CU CALENDER

tatyana safronova EDITOR’S NOTE The most convincing call for abstinence that I encountered in all of my education didn’t even happen i n a sex ua l education class. It was in freshman-year biology. We, the students, gasped, clenched our teeth and shuddered one morning as we watched two videos: one of a view from inside a man’s penis as he ejaculated and one of a birth. The ejaculation managed to gross out many of the guys and the birth looked so painful and so traumatic that a vocal few vowed to never have sex. This week’s Doin’ It Well (Stinger, 15) discusses the messages we are fed as kids in school and how students can become more instrumental in their own sexual education. The ineffective fear tactics used in public school to dissuade me from sex, drugs and alcohol remain a lighthearted memory. I remember the beer goggles I had to wear while shooting hoops that were supposed to show me what it was like to be drunk. They had no effect on me because I had never been really interested in drinking, and getting drunk one night was its own deterrent. All I retained from those lessons were anti-smoking slogans, gruesome photos of STDs and, of course, the video of the birth. Sadly, ver y little advice was practical or applicable, and so it went by the wayside. Only once did an actual nurse come to speak to us students about checking ourselves for cancer. The rest of the “education� was based on scary pictures

B ETWEEN | CLASSIFIEDS | THE STINGER | CU CALENDAR

and tales of the doomed fates of the transgressors and, often times, the poor victims close to them. You’ve all seen the films about drug users robbing their families for those extra few bucks to buy more blow. That can be you, the movies say. Practically though, would a video administered in the context of a classroom ever be powerful enough to dissuade you from drugs and sex when stronger factors like boredom, hormones and peer pressure exist? New anti-pot ads recently came out, and they take a 180-degree turn away from those commercials that scare you into believing that if you smoke weed you’ll kill someone. The ads are simple line drawings with irresistibly cute music and even cuter scenarios. In one, a guy and a girl are sitting on a bench and the guy lights up. The girl says, “Not again.� Soon, an alien spaceship lands nearby and the little ET guy approaches the couple. When the pot smoker offers ET a joint, the alien refuses, wins the girl and flies away with her on his space ship. Aw! That still seems like a shot in the dark; who’s ever stopped doing drugs because of a cute commercial? But at least this genre of moviemaking is getting more versatile and creative. Perhaps soon, you’ll be going to the movies for your dose of abstinence messages and DARE. Oh, wait. That seems pretty certain now that the Motion Picture Association of America is considering giving automatic “R� ratings to movies featuring smoking.

MY GRANDMA IS COMING INTO THE CITY SATURDAY TO BLEACH MY CAT.

michael coulter FIRST THINGS FIRST

A POST-FATHER’S DAY TRIBUTE

For those who don’t need a holiday to thank Dad “Don’t call what you’re wearing an outfit, don’t ever say your car is broke, don’t worry about losing your accent, a southern man tells better jokes.” Excerpt from “Outfit” by Drive-By Truckers I can barely remember, but when I was a little kid my dad would take me for a drive every so often on Saturday mornings. It probably wasn’t what some people these days would consider an appropriate trip, but screw a whole lot of some people these days. There was a tiny little country bar a few miles from our house and the two of us would get in the pick up and drive down there when we got up in the morning. We’d pull up a stool at the bar and have a couple of drinks, a couple of Mountain Dews for me, a couple of Busch beers for Dad. I was only about five or six, but even then, there was nothing like having a couple of beers with him. Generally, I’d get to pull up a chair so I could stand on it to see the top of the pinball machine and I’d play a few games while Dad talked to a few guys. After that, we’d get some lunchmeat and a loaf of bread and drive around in the country. I’d still be trying to finish up my soda pop and dad had a can of beer between his legs. We’d listen to old country music from an AM radio station, eat a few sandwiches, and then eventually head back home. I’m fairly sure the speedometer on the truck never got past 30 mph. Then, and even now, it seems like about the best thing in the world. When I realized it was Father’s Day last weekend, the above thought came to my mind for a moment. I looked around a few stores but apparently Hallmark doesn’t make a card for memories such as that. Screw a whole lot of Hallmark, too. I never really felt like I needed a day or a card to tell my dad how I feel about him anyway. He knows. He and Mom came up last Saturday to visit and, I suppose, to celebrate Father’s Day, though they would have come without the holiday. Dad and I ran a few errands, and eventually, as the Coulter men are prone to do, we ended up at a bar. It was about 11 a.m., but the time of day didn’t matter much to either one of us, so we stopped by Huber’s to have a couple of

beers. The bar was pretty empty at that time of day and my friend, Mike, was bartending, so we just sat around and told stories and talked about baseball. Dad and I both had smiles on our faces the whole time. It wasn’t an unfamiliar feeling for me to be sitting at a bar, but I’m seldom, if ever, quite as content as I was that day. If you would have asked me when I was 16 or 25, I would not have picked my dad to be my favorite guy to have a beer with, but these days, I can’t think of another person who would bring me quite so much joy. It’s strange. For a period of time, my dad and I seemed about as different as could be, but as I get older, we get more and more alike. I’d like to think that both of us got smarter somewhere along the line, but I’m not sure that’s the case. I think we just came to understand each other a little better. It’s probably more like that old saying: I can’t believe how much smarter my dad gets as I get older. It’s funny; the amount of time I spend having a couple of beers and talking about things with friends. We talk about families, baseball, work, whatever comes to mind and it is sort of relaxing. I talk about the same things with my dad, but when it’s just us two, it seems a little more special. I’m not sure if he raised me to be so much like him or if I just ended up that way, but I’m happy with the outcome. I put the quote at the beginning because that song is mostly made up of advice that a father is giving his son and it always makes me think of my dad. I won’t list off the advice like the song does because I’m not sure I can recall all that much advice my dad gave me. He often made some suggestions but mostly, he and mom just raised me to recognize good decisions. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I make them on a regular basis, but at least I always know them when I see them. So, instead of a Father’s Day card that someone else wrote, my dad got a George Jones CD, a couple of beers, and some conversation instead. We a lway s sor t of celebr ate Ha l l m a rk holidays like that, but honestly, it wasn’t all that different from any other day. It wouldn’t have felt right getting him some sort of “regular” gift. It’s his day and I’m sure the beer and the conversation were all he really wanted to begin with. It wasn’t even my day, but that’s all I really wanted, too.

around town opportunity to visit the farm to make a connection with the place their food is grown and see the types of growing practices they use. Many PCSA members say the relationship has gone deeper, though. Ed Kieser, Chief Meteorologist for WILL radio in Urbana, was a PCSA member for several years. He has visited the farm and says his ongoing relationship with the Moores — and their meats and produce — get him excited about talking with the family at the farmer’s market every week. He said the opening day of farmer’s market is “like the opening day of the baseball season” in his household. For Kieser, the Moores are “sort of like family.”

