Free fallin' Don't be a hater and call it all a publicity stunt; Felix Baumgartner's jump from space to Earth was pretty darn cool, even if the event was sponsored by Red Bull—the Austrian-owned super stimulating, gives you wings and hyperactivity beverage that some of you are probably going to mix with your Jägermeister later tonight.

For a company whose product has zero nutrional value and loves sponsoring extreme sporting events, teams and athletes, at least this time Red Bull's slogan kind of made sense, although Baumgarter was falling through the air instead of flying like a bird. If only he had chugged a can before he stepped off that platform—but it must have been the risk of freezing off his fingers in a temperature of around -56C that stopped him.

Yeah, what other reason could there be to keep an athlete from filling his body with a sugar/caffeine/chemical concoction? Probably stopped him from texting too.

But with an audience of more than eight million worldwide—that's how many were tuned into YouTube, not counting everyone's buddies crowded around all the computer screens— someone in Red Bull's marketing department is getting a hefty bonus this year. The company is staying quiet about how much they doled out to send a man up to space only to have him jump back to Earth three hours later, but let's see if what they made possible was worth the Sunday afternoon you spent in front of your computer,

or at least Googled later.

Baumgartner's goal was to break the sound barrier—and he did. So for the first time ever a man was plummeting through the atmosphere and going faster than the speed of sound outside of a jet. He also essentially volunteered himself to be a guinea pig for NASA to test out a new spacesuit to see if it would protect him from outside pressure. That worked too; Baumgartner landed back on Earth on his feet, not keeled over and gasping for breath. So far, two for two.

He also broke the record for highest manned balloon flight and highest altitude jump at 39 km above the Earth in a 55-story, 3700 lb, thinnerthan-plastic-wrap balloon. Four for four. His faceplate was fogging up a bit as the heater wasn't working properly, but that seems to be the only reported glitch in the whole mission. That and the spinning uncontrollably when he first started his freefall, but the guy's a pro. He was a military parachutist. He sorted it out.

This was Baumgartner's third attempt at the jump—on two previous occasions the winds were not right and it was cancelled. The wait was worth it for a man who set so many records in only a few hours. He says it best in his own words. "When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive." V

DEBT IN DISGUISE

Well over a month after beef tainted with E. coli was found at XL Foods in Brooks, Alta., the plant may open again this week if a Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspection, that began October 16, gives the go ahead.

Of 2000 laid off employees, 800 were back at work on October 16 with CFIA inspectors watching the entire day's slaughtering process of 5100 carcasses.

Tainted beef was first discovered by US border inspectors on September 13,

and there have been calls for Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz to step down from his position since critics say Ritz didn't act fast enough to warn Canadians.

Canadians were first warned on September 16 and the plant has been shut down since September 27.

Fifteen people have become sick from XL beef and more than 1800 products have been pulled. It's the largest beef recall in Canadian history.

support to integrate into the Canadian economy. The CFS states that trained immigrants and international students contribute $10 billion to the Canadian economy and that the government should be providing grants for immigrants instead of a way to accrue debt since over the next 20 years Canada's net new labour force will come from trained immigrants and international students.

Getting loans to start a business in Canada will now become easier for more skilled immigrants after the federal government announced a pilot project on October 12 to loan $1.2 million to immigrants with training.

But the Canadian Federation of Students says this will make it easier for trained professionals from abroad to rack up debt instead of getting direct BULLYING OUT OF BUSINESS Bulling Canada is facing the pressure of finances and could be out of commission by the end of November if donations don't come through to keep operations going.

The charitable organization was started six years ago by Katie Neu and Rob Frenette (teens at the time) who had been bullied themselves and wanted to create an organization that would offer assistance to bullied kids, as well as workshops for schools and workplaces.

The 24/7 support line has volunteers from across Canada and receives about 10 000 calls each month, with an additional 5000 youth accessing the website

for help each month.

Executive directors Neu and Frenette took salary for the first time this past August because of all the hours they put into the charity, but even still they are only making minimum wage and are the only paid staff.

"This isn't about putting money in our wallets, it's about getting the funds we need to save and change the lives of Canada's youth not only for today, but for tomorrow as well," Neu says.

NEWS // MUNICIPAL ELECTION FORECAST

Prognosis: negative With municipal elections one year away, the chance of unseating incumbents seems dim

D

isgruntled citizens looking forward to significant change on Edmonton City Council following next year's municipal election should probably brace themselves for disappointment.

According to University of Alberta political science professor Jim Lightbody, incumbent councillors seeking re-election are successful about 84 percent of the time. The few exceptions are cities which have adopted partisan systems. "In Montréal, Quebec and Vancouver," Lightbody explains, "voters will often decide to boot an entire party out of office."

Otherwise, he says, across Canada in all cities and across a generation, 84 percent is the rule.

From 1980 until 2007, council was comprised of the mayor and two representatives from each of Edmonton's six wards. In 2010, the city moved to a system wherein one councillor is elected in each of 12 wards. A review of the past three decades' election results confirmed Lightbody's assertion. Since 1983, the first-time incumbents elected under the new system could seek re-election, only four seated mayors and 10 seated councillors have lost. Incumbent councillors who ran for mayor and were defeated are

not included in this total. The biggest upheaval during the period occurred in 1995 when the incumbent mayor and five councillors were given the old heave-ho.

In an analysis he wrote about the 1992 mayoralty race, Lightbody noted that a familiarity with the way city hall works favours incumbents because their "awkward phraseology and unfamiliarity with technical terms" are used to question the credibility of political novices.

Along with name recognition and a better understanding of how the city operates, campaign fundraising capacity also plays a large part in providing incumbents the edge. But a big budget doesn't always guarantee re-election. Councillor Don Iveson was first elected in 2007. Although his campaign team recognized that incumbent Mike Nickel had greater name recognition and a larger budget, Iveson's team executed a wellthought-out campaign strategy with military-like precision. A large and extremely dedicated volunteer base helped Iveson deliver polished and clear messaging through social media and a massive door-to-door campaign. In the end, Iveson and his $22 000 campaign budget defeated Nickel and his $62 000 budget by

over 2200 votes.

In Nickel's case it would be difficult to suggest his defeat stemmed from any particular thing he had done. In other instances of incumbent defeat, it is much easier. Take, for example, Catherine Chichak. Shortly after the former PC MLA was elected to represent voters in Ward 2 during the 1989 election, city bureaucrats discovered Chichak owed $8400 in unpaid business taxes, rendering her ineligible to stand for office. She was eventually convicted and fined under the Local Authorities Election Act for signing a false statement. While the court determined she wasn't qualified to

have surely been included in our defeated incumbent tally had he not decided to run for mayor. In 1991, Ward 6 alderman Ken Kozak pleaded guilty to assaulting his estranged wife. After spending more than a year fending off calls for his resignation, he announced he was running for mayor. While it is quite possible Kozak felt his proposal to deal with Mill Woods' gopher hole problem by introducing a program to provide the gophers with birth control would help voters forget his domestic violence conviction, it did not. He received 3938 votes in his bid to unseat incumbent mayor Jan Reimer, who was easily re-elected with 113 085 votes.

run, Chichak was allowed to keep her seat because she had paid the tax bill before trial. The 1992 election saw voters more than happy to let the alderman know what they thought of the matter: Chichak placed a distant sixth.

There was one other alderman during that 1992 election who would

Barring an incumbent opponent like Chichak or Kozak, newcomers on the civic election scene know the deck is heavily stacked against them.

"It's hard to be new. It's hard to break in," Andrew Knack says, who has twice faced off against incumbents in Ward 1. Asked why he would enter a race when the odds were so clearly

against him, Knack explains that he'd always been active in politics and decided to take the plunge as a candidate in 2007 because he wasn't "overly impressed" with the representation he had received. "Back then, I figured running and losing was better than not wanting to vote at all," he recalls.

Knack has already announced he will be running again in 2013.

Feelings about current representation play a large part when rookies enter the civic election field. When he first started thinking about running for office, Dan Dromarsky considered running for councillor. "But I really liked how Ed Gibbons was representing us," he explains, "so I decided to run for Mayor instead." After finishing fourth in a field of seven in 2010, Dromarsky hasn't decided if he will run again next year. "If I do," he says, "it will be for a council seat."

We'll see at least two new faces in council chambers following next year's election as Councillors Iveson and Anderson have both indicated they will not be seeking re-election in their wards. If you are a political neophyte looking for a way to "break in", Wards 9 and 10 might be a very good place to start. The next municipal election will be held on Monday, October 21, 2013.

NEWS // WATER FOR SALE

H2Oh no!

Possible water market causes concern among Alberta's municipalities

I

f you are like most people, you wake up in the morning, go to the bathroom, have a shower, and drink some coffee without ever thinking about the water that comes through your taps.

But if you do stop to think about it, you'll realize that water is essential to every aspect of our life, from the food we eat to the health of our environment and economy.

Municipalities play a leadership role in many aspects of water management in Alberta. In recognition of this, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) approved a set of municipal water policies at its annual convention on September 27. The policies include 26 recommendations that cover a wide range of issues, from safe drinking water to the need for the federal and provincial governments' financial support for vital infrastructure upgrades. The policy states that "municipalities are concerned that the current system does not do enough to incent wise water policy use or protect water for human health and the environment."

For this, provincial support is also necessary. At the AUMA convention, Environment Minister Diana McQueen confirmed that the province will soon consult Albertans on four issues of water policy: municipal water and waste water, hydraulic fracturing, lakes, and water management—which includes the controversial issue of establishing a province-wide market to buy and sell water licences.

In the audience that day were mayors and councillors from across Alberta who are deeply concerned about the future of Alberta's water policy. Southern Albertans

10 UP FRONT

are particularly aware of the water challenges the province faces since the 2006 decision to close the already over-allocated South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) to new licences. Since then, the only way for a town, business or farmer to get access to more water in the SSRB is to buy rights to water from an existing licence holder.

