ith a new administration, there are always new people in new positions with a new outlook on the future. For the Hoosier Environmental Council (HEC), a new governor is a new opportunity to address old issues in the state. And this new governor, Eric Holcomb is already showing promise by being open, listening and putting good people in good places. “Things are on a better footing than they have been by virtue of the fact that Governor Holcomb decided to select Bruno Piggott to be the new commissioner of IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management),” says Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of HEC. “He had been a long-standing head of their water program and recently had been elevated to be their chief of staff. We respect his accessibility, his candor, and the fact that he has a genuine love for the environment. We think he’ll be someone that at least we can have pretty open dialogue with. And it will be one where he will listen to and genuinely appreciate our input.” With this new air of opportunity and a new administration that has made economic development a primary priority, Kharbanda says the HEC developed three broad priorities of interest regarding the environment that identify the needs of all interested parties. The first ideal in this three-pronged outlook is a focus on development and the belief that environmental protection translates into the expedited clean up of contaminated sites in both rural and urban areas. “Given that communities, urban and rural, are focusing a lot more in in-fill development — revitalizing main streets in rural Indiana, revitalizing downtowns in

6 // NEWS // 01.18.17 - 01.25.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

urban areas and inner city neighborhoods — that it is in the economic interest of those communities, rural and urban, to see proper levels of funding for clean up programs that lead to economically-valuable properties,” says Kharbanda. An emphasis on cleanup efforts requires increased funding for IDEM, a state agency that has lost more than 25 percent of its overall operating budget over the last 10 years. The second ideal involves quality of life development. Life quality ripples in to so many other areas of concern for businesses — education, health, morale, etc. — and environmental amenities are a vital part of a happy healthy workforce.

“We see that in the increased interest in trails, mass transit, bikeways, etc.,” says Kharanda. “With respect to the second topic of boosting quality of life, that has taken a few different forms, with a push for higher funding for DNR.” Kharbanda says the additional funding for DNR would be targeted for conservation programming — for things like land trusts and nature preserves — as well as mass transit, passenger rail and proper funding for water infrastructure. The third ideal is to make sure that the intersections where the environment and the economy meet are stable and that any conflicts between the two are met with wins on both sides. “The best example of that is the clean energy economy,” says Kharbanda. “There is concern that we may see a de-stabilization in the investment climate for clean energy.” The elimination of the Energizing Indiana program — a program conceived and developed during the Mitch Daniels administration — was the first crumble in that instability. Kharbanda says the revival of efforts to end net metering and destabilize the state’s solar energy industry would ripple across all of the state’s clean energy economy. The connections between the environment and the economy are logical and something that the new administration could get behind. However the roadblock appears in the form of increased funding for two state agencies at a time when the state is again projected to take in less money in the coming years. It’s a challenge Kharbanda understands, but feels both IDEM and DNR have been de-funded so low that their effectiveness has been compromised and there is no road to the future without funding increases.

NOW, WE MARCH. 100 Hoosier women tell you why they’re marching on Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Weekend

BY KATHERINE COPLEN // KCOPLEN@NUVO.NET

ometime this Friday, perhaps right around the time President-elect Donald Trump places his hand on a Bible and takes the oath of office, thousands of bus drivers from all over the United States will turn over the ignition. These buses — and trains, and planes, and automobiles, too — will carry hundreds of thousands of women who, on Saturday morning, will march together on the Mall. Organizers of the Women’s March on Washington estimate 200,000 marchers will attend, and thousands of Hoosiers will join the contingent. Why march? Why now? Organizers write in their mission statement that, “The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women’s rights are human rights.” The choice of words — “women’s rights are human rights” — is no accident. It’s a callback to Hillary Clinton’s iconic speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, which has become a feminist rallying cry. More than 20 years later,

“For so many reasons — justice, equality, BLM, etc. — but mainly because it is exhausting to be a

Clinton’s opponent in the presidential race faced questions for the duration of the campaign about his treatment of women, with accusations of sexual assault mounting through Election Day. Organizers are clear to note the purpose of the march is not exclusively anti-Trump, but one that challenges his continuously inflammatory rhetoric about marginalized populations. The organizers of this protest have solidified into a progressive, inclusive, intersectional movement, releasing a radical platform that affirms this protest as one for everyone. The Women’s March seeks to highlight the multitude of issues that women face: sexual assault, discrimination, reproductive injustice, wage disparity, domestic violence and other obstacles due to their race, orientation, religion, ability, class or creed. Before those buses take off, we asked 100 Hoosier women marching on Saturday in D.C. to outline their reasons for protesting; what they want our legislators and leaders to know; and what they’ll do after those buses roll on home.

