Hey Gainesville! Rachel here, new editor of INsite. I guess it’s time to tell you a bit about me. I graduated from UF with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a history minor. I took a brief hiatus from INsite while I gained experience in fashion (and dealing with people) in a retail management position. I’m glad to be back with the team. I like playing beach volleyball with friends and cheering on my favorite teams. I love movies and shopping, but on rainy days you’re more likely to find me on a comfy couch with book and coffee in-hand. I’m really excited to share the third-annual Man Issue with you. From protein to poker, drag racing to beer, we wanted to bring you all things MAN. To keep the manly magazine theme going, help us! Submit a picture to assistanteditor@insitegainesville.com of your hairy—ahem, manly—friend’s impressive facial hair to have the chance to enter and win a Novembeard contest and giveaway. Have any other great ideas for INsite? Comments? We want to know!

Zack Peterson is a second-year journalism major at the University of Florida and enjoys being an editorial intern here at INsite because it allows him to discover and experience the happenings of Gainesville. His major contribution to this issue was writing the feature on drag racer Mike Griggs, which he hopes will give visibility to a sport that deserves a larger following. In his free time, Zack enjoys artistic outlets such as creative writing, reading, catching up on good TV shows and getting laughs from improv and sketch comedy. The Tampa native aspires to be a pop culture extraordinaire like Chuck Klosterman.

Megan Alfaro is a 26-year-old graphic design graduate from Pembroke Pines, Fla. So far Megan describes her position as INsite’s assistant editor as “a game of catch up!” Sifting through emails, writing blogs, tweeting and overseeing social media are all part of the job—the real joy for Megan is having a voice in the selection of creative content. This issue, Megan helped behind-the-scenes at the cover photo shoot (see her photos on page 46!) Megan co-owns Bermuda Dream, an online shop founded in Gainesville (and run from here to Los Angeles) that sells vintage clothing and handmade jewelry. Creative projects, photo shooting and styling take up this former GFW model and runway coach’s spare time.

E TAKE TH

STAGE

AT T H E F E S T Rock out to punk bands from all over the world at Fest 11. Prepare yourself for head-banging crowds, well-known bands, excessive amounts of beer and a whole lot of good music because the 11th annual Fest, the largest music festival in Gainesville, will take over the city the weekend of Oct. 26. Music lovers rejoice—with more than 350 bands performing and two new venues, there is a concert for everyone—and all within walking distance of each other. Dead to Me will get the party going Saturday at the Florida Theatre of Gainesville. Watch Lemuria entertain at Stereo that night. See Frank Turner strum his guitar Sunday at :08 Seconds. Check out all the bands and schedule (and buy your weekend pass) at www.thefestfl.com. The Fest Flea Market will also return at the Holiday Inn on University Avenue. From noon to 7pm on the first day of Fest people can purchase all the music memorabilia they can handle. There will be individual day-of sales for each venue on a first-come, first-served basis. Can’t wait? Check out insitegainesville.com to see our coverage of last year’s event.

Show off your talents at the United We Growl Talent Night and get revved up for Homecoming on Oct. 24, at 7pm at the J. Wayne Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. The annual talent show lets students and Gainesville community members dazzle the crowd with their skills. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to raise money for charity—50 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Wounded Warriors. Auditions are every Tuesday this month at the Reitz Union. This year, national anthem auditions will take place at the same time as talent show auditions. Follow Gator Growl & UF Homecoming on Facebook for upcoming information on auditions. A panel of judges will choose one winner to perform the National Anthem at Gator Growl, and winners in each talent category―which includes dance groups, solo singers, bands and others―will perform at Gator Growl. “We have the best shows in Gainesville,” Lauren Herstik, director of the talent show, said. “It’s incredible the amount of talent we have here.” Get prepared for Homecoming by attending Soulfest, a multicultural extravaganza and outdoor concert, on Oct. 19 from 5pm to 10pm. The event celebrates cultural awareness and features performances from student organizations. Stay tuned for more coverage of pre-Gator Growl events—including the Homecoming pageant—by visiting our website.

Take a ride on the Ferris wheel or one of the other 60 carnival rides, games, food and attractions from Belle City Amusements’ “Cleanest Carnival in America.” Grab a mike and wow the crowd in the annual Idol Karaoke contest on Oct. 24 at 7pm. Or, enter the fair pageant for a chance to be crowned Miss or Mr. Alachua County State Queen and King. Catch performances by Nashville artist Randy McNeeley and local bands. To participate in the karaoke contest or the pageant, be sure to visit alachuacountyfair.com to register and review the rules. Tickets can be bought at the gate. Ticket prices are $5 for adults, 13 years old and up; children 12 years old to 6 years old are $2 and children 6 years old and under are free with a paid adult admission. The event will be held on the fairgrounds at 3100 Northeast 39th Ave. near Gainesville Regional Airport.

Celebrate Halloween with Snoopy and Woodstock and all of the peanut gallery at a family-friendly, candy-free screening of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” at the Florida Museum of Natural History on Oct. 31 at 8:30pm. Dress up the kids, put on your spooky costume and hide the candy because this event is all the fun of Halloween without the too-scaryfor-young-kids content. After the film, kids can explore the museum in-costume to earn prizes. People who come dressed as their favorite Peanuts character will gain free admission into the temporary exhibit, “Peanuts…Naturally: Charlie Brown and Friends Explore Nature.” If you’d rather come dressed as a ghost or ghoul, admission is only $4 for adults and $3 for children ages 3 to 17. The exhibit is an exploration of the natural world through Peanuts comic strips and videos. Charlie Brown fans of all ages are encouraged to attend.

SCAVENGER HUNT

www.MYGAINESVILLERESTAURANTS.com

Explore Gainesville like you never have before by joining Gators Bleed Orange and Blue’s first annual scavenger hunt for charity. GatorHunt is a six-day event where teams race around Gainesville to gather clues, take pictures of each other performing silly tasks and use Facebook to check-in at locations around the city in an effort to raise money for a student organization or charity of the team’s choosing. Every task is assigned a point value. The more absurd the task, the more points you collect. By participating, teams can collect free food, BOGO coupons, discounts to local businesses and more. The top performing teams will win money for their organization or charity. The kickoff event will be Oct. 16 at the J. Wayne Reitz Union at 7pm. Team registration is open until Oct. 15. Teams and businesses interested in participating can register at https://sites.google.com/site/gatorsbleed/home/for-charity.

