GOING OUT

Pool sharks and novices alike love Palominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chill atmosphere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect place to play pool, ping pong, or even just hang out at the bar. Plus, if you want a break from pool you can hang out at the bar under the stars next door at The Backyard, or grab something to eat at Boca Fiesta.

Sujie Wu is a public relations major at the University of Florida and has an eye for fashion—you have probably seen her weekly “Look of the Day” posts on our blog. This time around, she came to the rescue and shot our November fall fashion shoot, as well as the sunglasses featured in “30 Shades of Fall.” Originally from China, this 23-year-old has always loved photography and doesn’t plan on ever giving it up. Her admiration for the master of the photo-essay, W. Eugene Smith, inspires her to one day create visual stories that capture the lives of people we wouldn’t normally think of.

Boots. Cozy sweaters. Holidayflavored coffee. OK, so yes, we live in Florida—where the temperature never seems to drop below 50° F and flip-flops are a yearround option. A girl can dream, right? Well, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing since our fall photo shoot downtown. On page 48, we prove you can celebrate the seasons in Gainesville. Come to think of it, this issue has almost all my favorite things—a book adapted to a movie, seasonal treats and drinks, a new local lunch spot, a sassy musical movie, a legendary secret agent, a backstage view of a hit play and, of course, clothes. What more could you ask for?

EDITOR’S LETTER

COVER IMAGE by Sujie Wu.

Cool, cultured and chic are just a few words that describe the very ambitious Brittney Mims, who recently graduated from the University of Florida. She is continuing her education in Gainesville by finishing up prerequisites for physical therapy school. Despite her already busy schedule, the 22-year-old modeled our six fall fashion looks with an effortless glamour. An eager soul who was bitten by the travel bug while studying abroad in Italy, Brittney travels on weekends whenever she can. Balancing the tough rigors of school, she still makes time for drumming and having wine Fridays with the girls.

Brittany Ann Morrisey, 21, knows what’s going on in Gainesville a month before it happens thanks to her position as calendar editor here at INsite. The self-described coffee addict is a third year journalism major at the University of Florida with a concentration in economics and says she dreams about one day traveling and writing about the places she visits—but writing about business wouldn’t be too bad either. The Clermont, Fla., native is also a bartender and with it comes her hobby of mixing and inventing new drinks. In this issue, Brittany also wrote the “Fall Flavors Tour.” From the pumpkin-flavored drinks to the cool weather, she hopes that readers enjoy all Gainesville has to offer this month.

GROWL United we Growl is this year’s theme for the University of Florida’s homecoming. Regarded as the largest student-run pep rally in the world, the 89th Gator Growl will kick-off on Nov. 9 at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at 7pm. Headlining artist Josh Turner will melt every girl’s heart with country songs like “Deeper than my Love.” Then Tracy Morgan of comedy series 30 Rock will have you laughing at his standup routine. The Pride of the Sunshine, UF’s marching band, will play, and the Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned. Student performances and skits will keep up the school spirit. Start the festivities off early at the Homecoming Parade that will march down University Avenue at noon. Through a partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project, you can sponsor tickets for a veteran and his or her family. Visit gatorgrowl.org to learn more about how you can honor our veterans and to read more about this year’s events.

HUNT FOR THE

PERFECT GIFT

Don’t get caught re-gifting last year’s sweater from grandma. Attend the largest indoor craft festival in North Florida for a one-stop shopping trip for everyone on your list. The Craft Festival 2012 runs Nov. 24 from 10am to 6pm and Nov. 25 from 10am to 5pm at UF’s Stephen C. O’Connell Center. The annual festival, now in its 21st year, will have more than 250 vendors. “You can find unique items that you couldn’t find in a mall, handmade from artisans from across the country,” says Meredith Palmberg, event support coordinator for the O’Connell Center. “It’s a good way to spend time with the family and look for gifts.” Admission is $4 for the public and $1 with a valid UF student ID. Visit http://www.oconnellcenter.ufl.edu/craftfestival for a discount coupon for admission.

It’s time to start shopping for sweater weather! The Eclectic Co. Vintage & Resale Shop will present “GOSH DARN!”, a home-sewn fall clothing collection on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 7-10pm. GOSH DARN! is a local independent collection by Gainesville seamstress Cori Kate. Each piece of the collection is made of only recycled, salvaged, donated and found fabrics. Go for the fashion and stay to enjoy the music of a local MC and several local musicians. Hors d’oeuvres will be served. Sales will benefit the Price Community Center of North Central Florida (PCCNCF). Check The Eclectic Co. Vintage & Resale Shop’s Facebook page for updates.

The event is free and everyone is invited to enjoy catering from Ballyhoo Grill, networking opportunities by Social Faces Marketing and drink specials at the bar.

1870s

Cane boils were a time for friends and neighbors to gather for work and play on the 1870s Florida farm. Bring the kids and travel back to this time on Nov. 24 at the Morningside Nature Center from 9am to 4pm to experience traditional Florida. Watch the costumed staff cut, press and boil sugar cane juice into syrup. Sample the syrup on a homemade biscuit cooked on a woodstove. Then kick up your heels to the music of the Youth Fiddle and Open String-Band Contest from 10am to noon. Local musician Alan Stowell will offer a free beginnerlevel fiddle workshop at 2pm and musician Jay Gimelli will provide music throughout the afternoon. Syrup will be for sale at the event if production yields allow. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for kids ages 3 to 12. Children under 3 are free. Fiddlers who want to compete in the contest can find registration forms at www.friendsofnatureparks.org.

THIS MONTH AT THE HIPP Last month we had a very bloody Halloween with Carrie, who balanced teen angst and comedy, while touching on contemporary issues of bullying and its effects. This month, the theater continues its 40th anniversary season by getting into an alternative holiday mood with A Tuna Christmas on Nov. 23. The crazy characters from Tuna, Texas, are once again up to their shenanigans. Socialite Vera Carp hopes to win another consecutive victory in the Yuletide lawn display contest, but this time she faces stiff competition from the crusty proprietor of Didi’s Used Weapons and from a pair of cowboy-loving Tastee Creme waitresses. The show features performances by two actors in multiple roles—let the hilarity commence. For those who prefer tradition, A

Christmas Carol will also begin at the end of the month. Both holiday specials will continue through December. Also a part of the 40th anniversary season, the Hipp will launch an extravagant art show and silent art auction called Project 40. The donated art pieces will revolve around the theme “The Hippodrome,” and with this, the theater hopes to expand Gainesville’s cultural growth and development. Of course, don’t forget to check out the Gainesville Art Walk on the last Friday of the month. It features great artists from both the local and national level. Ticket prices for all regular theater performances run from $12 to $30 and can be purchased at www.thehipp.org, or by phone at 352-375-4477.

INTERSCOPE

Ellie Goulding successfully crossed over to the U.S. market this year with the guiding forces of “Your Song” (her Elton John cover), and “Lights,” which now holds a Billboard Top 100 record for longest climb to the top ﬁve. Her clubby pop music is more sensible than that of Lady Gaga, but more ambitious than Katy Perry, making Goulding an appealing alternative to those American staples. Halcyon picks up where Bright Lights left off, but is more dance than instrumental, replacing instruments like piano and guitar with more synths and sampling. The result sounds more like her competition than fans might expect (or like), but despite the sonic changes, the mood is the same, containing feelings of joy and excitement often overshadowed by life-or-death vulnerability. Goulding welcomes listeners to the album with “Don’t

Say A Word,” her voice slathered in reverb as she repeatedly sings the mysterious half-phrase, “If you never said anything.” Other catchy vocal effects are employed to varying degrees on “Only You” and “Explosions,” the former an edgy club song and the latter a slow reﬂection about being afraid to love another. The title track is a highlight, an energetic and moving expression of loneliness. It’s no sophomore slump, but Halcyon never quite reaches the show-stopping level of “Lights.”

