WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN AUGUST
Helen and Troy’s Epic Road Quest by A. Lee Martinez
You by Austin Grossman
Helen and Troy are on a super cool quest across America. If you know your mythology, then you know there will be a cyclops and stuff. I don’t know, this guy is pretty funny, so check it out.
The Book of Immortality: The Science, Belief, and Magic Behind Living Forever by Adam Leith Gollner
Adam is going to delve into immortality. People have been obsessed with this forever, from the Fountain of Youth to genetic engineering. It won’t be long now until we figure this out. I know I’m planning on living forever.
Russell is in his late 20s and has just dropped out of law school. He has no idea what he will do and no real job prospects. So he gets a job at Black Arts Games. Black Arts Games makes all the normal games. They have a fantasy series called Realms of Gold. They have a cold war espionage series called Clandestine. They have a futuristic space exploration series called Solar Empires. You might be asking yourself how a law school dropout could get a job at such a prestigious video game company. Well, it turns out that Russell was good friends with the founders of Black
Arts Games in high school in the early ‘80s. Simon was that really smart guy who didn’t really do all that well in school. He’s, like, smarter than school. He was that kid who, when he first saw a computer in the ‘80s, just knew that he had to know everything about it and how to program it. Darren, on the other had, was a cool nerd. He did well in school, but he was also invited to the cool parties. He was going to ace that chemistry test, but he might actually have sex before Reagan left office. So, with Simon’s computer programming genius and Darren’s people skills, they found Black Arts Games when they were still teenagers. But after much success, Simon dies mysteriously, leaving Darren in charge. So, enter Russell as a new hire when Black Arts Games is going through a bit of a transition period. With Simon dead, Darren leaves the company and starts a new company, taking half of the team with him. Russell is quickly promoted to an important role in the production of Black Arts Games newest video game. But as he dives into the past of the Black Arts empire, he realizes that Simon has left something behind. And as he digs deeper and deeper, he realizes that he’s going to have to follow it all the way to find out the truth.

ALBUM REVIEW by austin kaus
Lucas With a K Dear Me, F--- You I never got to enjoy one of their cold beers, but I was lucky enough to experience the Pomp Room as a high school kid with bad hair, squinty eyes and a big pile of virginity. The place may have been dirty and possibly dangerous after sunset, but I have enough memories of all ages magic that my girlfriend is accustomed to the sigh that comes every time we drive by the parking lot that now sits where the Pomp Room once reigned supreme as South Dakota’s premium venue for ringing ears and sweaty t-shirts. There will never be another Pomp Room. But, from its ashes have risen Lucas With a K, a local band made up of Sioux Falls adults with faded tattoos and the same punk rock attitude that helped me forge notes to get to the Pomp in the first place. Their debut EP will please any fan of half-a-case punk rock made up of up-tempo songs about fellowship, touring and drinking enough Pabst Blue Ribbon to stun a bison. Full journalistic disclosure: I used to be in a band called hollander with both LWAK guitarists Bryon Middleton and Eric TeSlaa. This plays absolutely no part in my review. In fact, it made me worry about it. This job and my musical history means I have to review albums by friends. Or friends of friends. Or people I’ll just have to run into at shows. It’s a weird form of pressure to balance friendship with journalistic integrity. Adding punk rock (one of my favorite genres) just complicates things. You love something for more than half your life and it’s hard to get excited about anything new, much less something put out by former band mates. Thankfully, it’s not a problem with
this record. Dear Me, F--- You is a fine collection of anthemic punk rock that tips its sweaty hat to some of the greats that performed on the Pomp Room stage while acknowledging there are still bills to pay and oil to change. It’s a precarious balance to play middle-finger punk rock and still get up for work the next morning, but that’s exactly what this album does. On “Best Intentions,” front man Hunter Johnson sneers “F--- your expectations,” which can easily be interpreted as an answer to anyone who might roll their eyes and say, “Wow. A 30-something punk rock band. Great.” Yeah, Hipster McGhee. It is great. LWAK touches on the same topics they were crowd-surfing to 15 years ago. Failed relationships. Drinking. Drugs. Regret. These aren’t things that go away once the mohawk gets shaved off for the job interview. “Self-medication no longer keeps my intrigue,” according to “Minor Chords,” but it doesn’t make it any less of an adult option/temptation. That coffee gets mentioned before whiskey in “Loud, Dumb and Broke” and is a testament to punk rock maturity, but it certainly isn’t a statement of security. The guitar lines aren’t anything complex. The three-part vocals are sometimes growled, sometimes sneered and occasionally just erupted off-key. The genre isn’t brand new. If punk rock was never your bag, steer clear of this EP. But anyone that looks forward to the show, a round of beer with friends or just a life that doesn’t so much resemble the one you listened to punk rock to escape in the first place will find LWAK to be kindred spirits that will still play your garage, even if they do have to get back to their jobs and families the next day. The Pomp Room is a parking lot. Beards turn gray. Hangovers take a lot longer than they used to. But the spirit that Lucas With a K captures on their debut will still be recognizable to anyone that laced up a combat boot or used change to pay for a seven-inch. It’s easy to dismiss music that pales to what you fell in love with decades ago, but it’s hard to deny that we all might just be, as Johnson sings on “Nosebleeds… I’ve had a few,’ “trying to get back home to somewhere safe, somewhere familiar.” The album is available for pay-whatyou-want at lucas-with-a-k.bandcamp. com or from the band directly.
ALSO LISTENING TO: Mark Mulcahy “Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You”
Formerly of Miracle Legion and Polaris (the “Adventures of Pete & Pete” band), Mulcahy remains one of the singer/ songwriters that can not only hold my attention, but also continues to surprise me with engaging songs that sound like he’s lost in the music while maintaining direct eye-contact with the listener. (www.mezzotint.com) Favorite tracks: “I Taketh Away,” “He’s a Magnet,” “My Rose Colored Friend,” “Bailing Out on Everything Again,” “The Rabbit.” Longmont Potion Castle 10
I can never figure out if this surrealist and anonymous prank caller is aiming for juvenile giggles or a fascinating look into the psychological reactions of the average America, but, once again, he achieves both in a way that alternatively stuns and entertains. (www.longmontpotioncastle.com) Favorite tracks: “Lamb Dilemma”, “Interloper’s Probation,” “Turtle Pleasure,” “Neighbor Noise.” The Pride of Erie, PA Let’s Start A Band
Bill McShane of the much-missed 90’s power pop group Ultimate Fakebook leads a new group of soda rockers on this EP that’s made for summer and dancing like no one is watching. The album is available at iTunes and Amazon. Favorite tracks: “The Queen at 4 a.m.,” “Can’t Stop Falling in Love.”

