INSIDE THIS WEEK'S ISSUE s nthesis

KNIGHT OF WANDS FINALE *Insert dramatic music that sounds kind of wizardy* It's the fourth and final installment of our kickass fantasy series written by Justin Ferrin and illustrated by Nik Burman! If you loved this feature as much as we did, don't worry, you can still find all four parts online. And maybe if we clap loud enough, he'll make an encore.

REBELS LACROSSE YOUR FACE Following in the grand Chico tradition of being generally awesome at everything, the Chico Rebels Lacrosse teams are killing it this season. "We have lacrosse teams?" Not only do we have youth lacrosse teams for nearly all ages, but we've got Chico State lacrosse too! Check out www. facebook.com/ChicoRebelsLacrosse and peep that raw ath­leticism for yourself.

DRE DAY Dr. Dre's album, The Chronic, was the quintessential hip-hop album of the 90s and now, 20 years later, Kevin Hoganson­AKA i2k oflocal rap group, the Hooliganz-is ready to take center stage and pay tribute to the hip-hop legend. Backing up the MC will be Sacramento's jam/funk rockers ZuhG. Senior rap analyst Ky Junkins sits down with Hoganson and gives Synthesis the full report on the musicians that didn't forget about Dre.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Sara Calvosa [email protected]

Brave Taco Truck Hunter As I drove jauntily down East Ave a couple of weeks ago, not on my way to the Cupcake Crusader, I was visually smacked in the face by an amazing sight. A crappy, hand-painted, red and white sign declaring that there were "Native American Indian Tacos" right...somewhere. I slammed on the brakes and tentatively pulled into the parking lot. I stared at the space where I felt the Indian Tacos should be, but no Indian Tacos manifested in front of me. I had already started count­ing the calories I was about to scarf hard, and my tummy was getting angry and confused.

My love for the "Native American Indian Taco" goes deep inside my DNA. I grew up eating them at fundraisers, in the gym snack bar, at every sporting event, parade, community festival, and for funsies anywhere else they happened to be. The way those ladies back home could bust out a perfectly puffy, partly crispy, yet soft and fluffy, piece of fried dough, then slather it in salty beans and ground meat and some salad type stuff on top .. .it was soul-warming nourishment. And also, I had a rockin' metabolism back then so I was basically a deep bottomless pit of daily Indian Tacos.

After several drive-bys, out of my way, and finding no evidence of a taco truck, I started marking my calendar. Sundays and Mondays weren't working out for me. But one errant Tuesday, on a roundabout route to the Trader Joes, I saw a food truck parked in the sign -spot like a shimmering mirage of deliciousness. California Taco! I barely remember ordering, but this is what I got, and this is what you should get too-an Indian Taco with chicken and everything on it. The fry bread was money and the chicken had that awesome grilled flavor. I folded it up and ate that masterpiece straight to my dome. I am so delighted to have this little slice of my life springing up here; Chico feels like home more than ever.

Luckily, I did not spend all my time this week hunting down Indian Tacos or chasing ice-cream trucks. We put together a veritable cornucopia of coolness in this week's issue. Scene reports and music features abound, a photo essay about our robust lacrosse movement, and the fourth installment in the Knight of Wands series. And for those of you that follow local grown-up softball, be sure to check out the Synthesizers update and behold Nolan's coaching prowess as he stoically converts his Bad News Bears into the winners he always knew they could be, when he finally sobered up and started caring.

Tips for a Successful Night of Drinking!

Part II Tip # l We cannot emphasize this one enough: Alcohol and driving do not mix! Even bikes and alcohol don't mix well when you've had too much to drink. And don't even think of walking home alone after a night of drinking. Call a cab!

Tip #2 Don't drink hard liquor straight. Always have a mixer to water it down. Even ask for a larger glass such as a pint with a single shot.

Tip # 3 Count your drinks. If you can't remember what number drink you're on -STOR Drinking games are BAD NEWS! Beer pong, flip cup, and corn-hole all make it really difficult to keep up with how much you've had!

Tip # 4 film Mix alcohol with legal and illicit drugs! It is hard on your liver, kidneys and can be deadly. Mixing cocaine with alcohol is much more toxic than cocaine, increasing the risk of a heart attack 25% and lowers the seizure threshold. Taking prescription narcotics like Norco, Vicodin, or Percocet with alcohol can be fatal.

Tip #5 mm leave a friend alone that is obviously over­intoxicated, incoherent or vomiting. Get help! The most common reason Chico students do not call for help is because they are afraid of getting into trouble with law enforcement. Never be afraid to help yourself or a friend.

Save these numbers in your phone: Chico Police: (530) 895-4911 University Police: (530) 898-5555 EMERGENCY: 911

KNOW YOUR LIMIT! J-o ·-------------------------------------~--.

Hearts on Fire Hearts have been turning up all over the place. In rocks ...

bones .. .! even turned over the frying pan the other day and the

shape left on the heated underside, in steel against corroded ore,

is that of a heart.

Maybe the hearts were

heralding the coming

of the old cat sleeping in my truck. We've

named her Coffee

because she is black

and has a pretty nasty

cough.I thought she

was young because she's very small, but

the vet informed me

the cat is just petite and geriatric. She is barely more than skin

and bones, and her teeth are so badly worn down and infected that she can barely eat, but we've got Coffee on antibiotics and

very soft food. We suspect she may have been abandoned by

some of our neighbors who lost their home and had to move

away; tough circumstances. I found the dying cat sitting on the

side of the road and she didn't even flinch when I approached.

