It’s that time of year again— the time when I wonder just why exactly I would choose to live in Phoenix and why I wonder why I’m not rich enough to afford a summer home somewhere with a more temperate climate. (Hint: I’m a magazine editor. Also, Phoenix rules most of the year. We just need to brave it out.)

While everyone else in the country is finally breaking out their flip flops and commercials are saying things like “Fun in the sun!” (No such thing) and “It’s time to get outdoors!” (Hard pass, thanks), we’re left to worship air conditioned spaces.

In-State Angels saves Tempe ranks seventh for bike-to-work commutes, according to report out-of-state students big bucks Jorge Salazar • College Times For Jake Wells, a University of Colorado Boulder graduate, the cost of out-of-state tuition is still a sore subject.

“Ultimately it’s painful when I look back at how much I ended up spending on my college career,” Wells says. “It still looms over me.”

Wells says he graduated with close to $150,000 in debt, and looking back at his experience in hindsight, he was a person who deserved in-state pricing.

In order to qualify for in-state tuition, Wells says schools are looking for people who can prove they have the intent to remain the state they will be studying in who are also financially independent.

“That was me!” Wells says. “I gave it a shot and just found the process extremely difficult. I was busy doing college. I was in a fraternity, going to classes, working.

I was busy.”

Not having the resources to guide him along the process of lobbying for in-state pricing and consequently having his request rejected motivated Wells to prevent others from making the same mistakes he did.

Wells founded In-State Angels to help students qualify for in-state tuition the fastest way possible. They work with students closely to expedite the process and save them from the headache of going at it alone.

“We work and accept clients in about 38 states and 150 colleges,” Wells says. “And in all the schools where we accept clients, the difference is usually in excess of $10,000.”

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

It’s common to save between $15,000 and $20,000 per year a semester, he says.

Wells says one of the biggest mistakes college students make is trivializing the process of applying for in-state tuition, where one mistake in their petition could jeopardize their efforts and wallet.

“We’ve turned it petitions that are over 300 pages holding all the supporting documentation,” he says. “People have no idea what they’re getting into.”

In-State Angels does all of the thinking for their customers, offering a client portal through their website that oversees their progress and outlines their strategy for proving to schools that they are deserving of in-state tuition.

“I’m happy that we can make that process simple for people,” he says. “I would never say it’s easy, but I will say that it’s simple.”

In-State Angels has different charges based on the school. They charge a portion of the tuition savings per semester until they graduate. Wells says it’s usually between 10 to 20 percent of the amount saved.

Wells says the response from families that are now able to enable their children’s college dreams has been amazing.

“There’s such a tendency for students to just think of college money as monopoly money,” he says. “Whether it’s theirs or their parents.”

Wells and In-State Angels are able to lift the burden of large loans and dependent students from parents’ shoulders.

“It helps us make adults out of college students” he says.

Jorge Salazar • College Times According to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau, Tempe ranked 7th place in medium-sized cities for the number of people bike commuting to work.

The report states that the number of U.S. workers traveling to work via bicycle increased from 488,000 in 2000 to approximately 786,000 between 2008 and 2012. Bicycles had the largest increase over any other commuting method.

Mehdi Farsi, owner of custom bike shop State Bicycle Company in Tempe, says he has noticed the interest in cycling grow in the city.

“Around 2007 or 2008, fixed gear bikes started to become more and more popular,” he says.

State Bicycle Company makes the concept of having a custom bicycle at a price that won’t drain your wallet a possibility for commuters.

“The goal of State Bicycle was basically to get really quality components and pair them with a really nice aesthetic,” Farsi says. “Like a custom-looking bike, where you would to piece them together in the past. We would have these all ready to go for our customer and I think that is where we’ve been able to succeed.”

Farsi says there are many reasons bike commuting, especially to work, has risen as a preferred method of transportation.

Chief among them is Tempe’s terrain and the ease of biking in a city lacking of hills or inclines.

“In Tempe, everything is really flat,” he

says. “You can get by just fine on a fixed gear bike.”

Farsi says new housing, like apartment complexes, are also promoting cycling as a viable option for commuting.

“People are starting to live closer to where they work,” he says. “I think that ties in with [the fact that] people are now more environmentally conscious.”

This isn’t the first time Tempe has made its mark as one of the best cities for cycling.

In 2012, it made the list on Bicycling Magazine’s Top 50 Bike-Friendly cities.

Based on reports by the Alliance for Biking and Walking and the League of American Bicyclists, The city of Tempe nabbed the 18th spot due to its cycling infrastructure and vibrant cycling demographic.

The city has a comprehensive cycling network, which the bike and pedestrian bridge across Tempe Town Lake serves as a connection.

Furthermore, there are local businesses that exist to encourage individuals to commute.

Tempe’s The Bicycle Cellar is a downtown bike shop and commuter station. The facility offers bike rentals, storage, and even locker rooms for members to shower and change for work after their commute.

Farsi says cycling is a great mode of transportation that you can feel good about, as it can help trim your waist line and your spending.

“It is great exercise,” he says. “Gas prices tend to factor in there. It’s a lot more economical to ride a bike.”

How exactly are we supposed to have a fun summer if we’re subjected to this blazing misery? Our hair is flat and our makeup slicks off, so how are we supposed to have that #summerfun everyone on Instagram keeps talking about? This is why we need fun indoor alternatives during the day so at night we can enjoy Arizona’s beautiful sunsets, late night swims and fine dining. We scrounged up some of the Valley’s best A/C-rich places to let loose without dropping dead.

My First Time ...

oonce, oonce, oonce...

...At Scottsdale’s Hottest Club Christina Caldwell • College Times The first time I went to a nightclub, two of my friends got roofied. Luckily nothing happened to them (aside from the whole being drugged thing), but hey! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless it’s a medical bill, in which case it will haunt you for the next five years.

It was supposed to be the hottest club in Vegas. And it was, being crowded wall-towall with fist pumping, strobe-lit tourists in their most scandalous outfits and all.

So needless to say my view of “hot” nightclubs is scarred. I’m not the dancing type. I’m not the Scottsdale type. (I’m kind of the “sit on the couch with the boyfriend on a Saturday night, get drunk and pet the dog” kind of girl.) But my brother is getting married and I really love his fiancé, so I threw her a bachelorette party. And she wanted to go full-blown Scottsdale.

I’m pretty out-of-touch with Old Town happenings. But I do remember getting a press release for Cake Nightclub. I remember thinking “I do not want to go there.” So, guess where we ended up?

One friend helped get us a bargain on table service ($500, down from the original $750) and arranged a ride from The Saguaro Hotel in a Chevy Tahoe—my sisterin-law’s favorite.

Walking into the club was a bit like walking into a haunted house. Victorianinspired wooden walls swirled with smoke from a fog machine. We were escorted to our table by a cute girl in her underwear with dramatic false eyelashes, then we were parked at a small table closest to the entrance/exit. I guess this is what $500 gets you.