Byzantium

The site is focused around, but certainly not limited to, independent films.

Since the advent of color in film, gushing red stuff has been one of cinema’s most enduring images—the sight of blood seldom fails to trigger something in us. Blood can be spectacular (Kill Bill), repulsive (Evil Dead) or erotic (pretty much every vampire movie ever). In Byzantium, Neil Jordan’s latest (and particularly sullen) take on the vamp-flick, blood represents the penance, anguish, shame, and suffering inherent in the immortal curse, much like the great Let the Right One In (though much flashier and sans the snow). Stylish, beautifully shot, violent, gothic, romantic— Byzantium is vampire lore done right, though it has its hiccups. It gets too caught up in its own mythology at times, and the storytelling gets a little cluttered near the end. Ultimately, it’s an engrossing modern vampire tale that’s elevated by a killer cast and stunning visuals. The film notably resembles Jordan’s biggest feather in his directorial cap, Interview with the Vampire, though it exchanges super-hunks Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt for a pair of equally (if not more) fascinating ladyvamps—a mother and daughter duo. Gemma Arterton plays the viciously protective and predatory mother of teenager Saoirse Ronan, a gentler, more conscientious soul. Arterton
hunts her mortal prey with cunning and frightening precision, while Ronan chooses to only feed on the willing, an apologetic death-bringer of sorts. Forced to live as vagabonds, darting from city to city to protect their immortal identity (much to the frustration of ever-teen Ronan), their newest stop-off is a tranquil coastal town where Arterton seduces her way into securing them a place to stay—an out-of-service hotel called Byzantium (which she converts into a brothel, an environment we later learn she’s all too familiar with.) Ronan meets Caleb Landry Jones, a sweet, endearingly shy yet persistent admirer, who’s determined to break Ronan’s shell. Jones is captivating, a scraggly and unkempt fellow with long, tangled red locks that tumble where they may (he’s the polar opposite of the super-symmetrical sexbros of Twilight.) Jones and Ronan play off one another so well it’s impossible not to get caught up in their every glance, every subtle gesture. We yearn for them to be together just as they yearn. The youngsters’ tug-o-war courtship is the film’s everything— without it, the Byzantium would amount to nothing more than a good looking plot machine. At about the film’s halfway mark, we begin fleshing out the mother/
daughter backstory with intrusive flashbacks. These scenes feel more like pesky interruptions than anything, halting the momentum of the wonderful Ronan/Jones romance incessantly. What’s worse, the mythology detailed is of no interest whatsoever—a generic gothic fairy tale with an uninspired feminist twist. The anti-climactic final “action” sequence is rudimentary and predictable (it thinks it’s pulling a swerve while we’re easily three steps ahead), and upon reflection, the film feels more like an episode than a selfcontained movie (sequels are inevitable). Despite all this, what resonates most about Byzantium isn’t its flaws, but its truly remarkable strengths— the themes of identity and trust; the richly textured, alluring imagery; the brilliantly acted relationships. Most interestingly, it’s what’s absent from this vampire tale—fangs, stakes, garlic, crosses, coffins, holy water—that afford Jordan and company enough breathing room to weave such an intoxicating and (ironically) humanistic yarn.

ALSO WATCHING: MUD
8.1 out of 10
Patrick Gross Read full review: http://way2in.de/5x
Jeff Nichols’ latest film is now finally hitting the theaters after nearly a full year since its warm receptive premiere at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Mud centers on two teenage boys who end up befriending a fugitive that is looking to dodge the men who are out looking for him. The lead is given to Matthew McConaughey, who has been on an amazing ride of films as of late, and dominates the screen the moment he appears. This film just solidifies the fact that Jeff Nichols is a director to keep an eye out for in the future. FRANCES HA
7.3 out of 10
C.J. Prince Read full review: http://way2in.de/60
It’s hard to really dislike Frances Ha as Greta Gerwig’s performance, the breezy pace and quick-witted script work like gangbusters for the most part. The director, Noah Baumbach, keeps his focus on characters who seemingly flail through life, while Gerwig injects a playfulness and light sense of humor that keeps things from wallowing in despair. Unfortunately, as the redemptive last act kicks in, the conclusion gets too rushed. The final scene, where the title is explained in a great shot I won’t spoil, wraps things up nicely enough that it’s easy to not mind the rushed ending. SIDE EFFECTS
6.9 out of 10
Dustin Jansick Read full review: http://way2in.de/6z
Utilizing the script from Scott Z. Burns, Steven Soderbergh delivers a mostly satisfying thriller that presents several twists and turns along the way to keep the audience guessing the whole way through. Side Effects starts off as a film about exposing the unethical sides of the pharmaceutical industry, but then changes directions several times just as you begin to think the film is about a singular subject. As long as you do not nitpick on the ways the film purposely uses its misdirection to fool you, Side Effects is at least an entertaining film from the prominent filmmaker.

