COFFEE + ART UNITE Raising funds for local Veterans.

unker Coffee Company, artist Shelly Bedsaul and Art Print Express have collaborated on a limited edition fine art giclée commission print which incorporates the Bunker Coffee logo, designed by Shelly and gives the duo a small opportunity to give back to our local veterans. The limited edition release print can be ordered between now and September 7 (Labor Day) for $60. The exact number of prints that are ordered before the deadline will be printed and no additional prints will be made. The 12x12 fine art giclée print on enhanced matte paper will be hand signed by both the artist Shelly Bedsaul and Bunker Coffee Company owner David Palmer. A signing event will be held on Veteran’s Day, November 11, which is when your print will be available for pick up. Of course the event will be accompanied by a bit of celebration. The impetus of the art sale is to garner some funds for local veterans’ programs. “We can be most effective in our own backyard, so a percentage of the profits will go to local organizations,” explained Shelly. This is just the beginning of a series of these collaborations, so be the first to have the first, and look forward to more. aseveneightfive

BEERS NEW RELEASES

SIERRA NEVADA | OKTOBERFEST Sierra Nevada is putting a little more German influence into their seasonal Oktoberfest by partnering with different German brewers each year. Prior to 2014 the seasonal brew was spelled with a C, not K and had an ABV of 5.8%. This year’s seasonal packs an ABV of 6.2% and the inaugural collaboration is with Brauhaus Riegel, a family-owned brewery who has been in business for more than 600 years out of Germany’s Bavaria region. The beer is a darker copper hue than its predecessors. It’s medium-bodied with rich toffee-like malt flavors, but maintains a crisp finish marked by floral and spicy hops. 6

ODELL | OKTOBERFEST

SHOCK TOP | PUMPKIN WHEAT

This year, Fort Collins, Colo.-based Odell Brewing Co. will be bottling its Oktoberfest, a 6.1% ABV marzenstyle lager brewed with Munich malts. The brewery has previously released the beer as a draft-only item, but it will now be packaged in 12-ounce bottles. This lager is for hop lovers and is balanced with the sweetness of Honey and Vienne malts. Nicknamed “Sloth-toberfest” by Odell brewers due to the painfully long time to complete primary fermentation.

A traditional Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with ripe pumpkins and a variety of autumnal spices (nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves). It has a dark orange color and a refreshingly smooth finish. It fully captures all the flavors of fall and fulfills your pumpkin cravings.

NEW BELGIUM | PUMPKICK A pumpkin beer with bit of tartness. This traditionally spiced seasonal ale has an unexpected kick of cranberry juice and a touch of lemongrass which gives it a tart brightness.

UNITA | PUNK’ N Unita Punk’n is a Harvest Pumpkin Ale that does a great job of incorporating pumpkin and spice flavors into the malty based beer without getting too carried away. It remains earthy but is mild enough to entice those who are unsure of a “pumpkin beer” while also maintaining enough pumpkin and spice to keep pumpkin beer veterans coming back. aseveneightfive

HANGING WITH HISTORIANS: the topeka library presents a new way to explore history

n an effort to reach new audiences, and inspire interest in local history, staff in the Topeka Room of the Topeka Shawnee County Public Library is planning a special event. In partnership with the Topeka Community Cycle Project and Topeka Metro Bikes, Topeka Shawnee County Public Library is presenting its first ever historic bike tour. The program, called History Roll: NOTO is a bicycle tour of historic spots located in North Topeka. Experienced bicycle tour guides and library staff will lead it. It will consist of ten to twelve “off the beaten path” historical sites. One staff member said, “We selected lesser-known sites or sites that folks might not have thought of in an historical sense. We just really want to share new and interesting stories about our community.” Library staff will give an in depth historical account at each site. The historical sites range from a beloved park, to

a deep-rooted food manufacturer, to an all-but forgotten elementary school, to the site of a sensational crime. Staff said, “We are really excited about this tour. We see it as an opportunity to step out from behind the desk and get to know our patrons and hopefully inspire their historical curiosity.” The tour is on August 29 at 10a. It begins at Garfield Park and is slated to last three to four hours. The tour is free of charge; all you need is a bike and a helmet. Don’t have a bike? No worries, the Topeka Community Cycle Project and Topeka Metro Bike will provide one for you. There will also be a lunch break where you can mingle and get to know your local history librarian and Topeka Room staff. Preregistration is required. For more information or to register stop by the Topeka Room or call them at 580.4510. aseveneightfive

