‘Dragalution!’

‘Dragalution’ 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8 Doors open at 9:30 p.m.

Columbian Theater 1114 Marine Drive, Astoria $10 admission, $5 if you dress in drag 21 and over

Step out of your comfort zone, and celebrate your inner self.

This drag revolution hits Astoria’s Columbian Theater once again Friday, Aug. 8.

Cast member Jessamyn Grace works with two characters in the show: female Amanda Blowhard and male Pelvis Pressme. “They’re both very important to me,� she says. “They both come out at different times throughout the rehearsals and performances. I haven’t been able to choose one or the other. It’s been a very ambidextrous experience for me.�

When he first saw the show before he was a cast member, “I thought, ‘This is the most inappropriate thing I’ve ever seen in my life,’� Josh Conklin recalls. “But after awhile, you start seeing the message behind it, and what Marco’s trying to bring out: that acceptance.�

The idea that drag shows aren’t taboo was a pleasant thing to encounter, says Katie Breidenich, a local teacher who moved to the area from Michigan two years ago. The energy behind “Dragalution� is one thing that inspired her to audition.

t’s Friday night at the Columbian Theater, and the line stretches down the block. Astoria’s 21-and-over crowd have come out in full glory; there are colorful wigs and drawn-on mustaches; guys in dresses and girls in suits; sequins, leopard print and fishnet stockings. The air hums with energy. Friends huddle in groups, impatient for the doors to open.

One figure walks down the line, welcoming the crowd. She’s tall – especially in those heels. Vivid eyeshadow decorates smiling eyes, and her long, toned legs inspire envy. She sparkles and catches the light.

She’s Daylight Cums, she’s a drag queen and she welcomes you to “Dragalution.�

Experience ‘Dragalution’

With Davis leading the show as Daylight, the cast forms a family around him, supporting each other, working together and having a grand old time.

On stage, from left, David Drafall, Marco Davis and Josh Conklin rehearse choreography at the Columbian Theater. Davis, a chef at the Columbian Cafe, massage therapist and co-owner of the Astoria Arts and Movement Center, brings “Dragalution� to the stage twice a year in January and August.

says Mazzarella. “It’s sexual, and it’s explicit.

But it’s meant in the spirit of lightheartedness and love. It’s not meant to be offensive; it’s just very raw.�

Davis’ original songs are based on real life experiences – not all of which have been positive. “A big part of my mission with vocabulary – especially with vulgarity – is that I choose not to give those words power,� Davis says. “Words like that have been thrown at me my whole life – fag, fatty, butt pirate – so I don’t put negativity on words anymore; I just try to use them as adjectives. “We’re not there to offend; we’re just there to push the envelope,� he adds. “Sometimes we need that extra push to step beyond our comfort zone.�

Drag challenges traditional ideas of gender as a binary system, and it does so in a way that inspires creativity. “It becomes really important for a performer or a creative individual to be able to go into those deeper parts of themselves that may be drawn to things that society might not consider ‘normal,’� says cast member Jessamyn Grace, an equine massage practitioner who co-owns and runs the Astoria Arts and Movement Center with Davis. “For myself, personally, I have tendencies toward what is typically considered male, and then I have tendencies toward what’s typically considered female. I was raised to not think of gender being in a box. A lot of times that leaves the opening for creativity to present itself.�

Fear is an underlying aspect to the whole equation. Most people like to be told what to do or how to be, Davis says, and in following a laid-out path, they avoid fear and inner questions. Going on a journey of self-exploration can be scary – especially when you’re visible on stage in a sold-out show at the Columbian The-

Express yourself

Moving beyond your comfort zone into a safe space of creativity and self-expression is a big part of what “Dragalution� is all about. “Drag transcends the sexes. I think that’s

something most people get afraid of; they think it’s something just for big old gays,� Davis says. “But our drag revolution isn’t about sexuality; it’s about personal expression.�

In short, drag is for everyone.

In previous versions of “Dragalution,� performers focused on different aspects of drag. In the 2013 debut, the cast – gay, straight, male and female – dressed as drag queens and acted with exaggerated femininity. In the show this past January, the cast went in the opposite direction, channeled their inner masculinity and created a chorus of drag kings behind Daylight.

With Friday’s show, Davis has let cast members choose to present who they are in drag: masculine traits, feminine mannerisms, even gender-bending mash-ups. “I just want them to bring it, and I want it to be larger than who they are but an extension of themselves,� he says. “It’s been really interesting to see because people are bringing out their heels again and some people are getting wigs. I’m really excited to see how it blends together for this show.�

David Drafall says “Dragalution� shows people they can do anything they put their mind to. “I never thought I’d ever dance around in heels; I never thought I could do it. And now I’m proficient at it. When we were in the (Regatta) parade last year, I actually ran in six-inch heels.�

ater, which holds about 300 people. “I’m always afraid before I perform,� Grace says. “When you start to be free with those aspects of yourself in front of a very wonderful, close-knit community, there is some risk involved in that.�

But then: “There’s no growth without risk.

