ANWEN PARROTT
Throughout the past few years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced a few ongoing, existential debates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what should I do with my life? What does being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good personâ&#x20AC;? really mean? What flavor of Ben and Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the best? None of these questions have occurred, however, with a frequency that matches my internal conflict regarding the carnivorous diet I have chosen to adopt. For six years, I was a strict vegetarian and though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially label myself as one today, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to eat a vegetarian diet whenever is practical, which is about 95 percent of the time. As is the case with most non-meateaters, this decision (that I have, admittedly, wavered on) was initially driven by the dramatic environmental impact produced by the consumption of meat, along with general concern for the wellbeing of animals. Statistics regarding the American meat industry are so staggering they seem forged: by most estimates, the carbon footprint created by a single cow is comparable to driving 8,000 miles in a car, and over 20 percent of beef intended for consumption is wasted. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to pose as an expert when that is clearly not the case; I know a tiny amount about the mass production of meat, but the fact that the industry relies on a broken, wasteful and often cruel system is clear. It seems that a better alternative lies in a meat-free lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and yet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struggled to adopt that simple of a solution for on a global scale, such a large part of culture and tradition is rooted in meat. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent this past week in Argentina, a country in which the preparation and consumption of beef is undeniably integral to social life. Instead of going to a restaurant to catch up with friends, families in Argentina opt to host an asado (which is essentially a barbeque featuring a large slab of beef, often prepared in an oven specifically designed for the task). The method of asado preparation is passed down throughout families like a tradition and the meal itself is commonly shared with others, representing friendship and togetherness. The ethics of consuming meat weigh heavily on me, but the elimination of something like an asado seems culturally insensitive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how to consolidate my desires to remain socially, environmentally and culturally conscious; as I get older, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping this will make more sense.

UNITED WAY
is an organization focused on helping the community by providing fundraising and support. United Way has extended to over 1,400 communities worldwide, including branches in Canada and India. This week the organization is focusing on their ‘Day of Action’, a day dedicated to helping the community and making real change. Over 300 communities are participating in this Day of Action, including United Way of Champaign County. Mary Noel Stefan is the Associate Director of Community Engagement, and has been working with United Way for four years. Buzz got the chance to discuss the role of United Way in our local community, and the Children’s Book Drive they are hosting today for Day of Action. »buzz: How did United Way start? »Stefan: United way actually started back in 1923 in Champaign-Urbana as a community chest, with a nation-wide movement to centralize fundraising for all of the different nonprofits in our community. United Way in general started in Denver, Colorado in the late 1800’s. In Champaign we’ve been around for a long time, we’ve gone through a lot of changes. But
4 buzz June 26 - July 2, 2015
we just celebrated our 91st year so I’m really excited to be part of this organization. »buzz: What is the purpose of United Way? »Stefan: Well, our purpose has changed over the years. Currently our big role is bringing people and resources together. So through that we make grants-that’s the largest portion of our work, grant-making to local non-profits. But we also do community change work, by sitting on committees and listening, and really digging in to what’s going on in our community and trying to impact areas that we might feel there’s some gaps in services where people need help. »buzz: Can you tell me more about the Day of Action? »Stefan: It is a new event for us this year; it’s a national United Way movement to get people out and volunteering to make change in the community on one day and to really have a big impact on that day. So we’ve decided to do a children’s book drive, Friday the 26th. It’s a really big thing for us; it’ll be here at the office 404 West Church Street in downtown Champaign. We’ll be collecting children’s books, board books all the way through young adult novels to distribute to our funded partners.
»buzz: How did you prepare for the Children’s Book Drive? »Stefan: We have lots of businesses that partner with United Way for fundraising drives every year, so we’ve reached out to those businesses and a lot of them are on board and they’re holding book drives within their offices. But we’ve also reached out to the community as a whole to say ‘maybe you can clean out your bookshelves or visit a garage sale and pick up a few children’s books, or something that you might have in your home that you aren’t using anymore and donate’. So that’s really what we’re encouraging people to do. »buzz: How can people get more involved with United Way? »Stefan: We have volunteer positions available, we’ve got some committees and things like that people can get involved with, but we really encourage people to get involved at their workplace. If they work at a company that’s a United Way partner, you can get on the committee for the United Way campaign. But also you can visit cuvolunteer.org, and if we have volunteer opportunities at United Way we’ll be posting on there.
