COVER<br />
Idyllwild Arts was temporarily<br />
evacuated due <strong>to</strong> the<br />

campus is unharmed. We<br />

JAZZ IN THE PINES<br />
TIPS TO ACT LIKE A LOCAL<br />
Driving <strong>to</strong> the festival can take an hour<br />
from the <strong>Desert</strong> floor so plan accordingly!<br />
With doors opening at 10 am and the show<br />
starting at 10:30, you’ll want <strong>to</strong> give yourself<br />
time <strong>to</strong> park and settle in.<br />
Drive defensively around <strong>to</strong>wn, since not<br />
every other driver will be cautious. Make<br />
sure you a have a legal, designated driver<br />
if you plan <strong>to</strong> buy alcohol on the festival<br />
grounds.<br />
Note: There is no parking on the Idyllwild<br />
Arts Campus, so note the pick-up points<br />
on the map for transportation <strong>to</strong> and from<br />
the main gate. Free shuttle locations are<br />
marked as a circle with a star inside it.<br />
Children under 18 are admitted free when<br />
accompanied by a paying adult. Smoking<br />
is allowed only in designated smoking<br />
areas. There is no smoking in and around<br />
the stages. This is strictly enforced, Please<br />
be courteous with sun umbrellas and large<br />
hats. nothing is more annoying <strong>to</strong> be asked<br />
<strong>to</strong> take off that silly hat.<br />
Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable.<br />
Come prepared for rain and bring<br />
a sweater or light jacket as evenings can<br />
be cool. Comfortable and sturdy walking<br />
shoes are a must as forest pathways can be<br />
uneven. No Pho<strong>to</strong>graphy of performances<br />
PLEASE! Chairs with backs no higher than<br />
32 inches are allowed in the Amphitheater/Main<br />
stage area. Cell reception is bad<br />
in the mountains and phones should be<br />
turned off during performances.<br />

Some highlights <strong>to</strong> enjoy Saturday.<br />
11:00 -- 12:15<br />
Pete Escovedo Orchestra<br />
Peter Escovedo is a Mexican-American<br />
percussionist. Escovedo combines Latin and<br />
salsa rhythms with his jazz. With his two<br />
brothers, Pete formed the Escovedo Brothers<br />
Latin Jazz Sextet, before Carlos Santana hired<br />
Pete and Coke Escovedo for his group. He<br />
led the <strong>14</strong>–24 piece Latin big band Azteca.<br />
Escovedo participated in the San Francisco<br />
music scene for several decades. He is the<br />
father of famed percussionist Sheila E.<br />
12:45 -- 2:00<br />

This year, one of the new groups at the festival<br />

popular jazz musician. He has several awards<br />

Graham Dechter Quartet feat. John Clay<strong>to</strong>n,<br />
Jeff Hamil<strong>to</strong>n & Tamir Hendelman<br />
An accomplished guitarist, composer, and<br />
arranger, Idyllwild Arts Academy alum Graham<br />
Dechter plays with the kind of swinging<br />
authority and seasoned maturity that belies<br />
his youth. The Los Angeles native shows a<br />
deep reverence for the jazz guitar tradition<br />
in his warm-<strong>to</strong>ned renditions of ballads,<br />
bossas, bebop, and blues. A formidable soloist<br />
and consummate accompanist, he imbues<br />
standards with rare enthusiasm and an inherent<br />
bluesiness while carving his own path with<br />
affecting original compositions.<br />

