BE MY EYES Platform: iOS, Android Cost: Free by Dylan Allen

It’s hard to imagine life without vision. The relationship between those who can and can’t see can be awkward. What’s the best way to help without giving offense? Whether you’re an individual who is visually impaired and needs assistance, or a person who wants to give back, Be My Eyes is for you. Be My Eyes pairs volunteers with visually impaired individuals who need brief assistance. For example, the app opens with a screen showing a single control. Double tapping this button connects the user to a sighted volunteer through a one-way video and two-way audio connection. The volunteer can then view the environment through the other’s rear-facing camera as well as talk to them. For example, if someone needs to know if their milk is expired but can’t read the label, they can simply make a call on the app and a volunteer can assist them. Be My Eyes is also compatible with common accessibility settings for the vision impaired, such as TalkBack, VoiceOver, Select-toSpeak, Magnifier, and Zoom. The app is free to download and use on any iOS and Android devices.

1917 by Mikey G alo

Director Sam Mendes delivers with “1917,” one of the most highly anticipated movies to hit the big screen in recent memory. Set in northern France during World War I, the film focuses on two young British soldiers tasked with traveling through enemy territory to save 1,600 men from walking into certain death. The movie is suspenseful and keeps the audience invested for its entire two-hour runtime. Co-stars George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman have deservedly received high praise for their roles. There are also welcome appearances from already established actors including Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden and Mark Strong. The film was shot to appear as if the movie is one continuous take. While this is not a new concept, Mendes and cinematographer Roger Deakins execute it flawlessly and allow the film to flow without any hiccups or awkward transitions. The pair previously experimented with this technique when they teamed up for the James Bond thriller “Spectre” in 2015. “1917” received three Golden Globe nominations, winning one for Best Motion Picture – Drama, and another for Best Director – Motion Picture. It has also been nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Cinematography, Directing, Best Picture and Writing-Original Screenplay. “1917” is an exciting movie that certainly lives up to its blockbuster billing and Oscar hype.

“Circles” by Mac Miller by Rhett Artis We’ve all been at a point in our lives where we go through the motions, letting life have its way with us. Mac Miller’s first posthumous album release, “Circles” is a forty-nine minute musical rollercoaster — recorded months before his unfortunate passing in September of 2018 — that showcases the artist’s thoughts on the struggles of constantly living life by “drawin’ circles.” Although the album is quite succinct — just 12 tracks — Miller dives into isolation and his insecurities over lighthearted instrumentals filled with live instrumentation and analog keys. The project’s defining feature isn’t just the production, it’s mainly Miller’s diverse lyrical content that forces you to hang on to every syllable. On the track titled “Good News,” Miller sings about mental confinement, over soft, slow-moving guitar strums juxtaposed with hopeful synth embellishments. This album is a glimpse into the mind of an artist who has touched millions with his music and the legacy he left behind. In a recent Instagram post, the Mac Miller Estate explains that “Circles” is a continuation of Miller’s previously released Grammy-nominated album, “Swimming,” the concept being: “Swimming in Circles.”

This Weekend @ 4 STAR

eekends are for kicking back and enjoying yourself, and the 4-Star Concert and Dance Hall in Brenham makes sure you have plenty of options. This weekend, they have three great shows lined up for you: Caleb & The Homegrown Tomatoes on Friday, Jan. 24 at 8:00 p.m., the Austin legend Bob Schneider himself on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 9:00 p.m, and Aaron Loesch on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 6:00-10:00 p.m.

from the jam-band Ugly Americans, who opened multiple times for the Dave Matthews Band in the ‘90s to the funk band The Scabs, who made a name for themselves in Austin with their bawdy showtunes. Schneider, however, has had an illustrious solo career as a singer/songwriter for the last two decades, and his most recent album, 2018’s “Blood and Bones” is a stripped down piece full of raw emotion.

First up is the Conroe-based Caleb & The Homegrown Tomatoes. Founded by Caleb Hoelscher, the Homegrown Tomatoes get their name from a Guy Clark quote: “ There’s only two things that money can’t buy, that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes.” This symbolizes the band in and out; Hoelscher built his band with his hometown friends and acquaintances, built his band’s style out of the homegrown styles and genres his band members were interested in, and started performing in hometown venues around Conroe. Their blend of classic rock, altcountry, and Americana with little bits of jazz is sure to please audiences in the Brazos Valley!

