A fresh lookat Champaign-Urbana

magazinePick up a copy every Friday

As I’ve undoubtedly mentioned once or twice in earlier col-umns, I love spending summers in Urbana. I love how daily life slows down to a com-fortable, nostalgic pace - but at the same time, I love that so

many community members stay active amidst these lazy months, planning and hosting events that bring people together and exemplify the creative and welcoming nature defi nitive of C-U. In this past week, our town will have seen mul-tiple shows featuring local and touring bands, the second installment of the Urbanalove movie series and a DIY music fest, featuring the talents of local punk bands and made possible by a com-munity of people driven by passion. I’m sure I’ve already said something along these lines as well, but I am truly lucky to share a hometown with this ilk of human being.

There are so many exciting things happen-ing here and now, yet this summer has been a weird one for me. As one of my fi rst “adult-ish” summers, it has been markedly different than its predecessors. Many of my longtime friends are travelling across the country or working long hours, which is exciting but has also led to the inevitable realization that the people whom I care about are actually growing up – a transition that, until very recently, seemed unlikely (even impossible) for quite a few of my closest friends.

One such person is my younger brother – who, it surprises me to admit, has become my best friend. Growing up, we were the type of siblings that required physical separation (via a pillow, backpack, anything) of the backseat we shared during long car rides to avoid hostility. But some-where along the way, he has slowly, gradually and accidentally become the most reliable per-son in my life. He’s been travelling throughout Argentina for the past fi ve months and I really miss the little guy. Urbana, summer and our childhood home aren’t the same when he’s gone.

Next week, my parents and I are making the trek to visit him. I’ve spent some time halfheart-edly tuning up my Spanish and preparing for the trip but just recently realized how excited I am for it. Summer really isn't summer without him, which I guess serves as another reminder of the cliched truth that place is important, but so are the people sharing it with you.

»WET THE BEDI was drinking coffee in bed this morning, but I brought the mug toward my mouth with too much speed and ended up

sloshing lukewarm coffee all over my pillow. On the bright side, I get to wake up to the smell of coffee every morning from now until I wash my sheets.

»NORTHSIDE FESTIVALThe folks over at Northside Festival in Brooklyn hooked me up with a press pass for every day of the fest last weekend. I

got to check out Against Me!, Mitski, Cayetana, Viet Cong, Ex Hex and more. Not a bad week-end.

»SISTERLY LOVINBeing able to thoroughly embarrass my sister while she's on campus for ISYM, a summer band/orchestra camp--it's so much fun being

an older, wiser, less socially-inhibited sibling that can share all the fun family stories with her new friends...

»POWER OUTAGEWent into work today with everything going smoothly! All the design work was get-ting done early, and I felt that it would be quick and simple

magazine drop for the night. Of course, some-thing had to go wrong. The power went out and everything in the system got messed up... But I'm staying strong! We're working things out as I type this message to you all, so if this reaches you then that means our job was completed! (:

We do this for you guys <3

SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY: UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

EXTENSION MASTER GARDENER GARDEN WALK

NATALKA FYDYSHYN

With summer foliage in full bloom, it’s about time to stop and smell the roses...and vegetables and compost. The University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Garden Walk provides the perfect opportunity to tour neighborhood gardens without actually getting your hands dirty. The theme this year is “Scents and Sensibility," combining the elegant beauty of nature along with the efficiency of sustainable practices implented by these eco-friendly gardeners. This walk features homeowner gardens in Champaign and Urbana that use sustainable methods such as composting, collecting rain in barrels, and growing vegetables at home. The event will be taking place this Saturday, June 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 or $12 the day of, sold at the University of Illinois Extension Office and various Garden Centers. Hopefully the walk will inspire you to try ‘going green’ in your own garden, or at the very least brighten your day with cheery plants and friendly neighbors.

CLEARING THE SMOKENISHA CHOKSI

BLACK DOG Smoke & Ale House is an Ur-bana favorite due to the well-

prepared barbecue and energetic staff. Its casual and rustic ambiance always draws in a large crowd.

