Program Notes‘<strong>Chronicle</strong>’ changes, present and futureBY LOUIS BLACK<strong>The</strong> <strong>Austin</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> has long been an entityunto itself, with those of us who seem to be atthe helm actually having only limited control. Atits best, rather than being specifically authoredto reflect the opinions of only a very few, the<strong>Chronicle</strong> happens, created by staff in the rushand chaos of unending publication, week afterweek after week. Consequently, instead of being atailored polemic or a narrowly focused diary, it is anever-changing mosaic of collected bits and pieces of ideas,services, goods, issues, concerns, and happenings that emergefrom the community, our readers, and our advertisers.Still, the overall structure and patterns are more carefullycreated. <strong>The</strong>y are constantly being adjusted in both major andminor ways. <strong>The</strong> paper comes out of the community and itsown history, but, living as well in the present, it never reallystops evolving and changing. Often this just means tweaking –an ongoing effort to fine-tune the paper.<strong>The</strong>re have been many times, however, when the paper hasbeen more seriously redesigned. On a number of occasions,the changes have been so dramatic as to constitute a majoroverhaul of structure, content, and intention. Currently, weare in the midst of a long-term, comprehensive considerationof every facet of the paper. <strong>The</strong> idea is to clear one’s head,shaking off the idea of the paper as it is in order to reimagineit. This involves thinking about what the paper is supposed tobe – what serves readers, as well as what they expect – whichmeans considering not only the overall construct but all thedifferent, significant parts of which it is composed.As extensive and thorough as this major consideration is,it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be dramatic structuralchanges. <strong>The</strong> idea is not to do things differently but to makesure the <strong>Chronicle</strong> reflects the best paper that we can produce.Critical to every step of this process is really thinking aboutwhat the paper is and the purpose it serves in the communityand in our readers’ lives. <strong>The</strong> staff’s shared mission at thispoint is to concentrate time and energy on reconsidering and,hopefully, improving the <strong>Chronicle</strong>.It would be disingenuous to ignore the major changes andtechnological innovations that are affecting print media. Certaineditorial content that has been integral to the paper since it firstpagetwostarted no longer serves the same function, giventhe range and extent of new media.In this context, the goal is to make sure thatthe weekly printed edition is reader-friendly,clearly focused, and relevant, with editorial contentthat is interesting, accessible, informative,and fun. This also means evaluating the relevanceof all editorial and listings content. One thing weagree on is that we need to include more reader feedbackin each issue. <strong>The</strong>re is concern that the “Postmarks” titleitself is archaic, implying that it includes only snail mail. Wemay not be changing that name, but we will now be runningmore feedback from online posts and readers’ comments.Concurrently, this means conceptualizing the online versionas almost a different publication (though, of course, withshared qualities). One of the problematic areas is that thereis a truly staggering and extraordinary amount of informationavailable, as all of our issues dating back to 1995 have beenpublished online. <strong>The</strong>se 16 years of <strong>Chronicle</strong>s represent anembarrassment of riches in the realm of information and content,especially in regard to <strong>Austin</strong>. We are now looking at waysto improve access to all of that content.Think of it: <strong>The</strong>re are archives of everything that was publishedduring that time in the Politics and News, Arts, Food,Screens, and Music sections. But not only that – there arealso film, video, and DVD reviews; the Short Story Contests;Restaurant Poll results; info on all the Hot Sauce Festivals; theRestaurant Guide; and a listing of happy hours. <strong>The</strong>re are allthe South by Southwest issues, as well as the results of theannual <strong>Austin</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> Music Poll, the <strong>Austin</strong> Music Database,the Musicians Register, and “Best of <strong>Austin</strong>” issues. One canalso access all the regular columns and the many differentfeatures that have been published from 1995 on. <strong>The</strong>re isprobably no more complete collection of information, history,and opinion encompassing the last decade and a half of <strong>Austin</strong>theatre, food, film, art, and music available anywhere.One of the changes already decided upon is that this columnwill run in the issue at about half the length it has in thepast. My thoughts and opinions will still be as voluminous andaccessible as ever, because as soon as I figure out how to do it,I’ll be starting my own blog.THE HIGHS, THE LOWS, THE LISTSNow well into our 30th year of publication (our 30thanniversary will be Sept. 4, 2011), we’re building up tothat notable milestone by, among other things, republishingthe first year’s issues online every two weeks andrunning a contest to spot vintage ads from some of ouroriginal advertisers in each week’s paper.In addition, we’re posting an ongoing feature called“30 Things”: our lists of 30 notable (or laughable or lamentable)takes on the <strong>Chronicle</strong>’s coverage, culture, andcommentary from the past three decades.Below is a list of the “30 Things” we’ve posted so far(yes, we have some catching up to do). This week, lookfor “30 Things We Thought Were Important at theTime,” which seems self-explanatory but will no doubtreflect the sharply honed insight of News Editor MichaelKing, who stepped up and took that particular bull by theshorthorns.You can find it all on our website: austinchronicle.com/year30.30 THINGS: THE RECAPHere’s the story so far:1) 30 Things People Say When <strong>The</strong>y Visit the <strong>Chronicle</strong>Offices2) 30 Terms From ‘Chron’-style Volleyball3) 30 Clooneys4) 30 Crazy Carole Moments5) 30 Pages of Back Page Art6) 30 Personals/Messages/Shots in the Dark7) 30 Essential Environmental Stories8) 30 Ideas, Institutions, Musical Genres, etc., the‘<strong>Chronicle</strong>’ Has Declared Dead9) 30 Angry Letters10) 30 Sites Around <strong>Austin</strong> That Were Transformed IntoStages11) 30 Band Names12) 30 Oopses: Errors We Regret13) 30 ‘<strong>Chronicle</strong>’ Covers of NoteSTOREWIDE SUMMER SALELAST WEEK’S VINTAGE AD!This ad ran in our 16th issue,dated April 2, 1982. found last week’s vintage ad and got her name in the paper!paper!has also been entered in a bigger, end-of-the-year drawing fora If you want a chance to be more like ,just locate thevintage ad in the pages of this issue and go to austinchronicle.com/contestsaustinchronicle.com/contests. has also been entered in a bigger, end-of-the-year drawing for6 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o maustinchronicle.com/contestsLARKSPUR OVAL WOOD TABLE $399 00WOOD CHAIR $149 00 ea.7727 Burnet | 451-2144 | urbanlivingfurnitureaustin.com | mon. - sat. 10-6pm | sun. 1-5pmURBANLIVING

PostmarksLAST COVER VERY INAPPROPRIATEDear Editor,Ashamed: A young woman smiling with twomen sandwiching her with the suggestion of theirpenises either going between her legs or into/toward her mouth covered by “XXXX.” This on thefront cover of your paper [“<strong>The</strong> Right Snuff,” Music,July 8]. I don’t care if it’s a picture from 1977 ora lead-up to a story about some countercultureicon of <strong>Austin</strong>. So much for all the work women’smovements have done to quell the exploitationof themselves by men. Some things just don’tchange. What a sad visual, influential messagethis is for our young people who read your paper.Was it meant to get a laugh, shock value, what?Certainly there must have been other imagesabout the icon that would have drawn people toread about him. This image is just wrong. <strong>The</strong>n Ilooked up your email address, and the oppositepage was an ad: “That’s American Apparel.” Justashamed. <strong>The</strong>n again I guess if it’s accepted bythe current culture, why not print it?Kathy HullReader COMMENTRegarding Capital Metro’s services for disabled customers:“I understand it must be difficultto be a disabled citizentrying to navigate around alarge city like <strong>Austin</strong>, however itappears that up until recently Capital Metrowas going beyond the call of duty regardingtheir paratransit services. I could be wrong,but I don’t believe most cities offer more thanwhat the ADA requires, which to my understandingdoes not include these taxi voucherspurportedly issued by Capital Metro. It seemsthat Capital Metro is simply taking the stepsnecessary to ensure they can continue tooperate and continue to provide services tothe disabled community. After all, CapitalMetro is not a for-profit entity; they are fundedby the taxpayer’s money. As long as they arefollowing ADA guidelines I don’t understandthe reason for the uproar.” – Whoanelly“Access Denied,” News, July 8austinchronicle.com/commentsReader COMMENTRegarding Capital Metro’s services for disabled customers:“OK, I’ve read the articleand read the comments.Having been a part of creatinga cab voucher programhere in CT using matching federal dollars,and having worked with and advocated forpeople with disabilities, I can only say thefollowing.“People with disabilities are people first,and are as individual as nondisabled folks.<strong>The</strong> only thing they have in common is theyears of discrimination and lack of access tothe world around them. Oh yeah, the ADA providedfor some measure of access, but muchof the world is still not available. Given thefact that 20% of the population in the USAhas a disability, I’m hoping that you’ll begin tounderstand that people with disabilities arenot “those” people; they are us. With the babyboomers now coming into their elder yearsand mobility being one of the first disabilitiesto be experienced, you may want to rethinkwhat your life would be like using an ineffective,non-cost-effective paratransit system.“A recent study of the use of taxisinstead of paratransit services proved thattaxis are more cost-effective than huge gassuckingvans that are late, if you can get aride within their limited schedule.Taxis cost about half what paratransitvan does. Federal dollars pay for capitalcosts for these vans and usually states payfor operating costs. Bottom line. Statescould save tax dollars by utilizing taxisinstead of paratransit, and people with disabilitieswould have opportunities to earnmoney, shop, and maybe spend money atyour business or have a social life like therest of us enjoy.“Get it together, <strong>Austin</strong>.”“Access Denied,” News, July 8austinchronicle.com/comments– 1kbarberLETTERS TO THE EDITOR must be signed with full name and include daytime phone number, fulladdress, or email address.

Even at that tenderage he displayed a unique quality … andlet’s remember this was the 1960s whenbeing different meant something muchmore sinister than rebellious youth in currentterms. Wonderful sense of humor andincredibly smart. Flash forward to late1960s, early 1970s when having long hairmeant you were either gay, female, orworse, a hippie … there was Artly!“It is just so refreshing to know that westill have such wonderful souls out therewho made this city what it is today. <strong>Austin</strong>is unique because of people like thisman. I grew up in this town and went tothe Vulcan, the Armadillo, Soap Creek,Antone’s, the Black Queen, One Knight,and the list goes on … but for me when Ithink of Mr. Snuff it has always been theRitz on Sixth Street where I first encounteredthe Savages back when Jim Franklinand Bill Livingood had it. If you rememberthat, you know what I mean. Trust me,there are some stories here, folks.Where can I send money?

P0STMARKSCONTINUED FROM P.8Reader COMMENTRegarding Laura Croteau’s wildlife habitat vs. the city:“Dear Sir: I have been in theregulatory community for over20 years. I have been followingthis story about Ms. Croteau’snonconforming landscaping for quite a while.“In my ‘neck o’ da woods,’ the municipalityis proactive in identifying potential problems:<strong>The</strong>y look for potential problems.Another gov’t entity (usually the Departmentof Transportation) is responsible to keeptrack of accidents at various traffic linksand nodes and find solutions. Complianceis usually worked out with the lot owner.“In this city, a disagreeable neighbor/complainantbelieves that everybody should havea monoculture front yard (grass) and is usinggovernment intrusion to harrass Ms. Croteau.<strong>The</strong> code enforcement officer freely admitsthat enforcement in the city is complaint driven.Consequently, it appears that the CEO hasbeen acting in an arbitrary and capriciousmanner and has exposed his/her entire officeto litigation (which I fervently hope will ensue).“Although the city is well within its rights totrim an offending shrub, the complete removalof the flora and subsequent spraying with herbicidewithout granting Ms. Croteau her day incourt was clearly an aggressive, retaliatorymove. Further, the application of herbicide tothe certified wildlife habitat was mean-spiritedand uncalled-for.“It is my sincere hope that Ms. Croteau suesthe city, and I would certainly contribute tosuch an endeavor as any citizen should.”– mdemarest“From Shrub to Nub,” News, July 8 ‘austinchronicle.com/commentsHELP THE HOMELESSDear Editor,<strong>The</strong> homeless: We don’t want to see themor acknowledge them, but we’ve got to realizeit can happen to anyone. All it takes is to loseyour job, have a health crisis, or just make somebad choices along the way. And you’ve lost everything.Yes, there are services out there, but theyjust touch the tip of the iceberg.I talked to a young man who’s living on thestreets with his wife and his dog. I don’t thinkthere’s a mean bone in his body. He has a gentledemeanor and soft voice. He pets his dog all thetime while we’re talking and sees to her needs.<strong>The</strong>y both come from bad family situations.<strong>The</strong>y met a few years ago and have been togetherever since. Zach told me: “She’s stuck by myside, bless her heart. I don’t know why, but shehas. We had everything at one time, and shestayed with me when we lost it all.”I asked him what happened. He was involvedin an accident, broadsided by a pickup, wasinjured, and couldn’t work. From there everythingwent downhill.<strong>The</strong>y lost their apartment and were living in atent. <strong>The</strong>ir two boys were taken away becauseof unsuitable surroundings. Heather lost her job,their bags were stolen, and then the <strong>Austin</strong> PoliceDepartment showed up at the camp. <strong>The</strong>y were toldto get everything they could and move on. <strong>The</strong>y did,intending to come back for the rest of their belongings.When they returned, everything was gone –important documents, books, food, everything.All Zach wants is a big family, to feel like hebelongs, to have purpose. Everybody workingtogether could make this happen for them. <strong>The</strong>ydo deserve a second chance.<strong>The</strong>y remain hopeful for the most part. <strong>The</strong>ypray and stay together with their beloved dog.Zach feels they are learning something from allof this. When I asked him why he thinks God putus here, he told me to help one another.I am appealing to the good people of <strong>Austin</strong> tohelp them have their second chance.Ree Adamsa u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mWORKCLOTHES& MORElocally owned Since 19881701 W.

JoaquinCastro opened his run at the spanking newCongressional District 35, where – if the courtsdon’t scramble the venue first – he will face longtimeU.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett for the newly drawn seat.San Antonio homeboy Castro (his twin brother,Julian, is the mayor) formally opened his campaignwith a “meet and greet” at East <strong>Austin</strong> restaurantJuan in a Million for the awkward reason that, simplyto introduce themselves, the two declaredDemocratic candidates will have to spend more timeon the trail where they don’t live than where theypointaustindo. In the notorious GOP redrawing – still undercourt challenge – Travis County is split five ways,Bexar also five (although with one district whollywithin the county). If the lines hold, both candidateswould have to move to live in the newdistrict (not a constitutional requirement,but an obvious expectation). Dog gett,having moved from West <strong>Austin</strong> to theEastside to his current District 25, isnow outside the new 35 by a fewblocks; Castro, who lives in Republicanincumbent Rep. Francisco Canseco’sDistrict 23, would have to move acrosstown – and Doggett’s made it clear that hebelieves Castro should challenge Cansecoinstead. As drawn (58% Hispanic and with a largerBexar population), District 35 favors a San AntonioHispanic, but asked about it this week by phonefrom D.C., Doggett was quick to dispute the apparentodds against him. “Some folks at times, down inthe Valley,” he joked, “said that I should change myname to ‘Eloy,’ instead of ‘Lloyd’ – but that was adistrict [25] that was more Hispanic than this one.”Doggett still won.CONTINUED ON P.15QUOTEof theWEEK“Let’s make it clear.… This district wasn’tbuilt to unite; it wasbuilt to divide.”– Rep. Lloyd Doggett onthe new CongressionalDistrict 35

Naked City› NO CHARGES IN MADDOX CASE A Travis County grand jury hasdeclined to hand down charges related to the death in December oflegendary <strong>Austin</strong> drummer Bill Maddox.Maddox was killed in his Southwest <strong>Austin</strong>Bill Maddoxhome after a neighbor, John DeBrecht, brokeinto the home Maddox shared with his wife,Rhonda. DeBrecht attacked Rhonda; in anattempt to stop him, Rhonda shot DeBrechtin the shoulder, reports Travis CountySheriff’s Office spokesman Roger Wade.DeBrecht, who lived a half-mile from theMaddox home in the sleepy enclave of Scenic Brook, near Oak Hill,but didn’t know the couple, continued to try to attack Rhonda as Billblocked her from his advances. A scuffle ensued, and DeBrecht somehowended up with the gun. As the two men fought, the gun went off,hitting Maddox. Maddox and DeBrecht tumbled down a flight of stairs,and DeBrecht hit his head. Maddox died at the scene; DeBrecht diedthree days later, but whether his death was a direct result of the headwound wasn’t clear, Wade said. Ultimately, the grand jury, meeting lastmonth, declined to file charges against Rhonda in connection withDeBrecht’s death, and because DeBrecht is also deceased, it couldnot file charges in connection with Bill Maddox’s death.

Included are suits from Houston state Rep. Harold Duttonand some private citizens, the Mexican American LegislativeCaucus, and the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force. Plaintiffsallege that the various maps for the House, Senate, and Congressviolate the Voting Rights Act by diminishing the ability of minoritiesto elect representatives of their choosing despite the fact thatminorities – especially Hispanics – overwhelmingly drove Texas’ populationgrowth over the past decade. “We are confident a fair andlegal plan will provide additional legislative and congressional seatsfor Latinos and African Americans and give Democrats a reasonableopportunity to compete and win in districts drawn to follow theVoting Rights Act,” said Texas Democratic Party Chair Boyd Richie inan email. <strong>The</strong> hearing is of particular importance to <strong>Austin</strong>ites –Travis County was split five ways in a GOP effort to knock liberal U.S.Rep.

(Had the race been any closer, maybeTovo shoulda thanked Levy with a reappointment – hisscorched-earth screeds often have the opposite effect onthe electorate he’s hoping to influence.)That said, the Statesman-led coverage of the Tovo/Levytête-à-tête misses the bigger picture. According to the CityClerk’s Office, by the end of July, Tovo will have to makeroughly 46 board and commission appointments.Along with the Public Safety Commission – a highprofilebut solely advisory group – Tovo will alsomake appointments to the PlanningCommission and the Zoning and PlattingCommission, two groups with decision-makingauthority. Other notable appointments will beforthcoming for the Animal Advisory Commission(where Tovo’s nominee will serve as animalshelter operator), the Board of Adjustment, theDowntown Commission, the Historic LandmarkCommission, the Solid Waste Advisory Commission, theWater and Wastewater Commission, and the WaterfrontPlanning Advisory Board, to name a few.“I’m surprised by all the attention they’ve got for as littleprogress as I’ve made on them,” Tovo says of her appointments.“I’ve reviewed a lot of applications and talked tosome people interested in applying, but I have made veryfew decisions.” Obviously, a decision has been made inLevy’s case; Tovo says: “I wanted to let him know as soonas possible so that he would have an opportunity to talk toanother council member [about a reappointment]. … I wasnot interested in reappointing him.”“As far as my other appointments go, I will be reappointingsome that are currently serving,” Tovo says, calling theB&C system a “great opportunity for citizens to get involvedin city government.” However, she notes, it would be positive“to see new perspectives on some of those boards.” Onepotential change hall watchers are eyeing, for instance,regards the Planning Commission, where Tovo herself previouslyserved. <strong>The</strong> term of Chair Dave Sullivan – a Shadesupporter – is up, and Tovo told insider tip sheet In FactDaily that Sullivan (often regarded as a moderating influenceon the board) isn’t her first choice. “I had several peoplecityhallhustleFOR MORE DETAILS AND EVENTS, SEE COMMUNIT Y LIST INGS, P.48.COUNTY REDISTRICTING: LAST CHANCE Even if youcouldn’t attend one of the public hearings this month,you have one last day to weigh in on the proposednew boundaries for constable, justice of the peace,com mis sioners court, and voting precincts.

POINT AUSTIN CONTINUED FROM P.12Something Old, Something NewCuriously, Castro has thus far declined toaddress the redistricting issue per se, insteadcalling <strong>Austin</strong> his “second home” and describingthe new District 35 as an “opportunity tolink two major American cities” in commoneconomic efforts concerning transportation,clean energy, high tech, and cybersecurity,along an I-35 corridor that would become “abridge to help us do that.” Doggett, at thecenter of the re-redistricting wars for a decade,is having none of it. “Let’s make it clear. I’mready to run, I am working actively in bothcommunities, but this district wasn’t built tounite; it was built to divide. If you talk withneighborhood leaders throughout BexarCounty, the way that Bexar County was splitup and divided – the African-American community,some other communities of interestinvolving principally Hispanics – it’s outrageous.It’s as outrageous as the divisions thatoccurred in <strong>Austin</strong>.”Castro expressly punted a question fromthe crowd to describe policy differencesbetween himself and Doggett, saying thatwould be a matter for later discussion. But heslyly pointed to Doggett’s age (64, to Castro’s36), praising his “distinguished career” whilesimultaneously noting that Doggett was firstelected to the Legislature the year beforeCastro was born. He left it to other speakersto argue that it’s time for “new leadership …a new demographic … and the time for sittingand waiting for our turn is over.” To theSan Antonio media, Castro has taken a coupleof shots at Doggett for informally jumpingthe gun, but at least last week, he wascontent to sound his optimistic campaigntheme of “rebuilding the infrastructure ofopportunity” and to declare in his beamingcampaign signs, “Ahora es el momento” –“Now is the time.”Choose Your PartnerAs he said, Doggett’s certainly been inthis position before, and faithful Democraticvoters will likely be in a quandary when itcomes to choosing between the steadfastwarrior and the young challenger.

Barrientoscalled it unfair that such a choice has beenimposed on Democrats by the Republicanredistricters and said he could only hopethat “the courts would decide quickly” onfairer congressional lines.Several San Antonio Democrats have beenless equivocal, notably state Rep. MikeVillarreal, who bluntly told the San AntonioExpress-News: “<strong>The</strong> creation of District 35 isthe result of extraordinary growth of Hispanicsin Texas. It would be a travesty to not use thisopportunity to improve the under-representationof Hispanics in Congress. District 35was drawn for just this purpose.”Somehow I don’t think that’s quite whatthe GOP had in mind – considering howradically and unfairly they’ve whitened thestatewide congressional map – but that willcertainly be the argument. Doggett stronglydisagrees: “This district was drawn to cheatHispanics and African-Americans, not toempower them. We should be having threeor four new seats for Hispanics, or perhapsthree [for Hispanics] and one for African-Americans. [<strong>The</strong> GOP] denied opportunitydistricts in Dallas-Fort Worth, in Houston,and in South Texas, and claimed that theywere responding with this district and renumberingone in South Texas.”Long accustomed to divide-and-conquer,Doggett says he’s ready for another fight andpoints to his long public record of defending“social and economic justice.”“I don’t claim by any means to have beenperfect in that representation,” he told me,“but I’ve certainly struggled to keep the publicinterest first and foremost ahead, in myconcerns. Instead, the only arguments thatare made are ‘I’m new’ and to disregard theexperience and seniority that [I bring] to thejob. … Clearly, the Republican strategy wasto continue to have me drawn into districtswhere people don’t know me and that I can’twork hard enough to connect fast enough towin before an election. That didn’t work inthe Valley, I don’t think it’s going to work inSan Antonio.”Consider the reluctant battle joined.

