news@dailylobo.com

A 20-year-old UNM art and psychology double major died early Saturday morning on I-40 in a hitand-run.

According to an article published in Wednesday’s Albuquerque Journal, Jennifer Bobrick was driving to a friend’s house when she crashed her SUV into a boulder by a frontage road. In the Journal article, Bernalillo County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Aaron Williamson said Bobrick left her car after crashing and made her way onto the highway in a disoriented manner, where an unidentified driver struck and killed her.

Williamson said the unidentified driver’s vehicle would have general front-end damage as well as a broken amber headlight.

The Daily Lobo could not reach Bobrick’s parents or brother for comment. They created a web page dedicated to her memory, forevermissed.com/jenniferbobrick, which features photos, stories and poems about Bobrick, courtesy of her family and friends.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

UNM whomps SDSU 70-60

By J.R. Oppenheim

assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim The No. 14 New Mexico men fared much better the second time around against San Diego State than during their previous matchup, capturing a 70-60 victory over the Aztecs Wednesday night at The Pit. When the teams battled Jan. 26, SDSU thrashed UNM 55-34 and held it to a 25 percent field goal mark, one of the lowest in the team’s recorded history. The Lobos responded Saturday by hitting 47.7 percent from the field. They made 12 shots in 20 attempts in the second half, a 60 percent mark.

UNM improved to 24-4 overall this season and 11-2 in Mountain West Conference play.

“When you get pressured, you have to be able to drive the ball. If you can’t drive it, you get chewed up. That’s what happened to us in Game 1,” UNM head coach Steve Alford said. “(On Wednesday) we did a much better job driving it, and that opened things up offensively.”

UNM sophomore center Alex Kirk scored a season-high 25 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Junior forward Cameron Bairstow added 16 points and junior guard Tony Snell had 10.

Coming off his 46-point effort against Colorado State last Saturday, junior Kendall Williams scored only eight points but provided eight assists. No other player on either team made more than three assists Wednesday night.

After postponing its vote last semester, the SUB Board decided Wednesday to let Chick-fil-A retain its spot in the SUB. Eight board members voted to keep the controversial restaurant while three voted to replace Chick-fil-A with another restaurant.

Rebecca Vanucci, a GPSA representative to the SUB Board and its president, said the board was supposed to vote on the issue in October, but postponed it until this semester to better assess student reaction to Chick-fil-A. She said she was overwhelmed by the amount of student participation in the survey.

“In my four years on the SUB Board, this has never happened,” she said. “We’re talking about an issue, and we’re getting taped, and we’re getting a lot of audience.”

In June and July of last year, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy made several public comments against same-sex marriage, saying that those who “have the audacity to define what marriage is about” were “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.” Several media outlets reported that the restaurant, with branches in 38 states in the U.S., has donated millions to anti-gay marriage groups such as the Family Research Council. On July 31, 2012, Chick-fil-A issued a statement saying it was leaving the debate over same-sex marriage to politicians.

On Wednesday, the ASUNM Senate voted 15-3 in favor of a resolution that urged the University to replace Chick-fil-A. The student government passed the resolution after conducting a survey last month. The results showed that 85 percent of those surveyed were in favor of keeping Chick-fil-A on campus, while 15 percent were in favor of kicking it out.

The SUB Board did a similar survey in cooperation with ASUNM and GPSA that ran from Jan. 28 to Feb. 11. According to a presentation by the SUB Board, 3,755 respondents composed of undergraduates, graduates and faculty members participated in the survey. Results indicated that 44 percent of respondents said Chick-fil-A’s principles are positive overall, while 41 percent said they are negative overall.

Vanucci, who voted to kick out Chick-fil-A, said she was disappointed about the results of the vote. She said that because students who complained to the board about the restaurant

during recent months, the issue surrounding Chick-fil-A is a safety and a moral issue.

