Q&A: DAVINA BOWERS

06A&ENew Horizons: An Expedition to Plutoby Nadia AyubAn article reporting on the New Horizons show-case at the Staerkel Planetarium, which consists of many recent images of Pluto.

Amidst a swelteringly hot and humid week, I’ve taken a page from the book of Morrisey, opting to spend the past few warm summer days indoors. Instead of venturing into the thick, 90-plus degree heat, I’ve rotated between laying,

sitting and standing in the one air-conditioned room in my house. During this time, I cleaned my bed-room, caught up on email, pondered whether or not to apply for a credit card (#adulting) and – most signifi cantly – became completely engrossed in a book for the fi rst time in recent memory.

Junot Diaz’s highly recommended novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao has remained steadily on my sprawling “to read” list, and I truly regret not picking it up sooner. The narrative voice that Diaz adopts is genuinely honest and unique, while the interweaving of Dominican history with his narrative is both engrossing and eye opening - it quickly became apparent that I knew an embarrassingly tiny amount about the country in question. The story itself is wholly original, sharing the family and personal his-tories of a geeky, sci-fi obsessed, lovesick pro-tagonist named Oscar de Leon, yet the themes that emerge in its telling (self-worth, resiliency, love, immigration, sacrifi ce) are relevant to just about any reader.

I could not put this book down. I stayed up hours later than intended because I was reading it. I read it while walking from room to room. I brought it to a friend’s house and sneakily read it there, too. I wanted to talk about Oscar and his family with everyone I knew (regardless of whether or not they were familiar with Junot Diaz and/or cared). For me, TBWLOOW was the kind of book that interrupts and consumes the boundaries between “real life” and fi ction. For a few days, the written words of a person whom I’ll never know became the most vital and central aspect of my being, and that sort of experience is humbling and special.

Recently, an acquaintance of mine told me that he doesn’t read because there are “more useful” things he could do with his time, that an hour read-ing was essentially an hour wasted. Initially, this infuriated me; on further thought, I realize how much my friend is missing. Through the experience of a well-crafted novel, I just had some of the most exciting, introspective and memorable days of my summer – and I didn’t even have to leave my room!

COMMUNITY

NEUTRAL CYCLEUniting bicyclists and the community

NATALKA FYDYSHYN

NEUTRAL CYCLE is not your aver-age bike shop.

They pride themselves on their commitment to people and the community, using bicycles as a tool to connect with others. Neutral Cycle has taken initiative in Champaign-Urbana, partici-pating in various projects designed to spread bicycle awareness and benefi t the community. What owners Tim Chao and Daniel Kamberlis started three years ago as one store in Urbana has expanded to a shop on campus, as well as the new Neutral Design Studio.

Chao believes many issues can be solved through bicycling, including spending time with a friend to strength your relationship, exercising for your health and even revitalizing the town by encouraging people to bike to local shops and businesses.

“What our mission is is to look at the bigger pic-ture. We don’t see ourselves as just in the bicycle business, we are in the transportation business. We use bicycles as a medium to be able to con-nect more people. We believe that we can solve a lot of problems happening in society,” said Chao.

Neutral Cycle has been involved in various proj-ects aimed at helping the community, including multiple bicycle classes, CU Bike to Work Day, a mural in downtown Urbana- even a CU Bike Polo Tournament. They have often collaborated with other organizations in Champaign-Urbana, including Champaign County Bikes, The Bike Proj-ect and the C-U Safe Routes to School Project, to name a few.

Another recent venture is the Neutral Design Studio, a place for Neutral to collaborate with designers and artists to develop creative proj-ects. It is located on South Gregory Street, close to campus.

“[The Design Studio started because] we are very creative people. We can’t just do one thing. We have a hunger to learn, and we really love art and engineering, and how to combine those two. We really started from product design, and started our own product, and learned the manu-facturing process…we’re designing bikes, acces-sories, and a doing lot of branding work with video and photography,” said Chao.

The next upcoming event Neutral Cycle is partici-

pating is the second installment of the Urbanalove Movie Night Series, taking place this Saturday, June 13. Urbanalove is an organization that focuses on discovering and creating events to celebrate Urba-na’s culture and get people together. Neutral Cycle is a part sponsor of Summer Movie Night, which features a different fi lm outside once a month for anyone in the community to attend for free. There will also be activities and live music by The Chemi-cals at 7p.m. before the 8:15p.m. screening of a few short videos followed by The Royal Tenenbaums fi lm, located at 129 N. Race St. in Urbana.

