EDITOR’S NOTE SAMANTHA BAKALL

There’s something about summer that brings nostalgic thoughts and activities. Maybe it’s because most students now have three months of freedom from schoolwork, and there’s time to do all the things you used to do. The nostalgic thoughts and activities started kicking in, for me, a few days ago. It all started with toast with cinnamon sugar. I’ve received mixed comments on toast with cinnamon sugar. Apparently, some of you never stopped eating it — kudos to you for staying true to your younger selves. I don’t know why I did, but I made it for a late-night snack yesterday, and it’s all I’ve been eating since. I was first introduced to this ridiculously delicious snack by my mom when I was a youngin’. The best part about it is it’s so simple. Toast + butter + cinnamon sugar = heaven. Every time I eat it, it brings me back to my childhood. Suddenly, I’m standing on a chair — because I can’t reach the toaster otherwise — popping two slices of bread in and uncovering the butter dish. The jar of cinnamon sugar sits open next to my plate and I’ve got a butter knife in hand. I grab the bread, slather on some butter and liberally, and I mean liberally, sprinkle on the sugar. A few minutes later, I’ve eaten the edges off of both slices because the middles are my favorite (and you always save the best for last, right?). The next minute, I’m licking sugar off my fingers and wondering whether or not I should make more... Another thing I love doing over the summers is re-reading books from my childhood. One thing I have kept up every summer is my habitual rereading of all the Harry Potter books. It’s a little dorky, I know, but I love it. And I’ve read them so many times, that I’ve expedited the process. At this point, I can probably get through the entire series in a week if I’m not doing anything. Two, if I want a bit of a social life. You’d think I’d have memorized the storyline by now, but I haven’t. I still get the thrill of re-remembering scenes in the book and little details that get left out, unfortunately, of the movies. Thankfully, summer is here and I’ve got my books. Time to start reading! I’ll see y’all in a week!

by Max Huppert Congratulations to all those walking the stage at commencement this weekend. From all of us at buzz, we hope that you do not trip and fall in the process, and that you can make your family members or whoever else is watching you extremely proud and happy for at least one moment in your lives. In fact, congratulations to myself as well, because I am one of the lucky ones who will be participating in the ceremonies! Amongst all this crazy business of renting a cap and gown and picking up tickets and remembering what your major is, don’t forget that this Sunday, May 13, also happens to be Mother’s Day. Campus-wide commencement and many others fall on this date, and I bet there is a good chance your mother will be in attendance. With that in mind, if you haven’t already, maybe you should just go out and buy her something now. Seriously. It’s at least Thursday by the time you’re reading this, and I know you have some parties to go to, so the clock is ticking. You wouldn’t want your mother to swell up with all that pride at your academic accomplishments only to realize that you forgot her role in getting you there, now would you? And of course, to all of those who will not be graduating this weekend: have a great summer and keep on grinding. One day you will reach the top of that high and glorious mountain and wonder how you are going to get back down. Photo by Zach Dalzell, Design by Lauren Blackburn, model: Samantha Bakall

» Spontaneous trips to Walgreens: Admit it. You’ve all done this at some point. You’ve taken a trip to Walgreens for some weirdo hankering you were having. Recently, I went for ice cream. And not just any ice cream. I wanted cake-flavored ice cream. Do you know how hard it is to actually find cake-flavored ice cream? You’d think Ice Cream Makers United would have realized that the only thing better than cake is cake mixed with ice cream. Duh. But Walgreens, you did have cake ice cream and it was glorious.

GRIPES » Chelsea Handler: I don’t enjoy girl bashing, but these three people are awful. Did you know Chelsea Handler is the writer of that stupid book about drinking, and the star of that stupid show that glorifies every stupid person in Hollywood? I listened to Chelsea’s WTF podcast interview, and I hated her. She was shrill, image-obsessed and just vapid. Why is this person so popular? Oh, because most of her viewers are shrill, image-obsessed and vapid. At least she’s the only talent-less lady parading around Hollywood.

» Whitney Cummings: Oh wait. Whitney was a model for a while, but then she stopped with full intentions of making the country dumber. Six months after she started standup, an agent realized she was a) pretty, b) risque, but still primetime inoffensive and c) easy to mold with plastic surgery (look at those strange, alien lips). So, Whitney is responsible for her own godforsaken abortion of a show, Whitney (never once funny in 21 episodes!) and 2 Broke Girls (allowing Kat Dennings a way to eat her favorite food, canned Fancy Feast). My biggest problem with Whitney is she acts like she’s this you-go-girl feminist who’s down for free sex and female empowerment (she wrote a lame blog defending Lana Del Ray), but actually, she’s just a slave to conventional standards of beauty and hack jokes. She sucks worse than anyone. » Zooey Douchenelle: First she ruined Death Cab for Cutie, and now she’s ruining Fox. I hate how disinterested Zooey looks in EVERY ROLE SHE’S EVER PLAYED. You can tell she’s thinking, “I wish I was making music with M. Ward instead of this crap.” Guess what, Zooey? Your 500 Days of Summer are coming to an end! You weren’t cast in Elf 2 (a fan-fiction screenplay I wrote myself in a spiral notepad); Ben Gibbard doesn’t like you anymore (he only likes licensing his music to crappy foreign car commercials); and nobody even cares about Garden State anymore! True, that movie stars Natalie Portman, but it’s Zooey’s favorite movie, which is just another reason she’s obnoxious. buzz

End of the year recap buzz’s Food and Drink writers recap this past semester’s food-related happenings by buzz Food and Drink staff

THE LAST WEEK OF FINALS always punctuates the end of the year and starts up the whole mess of feelings that is “Where has the year gone?” and reminiscing over the memories that have been had with friends, with roommates and fellow classmates. For the Food and Drink section of buzz, many of those memories were framed by the food that we’ve eaten or conquered or dissected this past semester.