NEWSSparks Grills Lawyers in Ultrasound CaseA crew of the usual suspects – includingrepresentatives of Texas Alliance for Life,Texas Right to Life, and the Liberty Institute –joined lawyers and reporters for a hearingJuly 6 in U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks’courtroom to hear a lawyer for a group ofTexas doctors argue that the state should berestrained from implementing the new ultrasound-before-abortionlaw while a suitchallenging its constitutionality is pending.Bebe Anderson, senior counsel for theCenter for Reproductive Rights, which isrepresenting the doctors, argued that if thelaw were to take effect this fall (it is effectiveSept. 1, but will be enforced beginning Oct. 1),it would pose a threat of irreparable harm toboth Texas doctors and women seeking safeand legal abortion care. Put bluntly, she toldSparks, the law “threatens” the con sti tu tion alrights of doctors and of all Texas women.Among Gov. Rick Perry’s “emergency”items for this year’s legislative session wasthe ultrasound bill, which had failed to passin sessions previous. <strong>The</strong> resulting law(passed in mid-May) requires women seekingabortion to first undergo an ultrasound 24hours before termination and be given theoption to view an image of the fetus and tohear the fetal heartbeat. <strong>The</strong> law alsorequires women to hear a description of fetaldevelopment – although a woman who aversthat she is a victim of rape or incest (andhas reported that to police) or whose fetussuffers from a gross abnormality (and canprove a doctor has diagnosed as such) mayopt out of hearing that description. Accordingto the state, the law is merely about ensuringinformed consent to abortion, adding anotherlayer to information already provided towomen prior to terminating a pregnancy,including information about risks associatedwith abortion (and about fetal development,making the new law redundant in this area)that the state mandated with the passage in2003 of the Woman’s Right To Know Act.But the new law is flawed, Andersonargued in court. It is vague, making it difficultfor medical providers to understand exactlywhat is required to comply with its provisions,Probe?Uh ... no thanks.and a failure to comply can result in the lossof a doctor’s medical license or even a criminalpenalty. For example, the law requires adoctor to make the fetal heartbeat audible“in a quality consistent with current medicalpractice,” but there is actually no medicalpractice that defines how that should bedone. “That really is standardless,” saidAnderson. “<strong>The</strong>re is no guidance about whatthat means.” <strong>The</strong> law also violates the FirstAmendment’s free speech provision by compellingdoctors to deliver a government scriptand forcing a captive audience of women tobe subjected to that speech – and becauseof the vagueness, doctors will likely have todeliver the speech, display the images, andplay the heartbeat to women who would preferto opt out, a situation that would violateclearly the most basic medical ethics, sheargued. <strong>The</strong> law also violates the equal protectionrights of women, reads the lawsuit, inpart because it discriminates based on sex –simply put, men seeking reproductive healthservices are not subjected to governmentintrusion in their private medical decisions,and the law suggests that a woman’s “primaryand proper role is that of mother.” For thepurposes of the injunction hearing, Andersonfocused on the vagueness and the freespeech issues as compelling and urgent reasonsto enjoin the law.But Erika Kane, appearing for the state onbehalf of the law, argued that the state doeshave the authority to mandate speech that isnecessary to ensure informed consent, whichis a compelling interest for the state.And since the plaintiff doctors have notraised a so-called “undue burden” claim, theycannot demonstrate that they’re likely to wintheir larger lawsuit, which means they shouldnot be granted an injunction. Indeed, Sparkspeppered Anderson with several questionsabout the decision not to claim that the lawplaced an undue burden on women seekingabortion – which has been the basis onwhich courts have invalidated some lawsseeking to more strictly regulate access toabortion. Sparks told Anderson that althoughhe thought he understood the lawsuit prior tothe July 6 hearing, absent an undue burdenargument, “I’m not sure what I think.” ButAnderson told the <strong>Chronicle</strong> that the Centerfor Reproductive Rights does not raise anundue burden claim in every lawsuit it brings,and in this case, she said, the constitutionalviolations permitted by the Texas law aregrave and pressing. “Most abortion casesare related to this right to privacy” and undueburden placed on that right, she said, and indeciding these cases, the courts have notmoved past those problems in order to reachadditional arguments over equal protectionand other constitutional claims. In this case,however, the CRR and plaintiff doctorsbelieve that it is particularly appropriate toproceed on alternate grounds because thereare “such serious constitutional problems.”Indeed, although Sparks appeared to questionthat approach, he was also clearly concernedabout the vagueness of numeroussections in the law. For example, he askedKane, what does “the phrase ‘understandableto a layperson’ mean” in the context of howthe doctor is supposed to explain the fetalimage, development, and heartbeat? That,Kane responded, is a “self-evident phrase.”“And if [a doctor] violates that [section]”and can lose his or her license for it, “youjust say, ‘Well, everybody knows that’?”Sparks replied. “Let’s try another one.” Howabout the phrase “current medical practice”– the language that Anderson had earlierraised as confusing – “what does thatmean?” he asked.“<strong>The</strong>re’s no separate definition” for thatwithin the law, Kane answered, and the stateis “not prescribing” a certain way that itshould be done.But isn’t that exactly what it says in thestatute, Sparks asked. Put another way, heasked Kane, if making the heartbeat audibleis not something provided for in current medicalpractice, does that mean the doctordoesn’t have to comply with that portion ofthe statute?“No,” Kane replied.“I didn’t think so,” said Sparks.U.S. District Judge Sam SparksWhen Kane said that she would have toget answers to some of Sparks’ questionsabout what certain terms in the statutemeant and would add those to a supplementfiled later with the court, Sparksresponded with a measure of incredulity:“How many supplements is it going to takefor me to understand the statute – and areyou going to send [that] out to all of the doctors”affected by the statute?In the end, said Kane, the law is reallyabout providing a woman with as much informationas possible to ensure she is makingan informed choice about terminating herpregnancy. “It’s a matter of education then… that’s the state’s position,” respondedSparks. “But isn’t it real obvious what thereal purpose of this [statute] is?”Sparks has given the lawyers 15 days tofile supplemental briefs with the court andsaid he will enter a ruling on the injunctionbefore the law is scheduled to take effectthis fall.– Jordan SmithTravis Redistricting on DeckRedistricting battles aren’t just for theLegislature; the Travis County CommissionersCourt took up the topic at its Tuesday meeting.After taking input at previous public hearings,consultants presented a commissioners mapthat would have its biggest effects in precincts1, 2, and 3 (represented by Ron Davis, SarahEckhardt, and Karen Huber, respectively).Basically, Eckhardt would give up Pflugerville toDavis, while a good chunk of far West <strong>Austin</strong>(including Steiner Ranch) would switch fromHuber to Eckhardt. Huber, although absent from the meeting, presented an alternate map that wouldmove precincts 101 and 106 in far east Travis from Davis to Precinct 4’s Margaret Gomez. Several East<strong>Austin</strong>ites, apparently motivated by an email from Davis, showed up to speak against that map andsupport either the consultants’ map or Davis’ own submission. Some speakers asked that Precinct 1 bekept exactly as it is, arguing that redistricting should be not merely about population numbers, but alsoabout East <strong>Austin</strong>’s history. Eckhardt countered: “Redistricting cannot be about sitting commissioners.It must be about the next 10 years. … While we certainly want to preserve our history, we don’t want todo it at the expense of our current circumstances.” <strong>The</strong> court also discussed constable and justice ofthe peace districts but took no action.– Lee NicholsJOHN ANDERSON16 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


NEWSOne Last Visit for Mother and Son?<strong>The</strong>re’s no way to sugarcoat it: BettyArena – the woman who, with her husband,Robert, has been trying for years to clear hersons’ names of a sexual assault that eventhe victim says never happened – is dying,and soon. She has cancer that started inher lungs and has since spread. And nowthe most pressing question is: Will she beable to see her son Michael Arena, stillincarcerated with the Texas Department ofCriminal Justice, before her passing?Right now, it appears unlikely. “<strong>The</strong> way it’slooking, I don’t think he’ll get to see his motheragain,” Robert Arena said last week. “Idon’t know how much more of this I can bear.”John and Michael Arena were 15 and14, respectively, when they allegedly sexuallyabused their cousin Stephanie, who was just7 years old at the time. Stephanie testifiedagainst Michael Arena at trial two years laterto say the abuse had happened, but just twoyears after that, she completely recantedthat testimony. Now 21, Stephanie has consistentlymaintained to anyone and everyonewho would listen that no abuse ever tookplace. Instead, she insists that her mother,LaVonna, told her to say she’d been abused– if the young girl had refused, Stephanietold the <strong>Chronicle</strong>, she believed her motherwould be sent to jail.<strong>The</strong> allegations were made in the middleof a nasty divorce between LaVonna and herthen-husband, Stephan Arena, Stephanie’sfather and uncle of John and Michael. As thedivorce was pending, LaVonna abscondedwith Stephanie to Florida, though she’d beentold by the court not to leave the state.LaVonna was afraid she’d be jailed, familyand supporters say, and convincedStephanie to accuse her cousins of molestationin order to explain her flight.<strong>The</strong> courts, however, have paid scantattention to Stephanie’s many and vociferousprotestations that her cousins are innocent.“I’m not going to give up, and neitheris my family, until [the courts] finally see itmy way,” she said last year. John Arena isout of prison now, and the Innocence Projectat Texas Southern University’s ThurgoodMichael Arena (l), shown in cap andgown with his brother John, wantsto visit his dying mother’s bedside.Marshall School of Law has told the familyit will be taking up his case. Michael Arena,however, remains incarcerated; he has beendenied parole because he has refused toadmit guilt. Late last year, his lawyer,Clinton Broden, filed a petition to have theTexas Supreme Court review the case; atpress time, that request was still pending.Unless Michael Arena is granted relief bythe Texas Supremes, he will likely be incarcerateduntil 2019 – meaning his chances ofvisiting with his mother one last time beforeher death are extremely unlikely, unless theTexas Department of Criminal Justice grantsa request from the family to have him movedfrom the unit in Dilley, Texas, where he is currentlyhoused, to a facility closer to his parents’Bell County home. Even then, it isunclear whether she would be able to travelto see her son. Michael Arena is not eligiblefor an emergency furlough, according toTDCJ, because of the nature of his offense.Inmates convicted of certain crimes – includingaggravated sexual assault of a child, thecharge against Michael Arena – are ineligiblefor any release, even in the case of familyemergencies or funerals. <strong>The</strong> family hasnonetheless filed both for a temporary transferand a furlough.“<strong>The</strong> support and care of [Betty Arena] byher family members are essential in hercare,” Dr. Robin Dauterive wrote in a shortletter to TDCJ in support of the family’s bidto have Michael Arena transferred to a unitin Gatesville. “Please take this under considerationwhen determining any conditions orconstraints affecting her family membersduring this difficult time.”Whether the transfer will be approved –and in time – remains to be seen. TDCJsays approval for transfer requests cantake up to two months. In order to be eligible,an inmate must first pass through ascreening and interview process, says TDCJspokeswoman Michelle Lyons, and ifapproved, it then may take additional timebefore a bed becomes available.

NEWSJim Blair ofBee Cave Drilling<strong>The</strong> Law(ns) of the LandWest <strong>Austin</strong> residents drill for waterJim Blair calls it “no-spill drill.”He can drop a backyard well without20,000 gallons of mud pouring down a hillside,something that was impossible just fiveyears ago. It’s meant a boom of new residentialwork for his Bee Cave Drilling business,but it’s also made him reflect on the longtermprospects of water in Texas, flowing atthe intersection of 21st century Hill Countrydevelopment and the traditional industriesthat make such development possible.“We’re as concerned about the quality andthe quantity of these aquifers as anybodyelse,” says Blair, “because that’s our livelihood.”But could this increased residentialdrilling be part of a much larger problem?Blair estimates that he has seen an average5% drop in aquifer levels nearly every yearduring his last 18 years in the businessacross the roughly 150 square miles heworks. “Of course it’s a problem, but I’m notgoing to be the one to say who can or can’thave water,” he explains. “It’s the law of theland; property owners should decide whatthey do with their water rights.”And in a summer of relentless, statewidedrought, when Lake Travis looks like it’sgoing bald from fast-declining water levels,some of <strong>Austin</strong>’s wealthier residents remaindetermined to maintain their glittering andever-thirsty green lawns. Near Balcones Drivein West <strong>Austin</strong>, heavy-duty boring equipmentlike Blair’s has appeared in the neighborhood,along with neighbors’ chatter about300-foot holes in nearby backyards. In anarea of stately lawns and six-figure houseprices, wells are apparently being constructedto maintain those lawns while skirting thecity’s watering restrictions – and the accompanyingfines. Yet it’s unknown what kind oflong-term damage this type of drilling maycause an already stressed aquifer system –and who, if anyone, has the authority to doanything about it.<strong>Austin</strong> Water, the city’s provider of waterservices to the Balcones Drive area, ischarged with conserving the Colorado Riverand is currently restricting residential wateringto two nights a week. This conservationeffort, effective as it has been, has alsobecome the catalyst for much of the drillingon Balcones as residents turn instead to tappingthe aquifers underneath their properties.Utility spokesman Jason Hill flatly told the<strong>Chronicle</strong>, “<strong>The</strong> city has no jurisdiction overresidential drilling.”Blair doesn’t support the restrictions onnew wells that other Western states haveimposed – and which would, after all, put himout of business – but he praises the LowerColorado River Authority for its impressiveeducational outreach on residential conservation.“I was pushing the Hays Trinity Con servation District to do public education whenthere was nothing but rules and no outreach,”he says. He also argues that theuntreated aquifer water makes a much bettercandidate for lawn watering than ColoradoRiver water treated at ratepayers’ expense.“If we could get a substantial number of peopleoff of municipal sources,” he says, “wewouldn’t need all these expensive watertreatment plants.”But that’s not the end of the water cycle.Environmental engineer Lauren Ross of consultantsGlenrose Engineering is convincedthe drilling is disturbing the northernEdwards Aquifer. “<strong>The</strong>y’ll go as deep asthey need to get water,” she says. <strong>The</strong> northernpart of the aquifer is hydrologically cut offfrom the rest by the Colorado River, so it isnot the same source that feeds <strong>Austin</strong>’sBarton Springs Pool. Nor is it a source forgreater <strong>Austin</strong>’s potable drinking or lawnboundwater, as most springs and aquifers ofthis kind are the result of rainwater catchmentsand their outlets rather than theColorado. But well-drilling on the aquiferCOURTESY OF RAMON MARTINEZIn a summer of relentless, statewide drought, someof <strong>Austin</strong>’s wealthier residents remain determined tomaintain their glittering and ever-thirsty green lawns.“could be diminishing the flow of smallsprings in that area, likely with endangered ornear-endangered species,” says Ross.Indeed, the whole truth about the groundwaterunder Balcones Drive is essentiallyunknown, and what is known is clouded by theregion’s geologic complexity and the inabilityof regulatory bodies to account for it. “<strong>The</strong>re’sno regulatory authority in that area,” says GuyRials of the Barton Springs/EdwardsAquifer Conservation District, speaking ofgroundwater under Balcones Drive. <strong>The</strong> stateof Texas has given the designation of “prioritygroundwater management area” to the smallstrip of land that abuts Rials’ turf and wherethe Hays Trinity Con servation District picks upjust a few miles south. “But it was basically adesignation that said the issues here need tobe addressed through some regulatory process,”says Rials. Shortly after the state’sdecision, that regulatory process was put onhold when residents voted to do without; hesays, “<strong>The</strong>re was a sentiment of overregulationby a government entity.”According to Rials, the city has nonethelessstopped approving neighborhood plats in West<strong>Austin</strong> for any new development that cannotprove access to a reliable water source. AndBlair says the city will no longer allow AW toprovide water for lawn irrigation at new developments,though well water is acceptable.Such decisions have been made sincedroughts in 2008 saw existing wells in recognizedconservation districts dug deeper anddeeper – though at Balcones Drive, no oneknows for sure which aquifer is being tapped.“<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of confusion out where theEdwards is the surface source, but beneathlies the Trinity,” said Rials. “Many of the wellsout there are hybrid wells, drawing from bothaquifers, which isn’t even allowed anymore.”<strong>The</strong>re are some state-mandated regulationsfor the priority management area thatBalcones Drive sits within – such as a dailylimit of 25,000 gallons per well – but, Rialspoints out, “<strong>The</strong>re’s no enforcement.” Texas’“rule of capture,” a law crafted in 1904 andstill enforced, declares that property ownershave nearly unlimited rights to the groundwateravailable under their land. It wasn’t untilthe late Eighties that legislation createdgroundwater conservation districts like BS/EACD, which have been playing catch-up in aseemingly fixed game ever since.Rials says he does believe that as watershortages and resource conflicts increase,some kind of regulatory body with enforcementjurisdiction will eventually be formed inthe area. However, the disparate conservationdistricts were created to manage ashared resource in a piecemeal manner,often responding to different constituents atdifferent ends of the state. Rials confided,“In our management district, only 200 of the8,500 wells even have permits, and anythingdug before 1980 has been grandfathered in.”What’s happening on Balcones Drive is<strong>Austin</strong>’s own piece of the larger crisis facinggroundwater sources throughout Texas. Untilthere is sufficient regulation or public pressureto do otherwise, it’s likely that more wellswill be drilled by residents determined to continueusing diminishing groundwater as if itwere an infinite resource. – Ramon MartinezPerry and Musharraf Do LunchGov. Rick Perry continues to build his résumé before his anticipated presidential run. However, hislatest quest for national headlines involved breaking bread with a deposed military dictator sought inhis own country on charges of conspiracy to murder. On June 12, Perry tweeted a picture of himselfand his wife Anita with former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and his wife, saying that they met“for lunch. Had a great discussion.” Why was the former Pakistani leader in Texas? Nominally, he’s on ahighly lucrative speaking tour. Butthe real reason he’s not in Pakistanis that he is in exile. Musharrafseized power in Pakistan through a1999 military coup; since he leftoffice in 2008 under threat ofimpeachment, courts have issuedwarrants against him for conspiracyto murder in the 2007 assassinationof former Pakistani Prime MinisterBenazir Bhutto.<strong>The</strong>re also are still-unresolvedquestions about how Musharrafcould not know that Osama binLaden was hiding in the Pakistanimilitary city of Abbottabad during hispresidency. His unannounced meetingwith Perry could be intended tohelp both men’s presidential aspirations, as Musharraf has claimed he will seek re-election and hasbeen railing against the recent U.S. decision to withhold $800 million in military aid to Pakistan. Atpress time, Perry’s office had not returned multiple requests for a comment on the lunch, but TexasDemocratic Party Communications Director Kirsten Gray said, “It’s interesting that the governor whothinks Juarez is in America is trying to pad his foreign policy credentials.” – Richard WhittakerJOHN ANDERSONRick Perry (l) and his lunch date, Pervez Musharraf.18 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m

NEWSDis-Harmony From the RightTexas Republicans are infamously fond ofreligious charter schools – unless, of course,the religion in question happens to be Islam.During the recent legislative session, GOPhardliners were willing to sabotage a prochartermeasure to take a potshot at onecharter provider just because of rumblings inthe conservative blogosphere over its connectionsto Turkish Muslims.Harmony Public Schools opened its firstschool in Texas in 2000 and now has morethan 30 campuses and academies statewide(including four in the <strong>Austin</strong> area)focusing on science and math education. Allhave reached at least the minimum statestandard of “academically acceptable,” withthe majority classified as “exemplary” or“recognized.” As a charter provider, Harmony’scampuses will be able to take advantageof reforms passed during the legislativespecial session allowing charter schools touse the Permanent School Fund to guaranteetheir bonds, much like regular independentschool districts. David Dunn, executivedirector of the Texas Charter SchoolsAssociation, called the reforms “huge” forcutting costs. State-backed districts like<strong>Austin</strong> have regularly reached AA or AAAbond ratings, “and the best a charterschool’s been able to get has been triple-Bplus,” he said, meaning they either cannotafford to issue bonds or they pay more inthe bond market. However, the TexasAssociation of School Boards and theTexas State Teachers Association bothwarned against leveraging the already overstretchedPermanent School Fund to arrangecheaper loans for private charters, no mattertheir faith or creed.That boon to charters was not enough toovercome fundamentalist fears of FethullahGülen, a Turkish-born investor that the religiousright has painted as a Muslim WarrenBuffett. Gülen subscribes to a traditionalistrather than secular or modern reactionaryform of Islam and advocates for improvedrelations between the Islamic and non-Islamicworlds. Yet a veritable cottage industry ofanti-Harmony bloggers has erupted, brandingthem “Gülen schools” that secretly brainwashDick and Jane into radical Islam.<strong>Austin</strong> ISD has been caught in the peripheryof this fight. Curt Olson, with Texas PublicPolicy Foundation front operation TexasBudget Source, accused the district of notshowing “due diligence” after Super in tendentMeria Carstarphen and 10 other staff membersvisited Turkey last December during afact-finding trip organized by the Rain dropTurkish House charitable foundation – aTurkish cultural group also connected to Gülen.In the last year, Raindrop has helped establishpilot Turkish cultural and language programs atO. Henry and Martin middle schools as wellas Bryker Woods Elementary. AISD ChiefAcademic Officer Ramona Trevino saidRaindrop is “working in partnership with us todevelop language curriculum” and that it plansto provide an afterschool program at <strong>Austin</strong>High next year, which could become a foreignlanguage credit course. Under the NationalSecurity Language Initia tive, the U.S. StateDepartment has classified Turkish as one ofseven languages in which the U.S. is criticallyshort of speakers. Trevino also noted thatAISD only provided in-kind support and thatRaindrop funded the pilot projects.However, this comes at a time when thedistrict is making major strategic decisionsabout curriculum, driven by finances. Duringthis year’s reduction in force, AISD cut languageprovisions at several campuses, shelvinga successful Japanese program at O.Henry while it was hosting the Turkish pilot.Trevino said that the district would “love tosee all Latin, German, Japanese, and otherlanguages have options provided in the samemanner for the benefit of AISD students inthese challenging economic times.” However,this raises the question of how dependentthe district is prepared to become on thewhims and goodwill of external funders.If those all sound like relatively innocuousfiscal concerns, then the conservative blogopherewill tell you that’s what “they” want youto think.Conservative education writer DonnaGarner (who achieved notoriety a few yearsago for demanding that the Texas EducationAgency take <strong>The</strong> Catcher in the Rye off thesyllabus) has accused Gülen of a “frog in theboiling water” conspiracy, and that by attending“his” schools, American children will besubtly “indoctrinated into pro-Islam/anti-American thinking.” After the Texas EagleForum started banging the same drum, Rep.Phil King, R-Weatherford, and several otherRepublicans voted for the school financereforms in Senate Bill 1 on the sole conditionthat the House General Investi gat ing & EthicsCommittee investigate Har mony. However, littlehas materialized beyond that nebulouspromise: Staff for Chair Chuck Hopson,R-Jacksonville, confirmed that no action hadbeen taken yet and noted that the chair hasultimate authority over what will be examinedor even if hearings will be held.Harmony Public Schools CEO Soner Tarimhas denied any “organic relationship … norany sort of financial relationship” betweenGülen and Harmony. As for the investigation,he told the <strong>Chronicle</strong> that he welcomed theopportunity to show the quality of the group’swork “whether it is in our curriculum, ourclassrooms, or our business practices.” ButTarim was concerned about the climate of criticismcoming from the right. He said, “Becausethey cannot really criticize us on performance,they are resorting to innuendo, name-calling,and fearmongering.” – Richard Whittaker20 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


NEWSEight-hundred Gullett is the last addresson a dead-end street in East <strong>Austin</strong>. From theroad, you can see the front of the housebelonging to artists Philippe Klinefelter andSunyong Chung; it’s not until you walk upthe driveway and through the fence that yousense the scale of the property. Visitors –friends, colleagues, students, and once a year,art fans on the East <strong>Austin</strong> Studio Tour – firstget a feel for the place when they set foot inthe courtyard that Klinefelter and Chungbuilt from the former facades of <strong>Austin</strong> buildingsand the discarded plantings of a branchbank or two.“When we first moved here, we were verypoor but had lots of time,” says Klinefelter.“So we went out of our way – whenever buildingswere being torn down – to take out whatwe could use. We specialized mostly in facadesand bathroom stalls.”Across the courtyard from their home,Klinefelter and Chung share studio spaces.Chung, a potter, works in the front of thebuilding on Tennessee gray marble salvagedfrom the bathrooms at Brackenridge Hospital.Klinefelter, a large-scale sculptor, has repurposedthe back of the place – what used to bea barn and before that a blacksmith’s shop –to serve as his space. Behind Klinefelter’s studio,you can walk a couple hundred feet to athird building he and Chung use as a galleryspace. This route takes you along a well-manicuredlawn past a pile of raw materials as wellas a sculpture that looks not unlike … a pileof raw materials. During the East Side StudioTour, each of the two outbuildings is used forexhibits. A visit in off-times finds as close to apeaceful retreat as you can get within <strong>Austin</strong>’scity limits.BY MIKE KANIN“<strong>The</strong>ir place is a wonderland,” says MarcyHoen, interim executive director of the <strong>Austin</strong>Creative Alliance. “Everybody who goes therewants to live there. … It’s just this magical placewhere everything’s integrated: their work lives,their home, and their private lives. Everythingabout their lives is integrated in a way thattouches people on a really deep level.”Klinefelter and Chung took 28 years toassemble their complex. During that time,they also bought property close to the housethat they purchased in late 1983 for $73,000.Klinefelter says that price was a lot at the time.Now the couple also owns three nearby rentalhomes. Yet despite nearly three decades ofeffort and residency, Klinefelter and Chung arerelative newcomers to this neighborhood.<strong>The</strong> sign for the south end of Calle Limónsits half a block from Klinefelter and Chung’sspread. Placed there in the mid-Eighties withhelp from legendary U.S. Rep. Jake Pickle, it’sevidence of East <strong>Austin</strong>’s deeper history and atribute to one of the many Hispanic familiesthat have lived in the area for nearly a century.<strong>The</strong>re, the Limóns, their kin, and a host ofother families found themselves clusteredalongside various industrial facilities in a neighborhoodalso known as El Barrio. <strong>The</strong> Limónhistory in El Barrio, of course, predates therecent decades of artistic inroads – and accompanyinggentrification – on the Eastside.In February, officials from the city of <strong>Austin</strong>’sCode Compliance Department poredover Chung and Klinefelter’s property. <strong>The</strong>ytook note of the little stuff: the space betweenthe back stairs of the couple’s living space,their shower, handrails on the staircase (orlack thereof). <strong>The</strong>y also eyed the generalarrangement of the property.PHOTOS BY JANA BIRCHUMChung notes that current home occupationrules allow for artists to have a work shed inthe same place where they live. “But,” sheadds, “[city code] states that everything has tobe contained in one dwelling. In other words,if you have your house and your garage whichyou use as your work shed, then all of yourwork has to be contained in the garage. Youcannot do work in the work garage and thentake that work with you and go to your kitchentable and do a sketch – that would be illegal.”She calls this the crux of the situation.Klinefelter and Chung’s interaction with thecity of <strong>Austin</strong>’s Code Compliance Departmentwas touched off by a complaint allegedly madeby Angela Rangel, a member of another prominentEast <strong>Austin</strong> Hispanic family. Her call camein response to one that Klinefelter made abouta disabled truck that was parked outside herhome. With the countermove, Rangel touchedoff a battle that raises several issues concerninghow independent <strong>Austin</strong> artists operate – andsimultaneously brings more public scrutiny toan already embattled city department.<strong>The</strong> episode serves as another salvo in thewider battle that rages over the character –and complexion – of the city, especially inthese rapidly changing Eastside streets.Breaking the Code<strong>The</strong> autonomy of <strong>Austin</strong>’s Code Com plianceDepartment is relatively new. It split off fromthe Solid Waste Services Department less thantwo years ago, after a city review criticizing theeffectiveness of SWS forced managementchanges there. A report prepared for the citymanager by Clarence Bibby – a consultanthired to examine the department – was criticalof then-Solid Waste Services Director WillieRhodes. Indeed, the second recommendationon a list of nearly 40 suggestions for change inthe department began: “Select new [SolidWaste Services] leaders. …”Following that review, Rhodes (in whatappeared to be an unsubtle management hintabout retirement) and one of his top deputiestransferred to Code Compliance, and thatformer division became its own department.As the city conducted a search and hiredRhodes’ Solid Waste Services replacement,current department head Bob Gedert, he andhis lieutenants continued to run CodeCompliance. Rick Cofer, co-chair of <strong>Austin</strong>’sSolid Waste Advisory Commission, had afront-row seat. He recalled in particular theCathedral of Junk incident and a Wall StreetJournal article that quoted the aesthetic judgmentof Code Compliance’s AssistantDivision Manager Ron Potts. “Some peopleare calling it art,” Potts told WSJ, “but if youlook at what it is, it’s people’s junk thatthey’ve dropped off.”Cofer remembers thinking, “What is happeningat this department that it’s on the frontpage of <strong>The</strong> Wall Street Journal?” Later, heoffered what might serve as an answer to hisown question. “It seems like the attitude ofCode Compliance is still ‘enforcement,enforcement, enforcement.’”That was supposed to change. A simpleadjustment to the department’s moniker – aswitch from Code Enforcement to Code Compliance– was intended also to signal a shift inthe way code officers thought about their rolesin the city’s bureaucracy. “I don’t know what,if anything, changed at Code [Compliance]when Willie became the director,” says Cofer.A couple of highly visible and unpopularenforcement actions that became public in thespring of 2010 didn’t help. <strong>The</strong>re was theattempt to shutter the beloved Cathedral ofJunk and a massive campaign by one residentof the Fairview neighborhood to report to thecity the various alleged code violations he’dfound on his neighbors’ properties.Code Compliance also began to take acloser look at the participants in the East<strong>Austin</strong> Studio Tour. For the past nine years,local artist Shea Little and an increasing numberof his friends and colleagues have beenannually opening their many Eastside studiosto the public. <strong>The</strong> two-weekend-long eventcomes with a map, a ton of signage, copiouscoverage in the <strong>Chronicle</strong>, and city support,22 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