THE MOORE’S FARMING PHILOSOPHY

BEYOND ORGANIC Community Supported Agriculture LAURA SULLIVAN • STAFF WRITER

Bill Stoerger of the Moore Family Farm hands Glenna Rogers of Champaign a bag filled with basil Saturday morning at the Urbana Farmer’s Market. “Their vegetables look the freshest and the healthiest. I’m going to plant the basil on my porch to grow all summer,” Rogers said. PHOTO BY AMELIA MOORE

T

he Iroquois River rose dangerously in January of 2005. And it kept rising. Water covered most of the Moore Family Farm’s 100 acres and then froze into one solid sheet of ice, effectively muting the vibrancy of the Watseka land that had been in the family for nearly 100 years. The situation might have been amendable if it wasn’t followed by an ice storm and a drought. The “biodiversified, regenerative, sustainable farm,” as owner Jim Moore puts it, was at a loss. They had no hay, no grass and no pasture for the free-range, grass-fed animals. The family approached Prairieland Community Supported Agriculture (PCSA), whose members put up money at the beginning of each season for weekly shares of the farm’s produce, and told them they would have to liquidate. That’s when the magic began. Anna Barnes, an organizer of PCSA, gave up work on Fridays to prepare for fundraising bake sales at the Urbana Farmers Market. Phone calls, e-mails and flyers gave way to an outpouring of generosity. A check arrived from Maine from a CSA member’s father. “He said, ‘You keep my grandchildren healthy,’” Diann

IN

Moore, wife of Jim Moore, recalled. Another check arrived, this time from England, from a member’s sister. Yet another member offered hay at a discount from her family’s stash, which was in high demand during the drought. “It’s humbling,” Diann said. “Some of your customers say, ‘We have to have you. We were George Bailey from It’s a Wonderful Life.” Together the efforts raised $8,000, according to Barnes. The farm was back on its feet but still not back to its original state. The latest study of Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs), conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in July 2005, found 1,144 CSAs in the United States, with 20 listed in Illinois. These CSAs could sustain 270,000 households nationwide, according to the study. Barnes said there are two or three CSAs in the Champaign-Urbana area, PCSA being the first. Community Supported Agriculture can be defined in terms of shared risk and shared joy. Members of a community support a farm financially by putting in a specified amount at the beginning of the season for “shares” of the farm’s produce, which is either delivered or picked up directly from the farm. Often farmers also offer their community support the B ETWEEN | CLASSIFIEDS | THE STINGER | CU CALENDAR

The Moore’s philosophy of farming goes back to an earlier time “when the life cycle was the life cycle,” Diann said. They try to diversify their farm, naturally raising many different breeds of animals and types of plants that all strengthen and contribute to the farm’s larger “macro” system. The grass-fed hogs use their snouts to till the ground where next year’s vegetable crop will be planted. “A pig’s snout is a tiller,” Diann contests. “The rams and billy goats are lawn mowers.” Cutting the grass is not a phrase on the family’s long chore list. The animals graze on a vibrant green “salad bar” of alfalfa, four to seven different types of lettuce, hay and clover. The coop where the laying hens peck around is moved to a different location around the farm on a weekly basis, a few-hour process which requires taking apart and reassembling open-air laying houses and electrical mesh fences for the maximum possible natural fertilization of the earth. The most unusual thing about the farm is found in the air: silence. “These are happy animals,” Diann said. There is also something that is not in the air. When driving to the Moore’s farm, which is about an hour and 15 minutes north of CU, there is a pungent stinging in the nostrils around Buckley, a small town south of Watseka. Diann said that this smell comes from a confinement chicken facility. Despite 1,500 goose-skinned baby chicks arriving by Fed Ex just a few weeks before, there wasn’t much of an odor to mention at the Moore’s. Everything on the farm is raised without any unnatural herbicides or pesticides, an intentional departure from the farming practices the Moores both learned in school at Parkland College and from those farming around them. All they knew was using pesticides, but the Moores said this kind of farming would not work on the small acreage that they had. They were failing financially and reached a point where they were living in a dirt-floor house, all their loans pulled from the bank. It was then that they decided it was “all or nothing.” They decided to diversify. Diann said that her husband already knew many natural growing practices from his grandmother, who lived on the farm for many years. Jim lived down the street, “but was always over at Grandma’s.”

THE RESULTS: AN “ARTISANAL” PRODUCT A staple of the American food system is consistency. Most people expect that when they pick up a head of lettuce at the supermarket one week and pick another up the next week the two will taste the same. McDonald’s has built its empire on consistency of product: A Big Mac in San Francisco tastes the same as a Big Mac in rural Texas. But PCSA members say this leaves out rich variations in the food system. These variations are akin to the difference in different years and growing regions for wine. “Artisanal” products are produced on a small scale, and each batch tastes a little different. “Our fall turkeys taste better than anywhere else. It is more artisanal, like wine and cheese,” Diann said. Adding that slight variations in grass or alfalfa create a different taste, a unique product. sounds from the scene

The monotony of the same old sights, sounds and smells of Champaign-Urbana is lowering your spirits. You can hear the city noises calling in the back of your mind; you dream of being surrounded by shiny, glass sky scrappers, and sometimes, early in the morning, you can almost smell Chicago-style hot dogs wafting in through your bedroom window. You know these hallucinations can only be cured by a serious dose of the city. The only problem: you think you can’t afford a trip to Chicago because of pricey hotels and expensive cab rides. You’re wrong. The Amtrak provides an easy and economical solution to your Chicago cravings. Though the early morning train — leaving Champaign at 6:10 a.m. and arriving in Chicago at 9 a.m. — and the late train — leaving Chicago at 8 p.m. and arriving back in Champaign at 10:34 p.m.

