How can it be July already? Time flies when you are having fun and winter is all about fun - well as long as you don’t mind heading outside. This month The Source is going Outside and you’re coming with us. We head out onto the mountain to get schooled up on some outside etiquette, after that we slip inside and discover that style isn’t quite dead yet.We look at how outsiders change the world and that winter is a whole lot more fun if you head out and get amongst the world. Queenstown Rocks takes a look at the musical outsiders in town, playing their own tunes. The Queen tells his own story of coming out and how not every outing is created equal.We’ve got the usual goodness to be found too - the gig guide, some cool happenings around town, stuff to make you laugh and stuff to make you think. Come say g’day on Facebook and don’t forget to check out Source TeeVee.The Source, your inside guide to the outside since ages ago.Source out.

A summons to local bedroom DJs/producers: learn how to mix with two of the best. Music dynamos The Nomad and Eavesdrop collaborate on winter gigs and free industry workshopsnew Zealand’s most tenacious producer and DJ The nomad has teamed up with drum n bass guru Dave Eavesdrop to bring a weekend symposium of industry knowledge and party-inciting sounds to the southern lakes. With subculture their first stop on July 27 followed by Wanaka’s Mint Bar on July 28, the pair have planned a free workshop prior to each of their two unmissable gigs. They’re offering keen DJ rookies the chance to garner some hot tips and practice on latest serato technology - a Kiwi invention that is stirring up the global music scene.

With spaces limited to 25 people per workshop, the sessions are bound to be both empirical and inspiring. The nomad will be talking about how he produces a track from start to finish as well as providing practical advice on how to get your music out there in the industry and touring. Eavesdrop will be talking about production techniques, the history of serato and the evolution of DJ culture. Attendees will also learn how to use serato scratch live 2.4.1 , serato video and The Bridge using Ableton. For those with dancefloor-filling aspirations, this is one experience not to be missed! To register email info@thenomadmusic.com. For others who like to shimmy after a long day on the slopes, the best plan is to head straight to the gigs afterwards.

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of live music. The band slips into the pocket and there is that once in a lifetime moment where if you aren’t right here, right now it will never happen again. And then you realise the band has just hooked into Brown Eyed Girl for the hundred thousandth time and even the non-English speaking tourists are singing along.You feel your soul dripping from your body and the bass player won’t even look you in the eye. The cover band, the redheaded stepchild of the musical world. That lowly station so unappreciated that even folks who don’t know a Fender from a gibson know they are watching people go through the motions.Dreams of stardom quashed by the grim reality that people on holiday just want to hear shit they know. It’s a sad realisation that nobody is interested in what you’re selling. In a town where most of the bar punters are here for a night and after a boogie and a burger are headed to a cold hostel bed with or without a hottie from the bus, hearing some locally grown indie rock just isn’t part of the equation. They want to dance to an acoustic version of the Black Eyed Peas and snog the next thing with a pulse on the dancefloor.

The truth is, Queenstown is still a small town at the end of the earth. As big as we want to be, unless we all decide to hit the town at the same time our paltry 11K doesn’t have the power to tip the tide away from, ‘don’t bore us, play the chorus!’ Bars have to pay the rent and musicians have to play - so both of them end up being the meat in the business time sandwich. Money talks and big talk walks.What’s the solution? simple - vote with your wallet. When there is a band playing originals get off your arse and make the effort to turn up. Drain a few beers and let the guy behind the bar know that’s why you rolled in - or better yet give them a yell on the social networks. Tell ‘em that you had a blast and next time you’ll be back. Before you know it - they’ll be back too and we all win.

ONE LAST SPINThere’s always something good on at Front Room and this month is no exception. On July 18th Front Room is hosting the new Zealand premiere of the film “sound It Out”. This British documentary tells the sad tale of the very last record shop in Teeside in the north of England.

