SODAK CON If you’re ready to let your geek flag fly, SoDak Con is for you. Founder and executive director Shareece Tatum wants to give people who like geeky things a safe place to be themselves. She describes it as “a very welcoming place that lets you be who you are and let you geek out about your fandoms.”

SODAK CON IS SOUTH DAKOTA’S LARGEST GEEK CONVENTION. SoDak Con is South Dakota’s largest geek convention. The three-day festival started in 2008 and has since grown to welcome 1,500 attendees per day. This year, it will be held June 24-26 at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City. Tatum started miniature manga (Japanese Comic Books) events at the Waldenbooks Store in the Rushmore Mall. She did the events for one year before attending Nan Desu Kan, which is Denver’s Largest Anime Convention. Tatum says that when she went to that convention, she developed a drive to bring that magic to the Black Hills Area. SoDak Con started out as an anime convention but rebranded two years ago as an all-over geek convention. 16 // JUNE 2016

BY JORDAN SMITH “We always welcomed anyone to come, but it wasn’t until we rebranded that we started to offer more content that wasn’t strictly anime,” explained Tatum.

anything you could want in geek merchandise. The artist alley is the event’s vendor area, filled with about 30 artisans selling wares that include fan art and fan art inspired crafts.

If anyone is skeptical, Tatum says no matter what your geek is, you will be welcome. You can come have a fun time to enjoy meeting and hanging out with people that like the same things that you do.

Since SoDak Con was founded, two great things have come out of it other than the convention. There is now a community outreach charity group called Bunny’s Heroes that takes cosplayers of wellknown characters from Disney and comic books to visit hospitals and help at events for Make-A-Wish and Storybook Island. There is also a Masquerade Ball every October, where cosplayers dress in formalwear. A full court is appointed and there is a mixture of ballroom and dance music.

“The event will feature special guests, including some big stars,” she promised. “We have Dante Basco coming - many know him as Rufio from Hook - and Prince Zuko from Avatar, The Last Airbender.” A cosplay (costume) competition is a huge part of the event, and every year the contestants show up in outfits that look like that they came straight from the screen. One of the main events on Sunday is a high fashion show, which includes two designers and the winners from the cosplay contest. Additionally, there will be panels, an art show, manga and geek library, a tabletop gaming room, plus a video gaming room and live video room. Another thing for attendees to check out is a vendor area and artist alley. The vendor area features around 20 mass market vendors that come in from all over the nation, including those that sell figurines, Japanese candy, comic books, prop weapons, and just about

For those who are apprehensive or have never experienced anything like SoDak Con, don’t worry. Tatum says guests will be exposed to a completely different entertainment and artistic industry that they otherwise wouldn’t even know about, and a community that is welcoming and full of energy and enthusiasm. She hopes that SoDak Con will broaden the artistic value and acceptance of artwork that isn’t the norm. Pre-registration is $40 for the weekend or $85 for “premium,” which includes front row seating at all main events, a convention t-shirt, early admittance into the dealers’ room, and a loot bag. Door prices are $45 for the weekend or $25 per day. For more info, visit sdcon.org.

Q&A

DAKOTANS ARE REALIZING THAT OUTDOOR SKILLS AREN’T TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. THEY ARE A PART OF OUR STATE’S CULTURE AND HAVE AND PARKS SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR EMILIE MILLER EXPLAINS HOW THIS MONTH’S OUTDOOR UNIVERSITY AND CAPITOL CAMPOUT EVENTS KEEP US IN TOUCH WITH OUR WILD SIDE.

In a nutshell, what are the Outdoor University and Capital Campout events? Emilie Miller: Outdoor University features numerous skill stations and booths where families can get hands-on experience with a variety of outdoor activities. Capitol Campout lets families tent camp for two nights on the Capitol lawn, turning it into a whole weekend of fun in the outdoors. Both events seek to introduce participants to new ways to enjoy the outdoors. Why do you think these events will resonate with South Dakotans? EM: Even with South Dakota becoming more and more urban, our state has a strong connection to nature, with the outdoors playing important roles in much of our culture, traditions and history. People want to share that connection with the next generation and learn new activities they can do together as a family. Many of the state’s exceptional outdoor spaces are preserved as national, state and local parks, and we want to introduce folks to all the wonderful ways they can enjoy them. Why do the campout at the Capitol and not some campground? EM: Capital Campout originated as a national initiative two years ago as a way to connect with urban families in the state’s capital city. Each state’s governor plays a role in the event, and hosting it on the Capitol grounds makes it a