— can be pricey, combined with a cheap rate found under the “Hot Deals” part of the Amtrak Web site, you can get to Chicago and back for under $45. These cheap weekly rates (usually $9.90 one way) must be booked ahead of time (usually 10 days) and leave only at certain times — departing from Champaign at 10:14 a.m. and arriving in Chicago at 1 p.m. or leaving Chicago at 4:05 p.m. and arriving in Champaign at 6:15 p.m. This combination leaves you with seven hours to spend doing whatever you love: going to museums, sightseeing or shopping. Plus, you won’t have to spend money on a hotel. But if you do want to invest in staying overnight in the Windy City, check out the local hostels on www.hostelworld.com for beds as cheap as $23.50 a night. Once you arrive at Union Station there will be all sorts of transportation available to you.

Up to 25% off on slot machines! Hey, Lil Linc’n!

Where are you headed off to?

How can you afford to go back and forth so often with These Gas Prices?

But didn’t you just come back?

The three most inexpensive and easiest modes are the free trolleys, the Chicago Water Taxi and the “L”. The free trolleys pick up on Adams Street, right by Union Station, and give you the option of three colorfully and geometrically-labeled routes. The Green Triangle takes tourists to the Art Institute and The Museum Campus: the Adler Planetarium, the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. The Yellow Star trolley goes to Macy’s on State Street, Navy Pier and Millennium Park. And the last trolley route, the Red Circle, takes shoppers down Michigan Avenue. The trolleys run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the beginning of September, with extended hours until 7 p.m. during the Taste of Chicago — June 29 through July 8. The Chicago Water Taxi is the least convoluted way to Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. To get to the taxi, exit Union Station along the river and go north about three blocks. Once you cross Madison Street the stairs to the taxi will be right in front of you. Not only do you have a

direct route to shopping (only one stop is made at LaSalle Street), you also get to see the city from a unique vantage point, and with a fair of only $4 for the entire a day, it’s well worth it. The water taxis run from 7 a.m. to about 7 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 6:20 p.m. on Saturday, and 10:35 a.m. to 5 p.m on Sunday and holidays (this is tentative). Finally, there is the “L” (the train system given its name because it is “elevated” off the ground). The “L” can take you practically anywhere in Chicago for about $4 for a roundtrip. If you want to catch an afternoon baseball game, take the Red line north to Addison for a Cubs game or South to 35th for a Sox Game. You can also gain access to all the trendy North Chicago neighborhoods like Wicker Park, Lake View, Lincoln Park and Wrigleyville by catching the northbound Red, Blue or Brown lines. So let your daily routine in CU bore you no more, and take a trip to Chicago.

SENSES FAIL:

Saving the Best for Last ALYSSA VALE • STAFF WRITER

June 22 at the Canopy Club, 708 S. Goodwin, will feature the tail end of an intensely long and vigorous tour for Senses Fail. “Yeah, we’ve been on tour for like almost a year,” said lead singer Buddy Nielsen, whose voice is coarse and is per iod ica l ly inter r upted by a f it of short yawns. Still Searching, the band’s second fulllength album, debuted eight months ago and has given the band a lot of hard work associated with its promotion. June 29 will mark their last concert on this headlining tour and the beginning of a much-needed break. “We basically have the whole summer off,” Nielsen said with newfound energy, “We’re gonna do a re-release, so what we’re doing is writing a couple new songs for the record. It’s gonna have a DVD, new songs, cover songs ...” When asked about the direction he hopes his new songs to follow, his answer is certain and straightforward. “I wou ldn’t rea l ly k now how to answer that because we haven’t started writing songs yet. That’s kinda one of those things you have to figure out when you start the process,” Nielsen said.

As for the current status of their songs, Senses Fail’s latest video of their single “Can’t Be Saved” has received some interesting and well deserved attention. “It was just a little way to try and do something different,” Nielsen said in laughter. Well, different is exactly what they got. The conflicting reviews caused Senses Fail bassist Mike Glita, to make a comment of it on their Web site where he said, “I know there have been a lot of mixed reactions from what I’ve seen, but I can assure all of you that the video really does make sense to the song if you really think about it and pay attention.” The very abstract video can be seen on the band’s MySpace page and is worth taking a close look at. As a whole, their attention, press, and fan base has grown tremendously in the last year. It’s hard to believe Nielsen is now 23 when not long ago he was just a senior in high school playing in a band. “I realized that everything else was gonna suck, and I was like ‘I gotta do this. I love this. There’s nothing else I wanna do and I totally don’t want to go to college,’” he said. Well maybe Nielsen is living his dream, but he still has one more prospect in mind. “Do you know what my ultimate life goal would be? To own the New York Yankees.” The concert this Friday will feature special guest and hardcore sensation From Autumn To Ashes as well as Inept. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $16.50 in advance. Come on out and pay tribute to a band making one last stop in CU before their well-deserved break.

I was at Press Orientation at Bonnaroo’s media tent when I got a call from the Matt Maust, bassist and general ambassador of cool for Long Beach band Cold War Kids. Originally scheduled for a phone interview, I asked Matt if he wanted to meet. Soon enough, we were in his dressing room sharing beers and tales from the road. Having just arrived at the 700-acre farm turned fest, Matt was still surveying the often-called utopian that is Bonnaroo. Seeing his dry mop, his dusty black shoes and sweat-stained v-neck— default uniform for the Cold War Kids — I informed him of the free Garnier shampooing station, one of my most curious finds on the grounds. Like myself, the Cold War Kids had trouble entering the festival — rental car troubles and traffic delayed their arrival until a couple hours before they were slated to perform. Maust, drinking his pale ale while sprawled out on the couch, appeared calm and went on to expound on the nature of life on the road. “When I perform, I like to yell the lyrics,” Maust said. “But you also have to be an actor because you are playing

the same songs every night. Like “Hang Me Up To Dry” ... I don’t really want to play it tonight, but when you are on the stage, you never know.” After a few minutes, the band went on to play about an hour set, slightly longer than they are used to. They played two brand new songs, freshly written from sound checks while on tour in Europe. According to Maust, in order to be able to write while sound checking, “you have to train yourself to think that you’re not sound checking, to just ignore everything.” During the opening bass cranks of “Hang Me Out To Dry”, one of the Kids’s last tunes, Maust looked down at me (he let me linger backstage for the show) and began an obligatory strut around the stage, poignantly and precisely providing the crowd with explosive, blues-tinged rock. When the lead singer cried the refrain into the microphone, Matt helped engage the tent by howling the words to the sky, “too, too, too many times.” For the future, the Cold War Kids will be opening up for the upcoming leg of The White Stripes American Tour. Psh, as if they didn’t have enough fun at Bonnaroo. TOP PHOTO COURTSEY OF SPINNER.COM BOTTOM PHOTO COURTSEY OF POPWATCH.EW.COM