<strong>The</strong> Klinefelter-Chung garden“Everybody who goes there wants to live there. … It’sjust this magical place where everything’s integrated ….”– Marcy Hoen, <strong>Austin</strong> Creative Allianceand it has become a boon to artists, who usethe popular event to sell their work. Butbecause so many studios are either augmentedwith unpermitted (and therefore,technically illegal) construction or located inthe homes of the participants, leading toanother host of technical problems, theweekend also represents a juicy target forcode enforcement. That is, whenever someonefires off a complaint.Complaints DrivenKlinefelter and Chung’s trouble started onNov. 16, 2010, when Rangel’s anonymouscomplaint – about an “unsafe fence behindthe properties” – was lodged with CodeCompliance. Though all complaints receivedby Code Compliance are afforded an officialcloak of anonymity – as, indeed, was thisone – Rangel is known around the neighborhoodas the party responsible for the dimedropped on Klinefelter and Chung.According to an official summary of action,inspector Luis Gonzales visited the propertyand responded to Rangel that day.“I contacted complainant and advised herthat I was unable to locate any fence norcould I see any violations from street vantagepoint,” he wrote. “She was at work butadvised me of a lot of information on theowner of 800 Gullet. She said that she hasbeen researching him on the internet. Iadvised her that I would call her when Imade a determination or if there was a violationof code.”Klinefelter and Chung’s fence – the originalsource of the complaint – had passedmuster. Had Gonzales’ mission been moreabout compliance and less about enforcement,that might have been the end of thematter. But he wasn’t done.Klinefelter describes Gonzales as “unusuallyintimidating.” He says that Gonzales said“that he was an ex-cop” and that “there was apolice report on the house.” Code Compliancespokesperson Melissa Martinez says that,because code can be seen as cut-and-dried,residents who have interactions with thedepartment sometimes conflate that characterwith the personality of the investigator.On Feb. 11, Gonzales and Code Com pliancesupervisor Jonathan Josephson showedup to take a closer look at the property.Josephson later said that because Klinefelterand Chung’s case is ongoing, he could offeronly limited comments about it. “We wereable to look at the whole property,” Josephsonsays. <strong>The</strong>re, he says that he and Gonzalesfound work that Josephson says was donewithout a permit, hazardous conditions, andthe inappropriate use of a property.After Gonzales and Josephson’s inspection,the summary of action recounted readslike a departmentwide hem-and-haw. OnFeb. 22, Gonzales wrote: “J. Josephsonadvised me to hold off on mailing out noticeof violation due to extraordinary circumstances.He needed an opportunity to consultwith [Code Compliance AssistantDivision Manager] Steve Ramirez.

Josephson advisedme that [city of <strong>Austin</strong> Residential PlannerSylvia Benavidez] was to set up the re-inspectionat this address and we would go alongwith her when she calls,” wrote Gonzales.On March 16, Josephson wrote that hecalled the Watershed Protection Department’sEric Kaufman and that Kaufman met withRangel on-site but “did not find any violationsat the 800 Gullett site, and the complainantwas not able to provide any specific concerns,only general concerns that have been addressedto this point.”Nevertheless, the case remained open. <strong>The</strong>latest entry in the log, which was obtained byopen records request on June 14, came onJune 8. <strong>The</strong>re, Gonzales writes that he “wasadvised by J. Josephson to hold back on thiscase due to the process in city hall that willultimately affect this case and other Art Studiocases.” According to Gonzales’ notes, Josephsonalso told him to take a picture of Klinefelterand Chung’s property every month and attachit to the case file.Klinefelter and Chung have been workingwith Benavidez from the city’s Planning andDevelopment Review Department. <strong>The</strong>y saythat Benavidez has been understanding andthat they and at least part of the city areworking proactively toward an agreeablesolution. Nevertheless, on June 16 – afterthey began talking with the <strong>Chronicle</strong> aboutthis story – Gonzales visited one of theirrental properties and left another code violationnotice. According to Klinefelter, thecouple was cited for a host of violations,including a lack of handrails for the farthestbuilding in their complex. Gonzales alsocited Klinefelter and Chung for expired constructionpermits, even though, as Klinefelterwrote in an email, “no construction had beendone since the expiration.”One Man’s Art …Klinefelter and Chung are not the only participantsin the East Side Studio Tour to facecode issues. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> filed a public informationrequest for complaint data on 180-oddaddresses that have participated in the East<strong>Austin</strong> Studio Tour over the past three years.Forty-five of them, including two of Klinefelterand Chung’s addresses, have received complaints.Some of the complaints feature languagethat would seem to be specific to anartist’s home during the tour; one simply says“reported by Ron Potts.” Some propertiesreflected multiple complaints. In all, 28 of thecomplaints turned out to be valid. Twentythreewere classified as either “no violationfound” or “unjustified complaint.”Both Martinez and Josephson say that thedepartment is bound to act on and review anycomplaint. “We can’t make assumptions aboutwhether there’s a violation or not,” saysMartinez. And, again, following a standard policythat can be either reassuring or an invitationfor abuse – depending on your side of theexchange – complaints received by the CodeCompliance Department are anonymous.Artist Barry George received four complaintsabout a space at 204 Attayac betweenMarch 2010 and 2011. In one summary, thefirst complaint, pursued by investigators MacCastillo and Kit Campbell, came in responseto a call alleging “accumulated rubbish.” Inthe summary of the case, Castillo wrote,“Most of the items there are art.” On April 19,Campbell closed the case, calling it an “unjustifiedcomplaint.”<strong>The</strong> second inspection came after a complaintagainst George for “unpermitted and/orunsafe yard art sculptures or structures andzoning violations for public event/tour usewithout authorization/permits.” InspectorDennis Vaughn took photos of the property andwaited for a use determination from other cityofficials about whether George had violated anyzoning provisions. <strong>The</strong> case was closed inSeptember 2010, with a note from Vaughn that“[n]o violation(s)” had been found.PHOTOS BY JANA BIRCHUMOn May 26, council took further action,In January 2011, someone complainedNEWS EAST AUSTIN STUDIO DE-TOUR CONTINUED FROM P.23 that there was “[t]rash, junk and debrisaround the shop area” and that someone at204 Attayac had left trash carts at the curb.This time George wasn’t so lucky. “I conductedan initial inspection on 1/3/2011 atthis address to verify all violations,” wroteVaughn in the summary. “I noticed a lot [of]junk and debris located around the metalshop area. Also, the trash carts were left atthe curb. Trash pick up is always on Friday.A notice of violation will be sent to theowner for compliance.”On Jan. 24, Vaughn wrote that he andJosephson met with George, adding, “<strong>The</strong>owner has made some progress in the removalof weeds/grass.” But when Vaughn returnedon Feb. 7, he observed that – though Georgehad “done some clean up around the property… more work is needed to bring theproperty into compliance.” According to thesummary, the case remains open.approving a change to city code that wouldretroactively grandfather “longstanding codeviolations that do not threaten public safetyor negatively impact surrounding properties.”Though the effect of this measurewould cover a wide range of properties, artistswith nondangerous code violations ontheir properties – like Klinefelter and Chung– stand to benefit. And Code Complianceloses another enforcement tool against homestudios. <strong>The</strong>re is also talk that the PlanningCommission will soon consider zoningchanges that would allow artists who live onsingle-family lots more leeway in designingand using studio space.Council Member Chris Riley co-sponsoredthe May 12 resolution with then-Mayor Pro TemMike Martinez and then-Council-Member RandiShade. “East <strong>Austin</strong> Studio Tours has become ahallowed tradition in <strong>Austin</strong>,” he says. “I believethe resolution was just a way to make sure thatour current code respects the tradition that hasRespecting the Spiritemerged – respects the spirit of the event.”“When it comes time to actually becomelegitimate, there are so many steps to gothrough that it’s actually prohibitive for anartist-run space,” says East Side Studio Tourfounder Shea Little, referring to occasionallyunconventional – but not necessarily dangerous– adaptations ofproperty by artist-residents.Little says that thestudio tour first heardrumblings about issueswith the event about twoyears ago. “We heardabout neighborhoods thatwere a little upset aboutthe tour and having spacesin residential neighborhoodsthat would generatetraffic, and those typesMarcy Hoen says that though she believesthat the city is “very motivated to be helpful,”she sees another gap. “<strong>The</strong>re currently is nosystem in place for artists to come into complianceand to learn what it is that they’re notdoing correctly before they get cited,” shesays. “<strong>The</strong>y can’t call thecoding department and say,‘Come check me out;I want to come into compliance,’because as soonas that happens, they’llget cited.”On June 29, Hoen’s organizationjoined with Little’sEast <strong>Austin</strong> Studio Tour toput on a benefit that kickstarteda microlending entitythat will provide EASTof things,” he said. “Codeartists with funds toCompliance actually contactedus and said: ‘<strong>The</strong>reare some things going on;we’re aware of the studioupgrade illegal structures intime for this November’stour.

On May 12, council instructedCity Manager Marc Ott to draft ordinance languagethat would allow artists to sell their workout of their homes a few times each year – previouslya violation of city code – effectively legalizingart sales during the East Side Studio Tour.“Any kind of a zoningchange in a singlefamilyneighborhoodis going to raiseeyebrows.”– Johnny LimónFund,” <strong>The</strong> Arts, June 24.)On July 19, Klinefelterand Chung will meet withlocal architect Gary Devin– one of the consultantsprovided by the <strong>Austin</strong>Creative Alliance to helpEAST artists with their violations– and city officials tobegin setting up a proactiveway for artists in a commercialzone to address any code issues.

“It seems like the attitude of Code Compliance is still‘enforcement, enforcement, enforcement.’”– Rick Cofer, Solid Waste Advisory CommissionNew Sheriff in TownThis spring, Rhodes finally obliged city managementand made way for new blood, whicharrives from Fort Worth on July 18 in the personof Carl Smart, the former executive assistant toFort Worth’s city manager. He has extensiveexperience in code compliance in three statesand says <strong>Austin</strong>’s department is “poised tobecome one of the best code compliance departmentsin the state – maybe even the country.”Smart seems ready to bring with him somethingof a softer touch. He says that his approachto compliance comes “without having to use thehammer as much. We’re going to put moreemphasis on educating the public, for one,” hesays. “For two, the overall approach, how youapproach people …. We are there to serve them.Good customer service, that’s a priority for me.”Solid Waste Advisory Commission ChairContested GroundKlinefelter and Chung’s three rental propertiessit facing Calle Limón, side by side onLyons Street.

Another possibility is to make sure ourCode Compliance is … mindful of the degreeof culpability of any particular violation.”But whatever the managerial shifts at CodeCompliance – or artists’ ability to bring theirrespective properties up to code – first generationEastsiders such as Klinefelter andChung remain subject to a certain lack ofacceptance from their neighbors, rooted in along-standing cultural conflict that helpedtouch off the code complaints in the firstplace. And that issue raises the need for morethan just these comparatively simple ordinanceor structural changes.homes next to him,” says Johnny Limón, whoalso notes that a zoning change that Klinefelterand Chung applied for “opened some of theresidents’ eyes.”“You know, any kind of a zoning change ina single-family neighborhood is going to raiseeyebrows,” he continues. “In the past, it probablywouldn’t have. But now, as people aremore aware and people like to protect thecommunity, it raises eyebrows.”In a May profile of the Limóns, <strong>Austin</strong>American-Statesman writer Michael Barnesnoted the political history and importance ofthe family. <strong>The</strong> Limóns are “politically active,”he writes, “and their gatherings are popularwith elected officials and aspiring candidates.”<strong>The</strong> Limóns were part of the effort toclean up the barrio in the latter portion of the20th century, including the Govalle/JohnstonTer race Combined Neighborhood Plan.“<strong>The</strong>re were many neighborhoods that werezoned light industrial/industrial,” saysLimón. “Dur ing the neighborhood plan, wewere actually able to change down a lot ofthose zonings.”In so doing, they opened the door for whatLimón suggests has been 10 years’ worth ofwecorrected some injustices that were done tothis community for many, many years – andwe don’t want to go back to that,” he says.“[But] we made this area a much better placeto live, to where now people from all walks oflife don’t mind moving over here and livinghere.”Little is also aware of the cross-cultural situation.“<strong>The</strong> studio tour, and artists in general,play a big role, or are a part of gentrification– are part of the process of, more or less, revitalizinglower-income areas like East <strong>Austin</strong>,”he says. “We come over for the cheap rent andthe unused space.”<strong>The</strong> studio tour “started to develop aswhat it was – this way of exposing artists,” hecontinues. “In effect, [it also] started exposingEast <strong>Austin</strong> to a crowd that was hesitant– or still carried that stigma from 10, 15 yearsago that was like, ‘East <strong>Austin</strong> is bad, don’tgo there.’”Nevertheless, Limón appears ready to welcomeChung, Klinefelter, and anyone else tothe Eastside. Indeed, the idea that the newcomersweave themselves into the fabric ofthe community is central to his concerns. “Tome, the gentrifiers are really investors whoJANA BIRCHUMcome in, buy a home, tear it down, and nowthey put two homes there and they turnaround and they sell it for lots of money,” hesays. “If [the artists] … really want to movehere and live here and be part of our community,you know what, I personally – andmy family that lives here – don’t have a problemwith that.”Klinefelter and Chung feel as though theyhave answered Limón’s call. “Our childrengrew up in this neighborhood,” saysKlinefelter, “We’ve been next to 10 rentalproperties for 28 years, and I know all oftheir first names.” Chung flips the criticismaround. “I suppose it goes the other waytoo,” she writes in an email. Though shenotes that some of their older Hispanicneighbors typically make it to their ownevents, “[i]n 27 years we have had open studios,I have never ever seen my ‘native’neighbors come.”In an earlier conversation, Chung was circumspectabout the whole debate, distinguishingher family’s history from somegrander demographic transition. “We’re acouple of artists who bought into this neighborhood,”she says. “[We’re trying to] carveout a little piece of earth.”AFFORDABLEAPPLIANCESWasher & dryer setsstarting at $230ALL APPLIANCES COME WITHA FREE13 MONTHWARRANTYSHOWROOM LOCATED AT 1500 W.

<strong>The</strong> Sixth WarBY MICHAEL VENTURAIn how many countries is the United States“engaged in hostilities” (as the saying goes)?As of tonight, I count six.Iraq is No. 1, of course. Many speak of Iraqas though we’re done there, but June was thedeadliest month for U.S. combat casualtiessince 2008 (<strong>The</strong> New York Times, July 1, p.A6).And Iraqis have again taken to killing oneanother in great numbers (<strong>The</strong> New York Times,July 6, p.A10). In April, our defense secretarystated that “some American troops could stayin Iraq for years, well beyond the scheduledwithdrawal” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times, April 9,p.A11). Let’s remember that it costs $500,000a year to keep just one American soldier in awar zone (<strong>The</strong> Economist, Jan. 1, p.11).Afghanistan is war No. 2. <strong>The</strong> real reasonwe’re there is at last obvious (more on that in afew paragraphs); the stated reason was to defeatal Qaeda. When Obama announced his surgein 2009, the White House “[put] the numberof Qaeda operatives [in Afghanistan]at roughly 100” (<strong>The</strong> New YorkTimes, Dec. 6, 2009, p.WK10).Recently, a senior administrationofficial said, “When we thinkabout Al Qaeda … withinAfghanistan, we say it is about50 or 75 folks” (<strong>The</strong> New YorkTimes, June 23, p.8A). All thatblood and money has diminishedthe number by 25 or 50.Meanwhile, Afghans endure carnage. Aheadline in May: “Afghan Civilian Deaths Seta Monthly Record, U.N. Says” (<strong>The</strong> New YorkTimes, June 12, p.A20). Afghanistan PresidentHamid Karzai has received millions in cashfrom Iran all along, while Washington gives hisoffice “bags of money,” too. “Asked whetherthe U.S. actually gives bags full of cash to thepresidential office, Karzai responded: ‘Yes, itdoes give bags of money’” (Associated Pressonline, Oct. 25, 2010).War No. 3: We’re lobbing missiles anddrones into Libya, apparently for a goodcause, except that it’s been going on for morethan 90 days and Obama has refused to abideby the law. That law is the War Powers Act,which requires the admittedly shaky virtueof congressional permission to continue hostilities.Obama claims that killing people withmissiles and drones does not constitute hostilities.<strong>The</strong> question is: Why would Obamautter such an obvious absurdity?When campaigning for the presidency,Obama said: “<strong>The</strong> president does not havepower under the Constitution to unilaterallyauthorize a military attack in a situation thatdoes not involve … an actual or imminentthreat to the nation” (quoted by Maureenlettersat 3amDowd, <strong>The</strong> New York Times, March 23, p.A27).He spent most of his working life teachingconstitutional law. He knows he’s in violation.Yet he rejected the opinion of lawyersin the Justice Department and the DefenseDepartment who have said he must abide bythe War Powers Act (<strong>The</strong> Economist, June 25,p.44). Obama’s “White House counsel … hasdeclared that, despite the War Powers Act, thepresident can continue the Libya campaignindefinitely without legislative support. …If the precedent Mr. Obama has created isallowed to stand, future presidents who donot like what the Justice Department is tellingthem could simply cite the example of Mr.Obama’s war in Libya” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times,June 21, p.A27).Even George W. Bush and Dick Cheneyabided by the War Powers Act. Obama, a lawyer,understands precedent. So, again, assuminghis best intentions, why would he knowinglyrisk such a dangerous precedent?<strong>The</strong> answer lies in his fourth,fifth, and sixth wars.Fourth war: “<strong>The</strong> CentralIntelligence Agency is buildinga secret air base in the MiddleEast to serve as a launching padfor strikes in Yemen using armeddrones” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times,June 15, p.A12). Fifth war: “U.S.Expands Its Drone War Into Somalia”(<strong>The</strong> New York Times, July 2, p.A1).If Obama admits that when our drones andmissiles kill foreign nationals on their ownsoil it is an act of war, then all his drone warscome into question. Congress is increasinglyconcerned about our military involvements.Obama wants their arguments shut down.He demands the power to do as he pleasesin these matters without consent from thepeople’s representatives. He knows this isunconstitutional. So: Why?Under the War Powers Act, Obama wouldprobably get what he wants concerning Libya,Yemen, and Somalia. <strong>The</strong>y are weak countries,shakily governed, if governed at all, and if herepeats “breeding ground for terrorists” everytime he’s near a microphone, Congress willlikely give in without asking for proof.<strong>The</strong> real issue is Pakistan, where “operatives,”as they’re being called, “have been barragedwith hundreds of drone strikes directedby the Central Intelligence Agency in recentyears” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times, July 2, p.A1).If Obama admits that to kill foreign nationalson their own soil with drones and missiles isan act of war, then our Constitution may forcehim to admit that the United States is at warwith Pakistan. I suspect he fears that admissionJASON STOUTdeeply. For the time being, so does Pakistan.Pakistan is our sixth war.As I’ve documented more than once,Obama announced his Afghan surge overthe hot objections of both Afghanistan andPakistan, though he led us to believe otherwise.He claimed Pakistan’s cooperation wasessential to victory, though Pakistan immediatelydenied him any consistent cooperation.Obama’s motives have recently become clear.“‘We need a base to strike targets in Pakistan,and the geography is simple: You need to dothat from Afghanistan,’ said Bruce [Riedel], aretired C.I.A. officer who conducted Mr. Obama’sfirst review of strategy in the region [my italics].… [A]dministration officials make it clearerthan ever that they view Pakistan’s harboringof terrorist groups as [a more urgent problemthan Afghanistan]. ‘We don’t see a transnationalthreat coming out of Afghanistan,’ asenior administration official said …. Later headded, ‘<strong>The</strong> threat has come from Pakistan.’”(<strong>The</strong> New York Times, June 23, p.8A.)A gathering of Pakistani colonels was asked“whom they regarded as the greatest enemy. Athird of them named America” (<strong>The</strong> Economist,June 18, p.46). “Pakistan has steadily expandedits nuclear arsenal since President Obama cameto office … putting it on a path to overtakeBritain as the world’s fifth largest nuclear weap-ons power” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times, Feb. 1, p.A1).Lately, Pakistan has upped the ante.“Deadly Shelling by Pakistan IntoAfghanistan Is Stoking Tensions,” said theheadline. “Rocket and artillery shells firedfrom Pakistan have killed 42 Afghans andwounded 48 in three provinces … over thelast five weeks …. <strong>The</strong> attacks have puzzledand angered Afghan politicians and Westerndiplomats” (<strong>The</strong> New York Times, July 4, p.A9).Are they really puzzled? No NATO bases existin the areas attacked, but the report saidnothing of CIA drone bases. Whether suchbases are there or not, Pakistan thought it wasshooting at something (unless their actionswere simply a raised fist of warning).Nothing would be more justly alarmingthan Obama’s surge having made an outand-outenemy of Islam’s sole nuclear power.If Pakistanis chose, they could gift al Qaedaa bomb – or several – to wreak havoc here.However, our war with Pakistan is still a shadowwar because neither side officially admitshostilities. That’s a good thing. It means powerfulpeople in both governments seek to cool it.If they fail, the possibilities for catastropheare many. As things stand, to dwell upon thisdoes no good. For American citizens, andeven for Congress, the sixth war is beyond ourreach, out of our hands.28 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m

THEarts32 Amanda‘ENCRYPTION’You better listen to the radioA solo work by Stephen Pruitt is a rare joy, like a total solareclipse or a fabled comet’s return. <strong>The</strong> mastermind behindFluxion Scenic and Light Design spends most of his time providingoutstanding design work for performing arts spectaclessuch as Forklift Danceworks’ <strong>The</strong> Trash Project, Mary MoodyNorthen <strong>The</strong>atre’s bobrauschenbergamerica, and TroublePuppet <strong>The</strong>ater Company’s <strong>The</strong> Jungle. But every few years,he’ll have enough time on his hands to create one of his own– though in Pruitt’s one-man projects, the spectacle owesless to extravagant production values and more to incisivewriting and theatricality that can blow your mind, as when, toillustrate the principles of Foucault, he suspended himselfupside-down and became a human pendulum.That was in 2002’s History of the World as the Center of theUniverse, and since then, Pruitt has given us only Catastrophe<strong>The</strong>ory in 2006 and “TBA” in 2009. <strong>The</strong> latter, created forFronteraFest, was a meditation on late-night radio, sounds inthe dark, and how much of life is “to be announced,” with eachaudience member listening to Pruitt through a separate radioand set of headphones. He’s now reworked the piece to explorethe wealth of information perpetually riding the electro-magneticcurrents in the air, what we filter out and what we don’t, what’struth and what’s myth, what’s clear and what’s in code. DJs,UFOs, and the mysterious creature dubbed Mothman come intoplay in the piece, newly titled Encryption and opening this weekat Salvage Vanguard <strong>The</strong>ater. Here, Pruitt decodes the work’sdevelopment … we think.– Robert Faires<strong>Austin</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong>: Where did Encryption originate?Stephen Pruitt: My performances are like [an Alexander]Calder mobile. I cruise along, doing my thing, assembling variousparts as I find them, then one day they all sort of balanceone another out and interconnect, and I know that piece isdone. In this case, radio has always been a fascination, asEyre Ward 33 After a Fashion 54 Arts Listingshas the mysterious and the unexplained fringe of science.Those were the two jumping-off points, and both go all the wayback to my childhood – and in the case of Mothman, evenbefore that, as it all happened the year before I was born.AC: How did the original piece take shape as a radio experiment?Where did form meet function?SP: It was all function at first. I knew I wanted to do theexperiment with broadcasting to everyone wearing theirown radios and headphones, but I didn’t even know whatto call it. I didn’t have time to work on the content untilafter FronteraFest publicity had already labeled it as “TBA,”but that was an absolutely brilliant title, so I ran with it andended up talking about radio, television, and those hoursin the night when they literally didn’t know what they weregoing to put on the air, so TV Guide or whoever would justput TBA – “to be announced” – into those time slots. Ididn’t really know if anyone would remember that, but I stillliked the idea of linking that metaphor to the way that lifethrows surprises at us, even when we’re not expecting anythingin particular.AC: After FronteraFest, did you want to bring it back?SP: I didn’t intend to bring that particular piece back atthe time, but the feedback from my friends, who tend tohave really great taste in theatre, was good, so I decidedthat I shouldn’t throw it out. I worked on it on and off, andit had a couple of short-circuited attempts at full production,and each time I’d put it back on the shelf. But thenI’d stumble on some new piece of the mobile and startworking on it again. <strong>The</strong> final part hit me over the head atthe end of last year, so I’ve known for a while that I neededto do it. I didn’t have any design work scheduled forJuly, so I called a few theatres to see if any of the smallerspaces were free, and SVT had room for me. If they hadn’t,I was going to do it in the woods somewhere, as a drive-inradio show.AC: How does Encryption differ from the FronteraFest piece?SP: It’s completely different, aside from the radios. Most ofthe content of the FronteraFest piece is gone now. Some ofCOURTESY OF STEPHEN PRUITTthe themes are the same, but I’ve had two years to thinkabout them a little more carefully and figure out how they fittogether, plus several new things have been added. <strong>The</strong> storytellingis stronger now, and there are subjects I neverdreamed I’d be talking about back then. Life has a way ofhappening to you when you work on something for a coupleof years.AC: Is there encrypted information in the answers you’ve justgiven me?SP: Yes. Some things have been buried quite deeply.Encryption runs July 15-30, Fridays & Saturdays, 8pm, at Salvage Vanguard<strong>The</strong>ater, 2803 Manor Rd.