Thirdly, join 4 Star for the Sunday Weekend Wind Down with Aaron Loesch on the SideBar Stage from 6-10:00 p.m. And the best part—there’s no cover! Loesch has been in the business for 34 years. His invention of a full drum kit pedal board for the feet allows him to wow audiences as a one man band playing a little of everything from the 40s up. Loesch plays every week, so why not make it a Sunday tradition?

Secondly, come on out Saturday for An Evening with Bob Schneider. The Austin-based Schneider is a veteran of Texas music, having performed in quite a few notable bands before he started his solo act all the way back in 1999:

To p u r c h a s e t i c ke t s , go to the 4 Star Brenham website.

4 Star has proven itself over the last few years to be one of the premier venues in Brenham for incredible concerts, and this weekend’s slate of shows continues this tradition!

WINSLOW HOMER IMPRESSIONS OF THE COAST by Rhett Artis

B

oston illustrator and artist Winslow Homer is considered one of the most distinguished American painters of the 19th Century. His scenic depictions of American coasts and marine subjects have inspired art lovers for over one hundred years. Today, the very same pre- and post- Civil War works that rocketed Homer to the forefront of the American art scene are currently on display in a tasteful exhibition at the Forsyth Galleries in Texas A&M’s Memorial Student Center until Mar. 22.

THE ART OF

ALOHA by Dylan Allen

Y

ou see them everywhere: a dad on a weekend getaway, a fraternity brother at a live music festival, any person that’s on a cruise. Sometimes it seems that whenever the temperature rises above 75 degrees, we have a tendency to wear our favorite Hawaiian button up. Also referred to as the Aloha shirt, this festive torso wear makes anyone stand out in a crowd due to the intricate patterns and vibrant colors. “Art of the Aloha Shirt: Keoni of Hawaii, 1938-51,” the latest exhibit at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries at Texas A&M University, will be on view from Jan. 28 - Apr. 19 and pays homage to John “Keoni” Meigs and his contributions in making the shirt into what we know and love today.

16 MAROON WEEKLY // Jan. 22, 2020 // MAROONWEEKLY.COM


The origins of the Aloha shirt are, in fact, quite uncertain. However, what is certain is the obvious inspiration drawn from Polynesian tapa cloth, Tahitian sarong-like skirts, and the fabric used to make Japanese kimonos. In the 1930s, as Hawaii became a popular destination for tourists, a need for casual wear and not just work clothes took over the clothing industry in Hawaii. After World War II, tourists fell in love with the shirt and made sure to bring their colorful clothing home after their holidays on the islands. John “Keoni” Meigs is credited as the most innovative merchandiser in the history of the Aloha shirt. Known by others as “Keoni of Hawaii,” his self-taught painting skills attracted early shirt manufacturers in Honolulu. 1938 saw his first designs, based on Polynesian tapa patterns he saw at the Bishop Museum. Keoni went on to create as many as three hundred Aloha shirt designs, and his unique vision for the Aloha shirt has been curated by Dale Hope, a Hawaiian native and author of the book “The Aloha Shirt: Spirit of the Islands.” This latest exhibition is on loan to the Stark Gallery from ExhibitsUSA. ExhibitsUSA is a national division of Mid-America Arts Alliance with The Texas Commission on the Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts. “Both the Stark and Forsyth Galleries bring in exhibitions from around the country that our students and community wouldn’t otherwise get to see, and admission is always free,” says Molly Painter, University Art Galleries Communications Specialist. “Art of the Aloha Shirt: Keoni of Hawaii, 1938-51“ will be on display at the Stark Galleries in the Memorial Student Center (MSC 1110). Along with the exhibit, the folks at the gallery invite all guests to their Aloha Shirt Luau on Thursday, Mar. 19, from 4:30-6 p.m. in the Stark Galleries. Guests can enjoy refreshments, games, music, and giveaways at the luau, and of course wear their own favorite Hawaiian button-up.
