Text Brianna Soloski
Hit the Books: A Late Summer Reading List from University of Nevada Press I’ve pulled together some great late summer reading options from the University of Nevada Press. Running the gamut from essays to novels to poetry, there’s sure to be something here to strike your reading fancy. All books can be found online at University of Nevada Press or wherever books are sold. Under the Western Sky: Essays on the Fiction and Music of Willy Vlautin $34.95 Willy Vlautin writes what are considered quintessential Reno novels, from The Motel Life to Don’t Skip Out On Me. This essay collection sheds light on his literary and musical works from other authors’ perspectives. It also contains 11 original art images and an interview with Vlautin. Vlautin’s works are very much rooted in place, but also speak to the greater world, especially when it comes to a sense of community. You don’t want to miss this collection that takes a look at economic change, social change, and much more. This important collection finds connections between his literature and music created with his band, Richmond Fontaine, and how essential each story and song is.
Desert Mementos: Stories of Iraq and Nevada $22.95 Caleb S. Cage brings war-torn Iraq to life with this loosely connected short story collection. Cage served in Iraq himself so there is a grain of truth to all of his stories. The entire collection covers a year in the lives of young soldiers fighting for their country. Desert Mementos is book-ended by stories of leaving and returning to Nevada, which can bring about its own issues that can be far more stressful than being in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language and are not particularly welcome. These stories weave together two very different cultures to tell an important story of war, growing up, and coming home. 8 Reno Tahoe Tonight
Saints of Rattlesnake Mountain: Stories $25.95 This short story collection from Don Waters is set in the American Southwest and explores characters who are clinging to faith in whatever way they possibly can in order to survive their hard-scrabble lives. Taking place in cities from California to New Mexico, the reader is welcomed into a world that will likely be vastly different from anything they’ve ever known. And that’s a good thing. Saints of Rattlesnake Mountain will leave you breathless and wanting more. The language is beautifully done and the stories have their own sort of magical realism about them. You will feel both at home and lost in the desert Waters has created. Compared to Flannery O’Connor and Raymond Carver, this collection from Waters is a can’t miss hit.
House On Breakaheart Road: Poems $12.00 Award-winning poet and Nevada Writers Hall of Fame inductee Gailmarie Pahmeier has worked her magic yet again with this excellent poetry collection. This collection takes a slightly different angle and is told through the voice of a fictional character named Emma. These moody poems run the gamut from happy to sad, but all are lyrical and worth a look or two. Pahmeier looks for the deeper meaning within life and within love, as well as what comes out of how women choose to live their lives. Infused with humor and subtlety, the poems in this collection will leave you wanting more.
Deep Blue Memory $21.00 Taking a good look at multiple generations of a Basque-American family, Monique Laxalt draws on her personal life experience to tell this fictional story. Told from the point of view of the granddaughter of first generation BasqueAmericans, Deep Blue Memory looks at how generations look both forward and backward, depending where they are in life. The themes of the book, from art to memory, are intertwined and it’s sometimes impossible to tell where one thing stops and another thing begins. Beautifully written, this is a must read for anyone interested in Basque culture and how generations weave their stories together to create one strong story. Reno Tahoe Tonight 9
BOOKS Abracadabra: A Novel $19.95 The most recent release from David Kranes, Abracadabra takes a deep dive into the noir world of magic and magicians. There is immediate tension and conflict when the novel starts off with a mystery: the disappearance of an audience member at a magic act (that’s not a spoiler, promise!). Solving the mystery falls to a former pro football player, who hears voices after suffering a concussion. So many things are at play in this twisting rollercoaster ride of a novel, you won’t be able to put it down until you hit the resolution at the end. However, Kranes has complete control over his words the entire time, so you’ll never feel like you’ve been tossed out to see without a life jacket.
Whole of the Moon: A Novel $19.95 Six unique characters come together to create the cast of Brian Rogers’ Whole of the Moon. While the characters seemingly have nothing in common, they are all connected via a library copy of The Great Gatsby. Their stories span the 1950s to the present and show that everyone is just seeking to find happiness on some level. The Whole of the Moon looks at life in Southern California beyond the red carpet and how six very different people handle the obstacles life throws their way. The Great Gatsby plays as much of a role as the actual human characters, which just proves the power stories have over us as human beings.

isitors to Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe are in for a treat if they take a chance and buy a family pack of tickets to see Bobby Hall perform his up close magic at The Loft. Hall's shows Magic Fusion and his recurring late Friday night adults only Magic After Dark series are crowd-pleasing, high energy, one-of-a-kind events that pack the cozy Loft Theater, located on the unassuming third floor of Heavenly's Loft complex.