When I visited Black Dog, our waiter immediate-ly greeted my party and me after we were seated. I ordered the burnt ends sandwich with sides of twice-baked potato casserole and coleslaw. I also chose the Georgia Peach barbecue sauce, which had the classic taste of good barbecue sauce with a delicious sweetness to it. It paired perfectly with the smoky, savory taste of the burnt ends. The burnt ends had a crunchy exterior while the inside of each piece pulled apart with ease. The twice-baked casserole had cheese oozing throughout the fl uffy potatoes. The coleslaw added refreshing bites in between the meal. The restaurant was buzzing with activity during our visit, but the staff remained attentive to each table.

With its top-notch barbecue and its pleasant-ly bustling atmosphere in high demand, Black Dog is opening a second location in downtown Champaign. Michael Cochran, owner of Black Dog Smoke & Ale House, offers buzz insight on his barbecuing past and inspirations as well as

an update on the new Champaign location at 320 N. Chestnut Street: »buzz: What inspired you to create a barbeque place?»Michael Cochran: Barbeque started as a hobby. It was just at home, and I was always cooking when growing up. I was making stuff that I wanted at a restaurant. I thought it would be something that other people were looking for too.»buzz: When did you open up Black Dog in your Urbana location?»MC: February of 2009.»buzz: What makes your smoker and your recipes so unique?»MC: We just do it the real way. We do it with coal. We cook with fi re basically--that’s the only heat source. We use a dry rub and cook everything low and slow--just trying to be real about how we do it.»buzz: What item on the menu uses up the most time in the smoker?»MC: The burnt ends. They cook once as a part of the whole brisket and then they cook for another 10 to 12 hours by themselves.»buzz: What inspires your menu, and has it changed signifi cantly since you opened up?

»MC: No, it hasn’t really changed too much. We sort of went with the barbecue standards and borrowed from different regions all around the country. We’ve added things through the years and experimented a bit, but the core menu has remained the same.»buzz: What would you say is your most popu-lar dishes?»MC:The pulled pork, brisket and burnt ends.»buzz:How did you go about picking your Cham-paign location? What inspired you to create a second establishment there?»MC: We wanted a second place because we hear customers won’t want to go to Urbana because they don’t want to wait in line and can’t get a seat. We fortunately have a lot of people waiting in line for a lot of years and we fi gured that the demand was there for a second location. Also, there’s an opportunity for us to have a kitchen that suits what we do. We sort of cobbled the one together in Urbana and now we should have one that works pretty well for us. For the location itself, the older building suits what our aesthetic choice consists of. We found one with some history to it as well as some parking that goes along with it.»buzz: Currently there’s just pick up at your

Champaign location, correct?»MC: We’ve just been doing Friday and Satur-day for the last few weeks. And we are gradually going to add days on either side of that. Before we open up completely, we hope to get to four or five days a week where we are open regularly for carry out. And then once we get the dining room open, then we’ll be open with consistent hours. The dining room area is not done yet. In a couple months, that’ll be finished and we’ll open up as a full restaurant.»buzz: Do you think it’s going to be difficult to manage two restaurants or will it be something that is easily overcome?»MC: It’s going to be all of the above. There are parts that are going to be difficult, and there are parts that are going to be easier. There’s more things to consider and manage, but at the same time, it’s going to be easier considering what we already do.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS FRIDAY?MELISA PUTHENMADOM

buzz chats with Kelly White, current Ex-ecutive Director at 40 North, about

the performance series that has been rocking downtown Champaign for the past four summers: Friday Night Live (FNL). White joined 40 North as Project Coordinator for Art & Sol, a pilot for what would become FNL, and Sight Specifi c in 2009. Since then, she’s been thrilled by the way FNL has evolved over the seasons and is eager to see what’s in store for next summer. Catch performances at Walnut & Chester, Neil & Park, and Neil & Curch (One Main Plaza) every Friday from 6-8 p.m, and visit 40north.org/fnl for their weekly lineup.»buzz: What’s the history behind FNL? Why start up a series for free street-side performances?»Kelly White: In 2009, 40 North kicked off a pilot program called Art & Sol with support from the City of Champaign. The idea was inspired by some of the outdoor performances we had coordinated during the Boneyard Arts Festival. The program involved monthly (Thursday nights) guerrilla-style street-side performances throughout downtown Champaign during the summer. Art & Sol was a very successful program for 3 years but it was diffi cult to build impact and recogni-tion with only a once-a-month schedule. Then in May of 2012, Bank Champaign approached us [about] getting involved with a similar type of performance series that would give people who live, work or are visiting our community a reason to head to downtown Champaign every week. With additional support from the Champaign Center Partnership and Illini Radio Group, we were able to evolve and grow Art & Sol into a weekly summer event (re-branded as Friday Night