WELCOME TO DARK MEAT

You Are Free To Dance About The Area KEN BEAVER • CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Lights, costumes, body paint ... perhaps a bassist wearing a dress paired with a Viking helmet. Sounds like a recipe for a fun show, or rather, a Dark Meat show. Dark Meat, a 13-23 piece psychedelic rock band with dancers and horns and two drummers, will be visiting Mike ’n Molly’s on Wednesday, June 27. In an interview with TinyMixTapes. com, bassist Ben Clack said that Dark Meat tastes like “clouds and butterfly wing filaments.” In other words, a band that tastes exotic, a band that tastes differently than your average Joe band. Clack also said that Dark Meat is a group of close friends that simply love to make music together — sounds delicious. In an interview with the buzz, Clack said he met singer/lead guitarist Jim McHugh roughly 10 years ago in North Carolina when the idea of Dark Meat began to flutter around in their heads. The creation of Dark Meat truly flew while under the influence of an Olivia Tremor

Control concert deep in the Georgian woods. “Everybody was on acid and mushrooms and stuff. We just saw how good psychedelic music could be and how we could do that, too,” Clack said. “We started out with four [members], and after like the third or fourth practice, we just started inviting more people over to play and started flushing out different sounds, and the band just grew.” Clack is the catalyst for much of the visual presentation now associated with Dark Meat. He cites Robert Rauschenberg’s performance art and past involvement with “anarchy theatre people” as primary influences. “I was just really into free expression that takes place in public spaces and not being afraid to really stretch out your imagination — not hold that in. It was just about having fun and getting out of your head.” The music itself is difficult to classify. I guess that’s what you’d expect from a band influenced

by Black Flag’s Greg Ginn, Sandy Denny, and free-jazz composer Albert Ayler. “We want to take people away from their dayto-day lives and really get them to start thinking about what’s inside, whether it be good or bad,” said Clack. Right now, Clack is listening to Drakkar Sauna, who he descr ibes as if they would be backing up Shel Silverstein or as “heavy, tripped-out, free form noise stuff ” from Japan. The song writing of Dark Meat is done largely by McHugh; but, as you’d expect from a band of this size, the creative process is largely communal and reflects the personalities of each member of the group. “Everybody is just kind of feeding off of each other. That’s sort of what our music is about. It’s just about our friendships.” The cover of Dark Meat’s first album, Universal Indians, channels a ’60s commune, similar to the way the band functions as a unit. Even money

is shared and put into the band — no one goes without anything they might need. They also happen to travel in a 15-person van. “It really works. You’ve got to get along, so everybody kind of pushes out the little ego things, kind of loses their natural form of self and just realizes they’re part of this thing.” Bringing back the psychedelic aura of the Olivia Tremor Control show, Dark Meat enjoys a good audience that likes to dance — freely. “We ju st t r y to g o for a f u l l sen sor y experience, to turn it into this really interactive thing. We’re kind of just barely steering the ship. If you want to cover yourself in body paint and look crazy, do it.” Summer nights are made for this kind of stuff. So strip down, paint on, and head over to Mike ’n Molly’s, 105 N. Market St., on June 27, say around 8 p.m. — I’ll be hiding in the bushes flashing pictures. Hah, just kidding.

CONCERT REVIEW:

The Show Must Go On Tour ALYSSA VALE • STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, June 12, Canopy Club, 708 S. Goodwin, hosted the kick-off of “The Show Must Go On Tour.” The lineup featured Chicago band Powerspace, who opened the concert, followed by Brighten, From First To Last, and ended with the post-hardcore and mainstream friendly Hawthorne Heights. The main event, Hawthorne Heights, may be what brought the fans, but the introduction is what got the crowd excited. My experience at concerts may not be worldly but is cultured enough to say that opening bands are not what most people come for. For the stragglers who decided to attend this concert later than 7:30 p.m., you missed the show. Powerspace began their short set in a mad frenzy of excitement, and the energy of the small and timely crowd was only a

EDITOR’S PICKS:

mirror of their performance. Powerspace is a lesser known band that has only just recently signed with indie record label Fueled By Ramen. Their first full length album, The Kicks Of Passion, is set to hit stores July 31. But for now, their claim to fame is still “Right On, Right Now,” a song featured on their last EP and likely to return on their new album. This song gained the crowd’s respect, but that’s not to say by any means that it was their only good song. I asked the sometimes complicated question of how the band would describe their sound. What I got was a mixed and comic answer from a couple of happy-go-lucky boys just barely out of their teens. Lead singer Alec Cyganowski began by saying, “Um, hmm ... intergalactic ...”

“Dino-core!” guitarist Tom Schleiter finished, an amused grin on his face. While I’m not sure what they meant by their description, I can refer you to their MySpace page (myspace.com/powerspace), which portrays a rock/pop and new wave band. For now, Powerspace is unsure of what tour they’ll be on next or what their future holds, but they are sure of one thing — where they want their first album to take them. “Straight to the top!” said Cyganowski, who is hopeful. I am, too. Let’s face it. They won me over. Powerspace finished their stretch, and, as if the element of surprise wasn’t existent enough, Cyganowski ended their last song with a backflip — an interesting way to conclude their set at a concert that really was completely backwards.

roots, yet still reminiscent of punk-rock at times — it sounds crazy, but it works. Manu Chao, as heard this past weekend in Tennessee, is highly influenced by his Spanish and French roots, and can be considered anything from funky reggae to pop rock (with some sophistication, I assure you). Personally, I would say some of his stuff is just so-so, but when he does get it, he gets it good. Apparently, a new album is to be expected from Manu Chao this fall, and you can hear (for

free!) his new hit “Welcome to Paradize” on his Web site. The song is colorful, to say the least. Finally, I feel that no World Music selection would be complete without the Granddaddy of them all, Ravi Shankar. The Essential of Ravi Shankar is utterly complete in his sparkling, singing citar, while modestly appealing. I fall asleep to it on most nights, and on these nights, I not only sleep well, but I dream well, too. It must be magic.