When our first bottle of vodka arrived to the table we were more than ready for our next drink. And once we were one drink deep it was time to hit the dancefloor...for everyone but me and the friend I dragged along.

Cake strikes me as the see-and-be-seen sort of place, but with thick, heavy, sweetscented fog in the air, you can’t really see anything at all. I’m guessing this is an attempt to disguise just how small the nightclub is. It was probably double the size of my apartment, and I live in a pretty small apartment. On the plus side this place had a lot less dog hair strewn about than my apartment, so I’ll put that in the “pros” column.

I was expecting to have to sit with my palm over my drink all night, prepping for any person who wanted to test their magic sex elixir on me and my friends.

Luckily I didn’t have to do that. In fact, I’d guess that the population of the club was about 65 women and 35 percent men, so my wallflower act worked like a charm, especially considering the other chicks were wearing crop tops and shorts, bodysuits and other scantily clad outfits that look so much better on them than they do on me.

So here’s the thing: The night was fun.

I had a good time. My sister-in-law was happy. I had good company, and I learned a lot about myself—like how I never, ever want to do that again. I went in chocking all of this up to “You need to try new things, Christina!” But neh. Give me a $14 handle of cheap rum and season 2 of “Orange is the New Black” and I’m happy as a dog eating bacon while getting belly rubs, which coincidentally is my plan for my pup next Saturday night.

COLLEGE Kitchen:

No Bake Summer Treats Strawberry Ice

Ana Anguiano • College Times The summer is already miserable enough without turning on your stove to bake some cookies. But how does one endure such exhausting temperatures without some sweetness in their lives? We’ve got you covered. We made three chillingly delicious desserts that will keep you cool and satisfied all summer long.

Strawberry Ice

$4

Nutella Banana Pops $2

Dark Chocolate Cereal Clusters

Nutella Banana Pops

$1

$3

We like to keep things easy and cheap here at College Times and this could not be easier or cheaper. Make a simple syrup solution by boiling one cup of water and1/2 cup sugar. Once it’s all incorporated, cool it down and add it to a blender with three cups of chopped strawberries (one small container). Once it’s smooth, pour it in a shallow container and freeze for four hours. Once it’s solid scrape out into a bowl and enjoy!

Pro tip: You can change strawberries for any other berry. The sky is the limit!

$9 $2

$2

This one is ultra easy. Cut up three bananas and pop them in the freezer for two hours. Then add them to a blender along with ½ cup of Nutella, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of cocoa powder. Blend it all up until you have a super thick mixture. Pour it into Popsicle molds or small paper cups and freeze for four hours.

Pro tip: The Nutella flavor is subtle, so if you are addicted to the stuff add a bit more.

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

$2

Dark Chocolate Cereal Clusters

$2.50

$2

$7.10

$2.60

The best part of this recipe is that you can customize the cereal. We went with Special K Chocolate Almond because it sounds like dessert for breakfast.

In a microwave melt 1 1/2 cups of dark chocolate chips. Once it’s smooth add 1/3 cup of peanut butter. To that add 3 cups of cereal and combine it all.

Spoon the clusters on to a baking sheet and refrigerate for three hours.

Pro tip: These can get a little messy to the touch, so try crushing up the cereal a bit and make smaller clusters for a one-bite treat.

Student Voices Orange is the new obsession There is no doubt that Netflix has changed the way we consume media, but I never cared or thought it was a bad thing until the second Ana Anguiano season of ”Orange Is The New Black” was released last week.

I didn’t care much for the show when it debuted last year. The protagonist, Piper, a yuppie who makes bad choices and has to serve time in a minimum security prison, was completely insufferable, and the show in general was a bit too intense for me. But I watched it because my friends raved about it and I wanted to join in on the conversation.

After that I didn’t think about it again until after buzz started to pick up about the new season.

It was almost like I couldn’t avoid it. There were ads for it all over the internet, it invaded my social media, NPR interviewed the show creator while I was driving and everyone I knew was talking about it and planning viewing parties. Suddenly I cared and I didn’t really know why.

10

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

The weird swirling buzz totally got to me. It was released on a Friday, and while I didn’t plan on it, I finished the entire second season that Sunday. It was cool and I liked it, but it wasn’t satisfying at all.

I had wasted 13 hours of my weekend watching a show that I wasn’t even excited about to begin with, and after it ended that was it. My weekend was over.

I try not to binge watch shows, but when I do, I have a much more reasonable pace.

But being reasonable and setting a pace for yourself is not what Netflix wants you to do. They want you to inhale their programming and react to it immediately, which is pretty insane as far as old school TV models go. I already waste a lot of time on Netflix, especially when it’s 110 degrees outside, but 13 hours was where I suddenly feel the need to draw the line.

There are other chores I could have accomplished and, like, a handful of outdoor activities I could have attended, but instead I stayed home and cried over characters that were in prison. The pace and intensity also left me a little shaken.

Binge media culture relies on an urgency of what’s hot and trending. It’s pretty much how we experience things online these days. Something blows up, it gets passed around and then quickly forgotten until relevant again. And with

Social Media SHOT A big congratulations to Amanda Ochoa, who submitted her summertime selfie on the College Times Facebook page for a chance to win a hotel stay at Rocky Point’s Peñasco del Sol. In the photo she’s soaking up the sun in Puerto Rico with a friend, and now she’ll be taking in some rays in Puerto Peñasco.

Be sure to think of the little people trapped back in the desert when you’re sipping on Coronas, Amanda!

spoilers being such a huge deal to people, the expectation is keep up or deal with it.

There’s nothing wrong with binge watching, I suppose, if you are the type of person who wants everything right away, but it just makes me feel

weirdly isolated and yucky. The sense of urgency to keep going allows for a lot to be missed as well, making it unenjoyable at times. If this is where the future lies when it comes to small screen shows, I might have to find some real hobbies.

We aim to provide an exhilarating experience to create a beautiful new you!

El Dorado Bar and Grill serves up good drinks, cheap eats in vintage Scottsdale space Ana Anguiano • College Times When someone suggests going out for a drink in Scottsdale, there are certain expectations. Old Town is full of swanky high-stakes places where the crowd is there to be seen and the drinks are meant to be expensive, not that great, and probably spilled.

But there is a side of Scottsdale that only the locals know. People who have lived there for generations know that the key to having a great neighborhood is having a great neighborhood bar, which is exactly what El Dorado Bar and Grill is.

The property on which El Dorado sits has been there 53 years and started out as a model home in 1960, when Scottsdale was far from what it has transformed into today. It was later called the “Lamp Post” in the ‘70s and then became the famous “Blue Note” in the ‘90s, which built a reputation for spotlighting local and national musical talent.

Arizona natives Doug and Joy Brackin, from Scottsdale and Payson respectively, purchased the bar in December of 2013 and now keep the spirit alive with music, cold drinks and eclectic crowds. They also have a jukebox, a pool table and sports games going to finish it all off.