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION Janna Pelle ★★★★★ With her ﬁrst solo effort, Shameless Self Promotion, Janna Pelle has taken a half-step forward into the world of pop, or as she calls it, “classical pop.” The result is a nine-song LP of catchy hooks, witty introspective lyrics, and dashes of intermittent swagger and self-doubt. The record has at least four legitimate singles on it, namely “Machine,” “Accessory,” “Down and Up” and “Don’t Really”—songs you could easily see on VH-1’s Jump Start. In fact, Janna has already made some lowbudget-but-fun music videos for these songs that you can watch on her YouTube channel. In perhaps the best song on the album, “Machine,” she boldly declares, “Oh if I want something you better believe that I’ll get it/ Nothing can stop me, oh no, baby I just will not let it/ And if you try to tell me different than you are just jealous/ I’ve got everything I need, now I just have to go sell it.” Later in the song, the UF advertising graduate sings “I’m doing this one for me, not university credit,” while also declaring “I’m working like a machine for you baby/ So no no no no please—don’t you break me.” “Don’t Really” is about being stuck in a relationship, while “Accessory” compares one’s signiﬁcant other to a piece of jewelry. “Universal Law” is a reinvented Half-Step song that looks at relationships in perhaps the most philosophical context of the whole LP. While only remnants of her soulful and bluesy vocals from her Half-Step days remain, they are more than enough to give this fun record enough depth and balance that will more than just carry it into the future. The album is available on Jannapelle.com.

RCA

Just when it seemed like Frank Ocean had taken the reigns in modern R&B, another relative newcomer, Miguel, shows up to steer the genre in his direction. The Californian singer/ songwriter/producer has been trying to make his break since he was 14. Finally squeezing through the cracks in 2011, Miguel climbed the charts with “Sure Thing.” And while his album remained a sleeper, the hit single did more than enough to make his splash in the mainstream. Miguel is making a huge leap with Kaleidoscope Dream, which won’t come as a surprise to those who listened to the trio of Art Dealer Chic EPs earlier this year. Many of those songs made their way to Miguel’s second full-length, an album that clearly separates him from the pack of R. Kelly sound-alikes. As indicated by the cover, Kaleidoscope Dream is cloudy, psychedelic and full of songs that swirl around themselves and the listener.

Lead single “Adorn” opens the album with a beat more or less lifted from Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” but re-imagined for 2012 as Miguel croons, “Let my love adorn you.” In the scandalous adventure “Don’t Look Back,” the narrator’s werewolf-like tendencies cause problems for a potential relationship until Miguel slips into the Zombies’ “Time of the Season” as the curtains close. The title track is a dreamy, dripping love song that overcomes the fact that it’s the same Labi Siffre sample recognizable from Eminem’s “My Name Is.” Miguel is not just some mainstream crossover singer; he’s a true artist.

SHIELDS

GRIZZLY BEAR

★★★★

WARP

Grizzly Bear have become a household name as far as indie rock is concerned. After making big impressions among critics with Yellow House in 2006, the band got a taste of the mainstream after releasing 2009’s Veckatimest, which produced the hit “Two Weeks.” Grizzly Bear’s music is a unique blend of jazz-inspired rock, sensible pop and experimental instrumentation. After devoting a few years to side projects and a movie soundtrack (Blue Valentine), Grizzly Bear return in 2012 with their fourth album, Shields. It’s a beautiful album that ﬁnds the band perfecting their craft rather than trying to out-do themselves. The band’s previous albums have been worlds apart from each other, but Shields takes the most successful characteristics of their previous work to enable a new conﬁdence in the music.

Local DJ: Bill Bryson

The album begins with “Sleeping Ute,” the most aggressive start to any Grizzly Bear album with its loud, clanging guitars and stormy drum ﬁlls. “Speak in Rounds” ﬁnds the guys playing their fastest, invoking some Arcade Fire in a swirl of acoustic guitars and energetic vocals. “Yet Again” is to Shields as “Two Weeks” was to Veckatimest: it’s Grizzly Bear’s version of a mainstream single. It’s almost hauntingly good, as is the rest of Shields—another homerun for the boys in Grizzly Bear.

STAFF BENDA BILILI

WAYLON THORNTON AND THE HEAVY HANDS

Sixto Rodriguez was an artist whose records didn’t sell. But his music struck a chord with young South Africans who opposed Apartheid, and thankfully, his fame caught up with him. The music resonates as much today as it did in its time. Wonderfully intimate and spatial, the tracks are gently psychedelic folk songs that stir and soothe.

Staff Benda Bilili is a band from Kinshasa, DRC. They are handicapped and ride around in scrap-made vehicles that resemble motorized junkyard wheelchairs. Their instruments are equally scavenged. The resulting music has a depth and electricity uniquely conjured by their challenged existence.

Waylon Thornton has had a transformation. The robust young rocker we claim as local, though he and his family live in Lake Butler, has seasoned a bit, as a man and as a performer. Having a son and digging in deep has revealed a new musical maturity, but there still remains the raw wildness of youth.

By John Davisson

DATSIK Datsik and friends are touring around the country for his Firepower tour, which included stops at Tallahassee’s Coliseum and at the Beacham Theatre in Orlando last month. Datsik has grown over the past few years by touring heavily. Now that he is headlining, he has taken an interesting approach toward production. His set up was inside a giant sideways cone and alongside it were projection system covers that surrounded it with splashes of color and undulating imagery. All of the ragers appeared to enjoy it as it added nice visuals to his dubstep-centric music, but it was the bass drops and beats that got them going. And when I say bass, I am talking low thunder that rattled the entire venue. He must have had woofers made out of an otherworldy alloy because the bass was loud, clear and low. He played some of his more well known songs like “Swagga,” “Deviance” and “Firepower,” but they were new remixed versions that he created on the spot. He also mashed tracks together to create new ﬂows. Datsik even did a stage dive in the middle of the set, leaving his cone alone to pump out the beats while he surfed atop the raging crowd.

PORTER ROBINSON AND ZEDD Porter Robinson and Zedd have both toured through Gainesville before, but for their recent show at the Vault they teamed up to give EDM fans a double dose of electronic medicine. I had seen them both do solo sets before and thought it was going to be two solo sets this time. I was pleasantly surprised when they came out together to perform. The production was minimal—just a couple of L.E.D. screens, some colored lights and strobes. There was plenty of energy onstage, with Porter and Zedd mixing and mashing music together. Both are very young DJs signed to Skrillex’s OWSLA label, and they are building their reputations by touring extensively. The chemistry between the two, both at similar points in their career, was undeniable. While waiting to enter the venue, a couple walked up and asked who was playing tonight. When the guy asked what kind of music it was, I said electronic dance music and another guy chimed in that it was neon house music. But as long as the beats are ﬂowing and the fans are dancing, who cares? Porter Robinson and Zedd are pioneers in the new EDM movement. It was great seeing them play together in a small Gainesville club before they move to larger venues.

DELUNA FEST DeLuna Fest was my second beach festival this year (after Hangout), and it was a smaller affair. During the day, I saw Fishbone and Gaslight Anthem on the beach, and Ben Folds Five and City and Colour on a second stage in the parking lot. But the night belonged to Pearl Jam, and they delivered a nice long set for their ﬁrst Pensacola show since 1994. I began my Saturday with some mellower tunes, courtesy of the Silos and The Canvas Waiting, but it quickly got more intense as Jimmy Cliff and Off! were playing at the same time. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and the Joy Formidable and Band of Horses were great choices as the sun set. Saturday on the beach was about the Foo Fighters, though. The Foos brought out Bob Mould for “Dear Rosemary” and a cover of Tom Petty’s “Breakdown.” Dave also sang “Happy Birthday” to Joan Jett. On Sunday, I saw several bands before the sun went down. The Wood Brothers were one of my favorites, bringing some gritty, funky blues-rock to the festival. They sure made a lot of noise for a 3-piece, touching on disparate genres and melding it into a nice stew-pot of material. Following headlining performances by the Foo Fighters is not easy, but Zac Brown Band was up to the task with a set that leaned more toward their rock side than their country side. They closed the fest in style with some intense jamming during songs like “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “Isn’t She Lovely.”

