In my mind, Fourth of July weekend has always signified the middle of the summer.

While it doesn’t technically mark the season’s midpoint, given that summer actually starts on June 21, it usually falls equidistant from the end of the prior school session and the beginning of the next.

This is usually the point in the summer when I realize I haven’t accomplished nearly as much as I planned to and that I need to start getting my butt into gear. My plan to get into great shape, which began some time in the winter, was thwarted by a concussion. Prior to the injury, I was on quite a health kick. Maybe it’s time to start hitting the ARC and eating healthy again.

I also planned on working on music much more than I have been. This should be the perfect time to start writing new material, but for some reason the creative juices just haven’t been flowing. Perhaps the stress, lack of sleep and constant activity of the school year foster more creativity. Perhaps I’m just being lazy now that I have a break from all of that. Maybe I just have no idea what type of music I want to make or how to focus myself on one singular sound for a project.

While I’m celebrating the holiday this weekend, it will be impossible for me to ignore the fact that my final summer break as an undergraduate student is halfway over. My final school year, barring grad school, looms large on the horizon, and I will soon be a graduate living in the (gasp) “real world,” expected to contribute to society and fend for myself.

I’m still coming to grips with the ideas of adulthood and, frankly, personhood. I don’t think that I’ll ever come to a conclusion on how to be a good person.

In the end, nobody really has life figured out like the way we thought we would when we were little. There’s no defined moment when we stop being kids and start being grown-ups, as much as I wish there was. People just gradually started calling me “Sir,” and I’d rather have a beer than a Coke with dinner. Other than that, I’m still just floating on, trying not to screw anything up too badly.

This weekend is all about celebrating our country and the rights it affords us: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” I’m going to use this weekend, and the rest of the summer, to attempt to define for myself what happiness is, so I can start pursuing it..

Have a great Independence Day, readers!

Listen to the Ray Charles version of “America the Beautiful,” and try to stay clear of the NSA.

I am the table.

» Deafheaven: I am hightailing

Summer boredom

by David Robertson The dog days of summer are right around the corner.

The initial excitement experienced at the end of the school year has worn off, temperatures are at an all-time high and you might start to grow bored.

This is why July is National Anti-Boredom Month.

Listed below are a few ways to fight off boredom and celebrate this special month.

1. Do some odd jobs and make some even money It’s probably too late in the summer to snag a job at a restaurant or store, but there’s plenty of money to be made doing odd jobs like yard work. Write down a list of chores you can do in and around the house that people in your neighborhood might need help doing. Then post flyers advertising those tasks for a reasonable price. Mowing lawns or helping elderly ladies in their gardens is far more profitable than ringing up items at a grocery store. Plus, you get to know your neighbors better.

2.Go to a waterpark Make a daylong trip out of going to a water park, whether it’s a local one or a mega-tourist attraction such as Magic Waters in Rockford. It’s something you can only do during the hot summer months.

3.Catch up on a TV show Are you never able to faithfully watch a television show during the school year? If so, this is the perfect time to catch up on the shows you’ve always wanted to watch. A few popular selections right now are True Blood, The Walking Dead and Arrested Development.

it out of Urbana this weekend to catch Deafheaven at the Subterranean in Chicago, and it's safe to say I'm stoked. This band couldn't be any more hyped, but give their sophomore LP Sunbather a listen (or two, or three) and you'll instantly know why. It's a great record, undoubtedly, but it has spun the music media-sphere into the same overdone cycle it went through following the release of Liturgy's Aesthethica in 2011. Are Deafheaven a black metal band? Do black metal fans have to like the music to constitute it as part of the genre? Does Pitchfork know what it's talking about when it comes to good metal? Well, here's my question: does it really even matter? And here's my answer: fuck no.

Deafheaven are a band clearly talented enough to draw influence from black metal as well as postrock and other genres, and tie it all together into a masterpiece. We had best sit back and enjoy it.

» House Music: House music does not bother me one bit anymore, and I find that fucked up.

