WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN OCTOBER
Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon
Night Film by Marisha Pessl
Maxine is your basic private investigator. She’s a little shady, but gets the job done. That is, until she starts looking into a computer security firm and its billionaire geek CEO. Yeah, nothing is scarier than a guy who grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons and learning how to program on his dad’s Commodore 64.
How McGruff and the Crying Indian Changed America: A History of Iconic Ad Council Campaigns by Wendy Melillo
You know all the classic ad campaigns. You may think they are nonsense and that you couldn’t be affected by them. Go put on some of your clothes and let me know if you’re a walking billboard. Better yet, when was the last time you littered? Man, that crying Indian ad was intense. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up on YouTube while you’re drinking a Coke and eating some Taco Bell.
Stanislas Cordova used to make horror movies. We’re not talking about bad horror movies about a bunch of teenagers at a lake. We’re not talking about movies with a guy in a mask who cuts people up with a chain saw. We’re not talking about horror movies where ghosts may be terrorizing a family who just moved into a new house. We’re talking about the kind of horror movies that stay with you. Cordova’s movies are the ones that wake you up at night in a cold sweat a month after you watched them. They’re the kind of movies that change you. They’re the movies that delve deep into the human soul, and you were sure that you wanted to take that trip when you started watching, but about an hour in
you are quite certain you will never be the same. Yeah, they are that scary. They are Saw on steroids. They are that movie with the little girl in the television with less happy parts. Anyway, Cordova disappeared from the movie scene a while back. Nobody knows what happened really, but it sure didn’t hurt his reputation. He just locked the gates to his massive property only known as The Peak and never spoke to anyone again. Scott McGrath is an investigative journalist. He used to do those hard hitting pieces on mad cow disease or AIDS in Africa or the latest boy band. One day, someone made an anonymous phone call to McGrath saying that something funny was going on up at The Peak. This caller said that Cordova was “doing something to the children.” McGrath ran with it and it destroyed him. His source disappeared and he was stuck with a story that nobody would back up. Skip ahead, and Cordova’s daughter has just killed herself by jumping down an abandoned elevator shaft. What made her do it? Was she just depressed or had Cordova done something to her? Did she just hate the world, or did Cordova sell her soul to the devil to make his movies? With the help of two young strangers, McGrath is going to find out. But he might be sorry he did.

WAY TOO INDIE
You’re Next
bio: Dustin Jansick is the owner of WayTooIndie. com, which is dedicated on providing you with the most accurate and honest movie reviews and ratings. The site is focused around, but certainly not limited to, independent films. Dustin, along with other fellow contributors, not only write reviews on indie, foreign and art house films, but also post trailers, news articles, and Top-10 lists. Check them out on Facebook and @WayTooIndie on Twitter.
It’s no wonder Adam Wingard’s indie horror flick You’re Next is so damn good—with fellow indie powerhouse filmmakers like Joe Swanberg, Amy Seimetz and Ti West walking around the blood-splattered set, Wingard was in good company. But take no credit away; he demonstrates he’s got a long and successful directorial career ahead of him. The film—which you can drop in the home invasion column of the horror genre—is 100 percent organic, pulpy, fresh-squeezed terror in a bottle. It’s an overwhelming rush of pure, insanely violent, visceral horror cinema executed with impeccable style. You’re Next is a straight-up shot of blood and guts with no chaser. The setup is pretty straightforward—the Davison family gathers for a reunion at their gigantic forested mansion estate. It’s a comfortable cage for the unwitting prey. The knit-sweater-wearing,millionaire patriarch, Paul (Rob Moran), and his jumpy, medicated wife Aubrey (Barbara Crampton) are joined by their four adult children—Crispian (AJ Bowen), a college professor, Drake (Swanberg), an instigative bonehead, Aimee (Seimetz), a dumb, walking squeak toy, and Felix, an immature brat. Each whiny, spoiled-rotten sibling has brought along a significant other, and at dinner, meathead Drake
prods Paul about how “unprofessional” it is to be dating his former student, Erin (Sharni Vinson, who just sits and listens uncomfortably). The argument heats up and Aimee’s boyfriend, Tariq (West) removes himself from the table, walks to a window, and WHAM! Arrow in the face! We have our first kill, just like that, and from there Wingard keeps his foot heavy on the gas pedal. A pleasant surprise is that the characters aren’t just lambs lining up for the slaughter—they’re interesting people and their dialogue is punchy and often hilarious. If you’re an indie film geek, Wingard throws more than a few in-jokes for you to chew on. For instance, at the dinner table before his William Tell demise, West (one of the best horror directors working) shares that he’s an independent filmmaker who screens his movies at “underground” film festivals. Swanberg (god of the mumblecore scene) snidely inquires if the festivals are literally held underground, and sarcastically proposes that TV commercials are a more sophisticated art form. Hell, the simple fact that he’s cast Swanberg as an uncultured dummy and Seimetz (known for arthouse gems like Upstream Color) as a grating airhead is funny in itself. The film’s score is key in cultivating the film’s inescapable tension.
It’s comprised of ominous electronic drones and synths that contrast nicely with the gritty on-screen action, and the sound design is equally effective. Wingard and DP Andrew Droz Palermo keep things visually interesting throughout. Everything, from the constantly shifting, evocative lighting, to the careful camera placement, to the neat technical tricks (most involving blurry reflections), contribute to creating a deep sense of dread. What Wingard’s made is a horror movie for horror movie geeks. You’re Next even pays homage (intentionally or not) to classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rear Window (in a sequence that will jolt your senses), and even Home Alone. You’re Next is an absolute beast of a horror picture that’s so fierce, barbaric and terrifying that the guy sitting next to me in the theater started to convulse from fright and leaped over his chair and bolted out of the theater. Plus, it’s got a brain and a stellar heroine to boot. See it with friends—you’ll gasp, scream, jump, and squirm in unison, the sign of a true horror masterpiece. It’s gonna be hard to top this one.