So, what's the problem with using a market to allocate water? It ties access to water with ability to pay for it. This creates a system where those with the deepest pockets can purchase access to water and those without adequate resources could be left high and dry. Currently, the city of Okotoks cannot grow any more as it is using almost all of its original water licence. As a result, the city is looking to purchase rights to the water it needs for its citizens from an existing licence holder. It is also important to recognize that there is a lot of money at stake here and that, behind the scenes, many well-connected people and the powers of corporate lobbying are actively pushing for the creation of a water market.

VUEWEEKLY OCTOBER 18 – OCTOBER 24, 2012

If we look at other jurisdictions, such as Australia, we find examples of where water markets have failed on many fronts, from environmental health to equitable access. A report recently released by Water Matters illustrates how in Australia, the water market is not preserving the health of rivers, and the government was forced to budget $8.9 billion to buy back their own water licences in an effort to maintain sufficient water flow in the rivers. The report, titled Moving Waters: Water Management Options to Achieve Social, Economic, and Environmental Goals, shows that Alberta's current water policy is not addressing the environmental crisis, as it does not put a priority on science-based in-stream flow needs required to maintain healthy rivers.

It's time we all wake up and smell the coffee, and realize that if we don't speak up, private interests will soon be controlling access to our water. It is very important for citizens to participate in the provincial government's water consultations, expected to begin in the coming months and to connect these consultations to the work that has already been done by groups like the AUMA. To learn how to engage in the upcoming water consultations, join the Our Water is Not for Sale campaign at ourwaterisnotforsale.com.

Inner city spirit

The Avenue re-examines the stigma around Alberta Ave

Hellbound?

Opening Friday Directed by Kevin Miller

'S

hall not the Judge of all Earth do what's right?"

It's a Book of Genesis quote that opens Kevin Miller's Hellbound?, a documentary that looks to recontextualize the place where the Good Book says bad people go to be punished once they shuffle off this mortal coil. But it's the fact that Miller uses that quote as a springboard, rather than flat rhetoric, that lends his doc its genuinely curious (and necessary) bent: it rolls out a very rational look at the concept of eternal damnation, of what it can mean to believe in a contradictory God who loves all his creatures, and yet damns some for eternity. Miller fills the screen with interviews from across the full spectrum of belief, atheist to fundamentalist, non-believing authors to Westboro Baptist members to construct his points.

In advance of the film's Edmonton opening, which Miller will be present for, the director took a phone call with Vue to discuss the film.

We believe in 118th

Wed, Oct 24 (7 pm) The Avenue Directed by Jaimie Clements Metro Cinema at the Garneau

I

n the city's inner core, away from the urban sprawl of beigehued suburbia are a select number of neighbourhoods maintaining unique character, and 118th Ave— or Alberta Avenue, as it's also known—is no exception.

The avenue is a kaleidoscopic blend of culture, arts and people pushing to rid the neighbourhood of its perpetually negative persona and make it known for the eclectic hub it is to those who live there.

With the help of local director and actress Jaimie Clements, its story is being told through her new documentary, The Avenue.

Clements has lived in various areas of Edmonton, but she and her partner made the decision to relocate to 118th Ave in 2008, particularly for the affordable housing market.

She says her experience during the first year involved getting to know the community and the numerous events taking place on a regular basis.

"It actually reminded me a lot of a small town," says Clements, who is originally from the small community of Shellbrooke, SK. "It just reminded me of home in the way that everybody kind of knows each other. That really used to bug me growing up and I wanted to get away from that, but after

moving to that neighbourhood and just kind of getting that full community feel where you walk down the street and say 'Hi' to people ... it really reminded me of small town Saskatchewan and made me miss it."

Clements credits the welcoming community atmosphere as a factor in keeping her in Edmonton, and she began documenting the rich culture and diversity of 118th Ave, the opposite of the reputation it had gained for drugs, crime and prostitution. She believes the image is changing, and wanted to show the rest of the city how people in the 118th Ave community are working to make it a better place to live.

She got to work filming in September 2009, asking people on the street for their thoughts on 118th Ave. Clements noticed the people who had been born and raised in Edmonton had a much more negative view on the community, as opposed to those who had relocated from another city or country. The ones who had lived elsewhere first noted places like The Carrot, the arts scene and the festivals, rather than the negative aspects of the neighbourhood.

Aside from the general public, The Avenue features influential community figures such as Christy Morin, founder of Arts on the Ave; Chris Hayduk of Community Re-

sponse to Urban Disorder (CRUD); Jim Diers, author of Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way and Kathleen Quinn, executive director of the Centre to End All Sexual Exploitation (CEASE), who shared a new perspective about the women who still work the streets of the 118th Ave area.

"It's part of it and it does give good balance to it. I didn't want it to be all sunshine and rainbows, everything's lovely. In documentaries you can comment on society a little bit as well and get people to think about it, so as people want to revitalize their own communities and make them better, I think it's important to keep the other side of the story in mind," Clements notes.

Overall, Clements hopes Edmontontians can realize the strong sense of community present on 118th Ave and take a look at how they could make the same feeling possible in their own communities, regardless of which part of the city they live in.

"If they're living in a community that maybe doesn't have that great community spirt, or they don't know their neighbours, maybe it would get them to start thinking about how they can create this more vibrant community, and also to give 118th Ave a second chance," she adds.

VUE WEEKLY: I feel I'd be wrong not to ask you about your own beliefs about heaven and hell.

KEVIN MILLER: I think there's a difference between what I believe and what the film says. It's really trying to advocate a position in regard to the beliefs we hold. So this notion of absolute certainty that we begin the film with, I think we come around to a point to say, well rather than certainty, I think humility is a better stance. And so, that's what we're arguing for in the film. My own beliefs,

I think of the three categories we talk about in the film—eternal torment, annihilationism and universalism, or ultimate reconciliation, I would definitely be firmly in the ultimate reconciliation camp. Not a fundamentalist in that regard, but that is where my reading of the situation puts me.

VW: It seems to be that argument [reconciliation] was particularly under assault in the movie.

KM: This idea of universalism is under assault, because it's a threat to people who have gatekeeper status. And I think that also, there's people who feel that there is only one way to read the Bible, and that way leads to [a belief in] an eternal torment in hell. And what we're trying to do in the film is to say, well, to be fair, throughout the history of the church there's been a wide variety of views.

And in fact, some of the people who helped determine what books would be in the bible didn't believe in eternal hell.

So you're in a difficult position if you're trying to use the Bible to say that those that don't believe in eternal hell aren't Christians. [laugh], because then you're gonna have to disqualify some of the people who gave you the Bible.

What we're trying to do in the film a lot is help Christians and non-Christians re-engage with history. To help them understand how we got to a place where the majority view seems to portray a God who ultimately contradicts everything that Jesus taught.

Argo

Punch-Drunk Love

Together at last: Bryan "Breaking Bad" Cranston and Ben "Gigli" Affleck

Now playing Directed by Ben Affleck



A

far-flung, far-fetched but true story of six American embassy workers escaping Iran during the 1979-80 hostage crisis, under the cover of a CIA-backed fake-movie production, Argo could've easily gone mediocre and jingoistic. That it doesn't is credit to Ben Affleck's usually restrained direction (and acting—he remains a taciturn, reluctant hero) and Chris Terrio's terse script. And then there's the strange, poetic symmetry Argo finds between blustery, B-movie Hollywood acted out on backlots and bluffing, classified Pentagon operations unfolding overseas.

Moviemaking and politics merge from the start—a historyboard sketches out the Shah's fall and the Islamic Revolution's rise. Soon, voices from all sides: right-wing Americans, newscasters, Iranian Republic officials, Tehran student leaders demanding the Shah's return for trial. Even the US government comes off as brutal in its realpolitik and rigid chain-of-command. At the end, there's a sly glance at one Iranian involved in the plot—her escape from the country isn't so luxurious.

While the six are hiding at the Canadian ambassador's residence, the film delights in the schlocky sham of a sci-fi flick, Argo, concocted by CIA specialist Tony Mendez

Crazy in love

(Affleck), makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman), and producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin). Affleck offers two zingers at his expense: "You can teach rhesus monkeys to be a director in a day," Chambers shrugs before looking over Mendez and concluding, "You're an associate producer at best."

Tinseltown and the Pentagon's smokeand-mirrors cloud up: leading roles and cover identities; pitching the script to head honchos; entertainment-publicity hype and secret political hope building amid feverish media coverage. And eager-beaver Canada, taking credit for the operation to avoid further Great Satan-ization of the US while hostages remained in Iran, is the last great set-front of all.

The film only falters after Mendez travels to Iran, issuing fake Canadian passports to the six, leading them through Tehran as his production team, then to the airport.

There, Affleck slickly super-dramatizes (Mendez and the six actually flew out after little more than a long wait), wringing out maximum tension at every checkpoint with manipulative cross-cutting. Only then does this Argo, based on a truly volatile political reality partly settled by a big, bad lie of a movie, become as clichéd an action-thriller as that fake Argo was clichéd as a spaceopera.

Tue, Oct 23 (9:30 pm) Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson Metro Cinema at the Garneau Originally Released: 2002

A

fter helming a pair of lengthy, ambitious ensemble dramas—the beloved Boogie Nights (1997) and the more divisive Magnolia (1999)—Paul Thomas Anderson, already a seasoned director in his early 30s, reclaimed the long-neglected romantic comedy for filmgoers who actually value things like invention, audacity and risk—traits common to the genre in its 1940s heyday—with Punch-Drunk Love (2002). The gamble paid-off among critics and cinephiles at least, winning Anderson Best Director at Cannes and winning Adam Sandler the grudging admiration of viewers who couldn't stand most of his other movies. (A similar trick was pulled off with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [2004], an even more inventive, more resonant film about love and its unnerving proximity to mental illness, in which Jim Carrey gave a rare emotionally textured performance—which is to say he wasn't totally unbearable for anyone over the age of eight.) Sadly, the film failed to recoup its hefty $25-million dollar budget, but then

Anderson's models seem more aligned to silent comedies, certain MGM musicals or A Perfect Couple (1979), Robert Altman's woefully underrated stab at the genre, than to contemporary box office-behemoth schmaltz like, say, You've Got Mail (1998). Punch-Drunk Love returns to Edmonton Tuesday night for a one-off screening under Metro Cinema's "Cult Cinema" banner.