The rock band will be performing at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally from Au-
gust 5-10 before putting on a show at Rapid City Summer Nights on August 15. Afterwards, the group will travel to Spearfish for yet another set, continuing their constant tour of the country. Band member Shane Funk, who lives in the Spearfish/Rapid City area along with two other members, said he loves playing at Summer Nights. “That’s a pretty big event,” he said, “and the event’s growing every year.” Judd Hoos was founded in early 2004. The group started with Funk as drummer, vocalist Bob Zwart, bass player Chris Hornick, and guitarist Drew Lerdal. They were joined by Zach Fronce of Omaha, Neb. and Andy Young of Spearfish, S.D. in 2010. Judd Hoos has released two albums. Better Intentions was released in 2008 while TWO came out earlier this year. “I think our new CD is a pretty wide spectrum of influences,” said Funk, stating that TWO features mixtures of different types of rock. The band has opened for national acts such as Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. Judd Hoos is also known for their initiative to own their own equipment and maintain the same road crew. Lerdal works as a music producer now, but still helped Judd Hoos with TWO. He even performed with them during production. “Really, we’ve had a lot of continuity,” said Zwart. “We’ve got a far reach.” Judd Hoos attributes some of their success to South Dakota. Thirty percent of their shows this year will take place in the state, and Sioux Falls is their number one city. South Dakota stations have also helped the band gain exposure. “South Dakota radio is basically the biggest supporter that we have in the states,” said Young. In the near future, Judd Hoos is looking to continue their pursuits of success in the music industry. “I’m ready to start writing, put on another album,” said Young, “That’s what I want to do.” For the latest, find Judd Hoos on Facebook or visit juddhoos.com.

CREATIVE WRITING
About the author: Bryan Aukerman teaches English and loves to write whenever he gets a chance between grading papers. His wife, Jenna, and his dog, Bacchus, have helped provide the levity necessary for him to believe that Sharon still wants to spin.
“THE DAY SHARON STOOD STILL” It was a Thursday when it finally happened: the world was fed up with the people living on it and just stopped spinning. Now before you call the world heartless, you should know that Sharon (I bet you didn’t know the earth prefers to be called Sharon) felt terrible about the whole situation. Surely some good people would suffer because of the inconsiderate jerks that caused this monumental event, and Sharon felt just awful about that. In any case, there we were, the good, the bad, and the grey still together. Some were yelling and gnashing their teeth, some weeping, and some simply yee-hawing like idiots, all floating up into the atmosphere. Most scientists noticed that everything started floating, but the journalists covering the story about the scientists’ discovery couldn’t agree if “this floating business” was actually happening. Whether we agreed with it or not, Sharon was on a spinning embargo as an ultimatum to humanity. Graphic by C. T. Miner
So, with or without solidarity, we all clumsily drifted upward. Many people were frightened by this vulnerability, so they did what humans have done for centuries when scared: they grabbed their guns and fired. Not knowing who to blame, many—not all—gun owners were sure they’d feel better if they shot at something; however, they hadn’t considered the repercussions of firing a gun. Like usual, the trigger clicked and the muzzle exploded with a real big boom that made them feel better, but on this day there was no gravity to keep the gun-people from floating away. Some thought the world would be safer because these gun-people were gone. Many people were sad to see them drift away. The next to float away were the racists, elitists, sexists, ageists, and all the other -ists. They just kept shouting and shouting, and though they skillfully propelled themselves from the people they didn’t like, they also shot straight past the stratosphere. Shrinking into the black void of space, some
of them sounded like this: “It’s your fault. You put your dirty [insert color] feet on my pure [insert another color] soil. And now [insert horribly misrepresented God] is mad.” Another said, “No, no, no. It’s all ‘cause that-there boy likes other boys. You let that-there boy inter’ yer’ church n’ sit in yer’ same church pews, and now [insert horribly misrepresented God] is mad.” One man with an unconvincing British accent said, “Pish posh. You’re all incorrect and I say my vowels differently, so listen to me especially well. God couldn’t do this, for there is no God. Nothing did this and there is nothing you can do about it. Now kindly quit breathing my air, for I appreciate the air better than you.” There were lots of other people with different skin and accents and genitalia shouting themselves right out of the atmosphere. Nobody went to great lengths to recollect any of them. It was about 12:30 A.M. (Eastern time, of course) that folks floating above America realized that Arkansas and Mississippi were almost empty.
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 25)
Someone shouted that Texas was entirely deserted. It turns out that Texas tried to strike out against Sharon (though they didn’t call her by that name) by starting their own colony on the moon. A few scientists tried to warn Texas that there might not be any air up on the moon— although they later admitted to not trying too hard. It turns out there was no air on the moon. At approximately 5:29 p.m. (Eastern) the first attempt to remind Sharon how to spin began. World politicians addressed their constituents about a plan for everyone to grab a tree, a light pole, or a really tall building and kick their legs like a [insert geographically relevant animal that kicks with gusto]. It was fool proof, except that some folks were sure that the world spins clock-wise while others thought it should spin counter-clockwise, and some thought it would be fun to try spinning Sharon in a new direction, but a surprising number of people thought we should just let “this floating business” play out. At the end of the day, the first attempt to remind Sharon how to spin was declared a tragic flop. During the second attempt to remind Sharon how to spin, we humans were smarter. World leaders specified that our bodies should be parallel to the ground with our legs kicking east (along with other detailed specifics and precise maritime calculations). The flaw in their plan, though, was that much of the world had not been given the same education as those making decisions on their behalf, so the decree about x-amount of degrees at a certain bearing left about two thirds of the world’s population out of the loop. Most people just shrugged it off. Though it’s sexy to imagine humanity dying with a big, flashy bang, we were fizzling out with an apathetic, “Meh.” Despite the “Meh”-ers and the –ists, something pleased the cockles of Sharon’s magma-filled heart. Sharon boomed, crackled, and rumbled her guts, resuming her everlasting summersault through the cosmos. Humanity tumbled to the ground, and immediately began congratulating each other. Sharon would never tell that it had nothing to do with the sad departure of the gunmen or gunwomen, nor the –ists, and though the politicians received much thanks, they deserved none of it. No individual changed Sharon’s mind, and Sharon never really meant for any group of people in particular to leave. Sharon had a lot more on her mind than guns or politicians or even Texas. She did, however, like it when people all grabbed on to something and pushed for some common good. Of course, this was just the first time that Sharon stood still.