Magic Fusion is relentlessly entertaining and is Tahoe's top rated magic show. In his roll as resident magician, Hall trades quips with audience members young and old and keeps them offbalance, amazed and in stitches. Hall is funnier than most comedians, though comedy is not his schtick, he uses his formidable improvisational skills to his advantage, and the results are hilarious. His sparkling wit and whip-smart banter allows the hour+ long performance to fly by, building the show to a dazzling crescendo.
Hall's routine is old-timey in its feel, but with an edge, as he performs card tricks and sleight-ofhand with the audience extremely close to the action. We've all seen props like the magic rope before, but Hall adds some serious twists that serve to amaze and confound the viewer. Hall's style is fresh, his patter is confident from years of honing his craft in front of live audiences.
At first The Loft may seem like an odd place to see a top-flight magician right in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. The space manages to successfully mix fine dining, a stellar wine list and casual intimacy with a rustic ultra lounge-vibe that is unlike anything else you can find at the Lake. The Culinary Institute of America trained chef-Partner and VP of Operations Frank Trotta has assembled Reno Tahoe Tonight 15
COVER STORY
a great service staff and designed an exceptional menu with a stellar wine list. On my visit I enjoyed the Caesar salad with fresh anchovies. My guest had the Butternut Squash Tortelloni topped with sage brown butter, toasted pecans and shaved parmesan. The wine was a California coastal red from Hope Family Wines in Paso Robles called Troublemaker which was big, aromatic blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah that was delicious. I asked The Loft owner Paul Reder, noted concert promoter and impresario, about what attracted him to the space.
Oliver X :
Paul, talk a little bit about what attracted you to The Loft concept. How did you have the audacity (or foresight) to build out a 100-person+ theater inside a fine dining establishment?
Paul Reder :
My company has produced awardwinning magic-based production shows in the market for over 15 years. We held the lease on the showroom at the Horizon Casino for nearly 12 years producing family-friendly entertainment, and had built-up a lot of equity in the “Fusion� brand-name over the years. When the Hard Rock took over the Horizon, they decided to tear out the venue, and built a small-box live concert facility. 16 Reno Tahoe Tonight
I went on the hunt to move the show when I got a call from an old friend and colleague, Gary Casteel. He and his family are the developers of the Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Gary showed me a 6000 square foot space that had sat empty for over 10 years. He had tried to lease it out, but he knew it would take a special kind of attraction to make that space work. After sitting with it for some time, I enlisted the help of a dear friend who has a construction and business background, who not only turned out to be extremely helpful with all aspects of the concept, he became my equal partner. And so The Loft Theatre was built and we opened December 18, 2015. The Theatre was the genesis of the project to host Magic Fusion, and the restaurant and lounge were built as an amenity to the experience. We didn't plan on it becoming an award-winning restaurant, that happened organically, and now we have quite the culinary staff preparing homemade, hand-crafted dishes 7-nights a week, along with a vibrant craft cocktail and wine program. Our VP of Operations, Frank Trotta, is also our Executive Chef, and in-house 2nd degree sommelier. Last year we added a 3000 square foot outdoor deck called the Village Bsar & Grill which serves traditional American outdoor BBQ items, and also has a full bar outside overlooking the Grand Marriott.
Oliver X
: The Loft appears to be a
very convertible facility that can easily morph into many incarnations. What's your vision for the space and what exciting things are on the calendar for the remainder of 2018 at The Loft?
Paul Reder :
Our vision for The Loft is to provide an entertainment and dining experience for all-ages. We are the only family-friendly live production in Lake Tahoe, but we also feature late-night entertainment for those who want a more adult experience. Magic After Dark: Robert Hall #unfiltered was written and produced for (im)mature audience 18+. The Loft Lounge transforms in the Heavenly Village’s only ultralounge/nightclub on the weekends. We present international headline deep house DJ’s, as well as our own resident DJ who spins vibey, chill house music from 10p-2a on the weekends. It’s a great alternative to some of the other “untz untz” clubs in town. We love trying new things in the theatre. We’ve done Psychic-Mediums, Singer/Songwriter Headliners, Ted Talks, Off-Broadway musicals, Comedians, and even chanting Monks from Tibet. I first met Bobby Hall in Reno years ago at an event. I met Hall again with my dancer friend Amber Lee in Tahoe body painting naked go-go dancers at
Montbleu. He's still the best body painter I've worked with to date, his finely detailed brush work gracing the cover of this publication just a few years ago. I never knew he was such an accomplished magician. But Bobby is great at everything he does. I caught up to him after his show to learn more about his magic and how he came to the craft.
Oliver X : Bobby Hall :
Talk about your background as a performer and artist.
