We fashion our way of cooking by sourcing<br />
the freshest ingredients from our local<br />
countryside. Cooking without borders, we<br />
let the world's cultures assist in shaping<br />
the creations from our kitchen.<br />
We are consistently visiting nearby farms,<br />
in order to educate ourselves about our<br />
native produce. Knowing the environment<br />
and conditions in which our ingredients<br />
grow and thrive, assists us in preparing<br />
the best possible dishes for our customers.<br />
We are nestled between Historic Old Bellevue<br />
and the thriving new city center. The<br />
interiors are inspired by Nordic and Parisian<br />
styles, brought together to create a<br />
casual elegance. 99 Park is the formula<br />
for a “good time” restaurant, where upbeat<br />
music plays, thoughtful food is created,<br />
cocktails are crafted and glamour is seen.<br />

"The way one presents and carries<br />
themselves, their natural aura is what<br />
makes a person sexy to me."
DIRECTOR’S LETTER<br />
Penis. Now you say it loud in<br />
a public place. Did you ever<br />
play that game when you were<br />
younger or maybe as an adult?<br />
Whoever said it loudest won.<br />
Or did just reading the word<br />
make you feel uncomfortable?<br />
I would hope not considering<br />
you should have learned in<br />
sex education that every man<br />
possesses one so what is wrong<br />
with acknowledging it? Without<br />
one, you wouldn’t be reading<br />
our latest issue because you<br />
would have never been born. Even years after sex has become more<br />
publicized online, in movies, video games and cable, it is still taboo<br />
to have an open conversation about it and double standards still<br />
exist. In the 2013 “<strong>Sex</strong>” <strong>Issue</strong>, I expressed sex was my favorite thing<br />
and still get comments about it. Why? Because when it comes to<br />
women speaking about sex, they can be considered promiscuous,<br />
even in this city that has been considered one of the top cities for<br />
casual sex. Now, if a man had written that would it have been so<br />
surprising? Most likely not, but it doesn’t bother me because who<br />
cares what people think? Everyone is going to make assumptions,<br />
not everyone is going to like you and not everyone going to take<br />
the time to get to know you.<br />
These lessons can be learned right from the words of this issue.<br />
We have some amazing people this year from our decibel to<br />
distinct section. All of them are inspiring in their own way and<br />
I recommend you read each and every one. DJ Rhiannon (pg.<br />
28) was one of my favorite interviews I’ve done thus far. She<br />
was amazing to talk to. She is proud to be able to express herself<br />
sexually through her music and she should. She’s hot, intelligent<br />
and talented and she owns it. The Chainsmokers (pg. 26) have hit<br />
“top sexy” lists – they are sexy and know it. Their confidence is<br />
shown with every unique and original show they put on and their<br />
fans love it.<br />
But it’s not looks that make someone sexy; it’s confidence (not<br />
to be confused with arrogance). All the girls in our Cover Girl<br />
competition (pg. 56) wouldn’t be in this issue if they didn’t use<br />
possess that. Remy wouldn’t have made cover if she didn’t rock<br />
it, but she did and you can see that as did everyone else that<br />
supported her. Each of the seven people in our annual people<br />
list (pg. 32) are sexy in their own way, but all of them possess<br />
confidence along with being grateful, humble, humorous and kind<br />
that has led them to success. But what’s sexiest of all is their passion<br />
for the things they do and making sure to unselfishly give it back to<br />
their own community, friends and mentors.<br />
<strong>Sex</strong>iness is attractive. Attraction is what connects people to each<br />
other. That connection is what makes two people want to sleep<br />
together. Sometimes two people can have such a strong sexual<br />
energy that they know it and everyone around them does too. How<br />
many times have you said or heard, “I don’t understand why they<br />
don’t just get together already?” So why hold back from something<br />
will make them feel good? Usually it’s fear. What if something that<br />
feels so good ends up hurting me? In correlation the same goes<br />
for food. What if indulging in something that tastes makes us fat?<br />
What if we don’t like it? What if it doesn’t look good, but other<br />
people say it is? Well we found a lot of food that we think is good in<br />
our annual “Food Porn List” (pg. 12) and some that you may think<br />
is even better than sex. So live a little and indulge, your taste buds<br />
will thank you for it.<br />
I hope this issue has made you see that sex is something to talk<br />
about in more ways than one. If this doesn’t help you see how good<br />
sex can be than you’re probably not doing right so hopefully it will<br />
at least help you learn. Own your hotness Seattle.<br />
“What makes a man sexy is someone that can make you laugh, is<br />
intelligent, passionate, and respects every aspect of you”<br />

THE BIG APPLE<br />
INSIDER’S LOOK<br />
Written by Lauren Adam Photos courtesy Capitol Cider<br />
They say that an apple cider a day is the best way to remain in good<br />
health, which makes Capitol Cider a public house style safe haven.<br />
A rich, warm candle lit dining room offers an ambient voyage into<br />
another time – a time where the apple would much more likely end<br />
up in a barrel of cider than eaten. With twenty cider taps that rotate as<br />
often as every two weeks, a bottle store hosting a daunting amount<br />
of cider varieties, and a subtly apple infused, 100% gluten free menu<br />
by Chef Autumn Swenson, the apple’s versatility is in full swing. From<br />
live music like the weekly Sunday Night Jazz Flights, to 2nd Thursday’s<br />
“Drink and Draw,” and Seattle chef paired 6-course Cider Dinners, there<br />
are countless reasons to pop up on the hill and grab the local specialty.<br />
This is a perfect place to take a first date, or just spy on one from the<br />
other end of the bar. Go with friends and play shuffleboard downstairs<br />
at The Ballast Bar or just stop by the bottle room and get something<br />
to-go. Don’t be surprised if Capitol Cider becomes the next apple of<br />
your eye.<br />

TAKE FLIGHT<br />
The cider flights at Capitol Cider are consistently updated. While<br />
the International Flight and Continental Flight are staples, there is<br />
also a Cidery of the Month. Make sure to try the Flagship – one<br />
of the only ciders that is free of added sulphites, this was the first<br />
fully certified organic cider in North America.<br />
Finnriver Habenero – Chimiacum, WA<br />
This delicious spin on the traditional semi-sweet<br />
cider starts tart, mellows out and then ends with<br />
heat. The combination comes from cider soaked<br />
chili peppers and makes the perfect addition to<br />
the Manzitas en Fuego, cider style margarita with<br />
apple-chilli shrub.<br />
Apple π<br />
Nothing says comfort like warm apple pie. This<br />
cocktail is one of the many artisan innovations hand<br />
crafted at Capitol Cider. The apple liquor, Pomme de<br />
Coeur, is shaken with St. Elizabeth Allspice and BroVo<br />
Ginger then topped off with lemon for a light, fluffy,<br />
sweet but satisfying nightcap.<br />
Castañon Sidra Natural – Spain<br />
The tradition of cider in Spain dates backs 3,000<br />
years – one of the oldest know. Sidra natural is<br />
usually fermented in chestnut barrels without any<br />
extra additives. The outcome is a dry and acedic with<br />
visible sediments that drinks like wine.<br />