3HULRG ´ VKH VD\V ³7UXH ¿ UH DOZD\V VWDUWV ZLWK fear.�

Dressing in drag can be a way to move from fear to personal growth. For Davis, drag is a way to acknowledge fear and parade it out – and in so doing, let it go. “I don’t want it to hold me back.

So I make sure I dress it up and make it even bigger,â€? he says. “I think our inner journeys are WKH PRVW GLIÂż FXOW RQHV DQG WKH RQHV ZH SXW RII the longest in our lives. If we start trusting ourselves that it’s OK to take chances on exploring those inner questions we have – whatever they may be – then we’re going to be a little richer in spirit and in action toward one another and toward ourselves.â€?

I have been sitting at my keyboard now for a long time, trying to choose just the right words to describe Tony and Ann Kischner. Nothing short of giants in the local restaurant scene, the Kischners enjoyed a legendary, 28-year tenure at the Shoalwater restaurant at the Shelburne Inn in Seaview, Washington. (The restaurant at The Shelburne FRQWLQXHV WR RIIHU H[HPSODU\ Âż QH GLQLQJ QRZ DW the helm of innkeepers David Campiche and Laurie Anderson.)

The Bridgewater Bistro in Astoria is truly a local treasure and a culinary destination, and the Kischners have breathed such tremendous life and vision into what was once the dilapidated Union Fish Co-operative Cannery’s boatyard.

Beyond that, the Kischners are committed to exceptional customer service, and they treat every patron as if he or she is a friend coming over for dinner, with a warm welcome and gracious hospitality.

But I digress – lots of wonderful dishes to mention, so on with the review!

On a recent visit, I began with edamame-roasted garlic-tahini hummus dip with quinoa tabbouleh salad and toasted pita chips. If you regularly read my reviews, you may have gathered that I am a bit of a nut for hummus and Mediterranean cuisine, and the hummus prepared at the Bridgewater is second to none, with the smoky, tangy bite of tahini. +RXVH VPRNHG VDOPRQ DQG EULH FKHHVH RQ À DW bread crackers, topped with red onion shavings and a maple-honey drizzle was also outstanding.

HOURS: Open from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; and from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Now also open for Sunday brunch.

PRICES: Most dinner entrees are in the high $20 range; $32 was the top price I saw. I didn’t even blink over what I paid: The food was so exceptional, the space so lovely and the service so excellent that it seemed well worth every penny. Lunch prices are reasonable with most entrees hovering between $10 and $15.

SERVICE: Our service was second to none. Owner Tony Kischner stopped by our table to make a wine recommendation after I requested one, and we had an enjoyable chat for well over 10 minutes. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive.

DRINKS: An impressive selection of wines and beer, including local favorites from Fort George Brewery, and a full bar.

Biannual drag show encourages everyone to be themselves Continued from Page 12

“Dragalution� creates a safe place for freedom of expression and acceptance without judgment or ridicule. “A lot of people keep themselves guarded and don’t let people in,� says cast member Josh Conklin, 24. “That’s one of the great things about ‘Dragalution’; it brings down those barriers and forces people to show others who they are without being scared of judgments.� “The whole mission is to give ourselves permission to live more openly and freely and not be afraid to shine,�

Astoria is the place for a drag revolution

ing in our culture now is acceptance, that people are different than just that blackand-white mold,� says cast member and native Astorian Dinah Urell, publisher of HIPFiSHmonthly. “It’s really important to be able to express that in joy.�

Davis says he chose to do the shows in Astoria because the community continually surprises him. “Being a child who grew up here and a victim of being beat up every day in high school, it’s just incredible to me to see how progressive and open minded Astoria’s become and continues to change. I like being a part of that,� he says.

Drafall, who has been a resident for 27 years, agrees that Astoria has transformed

“I’m actually going to borrow a hair mustache to glue onto my face, but I haven’t gotten it yet,� Andrea Mazzarella says of her gender-bending costume.

“Dragalution� includes original choreography, vocals and music. At rehearsal two weeks to go before Friday’s show, not everything was in place. Cast members were still refining their drag personas and costumes – and dance steps.

‘Dragalution’ does Regatta After the Friday night performance, cast members will put their wigs, heels and Isis wings back on for the “Dragalution� float in the Astoria Regatta Grand Land Parade. Last year’s float won the President’s Award. into a more inclusive community. “There’s a huge gay and lesbian population here.