The record shop is a dying breed, the death rattle of a culture that left Queenstown a few years back.Our musical world has been transformed to a faceless digital interface with all the personality of the phone book. There was a time when fresh music meant digging through bins of vinyl, there was a tactile relationship to records and new music had a smell. Here at The source we miss those days and this film is a celebration of that dying bastion of our youth that’s always worth fighting for - even if the war is lost. Check it out and see you there!

Numbers will be limited so if you’re keen to come please confirm via our Facebook page: Front Room Queenstown

Outside the nOrm

I’ll bet you Source readers are a normal bunch of guys and gals. You probably do normal things like hold down a job, worry about your bills and enjoy a drink or seventeen. You’re so normal in fact, that next to the word ‘normal’ in the dictionary is a picture of your smug normal face. But are you really so normal? The chances are one of you thinks the other is not.We tend to judge one another according to what we think is normal. We’ve all heard or used the phrase “freak of nature” but, hell, it’s in our nature to be freaks and deviate from the norm. A defining aspect of humanity is our individualism. Our taste in clothes, music, food, humour – they all vary from freak to freak. Sure there are things that are widely concurred as not normal: coprophilia (look it up), people who marry dolls, Lady Gaga’s raw meat dress but to each of those people concerned, what they do, how they live and how they think, is normal.Our history books are teeming with people who pushed the boundaries of normality to positive and world-changing ends. Galileo sacrificed

his personal freedom and lived under house arrest for bravely theorising that Earth was not the centre of the universe. Suffragettes campaigned for the right to vote, many of whom died or became social pariahs for daring to do something unprecedented, something atypical of women of their time. There are innumerable examples of people throughout history who were thought of as behaving abnormally or holding abnormal beliefs but whom we now laud as our great thinkers, mavericks and pioneers who have helped us evolve and grow to the advanced species we are today.Our parameters of what is normal can and do shift. It’s not that I wish to see us all become shit-eating meat dress-wearing loner creeps making love to plastic people but next time you see that raggedy-ass guy shaking his fist at traffic and muttering about the existence of anal-probing aliens, before you dismiss him as “weird”, hold your tongue. He might not be normal to you but he could be the next Charles Darwin of our time.

Notorious for hibernation, hot cocoa and brandy by the fire, winter is firmly upon us. Currently the masses in Queenstown are shaking their mittened fists at their poorly insulated walls and sending up great lungfuls of smoke into the stratosphere as they burn, well, pretty much whatever they can lay their little frost-bitten hands upon: various free local publications and the odd unassuming possum to name but a few.As the dark plumes gather and curl above the many houses built on the shady side of the lake, a malevolent genie is forming to answer your wishes for warmth. Here is what he whispers:“You, my little maggots, may be quaking in your boots and sleeping in your snowboarding clothes, waking in the darkest night, having cooked on one side, courtesy of your electric blanket but there is another way. I say, ahem…1) Go to Bikram yoga. They care not for power bills, lie in the warmth and sweat of others around you in a

corpulent mass of twisting flesh and quasi-bikinis.2) Get out of bed an hour earlier and run, you little blimps. The star encrusted darkness will whip you inside and out and you shall be balmy the rest of the day.3) Don’t just ski down the slopes, you darstadly mutts; take the synthetic replacements for the skins of seals and walk up, I tell you, preferably before first tracks and laugh in the face of the wimpy chairlifters.4) Drink yourselves silly, return to the era of canned heat and gurgle your way to unconsciousness.That is all.”So, um, thank you Mr Genie, wise words indeed. I, myself, am quite enjoying smoking inside people’s homes with no cigarettes: all the glam and none of the nicotine, yes.Also, in these freezing climes, there’s more excuse to cuddle. Do so.Love, Your average Jo

Sanju Bhagat once looked 9 months pregnant and could barely breathe. He’d always felt self-conscious about his big belly but one night in June 1999 his problem

erupted into something much larger than cosmetic worry. Dr Mehta saw something he had never encountered as he cut deeper into Bhagat’s stomach - gallons of fluid spilled out and then something extraordinary happened. “First, one limb came out, then another. Then some part of genitalia, some hair, limbs, jaws, limbs, hair.”Mehta had removed the mutated body of Bhagat’s twin brother

from his stomach. Bhagat had one of the world’s most bizarre medical conditions - fetus in fetu. It is an extremely rare

abnormality that occurs when a fetus gets trapped inside its twin. The trapped fetus can survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cordlike structure that leaches its twin’s blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene.