Live) that not only created a vibrant atmosphere that encouraged people to stroll around, enjoy live local music, stop in the retail shops, etc. but also gave performers a new type of venue to showcase their talents. Midland States Bank took over for Bank Champaign last year and No Regrets Tattoos joined us this year as a title sponsor. The reception has been fantastic. Seeing the di-verse crowds strolling around downtown every Friday combined with each performer’s individual fan base has completely exceeded our expecta-tions. This is our fourth summer for Friday Night Live and it continues to grow on all levels.»buzz: How have you seen FNL evolve over the years? Do you have regular performers that stay in contact, or are you seeing a lot of new acts?»KW: It has defi nitely evolved over the years. In the beginning we would sometimes go unplugged but have now concluded with all the street and traffi c noise that amplifi cation is a must. With 3 years of Art & Sol under our belt, we had already established the locations that logistically worked the best for crowd gathering, electricity access, and audience reach… With the 3 different loca-tions, we are able to book all types of groups—whether a duo or a full 6-member band with tons of equipment—we can make it work. We book both seasoned veterans as well as emerging per-formers with little to no experience. Friday Night Live is a perfect opportunity for new artists to get their feet wet. We’ve had many bands that have had their fi rst live performance at FNL!»buzz: What do you see the various groups in-volved (40 North and its sponsors, the artists, the audiences) get out of contributing to the series?»KW: We’ve gotten an overwhelming positive

response from everyone involved. The performers get a paid gig and reach a broad audience but they also tell us how much they enjoy the street-side atmosphere where they feel the direct impact on the audience. The audiences love the vibrancy it brings to downtown and the diverse amount of music that is offered every week. It’s super acces-sible and of course the kids activities are a huge hit with families. Our sponsors have expressed great pride in supporting both the arts and the economic impact of downtown. As the Cham-paign County Arts Council with the mission of cultivating creativity in this community, 40 North couldn’t be more thrilled with the success of this program. We are directly impacting the artists while also demonstrating the immense vitality the arts bring to this community. People share stories all the time of how when they have visitors in town, they always bring them to FNL to show off the super cool city they call home!»buzz: Can you highlight some performances/share any stories that have drawn a crowd this season or in the past? What sorts of collabora-tions perform other than musicians?»KW: There are several groups that have huge fan bases and draw a crowd no matter where they perform but FNL provides them with a whole new audience in additional to their regulars. Dance groups—including belly dance and African dance groups—always hypnotize the crowd and leave them wanting more. Some of the larger cover bands get a huge response with some of the clas-sic nostalgic tunes that they perform fl awlessly. Some of the kids’ groups that we book (Cham-paign Park District Dance Arts, the Conserva-tory of Central Illinois, the CUperSTARS, etc.)

are always a huge hit with family and friends as well as the general downtown crowd. With the accessibility of the audience, several groups really interact with the crowd and get them involved—some of which have played long after the sched-uled time because they were having so much fun! »buzz: What can people look forward to before the end of summer with FNL?»KW: We run every Friday through August 28th and the schedule is almost completely booked. We will have belly dancing, indie rock, bluegrass, soul, jazz, classic rock, folk, blues, Americana, and pop performances as well as [activities including] face painting, glitter tattoos, caricatures, carni-val games, and of course the kids’ chalk contest on July 31st! There will be a ton of new bands performing their fi rst FNL as well as several FNL alums that are looking forward to being back street-side! »buzz: How do you see this series growing in the future?»KW: If we can secure the funding, we would like to add a fourth location next summer. With Black Dog opening and Exile on Main and Dandelion re-locating, we are hoping to coordinate an ad-ditional location in that area. We would also love to increase the visual art component—whether a special once-a-month open studio event or even a mini pop-up display from local artists—we are discussing ways to add a consistent visual art experience to downtown Champaign on Friday nights in the summer. FNL has grown every year and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down—we are in for the ride!