She had managed to kill a mole, but she had no way to eat it. She

looked at me with desperation in her eyes, meowed, and was

then wracked by a coughing fit. There was just no way I could

let her die there on the side of the road. Coffee may not be long

for this Earth, but at least she is resting peacefully, someplace

where she can feel relatively safe.

Cycles of Suffering

I feel like there isn't much better we can do in this world than to

reduce the overall level of suffering. We can do that a couple of

different ways: we can work to decrease the inevitable suffering

that the harsh reality of existence requires by reducing our

impact and removing ourselves from cycles of cruelty, and we

can work actively to create things that make lives better, by

making beauty and providing comfort.

Music to Soothe the Mad Soul

Speaking of making the world a better place, there is some

exciting new music out there. This upcoming Saturday night

the Michelin Embers are celebrating the release of their debut

album, Talapachie, with a performance at the Maltese Taproom.

FACEBOOK.COM/CHICOCA • SYNTHESISWEEKLY.COM

The four-piece string band plays a unique style of music they call "Western Skiffie:' I've had a chance to listen to the album

and it's a real treat. I'm looking forward to the show.

News of a new album in the works from Chico's own Aubrey

Debauchery is generating a lot of excitement. Fans contributing

to a crowd-funding campaign realized the goal in something

like two minutes flat. I might be exaggerating, but not by much.

While the initial funding goal has been met, the campaign

is on-going and any additional money raised will go toward

those unplanned expenses that inevitably arise in any creative

production. Additionally, the funding campaign is, in the words of Ms. Debauchery, "the best way to pre-order the new album,

plus get some extra stuff on the side:' I've been lucky enough to

catch a couple of Debauchery's recent performances. Her newer

songs are top-notch, and her voice is as strong and beautiful as

ever.

Tax-Time

Goddamnit, the television just reminded me I still have to file

our taxes. That's alright though, it's a lengthy Howard tradition

to file way after April 15th. I'm ahead of the curve.

The Anatomy Of A Plate Dining is about pleasure. That's it. There is no

reason to pay a bajillion dollars to have a sub­

par experience. But how can you tell you're

having a sub-par experience if you don't know how to break it down old-school?

I recently ordered the Pan-Roasted Mary's

Chicken Breast at Red Tavern. Because the

Tavern is known for quality meals, dining there

offers a great

opportunity to

practice your

restaurant critic skills. Here's

how to break

a dish like this

down:

First, take

in the

presentation.

The overall

presentation of Red Tavern's

chicken dish

was simple,

but nice. Very

classic. The

chicken was

a perfectly

cooked, juicy

airline cut breast-a cut

I 0 {) 0 oo 0

that includes the first section of the wing. This

is a good point to ask yourself: does a fancy cut

really add to the value of the dish? Or does it

offer only "plate appeal?" I love getting the little drummette attached to the breast, and I think

it offers a nicer presentation. On this one, the

answer for me, is yes.

Then get down to the taste. On this dish, the

spice rub could have been a little more exciting.

Still, there are only a few places you can go

in Chico for a very nicely roasted piece of

chicken.

The breast sat atop a green pea risotto. I love

risotto. I also love green peas. This is the part

where personal interpretation comes into play.

The chef preserved the tooth of each grain as

anyone who appreciates risotto should. It was

texturally correct, but I love whorishly creamy

Italian risotto because it's so slutty good. I

wanted a little more of that. Does that mean the

chef was wrong? No. He interpreted the dish

according to his taste, training, and expertise.

On a slightly more technical note, the risotto

was a little over-peppered, so the sweetness of

6 0

0ClLLtteJ l t..K

CD\Y\{>C~tl_-

the early spring

peas didn't

shine to their

full potential.

The sauteed

spring onion

component of

the dish and

the homemade

ricotta were

fantastic.

The spring

onions offered

that earthy

sweetness I

was missing

with the peas,

and the texture

of the ricotta

was right on.

The balsamic

reduction that

rimmed the plate, however, was over-caramelized to the

point of giving off a burnt hickory flavor, and therefore, couldn't add anything more than

a little presentation flair. Every element on a

plate should be there for good reason: to be

eaten and enjoyed.

It's also helpful to keep menu pricing in

perspective when dining higher-end. Sure,

that steak you had might have been good, but

was it $56 good? If you're paying for pleasure,

then you want to get your money's worth. Ask

yourself: were the flavors exciting? Did they

work together? Would I order that dish again?

Go get 'em, foodies.

No Lunch For You! My least favorite year of school was 7th grade.

There's something about that preteen age

that's simply unbearable; both as a first-hand

experience and as anyone unlucky enough to

be caught in the awkward, sweaty crosshairs of mental craziness that trickles down from

your dumb brain and spews out the word-hole

situated in the head region of the garbage pit of

puberty and pestilence you call a body.

