Give a brother a home 

Oh, man . . . 

After Nov. 4, some Planet JH reporters and I were joking 

that in local elections, Jackson Hole residents voted 

on where they would like to see wealthy people build their 

homes – namely, in town, rather than in the county. Then, 

we stopped laughing, and pursed our lips, understanding 

the unlikelihood of any of us affording homes here. 

Here’s my reasoning: 

Affordable homes in the area are reaching above 

$300,000, and mostly tied to mitigation for free-market 

homes, which is not unlike buying seven cups of coffee 

for a free one. Even with increased density and maybe 

even four-story development, prices will continue to rise, 

and the “affordable” range will remain fractional, while 

many people I know accept pay cuts, compared to similar 

positions elsewhere (nursing comes to mind), in return 

for the quality of life JH affords. 

Now, I do have friends who have bought homes – some 

free-market, some affordable and the rest, over Teton Pass. 

And I’m confident all of them have made sacrifices that I’m 

not willing to make to buy, including the few members of our 

staff who drive an hour to work every day, weather permitting. 

In my view, being a part of a community means being 

around, and these are folks I would like to see when I’m 

getting a cup of coffee or walking around with my lady 

and our hairless pooch. 

One solution I’ve offered in the past is to launch a campaign 

for sustainable, high-wage jobs on par with the marketing 

strategies of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to attract affluent 

out-of-town snow-riders, such as California is doing now. 

Back to our joke about wealthy people buying homes. I 

think we suffer from the delusion that deciding where to 

center growth significantly 

Being apart determines how much housing 

will cost. Only unfet- 

of the 

tered growth can do that, if 

community for a short time, but then we 

means being lose open space and “com- 

around. munity character.” 

I wonder if we need to 

start looking at this differently. 

The Town Council 

and County Commissioners cannot tell landowners what 

to do with their land. But you know who can? The residents 

of Jackson Hole. It’s time for us to think progressively 

about what we need to do to protect our wild lands 

and house our children and workers. 

The highest-bidder philosophy is out, and it’s time we 

said that not everybody can buy a home here. We have no 

problem saying this to folks who can’t afford one, so what 

www.PlanetJH.com updated daily l Planet Jackson Hole l November 12 - 18, 2008 3 

From the Editor’s Desk 

OPINION by MATTHEW IRWIN 

about those who spend only a week here and inflate the 

market, who flip houses and inflate the market, who buy 

homes solely as rental properties and inflate the market? 

But, how do we keep the housing market from tanking? 

How do we appease landowners? This is the land of a 

thousand nonprofits – tons of fundraising ability – so let’s 

raise some money to dump into the housing market, level 

it off at actual affordability. Encourage the wealthy and 

influential of this valley to invest in its future, and tell 

newcomers they’ll have to do the same. 

What kind of place do you want to live? I ask this of all 

my friends. I’m not advocating for myself, but for folks who 

have lived here, have worked here and have contributed 

through volunteering and other ways to this community, 

but have not been able to buy homes. I’m not saying that 

no one should have a second home or a retirement home, 

nor am I saying that no one should own a rental home – 

that would kill the East Jackson rental market – but maybe 

second-home buyers should have to demonstrate their contributions 

(aside from floating the housing market), and 

maybe after a person has lived here for 8 or 10 years, he 

should have the option of buying it at a rate he can afford. 

Inhale. Exhale. 

Now, I’m ready. 

Please commence with the criticisms . . . PJH

The season to come 

Rumors and memories of last 

year’s 600-inch snow fall linger as 

this year’s early snow covers the 

mountains. These first few winter 

storms are responsible for laying the 

foundation for this season’s snowpack 

stability. 

Above 8,000 feet between six to 

24 inches of snow has accumulated. 

The constant moisture will keep 

snow crystals bound to each other 

and the ground and then bury them 

deep, maintaining stability. In opposition 

to the moisture we could see 

cold, clear nights, where the warm 

ground temperatures differ from the 

cold air temperatures, drying the 

snow and creating angled snow 

crystals or depth hoar. Buried depth 

hoar is the recipe for big avalanches 

ripping to the ground. Luckily, low 

pressure should remain through the 

week and hopefully all winter. 

While Snow King and Teton Village 

blow man-made snow during the 

cold nights, Mother Nature takes 

care of the upper elevations. Ski 

tracks have appeared on Telemark 

Bowl, Thanksgiving Bowl, Edelweiss, 

and even Twin Slides. “The skiing is 

good when it is grass not rocks 

below the new snow,” a New 

England transplant said. I plan on 

trying to wait patiently for a few 

more feet before sliding down hill. 

Until then, think snow.

LETTERS 

Too Much, Too Often 

When asked to comment on the election 

results, a man, in the crowd at 

Sen. McCain’s concession speech, was 

reported on radio news as saying, “I 

hope he doesn’t screw up too much.” I 

would add, “Too often.” 

Having lived under 11 presidents (voted 

for/against nine), I have 

observed: All have “screwed up;” most 

even often. Some even “too much;” and a 

few, often. The country is still here, even if 

not quite what I would like, so I guess none 

have “screwed up too much, too often.” 

A president can’t really do much on 

his/her own, so “too much, too 

often,” may not be possible. But all of us, 

of whatever party, in or out 

of any governing body, are responsible to 

help see that it isn’t.

