2 buzz September 20-26, 2013

We’re fully entrenched in the whirlwind month of September, a month of great change, movement and beauty. The semester is in full swing, the leaves have begun to fall, the weather has cooled off (slightly), and Champaign-Urbana overall gives off a more lively and exciting atmosphere. Even though I’m still (ever so slowly) adjusting to the busier workload, the numerous fantastic aspects of September give it a solid case for “best month of the year� honors.

For one, September signals the beginning of fall, which has become my favorite season over the years. The slight chill in the air, the welcome breeze, and those aforementioned falling leaves make the outside more welcoming. You can go outside without sweating through your favorite tee and burning your skin off. Studies show that spending time in nature boosts creativity, making the welcoming fall climate perfect for improving your writing or artistic pursuits.

September also signals the beginning of football season, and all the traditions that come along with it. Weekends become wall-to-wall marathons of gridiron glory, with high school games on Fridays, college on Saturdays and the king of them all, the NFL on Sundays. While nothing beats a trip to Soldier Field to cheer on the Bears against a hated NFC North rival, you can’t go wrong just sitting on the couch all day with your favorite snacks, taking in the action. Most importantly, there’s never more hope for your favorite team than there is during the first month of the season, before disappointment has a chance to set in.

Another reason I personally love this month has to do with my own birthday taking place on September 23. It’s obviously a highlight of my year for that reason, but there’s also an oddly high number of September birthdays within my extended family that make this month one of celebration from beginning to end. It seems every weekend, someone close to me is getting a cake and presents, and that’s always a good time.

Since I’ve been in CU, I’ve had one more reason to be excited for September, and that’s Pygmalion Music Festival. Each year, some of the best and biggest indie bands head down to take over Champaign-Urbana and provide a weekend full of incredible performances. Last year was a particularly amazing lineup and I’m excited to see if this year’s group can top it.

And that’s not all. September means that our biggest issue, Best of CU, is right around the corner, along with Halloween, Thanksgiving and plenty of other awesome things to look forward to.

No wonder Earth, Wind & Fire loved this month so much.

All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho

LIKE CITY ON THE BRINK

BY KRYSTYNE JONES The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) will be hosting an event entitled City on the Brink to help shed light on the issue of gun violence.

Every day, someone’s life is either lost or changed dramatically due to gun violence or gang related crimes. Chicago has gained national attention for its murder rates, and NABJ is taking the next step to spreading awareness by informing the residents of the CU area.

The event will consist of a variety of panelists such as ABC 7 news reporter Evelyn Holmes, Alderman Walter Burnett of Chicago 27 Ward, Deputy Director of the Chicago Police Department Crime Victims Assistance Program, Ronald Holt and Nathaniel and Cleopatria Pendleton. The Holt and Pendleton families were changed forever when Ronald’s son Blair Holt was killed on a bus in 2007, and the Pendleton’s daughter, Hadiya, was killed in a park in 2013. The members of NABJ want this event to bring forth a real change in both the Chicago and Champaign communities, in better hopes that more people will get involved in the fight against gun violence.

City on the Brink will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on September 25 in the Illini Union Ballroom. The event is free and is open to those of all ages. Be sure to look for flyers on and off campus, and spread the word about City on the Brink to all your friends and family. Not only can this discussion inform residents about the things that take place in the community, it can be that spark that helps people change their community for the better.

» The R2-D2 Theory: At the end of Return of the Sith, Bail Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda start the Rebel Alliance.

Organa has C3PO’s memory wiped, but not R2-D2’s memory: thanks in large part to R2’s more reserved demeanor, close personal ties to both Palpatine and Vader, and hacking abilities, he becomes the first recruit of the new rebellion and a top field agent. R2 travels with Senator Organa, passing messages among seditionist sympathizers and gathering intelligence through his hacking skills, all the while 3PO provides the perfect cover, his clueless front man. Basically, R2 spends the twenty something years before A New Hope helping Organa and Kenobi orchestrate the downfall of the Galactic Empire.

Chewbacca is also in on the whole scheme (he became besties with Yoda during their time together in the Clone Wars), and Han Solo is unwittingly acting as his front man. Chewie can travel the whole galaxy, passing supplies and information between rebel forces while Han simply thinks they are smuggling Kesselian spices or whatever. Unfortunately, I can’t take credit for this genius idea, but you should totally google the R2-D2 theory and see how the plot of A New Hope is all a part of this plan nearly getting derailed when the Death Star shows up. Other highlights I want to mention: Obi-Wan’s cryptic “I don’t seem to recall ever owning a droid” is a snide little “shut the fuck up” to R2, Chewie and R2 are merely playing the most recent game in a long series of stopmotion chess matches on board the Millenium Falcon, and both are also aware Luke and Leia are siblings yet have to watch in silent horror as they get all mushy.

