EDITOR’S NOTE SAMANTHA BAKALL

Where did the summer go? How is 2012 already more than halfway finished? How am I already well on my way to 22? What my parents and other venerable adults told me is completely and frighteningly true: time does pass even faster as you get older. As a punk-ass 16-year-old, I didn’t believe them. “Poppycock!” I thought. I was so wrong. The week before school started, I somehow managed to pack in half a dozen things that I had wanted to do for the entire summer but never got around to. It’s sad that it took the impending arrival of my final year of formal education (ever) to get my butt into action. What is it about having long stretches of time that causes most people (all of us? just me? some of us?) to just not get anything done? I know for sure that I had quite a list of to-do’s for summer 2012 and I can tell you quite frankly that probably less than five of them were completed. With this year being most likely my last in Champaign-Urbana, I’m a little sad. I’ve become quite comfortable with the tree-lined, cobblestone streets of Urbana and the inviting patio tables filled with friendly faces in downtown Champaign. Before long, I will be bidding adieu to the twin cities that have helped me get through four years of college and decide my future. From my sudden realization that nothing is permanent, I’ve learned that it’s best to take advantage of things while they are available, instead of waiting until they’re convenient. Sure, staying out an extra hour on Wednesday nights at Seven Saints probably isn’t going to feel that great Thursday morning, but that moment won’t ever happen again, so why not enjoy it? The long bike rides through the Urbana cornfields are only doable when the weather is permitting, so I force myself out of bed instead of pressing “snooze.” While this 2012-2013 year may be my last in Tree Cities USA, I’m not going to let that get me down. I’ve got nine months or so to fill with one-of-a-kind moments with friends and professors that I won’t ever get again. So I’m going to carpe every diem and make ‘em proud. Time’s a tickin’.

LABOR DAY by Thomas Thoren

TALK TO BUZZ

BUZZ STAFF

It’s about time the University’s students get a break this Monday, because I think I speak for all students when I say syllabus week was just a little too demanding this year. Knowing the amount of work that I will have to do at some point in the next four months is work enough. I’m kidding, of course; hardly any of us can honestly say we worked much at all this week. But regardless, we deserve a Labor Day for doing no labor whatsoever. Sadly, we won’t have the rest of our Mondays off when we actually begin working this semester. And while most of us students will have Monday off because of the work our country’s laborers have done, there actually are many students who are working to get themselves through college. So here’s to you all. I’ll be sure to let you go in front of me in the unemployment line we will all end up in anyway. So whether you are running home for one final moment of solace before facing a fall filled with 40,000 students or attempting to drink yourself to death before the post-syllabus weeks begin, enjoy your three-day weekend. When you become a full-time job hunter after college, you’ll reminisce about the days when your life had three-day weekends, and not just one giant weekend.

» Puzzles: I like puzzles. I’m not sure what it is about them, but I like them. A few days ago, I started a 2,000 piece Vincent Van Gogh “Starry Night” puzzle on my living room table. From this experience, I’ve learned that 2,000 is a lot of pieces. I would know. I sorted through all of them looking for the edge pieces and then going through the other probably 1,800 separating them into color piles. Dark is pretty large right now. At moments I was, and still am, wishing that maybe these 2,000 pieces were 2,000 other things, like job offers, pieces of chocolate or pugs. But alas, they are still puzzle pieces, and my table will be occupied until I finish which means I better make this snappy. If you also happen to like puzzles, hit me up because I’ve got some major work ahead of me. LAUREN BLACKBURN DESIGNER

» Doctor Who: Doctor Who season is almost upon us, everybody! With the new episode airing this Saturday, I’m very happy to have cable in my apartment, although I am definitely not looking forward to Amy and Rory leaving the series. They’ve been around for two whole seasons! I guess given that Rose was a companion for a solid two seasons, it’s about time for the Ponds to move on, too. Rumors say that their departure is going to be heartbreaking. I have no idea what Moffat has in store for us viewers, but my favorite fan theory about the recent seasons is that Rory could possibly be The Master (he isn’t surprised with how the TARDIS is bigger on the inside when he first boards it!). It’s a stretch, but if you’re interested in the theory you should totally check it out on the interwebs. Anyway, if Moffat says there will be tears at the Ponds’ departure, I will be weeping. Saturday can’t come quick enough!