BEST HORROR MOVIES SINCE 2000 BY BLAKE GINITHAN
28 DAYS LATER - An instant classic. England is a disparaged wasteland thanks to a virus that can turn humans into blood spewing monsters in mere seconds. The amount of intensity that erupts from this film as it crescendos towards the finale is unparalleled. THE CONJURING - I realize this movie came out this year, but it’s that good. A family moves into a secluded farmhouse only to find out that it is possessed by demons. By the end credits, I was mentally exhausted. THE DESCENT - This is a terrifying film about a group of women who end up spelunking and end up fighting for their lives against an evil that has been dwelling there for centuries. This one is filled with lots of great scares. THE DEVIL’S REJECTS - Rob Zombie’s film about a family of outlaws with no moral compass what so ever, is ferociously grotesque in how it swims carefree through the sick and vile ocean of its depraved antagonist’s antics. Yes, the film is very hard to watch at times, but those who stick with it will find a very well made film underneath all the misery. DRAG ME TO HELL - Sam Raimi made his triumphant return to the genre with this film about a loan officer who has a curse put upon her by an old gypsy woman. The film has both laughs and scares--you couldn’t ask for anything more. FRAILTY - Two adolescent brothers become frightened of their father after he tells them he has been told by a higher power to kill demons posing as normal human beings. Filled with tons of twists and turns, the film will have you guessing until the final shot. INSIDE - This French film about a very pregnant woman who is stalked by a mysterious murderess is very, very, very violent. It’s a grim experience and doesn’t have a happy ending, but for horror hounds, this is a good one. LET ME IN - A shy boy with no friends who is constantly bullied meets a nice girl who has an equally depressing life. They become friends and then she reveals her secret; she’s a vampire. The atmosphere is drenched in despair and the two kids are never happy, but this is by far one of the best vampire films in years. MARTYRS - Describing this film in a paragraph is impossible. However, by the time the film ends you’ll have to pick your jaw up off the floor. The final half hour becomes an endurance test as one person goes through a ridiculous amount of agony. REC - An apartment building in Madrid becomes quarantined after a mysterious outbreak starts turning residents into yes, blood thirsty zombies. This film has a lot of great scenes that culminate in marvelous scares.

OCTOBER MUSIC PREVIEW BY CARL ANTHONY Hip-hop, rock and classics from the ‘60s. From long-standing artists to emerging acts, here is a rundown of some of the music events taking place in October. Astronautalis When: Oct. 3 @ 7 p.m. Where: Boonies Bar Details: Charles Andrew Bothwell aka Astronautalis is known for his impromptu, free style performances, which often include audience interaction. His latest album, “This Is Our Science” has been his most successful, which he credits to word of mouth promotion. A recent blogs on his website thanks his fans for their ongoing support. Florida Georgia Line When: Oct. 3 @ 7:30 p.m. Where: Swiftel Center Details: Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard worked a variety of odd jobs upon graduating college in hopes their music would one day take off. That said: it might not be surprising their latest album is called Here’s To The Good Times. The duo often recalls to their early days of writing music “on the tailgate” as a precursor to their success. “Cruise,” “Get Your Shine On” and “Round Here” are spun regularly on 101.9 KTWB. Colt Ford and Dallas Smith also perform. The Kickback When: Oct. 20 @ 8 p.m. Where: Icon Event Hall and Lounge Details: The South Dakota native have returned. They are joined by Skypiper and friends Weather Rest. Tech N9ne w/ Mayday, Prozak & Stevie Stone When: Oct. 9 @ 8 p.m. Where: Ramkota Exhibit Hall
Details: The Strange Music co-founder remains an inspiration for any independent artist, regardless of genera. Sioux Falls is a regular stop for Tech N9ne who has sold over a million recordings across his entire catalog. Tech N9ne will also appear on the 8th at the Central States Fairgrounds in Rapid City. Sena Ehrhardt When: Oct. 12 @ 8 p.m. Where: Orpheum Theater Details: From the main stage at JazzFest to her return at the Orpheum Theater, Ehrhardt is sure to delight. Her love for the blues was inspired by her father, who performs in her band today. Her latest album, released in March, is entitled All In. The cover displays her in a stunning red dress. Matthew West, Jason Castro & Sidewalk Prophets – Into The Light Tour When: Oct. 12 @ 7 p.m. Where: Performing Arts Center of Rapid City Details: Grammy nominated Matthew West, Jason Castro of American Idol fame and Nashville based Sidewalk Prophets bring their healing and hope to the stage, much of which is inspired by the experiences and stories of the audience.
The Cartwright Brothers When: Oct. 19 @ 7 p.m. Where: Orpheum Theater Details: Their 25th anniversary show will have you laughing until you cry . . . or maybe crying until you laugh? Either way, it is sure to be a great time; for single and married folks alike! For extra shenanigans, look up the “church version” of Van Halen’s “Runnin’ With The Devil” on YouTube. It’s classic Cartwright Brothers! Rascal Flatts w/ The Band Perry – Live & Loud Tour When: Oct. 24 @ 7:30 p.m. Where: Sioux Falls Arena Details: Both of these artists can trace a part of their success to their ability to write crossover hits. In 2006, Rascal Flatts was the top selling artist of the year as reported by Nielsen; the same year their version of “What Hurts The Most” dominated radio. While the sales of The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” are impressive, perhaps an even greater feat would be the lyrics halting one lady’s thoughts of suicide upon hearing them. Black Mask Armada – 2nd Annual Monsters Ball When: Oct. 26 @ 8 p.m. Where: Boonies Bar