THIS MONTH AT THE HIPP The Hippodrome Theater continues its 40th anniversary by sending us into a roller coaster ride of emotions. Last month its production of Other Desert Cities gripped at our hearts with its tensions and secrets, and now, just in time for Halloween, is the production of the bloody, horrific sensation Carrie. Based on the novel of the same name by iconic horror writer Stephen King, this telekinetic classic has been well received in the northeast and it comes to the Hippodrome Theater for its southeastern premiere. The story centers on Carrie, a young teenager in high school who is constantly berated and tormented by her peers for her religious beliefs and outdated, plain appearance. To make her life even more unbearable, her unstable Christian Fundamentalist mother abuses her at home. When she has her first menstruation during gym,

she is confused and teased even more. But with that coming rite of passage into womanhood, Carrie receives telekinetic powers that are hard to control. When prom comes around, her tormentors are at her mercy now. This bloody drama is not only gripping, but it’s a metaphor for today’s issue of bullying and its gruesome affects on youth. Next month, watch out for A Tuna Christmas—your one-way ticket for an alternate Christmas experience and the classic A Christmas Carol. While you’re there, be sure to check out The Gainesville Art Walk on the last Friday of the month. It features great artists from the local and national levels. Ticket prices for all regular theater performances run from $12 to $30 and can be purchased at www.thehipp.org, or by phone at 352375-4477.

BIG SECRET HEALTH & FITNESS

THE

If you’re eating big and training big, but the mirror isn’t showing it, it’s time to change your strategy. By Jennette Holzworth

t’s easy to blame a lack of results on genetics or a high metabolism. But those aren’t the things holding you back. Energy balance, nutrient timing and an understanding of the body’s response to nutrients must be mastered to have truly effective building, says exercise adviser Michael Mejia and Dr. John Berardi, founder of Precision Nutrition’s Scrawny-to-Brawny program. If you’re not seeing the gains you’d like, odds are you’re not eating as big as you think. What you consider big might be too small to just maintain your current bodyweight—let alone build. Your body won’t have the same caloric demands every day. You could adjust your eating based on your training, but, as the program says, eating the same amount daily will help prevent a plateau. Your body will get the energy it needs on training days to maintain the muscle you’ve built, while surpluses on days away from training will go toward building new mass. Once you know what you should be eating, it’s important to understand the combinations that will increase muscle and not fat. Avoid eating fats and carbohydrates together, and especially carbs alone. These meals trigger an unfavorable insulin spike leading to fat gain. Instead, pair protein with healthy fats to provide your body with the essential fatty acids it needs without spiking your insulin. Occasionally, it’s a good idea to pair carbohydrates with protein (with minimal fat) to trigger an insulin response signaling the body to take up these nutrients into the

muscles for protein and glycogen synthesis. Do this right after a workout, or for one to two meals of the day, to keep your body in build mode. The meals you eat should be based on your body’s sensitivity to insulin. The more sensitive you are, the more responsive your cells will be. QUICK TIP! An oral glucose test from the nearby pharmacy or a fasting glucose test from your doctor will reveal your insulin tolerance levels. Lower numbers mean more sensitivity. The Scrawny-to-Brawny founders recommend insulinsensitive individuals follow a high carb, low fat nutrition plan (50 percent carbs, 35 percent protein and 15 percent fat). Those with moderate insulin sensitivity do best with balanced diets (30 percent carbs, 40 percent protein and 30 percent fat), while those with poor insulin sensitivity should rely less on carbs and more on protein (50 percent protein, 35 percent fat and 15 percent carbs). QUICK TIP! Caffeine and ephedrine (found in diet pills) will lower insulin sensitivity, while strength training, cardiovascular activities and omega-3 fatty acids (found in foods like ﬁsh and tofu) will increase it. Rather than blame genetics for your muscle-building pitfalls, make some adjustments to maximize your results. These small tweaks may be all it takes to shift your training to show you the big results you’ve been chasing.

By John Davisson

YES Yes has been through many incarnations and the band’s latest incarnation recently played the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. It is a much smaller venue than they played in the past and it was great seeing them in such an intimate venue. The Yes fans, now reduced to the die-hards like myself, seemed to enjoy the intimacy too, often roaring approval when the musicians took their turns in the spotlight (and each of them is highly regarded on their respective instruments). Because of the constant changes in the line-up, the shows have varied greatly over the years, mixing recent material and classics. Their biggest problem lately has been the singer slot; Jon Anderson has been in most of the line-ups so he is hard to replace, but their new singer Jon Davison (no relation) did an admirable job of ﬁlling Anderson’s shoes. It can’t be easy singing for Yes as there are long instrumental ﬂights, but he kept busy on percussion when not singing. Yes now includes Alan White, Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Geoff Downes.

The middle of the set featured the entire Fly From Here Suite (Overture and Parts I-V) from the 2011 Fly From Here album. They covered Simon and Garfunkel’s “America” and played “Tempus Fugit,” from Drama, the Yes album with Geoff Downes. The classics included “Yours is No Disgrace,” “I’ve Seen All Good People” and, of course, an encore of “Roundabout.” Throughout the show, it was Steve Howe who amazed me the most. His fingers seemed to float and flutter effortlessly over the fretboard like some advanced spiderbot. He had a solo spot in the middle of the set featuring a jaw-dropping country medley and “Leaves of Green (The Ancient)” with a quick quote from “Whiter Shade of Pale” (which Procol Harum played in the Procol Harum opening set). Steve’s solo turn was worth the price of admission, in my opinion. Chris Squire is still a monster on bass and I enjoyed his work at the show, too. The new line-up seemed happy onstage so maybe they will get a new album out next year and some more touring.

LESS THAN JAKE Back when I was ﬁrst photographing Less Than Jake playing locally, I had no idea I would be celebrating 20 years with them at two shows at the High Dive. The two shows were different— different opening acts, different set lists and different atmospheres. On the ﬁrst night the line-up was more ska/reggae-tinged, with Gainesville’s own Morning Fatty and Orlando’s Supervillains opening the show with sets emphasizing the popular green sound. The band was joking about how hot it was and how they had to be careful as the show was going out over the Internet. On the second night the openers were more on the punk side with Whole Wheat Bread, Nomore and the Duppies. Less Than Jake seemed to have more of their classic songs on the second night, as well as a lot of fans (the air-blowing kind) onstage. They also seemed to be in a better mood, with Roger joking about his huge fanbase in Venezuela and thanking their openers Black-182. It was a fun weekend celebrating 20 years with Less Than Jake, seeing old friends and reminiscing about the old days.

JOHNNY AND EDGAR WINTER Johnny and Edgar Winter are doing shows together, including a date at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater last month. They have always been personal favorites of mine and I have seen them numerous times, but never together. Also on the bill were Rick Derringer, who has had a long history with the Winter brothers, and Kim Simmonds, best known for his work with Savoy Brown. Kim Simmonds opened the show with some Savoy Brown classics like “Tell Mama,” “Poor Girl” and “Louisiana Blues.” Rick Derringer was next and he opened with “Still Alive and Well,” and then an instrumental version of the “Star Spangled Banner” before playing “Real American.” Next up was his ﬁrst hit “Hang On Sloopy,” before ending with “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo,” with Edgar and Kim joining in on tambourine and cowbell, respectively. After a 20-minute intermission, Edgar started with a couple of newer songs. Then came a very extended version of “Tobacco Road,” with Edgar scat-singing parts for the guitarist, bassist and drummer to

replicate. He then strapped on his keytar (a tool he invented to allow him to play the synth while walking around on stage) for a rapturous version of “Frankenstein” (in which he also played some sax and drums), before closing his set with the party rock of “Free Ride.” Legendary blues-guitarist Johnny Winter closed out the show with a generous set that included covers of Ray Charles, Chuck Berry (“Johnny B. Goode”), Bob Dylan (“Highway 61 Revisited”) and Bobby Womack (“It’s All Over Now”). For the rave-up cover of “Jumping Jack Flash,” Edgar, Kim and Rick came out to help on sax and guitars. Johnny may not be as proliﬁc a songwriter as his brother, but he does pick some nice covers and puts his own blues stamp on them. Johnny played seated most of the set, probably due to health issues, but his ﬁngers still danced around the fretboard like nobody’s business and his slide playing was sweet. It is great to still be able to hear him play the blues.