THEE DEATH TOWER CELEBRATES LOCAL DIYBUZZ MUSIC STAFF

THE Champaign-Urbana music scene is not only blessed with a series of vibrant fes-

tivals throughout the year (including The Pyg-malion Festival, Ellnora and more) as well as a diverse DIY scene.

On Saturday, the DIY venue Thee Death Tower brings out C-U’s DIY ethos to put on a different kind of festival with its all-day DEATH/DEATH/DEATH “Fest.” Featuring punk, hardcore, noise bands and more, DEATH/DEATH/DEATH “Fest” is the per-fect way to spend a summer day – by supporting local music with your fellow punks.

Local DIY venues like Thee Death Tower provide our music scene with an invaluable service. They provide a safe, all-ages space for bands to perform outside of the bars. That’s not to discount the bar scene – it is, of course, the backbone of the scene in terms of attracting touring acts and providing a consistent lineup of shows - but DIY spaces offer another channel for local bands to perform, espe-cially for those just starting out in music. DIY builds a tight-knit but welcoming music community, one that thrives on collaboration and mutual support.

Right now, we have Thee Death Tower, Dingbat Dungeon and Error Records as the three DIY ven-ues that regularly put on shows in Champaign-Urbana. A strong, consistent DIY community is something that’s diffi cult to build up, but all it takes is a lack of participation and support for it to break down.

For those who haven’t yet experienced what the C-U DIY scene has to offer, DEATH/DEATH/DEATH “Fest” is the perfect opportunity to start getting involved.

Although headliners Trauma Harness had to drop out, Thee Death Tower is still kicking things off at 3 p.m with Rotter, and the music keeps going

until well past midnight. On top of the music, the “fest” will also serve as a summer cookout of sorts, which starts at noon. The event is all-ages with a suggested donation of $5-$10. All of the the details are on the Facebook event page, and the venue’s address can be found by messaging one of the event’s administration.

Here’s just a few of the many bands we’re excited to see play at Thee Death Tower tomorrow, fol-lowed by the full line-up with set times:

The Dingbats: The Dingbat Dungeon’s house band makes a rare appearance outside of the Dun-geon on Saturday. The Dingbats draw from early protopunk infl uences to put on a simple, fun punk performance. Lead singer Gabe Kuhlman has a bizarre (but captivating) stage presence – he’s known to nearly stumble right into the crowd and even get on all fours and bark like a dog during a performance. The Dingbats will no doubt give a fun, no-frills performance Saturday. – Christine Pallon

ACKER: What’s most exciting about ACKER’s set is their ability to mold and shape such varying sounds in each song. The layering of the guitars, percussion and cello in songs like “Fear Genera-tion” and “Half-mast” off of their album Sea Songs, build, blend, and mesh together so well; they create something so much more than just rock music. The pure orchestration and the balance between electric and acoustic instruments will be, for me, the highlight of the festival. – Caroline Kalkowski

Ode Vinter: Are you craving for the droning sounds of death and destruction? Ode Vinter will surely get you your fi x. With eight albums released in the past three years, Champaign’s prolifi c black metal band brings the loudest and most evil tones that an electric amp can bare to produce. There could be no way to anticipate Ode Vinter’s slowly

climaxing moments of doom or demonic vocal chanting. – Westley Banks

Asthma: Springfi eld’s Asthma comes to C-U just one week after playing Dumb Fest 3-D in their hometown, and the band recently put out a live tape via ooeygooeytapes in Springfi eld. Asthma will hit Thee Death Tower’s stage late in the eve-ning, and their energetic hardcore punk set will surely make for a wild show. – Christine Pallon

Marathon: With an ambient and experimental sounds Urbana’s Marathon will be a welcome ad-dition to the varying sounds and styles of this year’s “fest.” Brandon Beachum’s ability to produce the layers of psychedelic tones with his self-described “guitarkestra” of six guitarists, two drummers and a vibraphone truly pushes the boundaries of drone music, as shown in the song “Mantle.” It will be interesting to see how Marathon’s sound will trans-fer over onto the stage live at Thee Death Tower tomorrow. – Caroline Kalkowski

Earth Witch: After a bit of touring and while being on the cusp of releasing a few new tracks, Earth Witch returns to their hometown to play at Thee Death Tower. Earth Witch’s music perfectly epitomizes sludge metal with massive guitar riffs, pounding drums, and distraught lyricism. The trio fi lls rooms with a much more powerful and ener-getic sound than can be expected from just three instruments, and does so with terrifying precision. – Westley Banks

DEATH/DEATH/DEATH “Fest” will take place at Thee Death Tower in Champaign on Saturday, June 20. Music starts at 3 p.m. Suggested donation of $5-$10. All ages. The address of the venue can be found by messaging an administrator of the festival’s Facebook event.