SUPPLEMENT

FOR THAT

—Tony Federic

remember it as if it were yesterday. My awkward, adolescent body dangling from a pull up bar with all my friends and classmates gathered around. In my heart, I dared to hope, but alas, hope wasn’t enough. I grunted and scowled, but didn’t budge an inch. The gym teacher yelled “Next!” and it was time for the next victim. Oh, how far we have come since those days of public embarrassment and shame. Now, the Presidential Fitness Test for kids (now dubbed “The President’s Challenge”) is focused on building healthy lifestyle habits and self-esteem. Measuring aerobic ﬁtness, muscular strength, ﬂexibility and body composition, The President’s Challenge Adult Fitness Test is designed to give you a good picture of your overall health. And, though there are no medals for being the best, you still get bragging rights for having an awesome score.

AEROBIC FITNESS: Get That Heart Rate Up To determine your level of aerobic ﬁtness, you have your choice of either a one-mile walk (which requires you to record your pulse at the end) or a 1.5-mile run. The time it takes you to complete the allotted distance is your score for this event.

MUSCULAR STRENGTH: Strength in Repetition Muscular strength is tested using the YMCA half sit-up (a crunch where you reach your hands towards your heels instead of holding your head) and the standard push-up for males and the modiﬁed (kneeling) push up for females. Both exercises are scored based on the maximum number of repetitions you can complete in one minute.

THERE’S A

FLEXIBILITY: Reach for the Sky (Or Rather, Your Toes) The ﬂexibility assessment is the “sit and reach” test. If you don’t have access to a specialized sit and reach box, you can use a standard yardstick instead. Sit on the ﬂoor with your shoes off and position the yardstick so that the mark for “0” is facing you and the mark for “14” is equal with your heels. Slowly reaching with both hands, see how far you can reach. The number of inches where your hands end up is your score.

BODY COMPOSITION: Body Mass Math Body Composition is evaluated using the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI can be useful for determining disease-risk in some individuals, but it should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, a muscular individual who weighs 200lbs and is 6 feet tall will have the same BMI as a ﬂabby individual who has the same height and weight. To calculate your BMI, you just need to divide your weight (in pounds) by your height (in inches).

CALCULATING YOUR SCORE: Drumroll, Please To see how your score stacks up to the national average, and to learn how to improve your scores, go to AdultFitnessTest.org.

f you want to boost your body composition, performance or overall health, there’s a supplement for that. Unfortunately, not all of them are as effective as they claim and none of them can replace the benefits of proper nutrition and adequate exercise.

In fact, some can be downright dangerous. There’s a short list that passes my inspection—the two most important being a multi-vitamin and fish oil (high in DHA and EPA). I only trust supplements that have been tested (and proven) by years (really, decades) of peer-reviewed scientific research, and I don’t expect them to make up for poor decisions on my part. A supplement, by pure definition, is something that completes or enhances something else. Adding a health supplement to an unhealthy lifestyle only enhances an unhealthy lifestyle. You have to pair the right supplements with the right habits to make a difference on your health. Sites like www.pubmed.gov and the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (www.jissn. com), host copious amounts of published research articles in the category of health, fitness, nutrition and exercise, and they are great reference tools. Talk to your doctor before starting any supplement.

MUSIC BAND PROFILE

TRAN

WHITLEY

ran “the Piano Man” Whitley has come full circle. The Gainesville native has returned to share his experiences spanning five decades as a professional musician, hobnobbing with the likes of the Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Boz Scaggs and Don Felder, and to share his plans for the future. —Greg Allard

Tell us something about the early days.

I grew up in Gainesville playing in local bands like all the young dudes. It started out for fun, glory and money. After I heard The Beatles, it was for fame, more money and to write the perfect song. It seems like an eternity ago, but I must have been 16 and found myself playing at the Keystone Heights Pier in a band called The Sundowners. There was some guy named Tom Petty in the band.

Wow. I’m a big Tom Petty fan. I recall he was pretty good.

Haha. What else do you remember about those early days? Later on I played in a band called Riff, which became known locally for having a fairly sophisticated dramatic rock sound. Apparently, we weren’t as good as we thought, losing badly to the Allman Brothers in a battleof-the-bands at Gainesville High School.

Incredible.

Those were heady days. We all wanted to be better at our music. But you had to practice. You could count on ﬁnding Don Felder (The Eagles) in his bedroom practicing everyday. He and Bernie Leadon (also The Eagles) easily had the best band in town (The Maundy Quintet). It’s funny how you can kind of tell who is going to make it in the music business.

Wow. Sounds like Gainesville was a big part of the musical renaissance of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Gainesville had its moment in musical time. I believe I was part of it. The entire community supported a strong local scene. There were endless free concerts where the air was electric with rock, jazz, fusion, folk, soul, country and all sorts of expressive art. People were tie-dyed and wide-eyed.

Awesome. Before we get to what you’re doing now, it would be nice to hear what you did in those in-between years.

Like many young rockers, I wanted to make more of my music than just playing locally. I launched various campaigns in Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami. I got my chance when famed producer Johnny Sandlin called from Macon, Ga., and asked if I could ﬂy out to play some live dates with Boz Skaggs in San Francisco. I said, “Yes!” Later, I got on a western states tour with a band called Cowboy that was opening for The Allman Brothers. Yep, the same band that had kicked my ass back in my Riff days. Then I played keyboards with a host of bands trying to get record deals, make demos, play showcases and break into the LA music scene. It was tough. At one point I was living in one room with a sink and a window. I had permission to use the facilities in the upstairs apartment. My speaker cabinets became a platform for a foam mattress.

Haha. Things must have gotten better from there.

Eventually things improved and one day I had to decide whether to accept a gig with Jackson Browne or go on the road with a new band called “Kimo Sabe.” Maybe I should have gone with Browne because Kimo Sabe quickly broke up. But, that’s the music business. I started getting the urge to play live music again. I rounded up the usual suspects (musicians) in my area and put together The Tran Whitley Music Experience. The show was called “A Brief History of Pop Music” and provided me a vehicle to play many styles of music and offer a bit of background and content. From that act came the notion that a piano-based show would be a bold step forward. To get there I ﬁrst needed to acquire a whole new skill set. So I spent some time in a dueling pianos act at the Jersey Shore, Myrtle Beach, S.C., and South Florida. That effort evolved into my current piano-based show and brings me full circle back to my roots and a place to keep doing what I love.

Tell us more about that.

I am back in Gainesville to share the area I grew up in with my lovely wife, Ruth. We have written a show called Tran “The Piano Man” Whitley, an upbeat rockin’ piano-based ﬂoorshow built around a baby grand piano and me singing and playing favorite songs.

Aside from the obvious Billy Joel reference, what does the moniker “piano man” mean to you?

To me, the original piano man was a guy stuck in a lousy gig in a bar obligated to play requests—with low pay and no glory. I’d like to think Joel elevated the concept to “here’s what I can play; how do you like me now?” I’m guessing he had a gig in that bar I imagined.

Tell us about your gigs.

We’ve performed the show at Sweet Mel’s, The Smoke House and The Library at Market Street with plans for a permanent show at the appropriate local venue. I want to make downtown venues a destination for people looking for a good time in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I simply want to play everyone’s favorite song and put a smile on as many faces as possible.

THINK FAST

Favorite restaurant in Gainesville: El Indio. Brown bag it, sit there on the patio and you’re all set. Favorite food: Whatever my wife is making for dinner! Favorite hobby or pastime: Cable News. Give me a triple split screen with CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. Favorite recent movie: Not recent but Coraline. Favorite all-time band or artist: Impossible to say— but I’m astonished at the work of Queen.

STAR POWER

BY THE BOOK:

keira knightley

talks Anna Karenina

laying a classic literary heroine is nothing new to Keira Knightley, who has already conquered the role of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. We talked to Keira about her latest role as Anna Karenina, the sexually obsessed tragic babe of the classic Leo Tolstoy novel. —Prairie Miller You look lovely in that outfit today.

Oh, thank you. That’s very kind. The hem comes down tight on the skirt, which is really annoying. I can’t actually walk in it, because it’s too small at the bottom.

So why wear it?

Who knows! I put it on and I thought... Not practical!

OK, on to movies. Did you feel like you disappeared into your character as Anna Karenina? I did, yes—which was quite exhausting—it’s Anna Karenina!

Is she still with you in a way?

With particular ones, they really stay with you. The way that we shot it, and the way we made it and everything, it was very difﬁcult to shake her off at the end of the day. So I deﬁnitely didn’t want to have to go into another one straight away where I couldn’t shake the character off. I thought, that is the path to madness!