I was changing the clock in my car the other day and the first thing that came up in my mind was “my car clock changes at 130bpm,” the perfect tempo for a house song. While I used to judge my friend and family for listening to house music, we now mutually fist pump and drunkenly enjoy the bright synth sounds and beat drops. My guilty pleasure of hearing beats build and drop has been haunting me for a good portion of this summer, though I think I can finally be at peace with it with this Yikes. And don’t worry, “Mo Money Mo Problems” will still always have a place in my party playlist.

ummer 2013 recently had its first sleeper hit with Summit Entertainment’s crime-thriller Now You See Me. The movie, which revolves around a team of stage magicians who rob banks and share the spoils with audience members, opened to a surprising $29.3 million, surpassing Will and Jaden Smith’s sci-fi adventure After Earth at the box office.

Summit Entertainment, now owned by Lionsgate, ran a phenomenal advertising campaign, highlighting the film’s enthralling, original premise and the presence of likable actors Morgan Freeman and Jesse Eisenberg, among others.

Moviegoers seemed to connect with the story about giving back to the less fortunate, packing theaters for an opening weekend box office haul that far surpassed studio expectations.

In a season crammed with blockbuster sequels and remakes, releasing movies like Now You See Me is a tough gamble for studios. However, if a film is at least halfway watchable and enjoyable and is advertised strategically, it has potential to be a sleeper hit, as audiences crave fresh ideas and entertainment.

Summer 2013’s movie schedule seems to have a few

more original, lower-budget flicks like Now You See Me in store. With the right promotion and depending on how other factors play out, these films could put up some serious box office numbers.

Releasing James Wan’s new horror film The Conjuring in mid-July is counterprogramming at its finest. On July 19, the fright flick opens against action sequel Red 2, action-comedy R.I.P.D. and the animated Turbo, which features an all-star voice cast. Rarely are moviegoers treated to horror fare in the middle of summer, so The Conjuring has potential to break out and be this year’s The Others or The Sixth Sense, two horror films that were summer box office champs years ago.

The Conjuring tells the true story of one of the paranormal cases investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren. The first two trailers released for the movie are terrifying and present a good deal of scares. In fact, the movie was smacked with an R rating simply for being too frightening, so Warner Brothers needs to present the movie as an “adult horror film,” not just another schlocky teen haunting. If Warner Brothers also emphasizes that the

movie is based on a true story and stresses the involvement of horror hit-maker James Wan, the mastermind behind Saw and Insidious, in their advertising campaign, they could have a $100 million-grossing picture on their hands.

Opening one week later is CBS Films’ raunchy comedy The To-Do List, which revolves around a girl named Brandy who makes a list of things to accomplish before college in order to become more sexually experienced. With a female protagonist played by hilarious rising star Aubrey Plaza, The To-Do List looks like a female-centric version of August summer smashes Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. The movie should be able to draw many female moviegoers, a demographic that has been underserviced this summer, but the challenge for advertisers will be reaching male audiences, who would probably rather see The Wolverine that weekend. If the movie is anywhere near as funny and endearing as comedy behemoth Bridesmaids, The To-Do List should have legs at the box office and become a much-needed hit for CBS Films.

Inexpensive recommendations, breakfast through dessert by buzz Food & Drink staff

great tasting food can become a frequent favorite when priced right. We’ve compiled a short list of no-fail, easy-on-the-wallet dishes to last you throughout the day. Read on for our recommendations around town for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner and dessert.

Sam’s Cafe: The Western Where: 115 N. Walnut Street, downtown Champaign When: Breakfast In the heart of downtown Champaign lies Sam’s Café. A hometown creation, it is located at 115 N. Walnut St. and if you’re looking to satisfy your early morning cravings, it's the place to come.

This central Illinois treasure introduces a break-

fast dish simply known as The Western: an omelet formed to perfection with the inner workings of every meat lover’s fantasy. The Western is made up of three eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, tomato, onion and cheese. As an added bonus, four pieces of toast accompany the tray. This morning joy will cost under $7. Compared to similar products from local chains, it is definitely a deal worth checking out.–Spencer Brown Bombay Grill’s Lunch Buffet Where: 302 S First Street, Champaign When: Every Saturday and Sunday 11:30-3 p.m.