Sandler's Barry Egan has seven emasculating sisters, a small business wholesaling novelty toilet supplies, and one painfully blue, not very flattering suit, which he wears through the entirety of Punch-Drunk Love and which must smell really, really bad by the end, given that Barry travels from California to Hawaii and Utah and generally gets nervous and runs around a lot. Barry also obsesses over special retail offers, suffers devastating levels of depression and/or anxiety, exhibits violent tendencies and is socially awkward in the extreme—in several regards, Barry's not so different from Freddie Quell, the protagonist of Anderson's far more somber The Master (2012). If Anderson's highly focused, minimally cut, deliberately jarring direction didn't encourage us to laugh or marvel at Barry's unbridled distress, we'd be really worried about the guy. But Punch-Drunk

Love is true to the rom-com's promise of unlikely redemption, sending Barry an angel in the form of Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), an attractive, patient, quietly peculiar woman who not only fancies Barry but seems to fancy him precisely because he's a fucking maniac—there's a memorable scene that finds the lovers exchanging whispered sweet nothings that describe grotesque violence, a scene that may have inspired a similar motif in Take This Waltz (2011). Given the nature of her more recent work, it's great to see Watson in a role that allows her to be sexy and mysterious. Unfortunately, I think the film's one significant flaw may be her character's lack of development. I get that Anderson wanted to make Punch-Drunk Love as fleet as possible, and to keep Barry firmly at the centre, but I believe that Barry's pathos would have been only strengthened by a deeper sense of what sort of woman could so easily fall in love with him.

Anyway, Punch-Drunk Love is a very special, and very, very funny, genuinely nutty film. It also features a wonderful supporting turn from one of my favourite contemporary character actors, Luis Guzmán. Now if only somebody would make him the lead in a romantic comedy!

But then Here Comes The Boom goes flat to the mat, falling limply back on its schmaltzy, low-blow "do it for the kids" and "follow your (American) dream" clichés. After all his perspiration and pain, Voss is stupidly told teaching's 100-percent inspiration.

Unable to work out how to comically combine Voss' night-job survival of brain-injury and body-blows with his daily efforts to spark brains and fend off school cuts, the movie taps out.

COVER // KILLER FESTIVAL

Dedfest a beacon for alternative cinema

Until Sun, Oct 21 Dedfest Metro Cinema at the Garneau Schedule at dedfest.com

'S

cooby-Doo," Derek Clayton says, after almost no hesitation. "As a kid, all those crazy monsters and the haunted houses, and the kookiness of it all."

He's recalling where his love of the horror genre began, and he might not be the only one who, if prompted, could trace a love of the genre back to those meddling kids and their oversized dog. The structure of your average Scooby-Doo adventure aligns surprisingly well with a lot of the niche film genres out there, he notes, and in that way probably made up a great many people's introduction to the ideas (albeit in a very PG, Hanna-Barbera way).

"It's basically got all the same tropes as a horror movie does, or a slasher movie. And actually, I watched Cabin in the Woods recently, and couldn't help but feel like in a way it was a lot like Scooby-Doo," he says. "I think that was the original blueprint, in a lot of ways: a lot of kids in a creepy mansion, or the woods, or abandoned UFO site, chased by a monster that turns out to be a person. Total horror movie script right there. Every episode."

Clayton's love of the genre has taken him a long way: he makes up the dual producing

core of Dedfest (alongside Kevin Martin), offering up Edmonton's premiere haven for horror, cult and exploitation cinema, both in a monthly screening series, and this, the actual festival, now in its fifth year.

Fifth year under that title, anyways: a horror cinema celebration began back in 2004 under a different name: Return to Odd, brainchild of Chris Bavota, then-owner of what was then called Oddity Video (now it's The Lobby, and Martin runs it).

After a few years and titles, it ended up in their hands as Dedfest, and now a half-decade in, seems to be representing not just horror, but also selections from the entire altcinema expanse: exploitation, sci-fi and movies that simply lack a proper categorization but carry a penchant for extremes. This year spreads a 15 film lineup out over five days, making an eclectic mix of cinema from Miami Connection (1987)—which pits a martial-arts rock band against motorcycle-driving ninjas—to American Scream, Dedfest's first documentary (in a co-presentation with Global Visions), which looks into a trio of Massachusetts families preparing to put on their annual haunted houses. Author Kier-La Janisse is pairing a

screening of The Brood with the release of her book, House of Psychotic Women,, delving into the onand off-screen displays of female madness.

There's also Hemorrhage,, a creeper of a horror flick shot in Edmonton, which has earned some serious accolades on the festival circuit, yet in a curious reversal of the usual order, is only now getting around to a local screening (it debuted at EIFF). The oddness of that ordering isn't lost on writer/director Braden Croft.

"It feels unreal. It's the one place it should place first, and funny enough, it's one of the last places it's played over the festival circuit," he says over the phone.

Written in Vancouver after he graduated film school, it tracks a warped love story through the increasingly untrustworthy lens of a psychopath going off his meds (and possibly his mind). Croft was trying to find an idea he could pull off with little budget: watching shoestring classics like Buffalo '66 and Pi for inspiration.

"Then, believe it or not, out of all the films—it's not really to my taste—but I watched Twilight and totally dug the relationship there," Croft admits.

"But I thought, 'OK, if this wasn't made with Disney, Mickey Mouse sensibilities, how would this go down with a real serial killer?"

To Croft, the alt-cinema appeal is not just its low-budget applicability, but also the more immediate, physical reactions the genre can induce.

"I think it's because, whether it's horror or comedy, at least you get a physical reaction when you're

experiencing the piece," he says. "So whether you're biting your nails or something. It was always that to me: it was always the most visceral."

Part of Dedfest's growing scope is the result of some new backing: for the first time, this year Dedfest had an arts council seed grant backing it. It's let Clayton and Martin go beyond the city to other festivals, to bring in films for this as well as the monthly screenings.

"I recently got back from Fantastic Fest in Austin," Clayton says.

"Kevin and I were at Fantasia in July, and that's helped more than we thought it would. It's been amazing to get out there, connect and just show that Edmonton has a film scene here that's vibrant.

"The interesting thing that we get from distributors that have shown films with us is our numbers are really good. That's the thing that we keep hearing, 'Wow, your numbers are really good for being out in the prairies,'" he recalls. "Well, why wouldn't it be? So it's been that ability to be out promoting Edmonton as a film centre that's been really crucial and really fun to do this year."

Having a little more gold in

VUEWEEKLY OCTOBER 18 – OCTOBER 24, 2012

the coffers has let Clayton and Martin pull in some bigger names in the industry too: earlier this year, Michael Biehn (Terminator, The Abyss) came to town promoting his explotation flick The Victim. Apparently he liked what he expeirenced: now, he's talking about making his next film here.

So, beyond its simple festival status, Dedfest's become a local beacon for alt-cinema. Its roots are in horror, but its growth is leading Dedfest towards a greater, encompassing glance at the niche film itself, cinema not limited by thoughts of a mainstream reception.

"Last year we showed James Gunn's Super, which you can't even really put into a genre: it's a superhero movie, but then it's a horror, but then it's a thriller, but then it's a comedy. It transcends description. I think we're feeling like we're the home for a lot of these films," Clayton says. "They can stay at our house."

REVUE // HAIL TO THE KING

Bubba Ho-tep Mon, Oct 22 – Wed, Oct 24 Written and directed by Don Coscarelli Metro Cinema at the Garneau Originally released: 2002

I

t's 2002, and somewhere in Mud Creek, East Texas, in a backwoods nursing home called Shady Rest, a place of long, echoing, ominous corridors and giggly kleptomaniacs, Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) wakes up, and the first thing he sees is an old man violently expiring in the bed next to his. Now Elvis needs a walker to get anywhere and big-ass glasses to see anything. There have been two presidential campaigns since he last had a hard-on, and a tumour has erupted on the end of his penis. He has intoxicating flashbacks of performing under a hail of projectile panties. But is this

The King and ... JFK. For real. Seriously.

“

DOWNRIGHT SCARY…

IT DELIVERS SOME REAL CHILLS.” – Brian D. Johnson, MACLEAN’S

★★★★

“

AN EERIE EXERCISE IN FRIGHT.” – Chris Alexander, METRO NEWS

the real Elvis? The Shady staff seem to think his name is Sebastian Haff (which sounds an awful lot like "Half"). Elvis claims to have swapped places with the real Haff, an Elvis impersonator, at some point in the 1970s, when he was tired of fame and melancholic about his failing marriage. Now admittedly, his story sounds a little fishy—until our Elvis meets another Shady Rest resident, an elderly black man (the late Ossie Davis) who says he's John F Kennedy. In this world, fishiness is a matter of degrees.

And Elvis and JFK aren't the only people in Bubba Ho-Tep who are supposed to be dead; there's also a reincarnated Egyptian mummy, with whom our elderly and infirm duo will eventually do battle in a wonderfully anti-climactic climax. I say anti-climactic simply because this comedy with horror trappings, returning to Metro Cinema for the first time since its initial run, only seems like it's some sort of cheeky, po-mo monster mash-up showdown.

The genius of screenwriter/director Don Coscarelli's adaptation of Joe R Lansdale's eponymous novella lies in its use of pop-culture, the absurd and the fantastical to craft a relentlessly inventive fable that could finally be about anyone suffering the anxieties of getting old: the loneliness, the invisibility, the mounting physical ailments, the disintegration of your credibility,

the erosion of all your past glories, the depletion of your sex life and the fear of having your soul slowly sucked out of you, leaving only a tired, wrinkled shell of a human being behind.

Campbell, beloved star of the Evil Dead films and Army of Darkness, has stated that the script for Bubba HoTep was the weirdest things he'd ever read—and that's saying something.

Indeed, one of the pleasures of experiencing this film, which became an almost instant cult classic upon its debut 10 years ago, is simply reeling from the accumulation of batshit plot interjections. In this way Bubba Ho-Tep shares something with the Coen Brothers at their most free-form, ie: The Big Lebowski. Of course, Coscarelli, whose credits include The Beastmaster and the Phantasm series, doesn't exude anything like the Coens' high standard of craftsmanship, but I don't think Bubba would be as charismatic if he did.