GRIPE » Tumblr: With the school year coming up, I’ve decided to temporarily quit my Tumblr account. I briefly cancelled my account last year during National Novel Writing Month so I could meet my daily writing quota during November, and it was by far the best decision I ever made. I was happier, since the always-obnoxiousand-easily-offended Tumblr community was no longer creeping its way to my attention. I was exponentially more productive, finishing my NaNoWriMo challenge with a day to spare. Tumblr sucks and is a huge waste of time, but I’ll probably come crawling back to it anyway in like... a month. buzz

Brad Pitt in True Romance. Used with permission from Warner Bros.

ast week, film fans everywhere were met with news of Tony Scott’s death. As a director, Scott was largely associated with the action film genre. He was a master of creating films that get your blood pumping and pulse racing. At the same time, he didn’t allow the limitations of the genre to restrict him as a filmmaker. If you look at his filmography, you will spot comedies such as Beverly Hills Cop II or the vampire film The Hunger. In his over-30-year career he directed 17 BUZZ feature films, making it difficult to bring this list THURSDAY down to AUGUST six films. As 30a producer, he has worked on 49 titles. Scott a directing corp Tony note...keep thishas same size always style that is easy to take for granted because of its influence 1 X 5.417 on the modern blockbuster. Were all of his films successes?

buzz pays tribute to director Tony Scott

Top Gun (1986) There isn’t a more alpha male film in movie history than Top Gun. From the classic volleyball scene to the painfully awkward sex scene between Tom Cruise and the oh-so-dreamy Kelly McGillis, this movie defined a generation. The 80s were all about leather jackets, motorcycles and slicked back hair, and a ton of that has to do with Top Gun. Risky Business put Cruise on the map; Top Gun put him into a superstar stratosphere. And you better believe every man in the history of man wishes he was Maverick and wishes he had a wingman like Goose. True Romance (1993) Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, and from then on things go from bad to worse in this Quentin Tarantino-penned script. When Alabama Whitman (Patricia Arquette) and Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) — an Elvis-obsessed comic book store clerk — cross paths at the movies, they fall in love, spend the night together, and get married the next morning. Here is where their problems begin. Alabama is a prostitute, and Clarence takes it upon himself to get her released from her pimp. One of the things that stand out

about this film is Gary Oldman’s performance in the role of the pimp, Drexl. He is unbalanced and basically playing a feral dog in human form. The film as a whole is offbeat. For example, Clarence’s Elvis obsession manifests itself into day dreams where Elvis serves as a spirit guide. It is tempting to imagine what True Romance would look like if Tarantino took on directing duties, but Tony Scott brings Tarantino’s script to screen, and the colorful dialogue, stylized violence and memorable cameos that are associated with Tarantino films remain intact. Crimson Tide (1995) After nearly three decades of filmmaking, Scott’s tenth film, Crimson Tide, finds his adrenaline-pumping pace at its absolute fever pitch, with plenty of insightful pondering on war and authority to pair well with all the beads of sweat. While aboard the submarine USS Alabama, Lieutenant Commander Hunter (Denzel Washington) must attempt to reconcile his ideological differences with his superior, Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman), in order to both avoid nuclear war with Russia and save the lives of the crew aboard. Breakneck pace, deft storytelling and superb editing all combine to inject Scott’s gripping brand of action in its most potent form. It all would blaze by too quickly if not for the thematics delivered by a vehement yet sensitive Washington. Enemy of the State (1998) Mild-mannered lawyer Robert Clayton Dean, played by Will Smith, is living the American dream. He has a beautiful wife and son, a nice house and a high-paying job. However, his life is thrown into chaos after the chance encounter with an old friend leaves him holding evidence of a politically motivated murder. Dean finds himself on the run with his assets frozen and every movement being monitored by NSA agents. It’s up to him to stay one step ahead of the men tracking him in order to both save his life and solve the murder. Enemy of the State is an example of Tony Scott at his best. The high stakes action sequenc-