La Sacorrada – Spain<br />
This artisan brew is made with rosemary and<br />

DANCE VISIONARY DANCE PRODUCTIONS<br />
THE ROMANCE IN DANCE<br />
Written by Gagan Kaur Photo courtesy Visionary Dance Productions<br />
At first glance, belly dancing could be intimidating<br />
for anyone watching exotic women move their hips<br />
in trance like motions as they transition in and out of<br />
backbends. Yet despite popular misconceptions, the<br />
dance isn’t erotic or sexual in any inappropriate way.<br />
Seattle native, Delilah of Visionary Dance Productions,<br />
explains it is a ceremonious ritual that creates a<br />
spiritual bond between the dancer and spiritual self.<br />
She is able to control every aspect of her body and<br />
“It’s easy to assume<br />
that belly dancing is<br />
choreographed, but the<br />
dance is more like Jazz.”<br />
mind. The dance allows her to communicate and share<br />
a spiritual connection between her and supporters.<br />
To be able to understand the movement, one must<br />
have a bit of insight on the creation of it. The dance<br />
was created to increase a woman’s fertility. It is passed<br />
down from generation to generation to their daughters<br />
and granddaughters. It is primarily for women because<br />
it’s about a woman’s connection to birth and life<br />
focusing on the torso, breasts, and hips. A man can<br />
participate, but he has to be able to get in touch with his<br />
inner female self first.<br />
From age five Delilah knew this would be her life<br />
path. What is most valued in a dancer is someone<br />
who studies technique and music and has developed<br />
a character for when they perform. She started<br />
by learning the Middle Eastern cabaret style and<br />
revolutionized it by incorporating yoga, theater, and<br />
personal growth therapy within her practice. She<br />
has become known for her modern edge of altering<br />
belly dance as an art that empowers women. It is the<br />
differences in the style and approach that intrigues her.<br />
Delilah explains that once the dancer learns to<br />
control her body by isolating individual movements it<br />
gives them a voice and a form of expression. “It’s easy<br />
to assume that belly dancing is choreographed, but the<br />
dance is more like Jazz.”<br />
She says the dance is best in an intimate concert<br />
setting. Sets can be twenty to forty-five minutes in<br />
seven segments. “The time is important. It allows the<br />
dancer to go into different states of consciousness or<br />
zones physically and mentally. If she knows her craft<br />
well, she will take the audience with her. You cannot do<br />
that in a five-minute dance.”<br />
People from all over America (and internationally)<br />
have brought her to their hometowns to teach and<br />
perform. Here in Seattle, Delilah opened up a home<br />
studio with her husband, Steve, and made their<br />
mission to encourage feminine empowerment. Their<br />
creativity and spirituality have designed a welcoming<br />
space for women of all ages, sizes, nationalities, and<br />
walks of life. It has allowed her to teach in the greater<br />
Seattle area along with preforming at weddings, baby<br />
showers, parades and various public events. As she<br />
continues to make her dancing impact in the city, she<br />
has also expanded her creativity. Her costume and<br />
clothing label, Madam D'z Dramatic Designs & Vintage<br />
Acquisitions features custom made gowns and<br />
costumes along with an extensive collection of vintage<br />
nightgowns allowing women to not only express<br />
themselves through dance but also through design.<br />

DANCE LIKE AN EGYPTION<br />
The first account of the belly<br />
dance has been found in<br />
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics<br />
where it was incorporated in<br />
their historic timelines.<br />
DANCE CLASS<br />
COUNTRYWIDE MOVES<br />
Belly Dancing is a combination<br />
of movement from several<br />
different countries.<br />
These different styles are<br />
from Lebanon, North Africa,<br />
Egypt, Turkey and the Arabian<br />
Gulf due to trade and shifting<br />
boundaries. Many of the moves<br />
are borrowed from nature,<br />
especially from snakes.<br />
DOES THE BODY GOOD<br />
Exercising the abdominal area,<br />
not just by rolling the belly, but<br />
also by swaying the torso, helps<br />
food move along the digestive<br />
system making belly dancing<br />
is especially good for this<br />
purpose.<br />
THE WILD WEST<br />
The famous bra-and-belt<br />
costume combo is a Western<br />
invention. Original Middle<br />
Eastern belly dancing costumes<br />
covered the body, with only<br />
a belt or a scarf tied around<br />
the waist to emphasize the<br />
movements.<br />

SMOKIN'HOT<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Steve Rosenfield<br />
If you combine charm, humor, and confidence sprinkled with modesty on top, you end up with one irresistible<br />
combination: Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, a.k.a. The Chainsmokers, have been recognized as one of the hottest DJ<br />
duos of 2014, both in looks and in skills. This shouldn’t come as a surprise with their first major hit, “#SELFIE,” hitting<br />
No. 1 within five weeks. With the release of their latest track, “Kanye,” they keep on moving up, traveling around the<br />
world, and putting on unforgettable shows.<br />
26
CHAINSMOKERS DECIBEL<br />
You were recognized in "The Top 10 <strong>Sex</strong>iest DJs of<br />
2014" by onlythebeat.com and it’s not the first time<br />
that it’s been said you are one good-looking duo, so<br />
do you think you’re sexy?<br />
CHAINSMOKERS: Umm, of course we do. We<br />
realize it’s a nerdy sort of sexiness and almost selfdeprecating<br />
in some respect, but we are confident,<br />
which makes up for any shortcomings.<br />
Which DJ would you pick as the sexiest?<br />
CS: Jesse Ware, Gesaffelstein, Brodinski, Nervo Girls,<br />
Eva Shaw, Jack Novak... just to name a few.<br />
Do you have any stalkers? What has been your<br />
craziest experience by a fan so far?<br />
CS: Using the word “stalker” feels wrong because<br />
it’s so great to have fans that are really passionate.<br />
Stalkers to us are people that like jump the fence at<br />
your house or send dead animals in boxes. We have<br />
some awesome die-hard fans though that always<br />
seem to know what we are doing, and it’s great. Drew<br />
has one fan that goes by his last name and battles<br />
other girls that compliment him on Instagram - that to<br />
me is really funny. One girl on our “Drilldo” video was<br />
sort of crazy and really wanted the “D.” She was nice,<br />
but it was just over the top.<br />
You have been playing in clubs that you were rejected<br />
by before you blew up on the scene. How does it feel to<br />
be playing at them now?<br />
CS: I feel like everyone can relate to shit like this.<br />
Nobody is worse than the club doormen; they are such<br />
pricks so to be able to come back and just be like,<br />
“excuse me sir.” It’s a nice feeling, but that’s life isn’t<br />
it? Just overcoming BS, it always feels great. It’s never<br />
really about the clubs or doormen.<br />
If someone has never seen you play, what would you<br />
tell him or her to expect?<br />
CS: Patron in their eyes - that is probably a good thing<br />
to expect and warn people about.<br />
You have produced multiple remixes from indie to<br />
progressive; what do you look for when choosing a<br />
specific song?<br />
CS: Sadly we don’t have as much time to remix songs<br />
as we used to because we are really focused on<br />
our own music right now, but generally we just really<br />
have to love the song. It’s really cool to be a fan of a<br />
song and then be able to put your own spin on it. Also<br />
working with artists that are lesser known is how we<br />
started and we try to maintain that vibe. It was cool<br />
bringing exposure to artists that way and growing<br />
together with them.<br />
Was there a specific moment thus far that has made<br />
you feel like, “Holy shit, we are kind of big deal?”<br />
CS: Honestly, we haven’t had that moment. We are so<br />
critical of ourselves and expect so much more out of<br />
ourselves that we really never feel that way. We are<br />
proud of our work and enjoy it, but we still have so<br />
much we want to achieve.<br />
You were chosen to headline EDM at Westgate’s<br />
WaterDance Plaza Superbowl event; what was the<br />
experience like compared to playing in megaclubs?<br />
CS: It was awesome. We were sort of nervous<br />
because it was raining and Arizona doesn’t do rain.<br />
Also, we were competing with Alesso and Calvin<br />
[Harris}, but the turnout was amazing and even more<br />
so the crowd was so pumped. We don’t put so much<br />
importance on that, if ten people showed up but they<br />
were there to go nuts that would be all right by us!<br />
What’s next on the hit list from you two?<br />
CS: Just lots of music, we don’t think we have done a<br />
good job of releasing enough of it, for one reason or<br />
another, which we won’t get into. But excuses aside, we<br />
are fixing that and plan to really have an exciting year.<br />
A lot of people probably think they have a good idea of<br />
what we are about musically, but we really don’t think<br />
they have a clue and this will be our chance to prove<br />
it. We also toured the entire world, like lucky fucks, and<br />
DJ’d everywhere. It was awesome, but we want to raise<br />
the bar, not just for us but also for our shows, and we are<br />
working on some really cool ways to do that.<br />
SHORT LIST<br />
Boxers or Briefs: Boxer Briefs<br />
Blondes or Brunettes: Blondes<br />
The first thing that attracts me to a woman is: Wit… If a girl is witty it’s so sexy.<br />
If we weren’t DJing, we would be: Ski Instructors<br />
Biggest idol: Jared Leto, George Clooney, Keith Richards.<br />
Top place to play at that you haven’t yet: South Africa and Coachella<br />
Seattle is: The tits, we have played there twice and both times were some of the most memorable<br />
experiences ever. Y’all know your music out there and party like us!<br />
Seahawks or Patriots: Patriots, Drew’s from the Northeast, but not gonna lie, Beast Mode should have<br />
been fed. I am still upset about that play call.<br />