THE ART OF DANCE: THE<br />
CHOREOGRAPHY OF POLITICAL<br />
GESTURES!<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
and how he used body language as an<br />
extension of his political message.<br />
AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
Dance has been recognized as an art of<br />
human expression throughout the ages.<br />
Choreography is the art of designing<br />
movements that make up dance<br />
sequences. In the LGBTQ community<br />
dance has always been an integral aspect<br />
of communication, expression, and<br />
enjoyment. It may be in the form of<br />
watching and moving along with go-go<br />
dancers at a bar, or serenely watching<br />
a ballet performance in a theater, an or<br />
in actually dancing with a partner in<br />
any venue of enjoying integrated body<br />
movement.<br />
Recently a visual artist who works<br />
primarily in video and performing arts,<br />
Liz Magic Laser, She has studied the<br />
(performance), movement in the way<br />
politicians get their message across<br />
behind a speakers podium. Liz Magic<br />
Laser watches these political speeches<br />
with the sound turned off. This caused<br />
the viewer <strong>to</strong> focus on the movement<br />
and gestures primarily in the hands and<br />
arms of the political speaker. She has<br />
studied the outline of how <strong>to</strong> influence<br />
with gestures as put forth by the French<br />
theoretician Francois Delsarte in the<br />
early 1800's. Her fascination began with<br />
watching the speeches of Barack Obama<br />
To do this analysis she set up a still<br />
camera with au<strong>to</strong>matic sequence shots<br />
about one second in space filming<br />
videos of Obama's and George H. W.<br />
Bushes speeches. She also along with<br />
a male dance performer, created a<br />
choreographed interpretation of the<br />
speeches, titled, "Talk <strong>to</strong> the Hand".<br />
Liz Magic Laser's statement regarding<br />
the performance explains her concerns<br />
regarding the message of politics. "In<br />
<strong>to</strong>day's fractured political sphere...we are<br />
living in strange days where performance<br />
itself has become the dominant<br />

instrument of power. The basic analysis<br />
of these two political performers was<br />
stated by the narra<strong>to</strong>r of the show,<br />
George H. W. Bush seemed <strong>to</strong> be making<br />
rapid hand movements <strong>to</strong> the side as<br />
a snake striking or someone stabbing.<br />
Obama's gestures were interpreted as<br />
more using his fingers <strong>to</strong> pluck delicate<br />
flowers as he was discussing the perils<br />
of climate change if intervention is not<br />
attempted <strong>to</strong> change it. You can see the<br />
whole performance with the the video<br />
interpretations and choreographed<br />
reeiactments of political gestures at,<br />

Fabeyonce “Shady Lady”<br />
In these days of our lives, we come across many<br />
different types of personalities. Some we love<br />
and some we just can live without. I know in<br />
my 5 years of doing drag, I came across many<br />
different cups of T. Some loved me, and some<br />
just couldn't have it with me, not sure why that<br />
was.<br />
I know when I came out I was young and<br />
pushed myself <strong>to</strong> grow which got me booked in<br />
places with other entertainers that I eventually<br />
became friends with. And with that head<br />
start, I started <strong>to</strong> work even harder and push<br />
my skills and learn new music <strong>to</strong> lip sync <strong>to</strong>o.<br />
When I started <strong>to</strong> host my first show, it was lots<br />
of fun and I kept it like that. I got offered <strong>to</strong><br />
host another and then another, so I did it.<br />
With that I was so proud of myself. I <strong>to</strong>ld<br />
myself “Girl, you are the youngest host here in<br />
Palm springs”, and I was the happiest person in<br />
the world but... Shadowing me was the Shady<br />
Ladies, throwing shade from every corner,<br />
making up lies, posting negative stuff about me<br />
and my shows and it kept on for a while.<br />
has <strong>to</strong> say. If you love what your doing, do it<br />
and do it so well, that people have reasons <strong>to</strong><br />
talk, so they can say “Shit, this girl works her<br />
ass off ” and after time, all the Shady people<br />
will s<strong>to</strong>p and kiss your ass and be your friend.<br />
That's when it's your decision <strong>to</strong> be an adult<br />
and forgive or be the bigger adult and forget.<br />
I choose neither (lol). I remember everything<br />
throughout my journey and I take it very<br />
personal. I look at everyone who has helped<br />
me along the way, from making a costume, <strong>to</strong><br />
giving me a piece of jewelry, <strong>to</strong> even lending<br />
me a wig. It's the small things like that that<br />
really matter. I never have much <strong>to</strong> say about<br />
other entertainers, but I will compliment them<br />
on what they do best and recognize it, so it<br />
pushes them <strong>to</strong> be the best they can be.<br />
I tell all my girls there's lots of shade out there<br />
and we can't shed light <strong>to</strong> most of it, but if<br />
you carry yourself well and around others,<br />
they have no reason <strong>to</strong> talk, unless they’re<br />
jealous, insecure, or just threatened. Walk with<br />
confidence, keep your head up, and be the<br />
freakin best you can be. Don't let anyone s<strong>to</strong>p<br />
you or push the breaks on you. Go for it, make<br />
it work. I wish at the time I had someone who<br />
could have <strong>to</strong>ld me that instead of learning by<br />
myself. Thank y'all for listening <strong>to</strong> me rant.<br />
Until next time. Love you all.<br />
I never knew what I did wrong. What I did<br />
know is that I worked my ass off and wasn't<br />
afraid <strong>to</strong> be honest and I booked different girls<br />
from all around, so that they have a spotlight<br />
and a chance, like I was given, and I promoted<br />
them and my shows like no other. I'd make<br />
Love,<br />
flyers and go <strong>to</strong> the malls in drag, hand them<br />
Fabeyonce<br />
out, and take pictures just <strong>to</strong> get my name out<br />
McMichaels<br />
there, something most queens wouldn't do. I<br />
remember asking myself many times, “What<br />
did I do wrong <strong>to</strong> make all this happen? Why Fabeyonce<br />
is this happening <strong>to</strong> me? How can I make it<br />
s<strong>to</strong>p?”. There was no way of doing any of that.<br />
The best thing <strong>to</strong> do is BE YOURSELF AND<br />
LOVE YOURSELF RESPECT AND WORRY<br />