“My main concern as SUB Board president is to keep the SUB as safe and accessible for everyone,” she said. “No matter how many people say, ‘just don’t buy the chicken,’ if someone told me that they feel unsafe … I should respect that feeling.”

SUB Board members Debbie Morris and Priscila Poliana voted alongside Vanucci to remove Chick-fil-A from the SUB. Associate Vice President for Student Life Walter Miller, who voted to keep Chick-fil-A, said the issue about Chick-fil-A is not an issue of campus safety, although the resolution released by ASUNM last week frames it otherwise. He said that if the University recognizes a safety problem with Chick-fil-A, it will address it immediately.

“Nobody is in imminent danger in this campus because of chicken.” ~Steven Ybarra UNM student “Since the resolution came out, we really tried to validate some of the ideas,” he said. “If safety issues have ever been the case, then that should be dealt with by the administration ASAP. We pride ourselves on being able to have people voice their opinions and to work in the same environment, and so we want that challenge to be addressed.”

Miller said that although the results of a University survey conducted by the SUB Board were broad, the results are still representative of the University community.

According to the presentation, 14 percent of the SUB’s restaurant revenues come from Chick-fil-A, which is the fourth largest revenue among all SUB restaurants.

Also according to the presentation, replacing Chick-fil-A would have cost the SUB at least $175,000. Miller said funds would have come from student fees and SUB revenues, as the SUB cannot ask for funding from the Legislature or from UNM’s repair fund.

UNM student Steven Ybarra said the board made the right decision to keep Chick-fil-A. He said the restaurant does not threaten the safety of LGBTQ students. He said that because 85 percent of students want to keep Chick-fil-A on campus, according to a recent ASUNM survey, the decision was

to fight spring allergies

Sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose … sound familiar? Yes, allergy season is here. Allergies can ruin a beautiful day and sometimes seriously affect your life. They won’t always lead to asthma or be dangerous, but they can still be frustrating. Every year, nearly 40 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies and related conditions. As the weather warms up and the trees begin budding, pollen starts filling the air and you might find yourself with red, itchy eyes, stuffed nose and even some breathing difficulties.

Here are some tips from webmd.com that can help you survive this seasonal nuisance:

tip 1 tip 2 tip 3

Start treating allergies early. Pollen starts filling the air as soon as the weather gets warmer, which means you should start taking medications to control seasonal allergies around mid-February, because most allergens start filling the air in March.

Avoid the outdoors and open windows, especially on dry, breezy days. Pollen is spread very easily with the wind. Rainy days are a relief, as the water washes away the allergens. Thus, if you find yourself spending time outdoors, always remember to take a shower afterward to get rid of the pollen.

tip 4 tip 5 tip 6 tip 7

If your runny nose is bothering you too much, try using a neti pot. It might not be the most comfortable or convenient solution, but warm water with a pinch of salt can be more effective than you think.

When “natural” options fail, try using over-the-counter medications that reduce allergy symptoms. Other available medications include antihistamines, topical nasal sprays and decongestants, the last of which should be taken on a short-term basis only. You can also ask your doctor for a prescription nasal spray and antihistamine eye drops which might bring some relief.

Another helpful tip is to consume a lot of vegetables that combat allergens, such as broccoli, citrus fruits, collard greens, onions, garlic, parsley and elderberries.

Clean your air filters often and don’t forget about getting rid of dust on your bookshelves, vents and other places where pollen can collect.

Drink a lot of water. It will definitely help in cleansing and hydrating your body.

Sonic to leave SUB during summer

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com

Sonic won’t be in the SUB after the end of the semester.

In the SUB Board meeting Wednesday afternoon, Associate Vice President for Student Life Walter Miller said the board has already received confirmation from the owner of the restaurant.

“We did receive notice this past week that Sonic is going to be leaving the institution this summer,” he said. “So that is another responsibility that we will come back to deciding.”

Miller said the board plans to replace Sonic with another restaurant by the fall. He said that by summer, the board will identify how much the replacement process will cost.

