Marijuana over martinis

(Re: “Heading into uncharted territory,” Weed Between the Lines, May 16.) The people of Colorado are way ahead of the politicians in Washington, D.C. The days when our federal government can get away with confusing the drug war’s collateral damage with a comparatively harmless plant are coming to an end. If the goal of marijuana prohibi-

the

Highroad Monsanto Frankenwheat crops up in Oregon by Jim Hightower

ob Dylan once sent a two-word lyric to Ben Harper, a talented songwriter he admired. “Well well,” was the lyric, and Dylan challenged Harper to make a song of it. He did! By adding another “well” to the title, Ben wrote “Well, well, well” — a stinging lament about America’s cleanwater well going dry, due to waste and greed. I thought of his song when I heard that a wheat farmer in Eastern

tion is to subsidize drug cartels, prohibition is a success. The drug war distorts supply and demand dynamics so that big money grows on little trees. If the goal is to deter use, marijuana prohibition is a failure. The United States has double the rate of marijuana use as the Netherlands, where marijuana is legal. The criminalization of Americans who prefer marijuana to martinis has no basis in science.

The war on marijuana consumers is a failed cultural inquisition, not an evidence-based public health campaign. If the Obama administration won’t lead reform efforts, they can at least stay out of the way. Not just in Colorado, but throughout the nation, it’s time to stop the arrests and tax legal marijuana. Robert Sharpe, Common Sense for Drug Policy/Washington, D.C.

Oregon had gotten an unpleasant surprise in May: Some of Monsanto’s unapproved, genetically manipulated wheat suddenly cropped up in his field. He had never planted any of these Frankenseeds, which have a foreign DNA spliced into them by Monsanto’s bio-tamperers. Field tests of the altered wheat were last done in Oregon in 2001, and the seeds never have been cleared for commercial use anywhere in the world. But there they are, sprouting like weeds. Well, well, well. Ever since Monsanto, backed by its political protectors, began messing with the very DNA of our food supply two decades ago, the company line was that it was all perfectly safe and under tight control. Farmers, however, warned that these corporate and political powers were a bunch of profiteering ignoramuses who knew nothing about such basic realities as pollen drift. Pollen from mutant plants can — and does —

move many hundreds of miles across state and national borders to contaminate the crops of unsuspecting farmers living far away. Ninety percent of the wheat grown by Oregon farmers is exported to Japan and other nations that do not let their consumers be lab rats for agribusiness hucksters. So the escape of Monsanto’s wheat into the wild endangers both wheat exports and the purity of organic corps — not to mention human health and our environment.

Really Bad Ideas The ghost of George Orwell Orwell George

Our government’s domestic spying has damaged the nation more than any terrorist attack ever could

by Joel dyer & dave Kirby

To ld yo u so!

by Joel Dyer

his is not an easy column to write in a calm voice or free of profanity, but I’ll give it my best shot. That said, please feel free to toss in all the mental expletives you want as you read along. I’m sure you’ll know just where to put them. As recently reported everywhere, the federal government has launched an overzealous and unprecedented invasion into all of our private lives, supposedly in an effort to keep us safe. So what does it mean for us now that the government is keeping tabs on every phone call, text and email we send or receive? If you just thought to yourself, “It makes me feel safer,” do America a favor and never vote again. Such thinking makes you as much the problem as the power-hungry, shortsighted idiots in Washington (apply the Mark Udall exception here) who have unilaterally taken it upon themselves to vanquish many of our most cherished civil liberties by way of secret courts and other cowardly means. Willingly giving up your constitutional freedoms in exchange for vague governmental promises of safety makes you neither free nor brave, just naïve and dangerously disconnected from the lessons of history. Unfortunately, this brand of governmental abuse isn’t new. It has previously reared its ugly head in many places where increasingly authoritarian governments have used public safety as a justification for restricting their own citizens’ freedoms. We’ve seen similar mass domestic surveillance in Russia, Germany and, of course, Joe McCarthy’s good ol’ U.S.A. Am I exaggerating the seriousness of the current situation? Not one bit. If all you do is go to work, cash your check and watch TV, then you probably won’t notice any significant difference in your life now that you are under constant government surveillance. But that’s not true for all of us, particularly those of us who occasionally voice our opinions or expose corruption within our government or its corporate keepers. Part of my job as a journalist is to be a watchdog over government, which 8 June 13, 2013

requires that I sometimes have to protect my sources, even if it means going to jail to do so. Now that the government has used an insanely broad reading of the equally insane Patriot Act to suspend my and everyone else’s right to privacy and Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure, it is going to be difficult and sometimes even impossible for me to protect my sources from a prying government that can track every call, text and email I originate or receive. This isn’t an academic exercise. I often report on things like environmental activism and domestic terrorism, areas in which protecting sources is sometimes absolutely critical to getting the story out. What would have happened to my past reporting on Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bombing and the antigovernment movement if today’s warrantless surveillance had been in place? Would I have been able to tell my stories? Would I have gone to jail for revealing secret government documents? During the seven years I reported on the antigovernment movement and domestic terrorism, I regularly revealed the contents of court-sealed FBI reports in publications such as U.S. News & World Report, Vanity Fair and my own book on the subject, Harvest of Rage. Much to the government’s frustration, I was also in regular contact with several antigovernment adherents wanted by federal and state authorities, including one Richard Keyes, who was on the 10-mostwanted list while I was reporting on his life on the lam for BW and Mother Jones. I like to think that my readers and even the government, who back then asked me to testify before a Senate subcommittee on terrorism as an expert, benefited from that reporting because it increased our understanding of people committed to antigovernment beliefs and the use of terrorism to make their point. As I mull the current situation, I don’t think I could write many of those stories today without my sources being put at risk of being identified, which, considering my sources, would put me and my family at risk. It’s also possible that in the current shoot-the-messenger atmosphere where going public with secret government documents can land you in jail (this

is also not new, just ask Daniel Ellsberg), it’s likely that writing those same stories today would put me behind bars. It’s a chilling reality that now confronts many journalists and their sources. I don’t feel safer today because the government is spying on every one of us, and neither should you. What kind of country are we living in when a supposed progressive (I use the term very loosely in this case) politician like Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chair of a Senate intelligence committee, says she wants Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old whistleblower who exposed the NSA’s mass surveillance tactics to the Guardian newspaper, to be extradited from Hong Kong and tried for treason. Treason, Ms. Feinstein, really? They can still execute people for treason. Feinstein apparently puts a high price on her personal embarrassment at being exposed as one of the principal political supporters behind our government’s current despicable surveillance practices. It appears she doesn’t understand that it is she and her constitutionally challenged peers who are the ones guilty of selling out the country, not Mr. Snowden. I know the argument. If you haven’t done anything wrong, then you have nothing to fear from the government rooting through your underwear drawer. The U.S. government can be trusted to collect all of your personal information and then never use it. Right. To believe that line of manure you’d have to have been either cryogenically frozen during the 1960s and ’70s or not born yet. Try telling all those Tea Party folks that just got a good lesson in government trust from the IRS not to worry about all their phone calls and emails being monitored by the government. Or if you’re so far to the left that you actually took joy at how the government abused its power with the Tea Party, try this one on for size: The ACLU’s Campaign to Stop Illegal Spying says

that 33 states are currently spying on drilling and fracking activists. That’s right, our government is now working overtime to keep an eye out for anyone who might cause a problem for its corporate pals and their profits. Are we really supposed to believe that they would never use or abuse the data they are collecting on us, as if the term national security couldn’t be stretched to cover our energy policies or the actions of the political adversaries of those in power? Like it or not, we’re all in this together. When the government abuses its power, it always reminds me of a story about sheep that famed attorney Gerry Spence is fond of telling whenever he finds himself representing a client that most people find unsavory. The quick version goes like this. Americans are a herd of sheep and our government is a wolf. Like any herd, our tendency is to push the sheep we don’t like out to the far edges of the herd so we don’t have to be bothered by them. When the wolf gets hungry, it slips down to the herd and kills and eats a few of those sheep we’ve pushed to the fringe. Most of the remaining sheep in the middle of the herd aren’t too bothered by this because they didn’t really like those Tea Party … I mean, those sheep on the outside of the herd anyway. But the problem is this: Eventually all the sheep we don’t like will be gone, but the wolf will still be hungry. We all lose when the government abuses its power over any individual or group, even those we don’t care for. Not only are many individuals and groups now being abused, there is little evidence that anything positive is being accomplished by the government’s monitoring of 300 million innocent people. All of this illegal government surveillance was in place when the Boston Marathon bombs went off. It didn’t help stop that see SURVEILLANCE Page 12

VISIT LOVELY NOCOLOR! We’d like to whole-heartedly endorse this proposal from Weld and other northeastern Colorado counties to secede from Colorado and create their own state. In fact, we have some very helpful advice on how they might market this new entity to encourage major employers to relocate there and boost tourism. First of all, North Colorado, or, as we’ll subsequently refer to it, NoColor, should tout its extremely low property values, which continue to fall thanks to all Jefferson Dodge of the oil and gas wells in residents’ backyards. But hey, industrial operations should feel right at home. Next, we think NoColor could attract tourists by offering tours of its slaughterhouses and meat-packing operations, complete with free breathing masks for every visitor. And no, don’t return them at the conclusion of the tour, you’ll need them for your next stop, the National Oil and Gas Museum, which will feature a room in which you can inhale genuine methane and other airborne contaminants caused by this energy extraction method. The museum will have a host of other exhibits, including an authentic unlined disposal pit filled with used fracking fluid for the kids to wade in, an interactive drilling game that challenges you to avoid hitting aquifers, and a time-lapse video that shows how concrete casing around pipes will crack and break over the years, allowing oil, gas and other unmentionables to seep up into groundwater. Finally, in the gift shop, you’ll be able to pick up Encana keychains, Fluffy the Fracker stuffed animals and handy maps showing the pin cushion of wells covering virtually all of NoColor. Won’t we be lucky to have such a great getaway just a short drive from Boulder County? Yes, we’re sure that instead of heading west to the mountains, scores of folks will head north and east instead, to breathe in all that NoColor has to offer. CREEK CLEANING So, this week our sage leaders on the Boulder City Council began reviewing ambitious long-term plans for the “civic area,” the section of downtown between Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe between Ninth and 17th streets. Yes, there was much talk about building a performing arts center and creating an expanded and covered year-round farmers’ market. (Of course, the timing of all this depends in no small part on the extent to which the city chooses to clean up the contamination from the former gasification plant at the Dushanbe Teahouse property.) And then, amidst all of this grandiose dreaming, came the report from city staff that, first things first, there are some issues that need to be, um, cleaned up in the short term. Yes, before we can provide more play areas for wealthy Boulderites, we need to do something about all of those undesirables who hang out in that area. Among the steps that city staff want to take in the next year or two, with the $300,000 in pocket change the city currently has at its disposal, is to increase enforcement of illegal behavior in the area around City Park. Read: Go after the homeless. Again. As if it weren’t enough that our transient community has been targeted through a punitive camping ordinance that deprives them of the basic human right of sleep, and through a public parks closure that subjects them to fines for daring to use taxpayer-funded land in the wee hours, now the city wants to increase its law enforcement in the area. You gotta love Boulder. We like to talk the talk about being progressive, but when it comes to walking the walk, we can’t let those unsightly homeless people down by the creek upset our good time — or be reminded that in the real world, not everyone can afford $4 lattes and shiny SUVs.