My background is actually very eclectic... I started my love of magic at a young age but was also equally drawn to the stage and performing in a variety of different ways. My first job was actually a contract dancing in a show in Southern California as one of the show's headliners. I was doing a 9 minute solo dance routine working in and out of 60 wooden hoops. I toured the world performing that act in shows from LA to Las Vegas. I worked variety shows, dance companies, theatrical productions, and even Cirque...It was that act along with some close up magic that brought me to Tahoe to perform in a show in the Horizon Casino for a year and a half. Along with the dancing I've always been an artist and found painting as a great way to calm my mind and relax. About 15 years ago fell into my second career as a body painter. That is actually Reno Tahoe Tonight 17
COVER STORY what I was doing when we met years ago at a Red Bull party in Reno. I found body painting was a great job that fit in with the performing because I was always able to find work in nightclubs wherever I was doing my shows. I would finish dancing in the show and then I would rush over to a VIP party or club and paint beautiful women live onstage all night long. I've worked the Playboy Mansion, nightclubs across the country, and been sponsored by Red Bull to work all of their parties and events. Then there is the third act in my life beyond the dancing and painting and that is the magic. Magic has always been a huge love and passion for me and over the years it has been a lucrative side business you could say. I have always taken gigs and work whenever I was free while on tour and was the resident magician doing close up magic over the years at The Hard Rock Casino in Vegas, Montbleu Casino in Tahoe, and the Eldorado Casino in Reno. But it wasn't until they opened The Loft here in South Lake Tahoe that I made the change to focus full-time completely on the magic. It's actually funny how, over the years, my jobs and opportunities have lined up. Case in point, the show that brought me to Tahoe was produced by Paul Reder who at the time was also the entertainment director at Caesar's, which was turning into Montbleu. He knew of my body painting and was opening two new nightclubs and so he brought me into the clubs to paint five nights a week. That kept me in Tahoe and I started branching out to clubs in Reno as well like 210 north, Edge, and Bubinga. I spent ten years doing this and painted thousands of people. But then about two years ago Paul Reder and a couple friends started a new venture called The Loft which is an elegant Theatre, Lounge, and Italian restaurant. It's also the home of Tahoe's number one rated show Magic Fusion, and where I have spent the last two years as the resident magician.
Oliver X : Bobby Hall :
How old were you when you got bit by the magic bug?
I got bit by the magic bug at a very young age and as a kid I always had a deck of cards and was always looking for an audience, whether it was family, friends, or complete strangers. Then as I started dancing and performing in shows I found 18 Reno Tahoe Tonight
almost all of them had a magician or magic act in the show. I always gravitated to these guys and many have become some of my closest and dearest friends over the years. It was with these working pros backstage where I would pick their mind and hone my chops you could say. Then I slowly found myself getting more and more work on the side doing close up magic. One of my favorite jobs was for the Eldorado Casino where I would just walk around the casino doing close up magic for random unsuspecting people every night...It had a David Blaine street magic kind of vibe and was a lot of fun. But since I have started at The Loft it has been nonstop performing seven days a week for two years now, and with that type of consistency I feel my magic has never been stronger.
Oliver X : Bobby Hall :
The Loft?
How do you integrate your artistic gifts into your act at
That's a great question. Our Magic Fusion show at The Loft is always rotating the magicians every few weeks so that people coming back can have a chance to see an entirely different show. And the one thing that all of our acts have in common is that they are catered very much to the personality and life of the magician performing. My show truly is the story of my life, as I go through my show you are getting stories from my childhood; shows that I have been involved in; you're hearing of my successes and failures. My philosophy with my show is when an audience leaves, I want them to leave feeling like they truly got to know me. Whether you like magic or not, I want them to leave feeling that they liked me. Most of our performers also have very personal shows that are built to the strengths of their character. We just had Titou from France over July and his show is very much a show built around his culture and upbringing and how that translates while he travels the world. My show I talk about my dancing and my childhood and how all the weird roads my life performing has taken to bring me to that room and that theatre on that night.
Oliver X :
different audiences?
How has your act changed over the years to adapt to
Bobby Hall :
My act is constantly changing and evolving; I am always looking for new material to keep it fresh and new for returning audiences. But secondly, and more importantly, to keep it fresh and exciting for me. But even with the same show it really will change from night-to-night depending on the audience. If it's a matinee or a show with a lot of younger kids, you need to be aware of that so that you can adjust appropriately. If I have an older audience I know I can slow down and take my time building a moment or telling a story. But a much younger audience needs higher energy and a constant flow of new information coming to them to keep them hooked. Plus, we have a brand new show I'm doing that started a couple months ago called Magic After Dark. This is an adults only, completely unfiltered show that is much more explicit and dirty. It's a show that is only performed on the late show Friday nights and is a great time for those people wanting a little more adult and explicit humor, while still seeing some pretty strong magic. But it is a very different show than the Magic Fusion show we perform here at The Loft seven nights-a-week.