“I like to drink. I’m Irish and I got tired of paying retail for my liquor,” Doug says. “We just wanted to find a little place where you can get a cocktail and a good burger.”

a lot of changes since the bar first opened and new people are moving in all the time, but Doug says they still have customers that come in and remember their old stomping grounds and what El Dorado was in previous incarnations.

But when they started out, Doug says the bar was not in the best of conditions by any means. It had not been taken care of at all and required a lot of work to get it back up and running, which Doug says falls in line with the revitalization that entire area of Scottsdale is going through.

They have specials all week to watch out for. Tuesdays are extra special for ladies with $2 drinks. Wednesdays from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. there is a blues jam party, with karaoke on Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Happy hour is Monday through Friday from open ‘til 6 p.m., when you can enjoy $3 wells, wine and wings, which are the three most important W’s when it comes to happy hour. And when you do visit El Dorado, make sure to say hi to Doug and Joy when you drop by. They’ll likely be in a great mood.

“It’s a fun little place to have a burger, have a beer or two, or three or seven,” Doug says.

El Dorado Bar and Grill, 8708 E. McDowell Road, Scottsdale, 480.945.2606, eldorado-bar-grill. com, open Monday through Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Josh Schull has come full circle. After working in collections, doing time in retail, manning bars and dabbling in construction, Schull is finally back in a world that brought him joy as a child: skateboarding.

Nevertheless, Schull is the first to let you know he wasn’t ever exactly an expert.

“It was never serious and we were never professional or good at it,” he says.

“But when I was a kid, it was something all the neighborhood kids did. We would all get on our boards and mess around.”

Today, Schull runs Keep Screaming Skate Shop in the efforts to promote that same type of experience for local Phoenix kids.

The board shop, which recently celebrated its one year anniversary in April, is located in downtown Phoenix and sells high quality skateboarding products for both experienced and beginning skaters at competitive prices.

“I compete with online prices and I don’t try to mark anything super high,” says Schull. “Whenever I can, I hook people up. Whenever I get a deal, they go directly to the customer.”

Becoming part of the local community and forging relationships with their patrons is something Schull and Keep Screaming take seriously.

“We get all of our stuff from distributors across the U.S. and it’s all American made,” Schull says of the shop’s inventory. “I do try to keep the bigger names out, just include the local stuff. I try to promote the local scene a lot.”

After holding an art show as part of their anniversary celebration last month, Schull plans to keep offering a space in his shop for local artists to showcase their creations. Other events, like a spray painting party, will reach out to kids and let them make their literal mark on the shop with graffiti.

Yet, one thing that Schull won’t be doing any time soon is sponsoring competitions.

“We don’t believe in doing competitions, it’s not about who is the best skater,” he says. “We have guys that go around filming just for the fun of it and for the spirit of skateboarding.”

Schull says the point of their events is simply about getting together and having fun, which is the M.O. of the operation.

“Part of the business model of Keep Screaming is to encourage the kids to keep screaming,” he says. “In a way that says ‘don’t grow up so fast that you miss out on the opportunities you have as a kid.’”

Schull says kids get forced to grow up too quickly and Keep Screaming Skate Shop is here to help put the breaks on that, if only momentarily.

“You never forget those things,” he says of childhood experiences. “So I wanted to stick with something that appeals to the youth so I can encourage them to keep their innocence and their spirits high.”

If you’ve had the privilege of sampling SanTan Brewing Company’s many styles of beer, you will be happy to know that folks in California and Texas will soon be able to discover and be as obsessed with Devil’s Ale, HopShock IPA, SunSpot Gold, and Mr. Pineapple Wheat Beer as we are.

SanTan partnered with the distributors Reyes Beverage Group to break into Southern California earlier this year and Ben E. Keith Beverages in Texas, where their beer should be in stores this month.

“In southern California, from Santa Barbara to Tijuana, there are 23 million people. In Texas there’s like almost 30 million people. That’s like rolling out France and Germany at the same time,” says Anthony Canecchia, founder and brewmaster at SanTan. SanTan is now set to produce 25,000 barrels of their signature ales and lagers in 2014 alone, but when the brewery opened its doors in 2007, Canecchia says they never dreamed of getting to the point where expanding out of state was even an option.

“When I opened SanTan the intention was to just be a brew pub, nothing more.

We just wanted to brew our beer and sell it on site,” Canecchia says. “The great recession hit and we were scared quite frankly of just relying on the retail aspect of the brewery.”

As SanTan became more popular, word spread. Other bars and restaurants wanted to carry their beers on tap. A year later they started packaging and canning their beers to the point where demand was so high, they had to find distributor that could take the burden off of Canecchia and his Toyota

Tacoma.

But Canecchia says they didn’t make it to where they are now without a little help from their friends. Canecchia reached out to breweries in Colorado to see how it was done and got plenty of advice.

“You think of any other industry and they’d be like, are you insane? You think Coca-Cola would let Pepsi come into their place? It would be the last thing on earth that would happen, but with us it’s like, ‘Yeah! Come on up! Sure, when are you coming? We’ll be here!’”

“We bring our beer they give us their beer. We go around and they say, ‘This is the best piece of equipment we’ve ever purchased. You should make sure you buy one of these,’ or ‘Never buy one of these.

It’s the worst thing we ever did.’ There is no other industry like that,” he says.

Moving beyond Arizona’s borders has been a challenge and a lot of work hours, especially because every state has different licenses and regulations. SanTan also does not pasteurize their beer, which means it has to be refrigerated when transported and served fresh. But their Southwestern style ales, with a dry and effervescent taste, is unique and refreshing, making them ideal representatives of Arizona’s booming craft beer community.

“We never would have gotten here without people believing in us and supporting us for the past seven years. It comes down to people believing in what is being made in their community,” Canecchia says.

53 scientist from around the world don’t want e-cigs labeled as tobacco products.

E-cigs are a booming business, but government regulation could get in the way If it seems like the electronic cigarette market is booming, that’s because it is. In fact, the industry is set to hit the $3 billion market segment by 2015, according to Linarch Reports and Citi Research. E-cigs have taken off all over the world but many still remain skeptical as to how they should be regulated and taxed.

Last month, a group of 53 scientists from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia wrote to the World Health Organization imploring them to not classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products.

They argue that more research is needed and that e-cigs might be the key to saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

“Up to one billion preventable tobacco– related premature deaths are possible in the 21st Century,” the letter reads. “Such a toll of death, disease and misery demands that we are relentless in our search for all possible practical, ethical and lawful ways to reduce this burden.”

The problem with e-cigarettes is that currently they are mostly unregulated and under studied. The FDA has argued that they do not know the long-term effects of vaping and lack sufficient data.

Bob Casteel, owner of several e-cigarette shops, including Just E-Cigs in Tempe, agrees with the overall need for more studies and research. Casteel is confident that if electronic cigarettes were looked at closely, they would be hailed as a much better alternative to smoking.