A TASTE OF SARCASM
NOODLES & COMPANY 5007 S LOUISE AVE, SIOUX FALLS WWW.NOODLES.COM
NOODLES & COMPANY “Carbohydrate is the bad guy. You have to see that.” - Robert Atkins Apparently Robert Atkins was sorely confused (and died of cardiac arrest after withholding from carbohydrates all that time, sigh). Carbs and I have had a relationship for quite some time, and it’s getting very serious. Especially after Noodles & Company opened July 15 in Sioux Falls. Yes, I’m told you should carb up before a lot of activity. I’m hoping moving your fingers on a keyboard counts as said activity since that’s the majority of why I “carb up.” Let me start out by saying that I tried to go to Noodles & Company three different times and there was a line going out the door in the humid summer afternoon. Three times. I finally wised up the fourth time around and pulled up to the food chain (which has more than 300 locations across the nation) 10 minutes before opening at 10:50 a.m. There was a line forming at the flippin’ door. I kid you not. People love their noodles! As we waited in line, a young girl peeked through the window as we all waited in the heat (heat and noodles just sounds disgusting) and said, “Mommy, this is it?” Yes, this place that we’re in line for before it even opens is a chain where you order at a cash register, take a number and eat whatever you ordered from the menu board. That being said, the doors were ::gasp:: unlocked at 11:02
a.m. and we were met by an extremely polite man who apologized for the wait (GIVE ME MY NOODLES!!!) and we all lined up again inside. Here’s the scoop, Sioux Falls peeps. I was very happy with my choice of, well, noodles and was impressed by the selections of sandwiches, salads and soups. Their “globally inspired” cuisine is made just the way you want it right before your very eyes. Wait, I can add or remove whatever I want and not feel guilty or like “that person?” Delightful! Noodle dishes vary from Italian like Pesto Cavatappi to Japanese Pan Noodles to the comfort of Wisconsin Mac & Cheese. I ordered the Mac & Cheese (that’s what everyone kept raving about) and the Pad Thai. On the menu under each item, Noodles & Company recommends a meat to throw in (with the calories the meat adds, which makes you feel more like a fatty, but hey, you’re in a restaurant called Noodles & Company). Did I want meatballs in my Mac & Cheese? Sure, now I do. I ogled at the Steak Stroganoff and Bangkok Curry, which I will have to wait for another day. I was shocked to see sandwiches, and yummy looking ones at that. The Spicy Chicken Caesar, BBQ Pork Sandwich and Veggie Med all look good. Each comes with a side of soup or salad (which the Spinach & Fresh Fruit, Med and Chinese Chop Salad
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 27)
For Your Next Event all looked delicious). Soups include favorites like Tomato Basil Bisque and Chicken Noodle Soup along with Thai Curry Soup. As I got back my change for my purchase, it suddenly dawned on me that I didn’t notice the Signature Dish: the Truffle Mac, otherwise known as “Fancy Pants.” This “little taste of France” has their signature Mac & Cheese sauce spiked with white truffle oil, sautéed baby portabella mushrooms and topped with parmesan cheese and house made toasted breadcrumbs. WHAT?! I’ll need to come back for that. I just might age another year waiting in line... It’s the facts... · Noodles & Company began in 1995 with the concept of “fresh food fast” to redefine casual dining.
4 Banquet rooms
weddings
rehearsal dinners
parties corporate meetings
reunions up to 215 guests
· All dishes are around $8. Also, “because it’s noodles,” tipping is not required. Not sure why that’s an excuse not to tip, but hey. · Each dish is inspired by the individuality, creativity and cultural heritage of cuisine from around the globe. · The chairman and chief executive officer Kevin Reddy started his career as a chef at McDonald’s as a teen. · What some people might be thrown off by is the name. In 2009, the company was named a top family friendly restaurant by Parents magazine and one of America’s healthiest fast-food restaurants by Health magazine. (ATMOSPHERE) It’s what you’re asking for. It’s a chain restaurant for a quick in and out for a catch-up with friends or a stop in between shopping, etc. There is a fountain soda machine and random music playing (I heard “Red Right Hand” from the Scream soundtrack and was overcome with joy). The facility was very clean, which I would hope so since it was days old. The bamboo-surfaced tables are fun, and the menus are displayed on two giant signs so you know exactly what you want by the time you reach the register. (SERVICE) The people there were so nice. So nice, in fact, that I felt like I was at Disney World. Apparently I’m jaded, because the only other people who sound as happy-go-lucky and polite as they do work at the Cliff Avenue Burger King drive-thru (who are you, happy man?!) and at the Starbucks on Minnesota Ave. (who happens to be our cartoonist, Allen Jones. Keep it up, Allen!). I did wait 10-15 minutes for my to-go order and several people got their orders ahead of me who ordered after. First World problems, I know. (TASTE) This may have been different if I had gotten the Truffle Mac! Why, God, why?! It was good. Not great... I wasn’t blown away, but I was satisfied. If you have a noodles craving, it definitely will do the trick. The meatballs made my Mac & Cheese. I’m sure I’ll flock here more in the winter during comfort food season. Try the summer dishes: the Summertime Flatbread and Garden Pesto Salad.