ALBUM REVIEW WITH AUSTIN KAUS Peelander-Z Metalander-Z
The latest incarnation of this Japanese action comic band puts a multi-colored mullet on their energetic sound as they pay tribute to sleeveless denim vests, air guitar and anything else associated with the fine art of hair metal. Throw up the horns and grin wide. Favorite tracks: “Ride on the Shooting Star,” “I Got Fired.”
Details: Halloween party and costume contest with prizes from Fattys Tattys. The Black Mask Armada squad celebrates the release of their latest album, Ashes of an Empire, which will be given out free, upon paid admission. Just be mindful of their crowbars on stage and do not make a joke and say their name sounds like the title of the new Pirates of the Caribbean film. That will get you beat up. AN ODD EVENT Tony DePaolo was sick of “naysayers” criticizing the local music scene in Sioux Falls. “I heard a lot of complaining about how there were not enough bands or how there are never any shows,” said DePaolo. Thus, being a music enthusiast and sales manager at Guitar Center, he created an event last year that has as much music crammed into three days as he could find, dubbed ODDFEST. We chatted with DePaolo about the second year that is being held at Boonies Bar Oct. 4, 5 and 6. There are over 30 bands playing… how did you manage to get all of them? Festivals are fun. I have really positive
memories associated with fests like this, and I wanted to provide that experience to this community. The process of organizing 30 bands was not an easy one. I started way back in January by asking Vinnie at Boonies for the dates. After that, it was just a matter of asking bands if they would do it. What type of genres will be featured? Punk, metal and indie rock. That’s what I like, so that’s what it is. At some point, I will expand it to encompass more types of music but for now, this is what it is. Why are events like ODDFEST important for the community? I think that gatherings of any type are important for a community’s growth. Any time you have a group of people together, ideas start flowing, people start talking, and things end up getting accomplished. My hope is that someone sees what this event is like and decides to do something on their own to contribute to the scene. Tickets are $25 for a three-day pass in advance or $12 per day at the door and can be purchased at both Last Stop CD Shops, Guitar Center, the 41st Street Ernie November and Boonies Bar. Sunday is all ages.
Various Artists Wheel In The Sky: A Tribute to Metallica There are zero Metallica songs on here, which gives you an idea of the kind of black-eyed-winks to expect on this gritnoise-?-rock tribute to ‘70s rock anthems. Bands like Poopy Necroponde and Erectile Dementia mutate the staples of classic rock in ways that are alternately frustrating and hilarious. I couldn’t make it through the album in one sitting, but I damn sure laughed out loud. Favorite tracks: “Tony Danza Mountain” by Whisker Fred, “Rebel Rebel” by The Dick Panthers, “Just An Old Fashioned Love Song” by Loving Couples.
Man Man On Oni Pond
Frenetic instrumentation has been replaced by a much more groovy sound on this experimental Philadelphia band’s fifth album. You can’t deny the infectious soul and talent of the group, but you might miss the chaotic clanging of early recordings, especially during this album’s second half. Favorite tracks: “Head On,” “Pink Wonton.” For this month’s full review of Jesse Christen’s album Gate of Charity, visit www.605magazine.com.

CREATIVE WRITING
About the author: Megan Eggers has lived in Sioux Falls for 11 years and is currently working on her first novel. This is the second story to be published in 605 Magazine. Special thanks go to Kittra for the inspiration for this story.
DIA DE LOS MUERTOS Maybe there was something beautiful in the skulls, but Drake didn’t see it. Miranda had seemed to think so. She had collected them for their bold lines and bright colors, loving the symbolism behind her favorite holiday. Drake picked up Miranda’s favorite, a white ceramic painted with red and black and white. The lines swirled like vines over the top of the skull, the
pulled this very skull from the shelf and danced over to him. Miranda’s voice had been as bright as her outfit when she’d described the skull. “See how it all flows into everything else and how asymmetrical it is? I love that. Isn’t it just beautiful?” Drake had nodded and smiled. Miranda just shook her head at him and got up to pull her hair back in a pink ribbon. “Well, fine, I know you don’t think its beautiful,
mother. Susan had been like a second mother to him and she’d been devastated by the loss of her only daughter. When he’d come by asking to see Miranda’s skulls, Susan had been confused, but nodded, seeming to understand that today, of all days, he needed to be close to Miranda. Susan had looked through the box with him for a few minutes, but it hadn’t taken long for her to be overcome by the grief she barely kept
detail incredible. It had been a year since Miranda’s death and he was still dealing with the pain of losing his best friend. Miranda had been his light, his center and despite her preoccupation with the Day of the Dead, they’d always had so much in common. Miranda had spent most of their lives trying to convince him to join her in the parades and the celebrations. The last time he’d seen her, she’d been dressing for a parade, her skirt bright and flowing. She
but it is to me. I’m getting my face painted like this one today.” Miranda had glanced at her watch and then rushed out of their apartment, afraid she’d be late for her appointment to get her face painted. She’d kissed him on the cheek as she swirled out, excited for her favorite day of the year. That was the last he’d seen of her. Miranda was killed by a drunk driver on the way home that night. Drake looked up as he heard a door close and then the muffled sob of Miranda’s
below the surface and excuse herself. Holding the skull tight, he wrote a short note for Susan and then left the house. Drake knew that if he thought about this too much, he would change his mind, but deep down he knew he had to do this. His jeans and plain black t-shirt stuck out like a sore thumb in the bright colors and extravagant costumes of the Dia de los Muertos celebration, but he didn’t pay any mind. The music and dancing , the faces painted

like skulls all spun around him and for a moment he hesitated, feeling like he couldn’t breathe. Stopping in the middle of the crowd, he held the skull tight with both hands and closed his eyes. Immediately, flashes of Miranda laughing and dancing on the last day of her life went through his mind. Here, where she would have been happiest on this day, he could feel her presence all around him. Drake opened his eyes and saw the festival in a new light. For the first time since Miranda began her obsession with the Day of the Dead, he understood what it was about. It was about celebrating what life the beloved deceased had lived, not about mourning. Drake had always thought the Mexican holiday morbid, but now he understood it wasn’t about death, but about life. As he looked down at Miranda’s favorite skull he smiled, his first true smile in months. A flash of bright red caught his eye and he looked up. A dark haired woman, looking just like Miranda ducked into the crowd, disappearing from sight. His breath caught in his throat and he rushed after her, dodging women dancing, men playing instruments, and children running. He caught a glimpse of red spinning away from him and he broke through the crowd to get to her. The woman with the red skirt was gone, but at the edge of the crowd was an altar. They were all over the place, dedicated to those that had been lost. The altar had a bright pink ribbon wound through intricate skulls and pictures. Kneeling in front of the altar, Drake set the skull among the other memorabilia, next to a picture of Miranda on her last day. The camera had caught her in mid-spin, her red skirt flaring up around her, her smile bright and infectious. His eyes misted, but he was smiling as he stood. Drake didn’t look for the woman in the red skirt any longer, he knew he’d found what she’d wanted him to find. He blew a kiss to the altar and then turned. “Goodbye, Miranda.” As he started back through the crowd, he felt light, as if he could finally find peace with Miranda’s death. Drake knew that was what she had been leading him to.