SEXY BEATS<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Odessy Barbu Styled by www.shopglamrock.com<br />
DJ RHIANNON DECIBEL<br />
Artistic ability is not easy to obtain, but Rhiannon has proven otherwise with her background as a lyricist, recording artist,<br />
music video producer, rapper, actress, writer, MC and DJ. Her ear for the beat is apparent as she uses minimal technology in<br />
her performances spinning vinyl-with-turntables and playing by ear. Combining that with her natural beauty and strong sex<br />
appeal, she has been recognized by many as one of the world’s sexiest DJs and she’s not ashamed to show it.<br />
You obviously have a passion for the arts, which one<br />
of these professions would you say is your favorite?<br />
RHIANNON: If I had to choose I would definitely say<br />
DJing because of the performance aspect. I love<br />
connecting to people directly and feel the music in<br />
the moment. I’m forced into being present and it’s<br />
exhilarating. It’s not about the limelight; it’s the energy<br />
you feel from people.<br />
Do you feel your looks benefit your career or holds<br />
it back from being taken seriously in a “male”<br />
recognized profession?<br />
R: Definitely both aspects are true, but I didn’t<br />
choose to be born a woman so I’m not going to treat<br />
it as something to hold me back. I learned quickly<br />
witnessing girls and models that have posed in<br />
Playboy and others were getting DJ gigs and after<br />
seeing them, were really not that great. I’ve played<br />
vinyl for 8 years and my ears are really trained so I<br />
deserve to be up there. I’m in entertainment. I’m an<br />
entrepreneur. If I need to take my clothes off to get<br />
where I need to be then I’m going to do it.<br />
What is favorite thing to wear that makes you feel<br />
sexy?<br />
R: My smile. People think that it’s an esthetic thing,<br />
but for me it’s energetic and something that makes a<br />
connection.<br />
You are very forward in your music and lyrics,<br />
promoting sex and some may consider derogative<br />
terms of women such as “Nasty Bitch” and “Like a<br />
Slut.” Are these showcasing who you really are or<br />
making a point of the double standard in society?<br />
R: Definitely once again it’s both. I’m exposing<br />
the double standard in society where the moment<br />
we own our sexuality and objectification, we are<br />
criticized for it. The reason I chose those words is<br />
because there is so much negative connotation<br />
with words like “bitch,” “slut,” “whore.” Reclaiming<br />
my sexuality messes with people. If they want to<br />
criticize or say I’m a whore, I can say, “Well yes I am.<br />
I’ve already noted that.” It takes the power away<br />
from these words. I’ve learned to take the power out<br />
of them by normalizing them a little more, but they<br />
still carry a lot weight. As in saying that’s who I am<br />
really am, it’s true in a sense, but I know myself. I’m<br />
very grounded, down to earth and a nice person. I’m<br />
in a good position where I can express my sexuality<br />
and inspire someone to do the same. <strong>Sex</strong>uality is a<br />
part of every single one of us, whether we deny it or<br />
not. We wouldn’t exist if two people didn’t have sex.<br />
It’s how we entered the world. There’s this black and<br />
white dichotomy that’s been created; you can either<br />
be this sweet innocent virgin or dirty nasty whore.<br />
Hopefully I embody both of those and show that<br />
there is a grey area.<br />
When did you come into your sexuality?<br />
R: This answer is really cheeky, but I literally entered<br />
this world through a vagina so female sexual power<br />
was the first thing I ever learned about. In grade<br />
3 and 4 I was already exploring my sexuality. My<br />
neighbor and I would go into the paddling pool and<br />
take our pants and be like “oh what do you have?”<br />
But it was innocent sexuality that is natural. I had a<br />
great childhood; my parents were never abusive to<br />
me. My dad was absent because he worked a lot, but<br />
my mom was wonderful. <strong>Sex</strong>uality has always been<br />
there for all of us.<br />
Has your music ever developed crazy fans? What<br />
has been the craziest moment from a fan thus far?<br />
R: Most of the time people just write me a lot. I’ll<br />
respond, but not immediately because they think I<br />
will respond again. I can’t sit at home all day writing<br />
messages. I had one particular guy send me a dick<br />
pic and then he felt ashamed of sending it. It was<br />
funny because I don’t read my Facebook messages<br />
every day so it piled it up a bit. So there was this<br />
dick pic and then a message of “Oh my god I’m so<br />
ashamed. I’m sorry I sent that to you.” Whatever,<br />
there are vaginas and there are dicks; it’s not a big<br />
deal. I told him it was okay, just no more. It inspired<br />
me to write that song “Dick Pic,” which is a parody of<br />
The Chainsmokers’ hit song, “#SELFIE.”<br />
Some DJs have been mocked for only “pressing<br />
play” with their laptops and using the benefit of<br />
Serato. Do you feel this causes something to lack in<br />
the DJ world today?<br />
R: It’s such an intense topic because in an openly<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
biased way, yes, I do feel that. Not because, “Okay,<br />
well I can do this so I expect others to do the exact<br />
same thing.” There are a lot of bitter DJs out there<br />
that do play vinyl and train their ears, but then<br />
everything became super accessible and they<br />
became shitty about it. So I could have had that<br />
attitude too, but you need to adapt to conquer. This<br />
is actually what inspired me to start writing lyrics,<br />
making videos, and to become a DJ-rap artist. I’ve<br />
paved my own lane in this profession that has gone<br />
mainstream. One comment I will say is DJs should<br />
be live. People get excited when they want to see<br />
a singer, but when they lip-sync people get upset<br />
because they could have listened to the album at<br />
home. If it starts to become a hot topic for DJs and<br />
venues start installing video cameras in booths<br />
to see if they are actually DJing, it will change the<br />
industry again. If we get upset because singers<br />
lip-sync why shouldn’t we get upset when DJs beatsync?<br />
Even though you play EDM, as most of the biggest<br />
DJs do, you also play top-40, mash-ups and hip-hop.<br />
Where do you see the music trending to next?<br />
R: If I knew the exact thing I would be ahead of the<br />
game, but we already can see this shift towards deep<br />
house that’s become really popular over the last six<br />
months. EDM is especially mainstream with big-room<br />
house with big builds, huge drops and festivals.<br />
Whenever there is an action, there is a reaction, so<br />
people will eventually want the opposite thing. Deep<br />
House is more consistent, intimate, funkier and<br />
deeper.<br />
What is the next thing on your agenda in music and<br />
other career options?<br />
R: I’ve decided that I want to affect and inspire<br />
people to live happier with more personal freedom<br />
and expression, may that be sexually or not. There<br />
is so much confusion of life’s purpose and the<br />
way to love and be loved. I feel like if I can make<br />
a difference I really want to. I’ve had a couple of<br />
moments where I wasn’t sure, but now I am shooting<br />
a sizzle reel for a reality show. I’ve realized I need<br />
to follow my heart, and it will be lead me to the next<br />
thing I‘m suppose to be.<br />

