EDM SHREK RAVE

Not to sound dramatic, but the existence of the Shrek Rave raises some existential questions about modern culture. Shitposting memes centered on crappy depictions of the cinematic, CGI green ogre have been in vogue for a couple of years, culminating in the viral sensation that was the first Shrek Rave last year in NYC. It was such a success its creators are now touring the evening of fairy tale costumes, green lighting and dance music around the country. At a certain point, the ironic detachment while proclaiming “cool is dead” seems like a rot, eschewing pop culture that you find enjoyable and worthwhile in the name of turning your life into a real life shitpost. It’s a fratty strain of nihilism wrapped in a veil that screams “look at how uncool we are, doesn’t that make us cool?” Anyway… the new Puss in Boots movie was actually good…

Dance Moving With Meaning

Dance is a unique expression of art and beauty. As dancers fall into step with one another, their physical forms unite to bring the stage to life and tell a story. Locals can experience this magic themselves as Gonzaga hosts the internationally esteemed Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, founded in 1970. An award-winning dance company known for its modern style and African inspiration, the ensemble seeks to captivate and excite audiences. Its members perform Amalia Viviana Basnata Hernandez’s new ballet “The Four Journeys,” which celebrates Mexican heritage as an amalgamation and unification of cultures worldwide. The concert cultivates a unique space for people of all backgrounds to converge and appreciate the arts together.

CULTURE NOR-WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

Maybe it’s the excess of Norwegian blood running through my veins, but the Viking on a Stick might be a top 10 foodstuff for me. Essentially a corndog filled with Norwegian meatballs instead of a hot dog, it’s a fried meal beyond reproach. You can grab a Viking on a Stick or sample Norwegian waffles at the Sons of Norway Craft and Culture Fair, hosted by Coeur d’Alene’s Harald Haarfager Lodge. In addition to culinary delicacies and local artisan vendors, the event highlights Nordic heritage via demonstrations and presentations (expect some traditional folksy Bunad attire). Do I know if the Vikings on a Stick offered up over in Coeur d’Alene will be as wonderful as the ones at the Montana Fair? I do not! But good reader, I am willing to journey through any fjords to find out.

SPORTS WHAT? THE PUCK!

College hockey exists in a weird place. There are only actually 62 Division I NCAA men’s hockey teams (for comparison there are 358 DI basketball teams), so much of the sport is relegated to club-level competition. Such is the case in Washington state where Eastern, UW, Western Washington and Wazzu all compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association DII Pac-8 conference. But that doesn’t mean the action isn’t fierce when the teams hit the ice — as they’ll do this weekend for the Pac-8 Championship in Cheney. After a skills competition on Thursday, the eight squads face off in a single elimination tournament spanning three days. If you’re looking to diversify your Chiefs-centric hockey diet, this is the perfect chance (and way cheaper than traveling for a Kraken game).

Theater Tennessee Tunes

Elvis Presley has gotten a lot of media attention lately thanks to Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy film that was released in 2022. Whether you liked the divisive film or not, Elvis’s contributions to modern day music cannot be ignored. Songs like “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog” and “Don’t Be Cruel” were major hits in their time and are focal points in this Aspire Community Theatre production of All Shook Up. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this musical takes audiences back to 1955 and into a little square town in a little square state. A guitar-playing whippersnapper shows up and changes everything and everyone he meets. Lace up those blue suede shoes and be prepared to boogie in your seat.

WORDS YER A GENIUS, HARRY

Quick! How many Sickles are in a Galleon? No clue? Do you know what Professor Lockhart’s favorite color is? Then it’s time to brush up on your general Harry Potter knowledge to ensure your success at this annual fundraiser for EWU’s Get Lit! Festival. Gather up a team of two to four muggles and test your wizarding wits with trivia based solely on the canon universe within the Harry Potter books — not the films. All proceeds support this year’s Get Lit! Programs, taking place April 20-23. The winning team gets a special Harry Potter/Get Lit!-themed prize pack, an appetizer from host Iron Goat Brewing and, of course, eternal glory. If you don’t win the big prize, don’t be a Moaning Myrtle, there are individual prizes to win as well. (BTW: 29 Sickles to a Galleon, and Lockhart’s favorite color is lilac. Maybe he would’ve liked Spokane…) —

I Saw You

MCDONALD’S LIBERTY LAKE To the guy that gave me my coffee Wednesday morning. You are super cute! You are medium height, dark hair and look Mediterranean. Your soulful brown eyes and sexy smile have brightened my day for the past two years. I will be there Friday for my coffee; slip me your number? I’m the gorgeous chick with the hoop earrings and long dark hair.