When I get a craving for quality Indian food, I always head over to Bombay Grill. However, a fra-

grant and delicious pot of curry can rack up quite the bill at the end of the night. Thank goodness for the First Street location’s weekend lunch buffet, which offers you an assortment of six curries, basmati rice, their take on tomato soup, insanely addictive cumin chips, endless baskets of naan and dessert for a great $14 flat price. (Apparently, the buffet also features a cold bar, but I’ve always hightailed it straight to the hot bar.) This means that I can eat all the tikka masala, tandoori chicken and chana masala that my heart desires. And, if my stomach is willing, snack on a bowlful of sweet, creamy carroty gajar halwa, a.k.a. the best dessert on the planet.–Jasmine Lee Big Grove Tavern’s Happy Hour Where: One East Main Street, downtown Champaign When: Monday through Fridays, 3-6 p.m., half price bar snacks, only available at the bar Gastropub Big Grove Tavern prides itself on its innovative and sophisticated menu, amping up the taste and creativity on everything from a deviled egg (I can pop their split pea deviled eggs by the dozen) to the burger (a surprisingly approachable bison offering). Their bar snacks are no exception; go for the tater tots, you will not be disappointed by these crispy balls of shaved potato, deep fried and served with apple puree and crème fraiche. Additionally, I would do dirty things to keep myself supplied for life on their malt vinegar aioli. Their pickled vegetables have helped me convert my friends onto the spectacular-ness that is pickling. But why all this talk about BGT’s bar snacks? Because you can get them all half price, every weekday, from 3-6 p.m. That’s what I call a happy hour. So take a friend, head on over to downtown Champaign, situate yourself

at the restaurant’s gleaming black bar, and gorge yourself on an appetizers-only meal. Oh hey, and on Wednesdays, celebrating Hump Days, BGT has five dollar cocktails. –Jasmine Lee Black Dog’s Burnt Ends Sandwich When: Lunch or Dinner Where: 201 N Broadway Ave, Urbana Black Dog’s Burnt Ends Sandwich is irresistible. They smoke their brisket for 12 hours and then shave the burnt ends off and smoke them for an additional 12 hours to soak in all the juices. You have to come as close to 5 p.m. (or 11 a.m. for lunch) as possible because they’re only available until they sell out—and believe me, they go quickly! The sandwich is stacked with refreshing homemade slaw and to-die-for Carolina Red BBQ sauce. At a price of $7.95 (+ tax) you can get the sandwich with one side.

I recommend the cornbread, but it will cost a little extra.–Alice Moon Boltini Lounge’s Brownie Tower When: Dessert Where: 211 N Neil St., Champaign Boltini Lounge understands the human tongue­­— they provide the most elegantly dangerous dish in town, the Brownie Tower. Built beautifully with layers of fudge brownie, drizzled chocolate and a sliced strawberry, the brilliant creation is accented by two shot-sized portions of spiked chocolate milk. The glory is overwhelming, sometimes making it difficult to dig in; but I’ve experimented with this dish many times, with many people, and it’s safe to say that any combination of dipping, slicing, shooting, mixing and drizzling is appropriate. It’s enough dessert for two to three people, but at a mere $7 it is appropriate to hoard all of the brownies and drinks to yourself. –Carrie McMenamin

No Unwanted noise here

Error Records host show and screening of Dither: The DIY Sound

By Maddie Rehayem

T

he opening credits to Dither: The DIY Sound are as such: “A film by us, made possible by you.”

Crowd-sourced by way of Indiegogo, the film itself was a do-it-yourself effort, and does an excellent job of explaining what exactly that means.

Through interviews with DIY legends of sorts Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi and Jacob Bannon of Converge as well as many others, filmmakers Sam Geneser and Bret Hoy, who graduated this spring from Missouri State University, put together the documentary for their audiovisual class by exploring the world of punk rock, past and present.

Geneser said the film evolved as they made it.

They originally set out to make a documentary about music more generally, but zeroed in on DIY after an interview with Mark Sarich, who runs LEMP Neigborhood Arts Center in St. Louis, Miss., which has been a DIY space for years.

In the film, Sarich speaks to the timelessness of punk. How it is a cycle, a platform for expression generation after generation. Why? Because DIY music offers something that any other kind of commoditized music cannot. “[MacKaye and Bannon] put it so well, it’s almost kind of solidified the way I feel about certain things,” Geneser said. “Ian MacKaye has a good way of putting it: DIY or punk, whatever you want to call it, is essentially free space. It’s somewhere you can go to see new ideas presented and it’s a place where ideas trump profit.”

In that place, expectations are lowered, shows are cheap, and anything can happen. The DIY scene in Champaign-Urbana is a testament to that mantra. Dither will screen this Friday at a show at Error Records, a space successfully funded by the people who wanted to see it happen.