This film is singularly shaggy and silly in the most inspired sense of the word.

It's a story about facing death with dignity, trying to maintain one's integrity in the face of time's potentially humiliating effects, and it's about good old-fashioned showmanship. Whether our Elvis is the real thing or a fake, he's convincing in all the important ways.

PREVUE // GEEK

Albertan nerds unite!

Edmonton Expo kicks off its revamped, renamed approach to geekery Sat, Oct 20 – Sun, Oct 21 Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo Edmonton Expo Centre, $16 (per day), $27.25 (weekend pass), $162 (VIP pass)

N

erdiness does not subscribe to the traditional, Edmonton versus Calgary battle lines.

For seven years now, the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo has drawn Edmontonians down Highway 2 to celebrate its influx of niche popculture heroes, panels, costumes and more; likewise, Edmonton has pulled audiences up the same road for the Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show to trade figures and finds, complete collections and showcase many guests in the same vein—shows with kindred spirits, certainly, but differ-

ent approaches.

Now, the two fests have grown closer. Calgary Expo's Kandrix Foong and Edmonton's Shane Turgeon, proprietor of the Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show, have joined forces to reshape the latter into the Edmonton Expo.

"The two of us have been friends for a little while, and most of the time when we're talking to each other, it's show related stuff: 'Hey, what do you think about this guy? Do you think this guy's worth this?'—very showspecific types of conversations," Foong explains over a phonecall. "And he was asking me to help him out and grow the Edmonton show for quite a while. And what had happened is, this year we were chatting, and he was like, 'All right, we're able to take a weekend in October in Edmonton.

Can we make this thing work?'"

They could: now, instead of the Collectible Show happening in March (with the Calgary Expo dovetailing immediately in April), it'll adopt its new October weekend. A fall expo for Edmonton, a spring one for Cowtown.

Foong notes that while the two expos are now more similar in approach, the goal is to keep them as somewhat distinct entities.

"I definitely want to have a different flavour for the [Edmonton] show; I don't want to have it like a travelling circus, where it's the same thing going from one show to the next show," he says. "With Edmonton, because we're closer to Halloween, I think there's definitlely an opportunity to focus on a lot more of the horror elements. I also think that we can go into some of the metal and music,

which is why we have some of the guests like Gwar and Fubar coming up to the show."

took the kind of winding road to get to opera, that's both incredulous and totally true.

Graduating high school with a penchant for music (he played violin), he ended up in music school eventually, but after graduation, he notes that he lacked the drive he saw in his fellow graduates to push along a difficult path for a soloist's career.

"As a singer, a soloist, you have nothing out there: you have opera companies

that are falling apart every day—because they're privately funded in America," he says. "In Europe they are funded by the state or the government, and you could go get a job as a chorister. Well, you didn't work four years to be a chorister, unless that was your aspiration, and that's OK. ...They're paid, they're hardworkers, but you don't set out to be that. you want to be a soloist. You want to shine."

Instead, Tanner drifted. He took a job as a commercial truck driver; when that wasn't paying the bills like he wanted, he was introduced to a bounty hunter who took him on as a partner. Tanner, it turns out, had some quality insights into the occupation: instead of wasting time and funds looking for those they were hunting, he convinced his partner to spend that money on a PI to find these guys for them. "We tried it for a month," he says. "And we caught four more people than average."

The push back to a career in music music came on a day when three people, independent of each other, told Tanner singing was his calling (one was a stranger, hearing him sing along to the radio in traffic; the second was his truck driving boss; the third was his father), and, asking for a sign—he prefers "spiritual" to "religious," he notes—found a four-leaf clover on the ground. Shortly after, his boss told him it was his last day, and effectively fired him: handed him a small envelope of cash, assembled by his coworkers, to move to New York and make a go at a singing career. He went. Now, he's sung at the White House, and has his enduring soloist job, fronting operas across a worldwide itinerary.

In addition to those two grabs, the Edmonton Expo's inaugural lineup includes the likes of Billy Dee Williams (Lando!) and Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly!), alongside the bevvy of exhibitors, artists and cosplayers of every stripe (Adam West was scheduled to appear, but has had to cancel after a back injury. He's being replaced by Lee Majors—better known as The Six Million Dollar Man). There's a hard cap on ticket sales, too, in order to prevent the over-capacity problems that plagued Calgary's most recent Expo.

Steven Hodges, another one of the organizers helping develop the Edmonton show, notes that there's more than

enough room for both fests in Alberta, because, quite simply, everyone has an inner geek that loves this sort of thing.

"I think that fandom, geekdom is that common ground that unites the majority of all of us," he says. "Because even if you're not the stereotypical geek or nerd, you lived Batman growing up: you watched the old-school Batman show on YTV as a kid, you watched The Next Generation on Sundays with your parents. Everybody has this sliver of geek in them, so I think to have a common ground like the Edmonton Expo, but also great events like Pure Spec and Animethon, and the Pop Culture Fair, and even the Edmonton Collectible Toy & Comic Book show in the past, is that common ground [where] we can all get together."

ers), as the titular slave girl finds herself caught in a doomed love triangle with the Egyptian warrior she loves and the king's daughter who vyes for the same man.

"It's such a large, grand-scale opera," Tanner says. "I mean, you can have a long, three-hour boutique opera that has three-four characters, and that's it. This opera has four or five principal singers, then you have a chorus of 60 people, and you have this long orchestration—it calls for a large orchestra. And then you have all the costumes and everything.

The triumphal march scene is one of the largest scenes in opera. It's why a lot of people go to opera: it brings out the kid in all of us to go to opera. And the music is amazing: Verdi really knows how to really stir emotions when it comes to throwing 120 people onstage."

REVUE // DRAMATIC CABARET

Typhoon Judy

Singing her troubles away // Ian Jackson, EPIC

Until Sun, Oct 28 (8 pm) Created by Darrin Hagen and Christopher Peterson Roxy Theatre, $21 –$50

J

udy Garland blows into the theatre against the whip of an angry weather system, wind and mist swirling all around her fur-and-sunglasses-clad frame. She's storming into Hong Kong to rehearse a show that, on historical record, will never actually happen due to battering winds of Typhoon Viola. We've also just been told via radio that Garland's been hospitalized, meaning that maybe this is all happening in some sort of spiritual limbo; regardless, she finds the room almost empty, her orchestra kept away by the storm save one silent piano boy (Nicholas Samoil) clad all in white.

The show must go on, though, and he plays while she recounts her life, eventually drifting into her deeper, darker thoughts, her damaged personal life and the greater fractures her time as a starlet has inflicted upon her. And she sings. Does she ever.

Typhoon Judy, the Theatre Network's season opener co-created by Christopher Peterson and Darrin Hagen, seems to be an attempt to inject the cabaret form with some dramatic heft, adding in a fourth wall and filling it in with as much background script as songbook lift. It's a worthwhile premise, one delivered with ample skill here, but one that also has a tendency to drag in its quieter moments, feeling drawn out as a two-hour show.

That isn't to say it's a wash: Peterson's Garland is a compelling mix of self-aggrandizement and an increasingly revealed sort of damaged vulnerability. His Garland is a reverent performance, certainly, but not cheaply so. And when Peterson's singing— his range is similar to Garland's actual one—it's almost always a show peak.

It's what comes between songs, however—the presentation of Garland's personal history—that gets less compelling as it goes along. The script takes its time sifting through so much personal history, and especially when only one of the two characters onstage is ever talking, that you start to feel the energy drop as it goes on. Garland's got a massive, damaged personal history—overworked from childhood on, forever trapped by the shadows of her early successes, then thrown away by the studio after the strain began to overtake her ability, unable to find lasting stability in any of her marriages— but the longer it goes, the more it just feels like exposition, particularly in the first act. The energy Peterson channels into his Garland dissipates during the longer between-song stretches. And yes, that sense of vulnerability, the person behind the songs, burdened with the strains of living up to the Garland name, is vital context for her show-stopper abilities. But here, the script often feels like it's simply telling that context more so than allowing the emotions and the heart to resonate and reveal themselves.

So Typhoon's at its best when Peterson and Hagen let their Garland sing, showing us why she was the original Hollywood starlet that conjured up all the fame and world-wide attention.

There's a show-closing concert for us; the fourth wall drops, Garland gets chatty, and the energy in the room rides a cyclone of an updraft to send us into the night on a high. There, and throughout, whenever Peterson's pipes open up, we're delivered a Garland who lives up to her own legend.

When she's simply up there explaining her troubles away, it doesn't quite carry its share of the impact.

P

oppy Brumschtic comes from a long line of Ice Witches, and now, her mother wants her to commit one truly evil deed to induct her into the family legacy. However, true to teenage form, Poppy has other dreams about the life she wants to lead. Poof! The Musical tracks the spooky and comical tale of young love, parental meddling and one desperate teen's fake plot to kill her love interest to please her evil mother.

This original musical—written by Nick Green and composed by Darrin Hagen—hosts three endearing characters and one very charming plot. Madelaine Knight as Poppy and Eric Wigston as her love interest, Mike, are a fantastic duo in their awkward and adorable roles as young lovers who have "fallen in like." Garett Ross plays Poppy's eccentric mother, Awanda, in drag. While the opening scene fell somewhat flat, Ross's performance only climbed from there. Characteristically transitory, Awanda is not only a mother but a narrator to the audience through the fourth wall. This accompanying method of storytelling yields some incredibly entertaining results. The songs and dialogue are stuffed with hilariously contemporary witticisms. The local references throughout—such

as the explanation of how Ice Witches derive their evil power from the oil sands, and use sinful ingredients from Calgary—received many appreciative chuckles from the audience.

The music in the show, while never reaching for anything particularly risky, added the necessary punch that's required of the audio accompaniment to a haunted tale. While some longer songs could have had tighter endings to make the musical sharper, there were others that were absolute in their entertainment and plot value. The shamelessly charming homage to D&D—"Dungeons and Dwarves," here—is a perfect example of the latter.