Nonperishable food item donations or cash donations are encouraged to help fight hunger in the state. Most of the food donations stay local in Sioux Falls. Jeff Koller and his band Jukebox Zeroes have been playing music together for years, but it was 13 years ago when Koller decided that they should use their music to give back to the community. The benefit was a success the first year, and Koller thought they had done great by bringing in 400 pounds of food for Feeding South Dakota. Little did they know that 10 years down the line they would be bringing in 15 tons of food. That’s correct, the past three years Jam Against Hunger has Submitted Image.
brought in 30,000 pounds of food each year. The event is the same, but the line-up of bands is different each year. Why change something that isn’t broken? The idea is simple: free music, great bands and an even better cause. Lawn chairs, coolers and children are welcomed at the event. Representatives from Feeding South Dakota will also be there to collect the food and cash donations. Executive director of Feeding South Dakota Matt Gassen knows that events like this are important for the state. “These events are so important because they help raise funds and food that we use to help feed hungry people across South Dakota,” he said. “But also, it helps us bring awareness to our state.” This event will be a full after-
noon of great music from great bands that are playing for nothing. It’s a 100 percent free event for everyone involved and that is what brings Koller back each year. “It’s gotten to the point where I’ve got a system. So many people are willing to donate their time. People are willing, so it falls together,” said Koller. “The fact that all the local bands and businesses come together each year is the best part of organizing this event. They want to do it.” Jam Against Hunger 13 is taking place at the Terrace Park Bandshell on Sunday, Aug. 25 from 1-6 p.m. Featured bands this year are Jukebox Zeroes, Driven, Oryx and Guilty Pleasures Orchestra.

THE
WHITE WALL SESSIONS IMAGES BY JEFF SAMPSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Steve Zastrow
Joey Fokken
NO RULES, JUST CREATION.
T
hat’s what Jeff Zueger, owner/operator of Spectrum Films, Inc. in Sioux Falls, envisioned when he tossed around the idea of inviting local musicians into his studio to record music. Dave Palmer, who is the engineer at Spectrum and is the technical director of the production, brought up the idea to musician Steve Zastrow. “Steve kept hounding Dave about it, who in turn hounded me about it, so we decided to get Steve in for a pilot,” recalled Zueger. The first recording happened May 14 with a simple setup – a white background with two microphones and two cameras recording a couple songs and capturing an interview. It was dubbed The White Wall Sessions. “We had a ton of fun with it and really liked how the format worked and decided while we were set up we would try to get some more artists in,” said Zueger, who describes the footage as a “moment in time” in documentary style. Zastrow obviously enjoyed how the first session went as well. “I was the first musician on The
White Wall Sessions, and I never left,” laughed Zastrow, who now is in charge of artist interviews. After starting a Facebook page to post songs from sessions and gain attention, the segments quickly picked up momentum from viewers and artists. “Within a week and a half we had over 10 acts booked,” said Zueger, who mentioned they now use six cameras and multiple mics. The online videos have had viewership statewide and nationally in major cities like Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles and New York. “Next thing we knew, we had 13 artists in the can and started thinking we could possibly do a TV show,” recalled Zueger. The White Wall Sessions has recently been picked up for 26 episodes by KELO-TV, which will air Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. central starting Sept. 7. Having enough material for the 30-minute show will definitely not be an issue. “The biggest obstacle we’ve had to deal with was my computer and the
amount of drive space,” said Zueger. “We have recorded 16 terabytes of footage so far… we have added a 16 terabyte raid and plan to add another for the second half of the season.” Artist Thomas Hentges recorded a session because of the quality of the product. “It’s very important for musicians these days to have promotional material, and I was impressed by what the guys were doing,” he said. Hentges and other session artists noted that the show gives viewers the chance to see musicians they might not reach otherwise. “People have busy lives, and seeing a singer/songwriter like myself play at a bar/club may not be high on their priority list,” said Hentges. Artist Joey Fokken said he likes that viewers can get insight into the musicians they would never get during a concert. “In addition to great stripped down performances, viewers will have a chance to look through the window of an artist’s creation process,” he said. Those “stripped down moments” include one of Zueger’s favorite moments to date. T. Wilson King, the second performer on the “wall,” started playing an impromptu version of his song “Tick Fever.” “We only had one camera rolling,
which captured the audio,” said Zueger. “Once he started getting into it, we all started rolling, and it wound up being a rocking version that we actually used on the Facebook page.” Intimate, free moments like this tend to come with the white wall territory. “The white wall is an empty canvas,” said Fokken. “It is a starting point for all things art.” The band The Tinder Box was drawn to the sessions by staff’s energy. “From the beginning we could sense the passion of Jeff and his crew,” said guitarist and vocalist Chad Konrad. “It sort of spilled over onto us, having entered [the session] tired from our day jobs.” The band said their session became something within itself. Fokken is proud to be part of the project. “I gained several new friends and the chance to be part of something very cool at the initial stages of its development,” he said. So far the types of genres that have been performed are Americana, bluegrass, blues and folk. Part of this is due to not being able to have drum kits and the like because of the studio’s infrastructure. Zueger says this issue will be visited next season. Hentges thinks the addition of
“It felt like we were in our living room jamming for fun,� said Tinder Box banjo player Dominic Osterloh (L to R: Jon Wallner, Chad Konrad and Osterloh).
“I have always been a fan of the Midnight Special as a kid and more recently Austin City Limits,” said Zueger. “Obviously they are big budget, highly polished shows so I knew I had to do it differently since this is done on a shoestring budget.”
more instruments will be a big improvement for the show. “It would be great to see the program open up to having full bands able to do their thing comfortably, not restricted,” said Hentges. “That would open up the program to having so many other great locals they may have missed this season.” Along with asking artists to “unplug,” any interested entrants are asked to perform five to six original songs. Artists can apply by writing in via The White Wall Sessions Facebook page or on thewhitewallsessions.com. During the airing of the first season, viewers can go to the website for artist interviews, liner notes, photos and more. Zueger’s future plans for the show includes featuring more than just musicians, like poets, photographers and others in the art industry. “I would also like to make The White Wall Sessions a destination for musicians on a regional or even national level,” he said.