»buzz: What else do we need to know about the Children’s Book Drive? »Stefan: We’re really hoping to collect over a thousand books, at least, at the Day of Action. We’ve had quite a few requests for books from our non-profit partners, and we really want to help prevent summer learning loss. That’s the big message from us, is that reading over the summer for young kids is really important and it helps keep all of our kids on track, so when they go back to school in the fall they are ready to learn and they haven’t lost very much of what they ended the school year with in terms of knowledge. We know that summer learning loss can compound year over year, so by giving kids books at an early age and starting to read in the summertime when kids are young we can have a really positive effect on children’s education. To participate in today’s Day of Action, donate children’s books to United Way of Champaign County at their office at 404 W. Church Street, Champaign.

IF
you were to see Malcolm Adekanbi walking down the street with his trio of self-proclaimed nerds, the first word that would come to mind is “clashing.” The dude rocks a gold chain over a loud printed button down that’s tucked into MC Hammer pants with colorful socks poking out of his Fire Red 3’s, toped off by his flattop that went out of style over 15 years ago. That’s kind of the point – while that outfit screams “fashion police come rn” by today’s standards, Malcolm isn’t concerned with current trends, instead devoting his entire persona, tastes, and image to the hip hop culture of the 90s. He looks like a peacock roaming the streets of Inglewood, a eyesore never more apparent than when he interacts with the current King of New York, A$AP Rocky, whose drug dealing character Dom is clad in the same all black modern cut threads that the rapper rocks in real life. Their conversations look like a modern riff off of Bill and Ted, a time traveling teen coming from the past to inform the wack looks of today of what they’re missing out on. Dom pokes holes in Malcolm’s 90s devotion, but the haters can’t touch him behind the self-built arrogant walls that contain his persona. To be fair, Malcolm has reason to be confident, a straight A student with Harvard aspirations. Those dreams begin to deteriorate before his
eyes though when he attends Dom’s birthday party, hoping to hit it off with the beautiful Nakia, a former flame of Dom’s. The party ends in a shootout, with Dom arrested by the police after having stashed enough molly in Malcolm’s backpack to get an entire music festival rolling face. The elevator pitch for the rest of the movie would be, no joke, “Nerdy black kid has to sell drugs so that he can get a good letter of rec for Harvard.” While Malcolm is obviously terrified, it’s not all bad for him – after leaving the party Nakia drives him home and is charmed by his adorable clothes and general innocence, telling him, “You aren’t like these other ni**as.” She’s right, but in order to survive throughout the movie, Malcolm has to shed that innocence and embrace his surroundings more than he ever has in the past, inching him closer and closer towards being one of those “other ni**as” that Nakia casually dismisses. It’s in that forced assimilation where Dope’s higher intellect is made apparent underneath all the joy and comedy that prevails throughout the film, creating an end product that is cautiously triumphant, and electrically enjoyable. Hip-hop culture and music has never been a larger part of the mainstream than it is right now, to the point where even a white suburban kid like me that used to listen exclusively to Green Day now holds his
breath waiting for Young Thug to actually drop a real album. Dope is hyper-aware of this white enthusiasm for hip-hop and even uses it to deliver the first huge laugh of the film – the narrator explains that Malcolm gets bullied in school for being into “White Shit” like Manga Comics and Donald Glover (plz god let that Gambino diss have been Rocky’s idea, nothing in the world would be funnier.) It’s also played off of by Workaholics’ Blake Anderson, who plays a loveable hacker that doesn’t get why he can’t use the word ni**a. He eventually gets slapped across the face for saying it by Diggy, the black lesbian chick who’s a part of Malcom’s nerd crew. When he gets upset she says sorry man, I had too: “principals.” Dope delights in its comedy in the face of things that usually require a more serious touch, even using it to discuss the killings that occur everyday in Inglewood. The real tragedy isn’t death here, it’s that a kid was shot right as he was about to the beat the final level of a video game. The violence of their neighborhood isn’t the focus of this movie the way others about the hoods in LA have been. It’s dismissal of it almost feels overly casual until the films climax, in which director/writer Rick Famuyiwa allows you to finally understand what he’s trying to say about life in Inglewood, the place where he grew up. The persona and arrogance that Malcolm has cultivated isn’t out of a sense