» Anxiety induced by Breaking Bad: I’m not really stating anything that hasn’t already been stated by the entire blogosphere, but last Sunday’s episode of Breaking Bad may very well be the greatest episode of television, period. At the very least, it is definitely the best episode of television I’ve ever watched. Though all praise aside, I need a Xanax or something now. I was pulling out my hair throughout the entire episode, and I needed to pause the show to grab my asthma inhaler. Never have I ever been so affected by a television show. Obviously, I’m sparing the details so I don’t spoil anything for viewers who aren’t caught up with the show yet. But just know that it was an amazing episode of an amazing television show and I will never ever be the same.

eturning back to school and its gaping bag of looming responsibilities is rough. With summer having passed just around the bend, many can still feel the lingering air of leisure at their fingertips. However, with September nearly gone, any chance of this sensation is fleeting. But don’t distress! If you’re in need of living vicariously through your television set, take a gander at the films and series below for some quick comfort. Take a study break you champion, you deserve it.

Billy Madison: No movie says “back to school” quite like Billy Madison, one of Adam Sandler’s funniest, most original movies, which is about a man who must make up for his lack of education by going back to school, spending two weeks in each grade starting with kindergarten. Sandler is at his best when he’s playing a man-child so his zany brand of humor is suited perfectly to the story. From jokes about peeing your pants to burning bags of feces on people’s doorsteps, the movie is idiotic and immature but a whole lot of fun and a great diversion from your own schoolwork.

— David Robertson Easy A: Packed with quotable, razor-sharp dialogue, a relatable story and characters, and topnotch performances, Easy A earns an ‘A’ as one

of the best back-to-school movies. Emma Stone is irresistible as Olive, a high school student who tells a little lie about sex that unintentionally finds its way to Jesus freak Marianne. Olive soon becomes the center of the school’s gossip and hatches a plan to dress and act how people falsely perceive her in order to make a statement. The supporting cast, including Patricia Arquette, Aly Michalka, and Amanda Bynes, is hilarious and on point as well. The movie brings The Scarlet Letter, a literary staple in American high schools, to life in a witty, refreshing way and rivals some of the greatest teen comedies such as Sixteen Candles and Clueless.

— David Robertson New Girl: Summer may be over, but it’s never too late to binge on your favorite shows. Now that we are starting to feel the crisp breeze in the air, I say it’s time to cuddle up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate, and fall in love with TV’s “adorkable” sensation, New Girl. With only two seasons aired, it won’t take long to gobble up Jessica Day’s big doe eyes, iconic bangs, and wonderfully awkward phrases. Her three roommates Nick, Schmidt, and Winston only accentuate the madness that Jess concocts. Despite the strange situations they often find themselves

in — such as Nick’s unexplainable and slightly disturbing bond with an elderly man who never speaks — you can’t help but hope that that you one day find yourself rooming with these four weirdos. If not, consider the Jessica Day haircut.

— Michele Popdich Monsters University: For the kid inside us all, Monsters University conjures that nostalgic freshman innocence and naivety, gearing us up for yet another year. It portrays those all too familiar personalities of campus-town: the frat boys, the sorority stars, the do-nothing-but-still-manageto-succeed students, and the over achievers.

These are the faces of campus that we all know, but through the lenses of the lovable monsters of Mike and Sully in their earlier years. While this may be considered a kids flick, it’s hard to resist a movie that stirs up the nerves and excitement of starting a new year of school — joining new clubs, trying and failing to start the year right by studying from the get-go, and being terrified by at least one professor (Sorry, nothing compares to a Dean in the form of some weird flying, centipede, alien thing). But before everything gets too busy, let’s refresh those childhood memories we shared with Pixar.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A ZOO IN CU

Local Improv Troupe Gets Funny JASMYNE MONACO

Z

oo Improv is a local nonprofit comedy improv troupe whose mission is simply artistic and educationally motivated and whose diverse members reside in the community. The 8-yearold group was originally created by an acting teacher in the area to help students, and eventually evolved into a group of community members with an undying love for improv.

