Americana musician plays the Sou’Wester SEAVIEW, Wash. — The Sou’Wester Lodge will host Americana musician Barna Howard for a performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 11. The show is open to the public, and there is no cover charge. Howard was born and raised in a quintessential Midwest town. His youth in Eureka, Missouri, was pure Americana: the sort of childhood that inspired “E.T.â€?-era Spielberg — baseball cards LQ KLV ELF\FOH VSRNHV Ă€\LQJ freely down Main Street and through neighbors’ backyards. However, much of Barna’s story is not unique to his hometown, and, like most of small town America, Eureka has lost some of that charm over time. Main Street has changed, kids don’t run around quite so carelessly, and in an

almost laughably cruel twist, his childhood home was knocked down in favor of a Walmart parking lot. After high school, Howard moved north to study animation in one cold and windy city and then east for love in another. Years later, he blindly followed two friends to the Northwest, crossing the RockLHV IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH LQ VHDUFK of inspiration, opportunity and a fresh start. Barna’s self-titled debut album chronicled these moves as he struggled with the contrast between his small town upbringing and these big city wanderings.

ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery celebrates its seventh anniversary with the opening and artists’ reception of the “Plastic Fantastic Show VII” from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 11. This annual group exhibit originated with LightBox’s love for images made with basic plastic “toy” ¿OP FDPHUDV DQG DV D ZD\ to celebrate the gallery’s anniversary each year. A large number of photographers from around the world shoot images with these basic cameras, creating unique photos that are captured on film. This photographic method has gained popularity because of the images achieved using cameras with less than perfect optics and control lead to unpredictable and sometimes extraordinarily beautiful results. Internationally renowned ¿QH DUW SKRWRJUDSKHU 6XVDQ Burnstine of Los Angeles once again juried the exhibit. Burnstine uses homemade cameras consisting of plastic lenses and vintage camera and household parts. She has become an acclaimed photographic DUWLVW VKRRWLQJ ZLWK ¿OP DQG using rudimentary cameras of her own design. “It is once again a great honor to act as juror for ‘Plastic Fantastic VII.’ I’m continuously surprised and inspired by the remarkable quality of work that is submitted to this one-of-akind show, which is the last to solely honor the magic of plastic, pinhole and homemade cameras shot exclusively with film,” Burnstine said. “I congratulate everyone who was selected for this exhibit and applaud everyone who submitted.

11 ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 11. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

ART BUSINESSES 1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Imogen Gallery presents a solo exhibition for established artist Marc Boone, who has enjoyed a career spanning both coasts but now calls Ocean Park, Washington, home. It is here that he’s found his newest muse: the grand Pacific Ocean. For his exhibition “Pacific Portals: Arcane Image” he brings a series of oil and watercolor paintings exploring the thin line where earth meets sky. For Boone, this series is the result of a search for the magic of nature. 2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. “Aqueous” is a solo exhibition of bamboo sculpture by nationally recognized Oregon artist Charissa Brock, who is lauded for her creative use of bamboo in all of its many forms. She has worked with bamboo as her chosen medium since 1999 and has demonstrated an unflagging desire to explore new permutations of using the plant as an art material. In the Alcove, Portland artist Karen Story presents “Beyond the Surface,” a series of encaustic paintings inspired both by her lifelong connections to water and her love of the figure in art. Her chosen medium, encaustic, is a mix of beeswax, pigment and tree resin. Her work is process oriented with an emphasis on the many layers below the surface. The application of translucent and opaque layers, each one burnt in to the previous, builds a complex and varied underpainting. 3. Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Why did Don Nisbett cross the river? To come to the art walk! Old Town Framing will host artist Don Nisbett from Ilwaco, Washington,

for the next art walk and display his work June 11 to Aug. 11. Nisbett will be featuring his original watercolors depicting the Astoria-Megler Bridge as well as other local scenes and themes. Nisbett will also be releasing several originals from local event posters of years past, including the Great Columbia Crossing and the Astoria-Warrenton Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival. Prints, tiles, cards and magnets are also available. Wear your Astoria Pride T-shirt and buy one card, get one free, June 11 during art walk only. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature work by six local artists: acrylic paintings by Ed Peterson, fabric art hangings by Alexandra Myers, local land and seascapes by Thron Riggs, watercolors and acrylic paintings by Phyllis Taylor, monotypes and acrylic paintings by Vicki Baker and photographs by Carol Smith. All of the artists will be present during art walk. Refreshments will be served. 5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive In conjunction with inaugural