GAMER’S CORNER

NEVER THE SAME GAME TWICE

here are two factors that will either encourage or discourage hobbies: time and money. Finding time can be a difﬁcult but possible thing. If only money worked like that. —Brad McKay

Gaming is one of the worst hobbies in terms of cost. Every day it seems as though a new game is released that you have to have, or the game you already play now has a subscription fee. Companies make additions to games you currently own as downloadable content—but you guessed it, the content costs money. To save cash, you could always just play the games you already own, but after you beat the same game multiple times, the allure eventually fades. Sometimes getting a 100 percent gold coin completion rate isn’t enough. However, all is not lost. There is a secret world within the Internet that births fresh content for games—completely for free. Sometimes it’s just a character swap and sometimes it’s a full re-write, but no matter what, it’s new and it doesn’t cost a penny. And it’s legal, in case you were wondering. It’s called “modding.” Fans skilled at writing computer codes take it upon themselves to create completely new content for their favorite games, and then host it on the Internet for fellow game players to download and enjoy. Some networks such as Steam, a game download and play service, even gathers these mods and ofﬁcially hosts them through its Workshop service, giving players an easy resource for ﬁnding game additions. Sometimes mods are just little tweaks to the game you enjoy. Fallout 3 ReAnimated cleaned the animations of the game characters for more naturallooking animations. Skin downloads for Space Marine garb the main characters

in different armor from elsewhere in the universe. Still own a copy of Doom? You can download mods to turn it into a retrolooking Batman title. While most mods are simple additions—a new set of weapons, two new monsters or maybe a new quest to complete—some are almost brand new games. Andoran, a mod for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, gifts players with a wideopen, lore-friendly island to explore. There are hours of additional quests and a non-linear story to unfold. It features new animations, tons of eye candy and most of all, lots of places to explore. Though modding unleashes a whole new universe of potential game content, it does have two drawbacks. The first is it’s ripe with, shall we say, unsavory modifications. Sometimes these types of mods are purposefully masked as something helpful or non-offensive, so make sure to download mods only from reliable sources such as Curse.com. The second drawback is that while some console mods do exist, by far the largest community of modders creates only PC programs. (Sorry Xbox 360 and PS3 players, but you’ll have to stick with buyable downloadable content for now.) So for a cheap solution to buying a new game every week, check out what mods exist for your favorite games—or maybe even find a moddable game you never thought to look at before. Your wallet will thank you.

WARNING: Modding is

generally a PC-gaming-exclusive activity. Also, while modding a game can be a rewarding and fun experience, be sure you know which ﬁles you’re changing and how mods work together. You don’t want to end up downloading a game all over again because you’ve permanently altered a crucial ﬁle.

BEN AFFLECK STAR POWER

en Affleck has been on the Hollywood scene since cowriting Good Will Hunting back in 1998. This time, Ben directed a historically based political thriller, casting himself as real-life CIA operative Tony Mendez in Argo. The movie-within-a-movie features U.S. embassy workers fleeing an Iranian hostage takeover in 1979—while filming a Hollywood sci-fi extravaganza. We talked to Ben about embellishing résumés, casting his real-life leading lady, and sporting some big hair. —Prairie Miller

There’s a lot of ‘70s hair in this movie. How did you like your new look?

I hated it! Alan Arkin got away with keeping his current hairdo, but I had to grow out kind of like this Davey Jones-Barry Gibbs thing. I knew I was doing the movie enough in advance, so I could kind of grow it out. And everybody really went for it. There was no vanity among the actors. Whether growing out a mustache or wearing a wig. There was no “I gotta look good.”

How did you first get involved with Argo, and why did they see you as the right director to pull it off?

When this project came along, I was like, I have a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern Studies. You know, I made up all kinds of bullshit! I actually wrote a couple of papers in college about the Iranian revolution, although I’m sure they were terrible. I can’t say I technically majored in that, because I didn’t graduate. But how often do you get to make a movie on a subject like this? The truth is that Warner Bros. took a chance on me to make a movie that was very unconventional. It had a lot of elements that could trip you up and would be a challenge to sell. But I think they were conﬁdent in my ability to do that and I’m really, really

grateful because I got to make a movie that I’m really proud of. I’ve worked on movies where I didn’t feel that way.

How did you go about making a thriller that’s going to keep people on the edge of their seats?

I think that sounds harder for the director than it is. You really just rely on a good screenplay that’s rooted in reality.

Is it harder to be a director than an actor?

It kinda sounds like ass kissing, but the truth is that the cast often came up with ideas that were a lot more interesting than mine. They came in and made my job feel really easy. And I thought, in a way, I’m gonna get all the credit for this.

Were you scared of any political repercussions? I actually felt quite safe shooting in Turkey.

Is it true that you were once told that you’re too tall to be a leading man in movies? I’ve been told so many ugly things! So...I’ll just take your word for it.

Is there a downside to fame?

It concerns me that you can become cut off from real life. I’ve seen it happen with others, and you hear about how their lives changed. You see it in their work; it’s less and less about real life. They stop having real experiences to draw on. Then there’s a danger to your own personality, if you surround yourself with people who just want to be near you for sycophantic reasons. Or because they think it makes them look cool.

You’ve had big hits like Armageddon and Pearl Harbor, but you were in some critical disasters too. Instead of blaming your agent or feeling sorry for yourself, you reincarnated yourself as a director. What gave you that courage to go for it? I don’t know. Maybe it’s not being smart enough to know better!

Do you think a movie about how Hollywood saves the day will better your chances with the Oscar voters?

My wife is a great actress, and I would be profoundly lucky to work with her. She’s magniﬁcent. And if I could pick a woman to work with me, it would be my wife. But something tells me that people don’t want to see real-life couples in movies.

Uh, I have no idea! I just worry about humans coming to see it. But I think the nice thing about the Hollywood stuff is the way one character sort of rolls his eyes at Hollywood. I’m doing this shitty monster movie in the movie. And you could teach a rhesus monkey to be a director. But it’s done in such a well-ﬁnessed way that it’s a healthy cynicism. And the Hollywood satire aspect of this is the component I like the best.

What’s it been like for you in your off-screen role, as a dad?

Do you think the Iranian government will get mad at you for making Argo?

Do you ever get the desire as a director to cast your wife [Jennifer Garner] as your leading lady in a movie?

It’s great. I’m very lucky. I feel blessed to look around and see that I’ve got a healthy family and a job. I’m in a pretty good zone right now. So far so good.

