yEars young is how old the United States of America is turning this year on July 4.

World Cup? That’s cool. We still kick a lot of tail in all the other sports we are awesome at. Don’t like our president?

That’s fine. He’s still a babe and we live in a country that blessed us with The Rock and Andrew WK. Unhappy with the finale of “How I Met Your Mother”? That’s what happens when you invest a lot of time in a show that can’t meet everyone’s expectations.

So with our nation’s birthday right around the corner we want to make sure you make the most of the holiday. We have all the best places to catch some fireworks (P. 8), some tasty red, white and blue recipes (P. 10), and a shopping wishlist as bold and beautiful as it gets (P.24).

We also witnessed plenty of fireworks when we interviewed Eric Bana and Joel McHale about their new movie (P. 32).

There are also plenty of things to do around town. We suggest attending The

prospective recruits for the US Army in Phoenix have been denied enlistment because of new prohibitions in their regulations. Tattoos on a soldier’s head, face, neck, wrists, hands and fingers are forbidden as of March 31.

Sail Inn Farewell Festival (P. 31) and if you want to dive into the local music scene further, we’ve got you covered with a local music cheat sheet (P.28). Mayhem Fest is also upon us, so if you need to rock harder than your peers, we understand.

We chatted with Asking Alexandria about what happens when you rock a little too hard (P.30).

Overall it’s a good time to be alive, and even thought the summer heat is beating down on us mercilessly, we can’t help but be totally stoked about pool weather and get togethers with family and friends. We hope you make the most of your summer before school picks up again. It’ll be back before you know it.

So have a frosty brew for us,

Student Life >>> Barbara Hinske with her husband, Brian Willis, added a Little Free Library outside her downtown Phoenix home.

HOW T O:

Drink without getting a hangover

Take two generic multivitamins and wash them down with the ton of water.

Drinking depletes the vitamins in your system, which is what gives you a hangover.

Little Free Libraries putting books just down the street in Phoenix Brittany Elena Morris • Cronkite News Service The structure outside Barbara Hinske’s downtown home looks like a fancy birdhouse. But instead of being littered with bird seed it’s brimming with books.

Dubbed Hinske Hall, it’s one of a growing number of Little Free Libraries decorating dozens of front lawns, storefronts and parks around Arizona, connecting to an international movement that encourages neighborhoods to share books.

“My little library is so much more than these two shelves; it’s a reading community,” says Hinske, a writer.

More than 50 titles jam the shelves.

Hinske says the most popular are “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and the children’s picture book “My First Plane Ride.” Audio books and magazines are also available to borrow.

Little Free Libraries can look like houses, animals or any other object that can hold and protect books from the elements. Hinske’s is a mini-mansion with a granite exterior, marble front door and a little window with a dog looking out.

6

JUNE 26 - JULY 23, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Anyone can visit Hinske’s Little Free library, she says. The concept is simple: take a book, leave a book.

The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 in Wisconsin, according to littlefreelibrary.org. Since then, Little Free Libraries have graced front yards in Honduras, Uganda, Pakistan and elsewhere.

“I think it’s the new frontier for reading,” Hinske says.

Ann Boles, president of the Arizona Library Association, refers to them endearingly as “mini-me.”

“Arizona has great libraries, but having little libraries in neighborhoods for easy access is going to guarantee that more people are reading,” Boles says. “That makes me happy.”

Outside Nancy Klatt’s uptown Phoenix home, kids meet around the bench right next to her blue Little Free Library to read after school. During the spring, they sprawl on the grass and up against a tree and read into the evening. She brings them lemonade.

“I’ll look out my window and they’re reading ‘Angelina Ballerina’ to one another and giggling,” Klatt says.

The tale about a small dancing mouse going to the national dance finals has

always been the neighborhood’s favorite, Klatt added.

“Being outside makes reading fun for them,” she says. “Sometimes I catch girls twirling on my lawn.”

In the East Valley, Virginia Lewis designed and painted her Little Free Library to look like her house in Mesa.

She visits with whomever she sees perusing the shelves and once had a visitor from Madison, Wisconsin.

“Everyone can be so closed off now,” Lewis says. “Neighbors just get in their cars and drive away.”

Lewis says her little library has helped her get to know people she would have never met otherwise.

“It’s so exciting to share my simple love for the smell of books and turning pages,” she says.

At Hinske Hall, established a year ago, children ride their bikes after school to explore new titles, runners break midstride to peruse and commuters at the bus stop take something along for the ride. Each time is an opportunity for Hinske to create a new friend in a fellow reader.

“Being a part of your community and reading good books at the same time.

That’s what it’s all about,” Hinske says.

Get your drink on.

Shots, beer, wine...whatever! Just be sure to stick to one thing and avoid sugary drinks.

Drink lots of water throughout the night.

Never be without a glass of water in front of you.

Get a full night’s sleep.

Go to work or school in the morning with your superiors none the wiser.

“How are you keeping cool this summer?”

Jessica Hostetler “By being in the swimming pool as often as I can!”

STUDENT LIFE >>>

Maria Portillo • College Times Forget about all the movies you have seen portraying summer school as a hostile, hot environment with unsavory characters just waiting to spoil your day.

Make this summer the best one yet, even if you have to go to school.

This is an opportunity to take advantage of your stay-cation to the max! Really get involved with your community! You are so lucky to be in Phoenix this summer, whether you believe it or not, because it’s such a vibrant place to really explore this summer.

Day Trippin’

Make day trips your best friend. Buy Groupons and explore what you like, because it’s out there. If you can’t leave for more than a few hours before getting back to class, go out and have an on-thecheap adventure before getting back to the grind. Go ice skating, horseback riding, paintballing or go-kart racing.

Teach Yo Self

Since, you’re not going anywhere, take this summer to work on a project you’ve been putting off during the school year.