FROM TOPEKA TO LONDON B WITH LOVE Staci Dawn

ARTIST

y special invitation, Topeka artist Staci Dawn will participate in the Parallax AF at Chelsea Town Hall in London. Her artwork was first noticed on her EBSQ site by event director John Travis, who expressed his interest in including it in the prestigious event, which will bring one of Topeka’s own in front of thousands of art fair attendees. Being the director of Topeka’s Aaron Douglas art fair, Staci knows well the impact an art fair can have on her career. Parallax AF is held in three locations: New York, Miami, and London. “I had the option of showing in any location, but London is a once in a lifetime chance!” explained Staci about her decision to show at the London site. She will be showing several of her digitally painted photographs, which she calls “artography,” featuring the cityscapes and skylines from her “Paint the City” series. Letting her travels guide her art, she explains, “My art is inspired by the world around me, my life experiences, and my mood. Basically, my diary is written in my work; when you purchase a piece of my art, you’re really getting a part of me.” In the near future we can expect to enjoy the additions from this overseas trip to this series.

I’m so blessed to be a part of a thriving art community, one that has led me to...my extended family - without them all I wouldn’t feel whole.

Paint the City Time Square Lights | Digital Artography

Like so many great women in the arts, her plate is full and expanding. She also does everything with enthusiasm and love, as she states, “I am a huge supporter of random acts of kindness. It doesn’t take much to brighten someone’s day. You might find me occasionally buying your lunch in drive through, delivering groceries to the homeless, doing an art drop, or going out of my way to bring a smile to your face. I believe we all have a mark to leave behind; I’m going to spread positivity as much as possible.” Staci has left her mark on Topeka. Along with handling the busy schedule of her art career and directing the Aaron Douglas Art Fair, she published a 2015 catalog of the NOTO artists called “On Display,” and is currently working on a free standing interactive piece in NOTO. She is also a daycare provider, wife and mother of three children. What keeps her so motivated? For Staci it is simple. “As generic as it might sound, my family is the driving force to keep me creating my work. On top of being so supportive of what I do, they have really been my rock for all of my creative endeavors.” She is also looking to inspire future generations. “It’s also very important for me to show my children that you can follow your dreams, you can find a passion, and you can change the world if you put some effort into it.”

However, she credits Topeka and fellow artists right here in our own local arts community for inspiration. “It’s impossible to not admire other artists, working with them on a daily basis, fostering creativity, holding them up while they hold me up, I love and admire them all. I am so blessed to be a part of a thriving art community, one that has led me to the amazing group of artists that I get to work with, my extended family - without them all I wouldn’t feel whole.” aseveneightfive

YUKI

good sushi from local favorite by Kerrice Mapes

ushi isn’t something we typically rave about in the midwest, but when it’s high quality ingredients produced by good chefs in nice establishments, it’s worth our breath. Jason Jeaon, owner and sushi chef of Yuki Japanese restaurant is doing just that. Past sushi seekers will rejoice and remember Jason, beloved chef from Shogun, where he worked before taking about 10 years to study and work in the field of computer science. But when Jason saw the opportunity to purchase the former Sakura, located in Barrington Village shopping center, he jumped at the chance to get back to his passion. The space looks similar to the previous but has new carpet, paint furnishings and vibe. The private serene sushi room allows for guests to sit sushi side or in private tables and abuts the beautiful Tatami room where two parties of four can dine Japanese-style, now with back rests. Their full-service bar offers a variety of wine and beers but their claim to fame will be their plethora of Sake options and their Sake dispenser which keeps them exactly at their correct temps. Diners can also purchase a four-part Sake sampler for just $7.95. On the other side of the entrance and massive fish tank you’ll find six large Teppanyaki tables that accommodate 10 guests each, or up to 20 in a u-shape. As a sushi connoisseur, I was impressed with the the variety of over 30 Makimono, plus their fresh tuna appetizers, sashimi and more. Forget what you might have thought of the previous tenants, this place is new, refreshing and delicious. So grab a friend and have some Sake and sushi tonight and don’t miss their weekday happy hour, 20 percent off Monday through Thursday. aseveneightfive

black and blue music competition / spring 2015 presented by rundown studios

by Noah Neff

n the early months of 2015, bands and solo artists from in and around the area were given the opportunity to sign up for a rather unique recording opportunity.