An Australian ventriloquist visiting new Zealand walks into a small village and sees a local sitting on his veranda patting his dog. He figures he’ll have a little fun, so he says to the Kiwi “g’day, mind if I talk to your dog?” KIWI: “The dog doesn’t talk, you stupid Aussie.” vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Hello dog, how’s it going mate?” DOg: “Yeah, doin’ all right.” KIWI: (look of extreme shock). vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Is this villager your owner?” (Pointing at the man). DOg: “Yep.” vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “How does he treat you?” DOg: “Yeah, real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play.” KIWI: (look of utter disbelief). vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Mind if I talk to your horse?’

KIWI: “uh, the horse doesn’t talk either - I think.” vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Hey horse, how’s it going?” HORsE: “Cool.” KIWI: (absolutely dumbfounded). vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Is this your owner?” (Pointing at the villager). HORsE: “Yep’.” vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “How does he treat you?” HORsE: “Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often and keeps me in the shed to protect me from the elements” KIWI: (total look of amazement).vEnTRIlOQuIsT: “Mind if I talk to your sheep?’” KIWI: (in a panic) “The sheep’s a liar!”

A conversation in heaven... sYlvIA: Hi! Wanda. WAnDA: Hi sylvia. How’d you die? sYlvIA: I froze to death. WAnDA: How horrible! sYlvIA: It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy and finally died a peaceful death. What about you? WAnDA: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching Tv.

sYlvIA: so, what happened? WAnDA: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack. sYlvIA: Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer - we’d both still be alive.

The Way of

WinTerI don’t like yelling at people but all winter I end up doing it. It feels like as the temperature drops it drags IQs down with it and idiots are a dime a dozen. As a service for people not as smart as us, I’ve decided to smack the stupid upside the head with some winter knowledge - listen up snow noobs.Don’t hitch there! Hitchhiking: a great way to get up the hill, reduce carbon footprints and add some life to your $400 car. Here’s the deal: hitch in a place drivers can actually safely pull over, help put the chains on, get all the snow off your board and try and bring as little gear as you can.Don’t hike on the skin track! When you are headed off into the backcountry or just getting some early morning fresh at Concrete Peak have a look where you are walking. If you are hiking get out of the skin and split-board track, your footprints are wrecking it and some granola muncher is going to flick his hippy beard at you - and you don’t want to know how long it’s been since he’s washed that thing.

Get out of the goddam way! need to do up your bindings at the top of the lift or want to have a sit down midway down the run? Then get out of the way! The rest of us have paid the better part of a hundred bucks each to own the M1 and you’re arse in the middle of the run is wrecking my moment of radness.Stop asking when it will snow! If we knew when the next dump was going to be we’d all have jobs at TvnZ and the Codfather would have us on speed dial. It will snow when it snows and hoping and wishing and whinging ain’t going to change that, even if you have the next two days off.You can’t puke there! It’s a rite of passage to come to QT and crush enough Jager-Bulls to spew on shotover street. I love my downtown and slipping on your frozen spew as I pick up my morning triple espresso is so not cool. Hold enough swagger to chuck in the bushes, or shock/horror in a toilet.