Maybe it’s redecorating your room or learning how to play that guitar. You know, all of those gradiose ideas you get when it’s 3 a.m. Make a goal, and work toward it. Take advantage of the free time and work on those goals, whether you want to come back to school in the fall with a great physique or knowing a little bit of Portuguese, set time aside to self-improve.

Work on something for you!

Dive In

This one is a no brainer, but pool time often gets neglected. Have a pool? Use it!

This is a great free hangout that all your friends can come and enjoy. Just lay by the pool and relax. Ahhhh… Remember, the key to not getting bored is to get creative with your activities. So chicken fight, play Marco Polo, or buy a disposable waterproof camera and have an underwater photo shoot.

Play Foodie

Distract yourself with food. If there is something Phoenix is known for, it’s fine dining! No, really. Phoenix and the Valley land on all sorts of top ten lists of foodie cities. Try all the restaurants you have been putting off. Branch out to different ethnic foods. Now is the time! When you are not in class, splurge and treat yourself to a few good meals and remind yourself how lucky you are to be here.

Nevermind, Just Stay In

Finally, catch up on all the Netflix you haven’t seen all school year. Look for more shows since you have extra time. Let’s face it, summer school is kind of a bummer, but not as much as real school since your time is more flexible. So do all regular things you do during the school year and all the things you don’t get to do! Pat yourself on the back because you are a trooper, but don’t feel to sorry for yourself. This is the time to enjoy what Phoenix has to offer and do all the things you don’t get to do normally.

Summer School Cheat Sheet: How to have fun while still buckling down

My First Time ...

Learn to love push-ups?

No way.

... with a personal trainer Ana Anguiano • College Times I am not the kind of person that attends a gym. I hardly even work out or even consider working out.

I just shuffle my butt from one airconditioned room to another and hope they all have Wi-Fi. The only real reason I even considered getting a personal trainer was a sweet Groupon offer and some rare moment of weakness.

My trainer is a really nice guy. He’s unbelievably in shape and covered in what I’m assuming are really edgy and tasteful tattoos. (I only look at him with panic in my eyes so the details of his body art elude me.)

I am completely out of my element when we are working out together and I know that he knows that I have never done any of the things he asks me to do. But bless his heart, the guy is nothing but encouraging and motivating. I wish I was the kind of person that enjoyed exercising because I think we would both be having a much better time.

Having a personal trainer is like all the worst parts of dating where someone sees you without makeup and soaked in sweat (amounts of which you never have had to deal with in a public setting). You are also kind of trying to impress the other person but at the same time it’s like, “Sorry, this is all I’ve got. Yeah, this is really it.”

There is no easy way to admit that I only took about three steps outside

and into the parking lot after my first session when I ate pavement. My legs noped right out from under me and I cut up my knees and scraped my hands.

The sheer embarrassment propelled me into my car and up the stairs into my apartment where I had to spend several days re-learning to walk. That time was also spent realizing what a huge mistake I had made.

Going back a few days later was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Our sessions are in the morning before I go to work, which means I have to shower in the gym. I never did sports in school so showering in a locker room with other naked ladies was brandspanking-new to me. But that’s a story for another time.

Everything about going to a gym and working with a trainer feels utterly wrong to me. I want to go back to being fat and happy and worrying about stairs only when I’ve had too many deliciously calorie-riddled stouts.

My out-of-shape adult body is barely hanging on and I wish I could say that I feel some sort of accomplishment, but I really don’t. I’m keeping with it because I paid money for my sessions and I’m a cheap gal at heart, but the entire time my insides are screaming “mercy.” I suppose my life span is being extended or whatever, but at what cost? I don’t think I’ve ever made my body do this much for me and I’m currently awaiting its revenge.

COLLEGE Kitchen:

‘Merican Eats

Christina Caldwell • College Times One of the best things about America is the multitude of ethnic influences that find themselves in our food. It’s also one of the downsides, as there are very few dishes that are fully “American.” Most are influenced by other cultures, so if someone from another country asked to sample our truly American, we’d have to ask them the big question—“Hamburger or hot dog?” But we don’t mind other cultures influencing our food. After all, America is all about “the more the merrier.”

Potato salad for daaaaays. If you make this recipe as prepared, you’ll be eating like a king for a week. Start by boiling 10 red potatoes for approximately 20 minutes, or until softened but firm, and chop into cubes once cooled. Hard boil 6 eggs for 13 minutes, peel once cooled, chop up and add to potato bowl. Chop one onion and add to the same bowl. Then add 1/2 ranch, 1/3 cup relish, 1 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon paprika and 1/8 teaspoon celery seed, then stir, stir, stir until fully mixed. The celery seed gives this recipe a little extra oomph, and it tastes a trillion times better than that crap you buy in a tub at the store.

Impress your friends with your creativity, and it’s all as easy as cake. First, whip together and cook a box of yellow cake mix per the manufacturer’s instructions. (Note: Different manufacturers might also require vegetable oil and eggs to prepare the cake.) Let the cake cool once cooked. Once cooled, frost the cake with a full standard sized tub of whipped topping. Slice the stem end off the strawberries, then in half lengthwise. Assemble the “flag” by spacing blueberries just far enough that they create white “stars” in the frosting. Finish by lining strawberries in four to five rows to the right and bottom of the blueberries.

Student Voices Has soccer finally ‘made it’ in America?

Coming from El Salvador, I find myself split between cultures.

I grew up in El Salvador until the age of six, and my parents were Maria Portillo born and raised there. Now in World Cup season, I find myself facing obvious cultural differences yet again, starting with soccer.

Growing up in a Hispanic household, I’ve watched every World Cup since I can remember. That is all my family talks about and watches for that entire month until the next one comes around. (Yes, really. Four years.) OK, so technically we never stop talking about it. It is our Super Bowl, but bigger.

So I always wondered, if that’s all I talk to my family about, why does no one else have soccer fever here in the U.S.?