Anna Karenina breaks out of the mold of the classic story into unconventional drama. Was it scary for you to explore uncharted territory?

Yes, but I think any role is intimidating. This one was almost as frightening as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride And Prejudice. Women see themselves as Elizabeth Bennet. They want to be Elizabeth Bennet. I wanted to, when I was a kid. So Elizabeth Bennet was a character that people loved. But with Anna Karenina, people don’t want to be her. But that didn’t make her any less frightening.

The dancing in the movie is pretty strange, too. Did it take long to learn those moves?

I think we were rehearsing it for about a month. And we were doing a lot of improvisation.

Your love life is really hot in the movie. What turns you on off screen?

I love when there’s an obsession with music. Completely obsessed. I’ve always been attracted to people who love anything that much. But particularly music.

www.MYGAINESVILLERESTAURANTS.com

How about you?

I like it, but I’m not that kind of obsessive. I can sit in a room and be silent. I’m not one of those people, but I’ve always loved people who are. And I do remember actively disliking music when I was in my teens.

Why?

I completely remember the moment. When I was eleven, I wanted to still play games. And my two best friends wanted to go to Ben’s, and listen to music. I found that music had taken away my childhood! And my best friends. It was almost like I actually resented all of it, for that reason. It took me to when I was in my early to mid-twenties, to really start listening to it and getting into something on my own.

Is there anything you wouldn’t do for a movie?

If the role isn’t good enough, I’m not going to take it, you know? But, as I’m getting older—I’ve been offered some things recently, and I suddenly went, if a daughter of mine watched me doing that, I would feel really ashamed of myself. I mean it more in a kind of feminist way. Going, ‘Is that part good enough? Or is this a character that just turns up and takes her clothes off?’ I don’t want that to be what women do in ﬁlms. I want it to be more than that. So I suppose that’s what I wouldn’t do.

Is there a method in the way you choose roles?

It’s very instinctive. I don’t know what I’m looking for beforehand. I literally can’t. Because I don’t know what it is that I want to do next, until I ﬁnd it. If somebody said to me, what’s your dream role, I wouldn’t be able to answer that. I really don’t know. But as soon as I read something, I know that’s it.

What do you see in your future?

Anna Karenina was so dark, I really can’t go from one dark one into another dark one. I can’t do it. So right now I need something that’s positive, as opposed to these big tragedies—which I love doing, and I think probably are my favorite things to do. But they do kind of take something out of you.

Is there anything you won’t miss about Anna Karenina? You do Anna Karenina, and it’s a good two and a half hours getting ready every single morning. But with others, you come in half an hour early, and they cover your zits. And that’s it, really, which is great.

G ONLY IN GAINESVILLE

s all lost when it comes to the craft of a single-bladed shave? Once a weekly ritual for generations of men seeking a good haircut and a good conversation, visiting the barber still holds its appeal for thousands of guys in Gainesville who choose to go old-school rather than visit a salon. The styles may change over the years, but the loyalty between a guy and his go-to barber still stands strong. The relationship between a man and his barber can range from sports bar buddies to silent understanding, and local barbers have all had their fair share of stories roll through their chairs.

—Caitlyn Finnegan

CHIP RATLIFF ATHLET IC CUTS

I’VE BEEN CUTTING HAIR FOR 35 years. I was born and raised in Gainesville and both my mom and my dad were hair stylists. THE WORST PART OF THE JOB IS when you miss movies because someone walks in at the last minute wanting a cut. MY MOTTO IS “Cut it the way you want it.” If someone isn’t sure of what they want, I’d rather not cut it. I don’t do things off the cuff. A POPULAR CUT RIGHT NOW IS the Muschamp. I’d describe it as a business man’s cut. ONE OF THE BIGGEST LESSONS I’VE LEARNED IS when someone sits in your chair, you never know what you’re going to get. PEOPLE APPRECIATE all the pictures and memorabilia we have in our shop. I’ve got boxes more of it in the back. A GOOD BARBER IS patient. They have to take the time to figure out what someone wants. They have to have work ethic. And they have to love cutting hair and talking with clients. MOST INTERESTING CLIENTS ARE coaches and athletes. Steve Spurrier came here, Urban Meyer came here, and now Muschamp stops in. Even Coach Donovan gets his hair cut here. I’ve had five Heisman candidates come through my shop. I like to consider my shop like the Field of Dreams, “if you build it, they will come.” That’s what my shop has been to me. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD SCHOOL BARBERSHOPS AND THE ONES NOW It’s a lot harder to talk with people. Conversations in the past were more wild and open. Now all this technology is in the way. But we still fling it. I like to call it a Free Speech Shop. Religion, politics―it’s all allowed. THE CRAZIEST REQUEST I EVER GOT WAS a woman with a mohawk who wanted us to shave all the hair on either side of her head with a razor. It was definitely out of the ordinary. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BARBERSHOP AND A SALON I think salons are more open-minded and able to adjust to modern trends. That’s why you see more barbershops being phased out. MY JOB IS to enhance your looks. Also to offer a place to share ideas, not gossip.

SEAN MILLER CAMPUS CUTS

I’VE LEARNED THAT men are deﬁnitely more loyal than ladies when it comes to their stylists. We even have customers that will plan their haircuts around when they come up for games. THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY OF A GOOD BARBER IS personality. Haircuts are inconvenient for men, and cutting hair can get boring. Nothing annoys me more than someone who doesn’t want to talk. I want their experience to be fun. BEST PART OF THE JOB IS all the people. Worst part of the job is people bringing their personal problems into the shop. Sometimes you have to be a psychiatrist. A GOOD BARBERSHOP should be friendly and have a comfortable atmosphere. I like to treat everybody like I’ve known them for 10 years. UNUSUAL REQUESTS seem less unusual the longer you work. I’ve had someone want the Miami Dolphin’s logo shaved into his head, and I used to get a lot of requests for UF logos. I also had a kid who asked me to shave the top of his head bald so he could dress as his teacher for Halloween. He ended up getting suspended for two days—the teacher didn’t think it was as funny as we did.

DAVID RATLIFF COLEN’S HAIR STYLES

OUR BARBERSHOP was the ﬁrst uni-sex barbershop in Florida. We still have a girl barber now.

I STARTED CUTTING HAIR WHEN I was 17 years old. Before that I washed towels and helped keep the shop clean while I learned how to run one.

THE DEAL WITH BEARDS IS Guys don’t like shaving. Growing a beard is an easy way out of that.

STARTING TO SEE A LOT OF ﬂat-top haircuts. Hairstyles are always rotating back around.

THE MAJORITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE returning customers. Some of them have been coming to us so long that I can start cutting their hair as soon as they sit down because I already know what they want. If they want something different, they have to tell me before they sit down.

THE GREAT PART ABOUT THIS JOB IS that it brings in all different types of people. Haircuts are a great equalizer.

THIS JOB has never felt like a job to me. THE BARBERSHOP IS the one place where there is no discrimination. Everyone is always ragging on each other; it’s a fun workplace. I try to make everyone laugh at least once before they leave.

www.insitegainesville.com

THE OLD BARBERSHOP MENTALITY IS starting to make a comeback. I’m seeing a lot more people go to school to become a barber. Even though our culture has changed a lot, guys will always have their rituals. MOST INTERESTING CLIENT WAS Tim Tebow. His haircut was highly requested while he was here; it’s a simple cut. BEING A BARBER is all I want to ever do. It’s a fun way to make a living.

MIDNIGHT CATCH

orman Gilliland lived most of his life in Gainesville and was always intrigued by the small town’s deep history—which we see in his new novel Midnight Catch.