Error now puts on several shows a week, but

no punk event yet has compared to this past April’s Skeletal Lightning Fest, which took place at the Red Herring and Channing-Murray Foundation in Urbana, at which the Dither crew did some filming.

“I think what we really took away there was capturing the essence of camaraderie and friendship.” Geneser said. “Everyone’s just kind of like, arm in arm, singing along, just having a good time. No one’s too worried about how well the bands are playing they’re just there to have a good time and hang out.”

Since Skeletal Lightning, Error Records has provided that same sort of space for music, friendship and camaraderie on the regular.

And each of the bands playing there on Friday also made an appearance at the fest, and many in the film. Footage of the Reptillian, Alta and Hank. can be found in the documentary.

As for the ending, according to Geneser: “It’s

not really conclusive, it’s more of a call to action.“ Sarich explains it best at the end of the film.

As a given scene starts to decline, the younger people hardly have a decision to make. Making music is their duty now, and in a non-judgmental DIY environment, it’s impossible to go wrong.

“Everything you do is a success, if you do it.

It’s the undone things that aren’t successful,” said MacKaye in the documentary. And even if you have to work several jobs to sustain it, like Jacob Bannon explains that he still does, it still means everything to put out un-tarnished music and to be able to share it with the world.

Dither is an audiovisual term that can be defined as “a randomly generated noise that prevents unwanted noise in recordings.” And in a way, that’s what DIY ethics do for music – DIY punk is noise created without financial pressures or concerns with commercial success.

Music in its purest form.

emuria makes music for crisp fall days and lemonade-soaked summers. They are the choice indie pop band of the hardcore crowd, but that and their co-ed vocal approach aren’t the only things that make them unique. Lemuria play the Highdive on Sunday, and buzz got a chance to chat with singer/guitarist Sheena Ozzella and bassist Max Gregor about their diverse fanbase, dream tourmates and the improved musicianship of their latest album, The Distance Is So Big. » buzz: How is the tour going? » Sheena Ozzella: Tour is going great. We’re in Detroit, Michigan, right now. It’s sunny outside. This has been really good so far, We’re two weeks in and we still have until the end of September so this is very much so the beginning. » buzz: You played a show recently in Chicago with Tenement, how was that? » SO: It was awesome. Amos set it up at this house that is in Appelton, Wisc. and a lot of kids came. We actually got there kind of late so we missed the first band but we made it just in time to see Tenement and they were so good. » buzz: Who are your favorite bands to play with? » Max Gregor: Screaming Females is probably one of my favorites that we’ve ever been on tour with.

Them and Joyce Manor. We were also on tour with them for a while and they are the greatest. They are actually the best punk band in the world right now. » buzz: You think so? » MG: Oh yes, definitely. » buzz: Interesting…next chance I have to see them I definitely won’t pass that up! So, about your new album, did you all write the songs on it? » SO: We did, yeah. We wrote the album in a span of a year, year and a half, about. Now that we all live in different cities from each other, every time we get together we set out a bunch of time to practice and a bunch of time to work on the ideas that we did have for songs. At one point we were in a pie shop writing together, and then at one point we were in my house in the garage writing for a little bit. » buzz: Max, how did you originally become a part of Lemuria? » MG: I was touring with Lemuria about four years

ago, just kind of hanging out, being a roadie guy. We were on a full US tour and right at the end of that tour was when they went in the studio to start recording Pebble and at the time they had this fella Kyle (Paton) playing bass. Kyle was a Canadian citizen, and after this tour I went back to Texas, which is where I live, and they were in Baltimore recording, and during the recording process Kyle went back to Canada to visit his family and everything. When he crossed the boarder, he ran into some issues with immigration and they didn’t wanna let him back in, but Lemuria was still touring at the time, still had a bunch of dates coming up, so at that point I just kind of came back up and learned the songs just so that I could fill in for those two shows. We realized that Kyle’s situation was a really complicated one that wasn’t gonna be easy for him to get out of and I just kind of fell into place as the permenant bass player.