Cara Maruizi, troupe member and Urbana music, drama and dance teacher, is one of the five core troupe members who has been with the group since 2004. Maruizi categorized their performance as long form, describing how all of the themes and characters are different and the scenes become cohesive kind of like a play. She said they usually get a suggestion word or phrase from the audience and improvise themes based off of that. Whether the troupe goes off of one suggestion, multiple or games, every scene is based on something and the characters or the scenes before they curate the rest.

"We all have different backgrounds and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all there for different reasons, so we all bring a different perspective to things,â&#x20AC;? Maruizi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The age range is from 20 to 65, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all different characters and

sensitivity to humor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really great that it blends together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it makes it very interesting and fun.â&#x20AC;?

Maruizi explained that while there are a lot of troupes on campus, Zoo Improv is unique for the fact that they are all community members. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dynamic includes several teachers, a few social workers and a couple of news personalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge so I feel we all love it. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like work. You go there because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a creative relief,â&#x20AC;? Maruizi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very welcoming group and we try to keep the shows at a PG-13 level so people can bring family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee they are clean."

Every Friday night starting at 8 p.m. Zoo Improv performs at SoDo Theatre in Champaign alongside a guest troupe. Because the improv community is very supportive of each other and so close knit, Zoo Improv keeps communication open and fills up the calendar by having other groups join them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even really big names â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are all really humble and nice,â&#x20AC;? said Maruizi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had some heavy hitters come and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always crazy to think that they will come and perform with us.â&#x20AC;?

Among the heavy hitters, Maruizi mentioned Mark Sutton from Bassprov, Second City teacher Jay Su-

kow and TJ & Dave from Chicago Improv.

The group recognizes the value of hosting workshops and keeping improv alive in the community.

Maruizi said the group has found that people have really become aware of improv and take it up for different reasons. She listed examples such as wanting to get better at oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job, gaining listening and communication skills, television camera skills and just as an outlet to loosen up and let things go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting in improv is that it helps improve improvising in elements of life," Maruizi said. "Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a saying in improv: accept whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to you and build upon it.

In improv you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the

concept of letting go and willing to put yourself out there."

Along with workshops and booked performances, Zoo Improv has hosted C-U Improv Festival since 2009. This year, the 5th Annual C-U Improv festival will be held on November 16.

For a long time the group was only performing once a month and Maruizi expressed that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great to have shows every week.

Maruizi said improv rehearsals are like running drills for basketball practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just practicing your skills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dribbling, shooting, defense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then you just show up and put it all in the game and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the outcome.â&#x20AC;?

hat you can’t find in downtown Urbana almost certainly rests in Champaign.

We’d give you the bar per block frequency if we weren’t so busy buyin’ the booze inside. No matter what night you’re free, there’s a deal and an atmosphere for fraternizing over delicious drinks and food, too.

What: Destihl Where: 301 N. Neil St, Champaign When: Monday-Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Extended hours Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. »Atmosphere: When you think of Destihl, think contemporary industrial meets luxury. Its lofted ceilings and rough-around-the-edges bar and brewery areas are perfectly balanced with spacious, comfortable booths and cozy tables. The service is timely all while never making you feel rushed. Partners with local produce and dairy marketers, Destihl’s dishes are quality, fresh and unique. The well-lit restaurant boasts tasteful décor and in the center of the bar, a huge focal point: brewing machinery. All beers are brewed in house and have recently been purchased for distribution by a number of Chicago restaurants. This is the perfect place to come if you’re looking for a bite to eat with a cool, urban feel. »Busiest Days: Saturdays and Fridays »Quietest Days: Mondays »Best Deals: Technically drink specials aren’t offered very often, but there are 4 oz. glasses of beer for $1.25, giving patrons the opportunity to create an inexpensive flight that’s completely their own. » Most Popular: Champaign Blonde »Best non-drink item: A crowd favorite is the stuffed poblano peppers served with ancho rice and beans with a roasted red pepper sauce.

6 buzz September 20-26, 2013

What: Seven Saints Where: 32 E. Chester St., Champaign When: 11-2 a.m. daily »Atmosphere: With its dark lighting, rustic wooden booths, velvet drapes, ornate carvings and extravagant décor, Seven Saints is a sleek, slightly modernized, yet cozy local bar with an impressive array of liquors, wines and drafts.