“

» Stacey Klouda – Food is something that’s always changing, adapting, growing — it’s something as alive as the people who make and eat it. So with a community as lively as this one, I was never really surprised by all the changes that have taken place this year. We’ve seen a few college standbys fall by the wayside (Antonio’s and Big Mouth’s, anyone?), a few favorites rise from the ashes (Za’s and Zorba’s), and plenty of new names pop up on the Green Street strip. After a year as a buzz Food and Drink writer, here are a few of my favorite food moments — a steaming bowl of J. Gumbo’s Cajun concoctions on a cold, February day, my first taste of Black Dog and Mas Amigos, and just chilling with a bottle of red and a few of my favorite people. » Haley Soehn – This year, I moved into my first apartment with a great supply of cookbooks, cooking utensils and a desire for delicious food. I don’t know if it was in a bitter anti-dining hall 4

buzz

movement or if it’s because I actually do love quality, homemade food (It was probably a combination of the two). Well, in an unfortunate and predictable turn of events, I got busy. Classes and a super high level of involvement on campus took priority over cooking. Lean Pockets and frozen vegetables became more feasible and common than the homemade soups and chili I had planned to cook all year. The good news? I’ll be in Champaign all summer. I’ll still have my cookbooks, pots and pans, and George Foreman grill. The slow cooker isn’t going anywhere. I won’t have exams or papers, meetings or interviews. I’m fairly opti-

noddles and spring rolls. With work, my internship and school, I got so busy that I didn’t even have time to cook. Then I would go there, sit in the corner and eat alone. Food is so important. Everybody needs to be fed with some kinds of food, a good mix of junk food and healthy food. I almost tried everything on campus, so now my next goal will move on to downtown Champaign. There are so many wonderful and unique cafes and restaurants just waiting for me to explore. » Jordan Ramos – Have you ever tried something new and then immediately been like, “Aw man! Why didn’t I try this before! I’ve been missing

Have you ever tried something new and then immediately been like, “Aw, man! Why didn’t I try this before! I’ve been missing out on pure bliss my entire life!”? mistic that I’ll be able to fulfill my goal of cooking some quality cuisine in college. » Karen Chen – When Zyggy’s closed, I was sad. It was one of the quiet places on campus that I could eat alone and chill and think. But its replacement, Bangkok Thai Restaurant, is cool. I was one of the earliest costumers. I love its pho, Vietnamese

out on pure bliss my entire life!”? That was my experience with Fat Sandwich about a month ago. My boyfriend and I get on huge levels of fat status when we’re together, and he was really intrigued that Fat Sandwich offered the freedom to put falafel on his sandwich. So while he did that, I ordered the Fat Sorostitute, and my life hasn’t

been the same since. Even though I completely hated myself after and my arteries felt as though they would never unclog, I couldn’t help feeling at peace. Buffalo chicken, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers and fries are all good by themselves, but put them on a roll all together, and time practically stops. » Annalisa Rodriguez – Last year, I had Mexican food withdrawals. As a freshman eating in the dorms, I missed my mom’s home cooking and the authentic Mexican restaurants I frequented during visits to my dad’s place in the city. During weekend visits home, a trip to Nuevo Leon in Chicago was a given. But needless to say, there was no such authentic cuisine in the dorm dining halls (shocker, right?). This year, apartment life freed me from dorm food, and on days where I was too lazy to cook, I explored the local restaurants more than I did last year. I discovered El Charro and dollar taco Wednesdays. El Charro even had the Mexican groceries and drinks I missed from back home. And then Maize opened. I tried it a few weeks ago, and now I find myself using any excuse to make a trip there. The fact that it’s only a couple blocks from my apartment doesn’t help either. So, my food escapades this year revolved around my goal to find authentic Mexican food, a quest I hope to add on to next year. » Vicky Raymond – I am here to talk about Sliders, that new burgers restaurant that slipped into the

old Smoothie King location, the one that advertises its “Belgian fries.” All in all, the ingredients worked together to create deliciousness. The sliders, while filling, are not loaded down with grease, and while they may be on the small side, they pack a punch. It’s easy to overestimate how many you can eat. The sliders come wrapped in silver tinfoil and look like little presents on a tray. The other half of the Sliders Burgers & Belgian Fries is, of course, the fries. They’re hand-cut, thick, and when bitten into, reveal a warm, soft potato inside surrounded by crispy goodness. As for dipping, forget about plain old ketchup because Sliders has at least half a dozen sauces to try including ranch, mayo and barbecue. I wasn’t sure what to expect with “fry sauce,” but it tasted like Thousand Island ketchup on a toasted potato bread bun. » Jasmine Lee – This year, I ventured out to eat

at only three new places: Bangkok Thai, the deliciously spicy Thai and Vietnamese restaurant that took over the vacated Zyggyz space, Red Herring, which was way overdue and now my go-to place for falafel, and Jet’s Pizza, which first started out as a routine drunk food dial and then became the pizza that all pizza should be measured against, even though I’d made plans for Casablanca Kabab House and Wingin’ Out. However, in lieu of expanding my eating-out horizons, I conquered several of my cooking fears just this past semester: pan-frying (thanks to Ina Garten’s chicken piccata, which is a great excuse to use my beloved Panko bread crumbs), a neverfail cookie recipe (oatmeal chocolate cookies, which are mind-bogglingly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside), and making a batch of homemade red wine sangria (the trick, I found,

was to add a quarter cup of sugar to the slices of orange and lemon before adding the wine). » David Jagodinski – To the artist inside everyone: never miss an opportunity to create. Each meal you prepare should be an artistic exploration. Food will be your medium, the kitchen; your studio, the table; your gallery. Take risks, overcome fear. Every recipe you see as boring: from spaghetti to the cheeseburger, a simple salad or a hotdog was once revolutionary. Each one of your grandma’s recipes, which you adore, began as a failure, was improved upon, was perfected. Just as you were once the youngest human on the planet, so too, the first piece of chocolate cake was unrivaled in its novelty. Made by someone bold enough to abandon recipes and walk into the unknown. Combine things that should never meet, make messes, be daring. No one ever stood

out by following the rules. Laugh at those who think food is only fuel. Pity them, if music is more than just noise, if art is more than just color, then who can deny a beautiful meal is more than the sum of its parts. It is an experience, an event, a way to unite, a memory. Relish each bite, stay after you’ve paid the check. Get the dessert. If you won’t in this life, when will you? » Melanie Kuta – So this past year has been a great one when it comes to food and drink in Champaign. A lot of interesting changes have happened on campus. Some new hot spots that I personally enjoy are Sliders and the new and improved Mia Za’s. Personally, I have kept up my goal of being vegetarian and eating locally. I encourage anyone in the community to check out Strawberry Fields and Common Ground for some awesome, healthy food! See ya next semester!