sat down with Edward Curtis, the 46-yearold Millennium Chair of the Liberal Arts and Professor of Religious Studies at IUPUI, to discuss his new book, Muslim Americans in the Military: Centuries of Service. In it, he outlines a 200 year history of Muslim service in the U.S. military — from the soldier who fired the shot that killed British Maj. Pitcairn at the Battle of Bunker Hill, to soldiers currently in uniform. Curtis wrote the 87-page book in three weeks. He wrote it so quickly because he wanted it released before the presidential election. I talked with him a week before Donald Trump gave his victory speech in New York City.

DAN GROSSMAN: IS TRUMP’S TARGETING OF MUSLIMS ONE OF THE MOTIVATING FACTORS OF YOUR BOOK?

ON TRUMP AND MUHAMMAD ALI Edward Curtis, author of Muslim Americans in the Military, answers questions about his new book BY DAN GROSSMAN // ARTS@NUVO.NET 12 // BOOKS // 01.18.17 - 01.25.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

EDWARD CURTIS: I see Trump’s targeting of Muslims as a small part of this country’s Islamaphobia. And I blame Democrats as much as Republicans for the Islamaphobia in the country. I think it’s really easy for liberals to want to blame Trump for anti-Muslim bias in the country. But I think that our own government — our Democratic administration — does quite a lot to foment Islamaphobia both in their foreign policy, in their immigration policies, and especially in the way that they treat Muslims as potential criminals in their massive surveillance of the community.

DAN: IN YOUR DISCUSSION YOU BROUGHT UP SOME OF THE LESS SAVORY ASPECTS OF UNITED STATES HISTORY SUCH AS SLAVERY AND JIM CROW SINCE MANY AMERICAN MUSLIMS HAPPEN TO BE AFRICAN AMERICAN. EDWARD: Yes, and do you know why they might be at this point in our history? In 1960 the most typical face of Islam, the most famous Muslim in America, was Muhammad Ali. But after 9/11, Islam became less of a religious identity and more of a racial identity which is associated with brown people who

could roughly be from the Middle East or South Asia. So blacks and whites don’t always fit into the stereotype of who a Muslim is because Muslims become so racialized.

DAN: THE CASE OF MUHAMMAD ALI. THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE CHANGING ATTITUDE TOWARDS MUSLIMS DOES IT NOT? EDWARD: It really does. He was once seen as one of the more dangerous people in America, not because he had taken arms up against the United States, or because he was a violent extremist, but because he chose not to go to war. And at that time, that was seen as radical politics. And I had to make a decision when I was writing this book. Do I only tell the stories of Muslims at war, Muslim warriors who have been brave, who have been part of the military, or do I also include the stories of how the military has mattered to Muslims and how Muslims have mattered to the military? And I chose the latter, and it enabled me to talk about bravery and courage outside of military service. One of the points that I make is that I don’t think looking back that Muhammad Ali was a coward. He was so incredibly brave.

DAN: YOU INTERVIEWED CONTEMPORARY SERVICE MEMBERS AS WELL AS RECENT VETERANS. ANY HIGHLIGHTS? EDWARD: I interviewed Harris Khan, who was 12 Bravo combat engineer, the person who goes in in front of the infantry to clear out any obstacles in their paths. First of all, I have not spoken to many combat engineers. These are the folks in the thick of really bad stuff. … Many people, or at least some people who join the military, would like to be in battle. Some of course joined to get a job, to get their education. But the kind of brotherhood that you read about so much in literature was exactly what Harris Kahn was after. He wanted to be at the tip of the spear. And that’s what he became when he became a combat engineer in Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq, which is the ongoing current operation against ISIL… In my daily life, I don’t get to talk to too many people who enjoy the thrill of military action. And when I spoke to Harris Khan I was speaking to someone whose life was at its most intense, was at its most real, when he was engaged in on the battlefield. N