“I don’t mind giving my opinion that vaping is healthier than smoking,” he says. ”Nicotine is highly addictive. It’s supposed to be harder to quite than heroin, but it

isn’t dangerous. It sucks you in and keeps you smoking and you are exposed to all the other things in a cigarette.”

E-cigarettes being a “healthier” alternative is what the scientists most discuss in the letter.

“1.3 billion people who currently smoke could do much less harm to their health if they consumed nicotine in lowrisk, non-combustible form,” it reads. “We have known for years that people ‘smoke for the nicotine, but die from the smoke.’”

The scientists are urging the WHO to make them easily available. Labeling e-cigarettes as a tobacco product would raise taxes, eliminate advertising and make them harder to obtain for those looking for a way to quit smoking.

Currently the price of vaping is about 1/3 the price of cigarettes but new regulations could change everything.

“I would love to have this all studied more,” Casteel says. “I know what’s in our juice and I know what’s in the stuff we buy from people because we monitor their production facility. I’m not worried about that but I would love for the government to be convinced and put all these other issues to rest.”

The wheels of change are slow going, as always, and while there is a lack of solid scientific evidence, there is also a lot at stake for tobacco companies and everyone involved in the booming vaping industry. Casteel says he predicts the market peaking soon, but everything will depend on how legislation is handled.

Elvira is ready to give you a kick in the pants at Mad Monster Phoenix Ana Anguiano • College Times It might be the middle of June, but that doesn’t mean we can’t party like monsters. Mad Monster Phoenix promises to be the spookiest and craziest horror convention of the summer with guests such as Elvira, Roddy Piper and Cherie Currie, among others.

College Times got a chance to chat with the one and only Mistress of Darkness, Cassandra Peterson, about her double life as Elvira and business woman/mother. She also had some choice words for anyone feeling a little lost in the career department.

College Times: When you go to cons and other horror events, is there anything that still shocks you or really piques your interest?

Peterson: I’m not sure if anything shocks me anymore to tell you the truth. It’s kind of like I’ve seen it all, but there are a lot of things that interest me that I think are cool. I always look forward to the fans that have me tattooed on their body. They come up and say, “Wait ‘til you see my Elvira tattoo,” and it’s fun to see what the hell they’re going to do next. People pull their shirts up, their pants down, you just never know. That’s always something fun to look forward to for me. And I love to see the cosplay, too, since I’m sort of wearing a costume. I’ve been doing cosplay for the last 30 something years, so I really get into people doing that as well.

What’s the key to being confident while doing cosplay?

16

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Wearing a costume and being someone else generally should give you a lot of confidence, I know it does for me. As the Elvira character I do all kinds of things I would never do as myself. Suddenly you put on this costume and you’re someone else and you’ve got this license to do all these things you wouldn’t do without the costume. In general it’s a real confidence booster.

What does it feel like to slip into the Elvira character?

I really just feel like I have a split personality. As the Elvira character, I have a lot more balls. I’m a lot sassier and brassier and people are kind of scared of me, it’s weird. As myself I’m a fairly normal woman. I’m a little more quiet and a little more reserved. For me I just become another person. Something takes over I don’t know what it is.

What advice do you give your 19– year–old daughter that you could share with us?

If you are trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do, take your time.

Try out different things. Do a little of this, a little of that, check this out, check that out, but don’t freak out because you don’t know what you want to do yet. Honest to God, it took me until I was 30 to decide.

Spray paint tips to flawlessly update your furniture With the warmer weather, now is the ideal time to bring new life to home decor.

Whether your outdoor items are looking worn and weathered—or your indoor spaces need a pop of color—spray paint is the perfect solution.

Prep properly Surface preparation is extremely important and the best predictor of how long your finish will last. The goal is to make your surface as smooth as possible to ensure the new paint adheres well. Remove any loose rust or paint by lightly sanding. Next, clean surfaces with soap and water or degreaser, if necessary. Rinse and let your surface dry completely. Your surface should now be clean, dull and dry.

To prime or not to prime Primer prepares bare metal, wood, canvas or other materials to create a smooth surface for paint. It also seals the surface to help smoothen out blemishes, increase spray paint adhesion and improve corrosion resistance.

While priming is a critical step, research shows that consumers only use a primer 50 percent of the time. For the same results with fewer steps, try a combination spray paint with primer.

Choosing the right product It is important to choose the product that meets the needs for your substrate— as well as your style.

Plastic/laminates With the popularity of ready-toassemble furniture made of laminates and storage items made of plastic, these surfaces are prime targets for painting.

However, without the right product, your project could turn out less than desirable. A specially-made bonding spray paint might be just the ticket.

Metal For metal surfaces—especially those that are exposed to outdoor elements—it is important to choose a product that provides rust protection. Several products on the market are combination paint, primer and rust repellants.

Wood Choosing the best spray paint for wood is dependent on the finish, use and location of your surface. Exterior projects should always be primed for the greatest durability. A general purpose spray paint is an ideal choice for wood.

Spraying specifics Before you spray, shake your can for about two minutes. Next, hold the can 6 to 8 inches away from the surface and use several thin coats of spray paint instead of one thick coat. Begin and finish your spray pattern off the object using an even side-to-side motion, releasing the tip at the end of each pass. Try to overlap your spray pattern by about onethird with each pass.

The art of being a wingman/winglady Ana Anguiano • College Times One of the hardest and most delicate things to do is make your friends look way better than they actually are. They’re your friends after all, and you have probably seen them at their worst and the next two levels below that. Showing them off like a prized show pup at a bar is quite the feat, especially since if they need someone to pave the way for their smooth moves.

There is also a lot of fun that can come with playing matchmaker.

However, a bar setting is pretty much the only place where being a wingman/ wingwoman is acceptable. Please do not try to make your tag-team act work at a coffee shop, hospital or Trader Joes.

There are social laws that require alcohol to lubricate such awkward mating rituals and you do not want to approach someone who is in a bad mood.

Rule 1: Puff up The first rule to being a great wingperson is to be really confident.

You are going to have to seem so cool and collected so that the person you are talking to assumes all your friends are equally competent and normal.

Surprisingly, this is hard to do. Try not

to ruin it before your friend even has a chance.

Rule 2: Do an ocular review of the room You also have to be able to read a room and read it quick. These are strangers you are approaching after all. You can call it scouting if you want, but that sounds sexist and creepy so we won’t go there. It’s a skill to know when someone is open and welcome to chat and when you are going to get shut down immediately. Always go for the friendly, happy faces. The sour ones are never worth it.

Rule 3: Demonstrate (your friend’s) value If you do find a group of people willing to engage with you, just chill out. There is no need to go above and beyond to impress strangers. If the stakes are so high that you have to lie and manipulate to get your friend someone’s number, your friend sounds terrible and they should try their hand at online dating.

