We caught a lot of flack for some of our Best of CU coverage over the weekend. Among the complaints: Jimmy John’s won Best Delivery Food and Best Sandwich Shop, The Ribeye won Best Steak, Binny’s Beverage Depot won Best Liquor Store, etc. The bias toward local, non-franchised restaurants and businesses is understandable and even good. Most of the places we recognized in that issue do great work and deserve their award. But the Best of CU issue is not about what the editors of buzz consider the best ChampaignUrbana has to offer. It is about what real residents of Champaign-Urbana—eating, drinking, shopping and living here every day—consider the best parts of their town. And when they vote for places like Jimmy John’s, The Ribeye or Binny’s as the Best of CU, that’s what we are going to publish. Should the fact that we leave the results up to the community delegitimize the whole contest? I am only one voice, so I cannot honestly say. But I will point out that this publication spends each issue of the year, save one very special issue, telling our readers which places, people and events are worth following; we ought to be able to turn around once in a while and let those same readers tell us whether the things we choose to promote are indeed worthwhile. Take a look at some of our recent cover stories and you will see we do a damn good job picking out cool local happenings: the literary magazine, Sobotka; the first annual CU Comedy Festival; campus-hit Candy Cab; and Pygmalion, to name a few. Perhaps the most important defense of the Best of CU issue, though, is simply that it’s fun. Consider it a reality-check when your favorite spots aren’t picked. Often times, buzz’s own editors are frustrated with some of the winners. But that is exactly why we have Editors’ Picks. If you think another place deserves a nod, you have the means to influence that change: tell your friends, write a Yelp review. That’s the work we are doing at buzz. Or, at least we are trying.

I've never had the desire to rush a sorority—until a (very rainy) week ago when my umbrella broke. Suddenly, those flashy blue rain jackets dotting the Quad became much more appealing, and so did the letters uniformly embroidered across the chests. I'm tired of rolling into class with a soaked shirt and poofy hair. Give me a sorority rain jacket and the sense of having my shit together that comes alongside. So hey, Kappas and Deltas and Gammas: Take pity on a cold, wet, jacketless GDI, and send that raincoat my way. YIKES THEN

I was taking a decently hard exam where there was a lot of reading required before answering the questions. I was really hungry during my exam, and I couldn't really care less about the financial inflation of numbers and percentages and weird multiplication values. To say the least, my exam was pretty hard. Uninterested in taking the test, I started to think about pizza... Because naturally, what else could I be possibly be thinking about in an academic setting (sarcasm)? I had gotten through number 18 out of 32. In my head, I asked myself, "Will you order one or two slices? Will one be to go? WHAT TOPPINGS!?" Then I realized I was still taking an exam. I literally had to tell myself (in my head) to get it together to finish the exam. What is wrong with me? I didn't do much to deserve a slice of pizza after the exam, but I got one anyway. I liked it a lot. Yikes for the fact that I can't focus for the life of me, but likes for the fact that the pizza was better than my exam. #Priorities

that American Horror Story: Freak Show is almost halfway through its run, the key players have been introduced and developed and the direction of this season is clear. From the get-go, fans could discern that this was going to be the most bizarre, unsettling season of the popular FX anthology, and that assumption has proven true. While I think the show’s previous season, American Horror Story: Asylum, was scarier, Freak Show offers plenty of frights but an even greater serving of all that is off-putting and cringe-inducing. AHS lost its footing a bit in the third season, Coven, focusing on pointless catfights and the “Supreme” guessing game, and relegating fun, terror and relatable characters to the backburner. Freak Show started off strong from the first few episodes, thanks especially to John Carroll Lynch’s Twisty the Clown, who

will be the subject of many viewers’ nightmares for months to come. What also separates Freak Show from previous seasons is its basis in truth. Most of the characters are inspired by historical freak show performers, creating an avenue for strong character development. The series has ample ground yet to cover with these characters’ backstories and emotional, psychological journeys. Thus far, writers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have done an excellent job of painting a frightening portrait of carnival life in the 1950s while still garnering empathy from viewers for the flawed, anomalous characters. Personally, I think AHS works best when it’s set in the past, as season two or parts of season three were. As always, the acting is top-notch on AHS. Jessica Lange adds another knockout role to her canon of leads with Elsa Mars. Flaunting a German

