E D I TO R ’S N OT ETYLER DURGAN

Well, I did it. It finally happened: Eight years after the magic of MySpace introduced me to CU legends Braid and their 1996 record, Frame and Canvas, their ineffable tribute to emo, punk and life as

a 20-something, the stars finally aligned at last weekend’s Mariposa Music Festival when I got to see the hometown heroes perform in their home-town. What a show. As the realization that yes, this is actually happening, settled into a flurry of nos-talgia and euphoria (possibly even nirvana when new-album, No Coast, cut and set-opener “Bang!” led straight into “Killing A Camera”), it occurred to me that Bob Nanna and co. still rock as hard as they did nearly two decades ago. The desperation and urgency of the tunes manage to still sound desperate and urgent, despite the years.

Listening to forerunners of the current so-called “emo revival,” you might not believe any time has passed at all since Braid were just four university students impersonating INXS, The Smiths or R.E.M. at Blind Pig during The Great Cover Up. Listen to You Blew It’s “Pinball House” or Tiny Moving Parts’ “Along the Lakeside” and notice the guitar tones, twinkling melodies, arhythmic syncopation and youthfully wistful lyrics—it’s all there. It could be 1996 all over again (not that I’m complaining).

Although it is clear that Braid’s reach and im-pact extends far past Champaign, the crowd at Mariposa Saturday night proved there remains a deep mutual affection between Braid and our city. Chris Broach actually conveyed his personal at-tachment to our social-media-monster mayor to Anwen in last week’s buzz interview: “We go back with Don. He used to play in The Moon Seven Times, and we recorded at his house back in the day. It was really kind of fun to be there and see this guy that we knew who used to be in bands as the mayor.”

So here’s to Braid, Mariposa, Don Gerard, CU and everything and everyone involved in making Mariposa the best weekend all summer. Chris Davies put it best in his review of the fest for SmilePolitely: “If the Champaign Park District wants to make Mariposa Music Festival a yearly thing, they won’t get a word of complaint from me.” Me neither.

» Sharknado 2: I was informed today by the TV at the local gas station that Sharknado 2 will be premiering on July 30 on the SyFy channel. This time Tara Reid and company will be fighting sharks in

the New York City. My first thought was that this date should instantly become a national holiday. This is because it is the only movie in existence that has successfully combined Tara Reid, hor-rible CGI, questionable knowledge of science, a romantic story line and violent deaths. Sharknado is something to be admired and I only have high hopes for the sequel.

If there is one thing that Illinois is known for, its farming expertise. What better way to celebrate this than with a county fair? This year, the Cham-paign County Fair will start this Friday, July 18 and run until Saturday, July 26.

With approximately 1,500 entry classes in this year’s fair, the event has become one of the greatest displays of agriculture in the country. The many entries include culinary items (who doesn’t love some home-cooked meals?), agri-cultural products and even a talent show. The fair has attracted families from all over with its many contests, games and concerts.

According to the event schedule, guests can look forward to seeing bands such as Blackjack Billy, Blackberry Smoke and Scotty McCreery (previous American Idol winner). Let’s not forget the crowd-favorite event: the tractor pulls.

The Champaign County Fair truly has something for everyone to enjoy, and it has become a proud sta-ple of CU. Don’t forget to bring your cowboy boots!

It’s rare that a sequel tops its predeces-sor, especially when the first movie

is already a reboot of a beloved classic television series; 22 Jump Street manages to do just that. The movie takes everything that was great about 21 Jump Street, gives audiences more of it, and ups the ante in every way.

Where 22 Jump Street first goes right is in deliv-ering on the first movie’s final promise: “You sons of bitches are going to college” (or something along those lines). Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) find themselves attending MC State University undercover, investigating a drug case much like the one from their previous mission. To gain the trust of their peers, the two get involved in the usual college groups and ac-tivities, from frat partying to slam poetry. While the movie can’t resist following the tropes of other college-set comedies, from the frat party sequence to the insufferable roommate dynamic, it paves a path of its own with its buddy cop ele-ments and the main stars’ bromantic chemistry.

Another way 22 Jump Street bucks the lackluster sequel trend is that it’s not a carbon copy of its predecessor as is often the case with comedies (i.e. The Hangover Part II). In fact, the comedy in 22 Jump Street actually seems to poke fun at re-petitive sequels when Jenko and Schmidt at first struggle to pinpoint the drug dealer, and Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) reassures them that the case is “the exact same thing.” Nonetheless, a hilari-ous twist ending that takes the main characters to Mexico proves Dickson wrong and earns the movie some extra points for originality.