unique and attention-getting experience. Our event expands that original vision even further to include Outdoor University, where non-campers can enjoy the activities too. It looks like ours will be one of the largest Capital Campout events in the nation, taking place over two nights and with about 100 families (450 campers) participating, all on the Capitol grounds. What are some of the specific events taking place? EM: Outdoor University includes kayaking, canoeing, fishing, rock climbing, shooting, archery, outdoor cooking and more. You can touch fish, turtles and frogs, watch hunting dogs demonstrate their skills, climb in a conservation officer's truck, try on lifejackets. It features activities for the whole family – even the littlest outdoors-people can get in on the fun. Those staying overnight with Capital Campout will participate in nightly programs, including making stick bread and s’mores. Do you need to RSVP? How much does it cost? EM: Registration for Capital Campout is full, but Outdoor University is free to attend and you can come and go throughout the event; no need to pre-register. Outdoor University and Capitol Campout run June 10-12. For more info, visit gfp.sd.gov.

Maloney lives in Mississippi and he likes all these things. He also likes drugs and having sex with strangers behind the Waffle House. Oh, and Maloney just happens to be a reverend. He's not a particularly good reverend. He lives on a boat and likes to light up a spliff in the confessional. He gets bullied by 12 year-olds and has sex dreams about the Holy Ghost. He has been in love with a girl named Tuesday for a while and his best friend is Eli. If you tell Eli your birthday, he can tell you the day of the week you were born on. He's also really good at chess, which Maloney takes advantage of. They travel around and enter chess tournaments. Eli wins and Maloney keeps the prize money. Eli isn't very smart. He's just good at chess. Maloney starts seeing a girl named Darling. She seems better than Tuesday because she loves him back. And then she gets pregnant. But when Eli and Tuesday are kidnapped by the local pawn shop owner Dick Dickerson, Maloney springs into action to save the day. In the process of saving them however, he burns a subdivision down. With the cops and a headhunter named Jack Cataract after them, Maloney, Darling, and Eli head to New York where it will take winning a real life chess match to get out of trouble.

THE FAR EMPTY BY J. TODD SCOTT

We're all pretty sure that we know the truth about a lot of things, but everyone also knows that 500 years ago people believed a bunch of stupid stuff that wasn't true. Well, Chuck wants to imagine how our truths of today will be viewed in the future. I'm pretty sure we're wrong about a lot of stuff.

In small-town Texas, 17 year-old Caleb's mother went missing over a year ago and a guy named Chris Cherry is the new deputy. When remains are found in the desert, the only suspect appears to be Caleb's dad and Chris Cherry's boss, the sheriff.

Bromance and romance overflow as we watch the boys get acquainted with each other and with the pretty girls scattered around their little college town. Our in is Jake (Blake Jenner), a chipper freshman who’s joining the team as pitcher. When he arrives at the semi-decrepit campus house designated for the team, he’s met with a mixed reaction: the older players don’t take kindly to pitchers, while Jake’s fellow wide-eyed newbies have no problem palling around. The common denominator is the team’s passion for partying, and party they do. By day, they laze about, smoke pot, sit in circles and space out to psychedelic rock records; by night, they’re tearing it up at local clubs and trashing their already-crumbling abode beyond recognition with all-night ragers.

A well-oiled machine of a hangout movie from Linklater.

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! REVIEW BY BERNARD BOO READ FULL REVIEW: WAY2IN.DE/25O

Few filmmakers can put together a hangout movie like Richard Linklater has, and his crowning achievement in that realm is, to this day, 1993’s high school cult classic Dazed and Confused. The movie’s trailer recommended you “watch it with a bud,” but most of us who’ve seen it know that there’s no need; Linklater’s wonderfully funny, charismatic, super cool characters are all the company you could ever want. Billed as the “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused, Linklater’s latest, Everybody Wants Some!!, follows its predecessor’s formula to great success, its director’s tools now several times sharper than before. The two films share a general locale with both taking place in Southeast Texas, but while Dazed followed its characters on the last day of high school in the ’70s, the new film takes us to the early ’80s, following a fictional university’s baseball team as they shack up and party on over the long weekend before the start of the fall semester.