Oliver X : Bobby Hall :
routines stay fresh?
What ways do you ensure that your
The best way is taking a step back from time to time. Having so many different magicians from all over the world that we bring in to perform means I can take time to recharge my batteries in a way. I'm still there every day, but if it's not my show in the theatre I am still there opening the show and introducing the headliner. But then I go out to the restaurant and deck and perform close up magic and slight-of-hand, which will always be my first love. These weeks with the other headliners allows me to refocus and maybe work on something new I want to put into the show when I go back into the theatre. It also gives me some of the best magicians in the world to hang out with and brainstorm and work out new material with. Thelofttahoe.com

Purposeful Living Healing Center Finding Your Purpose Purposeful Living Healing Center is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Midtown (Reno, Nevada). The small cottage-sized space was formerly a meth house that had caught fire years ago. For the past four years Purposeful Living (PL) has brought the space and its surroundings a healing atmosphere. It is located behind Crystal Cove in the back alley in between Shea’s Bar and The Saint. We are a few buildings down from SUP. Purposeful Living has a wonderful team of volunteers who help the space to stay active and spread the word about what we offer – which is intentional living (living a certain way on purpose). We practice mindfulness and living in the present moment. We work to stay away from anxiety, stress and drama. Our intention is to create a mindful community. In this day and age, we're a society run by technology and we're losing our connection to human contact and touch. We're social beings, so when this happens it causes issues of isolation, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and anxiety. We begin to not understand what it really feels like to live. We lose touch with what our purpose really is and disconnect as a society. Our relationships tend to suffer because we no longer understand how to consciously communicate with one another without drama. We only offer classes and workshops when our clients or students ask for the classes to be held or created. In our space we offer many different classes like: • • • • • • • •

Purposeful Living is beginning to work on offering retreats in Truckee (empowering women’s workshop), Nevada City (Alternative Healing on a horse ranch) Fall 2018 and The Pearl Islands (Healing with Whales and Dolphins) in 2019. We also open our space up for others to hold classes and discussions in the community. At times we partner with other local businesses for discussions on mindfulness with our clients and their customers. Our website offers blogs and videos on mindfulness and meditation twice a week from our blogger J.c. Conway. Each volunteer connects with their passion and brings it to the space to offer it to the community. Some of the healing products we offer for purchase are CBD items like; water, oils, tincture, and salve to help ease pain, anxiety, insomnia and stress. Of course having a practice of meditation and mindfulness with us also helps with these discomforts of the body, mind, and spirit. The main service we offer is private sessions with owner (Envisionary) Leigh Hurst. Have you lost touch with your purpose in life? You may possibly be going through a rough patch like relationship issues, career change, anxiety, fear, whatever it is, you can bring it to the building and work through it with a private session. This is not like counseling because we work with mindfulness, energy work and sound healing. Some clients refer to it as chiropractic for the soul. After sitting with Hurst and discussing issues going on with your life we implement mindful solutions to bring your life back into balance. Sometimes a mind map is created to guide you through the process of changes on your path. When we are halfway through the session, a decision is made about whether the client would like to do “table work,” which can include sound healing with crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks and other sacred instruments. If you can’t seem to quiet your mind you will be guided through a meditation to bring relaxation. We also use different color therapies to stop your mind from overthinking. The table work may include crystals, energy work, aligning chakras, music, and aromatherapy. Hurst received her Associates Degree in Psychology and Bachelors of Arts in Social Work while having a minor in Gerontology from Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. She's nearly completed her Master’s Degree in
Gerontology from University of Southern California. Hurst is a published author of two books that are available and loves inspiring people through her public speaking. For the last seven years Hurst has studied with many different healers in many workshops throughout the United States. Some of her healing training includes energy work, sound healing, full body energetic orgasm and sacred sexuality, to name a few.

