Lucas Myers new one man play
iShow A Play From The Future
debuts at The Capitol Theater later
this month. It’s a look 100 years
into the future via his new character
Raymond, “I like the idea of look-
ing into future and what’s going to
happen, in someways its kind of a
satire, the world I create is hopefully
not the world we end up in!” These
characters can take Lucas countless
hours, months, even years to devel-
op, but when it’s all said and done
you always end up with something
unique. “The character Raymond is
sort of a self help guru, he’s going
to show you how to be the best
you can be.” Lucas, though, plays
with and juxtaposes this self help
seminar host with what Raymond
really is, which is a bit of a slacker
who wears jogging pants. Think the
opposite of Tom Cruise’s character
Frank T.J. Mackey from the movie
Magnolia. “Part of the show is pretty
wacky with him talking about this,
its his own kind of version of how
you become the best you can be,
and part of the show is him going
online and showing you how to do
it, so I’m running around on stage
in this virtual world busting my ass
doing all these crazy things. I think
it’s gonna be pretty fun, pretty
wacky! Then of course everything
goes sideways as they always do in
my shows.”

This Friday (Sept 23) The Fairies
Pyjama’s is having a party celebrat-
ing their move to 358 Baker Street
(Beside Gaia Rising). Why the need
for the move? “Upon spending more
time in Nelson it was evident that
Baker is the main drag for locals and
tourists to walk down, as well as the
vibrant community of boutiques was
very enticing and attractive to be
apart of,” according to Michelle Lynn
Johnson, owner of The Fairies Pyja-
mas. “When you move locations you
want to throw the kind of shindig that
shows everyone just how excited you
are to have a new home. Everything
in the store is 25% off, there is an all
day raffle for a $100 gift certificate,
some local DJ’s will be spinning and
with food and refreshments.”
The move to a new location is
just another step in a very success-
ful fashion design career that started
with Michelle travelling in a van mak-
ing and selling “Wearable Wire Art”
on the beach, street, and at festivals
all over the world. Something she
admits still holds appeal. “Back in the
day, life was a lot simpler. I remem-
ber the first time I made 100 dollars
on the street, that was a really happy
moment and the first time I made a
thousand dollars at a festival, which
was also a big moment. Then after I
sold all those pieces I looked back at
my stock and realized I had to make it
all over again.”

Lucas Jmieff
Nelson is full of talented musi-cians, with an astounding amountof styles represented for such a small city in the mountains. One such artist is Rhoneil, who released her new album “Seeds” September 1st. Self-described as “anti-folk”, the album has many rootsy styles, juxtaposed with samples and modern instrumentation. Uku-leles and banjos strum beneath David Attenborough sound bites and distorted bass lines, twit-tering bird and rainfall samples weave through gentle guitar fig-ures. Instead of being a jumbled mess, the album has real continu-
ity and flow; Rhoneil’s inspiration from our landscape is obvious, and her interesting voice acts as a grounding constant through-out. The album’s production also helps the overall vibe, spacious and grainy without being too low-fidelity. Rhoneil opens for B.A. John-sten October 17th at The Royal, and I’ll definitely be going early to see what she brings to a live setting. Her album can be purchased at http://rhoneil.bandcamp.com [1]

A Short Shot Of Library
The more we get together the happier we’ll be, goes the song—and the Nelson Public Library agrees. The Library has partnered with Touchstones Nelson, Museum of Art and History in Nelson, and Kootenay Gallery of Art, History and Science in Castlegar to give Library members a taste of these great places—and all it takes is a Library card. Touchstones and Kootenay Gal-lery have provided the Library with trial passes good for three weeks that may be checked out just like a book. The pass allows the holder free access to the institutions to see art shows and historical displays. Touchstones Nelson, at the cor-ner of Ward and Vernon Streets, resides in a beautiful 1902 build-ing that served as a customs house, post office, museum, and Nelson City Hall before its final transformation in 2004. It now houses a state-of-the-art permanent interpretive historic exhibition, two professional gal-
lery spaces and a local archives collection. Kootenay Gallery features two exhibition spaces for contempo-rary art and hosts professional touring and regional exhibitions by noted artists working in all disciplines. The gallery is situat-ed across from the Castlegar air-port, adjacent to the Doukhobor Museum. The new passes may be checked out like any library item, and if on loan they may be placed on reserve. Now that you’ve got that song stuck in your head, you might as well skip on down to the library and check out one today!