“During the movie we have “trailer time”; A few short videos made by local organizations that have a message to send out, or local artists that show their work…to let people know what is up in Urbana,” said Chao.

Before the movie bikers have a chance to meet up at 5:30p.m. at Neutral Cycle on campus (624 S. Fifth St. Champaign) for a quick bicycle ride that will lead you right to the event.

Another new program Neutral Cycle has in the works could make having a bike on campus a lot more convenient for students.

“For next summer and also next school year we’re starting something called the Chambana Bike Program. People will be able to come in, and then they can participate in the program to rent a good quality bicycle for a whole semester. All the repairs and everything will be on us. So they don’t have to worry about repairs…They’d be able to come into the shop, sign up for the program, get the bike, and be hassle-free for the rest of the semester.”

A pilot for the program is in the works right now, although in the future renters will be able to choose a bike online before picking it up in store.

Neutral Cycle also provides short-term bike rentals, perfect for visitors that might want to experience the choice mode of getting around in Champaign-Urbana. A variety of bikes are of-fered, including a tandem bike (perfect for mom’s weekend).

“It’s really fun, especially on the weekend for friends that come down or when family comes to visit,” said Chao.

MOVIE REVIEW: ALOHAIn which Jeff searches for a reason to stay on the desolate Crowe Island

JEFF BISHOP

YOU can tell a lot about a movie based on the composition of its opening week-

end audience. There wasn’t a soul under 40 at American Hustle, or a pair of X chromosomes at Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I went to Aloha, Cameron Crowe’s latest rom-com, and initially it seemed I’d have the entire theatre to myself (a byproduct of a paltry $9 million opening weekend). But, just in time, two elderly women strolled in moments before the theatre went dark and promptly sat right in front of me.

Whether they thought they were alone or simply forgot their hearing aids at home, their commentary was audible throughout the movie. The two of them wasted no time, noisily sharing some thoughts throughout the trailers (notably how crass Amy Schumer was and that one of their grandsons looked just like Daniel Craig). While annoying at times, I was relieved to dis-cover I wasn’t alone in my confusion.

“Who is that again?” (Bradley Cooper, aka the raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy).

“I’m sorry, what exactly does he do? “ (Com-puter Hacker? Military Somethingorother?)

“I just don’t get this computer crap.” (Ditto, I still use AOL).

“Bill Murray looks so old.” (He does). Defending Crowe the last decade or so has

become increasingly diffi cult. He is, after all, the man responsible for bringing the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” into the lexicon, thereby crippling Zooey Deschanel’s fi lm career. But I had no idea how desolate Crowe Island had become until I realized the only souls left might be those vocal ladies and myself. As a Cameron Crowe homer, this revelation serves as a reminder of how quickly ego can derail a fi lmmaker.

Aloha plays out like a bad version of a televi-sion sitcom, with an A, B and C plot that only peripherally relate to one another. The focus falls on Brian Gilchrest (Bradley Cooper), a military something or other, whose job is never actually clearly defi ned. He’s an expert negotiator, but also a military coder who’s been in the line of fi re. Maybe his boss is billionaire Bill Murray, or pos-sibly General Alec Baldwin. I’m not a military ex-pert, but I sure hope they’re more organized than these guys. Crowe appears uninterested in fur-

ther developing the workplace; the professional crisis of his characters acts simply as a vehicle to examine his true focus (love and relationships). Chiefl y, Gilchrest’s gradual infatuation with Al-lison Ng (Emma Stone), an inexplicably-Asian, bubbly fi ghter pilot that sees past Gilchrest’s rough exterior to the man he truly is. We can all only hope this person exists outside of our par-ents. The fi lm’s only redeemable story revolves around Gilchrest’s reunion with his ex-girlfriend, played by Rachael McAdams. The fi lm’s best scenes involve these two and McAdams’ hus-band (John Krasinski), a man who, unlike the women in front of me, says maybe six words throughout the runtime. When Crowe pitched the part to Krasinski he told him, “you know that look you always give the camera in 'The Offi ce'? I want you to do that the whole time.”

This is Cooper’s second war movie in a row, and (despite a much lighter take on the military) was just as susceptible to controversy as American Sniper. Crowe’s whitewashing of Hawaii is inex-cusable and perplexing in 2015. Cooper’s just happy no one handed him a fake baby in this one.