We meant that the two venuesshare strikingly similar qualities: the understated elegance of thevenues themselves, the great care and consideration in the arrangementof works, and the generous amounts of space around whatthe artists have created for display. <strong>The</strong>re really was, regardless ofrelentless whispers to the contrary, no conspiracy involved at all.“When I moved here from Minneapolis,” says Schroeder, “Iquickly immersed myself in the local arts scene, going to all theexhibition openings I could, volunteering at the museums, gettingto know the artists. And I thought there needed to be more representationin the middle of the spectrum, that we could offer somethingbetween the more do-it-yourself artist galleries and the higher-endplaces like Lora Reynolds [Gallery].”<strong>The</strong> gallery’s name comes from the children’s game of Duck,Duck, Goose. Except, says Schroeder, “Where I grew up, we usedto play it by going ‘duck, duck, duck, duck, grayduck.” Uh-huh. Andpeople say <strong>Austin</strong> is weird?Well, people say <strong>Austin</strong> is a lot of things, of course, and thoseassertions depend on the identity the city offers as well as theidentity each person perceives. And that’s even more true of peoplethemselves. That’s what the artists invited by HectorHernandez – William Hundley, Carlos Donjuan, and himself – setout to investigate in “Identity Crisis.”“This is the first time I’ve used a guest curator,” says Schroeder.“Hector and I have been talking and thinking about this show for thelast two months, and he’s been so engaged with it, with exploring theconcept of identity and alter ego, how people present themselves differentlyin different situations. It’s also a sort of homage to thesuperheroes and their secret identities from Hector’s childhood. He’sdoing a collaboration with William [Hundley] on the hero identity.”“Identity Crisis” features mixed media, photography, painting, andsculpture. It’s just the sort of thing to make you leave your fortress ofsolitude, maybe don a mask or cape, and sally forth to the ongoingbastion of beauty that is grayDUCK Gallery. – Wayne Alan Brenner“Identity Crisis” opens with a reception on Friday, July 15, 7-9pm. <strong>The</strong> exhibition runsWednesday-Sunday, through August 21, at grayDUCk Gallery, 608-C W.

THE ARTSBOOKSDarkness, <strong>The</strong>n LightAmanda Eyre Ward on the story she always knewshe would tellBY KIMBERLEY JONESWhen novelist Amanda Eyre Ward was in high school, she woke from a boozy night of NewYear’s Eve partying in Manhattan to discover that a gruesome double homicide had occurred inthe suburbs where she lived. It was a new year, and this was the new normal, with the seemingsafenessof her childhood home shattered forever. <strong>The</strong> story would grow more horrific. Fiveyears after the murder – of a husband and wife, attacked in their own bedroom – the police hada suspect: a local boy, who had once lived in the house and returned to it that New Year’s Eve,raging and in a blind-drunk blackout.It’s a story Ward has never been able to shake – the awfulness of it, the nearness of it. Itbecame the jumping-off point of her fourth novel, Close Your Eyes. Nimbly netting togetherthe literary novel with a whodunit, Ward traces the aftershocks of the murder of a wife andmother in suburban New York by alternating between three voices: that of the woman’s daughter,Lauren, now an adult living in <strong>Austin</strong> but still crippled by grief and confusion; a pregnantwoman named Sylvia, who has fled a bad relationship to return to her dynamic but destructivechildhood best friend Victoria; and Victoria’s mother, Mae, whose inexhaustible drive to keepfamily secrets buried is finally failing.<strong>The</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> recently sat down with the author at a coffeehouse in the French Place neighborhood,where Ward in part set Close Your Eyes, which comes out on July 26 from Random House.<strong>Austin</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong>: You were telling me the earlystages of writing were rough going?Amanda Eyre Ward: Well, I just couldn’tfigure out how the stories were going to cometogether. <strong>The</strong> way I usually work is just to listento the characters and let them do what theywant. But I had all of these different characters,and I couldn’t figure out how they [fit]. … Iwork every day while the kids are at school, andfinally I realized I needed days with the bookand without any interruptions, so I didn’t go onThanksgiving vacation to my in-laws’. [laughs]<strong>The</strong> night before [the trip], I unpacked my stuff.And I lay on the couch and thought about thecharacters. … I totally reconceived the characterof Sylvia to the woman that’s in the book.AC: Did you put that old version of her in a drawer,or is that material lost to the character graveyard?AEW: It’s a graveyard character – and I havea lot of them. My old editor Anika [Streitfeld]said I should do a book of all the characterswho’ve disappeared. It’s excruciating, because32 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mevery story, every novel has 20 or more ofthese characters. But yeah, once I figured itout, it went pretty smoothly.AC: Do you get superstitious about the process?AEW: I would say no, but when I talk aboutit, obviously, yes. [laughs] Yeah.AC: In my mind, Lauren is the main character.Is that accurate?AEW: <strong>The</strong>re are so many iterations of thisbook. Victoria once had a whole through-lineof her own. And it all started with this murderthat happened in my town when I wasgrowing up. It started with the murder, butthen later it became about the people keepingsecrets about the murder.AC: You wrote a personal essay about the doublehomicide that inspired the book. [You can readthe essay at her website, www.amandaward.com.]I take it this story is something you’ve been carryingaround for years.AEW: Oh, yeah. It’s just the most hauntingstory. I’m interested in what people are capableJOHN ANDERSONof, and this is a guy we knew. And I’m also interestedin booze and blackout and memories.AC: Right. You seem like such a sunny person, butin the essay, you go to some pretty dark places.AEW: <strong>The</strong> Victoria character is probably theone I identify with the most. In fact, I had herperspective in the book, but people found herso off-putting.AC: She’s not an easy character to love.AEW: That was another thing, realizing in theend that she’s not redeemed. That was sad forme. When I’m writing, I tend to live the livesI didn’t live, to follow certain threads to differentconclusions. I feel very fortunate to be hereand have my shit together. ’Cause I think thereare many, many ways I could have gone.AC: <strong>The</strong> book is also very much about the effectour parents and their marriages have on our ownrelationships as we become adults.AEW: Right. Which is something that I’mthinking a lot about these days, because I ama parent – mistakes I could make and howterrifying it all is to be responsible. And youkind of have to just put that in the back ofyour mind, the way you do with [the thoughtthat] people you love could die – those darkthings – I just have to put them out of mymind in order to day-to-day pick up the kidsfrom school. But when I write, I definitely gothere. That’s the way it works for me.AC: What’s that process like, alternating betweenthe day-to-day mom and wife and the writer whoaccesses those dark things for a living?AEW: People are always saying, “Are you goingto write children’s books now?” And I say,“No, that’s not really what I do at all.” OnCape Cod, when I was first getting back tomy writing after my son was born, he was ababy, and I would bring him to day care andgo home to the house where I nursed him andwhere all his baby stuff was. And I was writingabout South Africa, apartheid-era SouthAfrica, which is so violent, and I had picturesof the townships up, and it was very jarring.So I was lucky enough that winter that I gotthis book deal and I went and rented a hotelroom for the year. So I sort of had separatelives. I would drop him off at day care and beyou know, Mom. I use my married name formy whole life with them, and then AmandaWard is the one who checks into the hoteland has all these pictures around and writesthis stuff.<strong>The</strong> strange part is not that I have that darkpart, because that’s who I’ve always been. <strong>The</strong>stranger part is carving out this other life.AC: You know, as soon as I asked you that questionabout mom-versus-writer, I wondered, wouldI ask that of a male writer?AEW: That’s a good question. And I get askedabout it a lot.AC: Do you bristle at it? You’re not defined byyour gender.AEW: I choose to give you the benefit of thedoubt and say it’s interesting [to explore] howdifferent writers work. And the fact is, femalewriters with kids have a different lot in lifethan female writers without kids, and malewriters with kids, you know. … And I thinkthat being a female Texas writer is thought ofdifferently than a male Texas writer. …This is something we talk about a lot at theTexas Book Festival. Because what is a TexasBook Festival? Is it Texas authors? Is it authorswriting about historical Texas? … <strong>The</strong>re are thosequestions of identity for the modern West.AC: How long have you lived here now?AEW: <strong>The</strong> last 15 years, on and off. I still feellike an outsider writing about <strong>Austin</strong>, and Ifeel nervous [that] people will say, “She’s nota real <strong>Austin</strong>ite.” I want to be so much; I justlove it here. As soon as we moved here, it feltlike where I wanted to stay, and I’ve neverwanted to stay anywhere before.AC: Why don’t you feel like you can call yourselfan <strong>Austin</strong>ite?AEW: It’s that Texan mythology, you know? Myson is a seventh-generation Texan, but I’m stillthe mom who came from New York. Maybe I’vejust constructed it for myself, because as a writeryou’re kind of always on the outside watchingpeople, and it’s strange to say, “This is no longersomething I’m writing about anthropologically;this is my life and my neighborhood.”AC: I’ve never thought about it that way – thata sense of belonging might be counterproductivefor a writer.AEW: I mean, that would be a rosy way to putit. It’s more probably my own issue. [laughs]But yeah, I always feel like I’m on the outsideof things, figuring it out.<strong>The</strong> launch party for Close Your Eyes takes place atBookPeople (603 N.

ARTS THE ARTSBOOKSSTYLEafter a fashion BY STEPHEN MACM ILLAN MOSERNAKIA PART DEUX I wrote my little love letterto Nakia last week. This past weekendwas the homecoming party for Nakiafrom <strong>The</strong> Voice at Threadgill’s on Sunday.Celebrating his thrilling success, Nakia performeda new range of songs with his bandthe Blues Grifters as well as Tje <strong>Austin</strong>,who was also on Cee Lo Green’s team.<strong>The</strong> evening, while a “welcome home” tribute,was also a bit of a goodbye for Nakiaas he sets off on <strong>The</strong> Voice Top 8 tour.BLACKMAILING While Gail Chovan is gallivantingaround Paris teaching fashion (notFrench as I said a few weeks ago) and writinga book with her children, I’ve been tryingdesperately to be her by helping coverBlackmail while she’s gone. It certainly hasbeen inspiring to be back in the Blackmailatelier since I have rediscovered the pleasureof sewing. I have such a love/haterelationship with sewing, so getting my feetjust a little bit wet has been exciting. LastThursday, my intern Trey Gerlich came inand worked with me, and I’ve begun teachinghim the fundamentals of sewing.Slightly higher up on the sewing learningchart is my partner in fashion crimes JackiOh, who also joined us. But we weren’tworking on any projects for me. It was allsewing for friends who needed this or thatdone. OPP, I call it: Other People’sProjects. Though Jacki and Trey wereardent students, by the end of the day andthe end of the projects, I was exhausted.It’s tough to teach sewing. I can eitherpatiently show the student how to do somethingthat may take them hours or I cansnatch it away and do it myself in five minutes.On the other hand, the gratification ofsharing my wealth of knowledge with eageracolytes is unsurpassed.STROLLING SOCO While down on SoCo, aplace where I used to spend the majority ofmy time before I moved to Bugtussle,Texas, I realized it was First Thursday. I’veavoided First Thursdays for a number ofyears since the tenor of the event changedfrom a hometown celebration of one of<strong>Austin</strong>’s most vibrant neighborhoods to littlemore than a public drunkfest. Perhaps that’sleveled off a bit. Jacki and her roommateNico and I met at Doc’s Motorworks for anibble before setting out. I’d only been toDoc’s once before when it opened and ruedthe fact that it had attracted the frat boy andsports fan crowd to an avenue that hadbeen previously noted for its style. This time,it was way too noisy inside, so we sat outsideunder the umbrellas and misters as thesun set. <strong>The</strong> food was tasty and the servicewas terrific. We then went into Parts &Labour’s latest establishment, next door toDoc’s. Parts & Labour is another one ofthose places where I went when they firstopened and was completely underwhelmed.Printed T-shirts and tennis shoes sprayedwith glitter were just not my idea of gooddesign. So dropping by the new location wasa true revelation. <strong>The</strong>y’ve taken that old,SEABROOK JONES/WWW.JUICYTHIS.COMNakia lit the stage on fire at KGSR’s Blueson the Green last week – then took time tomeet fans and sign autographs by the stage.dark alterations business and turned it into abright, spacious shop loaded with localdesigns. <strong>The</strong> ceramic South <strong>Austin</strong> coastersthat greet you upon entering are fabulous.With varying local scenes, they are $10 eachor four for $35. <strong>The</strong>re were several very attractiveand affordable collections of dresses.Notable among them is the Curry BethDunckel collection: smart, bright, fun dresseswith clean styling and easy-care fabrics for$58-68. <strong>The</strong>n it was on to see our old friendChristine Ann at Goodie Two Shoes for her10th anniversary sale. It’s so hard to imagineGTS is 10 years old! I remember the openinglike it was, well, less than 10 years ago.Shoes, dresses, and jewelry were flyingaround like a tornado had hit the place. Jackipicked up a number of charming bargains thatcame whirling around her, and then we wereoff. Our next port of call was the ContinentalClub Gallery, where we met our friend whostencils under the name of Niz (www.nizgraphics.com).Her studies in pop culture were rich,vibrant, and thought-provoking … as was ayoung woman we met, Anslee Connell, whodesigns “curvy couture” as Savannah Red(www.savannahredislove.com). Savannah’s a biggirl, and having been a big girl myself, I understandexactly how difficult it is to expressyourself though clothing that fits well and isflattering. Savannah Red is the whole package.As glamorous as a movie star done tothe nines, she is sexy, tasteful, and thoroughlydelightful. Designing for sizes 12 and up, sheabsolutely knows the ins and outs of plus-sizedesign. Wouldn’t you rather have your clothesdesigned by someone who truly understandsthe challenges?

FOODRadio SnackFood on the airwaves in <strong>Austin</strong>BY MM PACKYou can divide the world between those who listen to radio (not only in the car) and thosewho get their media fixes elsewhere. It’s been decades since radio waves – along with newspapers– were the primary connection from the larger world into American homes, and broadcastinghas gone through enormous changes since its early days. Nonetheless, radio remains importantto many people as a source of information, entertainment, and tribal connection. Music,news, sports, politics, gossip, religion, drama, and humor all have places across the spectrum ofwhat we still call the dial. Food is no exception.Because food is a hot topic, gastronomic features and news items crop up often, if randomly,in general radio programming, particularly on public radio. However, true <strong>Austin</strong> radio hound/food aficionados can follow several regularly scheduled programs that are all about food.‘<strong>The</strong> Splendid Table’ With LynneRossetto KasperKUT 90.5FM; Sundays, 11am-noonsplendidtable.publicradio.orgProbably the premier food show in thecountry, <strong>The</strong> Splendid Table has been on airsince 1994 but broadcast in <strong>Austin</strong> only fortwo years. What began as a live call-in venueon Minnesota Public Radio has evolved intoan hourlong program currently airing on 290public radio stations, SiriusXM satelliteradio, and World Radio Switzerland.<strong>The</strong> show was initially inspired by LynneRossetto Kasper’s award-winning book <strong>The</strong>Splendid Table, about the foods and customsof Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Programsnow include all manner of food-related topics:interviews with chefs and writers; storiesabout food science and policies; questionsfrom listeners; explorations of ingredients,spices, and condiments; recipes; andfood travel.Not only is Kasper knowledgeably articulate,she’s curious, enthusiastic, and a giftedinterviewer. When writer Monica Bhideasked about the most important tool for aradio host, Kasper answered, “a point ofview.” <strong>The</strong> show has won two James BeardAwards for Best National Radio Show onFood, a Gracie Allen Award for BestSyndicated Talk Show, and four Clarionawards from Women in Communication.‘Food Love <strong>Austin</strong>’ With Susan GayleKOOP 91.7FM; Thursdays, 2-3pmwww.koop.org/blogs/view.list.php?u185www.soundcloud.com/queen-of-spoons“Everything to do with food interests me,”says Susan Gayle, aka the Queen of Spoons,“except maybe a sink full of dirty dishes.”This is obvious in her program that airs onKOOP every Thursday. Though it’s been on theair less than a year, Gayle’s eclectic enthusiasmhas parlayed the show from 30 minutesto an hour of interviews with chefs, sommeliers,food writers, producers, and activists.Gayle grew up in Indiana; she spent nine yearsin San Francisco following a human resourcescareer and reveling in Bay Area food ambience.She relocated to <strong>Austin</strong> in 1993, earned aMaster of Business Administration degree at UT,and continued on her HR path. By 2008, Gayleneeded a break from the corporate world. Shespent time in Paris, raised chickens in <strong>Austin</strong>,and explored community radio at KOOP. “I didn’thave a concept for a show; I just wanted to learnhow radio worked. But I don’t do anything halfway.When I get involved with something, I totallythrow myself into it.” She explains that KOOP hasbeen on air for 16 years, and 90% of the workis done by about 100 volunteers. “You learnthrough apprenticeship: [Federal CommunicationsCom mission]-specific training, studio training,written and practical tests, working on teamsand committees. Part of the apprenticeship is‘Field & Feast’ With Cecilia NastiKUT, 90.5FM; Saturdays, 11:55am-noon;Sundays, 11-11:05amwww.fieldandfeast.comKUT’s Saturday morning listeners werewell acquainted with Growing Concerns,Cecilia Nasti’s gardening spot that ran 22years. “I came to realize that my favoriteshows were about food and food gardening,”Nasti says, so in 2011 she rebranded theshow into Field & Feast, a five-minute programabout growing food, cooking, and thepleasures of the table.After studying radio, television, and film atNorthern Illinois University, Nasti’s had anextensive career on the air. “I’ve been a fansince my grandmother gave each of us kids atransistor radio,” she says. “I love sound andwhat you can do with it. Radio is theatre ofthe mind.” In the late Seventies, she movedto Lockhart, Texas, as an AmeriCorps volunteer.She worked as a reporter/news anchorin Lockhart, Laredo, and Beau mont before landing in <strong>Austin</strong> in 1982 for extensive stints atKUT and KGSR doing production, news, and hosting. Since 2001, she’s written and hosteda daily feature for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department that airs on 100 stations.<strong>The</strong> gardening and food parts? “I think I got interested in vitro,” she says. “Food wasa unifying force in my big Italian family; my grandfather was a horticulturalist. I loved theidea of food creation – flour, sugar, salt, and liquid can make a cake. Magic!”Nasti independently produces Food & Feast, spending as many as 40 hours per showresearching, scripting, interviewing, writing related Web posts, recording backgroundsounds, mixing, and editing. “Because segments are short, I have to compress everything;it’s like cooking down a stock to get the deep, rich flavor.” Recent shows she’sespecially liked? “Interviewing Ray Benson [of Asleep at the Wheel] while he made cornsoup. Jacques Pépin. One with [wine educators] Jane Nickles and Shields Hood; we talkedabout barbecue and tasted Rosé wines. I always want to give listeners something to thinkabout, to make them feel inspired and empowered. I get immense enjoyment from that.”making a demo tape. Luckily, my demo for afood show was accepted. … What I bring tothe table is audio and interviewing skills. Myexperience facilitating large-scale meetings,keeping to a schedule, getting people to communicate– all apply to doing talk radio.“I’m pretty wide open about choosing topics,and gathering information is second nature forme. I’ve met wonderful folks in the food world.One of my biggest lessons is that people I interviewaren’t always what I expect. But when youtruly connect with someone, that connectionbecomes available to the listening audience.”PHOTOS BY JOHN ANDERSON‘Delicious Mischief’ WithJohn DeMersKJCE Talk Radio 1370AM; Saturdays, 10-11amwww.deliciousmischief.comNew Orleans native John DeMers has beena journalist/author for some time; he’s celebratinghis 40th anniversary as a writer. Afterearning a master’s degree in journalism atLouisiana State University, he worked fornewspapers, including United Press Inter national’s foreign desk in Washington, D.C. Hespent 15 years creating local food magazinesand has written more than 40 books, including‘Growing Home’ With Marla Camp Edible Radio Podcasts: www.ediblecommunities.com/radioMany <strong>Austin</strong>ites know Marla Camp as publisher of Edible <strong>Austin</strong>magazine and indefatigable producer of local food events. <strong>The</strong>y maynot realize that for two years she’s also been a radio host, first forthe Heritage Radio Network out of Brooklyn and more recently forEdible Radio podcasts.When Heritage Radio solicited hosts, Camp jumped at the chance.“I’d never done radio before,” she says, “but I’d been a fan since I wasa Tulsa teenager with an illicit transistor under the bedcovers, listeningto underground Sixties radio. <strong>The</strong>n, for four years I commuted from AnnArbor to Detroit for work. <strong>The</strong> Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor stationswere my traveling companions. Radio is such a powerful medium – I’vereceived more education from radio than [any] other way, except reading.”Having studied anthropology, art, and linguistics, Camp’s professionalbackground has been in graphic design and publishing, beginningat the Ann Arbor Observer out of college. Now owner of ImpactProductions as well as Edible <strong>Austin</strong>, she’s adept in all elements ofpublishing: writing, editing, sales, layout, graphics, and art. But radiowork meant learning new skills.“For Heritage Radio, I did my booking and research and picked mymusical interludes. I interviewed two or three guests per show, bothnational and from <strong>Austin</strong>. I recorded live interviews from my homeoffice, so sometimes you’d hear the fax machine or the cat meowing.In two years, I interviewed more than 30 food personalities, from JoelSalatin and Anna Lappé to <strong>Austin</strong>’s Elizabeth Engle hardt, Carol AnnSayle, Paula Angerstein, and David Alan.“When the editors of Edible Santa Fe and Edible San Francisco startedEdible Radio, I decided to work there since I published Edible <strong>Austin</strong>;I joined in May 2011 and have recorded two programs so far. I wanttopics of universal interest that inspire listeners and affect their thinkingabout food. Why listen to radio if it doesn’t affect you in some way?”When Edible Communities Publications won the first James BeardFoundation Award for Publication of the Year in 2011, Camp wasproud that the award committee noted that Edible Communitieswent beyond regional print magazines – it was comprehensive foodjournalism through websites, local events, and podcasts such asGrowing Home.36 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


A Brief History of Food RadioFrom its earliest days, food had a presencein radio programming. It’s generallyaccepted that the first foodradio show was in France, beginningin 1923. Dr. Édouard dePomiane was an eminent foodscientist at the Institut Pasteur,and his hobby was cooking. Hewrote a dozen cookbooks andhosted weekly programs onRadio-Paris, telling stories of hiskitchen experiences and providingrecipes suitable for home cooks. As apopular and respected cook, he was arguably the food world’sfirst media personality. Cooking With Pomiane is a charmingbook of essays and recipes from his radio shows; it’s easy to seewhy he was a star.In the U.S., long before her face graced General Mills’ productpackaging, the fictional Betty Crocker hosted her own radioshow, the first American food broadcast. Initially aired inMinnesota in 1924, the program was nationwide by 1926, and<strong>The</strong> Betty Crocker Cooking School of the Air ran for almost aquarter-century. <strong>The</strong>n, as now, Betty was a construct dreamedup by corporate executives – apparently 13 actresses at differentradio stations around the country performed as Betty,answering questions, providing tips, and generally giving listenersconfidence about cooking.Aunt Sammy, erstwhile wife of Uncle Sam, was another fictionalradio personality. Invented in 1926 by home economistsat the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the show targetedDepression-era homemakers and isolated farmwives. Providingadvice about nourishing meals, canning, preserving, and gardening,Aunt Sammy was actually 50 women reading the sameUSDA script from 50 different radio stations. <strong>The</strong> popular bookletAunt Sammy’s Radio Recipes was published, revised, andreprinted three times by 1931.Other national food radio personalities from the 1930sthrough the ’50s included “<strong>The</strong> Nation’s Homemaker,” Ida BaileyAllen; Mary Margaret McBride, an eminent radio journalist whodiscussed food and restaurants; and John MacPherson, “<strong>The</strong>Mystery Chef.”– MM.P.two food mysteries, Marfa Shadows and Marfa Rocks.In the Nineties, a New Orleans radio station manager offeredDeMers a food show. He declined until hearing the words,“We’ll pay you.” He began broadcasting the next week, teachinghimself on the job. “I found I totally loved doing radio,” he says.“I don’t ever want to be off the air.” In 2001, he moved toHous ton as food editor for the Houston <strong>Chronicle</strong>. “I came toHouston and fell in love with Texas.” For 18 months, DeMerscommuted from Houston to New Orleans every weekend to hosthis show, Delicious Mischief. <strong>The</strong>n he met the owners of Spec’sWines, Spirits & Finer Foods, who wanted to sponsor a localshow; thus the Houston version of Delicious Mischief was born.Spec’s has since expanded into <strong>Austin</strong>; an <strong>Austin</strong> edition of theradio show hit the airwaves two years ago.Although DeMers lives in Houston, he travels to <strong>Austin</strong> everysix weeks to record interviews with food and wine folks. “Liveformat is special. Although I tape shows ahead, I do it like it’slive. If there’s ambient noise, kitchen sounds, it just contributesto the radio experience.“Radio is local,” he says, “People like to hear to storiesabout their town.” However, he also travels and records abroad,particularly with winemakers. “With digital technology, I canrecord anywhere and email it to the station. I can do a show inDallas, Tuscany, or Hong Kong. Food radio has become my numberone job regarding my time, interest, and income. I want todo radio forever. My favorite word?