es in the movie are filmed excellently. Scott comes up with enough wild chases and explosions to help mask the cheesy quality of any blockbuster action film. Man on Fire (2004) Tony Scott was an extremely gifted visionary — anything he touched turned into box office gold. Man on Fire displays his intense style of movie making. Creasy (Denzel Washington) is an ex-assassin who has been altered by the darkness in the world. Looking for work, his old partner (Christopher Walken) finds him a job working as a bodyguard to protect young Pita Ramos (Dakota Fanning). Complications occur when Pita is the next victim of the kidnapping ring in Mexico City. With bullet wounds and a mind full of controlled rage, Creasy sets out to bring Pita home by any means necessary. Scott holds nothing back in this powerful thriller. The graphic nature of Creasy combined with the gentle innocence of Pita yields a perfect balance that is seamlessly illustrated by Scott’s timeless technique. Unstoppable (2010) Scott transforms his penchant for the explosive and fiery to simmering suspense in his film Unstoppable. A runaway train, with every routine way to stop it (air brakes, slow derailment, structured collision) gone, is barreling through traffic, curved bridges, and other oncoming trains. Scott focuses tightly on a duo of conductors, old-timer Frank (Denzel Washington) and newbie Will (Chris Pine). Frank decides to go on the Odyssey-like quest of chasing the train down and pulling it backwards. He knows the speed of the train would cause massive explosions, enough to wipe out small cities. His only ally is Will, who was hired to replace him soon. Yet both characters develop a full dialogue, uncharacteristic of action genres, and morph from antagonists into humble heroes. Elegant and reserved, the film makes train operation a systematic beauty, and only Scott could have married classic action and his sheer filmmaking virtuoso to do so.

I don’t like to think, I just like to do stuff.

★★★★✩

that looms over the film. This presents an interesting contrast to the joy-filled celebrations that the community of Bathtub partakes in. It would be easy in a film like this one to insert overly cutesy or quirky side characters to fill the roles of the community. Beasts of the Southern Wild avoid falling into that trap. Instead, these are characters that feel real despite the dreamlike world they occupy. With the Quvenzhane Wallis as ‘Hushpuppy’ on the set of BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. Photo Credit: Jess Pinkham threat of natural disaster, the majority of A southern bayou area named Bathtub is where while living conditions are rough, her point of view the area’s residents pack up and plan on moving Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) and her fa- is understandable. The film is filled with bright away. Wink makes plans for him and Hushpuppy ther Wink (Dwight Henry) reside. Bathtub is a lights and eye-catching fireworks. Pretty shades to stay. Hushpuppy’s teacher’s statement, “y’all swampy area surrounded by water and cut off of greens and blues fill the screen. better learn to survive,” becomes more real than Like in most tales of man versus nature, a storm ever. Both the film and Wink never spell out exactly from the mainland. At one point, Hushpuppy calls Bathtub “the prettiest place on earth,” and is coming. This piece of information is a dark cloud why he chooses to stay, but it is clear that he stays

because this is his home — he might as well stay and take on the storm. Hushpuppy serves as the film’s narrator. She is six years old and is an adventurous, tiny ball of energy that is wise beyond her years. Quvenzhané Wallis puts her all into this performance. She reminds me of another young female character, Mattie Ross, the protagonist from the Cohen brothers 2010 True Grit remake. They were both characters whose stories I wanted to revisit 10 or 20 years down the line (In Mattie’s case, my wish was granted). Two remarkable girls who make me wonder what kind of adults they would grow up to be. Dwight Henry’s Wink, as a father that is trying to be there for his daughter while knowing his time is limited, is another stand out performance. Some of the best moments of the film are when Hushpuppy and Wink interact, whether they are playing, fighting, or taking care of each other. Beasts of the Southern Wild is director Benh Zeitlin’s first feature film. Zeitlin shot the film on 16mm, which gives it a grainy look that adds to its overall aesthetic. He is credited as a writer along with Dan Romer and Lucy Alibar. The script is based on Alibar’s play, Juicy and Delicious.

Regional Bias Electric Bitters - Memoirs of a Dysfunctional Relationship by Tyler Durgan

Photo used with permission from Electric Bitters

n the 1890s, medicine and health care were still primarily homeopathic. Door-to-door salesmen pedaled deep catalogs of miracle pills promising to cure all sorts of ailments. One of the most popular was a drug called Electric Bitters, prescribed for “the depressed, poor appetite, bothered with headaches, fidgety, nervous, and generally out-of-sorts.” Taking the same name as this antique drug, Champaign power sludge band Electric Bitters displays similar symptoms. Their droning bass and thundering drum accompaniment shares an angry confusion with patients, agreeing “if you want to purify your blood, you want Electric Bitters.” The band’s debut effort Memoirs of a Dysfunctional Relationship showcases the band’s ability to craft mind-numbing recreations of life’s darkest moments.