During the Sony Hack, studio executive Amy Pascal called Aloha (then titled Deep Tiki) “unbal-anced, unwieldy, and at times nearly unintelligible” and “unquestionably Cameron Crowe’s worst fi lm.” At this point Crowe’s status might be too substan-tial for his own good, he’d probably be better off making this version of Richard Linklater’s Before Midnight. But this is the guy who made Jerry Mc-Guire and Vanilla Sky, huge blockbusters that have ballooned the budgets of every project he’s made since. He wants the A-listers and the expensive soundtrack and the excessive marketing and the only way to do that is to accept the studio’s notes, even if it leads to nowhere.

All that said, when Aloha comes on HBO at 3 PM on a Saturday I’ll likely sit through it again. For a giant mess of a fi lm there are enough moments that recall Crowe at his best, whether you’re par-tial to Say Anything… or Almost Famous. The last helicopter may be on its way off the island, but I’ll still be beaching it up with my new best friends. See you in eighteen months ladies.

Q&A: DAVINA AND THE VAGABONDSDavina Bowers shares her rich musical history

JUSTIN KAMP

DAVINA Bowers, singer of Davina and the Vagabonds, is making it big

using one of the oldest tricks in the book: play-ing it like it’s the good old days.

Her mix of bygone musical stylings, from Mem-phis blues and early soul to New Orleans jazz, all played with remarkable showmanship, make for a raucous live show. We sat down with Davina ahead of her upcoming show at Mike N Molly’s this week-end to discuss her family and musical history. »buzz: What were some of your earliest experi-ences with music?»Davina Bowers: I came from a musical family. My mom was a folk singer, so I grew up with a lot of folk music and a huge collection of 60s and 70s classics. That’s all I did as a kid, just absorbed it and ran with it.»buzz: And how did you come to this jazz mix you’ve got now?»DB: I came to jazz and blues after exhausting those earlier genres, and trying to go back to those that guys like Led Zeppelin were listening to and building off. But we don’t really do either jazz or blues, we do more Americana stuff. Jazz, soul, blues, singer-songwriter, New Orleans big band. All that’s going in the pot. I love the history of American music. There’s so much going on there that it’s actually an adventure to go through it all. I draw on a lot of my past, too. But I’m not doing this

so I can be a rock star or wear awesome vintage clothes. I’m doing it to make people happy and sad, and bring some honesty to it all. I want to be transparent, to be able to communicate every ounce of feeling to my audience.»buzz: You mentioned that your mom was a folk singer. Did you learn anything from her?»DB: I think I took from my mom a lot of structural stuff. Harmonies, song structures and she gave me the right to be creative. Sometimes parents freak out too much about their kids safety and keep them close. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but my mom was always about me being creative and the freedom for me to show it in ways that I thought. She let me dye my hair purple, shave half my head and whatnot. That didn’t always lead to me having the most “protected” life. I’ve been through some things. But I was free to do what I want, and I love that she gave me that. And of course, she gave me her records. Also, I’m adopted through marriage. So my mom got remarried, and her husband was born in 1902. So I grew up listening to her music from the 1960’s and his from the 1920s. And I think there are a lot of similarities between both of those eras and your current generation. »buzz: How so?»DB: You know, my mom, she was a young adult in the late 60s, she was a member of the “Love

Generation.” And that era kind of runs hand in hand with the millennial generation. At that time, teen-agers and young adults were kind of forming their own culture that was more than just “pre-adult years.” And the millennials, kids those ages, they’re changing their ways of living to how they see fi t. There’s a lot of questioning the government, a lot of environmental awareness. And my generation, we spent a lot of money [laughs]. My dad was a young adult in the 1920s. Can you imagine that? That time had a lot of correlation too, you know with the suffrage and fl apper girls doing their own thing at a young age. And people threw down in the 20s. Even with the Prohibition, people partied hardcore. And I can see that with your generation too. »buzz: Your live show has a lot of great show-manship to it. What can you say about that?»DB: I was pretty flamboyant as a kid, and like I said I was free to be creative. It just comes pretty naturally to me. If I’m going to see a band, I don’t want them to stand up there and be an-gry with ripped jeans the whole time. That’s not gonna help me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely angsty. But when I see a performer, I wanna see all angles and all layers. Who wants to see a band that has no emotional variation while they’re up there playing their music to you? Being angry is one thing, but those bands

that just seem detached are worse. When I play it’s not gonna be me just standing there.»buzz: How did you meet the rest of the band?»DB: Where I’m from in the Twin Cities there’s a lot of music schools and there’s just a whole bunch of people who want to play music as a full-time career for the rest of their lives. So, through the process of elimination, I’ll fi nd my players. They come and go - I don’t want them to, I’d love to play with them until I’m done playing music - but the cities are just so full of talent that people are always moving. I’ve played with all sorts of people. I’ve played with crappy people, I’ve played with people that thought they wanted to do this but realized they didn’t, and I’ve played with some brilliant people. I think having the Twin Cities is vital to my career. If I stayed around my old, depressed, conservative small town, I don’t think - no, I know that I wouldn’t have been able to be where I’m at today. I left my town at age 15. I’m the person I am because of that town, but I’ll never go back. They weren’t ready for me, and I still don’t think they are.