of superiority, but rather one of helplessness. His obsession with the 90s and devotion to his studies are part of the walls he’s built up, not so that he can sit on an intellectual tower within them, but instead so that he doesn’t have to exist in the violence that surrounds him. When he is forced into that violence by the drugs he has to deal, it scars him deeply. When he brandishes a gun in order to keep the drug money that will ensure his acceptance into Harvard, his hand shakes as though he was being shocked. He succeeds, but loses a part of his innocence in the process. The thing is though that maybe it’s for the best. In no other film could dealing drugs be the best path for a kid to grow up, but that’s exactly what happens in Dope. Malcolm learns that sometimes you have to shave off the flattop in order to become who you really are, that hiding behind his obsessions can’t save him from the reality of his surroundings forever. This film is a mirror of Boyz n the Hood – instead of being pulled down and ruined by Inglewood, Malcolm stares the violence in the face, acknowledges it, and then turns his back to it. Dope is a light of blinding optimism - culture, music and comedy beating back the darkness of the streets. It’s a dream that might not always be attainable, but is a joy to watch play out in Famuyiwa’s hilarious and brilliant film.

AFTER
testing the waters with a brief soft opening, restaurant owner Ramin Karimkapour and chef Marco Fornelli officially opened the doors to Pizzeria Antica on Thursday, June 18. Situated snugly in the heart of downtown Champaign at 10 Chester Street, the pizzeria boasts a pair of cherry red wood fired ovens transported straight from Naples. Reaching a capacity of 800 degrees, the special ovens greatly expedite the cooking process, churning out twelve inch Neapolitan-style personal pies every 90 seconds and slashing the ordering process time to a mere three to four minutes. Furthermore, hungry patrons can peruse a vegetarian and vegan friendly menu that features 13 types of traditional pizzas with various ingredients imported from Italy. So far the most popular menu item has been the Margarita pizza. In addition to pizzas, the restaurant currently offers a number of salads and antipastos, and plans to install a gelataria called “Bella Ciao” that will serve gelato as well as Italian coffees and liqueurs by the end of the month. By
6 buzz June 26 - July 2, 2015
coordinating with Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery, Karimkapour hopes to offer unique goat’s milk gelato but also plans to have 16 conventional flavors including pistachio and raspberry. Operating from 11 a.m to 9 p.m. or until the store runs out of dough, Pizzeria Antica appears to be an authentic new addition to Champaign Urbana’s flourishing food scene. The Food & Drink staff’s Madeline Decker provides a first-hand review below. Will Pizzeria Antica make its mark in downtown Champaign? Perhaps it’s too early to say. On the new eatery’s opening night, I visited to check out the ambience and cuisine. Call me a romantic, but when I heard of a pizzeria opening downtown, I imagined a cozy, dimly-lit dining room with a blazing fire, exposed brick walls and rustic, old-style charm. Aside from exposed brick walls, the restaurant’s interior had an entirely different vibe from what I expected. With high ceilings, an open kitchen and piles of firewood lining the walls, Pizzeria Antica channels a more modern, industrial feel. Another surprise
was the casual atmosphere. After my party and I ordered our food at the front of the restaurant, we seated ourselves at a table where parchment paper squares were provided in place of plates and silverware. The pizzeria serves Neapolitanstyle pizzas, which, at twelve inches in diameter and about $10.00-$15.00 each, are enough to feed one or two people. I ordered the Margherita pizza, topped with tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil. The thin crust had great bite to it, and the light char from the oven gave it a subtle smoky flavor. Finished off with fresh ingredients, the pizza loaded vibrant flavor without feeling heavy. Another member of my party ordered the Diavola pizza, a pie topped with mozzarella and salami that has a nice kick to it courtesy of red pepper oil. The Diavolo was presented attractively with a garnish of arugula and parmesan shavings. With toppings heavier than the thin crust, the pizza slices were difficult to handle and somewhat messy with only napkins and parchment paper. Plates and utensils would have made the experi-
ence neater and slightly more pleasant. Aside from pizza, the menu offers salads and antipasti platters, as well as wine and soft drinks. Wine can only be purchased by the bottle but can be resealed on site. Overall I was pleased with my experience at Pizzeria Antica, but I felt it needed something more to make it memorable. For the price scale, I would have liked more than good pizza with quality ingredients—I would have liked to feel like I had been transported to a pizzeria in Italy, not just by the flavors, but also by the atmosphere. While the ambience through me for a bit of a loop, who knows—maybe people with dig the funky contrast of rustic Italian food in a casual, modern atmosphere. With a promised gelateria and coffee bar opening soon, I think Pizzeria Antica has a chance to find its niche in Champaign-Urbana. I’d like to visit again once the restaurant gets into the swing of things to see how it evolves (and maybe try some of that gelato). Il meglio deve ancora venire. The best is yet to come.