What about the tricksof low-budget producing? How about a crash course in accounting forfilmmakers? Moviemaker Dialogue has you covered. <strong>The</strong> guest speakersat Monday’s chat will be dropping some knowledge, just like atevery other series event, but seeing as the topic at hand is “Composingfor Film,” we anticipate an especially sweet-sounding instructional.<strong>The</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> recently swapped emails with guest speaker BrianSatterwhite, the host of KMFA’s Film Score Focus and celebrated composerof such homegrown films as Sushi: <strong>The</strong> Global Catch, Man on aMission, and Artois the Goat.– K.J.<strong>Austin</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong>: You’ve scored both narrativeand documentary films. Do you approachthe two kinds of film differently?Brian Satterwhite: Between narrative anddocs I think there are some subtle differencesin my approach. <strong>The</strong> music in a narrativefilm usually has more responsibility than itwould in a typical doc. An important scene ina narrative film might command a “to-do” listof 15-20 things the music must accomplishin order to make that scene wholly successful.In a doc that list might be 3-5 items long.<strong>The</strong>re are always exceptions but generallymusic serves a broader function in a docthan a narrative. That doesn’t necessarilymake docs any easier though.AC: You’ll be speaking at the AFS event with fellow<strong>Austin</strong>-based composers David Wingo andGraham Reynolds. Is there a tight-knit communityin town, or do y’all pretty much keep to yourselves?Are you all gunning for the same work?SHOCK VALUE: HOW A FEWECCENTRIC OUTSIDERS GAVEUS NIGHTMARES, CONQUEREDHOLLYWOOD, AND INVENTEDMODERN HORRORby Jason ZinomanPenguin, 272 pp., $25.95Writer Jason Zinoman penned a smart,take-no-prisoners piece on the origins of themodern horror film for the March 2008 issueof Vanity Fair titled “Killer Instincts.” WithShock Value he turns it into a book, one thatrivals David J. Skal’s <strong>The</strong> Monster Show: ACultural History of Horror and Carol J. Clover’sMen, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Filmfor the title of sharpest blade in Leatherface’s kitchen drawer.Zinoman’s survey of Vietnam era on bloodbaths opens withWes Craven’s still-disturbing <strong>The</strong> Last House on the Left(1972) and closes at the annual, informal “Masters of Horror”dinner nearly 40 years later, where the old pros (Craven, JohnCarpenter, Tobe Hooper) mingle with the new kids on thechopping block (Eli Roth, Robert Rodriguez, Tim Sullivan) andthe culty overlords of genre filmmaking (William Lustig, LarryCohen, Joe Lynch). In between lies the story of how a disreputable,barely extant type of filmmaking segued from the camp-seriousbastions of Roger Corman and Vincent Price’s gothy Poe pictures to thecrimson-soaked, post-countercultural killing fields of <strong>The</strong> Last House…, <strong>The</strong> Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Halloween. For John CarpenterBS: This will be my first time meeting Davidand Graham. I certainly know them by reputationand their work but I’ve never meteither face-to-face. I generally work alone sothere’s not many opportunities for me tomingle with other composers. It’s oftenassumed that I have a lot of connectionswith other music makers but really I’m tighterwith the film community.<strong>Austin</strong> has a small yet strong film industryso I guess at some level we’re all competingwith each other; however, I think we have ourdifferent core of filmmakers that we work withso I haven’t really felt any direct competitionper se. It seems our paths are pretty diverse.AC: Do you remember the first time you wereaware of a musical score while watchinga movie?BS: It was probably Star Wars (1977). I canremember spending countless hours on thefloor of my living room staring at the pictures<strong>The</strong> Twelve Films Project 58 Film Listingsinside the LP jacket while listening to themusic over and over again. John Williams’score gave me the same thrill as the filmitself. It was like magic!AC: If you could have the shot at redoing thescore for a classic film, what would it be?BS: Wow! [An] impossible question toanswer. I would have to say <strong>The</strong> CreatureFrom the Black Lagoon (1954). It’s my alltimefavorite monster flick and although Ireally adore the score that’s in there (composedby Herman Stein with contributionsfrom several other composers), I always feltbudgetary concerns for the film shortchangedthe scoring crew.I also love large-scale operatic and melodramaticfilm music so this film would be agreat vehicle to go crazy with that.Moviemaker Dialogue: Composing for Film takesplace Monday, July 18, 7pm, at the <strong>Austin</strong> StudiosScreening Room (1901 E. 51st). See www.austinfilm.orgfor ticket info.(whose middling comeback film <strong>The</strong> Ward is about to be released), itbegan in 1974 with the release of Dark Star (co-created with writerand future Alien scribe Dan O’Bannon), a sci-fi premasterpiece that thedirector described as “Waiting for Godot in space.” Not quite, really,but it’s a helluva micropitch. Craven’s seminal film was reviled by nearlyevery critic in the country, the exception being Roger Ebert, who praisedthe film’s hellish authenticity even as he was disturbed by it. Moredisturbing – technically, artfully, realistically – was Hooper’s breathtakinglywarped <strong>The</strong> Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), a film Cravendescribes here as looking “like someone stole a camera and startedkilling people.” Zinoman’s (accurate) take: “a rather nuanced (for horror)portrait of a dysfunctional family and a disappearing class of people,”an observation that could just as easily be applied, in reverse, to thedirectors and films he covers here. Explaining the lure of the NewHorror, Zinoman heads straight to Pauline Kael and notesthat the oft-repeated notion that filmgoers enjoy the horrorgenre because it provides them with a safe, presumedlycathartic glimpse into their own mortality is so much BS.dvdwatchComposer Brian SatterwhitePeople return to the horror, the horror, again and againnot because it makes them feel good but because itdoes the exact opposite. Wallowing in “the forbidden,the taboo, the disreputable” creates “confusion, notcatharsis.” It’s true: Good horror doesn’t leave you feelingsafer. It leaves you reeling, checking the locks on the frontdoor, and peering into the darkness under the bed. It disturbsand returns the viewer to a childlike state of helpless terror – the insatiableneed for which may be the most transgressive thing of all.– Marc Savlovfilm flamBY KIMBERLEY JONESIn last week’s profile of the AlamoDrafthouse’s poster boutique Mondo, wehinted at big news to come.

SCREENSThat Time ofthe MonthChristian Remde is spanning the calendaryear with his Twelve Films ProjectBY MELANIE HAUPTChristian Remde is red in the face. And inthe back of his neck, and probably his arms,too. It’s two days after a grueling, whirlwindweekend shoot for the 48 Hour Film Project,and Remde overlooked one minor detail as heand his crew wrote, shot, and edited his entryfor the competition: sunscreen. “I got a goodbase of sunburn in the morning, but really itwas the afternoon that did it for me,” he sayswryly. “People probably thought I was pregnant,because I was glowing.”Such a rookie mistake, this lack of respectfor the punishing Texas sun in the eternalstretch of hell from May to October, is unsurprising.Remde is, after all, one of <strong>Austin</strong>’smost vilified type of citizen – a Californiatransplant (by way of New York City, but still).But before we roll our collectively weird eyesand brush him off as just another one of thosepeople, perhaps we should pause and hearwhat he has to say about us; not everyonethinks we’re not as cool as we used to be, andRemde is a prime example.Back in late 2010, Remde, who has loggednearly two decades as a freelance editor,motion graphics artist, and visual effects artist,bought himself a fancy new Canon EOS 7Dcamera but had no specific plans for its use.When drawing up his New Year’s resolutionsfor 2011, he promised himself he would makea short film every month in the upcomingyear. And with that, the Twelve Films Projectwas born.“My goal [in making these films] this year,”he explains, “is to try to teach myself a lotmore, try to learn more about directing, writ-ing, filmmaking, to push myself into areasthat I hadn’t done before like shooting in astudio, making documentaries. Just try toget as good as possible at everything.” At theend of the year, Remde will have a professionalreel, available for viewing online atwww.12filmsproject.com, that demonstrateshis abilities as a filmmaker, which he hopeswill position him nicely to secure financingfor a full-length feature.Remde isn’t a newcomer to filmmaking byany stretch, even though he has no formaltraining beyond high school. His work as aneditor primed him to do what he always wantedto do – direct – and he was well-placedto do so. “I had always wanted to get intodirecting, and editing is sort of a great schoolfor how to direct. As an editor, you see a lotof other directors’ work. You get to learn fromtheir mistakes and their triumphs,” Remdeexplains. And, as a result, “you know whatyou need to make a scene – and the wholefilm – work.”With the benefit of his edit-bay educationin hand, Remde made his directorial debut in2006 with the pleasant, East Village-set shortcomedy “<strong>The</strong> Wine Bar,” in which a wellmeaningmook finds himself one of the pointsin a hilariously awkward love triangle. <strong>The</strong>film was well-received on the festival circuit,garnering audience favorite and best-of-festawards in places like Washington, D.C.; PalmSprings, Calif.; and Omaha, Neb. “It wasreally a big deal for me and was really rewardingbecause I realized, hey, maybe I could dothis,” says Remde.JOHN ANDERSONIn 2008, he and his collaborators, SethFisher and Ryan Young, released “A Walk inthe Park,” a charming vignette about a frustratedcorporate wannabe who befriends azaftig black prostitute celebrating her last daytrolling for dates in Central Park, as well as ahot dog vendor who could use some soundbusiness advice. Despite its charm, the filmwas an official selection at the 2008 HobokenInternational Film Festival but didn’t go muchfurther than that. (Both of these films canbe found at www.christianremde.com.) <strong>The</strong>nRemde met the woman who is now his wife,got married, moved to <strong>Austin</strong>, and filmed“Sketch,” a short about a young artist who’slost her hotline to the muses and a himbomodel who wants to be famous, in a condoon East Sixth Street. <strong>The</strong> film is performingextremely well at festivals, includingthis spring’s Hill Country Film Festival, butRemde found himself looking for ways tostretch himself professionally and slingshothimself out of an expensive rut.“I was tired of making one film every yearand spending a ton of money on it and hiringa crew for stuff that I sort of knew how to do,”he says. “I’m not a shooter, and I wanted toget better at that. I just wanted to learn moreabout that side of [filmmaking], learn howto light, how to do sound, and to become abetter writer, because ultimately the goal is tomake a feature.”<strong>The</strong> best way to do that, Remde reckoned,was to teach himself how to make a film fromtop to bottom, and the vehicle for doing sowas the Twelve Films Project. <strong>The</strong> first film,“Flying South,” is a bit of a disaster, andRemde will tell you that himself. “I love thescript, and I think the actors did a great job,but quite frankly, it’s a mess. I was learningon-set, and the audio is terrible. But it’s theperfect jumping-off point. <strong>The</strong> hope is that ifsomeone were to sit down and watch all 12[films], they would see the quality improvingboth technically and artistically.”February’s film, “Thirty Years,” is a littlelove letter to Remde’s wife, Julie, a referenceto one of those love-tinged passive-aggressivemaneuvers endemic to marriage. It’s a sweetenough trifle, if a bit heavy on the exposi-Christian Remde’s “360”tion, but Remde’s aesthetic eye is impressiveindeed. But come March, something magicalhappens. <strong>Austin</strong> starts to seep into theproject, and we begin to see the city throughRemde’s lens.As befits a short-film project based in theso-called live music capital of the world,the March film is a moody music video fora local band called Ghostward. “That was[Remde and Ghostward frontman AndrewRosas] running around Downtown at 3 in themorning with a camera, the two of us and acamera finding available light and shooting,”he laughs. “It was freezing cold, but fun.”While the video showcases Remde’s graphicarts and editing skills, it also reveals what“available light” looks like at 3am in <strong>Austin</strong>.<strong>The</strong>re’s Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop, the fairylittrees of the Downtown shopping districts,the desolate but clean sidewalks and streets.In April, <strong>Austin</strong> and its unique landscapeand landmarks take center stage with “360,”a 90-second-long showcase of Remde’s timelapsephotography and editing skills with thePennybacker Bridge, one of his favorite <strong>Austin</strong>landmarks, as the centerpiece. <strong>The</strong> cameraplayfully explores the bridge from nearlyevery angle possible and at all hours whiledocumenting the ebb and flow of humanmovement against the backdrop of lushlygreen Central Texas rockscapes. Seen throughRemde’s eyes, the bridge that many of ustake for granted or haven’t really thought thatmuch about unlocks memories of the joy andawe that come with a leisurely drive aroundLoop 360.From there, Remde derived inspiration froma different aspect of <strong>Austin</strong>’s natural gifts:the city’s teeming farmers’ markets and thethriving locavore food movement. May’s film,“Farm to Trailer,” marked a turning pointfor the Twelve Films Project, and Remde,who possesses a screamingly dry wit, growsanimated while talking about the film andits inception.“That’s another great thing about <strong>Austin</strong>,the amazing food scene. We go to the farmers’markets every weekend; we’re foodies,” heexclaims. “I really wanted to do a documentary.I had eaten at Odd Duck; we’d eaten at40 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


Barley Swine and loved it.” Remde was particularlyimpressed by chef Bryce Gilmore’shyperlocal “put an egg on it!” ethos in runninghis acclaimed food trailer along with therecently opened brick-and-mortar restaurant,Barley Swine. Every ingredient he uses islocal, all the way down to the olive oil andthe rice. “While a lot of restaurants do that,it’s so much harder to do that with a trailerbecause you literally have to shop weeklybecause you don’t have the space to store it.You can’t buy all of the squash at a farmers’market stall and then just keep it on ice for awhile. And with the seasonality of things andthe way the weather is kind of weird downhere, the farmers struggle with things likelate freezes. Farmers weren’t showing up tothe farmers’ markets because they had nothingto sell. So, as someone who serves food,what do you do?”Despite the fact that Gilmore had just beentapped as one of Food & Wine magazine’sBest New Chefs of 2011, he still providedRemde with all the access he needed to filmthe documentary profile. Gilmore connectedRemde with Kris Olson of Milagro Farms, thepurveyor of many of Gilmore’s ingredients.<strong>The</strong> documentary also features interviewswith Kristi Willis, a local food blogger dedicatedto sharing the pleasures of local eating(www.austinfarmtotable.com). “It was one ofthose magical experiences where everythingwent right. I put it out and it got this amazingresponse, and it was the first one of these 12films that people actuallywatched,” Remde laughs.“<strong>The</strong> popularity of this onemade people go back towatch the previous ones,because the counters onthose started going up alot after that one. I got lotsof positive comments andemails, which has beenvery rewarding. That waskind of the springboard fora lot of cool stuff.”Remde took the monthof June “off” to work onupcoming short filmsfor the project; the Junefilm, the bizarre and goofy“Heist-Off,” was his entry for the 48 HourFilm Project. July’s film is another documentary,one that focuses on charcuterie and itslocal practitioners, albeit with an eye towarda feature-length project with a broader historicalscope. “It’s kind of a fringe artisanalthing, and if you look at the kind of peoplewho are doing it, it’s cool Harley-ridingbutchers who are really into charcuterie,” hesays. “In Europe, it’s still unbelievably popularand respected, and over here, charcuterieis reduced to bologna and salami that youget at Subway. Why and how did that happen?Is that indicative of what America doesto food in general?”Remde’s current charcuterie project, forthe purposes of the short film context,focuses on Lawrence and Lee Ann KocurekWhile it may notbe an overt goal ofthe Twelve FilmsProject, as partof this process,Christian Remdehas provided<strong>Austin</strong> with a freshlens through whichto view itself.and how they and their dedicated teamat Kocurek Family Charcuterie are workingto recover European-style tradition andtechnique, with an emphasis on local ingredients.<strong>The</strong> Kocureks specialize in whatmainstream bologna eaters might find repellent– blood sausages, pâtés, rillettes, andterrines. Remde has devoted considerabletime and research to this film, from readingup on charcuterie (vis-à-vis MichaelRuhlman’s definitive Charcuterie: <strong>The</strong> Craftof Salting, Smoking, and Curing) to attendingand filming Larry Kocurek’s sausage-makingclasses (the B-roll filmed there helps supportRemde’s portrayal of the Kocureks’ missionto share their knowledge) to farm visits toextensive interviews with his subjects.“I am honored he [is filming] us,” saysChef Larry. “He is funny, puts us all atease, surprisingly stays out of our waywhile filming, but still gets the shot. I hopeit brings to light that what I do for a livingis also an art and that we are striving to bethe best at it.”Remde, inspired by hours of unused footagewith Olson as well as by his experiencesworking with Gilmore and the Kocureks,wants to stick with this fertile line of inquiryinto <strong>Austin</strong> culture. His third documentarywill focus on the resurgence of local farming.“All farms started out as local farms. Farmingwasn’t agribusiness; it was survival,” heasserts. “It was how people lived. <strong>The</strong>n itbecame a business – factories and all of that.And because words like‘organic’ and ‘local’ havebecome popular, small familyfarms have become thisthing again. But the peoplewho run them are businessmen,too. <strong>The</strong>y’re trying tokeep it honest, and I totallyrespect that.”While Remde has nointentions of becoming thenext Michael Pollan, he isdeeply interested in pursuingand portraying thoseaspects of life in <strong>Austin</strong> hefinds exciting. And while itmay not be an overt goal ofthe Twelve Films Project, aspart of this process, he has provided <strong>Austin</strong>with a fresh lens through which to viewitself. In doing so, he has managed to takea project ripe with the potential for failure– imagine how red-faced he would be if theproject had petered out after the first coupleof months – and infuse it with a deeplylocal energy that can help carry the projectthrough its second half and toward theDecember finish line. And while the gameplan for the year’s remaining films remainsrelatively loose and amorphous, Remde doeshave one idea for a film focused on anothereasily overlooked <strong>Austin</strong> landmark. But he’ssaving that one for the fall, “because it’llbe shot outdoors. I don’t need yet anothersunburn.”We’ll make a local out of him yet.AquarelleRestaurant FranaisCelebrate Bastille Day& 5th AnnualRosé FestivalThursday, July 14, 6-10pmServing 6-8 varieties of Rosé & food – $ 6aquarellerestaurant.com606 Rio Grande | 479-8117Tuesday-Saturday 5-9HAPPY HOUR 5-7a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m JULY 15, 2011 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E 41

music44 Summer Reading 66 Music Listings Off the Record will return July 29SuperstarBefore ‘Layla’ came Delaney & Bonnie & FriendsBY BOBBY WHITLOCK WITH MARC ROBERTY“One of Derek’s Dominos moved to town?” I repeated in disbelief to Saxon Pub booker David Cotton. “Which one?” DuaneAllman, 24, death by motorcycle in Macon, Ga., 1971; bassist Carl Radle, 37, death by overindulgence, 1980; drummer JimGordon, still incarcerated for stabbing his mother to death in 1983. Leaving only the nucleus of 1970’s Layla and Other AssortedLove Songs, Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock, who co-wrote the bleeding heart of their masterpiece then sang it together with savagegrace. Every Sunday at the Saxon, 6pm, Whitlock and his wife, CoCo Carmel, perform howling versions of “Why Does Love GotTo Be So Sad?” and “Anyday” among others (see “Keep On Growing,” Dec. 1, 2006). Last Labor Day weekend at the PedernalesRecording Studio, Whitlock overdubbed finishing touches to “Got To Get Better in a Little While,” from Derek & the Dominos’aborted second LP and now residing on March’s deluxe Layla reissue. In his new memoir, A Rock ’n’ Roll Autobiography (see review,p.45), the local legend remembers the Dominos’ precursors, Delaney & Bonnie, whose frontman was later married to CoCo Carmel.By the end of this episode, George Harrison readies a tape of the band for his best friend Eric Clapton. – Raoul HernandezDelaney and Bonnie were sort of a revolving door to a lot ofplayers back then, and Jimmy Karstein was the first to voluntarilyleave. He showed up at the gig one night with a high-hat,a snare and a bass drum. That was it! Delaney was pissed, but itwas show time. After the gig he said something to Jimmy aboutit and Karstein said, “Hell man, this is all I need! If I can’t cutit with this, I can’t cut it at all.” He stayed a while but left to goplay with Ricky Nelson. And later he joined JJ Cale, who hadalso left us to pursue a successful solo career. Gram Parsons,who had been a member of the International Submarine Band,the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, had spotted theband at Snoopy’s. He liked what he heard and became an earlychampion of Delaney and Bonnie. He introduced Delaney toAlan Pariser, one of the architects of the 1967 Monterey PopFestival. He was also the heir to the Dixie Lily SweetheartPaper Cup Company fortune and was loaded. Alan had thebest pot and cocaine in Los Angeles. He knew everybody inthe business and was really hooked up. He’s the one who gaveJimi Hendrix the LSD and the lighter fluid to set his guitar onfire during the Monterey Pop Festival. Alanreally loved Delaney and Bonnie and becametheir manager. He took responsibility for allof the money and all of the connections andwhat limited success Delaney & Bonnie &Friends ever had. He financed everything forthem, including their house and daily livingexpenses. He paid for the band, the roadcrew, the equipment, rehearsal place, photoshoots, studio time and just about everythingelse concerning them. That was supposed to make them freeto create. <strong>The</strong>y were free to create, all right. Over the years,they created more heartbreak for Alan than he could ultimatelybear. He finally quit the music business and started buildingrace boats. I spoke with him a few years ago, shortly before hepassed, and he wouldn’t even mention their names.As soon as Alan became Delaney & Bonnie’s manager theystarted to work out a whole new deal with another label. Thatnew deal was with Jac Holzman, owner of Elektra Records.Although previously known for their small folk label image,they had found recent success on the West Coast with theDoors and Love. <strong>The</strong>y had demonstrated that they were now alabel that could handle rock acts and were known as one of thehippest around. Although Jack had misgivings, especially aboutDelaney, he overlooked them because he loved their southernsoul music. <strong>The</strong>ir contract gave them full artistic control oftheir records, along with the artwork, which was quite unusualat the time. Once the ink had dried, Delaney & Bonnie wouldcut their second record using their own musicians, namely all“We were alllistening tomusical historyin the making andwere completelyunaware of it.”of us so-called “Friends,” and it was going to be called <strong>The</strong>Original Delaney & Bonnie & Friends Accept No Substitute.Ahead of that, Delaney & Bonnie and I went on a radiopromotional tour in February 1969. We had gone on theroad with Alan Pariser, to the top radio stations all across theUnited States. Just the three of us. We’d stop in and say thatwe wanted to play on the air. We didn’t have a record out yetbut it was soon to come. We were laying the foundation for ournew album and letting them know that we would be back witha band. On this promotional tour, I remember that Delaneyhad talked somebody into getting him a prescription of Seconalreds, a barbiturate derivative drug. He sent Bonnie and me tofind our way through downtown Atlanta, with me driving arented car, to find this obscure pharmacy in a seedy part oftown to pick up the dope. Legal, but still dope. He was alwayshogging the drugs, and this time we thought that we’d beat himto the draw. She opened the bottle and took out one for each ofus. We took them right there and then and started driving backto the hotel, then all of a sudden everything started lookingpretty grim. Those were more powerful thanwe were ready for. It buckled me at the kneesand I was sitting down! We barely made itback to the hotel alive because I was going allover the road. This was all going on in the middleof the day as well. When we finally arrivedback at the hotel, out comes Delaney lookingmore excited than I’d seen him for some time.We pulled up knowing there was going to betrouble. He said, “Where have you two beenand why did it take you so long?” We weren’t even out of thecar yet and he was going off at Bonnie. He could see that wewere pretty loopy. What we didn’t know is that while we’dbeen getting his drugs, Alan had run into Ann-Margret and herhusband, Roger Smith, in the hotel bar and we were due to goto their room to play and sing for them – ten minutes ago. Weall went straight up to Ann and Roger’s room, and they werestill waiting for us. We went in and I’m sure that they couldtell how wasted we were. Delaney was extremely pissed off buthe had to keep it to himself in front of the movie stars. Bonniesang like I had never heard before or since. I guess that she wasdoing an especially good job to keep from getting punched yetone more time. We finished and Delaney went straight to LeonRussell’s room – he happened to be in the same hotel. Delaneylocked the door on us. Closed it right in our faces.Bonnie and I went to Alan’s room, and he rolled us acouple of fat joints. We always had the Ozium out, with towelsunder the door and everything! You could easily tell who wassmoking pot, because you just had to follow your nose to theOzium spray. After a while, we went down the hall and listenedthrough the door while Delaney and Leon were working on anew number, and then banged on the door for them to let usin, but they wouldn’t. So we went back and smoked the otherjoint. You could hear them singing all the way down the hall.We heard that song come together, echoing down the hall. Sodid everyone else. We were all so very fortunate and didn’t evenknow it. We were all listening to musical history in the makingand were completely unaware of it. We sang all of the time, anyand everywhere and nobody ever complained. It would havedone them no good anyhow: Delaney would have just playedlouder and sung louder. When they were finished we all got togo in and Delaney said, “Y’all sit down and listen to this.” Wesaid, “We have been.” It was incredible listening for the firsttime to that beautiful piece of music. It was called “Superstar(Groupie).” It was a top 10 hit for the Carpenters and was alsocovered by many other people including Rita Coolidge.<strong>The</strong> Friends had changed some again, and were now CarlRadle playing bass, Jim Keltner on drums, Jerry McGee onguitar, Bobby Keys and Jim Price on horns, with Bonnie andme singing background to Delaney. I also had my savinggrace, my Hammond B3 organ. Leon Russell, another formerShindog, whom I already knew from the Asylum Choir session,also joined along with Rita Coolidge. We would laterhave drummer Jim Gordon join Jim Keltner, both playing atthe same time. You couldn’t have asked for nicer people. <strong>The</strong>only person that ever caused any discord was Delaney. His egowas massive, and it ruled every decision that he made. I neverhad any trouble with him though, because I never took whathe said too personally. We recorded the Accept No Substitutealbum at Elektra Studios in Los Angeles. It was the first forour new label, and it also signaled the beginning of the endfor Delaney & Bonnie & Friends.From Bobby Whitlock: A Rock ’n’ Roll Autobiography © 2011 BobbyWhitlock with Marc Roberty by permission of McFarland & Company, Inc., Box611, Jefferson NC 28640. www.mcfarlandpub.com.a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m JULY 15, 2011 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E 43