BACK DOWN TO EARTH

ISO’s Music of the Earth Festival brings a new interpretation to classics BY CHANTAL INCANDELA // ARTS@NUVO.NET

ast season, Krzystof Urbánski and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra went on a journey through the cosmos, celebrating and exploring all things celestial. This year, Urbánski decided to champion things terrestrial, with a two week long Music of the Earth festival. In interviewing him, it’s clear that his enthusiasm for the earth is much like it is for space; full of admiration, wonder, and respect. “I hope you don’t find me too Voltaire, but I believe we live in the best of all possible worlds,” he says. “When I look around and see all the beauty, love, and passion, I am always amazed by this extraordinary place we live in.” Urbánski explained that he wanted to visit two aspects of earth: physical, and metaphysical, and planned the concerts as such. In the first week, the physical aspect is manifested in some mountainous works: Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, and Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony. The title Appalachian Spring doesn’t refer to a season, but actually wellspring on a hill that was spoken about in a Hart Crane poem,

from which the title is derived. The Strauss, while being about an Alpine mountain, isn’t just about that. In a video about the work, Urbánski says: “The piece is inspired by mountains. But the fact is, that Strauss is not about rocks, not about mountains. It’s about human feelings. There is a hero, a person, I believe it’s the composer, who travels through mountains, and his experiences, on the pages of the score. It’s what we see through his eyes and through his musical imagination”. With that, the Strauss leaves the door open for the metaphysical week of the festival. Mahler’s work Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) two voices (Mezzo soprano Sasha Cooke and tenor Paul Groves for these performances) and orchestra made up of six songs, fits that bill ever so aptly. “Every note Mahler had ever written truly came from the bottom of his heart,” says Urbánski. “His music is intimate and sincere. Mahler the composer had to reflect in his music what Mahler the human being was going through. Passion, pain, under-

WHAT // Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Music of the Earth Festival WHEN // Through Jan. 21 TICKETS // Prices vary

standing for the overall process of life as a result of a tragic death of his daughter and terrible disease diagnosis can be heard in his late works.” The emotional journey Mahler went on before and through Das Lied is nearly palpable for some, including Urbánski. “Mahler’s work is very demanding, both technically and mentally. When I work on Mahler symphonies, my life is consumed by it. I sometimes get depressed because his music is so powerful.” The other portion of the metaphysical journey involves a piece many of us know well, in its original scoring and remixed at a later performance: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. The original scoring for it will be performed at Eskanazi Hospital (Featuring Sherry Hong and Charles Morey as solo violinists); and at Hilbert Circle Theater for the weekend, Urbánski decided to present Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi’s The

Four Seasons (with violinist Alexi Kenney). New or remixed, music is a journey that Urbánski feels strongly about. “I wanted to present an interesting new version,” he says. “In Richter’s vision, the skeleton of the piece is still there, but there are tiny twists that make it different. The original Four Seasons is so well-known because we hear it in shopping malls, on television, or even in elevators. If someone doesn’t know anything about classical music, if you play the first two bars of ‘Spring’ or ‘Autumn’, they will recognize it. This nearly three hundred year old composition is already a part of us. Having said that, I think it is very courageous of Richter to give the piece new appeal. We present it to give the listeners freedom to decide how they like this new interpretation. “The Earth is part of the Universe, but it can be seen as a universe itself,” Urbánski explains. “Complexity of our planet and life on it especially in its philosophical aspects fascinates me. I am happy that we can invite our audience for a two week journey to experience the Earth with us.” N NUVO.NET // 01.18.17 - 01.25.17 // STAGE // 13

WHAT // Silence (2016) SHOWING // In wide release (R) SAM SAYS // s After 50 years of films, Scorsese never ceases to stun. His new film, Silence, is a flat-out masterpiece, which will loom large in your cinematic memories right alongside

Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, the list goes on.