Ultimately I’m told that they’ll watch the movie to see who’s in it, or whatever. I’m more worried about other audiences.

GET A BURGER:

While Five Guys has that classic beef-in-buns taste, Relish’s open-till-3 am policy and endless topping bar make it a college guy’s essential go-to.

GRAB A BEER: Grog House, The Swamp, and Balls may be midtown favorites, but might we suggest checking out Tall Paul’s Brewhouse downtown? They brew their own beer with ﬂavors that range from Habanero Smoked Ale to imaginative creations like the Bombshell Blonde and the Fat Guy. Plus, they feature live bands and a pool table.

WATCH THE GAME: Besides the

stadium, of course, there are plenty of places around town to catch a game. Whether you’re a fan of the NCAA, NFL, MLB, NHL—or any other kind of league known to man, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and EndZone will make sure it’s on one of their screens.

SHOOT SOME POOL: Palomino Pool

Hall is perfect for savvy sharks and novices alike. Or, step away from the pool table and practice your ping pong skills. Palomino gets bonus points for it’s proximity to The Backyard Bar for drinks under the stars and Boca Fiesta for a late-night snack.

WOO YOUR LADY:

If you’re looking for a romantic Italian dinner a la ‘Lady and the Tramp,’ take your beau to Manuel’s Vintage Room. The small intimate setting, the fuzzy gramophone-style Italian soundtrack, the handmade gnocchi and the tiramisu—it’s love at ﬁrst bite. Plus, it’s minutes away from downtown’s club scene in case you want to dance off all that pasta.

PARTY LIKE A CELEBRITY: If you’re looking for the VIP treatment, swing by Simon’s Nightclub. Featuring top-notch visiting DJs (George Acosta, 3LAU and Mike Woods are on the upcoming playbill), Simon’s is Gainesville’s own little slice of South Beach from the guys who brought you 101 Downtown and Cantina.

DRAG RACER

By day, Mike Griggs might be the man you hear on the other end of the phone if you call Ocala Tire Service. By night—Saturday nights to be specific—he might just be the man who beats you in a drag car race at the Auto-Plus Raceway. —Zack Peterson

ast summer, he was selected to represent the Super Street category in the JEG’s All-Star Competition in Joliet, Ill., as the top point earner from Division two—a competition he went on to win. “It was a good deal,” Mike says. “There was a lot of praise, and a lot of good-natured ribbing. My dad went up with me; it was really special to have him there.” Mike’s a drag racer, a sport many might be quick to confuse with NASCAR, but whose rules bafﬂe most and whose strategy relies on a minimalist approach. “What you see on TV is nothing like what we do,” the 39-year-old says. “In our form of racing, you don’t have to be the fastest to win. Speed is secondary. Trust me, someone is always going to be faster.” Mike explained that races are built on bracket racing, a system where competitors who aren’t evenly matched in speed are positioned accordingly. It works like this: For a race, competitors ratchet their cars into whatever shape money can buy. They predict how fast their cars will go after rounds of practice and natural intuition. It’s one of the most critical details because it sets up their position for the race. If one driver has a faster car than the other, the slower car starts ﬁrst. The race is “dialed” to diffuse the unequal difference in speed. But where the race truly is won, Mike says, is at the starting line. In particular, getting the coveted “perfect light,” a reaction time of .000 seconds where no time is lost between the light going off that starts the race and the drivers accelerating. This is where the greatest possible lead can be gained. During the race, if drivers “break out,” or drive under their expected time, they automatically lose. There’s no penalty for going slower. With this discipline of racing, the most valuable asset you can have is experience. “There’s no substitute for putting in laps at the track,” Mike says. “The older you get the more skill you acquire.”

www.insitegainesville.com

Mike says he got involved in drag racing because of his family. Ernie Griggs, his 75-year-old father, was a local racer back in the 1950s. But as Ernie grew older, he grew out of racing. He had a family to provide for and a job to tend to at the tire service. He had responsibilities that needed care, and racing couldn’t make the cut. Drag racing began to creep back into the picture when Mike’s brother, Tripp, turned 16. He inherited his great-grandmother’s ’74 Nova from his dad and greatgrandfather. The Griggs began spending nights at the track again. Mike was 12 then. When he turned 16, they found a little street car for him to start driving—the ’66 Nova that he still has to this day. “We would drive it around to school and such, and on the weekends we would take the mufﬂers off, put the slicks on it and go to the track,” Mike says. An avid sports fan that played baseball and football at Forest High as a teenager, Mike found his true passion was drag racing. “I love football, and I love baseball, but racing was always on Saturday,” Mike says. “It gave us something to do. While some kids were going out and getting in trouble, my parents knew where we were: We were out at the track with them.” On Saturday nights, the entire Griggs family would pack up a cooler, grab a grill, pile into their cars and trailers and barrel toward the Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville, a 55-mile trek from their home in Ocala that Mike says is “not too far at all.” It became tradition: He, Trip and Ernie would grind through their time trails. His mother, Lucille, would make dinner. The family would sit down and enjoy each other’s company before elimination round. For him, it’s still about enjoying the company of family and fellow racers. In a sport dominated by precision and concentration, Mike believes the key to keeping the joy alive in drag racing is remembering to relax. “Don’t make your hobby your work,” he says.

Wingmen : d Wante ing One for the Team

G ONLY IN GAINESVILLE

k a T f o t r A e h T

Though Iceman and Maverick brought “wingman” into pop culture during the 80s, the age-old friendship pact still exists in bromance today. Jared Goldstein, a 19-year-old health science major at UF, described a wingman as “your boy who goes out to get girls with you.” Like Jared, the most popular response to our quick survey was that a wingman is someone who helps in your never-ending quest to talk to, and take home, women.

A PROPER WINGMAN WILL… NEVER BLOW YOUR COVER. A wingman will go into explicit detail about the time you saved a puppy from a ﬁre while you were at the White House having tea with Barack Obama and Kate Middleton, who of course “totally wanted you.”

e have known ab out wingmen sinc e Top Gun. But what make s a good wingma n a great wingman? And ca n a woman ear n the title? —Kelsey Meany

www.insitegainesville.com

DISTRACT THE SIDEKICK so you can hit it off with Blake Lively’s twin. Your wingman friend may have to dance with a couple of “butterfaces” so you can be free to impress Blake with your bar knowledge and secret love of Desperate Housewives.