The technical components to this show are fantastic. Using all that the wonderful Capitol Theatre has to offer, the projections for the backdrop are played with in order to add a dynamic layer of visual stimulation. It certainly stands to say that the show probably has something for everyone. Adults will appreciate the dialogue, teens will appreciate the storyline, and, if you're willing to let the few minor moments of coarse language slide, younger viewers will love the special effects in this seasonably spooky musical.

Ragtime

Fri, Oct 19 – Sat, Oct 27 (7:30 pm) Directed by Barbara Mah La Cité Francophone, $28

S

et in 1906, the Tony Award-winning musical Ragtime creates a portrait of life for three families as they face prejudice and the struggle for freedom.

One such character is Coalhouse Walker Jr, played

by Orville Cameron. He's a Harlem ragtime musician who has the means to afford luxuries such as a Model T Ford, something unheard of for a black man in that time period. But Walker faces racism to its full extent, and the production follows the roller coaster of emotions that accompany such adversity.

"I see a lot of myself in Coalhouse to tell you the truth," Cameron says, adding he was often the only black child in his class growing up in Sherwood Park. "I always knew I was different. I always knew there were more eyes on me because there were so few of us and I can relate to some of those racial struggles. I can remember encountering racism for the first time and being discriminated against because of my colour."

Like his character, Cameron has experienced success in his career, but finds he still struggles for acceptance and equality, despite modern society protesting an evolved outlook on the matter.

"I think we're naive to think that racism doesn't exist," he adds, "As much as we've progressed a long way, we still have a long way to go as far as acceptance is concerned and the treatment of races as equals."

To capture the essence of the time period, the actors adopt language considered taboo today, and director Barbara Mah says while it was a challenge

A different era

for them to revert to terms they have been taught were offensive, there's an understanding it's done for the overall service of the production.

"The 'N' word is tossed around by a few people and some things are actually used for comic relief because the writers who did this knew it would be seen by a 20th and 21st century audience, so someone who is of good reading would just not have said that these days," Mah says of the script, which she's grateful called for an ethnically diverse cast to fill fictional and non-fictional characters like Henry Ford—something she says is often uncommon in mainstream theatre.

"I've encouraged my fellow actors not to be scared of those words, to really make them heartfelt," Cameron says. "We want to make this real. This is what it was and even today racism's not dead. It still exists in many parts of the world, but we want to transport the audience to early turn-of-the-century America and New York City and bring those to life."

dmonton's International Literary Festival has always reached beyond the usual associations of a writerly gathering: there are readings, sure, but Litfest does its celebration of non-fiction one better: it lets authors meet, makes them debate, share wine, finds them comparing ideas on panel chats, and helps develops in any assembled audience an appreciation for the powerful pens that reside both within and beyond the Edmonton city limits. What readings there are get bolstered by other performances that play into the themes of the evening.

And at 30-plus events happening over its 11-day span, it can also be daunting to find an entry point. So, as it begins to unroll its almost-twoweek-long run, here's a scattering of entry points for your perusal:

Andrew Nikiforuk / Fri, Oct 26 (7 pm) Nikiforuk is the author of The Energy of Slaves, "A radical analysis of our master-and-slave relationship to energy and a call for change," as well as an award-winning journalist and author with a strong lean towards environmentalism. This Friday night event will focus itself around Slaves' subject matter, but he's also appearing as part of "Fauna," (Sun, Oct 28, Stanley A Milner) where he'll discuss battle against the northern pine beetle, and "Savouries" (Sat, Oct 27, Santa Maria Goretti Centre) where he'll join a trio of other authors in a mix of food, wine and academic conversation. (St Albert Public Library) Shadows of Afghanistan / Saturday, Oct 20 (7 pm) Four authors of a political bent— Janice Williamson, Noah Richler, Paul Wells and Terry Glavin—join together to discuss the impact of Canada's peacekeeping time in Afghanistan,

Three Acts of Alberta Theatre, Part One: Setting the Stage / Sun, Oct 21 (2 pm) Anne Nothof, Professor Emerita at Athabasca University and editor of The Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia will act as a guide through the history of theatre in our fair Prairie province. Part One looks at the growth of community theatre and a radio play, with a follow-up next weekend discussing the rise of professional theatre and later developments.

Both are totally free. (Strathcona County Library, Free)

heavy territory of Tennessee Williams as the basis for the season.

The comic possibilities are infinite, most of them hiding simmering tensions just below the surface, with those very tensions simmering just below more tensions, which are also simmering, and probably hiding another couple layers of simmer/ tension for good measure. Who will foolishly depend on the kindness of strangers? Which gentlemen caller will get which lonely recluse's hopes up? How many mint juleps and bottles of Southern Comfort will be downed? Only time, a willing funnybone and a careful eye for both simmer and tension will tell.

Alexander McCall Smith / Tue, Oct 23 (7 pm) In a curious relaxing of Litfest's non-fiction focus, the author of the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series commands the Winspear stage as one of the festival's big grabs.

While his most well known body of work may be the Detective Agency series, he's also written a few other series in addition to a number of writings about bioethics, and holds the title of professor Emeritus at the University of Edinburgh, among other accolades. So there will be much to hear about from a master storyteller like this.

'I

t's like birthing a baby; we're doing something new," says Edmonton Comedy Festival artistic director Andrew Grose.

The festival, which is about to kick off its second year, is said to be Edmonton's only true comedy festival.

Grose acknowledges there's been criticism in that title, but believes the Edmonton Comedy Festival stretches beyond what others have done in the past.

"A festival has to be more than a single venue with a few comics in it.

A festival is something that has to embrace the city. It has to reach all four corners," adds Grose, who is also a veteran comedian with 20 years experience. "It should celebrate comedy, it should develop comedy, it should

leave the city a little better than it was before the festival began."

"Let's face it, I'm happy and a little scared sometimes when I look at the numbers and everything else that goes into it," says president Graham Neil, who got the idea for the festival after hosting a successful comedy event in memory of his brother and noticing a void in the city's festival circuit. "But when people leave the sows they're still laughing and when people tell me what a great show it was, it makes me feel like we're doing the right thing for the city."

Entertainment is key for the festival, but its community outreach is what Grose and Neil believe makes a larger impact. Comedians will be visiting inner city schools to talk to students about comedy as a career and the festival benefits six different charities, including the Lupus Society of Alberta

with a gala on Thursday night.

Overall, the festival boasts an eclectic comedy lineup including nationally recognized names like Nikki Payne and Derek Edwards, with acts being brought together under common themes, like the popular Date Night Debate. In addition to drawing more prominent comedians, the festival focuses on introducing audiences to talented local and non-local comics.

"This city has a brilliant amount of talent in it and people don't know it," Grose says, noting festival events like the Young Guns amateur showcase are a way to bring this up-andcoming talent to the forefront. "I want to develop amateurs; I want to gain exposure for comedians who are absolutely fabulous that live right in this city and you don't even know it. That to me is what a festival is."

n eclectic clientele have ordered off an equally diverse menu at B's Diner for over 10 years now. It has been the customers who have pulled the diner through its toughest times; it has been Bob Ziniak and Brenda Der who have helped the city's neediest pull through theirs.

"Doctors, lawyers and homeless!"

Ziniak playfully suggests when asked who comes through the doors of their restaurant. At the couple's previous location, the latter of his answer were a large focus of the diner; through them, food and warm clothing were made available to Old Strathcona's abundant homeless population. Successful winter clothing drives, combined with Brenda's home-style cooking provided a refuge not found elsewhere on their side of the river.

Since August 2011, B's has been storefront on east Whyte Ave, occupying the old Global TESOL building. The friendly, comfortable, family atmosphere not found in chain establishments remains very much intact; the long-loyal patrons instinctually top up their own coffees or take their dirty dishes to the back when things get a little busier during the weekend breakfast rush.

known designation—along with specials that are unique to the couple's heritages: Ukrainian, Polish, German and Asian dishes are mixed and matched, sticking with ones that satisfy their guests the most. After deciding to expand the dinner menu several years ago, the Asian hot pot has become a staple among the evening crowd.

Tragedy struck in the summer of 2010 when Der lost her son Jeremy to the North Saskatchewan river while on a camping trip. In the wake of such tragedy, many parents would be reluctant to pursue such a familiar course in life.

Ziniak and Der, however, have fought harder than ever before—inquiring about their involvement in charity work results in two full pages of notes.

Though still active in providing for the local homeless, they were prompted to shift their focus to the less fortunate children of the inner city. Once a month, the couple provides hot lunches to three schools with above-average numbers of underprivileged kids, feeding 150 students per school.

"There are places in the city where homeless adults can go," Der notes.

"They have made their choices in life, but for kids, there aren't nearly as many resources. Kids are silent about things, and often get overlooked in these situations."

"Especially when your parents are, say, junkies," Ziniak adds in a solemn break from his unfaltering friendliness.

The husband and wife team each stress the need for donations of any kind; they use their tips for a budget, and volunteer on Mondays and Tuesdays—their days off. Food-wise, meat is needed the most, chicken being the "safest" for certain religious groups in the school system. They wish to invest in a larger refrigerator, include more schools in their hot lunch service, and someday provide hands-on field trips that teach healthy eating and cooking to children in need.

In addition to hosting a seniors group every Sunday, B's Diner also contributes to WIN House, Kids Cottage, the Old Strathcona Youth Co-Op, and various charity Christmas parties, among others.

There is of course their own annual Christmas party for their customers and local homeless— last year's entertaining nearly 400 people.

From the transition to their current location, to the continual donation of perogies from a farmers market vendor, to everything in between, the eclectic customer base of B's Diner has been with them through the years; any new support they get is encouraged and welcome.

"Everyone has their own great ideas," beams Der. "That's what makes the world go around."

PREVUE // ROCK 'N' ROLL PHOTOGRAPHY

It's only rock 'n' roll (but he likes it) Ethan Russell's camera lens captured the likes of the Stones, Joplin, Morrison though the world of music was immediately appealing to him. After college he found himself in London in 1967, trying to be a writer, working with autistic children and roaming the streets taking photos, drawn by the burgeoning music scene as well as the lure of "Swinging London" as seen in Antonioni's Blow Up. A year later a friend of a friend introduced him to Mick Jagger, who took a liking to Russell; for four years after he was the official Stones photographer, whether for album covers (Through the Past Darkly, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out) or simply as a fly on the wall during their endless touring.