Davina and the Vagabonds will play at Mike N Molly’s on Sunday, June 14. Doors at 6 p.m. $15 cover. Ages 19+.

EAT, DRINK AND BE LOCALUrbana wine festival celebrates Illinois flavors and sounds

MADELINE DECKER

ON JUNE 13, 2015 from 1-9 p.m., Urbana will hold its

second annual Uncork Urbana Wine Festival, co-sponsored by the Urbana Business Association (UBA) and the Illinois Grape Growers and Vint-ners Association. Located in the heart of down-town Urbana, the festival will highlight Illinois wineries as well as local food trucks, restaurants and musicians. UBA Executive Director Cynthia Chandler sat down with buzz this week to share the inside scoop on the upcoming festival: »buzz: What’s the inspiration behind the Uncork Urbana Wine Festival?»Cynthia Chandler: Really just being able to put a focus on more Illinois products. You know, we may not have any vineyards here in the Champaign-Urbana area, but there’s about 150 or more in the state of Illinois … I went to a similar event in Springfi eld two years ago, and immediately decided, “Okay, we defi nitely need something like this in Urbana.” … At the time I was thinking it’s something that the community would really get behind, especially with … so much focus on the farm-to-table now and the locally grown as-pect of it, so it just kind of seemed like an obvious decision. »buzz:: The fi rst festival took place in 2014. How was the community’s response to the event last year?»CC: It far exceeded our expectations. You know, we were hoping to get … about 1,000 people out here. We far exceeded that, and …

after last year’s first-time event, we kept hear-ing from people that they’d heard about it or heard about it after the fact but didn’t get to go and were really bummed because they heard how great it was, so we knew that it was some-thing that we needed to continue. »buzz: This year how many wineries will be fea-tured in all?»CC: We’ve got nine wineries coming. »buzz: What will be different about this year’s festival?»CC: We’ve expanded the footprint, so it’s go-ing to be in the Busey Bank parking lot and on Race Street, so there’s more room for people to mingle. We’re bringing in more tables and chairs and more food. »buzz:: What features of this year’s festival most excite you?»CC: Just really the music, you know, the enjoy-ment of the wine, just having a place to go and experiment with different fl avors of wine. buzz: Who can attend the event? »CC: The event is open to anyone. We suggest 21 and over because of the alcohol involved, but we’re not going to turn people away that bring their children.»buzz: For those who don’t drink, will there be other things to enjoy at the festival?»CC:The food trucks will have other options aside from what the wineries will have. »buzz: What’s nearby in downtown Urbana for visi-tors to enjoy?

»CC: Well, there’s a number of restaurants that people can dine at, and of course all different types of cuisine with those restaurants. We’ve got a vegan restaurant at Dancing Dog; Sitara Indian; there’s Siam Terrace, which is Thai; there’s Black Dog barbecue; Bunny’s has great bar food; Courier Café and Silver Creek. So, you know, there are lots of different dining options and of course different fl avors that people may have a hankering for. There are all kinds of retail options… you can go shopping for shoes at Heel to Toe—Birkenstock and New Balance, art at Cinema Gallery. Bohemia has fantastic clothes and vintage furniture and art. And there’s going to be an art show taking place inside [co] [lab]. »buzz: What is the draw of this event for visitors—what makes it a success?»CC: I think just the fact that it’s featuring all lo-cal—whether it’s local food trucks … wineries, local music—it’s all local, and it’s highlighting some of the exciting things that are going on in our community. »buzz: Will there be any unique tasting options at this year’s festival that you know of?»CC: You know, I’m not really sure. I know that … some of the vineyards had wine slushies … I didn’t get to try any of them last year, so that’s on my to-do list for this year. »buzz: If visitors enjoy a particular wine, will glasses or bottles be available to purchase? »CC: Yes. Admission is $10.00 for everyone