FRANCESCO YATES DECIBEL<br />
YOUNG SOUL<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Jimmy Fontaine<br />
When you first hear the rich and soulful voice of Francesco Yates, it will come as no surprise that he has been chosen as “An<br />
Artist to Watch in 2015” and boasted about by multiple artists, including Justin Timberlake. His passion for songwriting and<br />
appreciation of music started at a young age, but it wasn’t until age 11 that he was inspired to pursue a career after watching<br />
School of Rock -- looking beyond the movie and feeling like that was real life for a musician, realizing he could do that as<br />
well. Fast-forward to five years later, he has released two hit singles and completed his first album, collaborating with Robin<br />
Hannibal and Pharrell, that is aimed to be released in fall 2015.<br />
A lot of younger pop artists that grow quickly into the<br />
public eye tend to have a hard time dealing with the<br />
stardom. Do you think there is more pressure being<br />
a younger artist? Does the “fame” concern you?<br />
FRANCESCO YATES: For me, I was blessed to have<br />
spent a lot of time with my management team and<br />
label (Atlantic Records) developing my sound. I’m 19<br />
now and I’ve been singed for over 3 years to a major<br />
label. While that might seem like a lot of pressure,<br />
I felt comfortable in taking my time to grow up and<br />
talk about adult things and real life experiences.<br />
I’m happy to have been granted that time. I wouldn’t<br />
want to look back on my first single or record and<br />
regret doing a song that may not transcend time. If<br />
you give the idea of “fame” the time of day, it could<br />
swallow you whole. If that’s what comes of music,<br />
that’s something I will deal with when I get to that<br />
place, but my main focus right now is to share a body<br />
of work that I am proud of.<br />
Your songs, “Call” and “When I Found You” have<br />
romantic serenading lyrics; have you experienced<br />
the relationships that you write and sing about?<br />
FY: I definitely pour my experiences in my songs,<br />
but there is no method I use every time I write. For<br />
me, it’s all a matter of proper timing and being<br />
open to letting the songs write themselves. It can<br />
be triggered by anything from a sound to a scent. I<br />
think the idea of love and heartbreak are things that<br />
everyone has experienced, and using music as my<br />
universal language, I’m sharing stories that people<br />
can relate to.<br />
Collaborating with music producers like Robin<br />
Hannibal and Pharrell for your first album, what have<br />
you learned from working them? Did they influence<br />
the sound and direction you wanted to take with the<br />
album?<br />
FY: I learned a lot about my sound and myself during<br />
the creative process. I think the big lesson I took<br />
away with Robin Hannibal was the idea of creating<br />
music that was both of the times and for the times.<br />
I’m influenced by a lot of artists and music from<br />
the 70’s time period. I had to find a way to combine<br />
those influences into a sound that was uniquely me<br />
and people my age could understand and enjoy.<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
Pharrell was a huge advocate for me playing the<br />
electric guitar. I had walked away from playing after<br />
the days of my progressive rock band when I was<br />
12. I didn’t quite understand where the electric<br />
guitar belonged in my pop music. He [Pharrell]<br />
opened my world up on that level and taught me to<br />
trust your first instinct. If you spend too much time<br />
overthinking, you can and will ruin what naturally<br />
came to you. For that reason, I only do a few takes<br />
when I’m recording in the studio. If it isn’t happening<br />
naturally, you can’t force it or otherwise it doesn’t<br />
come across authentic.<br />
Who would be the one artist that you would love to<br />
share the stage with?<br />
FY: Prince, he’s so incredible – the total package.<br />
What’s so special about him is that during a time<br />
when the dance/pop was so big with Madonna and<br />
Michael Jackson, he made it cool to be a musician.<br />
He is eccentric and beyond talented. I think I could<br />
learn a lot from him and have an incredible time<br />
performing with him.<br />

DISTINCT DAN PRICE<br />
Seattle is a mecca for entrepreneurs, what do you feel a company<br />
needs in order to make them successful?<br />
DAN PRICE: For me it was never about being an entrepreneur. It<br />
was about helping and serving others. I was really passionate about<br />
these independent business owners. It depends on how you define<br />
success. I mean if you define success as owning your own company<br />
and having financial success, I don’t believe that those are the true<br />
measures of success. For me the true measure is being happy and<br />
making an impact. For me I always think that serving others is the top<br />
way to do that.<br />
How did being featured on the cover of Entrepreneur <strong>Magazine</strong> come<br />
about and how has the experience been since it's been released?<br />
DP: I actually found out I was on the cover by someone texting it to<br />
me after they had seen it at the airport. It has been a little bit crazy<br />
since then. I get a request to do a speech or interview at least once<br />
a day if not more. I am trying to appreciate it and enjoy it for what it is.<br />
It creates a little bit more of a platform for my company, but I hope it<br />
doesn’t change anything about me or who I am.<br />
When you aren't working, what do you do to disconnect and enjoy<br />
some free time?<br />
DP: I love surfing, snowboarding, hiking and pretty much anything<br />
active and physically challenging. I also like relaxing so I like yoga<br />
too.<br />
FORCE OF GRAVITY<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo courtesy Gravity Payments<br />
Honesty and transparency are some of the notable traits Dan Price possesses<br />
that have led him to success and the cover of the January 2015 Entrepreneur<br />
<strong>Magazine</strong> and being named “Entrepreneur of the Year for 2014.” Along with<br />
sacrifice, hard work and a reputation for having clients that believe a great<br />
deal in him, he has given many reasons as to why he is worthy of such<br />
honors. Price became an advocate for multiple independent business owners<br />
and helped their companies reduce costs and headaches associated with<br />
processing credit cards and after two years of hard work in this field he<br />
established his company, Gravity Payments, officially in 2004. By enjoying the<br />
process of working and giving all while having a team that works hard for<br />
the vision, his company has grown immensely making over $150 million in<br />
revenue and $10 billion in transactions. One of his of secrets to that success is<br />
knowing that it is more about the journey than the destination.<br />
You are definitely one of Seattle's most eligible bachelors, is it hard<br />
to sustain a relationship and own a company?<br />
DP: Yeah, one of the funny things is I will go on a date with someone<br />
on like a Tuesday and it will go well. I am happy and thinking we<br />
should go on another date and schedule something in a day or<br />
two. But then something will come up work wise and working 16-hour<br />
days. My brain gets foggy and I almost forget about everything else<br />
that exists. I will forget about my parents, siblings and friends. Then<br />
three days later it’s almost like I woke up from a dream, but everyone<br />
else’s lives have kept going. At times it can be hard for people around<br />
me. It is something that will evolve and change with time but for now I<br />
really enjoy it.<br />
What would be one trait a woman must have to make you interested?<br />
DP: I would say it’s all about the motivation of the heart or the soul.<br />
Are you most passionate about helping others and doing good or are<br />
you more thinking about yourself? That is first and foremost. Also<br />
what I look for with anyone in my life is emotional maturity, emotional<br />
and physical well-being and physical health. Someone that is very<br />
active and out there adventuring and getting the most out of life.<br />
If you hadn't started the company, what do you think you will be doing<br />
right at this moment?<br />
DP: I think I would be working in the company; I love it here. If I hadn’t<br />
started it I would have loved to be a part of what we are trying to do.<br />
The only other job I have had was a professional musician in a fulltime<br />
rock band. We were on tour all the time. We played rock music on<br />
the radio nationwide. It was incredibly fun. Our largest show was for<br />
5000 people and I miss it every day.<br />