After we started touring I think we all just kind of felt comfortable with it. » buzz: So a kind of bad situation turned into kind of a good thing for you. » MG: Yeah, it’s kind of like a happy ending all the way around ‘cause obviously I’m really happy with my position in Lemuria right now but while it was really frustrating for Kyle too at the time, he owns a really amazing restaurant and bakery in St. Catherine’s up in Ontario called Rise Above. So he’s been super successful up there and he might not have had that opportunity if he wasn’t kind of forced to spend some more time back in Canada in a way. I think we all made the best of what at the time was a really crappy situation. » buzz: What’s the new album about? » SO: I think because (Drummer) Alex (Kerns) wrote almost all of the lyrics on The Distance Is So Big I think he would say that it was basically an album dedicated to getting over and dealing with a relationship that he was ending at the time throughout the year. I feel like it’s pretty obvious in the lyrics that you can tell that, but I think that’s what he would say lyrically the theme of the album is. » MG: It’s like the theme of a breakup album but with a really positive outlook.

This is f***ing Awesome

Thrift shop reviews from around town

By Buzz community staff Dandelion, Vintage Clothing Store. Champaign,IL. Photo by Animah Boakye

ver wonder where Macklemore got that dope FUBU jersey he's probably wearing in his newest video? You'd bet he got it at the thrift shop. These stores have been popular with those strapped for cash for a while now, but your favorite place may have been picked clean by the masses after the hit song dedicated to them hit the billboard charts. Last year, our readers named Dandelion CU's Best Place to Buy Vintage Clothing. But C-U is home to numerous resale stores, including some you may not have known about.

We sent our staffers all over town to scope out some other places in search of vintage goods.

Twice is Nice Location: 607 W. Elm Street Hours: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Located in a dignified old house owned by the First Presbyterian Church, this shop offers a wide variety of items for a low price and good cause.

The shop is managed by church volunteers and proceeds go to maintaining the church and supporting mission projects such as Habitat for Humanity, Eastern Illinois Food Bank and Center for Women in Transition. Don’t be put off by going into a house. It’s a little bit tighter than other stores, but still comfortable and usually has enough volunteers talking that you don’t feel weird browsing. There’s something in every room in the house, and they even have supersales on the clothing racks outside. The shoe selection for women usually has a couple gems, and they have a ton of kitchen items, perfect for students moving into their first house. They also have funky needlepoint wall decorations and random donated posters. Payment is cash only, and the changing room is the bathroom, but it has a full length mirror. Their prices are comparable with Salvation Army, if not lower.

Also a great selection of old postcards and other ephemera. Super convenient if you’re living in the area and I’ve gone there every year for Halloween costume help. They get a lot of donations and do a good job of keeping things seasonally

appropriate. There’s always a basketball waiting to be purchased and taken to the court on Springfield. —Jennifer Haare Goodwill Location: 912 W. Anthony Dr. Hours: Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Sunday 4-6 p.m.

Thrift shops are a veritable treasure trove of affordable goods. The Goodwill located off of North Prospect in Champaign is no exception.

I have been there quite a few times and never left empty handed. I always find something I needed, or a fantastic new item that I never knew I wanted. The Champaign Goodwill is huge with several racks of clothing, a whole outdoor/toys section, an electronics section with very well priced TVs, a DVD/VHS collection, a section of vinyl records, dishes, silverware, fabric, candles and a miscellaneous section. Collectors with a good eye can also find valuable gems for very low prices. To make their deals even better, they have a “color policy.” Every item in the store is marked with either a sticker or a little tag. There are several colors, and any item marked with the color of the day is automatically half off. If you buy within the colors, $20 can go a very long way. There are some downsides. While the clothing selection is absolutely top notch, a lot of the non-clothing items are a bit grimy. Some of the other sections are really unorganized. Many items are broken or in slightly bad shape. All in all, I would recommend shopping here for clothes, but any other types of items can be hit or miss. —Alex Slifer Salvation Army Location: 109 W. John Street Hours: Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

The Salvation Army is cheap, close to campus and convenient for shoppers since the Green bus line stops nearby. Their inventory consists of clothing for men and women at a reasonable price: $2.50 shirts for ladies and shirts at a similar price for gentlemen. It also has blankets, duvets and other household items like dishes, pots and pans. Other items include wallets, purses,

books (hardcovers and paperbacks ranging from $0.75-$1.25), picture frames and some furniture, among other things. Though, when it comes to furniture, their supply is limited.