accent and her usual head-bitchin-charge demeanor, Lange should be in the running for another Emmy award this year. The breakthrough performance of this season comes from Finn Wittrock, who portrays the disturbed, erratic Dandy Mott. He plays the psychotic son of Gloria (Frances Conroy, returning for her fourth season) with all the bravado of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and Christian Bale in American Psycho. He is a ticking time bomb that captivates and nerve-wracks every time he steps into the frame. Sarah Paulson should also receive awards buzz for playing conjoined twins Bette and Dot. It’s challenging enough for an actor to play ordinary, individual twins, but Paulson is succeeding in making us believe that she is two very different people sharing the same body. Not to men-

tion, the split-screen subjective shot of Bette and Dot’s perspectives is a mark of editing genius on the part of cinematographer Michael Goi. Angela Bassett and Emma Roberts are also on hand but, at this point, haven’t done anything as remarkable as they did in the last season. Each year, American Horror Story has grown weirder and pushed boundaries farther, and Freak Show follows suit. (Hearing news that each season is somehow connected also adds intrigue and more dimensionality to the viewing experience). That said, fans of the first few seasons will find Freak Show easily accessible and entertaining ; however, newcomers may find it somewhat polarizing. Either way, it’s worth watching for the award-worthy acting, delightfully twisted setting, and well-written characters that turn out to be as sympathetic as they are spine-chilling.

THINGS

change for most people throughout the years. Dreams are often pushed aside for careers or other obligations and in a way that becomes the new dream itself. Being a musician, for example, is a dream many have. However, few are able to accomplish. Yet, for a determined few, this dream actually becomes a reality like it did for Elizabeth Majerus of Motes. Motes is getting ready to release its debut album Keep it in the Dark while the members balance friendships, work and family with being artists. For Majerus, being an artist has always been something that’s part of her life, but she was able to incorporate her love of poetry and being a teacher into being a musician as well—an ability to combine a number of interests most people can’t. “A lot of new things have happened aside from band practice and playing some shows,” said Majerus. “When we talked to buzz last, we were getting ready to play Pygmalion,” Majerus said. “We recorded our album and since then, we have just been starting to mix our album. I think the mixing has taken longer than we anticipated, but this is how it works, I guess.” The mixing process will be for their first full-length album, and its conception has been different from that of their previous work, which was completed mostly in the Majerus and guitarist Matt Mitchell’s

basement. The band shares a unique closeness unfamiliar in most bands: Majerus and Mitchell are married, while drummer Matt Cohn was also once Mitchell’s undergraduate student. “When we recorded (the band’s debut EP) Feel the Summer’s Heat, we did that all at home,” Majerus said. “Matt recorded the drums to tape because he actually has a cassette four track. We had the luxury of taking a long time with it, but that also kind of gives you the burden of not having it finished.” Just as all musicians, the three wanted to make sure the finished product was as perfect as possible, which results in having numerous takes on each track. Majerus said the recording process ends up taking up more time of your life doing it alone with it always in the back of your mind. The band knew it was time to take things to the next level with Keep it in the Dark, heading into Earth Analog Studios in Tolono, Ill. to track the debut album. “We worked 12 to 15-hour days every day and yet, it didn’t feel exhausting or stressful in any way,” Majerus said. Together, Motes collaborated on each song. While with two members married to each other, they try to make each decision as fair as possible. And being such good friends generally makes them easy to make. For Majerus especially, who is often tasked with completing the lyrics, this was a fun process as she was able to

draw from her experience in poetry and teaching when looking for inspiration. Simply put, “It’s art,” she said. And inspiration can strike anywhere. “Being a poet definitely influences my lyrics,” Majerus said. “I will sometimes use that if I’m having trouble writing a song. When I write, I always write the music first and then I write the lyrics second because for me, the words come more easily.” Majerus said she’ll often start by singing nonsense syllables or singing “something really cheesy that (she) would never want to be part of the song” in order to find lyrics. “Occasionally, I will be stuck on these off-lyrics that I’m just using as a place marker, so I will go to my poetry notebook and say, ‘Okay, I need a line here,’ and then I will pick a line that it will just fit,” she said. “We have a song called ‘Great Lake’ and that was just an instrumental song for the longest time. I had something that I hated and really wanted to change it, so I went to my poetry notebook and there was this line that just said, ‘My great lake is not like your sea,’ and I was like ‘That’s interesting!’” Originally, the band threw around the idea of only writing a few more songs and releasing another EP. But the sense of accomplishment that comes along with releasing a full-length was enough to push them to balance the rest of their responsibilities and make it happen. The next step they had to