The ten-track LP kicks off with the tormented “Bottled Up,” which follows the ricocheting antics of bassist/vocalist Holly Rushakoff. Just as the rolling bass seems about to pummel the landscape before it, Rushakoff’s soaring tenor takes back the controls. However, it’s not enough, and the resulting behemoth that is Electric Bitters quickly consumes the rest of the album. Stand out track “Lose Our Cool” is arguably the pinnacle of the album’s self-destruction. At once it is both implosively frightening and delicately seductive. The alternating careful falsetto glide and bass-heavy pound invite peril yet manage to ward off all hopelessness for a staggering six minutes. Although the medicinal form of Electric Bitters has since faded, the musical act Electric Bitters is much more likely to commiserate, if not heal, a heart “generally out-of-sorts.”

Music for the ears Electric Bitters to release album at Mike ‘N’ Molly’s by Maddie Rehayem

ocal band Electric Bitters got their name from an old newspaper advertisment promoting a “medicine that would cure anything and everything.” Singer/bassist Holly Rushakoff found the ad while searching for records of a former student whose tuition receipt was found in a purse in old Lincoln Hall, before it was renovated. Three years later, Lincoln Hall is reopened, and the magic potion’s namesake band is releasing an album to celebrate its third year in existence. This Friday, Electric Bitters will celebrate their third birthday at Mike ‘N’ Molly’s with a CD release show. The album, entitled Memoirs of a Dysfunctional Relationship, is their first. Mixed and recorded largely by Brett Sanderson of Psychic Twin, the CD is a point of pride for the band. “The whole process to create a final piece is a milestone for any band, so we’re happy about that,” said Holly Rushakoff, bassist and singer. The artwork for Memoirs, 100 copies of which will be on sale at the show, reflects the aesthetic of that old advertisement. “[Electric Bitters] is from the early 1900s, and we also just thought about doing letterpress for our CD artwork,” said Rushakoff. John Bonadies, who owns and operates the Living Letterpress in Champaign, is a friend of Rushakoff’s and helped the band to achieve the right look for their album artwork. “He knew all of the different items…like he knew he had bottles, and the mortar and pestle, and the skull and bones,” said Rushakoff. 6

Each letter or symbol used for the printing functioned to tie everything together: band name, song meanings, and aesthetic. “‘Bottled Up’ being track one, and Electric Bitters being this bottle of tonic that cures all ailments, and it being the symbol on the cover — it just all worked together kind of serendipitously,” Rushakoff said, “Writing the song, I have to say, was totally therapeutic, because it’s quite an honest outpouring of the ending of a relationship that I personally had to deal with.” In that way, Electric Bitters functions as a tonic for its own three members. “We have the DIY ethic throughout this whole process, and that’s something that we’re proud of,” Rushakoff said, of the way her band does things the old-fashioned way. Rushakoff mentioned that she is also baking cookies for the show, and guitarist and singer Gabe Jackson is hand-screening band t-shirts. Although the band’s ethics and aesthetic are throwbacks, Rushakoff mentioned how important the Internet is to their promotion. “This is a digital era, and even my previous band (Triple Whip), we did have a website, but there wasn’t bandcamp,” said Rushakoff. “It just feels like with social media now, we can do a lot from home to share our music,” she said. Sharing is important, especially for a band that cannot tour due to family commitments and such. Recorded and sharable music, though, should be more common in the band’s future than it has been in the past.

“The process [of recording the new album] enabled us to make Rex (Bennett, drummer and singer)’s basement our recording studio,” said Rushakoff. Although they now have the ability to record, Electric Bitters are in no hurry to return to the studio just yet, as they are busy promoting their first set of recorded songs. Eager to play the

new material, the CD release show will feature the band’s new music and a drink special, an “Electric Bitters Shot” available at Mike ‘N’ Molly’s this Friday. Opening the show is a stellar lineup featuring Terminus Victor, Lonely Trailer, and Gonzo Diablo. If the music doesn’t cure your ailments, the band’s signature shot might do the trick.

step into a world of shoes Spurlock Museum unites the world through shoes

by Thomas Thoren

he phrase “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” just does not seem to cut it anymore. Not when you have Spurlock Museum offering the chance to walk around the circumference of the earth — so much more than one mile at about 24,901 miles — and across most time periods by exploring shoes from nearly all of the regions of earth and its history. Beginning Sept. 4 and running until Feb. 10, 2013, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., will host its “A World of Shoes” exhibit. With over 60 pairs of shoes from 20 different countries, and spanning thousands of years, Spurlock is ready to showcase shoes in a way that will open visitors’ eyes to their significance throughout history. “What I want people to look at is what are [the shoes] made of, how were they constructed,” said Kim Sheahan, assistant director of education at