CHEFS KELLY AND KYLE CONNOR DISTINCT<br />
TWO OF A KIND<br />
Interview by James Zachodni Photo courtesy Can Can<br />
Chefs Kelly and Kyle Connor have a lot in common. Well, quite literally as they are identical twin chefs currently heading up the<br />
culinary program at the cherished Seattle landmark, Can Can. After years of being understudies at some of the city's most loved<br />
restaurants, the twins are now in charge and are doing things their way.<br />
First off, being identical twins, is there ever an issue with you being Kyle's “boss” in<br />
the kitchen?<br />
KELLY CONNOR: Being an identical twin has been a blessing in my life, and it has<br />
been a great experience to work side-by-side with my best friend. Kyle and I have<br />
worked in several restaurants together over the years and he has been my superior<br />
in some cases. Our communication in the kitchen is short and sweet. We can read<br />
each other’s minds! At the end of the day, if decisions need to be made, I make<br />
them and Kyle respects them.<br />
You guys pump out quite a bit of food with just the two of you in the tiny Can Can<br />
kitchen, do you ever feel like you are confined or need more space and help?<br />
KC: Working in a small kitchen can be a challenge but we make it work. It takes a<br />
lot of organization, cleanliness, and teamwork.<br />
You have worked in a lot of restaurants around the greater Seattle area. Which<br />
kitchen do you think you found your personal style as a chef at?<br />
KC: When I took the chef position at the Can Can I found the freedom I desired<br />
to create new menus based on my style of cooking. It has been a fantastic<br />
experience so far and I’m constantly pushing myself to raise the bar.<br />
Are there any chefs out there that you look up to or consider mentors?<br />
KC: Chef Austin Zimmerman and Chef Robin Leventhal were my mentors<br />
when I worked at Stopsky’s Delicatessen and Local 360. They taught me the<br />
fundamentals of cooking, developed my palate, encouraged my creativity, and<br />
gave me the freedom to bring to life new dishes.<br />
Do you have a signature dish that you are known for; whether at Can Can or<br />
elsewhere?<br />
KC: I’m recreating one of my favorite dishes for our new show, Flamingo, which<br />
opens April 17th. It is braised short rib with demi-glace and colorful vegetables, It<br />
combines comfort food and fresh ingredients from the Pike Place Market.<br />
This is the “<strong>Sex</strong> <strong>Issue</strong>” so what is it that you think makes a dish “sexy?”<br />
KC: Presentation! Contrast of colors, arrangement of ingredients, and the<br />
explosion of taste when you take the first bite. I develop the dishes around the<br />
theme of the show to compliment the performances. You have come to see a sexy<br />
show. You should be served sexy food.<br />

DISTINCT ANNY HAVLAND<br />
Why produce an independent show verses becoming an anchor or producer with a<br />
local news station?<br />
ANNY HAVLAND: I didn’t want to be a news anchor. The news only reports on the<br />
tragedies and that wasn’t my focus. I wanted to make a positive movement and<br />
change within media and give the humanitarian side of news reports and actually<br />
do something about it. I wasn’t a trained journalist or had any kind of professional<br />
talent on camera, but I wanted to take this role on and put my vision into it. I wanted<br />
to just be me – a typical girl who messes up her words and is far from polished. The<br />
entertainment world might be one of the largest industries to convince to make a<br />
change, but I felt I was the girl to do that.<br />
The show has grown since then and has won multiple awards; did you expect it to<br />
go this far?<br />
AH: My initial coach down in California never thought that this show would make it,<br />
but I wasn’t going to take any “no’s.” Seeing my determination she provided me with<br />
a valuable tip – build my audience and they will come. This is what we have been<br />
doing all organically. We’ve since won "Best Web-Series" and "Audience Choice<br />
Award" in film festivals and have caught the eye of a network from our YouTube<br />
channel. It feels good to know that others have my back and see the need for<br />
change as well.<br />
What do you think made your show more popular on the web verses other web<br />
based shows?<br />
AH: There are many popular web based shows and the majority of the ones with<br />
high views are crazy and whacky. People like to see stupid things and shock factor<br />
is the key. We were able to find shock factor in a positive way, which isn’t the easiest<br />
but it’s doable, and I think this is what has helped our viewership.<br />
Have you thought about expanding the show into other cities?<br />
AH: We had some very big news come our direction towards the end of last year.<br />
We were discovered through our YouTube channel by a network that offered us a<br />
non-exclusive package to air our show nationwide. Our premiere was Jan 4 and<br />
we instantly hit the top-six most viewed shows during our time slot, pretty amazing<br />
news to hear.<br />
THE IT GIRL<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Matty Photography<br />
In 2010, Anny Havland was fed up with depressing and negative news<br />
stories that were constantly aired and set forth to bring a change<br />
of positivity with her own show, Talk It Up TV. Seeing an opportunity<br />
in the video marketing niche, she started to teach herself editing<br />
techniques. Anny then shared her concept for her show with many<br />
people who ended up helping her and volunteering their time. After<br />
two years of it being a fun side project, Anny realized this was her<br />
purpose in life. After selling almost everything she had, including<br />
her dream home, she hit the road and moved to Seattle in 2013 from<br />
Bellingham to make her web based show a success.<br />
34<br />
This past October the show became a non-profit. What made you decide to<br />
change it over and how will that make an impact on the show?<br />
AH: Getting our 501C3 non-profit status has been the biggest blessing so far.<br />
We’ve been mainly a two- person crew, Rick Walters and myself and now it has<br />
allowed us to have a board of directors, more hands on deck allowing us the<br />
opportunity to grow even more and people can now support our mission and<br />
write it off on their taxes. It allows us to hold fundraising events to help us sustain<br />
ourselves and give acts of kindness when deserved and needed. There is no longer<br />
a limit to my sky.<br />
What has been your favorite episode thus far?<br />
AH: With each episode that we create, I tell myself this is my favorite. But one<br />
would be the show about Grey Muzzle Rescue that was owned and operated for<br />
ten years by Thayne and Chris Hamilton, until Chris tragically passed in 2013. They<br />
specialized in adopting “un-adoptable” and severely abused dogs from all over the<br />
nation giving them a forever home. It was Chris's dying wish that Thayne continue<br />
the rescue work they lived and loved to do together and Thayne has done just that.<br />
What is your ultimate dream for the show or simply for yourself?<br />
AH: My vision is to impact the masses and get this show in households all over the<br />
world to demonstrate that there is a need and a desire for a positive show. Current<br />
TV programs are not helping our society one bit. They are not teaching our children<br />
how to be good citizens and make sound decisions. Our children are our future so<br />
let’s give them something good to follow.<br />