Everyone will walk out of this movie with a favorite character, and the fact that (at my screening, at least) they varied wildly speaks to how great they are. There’s Finn, the faux-intellectual ladies man; Dale the coolas-a-cucumber, cultured team veteran; Willoughby the golden-haired, guru-like stoner with a secret; Beuter the cowboy outsider with a needy girlfriend back home. The list goes on, and every one of them is fantastic and hilarious. My favorite is Plummer (Temple Baker), a secondary character who nonetheless makes a big impression with his sleepy-dumb-guy appeal. This was actually Baker’s first acting role, but Linklater’s casting instincts are ridiculously good at this point in his career. The chemistry between the cast members is like butter, which is and always will be the key to hangout movies. One of the most extraordinary things about Linklater’s Boyhood is that it doesn’t have any sort of forced dramatic agenda. It’s a quality Everybody Wants Some!! shares; there are no big fist fights, shocking betrayals or tearful breakup scenes to be found. There’s emotion running throughout, but it all flows and arises organically, which takes away a lot of the anxiety we’re used to swallowing in coming-ofage tales. This is easy viewing through and through, though that’s not to say it’s shallow. It’s far from it, in fact; living with Linklater’s characters as they explore life, unsupervised, without inhibition, engages the heart and takes you back to a freewheeling, optimistic state of mind and body that many of us let go of a long time ago.

MAGGIE’S PLAN Featuring dazzling performances from an all-star cast led by Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, and Bill Hader, Rebecca Miller delivers a brilliant genre-bending film that works on many levels. Equal parts whimsical, rom-com, and highbrow, Maggie’s Plan feels like a Woody Allen film. The film provides interesting perspectives relationships and love, suggesting that love is messy and that it’s not about who you want to spend the rest of your life with, as much as it’s about figuring out who you can’t spend your life without. Miller throws a curveball at the traditional story arc, keeping the viewer on their toes.

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE There’s nothing complicated about this zany New Zealand-set comedy, which seems aimed at the same younger demographic who fell in love with Napoleon Dynamite. Though there’s some adult humor sprinkled throughout, it’ll be the young adult audience laughing at every gag while older viewers eventually grow tired of the cheap laughs (especially the repeated fat jokes) and dispensable storyline. Fans of Flight of the Conchords will be delighted to see Rhys Darby in the film, and he steals the whole film with his small role. While most of the humor and wacky shenanigans become tiresome by the end, those looking for some light entertainment will find just that.

AFTER PARTY AT WILEY’S TAVERN

AT H O M E W I T H

ANDREW JANDT Located on a quiet street in southwest Rapid City, Andrew Jandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home is one where old meets new, and seemingly divergent styles can mingle happily. Jandt, who works full-time as a senior supply chain analyst for an energy firm and parttime as a visual artist and musician, has transformed what could be a very cookie cutter four bedroom, 2,500 square foot duplex into a unique, deeply stylish home.

26 // JUNE 2016

“My personal style I’d say is somewhere between French Empire, Midcentury Modern, and Farmhouse. You can tell from the chandeliers, that’s kind of the French influence there. The distressed woods are the farmhouse component. Then I have some midcentury pieces,” he said, motioning to a plush, armless white chair and a curved eggplant-colored sofa, which looks like a replica due to its impeccable condition.

“The couch is something I inherited from my brother-in-law’s family. It’s '60s midcentury. It had been underneath sheets for about 50 years. I absolutely love it.” Jandt admits the couch isn’t the most conducive for overnight comfort, but his three spare bedrooms compensate for the lack of practical living room furnishings. Harper, his statuesque Afghan Hound, finds herself right at home on both the curved sofa and the guest beds, following along closely as we tour the house, generously lending her modeling skills to nearly every plush surface we attempted to photograph. The living area is part of the home’s great room, which includes a large dining table crafted from rustic wood beneath a large, ornate chandelier, surrounded by white Herman Miller chairs. The adjacent kitchen’s cabinets are a light natural wood, punctuated by a tile backsplash in an array of neutrals and metallics, reminiscent of a fish’s scales. The commercial-level kitchen is outfitted with Viking appliances and boasts ample counter space, perfect for an aspiring chef. “I cook a lot,” he said. “I’m always trying to get new ideas. [Cookbook author] Erin Zieske is one of my best friends, and I have a lot of her recipes, but they may be a little advanced for my particular skillset.” Gracing the walls of the home are a variety of works by Jandt. “My art is inspired by Los Angeles graffiti. I used to live out there and there were a couple spots I’d drive by on a regular basis. As you can see there is a little South Dakota and some Los Angeles in that,” he said, referencing a large painting bookending the dining table. “The South Dakota component being the deer antlers and the Los Angeles part being the graffiti pen.” The three upstairs bedrooms are sparse, but tasteful. The master’s bed is adorned by a star quilt his mother received as a

retirement gift. On the wall, Jandt created a clothesline-inspired display of notes left for him by renters when he worked with Airbnb, an experience he calls “tremendous.”