Tears of Joy 

On the morning of November 4, I 

marked my ballot carefully and placed it 

into the voting machine. Tears welled up 

in my eyes and ran down my cheeks. 

The most amazing event of my lifetime 

has occurred. We now have a leader 

whose face reflects the true face of 

America. It is a face made of many different 

cultures, two different races and of a 

new generation. The face of America now 

mirrors the face of the world. 

With our new President comes freedom. 

Not freedom for some, but for all. For 

when you give freedom, it flows across the 

board. This election is also the voice 

within us saying, “Yes we can,” winning 

over all other voices. These old voices 

have been telling us that we were not good 

enough, that things wouldn’t work out, 

that things were not possible, that we were

will be a hard and expensive lesson to 

learn. 

So in this difficult period those that 

believe in growing the pie can continue 

to vote every day with their powerful 

spending habits. Those will be by far 

the most important votes you have the 

right to cast. You can chose very carefully 

where you spend your hard earned 

dollars and who you hire and have to 

potentially lay off if you are in the position 

to do so. 

And what about Wyoming’s new hated 

son, Gov. Dave Freudenthal? Isn’t it interesting 

that Pres Elect Obama, who was 

endorsed by Gov. Dave, decided to attack 

coal in the last moments of the election 

when Wyoming receives an incredible 

amount of tax revenues from coalmines? 

Wyoming is in the top 10 states in tax revenue 

per person and of course the average 

Wyoming voter (especially in Teton 

County) does not feel that tax burden 

because it is paid directly by our major 

mining industries. Those taxes are directly 

responsible for almost 1 billion dollars of 

schools’ facility spending approved and in 

progress. Gov. Dave, since Wyoming voters 

disagree with your endorsement wholeheartedly, 

it would be appropriate for you 

to resign immediately.

Generations, ideals collide with new president-elect 

Last Tuesday saw the triumph of first presidential candidate 

sponsored by Generation We over the last-ever candidate 

from the Greatest Generation. 

Okay, Sen. Obama is really a younger member of the Baby 

Boomer Generation, but the voters who got him elected were 

the young folks who call themselves Millennials or 

Generation We. 

Check out the video of these young folks at www.genwe.com. 

It may curl your gray hair. 

Such idealism. And perhaps, such naiveté, it could be said. 

Gosh, I can sort of remember what it felt like to be an idealist. 

It was a long time ago. But those were good feelings and 

great memories. 

So what can we expect from this new president? 

With courage and timing, the president-elect and Congress 

have inadvertently been handed the mealticket they have 

been looking for to rebuild the country. They could do this by 

capitalizing on the rapidly declining gasoline prices. 

It is still hard to believe that people paid $1.95 per gallon 

this week in Casper for unleaded regular gasoline. 

Americans four months ago would have done a back flip if 

someone could have promised them they could peg gas prices 

even as low as $2.95 per gallon. 

So, my suggestion is that if they had the courage, Sen. 

Obama and the Democrat Congress could impose a heinous 

$1 per gallon gas tax and then somehow put controls on gas 

prices to keep them in the under $3 range. If they did this, it 

could help give them the money they need to rebuild the 

country in the image they are proposing. 

Everyone assumed that their idealistic plans and programs 

would have to be postponed 

because there was no money left

gives them an opportunity that I 

personally would dread. Proponents would say that another 

benefit of high gas prices would be to promote conservation 

and facilitate the demise of the gas-guzzler. 

Am I advocating such a tax? No, it will not be good for 

Wyoming. But for the sake of the kind of country they want 

to build, well, the opportunity has come knocking on their 

doors. 

Only in America 

OPINION by BILL SNIFFIN 

Historians will mark this election in much bigger ways than 

gasoline prices, though. Sen. Obama’s election is a true 

example of The American Dream – that anyone can grow up 

and be anything he or she aspires to be in our great country. 

No president in our history has come as far as Sen. Obama. 

It makes me proud of our country. 

Perhaps Sen. Obama said it best: “For as long as I live, I 

will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story 

even possible.” 

Am I worried about our country with him at the helm? 

Heck yes, but he IS our new president. No doubt it will be a 

very interesting ride. 

According to the Gen-We website, the following is how this 

big group of folks describes themselves: 

“Millennials are the largest generation in American history. 

Born between 1978 and 2000, they are 95 million strong, 

compared to 78 million Baby Boomers. 

“They are independent—politically, socially, and philosophically—and 

they are spearheading a period of sweeping 

change in America and around the world.” 

As a group, these folks tend to believe they are inheriting a 

world much worse than the world inherited by their parents. 

But despite this, they tend to be an optimistic lot. 

It’s all in the video. Pretty impressive.PJH

Area worker enters Jackson’s Workforce Services office. 

The off-season dole 

FOR SOME VALLEY WORKERS, NOVEMBER IS 

A TIME TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT. 

by Ben Cannon 

Matthew Getz is a server at the Osteria restaurant in Teton 

illage, and he’s collecting unemployment. 

Like many of the businesses surrounding Jackson Hole 

ountain Resort, the high-end Italian eatery has temporarily 

huttered during this transitional time before the ski season 

egins. Many of the smaller hotels and B&Bs, as well as some 

estaurants throughout the valley, will close their doors at some 

oint between late October and early December, leavng 

some unsalaried employees without a source of 

ncome. 