The movie also excels in its action sequenc-es, working in some creative set pieces like a “Lambo” (Jenko’s favorite car) and a sculpture garden. The film’s special effects budget was not spent in vain, and multiple over-the-top sequences both provoke chuckles from viewers and serve as glorious eye candy.

Hill and Tatum once again make a surprisingly uproarious duo, and none of their chemistry has worn off in this second go-around. In fact, Ta-

tum’s comic chops are improving and, he holds his own against Hill, who is very experienced and skilled in the comedy genre, having played in films such as Superbad and Get Him to the Greek, while Tatum has more of a background in action and romance films. While the two lead-ing actors deliver some outrageous moments, there is an underlying realism to their perfor-mances that makes them believable (even in a comedy), and despite their unique looks and acting styles, are believable as brothers. The supporting cast offers up plenty of laughs as well, most notably Ice Cube, whose character Captain Dickson gets into a feud with Hill’s and has a hilarious breakdown during a lavish meal.

Stick around for the end credits because there are promos for the next twenty Jump Street films, which at this point don’t sound like such a bad idea. Okay, 2121 Jump Street might be overkill, but directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller should definitely consider a release of 23 Jump Street in 2016.

AN ABNORMOUS NIGHTThe CU funk rock band celebrates its debut releaseSEAN NEUMANN

G uitarist James Scherer leans back with a guitar in his lap and explains how Abnormous came

together. While most bands form from friendships, the CU funk-rock band developed in the opposite. Finding each other through Craigslist and recom-mendations from friends, the seven members found the band first and friendship later.

The thing is, Abnormous is exactly what it sounds like: a big band with a big sound. The seven-piece band released its debut record, Abnormous Nights, this past Monday and will celebrate this Saturday with a release show at Cowboy Monkey with the Duke of Uke.

The seven-song debut runs a whopping 37 min-utes long and blends the band’s funk, R&B and clas-sic rock roots with jazz-fueled imrpovisation. buzz caught up with the band in its practice space at the Independent Media Center in Urbana to talk about the difficulties and rewards of working with a large band and the release of their album.»buzz: James, you grew up listening to Led Zeppelin. How did you guys end up starting a funk band?»JS: I’d say that Kevin (Wilson) is really the funk-master of the group.»buzz: Kevin, did you aim to make the focus of the band “funk” or was that just how you guys played together?»KW: I think that’s just the natural tendency of the rhythm section of our group—to just do funky stuff—that was just what came out when we were playing. It based itself for the rest of it. I think everyone here has the natural tendency to want to be funky or groovy or not very static, so it just came out that way.»buzz: Did you guys have a direction in mind for the band at first?»JS: No, pretty early on we decided we were all going to have input into it. I’m more of a classi-cal guitarist, Kevin’s more of a funky bass player, Truma (Endsley) is a rock drummer, the horn guys are all jazz guys, Tim (Miles) really sings with an R&B influence and Mike (Myers) is really versatile on the keys. Really, it’s just a blend of each of us.»buzz: Is that easier then, despite having seven mem-bers, that there’s free will when writing?»JS: It’s easy and hard because it’s sort of “too many cooks in the kitchen” sometimes but, we’re pretty good about being open to other people’s sugges-tions, so that helped make the songs come together. I guess ultimately we all have our freedom to do whatever but at the same time when we started

jamming together, the way it grooved and the sound that we ended up making was inevitable because that’s how we all play off each other.»buzz: With musical backgrounds and putting money into a rehearsal space and recording, did the need to be in a band really help you guys pull together as strangers?»JS: Yeah, when we first came together, it all hap-pened in a month’s time or less. We decided to book the practice space because we got kicked out of attics and garages already, and we really took the plunge. We booked the practice space in early Au-gust of 2012 and then booked a show for mid-Sep-tember and another one a week after that before we really had anything. Whenever you have a deadline, you can make stuff happen faster. That’s what really motivates us to get anything done, when we have a deadline coming right up.»buzz: So you guys just push yourself into the flow and eventually get where you want to go?»JS: Yeah, that’s definitely how it starts anyway.