—Natalia Sieukaran

We got a chance to speak with Norman, who now lives in Middleton, Wis., about the mysteries of Gainesville and how it fueled this small town mystery. How did growing up in Gainesville provide a basis for the story? I’ve always been fascinated by the way people and places were before I first encountered them. When we moved to Gainesville we lived in a house built in 1933 and I often wondered what the house and the street—Palm Terrace by name—were like back in their early days. In 2005, I published a novel called Sand Mansions set in and around Gainesville from 1876 to 1905, based closely on the colorful events of those years and told in flashback from 1929. For Midnight Catch I wanted to focus on some of the same characters during just the last three months of 1929. You took such a defining period in American history and set it in a small town. Why? Well, I get claustrophobic in big cities, and there’s something appealing about the contrast between the innocence of a small southern college town and what goes on in the woods and waterways around it. Pom Holliman kind of represents that contrast with his friendly, helpful approach to everyone, which becomes darker and darker as he gets deeper into the circumstances surrounding the murders. You might call the genre of Midnight Catch “small town noir.” It seemed like all these major events kept coming up and kept the story going—how did you make sure to solve everything? As the story developed, I realized that in their efforts to put the murders behind them, the Hollimans and the Wards are constantly getting drawn back into the crime. For example, when Rex throws his attention into his radio, he’s unwittingly sucked back into the very thing he’s trying to get away from. Same with Pom. The book’s a little unusual in that the people “solving” the mystery are doing so unwittingly until the eleventh hour and, at the end, you have to think for a minute to figure out who knows the whole story. But you can be sure that the mystery comes with a sensible solution. You can do that in a small town setting; have everyone closely and unknowingly connected without relying upon coincidence. How did this type of story come to you? And the characters? I got the initial idea so long ago that I’m not sure how it first came to me. Early on, I had a vision of the final deadly confrontation on Palm Terrace, and I worked back from there. As for the characters, some of them we meet in Sand Mansions and watch them develop over the years. In Richard’s case, I was interested in contrasting him with one of the major characters in Sand Mansions, John Howard, who was a wheeler-dealer and something of a womanizer, who also had a well-buried sense of honor. But Richard has the advantage of a stable family.

What writers do you look to for inspiration? I like the blunt vividness of Cormac McCarthy’s Border trilogy, but there’s only one documented instance of humor in all of his writing. My style developed from every good and bad book I’ve ever read. You either learn what to do or what not to do. Having said that, if you’re middle class, middle-brow and Middle West, how can you ever get very far from Mark Twain—and why would you want to? He had the precise powers of observation of a journalist combined with an irrepressible sense of humor. How would you describe the importance of location in the novel? My number one goal in a novel is to show how the limitations of the times and the place affect the aims of the character. Midnight Catch couldn’t have happened anywhere

else. A lot of the ambiance of the book comes right out of the Gainesville Daily Sun headlines and back page stories from the fall of 1929. In fact, that’s where the whole rumrunning plot comes from. UF provides this big contrast to the skullduggery. And, it turns out that a certain UF faculty member is not so innocent. Sand Mansions ends with the coming of UF to Gainesville in 1905, an event that affects the lives of some of the characters in big ways. It was inevitable that we’d get a glimpse of it again in 1929. [Spoiler alert!] Two major turning points come during the homecoming parade. Any tips for our readers? From the get-go, I conceived a series of four Florida books—Sand Mansions, Midnight Catch and two others—one set in 1943 and the other in 1957. Each will be different genre—a historical novel, a murder mystery, a torrid romance and a picaresque comedy. I hope I can pull it off!

WE READ IT: MIDNIGHT CATCH

et in autumn back in 1929, Midnight Catch by Norman Gilliland sends readers to the Depression era of political radicalism, speakeasies and underground black markets—right here in Gainesville. The novel ﬂings readers into a post-murder scene stumbled upon by the teenaged Rex Holliman. The young 13-year-old is terriﬁed and haunted by the scene, both in his daily life and dreams. His mind is distracted, but not quite put to ease, when northerner Jim Rhodes comes into town with radical ideas that challenge the American bourgeoisie’s capitalistinduced ideas. His folksy tunes and diddles make him popular with the local radio station and he’s soon dubbed The Shirtsleeve Troubadour. But his outspokenness makes some townsman uncomfortable. Rex’s dad, Pom, gets involved in the affairs of Richard Ward, a real estate broker in serious debt, which sends him into a quarry of rum-running deals and detours all over Gainesville and North Florida as he tries to acquire the money he owes to the “Collector.” Little do they know that all of their lives are tied

together in small ways in this small town, which they only begin to realize as the events unroll. Their lives are jerked around into a sick game caused by the economy of the time and they refuse to play it. Norman’s prose is sweet, clean and economical—his Hemingway-esque style captures the deﬂated feelings and irrational natures that may have arisen out of the Great Depression. Readers are given historical commentary in addition to this gripping thriller. Part of the fun in Midnight Catch is in recognizing the locations of their road-running escapades set along the familiar roads of University Avenue, Archer and the deep, dark Millhopper. The bristles of the woods and an older Gainesville are brought alive on the pages of Norman’s novel. And references to the once-called Fighting Gators and homecoming parades offer a glimpse into the town’s history. Midnight Catch is like game with no rules, other than to keep going—a rule that temptingly invites readers into this dark world.

GAINESVILLE HOUSE OF BEER

19 W. University Ave.

Gainesville House of Beer has included several pumpkin ales in their ever-rotating 40-draft selection. This year they are providing Pumpkinhead Ale in the can and on tap, and Smashed Pumpkin Ale in the bottle from Shipyard Brewing Co. They also have UFO Pumpkin in the bottle from Harpoon Brewery. Also on tap: Blue Point Mother Pumpkin and Cigar City Brewery’s Good Gourd Pumpkin. With so many beers to choose from, ﬁnding the right one can be a little daunting. But just ask Gainesville House of Beer bartender A.J. Gil, 31, and he’ll guide you to the perfect one. And if you ask him about his favorite, he’ll tell you Shipyard Brewing Company’s beer because “it’s a little spicier and has more of a pumpkin pie feel to it compared to Mother Pumpkin.” However, “Good Gourd is probably the most highly regarded in the beer community,” he says. Tip! Follow House of Beer on Twitter at @ gainesvilleHOB to stay up-to-date with what beers are available.

MAUDE’S CLASSIC CAFÉE 101 SE 2nd Place

Maude’s Classic Café has caught fall fever, offering flavors of pumpkin spice to cinnamon apple. Stop by for a gingerbread cupcake with maple icing and cinnamon sprinkled on top paired with their pumpkin spice dripped coffee made—not from adding syrup, but—using pumpkin flavor-infused coffee beans. Barista and baker Meredith Kite, 27, says her favorite treat is the vegan pumpkin crumb cake with a hot apple cider. And, the bonus of getting your pumpkin coffee fix at Maude’s is being able to sit outside and enjoy the fall breeze on their patio. If you’re not a java fan, they also have a cinnamon apple spice tea and a chai latte. Tip! Keep checking back, because they will offer other desserts as the season progresses.

KARMA CREAM 1025 W. University Ave.

The best time to stop by Karma Cream is when their pumpkin spice donuts have just come out of the oven. Grab one while they’re still hot

and pair it with a pumpkin beer ice cream ﬂoat. The treats shop is well known for its creamy, sweet vegan ice cream and they do not disappoint when it comes to fall, offering nutmeg and pumpkin pie ice cream, too. “I really do have a sweet side for a pumpkin mudslide cupcake,” says co-owner Payal Patel as she sprinkles tiny chocolate kisses into cupcake batter. She suggests a white chocolate mocha with a pumpkin spice donut because the lightness of the pastry balances the heaviness of the latte. With a double-layer pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin mudslide cupcakes and seasonal lattes (try the maple spice), you’ll leave this little shop fully satisﬁed.

COFFEE CULTURE 2020 NW 13th St./3822 W. Newberry Road

Dusky skies and autumn breezes, with hazelnuts, warm cinnamon and cool white chocolate all blend together in Coffee Culture’s Autumn Twilight latte. “It’s just a really awesome flavored drink,” says barista Andrea Szao, 22. “Usually I don’t like flavored drinks but—for a flavored drink—it’s just really balanced and delicious.” Pair the latte with their vegan carrot cake for a truly sweet dessert. Or try their twisted pumpkin latte. It will surprise you with its dash of sweet caramel. They also offer a candy caramel apple latte that is flavored with apple and drizzled with caramel sauce. Experience all of these drinks hot, iced or frozen at either location and take advantage of the outside seating.

THE MIDNIGHT CAFE AND BAR 233 S. Main St.

