Soul foodJazz: a Louisiana

Kitchen

1180 Scheels Drive - 775.657.8659

Walk in to Jazz, a Louisiana Kitchen res-taurant in Sparks, and be transported into a world where it’s a Mardi Gras every day. Live jazz music fills the air, Mardi Gras beads are slung all around, and Creole and Cajun memorabilia liven up the walls. The large dining room is complete with a full bar and upper level. The ceilings are high, and the restaurant is noisy and busy. Jazz offers authentic New Orleans appetiz-ers including jambalaya, catfish nuggets, and alligator bites. The bites are thinly sliced strips of alligator, breaded and fried. The alligator is reminiscent of fried cala-mari, but slightly more tough and chewy. It is served with a lemon wedge and a spicy thousand island-like sauce. Entrees include common Cajun ingredients such as catfish, crawfish, Andouille sau-sage, and okra. Most entrees are served with veggies, dirty rice, and potato. The portions are not too big, and everything is cooked spicy or mild, depending on your preference. Full orders and “not full or-ders” are available. There are other en-trees for the not so adventurous eater, such as veggie burgers and French fries. Prices

are very reasonable, averaging around $12.00 for a full order and $8.00 for a not full order. Explanations of all Cajun terms and food are on the back of the extensive menu. Fifty cents is added to the price of every entrée when there is live music play-ing instead of charging a cover. For dessert, indulge in some sweet Chic-ory coffee with beignets, a New Orleans tradition. There are four beignets in an order, and they are lightly dusted with powdered sugar and served with crème Chantilly, a sweet and spiced whipped cream. For under $3.00, it is a perfect ending to your dinner. If you are looking for a taste of New Or-leans in Reno, Jazz is a good place to go if you’re looking for a reasonably priced casual dining experience.

RP Tip: It is easy to miss Jazz. Look for it on the west side of the new Sparks marina development.Text by Kim Tayour

Reno thai showdown

Thai food uses familiar ingredients such as cilantro, chilis,

basil, coconut milk, soy sauce, and ginger, but hits the

mouth with a dance of flavors unique among Asian cuisines.

Thai entrée names may daunt Reno diners, but armed with a

little knowledge anyone can order with confidence.

First, a term that commonly appears on menus is “Phad”

or “Pad”, meaning the dish was stir-fried at a high heat so

vegetables keep that delightful crispness and color. Sec-

ond, traditional Thai food can be mouth numbingly spicy, so

specify heat preference to the server. Finally, Reno is home

to some of the best Thai food at moderate prices, so get out

there and try some Thai.

A TASTE OF ThAI 6135 Lakeside Drive, #138If you’re looking for a classy, hole-in-the wall place to savor a romantic dinner, you’ve got to eat at A Taste of Thai. The half light and understated elegant décor lends to the calming ambience, perfect for winding down from a stressful day. Enjoy a cold bottle of Phuket (pronounced puu-ket) beer, a light brew named after the tropical Thai island of Phuket. This beer is perfect with some Ruby Curry with bamboo shoots and red bell peppers and a serving of long-grained jasmine steamed rice.

ISAN ThAI RESTAuRANT 2855 North McCarran Blvd., #108On the outside, it looks like a tiny café. But inside, the high ceilings, tile floor, woodsy accents and bright-colored textile hangings from the rafters create an expansive feel in the dining area. As a local favorite, it’s a fantastic place for a mellow meal or if you need to grab an aromatic lunch that’s shockingly quick. For something fast and filling, try strips of marinated beef in Gra Tiem Pik Tai (garlic and ground pep-percorn) in Isan’s special sauce.

GREEN PAPAyA 4786 Caughlin Parkway, #303When you first walk into the Green Papaya, one of the first things that stand out is the clean, cozy atmosphere and the friendly service. If you dine in, their portions tend to lean on the smaller side, so go ahead and order an appetizer. Like many Thai restaurants, the Green Papaya’s menu is vegetarian-friendly. If you do order meat, try the Phad Ped Nua, meaning stir-fried green beans and beef. The pieces of fork tender beef are smothered in an intensely flavorful chili sauce served with beans and red bell peppers.