There also seems

to be a loss of

innocence that

takes place around

this time. Erratic

hormones obviously

play a part, but

one supplemental

theory I've reached

is that 7th grade

serves as the first

substantial stop

where students

begin to learn, by trial and error,

the ways in which

to interact with

other humans. (By the way, if you're

reading this and

you happen to have

a kid who currently

attends middle

school, I guarantee

that they are a total

dickhead. They can't help it, because hormones and stuff. But yeah, total chode material. Truth).

With the students practicing prime douche­

canoe behavior, it seems pretty self-explanatory

that the staff and faculty at each middle school

must feel added pressure to be on their best

behavior; to be shining examples of goodwill

and maturity that the students can look to as the

few positive role models they encounter while

on school grounds. Wouldn't you? Imagine

my surprise then, when I stumbled across a

story (published by Foodbeast) wherein a few

lunch ladies in Massachusetts decided to teach

students a little lesson about the importance of

managing their debt. Students who owed money

on prepaid lunch cards (no matter how paltry the sum), were handed their lunches only to

have the aforementioned lunches snatched back

and thrown in the trash (apparently the lunch

ladies in Massachusetts idolize the Soup Nazi).

I guess they thought it was important to teach

them that humiliation can come when you least

expect it-from both the smelly, overweight

kid in the Tap Out

shirt AND the

adults who are

in charge of your health, safety, and

general well-being while you're at

school. The lunch ladies are (last

time I checked)

still employed after

apologizing for the

incident.

Switching gears now, if you're a fan

of comic series Y The Last Man or Ex

Machina, and

you're not reading Brian K. Vaughan's

series Saga, you should be. Vaughan's

long-awaited return

to comics does

not disappoint,

woven into a space adventure, fantasy

tapestry, heavy with his trademark of richly

developed characters and engaging storylines.

Unfortunately, if you enjoy reading comics on

an Apple device and youu like to read Saga,

you're shit-out-of-luck. Because of two

"postage-stamp-sized" images of gay sex,

Apple is banning issue #12 from being sold

through any iOS apps. You can read Vaughan's

full response to their knee-jerk censorship on Image's Tumblr account. Here's hoping that

the public backlash following Apple's refusal

to distribute the series-traditionally rich with

nudity and violence (which has never been a

problem)-will restore access to the issue.

The pain is intense. I want to close my eyes and fade away for a while .. .I

must fight that. Ifl don't stay lucid, I'm fucked. I clench my jaw tightly and visualize the

victory beer I'm going to have at The Hung Elephant---dark with a thick head and not too bitter. The blood pouring from my back is hot and sticky. I move my hand back to feel the wound. It feels like she missed my vitals and a clot is already forming.

Elyse enters a crypt and pulls someone out from the gloomy enclosure. He 's tall, gangly, and tied up from head to toe. That 's got to be her virgin. She shoves him down onto his knees next to two other bodies and removes his gag. Despite his impending doom, the boy remains stoic. We'll see how long that lasts.

I drag myself slowly across the icy grass. I don't feel up to standing yet-and anyway, that would let her know that I'm alive. A familiar burning sensation radiates from the depths of my stab wound. Despite how often I find myself regenerating from wounds, I never get accustomed to the way it feels. I crawl behind a tall tombstone and look up at the sky. The moon is seconds from reaching its peak. I pull my gun with an important decision to make---do I shoot her now or after she 's started the ritual? Ifl kill her now the boy lives, but ifl wait until he 's dead Virgil will be lost forever. It 's a decent trade from where I'm sitting. Elyse begins chanting in some dead language. I pull my gun and take aim from behind the gravestone. The moon shines brightly in Elyse's knife as she raises the blade above the sacrifice.

Eerie green mist forms above Virgil 's corpse. There 's a face in the mist, Virgil 's face. Elyse grasps the knife with both hands and raises the blade. With a fanatic look in her eyes she plunges the knife down. I'm struck by the thought of that innocent kid stuck in limbo for eternity with an angry wizard. Before I know it, I've popped off a round. Elyse collapses and the green mist fades into the night.

I holster my gun and wander over to free the sacrifice; he 's

I a APRIL 15 - APRIL 21, 2013

still kneeling beside the corpse. Though clearly emaciated, Virgil no longer looks dead. His cheeks even look a little rosy. I watch for signs of life but there are none, and how could there be? The ritual wasn't completed. I return my attention to the shivering boy. He has dark brown hair, green eyes, and a face full of freckles. He eyes me suspiciously when I pull my knife, struggling against the ropes as I bring the blade toward him.

"Be still." Surprisingly, he complies and I cut his bonds. After sheathing the knife, I help him to his feet. 'TU be right back. Stay put," I command as I tum and start to walk.

"Where are you going?" His voice is shaky.

"Maintenance shed."

I make a beeline over sunken plots to a dilapidated shack at the cemetery's southwest comer. The door is sticky so I slam against it, causing the shack to quake and groan. It takes two more hits for the door to creak open. The shed is filled with rusted old tools like pruning saws and a push mower. When I cased the cemetery earlier I left a gas can in this shed, and it 's waiting for me just right of the doorway. The gas sloshes around all the way back to the bodies. The boy is still standing there trembling when I return.

"Good, you didn' t run off."

"I don't even know where I am."

"Don' t worry about that. I'll get you home soon."