It didn’t stop the racist shootings at the Sikh Temple or any of the mindless slaughters, from Aurora to Sandy Hook.

I would just like to go on the record as saying that what this government is doing to the people of this country by spying on all of us without probable cause or legal authority is far more destructive to our nation than any terrorist attack. When the trade center towers fell, we were heartbroken and angry, but we were not diminished in any way as a people. But what our government is doing today with its secret courts and mass surveillance of all U.S. citizens without cause or authority or any moral justification has diminished this nation in profound and possibly irreparable ways. We are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we let this stand we are no more than scared sheep who have traded our freedom to the wolf in exchange for his promise to keep us safe. We forget that the wolf gets hungry. How much more of my freedom should I let this misguided government steal from me in the name of Osama bin Laden? The answer is “no more.” I can only hope that come the next election cycle, we will all say “no more” and take back those freedoms that have been so wrongly taken from us.

with no chance of going anywhere. But before locking in on that conclusion, it might be worth waiting to know how the folks in El Paso County, home of Colorado Springs, Colorado’s secondlargest city, feel about it. Colorado Springs is about as big as Denver, but its vision and morals are much more in keeping with those of rural eastern Colorado than those of metro Denver. Consider the possibility of a new state consisting of Colorado’s eastern counties (northeast and southeast) with Colorado Springs as its capital, with an ongoing oil and gas boom pouring billions of dollars a year into its economy, and with oil and gas taxes paying the bills. In other words, a state that looked a lot like North Dakota, which currently has the lowest unemployment and soundest finances in the country. Still laughing? The more interesting question is how would the Colorado legislature and the people of Colorado come down if they actually had to vote on the secession proposal. I had to deal with a similar question when I was on the county commission in 1998, and the answer isn’t obvious. The city of Broomfield, which was partly in Boulder County and partly in

Adams, Jefferson and Weld Counties, wanted to secede from all four and turn itself into its own county. My initial gut reaction to the idea was hostile, but on reflection I changed my mind, because a) the loss of 10 percent or 15 percent of our tax revenue was balanced by the loss of 10 percent or 15 percent of our Republicans, ensuring a Democratic lock on county government (I was a Democrat back then), b) Boulder and the other counties got language inserted into the constitutional amendment creating the City and County of Broomfield that sharply limited its ability to annex into adjacent counties, and most important, c) at the end of the day it seemed a profoundly bad idea to force people to stay who didn’t want to. The last point was really the decisive one. I suspect a lot of Coloradans would come to similar conclusions if some or all of Colorado’s northern and eastern counties wanted to form their own state. Colorado, like America itself, is a union of consenting adults; if some of them withdraw their consent and start their own state, I suspect their wishes will receive a decent, if grudging, respect.

The NSA black hole Five things we still don’t know about the agency’s snooping by Justin Elliott and Theodoric Meyer

ast week saw revelations that the FBI and the National Security Agency have been collecting Americans’ phone records en masse and that the agencies have access to data from nine tech companies. But secrecy around the programs — called PRISM or Prism — has meant even basic questions are still unanswered. Here’s what we still don’t know: Has the NSA been collecting all Americans’ phone records, and for how long? It’s not entirely clear. The Guardian published a court order that directed a Verizon subsidiary to turn over phone metadata — the time and duration of calls, as well as phone numbers and location data — to the NSA “on an ongoing daily basis” for a three-month period. Citing unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal reported that the program also covers AT&T and Sprint and that it covers the majority of Americans. And Director of National Intelligence James Clapper himself acknowledged that the “collection” is “broad in scope.” How long has the dragnet existed? At least seven years, and maybe going back to 2001. Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and vice chair Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said last week that the NSA has been collecting the records going back to 2006. That’s the same year that USA Today revealed a similar-sounding mass collection of metadata, which the paper said had been taking place since 2001. The relationship between the program we got a glimpse of in the Verizon order and the one revealed by USA Today in 2006 is still not clear: USA Today described a program not authorized by warrants. The program detailed last week does have court

approval. What surveillance powers does the government believe it has under the Patriot Act? That’s classified. The Verizon court order relies on Section 215 of the Patriot Act. That provision allows the FBI to ask the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a secret order requiring companies, like Verizon, to produce records — “any tangible things” — as part of a “foreign intelligence” or terrorism investigation. As with any law, exactly what the wording means is a matter for courts to decide. But the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s interpretation of Section 215 is secret. As Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman recently wrote, the details of that interpretation matter a lot: “Read narrowly, this language might require that information requested be shown to be important or necessary to the investigation. Read widely, it would include essentially anything even slightly relevant — which is to say, everything.” In the case of the Verizon order — signed by a judge who sits on the secret court and requiring the company to hand over “all call detail records” — it appears that the court is allowing a broad interpretation of the Patriot Act. But we still don’t know the specifics. Has the NSA’s massive collection of metadata thwarted any terrorist attacks? It depends which senator you ask. And evidence that would help settle the matter is, yes, classified. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., told CNN on Sunday, “It’s unclear to me that we’ve developed any intelligence through the metadata program that’s led to the disruption of plots that we could [not] have developed through other data and other intelligence.”

judge has granted a motion dismissing a claim in the Colorado Oil and Gas Association’s lawsuit against the city of Longmont over its ban on fracking, or hydraulic fracturing. The claim that both sides agreed to have dismissed deals with “takings,” or whether the city’s ban impermissibly takes private property (oil and gas resources) from a property owner (the owner of the mineral rights). The association’s claim challenging the legality of the ban remains active. The dismissal, signed by District Court Judge D.D. Mallard on June 5, was hailed by city of Longmont’s officials as a substantial victory. “It’s significant for the city in that it

He said he could not elaborate on his case “without further declassification.” Sen. Feinstein told ABC that the collection of phone records described in the Verizon order had been “used” in the case of would-be New York subway bomber Najibullah Zazi. Later in the interview, Feinstein said she couldn’t disclose more because the information is classified. (It’s worth noting that there’s also evidence that old-fashioned police work helped solve the Zazi case — and that other reports suggest the Prism program, not the phone records, helped solve the case.) How much information, and from whom, is the government sweeping up through Prism? It’s not clear. Intelligence director Clapper said in his declassified description that the government can’t get information using Prism unless there is an “appropriate, and documented, foreign intelligence purpose for the acquisition (such as for the prevention of terrorism, hostile cyber activities, or nuclear proliferation) and the foreign target is reasonably believed to be outside the United States.” One thing we don’t know is how the government determines who is a “foreign target.” The Washington Post reported that NSA analysts use “search terms” to try to achieve “51 percent confidence” in a target’s “foreignness.” How do they do that? Unclear. We’ve also never seen a court order related to Prism — they are secret — so we don’t know how broad they are. The Post reported that the court orders can be sweeping, and apply for up to a year. Though Google See NSA Page 16

will likely save the city a lot of legal costs in the near future,” spokesperson Rigo Leal told Boulder Weekly. “We certainly attach some significance to it.” He said he did not know why the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) backed away from that claim and agreed to have it dismissed. Gov. John Hickenlooper has repeatedly used the “takings” argument as one of the primary motivations behind the state’s own lawsuit against Longmont over the fracking ban, saying it unfairly deprives leaseholders and mineral owners from accessing their resources. COGA attorney Ken Wonstolen, senior counsel with Beatty & Wozniak, downplayed the significance of the dismissal, saying that the oil

and gas trade association just wanted to simplify the case. In addition, he says, it was unclear whether an entity other than a property owner whose property was being threatened has a right to bring such a claim. In other words, since COGA doesn’t actually own any mineral rights itself, it may not have standing to challenge the taking of those resources. “The ability of a trade association to prosecute a takings claim on behalf of its members is not as clear in the law as the ability of a trade association simply to attack the ordinance as being invalid,” he told BW. “There is conflicting precedent on that issue, and we decided it didn’t make sense to See LONGMONT Page 16

Lafayette activists petition for fracking ban

news

by Jefferson Dodge

nti-fracking activists in Lafayette have launched a petition drive for a ballot measure that would enact a ban on hydraulic fracturing and other oil/gas extraction methods within city limits. The proposed city charter amendment, which would appear on the ballot in November, can be read in its entirety at www.eastbocounited.org, the website of East Boulder County United, one of several anti-fracking groups that has popped up around the county. The amendment establishes a “Community Bill of Rights and Obligations” as law that can be enforced against private and public entities. Among the rights listed in the bill are the right to community self-government by the people, to clean water and air, to

be free from “chemical trespass,” to “peaceful enjoyment of home,” to ecosystems and to a sustainable energy future. To secure those rights, the bill lays out rules related to the prohibition of oil and gas extraction within city limits (with the exception of existing active and producing wells). Those include: • A prohibition against corporations depositing, storing or transporting oil/ gas wastewater, chemicals or byproducts “within, upon or through the land, air or waters of the city of Lafayette”; • A prohibition against the installation of any oil/gas infrastructure like pipelines, storage areas and processing facilities; • A prohibition against extracting any water within city limits for oil/gas extraction;

• A statement holding people and corporations engaging in oil/gas extraction activities outside city limits liable for “all harms caused to natural water sources, ecosystems, people and human communities;” and • A statement keeping corporations found guilty of extracting oil and gas within the city limits from using “personhood” rights or the commerce and contracts clauses in the U.S. and state constitutions to protect themselves. East Boulder County United held a kickoff meeting to begin collecting signatures on June 11. Organizer Merrily Mazza told BW that the group needs to gather about 950 signatures to have the measure placed on the ballot, but activists are aiming to collect 2,000.

