’s something special that people who didn’t visit regret missing … Our haunt days are numbered because we’re so close to campus.” The near future is not so bad, it seems. At least, according to Kuersteiner, it looks like “[the Haunt] will be okay for next year, but beyond that is uncertain.” What patrons see in the Haunt is enigmatic; what lies ahead for the future of the Haunt is enigmatic, and all the mystery just makes the haunted perspective a little spookier.

Locally Owned prepares holiday campaign, recruiting new members Locally Owned Tallahassee, the city’s independent business alliance, is gearing up for a Shop Local Holiday Campaign that will launch at the end of November, and the group is also reaching out to locally owned businesses to increase its membership rolls. The organization recently announced several new initiatives aimed at growing support of the local business culture. These include: creating a new 5-year campaign to replace “Sassy Squirrel”, which has been the group’s mascot for several years; Achieving 50% awareness of the campaign among the Leon County population in two years; Increasing the membership to 500 businesses within two years, with 150 by the end of this year; and launching a saturating holiday campaign for the end of 2012, asking consumers to consider local options for a portion of their holiday gift spending. The campaign will involve both a

ground and social media strategy, as well as a public relations effort. Capital city Villager, among other media outlets involved, is sponsoring this campaign with full page ads and extensive coverage of local business during the holidays. [Full disclosure: The publisher of Villager is also President of Locally Owned Tallahassee.] The organization is entirely supported by membership dues, and the organization has reduced its membership costs to acquire more members (while at the same time increasing benefits.) Dues are now $35 for an individual per year, or $48 for a “brick and mortar” retail location, with additional categories for presenting sponsors. The organization is also seeking volunteers to help plan and execute the holiday campaign. For information, or to volunteer, email LocallyOwnedTallahassee@gmail.com or call Villager at 850.320.7806.

FSU Circus’s Overlooked Act Story by David Moody Photos by Pantechne Studios It’s a late October Wednesday, and I can’t practice my routine. There are three rings under the FSU Flying Circus tent, and all of them are currently in use. The aerial acts — trapeze, cloud swing — are prepping for Halloween’s “Haunted Harvest” shows (Nov. 1–Nov. 3). I am part of “Bike for Five,” an act in which I ride Speed Racer — a modified red cruiser bicycle — in slow, consistent circles while four lithe performers pile on the bike in formations reminiscent of cheerleader poses. These three rings are the only locations we are allowed to practice, but flyers get priority; we can’t interrupt despite the fact that this is our scheduled time. While we stand around performing dry runs of poses, Kristen Wiertzema looks longingly to the ring and the flyers overhead. In this circus

hierarchy, we are at ground level. Practice is what we need. FSU’s Flying High Circus has been around since 1947, but we have not. This is my first year — really my first month — as performer-in-training. Co-performers Allie Hetherington and Ariel Painter are the same. TommieRae Lovett and Kristen are circus sophomores, but we don’t know Bike for Five. This act was retired a few years back, but now due to an excess of applicants the act has returned. I didn’t think juggling — scheduling, pins or otherwise — would be part of performance, but scheduling conflicts are common at the circus. Tent space is limited, yet each act needs a few hours per week to learn maneuvers. A paper hangs on the bulletin board inside the main building showing which act is in which ring at which time. It is densely packed with names. Conflicts like the ones between Bike for Five and the fly-

ers will ease after this weekend’s shows, but there are still our internal schedule conflicts: Ariel has Fencing club, Allie and Kristen have jobs, TommieRae is in two acts, I am a graduate teacher, and all of us take course work. Since the tent is closed on weekends, for now the 30minute block on Thursday afternoons is the only time we meet with a ring to ourselves. Unlike the aerial act, ours won’t go live until the April shows, but the first round of act assessments are in late November. Until then we have less than ten scheduled practice hours before the first assessment, ten hours to learn how to pile five people on a moving bike and not fall over, wobble or stop smiling. On assessment day, Director Chad Mathews will watch each act display its skill. If the troupe shows promise, they keep practicing for another assessment in February. Pass both assessments and the show is yours. Fail either and it’s the door. Until then, practice and practice. When the ring is ours I grab the bike