I set down the gas and walk over to the crypt where they had kept the boy. I poke around a bit and come across a navy backpack which must 've belonged to Elyse. I swipe it and walk over to the apprentice's body. I strip it of valuables and then drag it over to Virgil 's corpse. I walk to Elyse and take back my coat, tonight is damn frosty. The boy just stands there watching me work. Maybe I should've sent him to my car before I started moving bodies, too late now. I take two

rings and a pendant from Elyse's body before dragging her to the others. The smell of gasoline fills the air as I empty the red can on the three bodies. I pull a cigarette from the pack and take a few steps back. I motion for the kid to do the same, but he doesn' t seem to understand.

"What 's your name, kid?"

"Henry, sir."

"Unless you want to be barbecue too you should step back, Henry." With a sheepish look on his face Henry comes and stands next to me. I take out a match, get my cigarette burning and then toss the little flame onto the bodies. They light up with a whoosh.

Henry looks up at me. "You know, those will kill you."

Without thinking, my hand finds its way to the freshly healed wound on my back. "Doubtful." I take a deep drag. "Let 's get out of here." I'd hate to be here when the sheriff arrives.

When the Chico Rebels Junior Varsity Lacrosse team

takes the field, their competitors take notice. Undefeated in seven

outings this season, and Northern Cali­fornia Junior Lacrosse Association Junior

Varsity Champions in 2012, the Rebels JV team seems unstoppable. You wouldn't know

that from reading the daily newspaper or watching the local television sports coverage. While traditional

team sports like baseball, football, and softball receive the lion's share of sports coverage, lacrosse is rarely mentioned, and then as only a box score among a sea of other sports scores.

The Chico Rebels field one team in each of five age groups-Ull, Ul3, UlS, JV, and varsity. They also have a girl's Ul9 team composed ofhigh-school-age girls. Like the junior varsity team, both this year's varsity and UlS teams remain unde­feated for the season.

Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th saw the Rebels UlS, JV, and varsity take down teams from Red Bluff, Fair Oaks, Gold Country (Grass Valley), and Napa.

Future home stints include games on April 20th-21st, and 28th at

AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A

"Yeah ... hell yeah ... "

Those famous words, paired with a serious thumping bass line, and the permeating marketing power of then-music­powerhouse MTV, helped bring gangsta rap into suburbia in the early '90s. Kids everywhere got hooked on hits from The Chronic-Dr. Dre's 1992 debut solo album-including "Let Me Ride;' "Nuthin' but a G Thang;' and "Dre DaY:' While Butte County residents may never hear those words uttered from the mouth of the good Doctor himself, they can still experience the magic Dr. Dre and his West Coast affiliates created in the early '90s and 2000s, thanks to the combined efforts of Sacramento fusion band, ZuhG, and local hip hop group, the Hooliganz.

On Friday, April 19th La Salle's will host ZuhG and Friends who will present "The Dr. Dre Tribute Band" featuring Kevin Hoganson-also known as i2k from the Hooliganz. Hoganson moved to Sacramento six years ago, and though he is still active with fellow Hooliganz J.Pigg, B-Lee, and DJ Marvel, he is also collaborating with new artists there.

"Jr. Halliday, bassist and guitarist from ZuhG, basically had the idea to play a bunch of Dr. Dre songs live for his birthday;' Hoganson said of the band's first rap tribute show.

"We had the show at Harlow's in Sac and people were diggin' it. We pretty much sold out the venue:'

While ZuhG already had its own repertoire of reggae/rock/ hip hop fusion tracks, the band recruited a handful of MCs to rap the verses by Dr. Dre and his associates off of seminal albums The Chronic and Chronic 2001, as well as other

I 10 APRIL 15 - APRIL 21, 2013

relevant jams like "California Love:' Next thing they knew, the band was gigging in San Francisco and Chico.

"It just started out as a fun thing;' Hoganson said. "Everybody thought, 'Hey let's do this, it'll be fun; and it's actually turning into something ... We basically came up with the idea that nobody's doing hip-hop covers ... So far it seems pretty popular because everybody knows that [material], whether you're into hip hop a lot or just a little

bit, [The Chronic] is a classic album that everybody knows the words to, so it's a good time to be able to perform that kind of music:'

In the set, Hoganson delivers verses by Devin the Dude, Kurupt, Hitman, and Dr. Dre.

"It's crazy 'cause when they asked me to come out there and do this, I thought for

sure I was going to get the Eminem verses, and I didn't get one. So it's cool that I didn't get typecast into that. .. I didn't want them, his wordplay's a little too intricate. I'm happy with what I got:'

The band also recruited a keyboard player as well as drummer Lady of Rhythm, who Hoganson described as

"the centerpiece of the group'.' The elements of a live band are what make this concept more than just a bunch of guys spitting out rap hits.

"It works out good with a live band because Dre's production has a lot of sounds like live instrumentation, pianos, synths, bass lines, guitars;' Hoganson said. "When you're playing with a live band, it sounds great; it translates well to a live

audience. If they're feeling it, they'll just keep going and start jamming. It's a party atmosphere:'

While partying is always fun, these days the question of cash inevitably enters the conversation. One can't help but wonder if Dre might hear about this, take a break from selling headphones, and come after whatever money this band is scooping up using his name and his tunes. But Hoganson found the idea laughable.