“I have 39 reviews and five stars, which is pretty darn good. I’m not really going to do it anymore, though, because it’s so much work.” He instead spends his free time working on his guitar skills and playing gigs throughout the Black Hills. It’s a passion that has increased in intensity in recent years, which he is able to hone just a stone’s throw away at local coffee shop Rumours, and in his basement, where a veritable timeline of guitars and amps double as décor. The dominant feature of the home’s lower level is an eight-by-forty-foot guitar wall, which Jandt pieced together from repurposed barn wood. It holds a collection that he says is always one shy of perfection. A weathered church pew serves as shelf to display his extensive record collection. After years away, this Rapid City native is glad to have created a home that inspires him, and serves as a space for creativity to flourish. “When people come over, I want people to feel at home,” he said with a smile. “I want this place to be comforting and a place they can enjoy themselves. My musician friends just grab guitars and sit down and jam, and it’s pretty impromptu and we love it.”

"BUILD A COMMUNITY OF WOMEN WHO LOVE CRAFT BEER AND WHO ARE AN ACTIVE, CONTRIBUTING PART OF THE GREATER CRAFT BEER COMMUNITY."

A PINT WITH THE GIRLS BY NATALIE SLIETER

GIRLS PINT OUT (GPO) is a national craft beer organization geared towards women. It began in Indianapolis in 2010, and has grown to include more than 80 chapters in 35 states. Now, GPO has found roots in Brookings, with Wooden Legs Brewing Company as the chapter’s home brewery. The Brookings GPO Facebook page says its mission “is to build a community of women who love craft beer and who are an active, contributing part of the greater craft beer community.” The previous pubkeeper at Wooden Legs Brewing Company, Cassie Ten Cate, came up with the idea of bringing GPO to Brookings, but did not want to start it on her own. That’s where cofounder Charmaine Houck started her journey with the group. Houck and Ten Cate held the first Brookings GPO chapter meeting in January 2015. After Ten Cate got married and moved to California, Angela Yahne came on as co-organizer with Houck. The chapter puts on monthly events, which include touring the growing number of breweries in the area to help women become familiar with the various types of beer. “Anyone is welcome at anytime,” said Houck. “We don’t have any dues. We don’t even really have RSVPs.” 30 // JUNE 2016

In May, the group took a tour of Sioux Falls’ breweries. “We try to educate people on different styles,” continued Houck, “so if we’re going to a brewery, we’re going to get you information about what they brew, and actually taste some of that.” The chapter has roughly a dozen regular attendees, but turnouts of 35-40 people aren’t unusual. GPO has hosted events such as a cupcake and beer-pairing with Oh My Cupcakes. Houck said they also did a beer pairing with Girl Scout Cookies. These tasting events bring in many women not accustomed to the beer world, and according to Houck, men are also invited to join. “That helps us get the word out, because we do open up those tasting events to all genders and anybody can come enjoy that. Then that gives women who aren’t necessarily used to our group or even used to the beer scene, but think that might be a fun event, to open them up to other possibilities in the future.”

The GPO chapter also hosts quarterly philanthropy events. The chapter did a bake sale for breast cancer awareness, raised money for Relay for Life, donated clothing to Dress for Success in Sioux Falls, and helped with the Brookings Backpack Project. When asked why women should check out the GPO chapter, Angela Yahne said with a laugh, “Because we’re awesome.” Houck said beer has predominantly been targeted towards men, so this group is for women to learn about and try beer in a fun environment. “This is a place where there is no judging,” said Houck. “We take anybody and everybody. You don’t have to sign up. You can just show up at an event.” For more info, search “Brookings Girls Pint Out” on Facebook and Twitter, or email brookings@girlspintout.com.

Brother Ali

hen Brother Ali last took the 605 Summer Classic stage in 2013, things didn’t go as planned. A huge crowd clamored to see the Minneapolis-based hip hop artist, and he was ready to give it his all, but Mother Nature had other ideas.

“There was a really bad electrical storm,” he remembered. “We were really excited and the crowd was amazing. It was rainy and windy, but people were out there anyways. We were all dedicated to having a good time and sharing that moment together, but then the electrical part of the storm went crazy and the promoter was worried for everyone’s safety.They ended up shutting it down after a few songs.”

And yo whatever comes up comes out We don©t put our hands over our mouth

You see with golden eyes The novocain lullaby Reach and crack the sky With an open mouth, peace inside

Hippo Campus

What followed was a harrowing late night trip back to Minneapolis for a frustrated Ali, one which he now admits was ill-advised. “The storm got really bad and there were times we thought the car was going to tip over. It really was not a good idea for us to drive home in that storm. So it’s a really profound memory that I have - remembering that tomorrow isn’t promised and we really can’t take anything for granted.”

Fast forward to 2016 and Ali is ready to finish what he started when he headlines the second and final night of Sioux Falls’ annual summer kickoff party June 25. For those who have yet to see a Brother Ali performance, he says to expect to experience a wide range of themes, moods, and emotions. “When I perform live, the thing that runs through all of my songs, it all comes back to being hopeful. It always comes back to love. I think

that’s something that I offer, where in a lot of modern music, especially hip hop music, there isn’t a lot of overt celebration of love. That’s what my shows are.”