The first-ever y.a.m.m. festival Kids learn about media, robots and art by Jessica Bourque

he Independent Media Center will be hosting the first ever Youth Arts Music and Media (Y.A.M.M.) Festival at its downtown Urbana facility. The one day event is for kids ages 13-18 and will include a variety of sessions in which kids will learn about art, media and technology as well as social justice and volunteering. The Y.A.M.M. festival is reminiscent of the IMC’s Independent Media Arts Lab summer programs; the only difference being that the Y.A.M.M. festival only lasts one day while the IMA Lab lasts 2-3 weeks. “We are going to focus really heavily on media education,” said Tanyette Sims, one of the festival’s organizers. The sessions at the festival will, unsurprisingly, borrow heavily from those held at past IMA Labs. Robotics was one of the most popular sessions from the IMA Labs and will be one of the most focused on sessions at the Y.A.M.M. festival, said Sims. The robotics session will be put on by Makerspace, an IMC based group dedicated to blending art, science and technology. Makerspace volunteers and workers will teach children to build and program their own rudimentary robots made almost entirely of recycled goods. “Last year [at an IMA Lab], they made a cheerleading pop-can robot. They learned how to build a motor for and time it through programming so it could jump around. We also had a spider that moved around. All very basic, but very cool,” said Sims. The robot building session will run the longest, for about an hour and a half, and will start first thing in the morning. Other sessions will be running simultaneously and will include a creative arts session in which kids will learn to make art

from a variety of materials. Most of the other sessions will focus on media education. “UPTV is going to provide equipment so the kids can learn how to actually broadcast a show,” said Sims. Kids will also get firsthand experience in radio production, print production and publishing. Sims said in all media related sessions, they will briefly talk about the responsibility that comes with presenting information and how media can incorporate social justice.

“Media is a communication source that will never go away, and why not involve children in that? If we can get a head start and get them thinking about the world around them and how media affects it, then that’s great,” said Sims. Sessions will run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., however, the CUperstars are scheduled to round out the festival with a performance from 6-8 p.m. For those unfamiliar with the group, they are talented local youth singers and rappers chosen by members of Champaign Urbana

Area Youth Project. The concert will also showcase local dance crews and a DJ Battle. Based on this year’s attendance and involvement, the IMC will decide whether to change, continue or eliminate the Y.A.M.M Festival. For those looking to sign up, go to http://ucimc. org/yamm or pick up a form from the Urbana Free Library. Filling out a form beforehand is necessary because Sims said they are letting the kids decide which sessions they most want to attend and organizing accordingly. buzz

Cu’s Summer Reading list

Local literary junkies share their book recommendations by Jessica Bourque

» Book: Terrorist » Author: John Updike » Recommendation: “Though not generally regarded as one of Updike’s more remarkable works, Terrorist is still intriguing in its storyline and character development; however, I found the unique strength of this work to be the competing studies of individuality and stereotypes. Ahmad Mulloy is a half-Irish, half-Egyptian New Jersey high schooler with an absent father and a loner mentality that drives him to seek a career as a truck driver. On his own, he has been studying the Q’uran since age 11 and has developed a thorough distaste for American materialism and morality. It’s easy to see his character as undeveloped, but I think many critics missed the point: Updike provides plenty of description and insight about Ahmad while also portraying the stereotypical version of the character observed by most. In other words, every individual has an individual story. Even when Ahmad participates in an act of terrorism that’s very predictable within the story, Updike’s explorations of motivation and consequences still contain rewarding elements of surprise.” – Don Elmore, Coowner of Jane Addams Book Shop » Book: She’s Come Undone » Author: Wally Lamb » Recommendation: “I love a good coming of age book. I also love books that show a character’s flaws and that don’t tie the story up with a bow at the end. A book should keep me thinking of the characters for weeks after I am finished reading. A great example of this is Wally Lamb’s book She’s Come Undone. The heroine of this book, Dolores, is a 13-year-old girl who has had to deal with a horrible childhood. In other coming of age books, the heroine overcomes her situation and makes a new life for herself. You put the book down, feeling uplifted and impressed by the human spirit. If that’s what you want, don’t read this book. Dolores is a wise-ass who deals with her life by eating Mallomars and watching TV until she reaches young adulthood weighing in at 257 pounds. She is self-pitying and works hard to hurt those who have hurt her. She is real. She will also make you laugh out loud, and I promise you won’t forget her or those who travel the path with her. She doesn’t handle things well and becomes someone you can’t wait to get home and read about. It is ultimately a book of renewal but not in the classic sense. Wally Lamb’s characters are always very well-developed and flawed, as we all are, and if you haven’t read anything else by him, this a great way to be introduced to him.” – Susan Elmore, Co-owner of Jane Addams Book Shop » Book: The Cat’s Table » Author: Michael Ondaatje » Recommendation: “For me, summer reading requires water — living water that I can see, hear 6

and smell. The book itself needn’t involve water, but if it does, so much the better. Michael Ondaatje’s The Cat’s Table is a perfect example. This latest from the author of The English Patient tells the story of an 11-year-old boy’s voyage in 1953 from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to a new life in London. Michael is a low-fare passenger and is thus seated at the table furthest from the Captain’s — the Cat’s Table. There he meets two other boys and an engaging fringe group of eccentrics. The boys run wild, exploring, eavesdropping and observing much that they don’t fully understand. They discover a heavily-guarded prisoner in chains, learn about jazz and literature, and monitor the seduction of a young woman by an exotic acrobat. The depths of this life-changing voyage are only vaguely grasped by these boys facing the end of childhood. It is the adult Michael who begins to realize the true impact, that “over the years, confusing fragments, lost corners of stories, have a clearer meaning when seen in a new light, a different place.” A captivating tale with a perfectly realized setting, The Cat’s Table is full of reflection-worthy moments when you can look up and gaze out over the water, seeing in a new light, from a different place.” – Anne Phillips, Director of Adult Services at Urbana Free Library