Seriously Fun-It’s
LEGALLY BLONDE
T
his August, there is one surefire way to have so much fun it ought to be illegal. Get your tickets now to attend Legally Blonde, live on stage August 17 to September 1 at the Robert Z Hawkins Amphitheater at Bartley Ranch in Reno. Sorority star Elle Woods is aghast when her boyfriend dumps her for someone "serious." Legally Blonde follows Elle as she puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. Sierra School of Performing Arts (SSPA) has assembled a cast of gifted community actors, both adults and teens, who will treat the audience to the memorable songs and dynamic dances that make this show an audience favorite. One of those talented community actors is Allison Gunderson, daughter of Lisa Gunderson, who happens to be one of SSPA’s original founding members. It has been over 12 years since a Gunderson was in a SSPA production. Allison’s oldest sister and brother participated in SSPA’s first summer camp in 2005. Now the “baby” of the family has caught the family acting bug. Allison has been cast one of Elle Woods’ sorority sisters in Legally Blonde. During her high school career, Allison has focused on academics, leadership, and sports. But with only one year left in high school, Allison felt this show was the perfect opportunity to shine on a different type of stage than the volleyball court. Through her involvement in the school musical at Bishop
Manogue, and now with Legally Blonde, she has discovered a passion for being in the spotlight and performing in front of an audience. Says mom Lisa, “Acting and theater experiences are so important for young children. They learn self-confidence and build self-esteem. I love watching children light up when they hear the applause of an audience.” Janet Lazarus, SSPA’s producing artistic director and co-founder, describes SSPA’s main goals for every production. “As a teaching organization, we use the rehearsal process to build the skills of our younger or less experienced cast members. Of course, we also want to put on a great show. The entire cast and crew work hard during rehearsals all summer to make sure we are prepared for opening night.” Over the years, SSPA has found success meeting both these goals. They have been presenting sold-out shows for years, first at the Redfield Proscenium Theater at UNR and more recently at Bartley Ranch. In 2017, three of the eight performances of The Sound of Music were sold out, and every performance had an audience of at least 500 people. The organization expects this popular show to sell out quickly as well, so pick a night to attend and get your tickets now! Not only are these shows great fun for the audience, they are great education for the younger actors. The cast of Legally Blonde features some of Northern Nevada’s finest adult actors, mentoring the up-and-coming young people in the acting troupe. Sierra School of Performing Arts is one of the

premier providers of performing arts education in Northern Nevada. Many students who began in SSPA summer camps or productions now attend college-level performing arts programs and have earned jobs in professional theater companies. While SSPA’s biggest production of the year is its summer musical, it also offers young people other opportunities to explore their creative side. SSPA teaches weekly classes for children and adults during two sessions in the fall and winter. They also offer a performing arts summer camp for children in fourth through eighth grades. More information about all SSPA programs is available on their website: sierraschoolofperformingarts.org. The largest challenge to SSPA, and every theater organization, is the expense of producing live shows. Ticket sales alone cannot cover all the costs associated with a stage production. SSPA depends on the generosity of public agencies, foundations and sponsors to fund each show. SSPA also needs community support for its long-term growth. If you or your business would like more information about becoming a sponsor for SSPA’s productions and programs, you may contact Executive Director Chip Lindloff at 775-852-7740.

It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint Excerpt from future book from Janice Hermsen In the process of doing consultations for clients that want to have their books published, it became a mantra to start the conversation with, “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” If you want to be a best-selling author, heck, if you just want to be an author that sells a lot of books, you have to look at the long-haul, not just the beginning. Many new authors feel that writing their book is the most difficult task they will face. Little do they know what is in store. According to Bowker, over 625,000 US Indie books were published in 2015. The competition is fierce and, unfortunately, authors don’t always do their homework before beginning their projects. In most cases, when a manuscript has been submitted to us (at LeRue Press), we ask the question, “Did you check what other titles are similar to yours?” You already know the answer we get. Nope. Not really. The response is usually something like, “Well, I wrote this for me and all my friends and family told me it was so good, I needed to get it out on the market.” That is not to say that many of the manuscripts are not good. What the authors need to know is that writing a good book is a laudable endeavor. Having it published and READ by a large percentage of the world’s population is an endeavor they have to approach as a long-term investment. They need to think of it as a business. What does a business require? You guessed it. Planning. Budgeting. Marketing. Money. Yes, even the author that is traditionally published will have to invest money into the project if they expect success. But wait. Isn’t writing a book about selling it for profit? Well, yes and no. Sometimes books are written to profit from a different business. Sometimes they are written to benefit a charity. Sometimes they are written because the author 26 Reno Tahoe Tonight
MUST WRITE IT! Whether it makes them money or not. Those are the cold, hard facts. You might wonder, why am I writing a book? (Yes, I am writing one; this is an except from the manuscript). Do I expect to be a best-seller? I am writing to engage the authors that are starting out or somewhat seasoned in the art of books. I want to reinforce that they are on the right track. I don’t want them to give up, right before they find success. I believe many authors, good ones, give up because they don’t understand what is necessary to find success. Maybe they don’t have anyone to guide them. They read what they can find on the internet, but they don’t know what to believe. We need quality books, even if they don’t become best-sellers. Because there are some books that are good, quality books, that can’t be best-sellers. The number of people that have an interest in them is too small to hit the list. But that should not stop an author from writing the book if they have a good, solid plan, balanced with a good, solid budget. To answer the question that I evaded about being a best-seller? Don’t count me out; time will tell.