My first band when I was a senior in college, the drummer was like, “Oh yeah, I booked a show. We’re a band now.” »buzz: How difficult was it to get everyone together to record the new album?»Nic Hansen (trombone): It’s varied from time-to-time. I’d say there was a period of time where we were just knocking it out, but summer’s al-ways different.»JS: We were originally planning in September and shooting for December recording and just between weekends not being available and what weekends worked for all of us, it ended up getting pushed all the way back to Super Bowl weekend.

It was really fun because we had two whole days of coming in the morning and staying 10 hours and then we went back for a full day of mixing a month or two later. It was cool.»buzz: Did you guys have to squeeze everything into one weekend or was that by choice?»NH: That was the goal, to knock it out in a short period.»JS: With the money we saved up from shows and stuff that was what could work, basically.»buzz: It costs a lot to put out physical releases as well, and you guys are releasing the new album on CD. Was it easier to split among seven band members?»JS: We had a budget from stuff saved up, but we’re doing it really DIY. We’re burning all our own copies, and Nic’s got a machine to put stickers on them. We’re not really sure how we’re going to make the casing yet (laughs). We’ll have a handful of copies at Exile on Main Street on Monday, and we’ll have more at the show on Saturday. We’re still pretty unorganized but a deadline gets us to do stuff, and the deadline’s still Monday (laughs).»buzz: You did a lot of improv on the recordings. Is that how you guys go into live shows as well?»NH: I’d say, if you’re talking about a topic, ev-erybody has the phrases they like to use or the things they like to say, and that’s their point of view on that topic. Any song is kind of the same thing. I have licks that always pop into my mind and, you’ll see those from take-to-take, but there are always small differences.»buzz: Is there a sense of pride in having a really good improv on a recording?»JS: Well, I think that improv is how our band works in general. That’s how we were able to come together so fast, just because we’ve all got experience with it from the years we’ve jammed

and the horn section’s jazz background. Yeah, there’s a lot of improv, but we try to structure our songs, too. I think the improv element from our live shows can kind of make it like a train going off the tracks. That kind of happens on the album, but on the album we had time to make it kick-ass and really perfectly mix it. Kyle Prillaman did an awesome job so that you can hear it better than you could ever hear it in a live show.»buzz: How was it working with Kyle in the studio?»Matt Sulikowski (saxophone): He has a great set of ears. Anyone who takes the time to study recording engineering, even if their special interest is say, heavy metal, they keep their ears open to other stuff so they know what to listen for and know what people are going for.»NH: I think Kyle was familiar with our music be-forehand, so there was no surprise, and he knew what we were going for.»buzz: Did you guys feel like you accomplished what you wanted to with the record, having to work in a small space of time?»JS: I’d say we were pretty happy with what we got done in the small amount of time we had to get it done. If you were making your perfect record, you’d have infinite studio time. We were kind of a well-oiled machine that weekend and Kyle was a wiz on the engineering of it, so to get five songs done in one weekend, I was really happy with it.»NH: We came up with things that are not pos-sible to do in a live-setting that we ended up in-cluding on the recording, so I think those are fun little things that add a dimension to the music, so there’s something new to experience.

Abnormous will perform this Saturday at Cowboy Monkey for their record release show with the Duke of Uke. The show starts at 10 p.m. and costs $5.

KNOT YOUR AVERAGE COLLECTIONUniversity Library employee weaves community together with unique hobby and collectionMATT MESCHINO

W ith his mountainous piles of crochet sup-plies from all over the world, long-time

University Library employee Gilbert Witte has given much for CU to learn about and explore the unique art passed down from various civilizations throughout history. The origin of the art of crochet dates back as far as 1,500 B.C., when nuns used their fingers opposed to the more effective hooks used today. Witte has gathered countless items since his interested began in 1987, gathering over 7,000 pieces, with some items dating back to 1844.

Witte’s initial reasons for becoming involved in what would become one of the most impres-sive crochet collections in the nation started out as many hobbies do. Witte said he had “finished taking classes and was working full time, so (he had) no need to look for a job.” “I did not have a computer at home, so I had free time,” Witte said. In addition, Witte had “some pregnant friends whom (he) wanted to make baby blankets for.”