It’s a bit of a habit of the younger generations to take the mickey out of our seniors. In some ways they deserve it - they forget where their keys are, lose hair from their heads only to find it in their ears and in the case of a close relative, drown in chicken soup.What you really can’t fault them on is how they used to dress themselves. My mentor as an apprentice was a chap called Charlie. Imagine Tom Jones with grey hair and a last of the summer Wine accent. One day he came into work with a sheaf of photos from his early 20s, circa 1970. looking through them, one thing that struck me was how sharp everyone dressed. All the guys looking dapper in their suits, girls in nice dresses, everyone making an effort. no trousers below the buttocks, no hats worn indoors, or any other sartorial or social screw-up that would have any self respecting person of style crying into their notched lapels.Queenstown has many well documented plus points. One thing often lacking though is sartorial style. Fashion? sure, it has that

in abundance, with shops dropping phat tunes, happy to sell folks a cap or beanie for the equivalent of ten days’ food, which they’ll wear at a rakish angle whilst simultaneously complaining about how expensive Queenstown is. That’s the difference between style and fashion. Fashion costs a fortune. If it doesn’t, you’ve either: struck gold down the salvos, made some poor kid in Honduras work his ass off for 5 cents an hour or have amazing talents with needle and thread. Of course, I’m generalising, but come on! style typically costs zero and like good music, it spans generations. so, a few pointers. If you’re just wearing a tee-shirt, you really do look a tool accessorising with a beanie and scarf. stop

trying so hard! Any hat indoors - lose it, did your grandparents teach you nothing?! Furthermore, if I find out you made an ACC claim after tripping over your snowboard pants whilst they hung round your keister, I’m sending the Queer Eyes and gok Wan over for a stern talking to!

my

dog

told

me

so.

It was three days before my twentieth birthday when I spontaneously shouted “Oh for God’s sake, I’m gay!” down the phone at my mother. I didn’t know what to expect. Tears? Fireworks? Gloria Gaynor to come bursting out the nearest closet amidst a cloud of glitter singing ‘I Will Survive’? Or perhaps all three. My mate/backup husband got not one, but TWO bottles of Moet AND his dad took him to see Beyonce in concert, whereas the media would generally have you believe that ‘coming out’ spells social exclusion and imminent suicide. Both are baffling to me, as all I got was a disinterested “Are you sure? Have you tried both?” from a woman whose mind was clearly more focused on where she was going to source her next gin from than the sexual preferences of her first-born. You’d be forgiven for not realising that this is the same woman who wept - actually WEPT - when Will Young (the original Pop Idol) came out publicly, and he’s been nowhere near her womb (I hope). Anyway, not bitter, but is coming out just not a big deal anymore?

I suppose it’s to do with exposure and tolerance. Everyone’s bloody gay nowadays so most people just don’t really give a toss and I think it’s arrogant to assume otherwise. The most surreal moment for me was taking my mum to a gay club and watching in outward horror and secret pride as she took to the dance floor in her jumper-dress and began to shamelessly gyrate to lady gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ with a man dressed only in a leather jockstrap. I suppose I had to get it from somewhere, right?Acceptance doesn’t always come so obviously or enthusiastically and perhaps that’s not always a bad thing. My father for example, is just as unlikely to engage me in a conversation about rimming as he would a conversation about anything other than the pathetic state of my finances. never before have I welcomed such apathy and indifference. I suppose that’s acceptance for you nowadays: “You suck dick? give a shit.” gay is normal. I think I’m going to go straight.

WinE timE:

There is nothing better than mulled wine when it’s freezing outside. It’s a great way to warm your paws when you are out watching events, or even better when you are inside sitting by the fire heating your bones. I have tried lots of mulled wine and this is an easy and delicious recipe so you can make your own. Put all this in a saucepan: 2 bottles of red... don’t get too carried away, about the $10-$12 price point will

do. (Try not to use Pinot noir - it will be rubbish if it’s at that price!) An orange cut into segments and studded with about 15 cloves, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, 2-3 cinnamon sticks, 2 cups of decent apple and blackcurrant juice, ¼-1/3 cup white sugar and a lemon sliced into rounds if you feel like it. Heat this gently (don’t boil it) and stir it a bit so the sugar dissolves. What a way to get through winter! Try it... or at least, er, mull over it.