Get diRty this st. PatRicK’s

Drinking beer and getting lucky.

What’s St. Patrick’s day without

a plan? Filthy McNastys seems like

the perfect place to put that plan into

action this year.

A clothesline strewn with naughty little (and some quite large) undergarments reaches from one end of the bar to the other. A pro-jection screen for Rock Band and other Wii tourneys lives on one half of the back wall – the other half is covered in books superglued to it. Other random things stick to the wall including a big (hopefully faux) horse head. It’s The Godfather meets Dublin meets the Beer Barrel. Owner Bryan McArdle actually has aspirations of turning Filthy’s into the next BB – can you say Lockdown, anyone?Luck is an interesting concept, especially if you’re bar owner Bryan McArdle. Some of us find it at the blackjack table. Others find it when they meet the one. McArdle has found it in being a bar owner. he’s had great luck with his first bar, the hookava hookah Lounge on West First Street, and is ready for even more good fortune with Filthy’s. So far, kismet’s done him some good.Filthy’s opens at 7 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays. During our visit, my little filthy

mcnasty and I each had a “Filthy Bomb.” It’s a shot made of at least six liquors (the bar-tender had me at “amaretto”), dropped into a pint of Sierra Nevada. Not too sweet but a lot of getting lucky power. Now I know how all those bras made it on the clothesline. And if I had thrown mine up there, I would have gotten my Filthy Bomb for free. The bartender recommended I wear a bunch of ugly bras, one on top of the other, the next time I visited the bar. Not a bad idea.This St. Patty’s Day – Tuesday, March 17 – is getting even dirtier at Filthy’s. McArdle plans to clear the lot behind the bar and fill it with live music. Inside, things are sure to get even grubbier with Filthy Bomb after Filthy Bomb. As I write this, I picture Chris-tina Aguilera dancing on Filthy’s bar: if you ain’t dirrty, you ain’t here to party. Cheesy? yes. hot? For sure. Just like Filthy’s.

RP Tip: Filthy McNastys Irish Bar is located at 1718 Holcomb Ave., just south of the Wells Avenue round-a-bout.By Katie Reil.

Bartender ProfilenathanieL GRaves

Strega Bar - 310 Arlington. S. Arlington Ave. - 775.348.9911

Nathaniel Graves describes himself as a long-time “gin-slinger” recently relocated from Portland, Oregon via the “gypsy” life-style that has taken him from NyC, Boston, LA, and a brief foray in Europe. Nathan is currently “slinging” gin at Reno’s neo-clas-sical art bar Strega. I recently caught up with him after a long “Strega” night.

BARTENDERS OFTEN OFFER A SPECIALTy DRINK OR CONCOCTION ThAT ThEy hAvE ThOuGhT uP ALONG ThE WAy-WhAT‘S ONE OF yOuRS?It’s an old 1800’s recipe that originated in Port-land that has not been properly concocted east of the Cascades and south of Mt. Shasta since. It’s presented with a bit of a fire show. If you are curious as to ordering it, it is called a Spanish Coffee.

yOu’vE BEEN AROuND ThE COuNTRy, ThE WORLD AND SEEN AND hEARD A LOT OF ThINGS. WhAT hAvE yOu PICKED uP ON ThE ROAD AND WhAT IS yOuR PhILOSOPhy ON DRINKING AND SERvING LIBATIONS?Drinking creates a social paradigm that people would not be normally be privy to. Drinking brings out the sexual appetite in people, it brings out the animal, whether that be good or bad, drinking brings out the “doppelganger” in people that they often need to get out. Bartending is 60% psychol-ogy and 40% multi-tasking and stamina. I want to help ease people through the feck-less journey of life a bit...

ThERE ARE SOME BARTENDERS ThAT ARE ThERE FOR LIFE. ThEN ThERE ARE OThER BARTENDERS ThAT ARE “SLINGING” TO GO ONTO SOMEThING ELSE. WhERE DO yOu

FIT IN ON ThIS?I want to make people happy with my mixological libations and finally find true love.