Spurlock and coordinator and curator for the exhibit. “I want them to think in terms of how would it sound to hear someone walking next to you in them. Is it something you would wear every day, or is it something for special occasions?” She said she wants visitors to think about all the information they subconsciously collect from shoes but do not think about when they look at a shoe in a store. For example, a shoe’s sound as it strikes the ground, its appearance, and the occasion when it is worn all help to send a message by the shoe-wearer. The shoes in the exhibit are divided into seven themes: sports, style, soul, service, substance, self and sensuality. These explore the different ways to think about shoes: if they were worn for work, fashion or to be attractive, for example. While researching shoes, Sheahan said she found that there are a multitude of books to choose from.

“There are 10,465,000,000 books on shoes to begin with. That might be one or two off,” she joked. Despite there being so many books, Sheahan said most of them only cover the Western Hemisphere, ancient Egypt and parts of China. When she came upon the topic of lotus footbinding shoes in China, she saw that there are many differing opinions on what purpose they served, whether they are worth talking about and how they were received by the people who live with the shoes. While collecting shoes for the exhibit, there was a wide variety of moccasins from North America and shoes from China, Sheahan said, but the rest of the world was hit or miss. The shoes they did end up collecting were placed into the gallery’s seven themes. For shoes representing the soul, Spurlock’s exhibit has a pair of Chinese paper shoes that

are part of a Chinese tradition that says if you take a paper representation of something and burn it, the smoke will then take that item to your ancestors in the afterlife. Another example is a pair of Japanese Shinto priest shoes, made of wood with a black lacquer exterior and a white cushion interior. Sheahan was able to locate a pair at the Izumo Taishakyo Mission of Hawaii and now has them on loan. She said the basis for Spurlock’s shoe exhibit dates back to the inception of the museum’s present location. Spurlock employees wanted a temporary display case in each of the museum’s main galleries that would enable a cross-gallery display to connect them all. They always used shoes from around the world as their go-to example of such an exhibit. Now they have finally made this dream a reality, and with it their first cross-cultural and cross-generational themed exhibit.

Soft Whispers with Ira Glass

“The way we’re setting everything up, in some ways, is very different from usual. We’re really trying to emphasize color, and signage is going to be different than what people are used to,” Kim Sheahan said. “This was a good opportunity to work on look and how we can make the room look different and give it a different feel than a static, normal museum look. So we’re really excited to see what people think about it and whether they’d like to see something like this again.”

Many of the display cases will also include QR codes that will send visitors to websites with additional information. Sheahan said a cross-cultural exhibit is desirable for many reasons, but mainly because it enables her to maintain connections with experts in many areas. When an exhibit is specific to a single topic, she connects with that area’s experts but may have to wait many years before being able to work with them again. “It’s always been a sadness to us that we will start

networking with a great group of people but we can’t continue,” she said. “When you’re doing shoes, we can bring in people from all over the world.” Sheahan said the shoe collectors who donated to the collection loved to share their stories behind the shoes and what they mean to them. Many of the donors are even from central Illinois, including the Museum of the Grand Prairie in Mahomet, which loaned animal shoes. “They’re very personal things,” she said. “People love shoes.”

AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2012

The exhibit’s grand opening will run from 1-4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 16. Spurlock will be offering free food along with a tap dance performance by Chicago’s Jimmy Payne, Jr. from 2-2:45 p.m. Spurlock will also host its “Gotta Dance!” during the weekend of Nov. 9. This will include dances involving special shoes as well as movies such as Singing in the Rain and The Red Shoes. Sheahan is currently working to bring in a tango dancer for demonstrations, as well as an African gumboot dancer.

CU SOUND OFF

by Thomas Thoren

What are you most looking forward to this year?

uad Day was brimming with bright-faced newcomers to the University. Prior to that many of them were uncertain of what path they would take in the coming year. I spoke with many of them in their first days on campus, and some had specific clubs or interests they wanted to explore,

while others had no idea of what to expect. But they are shared one common theme: they wanted to get socially active and fit in. Now that Quad Day has come and gone, hopefully these students have begun to find their niche, but for any who have not, there is still time! Informational

nights go on for weeks, so you can still catch up with clubs before they get going. Even if they have begun, you can still send an email expressing your interest in the group, which will get you up to speed. Not that you have to join any clubs to have a social life at the U of I. You could just walk right

up to someone and say hi, really. That’s how I interviewed these people, and look at me, I have five new friends! For my coming year, I’m looking forward to avoiding the real world for one more year and maybe making my resume not so depressing to look at.