from behind the juggling storage cabinet while the others roll up the two-inch cushion that lines the ring, exposing a slight circular groove worn into the concrete over the years. I start pedaling, and Kristen, in a smooth motion, jumps on the bike. I call “HUP” and she’s on my shoulders. The bicycle wobbles and for a moment the cycle’s circles start to shrink. I adjust, smooth the circles, and can feel the performer behind my head relax her abs. Still, with every loop she has to duck the rope rigging that hangs along ringside, and the circle I maintain runs too close to the rolled-up mat. Both will be gone on performance day, but for now we dodge obstacles. I feel about as skilled as a bear on a bicycle in some Russian circus, but I have one up on bears: I’m learning how to juggle. Stay tuned to this space as David Moody takes us through the development of his team’s act between now and when it (hopefully) debuts in April.

NEW BUSINESSES, NEW CONSTRUCTION New Businesses Filling In All Saints

The city built it, and the businesses have come. Despite the continual presence of construction in multiple areas of the district, several new businesses have opened their door in the last couple of months alone. And they have brought with them greater options and offerings. The largest is the re-envisioning of The Engine Room and The Far Side as the new Side Bar Theater and Crepevine Restaurant (respectively.) Side Bar has been hosting a varied assortment of shows, and many are watching curiously to see how it comes to define itself. And Crepevine seems poised support the development of the area as a more vibrant 18-hour district, providing breakfast and lunch, and keeping late hours to cater to students and partiers in the area. (It also boasts two semi-private conference rooms and free wi-fi.) Just on the other side of that parking lot, Cool Cow Ice Cream opened its doors over the summer, occupying the other half of the Fat Sandwich building. Down the stretch, the room adjoining Bread And Roses Coop (which previously housed Fermentation Market before it moved up the street to become Cider Lodge) is now home to Wild Greens Community Café – formerly The Marinated Mushroom on Capital Circle NE. As part of its charm, Wild Greens is quaintly intimate, with only a handful of tables inside and two tables outside. But don’t let the smaller space fool you -- the menu is anything

but short, with a wide selection of fancy offerings for lunch or dinner (like the fruit and goat cheese salad with a balsamic reduction and pecans.) (Note that serving times vary depending on the day, so call ahead or see their website -- TheMarinatedMushroom.com) Around the corner and up the street, The Grain Restaurant has opened its doors directly next to Fermentation Lounge, offering individual pizzas, specialty soups and sandwiches, and $2 tacos. The Grain also serves lunch, and then takes a break before dinner. But it is also open late to serve the party goers in the area. And back out to Gaines Street, we hear tale of a pizza parlor (like, real authentic New York pizza) going in next to St. Michael’s Pub. Meanwhile, Tasty Eats in the red caboose in Railroad Square – while not a new business to the area – has constructed an awning over the outdoor seating and stage area worth noting. Previous inhabitants of this space seem to have always been at the whim of the elements – when a little bit of wind or rain can clear out the beer garden and there simply is not much space inside. But this new addition gives Tasty Eats some protection from the elements, and also a more defined ambiance at the picnic tables.

Less Construction Here, More Construction There

Construction vehicles, traffic cones, and “business entrance” signs remain a sign of the times here – and of growing development. While the now familiar Gaines Street con-

struction continues to the west of Railroad Ave., there are two other road projects under way in the district. To the south of the Gaines/Macomb Street intersection on Railroad Ave (in front of All Saints Café), intermittent construction has the lanes shifting through different traffic cone configurations regularly, while at the same time the city is upgrading the sewage system elsewhere in the neighborhood (currently under All Saints Street, the road that houses Fermentation Lounge et al.) These upgrades are more limited in scope that the all-out redesign of Gaines Street, and construction appears to be moving at a steady pace. But detours through the side streets are regularly changing. Then, over in Railroad Square, the city is also working on the roads and infrastructure, currently near the back in front of Athena’s Garden, Loud Voice Books, and others. (Complaints were aired on Facebook by local shop owners at the beginning of construction, with claims that the city had not provided the promised “business entrance” signs, or enough warning and communication to minimize impact on the effected businesses, but those issues seem to have been rectified.) A new back entrance to the art park is also being constructed, and shop owners have expressed mixed feelings about this development to Villager. Meanwhile, commercial and property development continues to define Madison Street between Railroad Ave. And Woodward Ave. Until only the past several months, this stretch was a largely neglected side road defined by aged industrial buildings and warehouses. Now, construction continues to move along with the College Town development on the west end, while condominiums and apartment complexes replace many of the former industrial sites. These new residences will add an entirely new population to the district’s makeup, and their tenants – mostly students – are sure to have an effect on the neighborhood’s personality as well. So expect a few detour signs and road cones when you visit All Saints. But don’t