take was deciding who they wanted to work with for its release. Keeping it local, Champaign-based label Heirship Records was an obvious choice, seeing Isaac Arms not only as an inspiration and the “embodiment of Heirship” but also a friend. “It has been very productive working with Heirship Records and Isaac,” Majerus said. “I think, in a lot of ways, he is a part of this record as much as we are. He has been a friend and a promoter and supporter of our band for a long time but, when he started suggesting that Heirship put out of next release, we were excited about that.” Getting to interpret the meanings and find something special in each song as a listener is something powerful. In the case of Motes’ new album, the band certainly doesn’t want anything to stay in the dark because “darkness is beautiful,” Majerus said. While Majerus admits their lyrics are not confessional, she finds certainty in them and said it’s “tapping into the unconscious and you find a truth that strikes the heart even though you can not exactly say why or describe what it means.” It’s ambiguous and intriguing—exactly what music should be. Motes manages to achieve this feeling through balancing its loud, noisy, raw music with the melodic, hushed vocals that sooth the band. Playing those off of each other creates the band’s first full-length album, but one they hope is not the last. November 21-27, 2014 buzz 5

Friday and Saturday, the University’s Geometry Lab will be holding MoSAIC (Mathematics of Science, Art, Industry and Culture) Festival. Through speakers, interactive workshops, video screenings and an art exhibition, attendees will be able to explore mathematics and art through a different perspective. The festival is free to attend and open to the public. “This is an event to showcase the connections between math and art, which is a very interesting topic,” said Jayadev Athreya, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University and lead organizer of its MoSAIC Festival. Speakers and workshops will inform students from sixth grade and older on topics that vary from logo designs to the mathematics of snowflakes. “The hands-on workshops are going to be phenomenal,” Athreya said. Here, participants will be able to have an interactive experience and produce their own mathematical art. “This shows the creativity that goes into mathematics,” Athreya said. “It’s not something figured out thousands of years ago, but it is alive, living and breathing.” An art exhibition is taking place in the Illini Union this Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Art featured here are by nationally recognized artists as well as local art created on campus. The speakers will include a group of dynamic professors and researchers. “I can guarantee that you’re going to have some dynamite speakers,” Athreya said. “These will be

at the level of TED Talks or even better.” Judy Holdener, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Kenyon College and Illinois alumna, will be speaking at MoSAIC on the divergence of sinusoidal vector fields. “I used the divergence of a vector field to produce black and white symmetric patterns that are reminiscent of some of the African patterns you might see on weavings and textiles,” Holdener said. “I encountered them sort of by accident when I was playing with this notion of the divergence of the vector field.” A product of procrastination, Holdener joked, is now a discovery that creates an interesting kind of art. Holdener will also be leading a workshop entitled “Fun with Iterative Balloon-Twisting,” in which the kind of balloon art usually reserved for clowns will be a way for participants to bring math into the picture. Holdener said participants will learn more about the iteration process as well as get to be a part of a group effort to create a unique piece of mathematical art. “I think it will be nice in that they will be able to experience the process themselves and they will create it,” Holdener said. “When you look at the intersection of math and art, some of the beauty of math becomes apparent to people who maybe don’t understand the language of math. Looking at projects related to math and art, you get an opportunity to reveal it to those who can’t see it when they look at a sequence of symbols.” Bob Bosch, Professor of Natural Science at Ober-

lin College, will be speaking on the topic of “selfimposed constraints in visual art: mathematical optimization approaches.” “I am both a mathematician and an artist. The mathematician in me is fascinated with the roles that constraints play in mathematical optimization problems. Sometimes they make problems much harder to solve; other times, much easier,” Bosch said. “The artist in me is fascinated by the roles that constraints play in art. All artists must deal with constraints, but many artists choose to impose constraints upon themselves.” Bosch hopes that students will be surprised to see the relationship between mathematics and art and how well they work together. “I hope that after attending talks and workshops, these students will consider this to be an entirely natural, interesting and tremendously fun thing to do,” he said. The MoSAIC Festival is made possible by the group efforts of the Illinois Geometry Lab, the Department of Mathematics and the University Office of Public Engagement. The Illinois Geometry Lab is a branch of the Department of Mathematics at the University that promotes research and outreach programs in geometry. It was founded in 2011 by Anton Lukyanenko and Athreya, who currently serves as its director. They first applied to host the festival last January, and emphasized on their application the University’s rich history of developing connections