Even some of the larger hotels that are part of luxuy 

lodging chains like the Four Seasons and 

mangani, for example, have gone dark for periodic 

pkeep and maintenance. 

While some valley workers use the off-season to 

ravel or visit home, others, like Getz, have come to 

ely on state unemployment benefits to carry them 

hrough the ephemeral moment of life without labor. 

This is not the first time Getz, who guides fly fishng 

in the summer, has received benefits from the 

tate unemployment system. He first filed for unemloyment 

benefits after his position with Cloudveil was relocated 

ut of Jackson Hole, when the locally founded company was 

estructured earlier this year. 

“At first, I was very apprehensive about doing it,” he said. “I 

hought it was like welfare. But then when I learned more about 

ollecting unemployment, that if you’re planning on sticking 

round here and intend to work again, it makes sense.” 

Workers who are laid off – which employees of a business that 

emporarily shuts down technically are – can file a claim with the 

yoming Department of Workforce Services, which has an 

ffice in Jackson. There, people filing for state unemployment 

enefits are connected through a direct phone line to a claims 

fficer at the state’s Casper office. 

Wyoming will dole out unemployment checks to qualified persons 

based on a complex formula that averages four of the last 

five fiscal quarters, according to various interviewees from within 

the state’s Workforce Services Department. The state caps 

unemployment benefits, however, at $415 per week, meaning a 

worker “who made a million dollars a year the past 10 years 

would still only get $415 a week” collecting unemployment benefits, 

one claims officer said. The state notifies a worker’s current 

or most recent employer to attain that employee’s working status. 

A worker who is fired for misconduct or tardiness might not qualify 

for unemployment benefits, or could qualify for benefits with 

other conditions. 

Wyoming requires individuals seeking unemployment to refile 

every two weeks, and will not mail checks out of the country, 

though some workers need only be available to return to work on 

short notice. 

Businesses help shoulder the costs of unemployment benefits 

through unemployment insurance with the state and pay more 

when employees receive those benefits. Gavin Fine, who co-owns 

Osteria as well as Q Roadhouse and Rendezvous Bistro, which 

will both remain open through the off-season, said the cost to his 

business in unemployment claims is noticeable, yet unavoidable 

in the valley’s seasonal visitor economy. 

“It’s a lot of money, but it’s part of doing business in Jackson 

Hole,” Fine said. “It’s part of what it is to live in a roller coaster 

resort town.” 

Fine said he plans to keep Osteria’s lights on during future 

shoulder seasons, beginning after the upcoming winter season. 

Despite a cyclical local economy, Teton County reports among 

the lowest unemployment rates in Wyoming, where unemployment 

remains well below the country’s unemployment average. 

In September, the most recent month from which verifiable 

workforce data is available, Teton County reported 2-percent 

unemployment. Wyoming reported an unemployment rate of 2.6 

percent across the state while the country saw unemployment 

above 6 percent, according to data from 

the state and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

For Teton County, that is a jump of one-half percent 

from the same time last year, but is not a signif- 

about 

icant increase, said Carola Cowan, a Wyoming-based 

research and planning supervisor with the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics. 

“It’s up a bit from last year, but 2 percent is still 

very low,” Cowan said. 

Getz And November historically sees a peak in unemployment 

in Teton County, though April, the month 

when Jackson Hole Mountain Resort closes for the 

season, has seen the highest unemployment rates in recent years. 

Teton County posted an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent in 

November last year, though it dropped a full percentage point in 

December, and further down again in January. Previous years saw 

similar employment trends. 

And while there is talk of other, non-seasonal local businesses 

already cutting down on jobs or scaling back on employee work 

hours amid troubling economic crisis, nationally, the valley’s 

only temporary employment placement office has not noticed a 

dramatic increase in unemployed workers looking for work. 

“This time of year, we normally see people who already have [a 

job] lined up for the winter season,” said Chris Daly of Jackson 

Temp Services. “I’d say it’s pretty average with what we’ve seen in 

the past.” PJH

RAPPER SAYS THAT ALLAH IS 

A WOMAN. 

by Henry Sweets 

Occasionally, I receive press 

releases and wonder if they ricocheted 

off some errant particle in 

the ether of cyberspace, and 

were redirected to my inbox by 

mistake. 

But the press release I 

received from Eric Kingsley was 

surely intended for me, so I could 

share it with you. Here is the 

lead: 

“American rap musician Eric 

Kingsley in his newest book, The 

Psalms of 

Moses, 

describes 

I forward 

his sacred 

marriage 

this 

to the trib- message 

al god of 

at the 

Arabs, 

whom he 

risk of 

insists is a religious 

Woman, 

persecution. 

and that 

he is having 

sex 

with Her,” 

the press 

release 

said. 

A 2005 

graduate 

from a 

Stanford Religious studies program, 

white rapper Kingsley has 

written his third book about 

Islam, and though I haven’t read 

it, I recommend it. The palpable 

rewards of making love to a god 

are surely too good to be withheld 

from everyday people like 

you. 

“Eric has said he may die for 

having this religious tenet, but 

would rather promote his works 

collectively known as The New 

Testament of Allah, than to keep 

this affair secret,” the press 

release said. 