tRACK REPoRtGibbston River Trail

BURN YOUR COUCH AND GO PLAY OUTSIDE

The 8.5km Gibbston River Trail was officially opened in December 2010 after six years of intensive development. The trail has spectacular views framed by the Kawarau River on one side and the gibbston vineyards on the other. It has a relatively easy gradient and incorporates 12 timber bridges, two steel truss bridges and two sheep grates which have recently been installed replacing original stiles.starting from the Kawarau Bridge the trail is undulating as it approaches Peregrine Winery. At this point walkers can access the Wentworth track - a 2.7km loop crossing the many purpose built bridges and opening up stunning views of the Kawarau River, looking back toward farmland in the west and vineyards to the east. The Wentworth loop is not however

suitable for cyclists due to the narrow track and extreme bluffs.From Peregrine the trail is easy and flat and continues along the valley toward Waitiri Creek Winery running parallel to the road. At Waitiri Creek there is the option of a further 2.4 km walk or ride on the Waitiri loop which has recently been upgraded to ensure it is family friendly. The loop leaves from the Waitiri Creek carpark and is ideal for young children and elderly walkers. This section of the trail also includes five picnic tables at scenic outlooks and bench seats at strategic points.Throughout the gibbston River Trail there are plenty of picnic stops, cafes and opportunities for wine tastings.Go to www.wakatiputrails.co.nz for more info

Getting there: Drive out of town on State Highway 6 Time: About 1.5 hrs. Grade: Easy Bikes: Yes Dogs: On Leads Only.

LAMB SHANKS 3 lamb shanks (a shank/person but just add more for more guests), 5 cloves of garlic roughly chopped, 1 c red wine, 2 c beef stock, 2 T tomato paste, 1 lge carrot roughly diced, 1 lge stick celery roughly diced, 1 lge onion roughly diced, 4 T oil, 1 T rosemary & 1 T thyme (fresh is better but dried works well).

Heat the oil in a pan and brown shanks all over. Place in a slow cooker. Add all other ingredients and cook on low for 5 hours. The meat will literally fall off the bone! Serve with mashed spud and spoon the sauce from the cooker all over. YEAH.

One of the great things about living in this wonderful district of ours is the scope we have for getting outside and having fun in the great outdoors. We all love a bit of communing with nature but at this time of year we sometimes face problems accessing it as roads become icy and snowfalls make the going treacherous.Improved road surfaces, better cars and more effective de-icing and gritting techniques have increased everyone’s ability to travel when conditions are wintery but these are not magic spells and a bit of personal preparation is required to help drivers get from A to B when the Weather gods are throwing snowballs at us.safe winter driving means having chains and knowing how to put them on. look at your car’s manual to make sure you know which wheels to put them on and have a couple of dry runs in the driveway so when the snow hits, you’re ready for action. You don’t want to be stuck for an hour on the side of the road in a blizzard grappling with tangled chains.The key phrase there is “side of the road”. Check the road reports before you leave home so you know if you’re likely to need chains and pull over to put them on well before you need them. Police were very concerned last year about the number of people who thought the middle of the road was a good place to stop and fit chains. It’s not.use your common sense. If your teeny, weeny hatchback struggles to climb Ballarat street on a fine summer day, it’s not going to find the going any easier after a snow dump. Have a plan for getting to where you need to be. Talk to your neighbours, workmates and bosses about ride sharing and have a safe travel plan ready to go.Our best advice is “Always Be Cautious”. Conditions can change dramatically in mere minutes and if you always drive as if you’re expecting black ice ahead, you’ll increase your chances of getting to your destination safely.Have a safe and trouble free winter driving on our roads everybody!

Australian Tim Patch is an artist who uses his pecker to paint. This guy has traded his paintbrush in for a tool that he always has on hand and has affectionately named himself “Pricasso”.Pricasso uses his bum to paint in the backgrounds since it would take too long to use his other tool and it looks better. He takes his work on the road and appears at various sex trade shows, putting on live painting demonstrations for passersby. The funny part is that his work isn’t half bad considering the tool he has to work with.