SUSTAINABLE HAPPINESSNATALIE DURST

ONE of the most thrilling moments of fresh-man orientation is the instant you take

your fi rst steps into the dining hall. Immediately, the smell of homemade soups, visionary meats and endless salad bar options overwhelms your senses. The heavenly waft of food never lessens throughout our college careers, and in a lot of ways the dining hall is our sanctuary. Even though we have spent hours studying the french fries, constructing hamburgers and perfecting salads, we rarely study the people behind our fortress of happiness. In fact, University of Illinois students have their peers to thank for our safe haven of food. The Sustainable Student Farm is a produc-tion farm, run by students and volunteers, that provides locally grown food to our resident halls. Luckily, we have access to the delicious produce on the quad, too! So, in your apartment or during the summer when you fi nd yourself buried under microwavable dinners and fast food wrappers, there is still an organic silver lining to be found right on the quad.

The Sustainable Student Farm is an organization that has been serving fresh vegetables for about 7 years now. Beginning as a project to grow food

for the dining halls, the Farm has grown into a suc-cessful service that has far exceeded their goal. Now, they are supplying vegetables to multiple dining halls on campus and they have also planted educational roots at U of I. According to manager Matt Turino, “The biggest market that we have are the dining halls on campus, but we also have a lot of crop science majors that want to involve themselves educationally.” Sustainable Student Farm has discovered the perfect combination: food and education. And our dining hall experi-ences are heightened by the student involvement that goes into these farms.

Withdrawals from dining hall food are raging this summer, but the Sustainable Student Farm serves the cure. Not only does it supply the fresh veggies to the dining halls, but you can also fi nd them on the quad selling their produce. Perfect for the summer weather, Turino says: “Sustainable Student Farms sell everything from fresh greens like lettuce, sweet peppers, to lots of herbs and tomatoes.” In order to appease the rumbling that is occurring in your stomach right now, you can visit the Anniversary Plaza where students and volunteers working with the Farm are selling

produce. Located on the south side of the Illini Union, fresh vegetables will be sold during May through November on Thursdays from 11a.m. until 5 p.m. Now, instead of struggling to open a can of tomatoes for your bowl of spaghetti, you can go to the quad and purchase fresh, plump tomatoes grown by your peers. There’s nothing better than the taste of home, especially after a diffi cult exam, and the Sustainable Student Farms is every bit of home that we need.

The Farms are a great resource on campus for students to get involved in—even if that means just buying some produce for the fridge. With several goals like providing sustainable food to dining halls, giving research to students and sell-ing to small-scale food systems, the Student Farm has a lot on their plate. That’s why student volun-teers are so important for the Farms. There’s no doubt that the helping hands of students make for the best growth and success. Turino says, “During the school year, we have a lot of student volunteers which is really neat for insight and it’s how we continue to exist.” Students who work for the Farm are able to gain hands-on experi-ence, and the success of the farm relies on the

students who participate. There are invaluable benefi ts for working on the farm too, such as re-search and even some free produce! During peak harvest days, the Farm allows their volunteers to take home some of the market grade produce because of their hard work. It’s no doubt that the Sustainable Student Farms is a great organiza-tion--what’s better than learning about the food you’re growing, and then getting to eat it?

Now, when you walk into the dining hall ready to crack the books on some delicious food, you will also know whom to thank for the fresh vegetables that are served. The Sustainable Student Farms work hard to give us a taste of home, and it’s truly refl ective on what Illinois and its students have to offer. If you are interested in getting involved with the Farm, making some fresh purchases, or just saying thanks, please visit thefarm.illinois.edu. Don’t forget, you can learn more about the farm or stock your fridge by visiting the quad Monday-Thursday from 11am-5pm! College is made up of a lot of exams, a lot of stress, and a lot of eating. Luckily, Sustainable Student Farms gives students the best research and the best meals: it’s the best recipe for the best college experience.