WORLD MUSIC

CAITLIN CREMER • MUSIC EDITOR

This week in the world of music, I would like to draw your attention to, well, World Music. First and foremost, my favorite at the moment is a group hot from Brazil, by the name of Brazilian Girls. Their latest album, Talk to la Bomb, is filled with funky beats and off the wall lyrics. Their music ranges in classification from some reggae, some pop, but mostly electronic. Love it. The following artist I particularly enjoy, The High Llamas

sounds from the scene

(made in England), have some retro ’60/70s rock influence, yet still make everything they do seem fresh by their electronic take on what once was Steely Dan’s Aja. Also, their music is light-hearted and by the end of a song, I’m just waiting for one of them to say cheerio, unfortunately, it never happens ... Next on the list is Tarika. Their most recent album, Beasts, Ghosts, and Dancing with History, is FILLED with energy. Their buoyant, yet tightknit melodies are derivative of their Madagascan

STREETFEST!

The Taste of Chain Restaurants of CU Returns! Watery Domestic, the band fronted by married couple Seth and Rachel Hubbard, has a new, self-titled EP available at live shows and through the band’s MySpace page (myspace.com/ waterydomestic). The band has gained quite a bit of popularity in the last year, being chosen to play the Great Cover Up (and covering local band Headlights), along with playing several great shows. They’ll anchor tonight’s show at the Canopy Club, 708 S. Goodwin, playing with Coco Coca, The International Theatre of War, Imaginary Numbers, Adam K, and Bloomington band Ohtis. The show starts at 8 p.m. and is only $5, which math wizards everywhere will tell you is less than one dollar per band. I checked — they’re right. Also in Urbana, the Iron Post, 120 S. Race St., will run with a 9:30 p.m. start time for an Ear Doctor show. No word on the cover, but it won’t be too much, and it will be worth it to catch a very good experimental jazz outfit. Across the stripe, Cowboy Monkey, 6 E. Taylor St., will hold a funkier aff air with Chicago Afrobeat Project (picking up new fans with every show) and local band Mhondoro (specializing in the music of Zimbabwe) at 9 p.m. with music going all night — $6 gets you in. Aroma CafÊ’s weekly music series, 118 N. Neil St., will continue on tonight as well with sets from Megan Johns and David Newbould. 8 p.m., no charge. CU native son Cameron McGill will make another welcome stop in Champaign on Friday — this time playing with his full band (Cameron McGill & What Army) and the string quartet the Quartet Offensive. This should make for a very interesting set from the songwriter who is sitting on two new records. Expect to hear several new songs along with some older material. Openers include local band Darling Disarm, fronted by Kayla Brown (and feature the amazing lead guitar chops of this writer);

Chicago-based w.w.lowman; and Columbia, Mo. band Caulfield and the Magic. Show time is 9:30 p.m. with a $7 cover charge. Elsewhere on Friday, you’ve got a free show from John McMahon at the Embassy Tavern in Urbana, 114 S. Race St. (7 p.m.), and Corn Desert Ramblers at the Iron Post for $5 (9:30 p.m.), or you can join angry teenagers from around the state at the Canopy Club for the shit-fest that is Senses Fail with From Autumn To Ashes and Inept. Speaking of shit-fests, this weekend brings us another Taste of Champaign-Urbana. Let us all stagger through the heat to see which chain restaurants have paid a ridiculous amount to serve up bad food to a crowd of people who have apparently never seen a Domino’s. Don’t get me wrong — I love the idea of the Taste — it’s just the execution that has been increasingly horrendous in the last few years. It’s great that they showcase a good amount of local music in various tents, giving many acts some deserved exposure, but that doesn’t excuse what has happened to the food selection. Apparently, the price and the hassle involved in having a tent has just become too much for most local eateries, which seems to be against the whole point. Last year, the number of chain places outnumbered the actual local shops. Luckily, there are still a few bright spots that keep hanging in there — as of last year, Curtis Orchard still had a huge space where you could load up on apple donuts; One World Pizza showed that specialty pizza doesn’t stop at BBQ chicken; and Dippin’ Dots, the “Ice Cream of the Future�, is still available in the here and now. Drop by West Side Park, 400 W. University Ave., this weekend and see for yourself if the people in charge actually got their shit together this year. While you’re there, you can catch many local bands live like elsinore (Saturday, 3 p.m.) and Dennis Stroughmatt (Saturday, 4:30 p.m.) for free. Following their Taste of CU performance, elsinore will move over to the Cowboy Monkey for a show with openers Death Ships and Chicago-based band The Johns. Start time is 10 p.m. with a $5 cover.

Mhondoro makes another appearance this week with a 6 p.m. performance at the Iron Post on Saturday. They will be followed by a late show with Big Grove Zydeco. Saturday’s big news is the reunion show for Imaginary Posse at Mike ’n Molly’s, 105 N. Market St. The show will be in the beer garden, weather permitting, and the Chemicals will open. Go time is 8 p.m. Champaign-to-Rochester, N.Y. transplant Keith Harden will return to town again this weekend, and as usual he’ll be playing a few shows. Catch him at the Iron Post on Sunday evening (8 p.m.) on the patio. The Champaign location of Biaggi’s Restaurant, 2235 S. Neil St., has taken the reins from Silvercreek as a fi ne dining establishment that offers live music in an intimate setting. They’ve begun a biweekly series (on Tuesdays) featuring local musicians playing on the patio. Ryan Groff played the fi rst night to a full space; and this week, Kayla Brown and little old me will be playing from 6-8 p.m. The next time you stop by Biaggi’s, check out their summer schedule to see if there is a performer or two that you’d like to see. The shows are free apart from the whole eating dinner thing. Tuesday nights bring back Guitar Hero to the giant projector screen at Cowboy Monkey from 5 to 10 p.m. That’s right, you can play Guitar Hero down at the front of the stage in front of an eight-foot screen with the music pumping through the house system. Pretty awesome and free. Local indie-popsters, Headlights, along with the Beauty Shop and Shipwreck, will lend their sizeable draws to a show for new Nicodemus Agency band Dark Meat (a huge group featuring members of Neutral Milk Hotel and Elf Power) on Wednesday night at Mike ’n Molly’s. See what all the fuss is about at 8 p.m. in the beer garden. Next week: Ian Shepherd returns with a new band, and artists come together for a great cause — Invisible Children.