"We haven't made any money yet, so I don't know," he said. "That might be something that will come up, but I don't think he'd be getting too much money. I think he's got bigger things to worry about, like getting that next album out.... they've been talking about [Detox] forever, for four or five years now:'

Though they might not be stackin' Gs, the tribute band shows business sense booking the La Salle's show for April 19th.

"It's the day-before-4/20-show, to go with the Chronic/ Chronic 2001 aspect;' Hoganson said. "Were just picking up momentum right now and going to see where it goes. As we keep playing more shows, we're just incorporating new music into it, trying to come up with new ideas:'

While the "ZuhG and Friends Present the Dr. Dre Tribute Band" name might sound a little silly, it's difficult to imagine '80s babies and rap aficionados not finding this show seriously kicking. Other than Hoganson, the band is about to learn how Chico gets down.

"I keep telling them Chico's the place to be and it's not going to be like any other times we've had;' Hoganson proclaimed excitedly.

Two-Piece Rock Band Showcase CAFE CODA If hip-hop isn't your thing, then your Friday night best bet lies at Cafe Coda. This week the cafe showcases four of the newest local two-piece rock bands, who aim to prove that you don't need a ton of musicians on stage to create a compelling sound. The night will be led by one of Chico's more actively gigging duos, Palaver, and also feature performances by up-and-comers Dumpstar, Blaster Dead, and Ambient Abuse. This all-ages show costs $5, starts at SPM, and will most likely be super loud. Bring ear plugs or purchase some from the pleasant bar staff.

FRIDAY, APRIL 19rH

John Ross STABs! Chico with Comedy BLUE ROOM THEATRE Red rover, red rover, send your funny bone over. John Ross is back in town for one night with one goal in mind: making you laugh. The night will be served in two shows. At 9PM, the first course will be a delectable array of the stylings of Ross and Chico compatriots Kyle Bowen, Will Craig, and Steve Swim. For the second course starting at l lPM, your earbuds will be treated to the latest, free-range cut from the STAB! podcast. Just $16 for both shows, or select either the stand-up show or podcast show for $12. 18 and over.

The Harmed Brothers

CAFE FLO What's with brothers and Americana music these days? Whatever the deal is, it's working. The Eugene-based quartet composed of stand-up bass, banjo, drums, and acoustic guitar have taken a roots-rock sound and blended it with modern influences to create a sound self-described as "indie-grass:' The act features dual songwriters, Ray Vietti and Alex Salcido, who run the gamut of topics worth singing about such as love, loss, curiosity, and triumph. Come on down Monday night at ?PM, and make sure to tip your bartender.

WHY ARE YOU SMILING? Kenneth Kelly kenneth [email protected]

Mad About Yu I'm a huge baseball fan. I love everything

about the game, except for other baseball

fans. Stereotypically, some sports fans are

among the most unpleasant people, falling

somewhere

between frat boys

and people who

care about the

sound system

in their cars.

Unfortunately,

one of the most

humble sports still has obnoxious,

ignorant fans and

they came out

fully armed with

racial epithets

and historical

inaccuracies the

night Japanese

pitcher Yu Darvish

came within one

out of a perfect

game.

After Darvish

lost his bid

at perfection,

Public Shaming (publicshaming.

tumblr.com) did what they do best: compile

all the tweets they can to make you lose faith

in humanity. I try to stay away from this

site because while some of the stuff can be

funny, most of it is just baffling racism and stupidity. I know "racism" and "stupidity"

seems redundant, but the amount of dumb is

so overwhelming it cannot be contained in one

word.

The tweets Public Shaming collected regarding

Darvish told me something I did not

know- people, including young people, are

still pissed at the Japanese for the bombing

of Pearl Harbor. Several of the tweets read something along the lines of, "that's what

you get for Pearl Harbor #neverforget:' My "favorite" came from Marty Ryan: "hey yu

darvish, blame your ancestors for not getting

the perfect game. Maybe next time they won't bomb Pearl Harbor #hiroshima #nagasaki"

Everything about that statement is so blatantly hypocritical, there's

almost nothing

to be said about

it. All I can say

is, I hope he was

being facetious

and making fun of

the other people

invoking Pearl

Harbor as the

reason Darvish lost

his perfect game.

But that would be

naively optimistic,

considering even

Astros broadcaster

Alan Ashby couldn't repress

his oldness and

whiteness, saying,

"That'll force a guy

to learn some of

the language here in America:' While

I could give him

the benefit of the

doubt and assume he was talking about curse words, the comment was still "look at how

foreign that guy is;' not "look at what a great

ballplayer that guy is:'

It's going to be a long season, and I'm sure

there will be plenty more ignorant dialogue to

come, considering Major League Baseball is

allowing interpreters to accompany managers

and pitching coaches on visits to the mound.

And this is all happening within weeks of the

release of the Jackie Robinson biopic, 42. While

all baseball fans applaud one of the greatest

men to ever play the game, someone who

fearlessly confronted racism day after day after

day, others turn around and call Yu Darvish a

gook. What the fucking shit?