Lack of profits may force RMPJC thrift store to close by Jefferson Dodge

ockin’ Betty’s, the thrift store opened by the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center last October, will have to shut its doors at the end of June if it doesn’t turn a profit this month. The store, located near Lucky’s Market at North Broadway and Quince Avenue, was named for RMPJC coadministrator Betty Ball and was intended to generate money to help support the center.

But Ball says the opposite has been true, and while the store is close to breaking even, the RMPJC can no longer afford to subsidize it, especially since donations to the center are down by $20,000 compared to this time last year. Ball and fellow staffer Carolyn Bninski have agreed to work without pay. “We’ll be able to squeak by if we don’t have the store and we’re not paying rent on this space and not paying our salaries,” Ball says. “It’s got to demonstrate that it’s

contributing to the Peace Center.” The store is having a “Keep Rockin’ Betty’s in Business Sale” this month, inviting patrons to fill a store bag with as many items as they want for only $10. Kids can fill a bag for $6. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the weekends.

takings issues go away. If it survives, some other company can bring it, but there was no reason to have an argument about whether COGA could prosecute that claim.” He adds that it is common to include all possible claims when filing a complaint, because there is limited ability to amend the claim down the line. “So you put everything but the

kitchen sink in there when you file the complaint, and as things work out, you may decide to streamline the case, and that’s what both sides did here,” Wonstolen says. Both the state’s lawsuit and the COGA case are still in the initial pleading stage, and no dates have been set yet for trial. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

role of the tech companies is still murky. Relying on a leaked PowerPoint presentation, the Washington Post orginally described Prism as an FBI and NSA program to tap “directly into the central servers” of nine tech companies, including Google and Facebook. Some of the companies denied giving the government “direct access” to their servers. In a later story, published Saturday, the newspaper cited unnamed intelligence sources say-

ing that the description from the PowerPoint was technically inaccurate. The Post quotes a classified NSA report saying that Prism allows “collection managers [to send] content tasking instructions directly to equipment installed at company-controlled locations,” not the company servers themselves. So what does any of that mean? We don’t know. —ProPublica

engage in skirmishing about standing, as opposed to just getting to the basic question here of can Longmont have a ban on hydraulic fracturing.” When told that city officials see the dismissal as significant, Wonstolen replies, “I disagree with that. It’s peripheral to our main claim, which is that it’s illegal for Longmont to ban hydraulic fracking. If [the ban] goes away, then NSA from Page 15

has maintained it has not “received blanket orders of the kind being discussed in the media.” So, how does Prism work? In his statement Saturday, Clapper described Prism as a computer system that allows the government to collect “foreign intelligence information from electronic communication service providers under court supervision.” That much seems clear.

boulderganic Therapy and better eating

YMCA of Boulder Valley and Growing Gardens offer seniors organic gardening classes by Ainslee Mac Naughton

Courtesy of YMCA of Boulder Valley

oulder-area seniors are soon gaining another way to get involved with the community, eat better and improve their quality of life: taking organic gardening classes. The YMCA of Boulder Valley and Growing Gardens have partnered to create a new sixweek series of organic gardening classes for seniors. “Personally, I find gardening to be very therapeutic,” says Jaime Redick, associate program director of teen programs at the YMCA. “It’s that whole growing

tries to raise awareness about growing food and organic gardening techniques. “Food, healthy produce and healthy living is one of their goals that [the YMCA’s] working on, so it was a natural fit for us to come in and help start some gardens at their Arapahoe Center and offer programs at their site and our site,” Sweeney says. “This [series] is a first step, because it fills a need that both of us are hoping to meet.” The series will be a part of Courtesy of YMCA of Boulder Valley Growing Gardens’ horticultural therapy program, which serves seniors and people with disabilities. Seniors will attend six educational classes where they will tend to and eventually harvest the produce in the gardens while learning about different gardening techniques and their background. Each class in the six-week series will have a specific educational theme, such as organic pest control techniques, the importance of pollinators in gardens, water conservation and soil fertility.

ROAD-TRIPPING TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR WILD LANDS

Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune is roadtripping through Colorado this week to launch the Our Wild America campaign, designed to draw increased attention to America’s wild places in need of protection. Brune’s twoweek tour will include stops in Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico before he arrives in Washington, D.C., on June 26 for Great Outdoors America Week. In Colorado, Brune, who will bring his family along for the trip, will be visiting Browns Canyon, near Salida, on June 13 and the new national monument Chimney Rock June 17. “Now is the time to intensify our traditional land conservation work,” Brune said, according to a press release from the Sierra Club. “Pollution, mining, drilling and fracking are encroaching on some of our last remaining wild wonders, and our society is becoming increasingly disconnected from nature at a time when climate disruption is making it more important than ever to be expanding our conservation legacy.” The Sierra Club argues that

Groundwork Denver and Budweiser’s America Made Better campaign are teaming up for a day-long river cleanup at Commons Park on the South Platte River in Denver from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. Volunteers will be picking up trash, removing invasive species, mulching and removing graffiti. The watershed cleanup project is one of several Budweiser Made Better is hosting this summer in cities around the country.

GARDENS from Page 19

The gardens are in raised beds made for school gardens from the Kitchen Community, a local nonprofit aimed at connecting children with their food, to allow easy accessibility for the seniors. Everything in the gardens will be edible, including the flowers. The seniors can take home the produce they grow or prepare different recipes with it as part of the class. During the last ses-

20 June 13, 2013

sion, the seniors will have a potluck celebration, using the food they grew. Redick says she hopes the YMCA will later expand the organic gardening programming beyond seniors classes, involving more of the community in the series. “Eventually, we don’t want it to be just seniors classes,” Redick says. “We want everybody to interact with the garden.”

Staff at the organizations are currently discussing teen organic gardening programming for the fall. After-school classes at the YMCA are free for high school students, and a gardening program aimed at teens could expand awareness about organic gardening as well as Growing Gardens. The two gardening sessions will start in mid-June. The first begins at 9

a.m. June 17 and will take place every Monday for six weeks at YMCA of Boulder Valley’s Arapahoe Center, 2800 Dagny Way in Lafayette. The second begins 9 a.m. June 18 and will take place every Tuesday for six weeks at Growing Gardens, 1630 Hawthorne Ave. The sessions cost $60 for Y members and $80 for non-members.

desperate writers was high. Or, to put it into perspective, imagine having to work twice as hard at your profession and taking a 65 percent pay cut. I was making a decent living with freelance work (in itself an accomplishment) but I saw the writing on the wall in the form of dwinJames Dzienzynski, dling bank accounts right, and a hiking and increased antaccompanion id consumption. When I landed the cube job, I was grateful to be out of the competitive fray for a bit. I felt sheltered from the posturing and bargaining that had become the norm in the writing world. In my gainfully employed sanctuary, I could ride out the storm until the world realized that solid, well-written content is indeed a skill and the demand for it would even out the market. I was off the hook and could easily settle into the fertile soil of the American Dream. The only thing standing between the complete merger of myself and corporate bliss was a persistent internal hourglass. You know the one. It measures and evaluates the roles we assume in life. We flip it over and begin the countdown with every new scenario: first dates, bad movies, at the DMV and of course, at work. When the sands run out, the audition is over. We must go all in or opt out. We must become our new selves or abort. Penalties may apply. Mildly creative people like myself have a preordained, limited tolerance for controlled environments. (For the record, really creative people seem to thrive

no matter where you put them. They could find joy in scraping the gum off a bus station floor, those adaptable bastards.) Had I a different vision for my life, one would say I had arrived. Yet, a nagging and restless sentiment voiced by a vaguely familiar provocateur was as persistent as a well-dressed devil on my shoulder. This rascally agent would smite my joy at a wellexecuted Excel spreadsheet, mock my enthusiasm for being a team player and downright ridicule my declaration that hitting some unfairly imposed deadline would be “no problem.” No matter how much Internet traffic was coerced to our website, no matter how robust our sales numbers were, I could never fully buy into those achievements with the same satisfaction I had in other things, like climbing a mountain, teaching my dog to snag a frisbee mid-air or even flawlessly wrapping a burrito. I’d rate the satisfaction in my job on par with getting a birthday card from your car dealership. Nice, but impersonal. When I decided to walk away from the job a year and a half ago, I mentioned to my boss that I may

potentially be leaving the company. I explained my plan of phasing out my duties over a four month period. He did me one better and gave me four hours to get the phase out, and so I did. The reactions of my departure were reflections of the strange zeitgeist of a post-9/11 America. The most stinging came from those who accused me of downright arrogance and privilege. Who was I to leave a great job when so many people couldn’t find work? At first their shame hit a deep chord. I was completely spent. Though I was more proficient and skilled than ever at my position, it was of little use to me (or the company) to put on a facade of enthusiasm. I was angry at the criticism because it implied I was averse to hard work and it completely discounted my ongoing writing career, which served as a frayed but intact safety net. I had not abandoned writing while in the safe confines of the cube, but I had scaled it back. Now it was time to shift the backup to the primary, which really had been the plan all along (until the market collapsed). While I understood the rational critique of leaving a good job, I’ve always been involuntarily aligned with those dreamers who have tasted just enough of a better world to be foolish enough to pursue it. I heard the echoes of Salman Rushdie in my head: “After my first successful book see CUBICLE Page 24

came out I had seven good years follow, which is seven more than is afforded to most writers.” It felt like I had been lured into a cult of idealistic weirdos, the kind of people who would trade in the car they just won for whatever was in the mystery box. On paper, no pun intended, there is a romantic side to risk-takers. We love stories of the weary executive who rips off his metaphorical noose, throws his tie in the trash and decides to find himself in the wilderness. Or the self-indulgent woman who counters a series of bad choices by (you guessed it) finding herself in the wilderness. My problem is I wasn’t really lost and I had never left the wilderness. Writing and the outdoors were so intimately connected in my life, it would have been a farce to claim that some better, profound part of myself was waiting to be discovered there. I was fine in the wilderness; my trouble came from the front country. Yet it is a beautiful risk. I love writing, not just for my own consolation

but for the connection. Words can be devastatingly handsome, fiercely athletic and invigoratingly inspiring. When I flipped the hourglass on this latest endeavor, I was pleased to find a healthy reserve of time waiting. I hope to render the hourglass useless in the long run because, despite all the naysayers, occasionally people do find a way to drag their dreams into existence. The only thing I really knew was that mine had no chance of flourishing in a cube.

The terrain here is rugged, and while some of the easier-accessed trailheads (like those around Frisco and in East Vail) see plenty of folks, most of the Gore remains wild and empty.