On a typical Friday or Saturday night, the bar is filled to the brim, packed with students and locals chatting under the dim light; it gets noisy and expect a wait of 15-20 minutes for a table. The bartenders are experienced, friendly and give solid drink recommendations. On top of a prime drink selection, Seven Saints offers delicious, classic bar food. From the country fried chicken salad to their signature sliders, it’s one of the top places in Champaign to grab some dinner with your friends and chill out. »Busiest Days: Wednesday, Friday and Saturday »Quietest Days: Monday »Best Deals: Wine Mondays, half off all wine bottles. Tuesday Brewsday, half off all drafts.

Whiskey Wednesdays, half price off any whiskey »Most Popular: Whiskey, for their impressive and extensive selection »Best non-drink item: Cheese curds and Bavarian pretzels. The cheese curds are fried to perfection and ooze out all over your plate. The pretzels are giant and buttery and are served with jalapeno cheese sauce and Boulevard Pale Ale Mustard.

— Amirah Zaveri What: Emerald City Lounge Where: 118 N. First St., Champaign When: Tuesday-Saturday 5 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.; Sundays 10–2 a.m. »Atmosphere: Classy and chic, the unassuming brick exterior doesn’t do any justice to the decked out bar inside. Although the bar got its name by happily and intentionally adopting the “friend of Dorothy” euphemism from the forties, Emerald

City isn’t just a gay bar. It’s a swanky, all-inclusive, drama-free scene that is a great place for large crowds and serves up delicious, deceptively strong drinks. »Busiest Days: Fridays and Saturday nights, there’s a weekly drag show on Saturdays. »Quietest Days: Weeknights »Best Deals: They have $2 draft beers and most shelf liquors clock in at $5. Fridays have $2 UCall-It well cocktails. Don’t miss out on their $2 Long Island iced teas. »Most Popular: Their decadent Good Witch martini; you can’t go wrong with vanilla vodka, rumchata and Frangelico. »Best non-drink item: An awesome brunch spread on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a Tuesday taco buffet from 5-9 p.m.

— Jasmine Lee What: Jupiter’s Pizzeria & Billiards Where: 39 Main St., Champaign When: 11-2 a.m. daily »Atmosphere: The tables and booths, along with the the brick walls, create the traditional pizzeria setting, while the giant flat screen TVs and six billiard tables make for the classic sports bar feel. The environment is laidback, and the service isn’t very speedy. Because of the constant noise coming from the TVs, cheering fans and billiards games in progress, as well as the nonchalant attitudes of the servers, it’s the perfect place to hangout with a group of friends. »Busiest Days: Tuesdays »Quietest Days: Mondays and Wednesdays »Best Deals: Half price large pizzas on Wednesdays and half price Miller Lites on Tuesdays. Large pizzas are only $10 on Fridays and Saturdays after 10 p.m. »Most Popular Drink: Craft Beers »Best Non-Drink Item: Specialty pizzas and grinders.

— Leila Shinn What: The Blind Pig Company Where: 120 N. Walnut St., Champaign When: 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily »Atmosphere: If your grandfather was wealthy enough to have a tavern, this might be its rustic yet hip counterpart. A bit on the dimly lit side, the “Big Pig” appeals to those looking for an intimate place perfect for an intense intellectual conversation. The pub-like ambience seems fitting for the unsung geniuses looking for a well done beer on tap. Strung up with Christmas lights year round and hosting a row of beer bottles atop every roof riser, The Big Pig seems less rowdy and relaxed.

The patronage seem thirsty for decent conversation with friends rather than an all-hours, fist pumpin’ party. Those led to the Big Pig might find solace in its lovable “lived-in” feel perfect for the hipster at home or at heart. »Busiest Days: Wednesdays during their drink specials, Friday and Saturday »Quietest Days: Happy hours from Sunday until Tuesday »Best Deals: Bartender Stacey recommends the Mini-Tap Takeovers on Wednesday, consider-

ing that the Blind Pig Co. was rated 26th in the country for its unprecedented 27 draft beers. The bar will feature a different specialty tap every Wednesday at a discounted price. »Most Popular: IPA seems a crowd favorite, but Big Pig also carries local Illinois beers like 5 Rabbits. »Best non-drink item:This is a drink-only bar, besides the standard pretzels and nuts. While the Blind Pig Company doesn’t offer food, the bar does encourage patrons to order in and even provides menus for nearby restaurants.

— Sherry Yuan What: Memphis on Main Where: 55 E. Main St., Champaign When: 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily »Atmosphere: Located on a quiet street in downtown Champaign and owned by a young husband and wife, Memphis on Main prides itself on creating an inviting, fun environment that appeals to the whole community.