GUITAR HERO NIGHT

• STAFF WRITER

Summer in Chicagoland has proven fruitful thus far. I learned to walk around with my mouth closed with the unpredictability of cicada fl ight patterns coincidentally at the same time, for instance. I’ve always taken full advantage of the great live music. Last weekend I went to the Taste of Randolph, one of the million neighborhood festivals in and around the city, where I got to see New York’s The Walkmen. One of my favorite bands, The Walkmen played a great set fi lled with old and very new material; crowd favorite currently untitled, referred to as “Red Moon,� showed a lot of promise for their next record. The highlight of the afternoon wasn’t any performance on stage but the drunk dude next to my friend, RJ, and I. Designer jeans and pointed toe leather boots complemented his dirty, sleeveless University of Michigan T-shirt perfectly. The look was brought together by his 10 year post-collegiate beer belly and Lance Armstrong sunglasses. Overall he had an “It’s not about the bike/I miss my frat,� vibe going on.

“Man bra, I’m getting up with you guys,� he slurred as he pushed up to the guard rail where we stood. “You guys, these guys are going to rock.� Suddenly the place started to smell like Kam’s on a Thursday night and I got caught up in the most ridiculous music-related conversation I’ve had in a long while. Without any sort of logical transition, he started talking about how much Pearl Jam embodied Rock ‘n Roll (fi st in the air). Tolerating this 30-something’s rant I brought up how I was seven when their fi rst big single came out and hoped the conversation would fi zzle from there. When I think of the ’90s, I like to think of Pavement and Modest Mouse, not who I consider was the gateway for Puddle of Mudd and Co. to destroy radio. Maybe it’s the jean shorts and disgusting hair but I could never get totally into grunge. It might also be because old sunburned dead beats like to bust out lighters when they hear “Jeremy.� Unsatisfied with his failed attempt to connect with youth, he moved on to Rhymefest (?!) and The Roots and then came to my two least favorite bands in the world; Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool. Moments before this all happened, RJ and I talked

B ETWEEN | CLASSIFIEDS | THE STINGER | CU CALENDAR

about how I only seem to have music conversations with people that really like Tool and how frustrating it is. They wear the “Tool� shirt, they don’t shower, they have weird soul patches. As much as I love totally inaccessible time signatures and deadly amounts of pretension, Tool is not my thing and this guy was not having it. A wasted guy with little knowledge in a particular subject is a surprisingly unpersuasive arguer. After losing the battle of Tool, he thought he could convince me that “THA PEPPERS MAN� were a great band. When someone doesn’t like a band because all their songs sound the same and someone else likes them for the same reason you get a heck of a conversation. After a series of “yeah man, no man� exchanges, the concert started. In the end, I enjoyed the experience. From neighborhood block parties to f lea markets and street festivals, drunken people always seem to entertain more than the live music and deep fried food ... sigh ... I miss college.

Turn it up!

If there is any question from doubting theatre goers why one of the longest running shows in Chicago has found its home at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre, one only has to see Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman’s remarkably entertaining Wicked. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, with music and lyrics by Schwartz, Wicked is the imaginative reworking of the back story of The Wizard of Oz. It details the lifelong friendship and confl icts between the misunderstood Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch. What is the secret to Wicked’s phenomenal theatrical magic? The musical is a visual theatrical spectacle with strong central characters familiar to all audiences who have seen the cultural iconic fi lm, but it also weaves an intriguing visceral narrative that creatively restructures the known characters’ motives. Elphaba is not an evil person, and instead we learn that she has been victimized by her appearance and the circumstances of her life. Wicked is a story of female empowerment and self-realization. The musical features central characters who are female and whose goals and aspirations directly affect the plot and storytelling structure. It’s about friendship, competition, jealousy, cattiness and reconciliation. The fi rst act fi nale, “Defying Wicked collage by Amelia Moore. IMAGES COURTESY OF WICKEDTHEMUSICAL.COM Gravity,� features Elphaba in fl ight discovering her full powers just before she’s invited to meet the great Wizard of Oz. Women and girls of all ages will enjoy this show. Wicked is an appealing tale of wish fulfi llment with moments of heartbreak and love. Anyone who enjoys good fairytales will be attracted to how Wicked tells the story of Elphaba wishing to be understood for the person she is and hoping to fi nd the love of the handsome Fiyero, who unfortunately has promised himself to Glinda. Toward the end of the fi rst act, Elphaba painfully realizes her wish for love may never come true in the touching song, “I’m Not That Girl�. Wicked also offers a thoughtful consideration of the issue of prejudice and why people seem to misunderstand and treat those who are different with malice. The completely green Elphaba is shunned initially by her father for her odd appearance, and later she becomes an outcast in school. Because Oz forbids his animals to speak and wishes to confi ne most to cages, Elphaba champions the cause of her learned professor who is a goat. Finally, Wicked is an effective example of musical comedy by the creative talent of six-time Tony Award nominee Stephen Schwartz and directors Joe Mantello (a two-time Tony winner) and Wayne Cilento. People who remember Schwartz’s songs from ’70s shows like Pippin and Godspell, to his work in animated fi lms like Pocahontas and Hunchback of Notre Dame, will thoroughly enjoy Wicked’s memorable tunes like “No One Mourns the Wicked,� “Popular� and “Defying Gravity�.