SEXYTIMES Miss Bliss [email protected]

Misdirected Chemistry Dear Sexytimes,

Help! I'll be graduating soon and feel like I

will finally be free to let my favorite professor

know how I really feel him about him. I've

had several classes with him during the course

of my time at college and I've always been

incredibly turned on by him. Some of my

classmates tell me that it's really apparent that

he feels the same

way. What do you

think my first move

should be? I know

he has a wife, but

I've heard from

reliable sources that they don't have a

good relationship

and that he has had

flings with students

in the past. I'm not

looking for just a

hook-up; I truly

believe that he and

I could be the real

deal.

respect him, or even trust him not to do the

same to you?

Unfortunately, it is a common occurrence

for professors to have love affairs with their

students, mostly because it is easy to find

people with similar interests that you look up to attractive. It's easy to see, on one level how

you could connect

with him in the

classroom. But

one context is not

enough to really

know a person,

especially if that

person controls the

context in which

you see them. It

is completely

normal for you

to have feelings

This is when your true

friends should shake

the hell out of you

and tell you to think

with your rational

mind. Despite the

moral dilemma of

instigating an affair with a married man,

what do you think this

relationship will bring

"But one context is not

enough to really know

a person, especially if

that person cont rols

the context in wh ich

for a person who

psychologically

stimulates you,

especially if this

person has some

kind of power over you in any way­after all, he controls

who passes and

fails. The question

is: how many

students before you

have had this same

experience? Does

he knock boots

with a new student

every semester?

you see them . "

you? Do the means

justify the costs? If this man is unhappily

married and has openly had sexual relations

with other students, what makes you feel he is

worthy of your heart? Do you really want to

be in a relationship with a man with a track record of being unfaithful? Ifit is the "real

deal" and he has feelings for you, what would

make you different than the laundry list of former students with whom he's had affairs?

Would he leave his wife for you? Would you

want him ifhe did? Would you be able to

If you decide to initiate a relationship with this

man, go into it with a complete understanding

that this may be his MO. If you are okay

with this and still want to pursue a physical

relationship, then the best way to approach it is

to wait until you are no longer a student of his

and ask him out to coffee. If you feel it could be the "real deal;' then he will feel the same

way and won't hesitate to accept your generous

invitation.

I'D TAP THAT Carolyn Cleland & Brian Kanabrocki [email protected]

A First Draft Growing up as Chico State students, we had the good fortune to experience very good beer at a relatively young age. In the late '90s, college students everywhere were consuming ridiculous amounts of Keystone Light (okay, maybe they still are), but in Chico we were exposed to something much better-Sierra Nevada and Butte Creek. And, equally as important, we could afford it. The local breweries provided affordable, quality alter­natives to the Budweiser and Coors of the world. These two breweries, pioneers in the craft­brewing world, made beer that was complex and interesting. They were making beer that wasn't watered down, and didn't rely on massive marketing to sell.

The beauty was it didn't have to be any more sophis­ticated than you wanted it to be. You could focus on the brewing methods and ingredients used, and appreciate all the characteristics they imparted; or you could simply raise a pint and cheer with your friends and know that however they made it, it was damn good.

We met two years ago, and almost imme­diately realized we both had a love of great beer. At the time, one of us worked for Sierra Nevada and the other for Peet's Coffee. What started out as a great friend­ship, trading coffee for beer, quickly turned

into a love affair on a multitude oflevels. By the time we had been together for six months, we were both working in the craft beer industry and visiting beer bars all over Northern California. We visited several breweries and still love to taste new beers as often as possible. As we go along this journey, we are constantly struck by how approachable beer is. You don't have

to know the original grav­ity of a beer to sit with friends while enjoy­ing it.

Craft brewers, as a whole, are extremely fun, engaging people. They talk about beer so of course they're awe­some. But the atmosphere of beer drinking has evolved worldwide. It's no longer limited to just backyard barbecues and Sunday football. The European brewing scene, which is far more mature, has influ­enced a cadre of domestic craft brewers.

What's even more impressive is American craft beer is exploding in Europe. Beer now has a place at not only the grownup table, but also the VIP table. Thanks to barrel aging, dry hopping, and collaborations among breweries, beer is actually as sophis­ticated as you want it to be.

The Michelin Embers are just about to release their debut album, a ten-song col­lection entitled Talapachie. The title is a reference to one of those fabled lands, a destination for the ne'er do wells and dream­ers, a paradisiacal hospice for those life has chased and battered, a haven for the weary and the worn-out. It's a place beyond the power of words to describe. Similarly the Michelin Embers are a band whose sound defies description. Their sound combines elements of traditional country with old

rockers, slow country weepers, and pensive blues. The album sounds great; on each song the presence of the individual instru­ments varies to match the mood-both a testimony to the quality of the players and the sensitivity of the engineer. The band recorded with Dale Price at Electric Canyon Studio.

These days there are a lot of different ways to go about paying for a recording. True to form, the Michelin Embers have taken a tra­

style rock and roll. They're a string band with no drums, but not a bluegrass outfit.

Slide player Hobie Givens coined

"They paid for the project up front, with the money the

band has earned giging all over the greater North State."

ditional route. They paid for the project up front, with the money the band has earned gig­ging all over the greater North State. The band assumed all the risks, and has delivered a wonder-

the term "Western Skiffie'' to portray the group's style, and it's probably as accurate as any other. The band is a four­piece string quartet. Along with Given's steel, Ken Swagger plucks and strums a uku­lele, Johnny Meehan (AKA Johnny Shanker) plays a traditional six-string guitar, and Steve Bragg pulls double duty, creating the bass lines while also lending the songs a distinctive, rhyth­mic thump on a homemade washtub bass affectionately referred to as the "gut-bucket:' Meehan also handles the bulk of the vocals on the album.