Raising The Dead on 4th Street Reno: You gotta get better at supporting the most killer clubs or venues you have. Although it was cursed toward the end by eternal road work outside its doors, the Studio on 4th was a great place to see bands or just hang out, and it really supported local and traveling musicians. I’m cheered, though, to hear about Dead Ringer Analog Bar, which now occupies the old Studio space at East Fourth Street and Valley Road. Owned by Bryce and Avyn Tomberlin, at this point, the only music is recorded works being played in analog: vinyl, tapes, etc. And by that, I mean the whole album in one go - very un-DJ or jukebox and very cool for an idea. You should know that there are definite plans for live music at some point, and with eclectic styles being considered. Don’t blow it, Reno! Support these folks and whoever ends up at the old Lincoln Lounge or Se7en/Green Room spaces that I’ve heard are getting a revitalization. Hardly Awful One of the best new Reno rock bands in recent memory is Pink Awful, and they’ve just released their debut album called “Potboiler.” If you loved the days when noisy double-guitars ruled the roost in alternative rock, you will love Pink Awful. Led by the visceral stage presence of Ashley Costelloe, the band brings everything from moody atmospherics to flat-out noise to the party. They are one of the best live bands in town right now, and the well-produced in-your-face
album fits them perfectly. Check out “Potboiler” in the usual internet spots. Worship With the Rev The Rev. Rory Dowd is a famed Reno raconteur, musician and poet, not to mention a contributor in the past to this very publication. He lso tends bar at St. James Infirmary on California Avenue. Now, Rev. Rory has started Sunday Service, an ongoing series of shows with some specials for industry folk as part of the bargain. It would be a great place for you to see something a little more restrained (at lease in volume) to cap off your weekend. Among the artists confirmed are ace singer/songwriters Larry Cooper on August 19 and Low La La on September 2. And don’t miss Jen Scaffidi, excellent leader of Blunderbusst, doing a rare solo show on September 9. Don’t Block the ADZ On the hip-hop scene, a great collaborative record was recently released. “ADZ” features local rappers Apprentice and Dove as produced by Dialect HD. It’s got a definite 80s vibe on purpsoe, but not in a cheesy way at all-- more like a loving tribute than a bandwagon jump. Search for it online. Let Me Have It I want to know more about what’s going on that I can’t necessarily see. Does that make sense at all? Anyway, go to the Reno Tahoe Tonight Fan Page on Facebook and let me know what to let others know, y’know?

MUSIC Text Markelor Berthoumieux Album Cover Art for Weather Or Not
Evidence The Factory
set the record’s tone and left plenty of space for Evidence’s straightforward lyrics to stay in focus.
Evidence drops the disorienting visual for “The Factory”, a track off his third solo album Weather Or Not. Put together by director Jason Goldwatch, a collage of old-school tape recordings and obnoxious but fitting images are the backdrop for these boastful bars. Here he puts on for the coast that raised him to become an internationally recognized legend, whose content and presentation remain fresh and relevant.
I took an oath to state it on the record while it rumbled
produced by Twiz The Beat Pro
The Venice Beach representative proclaims his confidence while demanding respect for the cultural significance his side of the map has brought to the world. He stands firmly on his own contributions but remains humble, acknowledging the stature of colleagues. I'm Rhymesayer number three under Slug & Ali I'm dilated number three under Rakaa & Babu. With so much classic work under his belt, Evidence is free to talk his shit, making this calm yet assertive statement the perfect opening track. The menacing production by Twiz The Beat Pro 30 Reno Tahoe Tonight
You're now rocking with the West and ain't no time for me to fumble
So welcome to the jungle where my people serve their clients And they greet us like they need us so it's peaceful never violent This is a prime example that authentically dope music will never become irrelevant. Having a solid fan base and an unshakeable reputation puts an artist in the perfect position. For an MC like Evidence who shows no signs of slowing down, quality content is all that’s needed to continue touring and making an impact with his releases. Weather Or Not does the end of his decade-old weatherman series justice as he now searches for inspiration to create his new chapter. Check out the visual and stay tuned for his next offering.