MOVIE REVIEWS

PARIS, JE T’AIME JEFF GROSS • STAFF WRITER

R

Paris, Je T’Aime (Paris, I Love You) is one feat of a f ilm. It’s a bold collection of short films that dare to tackle the complex, multifaceted concept known as love in variously different ways. And what better way to discuss love across the world than to gather worldwide talent and set it in the city of love? Paris, Je T’Aime is a collection of 18 short films from 18 different writers/ directors that range in style, talent, and fame. From Vincenzo Natali (Cube) to Alfonso Cuaron (Children Of Men) to Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street), a variety of actors/actresses — including Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman and Steve Buscemi (is it me, or is he in every movie?) — come together to make an incredible movie. Given that there are 18 shorts in the film — and I’m only allotted 300 or so words — it’s difficult to review the film at a micro-analytical level. As an overall product, however, the film gets a solid three stars from me. The brief but meaningful shorts provide insightful, metaphorical explanations and descriptions about love. Some specific shorts that stood out were those of directors Vincenzo Natali, The Coen Brothers, Gus Van Saint, Alexander Payne, Isabel Coixet, and Sylvain Chomet. Chomet’s piece (one about two French mimes) was by far the best short in the collection. It was pure avant garde style and humor, much in the vein of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Alas, not all of the shorts are of as high of a quality as the aforementioned ones. A few are just obnoxiously pretentious while some are just plain boring. The first few shorts in particular are quite, for a lack of a better word, bad. Don’t let the film’s slow start turn you away, however, as the shorts quickly get much better. It’s a perfect date film with plenty of that romantic crap. It’s also a good one for all you artsy folks out there.

FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER CLIFF WHITE • STAFF WRITER

DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE PAUL PRIKAZSKY • STAFF WRITER

PG-13

There is a strong correlation between the amount of clothing worn in DOA: Dead or Alive and the movie’s level of intelligence — and that’s next to nil. It’s new-age exploitation for someone like Quentin Tarantino, who has probably already seen it twice. This kind of smut typif ies Showtime on demand, but at the multiplex? Give me a break. Based on a video game, or next month’s issue of Maxim, DOA features Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki and Holly Valance as scantily clad heroines evoking various degrees of ass-kickery, jiggling their way through a martial arts tournament on a mysterious island — who cares? Bikinis... DOA is a male masturbatory fantasy. If you’re into girl-ongirl, stylized violence, and lack of substance, you could do a lot worse. Disregarding any male’s carnal instincts, there’s not a single redeeming quality to be found. Guilty pleasure? Sure. It’s escapist entertainment at it’s finest, and maybe that’s the biggest letdown. Leaving the cinema and not coming home to Jaime Pressly decked out in Daisy Dukes is a downer and makes the experience a little bittersweet. But in reviewing DOA I’ve wasted too much breath and used a dozen words that much of the cast and crew have and probably will never hear or be cognizant of. People beating the hell out of each other is more entertaining on UFC. If it’s porn that you want, download it. At least that’s free — or so I hear.

Amidst a summer already cluttered with blockbusters, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is the little sci-fi adventure that could. Only midway through June, Fantastic Four marks the third comic book movie and fourth big budget sequel of the year, and it doesn‘t disappoint. All of the stars of the first film, Ioan Gruffudd (Reed Richards), Jessica Alba (Sue Storm), Chris Evans (Johnny Storm), and Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm), return and are in great form. Following in the footsteps of the original Superman film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer does not attempt to be anything more than family-friendly, escapist fun. While fans may have their reservations following the original Fantastic Four film, this one takes all the right steps with only a couple forgivable misfires. Opening with a shot of monstrous smoke which chars an entire planet until it looks like a blackened piece of barbeque, Fantastic Four: RSS builds anticipation in the audience without cheapening the revelation at the end. Unlike some superhero comic book movies, this one allows the characters to have real lives and problems without overly dramatizing them to fit some political agenda or metaphor. The complexity of the family dynamic is what takes center stage. Families have problems. Some members want to move away, some feel they are not given enough consideration, some are oblivious to the problems at all — which causes more problems. The movie does not offer any solutions to the problems other than trying to talk about what people want and why. Then, they go off to fight the Silver Surfer, the military and the supervillain Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon). Even though there are movies available for small children or adults, for a clear-cut, young adolescentaccessible fantasy, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything out there that’s better. sounds from the scene

CALLING ALL TEENS

Join the campaign for comprehensive sex ed.! Teens can play a powerful role in standing up for their health needs and educating each other. Locally, the Teen Awareness Group, a group of trained teenage peer educators, provides individual and group presentations about topics like birth control, STIs and healthy relationships to local schools and organizations. The impact is powerful: peers who would not otherwise receive this information are educated on options regarding decision making around sexual activity, birth control and medical care. They are taught skill building techniques to help with their refusal skills and assertiveness and are equipped to ultimately make decisions that are right for them. With supervision, training and room to apply this information to their own environments, the peer educators become highly effective in their roles. In addition, teen educators are incredibly knowledgeable about how informed their peers are on sexual health issues; they are very aware of what kind of education needs to happen. This kind of teen-led model is really important if we are going to provide sex education that is both medically accurate and ultimately useful for those receiving it — teens.

FIGURING IT OUT As advocates for accurate sex education, we are often confronted with questions about what kind of sex education is appropriate for children and adolescents. Generally, there is a fear that sex education — usually within junior high or high school — would be too advanced, morally inappropriate or replace the role of the parent. There’s also a dual assumption: “Children I know aren’t going to have sex, and those who are having sex aren’t children I know or care about.” Therefore, the question of sex education seems moot; it doesn’t impact our lives. For those of us who were adolescents once, we should know better! Although some teens are not sexually active, most teens are experimenting sexually in some way. In addition, all children and teens are sexual individuals. Unfortunately for most of us, we had to figure out sexuality without assistance from educators, parents or other adults. How awesome would it have been if we were provided with information that would have helped us understand sex and make decisions that matched our values? According to the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH), 83 percent of Illinois residents believe that students in this state should receive information about birth control and sexually transmitted infection prevention. Almost 90 percent of Illinois residents believe that teens should not be sexually active, but they should know how to practice safer sex. In another study, ICAH found that 66 percent of sex education teachers do not teach about how to use condoms. Over half of these teachers didn’t even provide information about where to find birth control or sexual health-related resources. TEENS SPEAKING UP “Adults” have fought for quite awhile over