MUSICSummer ReadingRock & roll bookendsSEE A LITTLE LIGHT: THE TRAILOF RAGE AND MELODYby Bob Mould, withMichael AzerradLittle, Brown andCompany, 416 pp.,$24.99At 50 years old,Bob Mould has gainedperspective, bothon his life and onmusic. Unfortunately,that mild and meditativetone levelsthe entirety of hisautobiography. <strong>The</strong>singer-songwriter relates the rise and fallof Hüsker Dü, his battle for personal andsocial acceptance as a homosexual, andovercoming alcoholism and an abusiveupbringing from a point of view that seemsfar removed from the actual events. Mouldis either unable or unwilling to dive into thecomplexities and emotional depths of hispast, leaving the memoir to read with thelogistical appeal of a tour route. Part of thisnarrative problem falls to co-writer MichaelAzerrad, who brings none of the passionwith which he wrote Our Band Could BeYour Life: Scenes From the American IndieUnderground 1981-1991. Only when Mouldwrites about music, whether his own orhis influences, do those elements of rageand melody that defined Hüsker Dü rise tothe surface, as if the artist can still onlyaddress himself through the tangential surrogate.Likewise, he insightfully details theseminal Minneapolis scene he helped fosterin the 1980s, but captures little of the spirit.Even personal relationships, such as hisfallout with drummer Grant Hart, are handledwith an almost concise indifference.Rarely has such an extraordinary life beenrendered so blandly. (Catch Bob Mould atBookPeople Sunday, July 24, 7pm.)– Doug FreemanlagniappeTwo years ago, Scottish-born singer Susan Boyle wowed SimonCowell by singing “I Dreamed a Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent, a genuinediamond in the rough, rising from singing karaoke in her village to“making it” after one YouTube moment. And yet, <strong>The</strong> Woman I WasBorn To Be (Atria, 322 pp., $16, paper) paints Boyle as being as emotionallyfragile as her story is ordinary. It doesn’t help that she posedlike a frumpy toddler for the cover, and if the book is as unremarkableas her life, Boyle probably wouldn’t disagree. Rick Beyer’s <strong>The</strong>Greatest Music Stories Never Told: 100 Tales From Music HistoryTo Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy (Harper, 214 pp., $19.99) collects100 footnotes in music history, reaching back to 1400BC.

From that relatively short spancomes much of this six-chapter collection, illuminatingthe feminist, scholar, and observer. <strong>The</strong> brainson her. Willis ran critical circles around her counterparts(including former beau Robert Christgau)and took pop culture as truth, rather than passingfad or obsession, something sorely lacking in rockcriticism today. And nowhere have I found a better description of Randy Newman: “He isalso a weirdo – a straight man for a black-comedy team that consists of him and his subconsciousand expresses itself in a voice that makes me think of wet sand being easedout of a bottle.” As a woman, she was naturally better at taking in her surroundings inthe context of music, as in this passage: “Listening to most rock and roll was like walkingdown the street at night, automatically checking out the men in my vicinity: this one’sokay; that one could be trouble, watch out.” In that same essay, “Beginning To See theLight,” published in the Village Voice, 1977, she watches Patti Smith one night and asks,“I’ve always wondered if she were afraid of her considerable power.” Same could be saidfor Willis, who balanced the male rock critic’s bravado and fanboy gibberish with graceand wit.

Youngestablishes a compelling pattern of “theinward exodus, with musicians in pursuit ofrural tranquility” – evidenced by artists rangingfrom the McCartneys at Kintyre to Donovanon Skye island – and the ongoing influence ofand fascination with American roots music.For example, Texas folklorist Alan Lomax, whofled the States for eight years after beingblacklisted in Sen. Joe McCarthy’s infamousRed Channels in 1950, is credited with providing“a thunderbolt of energy” to Britain’s folkrevival and helping align the movement withmore radical activism. In doing so, ElectricEden firmly plants the freak flag of Old, WeirdAmerica back on English soil. – <strong>Austin</strong> PowellLATE, LATE AT NIGHTby Rick SpringfieldTouchstone, 320 pp., $26Released Jan. 1, 1981,with No. 1 hit “Jessie’s Girl”soon leading the way, RickSpringfield’s Working ClassDog rescued a first-classmutt.

MUSIC SUMMER READING CONTINUED FROM P.45 AN AMERICAN DEMON:FIRE AND RAIN: THE BEATLES, BOBBY WHITLOCK: A ROCK ’N’ A MEMOIRSIMON & GARFUNKEL, JAMES ROLL AUTOBIOGRAPHYby Jack GrishamTAYLOR, CSNY, AND THE LOST by Bobby WhitlockECW Press, 360 pp., $19.95 (paper)STORY OF 1970with Marc RobertyJack Grisham, legendary bad boy and malefic ringleaderby David BrowneDa Capo, 392 pp., $26<strong>The</strong>re are many waysto connect the dotsbetween the acts on thismarquee. For example:<strong>The</strong> Beatles’ AppleRecords released Taylor’ssolo debut, Taylor playedbanjo on Neil Young’s“Old Man,” and Young’sBuffalo Springfield was co-billed with Simon& Garfunkel at the Monterey InternationalPop Festival. Rolling Stone Contributing EditorDavid Browne uses these four artists andthe calendar year 1970 as an organizingdevice to chronicle capital-R rock music’stransition from late 1960s insurrection intoearly 1970s introspection. By 1970, bothMcFarland, 248 pp.,$35 (paper)Anyone who loved“Layla” knows BobbyWhitlock’s work with EricClapton in Derek & theDominos, whether hisname is familiar or not.Among rock & rollers,however, his name issynonymous with rock’sbelle epoque. Singer/songwriter/piano manWhitlock rose from the sort of backgroundthat such words as “gritty” and “rough” onlysuggest. Growing up along the Mississippi asthe son of an itinerant preacher who thumpedhis son as hard as the Bible, Whitlock paintsan unsparing portrait of a poor family whochopped and picked cotton to get by. A naturalof seminal Los Angeles punk outfit TSOL, copsfrom Dostoyevsky’s Notes From the Underground, toutinghimself as a sick manchild, relishing his nihilistic amorality,which, he explains, was not due to bad parenting(although there was that) or ingesting heroic amountsof illicit substances (ditto). No, Grisham was an actualdemon, and being incarnated within the gooshy confinesof a bipedal flesh-vessel bummed this hardcore dybbukway the fuck out. His lurid, compulsively readable storyis chock-full o’ forked tongue-in-cheek tales of juvenilemayhem, teenage defloration, and a sideways recountingof the early 1980s hardcore punk scene. His eventualredemption left this particularly ancient soul with his wit and no small amount of hardwonwisdom intact. Anyone looking for the history of those True Sounds of Liberty – theirmeteoric rise, the Los Angeles Police Department riots, their eventual fall from grace asa late 1980s hair band and stunning millennial reformation – should look elsewhere. Thisis Grisham’s godforsaken story straight up, by turns deeply disturbing and death-dark, butleavened with no small amount of damnable humor. All play and no work made Jack anythingbut a dull boy, and An American Demon is proof positive that the evil men do makeAmerican involvement in Vietnam and protestagainst the war had peaked. CSNY’s “Ohio”immortalized the killings at Kent State, butaffinity for singing and later playing pianoled him from church to honky-tonks aroundMemphis after he left home at 16, giggingfor hellishly fun reading.– Marc Savlovfew remember that most Americans initially at Stax with Albert King. After heading forwetlands of Southern Louisiana even beforethought the Ohio National Guard was justifiedin its actions. Meanwhile, the Beatles splitup in public, Simon & Garfunkel dissolved inprivate, Taylor emerged from mental malaiseto become a star, and CSNY hit No. 1 withDéjà Vu while simultaneously succumbing tointernecine squabbles. David Browne tells thestory well enough, but fragmentation alonedoes not constitute a compelling culturalthesis. Fire and Rain reads as four separatestory arcs held together with nonpivotal intersections.<strong>The</strong> ascendancy of female collaboratorssuch as Carole King and Joni Mitchellagainst the backdrop of women’s liberationis barely touched upon. Mitchell gets moreink as Graham Nash and James Taylor’s girlfriendthan as an artist, while Rita Coolidgeonly merits mention as the Yoko who brokeup CSNY. As such, the story of 1970 hardlyCalifornia in 1967 with another Southerncouple, the ragtag crew known as Delaney &Bonnie & Friends was opening for Blind Faithtwo years later. Whitlock and Clapton developeda friendship that led to his work withDerek & the Dominos and George Harrison,but it came with a price that took Whitlockdecades to redeem. Thirty-five smackers is alot for a paperback, though the photos themselvestell the story of a modern SouthernGothic. Even the names sound like Faulkner:Jimbo, Peapaw King, Big Mama, and thenotorious Aunt Dude. Co-author Marc Robertydoes literary justice to his subject’s braggadocio,for the words sound exactly like Whitlock,a raconteur on par with Kinky Friedman andRay Wiley Hubbard, and who spins thesevignettes during his Sunday night shows atthe Saxon Pub with his beloved wife, CoCothe so-called “federal flood,” while Cyril Nevillespeaks of his time as a refugee in <strong>Austin</strong>, tryingto deal with the devastation from afar. A goodportion of the book is spent with the Andrewsfamily, including Troy “Trombone Shorty”Andrews, who spotlights the importance of thedaily music scene in the Treme neighborhoodand what effect its ruin had on a younger generationof musicians. Swenson nimbly dealswith an increase in violence and turf wars, oneof the consequences of the town losing most ofits inhabitants, while also telling heartrendingstories of the irreplaceable memorabilia thatwas destroyed. <strong>The</strong> commercialization of JazzFest is covered as well, although many haveresigned themselves to relying on tourism toget New Orleans back on its feet. Some of thebook’s formatting is funky, and Swenson’s photographssprinkled throughout seem amateurish,seems lost at all.– Greg Beets Carmel.

Few will arguewith that thesis, even if the fight for survival isongoing. Swenson, a NOLA resident for morethan a decade, provides enlightening, at timesalarming, interviews with those most outspokenand visible fighting to save what was almostwashed away. Mac Rebennack, aka Dr. John,talks about his activism in trying to save theNo one can doubt the ambition of the 33⅓ series,which deals in pocket-sized academic explorations ofclassic and underrated albums. Now at 83 volumesand counting, the peril of the franchise remains hagiography,like Hank Shteamer’s uncritical love letterto Ween’s 1994 LP, Chocolate and Cheese. Just asthe ultra lo-fi duo shocked fans by hiring a producer,Shteamer might have benefited from a more criticaleditor to blunt his exuberance. Yet the fannishpendulum can swing too far the other way, into jaundicedevisceration. Poet Tony Tost needed somethingextraordinary to justify being the next writer in lineto tread on Johnny Cash’s grave. Instead, his flaweddemythologizing of the Man in Black’s 1993 resurrectionon American Recordings reads like a drunk freshmanhell-bent on swamping the reader with ill-fittingreferences to everyone from the Welsh bard Caedmonto Sarah Vowell, while smearing producer Rick Rubinas a grave robber. Crippled by Tost’s smug erudition,this volume gets a failing grade compared to DaphneCarr’s sociological examination of Nine Inch Nails’game-changing 1989 debut, Pretty Hate Machine.Ignore the last chapter, a misguided deconstructionof Hot Topic’s role in shaping alt culture, and concentrateon Carr’s revisionist portrait of Trent Reznor.Using first-person anecdotes from anonymous NINfans, she recasts the industrial goth hero as a studiosavvyballadeer of the Rust Belt – part Prince, partSpringsteen. If it feels like an accomplished master’sthesis compared to Nick Attfield’s hilarious history ofDinosaur Jr.’s 1987 sophomore album, You’re LivingAll Over Me, there’s no shame. After all, Attfield is anOxford University lecturer, but there’s no academicstuffiness here, with Attfield gleefully admitting to theridiculousness of his task. Faced with a band whoselyrics are not so much enigmatic as willfully incoherent,he makes a solid case for this being a more significantalbum than follow-up Bug. It’s only matchedby Scott Tennent’s insight into Slint’s 1991 sophomorerelease and post-rock precursor, Spiderland.Part art history, part detective story, it represents theseries’ finest intentions: encouraging the reader toput the damn book down and listen to the album.– Richard Whittaker46 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m


LEAD STORYTop Gun: Todd Whitehurst may be the“father” of 42 to 60 children, based on statisticalprobability that recognizes his virtuosityas a sperm donor, according to a JuneNew York Post profile (though one website,Donor Sibling Registry, claims to have documented129 children sired by an unnamedseed demon, who is one of 92 highly productivemen with 10 or more). Whitehurst, wholike the others, was selected based on hissperm’s profile and speed, donated weeklyfor about three years in the late 1980s (for$50 a session), and has been contacted sofar by nine teenagers who sent him their photosafter piecing together evidence identifyinghim (despite sperm banks’ promises of confidentiality).Whitehurst, acknowledging theresemblances to his “offspring,” seems tofind the relationships fulfilling, however limitedthey are. Said he, “I love Father’s Day.”BRIGHT IDEASBlow Against the Empire: Bank ofAmerica had the tables turned on it in Juneafter the company wrongfully harassed analleged mortgage scofflaw in Naples, Fla.<strong>The</strong> bank had attempted to foreclose onhomeowners Warren and Maureen Nyergeslast year even though the couple hadbought their house with cash – paid directlyto Bank of America. It took the bank a yearand a half to understand its mistake – thatis, until the Nyergeses sued and won ajudgment for expenses of $2,534, whichthe bank promptly ignored. <strong>The</strong> Nyergeses’attorney obtained a seizure order, and twosheriff’s deputies arrived with a movingtruck at the local Bank of America branchon June 3 to load $2,534 worth of furnitureand computer equipment from thebank’s offices. After about an hour on thephone with higher-ups, the local branchmanager issued a check for the money.Police in Doncaster, England, were on thelookout in June for an organized group offour female and two male shoplifters whohit a liquor store on Bentley Road in Maybut left an interesting crime-scene story onthe surveillance video. While five of thecrew distracted employees, one woman,wearing pants, walked to the back butemerged minutes later wearing a largewraparound skirt and waddling slowlytoward the front door. After the unsuspectingemployees bid farewell to the six, theydiscovered that the office safe was missingand concluded that the waddling womanwas holding it between her legs.BIG SNAKE’S COMPANY TOWNChina’s sleepy village of Zisiqiao in theZhejiang Province is actually headquartersfor the country’s revered snake industry,with 160 families raising about 3 millionserpents a year, mostly to harvest livers andgall bladders for soup, wine, and other productsconsumed for their immunity-buildingproperties. In a June Reuters dispatch, onefarmer described the 25-year evolution of“Snake Town” from a place where farmerssimply threw males and females togetherfor breeding to today’s sophisticated productionfacilities that supply proper snake diets,ROY TOMPKINSBY CHUCK SHEPHERDNew York scent artist Christopher Brosius had made his name withfragrances recalling childhood (such as Clean Baby Butt, Green Bean andBaseball Glove) but felt it was time, according to an April report in New Yorkmagazine, to approach the next frontier – to make a perfume so exclusivethat no one could smell it. By Brosius’ reasoning, the scent’s chemicals wouldprovoke whatever reactions scents provoke in those exposed to it, but theactual scent would be undetectable to the nose; hence, no one would knowwhy they were reacting as they were. By trial and error, he combined jasmine,sandalwood, and natural amber and scaled them down in power, yielding whathe calls Where We Are, <strong>The</strong>re Is No Here. Said Brosius: “<strong>The</strong> question, ‘Whatperfume are you wearing?’ should never arise.”research measures to enrich female fertility,and provide enhanced incubation conditions.THE CONTINUING CRISISPerhaps a kindergartner needs to have hisdad wait with him and wave bye-bye as hesteps onto the school bus in the morning,but Rain Price is a 10th grader (in AmericanFork, Utah), and his dad, Dale Price, neverthelesswaves from the bus stop every morning,right in front of Rain’s friends.Furthermore, according to a June report byKSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Dale makes it apoint to wear a different, “crazy” costumeevery morning (170 in all for the school year,including, once, a wedding dress).Alleged gang members Barbara Lee, 45, andMarco Ibanez, 19, were arrested in HallandaleBeach, Fla., in April and charged in the assaultand stabbing of four people. Lee was at theOcean’s Eleven Lounge one evening when shesaw several people in a group make handsigns that she interpreted as disrespecting herown gang’s signs and left to recruit Ibanez tocome administer retribution, according topolice. Unknown to Lee or Ibanez, it was agroup of deaf people using sign language.OOPS!Rescues: 1) A 93-year-old woman was rescuedby medics in Philadelphia in April afterspending several days stuck in her own toilet.(According to KYW-TV, she had to be carriedout with a portion of the toilet still stuck tightlyto her body.) 2) In Tooting, England, in May, anunnamed senior was rescued by firefightersafter he got his testicles caught in a showerseat in which he was sitting while bathing.Parkridge Medical Center in Chattanooga,Tenn., apologized and paid the bill in Junefor exhuming the body of the recentlydeceased Kenneth Manis. <strong>The</strong> man who hadshared Manis’ hospital room during his finaldays had reported that his dentures weremissing, and the hospital determined thatthey had been mistakenly buried with Manis.FETISHES ON PARADEToshihiko Mizuno, 55, was arrested inTokyo in June after three young girls reportedthat he had persuaded them to spit for himso that he could record it on video and assistwith “research” he was doing on “saliva.”Police later discovered 26 videotapes, featuringabout 400 young girls spitting. Accordingto local media sources, Mizuno has had theobsession for 17 years, successfully gettingat least 500 girls to spit, among the estimated4,000 he propositioned.Visit Chuck Shepherd daily atwww.newsoftheweird.blogspot.com(or www.newsoftheweird.com).Send your Weird News to: Chuck Shepherd, PO Box18737, Tampa, FL 33679 or weirdnewstips@yahoo.com.©2010 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE732-2211 ext. 3Some discounts, coverages, payment plans, and features are not available inall states or in all GEICO companies.

But like the glaciersof Montana, theymay disappear one day.I was soaking in<strong>Austin</strong>’s legendaryBarton Springs Poolrecently thinking aboutthe other cool (literallyand figuratively) springfedpools in Texas.Scattered around thestate are thousands ofsprings percolatingfrom the ground. Texasoriginally had 281major springs; of those,63 have stopped flowingcompletely sinceGERALD E. MCLEODthe 1800s.In New Braunfels,Comal Springs is thelargest concentration of springs in both the state and the American Southwest. <strong>The</strong> 16 primaryoutlets in Landa Park feed the 2-mile-long Comal River, the shortest river in the U.S. This also isof one the best swimming holes in the country.At the upper end of the river near the headwaters, the cold-as-ice water runs through a series ofchannels. <strong>The</strong> spring-fed pool actually contains three pools in one, with areas designated for kidsand serious swimmers. In 1956, the springs dried up completely, something that hasn’t happenedagain since.San Pedro Springs pool in San Antonio’s San Pedro Park was once entirely spring-fed. Severaldroughts and overpumping of the aquifer depleted the springs in all but very wet years. <strong>The</strong> naturalspring water in the pool has been replaced by city water. <strong>The</strong> first pool replaced a small lake in1922 and was rebuilt in 2000.<strong>The</strong> land occupied by the park was set aside for public use in 1729 by the King of Spain. It isthe second oldest park in the U.S. behind Boston Common. <strong>The</strong> mission that became known asthe Alamo was originally near the springs before it was moved to its present location.<strong>The</strong> mineral waters of Hancock Springs pool in Lampasas have attracted tourists since it wasconstructed 100 years ago this July. <strong>The</strong> slightly sulphur-scented water is said to have curativeproperties. This may be the oldest continuously operating spring-fed pool in the state.My favorite of all the spring-fed pools in Texas is San Solomon Springs pool in Balmorhea StatePark just north of Fort Davis. <strong>The</strong> 1.75-acre, V-shaped, spring-fed pool is so clear that scuba diverspractice there. <strong>The</strong> water is a refreshing 72 degrees and pours out at 22 million gallons per day.<strong>The</strong> pool was completed in 1941 by the Civilian Conservation Corps.<strong>The</strong> best way to visit the pool is by booking a room at the San Solomon Courts in the park. <strong>The</strong>motel-style cabins are currently being rebuilt, but many of the historic stucco and red-tile-roofrooms are still available for rent. <strong>The</strong> park also offers camping and RV hookups.1,043rd in a series.

Free.soccer watchBY NICK BARBAROIt’s been a glorious Women’s World Cup thusfar, and I’ll be shocked if the quality of play dropsany in Sunday’s final between the United Statesand Japan, though it may be hard to match thedrama of the last few games. Unless you’ve beenhiding under a rock, you’ve seen or heard theU.S. story: Abby Wambach’s stunning headerSunday to tie Brazil in the 122nd minute – extratime of overtime, the latest goal ever scored inany World Cup – after the U.S. had been awoman down for almost an hour. Outspoken divagoalkeeper Hope Solo got her close-up as well,saving two penalty kicks: one cruelly called backfor a phantom infraction and one that wound upwinning the game in the PK shoot-out. This stuffcould not be scripted.Wambach got the game-winner late in Wednesday’ssemifinal as well, on a similarly powerfulheader, and the Americans eased past France,3-1. But that final score was certainly flattering fora game France dominated for long stretches, asthe U.S. struggled to put two passes together.Japan, on the other hand, has been a revelation,completely frustrating the favored host Germansfor 120 minutes in the quarterfinal. <strong>The</strong>ir shortpassing,ball-control game will run the U.S. midfieldragged; the U.S. claims to be the fittest teamin the tournament, and they’ll need every bit ofthat Sunday to get any sort of ball possession.Can they do that and press their speed and sizeadvantage in attack? Will the U.S. defenders avoidgiving up free kicks around the goal area forJapanese sharpshooter Aya Miyama? Is Japanreally “the Barcelona of women’s fútbol”?

artslistingsSee him sitting there, this artistic directorof Hyde Park <strong>The</strong>atre, this relentlessproducer of plays, this perennial mouthpieceof monologues. See him sitting there, grayagainst the gray. His shirt is white with verticalgray stripes, camouflaging him into thesubtle shades dripping on the background;his jeans are faded to a sort of gray; and hisonce-black hair – because Webster’s beendoing this sort of thing, and doing it exceedinglywell, for almost three decades – is alsostreaked with shoulder-length gray.What’s colorful, always, is what the man’sgot to say, and this time it’s in the voice ofan Irish thug who’s the terrorizing musclefor a small-time crime boss over there in thedark, pub-filled heart of the Emerald Isle.(Conor McPherson wrote this hourlong piece,the same award-winning McPherson who providedthe words for Webster’s previous soloshow, St. Nicholas. Because the Port Arthuractor has this, well, this thing, it seems, forwriters who are Irish or Canadian. To be afan of Webster is to be a member of theMc-Mac Club.)But so this thug. He gets himself into asituation, see, where a fellow he was supposedto merely threaten winds up shot andkilled. And now the thug’s got to kidnap theman’s widow and kid.