I am forwarding along the message 

at the risk of being exposed 

to religious persecution so this 

new phenomenon can be 

explored by everyone. PJH

Wells Fargo dust settles 

LOCAL INDEPENDENT BANKS SEE INCREASED BUSINESS. 

by Henry Sweets 

As a local bank gave way to corporate 

iant, some customers were miffed. 

The fact that two other local banks are 

eeing an increase in accounts cannot be 

ntirely attributed to that dissatisfaction, 

ut it is a factor. 

Last month Wyoming Bancorp and 

ackson State Bank and Trust, which held 

bout 20,000 accounts in Jackson alone, 

etamorphosed into an arm of Wells 

argo. Long lines, lost or misplaced pinumbers 

and a flurry of logistical probems 

could not be avoided when changing 

housands of accounts from one operating 

ystem to another, President Pete Lawton 

aid. And once the switch from one sysem 

to another is complete, he believes 

he friction will be eliminated and cusomers 

will have better business options, 

ffered by the same local people. 

“I think what people will find is there 

re some additional products that [Wells 

argo] will offer that will be attractive to 

hem, but its going to take a while for peole 

to understand it, and see what those 

roducts are,” he said. 

In the meantime two local banks, Bank 

f Jackson Hole and Rocky Mountain 

ank, have both seen surges in new 

ccounts. Though representatives from 

hose banks didn’t attribute their success 

irectly to the Wells Fargo conversion, 

hey both said it was a factor. 

“Business is brisk,” Katie MacKenzie 

ice President of Marketing for RMB 

aid. “We’ve had quite a few people comng 

in and we’re opening our Jackson 

ranch on Broadway and Scott [in a 

eek], and a lot of people have said they 

ill wait and show up as soon as doors 

pen there.” 

MacKEnzie said that a number of the 

anks new customers have recently left 

ells Fargo. 

“We have a lot of people walking in 

ere and saying, ‘can you just call [Wells 

argo] and move all of my accounts over 

or me,” MacKenzie said. “People have 

een angry about how they’re screwing up 

ccounts or lost information or standing 

n line for two hours in their lobby.” 

Bank of Jackson Hole CEO Scott 

andell said that his bank has seen about 

,300 new accounts in the last two 

months. For a bank with between 12,000 

and 14,000 accounts, that is a significant 

increase in a customer base. Yandell said 

that Bank of Jackson Hole usually sees 

around 200 new accounts a month. 

“We certainly have seen a lot of new 

customers and a lot of new accounts,” 

Yandell said. “I’d like to think it’s a combination 

of the marketplace and our marketing, 

and certainly the change [from 

JSBT to Wells Fargo] has been one of the 

factors, I can’t deny that.” 

Yandell said the campaign hasn’t been 

intended to sway any customers away from 

other banks, but to say, “If your thinking 

about changing, here we are and look at 

us.” 

The advertisements, taken out in the 

News and Guide and Jackson Hole Daily, 

feature locals like the owners of Skinny 

Skis or Chinatown, with slogans like 

“We’re independent, so you can be too.” 

“What we’ve been trying to do is market 

the strengths of our Bank,” Yandell said. 

“We’ve been here a long time, we’re still 

giving that personal service and that’s 

what we’re trying to highlight; not that 

we’re different or better, but ‘this is who 

we are.’ That’s been our tact and I think 

that’s been showing some fruit.” 

But Wells Fargo is insisting that once 

the change is complete, they will be just 

as local as they were when the Tetons 

graced their debit cards. 

Lawton said that some of the corporate 

protocol that might have caused people to 

react – like having to show two forms of 

ID to get cash back on a check deposit – 

will be amended once the conversion 

process is over, he said. 

An email from Sharon Larson, Wells 

Fargo project manager, also highlighted a 

number of new products offered by the 

bank, and included the compelling argument 

that “customers will find that being 

able to bank at 3,300 locations and having 

access to 6,900 ATMs in 23 states is 

an advantage when traveling.” 

But the folks at Wells Fargo don’t want 

people to think they have to give up local 

flavor to have the financial products and 

convenience of banking around the region 

or country 

“Our goal is to have the big town business 

capabilities with the small town flavor,” 

Larson said. PJH

Still Undefeated 

MAYOR BARRON ON POST-ELECTION ISSUES. 

Q&A with Henry Sweets 

After seeing a write-in candidate put up a good fight 

arlier this month, Mayor Mark Barron responds to some 

f the proverbial fingers that were pointed at him by a 

amp that could be called anti-development. 

Planet Jackson Hole: Mike Lance won about 43 percent of 

he vote. He said that shows voters don’t like the amount of 

ommercial development and type of housing development 

hat has recently gone on in town. How do you respond? 

Mark Barron: Well I think the election clearly shows 

that the majority of people in the Town of Jackson have an 

appreciation of the policies that the Mayor and Council 

have been putting forth like smart-growth and infill in 

town instead of sprawl across the county. And I think they 

appreciate the direction the town has been going in. 

Are there some who disagree to that, absolutely, could 

DUDe 

WHere’s 

my Car? 

The Town of Jackson’s overnight 

parking ban has gone into effect. 

So, if you want to avoid all kinds 

of hassles, listen up! 