SCOTT MAYER & ALEX NELSON DISTINCT<br />
What is it about Budweiser that makes the product better than the rest that a<br />
regular consumer may not know?<br />
SCOTT MAYER: The average consumer doesn’t know how difficult it is to brew.<br />
Budweiser is brewed using a blend of imported and classic American aroma and<br />
bittering hops, a blend of barley malt and rice. The brewing process takes 30 days<br />
includes the time-honored methods of “kraeusening” for natural carbonation and<br />
Anheuser-Busch is the only major brewer in the world using Beechwood aging<br />
as part of the brewing process to create its unparalleled balance, character and<br />
signature crisp finish.<br />
Which brand is your favorite and why?<br />
SM: I love Budweiser. I have been lucky enough to see the brewing process first<br />
hand of the finest ingredients available and the care and consistency of every<br />
Budweiser produced.<br />
ALEX NELSON: My favorite brand is Stella Artois. It’s a beer that not only has<br />
history and heritage with the nine step pouring ritual and the chalice, but has a<br />
great story and takes an active role in better world initiatives like the “Buy a Lady a<br />
Drink” campaign.<br />
Bud Light is the official sponsor of the NFL and the Seahawks, do you think that<br />
makes a the brand more popular for Seattleites?<br />
SM: I do think it connects the brand to Seahawks fans. We want to be the perfect<br />
beer for Seahawks fans watching the game at home, tailgating, at the game,<br />
and whatever happens next and they tremendously support with everything from<br />
wearing jerseys, hats, pants, and anything else they can utilize with the Seahawks<br />
logo. We are fortunate that our partnership allows us to brand the Seahawks logo<br />
for perfect pairing in the hands of the fans.<br />
SEATTLE BUDDIES<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Jessica Drake<br />
What the craziest moment you have at a Seahawks game?<br />
SM: I actually have two crazy moments at a Seahawks game both involving<br />
the Green Bay Packers. The first was the catch by Golden Tate that is still<br />
unbelievable. The other is the NFC championship victory and celebration that<br />
ensued in the stadium and streets following. I have been fortunate to attend many<br />
games over the years and that was the loudest and most emotional environment<br />
at a sporting event I have ever attended. The last five minutes of the game was the<br />
best time I have ever had at a sporting event.<br />
If you asked yourself what’s one thing Seattleites love, it is a good<br />
cold beer. Anheuser-Busch understands this in more ways than<br />
one. Recently purchasing Elysian and 10 Barrel, the company<br />
understands the importance of a good local micro brew. Its big<br />
named brands, Budweiser and Bud Light also play a key part in<br />
the city having sponsored some of Seattle’s biggest events and<br />
being the official sponsor of the Seattle Seahawks. Some of your<br />
favorite Seattle moments have happened because of these beers.<br />
However, it takes a big team to put it all together led by two fine<br />
gentlemen, Scott Mayer and Alex Nelson, who assure you always<br />
have a good time. Scott manages a sales team that has nearly<br />
2200 on-premise accounts and special events throughout Seattle.<br />
Marketing Manager, Alex Nelson oversees all of the local event,<br />
teams, venue sponsorships, on-premise trade programs and<br />
social responsibility budgets. Besides working hard, these two<br />
know how to have fun and if you ever get the pleasure of hanging<br />
out with them it will definitely be unforgettable.<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
AN: There has been a ton of great moments over the last couple of years, but I’d<br />
have to say Richard Sherman’s tip interception to Malcolm Smith last year against<br />
the 49ers to seal the win and send us to the Super Bowl. The stadium was electric.<br />
Anheuser Busch does a lot of different events from concerts to product tasting to<br />
sporting events across the country. What has been your favorite event to attend<br />
up to date?<br />
SM: Attending the Kentucky Derby is my favorite event I have been to in the<br />
last year. The races are secondary to all the activities that surround 165,000<br />
attendees. The craziest rule is that infield attendees can bring as much beer as<br />
they can physically carry, but can’t use a device with wheels. It’s amazing watching<br />
the struggles of guys trying to carry 5 cases of Bud Light.<br />
AN: I’m a local guy, so my favorite event would have been the Budweiser Made in<br />
Seattle event that was part of the Made in American concert series.<br />
What is one event in Seattle that all local should attend this year?<br />
SM: Seafair is a must attend this year. It’s a Seattle tradition and the Blue Angels<br />
are back again. Budweiser is proudly sponsoring this year and we look forward to<br />
supporting the city and sharing great times with everyone.<br />

DISTINCT SABA TEKLE<br />
Raised in Seattle, Saba Tekle has faced her share<br />
of troubles. Growing up with a criminal past, a near<br />
death experience at age 19, followed by struggling<br />
to balance between a spiritual and party girl life,<br />
she finally discovered her calling in life to be a<br />
writer, mentor and speaker. After years of learning<br />
the publishing business she started her publishing<br />
company, 7Publishing, and released her first book,<br />
20 Beautiful Women, a collection of personal short<br />
stories from twenty different inspiring women.<br />
What encouraged you to become an author and write 20 Beautiful<br />
Women?<br />
SABA TEKLE: The original concept of the book was centered on<br />
the experienced pains I had growing up. One of my deepest pains<br />
was feeling alone and not being able to turn to anyone. Books by<br />
authors like Debrena Jackson Gandy, Iyana Vanzant, Marianne<br />
Williamson, to name a few, opened my eyes to healing and much<br />
relief because of their courage and vulnerability to share those<br />
things that I had once learned to keep secret. Had they not, I would<br />
not be here and I was inspired to do the same.<br />
How did you choose the women in the book?<br />
ST: I looked for life coaches, mentors, and authors who had taken<br />
their pains, healed from them, and then turned them into their<br />
passion and purpose on social media. That is my definition of what<br />
a beautiful woman is.<br />
How did it feel once it hit the best seller's list?<br />
ST: Shared success is the best success. I had previously been in<br />
three books on the best-seller list, but it didn’t mean as much than<br />
be able to share this experience with my co-authors. It was exciting<br />
and fulfilling.<br />
Besides a published author you are also a speaker and life coach.<br />
What has been your most inspiring story of someone you have<br />
helped?<br />
ST: There are so many, but the story of Dawn Adams (Chapter<br />
Four) was an incredible experience. I worked with her closely on her<br />
story about her overcoming rape, molestation, and being in foster<br />
care. She is one of the kindest women I’ve had the pleasure of<br />
working with. Her becoming an author was a dream come true. She<br />
was committed, so it was inspiring to watch her make that happen.<br />
BEAUTIFUL<br />
INSPIRATION<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Shay Woods<br />
What would you say to young adults to inspire them to know they<br />
can still turn their lives around?<br />
ST: You’re not alone. You will be surprised that the people you<br />
admire or aspire to be are just like you. Everyone is challenged in<br />
life and fails at one time or another. But everyone can succeed in<br />
their own way if they choose to heal from their past and find their<br />
passion and purpose in life.<br />
20 Beautiful Women can be purchased at any major retailer<br />