Miller said the SUB expects to begin construction as soon as

Correction In Tuesday’s paper, Felipe Acosta was incorrectly referred to as the vice chair of International Business Students Global. Acosta is the president of IBSG. The error was made in editing.

specific costs are identified. He said he expects Sonic’s spot in the SUB to be closed all summer.

“We’re trying to stretch it out at least through the academic year, and then we’ll get to construction soon after we get everything done,” he said.

According to the board’s presentation at the meeting, a SUB Board survey identified Sonic as the third-most popular restaurant in the SUB, following Saggio’s and Satellite.

On Wednesday afternoon, the SUB posted a poll to its Facebook page asking students which restaurant they prefer to replace Sonic. As of Wednesday evening, Blake’s Lotaburger is leading in the poll, followed by Chipotle and Dion’s.

Miller said the board will discuss prospective replacements for Sonic at its next meeting next month.

good for the majority of the University community.

“If they feel unsafe, it’s because … they created a symbol of oppression that they feel they need to protect themselves from,” he said. “Nobody is in imminent danger in this campus because of chicken. The majority of students do want to keep Chick-fil-A here on campus.”

Undergraduate student Tamekia Sanford said she agrees with the board’s decision. She said Chick-fil-A should have freedom of speech and that students should have the right to choose the food that they want on campus.

She said students who don’t support Chick-fil-A MARCH 16, 2011should simply not buy food from the restaurant.

“If you’re against Chick-fil-A why would you buy the food?” she said. “It’s like saying I’m for Victoria Secret, but Victoria Secret does not have anything for big girls in there. So when I’m in the mall, I pass Victoria Secret.”

But UNM Social Justice League head Amy Vesper said she was disappointed with the vote. She said the board seemed to be against Chick-fil-A when her organization met with board members before

the vote, and that the members voted that way because the vote was done in public.

“The SUB committee felt like their job could be on the line if they voted for Chick-fil-A to get kicked out of campus because it’s such a touchy issue,” she said. “Before this vote, the board seemed to be in favor of following through the University’s business policy regarding sexual orientation.”

Vesper said Chick-fil-A poses a huge threat to student safety on campus, as students who want to get Chick-fil-A out of UNM have received threats from the opposing side.

“There’s an employee in the LGBT Resource Center who has received a threat on their desk regarding Chick-fil-A being removed off of campus,” she said.

“Also, the senator who sponsored this resolution has been receiving threats. One of the threats told her to not walk alone.”

Vanucci said because of the vote, there will be no changes to Chick-fil-A’s contract with Chartwells and UNM. She said the board is set to discuss the results of the vote in their next meeting next month.

GOP obstructionism is a ploy to smear Dems Editor, I think it’s funny to see time and time again Republicans trying to shift the blame for their failures to Democrats. The Democratic Senate hasn’t passed a budget? Ha. It’s been the GOP-run House that has refused to compromise on anything the Senate or the president has put forward.

It’s been the goal of the GOP, especially the incredibly stupid and corrupt Tea Party, to not let anything good happen for this country while Obama is in office. They want to convince the stupid and ignorant people of the country that Democrats are bad, and to blindly vote for Republicans, regardless of whether their policies will only make the rich richer and the poor even worse off.

It’s the scare tactic they’ve been pulling since the 1950s, only repackaged. It’s no longer “Vote Republican, ‘cause if you vote Democrat, the commies will take over.”

Now it’s “Vote Republican, ‘cause if you vote Democrat, they’ll steal all your money.”

Typical GOP fearmongering.