The Fairies Pyjama’s ContinuedIt was about this time Michelle real-
ized that in order to make her busi-
ness grow she needed to employ oth-
ers to help produce her supplies. She
took a trip through Asia and found
exactly what she needed in Nepal in
2006 where her line is still produced.
“There are over 100 people who are
employed at the Fair Trade Facility.
I’m one of ten international clients
that the facility works with and the
whole process is done there from dye-
ing, sewing, packaging and sending of
the clothing.”
It’s not just the fact that Michelle
felt good about the fair trade aspect
of the facility she was working with,
but that she could find raw materials
there that suited her designs. “The
fabric is really important and that’s
one of the main reasons I began
working with Nepal; they offer fabrics
that are warm for Canadian weath-
er. Nepal offers fabrics that are the
most ideal for the Canadian climate.”
Michelle feels strongly about the fair
trade aspect of her store, and not just
in that it’s fair to the people making
her designs, but to those buying it.“
It’s not just producing it in a fair
manner, but also pricing it fairly, we
try to provide fair trade clothing with
fabric sourced from the most sustain-
able source possible, using cottons
from small farms with low impact
dyes and then when we bring back
our clothing to Canada we want to
make sure that it’s still affordable to
anyone to purchase”.

It’s not over “till the fat lady sings”. Summer’s official end
andAutumn’s here, but I’m not yet
ready to give up the lake! Last year
I had my last swim at Kokanee Creek
Park on October 6. With this year’s
late arrival of summer, I’m banking
on a warm resurgence to carry me at
least to Thanksgiving. Even when the
air cools, the lake water temperature
holds steady awhile longer. We’ve got
those wonderful warm days of autumn
still to come and I’m keeping the bath-
ing suit on standby at the back door.
Of course, if I’m wrong and Indian
summer doesn’t make an appearance
this year, it’s just a bit further up the
highway to Ainsworth Hot Springs.
Hmmm. Even if I’m right, a trip to Ain-
sworth in the fall is worth adding to the
agenda. Last one in is…
But wait, there’s more! Captain
Erik’s Boat and Marine rentals says
they’ll be open for rentals as long
as the weather holds. Paddle boats,
canoes, fishing boats, power boats…
no need to leave the water behind just
yet even if you don’t plan on a Full
Monty. Captain Erik’s is located on the
water just below the Prestige Inn.
Yum:Fabulous food to check out in Nelson
and area. SOUP IS ON!!! Nelson res-
taurants and coffee shops are making
the seasonal menu switch back to
hearty comfort soups and stews. For
the first time ever, OSO actually had
a two-week overlap where soups were
back on the menu and iced-coffee
drinks continued to be available. (His-
torically, the two couldn’t be offered
at the same time due to refrigeration
needs). Sorry, ices disappeared just
this week.

SEASON OPENER EVENT
monday, September 26the royal on baker
Ra Ra Riot Interview
SPIN.com has called Ra Ra Riot “one
of the best young bands we’ve heard
in a really long time”. The band has
released two critically acclaimed
albums, 08’s the Rhumb Line (which
Rolling Stone called one of the best
albums of 08), and last year’s The
Orchard produced by Death Cab For
Cutie’s Chris Walla which Alternative
Press scored an 8 out of 10. They’ve
been touring pretty much steady since
08, but bassist Mathieu Santos found
time to record and release his first
solo album Massachusetts 2010. With
their show at the Royal on Baker fast
approaching we caught up and talked
with Mathieu about everything from
music to radiation and earthquakes.
With Ra Ra Riot on an almost
seemingly endless tour, where
did you find time to record and
release a solo album?
(laughs) It definitely took a while. I
wrote and demo’d the album in 2010
when we first finished our second
album, The Orchard, which took me
about a week to do that then I didn’t
have another chance to work on it for
over a year. We had like a week off. I
hopped over to our singer, Wes’ house
and we recorded the whole thing in
four days. We didn’t have much time,
but we were able to squeeze it in.
Ra Ra Riot just played Fiji Rock
Festival in Japan in July, you guys
did some really cool fund raising
efforts for the victims of the tsu-
nami. Did you have a chance while
you were there to go to some of
the areas that you were trying to
help out?
We didn’t get to visit the really
affected areas but where the festival
is north of Tokyo where the damage
was the worst. At first there was some
question if Fuji Rock was even going
to happen. We went back to Japan in
April shortly after and they said we
were the first American band to have
played over there since the earth-
quake hit so that was really an honour
for us.
Was there any hesitation about
going back, due to all the news
coverage about radiation?
The first trip back, about three weeks
after, there was a lot of discussion
about it. We definitely really wanted
to go but that’s when it was still the
number one story in the media with
lots of news about radiation. It was
definitely touch and go, we did tons
and tons of research to get as much
of a sense of what was going on over
there. We decided that the benefits
definitely outweighed the risks. We
got there and everything seemed
okay. The first night we were there
though, there was a 6.5 or something
aftershock and we were high up in a
hotel and all of sudden the entire room
started shaking.
That must have been kind of con-
cerning for some kids from Syra-
cuse New York.
(laughs) Ya, definitely. We all looked at
each other as we felt it. Lots of fran-
tic screaming in Japanese around us.
There was a jazz band playing that
just kept playing through it.
When you guys played at Spirit-
Bar a few months ago I was really
impressed, you were packing out
your own gear to your van and I
always have respect for an artist
that doesn’t mind doing some
grunt work. Are you still packing
your own gear?
(laughs) Ya always. It’s been like that
forever! You feel like everything you
accomplish you earned it. You are put-
ting your dues in. We have been tour-
ing in the van since we started, and
we’re still in our van!