And did we mentionthat the thug’s former girlfriend broke hisheart months ago by ditching him to shackup with that very boss? <strong>The</strong> thug mentionsit. Oh, he mentions it a lot. It’s one of severalthings eating at his rough heart from theinside out.I’m not going to get into my own wholething here about how Webster and HPT byextension occupy a unique and necessaryniche in the local theatre scene, about howthey’re this solid island of otherness in achoppy sea made of groundbreaking originalstage works, slick and polished Broadwaystylehits, and crappy community theatre.I’ll just say that I’ve come to expect certainqualities from the man and what he choosesto do, either solo or with his protean stableof actors. And <strong>The</strong> Good Thief delivers thatjust as well – oh, flawlessly, I’d reckon – asWebster delivers this unsettling and strangelypoignant monologue.You like those crime movies from acrossthe pond, friend?

C ALEND AR ( COMMUNITY SPORTS ARTS FILM MUSIC) L I STI N G S‘Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow’Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center,600 River, 974-3772www.maccaustin.orgThrough Aug. 27You’d think it would be a bit more of a problem for the visual-artsgallery at the Mexican American Cultural Center to arrange exhibitionsthat won’t be overshadowed by the gorgeous architecture ofthe building itself. Because, look at that edificeof culture with its enormous white verticalsand diagonals, the vistas and alcovesand elegant details: What could match sucha building? But the various times we’vestopped in over the years, the gallery’s offeringshave been the equals of such majesty,and this latest show – “Heir Today, GoneTomorrow,” a multi-artist exploration of thecomplexities of inheritance, legacy, andhuman interaction – is no exception.Salvador Castillo, Michael AnthonyGarcía, and Hector Hernandez make up the<strong>Austin</strong>-based collective called Los Outsidersthat curated this exhibition. <strong>The</strong>y’ve broughtthe works of 14 artists, including Garcíaand Hernandez, into the gallery’s soaringspace, and that space is much improved bytheir presence.Just a few highlights: Gabriel Dawe’s PlexusNo. 7 is a floor-to-ceiling stretch of threadsforming an ethereal, filamented rainbow, aneye-drawing shimmer of color at the far endof the vast room; but even its polychromeglory can’t overwhelm the more sedate SelfPortrait and Selective Memory No. 3 thatDawe has created from thread and fabric.56 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mCarlos Rosales-Silva goes all textual andgraphic-design nefarious on an immensescale with his latex mural called Tru Storythat name-checks Michael Jackson from, asit were, two different directions.Sergio Garcia’s It’s Not Always Easy To TellWhat’s Real and What’s Fabricated (picturedabove) presents a child’s red tricycle warpedinto a sort of vehicular Ouroboros, the sortof piece you could unpack volumes of meaningfrom once your eyes are through beingamazed at the high weirdness and craftsmanshipof it.And there are large photographs bySantiago Forero; sculptures by the more usuallyphotographing William Hundley; unsettling,anatomically enhanced video and audioinstallations by Eduardo Xavier García; aceiling-abutting video display by Amelia Winger-Bearskin; and more. And all of it adds up tothat feeling, amplified by the cathedralinevenue itself, of “I’m walking around an exhibitionof world-class art like I’d see in somefancy magazine, except this stuff isn’t boringlike some of the things in those fancy magazines,and it’s right here in town.” Well, yes, itis: lucky, lucky us. – Wayne Alan Brennervisual artsEVENTSJUNKYARD CASSEROLE “<strong>Austin</strong>’s very own artshow/yard-salehybrid.” From those Palfloat people.Sat., July 16, noon-12mid., 2608 Rogers. www.palfloat.com.HERMAN MILLER: THE PURPOSE OF DESIGN JohnBerry draws upon his 16 years of experience workingclosely with designers at Herman Miller Inc. for thisslide lecture.

<strong>The</strong>TripNot reviewed at press time. Disneyreturns to Hundred Acre Wood with thisanimated effort. Releasing the film againstthe new Potter pic seems like a counterfilmlistingsD: Michael Winterbottom; with Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Claire Keelan, Margo Stilley. (NR, 111 min.)<strong>The</strong> Trip, a movie about two comedians who go on a foodietour through northern England, was first broadcast in the UK asa six-part miniseries and then shaved down and shaped into afeature-length picture. <strong>The</strong> end result issomething that is not quite this and notentirely that: a colicky, melancholy comedythat is all shadings and little arc. It’s terrific.Dipping back into the meta-shenanigansof his tremendously ambitious 2005 filmTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story,Michael Winterbottom reunites that film’s starand co-star, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.Here, once again, they play fictionalized versionsof themselves, although it’s hard toparse what is verifiable fact, what is narrativefancy, and whether the distinctionbetween the two matters at all. <strong>The</strong>trip in question is orchestrated byacPICK58 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mthe London newspaper <strong>The</strong> Observer,which commissions Manchesternative Coogan to review some ofthe north’s finest restaurants. WhenCoogan’s girlfriend abruptly bailsout on the trip, Coogan, seething from thebreakup and his stalled career, asks Brydonto come along for the weeklong trip. At firstit’s hard to figure why: <strong>The</strong> dyspeptic Coogan– arguably the bigger name, and certainlythe better-known actor in America – skirtsbetween being weary of his companion toopenly contemptuous. Brydon, a sitcom andradio star in the UK, has a dopey, open quality,and he seems, as portrayed in the film,rather blissfully uncomplicated, taking palpablepleasure in the landscape, the food, hiswife and newborn back at home, and his owngiggling armory of celebrity impressions. He’sthe yin to Coogan’s prune-faced yang; aftercomparing backaches and receding gumlines,Coogan’s capper – that “everything’s exhaustingat this age” – isn’t a punchline, it’s acri de coeur keyed to a wistful piano score(cobbled together from earlier works by composerMichael Nyman). But these characterizationsaren’t established and then locked.Coogan has moments of such soulfulness,the jaw drops, while Brydon nearly breaks ina late scene that’s like some manic bender.<strong>The</strong> Trip doesn’t carry much in the way of plot– it has more, shall we say, topics of interestthan real conflicts – and it rather refreshinglyburies information that might have beenmolded into a more traditional narrative arc.One can imagine what a Hollywood scenaristwould have done with what plays almost asan afterthought here, that Coogan is mullinga job offer on American TV, whichwould necessitate a move awayfrom his two children. It weighs onhis mind, like a lot of things do,but he doesn’t give any speechesabout it, and he doesn’t giveany speeches that are pointedlynot about it. (Which puts me inmind of an article some robo-screenwritingservice recently sent me called “SubtextMade Easy.” Must we not work for anythinganymore?). So yes, the plot, as it were, is theperipatetic; the point, as far as I see it, is toburrow deeply into the way these two damaged,lightly deranged humans communicate.Winterbottom is keenly sensitive to how connectionsspark or sputter between them – inthe way Coogan warms most to Brydon inthe car, where they don’t have to make eyecontact, or how a flurry of micro-expressionsmay pass between them when a punctiliouswaiter references the “sack” of juice or coulisor some such a dish is nestled in. I shouldmention, also, when it’s not being desperatelysad about Our Ever Advancing Age and theInescapableness of Our Very Bad Habits, <strong>The</strong>Trip is also screamingly funny. Like I said, terrificstuff.★★★★ Violet Crown– Kimberley JoneswnewreviewsHARRY POTTER ANDTHE DEATHLYHALLOWS: PART 2 D: David Yates;with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, RalphFiennes, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Helena BonhamCarter, Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, Kelly Macdonald,Evanna Lynch, Maggie Smith. (PG-13, 131 min.)Much like his character, the sour, pinchfacedProfessor Snape, Alan Rickmanhas been playing the long game. Whenhe gets his first speech in this series’capper, Rickman deliciously draws outthe syllables, milking the moment for allit’s worth. And it’s worth a lot, as is theemotional investment of billions of fansworldwide in the boy wizard Harry Potterand the marvelous, sometimes macabreinventions of author J.K. Rowling, broughtto such vivid life onscreen by a smallarmy of professional dreamers. It’s theend of an era and a mighty violent end atthat. Last winter’s first installment, HarryPotter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,coursed over vast terrain and a long exilefor Harry (Radcliffe) and his best friendsRon (Grint) and Hermione (Watson), andthat film was tender with connection –between characters, as well as betweenthe audience and those well-loved characters.Part 2 is something else altogether.Such digital effects as the maraudinggiants that squash baby wizards likebugs or the inky terror that is the DeathEaters – acolytes to the mad, bad wizardVoldemort (Fiennes) – are magnificent andexperienced in one long, clutched breath.But what’s missing is what has been thechief pleasure of the series: the chemistrybetween its young leads. Without knowingit, we said goodbye to all that in Part 1.This is the Harry-and-Voldemort show now– the entire series has built to this epicconfrontation – and Radcliffe conveys thegallows feeling Harry takes to their finalbattle with grim beauty indeed. DirectorDavid Yates, who has helmed the last fourfilms, isn’t afraid to accommodate quiet –long stretches of the film play sans score(the better to hear the audience sniffle?)– but even in silence there’s no mistakingthe deafening boom of mayhem. <strong>The</strong>re’s abrief respite that takes place in somethinglike an afterlife (one vastly less infuriatingthan <strong>The</strong> Tree of Life’s, incidentally), inwhich a character urges that “words areour most inexhaustible source of magic.”It’s a moving but rather ironic sentiment,as it’s the only line of Steve Kloves’ dialoguethat sticks in the brain. <strong>The</strong> rest isso much running and jumping and hurlingof curses, this expertly choreographedSturm und Drang, that the emotional sendofffeels a little thin. Part 2 is never notgood, but that’s small comfort when anticipatinggreatness. – Kimberley Jones★★★★■Alamo Lake Creek, Alamo Lamar, AlamoVillage, Barton Creek Square, CM Cedar Park,Hill Country Galleria, CM Round Rock, SouthparkMeadows, Cinemark Stone Hill Town Center, FlixBrewhouse, Highland, Gateway, Gold Class, IMAX<strong>The</strong>atre, Lakeline, Metropolitan, TinseltownNorth, WestgateTHE LAST MOUNTAIN D: Bill Haney;narrated by William Sadler. (PG, 96 min.)<strong>The</strong> land, mountains, and timbers ofWest Virginia have been sacrificed over thedecades to America’s ever-increasing demandfor energy. Of this, there is no doubt. Puttingaside the past, Bill Haney’s documentarylooks at the current battle in that state’sCoal River Valley where Massey EnergyCompany engages in the debatable practiceof mountaintop coal removal. <strong>The</strong> practice isa recently adopted technique that was onlymade legal at the outset of the George W.Bush administration in a quid pro quo withthe mining industry, which had invested inordinatelyin his presidential campaign. <strong>The</strong>technique blasts off acres of mountain fromthe top downward to expose the coal layersthat can then be mined with heavy equipmentinstead sending miners underground. In thissense, mountaintop mining becomes a unionbustingtechnique as well as a health scourgeto the neighboring communities by releasingtoxic elements into the air and water supply.<strong>The</strong> blighted moonscapes left behind whenMassey is done with a mountain gives the lieto the company’s efforts toward reclamationwhile also causing flooding and other ecologicaldevastation in the area. All this is importantinformation, and Haney’s interviews withresidents are compellingly forthright regardingthe deleterious effects mountaintop mininghas wrought on their lives. <strong>The</strong>ir plainspokennesscontrasts with the professional advocacyof Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the WaterkeeperAlliance, whose dedication to this Appalachiancause returns him to the area time and againto headline rallies and speak with citizens.Although Kennedy’s contributions are, perhaps,overvalorized, that portrait pales incomparison to the way Don Blankenship, thechairman and CEO of Massey from 2000 to2010, is demonized. (You may rememberthe callousness of Blankenship from theApril 2010 explosion in Massey’s UpperBig Branch mine that killed 29 people.)Blankenship is an easy villain to target, butthe film never really takes on the miscreantsthat are harder to nail. Those miscreantswould be us and our profligate use ofenergy and inability to dedicate concertednational efforts toward developing workablealternative fuels. <strong>The</strong> film digresses someas it visits wind farms, which is part of theproblem with its narrative. Many facets of theproblem in the Coal River Valley are touchedupon, but none are fully developed. Bite-sizefacts about mountaintop mining are splashedon the screen, but no substantiating sourcesare for the information are credited. I don’tso much disagree with the statements asdoubt whether this piece of advocacy journalismhas the goods to sway any doubters.Nevertheless, <strong>The</strong> Last Mountain provideslots of good information for newcomers tothe cause.– Marjorie Baumgarten★★★■ArborWINNIE THE POOH D: Stephen J.Anderson, Don Hall; with the voices of John Cleese, JimCummings, Craig Ferguson, Jack Boulter, Travis Oates,Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Wyatt Dean Hall, Tom Kenny, HuellHowser.

(R, 89 min.)Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz), a bitchy stoner and supposededucator, shouldn’t sell herself short: “Badteacher” barely scratches the surface. She’s a badfiancée, rightly dumped in the film’s opening minutesfor being a gold digger. She’s a bad feminist;post-breakup, her plan B is to raise enough cashto buy bigger tits – the better to snare “a man whowill take care of me,” she figures. Broadly speaking,she’s just a bad person – a liar, an embezzler,a master manipulator. Diaz wisely sidesteps hergood-times-gal public persona to kickily embody ahuman-sized callus that’s impervious to emotion,a cancer who lays waste to everything that gets inher way. <strong>The</strong> bulk of Bad Teacher isn’t so subversive– Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg’s scriptis basically Bad Santa’s public-school analog – butit is consistently funny. Its trash-can humor is tasteless,no doubt, but that doesn’t make it unpalatable.(07/01/2011)– Kimberley Jones★★★■Alamo Ritz, Alamo Village, Barton CreekSquare, CM Cedar Park, Hill Country Galleria, CMRound Rock, Southpark Meadows, Flix Brewhouse,Highland, Gateway, Gold Class, Metropolitan,Tinseltown North, WestgatewBEGINNERS D: Mike Mills; with EwanMcGregor, Christopher Plummer, Mélanie Laurent, GoranVisnjic, Kai Lennox, Mary Page Keller, Keegan Boos. (R, 105 min.)“You think you’re you,” a man tells a dog namedArthur – whom he inherited from his dead father –before breaking it to Arthur that his personality haseverything to do with being bred that way. When wefirst meet 38-year-old Oliver (McGregor), his patternsof speech, his quirks, his method of pitching woo to astunning French actress named Anna (Laurent) seemwholly his own. It’s only when writer/director MikeMills scats to five years prior – when his newly widowedfather, Hal (Plummer), comes out of the closet– that we can pinpoint the source of those definingquirks. When Oliver meets Anna, it’s their mutualwoundedness that brings them together. Grief doesn’tsound like a promising starting point for a love story,but, really, what a bounty of beauty, buoyancy, andpossibility Mills presents to us. Beginners, quite dazzlingly,makes one sincerely believe in the possibilityof rebirth. (06/24/2011) – Kimberley Jones★★★★ Alamo Lamar, Arbor, Tinseltown SouthA BETTER LIFE D: Chris Weitz; with Demián Bichir,José Julián, Delores Heredia, Chelsea Rendon. (PG-13, 98 min.)Director Chris Weitz’s eclecticism gets anotherworkout with his new film, A Better Life, the story ofan undocumented Mexican worker in Los Angelesand his struggle to earn a living and win the respectof his rebellious teenage son. Although its immigrant,working-class milieu is drenched in realismand heartache, A Better Life rarely transcends itspredictable, programmatic structure. A single father,Carlos Galindo (Bichir) ekes out a living gardeningand sleeps on the couch of the run-down apartmenthe shares with his son Luis (Julián), who issteadily drifting toward gang life. When Carlos buyshis friend’s truck, a cruel twist of fate befalls him:<strong>The</strong> truck is stolen, and father and son set out tofind the thief. A Better Life is, indeed, a heart-tuggerabout the countless undocumented workers whoare rarely depicted as the subjects of their ownstories, but the film never stretches its boundaries.(07/08/2011) – Marjorie Baumgarten★★■Metropolitan, Tinseltown NorthwBRIDESMAIDS D: Paul Feig; with KristenWiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Chris O’Dowd, MelissaMcCarthy, Ellie Kemper, Wendi McLendon-Covey. (R, 125 min.)Bridesmaids is a delicious confection that artfullyswirls vulgarity with sincerity. Comic actressKristen Wiig’s hapless heroine Annie, mired indebt after losing the cake shop she owned with aboyfriend who subsequently abandoned her, seesher circumstances grow even bleaker when herchildhood best friend, Lillian (Rudolph), announcesher engagement. She names Annie her maid ofhonor, but there’s competition for the crown in theform of Lillian’s new friend, Helen (Byrne). Thisrelentlessly funny film mines material from theludicrousness of the “wedding industrial complex,”but it doesn’t restrict its scope to matrimonial yuks,smartly placing the other bridesmaids (Kemper,McLendon-Covey, and McCarthy) as counterpointson the continuum of a woman’s life, from newlywedto sex-starved mom. In an age of doggedly unambitiouscomedy, one marvels at the finesse first-timescreenwriters Wiig and Annie Mumolo and directorFeig (Freaks and Geeks) bring to marrying raunch,romantic comedy, and the tested but ever-true bondbetween women. (05/13/2011) – Kimberley Jones★★★★ Barton Creek Square, Hill Country Galleria,CM Round Rock, Southpark Meadows, Gateway, GoldClass, Tinseltown NorthBUCK D: Cindy Meehl. (PG, 88 min.)To hear his fans and clients tell it, the naturalhorseman Dan “Buck” Brannaman has what appearsto be an almost mystical connection to the equinemind. He’s less a horse whisperer, as popularized inNicholas Evans’ book or Robert Redford’s film, thana calm, cool cowboy who just gets horses more thanmost riders and ropers. Brannaman, who spent hischildhood as part of a sibling trick-roping act, lived interror of his alcoholic father, Ace. Now lanky, laconic,and in his 50s, Brannaman shares his expertiseat some 40 clinics a year, teaching people how tohandle their four-legged charges with firm but gentlerespect. Meehl’s documentary features plenty ofinterviews with cowboys and ranch hands, but itlacks the literary or cinematic magic of either versionof <strong>The</strong> Horse Whisperer. That said, it’s a remarkableportrait of a survivor helping others to survive ontheir own terms. (06/24/2011) – Marc Savlov★★★■Arbor, Violet CrownCARS 2 D: John Lasseter, Brad Lewis; with the voices ofLarry the Cable Guy, Owen Wilson, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer,Eddie Izzard, John Turturro. (G, 107 min.)Pixar’s new animated feature, Cars 2, vroomsonto the screen with turbocharged energy. <strong>The</strong> film,which posits a world where automobiles are theonly sentient life-forms, starts confusingly as newcharacters Finn McMissile (McCaine), a debonairspy in the mold of James Bond, and Holley Shiftwell(Mortimer) engage in some sort of espionage. <strong>The</strong>action then shifts its focus to our pals from the originalfilm – hick tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy)and handsome race car Lightning McQueen (Wilson).Mater, who takes over the lead in this sequel, andLightning are soon off to compete in the World GrandPrix race, an international event sponsored by theSUV Sir Miles Axlerod (Izzard). Sir Axlerod has morenefarious motives, but the film’s cloak-and-daggeraspects always take a backseat to the roar of therace cars. <strong>The</strong> film’s frenetic pace will keep the kidsentertained, but overall Cars 2 is not an especiallygood movie.

CALENDA R ( COMMUNITY SPORTS ARTS F ILM MUSIC) LIST I NGSCAVE OF FORGOTTENw DREAMS D: Werner Herzog. (NR, 90 min.)Lions and bison and bears! Oh my! Such imagesjoin other remnants of prehistoric life that weredrawn on the walls of the Cave of Chauvet-Pontd’Arcin southern France, probably some 30,000years ago. Generally believed to be the oldestexamples of human artwork yet discovered, theimages convey a powerful sense of mystery andawe. Because of the harmful effects of exposureto the 21st century, access to the Chauvet Caveis permitted only to a very select sample of geologists,art historians, anthropologists – and WernerHerzog. What this audacious filmmaker emergeswith is an amazing investigation into what makeshuman beings tick, no matter the millennium. To alarge extent, Cave of Forgotten Dreams is can’t-missmaterial, especially in its 3-D iteration. Herzog usesthe images to explore ideas about the beginningsof art, and the outline of a human hand leads to aninevitable question about the work of the auteur.(05/20/2011) – Marjorie Baumgarten★★★★■Violet CrownDELHI BELLY D: Abhinay Deo; with Imran Khan,Kunaal Roy Kapur, Vir Das.

(07/01/2011)– Marjorie BaumgartenTinseltown SouthGREEN LANTERN D: Martin Campbell; withRyan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard. (PG-13, 114 min.)Eye candy of the most vibrant sort, this big-screenadaptation of the cult DC comic is, not all thatsurprisingly, a muddled mess of a superhero film burdenedby a seriocomic turn by lead Ryan Reynolds.As the hotshot, jerkwad test pilot Hal Jordan,Reynolds rocks the cheekbones, sass, and frat-boypanache to the end of the universe and back. Whena dying purple alien bequeaths the titular torch andring containing the “emerald energy of willpower” toa perplexed/bemused/irritating Hal, he is spirited offto Oa, home planet of the eons-old Green LanternCorps, where he trains for his new gig as a galacticdo-gooder. Before long, he is back on Earth, wheretrouble and Hal’s redemption ensue. Director MartinCampbell has a way with action set-pieces, but it’snot enough to make Green Lantern anything morethan a second-tier, superhero also-ran. It’s a helluvacomic book, but it’s a godawful mess of a movie.(06/24/2011) – Marc Savlov★ CM Cedar Park, Southpark Meadows, TinseltownNorth, Tinseltown South<strong>The</strong> Adventures ofBuckaroo BanzaiAcross the 8thDimension<strong>The</strong> Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Acrossthe 8th Dimension (1983) D: W.D.

Wonderfullyfun, albeit markedly chaotic and incoherent, BuckarooBanzai is one of those movies that has earned astrong cult reputation on the basis of its mile-a-minutecross-cultural references and pseudoscientific mumbojumbo.

(PG, 91 min.)We’re glad Judy Moody’s summer turned out notto be a bummer and wish the same could be saidfor those who have to sit through her movie. <strong>The</strong>film is based on the Judy Moody book series, with ascreenplay penned by the author, Megan McDonald.Near-tween Judy (Beatty) is bummed out becauseher best friends are leaving town for the summerand she’s stuck at home with her little brother Stink(Mosteller). <strong>The</strong>n Judy’s parents suddenly have togo out of town and leave their children under thesupervision of their Aunt Opal (Graham), who turnsout to be an artist who has just returned from Bali.I’m generally a fan of movies that star girls, but JudyMoody strikes the same whiny chord over and over.When Jaleel White (aka Urkel from Family Matters) isa movie’s most sedate character, you’re in for a noisyride. (06/17/2011) – Marjorie Baumgarten★★■Movies 8JUMPING THE BROOM D: Salim Akil; withPaula Patton, Angela Bassett, Laz Alonso, Loretta Devine, MeaganGood, Tasha Smith, Julie Bowen, DeRay Davis, Brian Stokes Mitchell.(PG-13, 113 min.)An urban family rom-com that actually has somethinginteresting to say about race and romance,Jumping the Broom makes Tyler Perry’s Madeafranchise resemble Eddie Murphy’s Klump familyby comparison. Bassett and Devine are the duelingmatriarchs brought together on the eve of theirrespective offspring’s nuptials. Sabrina Watson(Patton) and Jason Taylor (Alonso) seem to form amatch made in heaven but for their polar-oppositebackgrounds. Sabrina’s family lives on Martha’sVineyard and are cultured, multilingual, and a perfectportrait of African-American gentry. Jason’s backstoryis that of a gussied-up homeboy. Mrs. Taylor workslong hours as a clerk for the Postal Service, she’swidowed, and her pies are to die for. <strong>The</strong> collision ofassumed propriety is at the heart of the story, butwriters Elizabeth Hunter and Arlene Gibbs ladle onmore than enough unnecessary subplots and familyskeletons to make Jumping the Broom feel downrightoverstuffed. (05/06/2011)– Marc Savlov★★★■Movies 8LARRY CROWNE D: Tom Hanks; with Tom Hanks,Julia Roberts, Cedric the Entertainer, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, BryanCranston, Taraji P. Henson, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier, RitaWilson, George Takei. (PG-13, 98 min.)Co-written by Tom Hanks and My Big Fat GreekWedding’s Nia Vardalos, Larry Crowne is a slight,facile, and ultimately yawnworthy romantic comedy.As the titular character, Hanks plays up the farcicalelements of the story by mugging, wearing too muchmakeup, and ruminating on nothing at all. After beingfired from his Walmart-esque job, Larry hightails it tohis local community college, where he’s befriendedby a scooter gang led by the impossibly cute andchirpy Talia (Mbatha-Raw). His heart’s true calling,however, arrives in the form of his speech teacher,Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), a chilly, alcoholic womanmarried to a porn-surfing ex-prof turned lazy novelist(Cranston). From there on out, Larry Crowne isan exercise in terrible, pointless filmmaking. LarryCrowne may be the blandest, most white-breadrom-com in the history of the genre, instantly forgettableand more than a little embarrassing for its twosuperstar leads.