Caedmon Holland UNM student

Homophobes are the new Jews, apparently Editor’s note: This is in response to the article “ASUNM votes to evict mor chikin,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo. The article was about ASUNM’s vote to recommend kicking Chick-fil-A out of the SUB. ASUNM conducted a student survey about the restaurant, and 85 percent of students surveyed said they wanted Chick-fil-A to stay. On Wednesday, the SUB Board voted 8-3 to keep the restaurant in the SUB. Editor, The Student Senate voted to ban “Chickfil-A” from the SUB because it wants to make the campus more friendly for gays? In April of 1933, anti-Semitic Nazi Germany began a boycott of Jewish businesses, which eventually led to the “Final Solution.” What’s next?

Banning all religious groups, so that the atheists can feel comfortable? Where is the diversity in learning to live together?

Column

Catholic clergy shelter evil, sow misery Church’s crimes range from exploitation to molestation

by Peter Kindilien

Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com This subject isn’t exactly popular, but when children are endangered and adults are to blame, the abusive adults should be brought to justice for what they have done.

If a cult in your neighborhood abducted your kids and did bad things to them, we’d want to disband the cult, lock their leaders up and throw away the key.

Sinéad O’Connor, an Irish pop and folk musician, appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1992 and tore up a picture of the pope, whom she called “the real enemy.”

Her young, promising career was pretty much sunk from that point on because the U.S. press and public crucified her, so to speak.

Now she’s revealed that when she was 15, she was tossed in prison for petty theft and forced to work as a slave laborer for several years, until her father was finally able to procure her release. For most of the last century, the Roman Catholic Church ran laundries and sweatshops where women were used as a free workforce, and where abuse and mistreatment were rampant.

Single mothers, many of them victims of domestic, prison or workplace assault, had their babies taken from them and sent to orphanages or the church adoption agency — for a healthy handling fee, of course. The church ordained that out-ofwedlock pregnancy was always the woman’s fault and, in complicity with the state, operated a lucrative human-trafficking ring that stretched around the world.

Birth certificates were routinely forged or destroyed, and mothers and children who have tried to contact each other through the church have been stonewalled with a steady and consistent dose of refusal and obfuscation. Curiously,

most of the records regarding these events were conveniently destroyed in separate fires all around Ireland. This, of course, defines the modus operandi of the Roman Catholic Church whenever it is covered in shame and blame.

A monsignor from a Connecticut diocese has just been indicted on charges slightly less repulsive than child abuse, but a bit shocking nonetheless: He was reportedly running a crystal meth business out of his church.

So here we go again with the same old lies from the Vatican. The parishioners will have to pay if they’re to keep the law at bay. We see it in the news every week — child molesters harbored by the church, moved around in the cloistered secrecy of a shell game to hide the guilty and absolve the church of responsibility in these most lurid of affairs, allowing them to victimize new communities. A conspiracy of stealth and perversity.

I was one of those born in a prison of despair run by evil that didn’t care...

Condoms, AIDS, birth control — the church insists on its role in dictating morality to society. But it seems to be losing that part by turning denial into art. The church’s opposition to abortion is rather out of proportion when we consider that it deems exploitation of the weakest members of communities perfectly acceptable.

A cult with a smaller membership would not be permitted to protect so many pedophiles among its leaders. We should see through the church’s Dark-Age mentality and condemn the sexually perverted clergy, who have long plagued humanity. We should condemn this institution which drips in hypocrisy as it uses every lie to defend itself. Counting the thousands of families and people the church single-handedly destroyed and crushed, it is mind-boggling that it has the gall to

preach to us about social harmony and justice.

There’s a movie called “The Shoes of the Fisherman” about a pontiff who sold off all the church’s wealth to buy food for starving peasants and hence prevent global war. The setup for a similar situation can be seen in current events involving North Korea’s litany of threats against the U.S. and other nations as it obsessively expands its nuclear arsenal — all while its economy collapses. But don’t expect to see the land and gold that was reaped from the sweat of parishioners’ backs being relinquished any time soon.

So child abusers are protected, and if there’s one sure way to stifle hope, it’s with misery decreed by the pope. When you read about the latest cover-up coming out, don’t be misled by the church’s lies — just look deep into the clergy’s eyes.