RP Tip: Spanish coffee is made with 151 Bacardi, two of these dreamy bev-erages, and you will be tipsy and caffeinated.

“I just wanna see someone from Reno succeed,” in hip-hop, Richie

Panelli told me about a year ago. he didn’t care who it was. he just insisted that there was so much talent in this city that someone from here has to make it soon.Since then, Panelli, who goes by Apprentice on the mic, has been keeping things low key. he hasn’t been doing many live shows, although his live set rivals that of any emcee in town. But Panelli has been putting in a lot of work behind the scenes. And this spring, all that work is going to pay off.he originally planned on releasing his sec-ond full-length album “The Red Balloon” last summer. Now, he plans on releasing it this month. his last album, “Misery Loves An Audience,” which earned him hundreds of local fans and considerable airtime on the underground hip-hop show The Bombshel-ter (102.9 fm Sundays, 10 p.m. – 1 a.m.), was released in the winter of 2005.“I look back and I’m really glad I didn’t re-lease it sooner,” he tells me over lunch a few weeks ago. “I’m really happy with the 12 tracks we put down.”The new album is airtight. And with beat making duties divided between the talented local producers Idol hands and Joey Golaw,

the album changes up enough to keep you from getting bored. “Same subject matter,” as his first album, Panelli says. “Just different sound.”A few of his new songs are already get-ting radio play, like the historically accurate “America.” The video to his 1950s-style song “Jilly Don’t Cry” is floating around youTube. As we finish lunch, Panelli tells me he plans on going all-out for his album re-lease party, which is March 21 at Beck’s Brew house, on the corner of Kings Row and McCarran in northwest Reno. Doors at 9 p.m. 21+, $5 cover.By Danny Riggs

I like to call him crazy legs: Tim Le-maire, the guitarist and vocalist of a local

band called Alldaydrive. he caught my eye immediately with his unique, consuming, charismatic stage presence. his upper torso stays unnervingly still as his feet shuffle chaotically all over the stage, sing-ing back and forth with the audience reverber-ating the mantra, “keep on keepin’ on baby.” Seven years in the local scene has done Alldaydrive good and has transformed the anti-establishment punk rockers into lyrically potent and melodic do-gooders. Nowadays, their goal is to provide the listener with more than just a good rock show, says bassist Logan Needham. Alldaydrive consist of four members: Tim, Logan, drummer Kevin Laster and guitarist Steve Lemaire (Tim’s brother). Notoriously, they have provided the crowd with a secondary reason for seeing their band, by attaching themselves to many fundraising causes including the local cam-paign “Spring Forward by Paying Forward” and the national cause “Invisible Children.”Catching up with Logan in the KRZQ studio left us talking about the local music scene at length including topics of getting out of Reno, what it means to be local, their experience in the Spring Forward by Paying Forward Cam-paign and even some favorite Reno hotspots

to patronize (i.e. Pneumatic Diner). Logan admitted the entire seven years has become a process of trial-and-error but has been nothing short of an enriching experience that he wouldn’t trade for the world. Even when it lands the band in places like Paso Robles California playing to a couple drunks who leave half way through their set. I asked what advice he would give to himself if he could go back in time six years, to when the band was only a year old. Wholeheart-edly, Logan said to just “stick with it ... it’s really a four-way marriage,” you have to work on it constantly.Fans can purchase their latest album, “The New Sounds of home” at www.myspace.com/alldaydrive Part of the proceeds go to Invisible Children. Catch up on the full interview at www.renopassport.com.By Melanie Flores

Melanie Flores, also known as Mel, is a DJ for 100.9 FM KRZQ. She can be heard from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday – Friday.

hip-hop and rock are kind of

like kissing cousins. Both come from sim-ilar roots and both are in the same mu-sical family. And every now and then they sneak off to ex-periment with each other, producing musical offspring that are sometimes great, some-times deformed and retarded.In the 1980s, we saw the first litter of the rock/hip-hop offspring: Beastie Boys, Run DMC and Aerosmith, and so on. It was a beautiful child of the two genres, and influ-enced both of them significantly.But then rock and hip-hop went their sepa-rate ways. hip-hop went towards gangster rap, and rock towards grunge. When they reunited in the mid-1990s, they must have been on drugs, because their baby came out fucked up.And a plague of horrible music—a disgrace to rock and hip-hop—was born: Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and the countless bands trying to copy their sound.A generation of music fans were irreversibly scarred.