» Book: He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know » Author: Jessica Valenti » Recommendation: “If you like witty, snappy writing, then you’re going to love Jessica Valenti. The feminist author, best known for her books The Purity Myth and Full Frontal Feminism, is able to make insightful yet entirely entertaining commentary about gender binaries in He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut. Each chapter, and there are 50, dissects a double standard and then proposes a way to combat it. She often illustrates these binaries through hilarious anecdotes and experiences from her own life; for example, in chapter one she describes her first time being called a slut by “a certain little girl (terror) named Eleena.” The result is a sassy, engaging yet painless read, perfect for those looking for an easy book to read while poolside. Readers shouldn’t be deceived by Valenti’s uncomplicated and very straightforward writing style; this book is more than just a ‘coffee table text’ and illuminates some very complex, very real issues facing women today. Personally speaking, He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut is the book that sparked my interest in feminism and opened my eyes to the sexism in my own life. It truly is a great introductory book for those interested in

feminism and an entertaining read for those who aren’t.” - Jessica Bourque, Arts and Entertainment Editor for buzz Magazine » Book: Kafka on the Shore » Author: Haruki Murakami » Recommedation: “Do you ever wish you could run away from home? Kafka Tamura did. Do you ever wish you could talk to cats? Mr. Nakata can. Do you ever wish you could read a post-modern page turner full of magical realism, existential philosophy and Japanese folklore? This is something you can do: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami satisfies all the previous requirements! Follow the intersecting narrative of a runaway teen and a mentally handicapped elderly man who talks to cats! Witness the maudlin magic of memory slowly eroding over itself, washing away your previous happiness! Enjoy finding out Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame is just a back alley pimp! All this and more in one of Murakami’s most accessible novels! Kafka on the Shore is a strange, rewarding read just asking for summer attention. The beach is a significant set piece to the narrative; therefore, Kafka on the Shore is most fun to read in a bikini.” - Nick Martin, Managing Editor for buzz Magazine

AN INDIE FILM STAR IS BORN

Actor Jacob Wysocki talks body language, film festivals and Huge By Joyce Famakinwa

A headshot of Jacob Wysocki

acob Wysocki is nothing like the title character he plays in his feature film debut, Terri. He prefers ’90s Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff-inspired ensembles over pajamas in the daytime. He is extroverted, and he comes from a traditionally comedic background (he is a member of the sketch comedy group Bath Boys Comedy). You can see him next in the film adaptation of Fat Kid Rules the World. I caught up with him after Ebertfest, the last stop on a long promotion tour for Terri. » buzz: You were on (ABC Family TV series) Huge, and I noticed when it got cancelled there were a lot of online outlets that said, “We need to get this show back on air.” How do you feel about having such a passionate following? Jacob Wysocki: Well, you know the thing about it is that I’m retrospectively happy the show got cancelled and didn’t get picked up, but, I mean, of course it’s so cool to having people fight for you and stuff like that. In the long run, very rarely does something positive come out of that. When the “big wigs” ... when the head people decide it’s time to stop, it’s time to stop. I went from filming my last episode of Huge; I had a Saturday and Sunday off, and I started filming Terri. So I was kind of thrown into this new world, and then I got

the news that it had gotten cancelled, and I was like, “At least I have this movie.” It was more of ... I feel like I could have been possibly trapped if I had to keep doing it because when you do a series that’s all you can do. It allowed me to continue to search for cooler films to do and stuff like that. Of course I love the support, but retrospectively I see that it happened for a reason. It was the first thing I did; it taught me a little bit; it opened these doors and then that door closed, and I walked into another hallway and there is plenty of other doors to be opened up. » buzz: You touched on a little bit on the physical aspects of your performance (in Terri). Could you talk a little more about that? JW: I do improv — that’s I guess the only training I’ve had in acting. One of the big things that I have learned is that in order to make a character, there are a few ways that you can do it — through intelligence, through stylistic choices or through body language. Body language is something that I really connected with ... and I realize if I did something with my shoulders or hands in a certain way then it could kind of transform me into this character. Your body is your vessel, so as soon as you start changing your vessel, it’s going to travel in a certain way. I just felt that it was important to have

these. I don’t know if they’re bizarre, but I guess they’re sort of these bizarre movements and stuff like that. It gave me more to work with. It’s more for me than anything because that’s just as an actor how I find what works and how I get more involved with the character. This last film I did, Fat Kid Rules the World, I play the character as a very heavy mouth breather. Every time I wanted to get into character that is what I started doing. I just started breathing really heavily out of my mouth and the rest of my body would follow and my mind would follow. It’s more a tool than anything. » buzz: What advice do you have for young aspiring comedians and young aspiring actors? JW: I think most importantly, aside from whomever is supporting you, it’s all on your shoulders — especially today. You can get a camera; you can put stuff on YouTube. That is how I got started with my sketch group. It was just like getting together with a group of people that were dedicated, passionate and working. It’s about putting in the work. You are not just going to walk in somewhere and get handed a job offer. You need a resume; you need experience. I would more than anything just encourage people to do anything, something, whatever it is. If you like to draw, draw every day. If you like to act, try to think of a character and make an internet blog. There are so many ways to do stuff nowadays that there is no excuse to not do something. The only way you are going to reach a point where you are quote unquote successful is by putting in the work. I would encourage people to not be afraid to fail, and that as long as you are working even if you are working and failing you’re learning and you’re doing what you like to do, whether it’s in front of 1500 people or just you and your mom and dad. As long as you are doing something, you will be happy to some capacity. » buzz: Eberfest is a film festival for the fans and that kind of separates it from Sundance or Tribeca. The business aspect (of a film festival) is taken out. How important is it to support these types of events? JW: I think it’s super important. Sundance is what it is. It has a name; it’s important — Tribeca, Cannes, Toronto film festival, all these big names, but all these things are about selling your movie, networking your movie. This I love because it is real people coming to see something that they know is backed up by a reputable person. Even if it is just a festival showing movies there are people that think, “I know this is a good movie, people will enjoy it, so why don’t I host a venue to watch it?” That is brilliant — we need more of that, honestly. There are so many people with great content not being shown that it’s disappointing. This stuff makes me very happy. I would do this if I wasn’t an actor. I would love to have a local film festival where I could just go and see the best movies of the year for a couple of days and just kind of get away and watch these films because that is what I enjoy. It is important for people to see what is out there and enjoy what is out there.