Astoria Pride celebration, KALA presents the “The Coast is Queer” with special guest curator, noted Portland gallerist Mark Woolley. The exhibit celebrates the diverse art being produced in Oregon by queer-identified artists. The selected artists are queer, and but not all of them necessarily explore queerness in their art — they are just producing interesting, well-crafted and original works that reflect their inner vision. Artists include Paul Soriano, Dorothy Goode, Wesley Youni, Chuck E. Bloom, Tabor Porter and Greg Carrigan, Marne Lucas and Sid Deluca. Complimentary appetizers, and a no-host cocktail bar continues through the evening; light dancing will follow art walk. 6. Ratz & Co. 260 10th St. Entering its third year here in Astoria, Ratz & Co. features the illustrations, album covers and paintings of Dave McMacken. The studio/gallery also shows the work of Portland artist Jackie Avery and Frank Zappa’s lifelong art director, Cal Schenkel. McMacken is also introducing his new logo and ads for Bill Brooks “Dos Huevos Locos,” a new, crazy hot bowl, now being served at Astoria Coffee Co. Refeshments will be served. 7. Astoria Art Loft 106 Third St. From 3 to 6 p.m., Astoria Art Loft will feature painter René Rowe, who brings a rich background, including a career in IT with Fortune 500 companies, a decade of managing high-end galleries, and an art career that includes painting in oil, acrylic and watercolor, creating small sculptures, and other media. The loft is filled with Rowe’s landscapes, cityscapes and seascapes as well as vibrant

non-objective works. Her work emphasizes brilliant color, fine design and diversity of subject matter.

ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART 8. AVA Artist in Residence 1170 Commercial St. Painter Meghann Hanour will showcase some of her works in progress from a new series of richly detailed, large-scale acrylic paintings. 9. AVA Artist in Residence 80 11th St. above Edison Bros. Fish Co. Rachel Jensen and David Plechl will be on hand to share the progress on their collaborative project, a process that involves a lot of give and take. “One can’t get too attached as textures are built up, sanded down or painted over. At times, obfuscation of intent and accident takes shape, suggesting the unseen hand of a ‘third artist’… Works on canvas give way to works on paper. Independent gestures are echoed and affirmed.” 10. Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Mary Gaffney along with her brother, Richard Kuensting, come together to share creative works reflecting the elements of “Rock Paper Scissors.” Describing herself as a “closet collager,” Gaffney was first introduced to CitraSolv art four years ago. CitraSolv is a natural cleaner and degreaser made from Valencia oranges. “Discovering the unique properties of CitraSolv opened the door to my dormant creative energy,”she says. “I use CitraSolv to manipulate the ink on the pages of National Geographic.” As an artist, Kuensting explores many varied means of expression. Sometimes creating, just for the activity itself, sometimes a desire to make a signature statement; sometimes just play. The ceramic pieces on display during art walk represent two distinct times and processes: The larger coil-built forms were done about four years ago. Recently Kuensting has been working on a potter wheel, but not in the expected throwing methods one usually expects; instead, he uses soft clay and a slow turning wheel, shaping forms in the techniques of a hand-built pinched form. 11. Forsythea 1124 Commercial St. Zemula Fleming’s art pieces are compelling in their execution;

Help attack a notorious weed at Circle Creek SEASIDE — Impatiens glandulifera — an invasive plant better known as policeman’s helmet — is becoming a scourge in the Necanicum River watershed. Help arrest this public enemy at Circle Creek Habitat Reserve at a volunteer stewardship day with North Coast Land Conservancy from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 11. Native to Asia, policeman’s helmet is named for the plant’s white, pink or purple Àowers, whose shape resembles an old-fashioned British policeman’s helmet. It was ¿rst sighted in the Necanicum River watershed about three years ago and has since spread widely. It thrives in moist riparian areas such as the Àoodplain at Circle Creek, where volunteers will be working. Dense patches of po-

liceman’s helmet choke out other plant species and reduce native plant and animal diversity while increasing the risk of stream bank erosion. When touched, the plant’s mature seedpods split and eject seeds up to 20 feet. A single plant can produce up to 800 seeds, which remain viable for 18 months or more and can even germinate under water. NCLC has timed this stewardship day — a partnership with Necanicum Watershed Council — to pull up plants before they have a chance to set seeds. If you’d like to help, contact NCLC Stewardship Director Melissa Reich at 503-738-9126, melissar@ nclctrust.org, for directions. Visit NCLCtrust.org for more information and a fact sheet about this weed.

Two blocks of the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display at the Armory from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday. Started in 1987, the quilt is a visual memorial to people who have died from AIDS.

Cannon Beach Gallery opens ‘Landscape as Perception’ CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Arts Association gallery will hold a reception for its new show, “Landscape as Perception,â€? from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 11. An artist talk is planned from 10:30 a.m. to noon June 18. “Landscape as Perceptionâ€? is the Cannon Beach Gallery’s contribution to the Plein Air & More festival, which takes place June 24, 25 and 26. The show runs June 11 to July 10. The show is curated by Janet Bland, a talented landscape artist in her own right. She has selected the work of three artists — Jef Gunn, Joan Stuart Ross and Michael Southern — who each approach the representation of landscape in fresh and different ways: in image as well as medium and location. “How we perceive is so individual — we bring with it all the emotions of the day,â€? Bland said. “The same place is never the same painting. What artists do goes through D ÂżOWHU ÂżOOHG ZLWK HPRWLRQ history, experience and even the quality of their eyesight. Everything will be different