PARKING RESTRICTIONS 

From November 1st through April 15th, 

between 3am & 7am, it is illegal to park 

overnight on Jackson streets, including public 

parking lots, regardless of weather (rain 

or shine, snow or bikini.) Crews begin plowing 

at 3am. Parked cars on town streets make the 

job of keeping roads clear of snow more difficult. 

Consequently, cars left on town streets between 

3am & 7am will be ticketed and towed by Jackson 

police. If you’re looking for your wheels in the morning, 

contact the JPD at 733-1430, during normal working 

hours, or contact dispatch at 

733-2331 after 5 pm. 

I put it down to specific issues as Mike depicted? I think 

those may be in there, but no I can’t paint it with one 

broad brushstroke. 

PJH: OK, but can you respond to citizens who feel the 

town council and the mayor have not been judging each 

proposed development based on community benefit, and 

vote it up or down according to whether or not it’s beneficial 

to the community? 

MB: The town council has to operate within the land 

development regulations. 

The community defines community benefit and we’re 

in the process of doing that, amongst other goals, in the 

Comprehensive Plan review. In addition the community 

benefit is something that is defined and redefined with 

some regularity… 

There are times when individual pieces of LDR are subject 

to review, and I think the council is responding to that and 

perhaps not as quickly as people would like, but as much as we 

don’t love the pace of government sometimes, we would really 

not love it if it moved too quickly and missed something. 

PJH: Your opponent and his supporters pointed to the tunnel 

as a symbol of unchecked development? It might not be an 

issue anymore now that it is buried underground, but how do 

you respond to their opinion of the tunnel? 

MB: When you see a great big gaping hole on your town 

hill you have to gasp, and I definitely appreciate that … [but] 

many people saw the tunnel and had no awareness of the 

level of public participation that went into the planning of it. 

The tunnel was a direct response to the involvement of 

the neighbors up on Pine and Wister Drive who didn’t 

want all the traffic of [a neighborhood] that had been 

approved with 17 single families homes, so Dave Taylor 

looked at it with a new pair of glasses and said, ‘what 

about a tunnel’?” PJH 

SHOVELING 

REQUIREMENTS 

ADDITIONALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO 

REMIND PEOPLE: Town residents 

are responsible for 

keeping sidewalks shoveled. 

• The TOJ assists with 

snow removal in the 

downtown core and 

along Broadway. 

• Residents should not 

put their garbage cans 

out the night before, 

but rather after 7am 

on garbage days. 

• Please keep trash 

cans, cars, and other 

obstacles out of 

streets and off of 

curbs. This saves your 

property and makes the 

streets more clear of 

drifts and snow. 

• Residents are also 

encouraged to help

Alliance, Housing Authority to hold housing forum 

by Ben Cannon 

Two formidable valley entities – one

incongruous tasks – one to proote 

conservation of natural resources,

– will host a forum this week on balncing

From noon to 2 p.m., Friday at St.

Executive Director Tom McCabe; Craig 

Ferguson, a vice president with the 

prominent land planning firm Clarion 

Associates, which has consulted 

Jackson and Teton County through their 

parallel rewrites; and attorney Mark 

White with the progressive White and 

Smith Planning and Law Group. 

Topics are to include the impacts of 

higher mitigation rates for residential 

and commercial development, targeting 

the right balance of rental and ownership 

affordable housing, the long-term 

impacts of converting rental units to condominiums, 

and more. The public is 

encouraged to bring other topics and 

questions to the table and also to bring 

a lunch. 

The desire to preserve Jackson Hole’s 

wild character – identified as a top priority 

in public polling – has, at times, been 

put at odds with efforts to provide workforce 

housing, which has been pursued 

in part with controversial density bonuses 

that have prompted some developers 

to present projects considered by some 

to be too large in the context of the surrounding 

natural and manmade environments. 

Friday’s forum, which organizers have 

titled “Protecting Our Community:

The Patagoochi trend 

Jackson’s fashion scene is often easily dismissed and frequently stereotyped. When 

asked to define valley style, “function” and “comfort” are commonly heard from the mouths 

of locals and visitors. Outdoor brands like Patagonia, The North Face, Marmot and locally 

grown Cloudveil are mentioned often around town. 

Although half put to rest with the last of Clint Eastwood’s Western flicks, the other familiar 

Jackson get-up – a good ole cowboy hat, denim and cowboy boots –– is still spotted on 

two different sets of folks: the real-deal cowboys who work area ranches and out-of-town 

imitators. 

However, in an attempt to escape city life – as well as the confines of the suit-and-tie mainstream 

– new residents bring bits and pieces of their old lives and the styles to which 

they’ve become accustomed. These expats of American cubicle culture create an eclectic 

mélange of Jackson fashion, not unlike cosmopolitan cities, though harder to find.

Soldiers of Valley style 

Meet the faces of Jackson fashion, designers who diverge from one another 

in medium and style, each of them battling the doldrums of the mainstream. 

Like Calla Grimes – a Seattle city girl turned small-town boutique store manager 

who sews elegance, femininity and comfort into her own line, Calla; 

Meagan Schwartz – a Fresno transplant who set up shop inside her father’s 

carpenter studio to silkscreen scientific and organic drawings onto hoodies, 

Mike Parillo paints culture onto bros brahs 

Mike Parillo paints what he sees. And eventually, he sees 

people wearing what he paints. Here in the valley, his 

Volcom featured artist line is currently sold at the Boardroom 

and Jackson Treehouse. 