In addition to finding resolution, Ali is looking forward to the diversity that comes with festival season. Jake Luppen, vocalist and guitarist for Minneapolis-based indie ensemble Hippo Campus, agrees.

I need a jack and coke

Heatbox “I think it’s cool to see people coming together at those events,” said Luppen, adding. “There’s so much light you can really see everybody and everybody’s faces. It’s a cool environment. It’s unlike anything else.Where else do you get the vibe of ‘we’re all together in this massive space and it’s all about music’?” He says his band’s brand of indie rock fits perfectly with the music fest atmosphere. The sound is what he describes as “summery.” “It’s music our friends can dance to. We have a wide variety of influences. Little Comets, hip hop, we’re all over the board. Usually, we

prefer things that are upbeat and make people dance.” 2016’s Summer Classic, presented by University Center and Carnaval Brazilian Grill, will follow the established formula of “one night Indie, one night hip hop,” although most music fans are likely to enjoy both lineups. Erin Castle of Sioux Falls-based Americana group Union Grove Pickers says her band’s music often transcends tastes.

feel,” she said, adding, “It’s not like we’re here for a certain group of people. We write what we like.”

Union Grove will take the stage midway through Friday evening, after Maddie Todd and Gordo Ji’Bang, and followed by Heatbox and Hippo Campus. “Gordo Jibang has been really fun,” said Castle of the Sioux Falls-based duo. “They’re awesome to watch. Elsa actually stepped in and played for us at the “Older people and younger people tend Orpheum show we did last this spring. to like our music, but we write what we She is so incredible.

That means tons of trash is needlessly winding up in our landfills every year. According to the Ecomaniacs website, “when people see trash on the ground daily, they become blind to it,” so simple awareness is half the battle. Anderson says that during cleanups, the group has found all sorts of items (some which he doesn’t feel comfortable mentioning in print), but some of the most common are food 40 // JUNE 2016

”

cleanups. Second, the group relies on donations from organizations and individuals. These funds are used to develop its recycling education curriculum, and to spread the message of environmental responsibility to more community members. And finally, taking time to learn which items are recyclable and using trash receptacles appropriately is the ultimate expression of love for the community and the Earth. The implementation of single stream recycling, wherein we put all of

our recyclable items in one bin, has increased the practice significantly. But, Ecomaniacs believe, without continued education and awareness, no recycling program can succeed in the long run. Anderson summed it up, “We believe that conservation and sustainability aren't dirty words, but the foundation for a clean city with a high quality of life.” Learn more about Ecomaniacs and how you can help at ecomaniacssd.org.

FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY

T H E B A K E RY // 910 N M A I N AV E . S I O U X FA L L S , S D 5 710 4 // FAC E B O O K .C O M / T H E B A K E RY S F BY DENISE DEPAOLO

“I think of [street food] as the antidote to fast food; it's the clear alternative to the king, the clown and the colonel.” — Anthony Bourdain Sioux Falls' love affair with the food truck may have flickered and sputtered at times, but if the popularity of Food Truck Friday is any indication, the fires are burning brightly once more. For the second year, coworking space The Bakery is hosting the monthly event in its parking lot. The 605 team decided to stop by the season's first Food Truck Friday in late May to see who was back and what's new. We arrived right after five and already, lines were forming at several of the dozen or so trucks onsite. Since the first Food Truck Friday last summer, many changes have occurred. First and foremost, it's moved from the lunch hour to the evening. More seating is available, with additional tables set up north of The Bakery. Also, there's a beer garden, which we saw as a welcome addition on a 70-degree Friday evening. Our group of four made our way passed the line of trucks parked along Main Avenue, through the parking lot (where more trucks were parked), and stopped at the drink ticket table. Each ticket was $4 and good for one of the Fernson beers on tap or a glass of wine at a distant tent. Near the ticket table, local party guru DJ Kor from Pinnacle Productions was cranking upbeat country and dance music. Although it was a little on the loud side (how old do I sound?), the music helped set a festival-like tone.