Some people say that there is no room for soccer in America—there are already four major sports, along with the “lesser” sports such as golf and tennis. One theory is that in past American history, our forefathers rejected the British-created

football and made their own version.

Maybe the issue is MLS. Major League Soccer players compared to the high-quality soccer from EPL, Serie A and other leagues.

It could even be simply that Americans think soccer is boring to watch.

The fact that soccer is so low scoring actually makes it intense. There is strategy in every pass, in every position. Is it the media’s lack of excitement that makes the U.S. so indifferent? Why does the biggest sports country in the world seem to express little interest in the biggest sport around the globe?

I don’t know, but I do know things are changing. ESPN published a report in 2011 that showed soccer is the second-most popular sport among fans 12 to 24, just behind American football. The report also showed that pro soccer is the favorite sport of the country’s Hispanic population, noting an overall growth of the sport’s popularity in the U.S. Our generation is starting to embrace this worldwide sport.

Some friends are revealing to me only now that they are soccer fans and that it didn’t come up in conversation enough for them to ever tell me before. Soccer is now a part of our conversation. The major four sports still dominate fans’ mindsets and probably will for a while. But soccer, in its own special way, has arrived for the casual sports fan. It’s become something major

STREET TEAM SHOT

The College Times street team went out to the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix on June 13 through 15, and it was too spooky! But in the best kind of way. We caught up with this ghouls and goblins, along with Elvira, Roddy Piper, Brad Dourif and other freaky celebrities that gave us a fright for our money. It was a super unique event that we, and probably these freaks, hope comes around again next year!

and significant in this country. And the cool part is that it’s not isolated to one league. From national teams to European clubs to college squads, the soccer scene is vibrant and alive.

With our age group so fixated on the sport, it only means there’s room for soccer to grow and raise itself to the next

level, and with that there is something bigger. There is a willingness to connect to all different kinds of cultures. There is not only a comradery between all soccer sports fans, but an understanding between cultures.

Our generation has power to connect with the world through one universal sport.

Lawyer wants Arizona servers and bartenders to know their rights

Salt River Tubing celebrates summer with a slew of events

Ana Anguiano • College Times If you have ever worked in the service industry, you know all too well the ups and downs that come with the job. Working for less than minimum wage ($7.90/ hour in Arizona) and counting on tips to supplement a paycheck can be brutal, but in some cases employers completely take advantage of their already underpaid employees.

Clifford Bendau at Bendau Law Firm works to recover unpaid wages that are owed to servers, bartenders and anyone else who is a minimum wage employee.

Bendau says that no matter what employers say, workers are required to be paid for every second they work, and just because employers don’t want to pay overtime doesn’t alleviate their obligation to do so.

Under the law there is what’s called a “tip credit,” which allows employers to pay Arizona servers, bartenders and other tipped employees up to $3 less than minimum wage to perform their jobs—as long as their tips make up the difference.

But that does not account for side work before or after a shift, which can include rolling silverware, stocking and restocking, or cleaning off the clock.

“When that side work begins to exceed 20 percent of your shift time, it looks more like you’re being hired as a janitor and being paid half as much. You’re entitled to be paid the full minimum wage rather than the lower server wage,” Bendau says.

State and Federal law states that you may collect these unpaid wages from any previous employer within the last three years, and you may be entitled to receive up to twice the amount owed to you, and that includes attorney fees.

Clifford Bendau.

When Bendau makes a demand on employers, he either settles or files lawsuits for the unpaid wages, but his services cost nothing out of pocket and all consultations are free.

Bendau says a lot of his clients are students or very young, and if/when they spoke up about extra side work being unfair managers would just claim “that’s how it’s done,” which Bendau calls “incredibly illegal.”

“If you’re going to pay less than minimum wage you better do it right. You better follow all the rules, dot your I’s, cross your T’s, and make sure your doing it right because most of my clients are making less than minimum wage and it’s outrageous,” he says.

For Bendau, recovering wages for employees that have been duped hits close to home.

“I’ve been a server, I’ve been a pizza delivery guy, and I worked for minimum wage and less, and the idea that the companies I worked for, which are massive corporations, are skimming a few dollars off my salary to keep for themselves is maddening,” he says. “The law allowing restaurants to pay less than minimum wage is designed so a burgeoning restaurant can begin to blossom, not so a massive company can come in and help themselves to an extra $3 an hour a pop.”

College Times Staff The biggest bummer about summer in the Valley is that it makes it nearly impossible to get your party on outside.

Unless you’re staying up all night to get your drink on, odds are you won’t be braving the scorching summer temperatures the desert has to send your way.

Well, unless you’re on The Salt River.

Arizona’s more natural lazy river is a Valley summer icon meant for good times with friends, basking in the sun and showing off those swimsuit bods. (Or, if you’re like us, your 2XL men’s large T-shirt bod, which covers up your easily burnt swimsuit bod.)

Salt River Tubing reopened for the season in April, which marked more than just the beginning of another summer for President/CEO Henri Breault. It marks his 50th year in tubing.

“Tubing has been in my blood for decades,” Breault says. “What a way to make a living...watching people having fun in the sun and enjoying the great outdoors. I truly feel that I have never worked a day in my life.”

In 1938, the Breault family launched one of the first tubing operations in the United States on the Apple River in Somerset, Wisconsin. In 1941, Terrace Tubes was featured as a unique recreation experience in Life Magazine, as well as National Geographic, The New York Times, Time and Playboy.

Breault took over management of Terrace Tubes in 1964 and successfully ran the business for 16 years before relocating to Mesa in 1980.

This summer—like every tubing season—Salt River Tubing has a slew of events scheduled.

Fourth of July weekend is going to be a blast. SRT will honor the United States with “Bag It for Bucks: Take Pride in America” event from Friday, July 4, through Sunday, July 6, so don your best American flag bikini or boxers (or T-shirt.