A PORTRAIT OF CHARACTER 20 th Century Women speaks to all of us

Silence follows two Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) on a mission to

find their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) in

the dark heart of 17th century Japan, where Christianity was outlawed. During their quest, they find groups of Japanese Christians hiding in dilapidated villages, desperately avoiding persecution from the Buddhist government. Although the film may seem like a dramatic departure for Scorsese, these characters are ultimately cut from the same cloth as Travis Bickle and Henry Hill. They silently struggle with morality in the midst of mayhem. The priests wince in disbelief as their followers are tortured and killed for their faith. Here, Silence emerges as a poignant portrait of belief — not just in higher powers but in one’s fellow man. At the center of it all is Garfield, who delivers a devastating, career-defining performance as a man wrestling with his faith while seeing friends suffer for it. Written by Scorsese and Jay Cocks, the film doesn’t offer any easy answers. It makes us marvel at its characters’ commitment one moment and grimace at their stubbornness the next. This isn’t a faith-based film that merely preaches to the choir. Silence challenges religious devotion as much as it shows reverence for it. — SAM WATERMEIER

orothea Fields wants her teenage son Jamie to accompany Abbie, a young woman renting a room in her house, to a medical appointment. Dorothea wants him to provide emotional support. After Jamie accepts her request, she pauses, then decides to make sure her son understands what providing support should entail. She says, “Men always feel like they have to fix things for women, or they’re not doing anything, but some things just can’t be fixed. Just be there. Somehow that’s hard for all of you.” “Mom, I’m not all men, OK? I’m just me,” says Jamie. After another brief pause, Dorothea responds. “Well, yes and no ...” 20th Century Women is a smart, engaging film about a mother and her son. Or a woman and the world. Or three women and the world. It’s a beautifully textured, wonderfully acted movie by Mike Mills, the filmmaker that brought us Beginners, the charmer about a father who comes out of the closet late in life. Mills wrote 20th Century Women as a love letter to his mother. Accordingly, he created Dorothea, who was born during the Depression and had Jamie later in life. She’s in her ‘50s when the movie starts. Annette Bening plays Dorothea and my

14 // SCREENS // 01.18.17 - 01.25.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

God, is she good. When we meet her and Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann, in a fine performance) it’s 1979 and they live in the family home along with two boarders: artist Abbie (Greta Gerwig, at her best beneath a punky red wig) and counterculture holdover William (Billy Crudup). A neighborhood girl named Julie (Elle Fanning) is a frequent guest – she often slips in through a window. Dorothea enlists everyone’s help in raising Jamie. This comes as no surprise to the boy, who explains that his mother was a Depression baby and everybody helped raise everybody back then. Maybe that’s it. Or maybe it’s part of the counterculture — less strong than it was a few years earlier, but still a formidable part of the lives of many. Though William is a strong male presence, Dorothea recognizes that he and Jamie don’t connect on a useful surrogate father-son level, so she relies mostly on Abbie and Julie. You won’t be getting a plot synopsis here, because the film doesn’t have a plot in the traditional sense. Mills approaches the film in a different way; introducing the characters and Dorothea’s request for help, then letting the movie just happen. Mills uses shifting voice-overs. I’m not generally a fan of voice-overs, but they work here.

He also uses still photos, historical montages reaching back to the era where a character was born. Periodically a character tells us what will happen to them in the future. Dorothea clues us in on the details of her eventual death. At times the presentation style of the film reminded me of the journals of artists I admire WHAT // 20th Century Women (2016) SHOWING // Opens Thursday at Keystone Art (R) ED SAYS // e

like Chester Alamo Costello and Jesse Bercowetz. Bits and pieces of drawings, photos, paintings, poetry, observations, and more, are assembled in a way that projects meaning without diminishing the value of the many individual parts. Mills has crafted a film that works as a mosaic and as an observation of distinct individuals traveling through an interesting time. The portraits of the characters are rich, credible, and fascinating, especially Dorothea. The bottom line is this: Anytime you get the chance to see Annette Bening work, you should. 20th Century Women is an exceptional film that speaks to all of us. N

o one seems to understand true tiki.” Ed Rudisell says this to me while we’re sitting in his restaurant, Rook. We’re talking about Rudisell’s newest venture, a tiki bar, or more correctly, a Polynesian pop concept called The Inferno Room. The Inferno Room is currently being built-out in Fountain Square at 902 Virginia Avenue. He continues: “Everyone is like, ‘So how are you going to build an outdoor bar in the building?’ And, it’s like, ‘You are going to learn a lot when we open.’ The outdoor tiki thing is antithetic to real tiki. So I think it will be a little bit of a battle, recalibrating everybody’s definition to tiki.” Rudisell, his wife and business partner Sasatorn and their business partner Chris Coy are huge fans of the tiki lifestyle, and so for them to bring the concept to Indianapolis — the real, historic concept — makes perfect sense. Tiki — real tiki — started in the 1930s in Hollywood and Oakland. The first tiki bar, Don the Beachcomber, was created by a world traveler and adventurer, Donn Beach. “It started with Donn Beach and that was all about escapism,” Rudisell says. “And you know, there was no name for it back then, nobody called it tiki at that point. He actually had traveled a lot and had picked up all that flotsam and jetsam from wherever he was and threw it all in a place. This idea of escapism is where tiki has its roots and it is what Rudisell and the