If you’re in search of a good fall beer and a hearty meal, The Midnight Café and Bar is the place. The chef suggests pairing the Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale with their Sloppy Joe. The combination of the light, smoky, chocolate-coffeetasting brewski with the sweet BBQ Sloppy Joe will delight your taste buds. Subject your senses to a creamy Terrapin Pumpkinfest beer with their creamy mac ‘n’ cheese. The bar also provides Sam Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin Ale in the bottle and Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale on draft. Not a hops and barley fan? They have Woodchuck Hard Cider, too.

GAINESVILLE GRUB RESTAURANT REVIEW

R E N R CO

t’s here! The place on the corner to get your morning café con leche! A place to read the paper and treat yourself to a real guava pastry while you start your busy day. A chance to satisfy your appetite for world ﬂavors, feel at home with old favorites, and dine where borders meet. Corner is not your usual Gainesville Latin dining experience. The Latin Confusion restaurant is ahead of the tide, as it builds ﬂavor bridges, takes modern turns and excites your tongue with fresh ingredients and a strong base of tradition. —Story and photo by Megan Alfaro

Flavor Corn-er

Corn is traditionally the common denominator of Latin dishes, from the corn in your tortilla chips to the corn in your Arepa. Generations of corn cooked at your abuelita’s echo in Corner’s kitchen. Owner Leonor Antoni passionately expressed her mission and the meaning behind the new restaurant’s name. Located on one of the most popular corners in Gainesville (some things are just meant to be), Corner is, by deﬁnition, where borders meet. Each dish has the traces of signature American, world and traditional Latin ﬂavors fused together to form a new Gainesville blend.

Changing the Game

Venezuelan Leonor Antoni, the owner, lived in Ocala for the past 10 years before relocating to Gainesville. She entered culinary school in Miami and walked away with a degree to back up her lifelong passion and expertise. Her mission is simple, “I want to create a place for everyone to experience a new concept in Latin fusion,” she says. Corner is considered Latin Confusion: ‘con’ means ‘with’ in Spanish, and fusion is a marriage of ﬂavors. Each dish is a unique experience

with a chic modern twist of ingredients. The atmosphere is clean, engaging and bold and invites you to try something new world with something old world.

Modern Arepas

The standout menu item would have to be the arepas. They span three groups: Las Latinas, Las U.S.A and Las World. If you’ve had an Arepa it probably was a Latin experience, but at Corner, there is a modern twist to the dish that begs for your taste bud’s attention. Las U.S.A Arepas include signature American sandwiches packed into a corn-based patty, made fresh twice daily, and provided with tortilla chips. If you have a craving for your favorite BLT ($6), grilled cheese ($6) or chicken salad ($7), this is your menu section! However, the star dish would have to be the Rueben Arepa ($7). Filled with homemade sauces, it’s a sandwich that any foody would not be able to resist. Las World Arepas consist of ﬂavors from all over such as panang ($7), a red curry chicken arepa. The arepa menu touches on each ethnic background in a way that no one’s taste buds will be left behind, and everything is wrapped in the Latin arms of corn.

Baked

Leonor was excited to provide morning pastries, especially in a town where you have great food markets such as Wards and Fresh Market. Searching for the best guava to ﬁll the traditional Cuban guava pastry was more difﬁcult than she expected. The solution? Leonor brought in her own pastry chef and baked it fresh daily. Leonor felt the need to give her customers quality over quantity, even down to that little guava pastry with your café con leche ($1.50). Once you have a bite of the authentic, sweet, thick, fruit paste you’ll know why.

Community Bites

Corner’s dining experience is intended to bring a diverse crowd of people for an innovative and well-thought out palette of food; a place to feed not just customers, but a community. And though the star dishes are fused with worldly flavors, classic Latin dishes like the pork arepa ($7), tostones ($2), Cuban sandwich ($7) and the sweet dessert dish flan ($2.50) round out this menu’s Latin roots. Corner introduces a menu that invites people of all cultural food backgrounds to redefine Latin fusion. There’s much more to explore on the Corner, so drop in and have a bite.

ummer is behind us, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to put your sunglasses in storage. Few things can complete a look or add a pop of color like a stylish pair of shades, and this fall you can accessorize to the fullest with all different shapes, sizes and colors— without breaking the bank. Snag these statement shades without even leaving the city limits.

THE LITTLE BLACK SHADES

WOLFGANG

THE ECLECTIC CO.

Looking to unleash your inner Rachel Zoe? Look no further than these black stunner shades. Sunglasses may come in all shapes and sizes, but black frames are one trend that never go out of style. These black shades evoke a classic feel, so channel the sophisticated look like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the Boho chic look of the Olsen twins or a little Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS 12

WOLFGANG

A CLEAR PERSPECTIVE If you’re more into calling attention to the frames of your sunglasses than the lenses, try clear sunglasses that can be worn inside or out. If you want to go for a chic intellectual look, try clear readers that you can rock inside or out. However, don’t skimp on the UV protection, because guarding your eyes should be the ﬁrst priority.

THE VINTAGE EFFECT

VINTAGE VERSACE

STYLE

Denim is a staple for every season, and this fall you can mix and match a bold and colorful pair of sunglasses with a denim vest or jacket. Although fall typically calls for darker colors, our Florida climate and atmosphere means you can get away with wearing bright colors all year round. If you’re a person who typically shies away from neon colors, accessorizing with sunglasses in bright shades can be the perfect way to incorporate some funk into your ensemble.

VINTAGE FENDI

If you’re the kind of person who has to have a label on the side of your sunglasses, try Persona Vintage. The store carries name brand vintage shades at half the price of the brand new ones. Vintage shades are unique and more reasonable than buying off the rack, too. They often give you an old Hollywood feel that will make any outﬁt that much chicer. All from Persona Vintage Clothing & Costumes

THE CAT EYE 60

VINTAGE YSL

With the revival of Cat Woman in the theaters over summer, the trend of all things feline continues, and what better way to embrace it than with cat eye sunglasses? Cat-eye shades are perfect for women with high cheekbones. Whether you’re more into vintage styles or a hint of modern, you can ﬁnd sunglasses to match that will add some drama to your look.

For all you glamour girls, few things say style better than black and white shades. And, if you’re the kind of person who wants to make a ﬂashy statement with your sunglasses, a little bedazzling will be your best friend. Just remember not to go overboard, because a few rhinestones go a long way.

Behind the scenes:

FALLING FOR FASHION AT THE HIPP

t was a one of those rare, cool evenings in Gainesville when the INsite team arrived at the Hippodrome Theatre and waited at the front steps for the model, Brittney Mims, to arrive. As she walked up the white steps of the classic Greek-columned Hippodrome, with a slight wind breezing through her locks, we were already picking our favorite outfits from a collection of fun fall trends courtesy of Wolfgang and INsite’s assistant editor Megan’s Bermuda Dream online company. A mix of accessories from Megan and Brittney’s closets completed the outfits. It was a classic, yet modern, moment. That’s what fashion does at times, it takes the old and reworks it for the modern—a concept that ran through theses six looks, styled by Megan, for this fall fashion shoot. The Hipp’s waiting room was, unofficially, transformed into a dressing room, and Brittney zipped in and out of the bathroom in each new outfit with vigor as Megan cleaned up each look with a tuck here and there. When we shot our recreated Versace look in front of the fountain, it exuded old Paris. Our fusion of modern Italian fashion and classic Parisian culture was our way of

creating an old-meets-new fashion moment. As seems to happen in life, a lot of our best moments were spontaneous. Like when we were in front of Sakura Sweets. It was unanimously decided to have a cupcake accompany the cutout dress. When Megan bounded into the shop, she came out with not just a cupcake, but a Euro-cool cappuccino cup and saucer, courtesy of Sakura employee Daniel. After quite a few trips up and down stairs (and some lightning-quick outfit changes), we were done. And just in time, too. People were already arriving for the Hipp’s most recent hit, Carrie, which started moments after we packed up. As Brittney was changing back into her every day outfit of a black tank top and jean cutoff shorts, we chatted about fashion, life and (fun fact) found out that we both did drumline in high school. The 22-year-old model explained that her modeling career began when her friend, a Gainesville Fashion Week intern, asked her to come out to the event. Since then, she has fallen in love with modeling. (Just as we’ve fallen in love with the six fall looks you can find on page 48!)