“Probably just meeting new people and experiencing new things I haven’t at home. U of I is so big, there’s just so many different things and opportunities you can take advantage of. I’m excited to see what it has in store for me. I’m looking into business frats because I’m switching my major to business after this year, so I’m trying to see people in that area.”

“Expanding my social horizons. Getting to know different groups of people and finding which one I fit best in. I’m looking for if they have a gaming club, like video games and such. That’d be pretty nice.”

“I’m looking forward to a new start and meeting new friends, and the social life and all that. I’m going to rush this fall and then I’m going to Quad Day so I’ll see what that’s like. I’m trying to keep an open mind about things.”

“Meet new people. That’s it. You know, just hanging out with people, making new friends and stuff like that. Just you know hanging out in dorms, stuff like that, just going to all the events and everything around here. I’ll find out on Quad Day. I don’t even know what the clubs are yet.”

that. So it’s a new position for me, but it’s a lot of familiar territory.

» buzz: So you’re the new GM of Seven Saints? Anne Clark: Yes, as of the beginning of June, basically. I was Andy’s [Borbely, previous general manager of Seven Saints] assistant manager for the past year and a half as well, and I’ve worked here for over three years in addition to

» buzz: Could you describe your background and how you got here to this management position? Clark: Do you have all day? [Laughs.] My training is — actually, my field is in music. I got my bachelor’s in cello performance at Indiana. I played in a professional orchestra for a couple years after I graduated and was also bartending. I’ve been in the restaurant industry about since I started college, as well. While I had been playing cello since I was, like, eleven, starting in the restaurant industry at eighteen seemed a little more appropriate. But both of these trails in my life have been going in tandem since then. While I was in college, I was working in restaurants. While I was in the orchestra, I was bartending in Miami. When I came to UI for grad school, I also got a job in a bar in Urbana. I came to grad school for ethnomusicology, which Illinois has a fantastic program for, and I was able to get an assistantship. A lot of ethnomusicol-

he new general manager of Seven Saints, Anne Clark, is young, enthusiastic and practically vibrating with energy. She has been working in the restaurant industry since she was 18 years old, and while she became manager just this past June, she’s been working for the bar for the past three years. She’s passionate about beer and liquor — she is brimming with facts and trivia, and is prone to tangents — and has a natural, cheerful rapport with her staff and with customers. Her favorite drink to make is a martini, in which the experienced and deft balance of ingredients is crucial to the enjoyment of the drink, and that actually is a very accurate reflection of her way of thinking and of herself as a person.

ogy is doing fieldwork — it’s the study of music as a part of cultural experience — so while I do have the training to, like, analyze scores and to do music theory, I also have the anthropological training to understand why music is so effective for people culturally, why it’s significant. It’s so cool. Plus, you’re talking to people, and music is such a dear thing to so many people because everybody has these strong ties between experience and musical life, and they’re very strong ties, mostly because they’re non-linguistic ties, so you don’t have to describe what they are, just that feeling, you know? Anyway, so both of these things have been going on for Anne Clark for a long time. And the restaurant industry was a great way for me to have the flexibility to attend rehearsals, to go to concerts, you know. The work I needed to do as a student, as a professional musician, I had the time to do by being in the industry. Andy actually hired me at this bar in Urbana, and that was in January of ’07. So we had worked together for the rest of his time at that bar. Then when he

came over to Seven Saints, you know, we stayed in contact because he was very knowledgeable in the field and a very great resource to have. So when I changed restaurants, I came straight to Andy. I was bartending and serving here for some time, but being the general manager of a restaurant is no small feat. I mean, I don’t think anyone thinks it is, but for a place like Seven Saints that’s open lunch and dinner seven days a week, you have the potential to work ungodly hours. But you can’t babysit every light bulb in the house. What I’ve learned is that the best success you can have is being proactive, predicting what’s going to be necessary, not only so customers have the best experience they can have, but putting things together so that your staff can be the most effective... I’m very fortunate here at Seven Saints, as the successor of Andy. One of his greatest strengths was finding individuals who would represent Seven Saints well, who would have the charisma and intelligence and general friendliness to get people intrigued in