AT HOME with jael + brian thorpe
“We really like the whole repurposing activity—just taking things that are maybe not us and making them more personal and comfortable,” said Jael.
JAEL + BRIAN THORPE Entrepreneurs Jael and Brian Thorpe truly make things happen. When Jael isn’t working as a photographer, at her J.Ella clothing stores or at City Council meetings and when Brian isn’t on the farm, they’re creating their dream home one project at a time. The couple, who have been married four years, had been living in a ‘70s style home that they transitioned into an “arts and crafts” nest. While they enjoyed living in an older home, they literally and creatively ran out of space. “We were honestly running out of projects. We had done everything we could do to that house that we could do,” said Brian. Looking casually for about three years, the Thorpes had always loved the Indian Hills neighborhood in southwest Brookings for being “well established and well designed.” When a house came up that needed updates and some fixing up, they knew it was a great match. “We had been looking at this neighborhood for a long time and most of the homes were out of our budget, so when something came up that needed a little work and TLC it was perfect for us,” said Jael. The house, which was built in 2005, had “overwhelm-
ing” ketchup and mustard colored walls and needed a personal touch. And the Thorpes have done just that. Taking your work home with you is taken seriously, as a lot of their décor is from the farm or her studio. “You do see a lot of things from our home that is directly connected with what we do,” said Brian. “There are a lot of pieces made from our farms, like our original grain elevator and an old porch for example.” One of Brian’s largest creations in the home is where they always gravitate: the kitchen table. “A lot of our projects just come from having something in mind that we want and we can’t find it anywhere, so we see if we can make it,” said Jael. Several friends come over for dinner once or twice a week, which is why they wanted to have a laid back dining table and turned the formal dining room into a piano room. “[Entertaining] is part of why we didn’t do a formal clas-

For their creativity, the couple travels. “You just find things that you love and put them in your memory bank, and the things you build are a combinations of many things you see or are an addition to it,” said Brian. sic dining room,” explained Jael. “We wanted a cool table in our kitchen area where we actually like hanging out.” “We’re not that formal. Everything [in our house] is where you feel you can walk in and sit down anywhere and feel comfortable,” said Brian. The piano room is special for Jael, as the unique instrument was her grandmother’s. “It’s been in the family for a long time. I don’t play as much as a should,” she said. Their 7-year-old golden retriever is also a fan of the piano. “One of my very favorite things is sitting in the living room and [our dog] Jasmine will go under the piano as Jael plays the piano,” described Brian. “It’s so nice to sit and relax and to have a space you enjoy.” Their living room is the first thing you see when you walk into the Thorpe home and is filled with conversation pieces. What is now their wine rack and bookshelf was once on the curb this past spring at the Citywide Junk Exchange. “It was super dirty and covered with garbage. Turns out half of it was buried and we had no idea how huge it was,” she said. It ended up being so huge they had to take it apart and store the rest of it in their garage. This could be used for another project. “We just see things that have cool elements and if the price is right we’ll save it for future use,” said Jael. That is also what they did with their living room mirror, which had once been a painting that had been torn out.
AT HOME with jael + brian thorpe
“We loved the idea of a large mirror and we finally had room for it,” said Brian. One of their favorite pieces is their couch from Restoration Hardware. The couple said they planned on what important elements they would budget for and what they would get for bargain prices ahead of time. “Part of our design philosophy is trying to know what things to splurge on and what you can be cheap about,” said Jael. “We knew we wanted a Restoration Hardware sofa, but then we paired it with the fireplace mantel and the coffee table that are architectural salvage that we were able to find.” In many of the rooms, there are a plethora of photo collages of the couple. “We probably have more photos of ourselves in our homes than most people, but being photographers we just have them,” said Jael. More photos will be added soon as the couple is expecting their first baby in December. The baby’s room already is filled with antique furniture like a rocking horse from a Kansas City shop and the baby’s dresser. Finishing off the baby room is a plush fur rug, which is sure to have plenty of tummy time on it by the baby boy. “When you stand on it you don’t want to move,” said Brian of the rug. To decompress after working together in business and in the home, the Thorpes make sure to take Sundays off to relax in their space. “We both really like to work and it’s hard for us to sit, so we keep moving, and we’re trying to be more intentional with just being together,” said Brian. Check out J.Ella Couture in downtown Brookings or at their new location at The Bridges in Sioux Falls. For more info, visit www.jael.com.
“You’ll just see people drive around with trailers, and by that I mean us,” laughed Jael, referring to “curbside shopping.”