16 // FOOD+DRINK // 01.18.17 - 01.25.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

team at The Inferno Room are keeping at the forefront of their minds as they flesh out this new venture. Rudisell tells me, “I think when it comes down to it, we first want to obliterate that perception that tiki means a pool bar, or a hut on the beach or that it’s just a bar in your back yard. Because that’s the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to be about. “To me, at it’s core, it’s just about escapism. You look historically going back and that’s what it was about; either you’re trying to escape the Depression Era economy and find yourself in the South Pacific, or you’re post World War II and you’re coming back and you’ve seen the South Pacific and you want a little piece of that escape back to those islands. “You know, sitting out on Virginia Avenue looking at cars passing by isn’t going to take you out of that mindset, so our goal is to be a little oasis in the middle of that.” He goes on to say, “We definitely see this as not only a place for people in Fountain Square and people Downtown looking for something different, but also to be able to tap into the out-of-town crowd that’s coming in for conventions and to give them a complete escape from everything. We want everyone to come in, get away from it all, come enjoy the South Seas with us, a climb into the jungle and enter at your own risk.” This “enter at your own risk” idea comes from the tiki style Rudisell and team are taking The Inferno Room. “There are three different schools of tiki, and we like the kind

of headhunter, jungle feeling of tiki. Like tribal tiki or something like that. So, like, the cannibal side, the shrunken heads, we’re aiming for a place that when you walk in to have a drink you feel like maybe you won’t walk back out. “It speaks to Chris and my interest in sorts of darker sides of things, like metal. We want skulls, shrunken heads and fire.” Many of the decorations are being crafted by local artisans, as well as artists known within the tiki community. When Rudisell shows me the space where The Inferno Room will be he points up to a corner in the main room, directly across from the entry and says, “We are going to put a big fucking carved tiki mask in the corner there that actually spews smoke and fire (fire of some kind, even if it ends up just being LEDs) that will be an eight-foot mask or so. “Is this cultural appropriation?” Rudisell asks himself. “Are we taking Polynesian culture? Because the gods, all of these masks and stuff, is pretty much like making a Jesus bar. Is making mugs and putting the Hawaiian god Kū as a mug, is that offensive to the culture? I think it’s an interesting point and we try not to do that. But tiki in and of itself – the Tikis, those were gods. So, that’s why we use the word Polynesian pop. It’s the pop culture of it, it’s the faux Polynesian culture.” If we’re looking at tiki bars as a true representation of Polynesian culture, we are completely off-base. Tiki bars, like The Inferno Room, don’t represent authentic Polynesian culture; instead, they’re a throw-

NUVO.NET/FOOD+DRINK back to a piece of Americana. But sensitivity to appropriation is appropriate in venues like this, and it’s clear Rudisell has thought deeply about it. He’s thought deeply about the cocktail program, too. As Rudisell points out: “When you’re young people are like, ‘Ohh, that’s a foo-foo drink.’ “And it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, drink three of these buddy, I dare ya. There’s like three different rums, and curaçao and fresh juice.’” I add in, “It’ll knock you on your ass.” He finishes, “Yeah, it fucking will.” “We come from more of the drink side instead of the cultural mid-century modern side. We come at it because we absolutely love the rum and how the rums play against each other in the drinks and we take that seriously,” Rudisell says. He continues, “I’ve had two really disappointing experiences outside of Indiana at tiki bars in the past year that looked like they were badass. I mean you walked in and thought, ‘This is going to be fucking amazing.’ And then the drinks were terrible and it was really disappointing. We’re going to make sure that we can deliver on all fronts.” Rudisell’s business partner Coy, who is currently the general manager at Black Market, will be handling the day-to-day operations as the operating partner. “Chris will be there and he has been doing our cocktail program at Black Market for