BEACHED AT LILAC CITY LIVE 1-19-23 You: in a blue tie-dye hoodie sitting in the back. Me: goofy guy sitting next to you. We talked about Ryan’s crying and “Beaches” days. I think your friend was one of the artists interviewed. Want to get together and talk sad movies sometime?

RE: BLUES Likely meant for another... There was significant damage due my failure of your trust. Someday sounds hopeful. I retreat to my den, solitary makes it far easier to not let others down, again. It’s lonely, blue even, but safe. I can’t fathom it as an option, but you know where I’m burrowed.

NOT A MAN The Inlander recently caught my eye on account of a comment made by a fellow reader in regards to the unhoused individuals in our area. This reader expressed frustration at “having to see” the tents, belongings and physical presence of the unhoused, specifically in regards to public lands and parks. I was reminded of a passage from the good book, telling us that God is “not a man, that He should dwell in temples made with hands.” Originally, both the people of Israel and the earliest known predecessors of the Christian faith, upon which Conservatism is supposed to depend for its values, dwelled in tents, known in the religious context as a “tabernacle.” Many small church congregations today choose to be called Tabernacles, to reflect life’s transitory nature in God’s eternal universe. I think perhaps people choose to be offended by what they see. Those people should choose either to look at something else, or as the good book also says, “shake the dust off from their sandals and leave” without looking back.

Cheers

BABE, YOU ROCK To the man who shows me what a healthy relationship is… every day. I love how we stay up half the night talking, how present we are with each other, how we read about love, how affectionate we are. No toxic masculinity, no games. I’m so thankful that the universe sat us next to each other, and I’ll never forget that our friendship began with these four words : “I’ll go with you.” Yes, yes you will babe. I love you.

THANK YOU FOR MY DINNER To the three ladies that bought my dinner at the Hwy 2 Azteca Restaurant, on Friday Jan. 27th, I don’t know who you were, but I do thank you very much for doing this.

ANGEL AT WALGREEN ON 29TH Thank you to the Angel who paid our bill, Jan. 31, 2023. My wife and I were at the register checking out when I realized I forgot my card. So we were going to put everything back till I got my card. I apologized to the lady behind us for taking too much time. She smiled and said she would pay for our purchases, which came to almost $100. She was only buying a couple of drinks. People like her are a rare breed. I was too blown away to properly thank you. May God bless you. You asked us to pay it forward, we most certainly will. P.S. We already called our pastor, who said give a testimony this Sunday; can’t wait to tell everyone I can about you.

OFFICER WHO PULLED ME OVER To the Spokane police officer who pulled me over last week for expired tabs. Thank you for being so patient and kind with me! I had septic shock in 2020, and my memory has suffered immensely! I also told you I have PTSD — some guy under the influence hit my car and ran me off the road in 2013. Then you guys found him in one hour! I was so nervous and was having such a hard time getting my paperwork together! You gave me a verbal warning. Just wanted to say thank you, you never get enough kudos for the good things you do. I have my tabs now!

FAITH IN HUMANITY On Friday, Feb. 3, around 4:44 pm. I was at Rosauers in no weird boyfriends or substance abuse. Well established in her community, she was mentally and physically fit. Granted, security cameras, phone “pings” and such did not exist back then to help investigators. But hey, cold cases such as hers should not be forgotten and neither has the memory of my lovely, kind friend. sharpen up! Once a week can’t be that difficult.

PERSON WHO LOST THEIR GLOVES Shut up. Don’t be a dummy and lose your gloves if they’re sooooo important.

Browne’s Addition. A tall dark gentleman had amazing manners. I complimented him and his Mother, as he learned from her. Got a hug. I went to check out, and the gentleman helped pay for my groceries. I’ve only ever saw that happen on tube. I cried. Thank you.

SPOKESPERSON HELPER A big Thank

You to the Spokesman-Review customer service representative who researched the loss of all paper deliveries (Jan. 1) to “rural” sales outlets on the Palouse and L/C Valley. THEY responded quickly, completely, and compassionately in a “Grace”-ful way. Too bad this fine regional rag has decided to leave us by the wayside. We appreciate the weekly Inlander physical paper issues deliveries even more. Kudos to all.