N
As the white wall is a more personal experience with an artist, Zueger still stresses and realizes the importance of seeing music live. “Remember, there is no substitute for live music… I recommend them both,” he said. With over a dozen sessions recorded and hours upon hours of raw footage to edit before the first season airs, The White Wall Sessions is gearing up for their debut. Fokken said this show will help pass along the message and love for the arts in the community. “Not everyone has the ability to support the arts in attending shows or making purchases,” said Fokken. “You can show your support by spreading the word and encouraging creation.” He continued, “Grab a paintbrush, guitar, camera, bang some piano keys, or simply tell an artist to keep going. That is how you start something cool.” For more info, find The White Wall Sessions on Facebook or visit thewhitewallsessions.com.

THE SCOOP BY GABRIEL MAMBO
“I’ll take note of the songs I like,” said Heeren of his upcoming role as judge. “If art is good, you usually feel it in your gut. I’ll trust my gut.”
THE DETAILS: WHERE TO SEND ENTRIES: songwriters@thedahl.org, MP3 format WHEN: September 16 | 5 p.m. central HOW MUCH: $10 per entry
SONGWRITING CONTEST The musically talented of South Dakota can express themselves by participating in the 2nd Annual Americana Music Festival Songwriting competition. Musicians and songwriters from around the state are given a chance to craft and create a song with local flavor. “It is a competition where we encourage people from South Dakota to write a song about South Dakota,” said Pepper Massey, executive director of the Rapid City Arts Council. Songs submitted to the competition need to be under five minutes and supplied in an MP3 format. The content has to be G-Rated and original. A blind judging process will then be used to determine whose song is best. The winner gets a recording session and some exposure of their work on the radio. The winner will also be able to perform their song at the Americana Music Festival in Rapid City on Nov. 2. They will serve as an opening act to the festival’s headliner. “We need to value the arts,” said Massey. “And we

need to value the creative talents, and those artists need to be nurtured so that they can go on to have successful and creative careers.” The idea of the songwriting competition was brought up by Cory Tomovik, a member of Rapid City’s Performing Arts committee. After further development and a review by the committee, it became official. During the competition’s first year,the contest’s entries were scarce leading up to the final week. On the day of the deadline, though, the number of entries grew significantly. “We had 20 songs in total,” said Emma Rivers, who serves as the Art Council’s marketing coordinator. After going through what was described as a diverse

range of musical pieces, a winner was determined. That winner ended up being Ted Heeren, an ad firm partner in Sioux Falls. Heeren wrote “Sweet Home South Dakota” and “Yes You Corn,” which were the top two pieces in the competition. “I was surprised and excited,” said Heeren. “I think they e-mailed me the news.” “Sweet Home South Dakota” was described as witty and capable of making people laugh. The song referenced multiple communities throughout South Dakota. “It was a clever little song,” said Massey. In addition to the reward of airplay and a recording session, Heeren also had an interview with South Dakota Public Broadcasting’s “On Record” radio broadcast. He joked that his ego had at least “doubled in size.” “I always feel like I’m telling the truth when I sing [my songs],” said Heeran. “It’s nice to know that the judges enjoyed them.” Heeren is one of three judges for the 2013 competition. Tomovik and local artist Ryan Kickland are the other two members of the panel that will decide this year’s winner. “I’ll take note of the songs I like,” said Heeren of his upcoming role as judge. “If art is good, you usually feel it in your gut. I’ll trust my gut.” Massey remembers the success of last year’s competition and said that she expects the turnout to be even better this year. Rivers also expressed satisfaction with the first competition. “We really had nothing to go on,” said Rivers. “So it was really exciting to get to 20 [songs].” For future competitions, Massey would like to see younger artists become involved in the process. “It’s important to keep the event diverse,” said Massey. “And...in order to do that, we need some people under a certain age.” The deadline for the songwriting competition is Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. central.

THE REAL DEAL BY KINSEY GUSTAFSON
The Sioux Falls Design Center fills a void in our community, celebrating all types of design.
SIOUX FALLS DESIGN CENTER Do you consider design? The Sioux Falls Design Center (SFDC) most certainly does. The center that celebrates advanced ideas and all things design is continuously holding events to educate and enlighten people who have an interest in local and national topics like photography, architecture, graphic design and more. We chatted with Sarah Miller of the SFDC to check out what’s new at their location in downtown Sioux Falls. What do you think the SFDC brings to the community? The Sioux Falls Design Center fills a void in our community, celebrating all types of design. We are the one place in Sioux Falls where architects, interior designers, graphic designers, engineers, landscape architects, artists, teachers, business leaders, etc. are encouraged to share their thoughts to make our community a better place. What is a Design Picnic? It is a lunchtime event where the community can learn about local projects, chime in on anything design related and get out of the everyday hum-drum of work. What kind of speakers have there been and who has been your favorite thus far? We have had a wide variety of presenters, which has kept the content fresh and interesting. We have had Jon Jacobson from Confluence speak about the River Greenway/East Bank Redevelopment project, Keith Thompson from Koch Hazard Architects give us a project update on the Denny Sanford PREMIER Events Center and Top Chef: Submitted Images.
Just Desserts winner Chris Hanmer of C.H. Patisserie speak about the design of food. Each presentation has been thoughtfully crafted and carried out. However, if Chef Chris would have brought some desserts with him, I think there would have been a clear favorite. How was PechaKucha Night brought to Sioux Falls, and who brought the event to the SFDC? Organizers of the SFDC thought it would be a great way to start conversations about design. There can only be one PKN city organizer, and it seemed like a good fit for the mission. So we signed on as the city organizer for Sioux Falls and encourage the presenters to speak about their latest creation, passion or experience in terms of design. What businesses and ideas have been present so far at PechaKucha Night? To name a few: Brian Rotert of Cipher Imaging spoke on what people don’t see once Photoshop has done its job; Collin Hover, web developer and Professor at the University of South Dakota, spoke on a project he and his students created for NASA, and Carla White from Happy Tapper spoke on how to create iPhone apps on a meager budget. What do you look for in picking presenters? Presenters can be from all walks of life, young and old, and talk about a wide range of subjects. As our mission is centered around design, we encourage speakers to address
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 45)
their subject from the design point of view. We are designing our surroundings and our lives every day no matter who we are or what we do – we design our outfits every morning, our meals when we grocery shop, our table when we place a vase of flowers on it, our gardens when we plant the seeds…. Design is being thoughtful about our preferences, how they fit together and how they interact with other people’s preferences. Why is this method of presenting effective? PKN is known as ‘the art of concise presentations.’ The format has everything to do with its effectiveness: 20x20. Each presenter has 20 slides and can speak on each slide for no more than 20 seconds. Whether the presenter is ready to move on to the next slide doesn’t matter, because as the slides are timed they will progress, ready or not! However, presenters know this ahead of time and that forces them to be concise (hopefully in an effective manner!). PechaKucha Night Vol. 6 will be held Aug. 2 with MC Rick Knobe from KSOO and five presenters. Networking starts at 6:30 p.m. with free food and drinks, and lectures begin at 7 p.m. This month’s Design Center Picnic will be Aug. 14 at noon with 605 Magazine and Dainty Obsessions presenting. Bring your own lunch, or for $4 enjoy a meal from a local business like Taste of the Big Apple, Mamas Ladas or Kaladis. For more info, visit www.siouxfallsdesigncenter.org.