A TASTE OF SARCASM BY POLLY DEAN
Queen City Bakery 324 E 8th St Sioux Falls, SD 57103 (605) 274-6060 www.queencitybakery.com
QUEEN CITY BAKERY If it weren’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsoever. -David Letterman We are a country that lives for its morning breakfast meetings. Business meetings, church meetings, sales meetings, catching up with an old friend, or even a slight addiction to a latte and an almond croissant can get even the late-night owl up and ready to go. There is something about starting your work day somewhere other than your office/desk/store that sets the tone for a good day. As I sit here right now, there may or may not be a little blue bird whistling “Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah,” and if that’s not a good way to start a day I don’t know what is. When it comes to morning coffee and bakery pit stops, Sioux Fallsians are lucky to have a plethora of options. The latest one comes in the form of a new, more spacious location to revamp an old favorite. Queen City Bakery has been a popular spot among downtown dwellers for some time now, but at certain points in the day there was little room to breathe, let alone enjoy a quiche. Recently, the bakery packed up and moved down the block to a beautiful space located in the historic Frank Transfer and Storage building on 8th Street. The space sits directly across from 8th and Railroad center and neighbor Monks House of Ale Repute. The Crane Center, where Queen City Bakery is located,
actually has external parking adjacent to parking for Monks. If you have ever been to Monks on any given evening, you know how tight that parking lot in back can get, you can expect that most mornings visiting Queen City. More times than not I have arrived to look for a spot, only to get stuck in some sort of Austin Powers back and forth backing up situation. That being said, there are many windows in Queen City, and no one wants to be that person in the parking lot everyone is laughing at. Be careful before you venture back there, sometimes it is just a better idea to park in the street. That being said, parking is quite possibly the only thing about Queen City Bakery that doesn’t have me jumping for joy. Not everyone will agree with some of these, and I will explain why. Queen City Bakery works at its own pace. One can’t enter while double parked on 8th Street and expect their latte steamed extra hot, no whip, extra flavor, add soy, whatever. If you walk into Queen City Bakery running late, you will leave pretty annoyed and even more late. While this may sound like a negative aspect, I see it as an absolute positive. There is no establishment in Sioux Falls that requires me to slow my pace and enjoy myself like Queen City.
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 27)
Here are some of the reasons I am content to put my cell phone timer down and just take it all in. It’s the facts... · Almond croissants. Enough said. They have a limit of two per customer unless you call in an order in advance. The croissant is baked to perfection with slivered almonds scattered on the top. In the center of the amazingly soft croissant you get surprised with a little dash of almond cream. One of the best items they bake, hands down. · They serve coffee from a specialty roaster from Ithaca, N.Y. called Gimme! Coffee. This roaster is widely hailed as one of the best coffee producers, and you can tell why the second you slurp. I have had the black coffee, the espresso both hot and iced, and the quality is phenomenal. My one suggestion would be a menu of some sort with the different drink options. I know what to order when it comes to coffee, but for a newbie trying for the first time, it can get confusing to not have a menu for reference in regards to the different java drinks one can consume. · Queen City has bagged items for sale such as granola, homemade marshmallows and lavender butter cookies. I have never jumped on the edible lavender flavoring train, as I still just taste bubble bath, but I hear they are fantastic. · Queen City has a variety of cake sizes available for purchase with advance notice or by the slice daily in a variety of flavors. Everything from chocolate and vanilla to chocolate espresso and passionfruit. The flavors are all equally enticing and taste divine. · Another breakfast time staple for Queen City Bakery are the quiche. You can buy an individual size quiche daily or special order a 9” quiche for the whole office or family. (Or just admit that you can eat more than the individual size, but prefer to do so in private watching The Price is Right. No? Anyone?) (ATMOSPHERE) You are in historic, beautiful, but packed downtown. Parking is really my only complaint. The back parking lot is a bit of a mess and certain spots are for certain people, and once you are in, it is a huge headache to change your mind and park on the street. Once you get in though, you forget all of that. The beautiful natural light, the exposed walls and beams, and the gorgeous floors make this new space not only more functional in size, but absolutely stunning to be in. Side note: Maybe some more tables? (SERVICE) Like I said earlier, Queen City Bakery moves at a pace all its own. This is no Starbucks with a drive thru timer and a drink per hour quota. Each espresso shot is going to be properly tamped and poured perfectly. There is almost always a pretty intense line, due in part to the fact that it appears only one person is working the register, the bar and the bakery case. In some instances this would bother me, but they are always so nice. (TASTE) Everything they bake is evidently baked with precision, art, and a lot of flavor. Not only are the cakes beautiful, but they taste amazing. The scones are nice to look at, and even nicer to enjoy with your coffee.

PINK SLIP BALL What do you get when you combine ball gowns, food, wine and a whole lot of pink? You get a creative, though monochromatic, fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City, S.D. has hosted the Pink Slip Ball each fall since 2010. The formal gathering draws its name from the winery’s Pink Slip rosé wine, which was used to tie in to breast cancer’s pink ribbon campaign. Everything from the decorations to the wine, the food and the attire of the guests is in varying shades of pink. The liberal use of this flamboyant color, especially by the clientele, is one of the highlights of this evening. “It is so much fun to see all the great pink gowns and dresses, men with pink ties, and of course, the really great shoes,” said regular attendee Patty Neumiller. Though the general tone of the Pink Slip Ball is as light as the color it is named for, the event does have its serious moments. Each year, a cancer survivor is invited to speak. “The stories are always very touching and real,” said Prairie Berry’s kitchen, merchandise and events manager Holli Edwards. “There isn’t a dry eye in the house.” This event is not just for pink lovers and supporters of the fight against cancer, but also for the survivors. “I had no way of knowing how much this would affect people,” said Edwards. “But after seeing the tears, smiles and laughter of our guests and having them come up to me saying, ‘This event gave me something to look forward to Submitted Image.
at the end of my chemo,’ and, ‘I bought a special wig just to wear tonight,’ makes all of it worth it.“ Edwards was inspired to create this event by the death of her mother from kidney cancer. “My mom’s experience made me want to do something for those going through the illness and also to support the caregivers and others who rally around those with cancer,” said Edwards. Her position as events manager at Prairie Berry provided the perfect opportunity and venue to provide this support. Last year, the Pink Slip Ball raised over $2,500 with between 50-75 attendees and over 50 percent of sales being donated. This year the winery hopes to top 100 guests. The Rapid City and Hill City fire departments will be helping them attain this goal, by joining in and serving patrons. The musicians for the event are also donating their time, contributing to the atmosphere and providing tunes for the patrons to dance to. You can support this cause by purchasing tickets to the Pink Slip Ball for $50 by calling the events office at (605) 5741002. Those unable to attend can still help raise funds by purchasing Prairie Berry’s Pink Slip wine—$1 of each bottle sold in October will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