Of course, something great came out of the 1990s rock/hip-hop gene pool as well: Sublime. Though late great lead singer Bradley Nowell never rapped in his music, his production was

largely influenced by hip-hop.And now, towards the end of the third de-cade of the on-again, off-again rock/hip-hop fling, local band Sol Sedano is picking up where Nowell left off.The band consists of five members: Nick Freeman, acoustic guitar and vocals, 23, John Becker, emcee, 19, Evan Mellinger, 24 vocals and electric guitar, Darryl Mullikin 20, drums and Chris Nixon, 28, on the bass.Simply put, Sol Sedano’s instrumentals sound like Sublime, but Freeman and Mellinger mix it up with their singing, and Becker raps in a soothing, mellow style to top it off. Sitting in on a band practice shows these guys have talent. Lets just hope they can take the legacy of rock/hip-hop experi-mentation back to its days of glory.By Danny Riggs

Neon is as ubiq-uitous in Northern Nevada as the Cut-throat trout and the Truckee River. Local artist Jeff Johnson has combined these native elements and more throughout his career as a “tube bender”. Besides the standard occu-pational hazards of shocks, burns and cuts, bending tubes looks like a lot of fun. What is the first step in the creation of a neon sign?

“you have to bom-bard it, and when you get it bom-barded and evacu-ated, then you put a little bit of the gas in and the neon gas. When the electricity goes back and forth, it hits electrons off the neon atoms like a little chain reac-tion going one way, going another, and it happens thirty times a second in your average neon sign.” Easier said than done.

It’s hard to believe that a former railroad conductor made the luminous shift to neon art. “It was the ex-wife’s idea.” She was reading an article in a magazine about members of her union who made the neon signs for Budweiser. “you’d be good at this,” she told him, and when he moved, he figured that Reno would be a good place to learn. Johnson describes his art as “Two thirds

artistic and one third mad scientist.” This explanation shines through in his idea to create an island stage in the river right in downtown Reno. “The stage will be there all sum-mer…our nonprofit is called Cutthroat Art, Inc. and we named it after the state fish.” The river stage will be open by the third week in June, when Johnson, along with

fellow organizers Diane Sion-Callen-der, Tova Ramos, Chad Sorg, Ann O’Lear and Esther Dunaway, will pres-ent the NadaDada Motel. This five-day art show will take place at the El Cortez and at the Townhouse, both on 2nd and Arling-ton, where artists rent motel rooms to display their work. The artists can rent rooms for around $140, and the

event is intended to be a fundraiser for breast cancer.Examples of John-son’s art neon can be found downtown in Brüka theatre: “Like the one of the girl shaped like Nevada and the little truck that says, ‘Reno or Bust.’” Another of Jeff’s fa-vorite pieces called Mines and Ranches can be seen at Ab-by’s highway Forty on 4th Street. “The whole town’s my

gallery. I want to see my work from Geiger Grade!”What does Jeff want the world to know about neon? “The benefits of neon that are green. Neon uses a lot less electricity because high voltage uses low amperage, so it’s less expensive to run. I can run sev-enty feet of fifteen millimeter tubing with the same juice that it takes to run a 100 watt bulb.”