However, the Salvation Army redeems itself with its “color of the week” bargain. Any item tagged with purple, for example, is half off that particular week. The color discount is advertised at the front entrance and changes from week to week. As one should at any thrift store, inspect items thoroughly. Especially clothing for loose buttons, loose threads and stains, and cookware for cracks, wear or grime. Going here can be a total deal, but buyers should be careful. Dirty items can always be washed, but use caution. — Katrina Halfaker Transitios Location: Lincoln Square Mall Hours: Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Transitions, “an empowering resale shop,” is a program sponsored by the Center for Women in Transition. This store is run by volunteers and caters to women and children. They pack a lot into a small store in the mall and sometimes have a “bag” sale where you pay a flat rate to fill up a bag. They have jewelry counters and a small “boutique and brand new” section. The clothes are all clean and in good condition with stuff from Gap and Target in the women’s section. They accept donations and are currently looking for maternity wear. They have a bra wall and many hats. They have a big shoe selection and lots of clothes for children. Shirts, tanktops and shorts are reasonably priced at around $3 to $5 a piece. For funky fashion, it’s not a must-see. But if you’re looking for some basic summer stuff and want to support an awesome cause, it’s worth checking out.— Jennifer Haare La Belle Boutique Location: 114A North Vine Street (next to Schnucks) Hours: Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Sunday 12 p.m.-6 p.m.

This store just opened up last winter, and is located right behind the Starbucks on Vine. It’s part of Good-

will Industries and offers new and gently used brandname clothing, shoes, housewares and accessories.

The store is much smaller than the regular Goodwill and showcases many items, providing an intimate “boutique” shopping setting without the boutique price, with most items priced under $20. At the front of the store is an extensive jewelry case which lacks the usual mess of plastic knock-offs found at other thrift stores. With scarves, heels, hats and belts, La Belle has a vast selection of accessories for any occassion. You can even find Nike, Adidas and Puma on quite a few labels in their athletic clothing section.

It also looks like a good place to pick up some clothes for an office job or a date night. —Jennifer Haare Johnstown General Store Location: 502 E. John Street Hours: Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Remember Notes-n-Quotes? Well, they’re now partnering with Johnstown General Store.

Notes-n-Quotes is still producing course packets, but Johnstown General will be selling them.

Aside from course packets and school supplies, Johnstown General Store provides a nice array of goods ranging from household furniture to dishware, cleaning supplies and knick knacks.

Overall, the prices are fair to reasonably cheap, especially for dishware. Most of the mugs, glasses and bowls were $1 each. A lot of the bookshelves, desks and couches look to be in good condition.

When it comes to electronics, the quality is not clear. If you’re curious or skeptical about the merchandise and want to test it first, ask to do so.

One prevailing benefit is the distance. If you live in a house or apartment on campus, transporting items from the store is easy for those without a car. Aside from selling some quality used goods and course packets, Johnstown General Store also has newer items in stock. However, most of the newer items are things one might already buy new such as sponges, mops, and notebooks. All in all, the store is cleanner than your average thrift store dive, and the variety is pretty good for such a small space. – Katrina Halfaker

LIGHTING UP THE SKY Buzz talks to Chris Bell, evening coordinator for this year’s Champaign County Freedom Celebration Fireworks show

BY JOHN MILAS

D

espite a relatively young culture, the United States has existed as a sovereign nation longer than countries like Greece, Italy and Germany. Americans celebrate this reality on Independence Day. July Fourth celebrations commemorate the day the U.S. declared its independence to the world, a federal holiday that has been observed since 1941.

What makes Independence Day festivities

different from the typical summer holiday cookout are the traditional evening fireworks shows.

“We’ve been doing ours for 64 years in Champaign-Urbana,” said Chris Bell, evening event coordinator and general coordinator for the Champaign County Freedom Celebration.

Bell, an Urbana native, has been an assistant or evening coordinator for the past six years.

He recalled the first year he started volunteering.

“The first year I helped at Parkland, I was sitting on a golf cart waiting and listening,” he said. “I was watching the fireworks, but I was listening to all the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs.’ That’s what got me hooked.”

Bell has volunteered every year since.

This is his first year as the general chair. The way the system works is that a general chair serves one year and becomes the board president the next year. The board president serves only in that capacity, and Bell hopes to again be the evening event coordinator in two years.

“I like doing the evening part,” he said.

Bell balances his time volunteering with the Champaign County Freedom Celebration Committee and Board while driving Mass Transit District (MTD) buses, which he’s done for 19 years. The volunteers for the celebration are always looking for more personnel.

“We love anybody that wants to join,” Bell said. “The more people we have, it makes it that much more easy for everybody.”