Upper Colorado River

Bike Beaver Creek

Family-friendly camping, river rafting and yes, live music are available between Vail and Steamboat on this hip and happening section of the Colorado River. While the legendary State Bridge Lodge was a victim of arson a few years ago, this western outpost isn’t out for the count, hosting live outdoor concerts on a revamped stage. With plentiful camping and the cool charms of the Colorado, which has fishing and family-friendly rapids suitable for the whole gang, the Upper Colorado is car camping at its best. Even better, the rustic cabins at State Bridge escaped the blaze, so you don’t have to camp if you don’t want to.

Yes, it’s ritzy. But Beaver Creek is more than just a playground for the rich. In fact, the rich likely don’t ride their mountain bikes as much as you do, and in the summer this upscale ski resort has lodging deals galore, including luxury accommodations that go for a fraction of their winter rates. Throw into the mix a surprisingly varied mountain bike trail system, and the option to explore additional trails at nearby Eagle and Minturn, and you’ve got the summer’s most unlikely destination: a yin vs. yang experience that combines mud with high-thread-count sheets.

The evolution of Dan Savage

Columnist’s libertine philosophies have morphed him into America’s sex guru

by David Accomazzo

t’s a funny story, how the wiseass gay theater kid at the video store became America’s most trusted and outspoken sex advocate. Through his sex column, “Savage Love,” Dan Savage has become one of the highest-profile gay figures in the country, a tireless and fearless advocate of a liberalized philosophy on sex and relationships. People think of different sexualities as opposing baseball teams; Savage has been coaching all sides for 22 years now. He’s crass, unapologetic, fearless and wise. He’s what Dr. Ruth would have been had she grown up watching Internet porn. Savage’s writing career began in Madison, Wis., in 1991. He was working at a video store and became friends with Tim Keck, co-founder of The Onion. Keck told Savage he was starting a newspaper in Seattle — the alternative weekly already there, Seattle Weekly, wasn’t alternative enough. Savage suggested on a whim that Keck include a sex advice column. The rest is history. Savage Love contin-

Savage started his career unabashedly gay — until 1999, every letter began with the opener “Hey Faggot,” in an attempt to reclaim the word — and the concept was “to treat straight sex with the same revulsion that straight advice columnists had always had for gay sex,” Savage told journalist Mark Oppenheimer, who wrote an e-book declaring Savage “the first gay celebrity.” However, this gag was short-lived, since as the column’s popularity grew and grew, it wasn’t just gay people who were writing him letters. Straight people began pouring their hearts out to him too, asking questions not just about the vagaries of butt sex and BDSM but about heart wrenching relationship problems as well. “When I started writing it, there was no Internet, there was no Google. A lot of the questions I would get, would be, ‘I’ve heard that see SAVAGE Page 30

SAVAGE from Page 29

there’s this thing called a butt plug. What the hell is that?’” Savage tells Boulder Weekly. “And butt plugs literally have a Wiki page now. So, I don’t have to explain to people how a butt plug works.” Instead, he gets what he classifies as “situational ethics and relationship conflicts,” and what he dishes out these days is as much relationship counseling and sex therapy as it is sex advice. It’s a trend in his career — there’s something about the wisdom he espouses that appeals to a larger audience than he initially intends. His column is now a paragon of sex-positivity for all genders and sexual orientations on a national level. The It Gets Better campaign he started with his partner of 18 years, Terry Miller, aimed to help bullied gay youth but quickly snowballed to include bullying victims of all sexual orientations. (The campaign did try to refocus the message back on queer kids.) What makes his appeal so universal? Perhaps it’s because the type of sexuality he proposes to straight people is more libertine than that which many straight people are told to practice. He believes monogamy in long-term relationships is difficult to the point of being unrealistic, so he often preaches the value of open relationships and the less-promiscuous “monogamish” ones, a term Savage coined a few years ago. In fact, as Savage has been pointing out recently in interviews, the lifestyle he preaches for straight people is essentially the one gay men have lived for years, the one condemned by Jerry Falwell and his ilk in the late ’70s and early ’80s as the “gay lifestyle.” “[Straight people] renamed everything,” Savage recently told an audience at the New York Public Library. “Gay people had ‘tricks’; you people have ‘hookups.’ Gay people had ‘fuckbuddies’; you guys have ‘friends with benefits.’ The whole moving to the city, living in an urban area, having an apartment, fucking a lot of people, dating around, and then settling down in your 30s. That period of straight life — post-college, pre-marriage — that … is the gay lifestyle. … And that’s how straight people now live. We are all faggots now in our 20s.” Despite the unrestrained mouth, Savage is also a throwback in many ways, the rare newspaper editor and columnist who managed to achieve a level of national fame and celebrity. His lifestyle these days — a stable marriage with a kid — is, somewhat counter-intuitively, rather traditional, as Oppenheimer points out. For all his popularity, Savage is not without critics. He has been accused of 30 June 13, 2013

bigotry towards transsexuals, bisexuals and women; his staunch backing of the need for gay marriage in the ’90s, when the gay community hadn’t reached a consensus on the need for it, led some gay people to brand him with a scarlet “C” for conservative. Even now, there seems to be some disagreement in the GLBT community as to whether Savage is a good representative for the cause. That criticism, says Jerry Portwood, executive editor of Out magazine, seems to come from the lesser-seen, more conservative wing of the gay community. “For example, when I’ve posted things or written about things or put things on social media about Dan, often you have straight women defending him and Terry, and often it’s the gay men who are the ones that are more negative and that are attacking them,” Portwood says. “I find interesting that he has this very strong base of straight women who are willing to stand up for him.” Savage has never shied away from controversy, and he’s never let a fear of consequences stop him from speaking his mind. After Sen. Rick Santorum made remarks comparing homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality, Savage ran a letter in his column calling for a contest to redefine the Pennsylvania senator’s last name into a sex act of some sort. The winning definition, “The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex,” morphed into a huge “Google problem” headache for Santorum during his failed presidential run in 2012. That same year, a group of gay conservatives called GOProud endorsed Mitt Romney for president. Savage tweeted a link to the story with the words, “The GOP’s house faggots grab their ankles right on cue ... pathetic.” In April, speaking in front of a gathering of high school journalists, he criticized anti-gay Christians for selectively quoting the Bible. When several students stormed out, Savage remarked, “It’s funny to someone who is on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-ass people react when you push back.” Savage later apologized for using the term “pansy-ass” but stood by his comments about the Bible. But that’s Savage in a nutshell. Perhaps it’s his bravery, his willingness to stick to his guns in a funny yet deathly serious way, that makes him so universally appealing. Savage was editor of Stranger from 2001 to 2007 before becoming the editorial director, a position he describes as “the queen of England. I’m a consultant and I give advice, which is frequently ignored.” He continues to write his column, which he expanded into a very

popular podcast in 2006. He is the author of six books, the most recent of which, American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics, came out May 28. Boulder Weekly talked to Savage about his sexual philosophies, his experience as a gay man in the middle of the AIDS epidemic, and how his column (which can be found at the back of Boulder Weekly) has changed during the past 22 years. Boulder Weekly: How would you describe your column to a stranger? Dan Savage: I’ve always described the column as a conversation I’m having at a bar with my friends about sex after we’ve had a few drinks. And people are being sometimes funny, sometimes maudlin, but using the language they actually use when they talk about sex with their friends ... or when they’re not drunk. My column is a sex advice column for drunks who are being honest. I thought I might get your opinions on certain subjects that people might find out of the mainstream. For instance, what’s your take on monogamy? Ah, I knew you would go there first, just to piss people off. I’m for monogamy if that’s what a couple wants and that’s what makes a couple happy. I’m for a more realistic attitude towards infidelity and adultery, which is, over the multi-decade course of a truly long-term relationship, is likely to touch each and every one. I also think that open relationships work, and monagamish relationships work, which is how I describe mine. People who are in non-monogamous relationships don’t run around saying that people who are monogamous aren’t really in love and aren’t really committed, but often you hear people who are in monogamous relationships saying that people who are in open relationships are not really in love, are not really committed, because they couldn’t do that if they were really in love or if they were really committed. And I think that’s often the monogamy folks projecting their insecurities around infidelity and cheating onto the non-monogamous. It’s not the nonmonogamous who are prescriptive. And the way we talk about monogamy is a problem. People are told growing up that one day they will fall in love and they will make a monogamous commitment, which will be relatively super-easy, because when you’re in love that means you don’t want to have sex with anyone else but that person. The actual fact, with experience plus also a mountain of research and data, shows that if you make a monogamous commitment, you will still want to fuck other people. You will. (Laughs) In a monogamous com-

mitment, what you’re saying to your partner is that “I will refrain from fucking other people. I will still want to.” That actually makes that commitment more meaningful. If monogamy was easy, and people didn’t want to fuck other people when they were in love with someone, then we wouldn’t have to make a commitment not to do that. What’s the difference between monogamish relationships and open relationships? You know, it’s difficult when you talk about monogamy and not-monogamy. When you talk about monogamy, that’s one thing, and it’s identical. Everybody who is monogamous is doing the exact same thing: two people who are not fucking anybody else except each other. Open relationships come in so many different flavors. There can be as many different types of agreements and allowances for outside contact as there are open relationships. You may meet someone who says, “I’m in an open relationship,” and what they mean is that “my partner and I rarely and occasionally might have a three-way, once a year. Maybe.” Then you meet people in open relationships who have sex with two or three or four or five or 10 other people every week, who are just out there whoring it up. Terry and I are gay men — cat outta the bag there, right? When I would say that we are not monogamous, people would presume, because we’re gay men, a degree of promiscuity that made both of us really uncomfortable. Because we are not that promiscuous. But even other gay people would think, “They’re a gay couple, they’re not monogamous, they must be fucking a million people.” And we are so much more monogamous than not. Ninety-nine percent of the time if Terry or I are having sex, it’s Terry and I having sex with each other. To say “not monogamous” when there are these stereotypes about gay men and gay men have so much access to so many willing sex partners — because men are pigs, not just gay men, all men — made us uncomfortable. We’re much more monogamous than not. I was saying that for a long time, and one time I said we’re “monogamish,” which is monogamous with a little squish around the edges. I’ve had gay men tell me that they think straight people have a very oldfashioned view of relationships and love, for that reason. Well, you look at the data, and gay male couples are the least likely to be monogamous. Straight couples and lesbian couples are the most likely to be monogamous. Which tells me the problem with monogamy is not gay men, it’s see SAVAGE Page 32