MOVIE REVIEW: JURASSIC WORLDJOSH PETERSON

I don’t think anyone expected Jurassic World to be the record-breaking hit that it has been so far. A

success yes, but to break the weekend box offi ce re-cord, not just for North America, but also the world? To be the fi rst movie ever to gross over $500 million worldwide in an opening weekend? Those kind of things just aren’t expected from a movie that is tech-nically the fourth in a franchise’s cannon.

What’s beautiful about Jurassic World though is the reason it has seen this much success is because of all the times it almost died in devel-opment hell. Spielberg initially confi rmed the ex-istence of a fourth Jurassic Park movie in 2002, just a year after Jurassic Park III. Had this movie come out closer to then, it would have just been another in a series of sequels, only drawing in those that had seen the fi rst three fi lms. But after 14 years without a dinosaur movie, Jurassic World comes at just the right time to capture all different kinds of audience members. Adults who remem-ber that Jurassic Park was one of the best movies that they’ve ever seen, a whole new generation of kids that have never seen a dinosaur in a movie theater before and then young adults like me, who

remember seeing Jurassic Park as a kid and being overcome by the sense of wonder that movie in-stilled in us, and love the idea of a fi lm that could make us feel that same way again. Jurassic World is no masterpiece, but it is a thrillingly fun summer movie that makes you remember why you love going to the theater.

Set 22 years after the event of the fi rst fi lm, Isla Nublar is now home to a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, John Hammond’s dream fi nally come to life. Some of the movie’s best moments come when it tries to chase after the wonder from Spiel-berg’s original fi lm. A sequence in which two boys cheer as they sit in the splash zone of a prehistoric underwater monster that eats a shark as if it were a fi sh stick is this fi lm’s version of Dr. Allan Grant getting out of a Jeep and staring up at a Bronto-saurus for the fi rst time. The scene doesn’t hold the same kind of weight as the original, but Juras-sic World in general isn’t worried about living up to the more in-depth musings of it’s predecessor. In fact, if there is something this fi lm is missing, it’s Ian Malcolm. The genetically engineered killing machine Indominus Rex that ends up terrorizing

the island is a statement about corporate greed, since it was created due to a request from the park’s owner to it’s chief geneticist for something “cooler” to keep attendance rates steady. That’s all fi ne, but not nearly as interesting as Jeff Gold-blum talking about chaos theory.

World compensates for this lack of death in the best way though – by simply being fun as hell. Director Colin Trevorrow is one of many indie di-rectors that have been plucked up by Hollywood and given the reins to enormous franchises. He had only directed one feature length before this, an indie comedy called Safety Not Guaranteed. While it’s not a particularly good fi lm, Trevorrow manages takes a boring story and add a bouncy, captivating energy to it, making the tiny project feel like something much larger than that. This is a guy that was born to direct blockbusters, and it shows in Jurassic World’s grandiose action se-quences. He’s also not afraid to be funny, and allows Jake Johnson, who plays a goofy tech op-erator, to stretch himself to the point of caricature in order to keep the more tense moments of the fi lm from being too much so. He kills it, of course

(I ride and die for Jake in case you were wonder-ing,) but it is a bit odd for a movie with this high of a body count (I lost track about an hour in) to feel so wholly light and inconsequential.

Then again, that could also be attributed to the star of this fi lm, the Velociraptor training, cocky smug wearing, Indiana Jones in everything but a name, the one and only skinny Chris Pratt! Pratt plays Owen Grady, the park’s resident raptor trainer and general badass. He is infectiously like-able, even while being condescending, and backs up his happy asshole persona by basically being cool as hell, and saving pretty much everybody. That scene from the trailer where he rides his mo-torcycle with a pack of raptors? Ten times cooler in the theater. With anyone else in the role Jurassic World would be a great movie, but with Pratt it’s the biggest blockbuster of the summer. There’s a scene where the two kids that need to be saved watch Owen do his best Indy impersonation (re-ally, all he needs is the bullwhip!) and then beg to stay with him so that they can feel safe. If I were a studio executive at this point, I’d be begging the same thing of Pratt.