We’re not above it.) and put your patoot in a tube.

Salt River Tubing might not be open come October 31, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate O’Hallows river style.

Their Halloween event will take place on July 19, when thousands of costumed tubers will make their way down the river.

Don’t forget to dress up for Mardi Gras on August 16 and Hawaiian Hula on September 13.

Make sure you go prepared! Alcohol is permitted on the river, but it must be stored in non-glass containers. And here’s a little pro tip for you: If you plan on bringing a big crew, rent and extra tube for your best friend—the cooler. That way your raft won’t be occupied with containers and you can splish splash with a few hundred of your closest friends.

You don’t have to wait until the weekend to get your river on. Head out any day of the week. In fact, it’s best to beat the crowds during the work week, so embrace your summer break freedom and get out there.

Salt River Tubing, 9200 N. Bush Highway, Mesa, 480.984.3305, saltrivertubing.com, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., last tube rental at 2:30 p.m., $17 per person incl. tube

6 cool spots to satisfy your sweet tooth this summer Maria Portillo • College Times When you live in a place that’s essentially an oven, the only way to survive is to stay in and fatten up with some cold treats.

Here is your fix to this hot weather and your sweet tooth.

Paletas Betty

This extra cute spot on Mill Avenue specializes in Mexican “paletas,” aka popsicles. Betty Alatorre de Hong (a multicultural name if we’ve ever heard one!) makes everything from scratch, using ripe fruit, fresh-ground spices and homemade flavorings from around the world. The strawberries and cream, caramel-rum Bananas Foster and tangy lime pie will make you wish summer would last forever. 96 W. Boston Street, Chandler, 480.779.8080; 425 S. Mill Avenue, Tempe, 480.779.8080, paletasbetty.com, hours vary by store

That’s Amore

There’s no doubt about it—it’s love at first bite. How can resist these intense gelato flavors, whipped up by two Italian families from Milano? Among the best are hazelnut, coffee, chocolate, dulce de leche, and of course, caramel. 7605 E. Pinnacle Peak Road, Scottsdale, 480.419.6280, thatsamoregelato.com, open Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Scottsdale ranked second-best ‘foodie’ city in U.S. in new survey

Snoh Ice Shavery

Seriously, WTF is “snoh?” Called “bao bing” in China, this Asian ice treat is a surprisingly indulgent experience. It’s a cross between ice cream and shaved ice—fluffy and creamy. First you choose a flavor like taro, thai red tea or mango. Then you choose a topping like red bean, mocha balls or lychee fruit. Finally you choose a glaze, like caramel, condensed milk, or black sesame cream. It’s offbeat, but very refreshing.

914 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix, 888.488.1693, snoh-ice.com, open Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Mary Coyle

The most experienced ice cream makers in the Valley have been in business 62 years and still continue to serve up delicious treats. We’re waaaay into it. Don’t attempt to climb the monstrous mountain—seven pounds of ice cream, four toppings, nuts and whipped cream—without lots of help.

5521 N. Seventh Avenue, Phoenix, 602.265.6266, marycoyle.net, open Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Sweet Republic

Coconut sorbet or salted butter caramel?

Sweet Republic ice cream flavors that will have you drooling from the first bite. The hardest part might is choosing a flavor.

Central Phoenix is the lucky host of this delicious sweet spot with creative creations like the campfire s’more sundae. 6054 N. 16th Street, Phoenix, 602.535.5990, sweetrepublic.com, open Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Matthew Seeman • Cronkite News Service Culinary enthusiasts in Scottsdale can take pride, as their city was named the second-best city for “foodies” in the U.S., according to a survey released Monday.

The top-10 list from Livability.com, a website that analyzes the nation’s most livable small to mid-sized cities, put Scottsdale just behind New Haven, Connecticut, as a home for creative cuisine.

The rankings examined U.S. cities and their offerings in both dining and farmer’s markets, using accessibility to healthy foods, the availability of locally sourced products and the number of critically acclaimed restaurants and chefs.

Matt Carmichael, an editor for Livability.com, says the site created a short list by analyzing the percent of income spent eating out per city, the access to healthy food, the number of farmer’s markets and how often people went to local restaurants as opposed to fast-food joints.

The editors then dug into those cities with some finer points, he says, such as restaurant awards or Yelp ratings, to cull the list down to the top 10.

“The science gets us to the short list … the data-driven portion,” Carmichael says. “And from there, we’re looking at other lists, and we’re looking at … the James Beard (Foundation Award) winners and that kind of stuff.”

Scottsdale has been home to a thriving restaurant scene for a long time, says Megan Doyle, community affairs coordinator for the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. With more than 600 restaurants to choose from, both Valley residents and visitors have plenty of variety, she says.

“You can find fantastic seafood or sushi, or you can find Mexican food, or you can find vegetarian options or whatever it may be,” Doyle says. “We really have a great mix of everything here.”

Livability.com named three restaurants as great indicators of the variety Scottsdale has to offer, including Citizen Public House, ShinBay and The Mission, a Mexican restaurant in Old Town.

Brian Raab, who co-founded The Mission seven years ago, says restaurants can thrive in Scottsdale because it offers a historic atmosphere, spring training baseball, arts and culture and, above all, plenty of sunshine.

And Arizona has relatively low prices for visitors, he added, making the restaurants appealing for anyone looking for a night out.

“We don’t have these huge budgets,” Raab says of The Mission, “and I think there’s some greatness that comes out of that.”

The data indicates which cities support local restaurants and have an interest in healthy food, Carmichael says. But most of the country has already embraced the foodie culture.

“It would almost be easier to do a list of cities that haven’t decided to be a foodie city yet,” he says.

Though Scottsdale could not top New Haven for the best foodie city in the country, Carmichael says people shouldn’t be too concerned with how each city stood in the rankings.