For a more relaxed, alternative or indie band, you’ll find bar goers nestled into the dimly lit booths, or in larger groups at tables sipping on drinks, enjoying the music and good company. On a night when a DJ plays, the scene instantly transforms into a fast paced, almost club-like environment. You’ll find the floors packed with hundreds of people dancing and partying. The crowds drawn to the High Dive are as diverse as the music. Guests old and young alike can enjoy themselves here. The dimly lit room, exposed industrial piping and bare brick walls make the High Dive an eclectic

Esquire Lounge resembles the bar from well-known television show Cheers with their dimmed lighting, smooth brick walls and wood countertops. The eye automatically is attracted to the wide range of beer bottles stacked up behind the two main bars. Although the bar is 21+, you can find several U of I graduates in the area.

T

his year, the Pygmalion Music Festival is joined by the Pygmalion Made Fest and the Pygmalion Literary Festival. The Literary Festival will be held September 27 and 28 and will feature readings by Dan Chaon, Amelia Gray, James Greer and many others. A complete list of authors and the times they will be performing can be found online at www.pygmalionlitfest.com.

Finally the bookworms of CU have something to look forward to! There's plenty of time to catch up with one of your favorite writers or familiarize yourself with new writers' works. Here are reviews of three of the fest's featured authors.

Review of Stay Awake by Dan Chaon Dan Chaon knows something about darkness. In his short story collection, Stay Awake, Chaon lets us into the lives of flawed and lonely characters who are searching for meaning, trying to find a lightswitch in the middle of the night. Chaon tells the story of a recovering alcoholic who is trying to forget his past life, a widower who finds notes written everywhere and a father whose daughter is born with two heads. While these characters navigate surreal and often nightmarish circumstances, their thoughts, fears and motivations feel painfully real.

Through careful pacing and attention to character, Chaon expertly uses the extraordinary to heighten the ordinary. Each story reveals itself slowly with small events prompting memories and internal flights. By mapping out this human response to the thing that goes bump in the night, Chaon is able to show the reader something crucial about him or herself. Chaon succeeds in creating ghost stories that feel achingly human.—Maggie Su Review of Artificial Light by James Greer James Greer is a multi-talented individual whose skill set ranges from the written word to music. He is currently in a band called Détective, has written several scene plays, and also writes novels. His novel Artifical Light, which was published in 2006, contains stunning prose that drags the reader into the world of the early

90’s alternative rock scene. It deals with issues ranging from drug use to depression. The story is centered around a group of “friends,” the term being used loosely, who live in a small town in the United States. The story deals with this group’s interactions with a once popular rockstar, Kurt C. Kurt has just recently moved to Dayton, the town in which the story is set, and at first he is pretty distant from the group. However, as the novel progresses, the reader begins to see more and more of Kurt’s interactions with the group.

The story is pretty dark, and it deals with the way the protagonist justifies his actions. This novel is enjoyable and comes highly recommended.

—Will Hubbs Review of Three Cubic Feet by Lania Knight You know those books you find and flip through, thinking: “Wow, I wonder how the title fits into all this...” Well, Three Cubic Feet is an example of a novella which craftily misguides yet delivers. (No spoilers, I promise). It’s a well written bildungsroman suitable for any age group, but perhaps particularly for teenagers and young adults who struggle with identity and developing a sense of personal autonomy. From a sociocultural perspective, it is good to see a work of literary fiction challenge sexual orientation norms between teenagers, yet not rely on that difference in sexual expression to drive forward the plot entirely. The piece, though it focuses a lot on the budding romance of Theo, also calls into question what behaviors are appropriate (with and within the LGBTQIA community). In the latter half of the book, Theo states that, essentially, no one has the right to “out” anyone (as in, inform an unknowing party of another’s sexual orientation) for any reason and/or without consent. Introducing this theme to a larger (and perhaps younger) audience is crucial on a societal level, particularly because at the base, it helps to inform the public about what is ethical behavior and what is not.

Overall, to use the Roger Ebert scoring system: thumbs up.— Katrina Halfaker

BUZZ’S GUIDE TO PYGMALION MUSIC FESTIVAL: DAY 1

Get set for the first night of the fest

as Lollapalooza too expensive? Couldn’t make it to Pitchfork? Riot Fest a rainy mess? Well, if your festival itch has yet to be scratched, Pygmalion Music Festival is here to save the day – beginning this coming Thursday.