the past 10 year. He’s been bartending since he was 23 and he’s 44 now.” In preparation to make the cocktails as imaginative as possible Rudisell says there will be a balance of classic tiki drinks like Mai-Tais and Zombies, but there will also be plenty of modern additions. He hopes that they will be able to incorporate fire into some of the drinks, maybe even in the realm of some of the fire conjurers like Justin Wojslaw from the Diller Room in Seattle. “We’re gonna see what we can do, we have those tall ceilings, so we’re gonna see. We can get some fire going, but these guys are like sorcerers when it comes to this stuff. Some of these guys will conjure like fucking four foot flames. We definitely want to emphasize the fire aspect since we are called the Inferno Room.” While the drinks and décor are key elements, the food program will not be falling by the wayside either. Rook’s chef Carlos Salazar will be curating the menu. Rudisell says, “We’re going to do definitely Polynesian pop cuisine. “We’ve talked about crab rangoon, which was actually created at Trader Vic’s. Just some kind of elevated, but super affordable bar snacks. I could see poke ending up on the menu there, because we’ve done it here [at Rook].” While there isn’t a set date as of yet, Rudisell says, “We don’t have a tentative date because we want to do everything right. It will definitely be done this year.” N

WHAT // Swordbeach with Jared Watson WHEN // Saturday, January 21, 9 p.m. WHERE // Deluxe at Old National Centre $22.50, all-ages Here is a surprising fact: massively popular SoCal reggae-hop jammers The Dirty Heads are actually quite fond of Indiana. So much so, in fact, that they co-own a hair salon here. Wait, what? Yup, the band – which features Jared “Dirty J” Watson, Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell, Jon Olazabal Matt Ochoa, David Foral and Shawn Hagood — are partial owners of

who, along with managing Dirty Heads and

Sublime with Rome, founded KKBB with stylist Tanya Foster. During The Dirty Head’s summer 2016 stop in Indianapolis, NUVO chatted with the band, Foster and Brown before a show at the Lawn. Expect more from that conversation in a future issue of NUVO, but before Jared Watson’s solo set at Deluxe on January, we wanted to bring a

hen I hung out with Josh Baker, owner-operator of Fountain Square’s Hi-Fi, to talk about the expansion of the space, I was left with one thought: This place is massive now. “Being bigger and being able to be in the position to attract bigger acts would be the biggest reason why we did it,” Baker says.

bit of why the band invested in Indy: “[Cheez] is more than a manager — more of a mentor, father figure. We’ve seen what he’s done with his success, and as that mentor, he’s kept us in the right lane when it comes

to looking at the big picture when it comes to making music and how fickle it is. “He said, we have this opportunity; the first salon is doing really well, and I think we’re going to open up another one. Would you guys want to become small business owners? “We knew all the girls, we would come in and get our hair cut. We saw what they did [there]. For me, it was more about becoming a small business owner with something that was staying in the United State, giving back to the economy, giving back to the city. That’s a really cool feeling.” — KATHERINE COPLEN

The new and improved Hi-Fi is easily twice the size of the old space, and a reorganization of the now-square space instead of the former long, rectangular shape means more people will get a better view of the stage in the new space. Baker told me, “We all had the same list everyone else had, what was [our] pros and cons. Like, ‘Ah, you love going there, but the bathrooms sucks. It gets so hot.’ So we just checked all those things off our list.” The Hi-Fi’s reopening event on Friday features Otis Gibbs with Amy Lashley. Read

more about the show in Barfly on page 21. More upcoming shows include performances by The Tillers, Joan of Arc, Gangstagrass and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Here’s a list of new things that come with the renovated space we learned on a tour of the venue with Baker:

problems with shows is that it would be too hot or too cold and now we can control that. The idea of being able to quickly control the temperature [is exciting.]”

Twice the size means twice the capacity. Not only does that mean more room to get your groove on, but it also means attracting bigger acts to the venue. An AV upgrade means a bigger concert experience. The stage is bigger, the PA is better and the lights are brighter.

The space now has a dedicated box office. Baker: “Having a dedicated box office is big, where we can be open before the shows happen, to help assist guests and stuff. Have someone answering the phones there. Still yet to be determined what the hours will be but we did just hire a person dedicated to box office manager.” In total, the Hi-Fi renovation created nine new jobs at the venue.