New All Saints Sign Toppers

The All Saints District Community Association -- in an effort to create a greater sense of place in the district (which includes not just Gaines Street, but also the quiet side roads to the South as well as roads to the north) -- has manufactured and posted new toppers on stop signs and road signs throughout the area. The toppers are made of dark metal, with the familiar saint-like image from the district’s official logo cut out of the center.

From Beans to Brick-And-Mortar: A biz diary By Bob Williamson My name’s Bob and I’m all about food. It’s become something of an obsession over the years. Specifically, the process. Watching something transform from its humble origins into something new and breathtaking. Take chocolate, for example. Many of us, here in Tallassee, have never seen a cacao bean, much less a cacao tree. These regal and Dr. Seuss-esque trees form pods directly on the trunk at all stages of growth. (Seriously, Google it.) Each pod is filled with beans that after fermentation look like shriveled almonds. And they reek of must and vinegar. So how do you make chocolate from this unlikely source? What physical and chemical changes occur that take this humble and yet so alien-looking bean into the rich and complex chocolate goodness we crave? I had to know. So this summer I created SRSLY chocolate. SRSLY chocolate started as an experiment in the kitchen. I’d fallen in love with Mexican confections over the summer. Real, fun, traditional Mexican foodways. Camotes, alegrías, cajeta … and some really rustic drinking chocolate tablets. Making this elegant and comforting chocolate from store-bought cacao nibs was an epiphany. All of the elements that mean something to me in food (tradition, technique, science, flavor) appeared to me by joining in on this thousands of years–old tradition that is

still vibrantly alive across Mexico and cacao’s vast homeland of Mesoamerica, Central America and the Amazon Basin. From this fascination with everything chocolate, SRSLY chocolate appeared at the Lake Ella Growers Market. Last summer, Florida joined the roster of a number of other states by enacting a Cottage Food Act. The bill allows anyone with limited sales ($15k or less) to sell lowrisk foods directly to the public without a license or permit. While there’s a lot left to be done, it’s a step in the right direction for Florida’s food system and for would-be entrepreneurs, like myself. Cottage Food acts as a testing ground and springboard for food businesses in their startup phase. Now is the crucial moment when SRSLY chocolate is taken out of the incubator, goes through an exhaustive permitting and licensing process, and begins to offer a locally produced chocolate bar to the Big Bend. This is no small undertaking. Participating in your local economy is crucial to fostering a strong engaged community. Nearly every decision you make has

a much greater impact than one knows or sometimes is willing to admit. And as a businessperson these decisions present themselves everywhere from your suppliers (Fair Trade/Organic or Hershey’s) to where to buy office paper (Office Depot or Target Copy). The ripples that emerge from how you choose to

run your business spread everywhere. These decisions do much more than define you; they play a significant role in our community and help determine the path that Tallahassee will take. I hope you join me and other local businesses as we take this journey.

Sneaking Up on the Spirit of The Suwannee

Local. Fresh. Open Late.

In the heart of the All Saints District, next door to Fermentation Lounge.

Tornado Rider performs at Mag Fest last week. By Paul Haney and Aimee Synder In just 90 minutes by car from Tallahassee, you can get to one of the premier music festival venues in the country. Drive east down I-10 to exit 83, go north for another seven miles into Live Oak, FL, and arrive at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground back among the sandy pine and oak forest. You’ll find a natural amphitheater and access to the tannic waters of the Suwannee River, bat houses and country stores, endless campsites and — depending on the week — a merry, ad-hoc community of colorful festival-goers, each with an ear for good music and a penchant for a good time. Throughout the year, The Spirit of the Suwannee (SoS) hosts a lineup of music festivals, each with its own personality. Wanee goes on in the spring and features the Allman Brothers plus nearly every side project and spinoff thereof. Bear Creek Music & Arts Festival happens in the fall and touts itself as the home of