men, period. If you want to make marriage safe for monogamy, you need to ban marriage that involves men at all. Only lesbians should be allowed to marry, if monogamy is what marriage is defined by. Do you get letters after 22 years that even make you cringe? Or are you totally jaded to anything anyone could ever write you? I’m pretty jaded. Sometimes I’m shocked how stupid people can be. The letters that break my heart are the people who are 25 or 30 and say “I’ve been reading you for 15 years; I’ve been reading you since I was 14 or 15 years old, and here’s what I did.” And I think, oh my God, you read me, but you didn’t pay attention? Nothing stuck? I’m just sometimes shocked that someone could read me for 15 years and make the same sort of junior varsity mistakes that I would think that 15 years of reading my column would inoculate you to that sort of shit, but apparently not. One of your more famous concepts is “GGG.” Could you give a quick definition of what that means? Good, giving and game. Good in bed — you have to work on those skills. A human being is way more complicated than a violin. No one expects to be able to play a violin the first time they pick it up, but everyone thinks they should be really good at this sex shit the first time they give it a bang. Giving, which is that you sometimes give pleasure without an expectation of an immediate return on that. Which is sometimes hard for people to wrap their heads around. You don’t want to be with someone who takes and takes and never reciprocates. But sometimes, you know, you do for your partner. Your partner is horny and you’re not, you help them get off, or you only have time for a quickie and you didn’t get to come, and that’s fine. You can give without and expectation of immediate return. And game. Up for anything within reason. That you should do for partner, you should go there, you should want to be the person who makes their dreams and their fantasies a reality, not the impediment, not the block. There’s a really stupid thing we are told about sex, which is that you should never do anything that you don’t want to do. But some people define that so broadly, “don’t want to do,” some people define that as that you should never do anything that doesn’t turn you on, that isn’t something you want to do, that wasn’t something you were fantasizing about. The problem with that in a longterm relationship is that you picture a Venn Diagram. If two people only have

20 percent overlap, there is going to be all this other shit that neither of them gets to do that leaves both of them feeling more sexually unfulfilled in that relationship than fulfilled, and that’s a recipe for the collapse of that relationship. You’ve written the death warrant for that relationship if that’s your approach. Your partner wants to try X, and you’re like, “Well, I’ve never had any interest in X, so we’re not doing X.” And you’re like, “OK, I guess I don’t ever get to experience this thing that I’ve fantasized about all my life with my sex partner, because they don’t want to do it, and they’re not willing to go there with me or for me.” And I think that destroys relationships, specifically sexually exclusive relationships. If you want a monogamous commitment, you’ve got to be whores for each other. You are saying, “I am solely responsible for this person’s sexual fulfillment.” You’ve got to honor that responsibility and live up to it. You can’t say, “I am the be-all and the end-all. I am the only source of your sexual pleasure, and all these things that turn you on, we’re never doing any of that shit.” Then you have these problems when both people in these relationships are saying this to each other about different stuff! And then those relationships collapse and fall apart. You make monogamy sound so bleak. It doesn’t have to be bleak, so long as you’re whores for each other. You have to be the person that makes it happen. You want your partner to look and you and think, “because this person is in my life, these things — intimacy, romance — this is the source, the wellspring for all that.” You don’t want that person to look at you and think, “Fuck. Because I am with this person, I never get a blowjob, ever.” Because then that person is going to go on Craiglist and find a freelance blowjob-er. Are there any kinks that you recommend people not pursue? A: I tell people to be GGG, to go there, to be game for anything within reason. I don’t think people should do things that will traumatize them, leave them curled up in the fetal position on the floor when it’s over, sobbing. I don’t think you owe that to your partner. What do you think about the new pope, how he advocated for civil unions when he was in Argentina? Well, that was a rearguard action. That was the church in Argentina being in retreat. They weren’t out in front saying, “Hey, we maybe we should treat same sex couples fairly and offer them civil unions.” If the church had said that in Argentina 20 years ago, maybe that would have spoken well of the new pope, Boulder Weekly

buzz but the church said it at the last minute to try to head off full civil equality and marriage in the past, but it was unsuccessful. You never see the church in a country where gay people are being persecuted and there’s no push for marriage rights, suggesting that maybe gay people should have access to civil unions. When the Catholic Church in Uganda or Nigeria or the Soviet Union or Ukraine, Germany, or anywhere else where there’s no push for marriage [equality], gets in front and says “civil unions for gay couples!” — that would be significant. In the 22 years that you’ve written this column, how have people’s sexual attitudes changed in this country? People are a lot more open, particularly about kink. People are a lot more realistic about monogamy, and I think that I’ve helped drive that conversation, including people who are monogamous, are more realistic about monogamy. I think realism about monogamy can actually make a monogamous relationship likely to remain monogamous or be successfully monogamous. It’s when two people are lying to each other and pretending they don’t want to be sleeping with anyone else, and both are policing each other for evidence that they actually do, and they both should know they both actually do. It’s just a huge strain on a marriage. It puts a lie at the heart of the marriage. And people are much more realistic about that now. And partly because of conversations I helped to drive in Savage Love. People are certainly way more realistic about kink and sexual variety, but that’s a conversation that I think was initiated by the AIDS epidemic that bled from the gay community into the straight community. Sex-ed used to be predicated on not writing about what people were actually doing, not writing sex advice columns, but writing about what everyone had come to a consensus on what people should be doing. ... And then the AIDS epidemic happened, and in an instant, vanilla sex, vaginal or anal intercourse — vaginal is vanilla for straights, anal is vanilla for gays — was riskier, more dangerous than BDSM. If you were going to get tied up and flogged and jerked off, you were actually being safer than someone who just wanted to fuck. And we suddenly had to have this much more open and honest and realistic conversation assessing people’s risks and the risks of different sex acts and sexual interests. And suddenly things that had been stigmatized and dangerous and sick and unhealthy suddenly rose in their public Boulder Weekly

estimation, because bondage presents no risk for HIV transmission, so long as you don’t follow it up with a good fuck, and many people into bondage don’t. And suddenly they were the safe boys and the safe girls. Where were you when the AIDS epidemic started? I was in gay bars in Chicago. I came out in 1981, just as the HIV, just as AIDS — gay cancer, then GRID, then AIDS — began to slam into the gay community. I remember. I was there. I have a lot of dead friends. Was it terrifying? Oh, it was. It was absolutely terrifying. Which is one of the things that drives me crazy about HIV educators, they run around saying fear-based education doesn’t work, and shame and guilt don’t work, and I’m like, oh no, I was there in the mid-’80s, and we were all terrified and deeply ashamed of some of the behaviors people engaged in that kind of laid out the welcome mat, or created the disease settings, that allowed AIDS to explode throughout the population. That did change everyone’s behavior. That fear and that shame worked like fucking gangbusters. It was rooted in reality. AIDS was legitimately terrifying then. Have you been following this bacterial meningitis outbreak among gay men in New York City? Speaking of scary, yes I have! Does that in any way remind you of the ’80s? What’s interesting is the alacrity, the response from health officials to get out in front of it. … The same health agencies — new officials, same agencies — that were so slow to respond to HIV, so slow to warn people, have been out there saying, “Let’s have an abundance of caution this time,” instead of an abundance of apathy. That’s what we didn’t see, we didn’t see health officials get out in front of it and speak directly and bluntly to gay men the way NYC health officials are now speaking bluntly to gay men. The slowness of the response is what led to so many thousands of people getting infected and ending up dead. That’s a sign of the times, right? Yeah, it’s a sign of the times in so many different ways. That we learned the lessons of HIV, and that gay people are more valued now. The reason why the response was so slow to HIV is because health officials, the media, politicians, they didn’t care whether gay men lived or died, but now they do. And that’s different and that’s gratifying. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

The CSF gets off to a roaring start by Gary Zeidner

Glenn Asakawa

he Colorado Shakespeare Festival (CSF) opened its 56th season last weekend with one of the Bard’s most beloved plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in addition to The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), Macbeth, Richard II and a two-night reprise of Women of Will. To say that A Midsummer Night’s Dream kicked off the festival marvelously is an understatement along the lines of saying that the NSA has a vague idea of your calling and Internet browsing habits. Despite the presence of a fairy community complete with its own social hierarchy and unusual mores and a secondary play acted out within the confines of the primary production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is actually one of old Will’s most accessible and relatively simple works. It overflows with whimsy and wonder, and is chockablock with both low and high humor, as characters utter Shakespeare’s brilliantly crafted bon mots one moment, then, with as much ease, tumble into a pratfall the next. The play opens mid-predicament for a less-famous pair of star-crossed lovers, Hermia ( Jenna Bainbridge) and Lysander (Sean Scrutchins). While Hermia and Lysander love each other madly, Hermia’s father, Egeus (Sam Sandoe), forbids their relationship. Remember, women were property at the time, and Egeus has promised Hermia to a nobler, richer man, Demetrius (Sammie Joe Kinnett). Rather than knuckle under to Egeus’ will or the harsh laws of the land, Hermia and Lysander decide to run away together. They are pursued by Demetrius, who is, in turn, pursued by Helena (Taylor Fisher), the fourth side of what could most accurately be called a love quadrilateral. Helena prizes Demetrius despite his affection for Hermia and is determined to make him Boulder Weekly

hers. All four lovers and would-be lovers wind up smack dab in the middle of a forest inhabited by a fairy kingdom, and their timing couldn’t be worse. Oberon, the King of the Fairies, (Steven Cole Hughes) and Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, ( Jamie Ann Romero) are having a bit of a row. To punish her for her obstinance, Oberon directs his right-hand fairy, Puck (Lawrence Hecht), to use a magical flower to enchant the sleeping Titania so that she will fall in love with the first creature she sees upon waking. Oberon plans to gloat and giggle as Titania swoons for a boar, otter or Rocky Dennis. Having overheard Helena bemoaning the fact that Demetrius does not return her love, Oberon tells Puck to use the love flower on Demetrius as well. At really no fault of his own, Puck mistakenly doses Lysander who, upon waking, first sees and falls head over heels for Helena. Now, to put it in Doyle-ian parlance, the game is truly