You may wonder what I know. Well, I’ll tell you. I was one of those born in a prison of despair run by evil that didn’t care and sent off to people who didn’t even know me. I’ve had enough experience with their kind to know that when authority speaks of love but then steals and assaults children, there’s a name for it: evil.

It is up to us to condemn the church’s inappropriate behavior, its disregard for the meek and its legacy of hate and sleaze.

People are going to have faith in whatever they come to choose, but when churches run the state, everyone will always lose.

I tell you that it’s a curse, this knocking people to their knees and pushing them down into the dirt. It was pure insanity, their obsession with my profanity, while I was being slapped and beaten across my back, just for all the luck I lacked.

No, it’s not much fun to live with violence when you’re young, forced to suffer in silence and always told to hold your tongue. It makes us cross-eyed and numb, withdrawn in shock, used to keeping feelings under lock. But the ghosts that haunt us and the psychic scars from being told no one wants us are always there, waiting to pounce down upon us in the darkness of our solitude.

Iranians polarized by ‘Argo’

by Nasser Karimi

The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian officials on Monday dismissed the Oscarwinning film “Argo� as pro-CIA, anti-Iran propaganda, but some young, moderate Iranians welcomed it as a fresh view of recent history.

The movie, based on the escape of six American hostages from the besieged U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, has not been screened in any Iranian theaters.

But many Iranians have seen it nevertheless. In downtown Tehran, bootleg DVDs of “Argo� sell for about 30,000 rials, or less than $1.

The movie has set off a spirited debate that exposed a generational divide.

Iranians who took part in the 1979 Islamic Revolution picked apart the portrayals of Tehran at the time. But those too young to recall the events had a different view. “I want to know what the other side is saying,� said Shieda, a 21-yearold University of Tehran student, who gave only her first name for fear of a possible backlash for speaking with foreign media.

Tehran City Council member Masoomeh Ebtekar — who was one of the students who occupied the U.S.

Embassy and acted as the spokeswoman for the captors — says the film exaggerates the violence among crowds that stormed the compound in November 1979.

Fifty-two Americans were held hostage for 444 days, but a handful of embassy staff were sheltered by the Canadian ambassador. Their escape, using a fake movie as a cover story, is recounted in “Argo.�

Ebtekar insists the hostagetakers were mostly students. But other accounts suggest militants and members of the country’s powerful Revolutionary Guard were involved.

Iranian Culture Minister Mohammad Hosseini criticized the film. “The movie is an anti-Iran film. It is not a valuable film from the artistic point of view. It won the prize by resorting to extended advertisement and investment,� he said, according to the official IRNA news agency.

He said Hollywood has “distorted history� as part of what Iranian officials call a “soft war.�

Iran’s state TV called the movie “an advertisement for the CIA.�

The semiofficial Mehr news agency called the Oscar “politically motivated� because first lady Michelle Obama at the White House joined Jack Nicholson via video link to Los

Angeles to help present the best picture prize.

In contrast, retired teacher Reza Abbasi who saw the Revolution first hand, said the film was realistic. “I know Hollywood usually changes reality to make it attractive for movie lovers, but more or less it was close to the realities then.�

Others said “Argo� shows the need for Iranian filmmakers to deal more with issues from the Revolution.

The moderate Hamshahri newspaper said the movie “targeted the culture and civilization of Iran,� but it is worthwhile for Iranians to see a different perspective of the events that led to the collapse of relations between the U.S. and Iran. “Iranian audiences are seeing a new version of the events for the first time,� said a commentary in the newspaper. “This has been a weak point for our TV and cinema industry, which has not produced anything about the (U.S. Embassy takeover) after more than three decades.�

Behnam Farahani, 28, a student in Tehran Art University, said he thought competing films “Django� and “Lincoln� were better than “Argo� in terms of structure and theme. “They deserved more attention.