"They liked me, and they truly didn't know that I had no reason to be there," Russell says with a laugh. "I think it was also partly because Americans were taking them seriously when their own country wasn't."

f you ask Ethan Russell how he became one of the most celebrated photographers in the world of rock 'n' roll he'll take you all the way back to

his childhood.

To Russell's pre-teen years, to be precise, when he lived on a ranch in California and often stalked errant blue jays with a .22 calibre rifle. It was a solitary experience, one that taught the young boy the value of silence, stillness and fast movement when it counted.

"That's where I picked up most of the

knowledge I needed as a photographer," he explains. "If I was shooting I was quiet, stood in the corner, and never got people to pay attention to me; when I saw something of interest I took a picture and drifted off to the side again when I was finished."

Russell didn't necessarily want to make a living with a camera around his neck,

The images that came out of the Stones tours that Russell participated in are as intimate as you can get without actually being there. He lived and worked with the band, documenting them in good times and bad; both are in evidence in Let It Bleed: The Rolling Stones 1969 Tour, a book he wrote in 2007 that touched on the band's concert in Altamont, which ended in the

death of a young fan.

"When I went back to talk to people like Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor, the sound man, the business guy, I found out that they remembered Altamont as if it was yesterday, which is how I imagine it would be for people who went to Vietnam.

They know it in great detail, because it was a very traumatic experience."

Russell went on to work with many other musicians, coming up with album covers for The Beatles (Let It Be) and The Who (Who's Next), as well as countless portraits of icons like (to name a few) Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin all the way up to current bands like Audioslave. It's his time spent among these musicians that make up the show he's bringing to Festival Place, where his famous images will hang as he recounts stories of being among the legends of '60s rock 'n' roll.

"I believe that the singer-songwriter is an important artistic figure in our time," Russell states. "I can't think of a novelist who was as important as John Lennon or Bob Dylan were to our lives. They were weaving tales and changing the world around us with their music. In the end I simply wanted to be around that music, and photography gave me a way to do that."

A

Heading in a new direction

shift from introspective to outgoing has been the start of a new chapter for the dynamic blues duo Peter Karp and Sue Foley.

Karp and Foley, both formidable musicians in their own right, became a package deal of sorts when a series of events led to the pair keeping in touch via email, which opened the flood gates to a wealth of inspiration for He Said, She Said, Karp and Foley's deeply personal release.

Two and a half years of touring later, the twosome are back with Beyond The Crossroads, a much more outgoing take on the world around them, with songs tackling themes of positivity, renewal and absolution. Where He Said, She Said was born out of loneliness, Beyond The Crossroads is a celebration of life, playing off the

blues rock style Karp and Foley have become known for.

"He Said, She Said was getting to know each other and this record is getting to work, and this is really the two of us sharpening our blades as songwriters and guitar players and instrumentalists," Karp says over the phone while on the road from New York City to Kingston, ON. "We're trying to write about how we see the world and how we'd like to see the world and the broad perception of things."

The album is a combination of solo writing efforts as well as Karp and Foley taking a stab at co-writing, something neither had a great deal of experience with. However, they found they were able to feed off one another's styles and inspiration to get their ideas across.

"We were both able to draw from our strengths. Peter has a really creative

writing style, sort of a fearless style I like to say, because he's not afraid to just use great concepts or words and throw stuff in," Foley notes, adding she's an instrumentalist first rather than a songwriter. "I'm kind of more of a straight shooter, more conversational I guess ... but these two things mesh together really well."

"Songwriting I think is my first trade, but when you write and you work with Sue Foley you better have a pretty sharp blade for your guitar too.

I think we both set the bar for each other pretty high in respective areas," Karp adds. "You're going to hear really great songs and you're going to hear some really fiery guitar playing and I think that's what happens when you put two people together who are competitive by nature and have a great deal of respect for each other who really love to play music."

Tyler Butler But when you dig into metaphor, and become a better writer I think it's easy to hide behind that, and hide what you're really trying to say behind complex stories and thoughts that you know nobody's going to dig into."

He doesn't look so violent // Sarah Erickson

Sat, Oct 20 (7 pm) With Mike Tod, Liam Trimble and Nathan M Godfrey Rutherford House, $15

'F

or me, folk music is all about place," Tyler Butler explains, sitting forward in a Jasper Ave café. "It's about capturing where you are, when you're making it."

In the case of his four song EP, Violence, that meant reflecting the mood of a tiny shed outside of a friend's parent's "country mansion" just past the Grand Prairie city limits. That esthetic, in its bare-bones, bare-all simplicity—unplugged plucks and Butler's gentle croon make up the bulk of the EP, those elements occasionally bolstered by backing vocals and lone crests of banjo and accordion—lends its songs the sort of intimacy you'd only get otherwise if you were in the room during the recording.

"You can hear all these creaks and

groans in this great old shed, and how much fun we were having," he says.

"I think all of that really gets into the sound of the record, and makes it way better than if it was in a sterile studio."

That's the approach; in content, Butler's shifted his focus to replace the more poetic storytelling that illustrated his Winter King album with a more direct, personal style of song.

"These are country songs, is how I think about them," he says. "Which is not something I was consciously trying to do before. So I'm using country as a way to talk more about the west in Edmonton, and dig into the masculinity, what masculinity is in the west, which I think is a lot about taking up space.

"Folk-country is a really interesting way to be able to dig into that, and critique it, and find my place in what it means to be a man and be masculine," he continues. "I think in Winter King I spent a lot of time developing a poetic voice that was consistent and strong.

The release of Violence (which also launches an Old Ugly imprint called Cabin Songs, which Butler hopes to see as a connector for folk musicians across the country) is happening at the U of A's Rutherford House—that means catered finger food—a small enough venue that Butler can fill with sound without having to amp up his approach.

"I really like playing without a microphone," he says. "I went to Calgary this last weekend, and we played at this 125-yearold church—more than that, I think—and you could play without a mic, and just do so many more things. One of the reasons I record myself is I think that everyone who gets between me and the audience, for better or for worse, is changing the thing I'm trying to do, and that even the best sound guy, he's doing something to the sound: he's making the guitar louder or the voice quieter, and putting effects on it and stuff. And I'd much rather just find a room where I can project and sing and have everyone feel that much closer to the music."

The Falklands thought it would to get back up."

That breakneck release pace—which Stevenson notes began when bassist Lee Klippenstein joined the lineup of guitarist Mark Budd and drummer Jerf Sebastian—if not ultimately sustainable, certainly taught the band about the drive it was capable of reaching.

"When Lee joined the band, we all agreed, let's work as hard as we can, and let's write as much and record as much and see what happens. And apparently it almost kills you, so ... ," he trails off with a laugh.

tenacity working out pretty well for the band.

Or it was, anyways. That the band's seventh release and second full-length, Cold Favour, is coming out more than a year after its recording was finished wasn't exactly intentional, vocalist Jason Stevenson explains.

"Everyone fell apart after we made this record," he begins. "Mentally and physically. We made it under someone else's timeframe, and yeah, it had an impact on all four of us, and once it was done, we all kinda collapsed." He laughs. "It just took longer than we

VUEWEEKLY OCTOBER 18 – OCTOBER 24, 2012

Still, having a little time away from Cold Favour before releasing it has let Stevenson give it a bit more of a distanced, objective listen that he can appreciate.

"Every few months, I would pop it out and listen to it, and my fears were calmed, because I still thought it was a good album," Stevenson says. "So I think it's been an interesting and a positive experience to wait, because we're all still confident it's a good record. Some records are a snapshot in time, and you look back and go, 'Well, that was that moment,' and you're always gonna want to do things differently. But we're all still really happy with it. I think that gives a stronger confidence in the record."

midst Edmonton's often rockladen music scene comes a new force with a new twist.

Soulicitors, a six-piece that formed back in 2008, is a reggae-fueled outfit on the precipice of its second album, What You Need.

"It's quite different, for Alberta anyways," says guitarist and vocalist Kelly Callin on the band's sound. "It seems to be kind of a rock-oriented crowd around here, so right away we're something different ... there is more to music than rock-based music and I think people are starting to realize that.

There's been a lot of support for us and for other bands like Soul-

jah Fyre and we just want to push that."

Each member of the band has their own experience in the city's music landscape. Callin says his background is in rock and punk, while the other members' roots are in genres such as pop rock.

"I think everyone else brought something to the band," he notes.

"It's a melting pot, and the sound we play now, being a pop-reggae sound, it's a mash-up of a whole lot of different things."

The catchy melodies and hooks are influenced by the likes of Sublime and stem from the band's interest in snowboard and surf culture, as well as the ups and downs of relationships. To make the second album a reality, the

band teamed up with Stew Kirkwood from Sound Extractor studios, mixing live off the floor recordings with pieced together ones for a final product with a polished vibe.

"It was a big learning experience to go through the whole recording process with him. We've got six guys in the band now and there's a lot of parts to be laid down there," Callin notes, adding the writing process is a predominantly collaborative one for the group.

"You get fresh perspectives. If one person's tendencies tend to fall in a certain area, you repeat your own patterns, but when you get other people's patterns in there, it breaks the mould."

Diamond Rings Free Dimensional (Astralwerks)  If you're a fan of underground music— "hipster" if you're feeling uncharitable— the kind of fan that visits music blogs, trades tapes and playlists with friends, goes to shows in basements that cost less if you bring a vegan snack, there's a moment of discovery where an artist shifts your consciousness. After that, you carry that band as a totem, a short form of your own personality. It speaks to you on a deeper level. It belongs to you.

There can also be a moment, unfortunately, where that artist ceases to be "yours" and belongs to everyone. A moment like that is not one of joy, where you feel the consciousness of the world shift to match your own. Instead, "your" artist's output shifts to match what is demanded of them by the larger, lowestcommon-denominator public.

Free Dimensional is Diamond Rings' moment. The second one.