It’s a very loving town; it’s an artist community,� he says. “You can do anything and it’s accepted in this town for the most part. I mean, I can walk down the street in Astoria holding hands with my boy-

Urell says “Dragalutionâ€? and its message of growth and acceptance is in line with the spirit of Astoria.

The opportunity to unleash your inner self and have fun isn’t limited to the cast during “Dragalution.� A mix of different people in the community come out to see and en-

If you’re uncertain what to wear, don’t sweat it; embrace the creativity and just have fun. “If people are a little bit afraid, that’s fantastic,â€? Grace says. “Just rise up to meet that.

ASTORIA — Show your support for the longest-running community theater group on the North Coast, the Astor Street Opry Company, by purchasing Miss Virginia and Miss Vivian buttons from local establishments. Napa Auto Parts in Warrenton and Old Town Framing Company in Astoria are sponsors for this year’s contest.

Each establishment chooses a representative as its Miss Vivian, the rough saloon own-

ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will host the opening and artist reception of selections from “Delta” and “From Here On,” photographic work by Robbie McClaran of Portland, from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9.

For more than 30 years, McClaran has been documenting the American people and landscape. His work has been widely published in publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Time, Smithsonian, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, Forbes and Reader’s Digest.

Since the 1970s McClaran has been making books of his photography. The entire collection of prints from McClaran’s controversial 1997 book, “Angry White Men,” is in the permanent collection of the University of Oregon Special Collections Library.

“The pace of change in contemporary America over the past couple of decades has been dizzying. I travel often, DQG , ¿QG WKH FRUSRUDWH FRPPRGL¿HG VDPHQHVV WR EH HPSty and soulless,” he says. “As vital and exhilarating as our modern hyper-connected WiFi networked world can be, I am often left wanting something more connected to the past, something more authentic.

Over the course of several road trips, McClaran sough out the essence of that disappearing America, which the traveler RQO\ ¿QGV RII WKH IUHHZD\ DQG on state and county roads.

“A place where the mythology of the American dream is fading for many yet remains a powerful reality in the minds of others,” McClaran calls it.

“The spark of the work occurred during several return visits to my hometown and surrounding area in the deep South where I observed the economic and social decline the region has experienced in the 40 years since I left home,”

“Shane - Watson, Arkansas,” above, from the “Delta” project. “Sunflowers - South Dakota” from the “From Here On” project.

McClaran says. “Recording scenes of abandonment and decay, I sought the beauty within and the spirit that remains within the people and the land.

Over time I visited other places throughout the country that have deeply personal connections for me, my mother’s birthplace in Ohio, the lake cabin I spent summers in my youth.”

Selections from “Delta” and “From Here On” will be on view in the gallery to Sept. 9.

Hear 3-Voices at KALA

ASOC presents punk blues

Kamila Swerdloff, Sofie Kline and Dinah Urell perform together Aug. 13

ASTORIA — Three local artists come together to share an evening of music performance; KALA presents 3-Voices at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13. .DPLOD 6ZHUGORII 6R¿H Kline and Dinah Urell – while at different points in their lives – have discovered they share a common interest in exploring a different sector of performance than they are typically known for. For a short time, the three will be in one place at the same time. 3-Voices is an opportunity to support one another in concert and share the unknown.

A native Astorian, Swerdloff recently graduated from Ithaca College with a bachelor’s degree in piano performance. Locally she is known for her classical prowess.

However, Swerdloff will soon relocate to Austin, Texas, where she will continue developing her songwriting craft, which is in the pop/folk/blues basket. She keeps a notepad crammed with written phrases like “downtown sheep,� “nice ankles,� and “postmodern

contempt,� in hopes the phrases will inspire a new song.

For Swerdloff, songwriting is an outlet for expression. Her songs are harmony driven and LQĂ€XHQFHG E\ -RKQ /HJHQG Philip Glass, Pablo Neruda and sensual French drama.

Kline, an Astoria transplant, has been seen in numerous theater productions. A regular Liberty Theater Reader’s Theater stage player, her most recent role was Nora in Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House� at the Coaster Theater. In 2009, Kline was gifted an upright piano, which became her soul mate and songwriting companion.

Kline’s songs are emotions expressed into the tonal ZRUOG 6KH LV LQÀXHQFHG E\ KHU background in theater, which comes through in her playful DQG ZLWW\ O\ULFV DQG ÀXLG YRcal expression. In the fall, she heads to Ashland to attend Southern Oregon University where she will continue her studies in theater.

to exercise her vocal pipes in performances, and quite often just for the walls and spirits who are listening. As a child, Urell used to play improvisational piano for hours, driving her mother crazy, but she had no interest in taking lessons.