“It’s constantly changing,” Parillo said of his art that has 

also spanned the height of Lib Tech and Burton snowboards, 

including the signature Travis Rice boards, which Parillo can 

be spotted creating in That’s It, That’s All. 

Parillo’s paintings have been dispatched onto Volcom 

threads since the company’s beginnings in 1991 when Parillo 

was building some of the country’s first snowboard parks. 

His love for powder slashing sparked a lasting kinship with 

Calla Grimes: twisting the mountain-town mode 

the skate and snowboard company. 

The freshman Volcom movie The Garden used a Parillo 

painting - a sweeping purple swell set against a tribal sun - 

for the cover. 

Now, Parillo has plans to take the new body of work he 

will complete in the next two months and turn it into his own 

line of clothing. 

While a gig with Volcom helped Parillo realize his vocation, 

a friend aided in his relocation. 

In 1995, the soft-spoken L.A. native was designing outerwear 

for the Volcom team when he paid a visit to his longtime 

buddy, pro-snowboarder Brian Iguchi, who had recently 

moved to Jackson. 

“I went back to L.A. and my head was in the clouds,” 

Parillo said. 

Shortly after his visit, Parillo was shredding in the Tetons 

as a bona fide valley resident. 

Years before, when he was 16 and “living in a tent in the 

woods” Parillo met The Guch, who was not in the woods, but 

living the dream shacked up in a mail truck. 

“It was the beginning of everything,” Parillo said from his 

garage-turned-art-studio, adjacent to the home he now 

shares with Iguchi. 

The Guch, somewhat accidentally, bought Parillo his first 

If Jackson needs a little dressing up, Calla Grimes will expedite the makeover. Daughter of a 

seamstress and self-proclaimed “fabric snob,” Grimes responded to a lack of clothing choices 

with the boutique line, Calla. 

“I started making clothing for myself, not necessarily thinking I would make clothes for other 

people,” the 30-something fashionista admitted. “At the time, it was more because I couldn’t 

find anything I liked and I didn’t have a lot of money.” 

From conception to production, Grimes does it all. Once she settles on an idea, she threads a 

sewing machine, set upon a wooden desk inside Grimes’ East Jackson home, and begins the 

laborious process of transferring blueprints into wearable designs. 

A Spokane, Wash. native, Grimes ended a 10-year stint in Seattle for Jackson in February. 

Back in the birthplace of grunge (a nickname the city might never shake, as flannel shirts start 

creeping their way back into style), Grimes managed a fabric store and designed custom clothing 

for clients and boutiques. 

Although it was her husband Matt’s new graphic design gig at the Art Association and some 

Jackson-based relatives that instigated the couple’s relocation, Grimes said city life was losing 

its appeal. 

“For years, we had been feeling like Seattle was changing,” Grimes recalled. “Matt and I 

were both in this place where we weren’t really committed to the city anymore.” 

And so, like many valley transplants, one city’s loss became Jackson’s gain. Although her 

heart may not rest in a hectic metropolis now, Grimes’ clothing style is centered on chic, urbanbirthed 

fashion. Her designs – suitable for a 1940s femme fatale – are coupled with an air of 

urban sensibility, comfort and versatility. 

From tops and sweaters to skirts and dresses, Grimes’ wears are designed with a woman’s 

shapely figure in mind. 

“I love the woman’s body; I love big hips. I love a curvy, beautiful woman and I love dressing 

that.” 

One of her flattering, vintage-style, knee-length skirts sells in the boutique she manages – 

Luca V – which opened its doors in June.

with a small store nestled on Broadway Avenue whose fashions have been 

embraced all over the world, yet her business couldn’t have a more fitting

with Jackson’s snow and skate culture; and Mike Parillo, a painter 

designing custom patterns that color the facades of Volcom apparel. - RV 

set of acrylic paints when he was 21 because he 

“probably didn’t know what to get me for Christmas,” 

Parillo laughed. 

In the last five years, Parillo has created new pieces, 

specifically designed for his Volcom featured artist line. 

His bright abstract designs gloss the surface of jackets, 

hoodies, t-shirts, pants, board bags and accessories. 

“It was during a drawing session for Volcom,” Parillo 

recalled, “I sketched a bunch of stuff and it sat in the 

archives until one outerwear designer saw a sketch, and it 

was turned into a whole line.” 

Parillo has been living in Prague for the past 10 years 

where he “painted and just lived a different life.” In May, he 

had his homecoming in Jackson. 

The surroundings are what inspire Parillo along with his 

crew – he also paints portraits. Recently, Parillo painted the 

late snowboarder Jeff Anderson which will morph into an 

outerwear line for Volcom, winter of 2009. 

Parillo said whatever is transpiring in his life at the time 

is translated into his work. 

“When I was in L.A. I was doing a completely different thing. 

A lot of people didn’t like it, it was a lot darker,” he said. 

“The people here are way more inspiring than anywhere 

I’ve been.” 

are adorned with diverse 

clothing choices that are 

typically affordable and 

mainly chic and trendy. It’s 

the kind of shop where 

you’ll spot a bright emerald 

green Nikita snowboard 

jacket facing a beautiful 

charcoal cowl-neck tunic; a 

short cocktail dress staring 

down a knit, big-buttoned 

sweater. 