ou could hear the criticisms and corrections during practice for Dance Alive National Ballet’s Phantom show. The ‘one, two, three’ as Kim Tuttle, artistic director and choreographerin-residence, turns off the music and counts the beats while the dancers practice their routines. Kim sometimes interrupts to correct or regain focus. The slim Russian couple flirts in the wings with a grace and foolishness that can only be intermingled in ballet, and one local high school student lays in a split on the floor, propped up on her elbows, reading her textbook for tonight’s homework assignment. Judy Skinner, the director of grants and art education programmer and choreographer, leans over and boasts, “She’s 15. And she knows all the steps.” On October 19, the discipline was rewarded, the foolery forgotten, and the pirouettes, pliés and jetés were mastered for the production of Phantom. But before the ensemble performance, we got the chance to sit in on rehearsal and watch the intensity the dancers directed to mirrors instead of hundreds of faces in an audience. Each scene was still a work in progress rather than a perfected and mastered piece of art. This production featured the same storyline often seen in other musical renditions, especially The Phantom of the Opera. Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, the storyline remains the same, as Christine, a fledgling performer, is tutored and pursued by a phantom of the venue where she performs. Kim made the performance her own by changing a few details

while keeping the art and messages the same. During practice, as the rest of the company warmed up, stretched or danced their respective pieces, one slight brunette stayed laying down, stretching, raising and lowering her leg, rotating her foot in and out and switching sides to lift and lower from another angle. This is Reka Guylia, who danced the prestigious role of Christine, the phantom’s love interest. After a knee

When not on stage, she spent most of the practice time doing physical therapy exercises to maintain strength in her knee. “She works constantly to remain strong,” says Judy. “She’s very disciplined, working on her own at all hours.” Phantom alone boasted the appearance of Russian, Hungarian, Brazilian and American performers, a testament to the prestige of the company. Andre “Andy” Valladon, who is Brazilian, says the multitude of nations represented doesn’t affect the performance, though it sometimes affects the practice. He pulls two Brazilian

dancers aside, making gestures about their steps in Portuguese as they mimic his form. Kim reminds him, “Andy, that doesn’t help; we can’t understand you.” “Oh, but this is for them,” he responds. “We speak Portuguese among us,” says Andy. “The Russians do the same in their own way. But the language is ballet. We all speak the same; it is easy to understand.” Even facial expressions fall secondary to the language of the body. “When you dance, it’s different,” says Andy, who plays the phantom. “It’s more about your body speaking. There are no lines.” This ﬂuidity in communication served the audience well for the Phantom. The performers made their emotions and movements so charged with energy that the audience could not miss the longing, the innocence or the evil behind the characters’ actions. Andy relishes the complexity of his character and the grip of the emotions that he must show in dance through his character. “I enjoy playing this role because the phantom is iconic. He is the beauty and the beast inside himself. He chooses the wrong means to achieve the right end.” As we watched practice and Andy explained his character, the music bounced from the expected instrumental music rich with instruments to a rocky ballad. “The whole music mixture is kind of crossed,” explains Judy. “Even the costumes are diversiﬁed, although they tend to be more period pieces,” says Kim. Yet any differences of costumes and music, or even language barriers, faded when audiences were presented with the beauty and power of Phantom.

DEKE SHARON: The Key to Movie Magic

itch Perfect had everyone singing praise for the charming a cappella story. We got to chat with musical director Deke Sharon—the father of contemporary a cappella—about his musical background, his new book, A Cappella Arranging, and what it was like behind the scenes of the box office hit. —Aliza Bresnick

What drew you to a cappella?

I always loved being at summer camp and hearing someone improvise a harmony to a simple pop song. And I was actually one of the Tufts Beelzebubs, a group I later joined as a music director at Tufts University. They came to my high school all the way from across the country because I was living in San Francisco, and they were from the Boston area. They came and sang at my high school and it just changed my life. I was like what is this? This is the greatest thing in the world! Up on stage and there was all this energy, all these sounds, layers of voices and the audience—I mean I just looked around and the entire high school was going bananas. This was back, a while ago—the early ’80s. I was in the quartet in the music band my freshmen year and then kept that going through all of my lunch hours for the next four years. We’d be a little barbershop and we’d sing a little doo-wop. I just started to arrange music then and tried to make it work.

What makes writing a cappella music so different from other types of musical composition, and what’s most rewarding about it? There are a couple of things speciﬁc to a cappella. One of them is that each person can only create one sound at a time with very rare exceptions so it’s not like writing something for a rock band because if you’ve got guitars, keyboards or whatever all of these instruments can make multiple sounds at once. It gets really exciting and interesting because while a voice can only make one sound at a time, it’s actually able to create a wider range of sounds than any instrument and it’s also able to span musical styles in a way that instruments really can’t. I mean, you can sing popular songs and then kick into modern, heavy metal, lead guitar, rock or dubstep madness within a breath. There’s great variety and versatility that can happen within a cappella.

As seen in Pitch Perfect, a cappella can really merge different genres and different eras. Are there any particular artists who inspire you or whose music you particularly enjoy as a cappella?

I’ve always been seeking out different kinds of music with different sounds. It turns out that back in the early ’80s when I was going to high school I was falling in love with the beginning of what has become a giant a cappella movement. I was trying to find recordings by the Bobs, the Nylons, the Persuasions and Sweet Honey in the Rock. It was really hard to find out not only what a cappella could be, but also where you could find it. You’d have to dig around in the vocal section and ask people. With the Internet it’s much easier for people to find. It’s all over YouTube, it’s all over movies, television, iTunes—it’s everywhere.

Is there a particular genre that works best with a cappella?

Elizabeth Robertson

All the way through the history of music there’s been a cappella. You can look back at Gregorian chants, you can look at Madrigal, gospel music and barbershop and doo-wop and there’s always been this interest in a cappella music throughout human history. So in essence there hasn’t been a style of music that doesn’t have some heavily vocal music component to it. Anything works a cappella. It’s really exciting to hear what’s going on now, people experimenting with all these different styles—country music, reggae music and Hawaiian music. And in season one of The Sing-Off, Nota was this fantastic group from Puerto Rico blending Latin music styles and a cappella, a fantastic combination of sounds. You’ve got Pentatonix who are going completely viral right now and exploding after The Sing-Off season three and what they’ve done is they’ve taken pop music and woven in elements of electronic and dubstep into their sound. It’s just more proof of the fact that the human voice can do all sorts of crazy stuff that no one even thought of before.

November 2012

STAR POWER How is technology shaping a cappella?

For a long time, a cappella was maybe a four-part harmony. Then maybe you’d have a soloist in front of it. But what’s going on now is, if you’ve got a four person group coming out of college, you’ve got a four-part arrangement in many cases, with vocal percussion going on and interesting, interwoven vocal textures that sometimes replicate guitars, synthesizers or horns, and other times are just creating a different tapestry of sound that’s never really been heard before. One thing that technology is allowing is for people to record layers and layers of themselves, so there has been overdubbing in time. Now one song on an album by the Beelzebubs might have 150 or 200 tracks of different guys going in and creating a sound and then putting another sound on top of it and you get this incredibly dense, wonderful sound. Another thing that has happened in the past decade is digital electronic pitch correction, which is pervasive throughout modern music. Some people argue that a lot of people who are maybe not great singers can end up becoming huge pop stars. I’ll leave that for open discussion, but one thing that it does do is it allows amateur singers to create wonderful music and this is something that I think is great.

So what’s it like being a musical director? How do you decide what song belongs in what scene in a movie?