Iran’s state TV dismissed the Oscar-winning film “Argo,� which is set during the hostage crisis, as an “advertisement for the CIA. a narration of a political event.�

Mohammad Amin Sharifi, a movie fan in Tehran, was less harsh. “In my opinion, it’s a nice movie from technical aspects, and it was on the scale of Hollywood movies. But I don’t think it was worth a nomination for Oscar and other awards,� he said.

Iran’s state-run film industry boycotted this year’s Oscars in the wake of an Internet video clip made in the U.S. denigrating the Prophet Muhammad that set off protests across

the Muslim world.

The affair was not related to “Argo.�

Last year, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won the Oscar for best foreign film for “A Separation,� Iran’s first Oscar.

A month before it won, Iranian authorities ordered the closure of the House of Cinema, an independent film group that operated for 20 years and counted Iran’s top filmmakers, including Farhadi, among its members.

hil Safier had been floating for two hours in about 800 pounds of Epsom salt and a foot of water in a soundproof, lightproof deprivation tank when he suddenly remembered he had to make a bank payment.

“It was close to 5 o’clock, so I jumped out of the tank and jumped into my car. I was driving down Central to go to Wells Fargo, and all of a sudden I realized I was not fast enough to be driving a car,” Safier said. “I had to go, ‘Whoa, dude, you’re not a good driver right now.’

I dropped out of one completely quiet, slow environment into this fast-paced world that we live in and it was shocking.”

Safier now does weekly floating sessions at Enlighten Others in Nob Hill, a spa-style business created by 27-year-old Kenneth Pintor.

Floating is a physically relaxing and meditative activity in which subjects lie naked in a room-temperature

mixture of Epsom salt and water inside a deprivation tank. The tank, which is soundproof and lightproof, is meant to block out all sensory experience.

Pintor said that because the water, air and the person’s skin are all the same temperature, the floating person will often feel like he or she is dissolving.

“It almost tricks your body into not knowing where your skin begins, where the water begins and where the air begins. It all feels like one,” Pintor said. “It feels like you’re suspended up in the air with just nothing around you; it feels like you’re floating in pure nothingness.”

Pintor said a variety of people use the deprivation tank, from college students to retired professionals to people with chronic pain.

Pintor said he floats every three or four days and the most common use of floating is stress relief.

“When you’re stressed out —

you’re thinking about your midterms, you’re thinking about your job — your mind is constantly pulled away from you. You’re almost giving yourself to this piece of stress,” Pintor said. “So when you get into this tank and everything’s cut off, the only place you have to go is inside. When you get out, you’re able to pull all of yourself back to you.”

Pintor said he started experimenting with his consciousness when he was in the Army and stationed in Albuquerque.

“It took me a while to find myself,” Pintor said. “The reason I joined the military in the first place was to help people, but I realized when I was there that I wasn’t really helping people and it just wasn’t where I wanted to be. It was all part of the path, though.”

He went to Santa Fe to try a deprivation tank for the first time in his early 20s, and he said he’s been hooked ever since. Pintor

culture@dailylobo.com

said deprivation tanks helped him change himself, so he wanted to help others by offering them access to a tank.

“I feel that if everybody was floating, the world would be a much happier place, and we’re changing lives with every single person who steps into this tank,” Pintor said. “I truly believe that.

The progress I would see in clients, how they evolved and changed as people overall, was amazing.”

Deprivation tanks were created in 1954 by neuroscientist and philosopher John Lilly, who experimented with psychedelics and sensory deprivation. Safier said psychedelics and sensory deprivation can work together even though the separate experiences are very different.

“With psychedelics, then, you actually have a lot of activity. In a way, psychedelics is the opposite of sensory deprivation — you’re experiencing things on an internal level

and you’re almost overwhelmed by the novelty of it,” Safier said. “In a way, they’re related but they’re totally different, and there’s ways that you can use them both together.