MOMMY MIND TRIP by susan kroger-Peters
She is a busy mom of two children and highly suggests that you don’t follow her parenting practices.
bio: Susan has worked with new parents and babies for several years. She has a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Northern Iowa. She likes punk music, eating food that other people cook, and making her husband and two kids laugh with her silly antics. You can find her at her blog at www.mommymindtrip. com (Fair warning: The blog is often profane and can be offensive to readers without a sense of humor) and on Twitter @susancpeters.
LET’S GET REAL I was listening to an old song tonight, one of my favorites. At one point during the song, the singer sweetly croons, “It’s time to tell the truth.” I’m often afraid of the truth. Truth means transparency, and transparency means vulnerability. As I observe the world, I’m aware that I’m not the only person afraid of being vulnerable. Truth in parenting is especially difficult. If I was honest about my parenting plights, I might be kicked out of the exclusive (and imaginary) parenting club. What if I openly shared my struggles as a mother with others? What if we all shared our struggles as parents? What if I said that sometimes it’s a relief to go to work because there aren’t toddler hands pawing at me all day? What if I said that I’ve been reduced to tears more than once by an obstinate three year old who vehemently refuses to go to sleep? What if I said that I’ve never felt so inept at anything as I do at parenting? I recall few times in my life when I’ve stared my own inadequacies in the face on a regular basis. It’s not an easy or desirable task. I’ve spoken to dozens of mothers and

fathers on both a platonic and professional level over the years, and the need to qualify any honest statement referencing parenting is omnipresent. “I love my kids to death, but...” “You know I wouldn’t trade them for anything, however...” “Being a parent is the best thing that ever happened to me. That being said...” The thing is, parenting really sucks sometimes. It’s incredibly hard on a number of levels. Physical, emotional and psychological challenges abound, and if you’re not experiencing personal growth as a parent, I’d wager that you slept through your kids’ childhood. Why do we need to qualify these statements? Why can’t we just say it: this is really, really hard. Sometimes, parenting is just downright intolerable. Here’s what a conversation would look like between two mothers being completely real with one another: Linda: Would you like some iced tea? I just made a fresh batch. It’s not often we moms get to see one another without the children present. Janet: Got any booze? Linda: (sigh) Oh, I’m so glad you said that. Want a double?
Janet: Did you have to ask? Linda: Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve had a drink AND no children pulling on my pant leg? Janet: If you’re anything like me, way too long. Today, Jimmy picked his nose and wiped in it my hand. In my fricking hand, Linda. Kids are so gross. Linda: Try having a teenager. Disgusting creatures PLUS they never shut up, and most of what they say makes no sense. Today, Craig told me he wants to join the Peace Corps when he graduates from high school. Are you kidding me? Where did I go wrong here? Janet: Who knows? I’ll be lucky if my kids make it to the age of 10 without some sort of severe mental disturbance brought on by my constant yelling at them. Linda: I hear you. Anyway, enough kid talk. Wanna watch this documentary I queued on Netflix? Janet: Cheers. Now these are my kind of people. Moral of the story: being real helps. It helps the person talking feel understood, and it often reassures the listener. We’re all doing the best we can.

3.)
There is a person who obviously hates me in the business community and runs in the same professional circles as me. I have heard that they talk about me behind my back, and every time I see them I just try to kill them with kindness. It’s always so awkward, though. What should I do?
Guys are always so hard to shop for. Tell me your gift list!
My boyfriend thinks we spend too much time with my family. He constantly makes comments of things that annoy him, but if I ever say anything about his family they’re ‘saints’ because we’re never around them. Is this fair?

my chosen profession. Sure, standing on Minnesota Avenue all day long wearing an oversized costume and holding a sign advertising chicken wings is hard work. But you know what, it’s rewarding. And thanks to that costume, not a single soul in the professional community recognizes me.
for the past 25 years: a pizza party, a pair of underwear that I can wear over my pants to make me look like a superhero, and a free pass to be as messy as I want to be. And no matter how clear I make this to everyone, I never get a single item.