From this simple collection of instruments, the band manages to craft a set of songs that transport the listener through a range of different emotions. There are up-tempo

ful finished product. In true DIY form, the guys in the band screen printed the album artwork and hand-glued the sleeves.

This Saturday night, take yourself on a trip to the

fabled land of Talapachie by heading over to the Maltese Taproom to hear the band's live renditions of the songs. If you like what you hear, I'm sure they'll be willing to sell you a copy or three.

The Michelin Embers album release show is this upcoming Saturday, April 20th at the Maltese Taproom. The 21 + event starts at SPM, costs $3, and features support from local acts, Rancho Mars and Bunnymilk.

California Honeydrops April 8@ Sierra Nevada Big Room

The California Honeydrops held a rowdy singalong at the Sierra Nevada Big Room Monday night, to the great delight of a sold-out crowd of adoring fans. The lead vocalist, Lech Wierzynski, entreated the dancers to "Sing Along, Y 'all ," as they rolled out several new songs from their upcoming third album, Like You Mean It, dropping April 19th.

Half the sold-out audience were on their feet within the first song, "I liked It Better When It Was Wrong." The song showcased their New Orleans Jazz influence, and revealed more ofWierzynski's bad boy side as he extolled the thrill of " .... hiding out, sneaking out, making out ... " with a forbidden love, only to have the thrill disappear once they broke up with their respective mates and formed a partnership. Careful what you wish for.

The California Honeydrops, formed in 2007, got their start playing in BART stations in Oakland. Johnny Bones, the jazzy saxophone player, leads the vibrant rhythm section with his New Orleans influence firmly established. Chris Burns, a veteran Oakland piano player, set up the

infectious good vibes that propelled the crowd around the dance floor.

But the night belonged to Wierzynski as he held the swaying crowd in the palm of his hand during "Here Comes Love (Again)," the first song off their to-be-released album. Wierzynski-the band's trumpeter, lead singer, and lead guitarist-spread honey on the crowd with his bayou lilt. I'm still scratching my head at the dissonance of combining a young man born in Warsaw, Poland, with bluesy N 'awlins riffs and swaying Ray Charles-style vocals, punctuated by his amazing talent as a trumpeter.

The West Coast Tour continues through Portland and Seattle, ending at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, where the Honeydrops will reconnect with their blues roots.

The subject matter of their songs focused on "feeling love in your bones" and knowing when it's right or not. Judging by the avid, dancing attendees who mouthed all the words to every song, the California Honeydrops have secured a home in the honeypots of Chico.

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain April 11 @ Laxson Auditorium

It 's not what it sounds like. "Orchestra" makes you think of classical music or at least instrumental compositions. While there was a touch of that here and there, this octet of wily Brits was a magnificently outrageous cover band more so than an "orchestra." They've been playing together for over 27 years, which was evident in their chemistry as musicians as well as the chemistry of their personalities. At times, they resembled a comedy troupe which just happened to be made up of excellent uke players, who could harmonize as well or better than any group of eight should be expected to.

They "kicked" off the night with a lively rendition of "Hooray for Hollywood." I put quotes on "kicked" because they literally went into a synchronized chorus line of kicks to wrap up the tune. They introduced the next song by quipping that they'd recently played it at the university formerly known as Princeton. The highlight of that rendition was certainly the soprano solo that was self-echoed by impressive scatting. Following that, a version of an old Tiny Tim tune brought the audience to wide-eyed delight as the bass uke-player unleashed some unreal whistling ability.

To the pleasure of all, the Orchestra went well beyond old folk tunes and highbrow standards. They worked in R&B numbers such as "Roadrunner," contemporary tunes

from Adele ("Rollin in the Deep") and Blur ("Song #2"), and even David Byrne's "Psycho Killer," a James Bond theme, and David Bowie's "Life on Mars." The most outrageous of all, however, had to be their rendition of "Shaft," which eventually led

to a call-and­response involving several other words beginning with Sh-. For instance, "who are those furry creatures we see a lot of in New Zealand?"

was answered with a harmonized "Sheep." Just as there was no limit to the genres in their repertoire, so too was there no limit to the range of sounds produced on their little "bonsai guitars." Percussion solos, slides, and absolute shredding were only some of the tricks up their sleeves. At one point, each member simultaneously played his or her own uke while also playing their neighbor's-good thing they were all right­handed.

All in all, three soprano ukes, two conerts, one tenor, one baritone, and one bass were so in tune with each other, and just as in tune with the audience, that the engagement was constant, and the pleasant surprises seemingly endless. Bravo to Chico Performances for bringing this world­touring act to our little town. The event was as awesome as the girl who sat next to me.

Third Time's The Charm by Kenny "Squints" Kelly

It was brother against brother (or bartender against bar frequenter) last Wednesday, when the Syn­thesizers and Main St. Manglers (Duffy's Tavern crew) squared off on the diamond. The Manglers as­sured me that we would be "dan -gled, mangled, and bojangled;' but guess what? We fucking won! 6-5!