between math and art. Athreya said this is evident just walking through Altgeld Hall, where you see art in the form of sculptures and images. “It’s been quite a bit of work,” Athreya said. “I am really confident that it will be worth it.” He said that the past few months have been intense in preparation for the event, but they feel very lucky to be able to host the festival. MoSAIC is a national organization funded by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute that works to administer festivals and conferences to places around the country and world. It is put together by the Bridges Organization, which holds conferences around the world that are larger versions of MoSAIC festivals and emphasize the connection between math and art through a variety of ways. “Math is not a bunch of equations on a page; it’s a systematic way of recognizing patterns,” Athreya said. In the same way, Athreya says, art and music are largely focused on recognizing patterns. “My words can only do so much, but when you see it, you really get a sense, even if it’s not completely clear on a page,” he said. Events will be taking place in Altgeld Hall with the exception of the art exhibition in the Illini Union.

THOUGH

the coming holiday prompts all of CU’s thanks for the fall harvest, one establishment is giving the harvest something back. Every tantalizing lunch plate that’s left Big Grove Tavern’s kitchen this month, more than simply satisfying another customer, has marked a donation to the city’s food scene as a whole through the restaurant’s “Give Back” Campaign. Launched in October, the program takes a portion of lunch sales from Big Grove’s newly updated lunch menu and feeds them back into the community by way of key charitable organizations. These donations, then, don’t just support and expand the projects’ effectiveness, but raise the local level of awareness regarding some of the great work being done in town every day. Last month, for example, donations went towards The Land Connection, an online educational resource geared towards promoting restorative, sustainable farming and access to local and

organic food supplies for all. Funds helped run farmer training programs, field days and other community educational events like plays and roundtable discussions focused on sustainability. It is from this precedent that Big Grove’s November campaign focuses on yet another excellent paragon of sustainability: Prosperity Gardens. The white picket fenced community farm, located along North First Street in Champaign, is a perfect fit for the Downtown Champaign spot, an unpretentious and homey shrine to “Midwestern Craft Cuisine” with a steadfast devotion to farmto-table cooking and the adage “Eat, drink and think local.” As Big Grove describes, “Through neighborhood farming, Prosperity Gardens is dedicated to cultivating a healthy community through education, collaboration and employment opportunities.” Educationally, the garden puts its focus on bringing sustainability to schools, partnering with the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club to run a nine week

nutrition program throughout the summer. This works in tandem with Prosperity Gardens’s overarching partnership with the READY program, an alternative student program within Champaign and Ford Counties. The garden hosts agricultural science, biology and food science classes all on site, allowing students firsthand lessons and demonstrations in growing food. From there, interested students, thanks to donations and grants, may take several part-time positions at Prosperity Gardens, everything from the actual planting and harvesting of produce to communally cooking and eating some of the bounty the helped grow. Students even learn small business skills, helping run an on-site and travelling farm stand that sells the garden’s produce to the CU community. And more than just farm-to-table, the harvest makes it way from farm to school, helping supply the READY program with fresh ingredients to begin crafting its school meals (like

butternut squash soup) from scratch. Completing the circle of sustainability, all food that is not sold it donated to worthy agencies like the TIMES Center in Champaign. From the classroom to the actual growing, harvesting, cooking and donating of plump, wonderful produce, Prosperity Gardens is a testament to how fresh food can sustain a community’s stomachs and hearts equally. So, next time you’re looking to not just eat a lunch that’s local, but promotes and sustains actual local gardens and farms in CU, there’s no more flavorful and feelgood option than chef Jessica Gorin’s creations at Big Grove Tavern. You can support Big Grove Tavern’s November “Give Back” Campaign with Prosperity Gardens by stopping by the restaurant during lunch hours (beginning at 11:00 AM and running until 2:00 PM) weekdays until the end of the month. The restaurant is located at One Main St., Champaign.