Vancouver band Said the Whale
have definately caught the eye
of some taste makers in Canada.
Notably the CBC decided to pro-
duce a documentary of the bands
trip to the SXSW festival in Austin
Texas last spring entitled Winning
America, “There’s more people in
California than in all of Canada,
in order to take that next step we
need to sort of win over everybody,”
says the band’s founding member
and co-vocalist, Ben Worcester. “We
were lucky to have CBC ask to do
this documentary, it was pretty cool
to go to Austin, it just keeps get-
ting better.” So far it’s only showed
in BC, but the plan is to show it
nationally in the near future.
The band won Best New Artist
this year, and even though they’ve
been a band since 07, its not really
a surprise to still be tagged new.
“We’re not new, but we are still
new to the industry. It’s kind of like
getting a high five from your older
brother, recognizing that you’re old
enough to be part of the team now.
It’s really awesome”
Next up for the guys is a new
album in the new year. “We’re done
recording, we spent two months
working hard and recording every-
day, we’ve got a four song EP that’s
coming out in the next month or
two, and a full length album in the
new year, we’ve got lots to share!”

Saturday September 24Said the Whale
Your band was pretty much a household name in Quebec before the Polaris Prize win a year ago, how have things change for the band outside of the home province since winning it?It changed a lot. The Polaris was
kind of our break, we didn’t tour
a lot. We were working a lot in
France, Switzerland, Belgium and
of course at home Quebec. It’s
a new life for us. We can play in
Toronto, Vancouver and there are
a lot of music lovers and curious
people everywhere who are pretty
aware of what is happening in the
music scene in Canada. The Polaris
Prize helped us a lot.
How did you guys end up spending the $20,000 cash prize?We spent it in one night (laughs).
We hired a new touring manager
because we didn’t have one before.
Now we are on tour with four new
engineers and technicians. It works
better.
Artists like Iceland’s Sigur Ros and and France’s Manu Chao, have crossed language barri-ers. What’s the key to relating to an audience that doesn’t necessarily understand the lyrics whether it be English speaking Canada, German, Iceland, Denmark, or wherev-er your tour is taking you this fall?When you have a musical language.
It could not happen if I was play-
ing only with my guitar, we have a
Karkwa
band people can dance and sing to
when they see our show. It works
like that, I don’t know it’s hard to
explain in English. When you have
a musical language it is supposed
to work.
You were invited by Arcade Fire to play a huge, free, out-door show in Montreal to close out their world tour the night before you play here in Nelson. How did the show with Arcade Fire come to be?We met each other at the Juno
Awards in the spring and talked
together after. They invited us to
a private party and found that we
were on tour at the same time in
Europe so they invited us to open
for them in Paris this past sum-
mer which went very well and they
invited us to this show next week in
Montreal. It’s a great honour.
13 years, four albums into your career, how does it feel to playing smaller venues when you come out west? A great example of the contrast is Thursday night you are going to go from playing to tens of thousands of people in Montreal, and the next night a room that holds 300.
It’s very exciting. We go back to the
start. When we started 13 years
ago, it felt like that. We were play-
ing in front of a lot of people who
didn’t know we exist. When you
play in front of thousands of people
with Arcade Fire then the day after,
we don’t know what’s going to hap-
pen in Nelson, we’ve never been
there. It’s exciting just to live this
contrast and it’s a good thing for us.
Keeps our feet on the ground.
~Chad Hansen
Karkwa are one of the biggest bands in Quebec! After being the first Francophone band to win the prestigious Polar-is Prize last year (an award voted on by critics from across the country based on artistic merit, regardless of genre, sales, or record label)they were given exposure around the world as one of the country’s best bands. We talked with the Karkwa’s front man Louis Jean Cormier at the Montreal International Airport as they prepare to fly out west to kick off the bands next chapter.