October 2012

BE SELFLESS. A wingman knows when it’s time to coax the friend to dance or to avoid an awkward encounter with an ex. “A wingman is selﬂess and smooth,” says Gabriel Arab, a 21-year-old mechanical and aerospace engineering major. “I associate the word with girls and having your back in a social setting.” But is there such thing as a wingwoman? Colette DuChanois, a 20-year-old telecommunications major, says wingwomen do exist—but only for other girls. Just like for the guys, the wingwoman helps set and reach your goals for the night. “Once the plan is in sight you don’t forget it,” she says. Girl or guy, a wingman is much more than a bar-buddy. They are there to laugh at that ridiculous pickup line or complain about that girl at the bar that was showing off her dance moves a little too much. And, he (or she) must always stick to the wingman motto: “Take one for the team, and let him live the dream.”

cool guy

cover

hen coming up with ideas for this month’s issue, no topic stood out more than Guy’s Night Out. What says “man” more tha n hanging with them? The result? A story (see page 32!) and photo shoot of the places guys can be guys.

t was just after 5pm on a Thursday when Megan, the assistant editor (and Behind the Scenes photog), and I walked into Main Street Bar and Billiards. The setting was perfect—warm and rustic decoration with casual but clean walls—giving off the vibe guys strive for: “I’m cool without trying.” As it was still early, only a few of the pool tables were in use, and a few regulars sat at the bar. As we waited a few minutes for Rob, our photographer, to get set up, we chatted with Marc Grassley, our model. Marc came ready—in a casual but polished blue sport shirt and jeans, with a few days’ worth of scruff on his face. We first met Marc, 31, at Gainesville Fashion Week back in April, where he modeled swimwear for Mikho Resort. The UF alum told us some of his favorite hobbies—appropriately manly ones of fishing, rooting for the Tampa Bay Rays and playing baseball in a city league. After a quick costume change into a burgundy shirt (to better match the Main Street mood) we were ready to start—first at a pool table. The bartender kindly lent us a rack of balls and we began. To any avid pool sharks, we apologize if his hands were not positioned correctly. After conferring with Rob, Heather (our art director) and Megan, we decided to just go with what felt natural. Soon enough, we moved on to the poker table, back by the bar. Again, graciously, the bartender allowed us the materials, and the bar-goers looked on in interest. We wanted a couple shots to have a

gritty, arrogant look to them—no easy feat for a nice guy like Marc. Still we managed to get in a few good “cool guy” shots and soon had enough to create the cover you see today. • The most eventful part of the photo shoot, though, was probably the departure. As Rob ﬁnished putting away his equipment, we looked outside to see a hurricane-worthy downpour. • We crumpled a dollar in the pot to give it a real-life look. • No, there isn’t alcohol in that glass. Just soda. • Rob lost his shoe as he ran to pull his car around and put away his equipment. • Now you can follow Main Street Bar and Billiards on Twitter: @ mainstbarGville for special deals. —Rachel Rakoczy Photos by Megan Alfaro

THE DESTROYER • Dark Horse ★★★★ The Destroyer, the debut album from Collin Whitlock’s solo project, Dark Horse, immediately hits the listener with remarkably positive intensity on its opening cut “Fight!”

★★★

COLUMBIA

How does it feel to keep going when you’re already a legend? Only a few people know—and Bob Dylan is one of them. This time next year, he will have been the face of American folk music for half a century, marking the 50th anniversary of the release of his breakthrough masterpiece The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Sure, Dylan’s dilapidated voice of today would probably be unrecognizable to listeners in the 1960s, but his ongoing dedication to folk, blues and storytelling has been central to his repertoire for the last 50 years. He’s sticking to what he knows with Tempest, a bluesheavy record with themes of love and disaster, sometimes at the same time. Dylan employs a pretty simple band— there’s some guitar here and some piano there, with sparse appearances by harmonica, banjo and violin. With its whiny electric guitar riff and fast tempo, the third track “Narrow Way” recalls Dylan classics like “Tombstone Blues” and

“Subterranean Homesick Blues.” Lyrically, Tempest is a darker album than its predecessor Together Through Life, but Dylan sounds less hopeless than he did on 2006’s critically acclaimed, Grammy-garnished Modern Times. “Long and Wasted Years” explores an older man’s revelatory personal breakdown concerning lost loved ones, while three entangled lovers murder each other by the end of the adulterous “Tin Angel.” On title track “Tempest,” Dylan tells his own eerie version of the infamous Titanic sinking in just under 14 minutes. Thirty-ﬁve albums in, he can still paint detailed images with his songs, and Tempest is further evidence of just that.

COEXIST

Fight—don’t let the nightmare get its grip on you Open your eyes—starve the darkness that’s been eating you Shine the light where its been feeding, and I can take you home But in The Destroyer, Collin, known for his work with Travis Atria on both the Slims and the popular Gainesville cover band the Shitty Beatles, does not necessarily strike one as brimming with the absolute positivity that the album’s first song suggests. Rather, while The Destroyer radiates a man with a ton of musical talent—the type of man you could imagine has beautiful melodies routinely in his creative brain—it also exudes a man who is honestly trying to find his place in a world mired by doubt and darkness, and who sincerely wants to help others out of it. And that’s what makes this soulful and McCartney-esque EP so interesting with repeated listens. Abounding with lovely Beatle-like harmonies by Collin and friends Sam Moss, Cassandra Polcaro and Travis Atria, the record repeatedly speaks of the safety and security of home. In “Start Over” Collin’s funky driving keys are attractively accompanied by Travis’s sax and trumpet—really the only instruments played on the entire record other than Collin’s. The ensuing melancholia most notably starts in the meat of this record with the song “Fun in London,” a root-chord altchord entertaining and dark ditty, replete with harmonica and mournful whine. “Gravity,” which seems like part two of “Fun,” appears to warn of accentuating the negative, overly concentrating on one’s shortcomings and being overly dismissive of one’s strengths. Collin warbles of being held down by gravity and the man he is supposed to be. In the refrain he sings “I need a little time to get my life in order.” Perhaps the gem at the heart of this EP is the gorgeously arranged “Bag of Bones,” whose stark title and grim subject matter of breakup and concomitant feelings of abandonment creates a dynamic contrast with the song’s rather pleasant harmonies. The record ends with the sad-sounding and tender “Congrats,” a near 8-minute piano score that builds halfway through the song with layers of refined instrumentation, harmonies and a familiar voice from history. The song is a fitting end to the diverse musical journey that is Destroyer: a very strong debut solo effort that only whets our appetite for the even loftier heights one suspects he is capable of. —Greg Allard

XL/YOUNG TURKS

Most bands can’t list silence as one of their main instruments, but the XX probably could if they wanted to. Combined with an intimate back-and-forth aesthetic between lead singers Oliver Sim and Romy Croft, the amount of open space used on the subtle English indie rock band’s 2009 selftitled debut garnered positive attention from every direction: critics, commercials, radio and fans. Their fresh hybrid of modern R&B and indie rock solidiﬁed them as an exciting new musical presence with plenty of potential. On the band’s sophomore effort Coexist, the use of silence can be almost alarming. As far as actual instruments go, the guitar and bass are still very light, even muted, and the ongoing emotional conversation between Sim and Croft continues here, sounding more lost in each other than ever. Jamie Smith, aka Jamie XX, lends the songs his minimalist electronic beats, which are notably more inﬂuenced by his solo dubstep work this time around. The drums tend to

stutter more and rattle with reverb instead of providing the clearest backbone for the songs. Album opener “Angels” provides a nice quiet bridge into the new material with a signature guitar riff from Croft and lovestricken lyrics that seem to threaten the singers’ calm composure. The tick-tock intro to “Chained” transforms into a full-on dubstep beat and ﬁnds the narrators falling apart early on, singing “We used to be closer than this / Is it something you miss?” All the songs follow a formula similar to the one created on their debut—to a fault. The math works, but to leave the kind of impression that The XX did, the band needs to add something new to the equation.