(R, 98 min.)Though it boasts a terrific cast, Horrible Bossesis unable to parlay its abundance of talent intoan abundance of comedy. Aniston plays a foulmoutheddentist who sexually harasses her assistantDale (Day). Spacey plays the lying, manipulativeboss of Nick (Bateman). Kurt (Sudeikis) ishappy at his job until his boss dies and leaves hiscoke-fueled jerk of a son (Farrell) to run the show.Oh, the problems well-employed white males face!Old friends Nick, Dale, and Kurt meet regularly in abar to commiserate about their troubles, which iswhere their half-baked idea of killing their bossesis hatched. <strong>The</strong>y are three nitwits, however, andtheir plot keeps coming undone by their own idiocy.Director Seth Gordon contributes little stylistically,and the film’s vulgar dialogue seems calculatedto find a new low for R-rated comedies.

(PG-13, 94 min.)Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris is, quite simply,charming. Gil (Wilson), a would-be novelist on vacationwith his no-nonsense fiancée, Inez (McAdams),has a very specific fantasy in mind: Paris in theTwenties in the rain. During the day, Gil and Inez putteraround like regular tourists, checking out this andthat – but it’s the nighttime where Midnight in Parisreally hits its stride. As the clock strikes midnight, Gildiscovers a portal of sorts into the 1920s. <strong>The</strong>re, heboozes it up with Ernest Hemingway (Stoll, killing it),shares his manuscript with Gertrude Stein (Bates),and pitches future filmmaker Luis Buñuel the plot ofthe eternally baffling <strong>The</strong> Exterminating Angel. Thisstretch of the film is a riot and feels like deeply personalfilmmaking for Allen. While it’s not all strictlyla vie en rose, it’s easy to shrug off the occasionalfumble when weighed against so much clevernessand canniness and, bien sûr, irresistible charm.(06/10/2011) – Kimberley Jones★★★★■Arbor, Barton Creek Square, Hill CountryGalleria, Tinseltown South, Violet CrownMONTE CARLO D: Tom Bezucha; with Selena Gomez,Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy, Cory Monteith, Andie MacDowell.(PG, 109 min.)Disney Channel star Selena Gomez has latelybeen shifting her attention away from the tweenersitcom Wizards of Waverly Place, and toward the bigscreen. This teen-targeted European vacation piffleisn’t a step forward or back – more like a slow jogin place. <strong>The</strong> premise – a high school loner namedGrace (Gomez) longs to see Paris, but when shearrives, the dream is deflated – is simple enough.However, Grace, it turns out, is a dead ringer fora spoiled British heiress named Cordelia. WhenCordelia goes off the map, Grace steps into her coutureshoes and jet-setting itinerary. Once in MonteCarlo, Grace and her companions, best friend Emma(Cassidy) and stepsister Meg (Meester), part waysand are each romanced by an international lover.But the last act, in which all parties descend on thesame Monte Carlo hotel, requires better comic timing;what’s meant to be madcap plays as somethingfar pokier.

POPPER’S PENGUINS D: Mark Waters;with Jim Carrey, Carla Gugin, Angela Lansbury, Ophelia Lovibond,Maxwell Perry Cotton, Madeline Carroll, Clark Gregg. (PG, 95 min.)Based on a 1938 Newberry Award-winning children’sbook, Mr. Popper’s Penguins is a story abouta divorced father who cohabits with penguins. JimCarrey, finding a happy medium between the manicand mawkish, plays a New York City wheeler-dealerwho lives in a grand apartment, separated from hiswife (Gugino) and two children (Carroll and Cotton).When he is sent a half-dozen penguins by his longabsentfather, his apartment suddenly seems to hischildren an exciting place to hang out rather than anobligatory weekend domicile. Mr. Popper’s Penguinsuses a mix of live animals and CGI, but the penguinsgenerally behave like the animals they were born tobe. Of course, all family issues are happily resolvedin the end – as is the penguins’ fate. In the sea ofmediocrity that passes for children’s films thesedays, Mr. Popper’s Penguins has enough originality(and silly physical comedy) to make it stand out.(06/24/2011) – Marjorie Baumgarten★★★■Hill Country Galleria, CM Round Rock, SouthparkMeadows, Tinseltown North, Tinseltown SouthPAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEWw YORK TIMES D: Andrew Rossi.

Honestly? I wish I could farmit out, too, because the concerns addressed in PageOne – among them the slow death of print media andthe shambling efforts of newspapers to reinvent themselvesin this new media era – are the same concernsconfounding the paper you’re currently holding.

As time passes and her skill grows, the gameconsumes her and becomes an overriding passion.That’s about it as far as the plot goes. Although directorBottaro sometimes overdoes the story’s metaphoricaltouches, Queen To Play competes on a very high levelas a story of an inner journey that’s not simply blackand-white.(07/08/2011) – Marjorie Baumgarten★★★ Violet CrownSUPER 8 D: J.J. Abrams; with Joel Courtney, Kyle Chandler,Noah Emmerich, Elle Fanning, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee,Gabriel Basso, Zach Mills. (PG-13, 112 min.)Set in 1979, writer/director J.J. Abrams’ newmonster movie throwback, Super 8, follows a groupof late-tweeners/early teenagers who are spendingtheir summer vacation shooting a zombie movie (onSuper 8 stock). Newcomer Joel Courtney is perfectas Joe Lamb, who has recently lost his mother andgets his first kiss from Alice Dainard (Fanning) as heapplies her zombie makeup. While filming one nightat an abandoned railroad track, the kids witness aspectacular crash, which triggers the beginning of theirtown’s destruction by the train’s mysterious cargo.Joe’s father, Jackson Lamb (Chandler), the town’sdeputy sheriff, is stymied in his efforts to solve thestrange occurrences and sudden disappearances ofvarious townspeople. Of course, the disaster also hasa way of reuniting families, although Abrams’ resolutionsseem pat and hollow. Ultimately, it’s the periodand character details that provide the grist for Super8’s winning formula, rather than its emotional arc andmonster jolts.

(PG-13, 113 min.)This is the long-awaited cinematic adaptation ofMarvel Comics’ popular take on Norse mythology andthe eponymous God of Thunder. Following a bloodycontretemps involving the dread Frost Giants, thearrogant, pouty Thor (Hemsworth, perfectly cast) isstripped of his all-powerful war hammer, Mjølnir, andcast out of Asgard by his father, King Odin (Hopkins).Wormholing his way to Earth, Thor encounters scientistJane Foster (Portman) and friends, who wonder,rightly: Who is this muscle-bound mook with delusionsof demi-godhood? Thor moves at a breathlesspace, taking zero time for anything resembling theendearingly nuanced romance between, oh, I dunno,Spider-Man and Mary Jane. It’s a spectacle, all right,and spectacular at times: Hemsworth nails Thor’sroyal insouciance and even injects a fair amount ofhumor into what could have been a dour downer ofa deity. All told, though, Thor suffers from too muchbackstory and too many subplots and character introductions.(05/06/2011)– Marc Savlov★★★■Movies 8, Tinseltown SouthTRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THEMOON D: Michael Bay; with Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Tyrese Gibson, PatrickDempsey, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Kevin Dunn; withthe voices of Hugo Weaving, Leonard Nimoy. (PG-13, 154 min.)Director Michael Bay isn’t known for his subtlety,and Transformers: Dark of the Moon has about asmuch of it as a phased-plasma rifle to the back ofthe head. But, surprise, it’s freaking epic and massivefun. Low expectations have rarely paid off sowell as with this lumbering behemoth of a popcorn,sci-fi actioner. Picking up where its predecessor leftoff, Dark of the Moon returns to a world where thepeace- and freedom-loving Autobots are scouringthe globe for their archnemeses, the Decepticons.Caught in the middle as ever is Sam Witwicky(LaBeouf), who is also contending with girlfriendrelatedissues and an insane new boss (Malkovich).Add to this the fact that the Apollo 11 mission wasnot what it seemed, a cameo by Buzz Aldrin (!), andLeonard Nimoy voicing the top-dog Autobot SentinelPrime, and you end up with a ridiculously fun 154minutes of utterly unhinged, completely over-the-toprobotic mayhem.

(PG-13, 138 min.)Terrence Malick’s hotly awaited movie, <strong>The</strong> Tree ofLife, bursts with unbridled ambition and vision. <strong>The</strong>filmmaker is trying to capture a sense of the entiretyof human existence, which has roots grounded inthe earth, branches that reach ever skyward, and acircumference that expands with each passing generation.After opening with a cacophony of whisperedprayers swirling through the universe, <strong>The</strong> Tree of Lifesettles into its evocative middle section, which offersglimpses of the O’Brien family in 1950s Waco, Texas.Pitt and Chastain play the parents of three boys, theeldest of whom, Jack (McCracken as a child, Penn asan adult), is the story’s central figure. He is constantlytorn by the contradictory pulls of the “way of nature,”represented by the father, and the “way of grace,” therealm of the mother. While it doesn’t always reach theheights for which it aims, <strong>The</strong> Tree of Life soars boldlyand fearlessly.

(PG-13, 106 min.)Tyler Perry is back with another movie featuringMadea – his self-essayed, no-nonsense matriarchin drag – following his bid for respectability with lastyear’s literary adaptation For Colored Girls and hisensemble piece Why Did I Get Married Too?. Really,there is little to recommend about Perry’s Madeafilms, which are brokers of racial and sexual stereotypes,other than their appeal to a certain segmentof black women who are underserved by the currentfilm market. Big Happy Family’s primary plotline isabout Madea’s niece Shirley (Devine) needing to tellher grown children about her terminal cancer. Madea’sfamily is a fractious bunch, but the mouthy matriarcheventually lays down the law for each one of them.Deathbed scenes and colonoscopy humor, Bible quotations,and Maury Povich “Who Is the Real Baby Daddy”episodes all cohabit with equal relevance in the worldof Tyler Perry.

Truth be told, X-Men:First Class feels less like a movie and more like aseries of preambles. It never quite catches a rhythmbut glides by on the strength of its personalities. It’sall vastly superior to Brett Ratner’s X-Men: <strong>The</strong> LastStand, of course. But new blood and swinging Sixtiesmilieu aside, X-Men: First Class never finds a freshway to sell the same old plot points – humans fearfulof mutants, the idea of forced identification, a madgenius recruiting an army – and we’re pretty definitivelyin broken-record country.

musicRECOMMENDED EVENTS FOR JULY 15 TO JULY 21EDITED BY AUDRA SCHROEDERMexicans With GunsA passing glance at Mexicans With Guns behindthe steel wheels – luchador mask, suit, and tie –gives the illusion of trickery or jest, but the beatsthat San Antonio-based ErnestGonzales plucks from deep insidehis cerebral cortex negate any jokehere. At the Pachanga Latino MusicFestival in May, his DJ missivessparked both gawking and dancing,his dark musical undercurrent primingthe tent gathering.All such facets are apparent onthis spring’s Ceremony, his firstfull-length, which parallels innovativedrum ’n’ bass with traditionalMexican folk music. Guest drop-insfrom Freddie Gibbs, Chico Mann,and Helado Negro offer furtherexcursions into hip-hop and Latinospirituality. Gonzales is the guide,and Ceremony is a journey.“While working on the album, I gotreally into a Mexican shaman namedMaría Sabina,” he explains. “All thatI was taking in started seeping intomy sound, changing the early dancemusic I made into something thatin-storesFriday: Die Hart IV, Trailer Space, 7pmSaturday: Church Shoes, the Wolf,Cartwright, Trailer Space, 7pmThursday: Sallie Ford & the SoundOutside, Waterloo Records, 5pm;Mammox, Transmography, Greg Ginn& the Royal We, Trailer Space, 7pmBeauty Bar, Thursday 21sounded darker and mysterious. Youhit it right on the head about thealbum being a full experience frombeginning to end. That’s really what Iwas hoping for by putting the tracksin that order. I wanted the openingtrack to set the mood, followed bysome attack, a break from that with‘Me Gusto,’ then the closing trackhopefully bringing everyone back.”<strong>The</strong> video for “Dame Lo” has thesame arc – it looks like an outtakefrom a Robert Rodriguez film, yetfits the Day of the Dead barrio gritof the song so well. Stand it sideby side with Machete.“A lot of people [have said that].I think we all felt like we createdsomething special. I’ve seen peopleshow up to shows with faces paintedbecause of the video. I’ve heardpeople singing along, and at showspeople get excited when that songdrops.” – Audra Schroeder66 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E JULY 15, 2011 a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o mlistingsMONARCHSCD RELEASESwan Dive, Saturday 16<strong>The</strong> disarmingly soulful voice ofCeleste Griffin puts Monarchs onthe local music map. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Austin</strong>-via-Alabama chanteuse is out front tocelebrate the band’s first full-length,<strong>The</strong> Rise and Fall, produced by MikeMcCarthy (Spoon, Patty Griffin).

Where: you apt.You: Woman. Me: Man. #905335<strong>The</strong> Luv DocYes, but at least it’s a dry heat …. Welcome to <strong>Austin</strong>! Don’t gothinking the weather is going to be this pleasant for the rest of the summer.This mercifully low humidity can’t last forever. Normally in Julythe humidity in your car is enough to make you look like Alice Cooperapplied your mascara while tripping on peyote buttons. Ever get in yourcar, close the door, and have the rearview mirror fall off because the glueon the stem melted? Get ready. If you’re not an epileptic or prone tobouts of vertigo, you can have a friend try and hold it in place as youdrive, but in terms of driver safety, you might as well just have someoneattempt to burn a holein your retina with a laserpointer. Your best bet is tojust not worry about what’shappening behind you andfocus on the road ahead –Wammo vs. ForsythFri., July 15, 10:30pmwhich will probably resemble a Salvador Dalí painting because of theheat waves coming off the asphalt. Don’t trip; that’s the way Texaslooks in the summer. If you’re a big pot smoker, you may want to reinin your usage for the next three months. Heat is its own hallucinogenic.Plus, the only thing more disturbing than seeing the highway meltingin front of you is getting a wicked case of cotton mouth in mid-July.Hint: If flies land on your tongue and get stuck there, you’re either: A)completely baked, B) in the death throes of dehydration, or C) you’veactually turned into a frog. If you’re either A or C, you should writeyour dope dealer a nice thank you note. If, however, you look out yourwindshield and see Satan himself doing a reverse cowgirl on your hoodornament, you’re not hallucinating. He’s just here enjoying the weather.Think about it: If you had to spend eternity swimming in a lake of fire,you’d probably want to pop out and dry off occasionally yourself. Whatbetter place to do that than right here in River City? After all, we haveplenty of sunshine and warm breezes and, barring some act of God …like a hurricane, for instance … the forecast isn’t going to change untillate September at the earliest. Don’t let your hopes get crushed, but it isunlikely that God is going to get involved even if Satan is riding aroundsodomizing himself on your hood ornament. God doesn’t get into dickswingingmatches with the devil. Besides, how big of a beaker wouldyou need to do a reliable water displacement test on God’s cock? Is thescientific method even a valid way to quantify the divine? While most<strong>Austin</strong> musicians lack the confidence to tackle big, tough questions likethe preceding ones, former Asylum Street Spankers Wammo and GuyForsyth are certainly brave enough to try. Both are mightily prolific,talented, and worldly emissaries of the Keep-<strong>Austin</strong>-Weird aesthetic. Ifyou haven’t seen them perform together, this Friday at the ContinentalClub may be your last, best chance for a while. Wammo is headed off toPhiladelphia, and though he will surely be back to visit, it probably won’tbe for a while. <strong>The</strong> show is titled “Wammo vs. Forsyth” and featuressongs the two have written together as well as favorites from when theywere in the Spankers. <strong>The</strong>re probably won’t be a winner declared, unlessmaybe it’s the audience. You should make plans to be a part of it.GET ON THE LIST & GET THE LUV DOC ALL UPIN YOUR INBOX EVERY WEEKaustinchronicle.com /free!luvdoclistCREATE A PROFILE ANDBROWSE MORE ADS ONLINE!|BROWSE these ads and more online for FREE.

MYTHICAL BENEFITS OF HARDACCELERATION DEBUNKEDDear Tom and Ray:I am writing to you to settle a disagreement that mydad and mom had when I was a kid (in the 1970s) andmy wife and I have currently. Does an engine ever needto be floored (hard acceleration) to “blow out the carbon”?Was that merely an excuse for my dad to show offhis 1967 Hemi Dart at stoplights? Or was there actualbenefit from the hard acceleration once in a while? I usethat same excuse with my wife at stoplights (in a muchslower vehicle). Neither my mom nor my wife believes ithas any benefit, and they think it would be just fine forthe rpm to stay at or below 3,000 for the lifetime of theengine. What do you think?– DavidRAY: I think I’m going to ruin your day, David.Because I have to break the news to you that yourwife and mother are absolutely right.TOM: In the ’70s, cars had carburetors.Carburetors let gasoline slosh into the cylinders.And with all that excess gasoline, a buildup of carbonwas a much more common problem.RAY: <strong>The</strong>re was a school of thought that suggestedthat running the car at high speed would help cleanthe caked-on carbon off the valves and pistons.TOM: But by “running the car at high speed,”they meant taking it on the highway for a long, highspeeddrive – not stomping on the gas at a stoplightand leaving a lime-green AMC Pacer in the dust.RAY: <strong>The</strong>n there were some high-performancecars that had four-barrel carburetors. Two of thebarrels opened up for normal, moderate-speeddriving. And then, when you needed a lot of gas forhigh-speed driving or hard acceleration, the othertwo barrels opened up.TOM: And if you never stepped on the gas hardenough to open up the two high-speed barrels, theycould get gummed up and eventually fail to work.So that was another reason to “blow out” certainhigh-performance carbureted cars back in the day.RAY: But cars haven’t had carburetors since the1980s, David. <strong>The</strong>y all have fuel injection now,which meters the gasoline so precisely that carbonbuildup on the pistons almost never is a problem.So neither of those old justifications for stompingon the gas holds water today.TOM: Your wife and mother are correct. A moderncar can spend its entire life never exceeding3,000 rpm and be completely happy and fulfilled– mechanically, spiritually, and emotionally.RAY: In fact, stomping on the gas and makingjackrabbit starts is terrible for the car. It shortensthe car’s life because of all the stress it puts on thedrive-train components.TOM: So it’s time to catch up with the times,David. You’re in for a little humiliation when youhave to apologize to the women in your life. Butdon’t worry – you’ll look good wearing those pantsup around your chest ... mumbling “yes, dear.”* * *Stop the madness!

FREE WILL ASTROLOGYby Rob Brezsny for July 15-21CANCER (June 21-July 22): <strong>The</strong> great-grandson of a slave, Cancerian Thurgood Marshall(1908-1993) was America’s first African-American Supreme Court justice. According to Thurgood,a play about his life that appeared on HBO, his unruly behavior as a school kid played a role inlaunching him toward his vocation. As punishment for his bad behavior, his teacher exiled him to astorage room where he was instructed to study the U.S. Constitution – a document he would laterbe called on to interpret during his service on the high court. I foresee a version of this scenarioplaying out in your immediate future, Cancerian. Mischief could lead to opportunity. Blessingsmight evolve out of shenanigans. Bending the rules may bring rewards.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you mind if I call you “<strong>The</strong> Original Liontamer”? I know it sounds a bitextravagant, maybe even pretentious, but it really fits you right now. More than any other sign of thezodiac, you have the power to control the wild, ferocious forces of the unconscious. You’re the fluidflowmaster in charge of making the beastly energy behave itself; you’re the crafty coordinator ofthe splashy, flashy kundalini; you’re the dazzling wizard of the dizzy whirling whooshes. Here’s a tipto help you soothe the savage rhythms with maximum aplomb: Mix a dash of harmonious trickerywith your charismatic bravado.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have maybe 10 days left to locate the healthiest possible gamblefor the second half of 2011. I’m referring to a smart risk that will bring out the best in you, expandthe hell out of your mind, and inspire you to shed at least 10% of your narcissism and 15% of yourpessimism. Trust your gut as much as your brain, Virgo. It will be important to have them both fullyengaged as you make your foray all the way out there to the edge of your understanding.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “He got a big ego, such a huge ego,” sings Beyoncé in her song “Ego.”“It’s too big, it’s too wide/It’s too strong, it won’t fit/It’s too much, it’s too tough/He talk like this’cause he can back it up.” I would love to be able to address that same message to you in thecoming days, Libra. I’m serious. I’d love to admire and marvel at your big, strong ego. This is one ofthose rare times when the cosmic powers-that-be are giving you clearance to display your beautiful,glorious self in its full radiance. Extra bragging is most definitely allowed, especially if it’s donewith humor and wit. A bit of preening, mugging, and swaggering is permissible as well.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Rob Brezsny: Please, sir, if you could do me a cost-free favorand tell me something special about my upcoming future, I would be amazingly glad and wouldspread good will about you everywhere. My age is 34, and I am sharply eager to know in detailabout my next five years at least – any big good or bad predictions. Kindly be very specific, nocloudy generalizations. – Fayyaz Umair Aziz, First-Degree Scorpio.” Dear Fayyaz: I’m happy to informyou that your future is not set in stone; you have the power to carve out the destiny you prefer. Andit so happens that the next four weeks will be prime time for you Scorpios to formulate a clearmaster plan (or reformulate your existing one) and take a vow to carry it out with impeccability.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my readers sent me an interesting tale. He said theteacher Rudolf Steiner “once had a devotee who complained that after years of meditating andstudying sacred texts he had not yet had a spiritual experience. Steiner asked him if he’d noticedthe face of the conductor on the train on which they were riding. <strong>The</strong> man said no. Steiner replied,‘<strong>The</strong>n you just missed a spiritual experience.’” This is a good tip for you to keep in mind in the comingweeks, Sagittarius. It will be a time when you can dramatically expedite and intensify your educationabout spiritual matters by noticing the beauty and holiness in the most mundane things.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve got two bits of information for you late bloomers out there,two inspirational messages to quell your worry about how long everything seems to be taking tounfold for you. First comes this fact: While some oak trees begin growing acorns after two decades,many don’t produce a single acorn until they’re 40 or even 50 years old. Your second messageis from poet Robert Bly: “I know a lot of men who are healthier at age 50 than they have everbeen before, because a lot of their fear is gone.” Keep the faith, Capricorn – and continue yourpersistent efforts.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Russia has more psychic healers than medical doctors. Researchdone by the World Health Organization says so. While licensed physicians number around640,000, there are 800,000 witches and wizards who use occult means to perform their cures.Personally, I prefer a more balanced ratio. I feel most comfortable when there are equal amountsof officially sanctioned practitioners and supernaturally inspired mavericks. In fact, that’s my guidingprinciple in pretty much every situation. I want as many unorthodox rebels who mess with theproven formulas as serious professionals who are highly skilled at playing by the rules. That helpskeep both sides honest and allows me to avoid being led astray by the excesses and distortions ofeach. May I recommend a similar approach for you in the coming week?PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “<strong>The</strong> most frequently leveled criticism of Jimmy Fallon is that helaughs too much.” So begins a New York magazine profile of the late-night talk show host. “Helaughs before jokes, after jokes, during jokes. He is TV’s most inveterate cracker-upper.” Cynicspoint to this as proof that he’s suffering from a profound character defect. But there is anotherpossibility, says New York: “Fallon laughs so much because he’s just having a really good time.”According to my reading of the astrological omens, Pisces, you’re primed to have a Fallon-likeweek – a period when the fun is so liberating and the play is so cathartic and the good timesare so abundant that you’ll be in a chronic state of amusement. In response, people addicted totheir gloom and doom might try to shame you. I say: Don’t you dare let them inhibit your rightfulrelief and release.ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming days you have permission from the universe to dwellless on what needs to be resisted, protested, flushed out, and overcome. Instead you have licenseto concentrate on what deserves to be fostered, encouraged, bolstered, and invited in. Sound likefun? It will be if you can do it, but it may not be as easy to accomplish as it sounds. <strong>The</strong>re are manyinfluences around you that are tempting you to draw your energy from knee-jerk oppositionalismand cynical nay-saying. So in order to take full advantage of what life is offering you, you will haveto figure out how to rebel in a spirit of joy and celebration.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions,” said seerEdgar Cayce. That’s your thought for the week, Taurus. Not just in dreams but in your waking life aswell, you will be experiencing insights, hearing stories, and getting messages that provide usefulinformation for the crucial questions you have not yet framed, let alone posed. I hope that by tellingyou this, I will expedite your work on formulating those pertinent questions.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “<strong>The</strong> most important thing in acting is honesty,” said Hollywood actorGeorge Burns. “If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” <strong>The</strong> same thing is true about life itself inthe coming weeks, Gemini. <strong>The</strong> more you dispense the raw truth – even if you have to push yourselfto do it – the more successful you’ll be. Being a fount of radical authenticity might feel like aperformance at first, but it’ll eventually get easier, more natural.Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’sEXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES.<strong>The</strong> audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 877/873-4888 or 900/950-7700.HOMEAIR CONDITIONINGFree Service CallsWith or without repairCall Chez 24/7 @512-363-2141.Find me on Facebook!TACL B27567Echezac.wordpress.comFLOORINGFrida’s FlooringTile & Grout SpecialistsCall Now for a Free Estimate694-3591HANDYMAN PAINTING Carpentry/Welding/ALLRepairs/Drywall/Textures/Interior/Ext./Free Est/903.5065HOME IMPROVEMENTDIY Consultant.