THE BARBECUE SAUCE AVAILABLE TO TOP IT WITH WAS RICH AND TASTY, A GOOD, MIDDLE-OF-THEROAD OFFERING - NOT TOO SPICY OR SMOKY OR SWEET. We grabbed an open table in the beer garden and subsequently dispersed to procure some grub. First, we got a "Louie" from Scotty D's barbecue truck. This was hoagie roll loaded with brisket and pulled pork. On the side, we got the mac and cheese. The meat was 42 // JUNE 2016

moist and incredibly tender. The bun, however, was a little too dense and bready. The barbecue sauce available to top it with was rich and tasty, a good, middle-of-the-road offering - not too spicy or smoky or sweet. Basically, it's a sauce I would feel comfortable putting out at a party, if there was room for only one sauce. Next, we stopped by Sub Hub and got the Blue Bomber. This is a truck that I'm pretty familiar with. They've been around for several years, and they have never served me a bad sandwich. In fact, their attention to details like creating homemade sauces and making sure that they have the best bread have made it a favorite in my household. This was my first time trying the Blue Bomber, though. It was a pulled chicken sandwich topped with a bruschetta blend, spring mix and bleu cheese. Although previous experiences had set my expectations high, they were met with this sandwich. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the vinegary tomatoes blended wonderfully with the mild bleu cheese dressing. The bun was soft and chewy, with a slightly crusty exterior. Long after we finished the first couple of items, our graphic designer returned from the Hunny and Bunny line. Apparently, ticket times were exceeding 30 minutes. And that was after standing in line for 20 minutes or more. What she had to show for nearly an hour's wait was a pita piled with shawarma, lettuce, and tomatoes next to a pile of lightly seasoned fries. The fries were really good, even after they cooled off. Despite being generously cut, they managed to avoid being too dense. The pita had a great texture, managing to be chewy while maintaining its integrity beneath the delicately flavored steak. The steak, while well seasoned, was a bit tough to chew. However, that did not keep me from eating a piece I dropped on my 2-month-old daughter’s head. Just saying. Finally, we all split at Caramel Cave Cake from Heart of the City, a gluten and allergy sensitive bakery that had a table set up. This petite treasure was one of the moistest cakes I've ever tasted. The bite I had tasted decadent, but light, likely due to the almond flour it was made from.

Bourbon’s, Beers, & Bites to eat. With 24 craft beers on tap, you can take your TapHouse experience camping, picnic or just home. We are home of the 32oz canned Crowler, where the beer stays fresh for years.

By the time we left our table, people were circling, waiting for any available seating. And while it would have been fun to stick around for the social aspects of the event, the crowd had swelled and it felt like time to go. Bottom line: If I’m in town, this is a must-attend event. However, I will always try to arrive as early as possible. I like delicious, creative food from a truck as much as the next person, but I hate waiting longer than I would in a sit-down restaurant.

[AT M O S P H E R E ]

TapHouse, next to Scheel’s on 41st. must be 21 to enter.

The vibe was upbeat. The extra seating and beer garden were welcome additions. I saw many people bring their food to adjacent Tower Park and make a picnic of it. Good idea.

how to shave...it was a tough learning experience. I wasn't involved in a good crowd. I was kicked out of my house when I was 16 for selling drugs, and was homeless for the next two years. I got into trouble when I was 18, and ended up in prison for three years. I spent a lot of time on my music in prison – that was my escape. There were a handful of people who wrote me letters, but I didn't have any visitors my entire time there. When I got out, I told myself I was going to be sober and do things the right way. I started to really focus on recording. I got a job and was working 65-70 hours every week, saving every dollar I had to put towards my music. Where do you find inspiration for your music? NM: My life experience drives my music. It gives it real substance. I reflect on my struggles and life lessons in my writing and put together beats and background vocals that make it entertaining to listen to. When I was in prison, music was all that I had. It was my way out. I went through a serious depression, and all I would do is write. All of those emotions show through my music. When did writing and recording become more of a career than a hobby?

NIKKO MCFADDEN AGE: 26 // HOMETOWN: SIOUX FALLS //

SPECIALTY: “REAL, SUBSTANTIAL MUSIC” BY LEAH VANDEN BOSCH

NIKKO MCFADDEN is making a name for himself, and this time around, it's for all the right reasons. After spending time selling drugs, living on the streets, and behind prison bars, McFadden is pouring his struggles into rhyme, recently releasing his third album, Chapter 26. Looking forward to his performance at the 605 Summer Classic this month, McFadden reflects on the past that has influenced his passion for hip-hop and motivation for success. What has fueled your drive for a career in hip-hop music? Nikko McFadden: I started writing when I was 12 years-old. I loved writing poetry, and as I started getting into hip-hop music, my writing naturally transitioned into that. My parents divorced when I was 8 years-old, and I started getting into trouble soon after that. I was mad at the world. The whole father situation was hard for me. I didn't have anyone to teach me how to be a man, 46 // JUNE 2016