MAMA TITS DISTINCT<br />
THE<br />
TITS<br />
MCGEE<br />
Interview by Jacob Utti Photo by Leanna Karg<br />
Mama Tits is practically larger than<br />
life – from her lavish eye makeup to<br />
her long, black nails. She is the host of<br />
Mimosas With Mama, Seattle’s longest<br />
running drag brunch. A boisterous<br />
performer, she’s currently transitioning<br />
from traditional lip-synch drag to her<br />
own singing and her first record is<br />
already in the works. She regularly<br />
hosts Lifelong AIDS Alliance’s gay<br />
bingo night, which raises money for<br />
people living with HIV and AIDS. Her<br />
work with Lifelong is near and dear, as<br />
Mama, a.k.a. Brian Peters, lives with<br />
HIV and has for years.<br />
How often are you dressed as Mama?<br />
MAMA TITS: On a busy week it’s multiple nights, but<br />
just because I’m not in drag doesn’t mean I’m not<br />
working. I’m constantly producing my show, Mimosas<br />
With Mama, and I have voice lessons once a week. I’m<br />
transitioning now – to be honest, I’m a singer. I started<br />
off as a professional opera singer but I walked away<br />
from it and started partying way too much. Later on<br />
I found drag and started doing that and I got back<br />
on stage and it reminded me what I wanted to do:<br />
entertain. When I was a kid I knew I would be famous. I<br />
had all my stuffed animals lined up; I knew I was going<br />
to be an actor or singer. Fast-forward to when I got<br />
back on stage and I thought, “This is it!” But I started<br />
to get really bored. I became really uninspired. I had a<br />
lot of self-doubt. Then recently I started doing voice<br />
training and there went my fire again!<br />
There’s an iconic photo of you standing over a<br />
protestor in the Seattle Pride Parade. You’re in full<br />
drag as he’s scowling up at you, hateful sign in hand.<br />
Your whole demeanor is saying, “You have no power<br />
here!” and he looks tiny compared to you. Do you ever<br />
revisit this photo?<br />
MT: I do. Right after that day I could have died<br />
happy. I could have dropped dead and known I did<br />
something good. So whenever I feel down or less-than<br />
or inadequate, I flip on the video and I get inspired.<br />
We’ve reached 1.8 million Youtube views! I remember<br />
thinking to myself when facing off against that guy,<br />
“Whatever you say, be 100% accountable.” It was<br />
when I called him a sad excuse for a human being<br />
that I stopped – I was approaching a bad line – and<br />
everything else I said with love.<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
I wanted to ask you about something difficult: you’re<br />
very open about being HIV positive – what is that<br />
challenge like?<br />
MT: Well the pill, which I take every day, costs $2,000<br />
a month and doctors visits can be upwards of<br />
$60,000. But I’m lucky, my body responds really well to<br />
the medication; other people aren’t always so lucky. I<br />
want everyone who is HIV positive to realize they have<br />
done noting wrong. I don’t give a fuck how you got<br />
the disease, I want to know what you’ll do now. If we<br />
can all work together, we can erase the stigma and<br />
eradicate this disease, but the only way we’re going<br />
to do that is by keeping the conversation going. I’d<br />
be remiss if I didn’t mention my amazing husband. He<br />
was there when I found out I was positive – the only<br />
thing that broke the silence that day was him looking<br />
at me and saying, “No matter what, we’ll get through<br />
this together.”<br />

DISTINCT JOSH ALTMAN<br />
MILLION DOLLAR MAN<br />
Interview by Charity Mainville Photo by Marc Angeles<br />
Josh Altman of The Altman Brothers knows how to sell. Fans of the popular reality show, Million Dollar Listing on Bravo, see Josh selling homes<br />
to high profile clients, celebrities and athletes. He has become the top-producing agent at Hilton & Hyland Brokerage with record breaking sales.<br />
His passion for his career began 12 years ago when he moved to Los Angeles with his brother. Needing a place to live they put all their money<br />
($10,000 total) together and bought a condo. They painted and improved their home with each paycheck at their minimum wage entertainment<br />
company job. They decided to put it back on the market after only three months to see what it would sell for. They realized they were in the wrong<br />
business when it sold for $200,000 more than the purchase price. Right then they made the choice to begin their new careers in real estate.<br />
How did you maintain your success after the housing<br />
market crashed seven years ago?<br />
JOSH ALTMAN: The thing is I love what I do. I get<br />
excited from the house to the deal to the people.<br />
There are going to be low and high markets, but for me<br />
success is all about being happy even when times are<br />
tough. I always stuck to the original things that got me<br />
to where I am today in that market. I spent those years<br />
honing my skills, becoming an expert at what I do. It<br />
was like a study time where I learned everything. Now I<br />
don’t have one second to breathe during the day.<br />
What is the one lesson that has made the biggest<br />
impact in your life?<br />
JA: The first thing was always to get everything in<br />
writing. In business it’s hard to find people who are<br />
100% loyal and going by someone’s word can change<br />
real quick when it comes to money. Secondly, no<br />
regrets; it’s all about looking at the good and bad<br />
things as a learning experience. When the economy<br />
crashed, I lost a lot money on a home. Instead of<br />
letting it get me down, I took it as a lesson. I wasn’t<br />
careful with my money thinking I would never lose,<br />
which wasn’t a realistic mentality. Now I’m careful<br />
38<br />
about making sure there is an exit strategy.<br />
Do you feel the show represents an accurate reflection<br />
of your personality?<br />
JA: Look I have an A-type personality; I’m super<br />
aggressive. I will fight for my clients to the death and<br />
treat them like it’s my own money. You don’t get to see<br />
a lot of the home life or outside of work. I always get<br />
told “you’re nicer in real life.” There's always going to be<br />
people that love you or hate you. For me the show has<br />
been such a success with my business that I take the<br />
good with the bad.<br />
Over the course of the show you've had so many<br />
inspiring achievements, is there a moment that stands<br />
out to you as a defining one?<br />
JA: Selling the most expensive 1- bedroom in the<br />
history of California, maybe in the country. The famous<br />
Dick Zanuck 1-bedroom in Beverly Hills that sold for<br />
$20.1 million that catapulted me to the next level. When<br />
my brother and I reached a billion dollars sold, it was a<br />
big deal because we hadn’t been in the business that<br />
long. We had experts come up to us that have been in<br />
the business for 25 – 30 years congratulating us. I get<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
to work with family, love what I do, give back, travel the<br />
world, hiring and teaching other real estate agents – it’s<br />
really cool.<br />
Your clientele includes entertainers and athletes, can<br />
you share which one has been the best to work with?<br />
JA: I sold Kim [Kardashian] and Kanye [West] a house.<br />
Because they are in the public eye, people might be<br />
interested that. In my opinion she is the hardest working<br />
woman I’ve ever met. I double ended a deal for Tyler<br />
Perry - super nice guy. But I don’t treat anyone different.<br />
From a $500,000 to $30 million deal, it is the same for<br />
me because I’m learning from other successful people.<br />
Since you will be hosting the Seattle Design Awards<br />
and you were a kicker on Syracuse University’s football<br />
team, what is your view on the Seattle Seahawks?<br />
JA: Well more importantly I was born and raised in<br />
Boston so that kind of answers that question. I went<br />
to the Super Bowl and was only ten rows up. It was an<br />
amazing game; best I’ve seen in my entire life. At the<br />
end of the day it all comes down to one thing and the<br />
coin landed on us that day. But they [Seahawks] played<br />
a great game and all respect.