JUMPIN’ JIMMY The biggest cheers to Jimmy for giving me a jump at Walgreens Friday evening. You told me you’d been up since 2 am, which makes me appreciate your willingness to stop and help even more. Thank you for your kindness, Jimmy!

Jeers

COLD CASES NEED WARMING UP Message to all news outlets who have focused only on recent area murders. Why not look into the many unsolved regional cold cases? A good friend and former USFS roommate, beloved special ed teacher disappeared Spring 1986 and has never been found! Her car, purse and school items inside were discovered at the Tubbs Hill trailhead. She likely went on a hike/run after work. At her home, an Easter potluck dish for church was ready in the fridge. She was not a party girl, did not live in a group house,

RE: SCALLYWAG ALERT II Shut up, moron.

RE: SCALLYWAG ALERT

We all can understand the frustration of less than stellar customer service, but your descriptions and anger are ignorant and ill-informed. Your physical descriptions are offensive and border on racist. Be thankful for whoever serves your food and be grateful it was unaltered. Love, an ex-service worker

GO HOME, MONEY BAGS Thank you to all you rich transplants from big cities for coming into our once affordable town and screwing up our economy so bad the average Joe has almost no chance of buying a home anymore. Five years ago half the houses here were around $250,000, and almost half the people that LIVE AND WORK here could afford them. Now, thanks to you and people like the easy home buyer, less than 15 percent of the homes are under $250,000, and only 5 percent of the people that have lived and worked here all their lives can afford a home. The American dream of owning a home is all but dead to anyone who’s not rich. Here in Spokane it has been sold to the highest bidder. Go back to wherever you came from and give us our American dream back.

JEERS TO THE SKATE RIBBON SKATES The Numerica Skate Ribbon in Riverfront Park is a wonderful addition to our city. A fun, unique attraction in every way, except the Skate Rental Department. The customer service is fine, very nice people, but the skates! The skates are so dull, it’s like skating on spoons! Seriously. I tried two pairs, and it was not pleasant. It’s difficult and frustrating, even for experienced longtime skaters to enjoy the Ribbon on dull skates. It turns out they only sharpen the rental skates every two or three weeks. So please, change the Jeers to Cheers, and

RE: DO BETTER, LOCAL NEWS Last week’s JEER perfectly expresses my opinion. Considering the population size of this area and that multiple institutions of higher education are in the area, the poor quality of local TV news broadcasts is puzzling and frustrating. Less money could be spent on the self-aggrandizing TV commercials, and more resources devoted to state and local news reporting. Furthermore, the morbid fixation on tragedies is disrespectful to the victims and their loved ones.

BUYER BEWARE He tells you he is a Tom Cat , but he really is a feral alley cat. 14 years I tried to domesticate him, spoiled him, bought him cars, got him jobs, gifts for every holiday. A well-kept cat. Couldn’t keep his temper in check, verbal assaults, couldn’t keep a job, couldn’t even go get a driver’s license. He is always the victim, and it’s always yours or someone’s fault. Missing my big birthday party, not even a card, and then stealing all my birthday money? How low can you go. A leopard doesn’t change its spots, so buyer beware!

Cannabis Jalape O

Poppers

12 fresh jalapeños

8 ounces of cream cheese, softened but not melted

2 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese

1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives

2 tablespoons cannabutter

1⁄2 cup panko bread crumbs

Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and white pith, and wash your hands very well after doing so.

2. Mix softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar and add chopped chives

3. Once combined, fill halved jalapeños with the cream cheese, cheddar and chives mixture. Don’t over-fill. You will have extra. Fill to the level of the cut jalapeño, then place cut side up on a baking sheet.

4. Add panko bread crumbs to a saucepan and add cannabutter. Stir over medium-low heat until melted and combined.

5. Pour melted cannabutter and breadcrumb mixture over the open side of the poppers on the baking sheet.

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees.

7. Finish under a broiler for a minute or two, keeping your eye on it at all times to avoid burning.

8. Let cool, then either eat immediately or freeze for later.

These will last in the fridge for a couple of days, and they’ll last in the freezer for a few weeks. Serve hot, reaching 165 F if reheating.