The Freedom Celebration Committee operates independently of the university or the cities of Champaign or Urbana.

“This is strictly done by corporate donations and personal donations,” Bell said.

For the 2013 celebration, the fireworks will be moved from Dodd’s Park back onto campus at parking lot E14, west of the State Farm Center.

This year’s location was chosen as a safe location within the community.

“We’ve had nothing but compliments,” Bell said on the location change. “I’ve heard one negative response and probably over 150 compliments.”

The fireworks are being put on by Melrose Pyrotechnics, an internationally renowned team located in Indiana. They’ve demonstrated their skills abroad and received awards throughout

China, Japan, Canada, and Vietnam. Melrose Pyrotechnics has done the Champaign County Freedom Celebration fireworks show since before Bell has been involved.

“They set up the whole show,” Bell said.

“What we do is set up a safety zone area.”

All of lot E14 will have fencing around it by the evening of July 3. Melrose Pyrotechnics will put up their equipment in yet another fence within lot E14 and put on a show that’s usually between 25 to 28 minutes, according to Bell.

Personnel from Melrose have been on site as early as this past January to ensure that safety is paramount.

“The gentleman that comes from Melrose does a very good job,” Bell said. “When they get here I make sure they have their area, and then we usually just leave them alone and let them do their thing.”

“I’ve met people that have never seen the fireworks here,” Bell said with pride. “They might have seen them in Chicago, and then they compare them to ours, and they say they’re just as good as ours if not better.”

It makes sense as Melrose Pyrotechnics’ list of clients includes Navy Pier, along with the Chicago Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. “Come out and see the parade,” Bell says to prospective attendees. “Go to a party or a cookout, and when it’s time for the fireworks come out to stadium terrace and see a great fireworks show.”

Festivities start as early as 7:20 a.m. on July 4 with various 5K races and the main parade at 11:05 a.m. The fireworks show begins at approximately 9:15 p.m. following entertainment a couple hours earlier.

BRIEF BOX

(Continued from page 7) » buzz: I think the new album sounds a lot fuller and almost more energetic than your old stuff. Was that intentional? » SO: I don’t think it was intentional. I think with the addition of Max writing with us, this is kind of what we’re heading toward I guess. Also, we started Lemuria almost 10 years ago and when we started the band we were barely capable of playing the instruments that we were playing. What the 10 years showcase of our band is that we’ve gotten a little bit better at guitar and drums of course, so I think we’re changing it in the way that The Distance Is So Big is showcasing. » MG: Also the production on that record, we approached it a slightly different way where we gave ourselves a lot more time and kind of were able to indulge a lot more of the experimentation that we wanted to try with recording, and I feel like that sort of lends itself to maybe adding a few extra layers here and there, and maybe overall giving the album an opportunity to be come a little bit fuller. » buzz: I think that came through. I really like the album. » MG: Thanks. » buzz: What kind of music are you guys listening to right now: » SO: Salt ‘N’ Pepa... » MG: Yeah, yesterday I did a lot of driving. I listened to Salt ‘N’ Pepa, Whiskeytown, Crispin Glover...

We’ve kind of been testing things out from the 90s. I sort of had this experience with the first Third Eye Blind record where somebody whose musical taste is kind of bulletproof to me said that this album ruled, and I gave it a listen and the album kind of rules, so I sort of expanded that out into listening to other '90s bands, full records that maybe had a couple hits on them that I remember. None of them quite stand out to the first Third Eye Blind record, which is really a solid record. We were listening to Blind Melon the other day – it was horrible. I was trying out Soul Asylum, Bush. » buzz: So can we expect a super '90s-alternative album from Lemuria next? » SO&MG: (laughing) Maybe! » buzz: Being a pop punk/indie pop band signed to Bridge 9, do you think your music reaches a lot of hardcore kids that it othersiwse wouldn’t? » SO: I think so. I think since we signed to Bridge 9 I’ve noticed a large amount of new people coming to the shows. It could be a mixture of both like the NPR stream or whatever but I definitely notice a positively large number of people coming to the shows that I don’t think necessarily look like they fir into the pop punk or indie crowd, you know? » buzz: Your music’s kind of everywhere—turntables of hardcore kids to an NPR stream. » SO: One thing I can say I appreciate is definitely that we fit in with a lot of different bands and we have a comfortable time playing uncomfortable situations.