“These are 10 great food cities,” he says. “But yes, we do have to rank them somehow. Because no one wants a list that’s alphabetical.”

‘Star Wars’ Posers: Fake it ‘til you make it at Chase Field

Maria Portillo • College Times Have you ever been in a scenario where “Star Wars” came up? And all you recall knowing about “Star Wars” is talking into a spinning fan saying, “Luke, I am your father?” If that is the extent of your knowledge, read on.

The Diamondbacks will be celebrating Star Wars Day on Sunday, July 20 as they face off against the Chicago Cubs at 1:10 p.m. (Cubs!? More like Ewoks, amirite!?)

“Star Wars” is not going away, ever.

Re-read that last sentence until it sinks in.

Now, let’s begin class on how to fake being a “Star Wars” fan.

Step 1: Spock, Lieutenant Ilia, Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo, Legalos—If you ever hear any of these names, the person you’re speaking with is not talking about “Star Wars.” This is number one on the list because this is the most highly-sensitive area. Do not, we repeat, DO NOT say these names, much less link these names to “Star Wars.” Not. Ever.

Step 2: OK, memorize all of these catchphrases. Use them wisely. These are points in your favor, but if you overuse them you will sound like a robot, and not the R2D2 kind: * “May the Force be with you.” * “Use the Force, Luke.” * “The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.” * “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” * “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope!” * “The Force is strong with this one.” * “I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookiee win.” * “Don’t call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease.” * “Watch your mouth kid, or you’ll find yourself floating home.” * “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?” * “Evacuate in our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.” * “It’s a trap!”

Star Wars Day at Chase Field, Bobblehead Josh Collmenter gets his Jedi on.

Step 3: Buy a light saber and a robe and wear them together. This will make you a Jedi. People won’t even question your “Star Wars” fandom. They will just turn, nod to you in acknowledgement, and leave you to be.

Step 4: This is a favorite amongst “Star Wars” fans. You must choose your favorite character and have strong beliefs about it.

For example, I choose my favorite character to be Mara Jade. If this is your favorite character, you must never ever admit Mara and Lando had a fling. If people insist they did, you need to become visibly upset— almost scary. Make them believe it.

Step 5: You have to live like a “Star Wars” fan to make people believe it. Learn all the philosophical and other underpinnings of the film. Powerful themes such as antibullying, the power of knowledge and the inability to control one’s destiny need to be present in your lifestyle. Oh, and buy lots of memorabilia. That convinces anyone!

Step 6: The last and final thing you should do is just become a “Star Wars” fan. After all, you already put in all of this effort, you damn weirdo. You might as well just watch the films.

Jimmy Tatro is karate-kicking his way into Hollywood and comedy clubs across the country. The 22-year-old YouTube personality recently stared alongside Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s side in “22 Jump Street,” in which he plays a fauxhawk-rocking bro named Rooster.

But Tatro’s day-to-day is pretty intense.

He writes, directs, produces and stars in his own videos for his Life According To Jimmy YouTube page, where the former University of Arizona student is boisterous and larger than life. Tatro found his niche poking fun at frat culture but has cultivated a following of over two million subscribers in only a few short years. His videos have accumulated close to 200 million views but the man behind the scenes is far from the jerk persona Tatro seems to embody so well.

Tatro will be performing stand-up for one night only at the Tempe Improv, during which he promises to break down just what life is according to Jimmy. “I’ve been wanting to do a stand-up tour since I dropped out of college,” he says. “I’m going to be talking a lot about my college experience and a bunch of funny stories.”

College Times: How have you been, Jimmy? What’s going on with you?

Tatro: I’ve been good. It’s been a hectic week. We’ve been working on these past couple of videos that have been entire productions. It’s been a lot of work trying to wrangle all the extras and get locations locked down and the costumes for this one

Do you have any videos that you’re particularly proud of?

The one that stands out in my mind is called “The Worst Idea Ever,” ironically enough. It’s basically about three guys trying to get alcohol for their party and for whatever reason they can’t. I come up with the brilliant idea to dress up as cops and raid a high school party and steal their alcohol. Things just go so south—I end up shooting a kid—it gets crazy. That’s definitely my favorite one. I’m also really proud of “Don’t Sext And Drive.”

You were great on “@midnight” with your “22 Jump Street” costars. How was it?

That was my first live TV appearance so I was a little bit nervous. And the two guys I was on with, Ice Cube and Rob Riggle, are both hilarious dudes, but I didn’t really know Ice Cube at all before that so I kind of walked up to the podium and was like, “Hey man, I’m Jimmy by the way. We never had any scenes together but we’re in this movie together.” It was kind of funny meeting him right before because the “@ midnight” guys were like, “Yeah we want you guys to banter, since you’re all good friends.” And I was like, “Right on. I’m Jimmy by the way.”

ETC!ETC! is bringing good vibes to Trapfest Ana Anguiano • College Times Fans of trap will be elated to know there is a fest with them in mind. LA DJ and producer Jose Guerrero, aka ETC!ETC!, is known for mixing trap, moombahton and bass to create a sound unique to him and one that’s deepseated in his culture. College Times got a chance to chat with Guerrero about his influences and his pre-stage jitters. Check him out along with Ookay and Tropkillaz at The Pressroom on July 18.

College Times: Hi Jose! What are your summer plans?

ETC!ETC!: [I’m] playing tons of festivals this summer. Gonna be a busy one but hoping to drop an EP also around that time.

What does trap mean to you and what is it about trap that draws you in?

Trap is just a genre to me, [it] means 808s and hi hats infused with the current state of dance music. What draws me to it is that it’s fun to play live. You can play any hip-hop classic or flip it into this genre and [the party] will go off.

What is it about moombahton that inspires you as well?

Moombahton is vibes. It’s what makes your neck snap back and forth. It’s tropical; it’s everything that makes me feel Hispanic.