Workin’ at the tattoo shop The comings and goings of a day at Five Star Tattoo

Jacob Wysocki has really nice eyes

This is the first in a three-part series of articles about tattoo culture in Champaign-Urbana. Marisa Gwidt is a guest writer for buzz.

horde of Illinois high school girls packed the front lobby, chatting in high-pitched, excited tones. Their eyes got wide, and voices reached a new octave as the leader of their group hopped barefoot across a hardwood floor to display her faux-tattooed right foot. “Ooooooh, you have to get that for real, Macey!” “That’s soooo cute, Macey!” “I want one, Macey!” Macey Smart said nothing in response. The 18-year-old simply hopped back to the tattooist and gave an order: “Ink me!” It was just an average Saturday at Five Star Tattoo, 503 N. Neil St., in Champaign. According to the National Tattoo Association in Allentown, Pa., Saturday is not only the busiest day for Five Star, but also for most tattoo parlors across the nation. Because many tattoo parlors are closed Sunday, Saturday is the only weekend day guaranteed to be open for inking. But Five Star wasn’t busy all Saturday, March 3. 11:46 a.m. Tattooist Cody Pruitt walked in through the back of the shop, Thai take-out in hand, and unlocked the front door. Unlocking wasn’t an easy process. The lock had busted a couple nights before, and the glass door was held shut with an iron fence spike and a tightly wound extension chord. Pruitt spent three minutes untwisting and untangling, after which he plugged in the neon “OPEN” sign. Pruitt unfolded a TV tray and began eating his red tofu curry and vegetable spring rolls in the middle of the shop. The bearded, heavy-set 37-year-old recently went vegan after a long stint as a vegetarian. 12:10 p.m. Pruitt jumped from his seat as a middle-aged woman with spiky hair walked in. She asked for an estimate on a pair of tattooed lips for her arm. Pruitt offered $80; she walked out. “It’s totally fine if she doesn’t want to pay that much, but I’m not gonna haggle,” Pruitt said, as he put in a heavy metal CD and then returned to his TV tray. “80 bucks isn’t too much for something that’s on you for life. I mean, if you go buy a pair of shit pants at Walmart, they’ll fall apart in a few weeks. Spend more someplace else, and they’ll last you longer.” 12:21 p.m. Jason Dunavan, another tattooist, trudged in donning a black hoodie, black leather jacket, black knit cap and black sunglasses. The 39-year-old stopped in the middle of the shop and sighed. He then downed a 12-ounce bottle of Dasani in four gulps. Seconds later, Lisa Philbeck — who co-owns the new shop with her cousin James “Bigwill” Philbeck — entered the shop. She just stopped by to check the mail. “17,000 cars drive by this location every day,” she mentioned as she straightened one of many framed pieces of tattoo artwork on the white walls. “It’s nice and professional looking,” Pruitt replied, swallowing his last bite of tofu. “It looks more like a business here.” Dunavan crushed his water bottle and tossed it into a trash can. His own parlor, in which Pruitt and others used to work, went out of business

last month. Now it’s just a vacant, two-story brick house down the street. 12:35 p.m. “Hola, muchachos!” shouted Josh Wolf, the third tattooist to enter. Wolf, 35 years old, walked straight to the workstation he shares with Pruitt. He situated the black lounger, opened a new black ink bottle and attached a fresh nozzle. He had a 1 p.m. appointment. While watching Wolf methodically prepare, Dunavan pulled out a cigarette and held it unlit between his teeth. He also had someone coming in at 1 p.m., but he went out back for a smoke. 1:12 p.m. Dunavan sat at the community drawing table, sketching a figure eight infinity design for his client. The large, wooden drawing table was positioned on the left-hand side of the room, kitty-corner from Wolf and Pruitt’s right-hand station and on the same side as the absent Mr. Philbeck’s. Dunavan’s station is across from the table on the right-hand side of the shop. Waist-high walls are the only divisions between the stations. The music changed to an even heavier metal and reverberated off the teal, tin ceiling. “I like this guy,” Dunavan said about the musician, a screeching fellow in the band Three Inches of Blood. “The band name comes from the idea that you can drown in three inches of water. But water doesn’t have the same impact as blood.” “But water would be better than three inches of apple juice,” joked Randy Davis, a friend of the tattooists who had dropped by to socialize. “Or three inches of soy milk,” Pruitt quipped. 1:25 p.m. Dunavan cut out the infinity symbol and waved in his client from the lobby. The client, Emmanuel Anoma, and his wife, Lauren Anoma, glided back to Dunavan’s station, eyeing the young guy Wolf was tattooing along their way. Mr. Anoma, who lives in Chicago, prefers to get tattooed by Dunavan. The Anomas met him while attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign half a decade ago. Mr. Anoma sat on Dunavan’s lounger and flexed his right arm so Dunavan could check the sizing of the infinity symbol. It covered most of the inner right bicep. Dunavan went back to the drawing table and placed the design, which had been drawn on a piece of heat-reactant paper, between two plastic sheets. He then fed it all through a desktop 3M Thermo-Fax machine. Once heated, the infinity symbol produced a blackened copy of the original. Dunavan transferred this temporary, blackened copy to Mr. Anoma’s arm as a template. Dunavan repeated the process with the names of Mr. Anoma’s parents on the other arm. Then, reaching into his sweatshirt pocket for his pack of Marlboros, Dunavan broke for another smoke. Pruitt sat at his TV tray ordering shop supplies. As he paged through the catalogue, he jotted down “1,000 small #9 caps” (the tiny vessels for holding ink in which needles are dipped) and “2 gallon sharps container” (a heavy-duty box dropped off regularly at the hospital, where the needles are incinerated). “I can’t believe this,” Pruitt announced. “I was