Instead, find stories that will pump up their value. Ladies, this is where you shine the most. I don’t know what it is about wingwomen but they seem to carry more authority in this area. A good

recommendation from a fellow lady can be all it takes to convince someone that your friend is worth a chance. If you find yourself alone with the subject of your friend’s affection, talk about them in a way that makes it seem like you would love to date them if you weren’t taken.

Rule 4: Take yourself off the market That is also probably one of the key components to being a great wingperson.

You either have to be in a relationship of some sort or not in interested in finding yourself a partner for the night. It is already a pretty thankless job, so you better really like your friend for all that you’re doing for them. There also better be something in it for you, whether that’s food, beer or a filled out punch card for a free sub.

Rule 5: Know your place A truly great wingfriend will also know when to bow out and let their friend take the wheel. This requires a bit of tact and some sort of secret gesture that only you two understand. On the other hand, it’s probably a good idea to have a safe word ready just in case they need you to bail them out of what seemed like a good idea but has turned out to be the opposite.

GeT tiPsY

without tipping the scale Lower calorie alternatives to your favorite cocktails

Y

ou’re young and your metabolism is going haywire, but sooner or later, those alcoholic beverages will catch up with you. Yes, it’s a shocking reality we all have to address with new pants sooner or later—alcohol has calories. That means if you drink often and don’t exercise, you’ll plump up faster than a Christmas rum ham, and you’ll only be about half as tasty.

Knowing what drinks are high in calories is half the battle. That piña colada might look light and refreshing, and maybe even healthy. (After all, it has fruit!) Sorry ya’ll, it’s anything but. If you want to get tipsy but not tip the scale, here are some calorieconscious alternatives to your favorite drinks and cocktails.

Christina Caldwell • College Times

Ditch the Margarita...

There’s nothing wrong with a traditional margarita. Just make sure you’re the one making it. A traditionally made Mexican margarita in a cocktail glass is only about 153 calories. The problem is most bars won’t serve you a small margarita made with the standard lime juice, simple syrup, orange liqueur and tequila. Most establishments use a premade mix that’s packed with sugar and syrup and serve it all up in a giant margarita glass, which can make the drink exceed 800 calories. So instead...

Reach for a Salty Chihuahua You’ll get all of the delicious sweet, salty and tangy flavors of a margarita but you’ll be skipping the pre-made mix calories. If your bartender doesn’t know the recipe for this one, it’s 1 ounce tequila, 1/2 ounce orange liqueur, 3/4 cup grapefruit juice, a grapefruit slice and rimming salt. The drink clocks in at a cool 188 calories, so you don’t have to stop at just one.

24

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Ditch the Long Island Iced Tea...

If you’re looking for a bang for your buck, Long Island Iced Teas are your best bet. Averaging $7 at bars around town (and a dangerous $4 during Four Peaks’ reverse happy hours), Long Islands pack a drunken punch with a 1/2 ounce of rum, vodka, tequila and gin, 1 ounce sweet and sour and a splash of Coke.

However, if you’re looking for a bangin’ bikini bod, skip this one. Long Islands clock it in at around 750 calories.

Reach for a Double with Diet Let’s face it. No one enjoys a Long Island for the flavor. You’re just looking to get drunk, which is cool. We’re on board.

Next time ask for a double liquor of your choice with diet soda. Vodka technically has the lowest amount of calories, but some calorie counters argue that spiced rum like Captain Morgan is actually the better, non-fatty option because it has a higher “calories from alcohol,” which means that more of the calories come from alcohol, not the other stuff in it that makes it taste good like carbs and sugar.

Captain Morgan has 86 calories per each 1.5 oz shot, so you’re roughly looking at a 172 calorie knocker-outer. Whatever liquor you choose, double up and add citrus to prevent scurvy and finish with a splash of diet to swig it all down.

Ditch the Piña Colada...

If you’re on vacation, a refreshing piña colada is worth the calorie splurge, but if you’re just looking for a fruity drink with the flavors of pineapple and coconut to order as your drink of choice, you should look elsewhere. Piña coladas can run in excess of 600 calories, and even more if you eat the fruit on the side of the glass.

Plus, they’re usually served in massive containers larger than your standard pint glass, so you could easily double those calories if you’re not careful.

Ditch the Mudslide...

We know, we know. It’s an alcoholic chocolate milkshake, which makes it the hardest thing to resist in the world, especially when summer swings around.

But these refreshing drinkies with Irish cream, coffee liqueur, vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup aren’t just going to get you drunk at 600 calories; they’re going to get you chubby, too. Slow down there, Kelis. We have a better idea for bringing the boys to the yard, and you won’t have to do it by force.

Reach for a Malibu and Pineapple With all of the exciting tropical flavors of a piña colada with a third of the calories, a Malibu and pineapple mixed drink clocks in at about 262 calories. It’s not exactly low cal, but if it’s the flavor of the Caribbean you’re craving, this will at least take the edge off until your next beach vacation. Toss a frilly little paper umbrella in there and you’re good to go.

Reach for a White Russian Still far from being low in calories, this vodka, coffee liqueur and heavy cream beverage clocks in at around 350 calories, which is still a decrease from the Mudslide’s 600. Ask your bartender to make it with 2 percent milk instead of heavy cream and you can cut the calories considerably. Just ignore them when they roll their eyes.

Pop Culture >>> Tempe’s The Maine

heads home for Warped Tour

Dirk Mai

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times John O’Callaghan, vocalist for the Tempe rockers The Maine, sees the Warped Tour as more than a reason to complain about the summer heat.

Instead, he encourages fellow musicians to seize the opportunity and show potential fans what they’ve got.

“More so than just the hot weather, it’s such a great opportunity for not just new bands but old bands alike,” O’Callaghan says. “It’s such a great platform to play in front of new and maybe people who have heard your music before but it got lost in translation along the way. It’s a great experience for fans and bands.”

O’Callaghan and his band mates are on tour with Warped Tour again this year, hitting Quail Run Park in Mesa on Wednesday, June 18.

“I’ve been on the tour as an artist and I used to go to Warped Tour just as somebody attending,” says O’Callaghan, who also plays piano and guitar.

“It’s a very unique tour. It’s really, really a great time. I really encourage bands to take advantage of every day and don’t just let the 30 minutes on stage be the work that you put in. Dig a little deeper and take the opportunity to get your music

28

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

out there to a bunch of people who may not be aware in the first place.”

Some of the sweet Maine merch includes the DVD “An Acoustic Evening with The Maine,” which was filmed at the Tempe Center for the Arts by Kachina Creative Studios and 8123. The film serves as a documentary and also features behind-the-scenes interviews with the band, which also includes drummer Patrick Kirch, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, rhythm guitarist Kennedy Brock and guitarist Jared Monaco.

“We knew for the acoustic tour that we did, we wanted to bring a different experience to people who have come to see us before,” he says. “After we recorded the five-song EP that we did here in Phoenix, we decided to put together a tour. We wanted it to be acoustic but we didn’t just want it to be Jared and me with acoustic guitars and that’s it.