“The old man made his way to the rou-

lette table with the aid of a walker. Took him about three minutes to park it and get his ass into a chair. There were no other play-ers at the time. Eventually he opened his wallet and came up with a C-note for the buy-in. I pushed the chips to him, then he leaned across the table for a word with me. he had about one inch of snot hanging from his nose . . . ” This is an excerpt from a story called “The Roulette Player” writ-ten by Chris Nolan.Chris Nolan, a card dealer at Cal-Neva, meets many characters like this old man. Some of whom find their way into his stories from time to time. Chris wrote an interesting book of short stories and poems entitled “Powerful Mojo.” But perhaps someone should put Chris in a story; he truly is a character. he lived most of his life in Orange County but from the sound of his accent, he has lived

many places. The folks at his work have even referred to him as a ‘Bukowski’ type. As a Cal-Neva dealer, writ-ing in his free time, Chris couldn’t be happier. When speaking of his present life situation, he simply said “I clap my hands at the end of the day and sleep well at night.” It’s a common prac-tice that at the end of every shift a dealer will clap his hands to show the cameras that he isn’t carrying any money, chips, or cards. When asked about his book, Chris said this: “Powerful Mojo is a book of life on earth and spiritual wanderings . . . No mercy is granted as the book journeys through ethereal gardens, carnivals, casinos

and fast food restaurants in a collection of short stories, poetry and vignettes. Lovers, spiritualists, gamblers and children walk through the pages in performances that will make you laugh and cry . . .” By Trever Crow

OpinionBudGet cRisis: education cutsBailout,

broken down

In February, President Obama signed a second

bailout stimulus of about $800 billion. Be-tween the two bailouts authorized by Congress and the White house

since late last year, the federal government has authorized about $1.5 trillion tax dollars to save the economy.

One-and-a-half trillion dollars. In other words, if you were to spend

$1 million dollars every hour, 24 hours a day, it would take you over 200 years to spend

$1.5 trillion dollars. Or, if the two bailouts were divided equally amongst every citizen in America, each person would re-ceive about $10,000.

It almost seems like Gov. Jim Gibbons has a grudge against higher education. Never mind the fact that he graduated from the university of Nevada, Reno. New numbers are coming out for proposed budget cuts every week. Columnists and journalists are in a frenzy over the economy—and students are livid over proposals to cut uNR’s core academic fund by nearly 50 percent.Fifty percent!Perhaps blame should not solely be placed on Gibbons. Perhaps so. It’s not my place to say. But I do think the people of Nevada—both voters and poli-ticians—need to reconsider the importance of Nevada’s higher education system.I mean, if the economy is as bad as it is now with a fairly educated population, what’s going to happen 20 years from now when the next generation has no marketable skills? We hope that the national economy

picks up and pray that tourists still feel a need to visit brothels and casinos? I think Nevadans can do better.The budget crisis is past the point of a simple fix. There is no Band-Aid. Instead, the state is looking at severing limbs from the university.Like the journalism school. Or the business school. Or the school of liberal arts.What would Nevada look like without journalists? Or busi-ness leaders? Or teachers?If the state cuts its higher edu-cation funding by such a large amount, Nevada will have fewer talented people in the years to come. Or, businesses will leave and the local economy will go practically dormant.The sheer proposal of cutting out a whole department from uNR seems absurd to me. It speaks volumes on the negative stereotypes facing Nevada. By Danny Riggs

On April 4, local show promoter

Daniel Hubbard will be throwing his

biggest concert yet: Speak Your Mind.

It’s a giant hip-hop festival headlined by

Sage Francis and featuring a dozen live

performances, along with break dancers

and live painting artists. Reno Passport

took some time to talk with Hubbard

about the project.

DO yOu BELIEvE hIP-hOP CAN ChANGE ThE LIvES OF yOuThS? DID IT DO SO FOR yOu AS A KID?yes, kids are going to do what they want and what they like. I believe in giving people chances and giving them outlets and let-ting them find their own comfortable path to make them happy … The artists not only focus on having fun with the music and being positive but they focus on real issues affecting real people. This show doesn’t cater to the poor or the rich, the smart or the dumb, black or white. It caters to any-one who wants to learn and is willing to use hip hop as the tool to help them learn.