Mika The Origin Of Love

menacing instrumentals (“Clique,” “Higher”) to Kanye’s own sample-heavy beats (“New God Flow,” “The One”). Album opener “To The World” boasts an R. Kelly feature that unfortunately falls ﬂat. Kid Cudi successfully goes solo on “Creepers” with his mumbly, out-of-this-world rap-singing, while John Legend and Teyana Taylor croon over a spacey pop beat on “Bliss.” An album highlight, “The Morning,” is an all-out rap fest featuring intricate wordplay from Raekwon (“I say, Ye, with 2 Chainz on, we Common let’s Push”) and ﬁve-star verses from all of those involved. Cruel Summer might not drown out its competitors, but it’s an entertaining effort by Kanye and friends.

Benjamin Gibbard Former Lives

KANYE WEST PRESENTS GOOD MUSIC Kanye West has been steadily building his G.O.O.D. Music team since he started the label in 2004 with friends Common and John Legend. In 2007, he went for fresh talent, signing both Kid Cudi and Big Sean before acquiring established acts like Mos Def and Clipse’s Pusha T in 2010 and rounding it out with Teyana Taylor and 2 Chainz this year. Producing viable singles all summer (“Mercy,” “Cold,” “New God Flow”), the group album that Kanye promised fans has arrived in the form of Cruel Summer. It’s a relatively short affair for a group album, packing each member in like a can of sardines. It’s not only that—ﬁve of the album’s 12 songs have gotten radio play before its release. Both shortcomings give Cruel Summer an underwhelming factor. Still, it’s on par with comparable “crew” albums like Maybach Music Group’s Self-Made series. Cruel Summer’s beat selection is all ﬁre, from Hit-Boy’s

John is a Gainesville native, but he resides and runs a popular independent studio in San Francisco. He’s toured with Sufjan Stevens and St. Vincent, but has yet to garner their level of recognition. White Wilderness, a collaboration with Minna Choi’s Magik*Magik Orchestra, is one of his best. Listen to these songs, close your eyes and watch a ﬁlm unfold in your mind.

In my wildest rock‘n’roll fantasies, a boy plays me “September Gurls” on guitar and we fall in love. Until then, I’ll listen to Radio City, which includes the song that the late Alex Chilton obviously wrote for me. My favorite song on the record might also be the weirdest: “Daisy Glaze” builds slowly and dreamily until you’re joyously screaming “You’re gonna die/You’re gonna decease!” while jumping around your room in your underwear. Or maybe that’s just me.

Awful title, brilliant album. Everything he’d created up this point was just the rehearsal. Say what you will about Kanye (and there is a lot to say), but not only does he possess a genius musical mind, he is a complete artist. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his fully realized masterpiece, from the musical compositions contained within the album to the art that encases it, to the short ﬁlm with themes of modern isolation that accompanies it.

MUSIC BAND PROFILE

PSEUDO

KIDS

he Pseudo Kids are an “existential pop band,” as co-founding band member Scott Kauffmann calls them. Although their melodies are buoyant, their lyrics often express the darkness of inner conflict— which creates an interesting listening experience to say the least. Their second record, Stay Glad, with song titles like “Car Crash Blues,” “Hard to Be,” “Pretend” and “What’s Wrong With Me?” reflects that diverged sentiment. We recently got a chance to talk to both Scott and Dante Lima (bass, vocals) about all things Pseudo Kids. —Greg Allard I love the name Pseudo Kids. What does it mean to you guys? Scott: I had a friend in high school who always called me a “pseudo intellectual.” I always thought it was a funny phrase. When we were looking for a name, I thought “pseudo” was an interesting word with a good aesthetic, and being in a band is like never growing up, so the “kids” just ﬁt right into it.

Cool. Now, who does what in the band? Dante: The band is me, Scott (guitar, vocals), Fletcher Yancey (guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (guitar, percussion) and Michael Claytor (drums). Collin Whitlock (keys) and Annie Neimand (backing vocals) helped on Stay Glad. Collin also helped us engineer and produce the EP.

What are the origins of the band and how has it changed over time? Scott: Fletcher and I started playing music together about 11 years ago in punk and hardcore bands in high school. We eventually just got fed

up with sounding like everyone else and decided to try making “real” songs. We formed this band as kind of a protest to all the crappy, meaningless songs that had come out over the years and also as an ode to all the great bands that have done so much for us musically and personally.

songs, and you’re just in it for a sound, chances are we’re not going to listen too long.

Tell us something about Stay Glad. Dante: Stay Glad is the best representation of Pseudo Kids so far. On our ﬁrst album, Scott, Fletcher and I had only been playing together for three months when we went into the studio and were still learning our boundaries with each other as musicians. For Stay Glad, even though it was an EP, we had more of a vision for the tempo of the record, and we wanted to keep the songs closer to their roots. After a year and a half of being a creative team, Scott, Fletcher and I were able to be more truthful with each other. We formed a trust in each other that came out in the music. Scott: Stay Glad is about staying glad through all the crap that one goes through. No matter how bad life gets, you just have to roll with it and remember that you’re still you and you’re still alive.

Speaking of that, what are your musical influences?

Your songs are funny and the melodies are catchy and light, but there also seems to be a certain dark theme to the lyrics. I love the contrast.

Dante: When I started playing with Scott and Fletcher we bonded over our love of hardcore and post-punk music. But with music I’ve always said a band is like a family—you may all eat at different places during the week or be on different schedules, but if you can’t come together for a nice family dinner, you’re never going to be that close. We all have variations of inﬂuences that shape our playing, but we all love artists like The Beatles, Springsteen, Wilco, Radiohead, Talking Heads, The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips, Pavement, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, The Band, soul music, new wave, jazz. If there’s a common thread to our taste, it’s that we love melodies. We love songs. If you don’t write

Scott: The songs, lyrically, are dark as shit. The music is not. These songs are like therapy for us, so anything that happens to be troubling us at any time is fair game. But no one wants to hear a brooding song with brooding lyrics. It’s just too much. We like to mix it up with happy pop songs with a real kick in the gut lyrically. It’s fun to us. It also helps get fans that don’t really pay attention to what we’re saying. Listen to one line in any of our songs and you’ll realize that something is amiss; something isn’t quite right. So, yes, I agree with you, there’s a dark theme. Dante: The joke inside the band is that we write the happiest sounding songs you’ve ever heard—about the most depressing shit. I don’t

think Pseudo Kids’ music has ever been doom and gloom, but there’s always been a bitter-sweet element to the lyrics and the instrumentation. Like I said earlier, we love melodies, and we love the form of the classic song. But this is a blue collar band with stories to tell, and those stories aren’t always fairy tales.