“We adapted some songs from each record to fit in with a vibe of a more stripped-down, intimate performance. That being said, we reached out to venues that had seats. We wanted it to be a different atmosphere for fans and for us as well.”

The DVD is available at themaine.81twentythree.com.

“We put it up on our own website just because we can, being unsigned and

independent,” O’Callaghan explains. “It’s not something that we are trying to drive down people’s throats. It’s a cool way to give back to the fans and drive attention back to the record that we have out and where we are as a band.”

On June 4, 2013, The Maine released its fourth full-length album, Forever Halloween, which was recorded live through analog tape without the use of computer editing techniques which have become the standard in modern recordings. This gave the album an energy that cannot be captured any other way than five people performing in a room together. To celebrate its year anniversary, The Maine will release a deluxe edition of the record on June 17.

Meanwhile, O’Callaghan is working on writing tracks for the next album by

The Maine.

“I have songs and pieces of songs,” he says. “That’s usually kind of the way that we run things. I’ll start to collect and record some ideas. Once it comes down to a time when we have nothing on our plate, and we know we’re going to record, that’s when I bring the stuff to the rest of the guys. We turn on record mode. Right now I’m piecing stuff together on my own.

A couple months down the road we’ll sit down and start to think of a new album.”

First, however, there’s Warped and then a European tour.

“Come fall, we’ll do a headliner over there (Europe) and then we’re figuring out what we’re going to do in the fall in the States,” he says.

“The fall is such a weird touring time, just because everybody’s going to be out on the road. We’re going to take a little bit of time to figure out the particulars. That’s been our mantra since day one. Once you have an album or EP out, you want to play it for people. We’re at a stage now—10 years—where we really enjoy being on the road. Hopefully, we win people over while we’re playing for them. We put on a highenergy solid performance.”

Fans can expect nothing less at Warped.

“I’m very, very excited,” he says. “We were just talking about it today. It’s one of those things where we have a bus full of friends. We’re bringing out a couple of our other buddies to do odd-end jobs.

“We already know what to expect as far as the heat is concerned. But the feeling of fraternity that we’re going to have is pretty awesome. I know the vibe on the bus is going to be positive and optimistic, despite the bad weather. That’s something we can all get past together.”

Concert Calendar

Courtesy Guided by Voices

Guided by Voices is also guided by beer Ana Anguiano • College Times The legendary and prolific rockers Guided by Voices are coming to town and they are ready to rock your face off while they drink theirs away. It’s been a busy year for the band and they just released their second album of the year, Cool Planet, which is the band’s sixth album since they reunited in 2011.

College Times got a chance to chat with GBV guitarist Mitch Mitchell about their show and got an inside peek at what former White House press secretary Jay Carney is all about.

College Times: What’s it like releasing two albums in one year?

Mitchell: As crazy as it might sound, it’s not that hectic. We have plenty of time between recording sessions and things like that. It’s not like we’re in there doing them back-to-back. It was actually a pretty relaxed session for Cool Planet.

We had the studio booked and we went in there and worked. It was some of the coldest days of the year so we pretty much stayed inside and kept working at it. Occasionally we’d step outside to smoke a cigarette or whatever but it turned out really well. That session is one of the better ones we’ve had.

Do you get nostalgic about how you use to record back in the day?

You mean when we’re doing stuff in a big studio as opposed to a 4-track recording? Well, we approach it similarly. We just get in there and have some beers and bang ‘em out, you know. Bob (Pollard) has an idea for a song that we’re just looking to lay [it]

down and go from there. The only real change is there’s more equipment to mess with and microphones to hook up, but other than that it’s pretty much the same deal. We have a good thing going so we just keep with it and don’t change it too much.

What’s the key to killing it on stage?

I think our main concern with that is just to make sure there’s plenty of beer.

If the beer runs out I think we’ll all just drop over, so we’ve got to keep that beer coming man and we’ll keep going.

Crack the bottles and drink up! [Laughs] What’s the best beer to have on stage?

[Now former] White House press secretary Jay Carney is a big fan and was at one of your shows recently.

Yeah, he was in DC and actually introduced us and hung out for a little while, had a couple beers with us, talked to us and brought his son, who is a GBV fan and also plays in a cover band. They do a couple GBV songs in their set. It was really awesome to meet him and his son. He’s a really nice guy and it’s good to have good friends like that on your side.

Concert Calendar

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Nick Hexum has come a long way since his days as an indie musician in Omaha, Nebraska. Fronting the reggaerock band 311 since 1988, Hexum looked back at his career as his band prepared to play a televised “Guitar Center Sessions” in Hollywood.

“It’s crazy,” Hexum says during a recent phone interview. “When I moved out to L.A. by myself when I was 17 in 1988, I worked at that very Guitar Center. That’ll be kind of cool to have a concert there.”

The concert is set to air in mid-July on DIRECTV and AXS TV. Back in the day, as 311 picked up steam, Hexum explains, Arizona was one of the first markets to really embrace the act.

“I remember when we put out ‘Do You Right’ in 1993, our very first single,” says Hexum. “That particular song blew up in Phoenix, so then we were able to go and play all the major markets throughout Arizona. Sometimes—for whatever reason—it’s not always on our regular tour rotation. But (Talking Stick) sounds like a great place to have a show.”

Before the summer tour began, Hexum spoke to College Times about the annual “311 Day,” his band’s latest album Stereolithic and releasing records on his own label.

College Times: So you just celebrated “311 Day,” when you played 66 songs— some of which with an orchestra—over five hours in New Orleans. How do you prepare for something like that?

Hexum: I had to be in great shape. [Laughs] We had almost a month of rehearsals to make sure we were ready. People travel from all over the world for “311 Day,” so

311 brings the love back to Phoenix we dusted off certain songs we haven’t played in a long time. We even managed to find songs we never played before. But (the show) was the big excitement. We’re chilling a little bit now before we head out on a full year of touring and promotion.

How does it feel to play that long of a set?

It’s such an adrenaline rush. I didn’t get tired until afterward. I was totally beat. I indulged in some pizza afterward.

The concert was in support of Stereolithic, your ninth consecutive Top 10 chart debut. Congratulations about that.

Yeah, it feels really good—especially because we released it on our own independent record label (311 Records).

The last time it was semi-independent. It was a 50-50 joint venture. This time it’s on our own label. Now we know for sure that we can put out our own albums and even have a career regardless of the whims of radio and press. It feels really good.

How does it feel to have your own label?

It’s been empowering to be able to plan the rollout of the album exactly how we wanted. It feels really good. We’ve always had this feeling of having to beg the record company to do it like we wanted.

Now there’s no middle man. We can represent ourselves exactly how we want.

Definitely stoked for that.