The tank is about going inside, and psychedelics are like that but in a different way.”

Enlighten Others intern Alan Moreno has been experimenting with various sound frequencies inside the deprivation tank. He hooked up underwater speakers inside the tank.

“This is the creativity setting; this is the one I float with. It stimulates the mind,” Moreno said, as he played a single, vibrating tone in the tank. “There’s a lot of experimentation going down with sound, but we always test it on ourselves before letting anyone else do it.”

Whether a client is seeking pain relief, relaxation or spiritual awakening, Pintor said the tank can do it all — just make sure beforehand you don’t have any bank payments to make.

FAR LEFT Floating in a deprivation tank, the body begins to lose the sensation of touch. The water inside the tank is heated to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature similar to the human body. “It almost tricks your body into not knowing where your skin begins, where the water begins and where the air begins. It all feels like one,” said Kenneth Pintor.

FOR YOUR EARS

Thursday, February 28, 2013/ Page 9

You know you’re right.

a monthly music preview

by Antonio Sanchez

The Wailers, Sense & Change Sunshine Theater Saturday, March 2 at 7 p.m.

All ages $22

The Wailers is composed primarily of members of the original Bob Marley and the Wailers. The Wailers formed after Bob Marley’s death in 1981. While the band hasn’t released a new album since 2000, this legendary reggae group still stands strong after 30 years of touring.

For Your Consideration: “Steppin’ Razor” is a catchy, laid-back tune, which steps away for a moment from the song’s chorus for a lax saxophone solo.

The Story So Far, The American Scene, Sweet Weapons, Summerfield Place The Gasworks Tuesday, March 5 at 7 p.m.

All ages $12

Riding atop the recent wave of tough-guy pop-punk bands is The Story So Far. These California natives manage to bring something fresh to the tried and true genre, thanks in part to lead singer Parker Cannon’s harsh vocal approach and tight guitar lines.

For Your Consideration: “Right Here” is an up-tempo track off the band’s upcoming album “What You Don’t See.” It features a particularly energetic Cannon, his voice carrying the song from beginning to end.

The Hush Sound, The Last Royals, Sydney Wayser Launchpad Wednesday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m.

13+ $12

The Hush Sound had the unfortunate luck of being a new pop band in the mid-2000s, a crowded time when the genre was dominated by floppyhair acts such as Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy. The band recently reunited, and its knack for catchy piano-driven tunes is a joy to be heard.

For Your Consideration: Lead singers Bob Morris and Greta Salpeter swoon together in “Where We Went Wrong,” a light acoustic duet marked by bits of banjo here and piano there.

Pierce the Veil, Memphis May Fire, letlive., Issues Sunshine Theater Friday, March 15 at 7 p.m.

13+ $17.50

California hardcore-act letlive. is one of the few bands in the genre that absolutely needs to be seen live. Lead singer Jason Butler owns the stage during live performances, often jumping along with the audience one moment, rolling and screaming on the floor the next.

For Your Consideration: “Homeless Jazz” is a hardcore song with a swagger in its step, as Butler often swaps his shouting for a more pop-driven set of chops.

West Water Outlaws, The Breaktone, Snake Oil Spill Low Spirits Wednesday, March 20 at 9 p.m.

21+ $7

Listening to West Water Outlaws’ take on American rock ‘n’ roll is akin to drinking a tall, cold glass of Coca-Cola while watching fireworks explode after a baseball game. The band’s drums and guitars go down smooth, as lead singer Blake Rooker’s voice goes easy on the ears.

For Your Consideration: The blues-y guitar lead-in to “Come On” and the accompanying array of cymbals and tambourines demand to be listened to while waving an American flag and releasing a handful of eagles into the sky.

Dinner and a Suit, The Limbs, Sam & Nate, Faze Fate, Slite Detour Blackwater Music Wednesday, March 27 at 8 p.m.