NM: In 2014, I did what every mother always tells her kid not to do and quit my day job to start working on my music full time. I moved to Omaha to be closer to my road manager, Harold Monday, and the Vado Films video crew. My singles were immediately put into rotation with 106.9, Omaha's largest urban station. Last year, I had two full tours across 12 states, and threw the first annual Real Life Music Festival. We have the 2nd annual festival this September. I recently released my 3rd full length album, Real Life Music Vol. 3 – Chapter 26, and reached my 10 year anniversary recording at Cathouse Studios with longtime friend and engineer Mike Dresch. I am so blessed to be where I am. I'm living my dream. How has your past experience changed you? NM: I share my past experience to try and help others. I don't like to preach, but I do talk to the younger generation. One of my biggest aspirations is to work with troubled youth and give back to the community that has supported my vision. I've spoken at the VOA several times, a group of 100 kids came to hear me speak at Augustana College campus, LSS, Boys and Girls Club, I love doing stuff like that. Where do you hope to take your career? NM: I have seven festivals coming up, including the 605 Summer Classic with my Real Life Music partner Philly Fate. It's going to be awesome. I've been wanting to perform on that stage for years. I'm starting a business here in South Dakota with a friend of mine, Vaney Hariri, teaching artist development courses. It's a 12-month program covering every aspect of a career in music, from marketing and branding to the motivation fueling the artist. Going into this business without having a mentor was really tough for me. I learned along the way, but if we could help others through our own experience, we could cultivate our scene. It would be a blessing. I would love to travel coast to coast if I could. Get a national distribution and have my songs played across the country. Ideally, I'd like to take this as far as I can get.

POWER OF EXAMPLE BY TRACY KIRBY | IMAGE BY CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

Learning to walk is kind of hard work. You’re using muscles you have never used before. Often times, you crash and burn. Injuries can ensue. And if you’re my son, your extra large thighs — which came by way of waking everyone up and eating several times in the middle of the night — get in the way. But in the end, the hard work pays off. You grow. You mature. My son has been learning to walk the last month and nothing has been more fun for our whole family than to watch him figure it out. The look of victory that washes over him when he pushes himself up and puts one foot in front of the other sends all of us into a cheering, and quite frankly, super idiotic-looking frenzy. We, of course, have an excessive and embarrassing amount of recorded footage of the 10-month-old new walking sensation. And as I was watching some of it, I noticed something I didn’t notice before in all the commotion; my husband. No one is cheering and encouraging louder and more genuinely than him. And in turn, mirroring his example, I watched as my daughter caught the cheering-like-a-maniac fervor and did the same. Together, their cheering section provided just the right amount of crazy for the little walker to walk on. What is it about the power of example a father has over his children? A couple of weeks ago, I let my daughter choose a lunch destination. Thinking she would choose a fun bakery or our favorite sandwich shop, Potbelly; I was slightly horrified when she chose a greasy fast food joint. But, trying to not be boring ‘ole pro-vegetable Mom, I acquiesced. When we arrived, we had to wait a bit because the little fast food chain got enormously busy. As we waited, I saw a man approach the counter while his school-age child waited a few steps back. I heard him angrily inquire where his food was, that he had been waiting minutes for his food. As the workers apologized profusely and scurried to make his order right, he began 48 // JUNE 2016

screaming at the workers. He continued to humiliate and berate them, his voice growing louder arousing the attention of all the patrons. Demanding to see a manager and refusing to be quieted, I saw the manager count out a refund to him: $13.49 to regain the peace. In all of this, my eyes shifted to the child behind him, staring quietly at the commotion before him. And again, I wondered … What is it about the power of example a father has over his children? In June, we celebrate fathers. We celebrate, and perhaps in some cases even mourn, whatever precedent they set for us in our lives. And whether good or bad, there is no doubt that there is great power in the example of a father. And whether good or bad, children tend to emulate their father in some way shape or form somewhere down the road. As parents, that’s a scary fact, right? They emulate us. My husband and I are quickly learning how terrifying it is to have little sponges around soaking in every single little thing we do. And believe me you, we’ve had to explain and apologize for some bad examples we have set. In that sense, parenting is much like learning how to walk: We’re using muscles we’ve never used before. We crash and burn (a lot). But in the end, it pays off. We all grow. We all mature. But speaking to you dads specifically, since it is Father’s Day, my gift to you is this fact: You hold the power. The power of powerful example. You can encourage your kids to be encouragers and champions of others. You can also encourage your kids to belittle and humiliate others for such things as a measly $13.49 refund. No matter what example you choose to set, know, you hold the power!

YES, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS ARE NAMED JOHN. YES, IT WAS A POPULAR NAME IN THE ‘80S. THE IDENTITY OF THESE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JOHNS? SHOOT AN E-MAIL THEIR WAY AT THEJOHNS@605MAGAZINE.COM.