AHEAD
of their show this Sunday at Error Records, local punk band Total Asshole sat down with buzz to discuss the story of the band, their recent deal with Heirship Records and what it really means to be an asshole. »buzz: First of all, I’ve got to ask about the band name. What’s the story on that? »Jack Maples: It’s just funny, really. In high school and college I used to always come up with funny recording project ideas and maybe record a few demos alone in my room or with friends for one before moving on to a new idea. A punk band called “Total Asshole” that centers around being a big jerk and being comically disinterested in the well-being of others seemed like an opportunity for fun. A few years later I had some of these goofy demos to share for this particular idea when some guys wanted to start a
band with me, so we just created this band since the concept was already concretely established. »buzz: What are your respective musical backgrounds? Did you guys play in any bands before Total Asshole? »Jake Metz: Classical/jazz guitar and acapella vocal choir as a lad. Lewd-acoustic duo during teens and college. Psychedelic blues trio Love Toy circa 2011-13. Also, synthesizers. »Maples: Mostly just a life of cycling shortlived goofy home recording projects covering all types of genres, but also a lot of jamming with roommates and friends in college, and briefly a pop-punk concept band about an alternate reality where the nation is ruled by kids. »Dillon Cogan: Screams of Winter (the early days)! »buzz: When and how did you guys come to-
gether to form Total Asshole? »Maples: Three songs were written and recorded just by myself as ugly demos in 2012. A year later they were rerecorded when I was playing them with a friend in my basement a lot. Another year later I was living in a new place and was into starting a band with a roommate and friend. This material was available and we found a drummer that was an old friend of mine. »buzz: What kind of experience do you want people to have at one of your shows? »Metz: Chuggin’, Pumpin’, Goofin’, Spoofin’. »Maples: I want people to feel a certain degree of confusion for sure, and to feel like they have stepped a little bit outside of their comfort zone. They should be uncertain if I am serious about the things I scream at them and if it’s “me” on stage
or a character. So much of the project is performance art, and the “asshole” has largely become a character that I act out on stage. It’s not 100% commitment to the character live, though (thank God), so when elements of me as a genuine guy pop out, suddenly there’s this interesting tension between me as a normal human performing music and hoping they’re having a good time, and the “asshole” as a character acting out this strange angry tantrum and not caring how anybody is feeling. I have a huge admiration for artists that move their performances past just an opportunity to play their songs. It’s exciting to not just go to a show to hear music but specifically to watch this performance unfold as a coherent narrative or concept. Alice Cooper’s shock rock freaking people out in old archived concerts I’ve watched June 26 - July 2, 2015 buzz 7
086,& has definitely been one of the many inspirations for our live performances (I’ve had discussions with friends about acquiring a live snake to crawl around my neck during a show), and I want to bring some of those types of theatrics to a lot of the music I perform, and develop my skills as an actor/performer. Jake and I also play in jorts, which is an even bigger opportunity for us to build interactive “spaceship consoles” and sell an unsettling sci-fi story about alien invasion and cultural infiltration while we dance around in haz-mat suits and sing catchy synth-pop songs about how we’re going to take over the world and possibly force humanity into submission. »buzz: What’s coming up in the future for the band? »Maples: We’ve got an album we recorded in January. [We’re] not in a rush to get it in people’s hands before it’s ready, so we’re moving forward with those plans slow and steady. The project was originally envisioned from the start as a rock opera though. The rock opera story informed the songwriting from the beginning. Each song is essentially a scene in the narrative arc that tells the “asshole’s” story, and from the first show on June 28, 2014, the setlist has been the chronological order of the rock opera. Originally, the plan was to film this as a feature film (Jake, Jack, and their roommate Kevin all work in media production and video stuff), but the visual project has since been reconceptualized as a series of music videos with narrative segues for the album. Plans are to have a release of the