what we sell and what we have to offer. It’s not necessarily the products that hit the table, it’s not the food or the drinks — it’s the experience that people are having that Seven Saints is really thrives on. That’s why we have so many loyal locals. That’s why every year we’re fortunate to do very well, because we care about every person who comes in, and every person wants something different. I was fortunate enough to have a very strong technical training in the service industry, because I came from several corporate restaurants that established certain paradigms of service that will always stay with me, that I always share with my staff, because they’re like the maxims of the service industry. When you remember these paradigms, they stick with you, and their principles help create a better service experience for the customer and for the staff. By having that corporate background, some of those very structured ideas have been imparted to me in a way that represents how my ideal service would go. And also I’ve had the opportunity to work with some very private restaurants. And that’s cool because what that brings to the table is this sense of the importance of the individuals. An independent restaurant has to create that experience for the individual. I think for me personally, having both of those environments, both of those structural examples, I’ve been able to take the best from both. About November of 2010, it became apparent that there needed to be somebody who had a larger role in the front of house service, and at the time, I was finishing most of my coursework for grad school, so I had a lot of flexibility with my schedule and had tons of experience and worked well with Andy, so I was given that first promotion to assistant manager. That entailed things like keeping the floor running well, making sure the staff was happy, just being another person who could have some authority, frankly, who could set standards and see them come to fruition, and could do the schedule and make sure things got put away. The little things, basically. And that was for that year and a half-ish, and when Andy decided to leave, you know, they [Andy and the owners] presented me with the opportunity to take his role. Don’t get me wrong — there is still stuff to learn every day. Andy’s energy and interest and knowledge will always be the foundation of Seven Saints, but as I see it, it’s my responsibility and where my energy comes from, is to uphold that, and to continue to rejuvenate what it means to be successful in a town like Chambana. We have a loyal clientele, but the population is transient, you know? It’s very important for us to be fresh. This back bar isn’t intimidating to me or the bartenders who know where everything is, but I’m not going to lie to you — there are customers who know that back bar as well as we do. So for us, it’s like, we have to keep them happy as well. Those are the things that I can show you, and say “you gotta try that next.” So at once I’m saying that this is a product that I completely believe in, because we have it, and also that this is a product I’ve tried and really like. Reinvigorating what the Seven Saints brand is, keeping the consistency, keeping the things that people love available

but always pressing forward to offer what is new and exciting, both for loyal customers and for the new folks who come in, and again, for the staff. We’re not robots. We want to be excited about the stuff we’re selling. » buzz: Do you want to leave your mark on Seven Saints, to turn it into “Anne’s Seven Saints”? Clark: You know, I don’t know what to tell you about that. I think in some ways, yes, but for me, it matters in a very personal way. It matters to me that my staff respects and appreciates me, not for my sake so much, but so that it’s helpful for them. I want to be helpful to the people I manage. In that way, I want to make my mark, I want to do the best I can for my staff, I want to make their job to be so easy and so awesome that the people keep walking through the door and buying the ciders [as an example of a product type we sell]. I keep telling them, ciders are cool, we have great ciders, but that’s only maybe a third of why people are coming in here. You’re the big part of it. Of course I want the customers to know that Seven Saints is taken care of, but it’s not so significant to me that it’s tied directly to me. I’m a little more shy than that. I want them to enjoy Seven Saints for Seven Saints. It’s the bar that should draw people in. Every individual is significant — we’re all a part of what is Seven Saints. I’m for sure not above that. » buzz: It’s great that you are a woman and in this managerial authoritative position. Clark: Yes! Let’s talk about that; that’s very important to me as well. So you know there was this first wave feminism, second wave feminism, and now this third wave that some are trying to reinvigorate. For so long, it was almost faux pas to say “I’m a feminist,” and I mean, effing A, come on, why not? It’s important. It’s important for all women to take it personally, and by that, I mean be responsible and present yourself well and demonstrate that women are every bit as capable and sometimes better at things. Manifesta, that text in particular, gave me a great perspective on that. I, too, thought that, you know, so naïve [jokingly], ‘it’s not really that bad anymore. There’s not really that gender separation.’ But B.S. As you get into more and more venues in life, as you work your way up, you see it all the time. The boys’ club is still alive and well. But I will say, it’s interesting in the way that Seven Saints has the opportunity to work with young people. A lot of our staff is either in school or recently graduated, and I think that the men and women who work here, we share a lot of things so that the gender dynamic isn’t as vast as in most places. And that’s one of the things I always want to continue to stress and strive for at Seven Saints: that everybody who works here is here because they are charismatic and intelligent and friendly and work hard and this is the version of the beautiful world, because I know it’s not like that everywhere. Some staff who come here are like, “Thank god I’m here now, because this other job, it was all tits and smiles. That was my job, tits and smiles.” And as a woman, as a loudmouth woman [laughs], I can’t handle that stuff. I can’t do it. I mean, I come from a pretty liberal ideological