The chosen artists were given 24 hours to write, perform, and record a song. Doesn’t sound too bad right? Well, here’s the kicker. These musicians were given a list of criteria, a checklist of abstract musical and lyrical cues conjured up from the minds of Jorge (George) Valyer and the staff at Rundown. The following items (listed to the left) would need to be incorporated into the finished product in order to achieve a chance at securing a winning vote from the judges. In the end, ASHLEY REYNOLDS was able to pull off all ten of the criteria items listed and win over the judges with the well-deserved title of Black and Blue Spring Edition 2015 champion. seveneightfive was given the opportunity to chime on the judging, and I feel compelled to emphasize how much of a honor this was. I made sure to not tread lightly with the task. I’ll not speak a word of whom I chose as my favorite, but I will say that all of the artists made my judging process painstakingly difficult. They all deserve to be commended for a job well done. 24 hours translates to a small amount of sand in the hourglass of an artist with a perfectionist’s mind-set. I could see how it would be easy to fold under these circumstances, but all of these musicians pulled it off. I imagine as this contest becomes larger and attracts a wider spectrum of regional artists, I’ll spend more and more time scratching my head during the deliberation process. In fact, I welcome said challenge. Special thanks to all of the judges: Derek Sharp, owner, Supersonic Music and Treehouse Drums. Cameron Hawk, founder of the Lawrence Field Day Festival; played in the bands Podstar, The Dead Girls, Many Moods of Dad and Stiff Middle Fingers. Quinton Cheney, host of “Plow the Fields” on 90.7 KJHK, Lawrence and plays in the band Something and the Whatevers. Eric Melin, former World Air Guitar Champion; played in the bands Ultimate Fakebook and The Dead Girls and is also the creater of Scene Stealer movie reviews.

Genuine east coast cheesesteak with that great steak, onions and cheez whiz combo.”

mr. nice guy’s oakland hot box

by Tricia Peterson | check out TastingTopeka.blogspot.com

’ve found the perfect hangover food: a Philly from Mr. Nice Guy’s Hot Box in Oakland. After a night out, this sandwich is what my stomach needs to recover quickly for the next day ahead.

A small hole-in-the-wall at 2601 NE Sardou Avenue, Mr. Nice Guy’s Hot Box is just that, a little hot box. There are two large booths and one smaller along one wall, and the ordering counter and kitchen on the other wall. That’s about it and I love it. I had tried the Philly Guy once before but only got one measly bite. This time, I ordered the entire sandwich to myself. The sandwich is on a hoagie-style bun and overflowing with beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms and white cheez whiz combo. I began salivating and my tummy rumbled as the waitress delivered my sandwich homage to Philly over. It was love at first sight. (Okay, second sight, but I still loved it the first time.) The sandwich is served with a fork, but I like getting my hands dirty so I threw the fork aside and didn’t stop once when the cheese melted down my fingers and face.

Mr. Nice Guy’s Hot Box That’s what napkins are for. The cheese melts throughout the sandwich and coats the meat and the veggies, but there’s enough that some stays on top, too. It’s ooey, gooey and messy but that’s part of the fun. The peppers are still tender but not crunchy, which helped me as I’m not a huge pepper and onion fan. But they are necessary to complement the meat and cheese in the sandwich. After a night of drinking, the Philly Guy is there to comfort you. It’s not greasy. It’s stuffed with meat (6oz to be exact). It’s the last call you need. And if a Philly doesn’t suit your fancy, breakfast is served until 11a and they have all kinds of pulled pork and barbecue items on the menu. For me, however, I’ll stay faithful to the Philly Guy, every time. aseveneightfive

The company started as a food truck, but soon found a decent space in Oakland. However, it’s residential with little drive-by traffic and a small parking lot that is prohibitive.

FOOD NINJA Panaderia Reynosa 3.8 Fists

y ninja senses are alert and heightened as I enter a world unknown to me. It exudes age and wisdom, a place from long ago but certainly not forgotten. At the height of the morning when festivities are soon to commence in Downtown Topeka, I infiltrate Panaderia Reynosa in Oakland with high hopes and a keen eye…

Atmosphere I approach the unassuming structure with trepidation, as it does not appear to be a bakery. I enter and am immediately greeted by one of the most alluring aromas in existence, fresh baked goods. The bakery has a slight flea market vibe, displaying candies and knick knacks to soda by the bottle or can from an iced cooler. This place brings me back to childhood shops and I am disarmed by it and the smell of pastry.

Menu By default, this category gets full marks. There is no menu; the wares are on display akin to an old world market and I can easily see the offerings. Slightly alarming that none of the pastries are chilled but the shop is cool and conditions are fine for the display.

Food There are almost no better fresh baked goods in the city. These are authentic, delicious, and disarming. They are out of doughnuts today but the remaining wares are plentiful and enough to satisfy even the most seasoned bakery warrior.

Friendliness

Funds

The woman working the counter greets me heartily and directs me to how things work in the shop. She is friendly but direct and ensures I find exactly what I need to satiate a ninja’s hunger.

I am completely defeated by the cost of my selection. I procure a baker’s dozen baked goods and six fresh baked (that morning) tamales for around $13. There is no better deal hands down in this city. I am no match for Panaderia Reynosa and I must retreat to regroup to battle another day. aseveneightfive

A fun, new game park for all ages, serving some of Topekaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best new cuisine. by Boone Smith photos by Ali Hanlon

TRAMPO LAZER ROCK BALL PARK

rampoLazerRockBallPark is just what the Topeka doctor ordered. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and exciting for kids and adults to play, it has something for every age group. It boasts an excellent restaurant and provides an alternative entertainment option. You can learn a lot about its amenities just by breaking down its name.