I read The Beatles were a big influence for you. What did you take away from them when it comes to making your own music?

The Beatles are great. I got into making music because of them, not necessarily this type of music but when I was in bands. The Beatles just taught me to work hard, have fun, and be you. They did that with all their albums and they are all masterpieces, I think.

Do you have other influences that have changed the way you view making music?

Always, everyday. Anything from my wife and kids to what my friends are making.

Music is everywhere. Small elements. It’s just how you incorporate [it] in yours.

What is it like for you before you step on stage and then what is it like

when you step off?

I always get nervous before I go on stage. ...I pace around or listen to the DJ before me to get a vibe of what is going on outside. When I get off, I just ask people how it was. [I’m] always self conscious about my sets. [Laughs] When you’re playing festivals, who do you like to see on the lineup with you? Who is the best to play alongside or to go see?

Bro Safari, Gent and Jawns, Mayhem, those are my besties. Also Ookay, Borgore, Valentino Khan, Diplo, or anyone from L.A. I can shoot the shit with.

What can we expect from you at Trapfest in Phoenix?

I expect it to be very hot and I will eat lots of Sonic. But from the fest, just ratchetness.

Pop Culture >>> Courtesy Black Carl

Phillip Phillips has a serious case of the touring bug Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times

Local music primer: How 3 local bands stack up to national acts Christina Caldwell • College Times Getting into the world of Phoenix’s local music scene can be a daunting task. You have to circumnavigate the hipsters, pick out the poseurs and get to the heart of why people make and listen to music—because they actually freaking love it.

You don’t need to be part of the too-coolfor-school crowd to love local music, and there are dozens of local acts that are just waiting for their moment in the national spotlight. Don’t let local casino cover bands fool you—these original artists are the real deal.

Black Carl

Genre: Blues rock, soul rock Who they are: Emma Pew, John Krause, Chad Leonard, Matthew Noakes, Ian Woodward Sounds like: Janis Joplin, Alabama Shakes Your first listen: “Hussy” Why they rule: It’s hard to believe that Emma Pew’s soulful, powerful voice comes out of a little white girl. She commands the stage like she’s been doing it for 20 years.

The rest of the band complements her and is happy to play second fiddle, knowing what a talent they have on their hands.

Still, it’s not like the rest of Black Carl is small beans. They’re the internal groove of the band, rife with funky ass bass and sexy guitar.

28

JUNE 26 - JULY 23, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Black Carl.

Mergence

Genre: Blues rock Who they are: Adam Bruce, Yod Paul, Brandon Shupe, Jason Roedl Sounds like: Cold War Kids, The Black Keys Your first listen: “Me And My Family vs.

The Robots” Why they rule: Mergence is a local band with staying power. Since their 2010 debut, they’ve been winning over fans both young and old with their classic rock-inspired blues rock tunes and playful stage presence.

Taking influences from Led Zeppelin and The Beatles doesn’t mean they’ve totally adopted their sound. Mergence twists classic rock with jumpy, bright guitar hooks and a keyboard lead at the hands of frontman Adam Bruce. Good luck getting a ticket to any of their shows locally. They’re a hot commodity around these parts.

Party Gardens

Genre: Psychedelic surf, indie rock Who they are: Jake Brennan, Sean Brennan, David Moroney, Greg Muller, Paul Waxman Sounds like: Best Coast, The Strokes Your first listen: “Eat Sunlight” Why they rule: These guys are a supergroup of local bands of the past and present. Members of Dear and the Headlights, What Laura Says and Wooden Indian all make a home in Party Gardens.

Plus, they have a sound totally unique to them. Part beach rock, part psychedelic, part lo-fi, it harkens back to ‘60s Venice Beach without going full Morrison. They have obscenely catchy hooks that don’t venture into the realm of pop.

Phillip Phillips is going “a little crazy.”

He’s been home on and off for the past few weeks, after touring with John Mayer and Matchbox Twenty. He can’t wait to hit the stage again.

“I’ve been itching to get on tour and everything,” a jovial Phillips says. “I haven’t been able to jam with my band.”

Phillips, who won the 11th season of “American Idol,” is taking to the road to support his latest album Behind the Light, which features the single “Raging Fire.”

“I really love it,” he explained about the song, which debuted at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 after selling 74,000 digital copies. “It’s fun to play live. We wrote that song pretty quickly. We had the idea then we went and started something else. I says, ‘Let’s go back to that.’ We wrote it in four to five days, if that, probably less. We turned in a rough version of the song to the label and they says, ‘Well, this is awesome. We want to put this out next Tuesday. We had three to four days to finish it, master and mix it.’ It was crazy, so super fast. But it was good and I’m so proud of that song.”

For the collection, Phillips was able to experiment a bit more, after having rushed through his first post-“American Idol” release The World from the Side of the Moon. The album was nevertheless successful, having spawned the hits “Home” and “Gone, Gone, Gone.”

“It’s similar, but it’s different,” Phillips says of Behind the Light. “It’s more mature.

You can tell there’s a lot of growth there.

It’s a little bit deeper as well, lyrically. It takes you into a deeper side of things.

Playlist: Picnic Tunes Ana Anguiano • College Times Grab a blanket, some cold drinks, a couple of friends and all the snacks you can carry. It’s time to enjoy the outdoors and the company of your closest pals with a breezy picnic.

Mapei - “Don’t Wait” We can’t get enough Mapei. Ever.

Future Islands - “Balance” This is a feel-good song that should set the mood for your picnic nicely.

Aer - “Sincerely” Don’t forget your sunnies and your SPF! Aer would want you to be protected.

Solange - “Losing You” If you only know Solange from elevatorgate2014, you are missing out.

RAC ft. Kele, MNDR - “Let Go” Find a shady spot and sprawl out on a blanket with this jam.