The big first meeting was a day-long sit-down with Ed Boyer—who I worked on the movie with as a co-music director, Jason Moore—the director of the movie, Elizabeth Banks—actress and one of the producers, and her husband Max Handelman, and the executive music producers—Julia and Julianne who worked together as a team. We sat around a table and talked through the script, every music moment that was meant to happen in the story and what would be the perfect song to fit that spot. For instance, we were talking about the beginning of the movie. We knew we wanted to start with the universal theme about a cappella, a song that celebrates music and says, “This isn’t your grandfather’s a cappella.” “Please Don’t Stop the Music” was perfect. So, we went through the movie, moment-by-moment, song-by-song. Then, after we chose all of the songs, the music supervisors had to go back and clear all the songs. How much would it cost for this song? How much would it cost for that song? How much of the song can we use? Etc, etc. Also, there were ways the script was being changed, altered and updated, so then we’d need to go back and find other songs. It was kind of a difficult process particularly with the riff-off where the lyric of one song led to the lyrics of another so if you have trouble getting one of the songs in the middle of the riff-off, you would have had to re-shape it and fix it. It’s a little bit of movie magic.

hit a complexity level pretty quickly and it’s going to, for the most part, work a lot better if you have something to work from—a sheet where you sing this note, I sing this note, she sings that note and it sounds great right away. The book starts with a very straightforward, simple, 10-step process to getting arrangements going and then it goes through each one of those steps in greater detail throughout the course of the book so that people can think about the process of choosing a song and really focus on writing a great baseline for their lower singers to sing or ﬁgure out some interesting ways to take an original song or a song on the radio and change it, and make it work for voices better than it would in original format. Little things like that.

Did you notice anything about their performances that you could tell you had influenced?

What was the inspiration to create a book like this?

My best advice is the advice that I got when I was in high school. An experienced conductor came to us and said: If you can see yourself having any other career, do it. If you can do anything other than music, do it. Because if you do choose to be a musician there’s always going to be someone who will get up earlier in the morning, stay up later and work harder. Music is something that belongs to everybody. You will always be able to do it for fun, in your free time, no stress, no pressure and you can do exactly what you want to do without having to worry about what’s going to be marketable, what’s going to sell. However, if you can’t imagine yourself doing anything else other than music—if you absolutely have do to music and nobody’s going to be able to stop you—welcome to the music industry. That’s basically what it is, in a nutshell.

I’ve taught this 10-step technique in workshops on ﬁve different continents. My whole life’s work is spreading harmony through harmony and one way to do that is to help directors be better directors and to help arrangers be better arrangers so that the quality of music and people’s experience singing it just goes up and up and up. Anything that I’ve learned, I’m happy to share with people. There’s never been a book about arranging contemporary a cappella at this level, so it just seemed right to get a publication out in people’s hands.

“The Warblers” featured on the show “Glee” were actually the Beelzebubs from Tufts University. Were you still working with them when they were on the show?

The Beelzebubs are celebrating fifty years this year, so I think that the success of the group and the sound and the style are the result of the labor of love that’s been put in by every music director since the group was founded back in 1963. My blood, sweat and tears are definitely in the group, but it’s too difficult to say if there’s any particular little piece of myself in there. I would hope so! More importantly it was just fun to be a piece of the tradition that ended up leading to that.

There are many students who want to break into the music business. What’s your best advice to young people who are hoping to make it in such industries?

A CAPPELLA À GAINESVILLE:

SEDOCTAVES

Do you have a personal favorite musical arrangement or performance scene from Pitch Perfect?

Oh, I love all my children. I love them all evenly. Everybody else just sees what’s up on the screen, but while you see the outside of the car, I see the engine and I have oil all over my hands. I’m just so thrilled that the car is running so well, and so fast and how many people are seeing it. I’m hoping it inspires a whole new generation of young people to sing. There’s an element of impossibility in “Glee”—like they’re all sitting around and all of a sudden everybody sings a song, but where are all the instruments coming from and everything? But a cappella has a kind of an inherent, built-in honesty to it. It’s just people. You can watch YouTube videos, untouched, people taping on their iPhone—and there are just amazing performances going on with non-music majors at that level. That’s what inspires me the most, the fact that the movie will be able to reach people and get them excited about this thing that I love and that so many people are doing.

Well, when we saw the movie, the first thing we did afterward was look up local a cappella groups.

I think that college a cappella groups around the country are going to be seeing an increase in auditions and numbers. Hopefully the end result will be that many more groups will be formed.

So you also have a new book coming out called “A Cappella Arranging” and from what we understand, it essentially teaches readers how to construct their own a cappella music. Can you give an example of the type of instruction that you’re giving? A cappella is something that can be improvised but you

The a cappella world is very supportive and feels a lot like a family. We are close with the other two groups on campus, as well as groups from other schools in Florida and in the Southeast. Being a part of the Sedoctaves has deﬁnitely come with lifelong friends, awesome experiences, and the feeling of having a family away from home.

I got involved in the Sedoctaves my ﬁrst semester freshman year. The summer before I came to college, I researched what vocal groups were on campus. Since I had been in choirs all through high school, I knew I’d want to keep music in my life. It has absolutely been one of the best parts of my college experience. Even though it sometimes gets stressful with getting 18 girls together and focused to learn songs and prepare for performances, it is still a welcome break from the rest of my life. We rehearse three nights a week for two hours each. Rehearsals are focused and productive, but always fun.

Being in the Sedoctaves is easily the best thing I will be a part of during my time at UF. If I could major in a cappella, I would do it without hesitation. A cappella has given me a group of girls that will always be my sisters. We have amazing experiences together because of the music we make, like road tripping to North Carolina for SoJam or singing at tailgates before football games. I love being a Sedoctave more than I can accurately express. This past year we have become so close and have truly become this huge, weird and hilarious family.

STAR POWER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

007* A

love for James Bond, after 50 years, has not been shaken or stirred. The James Bond films celebrated their 50th birthday on Oct. 5. With the new Bond movie, Skyfall, reaching theaters Nov. 9, fans remember 50 years of Bond ladies, villains and escapades. Though Bond has altered his appearance, storyline and gotten a major upgrade in gun power, the fans stay strong. Kabir Phaguda, a 19-year-old junior majoring in biology, says he’s not surprised the legendary character is turning 50. “James has been around for a very long time.” Bond has managed to slay ladies ever since his debut in 1962 with the film “Dr. No,” starring Sean Connery. Connery is Kabir’s favorite Bond. However, the character has also been played by David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and currently by Daniel Craig. The secret agent’s first big-screen appearance in “Dr. No” was followed by fan-favorites From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice with Connery as the star. Connery uttered his final “Bond, James Bond” in 1971’s Diamonds are Forever. Moore was the next actor on the list after Connery’s goodbye and starred in seven films, including the famous Octopussy. After Moore came Dalton with two films, Brosnan with four and Craig with three (including Skyfall). For some, Bond brings back their childhood. Katherine Kallergis, 20-year-old journalism junior, says as a child she would often have Bond movie marathons on weekends and holidays with her family. Her favorite movies are some of the older ones like Thunderball (because of awesome jet packs and the idyllic location of the Bahamas) and The World is Not Enough. Like Kabir, Katherine’s favorite Bond is Connery, but she loves how Pierce Brosnan came into his own

during The World is Not Enough. For BreAnne Butterworth, 21, James Bond video games were her calling back in the ’90s. She would play the Goldeneye video game on Nintendo 64 with her brother long hours into the night. One night, her friend slept over and was terrible at playing the game—leading to a nickname (Boris, her character) she still bears to this day. 007 has made his mark on fashion, video games and cinematic car chases. For Kabir, every time he puts on a tux he thinks, “What would Bond do?” The hero has also inspired spin-off novels and TV adaptations. But what else is memorable about Bond? The girls. According to an Entertainment Weekly poll, some of the highestranked Bond Girls are Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder, Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore and Diana Rigg as Tracy di Vicenzo. Pussy Galore is the Bond girl of 20-year-old Chris Kirschner’s favorite Bond movie, Goldfinger. He said between the ridiculous naming of Bond’s leading lady and Oddjob, a short, portly villain who throws his hat at predators, it has become his favorite. Kabir says, “James Bond is a figure that I feel most guys look up to purely because of his ability to kick ass and pick up women in style.” Skyfall, coming out this month, is sure to please BreAnne, who says seeing Craig is always a pleasure. “He’s incredibly talented and so wonderful to look at,” she says. So what is in store for the future of Bond? Kabir says, “The new movie seems as though it’ll revert to the classic James Bond style of more gadgets, witty lines and more sophisticated James Bond.” Take away the catchy theme song, gadgets and ladies, and the Bond films can at the very least claim they made “007” a combination no one can forget. “Each movie is unique in its own way,” Chris says. “I think he will be around for quite a while.”