established a deal early on in our relationship. We split family time 50/50. We crash one week at my parents’, which is super cool because they always have a ton of pizza and let us stay up as late as we want. Then we spend the next week at her parents’ which is also super cool because they have a huge TV and a bunch of ice cream. Works pretty well.
very fast. Have you tried arsenic? Wait, don’t do that, just keep up the kindness thing and let them dig their own hole. The Midwest business owners I know are too closely knit to let that kind of stuff go on for too long without blowback. But, if the kindness and arsenic don’t work, I’ve seen enough Dateline to suggest a crossbow or another elaborate setup. They never fail.
JW: Beer, cigars and gift cards to a strip club are always nice. can win us over with food, any clothes we need (or didn’t know we needed), the latest technology, or a six pack of our favorite beer. Honestly, one of my favorite gifts is when a friend just takes me out for a drink. Getting together with people you care about is all that really matters (cue ‘awwww!’).
JT: Just keep doing what you’re doing. Being nice and professional is never the wrong answer, and if they continue to talk badly about you they will only look immature and unprofessional to colleagues. It will only hurt their reputation in the end. Illustration by Chuck Bennis DISCLAIMER: Ask the Johns is a sarcastic piece. Their advice is not meant to be taken literally… except maybe John T’s.
JW: Maybe your family is crazy and his is perfect? That is probably what’s going on.
JT: It probably is only because he feels really comfortable with your family since you spend so much time together. Does that make it fair? No. I would have a conversation that unless it is something really important, talking poorly about family is off limits. Will there be a slip up? Probably from time to time, but do your best to respect your families to each other.

A unique twist to the race is the glow-in-the-dark after party beer garden.
SIOUX GLOW Usually when there is a 5K, it is at the crack of dawn. Not this time. The first annual Sioux Glow Run will take place in downtown Sioux Falls on August 24 starting at 9 p.m. The 5K consists of 3.1 miles filled with black light zones, glow stations and runners dressed in their best glow gear. The Glow Run will also feature DJs throughout the course. A unique twist to the race is the glow-in-the-dark after party beer garden. Runners/walkers who participate in the Glow Run will be granted free access to the after party, and for non-runners there is a small fee into the beer garden. The after party, as well as the start and finish line, will take place in Falls Park with a performance by IV and mixing by DJ Royski. Abdul Mohammed and other members of the team heading the Glow Run are sure that runners and their friends or family will enjoy a completely unique run and party. “Not only will there be after party, but there will be entertainment before the run as well with food, a live band, a glowing outdoor venue, a DJ, dancers, a beer garden, and vendors. This is a party worth attending, whether you’re running or not,” said Mohammed. “And anyone can join in the pre and

post run activities without paying a cover charge!” Dancers aligning the run include Ryan Rosinski from MTV’s So You Think You Can Dance. The Glow Run team was excited to bring a new type of 5k to Sioux Falls and to blend the run and the party together throughout the whole race. The team traveled to other cities to participate in glow runs and firmly believed that South Dakota would embrace a similar event. “Seeing the response from the Sioux Falls community has made it clear that we were correct,” explained Mohammed. Mariah Kuhlmann, an avid runner, was curious and intrigued by the idea of a Glow Run in Sioux Falls. “I have participated in multiple 5Ks before, but never a glow-in-the dark one,” said Kuhlmann. “It’ll be really fun to run in and my boyfriend and friends will meet me at the finish line…with a beer garden!” Participants will receive a glow-in-the-dark Sioux Glow shirt, glow-in-the-dark bracelets and runners/walkers over 21 will receive their first beer free. Registration for the run is online, just visit sioux-glow.com.

HEALTH PROFILE
Name: Isaac Haan Age: 23 Hometown: Lennox, S.D.
ISAAC’S SAMPLE MENU: Haan is really into veggies, so he tries to keep that as the main course of the meal and attempts to limit the meat and dairy portions as much as possible.
BREAKFAST: Bananas and whole grain bagel LUNCH: Tuna wrap, fruit salad, iced tea DINNER: Tofu burgers, grilled tomato slices SNACK: Haan is obsessed with squeezable pouches of applesauce or mashed fruit. “People think I am eating baby food, but who cares,” said Haan. “They are so good!”
ISAAC HAAN Health is important for everyone, but what if it depended on potentially saving someone’s life? Isaac Haan has been a lifeguard at Wild Water West for seven years and makes sure to keep up every summer with his diet, workout regimen and skin care. Wild Water West is a good place to be, since it’s the sixth consecutive year that the international aquatic safety-consulting firm of Ellis and Associates Inc. has awarded its “Platinum” National Aquatic Safety Award to the Sioux Falls waterpark. Haan gave us a look into his lifestyle.
Have you ever had a moment where you needed to help someone in danger? I’ve had to make rescues for guests who were struggling in the water. I’m fortunate to have never had to perform CPR on a guest yet.
Why is staying fit and healthy important when being a lifeguard? Being fit and healthy is what gives you energy for the day. You need to be energized and focused when guarding.
How often do you work out? What is a typical work out for you? Forty-five minutes a day/six days a week. It’s actually my part time job. I instruct water aerobic classes and Zumba classes at Family Wellness.
Submitted Image.
605MAGAZINE.COM (page 63)
What are your favorite and least favorite workouts? I love anything cardio. Running is such a spirit-lifting workout. I don’t enjoy lifting weights. I get way too bored. How do you keep things interesting with your work out so you don’t get bored? I have great music to listen to. I strongly encourage group exercise fitness classes at your local gym. You’ll make friends who will make you feel guilty for not coming. What is your favorite healthy food/meal? Least favorite? I love berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries). I hate eggplant and celery (unless smothered in ranch). Sushi (from Sushi Masa) is my favorite meal. Mexican food, not so much! What is your go-to cheat meal? Chicken strips and french fries from Wild Water West. How do you prevent from being overheated in the summer when lifeguarding? Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate with water! Stay away from soda and grab some coconut water. It contains so many electrolytes without the added sugar of sports drinks. What are your top tips for being a good lifeguard? Be vigilant, be professional, stay hydrated and enjoy what you do! What do people need to be aware of when being active outdoors in the summer? Sunscreen and water are the true elements of life when outside. Enjoy the warm sun, but be safe about it!