funk and soul music. MagnoliaFest and Springfest, grounded in bluegrass and folk music respectively, are the elder statesmen of the SoS festival queue, although their musical eclecticism defies such narrow classification. When added together, the sum of the musical acts that come through the SoS comprises as high a level of musicianship as can be found at any venue in America. But to say that the SoS brings in the best music isn’t entirely accurate because, to be sure, the park itself brings the best out of the musicians. This October, the Villager sent us to get the scoop on MagnoliaFest — or Magfest — and immerse ourselves in the music, camping, and camaraderie. Bonnie Raitt headlined the festival, performing her soulful ballads and funky blues numbers Saturday night on the meadow stage after Jacksonville’s J.J. Grey and Mofro had played their own set and primed the crowd. On the same stage the night before, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood (of Black Crowes fame)

Live Music pumped their mellow, intricate rock and roll out into the grassy field with masses of stars shining overhead, each one a note in the cosmic sheet music of the sky. On Thursday night at the amphitheater, the SoS’s iconic stage down in a hollow with tiered wooden steps, copious hammocks, and a canopy overhead, a band that takes the music of the stars quite literally played to a large weeknight crowd: The Mickey Hart Band (MHB), whose new album Mysterium Tremendum actually turns light waves from the early cosmos into sound waves and builds rhythms and songs around them. 30-year percussionist for the Grateful Dead Mickey Hart — occupier of the offbeat, resident of music’s empty spaces — wielded his drumsticks like pickaxes around his circular setup as he led his heavy-hitting band, including Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools, through rhythm-laden soundscapes from which traditionally structured songs seemed to spin out like galaxies from supernovae. Vocalist Crystal Monee Hall, a young black woman with a powerful voice, threatened to steal the show as she belted out old Dead tunes and new MHB numbers alike. Sometimes it happens at a festival that a band way down on the bill, lacking the notoriety of the headliners, draws an inordinate amount of attention and, for an afternoon, steals the show. At this Magfest that band was Tornado Rider, a three-piece from Oakland, Calif. blending bluegrass and classical, punk and jam. They grabbed the lion’s share of the attention with their showmanship, their wild getups like the elf’s cap, and psychedelic spandex worn by lead singer and electric cellist Rushad Eggleston, and songs like “Fluffy Arabian Cat Disease” and “Mr. Bnenkyfoof.” The audience laughed, jigged and applauded, and the audience swelled out from the barn stage, a third outdoor stage, with children cheering all around. The fourth stage is indoors with a barand-grill setup where Gators and Seminoles gathered to watch their teams on Saturday afternoon. But we were too

busy with the music to worry about the football. One of our favorite moments of Magfest 2012 was when Rushad Eggleston asked the crowd if they were ready to have a party. “Sometimes a party doesn’t want you to have it,” he said, then slinked across the stage in his elf gear. “Sometimes you have to sneak up on it. This is how you sneak up on a party.” Better you sneak up on it, we figured, than it sneak up on you. Beyond Tornado Rider’s sets, Eggleston seemed to sneak onstage (in more modest clothing) during various other performances. He was there on acoustic cello during the Friday night jam, led by the members of the Del McCroury Band minus Del, who had delivered an authentic dose of bluegrass to the amphitheater earlier that night, taking requests from the audience and honoring them in his distinctive high-nasal, nearyodel croon. Another musical superstar, Emmylou Harris, who had headlined the amphitheater that night, sang a song for the late-night jam, and just minutes later we saw her luxury tour bus sneaking out of the park. It also happens sometimes that a show will sneak up on you. Each time we tried to tear away from the Chris Robinson Brotherhood to head to the Friday night jam, the band pulled us back in with screaming guitar licks, howling keyboards, and irresistible musical interplay. Since the festival, CRB has snuck into heavy rotation on my iPod. And sometimes you’ll want to sneak back to camp in the middle of the headliner’s set. Not that Bonnie Raitt wasn’t great — she was — but with so much music on tap over the four days, and with the necessities of eating and sleeping still in play, you’d be mad to think you could see all of every show. And if you did manage to see everything, you’d no doubt be missing something else. We had missed most of Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett’s set earlier on Saturday because of these scheduling vagaries. But remarkably, after Bonnie finished in the meadow, those two members of Little Feat led the Saturday night