Smile Empty Soul keeps it fresh on tour Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Smile Empty Soul singer/guitarist Sean Danielsen lives in a world of contradictions.

“When you’re home, you wish you were on tour, and when you’re on tour, you wish you were home,” he says with a laugh.

This month, he’ll have the best of both worlds as the band wraps up the latest leg of its tour. Then he’ll have the chance to head home to California.

The band is on the road opening for Wayne Static, but filling in “free time” with headlining gigs, like the one it’s playing on Friday, June 27, at the Electric Ballroom, formerly known as the Roxy Lounge, in Scottsdale.

“We’re going home at the end of this month,” he says. “Then we’ll go back out in late July and do July, August, September.”

For this tour, bassist Ryan Martin is staying home to tend to his pregnant wife, who is due in September. Filling in temporarily is Taproot bassist Phil Lipscomb, a good friend of the band.

“Phil learned 14 songs before the tour,” Danielsen says. “We’re pretty much sticking with a pretty similar set that’s a nice mix of the different albums for this whole tour because those are the ones that Phil knows.”

This is all to promote Chemicals, its sixth full-length album. Smile Empty Soul recorded the album live—meaning drums, bass and guitar at the same time.

“There was very minimal editing to those tracks and we kind of walked away with the basic tracks finished after a couple days in the studio,” he says.

“We wanted it to represent the live show a little bit more,” Danielsen says.

“It feels a little more raw. It’s a cool way to record. We had a blast making the album.”

Smile Empty Soul released Chemicals on an imprint label with a friend of theirs, who is now a business partner.

“We’ve been doing everything ourselves,” he says. “We’ve been running the radio campaign, publicist campaign and hiring teams of people to help, but we’ve been running and controlling it.”

That has lent itself to a much more relaxed and non-stressful career. That feeling even carries over into Smile Empty Soul’s live shows.

“Our show is a pretty straight forward rock show,” he says. “There are explosions. We wear a lot of spandex, glitter and there are dancing chicks on stage. That’s the best part.”

Max Frost - “White Lies” You might have heard snippet of this song on some sort of commercial but it’s pretty great on its own.

Len - “Steal My Sunshine” Throw this in just to throw everyone off.

Asking Alexandria grew up the hard way Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Ben Bruce is a self-proclaimed genius.

When the Asking Alexandria guitarist was asked to give advice to bands playing the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival for the first time, he had a simple answer: Bring flushable wipes. Or better yet, he says, gut a tour bus and install a portable toilet inside of it.

“I am a genius,” says Bruce, who moved from his home country of England to New Jersey in 2008.

Bruce did, in fact, strip his tour bus, which he paid for out of his own pocket.

But it wasn’t for sanitary reasons; it was to build a recording studio. While touring with this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which comes to Ak-Chin Pavilion on Friday, July 11, Bruce and his band are going to start recording their fourth album.

So far Bruce has 10 songs written for the follow up to From Death to Destiny.

“I want to be recording and writing 10 to 15 more,” he says. “I just recorded a bunch of songs intended for the re-release of From Death to Destiny, but I just got the mixes back the other day. I kind of don’t want to waste them on a re-release.

They sound so good. I don’t want to waste them on a re-release. I want to put them on a new album.”

The Mayhem Festival, as it’s been nicknamed, isn’t going to be all work for Asking Alexandria, which includes Tempe resident rhythm guitarist Cameron Liddell.

“We actually did it (Mayhem) a couple years ago and it was incredible,” he says.

“A lot of our friends are on the tour—

JUNE 26 - JULY 23, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Trivium, Suicide Silence and Miss May I. That’s a bonus.”

This time around, there’s a buzz surrounding Asking Alexandria—a far cry from the last go around.

“The first time it was like Slipknot, Slayer, Motorhead and we were there,” Bruce says. “I thought, ‘This is going to be awful. People are going to throw bags of (waste) at us. Oh man, they’re going to think we’re a (wimpy) band compared to the others.

“We were nervous. When we went into the tours, the bands were awesome. The fans were awesome. We had a really good time. There’s a good, positive buzz and it’s really made us more excited to get the tour starts, really.”

Most importantly, the jaunts have been learning experiences.

“I’ve had so many great conversations with Matt Heafy of Trivium,” he says. “He saw us go through all our drunk and drug problems. He said, ‘I went through the exact same thing and it did nothing but bad things for my career. It’s taken me this long to listen. I’m finally back to the point where I’m comfortable and happy again. Older bands like that really offer you advice that’ll stick and help you with your career. Younger bands are still in crazy party mode and doing whatever they want. It gets messy and you feel like you’re 60 years old at the age of 25.”

The Sail Inn sails away to Cactus Jack’s Ana Anguiano • College Times “So our Sail Inn is sailing away,” says Gina Lombardi, owner of one of the few standing Tempe music venues, which will be closing its doors on June 29.

Lombardi points all around the venue and remembers that only a few years ago everything surrounding The Sail Inn was dirt. Now there are traffic cones and construction signs for the brand new condos being built all around and developers are planning to fill the area with bars and restaurants.

“Our property, half an acre, a little over, this is going to be The Lodge, which is a bar in Scottsdale. It will be mainly a bar/restaurant and they won’t be doing live music,” she says.

Lombardi has been a mover and a shaker in the Tempe music scene for three decades. As the owner of The Sail Inn she has given musicians and their loved ones a place to gather and feel at home. She has cultivated a family of loyal friends that are all coming together to celebrate the venue one last time at The Sail Inn Farewell Festival, June 27 through June 29.

“We’ve had a really good run here and the Sail Inn has been my baby since I was a kid, really,” she says. “I’ll be 53 and I got the bar when I was 28. It’s seen many changes.”

The patio area once had grass and the outdoor stage area once was a volleyball court, but the memories that will live on are those of times spent together with friends, some who have passed on.