Gone is the weird-older-brother feel of his previous work. Gone are the Casio tones, the clumsy mixes, the personal lyrics. They've been replaced with the new, slick package of "Diamond Rings," production Tiësto would find acceptable, lyrics that are platitudes.

Take, for example, Free Dimensional's lead single, "I'm Just Me" as well as its accompanying video. Ostensibly a song about accepting yourself for who you are: apart from a few early lyrics, the whole

thing is made up of rhyming gibberish, and the music is seamless, perfect. In the video, Diamond Rings stands motionless in the smoke, lasers and shadow, it gives away nothing of the person he's purporting to be so accepting of.

Compare that with the high-specificity of "All Yr Songs" ("In the summer weather / We'll put sunscreen on together / I would not want your skin to burn") or the goofy dance video to "Show Me Your Stuff" (which sees him dance in a bully-recalling school gym, herky-jerkily but still with plenty of smoke and lasers) and you can see he's not the same person.

"So what's wrong with that?" you might ask. "Why you gotta be such a snob, you hipster ballbag?"

Of course nothing is wrong with it if you're a circuit-party DJ looking for the next track. This is great dance music and, mixed with some careful beat matching and a little amyl nitrate, it'll make you rock hard. But that don't mean it's got soul.

Diamond Rings' appeal is that he's the weirdo at the dance party, the guy whose moves are out of time with everyone else's and who doesn't care— who revels in that. That's why you couldn't take your eyes off him. Now? Now he could be anyone.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! (Constellation) @VueWeekly: Restless stuff, a lot of incessant drone-noise. Hustle & bustle, w/ an air of calm. Thank goodness they've returned.

Benjamin Gibbard Former Lives (Barsuk) @VueWeekly: Surprisingly unlike what you'd think from the indie darling. I guess that's why he's going by Benjamin now. Some OK genre dabbles, even.

Tame Impala Lonerism (Universal) @VueWeekly: Sit back & watch the psychedelic rock show, you loner. A lot of weird happening, some of which may be under some sort of influence.

The Rolling Stones "Doom and Gloom" (Universal) @VueWeekly: Mick Jagger had another reverie. In this one, he's 70 & his band still puts most rock groups to shame.

Hannah Georgas Hannah Georgas (Dine Alone Records)  There's a broken heart beating at the centre of Hannah Georgas' selftitled sophomore release, but the Vancouver songwriter does better than just pin it to her sleeve and channel her most sympathy-inducing croons.

Instead, the album's 11 songs act as an almost-dozen meditations of sifting through that inner strife, taking a full-spectrum approach to the separation process.

After opener "Elephant" puts a bruised synth line to good use, the strutting drums that propel "Somebody" give its wistful kiss-off some instrumental punch—"I hope somebody someday is gonna break your heart," goes the choral hook, delivered as equal parts sad acceptance and stinger goodbye.

Elsewhere, the mood gently crests with the swaggy swing of "Shortie," Georgas' shifting into moving on, dancing the past away and hoping for a hookup. "Millions" breaks the mood and the subject matter with a successbaiting chorus: "She can do it / What the fuck? / How come I can't?"

Georgas displays her dexterity as a songwriter here, but the album's core is balanced and inviting—be it focused on wrestling with a breakup or applying its energies elsewhere— with a dual pull of lyrical honestly and instrumental skill. Probably the most encompassing take on bittersweet you'll hear all year.

Mise En Scene Desire's Despair (Pipe & Hat)  Desire's Despair, the debut for Manitoba-based duo Stefanie Blondal Johnson and Jodi Dunlop is an in-your-face disc, blending catchy hooks with reverb-laden melodies that mix together a little '60s girl pop, a dash of early punk, some garage rock and even a little folk whipped into a frenzy. Blondal's voice is strong, with a raw edge full of emotion that's joined by Dunlop for captivating harmonies complimenting the overall melody of each song. The duo is at its best when its going full steam ahead and playing to the rock end of its broad musical spectrum, with tracks such as "Perfect Killers (Oh Child)" being stand outs. While it's a strong start for a new group, there's still room for improvement. The songs, while catchy, tend to lean on overly-repetitive choruses that put a damper on the often intriguing stories beginning to unfold.

Jack Semple

Home on the prairies

Fri, Oct 19 – Sat, Oct 20 (9 pm) Jeffrey's Cafe and Wine Bar, $35

R

ural life on the vast Saskatchewan prairies is rich with country undertones, but Jack Semple caught

the blues bug early on and hasn't been cured—not that he would want to be.

Semple, who was recently awarded a Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work, caught on to guitar thanks to his older brothers and soon moved to formal lessons. He studied a variety of styles before discovering the blues, and particularly BB King, whose music seemed to speak directly to him. After a stint in Toronto with The Lincolns, Semple returned to Regina, SK to raise a family, but the music hasn't stopped.

Despite the difficulties of continuing a music career, which Semple says is no easy task no matter what city you live in, he's made a lucrative living touring and doing commercial music work.

"It's not a standard career being an artist, but with technology the way it is —Internet technology—I do recording sessions for people all over North America, so it doesn't matter as much where you live," Semple notes, adding there's still the need to be seen and heard to continue. "It's like any small business. You have to be creative and diverse and you have to stay positive, but the bottom line is I'm doing what I love to do."

This drive and love for music has translated into Semple's latest album Into The Blue Light, a disc steeped in jazz, blues and funk that showcases a

transition back to a full band, which Semple had forgone on his previous four recordings in favour of an acoustic sound.

"It's a culmination of where my heart's at, what kind of music really matters to me and what kind of music naturally comes out of me," Semple says, citing James Brown as a major stylistic influence. "One of the goals I had was to write music that a full band can play, and also, when you have a drummer there's a lot more rhythmical possibilities than when you're by yourself."

Another focus of Into The Blue Light was improving his skills as a songwriter. Semple is known first for his guitar playing prowess, but he says he never wants to stagnate or be satisfied with the skills he already has. Semple turns to the likes of Joni Mitchell and John Lennon for lyrical inspiration and made crafting well-written songs his mission.

"I spent three years writing tunes for this CD and for me my natural talent is guitar playing and my natural talent is not songwriting," he admits. "That was the big goal, to create some songs that could stand on their own ... That was the big goal and I think to a large extent, I succeeded."

'O

ne of the hardest things you have to deal with as a human being is relationships and being around other people."

Reel Big Fish trumpet player John Christianson—also known as Little Johnny Christmas—states the sentiment with a laugh, but he may be on to something. He adds that when you think about it, that's what all the great songs and books are written

about, and it's something people can relate to, whether they're getting their heart broken for the first time at 16 or through a divorce, as happened to lead singer Aaron Barrett.

The downside of relationships get belted out in full force on the band's latest album Candy Coated Fury, pairing upbeat ska with downright cynical lyrics. The end result is tracks like "PS I Hate You" and "I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore," both darkly humorous odes to the bitterness of love and the downward spiral that can follow the

"I think it's Reel Big Fish getting back to what we do best: playing happy sounding music with spiteful and sometimes funny lyrics, and writing about life and what happens to us, and what happens to everybody on a day-to-day basis," Christianson says of the no-holds-barred album, the band's first in five years. "We can make fun of ourselves. I think that's something we really embrace is you really have to laugh at life; you can't be so serious all the time."

The juxtaposing lyrics and melodies have become a signature for Reel Big Fish, and Candy Coated Fury is a testament to that in sound as well as name.

"That's something Aaron's been kicking around for quite some time, always describing our music like that when we talk about having happy music with cynical lyrics," Christianson says. "It's candy coated fury and that's something that he felt apt to describe our music and finally he had a record that he thought was worth putting the title on, and I think he was proud to describe our music that way."

WAR STORY

Scythia Fri, Oct 19 (8 pm) With Mortillery, Mongol Rendezvous Pub, $10 Touring can be rough business, or so Scythia bassist Terry Savage found out.

Prior to the folk-pro-metal group's show in Edmoton, he told Vue how a stop in Red Deer was the start of a downhill spiral involving tooth pain, food poisoning and marathon bathroom trips.

This war story happened on our quick western Canadian tour we did this past May. We were camping in Red Deer and the temperature dropped down to –8C. We all froze to death, but my gums receded due to cold and my wisdom tooth broke through the gum. I woke up and the left side of my face was swollen and in intense pain. I was super miserable until we could get some numbing gel on it, and

even then I was still miserable.

Then to make things worse, I got food poisoning two days later. I spent hours on the toilet and the eight-hour drive to Saskatoon from Edmonton was made even longer because I had to use a washroom every 20 minutes. At our only free meal on the tour, I couldn't even force soup down and visited the washroom at least 10 or 15 times in the space of an hour. I spent the next few hours with a fever, huddled under my jacket tucked between the amp cabs and a bench. The show still had to go on and I dragged my butt onto stage when the time came and played a mediocre show. My fever broke a few hours after. The frequent stops to the toilet didn't stop for the rest of tour though. V

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY

ROB BREZSNY // FREEWILL@VUEWEEKLY.COM

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19): In the coming days, many of your important tasks will be best accomplished through caginess and craftiness. Are you willing to work behind the scenes and beneath the surface? I suspect you will have a knack for navigating your way skillfully and luckily through mazes and their metaphorical equivalents.

The mists may very well part at your command, revealing clues that no one else but you can get access to. You might also have a talent for helping people to understand elusive or difficult truths. Halloween costume suggestions: spy, stage magician, ghost whisperer, exorcist.

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20): The coming week could have resemblances to the holiday known as Opposite Day. Things people say may have meanings that are different or even contrary to what they supposedly mean. Qualities you usually regard as liabilities might temporarily serve as assets, and strengths could seem problematical or cause confusion. You should also be wary of the possibility that the advice you get from people you trust may be misleading. For best results, make liberal use of reverse psychology, freaky logic and mirror magic. Halloween costume suggestion: the opposite of who you really are.