deadwood Haunts
IMAGES BY BONNY FLEMING OF ASIO STUDIO
605 took an exclusive ghost tour of the Historic Bullock Hotel in downtown Deadwood. One thing is for sure: we’ll never look at mirrors the same way again.
Something tapping your shoulder, tugging your elbow or pulling at your shirt.
t
he smell of cigar. A man’s voice saying your name. Something tapping your shoulder, tugging your elbow or pulling at your shirt. “You never know what you’re going to get when you walk into the building,” said Madame Molly of the Bullock Hotel. Deadwood’s first hotel proudly states that former owner and town sheriff Seth Bullock still walks the corridors of the building, keeping guests and staff on their toes. Mind you, he died in 1919. Our ghost tour guide knew firsthand about the many ghosts appearing in the establishment. Molly Bukobac, current Bullock Hotel historian and town re-enactor of Madame, Calamity Jane and Martha Bullock, has worked at the haunted hotel for years and saw a ghost her second day at work. “They threw me at the front desk by myself to see how much I knew,” she recalled. A woman had walked up and chatted with Bukobac about how she had been hoping to see spirits during her stay. As the woman flipped through the binders in the lobby of ghost photos and accounts from guests of Bullock Hotel past, Bukobac suddenly saw a person standing behind her. She recalled, “There was a black silhouette of a man about 6’1 wearing
a cowboy hat and a duster. I thought it was odd because I could see through him.” By the time Bukobac instructed her to turn around, the ghost had disappeared. And that’s not where it ended. Disappointed, the woman went back up to her room and returned an hour later. Holding up an image on her camera, she showed Bukobac and image of a man sitting as if he was in a chair reclining in the middle of her suite. “It was Seth Bullock—you could see that much detail in his face and shoulders,” she said. Bullock has a very distinct look. Taller than the average male at the time, Bullock towered over everyone and was known for his unforgettable mustache. “He had steely cold, blue eyes and could stop an argument by just glaring at you,” said Bukobac. At the time of Bullock’s arrival from Helena, Mont. in 1876, Deadwood wasn’t even a town. “It was illegal for us to be here,” explained our guide, as the land was Native American territory. But word of gold didn’t stop anyone from invading the “Gulch,” and U.S. Marshals didn’t have enough power to remove them, which led to hundreds of deaths not being catalogued in the 1800s.
“We don’t know where they died, if they were murdered, if they just passed away or what,” said Bukobac. This could be why so many spirits with unfinished business are still strolling the streets. “There have been occasions where people have walked down Main Street in the middle of the night and have seen horses and carriages running through the streets being driven by an old cowboy,” she said. “It is a very rare occasion, but if you’re lucky it can happen to you.” Arriving by horse and covered wagon himself, Bullock set up on the very corner Wild Bill Hickock was shot by Jack McCall (which occurred the day after his arrival) and held an auction with wares like pots, pans, dishes, tents, blankets and chamber pots (or toilets). He sold 63 chamber pots that day. Shortly after, he purchased the lot the building currently sits on with his partner, Solomon Star, and built a hardware store. During that time there was a Smallpox epidemic, and small health care clinics were put up all over town. “One of the clinics they setup was actually right in the basement of the Bullock,” said Bukobac. Calamity Jane would come by and help take care of patients, but one pair that didn’t make it with her aid was a prostitute and her daughter, Sarah.
“Both Sarah and her mother are still here,” said Bukobac. Feel a tug at your shirt? It’s probably Sarah. All of the spirits haven’t left because the hotel has the original foundation of the hardware store with soot and all from the fire that tore it down in 1894. In 1895 Bullock separated from Star and started the first hotel in town. “We kept the original foundation in the building for historical value and to keep the energy from back in the 1800s,” she said. They since have restored the building in 1990 and went from 63 rooms (in homage to his chamber pot sale) to 28. One guest was taking the ghost tour and saw Sarah’s ghost in action. He simply took an image of the basement bar with his flip phone. What he saw astounded him. “Between the last two bar stools was the image of a little girl, ghost white and peeking around the bar stool at him,” recalled the guide. Taking photos during the tour is a must and is encouraged, as you never know what will appear. Orbs tend to make an appearance often, which is a physical manifestation of a spirit in the form of light. It looks like a ball of light, and some are big while others are small. “Most orbs are small. It takes a lot of energy to make a big one,” said Bukobac. Just be careful, as you never know
“A little boy who had gotten out of his hotel room spotted the photo and said, ‘Hey, that’s the guy that let me back into the room earlier,” she said.
“Things are a little different for me. I have the habit of actually seeing spirits and hearing them and knowing where they’re at when they’re active.”

what you’ll get. Mirrors are everywhere in the Bullock Hotel, and they act as portals for the paranormal to come through. One woman took a photo in the mirror in the basement and was shocked to see a man’s face floating above hers in her camera. Walking up the stairs to the second floor of the hotel, there is another mirror where certain shapes can be seen in photos. “This mirror has been known to show symbols—most commonly of which is an A or a star or a pound sign,” she explained. There are several theories on these. The star and the A could be because Bullock was a U.S. Marshal and “won’t put up with ruckus in his hotel.” The other theory is that he was a Mason, but there has been no proof of that connection. The pound sign could be from “Sol” Star, who was an accountant. “When you work with money and you’re an accountant like he was, you use the pound sign often,” said Bukobac. A mirror at the top of the stairs on the third floor has had sightings of Bullock’s best friend, Theodore Roosevelt. “There was one instance that you could see Roosevelt so clearly you could see buttons on his vest, the chain from his pocket watch and the monocle on his face,” she said.
There was a photo taken of this incident, but it mysteriously vanished. Bullock’s wife, Martha, also shows up at times. Guests and employees get whiffs of rosemary and lilac, which is what she wore for perfume. “If you catch that light smell, maybe Martha Bullock is nearby,” said Bukobac. Staying in rooms 203 and 303? That is where the old parlor was where Martha listened to classical music and hosted her friends. Don’t be surprised if you hear Scarlatti, Bach or Beethoven if you stay in those rooms. Trouble sleeping? One couple staying in the parlor rooms was tossing and turning after a night of gambling. “All of a sudden there was a woman in the room singing a soft, melodic piece,” said Bukobac. “So apparently Martha knew they were having trouble and decided to help them out.” No matter where you’re at in the Bullock Hotel, you’re sure to encounter something. Whether it’s room 309 where the staff can’t the scribbled word “Seth” off the wall, or the bar stools mysteriously moving in the basement—nowhere is safe from the paranormal. Bukobac said, “I always tell people, if you come to Deadwood, you’re in a haunted town. No matter where you go, it is haunted whether they want to admit it or not.” For more info, visit www.historicbullock.com or call (800) 336-1876.