Ken Kareta, the production manager at The Sail Inn and the man behind the sound system for both indoor and outdoor stages, says the venue is a place that put him back together after the loss

of his wife.

“I think it’s a shame that we are going to be losing the only local venue with an outdoor stage,” Kareta says.

“We have probably one of the most extreme varieties of any club in the area.

We have the tie-dye sect dancing with their children in bare feet Sundays and Thursdays. On Wednesdays it could be a jazz show or a punk show, there’s indie pop bands. It’s definitely a variety. It’s hard to get bored.”

The Farewell Festival will serve as a memorial for the venue and a final hoorah before Lombardi moves on to Cactus Jack’s in Ahwatukee.

“This was going to be it and I was going to retire and so many of the bands kept coming up to me and saying, ‘You’re not done. Where are we going next?’”

Lombardi says.

A new stage, almost as big as the outdoor Sail Inn stage, is being built at Cactus Jack’s with a new sound system and a dance floor. The Noodles, which were one of the first bands to play The Sail Inn, will be one of the first bands to play the new stage.

Lombardi says they plan on starting live music there on Sunday, July 13, but first she has to full enjoy the three-day Farewell show.

“Deliver Us From Evil” delivers burgeoning bromance for Eric Bana and Joel McHale Ana Anguiano • College Times It seems like an unlikely pairing, but seeing Eric Bana and Joel McHale interact with one another is a thing of beauty.

The “Hulk” badass and the star of NBC’s “Community” play New York cops in the horror thriller “Deliver Us From Evil,” a film based on the true accounts of a Bronx police officer who encountered unexplainable evil during his midnight shifts. The film, which is directed by Scott Derrickson and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, follows Ralph Sarchie as he delves into the world of demons.

Bana and McHale stopped by Phoenix during their press tour and College Times got a chance to pick their brains about scary movies, knives, and their blossoming bromance, which is fairly top notch. They don’t need very much to keep the party going all on their own. The film opens on July 2. Keep an eye out for our review online.

College Times: Did you two know each other before filming this movie?

McHale: Yeah, we did “The Time Traveler’s Wife” together. I played the wife.

Bana: We had a lot of kissing scenes.

McHale: He was a big fan of mine, so he was aware of me, but we didn’t know each other.

So were all the kissing scenes cut from this movie?

McHale: No. Did you see the movie?

JUNE 26 - JULY 23, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana) and Butler (Joel McHale) investigate the Alberghetti home, where strange things have been happening in ‘Deliver Us From Evil.’

I did. Maybe I covered my eyes for that part.

McHale: See? It was terrifying.

Bana: In the exorcism [scene] we subliminally planted images of Joel and I kissing, so about 12 months from now you’ll start getting nightmares and you’ll see visions of Joel and Eric passionately kissing.

That’s where it comes from.

So there was passion…

McHale: You think that we would kiss without passion? You think it would be a loveless kiss?

Bana: Press pause a lot when you get the Blu-ray. Watch it shot-by-shot and see if I’m lying or not. If you’ve got the time, you might find something.

Do you remember the first horror movie you watched as a kid?

Bana: It must have been “The Exorcist.” I must have been like 10 or something.

McHale: You saw that when you were 10?

Bana: Yeah, I had an uncle that let me see everything. I would sneak into the drive-in in the trunk of his car with him and his girlfriend, and then they would hop in the backseat, I would hop in the front seat, and I would sit through whatever we went to see.

McHale: And then they would be doing stuff in the backseat?

Bana: Perhaps. I never looked over my shoulder.

McHale: What’s your uncle up to these days?

Bana: Let’s not go there.

McHale: He’s in that much trouble? That’s terrible.

Bana: I saw a lot of films thanks to that uncle.

McHale: I’m trying to think of the first movie that really scared me and I think it was this movie called “The Watcher in the Woods,” which had a very old Bette Davis in it. It’s from the late ‘70s or very early ‘80s and it’s a Disney film, I believe. But it’s about these kids that go away to their weird great aunt’s mansion for the summer and they start disappearing into the woods.

It’s terrifying, especially as a kid. I lived in the woods basically so I was like, “this is going to happen to me.”

Joel, your character uses knives in the movie, and from what I understand, you really enjoy knives.

McHale: I have a lot of knives of my own. I have some Samurai swords and some short swords. I have a lot of switch blades and Bloody Marys.

Bana: What’s a Bloody Mary?

McHale: It shoots out the front.

Bana: What?

McHale: That’s an automatic knife that is very legal. You hit a button and the knife...

Bana: Oh, it’s like a flick knife.

McHale: I’ll bring one tomorrow. They’re amazing. Very illegal.

Do you travel with them ever?

McHale: Not that you know of! But when (director) Scott [Derrickson] wrote the script, we’ve been good friends for many years, he wrote the part [of Butler] as if it were

me, not that I was going to get the role. So I have an obsession with knives. I always have.

Bana: Do you worry about the kids getting a hold of them and playing and cutting each other up?

McHale: I’m being this kind of father where I go, ‘Well you better handle these things and learn how to use them and be very careful.’ If I’m ever cutting something I give them the knife to cut it. So far no fingers have been lost. I have knives all over the house in almost every room. I have a whole bag of them.

How old were when you started playing with knives?

McHale: Like five. My mom and dad—we lived in Europe, thank you. In my parent’s travels in the ‘60s, they picked up all sorts of weird weapons from the Middle East and Africa. So now I collect wine and knives. It’s great. The best combination is booze and weapons.

Yeah, cheese is stupid.

McHale: So the knives I use in this movie are a ka-bar and a double edged dagger are the ones that I fight with. But when I was actually doing the fight scenes they were made of rubber...

Bana: [Sighs] Talk about taking the air out of the movie. Come on, we are promoting the film, not demoting the film!

McHale: Excuse me. The knives were real but during the fight I was wearing a rubber.

Bana: That’s much better.