The buzz music section will be doing its best all weekend to bring you artist interviews, show reviews and recommendations. Look below for info on Thursday’s performers and keep checking

readbuzz.com for Q&As with some of our (and your) favorite performers. — Maddie Rehayem Krannert Center for the Performing Arts »7:30—8 p.m.: Damian Jurado When the acoustic moper teamed up with producer Richard Swift for 2010’s Saint Bartlett, the result was an unexpected mix of grandiose rhythm and sprawling sonic textures that transformed Jurado’s intimate melodies into catchy indie-pop

gems. The magic was replicated on 2012’s followup, Maraqopa, a diverse record of ballads, love songs, and euphoric pop that is sure to translate to an energetic live performance. — Tyler Durgan »8:15-9 p.m.: Daughter »9:30—11 p.m.: The Head and The Heart The happiest folk-pop group in Seattle returns ahead of the release of their new record, Let’s Be Still. Due in October, the new material promises to be anything but still, with lead single “Shake” showcasing their signature vocal harmonies over fresh electric guitar riffage. —Tyler Durgan Krannert Art Museum »8:15-8:45 p.m.: Emily Otnes »9:15-9:45 p.m.: The 92s He’d never say it himself in this magazine, but I’ll say it for him: buzz’s own managing editor Dan Durley would love for you to come see his folk-pop band play at Krannert Art Museum. If you liked the band’s mandolin-infused EP Void, you’ll love the new stuff on the full-length they’ve been working on recording all summer. — Maddie Rehayem »10:15-10:45 p.m.: Count This Penny »11:15-12:00 a.m.: Bones, Jugs ‘N’ Harmony Canopy Club »9:30-10 p.m.: Larry and His Flask

Folk-punk bands are a dime a dozen, but it’s not every day that you come across one much like Larry And His Flask. A barrel of fun with a bluegrass twist, these Warped Tour vets won’t hold back the pleasing vocal harmonies and the ridiculously fun banjo picking. — Maddie Rehayem »11:30 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.: Murder By Death Murder by Death return to CU where they played one of their first shows. Frontman Adam Turla’s baritone vocals layered atop an alt-country backdrop will make for a tragically beautiful night of music, proving again that Hoosiers aren’t really all that bad after all. — Sean Neumann »10:30—11:00 p.m.: The Dirty Feathers When they’re not shooting music videos of guys grooving shirtless at a dive or causing a ruckus in the Urbana house show scene, The Dirty Feathers always seem to be hitting the CU hard with psych-rock zaniness and good ol’ rock n’ roll crunchiness. With a brand spanking-new album that’s been in the works since early this year, Pygmalion should be the best opportunity to check out what the local five-piece rockers are set to consensually pleasure your eardrums with next. — Austin Gomez »12:45 a.m. — 2:00 a.m.: Warpaint

Not What Happened

U

pon walking into the Eclectic Artist Co-op in downtown Urbana, visitors are greeted by a trove of beautiful handmade treasures, from paintings to jewelry and pottery to pipe cleaner statues. But walking down the street, you would barely notice the elegant, intricate windows and bright galleries hidden behind the dirt and grime of the city’s current construction project.

Susan Pryde, who’s been the owner and director since the co-op opened in 2010, is really stepping up her efforts to save her business. With a recentlylaunched Indiegogo fundraising campaign, as well as a new brochure, the group is really looking to make up the difference in funds, and the economy and the construction have cost their business.

According to Pryde, the co-op runs a very tight budget. The optimal number of artists for the coop to be able to afford running is 40 to 45, and the current membership is 31 artists.

“We had a fundraiser at Crane Alley, as well as a $10 original art sale,” she said, and while much of the art is very affordable, “we’re on a very tight budget.”

Pryde has so much vision for where the Eclectic Co-Op can go, including contributing her own work (she’s a UIUC grad with a degree in industrial design), but she says that running the gallery is a lifestyle. With designing galleries, meeting clients and artists, and always being present in the front gallery to greet customers with a warm smile, she has a lot on her plate.

“We discovered early on that the one thing that people don’t have is time… My ultimate goal is not to give all of my time into keeping us up and goingI’ve been promising myself that since we opened, and that has not happened,” she said with a laugh.

More than anything, Pryde wants to keep the coop alive for the sake of the local artist community.

The opportunity to sell, view and buy local art is a priceless one, and she hopes that people will help keep her hard work alive.

Eclectic, located at 123 W. Main Street in downtown Urbana, is open Tuesdays-Sundays from 11-5.

Their Indiegogo campaign is linked to their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/eclecticartistcoop, and their official campaign hashtag is #SaveEclectic.