The back wall of the 

store is lined with shelves, 

housing mammoth wool 

hats, arm warmers, scarves 

and shoes that beckon to 

curious customers with the promise of style and warmth. 

With boutique owner Michele Esperti based out of Bozeman, Mont., Grimes is frequently stationed 

inside the store’s clothing oasis, trusted to oversee the majority of its operations. Esperti 

checks in about once a month and together, they carefully sift through a gamut of styles and 

trends to select clothing for the shop, jet setting to Ney York and then L.A. 

Esperti - a former manager of the now-defunct Jackson shop, The Root, and former owner of 

a few Bozeman boutiques - bases her buying on what she thinks will be a hit, while Grimes 

relies on her style prerogative to decide. “I tend to buy what I like,” Grimes admitted. 

As she feels out her new Cowboy State dwellings, Grimes has grown attune with the casual 

Jackson facade. But she vows to hold onto the foundations that define her style. 

“The clothing that I make I want to be sophisticated, pretty and comfortable all at the same 

time … and I think that is what I do best.”

Anomaly Farm: art-conscious shredding crew, fashion facilitators 

At Anomaly Farm, youthful perspective and lightheartedness 

reigns. 

Owen Ashley (22), Alex Yoder (19), Anders Berling (20) and 

brothers Mark (24) and Wade Dunstan (22), founded the clothing 

company slash shredding crew slash production house. 

“We want to make fine art more accessible,” Ashley said, adding, 

“We’re looking to create a friendlier paradigm of capitalism.” 

But they’re not too serious about the biz. “Our mission statement 

is to do whatever we want,” Ashley stated half-jokingly. 

All of the boys are Jackson natives, except Yoder who moved 

to the valley when he was 11, which still awards him some type 

of native-status. 

The name Anomaly - synonymous with peculiarity, rarity and 

unconformity - stemmed from the title of a ski and snowboard 

team the boys were on a few years back. 

“Mark had to make a design for the team and t-shirts,” Yoder 

explained. “That’s what sparked doing it ourselves.” 

Mark Dunstan primarily constructs most of the designs for 

silk screening – in his basement art studio - onto t-shirts, hoodies, 

hats, scarves, wallets, tote bags and flannels. 

Described by the crew as “organic and subtle,” Anomaly art- 

Michelle Julene blurs Old and New West styles 

“A cowgirl follows her own heart; she’s her 

own person,” explained designer Michelle 

Julene in a white bobcat-furred hat on a rainy 

Friday afternoon. 

Julene opened up shop on 185 West 

Broadway more than 14 years ago under the 

name, Cowboy Couture. 

Blink and you’ll miss her small storefront, 

sandwiched in the middle of the Sotheby’s 

building. But her styles have been spotted all 

over the globe on famous faces. Julene has 

dressed celebrities from the bandmates of 

Lynard Skynard and Travis Tritt to Britney 

Spears and Mackenzie Phillips. 

Her pieces - crafted for each individual client 

- come from deer and goat skin, lamb, coyote 

and suede, and they stray from traditional 

Western wear with vibrant colors, beadwork 

and precious stones that form designs, often 

inspired by nature. “These are my cuffs, they’re 

new, like Xena,” Julene said as she grasped a 

tanned leather cuff inlaid with bright turquoise 

stones. “You can feel the energy when you put 

them on.” 

work has spawned from each of the boys, as well as artists 

from Bellingham, Wash., Boulder, Co., and Vancouver, B.C. 

On a pluvial Sunday morning, Ashley and Yoder sat around 

at Mark Dunstan’s Fish Creek cabin in Wilson (his brother 

Wade is attending school in England, where the fam currently 

resides) while Mark was out “getting blueberries.” 

Indeed, he returned with a bag of frozen berries that were 

dumped and whipped into a yogurt-juice concoction. “My stuff is 

generally very strange,” Dunstan noted after polishing off the last 

of his smoothie. 

Anomaly clothing is stylish and peculiar; if you snag a closer 

look at some of the clothing, notice “little dudes that pop 

up” on various pieces. 

These enigmatic, tiny characters are what the boys call 

“anoraks.” Which are, traditionally, known as hooded pullover 

jackets, but have been adopted as “hooded dudes” by the 

Anomaly crew in much of their designs. 

The crew will also shoot a snowboarding flick this winter, 

which will be used as a free, promotional tool. Unlike last year, 

the boys said this time around the movie they make will be viewable 

thanks to a recent tripod purchase. 

The clothing is rooted not only in the progressive 

attitude of the region but also Native 

American spirit and Americana, she noted. 

But it took a while before the Casper cowgirl 

would realize her aspirations and find a permanent 

home in Jackson Hole. 

Growing up in Casper, Julene’s creative 

knack set her apart from her peers. 

“I’ve always been ahead of the norm and I’ve 

always designed my own vision,” said Julene, who 

won art scholarships out of school, including a theater 

scholarship to the University of Wyoming. 

But despite her enthusiasm for the arts, 

Julene was pointed in a different direction. Her 

Meagan Schwartz: the wheels of fashion; ants and air 

Just off of High School Road, an olive army ambulance – a relic from the ‘Nam era – sits outside 

an industrial space. Inside, Meagan Schwartz leans over a silk screen, carefully rolling thick 

paint onto its flat surface. 