VUEWEEKLY OCTOBER 18 – OCTOBER 24, 2012

cy to contradict yourself. I'm rarely among the consistency freaks who would prefer you to stick with just one of your many selves instead of hopscotching among all nine. In fact, I find your multi-level multiplicity interesting and often alluring. I take it as a sign that you are in alignment with the fundamentally paradoxical nature of life. Having said all that, however, I want to alert you to an opportunity that the universe is currently offering you, which is to feel unified, steady and stable. Does that sound even vaguely enticing? Why not try it out for a few weeks? Halloween costume suggestion: an assemblage or collage of several of your different personas.

CANCER (Jun 21 – Jul 22): An avocado tree may produce so much fruit that the sheer weight of its exuberant creation causes it to collapse. Don't be like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Without curbing your luxuriant mood, simply monitor your outpouring of fertility so that it generates just the right amount of beautiful blooms. Be vibrant and bountiful and fluidic, but not unconstrained or overwrought or recklessly lavish. Halloween costume suggestion: a bouquet, an apple tree, a rich artist, or an exotic dancer with a bowl of fruit on your head.

FREEWILL ASTROLOGY << CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22): I hope your father didn't beat you or scream at you or molest you. If he did, I am so sorry for your suffering. I also hope that your father didn't ignore you or withhold his best energy from you. I hope he didn't disappear for weeks at a time and act oblivious to your beauty. If he did those things, I mourn for your loss. Now it's quite possible that you were spared such mistreatment, Leo. Maybe your dad gave you conscientious care and loved you for who you really are.

But whatever the case might be, this is the right time to acknowledge it.

If you're one of the lucky ones, celebrate to the max. If you're one of the wounded ones, begin or renew your quest for serious and intensive healing. Halloween costume suggestion: your father.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22): Do you know how to tell the difference between superstitious hunches and dependable intuitions? Are you good at distinguishing between mediocre gossip that's only 10 percent accurate and reliable rumors that provide you with the real inside dope? I suspect that you will soon get abundant opportunities to test your skill in these tasks. To increase the likelihood of your success, ask yourself the following question on a regular basis: is what you think you're seeing really there or is it mostly a projection of your expectations and theories? Halloween costume suggestions: a lie detector, an interrogator with syringes full of truth serum, a superhero with X-ray vision, a lab scientist.

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22): I am officially protesting you, Libra. I am staging a walkout and mounting a demonstration and launching a boycott unless you agree to my demand. And yes, I have just one demand: that you take better care of the neglected, disempowered and underprivileged parts of your life.

Not a year from now; not when you have more leisure time; NOW! If and when you do this, I predict the arrival of a flood of personal inspiration. Halloween costume suggestion: a symbolic representation of a neglected, disempowered, or underprivileged part of your life.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21): "It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas," said French painter Paul Cezanne. Many writers make similar comments about the excruciating joy they feel when first sitting down in front of an empty page. For artists in any genre, in fact, getting started may seem painfully impossible. And yet there can also be a delicious anticipation as the ripe chaos begins to coalesce into coherent images or words or music. Even if you're not an artist, Scorpio, you're facing a comparable challenge in your own chosen field.

Halloween costume suggestion: a painter with a blank canvas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21): As you contemplate what you want to be for Halloween, don't consider any of the following options: a thoroughbred racehorse wearing a blindfold; a mythic centaur clanking around in iron boots; a seahorse trying to dance on dry land. For that matter, Sagittarius, I hope you won't come close to imitating any of those hapless creatures even in your non-Halloween life. It's true that the coming days will be an excellent time to explore, analyze, and deal with your limitations. But that doesn't mean you should be overwhelmed and overcome by them. Halloween costume suggestions: Houdini, an escaped prisoner, a snake molting its skin.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19): "Does anyone know where I can find dinosaur costumes for cats?" asked a Halloween shopper on Reddit.com. In the comments section, someone else said that he needed a broccoli costume for his Chihuahua. I bring this up, Capricorn, because if anyone could uncover the answers to these questions, it would be you. You've got a magic touch when it comes to hunting down solutions to unprecedented problems. Halloween costume suggestion: a cat wearing a dinosaur costume.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18): The Live Monarch Foundation made a video on how to fix a butterfly's broken wing (tinyurl.com/ FixWing). It ain't easy. You need 10 items, including tweezers, talcum powder, toothpicks, and glue.

You've got to be patient and summon high levels of concentration.

But it definitely can be done. The same is true about the delicate healing project you've thought about attempting on your own wound, Aquarius. It will require you to be ingenious, precise and tender, but I suspect you're primed to rise to the challenge. Halloween costume suggestion: herbalist, acupuncturist, doctor, shaman, or other healer.

COMMENT >> SUNDAY NIGHT SEX

Calling out the "sexpert"

Sex educator and TV personality, Sue Johanson, behind the times I went to hear a talk by Sue Johanson When asked whether there are any here in Edmonton on October 4. I'm new fun condoms available for somesure you are familiar with Sue. Her raone who doesn't like to use condoms, dio show the Sunday Night Sex Show, Johanson simply said that condoms are which started in 1984, became hugely not meant to be fun.

People also use nutritional and stress management techniques to deal with herpes. There is information and support available both from people who treat the disease and people who live with it that would have really helped this woman understand that her life is not over; she simply has a disease that she will need to learn how to manage.

The people who asked those questions were looking for information to help them with real problems that are affecting their lives. This is what we turn to experts for. But this presentation made it ever more clear to me that even the most famous of experts may not have the most current and accurate information. We can't always trust that the answers we are getting from the "sex experts" are the right answers—or the right answers for us. We need to listen with a critical ear and be willing to question and double-check what the experts are telling us. It never hurts to get a second opinion. V Brenda Kerber is a sexual health educator who has worked with local not-forprofits since 1995. She is the owner of the Edmonton-based, sex-positive adult toy boutique the Traveling Tickle Trunk.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20): It's not a good time to wear Super-Control Higher Power Spanx, or any other girdle, corset, or restrictive garment. In fact, I advise you not to be a willing participant in any situation that pinches, hampers, or confines you. You need to feel exceptionally expansive. In order to thrive, you've got to give yourself permission to spill over, think big, and wander freely. As for those people who might prefer you to keep your unruly urges in check and your natural inclinations concealed: tell them your astrologer authorized you to seize a massive dose of slack. Halloween costume suggestions: a wild man or wild woman, a mythical bird like the Garuda or Thunderbird, the god or goddess of abundance.

This inability to empathize—this refusal to imagine what it might be like to have an ill relative or a drug problem or a gay child or an unplanned pregnancy—is a defining characteristic of modern conservatism. But my plan to instill a little empathy in LIFE's boyfriend was itself lacking in empathy. LIFE's boyfriend might have been traumatized by the lie—not just by the lie itself, but by the violation of trust. So my advice wasn't just bad, it was hypocritical. Mea culpa.

dating a woman who was personally, but not politically, opposed to abortion. I would only fuck her in the ass, however, to avoid becoming a father against my will.

Your response to LIFE was horrible.

Flat-out lie and see what response you get? How about having a frank discussion to see how he really feels about abortion? I hope LIFE was smart enough to disregard your idiotic "advice."

Offended

This inability to empathize—this refusal to imagine what it might be like to have an ill relative or a drug problem or a gay child or an unplanned pregnancy—is a defining characteristic of modern conservatism.

Would an anti-choice position still be a deal breaker for you, Dan, if you had the penis and your opposed-to-abortion partner had the vagina?

Pro-Choice Myself The right to control your own body is a bedrock value for me—male, female, gay, straight, sex workers, responsible drug users, etc—but my hypothetical girlfriend's anti-abortion position would only be a deal breaker if she didn't support the right of other women to make their own choices.

Allow me to un-prettify that: if my hypothetical girlfriend believed that the state should have the power to force a woman to give birth against her will, if she wanted to see doctors thrown in prison for performing abortions, if she believed every miscarriage should be treated like potential homicide, that would be a deal breaker.

But yes, PCM, I could see myself

You and everyone else who were worried that LIFE might actually take my idiotic advice will be delighted to hear that she did not ...

I was happy to see my letter in your column. After I wrote you, I had a long conversation with my boyfriend.

When I asked what we should do if I was pregnant—something all sexually active couples should talk about— he said he would want me to give it up for adoption or keep it (with the help of child support payments from him), but that I could have an abortion since "the letter of the law was on my side" (we live in Canada, for which I am eternally grateful). After a couple days of thinking about it, I reopened the discussion. You hit the nail on the head when you said this was about equality and respect. Even though he claimed he respected me, he admitted that he would ban abortion if he could, essentially arguing

that I am less capable of understanding what pregnancy means and the effect it would have on my life than he is. I broke up with him. I'm writing to thank you for giving me the boost I needed and to calm the nerves of the commentators who really didn't like the lie-about-pregnancy suggestion.

Love Is Finding Errors I'm glad your anti-choice boyfriend is now your anti-choice ex, LIFE, and your letter is a good reminder to everyone who reads my column or any other advice slinger's column: it's called "advice" not "binding arbitration" for a good reason. The people who ask me for advice are free to make up their own minds.

And I actively encourage everyone whose letter appears in the column to lurk in the comments and see what you have to say. Because, you know, sometimes your advice is better than mine.

Finally, a word to all the anti-choice men out there who were so hurt that I told their girlfriends—imaginary in many instances—to dump them. If you oppose abortion because you believe that "sexual choices should have consequences," as more than one of you stated (was there a form letter circulating?), then you should be able to wrap your heads around this: political choices have consequences, too.

You can choose to be anti-choice, and women can choose not to date you.

Consequences! They're not just for women anymore!

Your response to My Friend's Kinky Son struck a chord with me. When I was a preschool kid, my evangelical next-door neighbor presented me with a magnificently illustrated Bible— which I still have. The only part of that Bible that piqued my interest was a graphic image of the Israelites in bondage in Egypt: lots of sweat, whipping, and blood. I was excited by this image, Dan, and I was only four years old! By the time I was a teenager, I was collecting bondage porn (magazines back in those days) and crafting my own bondage gear. Inevitably, my prying mother found my kinky stash.

Much shaming and lecturing ensued.

It made not a bit of difference: I just got better at hiding my stash. Being berated for one's sexual preferences by your parents as a child is probably an inevitable part of having BDSM tastes, just as it is for a lot of gay people, but it can't "change" someone.