JONE SIN’
by Matt Jones
entire (30-35 minutes or so) music video punk rock opera at some point by the end of the year or early next year when the record is ready, and give the project to the world in one multimedia package. »buzz: How did your deal with Heirship records come about? »Maples: Isaac is a cool guy and a great friend, but more importantly, he cares deeply about the local music scene (and music at large), and tries really hard to do everything he can to make it better for artists and showgoers around here. We showed him some of the recordings a while ago and talked about all of the wacky plans we had for this project and he loved how far out some of the ideas we had were (we’ve got hours of spitballs recorded for plans for the concept that people will never get to see realized) and really wanted to just help us realize some of these goals that would have been difficult to pull off on our own with all of the other plates we are spinning in our lives. »buzz: When was the last time you were a total asshole to someone? »Maples: I don’t know. I think what I’ve learned from the “asshole” character is that the biggest element of being an asshole is to never have the social awareness that something you are saying or doing could potentially be threatening or hurtful to the people around you.

The gallery, open Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. until August 6, contains the work of 56 selected artists from surrounding counties and truly reflects the community’s wide range of individuality and talent. Picking which artists to present was no easy task, though the end product contains an impressive selection of awe-inspiring pieces. Aron Packer, director of Packer-Schopf Gallery in the West Loop district in Chicago, served as a judge for the showcase and had to choose from 111 artists, who submitted 3 pieces of work each. “It’s a joy to dissect and choose work for a show,”
says Packer, who has been working with contemporary and folk art for over 25 years, “I don’t have control over who enters, so it’s always a mystery and pleasure to scroll through the entries!” When asked how he came to his decisions, Packer said, “I choose work that represents me as a curator—[it’s] subjective… but I also choose work that is representative of what was sent in. [That part] is objective. I like to think these are not mutually exclusive. Coming out with a well-rounded final cut is a balancing act.” Countless innovative perspectives are represented in this exhibition. “Regarding subject matter, it’s mostly serious, with a few humorous pieces here and there,” Packer said. Some of the artists have never shown their work in a professional gallery before, some have. But one thing they all seem to have in common is an appreciation for sharing their work with other artists in their own community. Gallery Director Lisa Costello notes, “Visitors will recognize their neighbors, family, and friends.
We have a nice mix of Parkland Alumni, University folks, and other professional artists.” Costello is an Illinois alumnus and currently teaches courses at Parkland in addition to running the gallery. She adds, “My favorite part about the show is getting to meet a lot of the artists in our area. There are a lot of talented people in our community and it was nice to put a face to the artwork!” Walking around the gallery, viewers will notice the art seems to leap off the walls and come to life. You can almost hear the melodies to which the painted dancers twirl, almost taste the salty waves sleepily shifting along the shore. Each artist’s passion radiates off of his or her piece, creating a wonderful ambience in the gallery. “There were many quality works submitted, but there is only so much room in the gallery,” Costello remarks, “[Packer] had to make some difficult choices.” However, in engaging with the artwork Packer has chosen, viewers can tell that he has—what he calls in his own words—“a heavy leaning for
color and a tendency towards surrealism.” There are drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, fibers, mixed media—all fantastically vibrant and each one incredibly unique. One such artwork even contained materials including bone, antler, hoof, sticks, walnuts and dowels! “I think what makes the art so impressive is the variety, quality and definitely a sense of experimentation. Many of the artists who brought in their work shared with me that they had tried something new in the work that was accepted into the show,” said Costello. Visiting the gallery is a great way to support our community’s artists, creators of extraordinarily evocative art that truly demonstrate the intricate imaginations humans possess.