Later she would study vocal music and threw herself into rock, jazz and guitar. Of late, accompanying herself on piano, she creates minimalist arrangements: emotional landscapes to transport the imagination while she physically stays planted in Astoria. One of her favorite contemporary composers is Ryuichi Sakamoto.

KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive. Admission is $6; doors open at 7:30 p.m.

ASTORIA — The Astor Street Opry Company will host Bonnie Bentley and the Phantom Teardrops at the ASOC Playhouse from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, featuring lead singer and guitarist Bonnie Bentley, Patrick Lines on harmonicas, Arthur Beardsley on bass and Jeff Carden on drums.

The band plays a brand of music it calls “punk blues,� a fusion of old songs and original tunes blending a sound reminiscent of the 1964 “British Invasion.�

With no stage fright to be found, Bentley still writes

original songs like her hero Patti Smith and slings the guitar with moves like her champion Keith Richards.

All the while, the band rebels against music that is too slick and channels the rawness of WKH ÂżUVW JHQHUDWLRQV RI HOHFWULF blues and punk, taking over one fan at a time.

Bentley bounced in and out of the Portland music scene with her bands The New Creatures and The Twist as they appeared at clubs like Satyricon, Crystal Ballroom, Louis La Bamba and White Eagle.

Locally, the band has been heard and seen at venues and events including KALA, the 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW %UHZ &XS the Peninsula Arts Center, McMenamins Sand Trap Pub, Moody’s Supper Club, The Irish Pub, Seaside Farmers Market and Sweet Basil’s.

The group’s new EP “The Phantom Teardrops,� like a train, keeps on rolling, and their music never fails to impress and entertain; it will surely be a night of dancing and fun. Miss Vivian’s Saloon will be open with refreshments to purchase, and there is a $5 cover charge at the door.

“Rain Dragon”

by Jon Raymond

Bloomsbury, 2012 Available at select coastal bookstores Plot Notes: Damon and Amy risk everything by leaving L.A. and heading north in search of a home of grand ideas: commu-

nal, sustainable, compassionate. They find Rain Dragon, Peter Hawk’s three-decade-old creamery, famous for its yogurt, but more a bustling farm of human innovation in the shadow of Mt. Hood. Here you can build a greenhouse, turn manure into renewable energy, create a single-press tortilla factory.

You earn your keep with your niche. You can belong. Amy quickly develops a passion for beekeeping. Damon struggles through farm life only to find a talent for PR. But, when Damon and Amy break up after settling in, will ideas be enough for them to find self-fulfillment? And can a company that

harnesses invention and philosophy survive capital ambitions?

Take Away: Raymond excels at writing characters you already know. They may deliver your CSA; they could be in the stall next to you at the farmers market. While it would be easier to parody granola culture, or drag these people down into types, Raymond’s characters feel fully formed. These are smart, likable, fragile and flawed animals capable of making human mistakes and worthy of triumph. Their dramas and comedies arise organically from their recognizable soil.

The novel is smartly divided into four parts named after the seasons, and its concerns still feel new and incredibly relevant.

Recommended For: Farmsteaders, dreamers, beachcombers and anyone who buys heirloom tomatoes. Fans of Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” should check this out. Readers of contemporary literature about contemporary issues will enjoy Raymond’s solid prose and straightforward storytelling.

Bonus: Jon Raymond, a native Portlander, and author of the novel “The HalfLife” and the Oregon Book Award-winning story collection “Livability,” is also a prolific screenwriter. Currently, his first collaboration with Kelly Reichardt, “Old Joy,” is available to stream on Netflix. Their newest film, “Night Moves,” starring Jesse Eisenberg and Dakota Fanning, was released in select cities in May.

Uff da! [oof duh] interjection

1. an all-inclusive exclamation introduced to the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest of the United States by 19th-century Scandinavian immigrants. Similar to theYiddish oyvey, the expression has no single fixed meaning, but can express excitement, dread, disappointment, shock or dismay (usually mild) depending on the user’s tone within a given context

Origin: From the Norwegian, uff, an interjection used primarily to express pain, sadness or fear, and da, meaning “then” or “when.”

“Morning Light”

by Barbara Drake Oregon State University Press available October 2014

Country life: In the 1980s, Barbara Drake and her husband moved from Portland to a small farm in the Yamhill Valley.

What was meant to be a temporary relocation became a deep appreciation of rural Oregon.

Personal and entertaining, this book is full of native wildflowers, night skies, an old family recipe for wild blackberry pudding, and reflections on considering your place in the continuum of history.

“ERIC OLSEN (the Norwegian hero): But Mama, Papa said he met you under the table in the beer garden?!