21 and older, and with that they get a souvenir glass and five tasting tickets. They can buy ad-ditional tasting tickets for a dollar each. They can buy wine by the glass, by the bottle—you can even buy it by the case. »buzz: What are plans for the festival if the weather doesn’t cooperate?»CC: Well, we’re going to make that call Thursday or Friday. We may shift it into the parking garage. It just depends on what the weather forecast is going to be, but we’ll make that call at the end of the week … Lightning or extreme weather really are the only things that would shut it down. »buzz: If all goes well this year, how do you envision the event growing in the future?»CC: Hopefully ensuring that we have breweries, expanding on the number of wineries we have participate and just see how it goes from there. If we need to continue expanding the footprint, then that’s something that we’ll certainly take into consideration. »buzz: Is there anything else you’d like to add?»CC: I would just say follow us on Facebook—Un-cork Urbana Wine Festival—or on our website at urbanabusiness.com. We’re constantly post-ing updates and information about the different wineries that will be there.

SNAPSHOT OF A PHOTOGRAPHY MUSEUMThe Urbana Museum of Photography flourishes in its newest space

NADIA AYUB

WITHIN the confi nes of a small brown building on Water and Race, the

Urbana Museum of Photography sprawls across the entire fi rst fl oor of its newest space. The ex-terior of the building, decorated with a bright red staircase, denies the museum its due diligence. A passerby would not notice it as a museum at fi rst. But if one were to stop and take a peep in-side, they would fi nd the entire fi rst fl oor bathed by the light from the windows, revealing life as a documented series.

Pictures representing the efforts of both local and foreign artists cover the walls, whose stark white space works to minimize any aesthetic noise. Antique cameras inhabit corners. The photographs that remain the museum’s focus come in black and white: refreshing yet intense, entrancing on fi rst look with profound moments captured through the lens of a camera.

The main room, containing most of the photo-graphs, seems to direct most of the traffi c that passes through the museum. The pictures com-memorate important moments in the history of the Champaign-Urbana community, and the locals who were able to donate these pieces of their lives.

The museum also contains various exhibits that illustrate important developments in the history of photography. The most signifi cant of these is the development of tintype photography. The technique developed pictures on thin sheets of metal and was widely used—both in terms of number of photographers and the variety of subjects captured—throughout the 19th century, the effects of which were truly exceptional to see. Many tintypes that survive today capture scenes from the Civil War and western expansion, though the technique was inexpensive and popular for portraits. Today, the tintype is a bit of a photo-graphic novelty, enduring in its popularity and still a subject for photography classes.

The museum also invites its visitors to go into the darkroom and observe the various techniques required for the craft. The dark room holds its own air of mystique. Hung in the corner of the snug dark room is an uncanny yet extraordinary photo of some of the fi rst settlers that chose to occupy what would become Champaign. It is extraor-dinary to see the faces suspended with wonder and amazement at the camera that captured their astonished expressions.

The maintenance of the photos and the develop-

ment of its craft for the museum is the mission of one Mr. Lyosha Svinarski, founder and owner of the Urbana Museum of Photography. The museum was founded in spring of 2012 with the mission to preserve and educate the community on traditional analog photography and its various techniques. Another major project that Svinarski and his team have been endeavoring towards in-volves documenting the history of Champaign-Urbana through photographs, accessing and pulling together a fascinating variety of images to showcase the community’s rich history.

Thanks to the work required for that project, the museum is also well on its way to becoming an ar-chive of early photography, techniques and equip-ment. Svinarski and his team seek to make the museum an educative forum. To do that, he offers classes throughout the year, adjusted to all levels of experience. The classes allow all those who want to understand the world of professional photogra-phy and to gain access to resources and skills they might not have otherwise, a perfect example of the museum’s work as a non-profi t organization. The museum’s “Darkroom crash course” series has already produced an impressive amount of work that may be viewed on their Facebook page.

The museum stands as an aesthetic project that has contributions from many artists around Champaign-Urbana, including Lyosha Svinarski and his students. Motivated to showcase the symmetry and connection within the many el-ements present in daily lives, Svinarski and his team strive to make analog photography high-tech in the world of digital photography. The space that the museum provides becomes a great source of vitality, and a prime location for anyone who is looking to be inspired.

The museum is currently open to the public, with special meetings organized on Tuesday at 7 p.m. every week. Currently, the museum is orga-nizing a workshop that is going to be held on June 30. Inspired by Andy Warhol and his contribu-tion to photography, the workshop will cover the basic techniques of making a pinhole camera. All participants need to do is bring an empty can of (Campbell) soup or a shoebox and a pair of scissors!