continued from page 9<br />
books and owns two restaurants in Los<br />
Angeles, Maude in Beverly Hills and<br />
Gwen in Hollywood.<br />
Modesty aside, how would you describe<br />
yourself?<br />
I take life and the world pretty lightly<br />
and try <strong>to</strong> see the funny side of things.<br />
At least that’s who I hope I am. And for<br />
as busy as I get, I’m a family man – love<br />
my kids, love my wife.<br />
You grew up in Australia where you<br />
started your career before going <strong>to</strong><br />
London, a city not famous for its food.<br />
Can you dispel that myth?<br />
London is a fabulous food <strong>to</strong>wn. It’s a<br />
melting pot of cultures plus plenty of<br />
Michelin-starred restaurants. I just don’t<br />
buy it when people say London has<br />
poor food. The city’s got cred.<br />
Aside from being a renowned and celebrated<br />
chef, your prolific career includes<br />
television shows, publishing books and<br />
countless appearances. Does the celebrity<br />
fac<strong>to</strong>r ever become <strong>to</strong>o much?<br />
I wouldn’t say it’s <strong>to</strong>o much because I<br />
enjoy it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be doing<br />
it. It’s nice doing television in Los<br />
Angeles because we’ll shoot during the<br />
day and then when we wrap, I can head<br />
<strong>to</strong> the restaurants in time for service. I<br />
really do love the energy of the kitchen,<br />
which is why it was important <strong>to</strong> me <strong>to</strong><br />
open my own restaurants.<br />
For those of us unfamiliar, please name<br />
a few authentically Australian dishes.<br />
Beef and pork roasts are big for us<br />
Aussies. And the pavlova is a classic<br />
Australian dessert. I also love a good<br />
sausage roll.<br />
How is the Los Angeles palette different<br />
than other major cities?<br />
Los Angeles has a sophisticated palate<br />
because there is so much food here. I<br />
am happy <strong>to</strong> see the city finally being<br />
recognized as a culinary destination<br />
and coming in<strong>to</strong> its own. It’s cool <strong>to</strong> be<br />
able <strong>to</strong> head <strong>to</strong> K-Town and eat incredible<br />
Korean food then pop over <strong>to</strong> a food<br />
truck for a few tacos. It’s just going <strong>to</strong><br />
keep getting better.<br />
Aside from your restaurant Maude in<br />
Beverly Hills, do you have a favorite<br />
eatery in LA?<br />
I’m a big fan of Asian food, probably<br />
because I don’t really make it for myself.<br />
Luv2Eat is a great Thai place just down<br />
the block from my restaurant, Gwen, in<br />
Hollywood. Some of those dishes are<br />
HOT, I mean, fiery hot. But it’s my new<br />
favorite.<br />