New bathrooms! Remember the old ones? They were rough, and by rough, we mean occasionally straight-up nasty. But not anymore — these new bathrooms smell good, look great and are now within the Hi-Fi, instead of being public bathrooms for anyone in the Murphy Building.

The Hi-Fi gained three new cooling/ heating units for quicker control of temperature. Baker: “One of the biggest

NUVO’s personal favorite part of the upgraded Hi-Fi is the new and improved bar, which now has 24 taps and more server stations — so we can all get our beers quicker.

The room now has a dedicated green room for the bands. And the more comfortable the bands are the better the shows will be, right? N

SAVAGE LOVE BY DAN SAVAGE // EDITORS@NUVO.NET

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS PRETENDING TO READ MY BOYFRIEND’S MIND AND JOKINGLY SAID, “YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN MY EAR.” SINCE THEN, I HAVE SEEN REFERENCES TO EAR SEX (AURAL SEX?) EVERYWHERE! THERE’S EVEN A HOLIDAY (“TAKE IT IN THE EAR DAY” ON DECEMBER 8), AND I WAS READING A BOOK JUST NOW IN WHICH THE AUTHOR MENTIONS HOW MUCH SHE HATES GETTING COME IN HER EAR. SO WHILE I AM HONESTLY NOT TRYING TO YUCK SOMEONE’S YUM, I DO HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. FIRST, IS THIS REALLY A THING? AND SECOND, HOW DOES IT WORK? I MEAN, I LIKE IT WHEN MY BOYFRIEND KISSES MY EARS, BUT I DON’T THINK I’D GET THAT HOT FROM HIM PUTTING HIS PENIS THERE. IT JUST SEEMS LOUD. CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN ME? — AN UNDERSTANDING REQUESTED

DAN SAVAGE: Ear sex is a thing. But we need to distinguish between auralism, AURAL, and an ear fetish. People into auralism are sexually aroused by sounds—it could be a voice or music or sex noises. (Sex noises can arouse almost anyone who hears them, of course, so technically we’re all auralists.) An ear fetish, on the other hand, is a kind of partialism, i.e., a sexual interest in one part of the body (often parts not typically found in pants). A foot fetish is a partialism, for example, as is an ear fetish or an armpit fetish. Most ear fetish stuff—including the thousands of ear fetish videos on YouTube—is about tugging, rubbing, or licking someone’s ear and not about fucking someone in the ear or coming in someone’s ear canal. Dicks don’t fit in ear canals, and blasting semen into someone’s ear could cause a nasty ear infection. So both are risky practices best avoided. N