tomorrow, and the artist is ‘recording/conveying’ how it felt and looked today ‌ at this moment in their lives. “My hope is the viewer, will walk away from this exhibit with an expanded view of ‘what is landscape,’ that your ideas and perception have been challenged and changed.â€? Jef Gunn was born in Seattle, and returned there following his studies in drawing and painting in California through the 1970s and a period living in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s. He now lives in Portland. Gunn is a passionate student of Asian art, and his work draws on multiple lineages of art, culture and spiritual legend. His own family legend tells of his maternal grandfather being ERUQ XQGHU WKH Ă€RRUERDUGV during an Indian raid in 1890s Saskatchewan. Gunn has taught painting and drawing in Seattle since the mid 1990s, has participated in multiple group exhibits at the Art Gym, Marylhurst University and Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, and had a solo show at Oregon State University in

He obtained a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking from the University of Georgia in Athens in 1995.

are imagined, representing no particular area and are created entirely in the studio. These paintings have evolved over the years as his research into the techniques and materials of the old masters continued. “I see landscape as a metaphor for an ideal place,â€? Southern said. “Painting is the physical act of constructing my home; a place of refuge.

Her non-linear narratives celebrate the transient nature of light and how it can make the opaque appear translucent. “Some of my inspiration draws from the Great Basin’s windy ‘high lonesome,’ the Northwest’s fog and mist, the ecstatic race of surf and spume and the subtext of items from personal history,� Ross said. “My work is obsessive and repetitive.

BOOK SHELF // GLIMPSE // WILDLIFE // POP CULTURE // WORDS // Q&A // FOOD // FUN

Shopping in funky shops on the Oregon Coast can unearth some gems.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE I had five minutes to burn before meeting a friend for sushi in Astoria. Why not kill time in a funky shop? Five minutes in a funky shop on the Oregon Coast can change your life. I would know. Curio, a vintage clothing and collectables shop on 12th Street, caught my eye. I had five minutes before sushi and five minutes before they closed at 5 p.m. The fives were aligned. I went book hunting, and Colleen Siegfried, the kindly proprietor, suggested a couple of mystery titles. No, I wasn’t in the mood. Colleen then dug out a couple of books stashed behind the counter and handed them to me.

She knew about the author. I didn’t. I’d never heard of him: Joe Carducci. “Wyoming Stories” was a collection of screenplays, and I passed. The other book was titled “Enter Naomi: SST. L.A. And All That,” published in 2007 by Redoubt Press in

Wyoming. I began perusing it. It was about a female photographer roughly my same age. Not more than a few pages in, I felt something akin to vertigo overtake me. I thumbed quickly through the entire book and saw photographs of punk rock bands, comics, punk rock concert posters, illustrations, journal entries, article and zine excerpts, letters, post cards, and other ephemera connected to the life of the photographer, Naomi Petersen, who died in 2003. There I was in Astoria of all places, holding a book that documented in an utterly unconventional way, the life of Petersen, who gained some fame as a photographer of the seminal Los Angeles punk rock scene from the 1980s, and later forged a career, if career is the word, in the punk rock record promotion industry. I might also add that Carducci published the book himself — very punk rock. This is why I shop places like Curio; you never know what cultural artifact will turn up or what cultural idea from the past will assault you. Maybe it’s time I started thinking about punk rock again. I think we need it more than ever.

COLUMBIA BAR

Krystal’s Liquid Cocaine By RYAN HUME

The Desdemona Club loomed quite large as it was near empty on a recent afternoon. Three pool tables and a shuffleboard stood unused in the large game room. Sitting at the bar provided a more intimate space at the Dirty D. With the thick wood paneling behind the bar and a series of porthole windows directly to my left, it was not too hard to imagine oneself stuck in the galley on a ship of lost souls. The semis roaring by outside on Marine Drive only intensified the feeling of shifting buoyancy underfoot. With no Dramamine in sight, the bartender on duty, Krystal Fowler, a recent addition to the Dirty D’s denizens, offered me something even more potent. No one really seems sure how Liquid Cocaine got its name. There’s also plenty of disagreement on what constitutes a Liquid Cocaine: Is it a cocktail or a shot? Its base ingredients can run the gambit from Jägermeister to

Goldschlager to Southern Comfort. What each version seems to have in common is a type of rum mixed with a copious amount of other boozes. The recipe offered here by Fowler, which she picked up in St. Helen’s a decade ago, is often classified as a California Liquid Cocaine, and do beware — like Clapton says in the song, “If you wanna get down, down on the ground. Cocaine.” Though the music in the Dirty D that accompanied my beverage that afternoon was a little more permissive. My Liquid Cocaine materialized just as Mötley Crüe took to the speakers with “Kickstart My Heart.” By the time my straw was searching the bottom of my glass four or five songs later, the Crüe returned with Dr. Feelgood. That can’t be a coincidence, right?

Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria.” His books are available at coastal bookstores or through his website, nestuccaspitpress.com