‘‘

I didn’t know what to expect when I visited the “park” for the first time, but I did not expect to be eating at one of the best new restaurants in Topeka, The Palette.

Trampo

is short for trampolines. There are 5,000 square feet of trampolines for you to bounce on, play basketball on, or just to throw foam balls at your friends, which was my favorite thing to do with my 10-year-old.

Lazer

is short for Lazer Tag, which is yet another major attraction here. For 40 minutes per turn, you can run around in a light vest with a laser gun and shoot at your friends. The 5,000 square foot arena is lit up rather than painted, and there is a second story to provide lots of interesting angles and hiding places. When I visited, this was easily the most popular attraction. They will soon be adding even more guns for an even larger game.

Rock

is for the rock wall, of which there are actually four. Well, all aren’t exactly rock walls, because some have spinning wheels or even a large rope with plastic balls to climb, but all four of them are more than two stories tall. You get yourself harnessed up and begin climbing. I also learned that climbing the four rock walls is great for someone looking to change up their arm routine at the gym.

Ball Park

is for the Basketball game that you can play on the Trampolines. If you’ve ever wanted to dunk on a 10ft goal without a ladder, here’s your chance. must be for everything else that there is to play on, including a soft play area where kids can climb and crawl, not unlike an indoor play-area at a McDonald’s, except on steroids. There is also a zip-line where kids or adults can travel the length of the facility suspended more than 15 feet in the air. Of course there are also arcade games that are specifically chosen for adults and children to both enjoy

that I wanted to play on, along with my 10-yearold son. Wow! When you go for a visit, let the kids play in the Lazer Tag arena for 40 minutes while you and your date have a bite to eat. You won’t be disappointed. “The gem of this business is that it targets everyone from baby toddlers until senior citizens. There’s a space for young people, but it is also fun for adults,” said Tanya.From what I can tell, a lot of thought has gone into opening this business. There is a space set aside for mothers to breastfeed their children. There are conference rooms that can be rented for businesses that want to have meetings there, and there are packages for kids who want to have a birthday party too. In the coming months, Tanya said that a bar is going to be opening up above the restaurant. She walked me around the future bar, and it looks to be for grown-ups only with windows to overlook the main area and the Lazer Tag. Awesome!

Biggest Secret The owner of TrampoLazerRockBallPark is Tanya Hines, and she brings a touch of Miami style to the facility. Tanya was born in Virginia, but has spent most of her life in the Miami, Fla. area, including going to business school there. When I asked her why she wanted to come to Topeka, Tanya said, “I think that Topeka was a blank canvas and was ready for someone to bring a business like this. It is great to be able to start from the ground up.” “Family entertainment is necessary,” Tanya said. “As a consumer, I have spent a lot of time in these places, and decided that Topeka needed one. I went out and traveled the markets with a different set of eyes. I looked at it as a mother, and as a business owner, and it gave me full perspective.” The biggest secret about TrampoLazerRockBallPark isn’t the park itself, however, it’s the restaurant. Tanya wanted to provide a “five star” experience for her restaurant. I tried the Bacon Cheeseburger, which in my opinion is a staple food for a restaurant. If

a dining establishment can’t pull that one off, then they aren’t worth their salt. Well let me tell you, The Palette was definitely worth its salt, and then some. This is one of the best bacon cheeseburgers I’ve had in Topeka. The bacon was cooked to just the right crispness, while the meat was a little pink, just how I ordered it. I was thoroughly impressed!

After one visit, I was sold. It really is fun for all ages, and has a lot to do for families. TrampoLazerRockBallPark is located between Fairlawn and Wanamaker along 21st street, and truly has something fun for everyone. Whether it’s trampolines, Lazer Tag, Rock Walls, the Arcade, the soft play area, or a great bite to eat, you’ll be glad you came, and you will be back with friends. aseveneightfive

Two days later I returned and had a Jalla Poppa burger, which has a variety of ingredients that appeal to someone who wants something a little warmer, including a jalapeno jelly, a cream cheese spread, and some jalapenos julian on top, all for about $10, including a side item. Once again, I was blown away. Some of the items I look forward to trying on future visits include a New Orleans-style shrimp dish, a pan-seared steak, and one of their delicious looking cupcakes. The prices on the menu range from about $4 to about $20 with lots in between. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect when I went into TrampoLazerRockBallPark for the first time, but I did not expect to be eating at one of the best new restaurants in Topeka. I also didn’t expect such a variety of activities 27