What has Gainesville meant to your band and how do you feel about the town? Dante: Well, considering we’ve relied on so many Gainesville musicians to keep Pseudo Kids alive at times, I’d say it means everything. Our music is born out of the experiences we’ve shared in Gainesville. Luckily for us, there’s dozens of other geeks here just like us and now our musical family has grown bigger and bigger. We draw inspiration from the people we’re playing with; we know that at any show we have to bring our “A” game because there’s another band on the bill that’s going to be professional grade. Gainesville’s given us lifelong friends and ideal conditions to create. Scott: This town is tough. We love it, though it’s hard to get a good read on it. Some shows are well attended and with others it’s like pulling teeth to get people to show up. Folks are spoiled here. I said it. There’s so many talented people here and you’d think with all this talent, every show on every night would be completely sold out, but people would rather buy a Jager bomb than pay the $5 to see three bands playing their hearts out. But I love it just the same.

Where is the band going and what are your future plans? Scott: We’re going wherever people will have us. We’re working on booking a modest regional tour in December and we’re going to try to get up the east coast at some point. It all depends on schedules and money. Buy our EP.

Burton Brothers Talk

ONLY IN GAINESVILLE G

FOOTBALL

e talked to Trey and Clay Burton of the UF football team about a game-changing run, their trip to Africa and what it means to play on the same team as your brother. —Allie Hershorn

How long have you been playing football together?

Trey: Almost every sport we played we were on the same team. It’s not too often that two brothers get the opportunity to play on the varsity football team together. It is even more rare for two brothers to be playing at such a high level of football on the same ﬁeld and playing on the same side of the ball. It truly is a blessing. Clay: We have been on the same team since I was 5 years old. I began playing football because of him. When football started getting serious in high school, we relied on each other to make plays (him on offense and me on defense) to try to win games.

What is it like playing on the same football team now?

Clay: It’s awesome but also feels normal. The only time we split up was my senior year when he came up to Florida. It just felt different and I didn’t like it.

Describe camp this year. What was it like going through another camp together?

Rob Foldy

Trey: Going through another camp has just made us both stronger, mentally and physically. I feel like we both made huge steps and improved our games dramatically and

that’s why we are both getting the opportunity to showcase our skills on Saturdays. We have always been there for each other in every pressure situation in our lives so we know when we need to give each other encouragement. Clay: Having each other makes a huge difference. We can talk about things at night because we are roommates and he is also able to encourage me if he sees me slipping or feeling down.

How do you deal with balancing football and school?

Trey: This is one of the hardest things to do. The main thing for me is to stay strong in my faith and surround myself with people who are positive inﬂuences. I also try to stay in touch with the people who have gotten me here so that I can remember all the sacriﬁces that they have made for me. So there really isn’t any stress; I just do what I know. Clay: I believe my Christian faith has a lot to do with it. Just having somebody to always talk to allows me to rest my mind and give all my stress up to the Lord because he can handle it.

On the field, what would you say is each other’s biggest attribute to the team? Trey: Clay is a bigger tight end. He’s very

smart and strong and he is improving as a blocker everyday. Clay: Trey’s versatility and ability to lead by example, along with doing anything to help the team win.

Off the field, you guys are involved in Athletes in Action. How did you get involved, and what does it mean to you? Trey: It means the world to me. AIA is fun because there are many other athletes who believe the same thing we do and are trying to spread the Word just like we are through their sports. It is a pretty cool and encouraging thing to see all these other athletes battling the things that we battle and they understand because they are Division I athletes too. Clay: I met Kevin Sides, the leader of AIA on campus, on my official visit and his influence of what he does on campus had a lot to do with me coming to Florida. It gives me a positive influence in my life.

This summer, I heard you went on a mission trip to Africa with AIA. What was that experience like?

Trey: Best experience that I have ever had in my whole life. It made me realize that there are so many people in this world who just want to have hope and a reason to live. It also made me realize that there were some things that I needed to let go of in order to put my life back in order spiritually. Very humbling. I’ve always wanted to go to Africa and to go on a mission trip, so when the opportunity came I had to jump on it! I plan on making it an annual trip. The trip would have been a lot different without Clay because we ran the strength and conditioning station together, and it would have been a lot harder to do it alone. Plus, we both just roll off one another. We think alike for the most part. Clay: Having Trey here on campus and being able to go together really made me want to go. The experience was amazing. I have never traveled overseas before, and the affect we had on the Ivoirians, even putting the language barrier into account, was amazing.

Are you involved in any other activities outside of football and AIA?

Trey: I’m involved in a mentoring program. I go to an elementary school once or twice

a week and mentor a little kid who doesn’t have anyone to look up to. I feel like that is one of my biggest passions because I grew up without a father and I know how hard it is to not have a man to look up to.

What are you looking forward to most from this season?

Trey: I’m looking forward to glorifying my Lord with my play and my life off the field. I also want to affect as many people’s lives off the field as I can and let people know that whatever happened to them in the past doesn’t have to continue into the future. I am not defined by football—it is just a platform to use. Clay: To win!

What role does social media play in your everyday life (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)? Trey: Social media plays a big role in my life because it gives me an opportunity to reach out to my fans and let them know who I really am. Clay: It’s just a fun thing to do and interact with friends and people I haven’t met before.

Trey’s 80-yard run against Tennessee was a big moment. How did it feel?

Trey: Yeah, it was a huge momentum swing for our team. One of the biggest things that I learned this offseason was that you have to capitalize on the opportunities that you are given. Whether that is in life or on the football ﬁeld, I can never let an opportunity pass if I am trying to get to where I want to be in the future. Clay: It just makes me want to work harder and get onto his level of being able to impact the game.

What advice would you give to younger guys who want to play football at the higher levels.

Trey: Keep your priorities straight, because the way you are living your life off the ﬁeld is a lot more important than your performance on the ﬁeld. Always have a back up plan and I would also tell them not to listen to what others have to say about you or your abilities. Only you know what you can do! Clay: Listen to your parents and respect your coaches!

GOTTA TRY IT

: T I Y R T A T T O G

BREW IT YOURSELF

University of Florida medical researcher by day, Travis Cossette spends his weekends working the tasting room at Swamp Head Brewery and tending to his full-time hobby—brewing his own beer. Part of the local homebrewing club, Hogtown Brewers, Travis knows a thing or two about beer and has the medals, both from in-state and out-ofstate competitions, to prove it. Thinking about homebrewing? Check out Travis’ path to learning the craft. —Caitlyn Finnegan

What ﬁrst spiked your interest in craft beer?

I ﬁrst became interested in the craft beer industry while in New England. I tasted different creations and offerings from Samuel Adams, Shipyard, Long Trail, Allagash, and other brewing companies from that region of the U.S. Since then, an interest in brewing my own beer has only increased my awareness and exposure to craft beers. Homebrewing teaches you the ingredients that make up a particular style of beer as well as broadens your appreciation of the craft beer industry. Brewing beer, whether on a large scale brewing operation or done in your home, is essentially the same process.

How did you get started in homebrewing? Do many of your friends also homebrew or were you the ﬁrst to introduce them to it?