afoot. Both Lysander and Demetrius lust after Helena and treat Hermia with complete contempt. Hermia and Helena are baffled as Hermia can’t understand Lysander’s defection, and Helena thinks the other three are having a laugh at her expense. Meanwhile, in the same forest, some local tradesmen are practicing a play they hope to perform for the Duke on the night of his wedding. The lead actor, Nick Bottom (Nigel Gore), wanders off into the woods. Puck, being Puck, transforms Bottom’s head into that of a donkey (cue ass jokes), and in this hybrid form Bottom is the first creature Titania sees when she awakes. Bottom, blithely unaware he’s wearing Eeyore’s head, soaks up the adoration. Things resolve in a jovial and pleasantly romantic way, and the play is capped off by the tradesmen’s performance for the nobles. It is definitely a happily-ever-after type of affair. This A Midsummer Night’s Dream is set in the Roaring ’20s, and the costume design by Clare Henkel shoulders most of the transportive load. From Hermia’s polio crutch to Oberon’s wings to Titania’s headdress, Henkel makes Midsummer Night look beautiful. Her costumes and the sound design by Steve Stevens — you’ll swear there is a duck waddling around the Mary Rippon Theatre — contribute the most to the play’s reality. Scrutchins and Kinnett work wonders with physical humor. As Helena, Fisher blew me out of my seat with her abilities. More than virtually anyone else on stage, she made Shakespeare’s words seem utterly natural even in 2013. And I can’t say enough about Nigel Gore. His Bottom is a glorious thing to behold. Whether you’ve never been to the CSF or are a longtime fan, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a mustsee. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

describe it. It is an awesome feeling as a musician to be supported by that many amazing players. It’s really indescribable. I’ve been in smaller orchestras and smaller bands, but on stage it’s something else.” Urata adds that playing with the orchestra was not a stretch for a band that uses similar arrangements. “I always thought that we’ve been aspiring towards that on our records anyway,” Urata says. “We’ve always used orchestral instruments. We have been making arrangements bigger and bigger as each album went on. It wasn’t a total leap to go in that direction. We built our whole band on being nontraditional, as far as instrumentation goes. We’ve always used softer acoustic instruments, so it was kind of a natural fit.” Urata says he hopes to have new songs for this upcoming performance. “We have expanded the catalogue,” Urata says. “We did all of the arrangements ourselves. It’s been a work-inprogress, but we added a few songs and we’re definitely going to play a bunch that we played last year.” Urata says that some of his favorite

inTze Wu is finding her inner Carmen. The director and guiding spirit of the annual Sounds of Lyons chamber music festival has described herself in the past as “part renegade, part experimentalist and part naïve,” which fits the previous four festivals to a “T.” And in the fifth Sounds of Lyons ( June 14–16), she and the festival are still renegade and experimental, but they are well beyond naïve. “I want to get out of that straitjacket of societal expectation of what classical musicians should be,” Wu says. “I want classical music to go a little bad, just to flirt a little bit.”

songs to play with the orchestra are some of the band’s best. One of his two favorites, “All the Sand in all the Sea,” fits the orchestra well. The tremolo-picked guitar melody, drenched in reverb, asks to be supplemented by an orchestral string section. “When you’re writing pop songs, you want to have a sense of grandeur,” he says. “You try to do that with your little band. When we added the orchestra, it had a sense of size and space and the oceanscape itself. The builds and drops were perfect for a group like that.” Fitting extremely well into their eastern European and Spanish influences, “Comrade Z,” Urata’s other favorite, features dueling trumpet and violin melodies that, when played in large groups, are exponentially more impressive. In fact, he says, playing the song with the orchestra was exciting due to its demand for technical proficiency. “It really flexes the muscles of the orchestra,” Urata says. “You can tell. You can hear it in the way they play it — how much fun they’re having.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

In that spirit, this year’s opening concert (8 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday in Lyons’ Rogers Hall) is a 65-minute portrayal of Carmen, the notorious bad girl of opera. Carmen, you may recall, is definitely not naïve. To bring this passionate character to life, Wu has cooked up a fascinating stew of Bizet’s music, Pablo de Sarasate’s gypsy-flavored “Carmen Fantasy” for violin, and music performed by Latin guitarist Alfredo Muro, with a little seasoning from Tom Waits, Django Reinhardt and even “The Girl from Ipanema,” all performed by an ensemble of see LYONS Page 38

Five Fifths of Macbeth — Presented by the Boulder International Fringe Festival. The Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, 303-4407826. June 14-16. The trouble with producing Shakespeare is that the Bard has been a classic for centuries, and there have been thousands and thousands of productions of each play. Countless creative minds have tried to bring new angles to the supposedly timeless material, so how do you make your production unique? The Boulder International Fringe Festival has gleefully embraced this conundrum, and the result is TinHOUSE Dance Theatre’s Joanna Rotkin will Five Fifths of Macbeth. Five direct the final act of the Boulder Fringe Festival’s local theater companies and Five Fifths of Macbeth. their respective directors — square product theatre, Band of Toughs, Society for Creative Aging, Paul Fowler Music and TinHOUSE Dance Theatre — will each direct one act of Macbeth. Through collaboration, perhaps fresh takes can appear. —David Accomazzo

The truth of true love

‘Before Midnight’ will rub your heart raw by Ryan Syrek

ou know the moment. It’s that split second when your mouth sprints right when your brain comes up lame. Suddenly, an average argument about one thing, one time, is now an argument about everything, every time. You’ve gone from questioning that evening’s plans to forcibly rewriting the geography of your heart, cartography only possible after a solitary trip across a great expanse known as “the future.” You know the thought: “How the hell did we get here?” We know how Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine ( Julie Delpy) got here. We’ve watched them work their way to this point for nearly two decades. We stared slack-jawed at their indie earnestness in Before Sunrise (1995); we marveled at their raw romanticism in Before Sunset (2004). So here we stand, watching them Before Midnight, and it’s terrifying. It’s terrifying because director/writer Richard Linkletter, who shared script credit with his stars, is so good at plundering reality. They are a trio of thieves who steal the authentic from our lives, flaunting fiction that invokes our own intimate truths. And sometimes it is hilarious, as when Celine and Jesse banter towards the end of their Greek holiday about the crimes age and gravity play on human anatomy. Sometimes it is touching, as when the couple falls into flirtation almost by accident after all these years. And often it is sad, as when the infinite potential of true love butts up against the tight confines of responsibility. Evenly matched to a fault, Celine can’t fully empathize with Jesse’s imita-

tion of Atlas; his back bulges beneath the burden of having abandoned his son from another marriage, having left him with his alcoholic ex-wife to follow Celine to Paris. And Celine struggles against Jesse’s ignorant dismissal of the doctrine that has guided her life, as he commits the popular new sin where well-intentioned men dismiss feminist concerns because they are not sexist themselves. Ignorance of the need for feminism is the new sexism, and Celine knows it, punctuating it hilariously with a pitch-perfect, inoffensive rape joke. For a movie that is little more than four scenes of walking and talking (or sitting and standing and talking), there’s so much at risk. While Iron Man and Star Trek ante up by putting the world and universe at stake, the peril of watching this love story potentially end on the wrong note is so much more concerning. Jesse and Celine aren’t Romeo and Juliet, a point they make by lightly taunting the bard during dinner. They aren’t beholden to stereotype or trope. They are just so damn real and so damn perfect for one another that if they can’t make it, how can any of us sleep next to a partner believing we can? Before Midnight is quiet, shrewd and sparse. It is unassuming and unafraid to poke fun at its own sporadic pretentiousness. It is funny. It is heartwarming. It is heartbreaking. It is inspired. And above all else, it is so very real. So good luck with that… Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com — This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

hen Rob Rhinehart was living in San Francisco taking a start-up funding course in the summer of 2012, he noticed a startling economic segregation in the progressive city’s food culture. As he explored the hills and crannies of San Francisco he kept noticing that more affluent people in the Bay area were clearly healthier than poorer people, and he decided he wanted to do something about the high cost of staying healthy. Rhinehart, a 2012 engineering graduate from Georgia Institute of Technology, started experimenting in January with his newest entrepreneurial endeavor, Soylent. The Rob Rhinehart (right) mixes Soylent (left). neutral-tasting “meal in a drink” white powder substance combined with water allegedly offers every basic nutrient the human body needs. Soylent can be a quick, cheap and healthy substitute for by Joseph Wirth most meals, Rhinehart says. And Soylent is not far from becoming a reality as its crowdfunding campaign ends on June 21. Rhinehart’s People think that they can do something really quick Soylent Inc. has far exceeded its original $100,000 and still be healthy, and in the long term it just goal on Crowdhoster.com and has now raised more doesn’t work out that way. Health is something that than $500,000. Products will be distributed to more is earned.” than 4,300 Soylent orders beginning in August. Thompson says he has also read Rhinehart’s blog Here in Boulder, one of the healthiest cities in and researched Soylent’s partnership with the United States, nutrition coach Curtis Thompson Crowdhoster, and he is not convinced that this camsays that he doesn’t think Soylent has any nutritional paign is anything more than a get-rich-quick merit, and that although meal-replacement formulas scheme. may work on some people in the short term, in the “People are just throwing money at it and saying long term Soylent is a negative tradeoff of the user’s ‘Wow, terrific, this would be great,’ and I just don’t health for convenience. see the science behind it,” Thompson says. “He’s “When I look at it, it just doesn’t make sense using the Internet and the blogs very effectively, and from a logical perspective,” Thompson says. “I think that’s what the people he works with specialize in; that the American public and the majority of people none of them are nutrition experts.

money, and they’re using the Internet to do that.” Even with the criticisms, Soylent has raised five times the amount of Rhinehart’s original goal, and they did it emphatically. Rhinehart and Soylent Corp. reached $100,000 within the first two hours of the campaign. “Literally, it was so fast, and it’s just an incredibly quickly growing campaign,” says Ajay Mehta, a spokesperson for Crowdhoster. “It speaks a lot to the founders and their idea and their grand vision.” He says Crowdhoster supports Soylent and its mission. Crowdhoster gets 5 percent of the money that’s raised on its platform. Mehta says that Rhinehart was able to create a large audience for himself through his personal blog as he was in the process of creating Soylent, and that there are no “big” donors. The Crowdhoster page shows that the crowdfunders are people who want to try Soylent out for a week ($65), a month ($230) or other options, including two- and three-month supplies of Soylent. The shipments will be available to customers only in the U.S., for now. Although Thompson and other nutritionists have been skeptical of the science behind Soylent, Rhinehart says the science is rather simple. He says there are about 35 essential nutrients that people’s bodies need. All of those nutrients, which include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, electrolytes, potassium, magnesium and a lot of other vitamins, along with a couple more antioxidants, are what goes into the Soylent powder. Rhinehart says that Soylent could be the future of food, and that the concept of only eating raw, whole food is backwards thinking.

Is Soylent the real deal for a liquid meal?