AUSTINthe early<br />
This ostentatious Texas city may seem quite a far stretch<br />
from the mellow greenery of Seattle, however, there<br />
is much in common between each of these cities.<br />
Bolstering music scenes, great food and drink, and tons<br />
of outdoor activities makes Austin more of a first-cousin<br />
to Seattle than a distant relative. The springtime is one<br />
of the best times to visit this unique city with moderate<br />
weather and one of the best music festivals going on in<br />
spring months.<br />
TRAVEL TIPS<br />
Travel Time:<br />
Plane: 4 hr 15 min<br />
Train: 3 days 22 hr<br />
Automobile: 38 hr 29 min<br />
Unless you absolutely love driving through some<br />
desolate areas of the US, taking a four-hour plane<br />
makes the most sense to get to Austin from Seattle.<br />
If you travel during non-peak times you can typically<br />
get a roundtrip ticket for around $400. The best times<br />
to visit Austin are September to November or March<br />
to May, when 70s and 80s are the anticipated daytime<br />
temperatures. As temperatures climb into the mid- to<br />
high 90s with high humidity, the Texan summer (June<br />
through August) is barely tolerable for unaccustomed<br />
visitors.<br />
DESTINATION TIP<br />
• When flying into Austin you will arrive at the<br />
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This isn't<br />
your typical airport though; with live music and<br />
art installations, you will quickly get the vibe for<br />
what Austin has in store for you.<br />
GETTING AROUND<br />
The best way to get around Austin is by bus and light<br />
rail. Some travelers recommend a car; however, the<br />
expense and pains of one are enough to encourage<br />
many travelers to use Capital Metro Transit. A bus<br />
connects the downtown with Austin-Bergstrom<br />
International Airport, which is located about 10<br />
miles outside of the city and handles most American<br />
commercial airlines.<br />
DESTINATION TIP<br />
• Capital Metro Transit provides bus routes<br />
that cover the city. Additionally, Austin has<br />
recently added a light-rail system that caters<br />
to popular areas of downtown; however, it<br />
only runs during rush hour (approximately<br />
5:30 a.m to 9:30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. to 7:45<br />
p.m.). If you are going to be buzzing around<br />
town, purchase a MetroPlus Day Pass ($6.00)<br />
online. The assortment of passes and its<br />
pricing is complicated; be sure to check the<br />
company's website to decide on the best pass<br />
for you.<br />
REST<br />
Austin offers a little bit of everything when choosing<br />
a place to lay your head. You have the standard four<br />
star or better hotels like The Four Seasons or The W.<br />
However, if you want to stay somewhere a little more<br />
"Austin" try the Austin Motel, located along the hip<br />
strip, South Congress Avenue. Or the Heywood Hotel<br />
in burgeoning East Austin, where restaurants and<br />
bars sprout like wildflowers, lives this seven-room<br />
hotel built out from a two-bedroom, one-bath '20s<br />
Craftsman bungalow.<br />
DESTINATION TIP<br />
• Even in the smaller more boutique hotels,<br />
expect to pay $150-$200 a night as Austin's<br />
booming tourist scene is driving up prices on<br />
all rooms until a new crop of hotels opens up<br />
sometime in the summer of 2015.<br />

DINE<br />
The city is brimming with amazing food and drink<br />
spots. Since you are in Texas you may be drawn to<br />
look for some good ol' Texas BBQ. If so try Stiles<br />
Switch BBQ & Brew (6610 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX)<br />
or Franklin BBQ (900 E. 11th St., Austin, TX). The<br />
southwest is also known for some amazing tacos. If<br />
Mexican food is your thing check out Amaya's Taco<br />
Village (5804 N Interstate 35, Austin, TX).<br />
TV FAME<br />
• If you have seen the new Bravo TV show,<br />
Best New Restaurant, you have probably<br />
seen the Austin hot-spot. Porter Ale House &<br />
Gastropub. To get a little slice of TV land stop<br />
by and make sure and order the Porter Burger.<br />
($15) (3715 S 1st St Ste A, Austin, TX 78704)<br />
DRINK<br />
Long gone are the days when Austin was a town full<br />
of college bars serving $2 well drinks. Now, there’s a<br />
watering hole for every taste, whether you’re a wine<br />
aficionado, cocktail snob or beer connoisseur. If you<br />
prefer your cocktails of the more "mixology" fancy<br />
try Midnight Cowboy (313 E. Sixth St, Austin TX).<br />
Looking for a cold-one? Head to The Brew Exchange<br />
(706 W. Sixth St, Austin TX). And of course if vino<br />
is your poison make your way to Vino Vino (4119<br />
Guadalupe St., Austin TX).<br />
NEW KID ON THE BLOCK<br />
• Austin has a lot of long-time favorite bars,<br />
however some of the newer offerings are<br />
making waves like Gatsby's. The namesake<br />
himself would feel right at home at Sixth<br />
Street’s newest Jazz Age–themed lounge,<br />
with its intimate Art Deco interior, daily<br />
performances by local jazz musicians and<br />
a 7,000-square-foot patio. Sample house<br />
specialty cocktails like the Grape Gatsby and<br />
Lemon the Life during happy hour (known as<br />
“Grog Time”) or start planning out your best<br />
flapper outfit for the bar’s annual Roaring ’20s<br />
party in April.<br />
MUSIC<br />
If Austin is the live music capital of the world, then<br />
downtown is center stage. On any given night, you can<br />
cross a new music legend off your bucket list, check<br />
out the latest indie sensation or catch a talented local<br />
upstart before word gets out. And each year SXSW lets<br />
the world in on the action that Austinites enjoy every<br />
night.<br />
DESTINATION TIP<br />
• The epitome of awesome for music lovers<br />
is a trip to Austin's SXSW music festival, an<br />
extravaganza of mingling with music industry<br />
insiders, exposure to the music of up-andcoming<br />
as well as established bands, and<br />
watching live performances.<br />
For more than 25 years, Austin has played host<br />
to the 6-day festival, which brings together<br />
thousands of attendees to hear some 2,000<br />
musical acts performing at more than 90<br />
venues around downtown Austin.<br />

DRIVE CADILLAC ESCALADE<br />
ALL HAIL THE KING<br />
When it comes to SUV's, the Cadillac Escalade is king. Since 1999, Cadillac has owned the luxury-SUV department with its flagship truck<br />
that has made Ludacris rap about and was the car of choice for the boys of HBO's Entourage. The Escalade is engrained in American culture<br />
so much that you can quickly recognize one after each iteration of the classic. The all new 2015 takes cues from the past, but also carves<br />
out a distinct niche to usher in the new era of Escalade. by JAMES ZACHODNI<br />
INTERIOR<br />
42<br />
MODERN ELEGANCE<br />
The Escalade has always had<br />
a very distinct and masculine<br />
look. The rear is dominated<br />
by signature LED lighting<br />
extending full-height, from<br />
the fascia to the roof. The twin,<br />
light-blade taillamps recall<br />
Cadillac’s design heritage<br />
while the front headlights<br />
carry through the dramatic<br />
new look.<br />
CRAFTMANSHIP<br />
It's hard to imagine the<br />
interior of the Escalade<br />
improving from previous<br />
models, but the addtions<br />
all center on the premium,<br />
layered materials and<br />
extensive use of cut-and-sew<br />
live stitching – the way fine<br />
furniture is produced.<br />
BELLS & WHISTLES<br />
The old-world elegance of<br />
the wood trim and stiched<br />
leather is contrasted nicely<br />
with modern elegance like<br />
a wireless phone charging<br />
station, electric fold down<br />
2nd and 3rd row seating, an<br />
available Blu-Ray DVD rear<br />
entertainment system and<br />
a center console chill box to<br />
keep your beverages ice cold.<br />
KEEP IT QUIET<br />
Escalade is also a quieter<br />
environment, thanks to a<br />
stronger body structure,<br />
enhanced use of noiseattenuating<br />
materials and<br />
processes, including triplesealed<br />
doors and acousticlaminate<br />
glass and Bose® Active<br />
Noise Cancelation technology.<br />
Even the exterior mirrors were<br />
carefully shaped in the wind<br />
tunnel to reduce wind noise.<br />
www.DLISTMAGAZINE.com<br />
POWER<br />
All models are offered with<br />
2WD and 4WD drivetrains, as<br />
well as a new 6.2L V-8 engine<br />
that is more powerful and<br />
more efficient than previous<br />
models. In fact, it’s powerful<br />
enough to enable 0 to 60<br />
mph performance in less than<br />
6 seconds – 5.96 seconds<br />
for Escalade 4WD and 5.98<br />
seconds for Escalade ESV 2WD.<br />
THE SAFE WAY<br />
Escalade’s new technologies<br />
include safety features to<br />
help protect occupants<br />
before, during and after a<br />
collision, such as front and<br />
rear automatic braking, which<br />
relies on short-range radar<br />
technology and ultrasonic<br />
sensors to help the driver<br />
avoid front and rear low-speed<br />
collisions via a progression of<br />
alerts that extend to complete<br />
braking, if necessary.