Jason Patterson, the artistic process begins not in a sketchbook but on the Internet. Instead of brainstorming or doodling, the local artist consults history books and documents, uncovering pieces of the past often forgotten by time and drawing attention to them by–quite literally – drawing them. At an early age, Patterson realized that his two passions (art and the stories of others remembered throughout history) could be combined. “In my work, I mostly (focus on) history, usually African American history but not exclusively; I’d say like 90% of the work I do or so is about that,” Patterson said. “I’ve always been really drawn to history, not just as an artist but as a person. I was really bad at school growing up but, in my history classes, I’d always get As because I really cared about what I was learning.” Throughout his career, Patterson’s work has followed a few similar themes, usually highlighting a historical component of the African-American experience and the African

diaspora through the form of portraiture. His most recent exhibition, now on display at the Murphy Gallery in the University YMCA, manages to capture the thematic elements often at play in his prior work while also differentiating itself from what he has previously done. New Americans: Our Mutual Improvement and Social Elevation examines real photographs of well-dressed, well-off African American men and women following the conclusion of the Civil War. Although the story of slavery and emancipation is a familiar one, the narrative presented by Patterson’s images is strikingly different from the one that most Americans are familiar with. “These images interest me so much because they’re not how you think of African-Americans in the 19th century; this isn’t how they’re usually depicted,” Patterson said. “And all of these are real pictures–and they aren’t pictures of people’s slaves that they dressed up; they’re actually real photographs that these individuals purchased of themselves and their family.”

The photographs that so profoundly inspired Patterson were taken largely from a collection at Yale and feature African Americans wearing formal, stylish attire, photographed in poses usually associated with the upper-class white men and women of the era. In the photographs (that Patterson later drew, manipulated and made his own), African-American subjects are wearing suits and bowties or dressed in gowns. These images are real but, because they are so far from the expected narrative, the response they elicit is often a confused, curious one. “(New Americans) is partly a false history because I’m presenting these images as this great thing that happened after the Civil War, that “everything’s ok now.” And for a small group of people that was true, but for the vast majority of African Americans, it wasn’t,” Patterson said. “The hope is that people will look into it and realize that isn’t what happened.” In his artistic rendition of the 19th century photographs, Patterson went to great lengths to

capture the aesthetic and style of the era. Using the photographed portraits as a guide, he drew various images on canvas and then poured clear acrylic on top of the drawing to give them the semblance of the paintings that would have been produced at the time. The most challenging aspect of the project, however, was in the construction of the frames surrounding many of the portraits. “With New Americans, I was doing something like a period piece of the 19th century and building the frames, which were more like sculptures. That was most special about the project,” Patterson said. “Originally, I was just going to build gold frames to fit with the period… so I was looking into interior design of the 19th century…and I started getting all of these [other] ideas. I thought that it would just be much more interesting if I made the frames look like walls instead.” The bold decision to border his pieces with vivid blue, yellow and red frames was among the more risky decisions that Patterson took in New Americans–but also the most rewarding.

“My favorite piece (in the exhibition) is that blue and yellow-framed one,” Patterson said. “That was the biggest risk I took, making that weird aesthetic choice… I wanted to make it seem odd but still look like the 19th century; to not make sense but to make sense at the same time.” A similar intention seems to guide New Americans as an exhibition–the portraits

presented are historically accurate and appear that way, but the snippets of life that they capture are almost entirely unfamiliar. In this respect, Patterson explains, the exhibition serves as a starting point for education and discovery. “I don’t necessarily want to tell stories that people have heard,” Patterson said. “I want to

tell stories that no one knows about, so that they can go and learn more.” “New Americans: Our Mutual Improvement and Social Elevation” will be on display at the University YMCA through December.

One of Japanese animated film director Hayao Miyazaki’s most beloved classics hits the Art this weekend. In a feudal Japan crossed with fantastical elements, warrior prince Ashitaka is infected by a demon and must travel to the lands from whence it came to find a forest spirit that can save him from demon’s corruption. On the way, he runs into a cast of characters as enigmatic as they are charming, from the titular princess who has forsaken humanity for the company of wolves, a boar god intent on defending the wilderness from encroaching humans and lady who defends her town with iron weapons and a constitution of steel. Ashitaka’s adventures set the stage for Miyazaki to explore themes of the balance between industry and the natural world and domains of rationality and science versus ancient wisdom and the spirit.