Taking quick evasive 303-774-8330 action, I swerved around him as he managed to straighten out his trajectory and keep his bike upright. Fortunately, we were only a few hundred yards from our destination, Mary’s Market and Deli, located in Hygiene’s commercial center. Mary’s has the welcoming feel of the archetypical country store, with a warm wood interior and retro retail fixtures such as a nut display that seems strangely familiar. It’s also remarkably cyclist-friendly — Keith was able to make use of a communal floor pump to fill his tire — and there’s plenty of bicycle parking.

The crust was a touch doughy and was closer to pale white than golden brown in appearance — with a flakier texture, this hearty pie would have been darn-near perfect. Similar crust concerns informed my experience with a $4 slice of peach pie. Otherwise, the slightly sugary filling satisfied my need for sweet, and this quality was nicely tempered by the fruit’s subtly tart edge. As a dining destination for the cyclist, one would be hard-pressed to find a more suitable spot. But even if you aren’t a rider, you can still appreciate the endearing qualities of this market. Heck, if you’re a deceptive person, you might even explore the possibility of purchasing one of their homespun pies and passing it off as your own. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

owadays, professional and amateur cyclists rely on scientifically formulated sports drinks, gels and energy bars to keep their momentum going. But this wasn’t always the case, and for decades riders relied on low-tech repasts. After World War I, beer and wine were popular among Tour de France riders, in part because they were often more sanitary than water. The ravages of war damaged water supplies and distribution systems, compromising their purity. Simple sandwiches were another popular snack. As late as 1975, one TdF rider refused to continue until he was supplied with better gearing, beer and a chicken sandwich.

Some of the ingredients that go into Soylent

SOYLENT from Page 49

“People in California were very adamant about using the latest technology in cars, hardware and software, and they demanded primitive forms of food, only wanting organic, raw food that our primitive ancestors ate, and that seems really strange to me,” Rhinehart says. “If food is so important, why would we use an ancient form? We don’t use leaves for clothing anymore. For the longest time I thought I was crazy because no one else saw it that way, but I think this is an idea that’s time has come.” Thompson’s opinions on food are the exact opposite. He says that humans have stuck to the primitive forms of food because food is obviously important, and substitutes are simply unhealthy. “Looking at the history of mankind, food has been a priority,” Thompson says. “If you go back several thousand years, what you did every day was go out and find healthy food. I don’t know if that shortcut is going to work because so far if I look at all of the people that take the shortcuts that he is trying to take right now with his product, they are not being successful. America is doing this on a grand scale, it’s a giant experiment. We’re eating an intense amount of processed food and synthetic vitamins, and right now the results are not good.” Rhinehart describes Soylent as an innovative way to tackle the problems with obesity in the U.S. and help play a part in contributing to better global food security. He admits that Soylent sounds too good to be true, and he knows that everyone still needs to eat to some extent. “It sounds hard to believe, but it is awesome,” Rhinehart says. “I sleep

better, I have more energy, I have more free time, I save money, it’s great. The drawback is if you’re really into food and need a good meal all of the time, because you don’t get that. It is purposely not very flavorful or stimulating, it’s more refreshing, like water. I think we need food that doesn’t do a lot for the body and is just about the taste, and simultaneously we need a more efficient form of food like Soylent that makes sure that everyone has their nutritional needs met.” Thompson argues that not every nutrient is good for every person, and that one size, or drink, does not fit all. “The amount of nutrients matter on an individual basis, it’s all about bio-individuality,” Thompson says. “I have yet to see a person do [better] on [meal replacement formulas] than on real food.” To Rhinehart, Soylent is simply better than what nature can provide, and he says he knows that it’s going to be a long road to change people’s eating behavior, because Thompson’s perspective is so ingrained within people. “[Food culture] will be a lot better off when people realize that we can use technology to improve things,” Rhinehart says. “We can make things that are far better than nature provides, just like how people used to ride horses and now we drive cars.” Soylent isn’t made of people like the 1973 sci-fi film Soylent Green, which is the inspiration for the name, but it is made from elements people are ultimately from, in terms of sustaining nutrition. Soylent can be ordered online, and Rhinehart says he hopes to have it in nutrition and grocery stores nationwide and expand Soylent abroad as soon as possible.

n the heels of last week’s sugary-sweet trip to Wild Woods, things turned sour. Avery Brewing Company once again hosted the Boulder SourFest, a massive, packed and tart five-hour celebration of the nation’s sourest brews. Tickets to the charity event sold out in less than a minute, and fans predictably clamored for more — two days, three, a ticket lottery, sours in bottles for sale, anything. So Avery’s national marketing director Darin McGregor sounds — and admits he is — just a little defensive about the event. “Why don’t you just do another day? Because we can’t,” McGregor tells me after the event. “One of the reasons is with these beers, not only are they really hard to brew and they take forever, but coming up with the proper blend for a beer like Eremita V can take up to three months of multiple, multiple sessions.” The range within sour beers is staggering, even though many are based on the same source beers: saisons, reds, strong ales, the occasional brown. But what breweries do to the base beer — what they age it in, what they age it with and for how long — opens the style up to millions of possibilities. It’s how you wind up with sour beer descriptions 10 times the length of any other beer, typically naming cask type, duration, any fruits or flowers tossed into the mix and yeast strains and bacteria more familiar to chemists than weekend drinkers. Standouts from the sour fest were too many to mention. Colorado beers dominated the day, from the highly soughtafter bottles from Crooked Stave to Colorado’s biggest craft brewery, New Belgium, which might have had the strangest beer of the bunch with its Oscar-Worthy Coffee, the brewery’s dark sour blended with cold-pressed coffee. Multiple people cited it to me as a favorite. I might not have cited it back, but Boulder Weekly

that’s OK. Host Avery just might have had the strongest group top-to-bottom, with an unexpected star in its homebrew club’s submission. But of all times, faced with so much variety, it might be time to address the elephant in the room. Or at least a small, experimental arm of one of them. I’m talking about the big, mass-market beer companies: MillerCoors (a joint venture of SABMiller and Molson Coors, so that’s Miller, Coors, Molson, Blue Moon, Killian’s, Keystone, Milwaukee’s Best, Leinenkugel and Pilsner Urquell, among 140 others) and Anheuser-Busch InBev (that’s Busch, Budweiser, Corona, Labatt, Stella, Beck’s, Natural Ice, Michelob, Shock Top and Goose Island, among 200 others). No, I never thought the multinational beer companies — since the goal of many of these brands is apparently to erase taste from beer, let’s not call them brewers — would appear in this column. But. Let’s zoom in on that one arm of one of them: AC Golden, housed in the Golden Coors facility at the foot of South Table Mountain. Call it, as the Brewers Association did, “crafty” because it’s an attempt by the big boys to sneak into the craft beer market. But AC Golden was on hand with a few sours. And they were really, really good, balanced and delicious. You won’t catch me stocking up on Bud Light, or even Colorado Native, but a 750-milliliter bottle of Peche once in a while is now on my shopping list. Those curious about sours — which, judging by ticket sales, is everyone — can learn more at an Avery event June 24 that will explain how the brewery blends sours, including allowing participants to blend their own sour with a measuring cup and a range of eight barrel-aged sours to mix. Tickets are on sale for $60 at Avery’s tap room. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

BOULDER BIDS RISTORANTE L FAREWELL

After more than 25 years of operation Ristorante L, formerly known as Laudisio, closed its doors on June 8. The local hangout and Italian restaurant inhabited its 29th Street Mall location for seven years. For the 18 years prior to that, it had been located in the shopping center on the Northwest corner of Iris and 28th street. Neither the notice posted on the Restaurant’s door nor the message posted on Ristorante L’s website that was also emailed to long-time customers stated a reason for the closing. The email read, “The restaurant would like to thank all its patrons who have been dining with us at our 29th Street location (since 2006) and previously at the Iris location.” Former Laudisio owner Antonio Laudisio will still be attending the weekly Boulder Farmers’ Market as well as catering events.

YOYO’S FROYO ON THE HILL

With the frozen yogurt revolution taking off around the world, it is only fitting that froyo has conquered the Hill. Yoyo’s, a locally owned and organic Frozen Yogurt shop, opened in March, just in time to offer summer treats. Yoyo’s features 12 all-natural, locally made flavors including Rasberry Lemonade, Mango, Cookie Dough and Berry Tart. Yoyo’s has a new take on toppings with unusual options

Yoyo’s outdoor patio offers a place to relax with friends and family while indulging in a nutritious take on sweets.

FARM TO FORK, GRAPES TO GLASS

Even indulgence can be environmentally responsible. Q’s Food & Wine Series is hosting ‘Farm to Fork, Grapes to Glass,’ a dinner with Benziger wines, at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 29. Q’s is hosting the event in celebration of the well-known Benziger Winery of Sonoma County, Calif. The family owned and distinctive vineyards use certified biodynamic, organic and sustainable farming practices — because, they say, “great wine has green values.” Biodynamic agriculture treats the farm or field as a single organism, emphasizing relationships between soil, plants and animals as well as self-sustainability. Benziger Winery focuses on biodiversity, soil revitalization and integrated pest management to produce its grapes. Q’s chefs John Platt and Shawn Murrell will be focusing on sustainability as well by cooking with an emphasis on local, organic cuisine. The event’s food will be crafted with five classic varietals of Benziger’s Sonoma selec-

Small Denver-based company Peak 7 Vodka is diving into the Colorado micro-spirits market. The official Peak 7 Vodka launch party will take place on June 23 at Mile High Distillery in Denver at 2920 Larimer St. where the spirits are made. Named for its distilling process in which the vodka is distilled seven times before completion, Peak 7 was recognized at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest on March 2 and 3 as an award-winning vodka. Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka after 12 prominent spirits professionals conducted a double-blind tasting. “We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier says in a press release. “We think Colorado’s the best place on Earth you can live, and the best place on Earth to make great vodka.” Colorado has at least 25 craft distilleries. These small and carefully distilled batches of rum, whiskey, liqueur, vodka and gin are increasingly gaining shelf space in Colorado liquor stores, according to the American Distilling Institute. Peak 7 Vodka, made with Rocky Mountain spring water and a blend of corn and wheat to achieve a unique balance of smoothness and taste, is available at select locations throughout the Front Range including Boulder Wine & Spirits, Hazel’s Beverage World and North Boulder Liquor. “All things being equal, there are a lot of people who would rather buy locally-made spirits,” Peak 7 co-founder Desi Lopez says in a press release. “We’re delivering that high-end quality that people have come to expect from some of the major European brands, but we’re doing it with vodka made right here in our home city.”