Interestingly, a friend gave me a Mr. Beer Brew Kit for my birthday several years ago. Initially I was excited to ﬁnally brew my own. When I sat down and read the instruction booklet, I thought to myself, “There must be a better way.” So I did a quick Internet search online and joined The Hogtown Brewers here in Gainesville. Needless to say, the Mr. Beer kit was never opened or used. Ever since then, the passion has stuck with me. I have made some great friendships along the way with others that share the same interest, and my skills in perfecting recipes and techniques improved much faster. Brewing beer is always more fun when it is made into a social event by

Filled with new brewers and seasoned pros alike, home brew clubs are a great place to start and find out if home brewing is for you. Find a mentor, exchange recipes and see what equipment is really needed to get going.

What did you ﬁnd to be the most challenging?

How did your ﬁrst batch of beer taste?

It tasted good because it was my first batch! I made it a bit thin, so it had a lighter flavor than I expected. All of my friends in the home brew club said that it was an excellent first effort. Don’t be discouraged if your first batch does not come out tasting delicious. Homebrewing is a constant process of learning and modifying your recipe and techniques to achieve a batch of beer that you enjoy.

What are your favorite styles and/or ﬂavors to experiment with when coming up with your own recipes?

I enjoy brewing the basic styles of beer. Call me boring, but I don’t like adding anything too exotic into my beers. That being said, I have experimented with blueberries in a brown ale, which came out quite tasty. I have brewed a chocolate/espresso stout before. The holiday season is approaching, and I have been thinking about experimenting with a holiday spiced ale in a few weeks. Other than that, I like making stouts, pale ales, German wheat beers and similar styles. The possibilities are really endless with brewing. As a new brewer, don’t be intimidated by coming up with a recipe. Your local homebrew shop can help.

How often do you homebrew? Do you usually have multiple batches brewing at a time or just focus on one? I try to keep one or two batches of beer ready to drink on hand and one or two in the process of being ready.

CONNECT WITH YOUR LOCAL HOME BREW CLUB.

sharing your creations with others who appreciate it.

Making your own beer at home can be as complicated or as simple as you want to make it. My ﬁrst several batches of beer were simple and tasted okay but not excellent. As I learned more about what makes a good beer, as well as the process of brewing a successful batch, things became a little more complicated, but the beer tasted much better. I would say the sanitation and cleaning portion of brewing was the most tedious part. One of the most important things to remember when brewing is that anything that comes into contact with the un-fermented beer must be meticulously cleaned. If you are to be a successful brewer, you must be obsessed with the cleaning of equipment.

mid all the chatter about beer kits, yeast strains and beer exchanges, it can be challenging to ﬁgure out just what you need to get started. Our picks will help get you closer to redeﬁning BYOB.

VISIT THE LOCAL HOME BREW SUPPLY SHOP.

If you’re new to brewing the ﬁrst batch will seem to take forever to be ready to drink. Once you have a few ready, it is easy to keep a steady supply. Be careful though—when your friends get word of it, be prepared to brew more frequently.

What determines what you make next?

Sometimes if I have a friend who is celebrating a special occasion, I will try to brew a style that he or she enjoys as a gift. Other than that, I brew what I like to drink. I do like to brew lighter beers such as Hefeweizens and blonde ales to be ready to enjoy during the summer months. During the cooler seasons, I enjoy some of the darker and more ﬂavorful beers.

What resources do you recommend to someone just starting out?

Talk to a friend who brews or ﬁnd your local brewing club and join it. Homebrewing clubs often have group brewing sessions where several people get together and brew batches of beer. Don’t purchase all the equipment before talking with someone who brews. Friends and fellow home brewers can steer you in the right direction. It is better to observe and learn how others do it ﬁrst. After that, stop by your local home brew shop (or shop online) and purchase the equipment you need.

What is your best advice for new home brewers?

Making beer is essentially like cooking. Some people like to put in the time and effort to create something that is delicious and made from scratch right at home. There are many ways to brew beer successfully and with a little research and networking with other home brewers, you can find the way that best fits your time and skill level. The idea may seem intimidating at first, but I can assure you that you’ll be surprised at how easy and rewarding a hobby it can be.

MUSIC

BOB MARLEY’S BAND BRINGS PEACE AND REGGAE TO GAINESVILLE

n the ’60s and ’70s, Bob Marley’s music brought together people of different races, cultures and beliefs. The Wailers, which are the last remnants of the legend’s career, are coming to The High Dive this month. Lead singer Koolant Brown joined the band two years ago, and we gave him a call (right after he performed in Argentina) to talk about what it’s like continuing the legacy, and why he says there’s nothing to it. —Natalia Sieukaran

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Wailers. Why do you think Bob Marley’s music has resonated with people so many decades later?

Everything Bob Marley sang about relates to people all over the world. His life’s music was like the river to the people of the world. I think that his music was so pure and truthful. That’s why people gravitate toward his music.

How did you take the Jamaican experience to create songs that can be read internationally?

Not only Jamaica—it’s my own experience growing up. The kind of living I had in Jamaica inﬂuenced my sounds, naturally. I just think of happiness and I made sounds. I don’t make up stuff, you know, I just speak the truth.

You’ve collaborated with many contemporary artists from different genres,

such as Kenny Chesney, Eve, Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat—how does this reveal the changes reggae music has undergone? And how it has impacted music today?

It’s not just how the music changed, it’s showing the uniﬁcation of all mankind— knowing that no one is an island. No man stands alone. So what we do with Kenny Chesney, Jason Mraz and the other collaborators, it’s a good thing. It shows people you can do anything. We can do stuff together; we can share.

Do you feel any pressure knowing that reggae music is defined by the Wailers?

No, no pressure. People just wanted to hear what he [Bob Marley] was saying was the truth. So no pressure—we just keep moving on and doing it right. It’s the music of peace. The music of love. The music of contentment.

When you’re singing do you try to manifest Bob Marley into your performances, or do you make it wholly your own?

I put all me in it. I don’t put Bob Marley in it. I put all me and deliver the sound and the message the right way. I own the sound. It’s my sound. And the message will reign forever more, for eternity, for inﬁnity.

So you’re like the new Bob Marley, but with the same principles? Yeah (laughs).

You joined the group in 2010. What is your favorite thing about being in the band? Did you ever imagine you’d be here? I never knew it, or think that. But people tell me I was going places because of my voice

and the way I sound naturally. I can sing any sound so beautiful without the beat. When I was a child, because my name is Barrington O. Brown, they called me Bob too. So I had to live up to the name and do right by it.

Usually big acts would just perform at stadiums, but The Wailers have gone to local venues in smaller cities. Why Gainesville? We’re just about the music everywhere. No matter if it’s a big stadium or a small one, we just do the music.

What message do you hope to give to fans? I sing to all people saying to love yourself. Love thy neighbor as you would like them to love you. And deliver pride just right.

GOING OUT Located in downtown, Tall Paul’s Brew House is a low-key hangout where you can enjoy local brews and relax with friends. Now featuring a full liquor bar—need we say more?