background. It’s pervasive through all of it. And I think it’s cool for me because the men I work with ... they’re good guys and respectful, and it’s good for the women who work here. We [women] are not always going to be the servers — and I mean servers in the figurative sense — we’re not always going to be the administrative assistants. We can be the executives. We can be the ones who are telling our male assistants how to do things. And I respect my manager position. I respect the individuals, first and foremost, but I respect what that authority represents. One of the greatest things I learned in high school, and the teacher said it almost flippantly, “freedom is responsibility.” I don’t have set hours, I don’t only have set responsibility, so in that sense I’m very free, you know, in some ways in this job, but the responsibilities are even more tremendous, and authority is the perfect example of that. My owners are very respectful and trusting that I am making the right decisions, and because of that, I have to be even more responsible because I am their representative and I’m the representative of my staff, so that authority is important particularly

as a woman in this industry. And maybe this is the double-edged sword: I had worked with everybody as my peers, and I had a little bit of authority, and then ultimately as their boss. But like in any other relationship, respect has to be mutual. It has to be reciprocal. It’s a cool thing for me, working here. The people I work with all want to learn stuff, so whether we’re talking about beer or whiskey, I don’t have to worry about my guys here ever being disrespectful towards women staff. I don’t have to worry about that because I’m fortunate enough to be able to hire the people who don’t act that way. One of the greatest benefits for me is to meet all of these great people and establish these intimate relationships with them and learn about who they are and learn from them but also share my experiences with them. They’re all graduating from college, thinking about grad school. They’re all in the middle of college, worrying about tests. I’ve been there, done that, I’ve sang that song a couple of times, and I’ll teach you how to remember the notes. And that’s certainly something that’s fortunately not limited to gender issues.

On Tuesday, a number of intriguing albums are going to be released, none more anticipated in the indie community than Animal Collective’s Centipede Hz. Animal Collective’s experimentation, creativity and vocal harmonies are of the sort that make Pitchfork swoon and prompt fans to hail them as “this generation’s Beach Boys,” however dubious the assertion seem. Centipede Hz is also supposed to be the longest of any Animal Collective release since their debut, so head to your local record store (or Spotify it! that’s what we do now, right?) to get ahold of that sweet psychedelia. —Evan Lyman, Music Editor

DIY: the T-Skirt

“Thank You Very Much”--and I mean that.

Recycle an old t-shirt into a wardrobe staple

by Jessica Bourque photos by Jessica Bourque

good mini-skirt is hard to beat. It’s simple, versatile, comfortable and flirty all at once. It’s also incredibly easy to make. All you need is an old t-shirt and some simple sewing supplies to make your own mini. I suggest going to a thrift store to find your tee; there, you can find endless prints and patterns to choose from. I picked a simple nautical stripe shirt for this project, but if you want more of a statement skirt, pick something with a loud print. What you need: » Old t-shirt (cotton or jersey knit works best) » A-line skirt OR homemade pattern » Scissors » Sewing machine OR sewing needle and thread » Pins Step 1: Pin Take your T-shirt and lay it out on a flat surface. Place either your pattern or your mini skirt on top of the shirt; the skirt should be an A-line mini. Pin the skirt to the shirt. Step 2: Cut Cut around the skirt leaving roughly one inch of extra fabric around the edges. The extra material will account for seams and allow you some error room when sewing. Step 3: Re-pin Once the material is cut, un-pin the fabric from your original skirt. Then, align your two newly cut pieces of fabric so that the right sides are facing each other; essentially, turn your fabric inside out. Once the pieces are aligned, pin them together along both the right and left sides. Step 4: Sew Using either a sewing machine or a needle and thread, sew along the same sides you pinned, removing the pins as you go. If you are sewing by hand, make sure to keep your stitches small and close together. For both machine and hand sewers, it’s a good idea to sew the seam twice; the reinforced seams will ensure no ripping or unraveling when you go to wear it. Once you finish sewing, turn the finished skirt right side out. Slip it on to make sure it fits and make any necessary adjustments. Feel free to add embellishments to make the skirt your own. All that’s left is to wear it out and revel in all the compliments you’re sure to get.