Originally, Witte was searching for some cro-

chet information that he could not find other-wise. He then turned his head toward eBay for answers and became very interested in cata-logues produced by Coats & Clark, a widely known consumer and intermediate goods pro-ducer. After countless years of collecting, Witte decided to donate his entire collection, which he has catalogued and prepared himself, to the University of Illinois’ Main Library. These items are currently on exhibit as a special edition of the library’s events, entitled “Knot Forgotten: The Tennyson Library of Crochet and Related Arts at Illinois.” This exhibit revolves around Witte’s contributions to the University Library.

Witte hopes that his collection and awareness of crochet will “inspire art awareness, how fash-ions have changed through the years and how some fashions return, (but) with better colors.”

Currently, there are no other exhibits or col-lections quite like Witte’s donations to the Uni-versity. Witte had been saving for decades and, when his collection became too much to handle

at his own residence, he knew that it was time to give his art a resting home.

Documenting and detailing each piece of Witte’s collection was no easy task. Witte cre-ated and maintained a database of pieces and spreadsheets by publishers in an attempt not to buy, but document pieces that he already owned. After Witte had noticed that the University Li-brary had sent out a message regarding new exhibits, he saw it as his chance to show off his extraordinary assortment of crochet items. The University of Illinois’ Rare Books & Manuscript Library has welcomed these additions warmly and is showing off all of these pieces until Aug. 31, where they will ultimately remain to be seen upon request afterward.

If you are interested in learning exactly how to make one of these wonderful pieces of art at no cost to you, you will want to take advantage of a great event happening this Friday, July 18. Along with the exhibit, there will be a “Crochet Extravaganza” where everyone will have a chance to learn firsthand

how to begin making crochet masterpieces of their own. Witte is teaching pQaathe classes at the event. The crochet class for children 8+ is taking place from 10-11 a.m. in the library’s Marshall Gallery. The adult crochet classes will take place from 2-3 p.m. at the same location. Afterwards, there will be a reception that includes an ugly sweater contest, for which Witte claims he has none!

Many members of the community have al-ready expressed their joyful experiences while visiting the Tennyson Library of Crochet, whose name pays homage to Witte’s great-grand-mother, Flora Emily Tennyson. The University Library is very fortunate to house Witte’s con-tributions, especially because he had essen-tially done all the work for it by preparing and dating all the pieces in the collection. Not many exhibit donors can make this claim.

More information about the events or exhibit, can be found at the Rare Book & Manuscript Li-brary website at http://library.illinois.edu/rbx.

POP-UP PERMIT PROBLEMSThe Urbana Butcher Shop’s new beginning hits a snagPAUL ANGELILLO

A lthough the revamped Urbana “Pop-up” Shop’s first Farm to Fork dinner looked to

herald in a new era of vibrant, one-night foodie de-lights, Joshua Boyd’s boucherie has butted heads with the Champaign-Urbana Public Health Dis-trict. With both a July 7 Smoke Shack event and a July 8 instructional hog butchering class forced to be canceled, the resilience of the Butcher Shop has been smashed by the local government.

Hints at the bureaucratic trouble brewing first came to the fore in a July 3 post by owner Boyd, who was looking to crowdsource a suit against the CUPHD for mandating the Butcher Shop apply to get temporary licenses for their pop-ups. The sudden necessity of a new permit

was baffling, given that the Butcher Shop had operated just fine under a CUPHD health permit that allowed the cooking and cooling of food. Even though Boyd and co. had been serving up grass-fed beef burgers and house-made German sausages for lunch with no prior interference, the sudden switch to the pop-up format crossed a line with the powers that be.

Though Boyd appealed to the CUPHD, the at-tempts fell flat, with the Butcher Shop’s official Facebook page decrying the “terrible decisions regarding us and our permit” by “our health warlords.” Though the language is pointed, the temporary licenses — normally reserved for “church suppers, street fairs, civic celebra-

tions and other similar events” — require two weeks’ notice and a $50 fee for each one-day event. For a business attempting to adapt and use its space constructively despite having to close as a day-to-day butcher, constant pa-perwork and $50 fees seriously hamstring any possible profit from doing pop-ups. Given that the shop hardly fits in with the examples given for “temporary events,” it’s no surprise to see such venom being flung.