SIOUX FALLS JAYCEES HAUNTED HOUSE Their dreams are your nightmare. The Sioux Falls Jaycees are bloodying their shirts and greasing their chain saws for their infamous haunted house. Volunteer Brandon Butcher (who could ask for a better last name for this story?) is the guy behind the screams as the Jaycee’s Haunted House director. “We start working on the next haunted house as soon as the current one is done,” said Butcher. Jaycees spend their time scaring the living daylights out of people for the good of the city. The group spends their time volunteering to build fundraisers that help their local community like Fourth of July entertainment and holiday gifts for children. Their unrivaled haunted house is their biggest fundraiser, raising between $25,00-$35,000 every season. “It brings something to the people of the area that we all can relate to and that we all enjoy,” said Butcher. “I mean, who doesn’t like to get scared on Halloween?” On average, there are three to six people that build the haunted house, two to five that decorate and 10-25 that do the frightening. The volunteers get together and think of themes and ideas to keep it fresh. “The haunt is always different, the maze/layout of the house is never the same,” described Butcher. “Every year we make up a new layout and add new ideas to the project. As for this year, the most I can say is that the acting aspect is better than ever before.” A favorite theme has been the “Insane Asylum” they did a few years back. “The most favorite actor of the haunted house is our
Freddy Krueger. He will always get the scare,” said Butcher. One memory that stands out from the haunted house is a few years ago when Butcher was a clown with a straight jacket. “I had bright orange hair and was chasing a few teenage girls into their mom’s car,” he recalled. His clown partner saw and decided to join the fun. “We stood outside the car door and just stared into the window trying to open the door,” he continued. “The tears of fear and the laughter of others made it a highlight for me.” Keeping on their game is impressive throughout the haunted house season. Last year around 6,200 people went through, and other years there have been over 8,000. “[The fear scale] depends on the customer. We have had people have panic attacks just in the line and we have had kids laugh at our scariest actors,” said Butcher. The Jaycees do host a kid’s day for a non-scary environment. This event is not recommended for pregnant women or people with high blood pressure, back or neck ailments. Just remember—it is all in good fun! Butcher said, “Come on down this year for a great time, get scared, laugh and enjoy the holiday season that we love!” Entrance is $8 per person, $6 with canned food and is held in the Fine Arts Building at the W.H. Lyons Fairgrounds. For more info on volunteering or attending, visit their Facebook page or www.siouxfallshauntedhouse.com.

THE REAL DEAL
Name: Carolyn Ribstein Ages: 48 Hometown: Harrisburg, S.D. Specialty: Respiratory Therapist
“I had no idea people would be so interested in my creations. It made me more confident in my ability and was the boost I needed to take my art to the next level.”
CAROLYN RIBSTEIN After dabbling with polymer clay for some time, artist Carolyn Ribstein wanted to mix things up. She soon discovered an online tutorial about covering old Altoid tins with clay and suddenly became inspired again. Unbeknownst to her, Ribstein’s son posted images of her work on Reddit (a social news and entertainment website), receiving over 300,000 views and words of support. We chatted with the artist about her exposure, her unique pieces and how she turned a breath mint container into eye candy. Tell us about your artistic background? As far as I can remember, I have loved creating things. I grew up around art and it has helped to shape the person I am today. I have worked with many mediums, including drawing, painting and photography. Can you explain polymer clay and why you use it for this project? Polymer clay is a man made plastic compound that is soft and pliable. It comes in a variety of colors and can be sculpt-

ed, molded or shaped into art pieces. After it is formed, it is cured in an oven. When did you discover that your son put your work on Reddit? I received a text message from my son the morning after he posted pictures of my tins. He sent me a link to the post and I saw the hundreds of comments and was shocked that it had reached over 300,000 views so quickly. What type of response did you have and how did it affect you? I was blown away by the response! I had no idea people would be so interested in my creations. It made me more confident in my ability and was the boost I needed to take my art to the next level.

We read you had plans to start an etsy page? My etsy page, Spirit Creek Art, is just getting up and running. What have some of your pieces been and how many are there? I have done many pieces, ranging from the Vikings logo to Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.” I have created around 30 tins, although most of those are no longer in my possession because they were given as gifts. How long does each project take? It depends on the detail. It is hard to measure time in this context because I work on them on and off throughout the day, but I would say anywhere between four and 24 hours. What do you hope to do with these tins? How do you feel that you have inspired other artists? I would love to sell them now that I see the interest, and my goal is to make this into a full-time business. I have had many opportunities to show others how to work with clay and I hope that I have inspired them to continue their creativity.

LITTLE PARENT ON THE PRAIRIE by Tracy Kirby
I met my fairy godmothers. And parenting has never been the same.
bio: Tracy Kirby’s roots and heart are in the Hawaiian Islands, but destiny has led her to the prairie. She is a wandering traveler, a wife to a dashing Sioux Falls native, a mother to a 2-year-old daughter and 145-pound bear puppy, a freelance writer, and a lover of souls.
Illustration by Liz Long.
MY FAIRY GODPARENTS I’ve always loved the idea of having a fairy godmother. Just some sweet little creature flitting around waiting to wave a wand and voila! My problems melt away… and maybe I get a new dress and shoes out of the deal, too. But, c’mon. Unless you have a name that starts in “Cinder” and ends in “ella,” that fairy ship has sailed; no disappearing problems or magical dress and shoes for you. However, when I started down this little journey called parenthood two years ago, I was surprised to find that we do, in fact, come face to face with the factual equivalent of fairy godmothers. Look around you, dear reader: They may not have sparkly wands. Rather, they have cracker crumbs on everything they own. They are chasing a screaming tyrant (oops, correction, child), down the aisles of Target. Their houses are bursting with insanity-causing singing toys. And, of course, they are always in haste and there is a chance they forget to put on pants from time to time. Yes, our fairy godmothers are simply other parents--fellow moms and dads in crime. People that intimately know the ups and downs that define the lifetime career of parenting. A little background: I’m not from the
great state of South Dakota originally (as if my picture didn’t already scream it from the rooftops). I moved here with my husband and daughter a year ago this month, basically not knowing anyone but some family members. That is a hard transition when Sioux Fallsnative husband goes to work all day, you have a one-year-old, its deathly cold outside and all you can see as far as the eye can wander is ice. Ice. And more ice. And snow. And chislic. I had to meet other moms in my same boat. My life depended on it. So, with the help of my mother-inlaw, I immediately started joining and doing things where I knew I would rub shoulders with fellow parents: Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), church, bible studies, Kindermusik, wandering the aisles of Hy-Vee looking desperate and friend deprived, etc. And lo and behold ... I met my fairy godmothers. And parenting has never been the same. So, why are they so vital? Because parenting is the best job in the world, but at times you can feel extremely isolated. Sometimes you can feel like you are the only one in the world doing what you do, and it all often goes unnoticed. But having moms/dads-incrime around can change that. It actu-
ally makes you feel like you are part of an elite club of super men and women all on an epic quest to change the world. And even then, when you can’t seem to see the larger picture, they can show up at your door bearing gifts in the form of lattes and adult conversation. They can offer to take your child, hold them and love them so you can take a sip of aforementioned latte. They can empathize deeply when the word “teething” is muttered. And they might share an expletive with you, should the need arise. Long story short; they get it. They get you! And vice versa. Just being there with you and you with them makes it feel like a magic wand was waved, and suddenly you don’t feel quite alone in your quest and your burdens feel lightened. So, if you don’t have fellow parents… get them. Join clubs. Do play dates. Do whatever it takes. Your sanity depends on it. (And seriously, do it before winter strikes). And lastly, to all of you that do have these type of friends, get in your car right now. (Don’t forget pants). Bring them their drink of choice. Or a new dress or pair of shoes. Squeeze them. And thank them for being your fairy godmother.