With a steady stream of awesome flowing through Queenstown there’s no shortage of cool cats and wicked stuff to point the camera at and Source TeeVee has hit the ground running. If you haven’t checked us out yet, we won’t hold it against you but what are you waiting for?We’ve been all over the Winter Festival, taken a closer look at underground art thriving just below the surface in QT and taken the time to look at some of the alternative sports that make this little town rock. The big question is - what are we going to look into next? Well, keep tuned in and you’ll see...If you’re saying right now, “I’m awesome, Source TeeVee should totally film me!” well get after it and give us a yell - you might just be the next big thing.

CAn’t bELiEVE yoU hAVEn’t READ...timOthy LeAry: Outside LOOKing in Appreciations, Castigations and reminiscences by ram dass, Andrew Weil, Allen ginsberg, Winona ryder, William Burroughs, huston smith, hunter s. thompson and OthersOne of the most influential and controversial people of the 20th century, timothy Leary inspired profound feelings - both pro and con - from everyone with whom he came into contact. he was extravagant, grandiose, enthusiastic, erratic and an unrelenting proponent of

expanding consciousness and challenging authority. his experiments with psilocybin and Lsd at harvard university and millbrook, new york, were instrumental in propelling the nation into the psychedelic era of the 1960s. From the 1980s until his death in 1996 he fully embraced the possibilities of freedom offered by the developments in computer technology and the instant communication made possible by the internet.

We’ve Grown UpQueenstown has grown up, so can we have our Beer Fest back?It was a highlight on the Winter Festival calendar – probably for the wrong reasons – like Auckland VIPs getting hit with beer bombs.Haven’t we’ve matured from the beer swirling days of downing as much mainstream lager as possible in a sitting?There’s a growing trend and appreciation for great tasting and different flavoured beers from boutique producers and microbreweries.Arrowtown Autumn Festival pulled off a pie and pint fest. Even the Lake Hayes A&P show had a controversial homebrew competition – no chics allowed.Surely some reincarnation of a Beer Fest is long overdue at the southern hemisphere’s ultimate winter party? Boutique producers, microbreweries and homebrew. We want to taste it!Come on we deserve a second chance.

Be it occupation, shenanigan or full-on hanky panky, the act of getting out is always a good thing. Worthless jobs, smack addictions, Ponzi schemes and the pimp game have one thing in common: when you leave it’s a load off your back and occasionally a load of your ho’s backside.The rat race is no different. 3 years ago I clawed my way out of a cesspool of pointy-shoed spreadsheet humpers so I could make my way to greener pastures (in the grass sense and the weed sense). I endured brutal exit rituals – HR interviews, booze-free team lunches – it was horrific. But after the bureaucratic gangbang I was reborn, the wrinkle-resistant shirt on my back finally free to be wrinkled.life outside of that knob-infested gerbil cage was different. For once I could act like a human and not a soulless automaton that doesn’t even laugh at yo-mama jokes or American news reports about people getting their face eaten off by naked dudes on the freeway. secondly, I didn’t have to listen to chumps in monkey suits spew verbal diarrhea about “sharing vision” and “leveraging synergies” and

“not dipping my pen in the company ink”. Most importantly, I could finally wear my gold lamay onesie whenever I wanted, not just on casual Fridays.I wish I could say that everything changed. But like an ex-cokehead going broke from smoking a pack-a-day, I can’t seem to weasel my way outside of the bullshit world that I’ve been running from.simply put, people everywhere are full of baloney. I left behind my code-jamming fartbag coworkers who have seven girlfriends in secondlife to pursue a job in construction. next thing I knew the scaffolding guy from Alexandra was explaining to me how george Bush engineered 9/11 as a cover-up for the aliens. now I work in a co-working space among a bunch of self-employed entrepre-nutsacks who have job titles like “Inventiologist” and “social Changemaker”. Even outside the rat race, we’re all rats.The moral? Whether you’re inside or outside, the grass is always going to be greener somewhere else. Instead of whinging you might as well wear your gold unitard, laugh at your own yo-mama jokes and enjoy the grass you’ve got.