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Known for its soaring, cinematic songs like “The Nurse Who Loved Me,” the alternative rock band Failure collapsed due to personal differences and drug use soon after the release of its most successful album, 1996’s Fantastic Planet.

But unexpectedly, Failure tested the reunion waters by scheduling a show at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on February 13. It sold out quickly and the band soon jumped on an arena tour by longtime friends Tool. The jaunt—featuring the “classic lineup” of Greg Edwards, Ken Andrews and Kellii Scott—included a gig at US Airways Center in Phoenix.

Failure is now out on its own headlining run and plays the Marquee Theatre in Tempe on Friday, June 13. With a voice hoarse from rehearsals, Andrews, a successful producer who turned the knobs for Paramore’s self-titled 2013 album, spoke to College Times.

College Times: What brought about the reunion?

Andrews: It was a combination of Greg and I rekindling our friendship and just constantly hearing from friends and acquaintances and strangers, “You guys should reform the band.” So we decided, “Let’s announce one show and see what happens.” It sold out in a couple minutes.

That’s kind of why we’re here. We both had our first kids within the same year of each other and that made a big impact on us, too—being new dads.

You must be pleased that Failure is

Failure seeks redemption with reunion tour

on the track to success again.

It ended badly in ’97 with drug problems and stuff, now we’re all cleaned up married with kids. All of us did music the whole time as our main livelihood. We’re still active in that whole world. Basically Greg and I, when we started entertaining the idea of doing it, we didn’t want this to be a bad situation where you’re a shadow of yourself in terms of playing live. We did writing experiments early on to see if we could satisfy ourselves with what we can do now 15 years later, all that entails. We dug it that’s why we have a new song. We’re putting on a tour-exclusive EP, with a new studio song on there. We’re also going to play another new song that we’re about to record.

Why was it important to do this tour?

We needed to have some closure on the first three records. We wanted to play a satisfying set before we go out and tour, trying to play the new songs more. That’s where we are.

So, I have to ask, do you play “The Nurse Who Loved Me” live?

We pretty much play that at every show.

It really is important now because Greg is playing piano on it. It’s kind of a pianodriven song, if you listen to the record. We never did it with piano when we toured with Fantastic Planet in ’97. We just did it with guitars. It feels more true to the song now.

How to play ‘Always Sunny’s’ CharDee MacDennis: The Game of Games Christina Caldwell• College Times The characters on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” are notoriously self-centered.

They’re also notoriously drunk, so it would make perfect sense that they would create a horrifically dangerous drinking game centered around their own personal weaknesses that tests (and crosses) the boundaries of friendship.

The game is CharDee MacDennis, a blend of all of the gang’s names, which is broken down into three levels: mind, body and soul.

We can’t in good conscience allow you to play the game as is (it would result in hospitalization), so we’ve adapted it into a safer (but still not totally safe) drinking game that you and your friends can play in the air conditioning.

Disclaimer: We suggest you only play this one with really close friends.

Otherwise you might not be friends at the end of it.

The Necessities: • Beer, wine and the hard liquor of your choice.

• Cheese.

• The “chance” cards from a game of Monopoly.

• Personalized game pieces. Dee and Dennis pasted their faces on old Barbies.

Charlie and Mac used an old, grubby figurine of a military man (maybe Hitler?) and a hulking monster, respectively.

34

JUNE 12 - JUNE 25, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Create your own. Get real weird with it.

• Mind, body and soul cards. Mind cards should include brain-ticklers like trivia and puzzles, and “artistry,” which is what the player must draw on the back of their teammate and their teammate must guess what the art is based solely on feel. Body cards include feats of strength, like when the gang draws a card and is forced to fit as many grapes in their mouths as possible within a certain time frame. Spirit cards should include two kinds, emotional battery and public humiliation. Public humiliation cards are essentially dares. Emotional battery cards are used to indicate when it’s time to berate the person who draws it. It should be “deeply personal” stuff that “cuts to the core.”

• A timer.

• A plastic tarp.

Keep in Mind: 1. You should mix the Monopoly cards in randomly with the separate piles of mind, body and soul cards. Stick the three sections in a cardboard box, but be sure to keep them separate.

2. You cannot ask questions, and if you do, your team needs to drink for five seconds.

You can ask questions during the two minute break between levels.

3. Once one of the obstacles on the cards is accomplished, the other team must drink. If the obstacle goes unfinished, you have to drink.

4. Cheating is not only accepted but tolerated, though the other team shouldn’t know they’re being tricked. If a team is caught cheating, the other team immediately moves to the next level.

5. If you draw the “Chance: Go to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200” card, you’ll be forced into a confined space (the show used a dog kennel). You can only be let out if you eat a cake. Nay, the ingredients of a cake. (Skip the raw eggs for this one.)

6. It’s possible for one team to be at one level and the other to be at another. Once one team collects three cards from that level, they move onto the next. The first team to collect cards from all levels wins.

The Wine and Cheese Reception The wine and cheese reception is your chance to be civilized and clear the air for the disgusting debauchery is about to take place. The reception only allows kind comments and high brow discussion. This will only last for two minutes. After the two minutes, the team smashes their wine glasses and does an intimidating dance, similar to the war dance of the Maori people of New Zealand, the haka. We suggest you use plastic cups for this one.

And for good measure, put down a plastic tarp ala Dexter.

Once you’re done, divide yourselves into two teams and draw your first card from the “mind” pile.

Level 1: Mind This is the wine level. The trivia in this round is left to totally subjective questions (Q: “What is the greatest band in the world?” A: “Chumbawumba.” Q: “Dennis is asshole. Why Charlie hate?” A: “Because Dennis is a bastard man!”) If you answer wrongly, you drink. If you get it correct, the other team drinks. Try to get creative with this one. As your drawing up your cards, make sure it has questions that no one can reasonably answer with an educated guess. For artistry cards, choose subjects and concepts that are nearly impossible to draw.

Level 2: Body This is the beer level, and is all about physical endurance. Also, there’s no cursing in this round, so you’ll have to swap out your favorite curse words for PG versions. If you curse, your team drinks.

In this round, an example is when Dennis is forced to put his hand on a dart board and let the other team throw darts around his hand without flinching. This is, of course, really stupid, so think of some physical feats that won’t result in loss of nerve function.

Level 3: Spirit This is the hard liquor level. Otherwise known as emotional battery, this is where you’ll break your opponent’s spirit so that they’re no longer able to play. Dee is a master at this part of the game since she’s often at the butt end of the gang’s jokes.

In fact, she’s so used to it, that she once “held it together without a single tear” during the game, then “cried for a month straight” once it was over.

Really, you should keep this section lighthearted. Maybe there’s something you know your friend is insecure about, but still OK with joking about it every once in a while. You should probably reserve what you actually think about them and their character for, I don’t know, never.

The alternative is to only include public humiliation, or dare cards. This way you can embarrass your opponent but not ruin their self-esteem. Think of some out-of-thebox ones and nab those last three cards on your way to victory! If a team can’t complete their challenge, they take a shot.