working non-stop this whole week, and now it’s our busiest day, and I have no one to tattoo.” 1:56 p.m. Dunavan’s needle pierced skin. Mr. Anoma lay on his back, staring at a ceiling fan. His fists were clenched and eyes were watering. Blood dripped from his right arm. Dunavan sopped it up with a paper towel. Ms. Anoma sat alongside the lounger, clutching her Coach purse. Dunavan, hunched over the lounger with his brow furrowed, nursed the tattoo gun pedal with his right foot. “The lighting in here sucks assholes,” Dunavan noted, momentarily releasing the pedal to dip his needle into more black ink. The buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the gun resumed. 2:50 p.m. Ainslie Heilich bounded in, excited to be tattooing on a Saturday. Heilich, a guest tattooist at Five Star until she opened her own shop in Tuscola in April, asked if she could use Philbeck’s station. “Yep,” Pruitt replied. “I don’t think he’s coming in today.” Heilich is one of the few female tattoo artists the Five Star guys have ever met in Champaign. She wears her brown hair short and regularly dons men’s ties, cardigans and jeans baggy enough they’d likely drop without the help of her shiny, silver-spiked belt. Thick, plastic-rimmed glasses often hide much of her face. A stickler for cleanliness, Heilich took one look at Philbeck’s station and immediately rolled up her sleeves and reached for the antibacterial spray. The 31-year-old liberally misted the shop’s signature-style lounger, the reading lamp and the top of the Craftsman drawer chest on which she would set her ink bottles. Then she began covering everything in plastic wrap. The phone rang, and Pruitt answered. “No, this is a tattoo shop,” he said into the transmitter, as he walked away from the stereo speaker and then hung up. It was an old lady looking for some other old lady named Mary. “I can’t hear anything people are saying with this music!” 3:02 p.m. As Dunavan finished up with an ecstatic Mr. Anoma, Heilich washed her hands and returned to her borrowed space. She plugged in her tattoo gun (tattooists rarely use one another’s guns) and popped open a Coke. Her client, Bryon Brown, walked through the door with his wife, Jill Brown, a minute and a half later. Heilich called the middle-aged couple over and sanitized Mr. Brown’s right upper-arm. She spent the next four and a half hours tattooing an arrow-packed quiver onto it, breaking only once when Mr. Brown requested to use the restroom. “There is a verse in the Bible that says, ‘Blessed is the man whose quiver is full,’” Ms. Brown, of Milford, explained about her husband’s first tattoo. “A full quiver is representative of a full life and happy family. The three arrows represent our three kids.” 3:20 p.m. Wolf continued needling the arm of the young guy, who at some point had fallen asleep. Pruitt walked over to check out Heilich’s beginning strokes on Mr. Brown. “I can’t get used to your silent tattoo ma-

chine,” Pruitt told her. “I know people swear by them, but I would miss the buzz of mine. It’s so weird. I can’t even tell when you’re tattooing.” “Maybe I’m just sitting around, hanging out,” Heilich joked. “That’s what I’m doing today,” Pruitt replied. “I’ve got someone coming in at seven, though.” The phone rang again. “Tongue piercing is $30,” Pruitt said. 4:45 p.m. The high school girls flooded the lobby. The tattooists hoped all 12 of them wouldn’t request tattoos. It turned out only one of them, Macey Smart, wanted inking. “I like to take an entourage with me when I get tattooed,” Pruitt said sarcastically to Heilich. “It’s like when girls go to the bathroom,” Heilich retorted, still at work on the quiver. “They have to go in groups of at least ten.” While Pruitt and Heilich joked, Dunavan offered Smart his services. 4:55 p.m. Wolf completed the young guy’s arm designs. The guy leapt to his feet and admired them in a mirror. He handed Wolf a stack of $20 bills. Dunavan was at the drawing table, sketching a huge Jesus fish for Smart. 5:30 p.m. “Ooooh ... I’m so scared!” exclaimed Smart, right before Dunavan inked her. “Is it gonna hurt?” “Yes,” Dunavan replied. Wolf started on another client, a firefighter who asked for a fire helmet on his left shoulder. Pruitt sat waiting for his 7 p.m. appointment. 6 p.m. Smart’s tattoo was finished. “It was like a burning pain,” she described to her friends. “I was, like, crying before he even touched me, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” Smart began to persuade one of her 18-year-old friends to get a matching Jesus fish. “My mom would freak,” the friend kept repeating. “Oh, come on! Buck up!” Smart replied. “You can get it somewhere she won’t see it.” 6:22 p.m. “Owwwwch!” Smart’s friend screamed, on the verge of tears. She had given into Smart and was getting a Jesus fish on her left hip. “All done,” Dunavan consoled. Smart, her friend and their posse left. “Oh man, that was just one of those freakin’ moments I have to bite my tongue,” Heilich said about the peer pressure she just witnessed. “If she doesn’t want to get a tattoo, she doesn’t have to.” 7:15 p.m. After tattooing a few more walk-ins, Dunavan went home with nearly $1,000 in cash. Heilich and Wolf finished the quiver and fire helmet, respectively, and stuck around to watch Pruitt ink the girl with a 7 p.m. appointment. She had come in late. For the next 48 minutes, Pruitt was in his glory. He had waited all day for this. Wearing a headlamp and blue surgical gloves, he carefully needled a bouquet of flowers into the girl’s shoulder. The parlor technically closed at 8 p.m., but Pruitt was more than happy to tie closed the busted front door a bit later. buzz

Bonnaroo Music Festival by Tyler Durgan

his summer’s festival lineups feature one of the strangest mixes of nostalgic reunions and fresh talent, and Bonnaroo Music Festival’s 2012 lineup is no exception. The festival Rolling Stone praised as one of the biggest rock-n-rollchanging moments ever is set to return to Manchester, Tennessee, June 7-10, bringing with it the best in every genre and an eclectic mix of old favorites and new up-and-coming acts. Perhaps Bonnaroo is best characterized by this year’s headliners — Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phish — emphasizing the festival’s tradition showcasing the best jam bands, while also simultaneously shifting towards indie and alternative groups over the last several years. Although the festival is only in its eleventh year, Phish and Radiohead both share experience as headliners in previous incarnations of the fourday celebration of arts and music, and are guaranteed to put on incredible shows. Playing two complete sets this year, Phish’s time-tested musicianship is only paralleled by the visual spectacle of their laser/light show. You also won’t want to miss the much-anticipated performance of indie gods Radiohead, whose legend looms so large, missing out on their performance borders on blasphemous. Perhaps the most unexpected addition to the trio of headliners this year are funkalts Red Hot Chili Peppers, whose follow-up to 2006’s massively successful double-disc Stadium Arcadium, I’m With You, has generated little buzz outside of the Chili Peppers’ loyal fan base. Particularly with the departure of creative force John Frusciante, the Chili Peppers’ distinctive blend of energetic funk and soulful melody seems to lack focus. Their headlining slot at Bonnaroo, coming about a month into their North American tour, will then provide them the opportunity to prove themselves still relevant. Bonnaroo actually seems to feature many older bands trying to prove themselves still relevant this year, particularly recently-reunited surf-rockers