Like love, our first victory didn't come easy. The Manglers played like I play Civ V: hard, fast, and ruthless. Aubrey Debauchery ran

the bases like a fierce penguin, slid­ing on her belly. Jake Sprecher was smashing balls all over the field. Jeremy Gerrard would have made an unassisted out at second despite playing centerfield, but the ump blew the call.

After we rode to victory with the help of some key hits by Bethany Johnson and Paige Cloke, both teams rode over to La Salle's to catch (or perform with) The Rugs.

ARIES The grand finale and dose of your

season begins this week. If you need to get things done, now is

the time to move ahead with your

projects. Strike while the iron is hot

and let the wind fill your sails, for

they that hesitate are lost. Simplify

your goals and plans. Financial planning becomes more impor­

tant. Thursday through Saturday

are your best days for getting in

touch with what really matters

to you. Creativity is worth some­

thing in the long run. Change your

image.

TAURUS

GEMINI Having things good is not to be

taken for granted. Your knowl­edge is a gift, as well as your ability

to communicate. On Monday, we

begin the week with the moon in

Gemini. Be aware of who your

real friends are. You may need

to spend a little more time alone in the coming weeks. Begin to

pay attention to your dreams and

their meanings. The weekend is

good for being more intimate with

family. Help others that may feel

isolated

CANCER This week marks the changing of The pressures ofbeing in the public

the guard for you. This is where

karma meets intention and the unconscious begins to grapple

with consciousness. The good

news is waking up Monday morn­

ing with Venus in Taurus. You

become more relaxed Your pur­

suit of beauty gets easier. Friday afternoon at 3:03 PM the sun

enters Taurus and the world begins

to mellow out. Saturday morning

at 4:48 AM Mars goes into Taurus

enjoy personal strength.

eye and taking care of career busi­

ness will slowly begin to simmer down this week. You'll be moving

to a place where it is easier to make friends and to move towards hav­

ing a more fulfilling social life. The

moon will be in Cancer Monday

night through Wednesday. Your influence is strong and you may

end up getting what you want.

Over the weekend you'll be count­

ing your pennies to find a way of

funding your next adventure.

LEO Having to learn more is hum­

bling when you're a teacher. Love is a stronger motivation than fear.

Seek solutions to problems and then implement them. You're

about to move into a place where

creating beauty and art feels urgent

and important. The moon will be in Leo from Thursday morn­

ing through most of Saturday.

Perform with zeal and reckless

abandon. Be aware of the way

humility makes a more admirable leader. In short, be more like the

Dali Llama and less like Napoleon.

VIRGO The rougher edges that come with

doing things for other people and

having other people do things for you are about to calm down. Life

is about to become more of an

exotic adventure and less of an

obligation. You are about to ful­

fill a positive aspiration. You are

more open to learning how to be creative in a new way. The moon

enters Virgo at 6:08PM PDT on

Saturday. Saturday night and espe­

cially Sunday are power days for

you. Give and be given to.

LIBRA Partnership season isn't all bliss.

It's also a time of open enemies and confrontations. You discover

that who people think you are isn't

matching with who you think you

are. It's time to let go of a few things

and allow the transformation to

take over. You begin the week with good ideas as to where you need to be headed. By the weekend, you'll

be torn between socializing and

personal obligation. Take care of

business and dive right into the

hard stuff.

SCORPIO The period of hard work and

fighting to improve health issues is

about to come to a close. The time for you to be more of a lover and

less of a fighter has begun. You'll

be able to come off as powerful

and loving by the end of the week.

Continue to practice teamwork.

Making other people happy is fun and good for the soul. Be bigger

than your own desires. Potential

lovers seem to crawl out of the

woodwork. Be receptive to the

things others have to offer you.

SAGITTARIUS Fixing what is not broken is a

waste of time. Most people see their government as somewhat

inefficient, if not at times petty and

vindictive. Help others get their

priorities straight. Contribute a

positive team spirit at the work

place. Personal growth is hard and will require some effort. This

weekend looks great for doing

research and for travel. Giving is

winning. Health is your biggest

wealth. Infuse your environment

with a spirit of gratitude.

CAPRICORN Don't take on the problems of the

world alone. Rely on family or be

a more reliable family member. A shift happens and you'll find

yourself having more fun and

being in touch with matters of the

heart. You also get more creative

this week. Be more aware of what

you have to offer. Avoid hoard­ing things that you don't need. Be

ready to give more away. Smile

more often. Pay attention to chil­

dren more. You are the director to

the screenplay of your life.

AQUARIUS The time of rapid learning and

short trips turns towards the time you find a more fulfilling personal

life. Family issues involving elders

is more of a priority now. Being

with the kinds of people that nur­

ture your soul is also a part of this

equation. This could be a time when you're planning on moving

or are looking to buy property.

Your creative abilities continue to

grow. The weekend looks good for

romance and getting deeper with

others as well as yourself.

PISCES Financial worries begin to lessen

this week as money begins to

trickle in. Monday night though Wednesday you're challenged to

be more creative, more loving,

and more aware of your effect on

others. A good spiritual life begins

with being devoted to your elders

and loved ones in your family. Learn to be a better neighbor and

friend. A time of travel, personal

growth, and deeper learning has

begun. Enjoy working with your hands and doing the things you're

passionate about.