INTRO | A ROUND TOWN | L ISTEN, HEAR | THE HOOPLA | STAGE, S CREEN &

IN

what is appropriate sex education for adolescents. Just recently, abstinence-only education — which is what it sounds like: abstinence and more abstinence — received an increase in funding from Congress. (You may remember the recent report released by the government that found that abstinence-only education was not an effective form of sex education.) However, the voices that we haven’t been hearing from (mostly because adults aren’t listening) are the voices of teens. Teens should be dictating what their health curricula teaches them, if for no other reason than because these classes are specifically for them. For the past three years, the Campaig n for Comprehensive Sex Education (CCSE) has been working with community leaders, parents, teens and school representatives to promote medically accurate and comprehensive sex educat ion in loca l schools. Last year, the Urbana School Board approved a health curriculum which drew heavily upon existing comprehensive sex education curricula. For the fall, CCSE is planning to host a sex education resource fair to give parents, teachers, chi ldren, adolescents and other interested individuals an opportunity to hear what sex education could look like in CU, resources for talking with kids about sex and information about how we can all advocate for age-appropriate, comprehensive sex education in our community. TEENS WE NEED YOU! Do you enjoy our column? Are you interested in sexual health? Are you bored this summer? Then join us in sex education initiatives happening here in CU! CCSE is in the beginning stages of planning the comprehensive sex ed. resource fair for the fall. Because comprehensive sex education affects teens, you are a necessary voice in this group. Join us at CCSE’s upcoming planning meetings; meet new people; learn more about sexuality; and help us plan the sex education resource fair. SEX 411: BE A PART OF COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION FOR CU! • Planning meetings for CCSE will be held on July 2 and July 18 at 5:30 p.m. in the 2nd floor meeting room at Planned Parenthood of East Central Illinois — 302 E. Stoughton, Champaign. All are welcome. • For more information on CCSE, contact Jen Cunha at jcunha2@uiuc.edu

March 21 – April 19

We’re almost halfway through 2007. It’s time to take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you, Aries: Have you been making reconnaissance missions into previously forbidden territory? Are you seeking adventures beyond the borders of your known world? I hope so. I hope you’re blowing your own mind on a regular basis, both by exposing it to ideas it has never dared to entertain and by seeking out exotic experiences it has no precedents for.

T A U RU S

May 21 – June 20

We’re almost halfway through 2007. It’s time to take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you, Gemini: Are you working hard to heal the indecisiveness that has dissipated your energy in the past? I hope so. You’ve never had a better chance to unify your divided mind than you have now; you will continue to be the beneficiary of unprecedented help from cosmic forces whenever you make concentrated efforts to coordinate your diverse desires. I urge you to invoke all your ingenuity as you seek out the magic that will make you a virtuoso of variety.

CANCER

June 21 – July 22

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Cancerian? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and make the following declaration: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this year I realized in many colorful ways that limitations are my friends. The obstructions I faced eventually forced me to become far more resourceful than I’d ever been before. The wastefulness I uncovered showed me how important it is to shed my trivial wishes and focus intensely on my top priority desires. The confusions I encountered taught me valuable secrets about how to master my emotions and dissolve my superstitious fears.”

LEO

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Virgo? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say the following: “This was the year I came all the way home. It was a turning point when I learned to speak with my own voice instead of trying to speak with the voices of everyone who’s ever been important to me. In 2007 I found my power spot, my mother lode, my sacred ground. For the first time, I have a deeply felt certainty that I belong here on this planet; I belong here in my life; I belong here in this community and this mission and this body.”

Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, it’s time to assess how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you a few pointed questions. Have you been reinventing yourself from the ground up at least once a week? Have you been shedding old shticks and learning new tricks? How relentlessly have you committed yourself to the arts of liberation? There’s still a lot of time to become even more receptive and responsive to the steady stream of wake-up calls that life is sending your way. For the next six months, you’ll have cosmic luck on your side whenever you actively court the fertile blessings of future shock.

We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. Are you exorcising the ghosts that have messed with you for so long? Have you been wrapping up all unfinished business and resolving every ambiguous pain-in-the-ass that has sapped your energy? I hope so. By your next birthday, I’m rooting for you to finally graduate from the lessons you’ve been studying for years. Then you’ll be primed and receptive for the fresh teachings that will begin flowing your way in 2008.

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Aquarius? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say something like the following: “I’m pleased that this year I’ve met many new people and expanded my network and reached a bigger audience. I’m ecstatic that I have deepened my connections with pragmatic idealists who share my core values. And I’m proud that I have honed my message and product so well that I’m having a more profound influence than ever before.”

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Leo? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say the following: “This was the year I learned how to play and have fun on a higher level. I resurrected everything I knew about playing and having fun as a child, and applied it to my life as an adult. I liberated my imagination in the bedroom and in the workplace; I gave myself permission to seek out amusement and delight as if they were the holiest motivations of all. I cavorted and joked and fooled around as if my dreams depended on it.”

Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, it’s time to assess how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you a few questions. Have you been working hard to increase your value? I don’t just mean economically, although it’s true that this is the best time in over a decade for you to make more money and launch long-term plans for financial growth. But I hope that you’re also adding to your worth in every way you can imagine, like by getting the training and new skills that will make you irresistible to future employers, lovers, and collaborators; and by purifying your motivations and clarifying your ethics and bolstering your integrity.

April 20 – May 20

We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. Are you becoming a better judge of character? Have you cultivated your skill at reading people’s energy and understanding what motivates them? I hope so, because 2007 should be the year you generate big benefits for yourself by bringing out the best in your allies and cohorts. Whenever you catalyze their potentials, the universe will in turn conspire to catalyze your potentials.

How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Pisces? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say something like the following: “To my astonishment, this was the year I beat 70 percent of my fear of success and dissolved 80 percent of my tendency to sabotage my ambitions. Not only that. To my great satisfaction, I shed 70 percent of my martyr complex, lost 75 percent of my fascination for glamorous suffering, and smashed 85 percent of my perverse attraction to the victim archetype. This was one of the Best. Years. Ever.” Homework To check out my expanded audio forecast of your destiny for the second half of 2007, go to http://RealAstrology.com.

Sept. 23 – Oct.22

We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. I hope you’ve realized by now that although you’ve always been a pretty good communicator, there’s room for you to become even better. For instance, you can learn to be much better at saying what you really mean instead of what you think people want to hear, yet without sacrificing your natural tact. You can also become more adept at staying true to yourself while still being sensitive to other people; you can increasingly find that you don’t have to lose touch with what you really feel as you empathetically tune in to what everyone else feels.