The Beach Boys, whose tired, unanimated performance at the Grammys inspires little confidence or interest in their dilapidated love songs or Hawaiian button-downs. Also begging for attention in this year’s lineup is ancient glammetal act Alice Cooper. The eye-lined wailer has remained inactive since his short tour with Iron Maiden in the summer of 2010; you won’t be sorry you skipped his set to see one of the smaller, fresher acts sprinkling the landscape of this year’s lineup. However, if there’s one reunion you shouldn’t miss, it’s finally-reunited pianorockers Ben Folds Five. If the simple prospect of musical mastermind Ben Folds finally being joined by drummer Darren Jesse and bassist Robert Sledge after more than a decade apart isn’t enough to excite you, check out new song “House.” The trio returns with the same energy and intensity that initially made them famous, coupled with the maturation of their melodic composition and flow. Although highlighting a wide variety of bands and genres, Bonnaroo’s specific strength is their ability to introduce festival-goers to the best upand-coming acts, and this year boasts an especially strong crop of fresh names and faces. Don’t miss Childish Gambino — the sometimes angry, sometimes comedic, always witty rap project of Community star Donald Glover — or Jackson Browne-wannabes Dawes: their impersonation is delightfully accurate, and they’re acclaimed for their live precision. Experimental lo-fi folk act TUnE-yArDs will also blow minds, and UK progressive dubstep producer SBTRKT will intrigue electro fans tired of relentless bassdrops and overindulgent breakdowns. Intimate guitar-pop quartet The Lonely Forest, quiet bedroom-folk group Blind Pilot, folk-pop singer-songwriter Fruit Bats, and quirky, perpetually happy dancerockers Grouplove, all certainly on the verge of wider mainstream attention, will be making appearances on smaller side stages this summer.

If you do make it to Bonnaroo this summer, go with an open mind: rather than the acts you’re already familiar with, the performances that will create lasting

memories will likely be the smaller, unknown acts. Uniting open-minded listeners with underground acts is one thing the festival specializes in.

and has several names on the bill for this year including Aesop Rock (note, not ASAP Rocky), whose album, Skelethon, his first since 2007’s None Shall Pass, is set to be released this July. Also on the label is P.O.S., who you will be able to catch later this summer at Lollapalooza with the rest of his group, Doomtree. Other Rhymesayers artists appearing this year are Grieves & Budo, I Self Devine and Evidence. As far as big acts go, Lupe Fiasco will represent Chicago at Soundset. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, as well as Ghostface Killah and Raekwon of none other than the Wu-Tang Clan will also be performing. Kendrick Lamar, the up and coming Compton rapper whose first studio

album will be out later this year, and Big K.R.I.T., who you might have caught live with J. Cole on their campus tour this April, are worth checking out as well. Another highly anticipated act is Queens native Action Bronson. A former chef, Bronson’s obsession with food, raunchiness, and obscure sports and entertainment references have sparked both blog buzz and critical acclaim. One rapper that you absolutely cannot miss at Soundset this year is Astronautalis. This guy’s live show now features a full band. He puts every ounce of his energy into his performance every night, and he always incorporates freestyles into his sets, too, which are based on

topics from the audience. Witness his talent, catchy songs and in-depth lyrics, and you will become an instant fan. See Soundsetfestival.com for the complete lineup of acts, including several DJs who will be doing DJ sets, all of which will take place on one day, May 27, in Canterbury Park, located in Shakopee, MN. Besides the music, Soundset will feature live graffiti exhibitions, the “Soundset Custom Car Show,” b-boy and b-girl battles, food vendors and more. Join Slug and Ant of Atmosphere and this year’s cast of wonderful hip-hop artists for Soundset 2012: a celebration of what is still good in the rap industry today.

Soundset by Maddie Rehayem The pride of Midwest hip-hop is coming back to Minneapolis on May 27. Soundset Music Festival will bring in big names from rap’s past and present, as well as some of the hottest up-andcoming underground members of the scene, for its fifth annual festival. As “indie-rap” or “hipster-hop” continues to grow as a subgenre, a bigger and more diverse crowd is brought to Soundset every year. The festival has grown with its yearly headliners, Atmosphere, as they’ve become more prominent in the mainstream while continuing to represent their indie label, Rhymesayers Entertainment. Rhymesayers, arguably the most important label in hip-hop right now, puts on this festival 10

SUMMER CAMP by Evan Lyman

piritually akin to Tennessee’s Bonnaroo, Summer Camp Music Festival offers a top-notch camping and live music experience that’s slightly more convenient for those of us in the Upper Midwest. The weekend-long fest, which has been held in Chillicothe, Illinois, since 2001, will host over 100 acts playing on seven stages from May 25-27. A favorite of jam-band, experimental and (more recently) electronic dance music fans, Summer Camp brings together major players from the wide corners of the alternative music universe. Summer Camp’s headliners include prominent progressive rock bands moe. and Umphrey’s McGee, as well as altrock heroes Jane’s Addiction. As staples of the yearly Summer Camp lineup, moe. has hosted the festival since its inception. Umphrey’s, local heroes since their formation at Notre Dame in the ‘90s, joined the Summer Camp lineup in 2003 and have performed every year since. Both groups will perform three nights. Somewhat surprising is the inclusion of Jane’s Addiction to the festival’s lineup, considering their ties to that other summer music festival held in Illinois, Lollapalooza. But the ground-breaking group, who recently added TV on the Radio’s creative force Dave Sitek to their lineup, definitely fits in among Summer Camp’s varied and eccentric cast of characters. That cast includes some of the biggest names in EDM, including Pretty Lights, whose set at Summer Camp 2010 wowed audiences and aided his rise to stardom. Zeds Dead, EOTO and ARAABMUZIK, who all brought the bass to The Canopy Club in the past few months, are on the list as well. Both EOTO and ARAABMUZIK, whose sets rely almost entirely on improvisation, put on can’t