Hollerado, Trying to Meet the Mayor
Page 8
Ontario band Hollerado’s big-gest claim to fame thus far (oth-er then a Juno nomination for Best New Band last year) has to be getting hand picked by Jack White to open for The Dead Weather. Getting over a million views for their incredible video Americanarama is a pretty nice feather as well. Now though the band has even loftier goals then playing shows with rock royalty and score huge hits, they want to meet Nelson mayor John Dooley. But has Mayor Dooley returned there
calls? “Let me check...ummm.... no, not at this time, though I can tell you that he has received a request form from us,” says bassist Dean Baxter. It’s all part of the band’s current tour, Meet The Mayor Tour, where their try-ing to meet every mayor in all the towns they play. “There’s already been some requests from mayors to stand in on stage, and those requests have been accepted, so whatever Mayor Dooley played in high school, bring it along to the show.”

Horoscopes For Your Entertainment...
Virgo (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)
There’s tension in the air, but there’s little you can do about it. The harsh atmosphere is in stark contrast to the frivolity you felt over the last several days. It seems you received some good news. Be patient. Avoid confron-tation. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
Libra (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23)
You might be in a financial jam right now. The stress of the situ-ation has you considering some radical solutions. Confide in a friend and see if he or she can help you find a more agreeable solu-tion. Perhaps a relative could give you a low-interest loan.Your lucky day this week will be Monday.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Don’t spread the good news too quickly. As exciting as it is, noth-ing is confirmed yet. Whatever the good news is, it’s exactly what the doctor prescribed to give your self-confidence a boost. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21)
If you receive a financial windfall, spend it wisely. Invested carefully, a small chunk of money can grow into a much larger one. Your lucky day this week will be Sunday.
Capricorn (Dec 22.- Jan. 20)
You’re energetic and enthusias-tic today and those around you respond favorably. Because you have so much energy, why not take on a new project? Your lucky day this week will be Friday.
Aquarius (Jan. 21- Feb. 19)
There’s tension all around you, so you’ll be happiest spending as much time by yourself as possible. If you must interact with people, keep your communication clear and concise. Seclusion is the only place where you’ll find peace.. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday.
Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
You’re ready for a change. As you grow older your interests broaden, and you’re considering pursu-ing some of these new interests in earnest. Go ahead and get started!Your lucky day this week will be Thursday.
Aries (Mar. 21- April 20)
You’ve never looked better! This should put a smile on your face! At work, you may be given re-sponsibilities beyond your usual job. Take care to do this spe-cial assignment well. If you do, other advancements are likely to follow. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.
Taurus (Apr. 21- may 21)
Sometimes a little indulgence has value far beyond its price. A bubble bath in the middle of the day, a spe-cial outfit you’ve wanted for a long time - these are a few of the ways you could perk up your spirits. You could use a boost. Your lucky day this week will be Thursday.
Gemini (May 22-June 21)
You feel as though you’ve turned a financial and professional corner. You exude confidence. You’re looking great! Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Who knew you were so talented? A creation done long ago sud-denly takes on a life of its own. Whatever the circumstances, you enjoy the recognition. Your lucky day this week will be Monday.
Leo (July 23-Aug 22)
Loving care is prescribed for some-one in your family. Offer a bowl of soup and some tea, but beyond that try and stay out of the way. Sometimes uninterrupted quiet is the best cure of all. You could use a bit of this yourself. Your lucky day this week will be Saturday.

This extraordinary case has attracted international attention because science itself seemed to be on trial, with the seven defen-dants apparently charged for fail-
ing to predict the magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck on the night of 6 April 2009.