My sisters are getting married three weeks apart in different (far away) states this summer. I could maybe swing one trip, but there's no way I can afford to go to both. Do I pick one and piss the other off, or do I skip both and send each a nice gift? JR: RSVP to both. Go to the first one and when you are just drunk enough, insist on giving a speech. In the speech, air all your sister's dirty laundry. You won't be needed at the second wedding. JW: Oh you are so screwed. You need to go take out a payday loan and make it to both. Seriously, sell blood, pawn your car, or start a crowdsourcing page to pay for it. If you skip one or both, you will be a family pariah. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. JT: Start mowing lawns, buddy. Or come up with a good excuse, skip both, and lay low for a while. If you go to one and not the other, it’s going to look like you’re playing favorites, and that will likely cause ripples for years.

I just set up my first online dating profile. I haven't gone on any dates from the site yet because I'm nervous that the guys are going to be psychos, but there is one I've started chatting with. What would you suggest as a first date that would be safe and comfortable for a dating newbie? JR: I've been online dating since AOL set up online chat rooms. I'm a pro at the online part. Never had an actual in-person date yet, though. Let me know how it goes. JW: I'm swiping left on you, because you sound high maintenance. JT: If you’re truly nervous, suggest lunch or coffee. However, it sounds like you’re just making excuses. Pull the trigger and give someone a chance. Romance isn’t going to find you if you stay on your couch.

My fiancée has started talking about babies. A lot. I don't want kids, and last time I checked, she didn't either. Should I hang on and hope that this baby fever is a phase that will pass? JR: I wouldn't start asking your fiancée questions about what she wants family-wise. It doesn't seem like your place. Sit tight and hope it passes. JW: If you want a nice bucket of ice-water for that fever of hers, have her sleep over at one of your friends’ houses who have a newborn for a weekend. The sleep schedule alone will totally 'Romo' that baby fever out. (I'm using Romo as a synonym for choke, because Tony Romo, and football is almost here, and what was the question?) JT: Volunteer to babysit for a friend’s kids together. Not a cute little baby, either. Make sure you pick someone with a couple of teething toddlers. If she still wants kids after that, odds are it’s not going to pass and you’ll have to have a talk.

DISCLAIMER: ASK THE JOHNS IS A SARCASTIC PIECE. THEIR ADVICE IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY… EXCEPT JUNEBE JOHN T’S.

Minor medical calls were made during a 12hour period at the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas last year, according to foxnews.com. Of the 135,000 people in attendance at the three-day music festival, there was one death, 26 arrests for drugsrelated felonies, 10 arrests for misdemeanor crimes and one arrest for driving under the influence.

American Idol, the popular singing competition on Fox, finished its fifteenth and final season this spring, forever crowning Trent Harmon as the reigning American Idol. The show first premiered on June 11, 2002, with judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, who discovered popular artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery, and Phillip Phillips.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, with about 65 million copies sold. The “King of Pop” has also sold over 400 million copies of his five albums worldwide and won 26 American Music Awards, more than any other artist. This month marks the seventh anniversary of Jackson’s untimely death from cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009.

Between 1964 and 1970, the Beatles had 20 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the most of any artist or group ever. Some included “Help!” and “Hey Jude.” Following the British group are Mariah Carey (18), Michael Jackson (13), Rihanna (13), Madonna (12), The Supremes (12), Whitney Houston (11), Stevie Wonder (10), and Janet Jackson (10).

keeping fruit

fresh Browning fruit and vegetables are not only unappetizing, they can mean wasted money. Sion Lidster of Sioux Falls health food store Pomegranate Market shares some of his tips for keeping produce fresh, even after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut.

Water

Citric Acid

Pickling

Plain old water will do wonders. Store chopped root vegetables like potatoes, turnips, and carrots for up to a week submerged in cold water.

A bit of lemon or lime juice will help preserve the color of apples, avocado, bananas and pears.

For those with a little time and ambition, pickling can preserve fruit and vegetables for months. This is ideal for fruit purchased in large lots or for gardeners with bumper crops.

Submerging apples, pears, and other firm-fleshed fruit into boiling water for a very short time can stop the browning enzymes. Keeping cucumbers or celery in a shallow bed of water, not necessarily submerged, will keep them fresh and crisp for days. 60 // JUNE 2016

For a small amount of fruit, squeeze the juice directly onto the cut flesh. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with a larger batch, squeeze the juice from a whole lime or lemon into a bowl of cool water, then submerge the cut fruit briefly.

A mixture of spiced vinegar and sugar can keep fruit like pears and peaches tasty and ready to eat (visit 605magazine.com for easy recipes for pickling fruit).