his recent time between his somewhat hilarious “beef” with Drake and starring on AMC’s Hell On Wheels, is scheduled to perform at the festival. But aside from those endeavors, Common did release his latest LP, The Dreamer/The Believer, in late 2011 to critical acclaim. He also has a history of experimentation — with 2002’s Electric Circus drawing inspiration from Sgt. Pepper — and over a decade’s worth of underground credibility. He also has a long-standing relationship with The Roots, who performed at Summer Camp in 2008. Then there’s the Illinois connection; it’s no secret that Common was raised in Chicago and is considered a local legend. In summation, the Summer Camp lineup is daunting in both range and number of acts. Alongside the nationally recognized (but still experimental) groups such as Primus, G. Love and Special Sauce, Gov’t Mule and Shpongle, concert-goers can enjoy a bevy of Illinois-based artists. Fans of Canopy’s Dubstep Masquerade events will recognize DJ Solo, Miss Amphetamine, White Rabbit and Milk ‘N’ Cookies. Those who attended Unionfest will once again get to experience Elsinore and Kids These Days.

Bully Friday, May 11

The Art Theater

$7 for students and $9 for adults

The Art Theater will be screening the film Bully all weekend starting on May 11. This film has received so much attention for the ratings controversy. It finally has a PG-13 rating so more people will be able to see the film, including the younger audience that might benefit the most from it. This documentary focuses on a handful of children from Mississippi, Georgia and Oklahoma. We see the bullying that takes place in the classroom and that adults are sometimes a part of the problem. —Joyce Famakinwa, Movies & TV Editor

The Sounds of Summer Love of music infiltrating Market at the Square

“Happy 100th, Universal!”

alking down the cobblestone sidewalk, the sounds of finger-snapping, shoetapping jazz music mingled with the rhythms of acoustic guitar float down the street. Music made its reappearance at Market at the Square, Urbana’s farmers market, last Saturday. The market, teeming with vendors selling everything from wood carvings and knitted hats to waffle trucks and fresh veggies, came back to Urbana for the start of another summer season. A modern-day music man graces the streets of the market with his countless instruments. With a red monkey sweatband, a beige fishing cap, a gray beard, and kind brown eyes, he goes by his stage name: Jay Michael. This Urbana resident started playing almost every Saturday in 2001. Eleven years later, he plays three drum-like instruments, a bugle, a cowbell, a dog bowl that sounds as good as a cow bell and a Fisher Price turtle tambourine that he impulsively brought with him. “(The turtle tambourine) was absolutely wonderful. I thought I would bring it and see if I could use it — perfect sound,” Michael said. “Thank you, Fisher Price.” When he was a kid, he wanted to be a baseball player, and his mother wanted him to learn how to tap dance. The piano player for his tap class told Michael’s mother that he had natural rhythm, which prompted his mother to take him to see a band director at an early age. Baseball and tap dancing were instantly forgotten for a chance to make some music. When Michael was young, it only took a scholarship for a music camp from his junior high band director to make him fall in love with music. “I love to tell this story,” Michael said. “Coming to the music camp really got me into it. It was identifying this is what I do, and this is what I do best.” After moving to Urbana, he saw his high school friends, the parents of his high school friends, and even an old girlfriend in the crowd at Market at the Square. “It’s like a life center for me here, the market. This is the social life,” Michael said. “It’s a way to be part of the community.” While Michael is a testament to a lifelong love for music, young musicians are attempting to cultivate

that same love affair at the farmers market. Tyler Kimble, junior at Central High School, and Cubby Knox, senior at Central High School, started playing guitar at the market last year. “We just kept with it,” Kimble said. Both of these musicians started playing in guitar class at school, then decided to play at the market and have started their own band, The Mourning After, since then. “I’m Sorry, October” is one of their favorite songs to play, especially because crowds of people love the song as well. The song starts off soft with the lyrics “Is there anything for me?” and “All the green has turned to brown,” beginning the song in a sullen, melodic voice. While the music picks up with heavy strumming, the tune softens again with Kimble and Knox gently plucking the strings for a quiet, meaningful end. Kimble said the song means a lot to him because of his specific personal experiences associated with it. He added that the genre of music they play revolves around indie, acoustic and rock. Kimble and Knox are not the only high school students who played at Market at the Square’s grand opening. Patrick Shea, freshman at Urbana High School, played ukulele in the Lincoln Square parking lot, where he writes songs as well. He said he played at the market last summer. With guitar, bass and ukulele under his belt, Shea said he usually just plays the ukulele at the farmers market because it is easier to bring along. “My dad is really musical, and he showed me a lot of that,” Shea said. “I try to play music depending on what type of people are passing by.” Shea likes folk music and plays Bob Dylan for the older groups passing by him. He said that this year the farmers market’s organizers chose spots for different musicians or vendors, which he did not like as much because of the close proximity to other bands. Having a main stage for people to use every week would be a “cool” idea, Shea added. The jazz band playing around the corner from Shea, organized by Jordan Kaye, played for 45 minutes for the market’s grand opening. They have been playing the grand opening of the farmers market for the past three years “because it’s such a special occasion. We want to celebrate vegetables,” Kaye said. Kaye is not only the leader of the musical group, but he was also playing the melodica, which is a cross between a harmonica and a keyboard. Kaye added that he only got the instrument a month ago and is still learning how to play it. “It was really fun,” he said. “In this band, [music] reminds me of the Roaring Twenties.” Playing guitar, bass and percussion as well, Kaye said that it has taken all his life to learn how to play these instruments and that he is still working on them. “[The market] gets better every year. I just wish it would keep on going for many, many more years,” Kaye said. “I hope it will outlive me.”