jam in the amphitheater, and we were treated to an impromptu performance of Little Feat jams with an all-star band behind. “Spanish Moon.” “Dixie Chicken.” “Down on the Farm.” For those 90 minutes, all was well in the world. Good vibes and serendipity flow in abundance around the SoS, especially during Magfest. Neighbors in tents, popups, and R.V.s not only swap stories, but share beers and seats around warm fires. Back in the campgrounds, professional and amateur musicians play live bluegrass for patrons till the dawn. With so much kindness and stimulation, you’ll feel as if the demands of your daily life don’t even exist. This feeling is mitigated only by the conspicuous presence of the Suwannee County Sherriff’s Department, and the security staff of orange-shirted locals who at times blatantly mock the more eccentric patrons. But hey, we can take it. If you like concerts, camping, or parties, you’ll enjoy a festival at the SoS. If you like all three, then I don’t have to tell you, because you’ve surely already been.

On that note, toilet paper is also a brilliant idea. Earplugs. Blasting out your hearing now will certainly make listening to music in the future much less enjoyable. Supportive shoes. You’re going to be standing and walking — all day, every day. If you’re not, you’re not doing it right. Camping chairs. If you don’t mind lugging them around, they can be lifesaving after days of standing, whether you leave them at the campsite or bring them into the music areas. Basic first aid. Because you don’t want to go hunting down the First Aid Tent for a band-aid and miss out on all the fun.

Artist 411: Band Agreements By Sebastien Delisle, Esq. You started out jamming in your parent’s garage. Time went on, you opened for some local bands in a couple venues around town, and then, all of a sudden, someone wants to sign you to a record label. What’s the first thing you do? Hit the bar! The second thing? Write a band agreement. Few bands take the time to hammer out the important details of their relationship up front–that is, before they start making money. Once a band starts to achieve any kind of success, it is critical for the band members to discuss the following questions with an entertainment attorney and sign an agreement to avoid band breakups, bad feelings, and lawsuits.

1. Who owns the copyright?

Copyright is what allows you, as a band, to own the song and get paid. Unless you’re a one-person act, the issue of copyright ownership can be tricky. Who wrote the lyrics? Who wrote the melody? Who came up with the awesome bass line? Can the songwriter take his song to another band? These are just a few of the copyright questions that should be addressed in multi-member bands.

2. How does the band make decisions?

When your band becomes successful, there are complicated decisions to be made. What if two record labels offer you a record deal? What if the lead singer wants to hire his deadbeat brother as the band manager? Your band needs to have a system for voting on important decisions that affect the band’s future.

3. What happens if a band member leaves or dies?

Death wishes aside, sometimes a band member wants to quit or refuses to carry their load. If the lead singer quits the band, do they still get paid when the band plays a song they were famous for performing? What if the band is in debt when someone quits—do they still need to pay their share of the losses? If a band member dies, who receives their share of the royalty payments? Can the band fire a member for any reason? While its easy to hope that none of these negative events will occur, the band must have a mechanism for dealing with the unfortunate realities of business.

There are many ways to deal with this scenario, but having people be confused when they’re trying to buy your album shouldn’t be one of them.

5. What happens if the band breaks up?

If it can happen to The Beatles, it can happen to your band too. Eventually, you may reach a point where you want to stop creating and performing as a band. Several issues arise here, including what happens to your songs and recordings and how your royalties get paid after the band dissolves. It’s best to set forth these contingencies before it becomes a reality to avoid a messy breakup. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine your band as a company: there are many members and business activities, and as many potential situations as

Live Music

possible should be addressed at the outset. Every band is different, so a custom agreement is essential—a band should avoid using a template band agreement to save money initially, because it will end up costing much more in the future. Though a band agreement may seem cumbersome, remember that it truly is the first step to your band’s success!

This column, which will appear in alternating issues of Villager, is meant to provide general information, and should not be construed as individual legal advice. More information can be found at BrightSparkLegal.com

4. Who owns the name of the band?

Yes, this can be an issue. What happens if two out of four punk band members disagree on the band’s direction, and start an folk band with the same name?