What’s new on your play list?<br />
It’s constantly changing. I listen <strong>to</strong><br />
Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW<br />
when I’m in the car headed <strong>to</strong> work. I’m<br />
always finding new music there.<br />
What’s your favorite charity or cause?<br />
I’ve been working with Chrysalis since<br />
we opened Maude in 20<strong>14</strong>. It’s an L.A.-<br />
based nonprofit working <strong>to</strong> give low-income<br />
and homeless individuals second<br />
chances through employment.<br />
What exciting project do you have coming<br />
up?<br />
We’re revamping the Maude concept so<br />
we’ll close the restaurant for a couple of<br />
weeks at the beginning of the New Year<br />
and reopen with quarterly menus based<br />
on wine regions around the world.<br />
Tell me a secret-a good one.<br />
Then it wouldn’t be a secret.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Let’s begin with good news. Yes, there is<br />
some!<br />
Unemployment figures are out, and<br />
Cathedral City’s unemployment rate has<br />
dropped <strong>to</strong> 2.7!!! 3% is considered full<br />
employment. Thank you, Cathedral City<br />
Au<strong>to</strong> Center! Thank you, Cathedral City<br />
Cannabis businesses! And thank you <strong>to</strong> the<br />
hospitality business sec<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
Cathedral City IS the plane <strong>to</strong> do business!<br />
Now back <strong>to</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n and the fantasy<br />
land there. Week 2 of the Paul Manafort<br />
trial begins. His accountant has already<br />
testified she lied <strong>to</strong> IRS officials at<br />
Manorfort’s each! Not <strong>to</strong> mention the<br />
specialty jackets and shoes. This week<br />
there will be more testimony about lying <strong>to</strong><br />
federal investiga<strong>to</strong>rs and hiding money.<br />
President Trump, FINALLY, admitted that<br />
the meeting with the Russians was about<br />
getting dirt on Hillary and NOT about<br />
adoptions. He practically threw his son<br />
under the bus, saying that he was in legal<br />
jeopardy and while Don Jr. didn’t think he<br />
was doing anything wrong, it may not look<br />
that way <strong>to</strong> others.<br />
and Secretary Clin<strong>to</strong>n for all the hacking<br />
info that has been discovered. He then went<br />
after Congresswoman Maxine Waters, CNN<br />
anchor Don Lemon and new Los Angeles<br />
Laker LeBron James. Not surprisingly, all<br />
three are African Americans.<br />
He continues <strong>to</strong> show he a racist and<br />
homophobe. And we thought George W.<br />
Bush was bad.<br />
Reports continue that the President has<br />
become more and more erratic. Screaming,<br />
lashing out, etc. and now that his wife is<br />
speaking out more and more in opposition<br />
<strong>to</strong> his policies, it seems like it is only going<br />
<strong>to</strong> get worse.<br />
Trump has now been <strong>to</strong>ld <strong>to</strong> not focus<br />
on campaigning for the House of<br />
Representatives and concentrate on the<br />
Senate, so he can be protected from<br />
impeachment. Walls are closing in. Finally.<br />
Stay active. Register and then VOTE!<br />
Always RESIST!<br />
Greg Pettis is a 22 year city councilman<br />
in Cathedral City. Greg was the first openly<br />
gay elected city council members In<br />
The President, again, did this past week<br />
what he always does when he feels his back Riverside County. He has served on the<br />
is against the wall. He attacks people that boards of the National League of Cities<br />
and the League of California Cities and as<br />
have no connection <strong>to</strong> him or his problem.<br />
President of the Southern CA Association<br />
First, he blamed former President Obama of Governments.<br />