hOW IMPORTANT IS ThE LOCAL ASPECT OF ALL ThIS?The most important part. The only reason for the show and the only way to make this event a success is the local aspect. I think Reno wants this just as much as Reno needs this. I wish I could have more of the local talent on the show but it takes the headliners that have already changed cities and masses of people to help make this show huGE and help the movement in Reno. A main goal for this show is to help the city of Reno and others out here widen their acceptance’s of hip hop, lose the bad stereo type and hopefully open doors for other promoters and hip hop artists out here in Reno.By Danny Riggs

fitness trainer profiledenveR whitLey enGaGe fitness

When I met personal trainer, Denver Whitley at Engage Fitness, I was very im-pressed with his approach-ability. Denver’s physique displays strength, power, definition and a “picture of health”. It’s obvious this man is in shape and is not only passionate about his fit-ness, but also determined to change the lives of others.Denver started working out at the age of 19 and found himself inspired by the results. he joined the Marines and held the role as squad leader, training his squad on a regular basis. he is also a martial arts instructor specializing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. It’s not just about lifting weights and cardio. he also focuses on strengthening the core as well as incorporating Plyometrics within his train-ing program. Plyometrics build speed and strength and core training focuses on overall muscle balance and prevents postural mis-alignment. Many trainers lack in this area.Denver believes that everyone has the po-tential to change their physical fitness and

develop the athlete within. his plan includes helping you achieve your goal, prevent-ing injury and education on proper health and nutrition. “his style of training is great as he keeps every workout interesting….. he’s con-scious of not building a house on a weak foundation. ..... he is also very knowledgeable but without ego” said Steve

Emmerich, one of Denver’s current clients.Denver trains most of his clients 2-3 days per week at Engage Fitness and is avail-able to help you create a personalized program to help you reach your goals. If you are looking to improve your fitness and take it to the next level then stop by or call Denver at Engage Fitness on Wedge Park-way off of the Mt.Rose highway. happy Fitness and…. “If you can visualize it, you can manifest it.”

viewers preparing to wit-ness the overt themes of

Sam Shepard’s The God of hell—superbly directed by Bruka Theatre’s Tom Plun-kett—please be advised: 1) The playwright intended this “black farce...as a take-off on Republican fascism;” 2) dis-play no fear of basements and bacon; and 3) chew on the comedic relief embedded within the play’s disturbing tone.Plunkett presents the show downstairs in the 44-seat Sub-Bruka performing space, effectively mirroring Shepard’s brilliant plot. The simple life of unassuming cheeseheads Emma and Frank—perfectly portrayed by real-life couple Sandra and Adam Neace—is thrown into upheaval by two unwelcome visitors: houseguest haynes (a capably-tweaked Scott Dundas), and a thoroughly creepy G-man, Welch, abhorrently brought to life by Jon Lutz. Emma’s obsessive plant watering and Frank’s favorite heifers cling tenaciously to the Wisconsin soil in the post-9/11 “patriotism” Shepard considers “an inch away from totalitarianism.”As the fall guy for Sept. 11 fallout, haynes is both tormented and tortured, telling Emma, “This is the way they operate.

They’re relentless!” In turn, the unscrupulous Welch—whose M.O. runs the dogma-to-propa-ganda spectrum; from cookie-baiting and flag-waving, to leading his pawn around by the penis, just some of Shepa-rd’s powerful symbolism—tells his minion, “We can do

whatever we want, buddy boy. haven’t you figured that out by now? We don’t have to answer to a soul!”In the post-Bush era, Shepard effectively kick-starts vital dialogue: “I don’t know what our government means anymore, do you?” Emma implores to Frank, while Welch declares to the gonad-incapacitated haynes, “We are gonna deliver you to your Manifest Destiny!”With flawless performances, Plunkett’s adept direction and plenty of political fodder from the past administration’s toxic, “trust-your-government” mentality, underdogs Frank, Emma and haynes incredulously il-lustrate the duplicity of democracy’s fragile dichotomy: “It’s at times like this that you remember how perfect the world was,” in-tones Frank, his acquiescence punctuated by the agent’s insanity.by Wishelle Banks