Dear Dan: I’m a lost little lesbian. I have been with my partner for the past four years. She’s 27 and I’m 26. These have been four magical years. We love each other, our parents are happy for us, and we make a great team. My girlfriend deployed to Afghanistan, and I was an angel for the first four months of her deployment. But then I hit a rocky spot. After an argument on Skype, I went to confide in a friend — seriously, confide, that was it. My friend and I cooked dinner, drank, and chatted. The next thing I knew, it was 5 a.m. and I was on the couch half-dressed. I never told my girlfriend. Part of me wanted to, but the moment she got off the plane and dropped to one knee, I knew I’d be keeping my indiscretion a secret. Seven months after my first slipup, we found out that she’d be leaving again. During her second deployment, I ended up out on the town with friends and was heavily intoxicated. Cutting to the chase: I slept with a random person. I did the same thing again five months later. So I have cheated three times. None of these people meant anything to me. My girlfriend is back, and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen her. We are planning a wedding, and I can’t bring myself to break her heart. Many nights I find it impossible to sleep. I have identified that drinking is a major problem and I am finished with it. I know that the things I have done will never happen again, and I want to spare her that hurt. How do I get past all the mistakes I’ve made so that I can love her the way she deserves to be loved? —Army Wife In Training Dear AWIT: By giving yourself a break, AWIT. You were drunk, you were lonely, and you were unmarried. OK, you weren’t exactly single at the time, it’s true, and you did a shitty thing … and another shitty thing … and another shitty thing. You can look on those three shitty things as unforgivable betrayals (and as prologue) or you can look at them as important life lessons you learned before making a formal and (hopefully) final commitment to your fiancée. Resolve to stay away from booze, go get tested for STIs, and stuff those ill-advised, booze-soaked, pre-exchange-of-vows experiences down the memory hole. Dear Dan: Hi there, faggot! Whiny dyke here! I’m queer and mostly into women, but with a severe attraction to one particular guy. We’re close friends and hang out all the time. He’s great. A few weeks ago, he came back to my place

Love

and we made out for 15 minutes before he said that he’s not really attracted to me. We made out a little more. A few days later, he told me again that he’s not physically attracted to me. We have always been really touchy, we’re shirtless around each other a lot, and I’m struggling to believe him when he says he’s not physically attracted to me. How do you make out with someone you don’t find physically attractive? Further developments: There have been two recent instances in which he moved in on a woman I had expressed an interest in. I told him off about this, and he said he won’t do it again, but doesn’t that say something about him? Is there some kind of combo of competition, subconsciously trying to keep me unlaid, or voodoo connection? Am I just being paranoid? —Wants Hetero Affections Tamed Dear WHAT: This guy sounds like a narcissistic douchebag who enjoys toying with people who are attracted to him. He sounds like a narcissistic douchebag with a bit of a sadistic streak. Telling someone midmake-out-session that you’re not really attracted to them is cruel, getting half-naked with someone who’s into you when you’re not into them is cruel, swooping down on girls who your queer girlfriend has expressed an interest in is cruel and an asshole move. All his moves are asshole moves. Now, I’m sure this guy has lots of wonderful qualities — most narcissistic douchebags have some cause to be narcissists — and you don’t have to cut him out of your life. But you do need to be less open with him emotionally, socially and sexually. Don’t give him any more opportunities to toy with you — no touchy-touchy, no make-out sessions, no partial disrobing — and don’t point out girls you’re interested in. Or, hey, get your revenge by “expressing an interest” in girls you don’t think are hot. This week on the Savage Lovecast: Are shrinks good for your love life? Also, how should you comport yourself when you’re the Dungeon Master and you have to watch your ex-girlfriend be some other guy’s slave? Find out at savagelovecast.com.

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

Long after the artist Amedeo Clemente Modigliani died, his paintings sold for millions of dollars. But while alive, he never got rich from doing what he loved to do. He expressed frustration about the gap between his ambitions and his rewards. “I do at least three paintings a day in my head,” he said. “What’s the use of spoiling canvas when nobody will buy anything?” I hope you don’t arrive at a comparable conclusion, Gemini. It’s crucial that you NOT keep your good ideas bottled up in your imagination. You need to translate them into practical actions, even if there’s no immediate or obvious benefit in doing so. Expressing yourself concretely has rarely been more important than it is right now.

CANCER

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

In 1967, dissidents dreamed up a novel way to protest America’s horrific Vietnam War. They marched to the Pentagon, the military’s headquarters, and performed an exorcism to purge the place of its evil. With the power of songs and chants, they invoked magic spells designed to levitate the 6.5-million-square-foot building into the air. Their plan didn’t quite work in a literal way — the Pentagon remained firmly fixed to the ground — but the legend they spawned was potent. When I heard about it years later, it inspired me to become an activist. I see mythmaking as a worthy goal for you right now, Cancerian. Dream up an epic task or project that will fuel your imagination for a long time.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

In 1926, surrealist artist Max Ernst painted “The Blessed Virgin Chastising the Infant Jesus in Front of Three Witnesses.” It shows Mary vigorously spanking her son as he lies on her lap. Nowadays, the image doesn’t seem nearly as scandalous as it did when it first appeared. Even some Christians I know find it amusing, welcoming the portrayal of Jesus as a genuine human being with lessons to learn. What would be your equivalent of creating a cheeky image like this, Leo? How could you achieve cathartic release by being irreverent toward something or someone you respect? I recommend it. (See the image: tinyurl.com/ SpankingJesus.)

NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Sagittarius comedian Steven Wright says he took a class in speed waiting. “Now I can wait an hour in only 10 minutes,” he brags. I think you will have the same knack in the coming days, Sagittarius. Your patience is likely to be much more effective than usual. Results will come faster and they’ll be more intense. The only catch is that you will really have to be calm and composed and willing to wait a long time. It won’t work if you’re secretly antsy and only pretending to be imperturbable.

CAPRICORN

Let the boundaries blur a bit, Capricorn. Don’t stick too rigidly to the strict definitions. Play around with some good old-fashioned fuzzy logic. The straight facts and the precise details are important to keep in mind, but you shouldn’t cling to them so ferociously that they stifle your imagination. You need to give yourself enough slack to try open-ended experiments. You’ll be smart to allow some wobble in your theories and a tremble in your voice. Magic will happen if there’s plenty of wiggle room.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

“One should be light like a bird, and not like a feather,” said French poet Paul Valery. How do you interpret that thought, Aquarius? In the book The Science of Self-Control, here’s how Howard Rachlin expands on Valery’s idea: “We need to be spontaneous, but only in the context of some framework that allows us to attain higher levels of spontaneity; a feather is a slave to the wind, while a bird uses the wind.” Take heed, Aquarius! Your creative flights will go further and last longer if you have a solid foundation to take off from.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

Let’s call today Sigh-Day. Tomorrow, too, and the next day, and the two days after that. During these five SighDays, you should feel free to let out big, deep sighs at a higher rate than usual. Allow yourself to be filled up with poignant thoughts about life’s paradoxical mysteries. Give yourself permission to be overwhelmed with emotions that are midway between lamentation and reverent amazement. For even better results, indulge in some free-form moaning during your five Sigh-Days. That’ll help you release your full backlog of tension and give you more appreciation for the crazy beauty of your fate. (P.S.: Try not to whine, though.)

Emergency rule keeps cannabis magazines on the shelves

robably the strangest paragraph in Colorado’s first attempt to regulate marijuana was the one that stipulated that “magazines whose primary focus is marijuana or marijuana businesses are only sold in retail marijuana stores or behind the counter in establishments where persons under 21 years of age are present.” Yes, you read that correctly. Magazines about pot like High Times would have to be hidden behind the counter alongside Gallery or Gent, with the astounding caveat that anyone under 21 could purchase the magazines in question — but he or she couldn’t look at it in the store. And I say “was” because it was rendered moot rather quickly and efficiently. The statute was a last-minute, Hail-Mary insertion from Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, who was apparently among the 40 percent of the state’s voters who didn’t approve Amendment 64. “The idea is that we need to keep marijuana out of the hands of children. That we don’t want to encourage the use, we want to discourage the use by children,” Gardner told CBSNews in Denver while the bills were being debated. “Let me emphasize these publications are not banned. They’re not prohibited. Their marketing is being controlled.” Never mind that kids can see the same marijuana ads in their own homes, right here in the back pages of Boulder Weekly, the Denver Post and other newspapers and magazines. If Smart Colorado, a group that wants to discourage teenage pot use, put out a magazine, would it be illegal since its “primary focus would be marijuana?” As written, it just didn’t make any sense. Given that there are lawyers among our legislators, I’m guessing that the “treat pot magazines like pornography” reg was allowed to go through knowing it would be legally indefensible but necessary to get these rules and regulations passed within the strict timeline set by the amendment.

It didn’t take long for the hammer to come down. The regulations were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Tuesday, May 28. The next day, making good on an earlier threat after the legislature first passed the regulations, David Lane, the civil rights attorney who represented Ward Churchill in his case against CU, filed a lawsuit in federal court, representing High Times, The Daily Doobie and The Hemp Connoisseur, all three operating within the law in Colorado and claiming, not surprisingly, that it was a violation of their right to free speech. Unspoken was that in the case of the Doobie and the Connoisseur, the regulation would probably be a nail in the coffins of their respective businesses. On Tuesday, June 4, another lawsuit, Tattered Cover v. Brohl, was filed by the ACLU of Colorado and Media Coalition Inc. on behalf of the Tattered Cover, Boulder Book Store, Magpies Newsstand in Durango, Book Train in Glenwood Springs, Woody’s Newsstand in Greeley, Al’s Newsstand in Fort Collins, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, and Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association, all businesses that would be affected by the new regulation. On Thursday, two days after the second lawsuit, the Marijuana Enforcement Division called the pro-

vision unconstitutional and said it wouldn’t enforce it. Attorney General John Suthers concurred and issued an emergency rule. “No magazine whose primary focus is marijuana or marijuana businesses is required to be sold only in retail marijuana stores or behind the counter in establishments where persons under 21 years of age are present, because such a requirement would violate the United States Constitution, the Colorado Constitution, and section 24-4-103(4) (a.5)(IV), C.R.S.,” the rule said. That’s pretty clear. Federal Judge Richard Matsch thought so, too, and he wisely rejected the state’s call for the dismissal of the lawsuits. Matsch gave the state until the end of the month to respond to those. The attempt to create a set of rules and regulations to treat marijuana like alcohol in Colorado is in its earliest stages. In this case, the checks and balance system worked the way it should. The legislature overreached, and the Attorney General’s office stepped in. Look for many more course corrections like this along the way. What do you want to know about legal marijuana in Colorado? Tips, suggestions. criticisms to weed@boulderweekly.com.