Shop. Smart. PICK UP NUVO AT MARSH

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you more attracted to honing group dynamics or liberating group dynamics? Do you have more aptitude as a director who organizes people or as a sparkplug who inspires people? Would you rather be a Chief Executive officer or a Chief Imagination Officer? Questions like these will be fertile for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. The astrological omens suggest it’s time to explore and activate more of your potential as a leader or catalyst. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An eccentric Frenchman named Laurent Aigon grew up near an airport, and always daydreamed of becoming a commercial pilot. Sadly, he didn’t do well enough in school to fulfill his wish. Yet he was smart and ambitious enough to accomplish the next best thing: assembling a realistic version of a Boeing 737 cockpit in his home. With the help of Google, he gathered the information he needed, and ordered most of the necessary parts over the Internet. The resulting masterpiece has enabled him to replicate the experiences of being a pilot. It’s such a convincing copy that he has been sought as a consultant by organizations that specialize in aircraft maintenance. I suggest you attempt a comparable feat, Taurus: creating a simulated version of what you want. I bet it will eventually lead you to the real thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The weather may be inclement where you live, so you may be resistant to my counsel. But I must tell you the meanings of the planetary omens as I understand them, and not fret about whether you’ll act on them. Here’s my prescription, lifted from Henry David Thoreau’s *Walden*: “We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.” And why does Thoreau say we need such experiences? “We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, to witness our own limits transgressed.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): Welcome to the most deliciously enigmatic, sensually mysterious phase of your astrological cycle. To provide you with the proper non-rational guidance, I have stolen scraps of dusky advice from the poet Dansk Javlarna (danskjavlarna.tumblr.com). Please read between the lines: 1. Navigate the ocean that roars within the seashell. 2. Carry the key, even if the lock has been temporarily lost. 3. Search through the deepest shadows for the bright light that cast them. 4. Delve into the unfathomable in wordless awe of the inexplicable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What exactly would a bolt of lightning taste like? I mean, if you could somehow manage to roll it around in your mouth without having to endure the white-hot shock. There’s a booze manufacturer that claims to provide this sensation. The company known as Oddka has created “Electricity Vodka,” hard liquor with an extra fizzy jolt. But if any sign of the zodiac could safely approximate eating a streak of lightning without the help of Electricity Vodka, it would be you Leos. These days you have a special talent for absorbing and enjoying and integrating fiery inspiration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Eighteenth-century painter Joshua Reynolds said that a “disposition to abstractions, to generalizing and classification, is the great glory of the human mind.” To that lofty sentiment, his fellow artist William Blake responded, “To generalize is to be an idiot; to particularize is the alone distinction of merit.” So I may be an idiot when I make the following generalization, but I think I’m right: In the coming weeks, it will be in your best interests to rely on crafty generalizations to guide your decisions. Getting bogged down in details at the expense of the big picture -- missing the forest for the trees -- is a potential pitfall that you can and should avoid.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal penned the novel *Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age.* It consists of one sentence. But it’s a long, rambling sentence -- 117 pages’ worth. It streams from the mouth of the narrator, who is an older man bent on telling all the big stories of his life. If there were ever to come a time when you, too, would have cosmic permission and a poetic license to deliver a onesentence, 117-page soliloquy, Libra, it would be in the coming weeks. Reveal your truths! Break through your inhibitions! Celebrate your epic tales! (P.S.: Show this horoscope to the people you’d like as your listeners.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When Pluto was discovered in 1930, astronomers called it the ninth planet. But 76 years later, they changed their mind. In accordance with shifting definitions, they demoted Pluto to the status of a mere “dwarf planet.” But in recent years, two renowned astronomers at Caltech have found convincing evidence for a new ninth planet. Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown are tracking an object that is much larger than Earth. Its orbit is so far beyond Neptune’s that it takes 15,000 years to circle the sun. As yet it doesn’t have an official name, but Batygin and Brown informally refer to it as “Phattie.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect that you, too, are on the verge of locating a monumental new addition to your universe. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The tomato and potato are both nightshades, a family of flowering plants. Taking advantage of this commonality, botanists have used the technique of grafting to produce a pomato plant. Its roots yield potatoes, while its vines grow cherry tomatoes. Now would be a good time for you to experiment with a metaphorically similar creation, Sagittarius. Can you think of how you might generate two useful influences from a single source? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some guy I don’t know keeps sending me emails about great job opportunities he thinks I’d like to apply for: a technical writer for a solar energy company, for example, and a social media intern for a business that offers travel programs. His messages are not spam. The gigs are legitimate. And yet I’m not in the least interested. I already have several jobs I enjoy, like writing these horoscopes. I suspect that you, too, may receive worthy but ultimately irrelevant invitations in the coming days, Capricorn. My advice: If you remain faithful to your true needs and desires, more apropos offers will eventually flow your way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The word “naysayer” describes a person who’s addicted to expressing negativity. A “yeasayer,” on the other hand, is a person who is prone to expressing optimism. According to my assessment of the astrological omens, you can and should be a creative yeasayer in the coming days -- both for the sake of your own well-being and that of everyone whose life you touch. For inspiration, study Upton Sinclair’s passage about Beethoven: He was “the defier of fate, the great yea-sayer.” His music is “like the wind running over a meadow of flowers, superlative happiness infinitely multiplied.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If I’m feeling prosaic, I might refer to a group of flamingos as a flock. But one of the more colorful and equally correct terms is a “flamboyance” of flamingos. Similarly, a bunch of pretty insects with clubbed antennae and big fluttery wings may be called a kaleidoscope of butterflies. The collective noun for zebras can be a dazzle, for pheasants a bouquet, for larks an exaltation, and for finches a charm. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m borrowing these nouns to describe members of your tribe. A flamboyance or kaleidoscope of Pisceans? Yes! A dazzle or bouquet or exaltation or charm of Pisceans? Yes! All of the above.