With no signs of life or future events planned, the shop seems resigned to the idea that “the health department has made being a busi-ness in Champaign County too tough.” For CU residents, it marks a second, sharper blow just

weeks after the shock of the butcher’s initial closing. One can’t help but feel all the excite-ment and optimism that surrounded the shop’s first pop-up dinner sucked away in an instant. What could and should have been a hub for all the wonderful gastronomic delights the area has to offer is once again reduced to a mere empty storefront.

Boyd will hold a sous chef position at Miga, a modern American restaurant and karaoke lounge set to open in late August in downtown Champaign, ensuring CU won’t be without his vision and passion for long. Nonetheless, it will take the community somewhat longer to cope with the real, final loss of their Butcher Shop.

“I SEE YOU”: RECOGNIZING THE EXTRAORDINARY IN THE ORDINARY WOMAN“That’s What She Said” project brings messages of female empowerment and unity to KrannertBY LATASHA PORTER

“I see you.” Three small words that have so much power. They are words that reveal and simultaneously validate the inner self of each woman who has ever felt that because “she isn’t saving the world or curing cancer,” she isn’t im-portant. These are words that guide the “That’s What She Said” series at Krannert.

“That’s What She Said,” next scheduled for July 19, is more than just a show or a presentation. As co-founder Kerry Rossow explains, it’s a project “started by women, for women,” shining a light on the average woman that allows them to be seen, heard and acknowledged. Beyond simply coming to hear women tell their stories of struggles and triumph, this project takes the standardized image of a woman and rehabilitates it, creating a platform foreveryday women to be recognized as individu-als, supported and admired.

The “That’s What She Said” project began as a simple collaboration of a few women coming

together in the “moffice” (mom-office), a place where Rossow and her counterparts would get together. Here, support was provided for any woman in their community who needed aplace of encouragement. The women realized that they could present a more accurate and empowering image of woman for their daughters just by com-ing together and celebrating their accomplish-ments, presenting their stories and showing the true strength that lies in their experiences.

At each “That’s What She Said” event, a number of womenare chosen to present and, like the variety of women, there is just as vast a variety of stories to hear. The mix of different women allows for a con-nection to be made between every type of woman. Each presenter allows herself to be made vulner-able to the audience and opens up about her life experiences to be seen beyond the label of “college student,” “stay at home mom” or “teacher.”

During the show, women often gain a sense

of pride within themselves, strengthening their inner voice. Regardless of age or sex, the event tends to leave a lasting impression.

Emma Newman, an intern for the “That’s What She Said” project and a college student at Univer-sity, says that she has been greatly influenced by the women she has worked with and the stories that she has heard. She has also participated as a speaker for an event and presented a piece on her male best friend, which helped to create a com-fortable learning zone for the men in attendance to gain a deeper understanding of the women in their lives, while also developing an appreciation for the strength that they posses.

For Kerry Rossow, serendipity and passion have led her tocontinue her work with the “That’s What She Said” project, both locally and beyond. Recently, she and the other co-founders, Jill Harlan and Casey Wakefield, have taken their efforts to Haiti. As an American woman, Rossow realized the great ad-

vantage that she had: the ability tospeak out and have her rights realized. With this realization, she felt obligated to push this project into becoming-something stronger, leading to an upcoming event in Chicago, among many others.

Rossow recounted an experience she had in Haiti, where many women were convinced that they had no story and no importance. One woman even said that she believed “American woman were more important” than she was. In the fol-lowing moment, a screen of separation that so many are blind to was recognized and destroyed by three simple words: “I see you.”

At its core, the events efforts are geared to-ward “encouraging women to live a purposeful life by being who they are created to be,” Ros-sow said. “That’s What She Said” will be held on Saturday, July 19 at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts to show something that is not only entertaining — but meaningful.

SNOWPIERCERThe Art Theater Co-Op, Champaign, Friday, July 18; 7:30 p.m.

In a ruined Earth, a last-ditch effort to halt global warming has resulted in the near extinction of humanity. The survivors of this catastrophe fi nd refuge aboard the Snowpiercer, a train hurtling around the dead world. An oppressive class system takes hold on the train, with affl uent inhabitants clustering at the front and sending guards to the rear to exert control over the lower classes. Those in the back fi nally have enough and decide to take the fi ght to the front. Directed by Bong Joon-Ho (Mother) and starring John Hurt, Tilda Swinton and Chris Evans, the fi lm combines Hollywood-level effects with a gripping story that conveys the fi res of desperation burning in the hearts of warriors in an otherwise frozen, devastated future.