All ages $12 presale tickets, $15 at the door

The Limbs is a local two-man blues-rock band akin to other two-man acts such as The Black Keys and Japandroids. The Limbs shares the stage with its sonic opposite, Dinner and a Suit, which is a Christian soft-rock band with tunes that hit as hard as a collision between a chinchilla and a bag of marshmallows.

For Your Consideration: “Downtown Blues” by The Limbs is a simmering blues track in which guitarist Gage Andrews channels his inner Stevie Ray Vaughan with a towering guitar solo.

The Littlest Viking, Anaris, Martial Law

Blackwater Music Friday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m.

All ages Ticket price at the door Fans of math rock and all things that feature twinkling guitar lines will love the instrumental rock group The Littlest Viking. The band’s playing is so precise, you might think it swapped surgical knives for guitar picks.

Don’t mistake the band’s technicality for being too serious. With song titles such as “Theme from Magnum P.I.” and “The McRib is Back!?!,” this band is anything but serious.

For Your Consideration: The tight guitar lines and quick drumming of “Dr. Patch Adams, You Saved My Life!” is reminiscent of the local math guitar gods of Kidcrash.

Even in a world of Angry Birds, Words with Friends and Temple Run, some people still make games from cardboard and plastic.

Once a week, tabletop-game designers join gamers at Active Imagination, a Northeast Heights hobby shop, to “playtest” their latest board game creations.

“Sure, you can buy a game that’s already made … but to come in on the ground floor? That’s awesome,” Ben Klein, Active Imagination store manager, said. “You get to give feedback, bounce ideas around … It’s really invigorated the community.”

The weekly meet-up began when local game designer Brad Talton sought local playtesters to sample his first game. Since then, the meet-up has grown to accommodate multiple game developers and their fans.

Talton began his career as a contractual app developer after graduating from the University of North Carolina in 2009. After being laid off

Photo courtesy of AlFamilyAndArena Game pieces arranged at Active Imagination for the store’s weekly board game playtesting session. Gamers get to play and give feedback to local board game developers every Tuesday. during the recession, he started his own company, Level 99 Games. The company’s first product, an iPhone app for Dungeons & Dragons players, was successful enough to allow Talton to focus on developing games. He began testing his game designs at Active Imagination with the help of other gamers and game developers.

UNM student Matthew Locklin has playtested games at Active Imagination for two years, and he said he is inspired by Talton’s success.

“He’s kind of … living the dream,” Locklin said. “I’ve always wanted to make a game and have it take off, and Brad found a way to do that.”

Experimental versions of some of Talton’s games — Battle Connection: Devastation of Indines, or just BattleCON 2, for short; Pixel Tactics 2; and Disc Duelers — were available to play at Active Imagination on Tuesday.

The three games all take place in the same universe, but that’s where the similarities end. BattleCON 2 is a twoplayer dueling card game in the style of an arcade fighting game, while Disc Duelers is a multiplayer free-for-all in which players take turns flicking their milk-cap-sized character tokens at their enemies. Pixel Tactics 2 plays similarly to BattleCON 2, in which two opposing players battle with their own deck of cards.

In addition to board game designers, Tuesday night playtesting has drawn in video game developers. One

of the developers is Andrew Yang, self-proclaimed “tyrannical leader” and CEO of Rapscallion Inc. “We’re a bunch of pirates and misfits,” Yang said with a chuckle.

Yang’s company is made up of many of his friends from high school and college, and is developing a scifi strategy game for Android devices.

Yang said the development process for digital games takes more time than that of a board game because it entails programming and coding.

“With board games, you can design it on paper and have a prototype much more easily,” Yang said. “It’s what kills a lot of small video game developers starting out.”

The game development community at Active Imagination, however, shows no sign of shutting down. In fact, it is always welcoming new developers and playtesters.

“It’s an open forum,” Talton said.

“Anyone can bring a game and have it played … or if you like to try new games, come out and you’ll have fun, too. It works both ways.”