The Win The winners of the game get to smash the other team’s game pieces and get bragging rights for life.

Obvious Child

ACourtesy of A24

Jenny Slate comes to the showbiz forefront in ‘Obvious Child’ Christina Caldwell • College Times With side roles on shows like “Parks and Recreation,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Kroll Show” and “House of Lies,” Jenny Slate has the comedian thing down pat, but with her newest film and first starring role, the “SNL” ex-pat comes front and center, showing off a sensitive side to the quirky, squeaky, and intelligently crude Slate we already know and love in “Obvious Child.”

College Times spoke with Slate and Gillian Robespierre, “Obvious Child” director and comedian, about their refreshing take on the romantic comedy.

(Hint: It involves abortion.)

College Times: Jenny, you play the character of Donna very convincingly. How closely do you actually relate to her?

Slate: I have a similar sense of humor and I relate to being vulnerable at times while still having that sense of humor, but we are different. But yeah, we definitely relate to each other with that sense of humor, which is good. I think that’s good.

I think Donna’s uncertainty about life is something a lot of 20-somethings experience. Is that something you’ve both felt personally?

Robespierre: Yes. [Laughs] I think in your 20’s there a lot of funky terrain, and with a lot of romantic comedies, the late-20’s heroine, she’s someone who doesn’t have

her shit together but still lives in a giant loft and wears fancy footwear. And that’s not something that either of us can relate to or what is authentic or what it’s really, really like, so we created Donna.

The idea of the tortured comedian is one we see a lot in pop culture in shows like “Louie” and “Maron,” and in a different way, in this film, too.

Do you find that the comedians you come across in real life are these same sorts of tragic characters?

Robespierre: Well, I think when we were writing Donna as a comedian, we didn’t want to make it a movie about a tortured comedian. It’s really about a woman going through these moments in her life, big or small. The job of her being a comedian was sort of a secondary job because it’s just a great arena to have this character sort of vomit out all of her emotions and feelings in such a confident way that she couldn’t do off stage. So it was mostly just sort of a veil for us [to portray the character]. It’s not really a movie about a comedian, I don’t think.

Slate: No, no I don’t either. And I don’t find that a lot of the comedians I know are tortured in the stereotypical way. I feel like that’s really interesting, so people want to play that character and look for it, but I think the fact [is] that comedy and tragedy go hand in hand. You know, there’s a synergy between them.

Going on that, the film is sort of

equal parts tragedy and comedy, and Jenny, you flow between them pretty seamlessly. Did you train for that, or was it something that came naturally?

Slate: Yeah, I mean, I’d say the movie is equally funny and poignant, rather than tragedy, and I’d definitely avoid using that word because people use it a lot when referring to unexpected pregnancy, and Donna, she doesn’t suffer any tragedy at all. For me, I didn’t train at all, and I didn’t go to theater school or anything, but I have experience acting and as a young kid I always tried to do it.

But I felt pretty closely connected to the character and with the script. I got into it pretty easily. The same things I used for the comedy [scenes], I also used for the sensitive scenes, because I think comedy also comes from being sensitive.

I would say that the best part of this film is that the writing seems so organic. Were any of Donna’s lines improved or was it mostly scripted?

Slate: The movie is mostly scripted, but Gillian is a wonderful director for many reasons, but one of them is that she’s not precious with what she’s written and she’s open minded. So you have many moments that if we felt like something wasn’t exactly how we wanted it to be, we would adjust. It was a really collaborative process, but no, it’s not an improvised movie. It’s Gillian’s script. We did a little bit of improvising off of something that Gillian wrote, so yes, there’s improvising in the stand-up bits.

Starring Jenny Slate, Jake Lacy, Gaby Hoffman, David Cross Directed

by Gillian Robespierre Limited release beginning in June 9, 2014

Donna Stern is the kind of chick most 20-somethings would want to be friends with, but not for the same reasons that endear you to most movie characters. She’s flawed, and it’s apparent the first time we meet her, but the ability to deal with the obstacles that come her way, both internal and external, are part of what makes her so realistic and human—a feat that took the flick from being a small, virtually unknown indie flick to Sundance darling, to fully released widespread rom-com.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think that Donna is Jenny Slate, who plays Stern in the film. With its organic script by writer and director Gillian Robespierre, the movie could easily be misconstrued as primarily improv. Instead, it was a collaborative effort with the entire talented cast.

Donna is nearly 30, directionless and moves from unfulfilling relationship to unfulfilling relationship, much to her successful mother’s distaste. She deals with her personal life’s shortcomings with cathartic sets on stage as a standup comedian.

After a disastrous show, she meets vanilla good guy Max (Lacy), who’s a far cry from the typical shower-phobic, commitment-phobic, monogamy-phobic dudes she’s dated in the past. But he’s not out to “fix” her. He’s fond of her quirks. But when she gets pregnant the first night they meet (Not a spoiler! They show it in the trailer.), she struggles with contacting him again to tell him.

For all of the cliché tropes this movie comes close to fulfilling, the sincerity of the script consistently pulls the film through the typical. Slate handles the script with the self-assuredness that Donna wishes she had.

The powerful, raw emotion and trueto-life friendships might just make this the best indie flick of 2014, and put Jenny Slate at the forefront of casting directors’ minds when it comes to casting the next big budget film.

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Things that usually come easily and quickly for the Aries Lamb might need more of your time and attention during the next several days. Try to be patient as you work things out.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Being the dependable person you are could work in your favor for a project that requires both skill and accountability. But check this out carefully. There could be a hidden downside.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A changing situation can create some complications. But if you apply that sensible Bovine mind to what seems to be a hopeless tangle of confusion, you’ll soon sort things out.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A temperamental outburst about a mishandled project causes some fallout. Be sure to couple an apology with an explanation. A new opportunity beckons by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a new look for your surroundings is fun.

Expect to hear mostly positive comments on your efforts, as well as some well-intended suggestions you might want to note.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Changing horses midstream is usually unwise but sometimes necessary. Examine your options carefully before making a decision. A trusted colleague offers good advice.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Maybe you’d rather do anything else than what you’re “stuck with” right now. But if you stop complaining, you might see how this could lead to something with real potential.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While much of your time is involved with business matters, fun-time opportunities open up by week’s end.

Enjoy yourself, but be careful that you don’t overspend.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Even a proud Leo ultimately recovers from hurt feelings. However, a damaged relationship might never heal unless you’re willing to spend more time and effort trying to work things out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) There are lots of changes on the horizon, so be prepared to make some adjustments in your usually fine-tuned life. One change might even impact a personal decision you’ve been putting off.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A “revelation” opens your eyes to what is really going on in the workplace. What you learn could make a difference in your career path. Continue to be alert for more news.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Not wanting to make waves might be the safest way to deal with a difficult situation. But no substantive changes can be made unless you share your assessments with others.