MUSIC Shanti Shanti Something Beautiful Text Markelor Berthoumieux Album photo by Joel Santos
Something Beautiful As Shanti Shanti, Andrea Santos and Sara Gracey fully represent peace in body, speech and mind. Their name is a spiritual chant deriving from the Indian root language Sanskrit, which these two have practiced since they were children. At a young age they naturally picked up Sanskrit, being able to recite and understand the ancient text with absolutely no training. They grew into experts, which led them to form their group, becoming ambassadors of its peaceful message with their self-titled debut in 1996. Shanti Shanti's seventh album finds them in a state of celebration and healing. Dedicated to their late father Robert Forman, they use Something Beautiful to explore those tough emotions. But rather than pain, listeners will feel calm and uplifted throughout this project. The clean vocals over their live instruments work as intended, placing you in a state of meditation. Honing their gift has allowed them to teach and impact others across the world. Their fluency and delivery on this album exudes the confidence their studies have given them. The effortless flow on tracks like “Gayatri Mantra” and “Purnamada” display their ability to arrange music around such intricate poems and prayers. Positive lyrics are the focus, as they sing about loving life and finding peace within. This album’s range of topics can be used as a guide to navigate all facets of life. These sisters assume the role of wise masters coming forth to invoke motivation through life’s rough patches. Within the nine year process of making this album, they mastered their songwriting and production, tasks that their father who worked as a musician, performed. Using hard work to surpass their limitations, they’ve now released music that 34 Reno Tahoe Tonight
is a true reflection of who they are and who they want to be going forward. I spoke with Andrea Santos and veteran engineer Lane Cameron of Reno’s Cameron Lane Music Services, who mastered the album, by phone to get their take on it. Markelor Berthoumieux: What was the inspiration behind Something Beautiful? Andrea Santos: Finding your inner peace and moving into the best part of yourself. Asking yourself those tough questions and letting go of fear or whatever is holding you back. Markelor Berthoumieux: What was the recording process like? Andrea Santos: Sara and I each have our own home studios so we worked together on most of it and separately on some parts. All the instrumentation and vocals were done by us, our brother Micah Forman and thankfully our father Robert Forman contributed a lot to this album and all our previous music before he passed. We created this as a family. Markelor Berthoumieux: “Carry Me” is a soothing record with some thoughtful lyrics. What went into creating that? Andrea Santos: Sara wrote that for her mother-in-law who passed away due to cancer. It’s a song about living life to fullest while we still have the chance. Markelor Berthoumieux: Many songs on the album, “Shine On” especially, have relatable qualities to them. What’s the feedback you’re getting from fans?
Andrea Santos: They’re loving this album because it’s thought provoking and fun at the same time. The reception is exactly what we hoped for. Markelor Berthoumieux: This album was record in an organic setting with a lot of natural sound involved. Was that a challenge to master? Lane Cameron: No at all, Andrea is a talented producer. She came to me with the mixes already done which stood up very well. We worked together to alter what was needed, but her coming with well done tracks and solid input made it way easier. Also, understanding all my software helps me get around most issues.
Andrea Santos: We have a visual coming out very soon for the song “Something Beautiful” that was shot in front of the ‘Believe’ sign in downtown Reno and we will be having events for our new venture called Feed Your Soul, Feed The World. The first event will be on September 7, 2018 at 6:30 pm at Rounds Bakery in Reno for our CD release charity gala where we will be donating canned goods and part of the proceeds from the album. shantishanti.com
Markelor Berthoumieux: Is there anything that stood out to you about their work? Lane Cameron: Their vocals were on point and the international flavor they used made it differ from other pieces I’ve worked on. One thing I really liked about it were the old tracks Andrea pulled up that her father had recorded, I enjoyed working them into what they already had. Markelor Berthoumieux: What’s next for the group?

UNITED WE STONED Text Shay Digenan of Pistil + Stigma
Getting Blunt
About Governors and the 2018 Midterms Voter turn-out in the United States is notoriously low, and the numbers for midterm elections are even more disappointing than presidential election years. Even though it’s a reasonably safe bet that voter turnout will tick up this November, the important elected positions that are decided (and policies indirectly affected by) midterm elections often goes unrealized. That includes our favorite thing to talk about here at Pistil + Stigma – marijuana policy. Both medical and recreational marijuana use and sales have been made legal in several states by ballot initiatives, like Nevada’s Question 2 in November 2016, which made recreational marijuana use legal. However, a “yes” vote on a marijuana measure is rarely, if ever, all that is needed in order for measures like Question 2 to take effect – regulations have to be written and approved, and sometimes, additional legislation has to be signed. Enter the importance of governors, 36 of whom will be either newly elected or reelected in this year’s midterms. To provide a brief overview of just how influential governors can be when it comes to marijuana law, it helps to take a look at the circumstances of a few states as of late: under former Governor Chris Christie (R), New Jersey had one of the most restrictive medical marijuana programs in the nation. Governor Phil Murphy (D), who took office in January after campaigning on full marijuana legalization in the Garden State, has already expanded New Jersey’s medical program 50 Reno Tahoe Tonight
massively with an executive order directed at the Department of Health, and the state is speeding towards recreational legalization. Next door in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) was pressured into changing his long held negative stance on marijuana legalization, arguably by both Democratic Primary challenger Cynthia Nixon’s statements about discriminatory drug enforcement practices and New Jersey’s impending recreational sales, as well as Massachusetts’s recent legalization. In recent weeks, the NYPD has been ordered to stop arresting people for smoking marijuana in public, the Department of Health is expected to release a study endorsing legalization, and Cuomo has said that legal pot is “here anyway” while laying the groundwork for recreational use to become legal. Of course, the power governors have can be wielded in the other direction. Maine was the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana when voters passed Question 1 by a slim margin in the November 2016 election. However, even though the resulting policy called for recreational dispensaries and “marijuana social clubs,” or locations of public accommodation where consumption can take place, efforts to delay sales for as long as possible by Governor Paul LePage paid off. After vetoing bills that would have set the establishment of recreational sales in motion twice, LePage managed to single-handedly delay the sale of recreational product from dispensaries until 2019, at the earliest.