“We are trying to draw runners from not only all over the U.S., but around the world,” said event manager Emily Wheeler.
A CRAZY MARATHON The Run Crazy Horse Marathon begins with the sound of tennis shoes pounding pavement and the stone face of Chief Crazy Horse bathed in the morning light as hundreds of runners begin their 26.2 or 13.1-mile journey. Rapid City’s YMCA wellness director Nicole Craig will be one of these runners as she plans to run the half marathon. Craig is now a seasoned marathoner with around 12 marathons and countless half marathons under her belt. However, this is was not always the case. Craig’s first serious race was the Deadwood-Mickelson Trail Marathon on June 6, 2004. “It started out as a dare,” said Craig. “A friend bet me I wouldn’t run a half marathon.” It’s clear from Craig’s running record that she overcame that challenge many times over. She still uses the same program she used to tackle her first race to train for this year’s Run Crazy Horse Marathon. Craig likes to start her training session 12 to 15 weeks before a race, running no more than three to four days per week. Each week she fits in a short run—ranging from two to three miles, a five-mile run incorporating speed intervals, and a long slow run of about eight to ten miles when training for a half marathon and 16-18 miles when training for a full. “My friend said, ‘If you stick with this [program], you will cross the finish line,’ …and he was right,” said Craig. The health benefits of the race are not the only reason Craig does marathons. “I’ve met some wonderful people out running,” she said. The uniqueness of the Run Crazy Horse Marathon lends Submitted Image.
itself to attracting a variety of participants. “We are trying to draw runners from not only all over the U.S., but around the world,” said event manager Emily Wheeler. This race accomplishes that goal by bringing in participants from 41 different states and three countries—Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands. This event can attract people from so far away because it was conceived four years ago by Wheeler as a destination run with the monument as the focus. “Being able to include Crazy Horse is a big draw,” said Wheeler. This marathon brings in people who don’t want to have to plan their vacations and their marathons separately and also are apparently women. Crazy Horse runners are 62 percent female, which is higher than the average of 55 percent of most marathons. This may be correlated as the family-friendly nature of the Black Hills and the event—which even offers a 1K run for children—could attract more mothers. The Run Crazy Horse Marathon and half marathon start Oct. 6 at 8 a.m. Registration fees are $95 for the full marathon and $85 for the half. This event also offers a five-person marathon relay and fast 5K run. The kid’s 1K is at 12:45 p.m. on Oct. 5 at Tracy Hall Park in Hill City.

“This event combines physical and mental strength for people that enjoy running, getting a little dirty, climbing obstacles, all while being chased by motivational zombies,” said Bonsall.
Z WARRIOR SPRINT Do you have what it takes to survive? On Oct. 12, join the 2.5K sprint filled with man-made and natural obstacles while being hunted by the flesh-starved undead. That’s right, it’s time for a zombie run. Jump, crawl and run your way through the mud and blood in hopes of reaching The Survivor Zone alive. “Z Warrior was created to bring a different twist of fall fun to the Sioux Falls area,” said founder Ryan Bonsall. “After watching a YouTube video of zombie runs, we really wanted to run in one but there were none around this area.” “We” being a large group of zombie enthusiasts, including the Sioux Falls Roller Dollz. Chrissi Casados, also known as Not So Ninja, is one of the zombies in the run and is looking forward to a fast meal. “I’m really excited to get the opportunity to not have to go hunting for my prey; they will just try and run past me and I will grab and eat my fill of brains,” she said. Warriors wear a flag belt (similar to flag football) that represents health. To complete the course, at least one flag must still be attached by the end. Fallen warriors who have lost all flags have become causalities of the undead resurrection. “The survival run is more than just a fun run,” said Bon-

sall. “You have to run for your life, avoiding zombies along the way well overcoming obstacles such has abandoned vehicles, tires climbs, mud pits and haystacks. Warriors never know what lies ahead.” Fifty warriors are released every 15 minutes. “All participants receive a warrior bandanna and either a survivor shirt with bragging rights or casualty shirt to wear in defeat,” said Bonsall. “All participants that dress in costumes will be entered to win cash and prizes.” The run is for physical fitness of all levels. “This event combines physical and mental strength for people that enjoy running, getting a little dirty, climbing obstacles, all while being chased by motivational zombies,” said Bonsall. Motivated is an understatement. “I want to tell you my motivation to catch warriors is to eat there brains, but really it’s to watch the terrified look on their face as they try and run away,” said Casados. The event is brought on by the Tea Fire Rescue, Sioux Falls Zombie Walk and the SFRD. Registration starts at $69 and run times are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. in Tea.