As for Nevada, the upcoming gubernatorial election could have massive consequences regarding whether Nevadans and visitors will have anywhere to smoke their product, as well as how marijuana businesses handle their finances. The Democratic nominee, Steve Sisolak, has voiced his concern with the cash-only structure that dispensaries are currently operating under, citing it as his number one marijuana-related priority. Adam Laxalt, the sitting Attorney General and the Republican nominee, on the other hand, was the only AG from a state that has legalized marijuana to not sign a letter addressed to Congress urging a fix for the marijuana industry’s banking crisis and, despite the fact he didn’t try to block Question 2 from taking effect, was strongly opposed to it before it passed. While neither have offered any concrete plans to implement “consumption lounges” where consumers would be able to smoke, Sisolak did say that he was “very sympathetic” to the plight of tourists who have no place to
consume their cannabis when they visit Nevada since Question 2 only allowed consumption to take place in a private residence. For tourists staying in hotels, this is obviously a serious matter as they are essentially forced to break the law if they actually want to consume the products that they purchase in the Silver State.

Backyard Vacation Getting Away to Tahoe this Summer

S
ure, taking a grand global adventure is exciting and inspirational, but your wallet may thank you if you stick closer to home. Especially since, around here, residents have a sought-after destination right in their backyard: Lake Tahoe. So why not take advantage of it this summer? Two very different getaways exist on opposite ends of the lake, both teeming with historic Tahoe charm, so choose your own backyard adventure while the weather is warm.
For Exhilaration Spanning a crescent-shaped inlet on Tahoe’s southeast shore is Zephyr Cove Resort (ZCR). Once inhabited by the Washoe Tribe, today’s sprawling home to adventure was first developed in the early 1900s. Stay at the current iteration of the resort for a week or weekend, and you’ll return home with as many tales as if you’d gone abroad. Book a quaint log cabin—they have studios plus large multi-bedroom abodes—pitch a tent at their expansive campground or reserve one of their new Airstream trailers for retro-style rooming. First, fuel up at the resort’s restaurant, where views of the lake and trees embrace a stone hearth. Then head for their marina, where you can rent SUPs and kayaks, or, to really get the ol’ adrenaline pumping, procure a jet ski, power boat and wakeboard, or go parasailing. Downtime—plus some excellent drinks and fish tacos—can be found on ZCR’s lengthy span of beach. End one of your getaway days with a sunset dinner cruise on an authentic paddle wheel

boat, the M.S. Dixie II. It’s docked mere steps from the cabins. There’s also a party yacht available for a different sort of cruise. Begin the next day with some horseback riding. Repeat. Fun-filled days are the norm here, no driving required.
For Relaxation On the west shore, near Tahoe City, a peaceful, strollable sanctuary in the trees exists: Granlibakken Tahoe. Today’s 74-acre resort was first developed as the 19th century became the 20th, and is now a prime destination for groups thanks to their enormous array of roomy lodging options, plus conference and wedding spaces. Overnighters also come with an exceptional, diverse breakfast that’s inclusive of special dietary items, but laden with fresh croissants and cinnamon rolls too, all accompanied by organic coffee. There’s a peaceful vibe permeating Granlibakken, brought to life by their wellness events, yoga studio and meditation space. They have yoga on Saturday mornings plus entire “Wellness Weekends”; a year-round sauna, outdoor swimming pool and hot tub; plus the Lighthouse Spa, where blissful massages and other spa treatments help route you to your reverie. Action is found on their tennis courts or Treetop Adventure Park with zip lines and ropes course. You’ll have no problem whiling your days away at Zephyr Cove or Granlibakken. Remember, airfare and long road trips aren’t necessary for a memorable vacation when Tahoe is in your backyard. Natasha Bourlin is a freelance writer with a gypsy soul.