Soaking up designs underneath the large, rectangular screen is a grey hoodie, transforming into 

a palette for monocycles that seem to bounce and roll around off of the sleeves. 

“They used to exist back in the day,” Schwartz said of the monocycle. “You would sit inside the 

wheel and pedal and the wheel would rotate around you.” 

Schwartz drew and transferred the designs onto a transparency, later affixing it to the screen – 

just a few of the steps involved in the silk screening process. 

The ambulance truck, along with the space, belongs to Schwartz’s father – a carpenter. About a 

year ago, he cleared out an area in his high-ceilinged workshop for Schwartz to begin her silk 

screening operation - a mainly self-taught endeavor – with a little help from one of Schwartz’s 

friends at High Range Design. 

“I was doing web and graphic design here in Jackson, but I’m not very good working with people,” 

said Schwartz of her independent nature. “I kinda like doing my own thing.” 

Studying graphic design in school, Schwartz said she was “exposed to many diverse art forms” 

that lead to her design techniques now. 

She has begun by branding a sure staple of Jackson Hole clothing – the integral hoodie. “I love 

them, I don’t think you can ever have too many hoodies,” she laughed. 

As her monocycle sketch gains recognition around the valley, Schwartz is busy concocting more 


parents felt her interests were merely 

a phase, she said. 

“I’m from a very traditional background; 

my dad was a school teacher; 

my mother a seamstress.” 

So Julene floated between subjects 

and eventually studied business. 

Not long after, she began to 

sell oil leases throughout the country 

for major oil companies. 

Her success in sales, Julene said, was in part 

because of her jovial personality. “Sales is such 

a unique kind of gift; people buy from you 

because they like you.” 

But a persistent voice continued to nag at 

her. So Julene abandoned the oil game after 

two years, returning to Casper where she began 

altering clothing. She would unearth interesting 

pieces from thrift stores, sewing, cutting and 

refreshing the fabric. 

After traveling to Santa Fe – where she lived 

for three years - Julene linked up with a crew of 

designers – beaders, patternmakers and seamstresses 

– forming Michelle of Santa Fe and 

ANDREW WYATT 

When asked about Jackson fashion, the crew agreed on a progressive 

fashion landscape looming on the horizon. They pointed 

to a more cultured group of valley high schoolers. 

“I think it’s really cool – when I was in high school nobody 

cared about fashion, music or art,” Ashley remembered, adding, 

“I don’t think we are providing the change necessarily, but it’s 

something we are a part of , that we’re allowed to do and feel 

comfortable doing. The tides are changing.” 

later Michelle of Wyoming, when she returned 

to the Cowboy State. Finally, she settled on 

Cowboy Couture here in the valley. 

Facing price tags upward of $2,800, her client 

base never seems discouraged. Julene noted, 

however, that her company is rooted in deeper 

elements than simply fashion and glitz. 

“Everything about my work is very spiritual,” 

she said, adding that she provides “a venue for 

artsists who would never have an opportunity 

to do what they do and make money from it.” 

The spirit of the West as well as her horse, 

Prince Zam – who has recently become very ill 

- have been perpetual inspiration for Julene. 

“It’s the longest relationship I’ve ever had,” she 

said of the mare she’s known for 17 years. 

As her cowboy boots stood planted on top of 

animal furs lining the shop’s flooring, Julene 

surveyed her jackets made of suede and 

leather, her pants inlaid with intricate designs 

comprised of jewels, stones and snakeskin and 

a few slickly arranged outfits. 

“I am an artist and this is my palette,” she 

said. 

plans. 

Already screening some other botany-birthed designs, 

the next print will be based upon the works of a 

researcher who poured plaster down an ant hill. After the 

plaster dried, the model displayed all of the burrowed 

corridors, chambers and rooms that the ant colony created 

deep beneath the earth. 

Schwartz has a few intangible ideas as well. One of 

which, involves nature’s most transparent element. “I 

went paragliding for the first time last week and the guy 

who took me out was discussing how air boils, so I’m 

going to try and do something to represent that also,” 

Schwartz explained. 

Recently registering her screen printing business as an 

LLC, Schwartz also sells her designs in Craft Gallery and 

on www.etsy.com – a Web site for independent artists to sling their creations. Her next items to 

add to the operation are t-shirts, hats, leg warmers, arm warmers and “skivvies.” 

Schwartz hopes her artsy threads will translate into images with interpretative meanings. “I like 

being able to picture something that’s been around for a while and then looking at it in a different 

way,” she said.

marks from the travel authority. The 2009 list also included two new

At the ‘Bottleneck,’ 28,000 feet

begins eating away at muscle tissue 

and grey matter. A climber at 

altitude is slow to think and react; 

he is dying. 

It was September 1978 when 

Rick Ridgeway became the first 

American to summit K2. That 

was before Mount Everest’s second-highest 

perch got its reputation 

as the toughest peak in the 

world to bag, but locals were 

already calling it “Savage 

Rick Ridgeway 

Mountain.” Without ropes or oxygen, 

his fingers blackened, and brittle with frostbite, he remembers 

asking himself, “Am I gonna live through this?” 

Ridgeway, now nearing 60, told the Ventura County Star 

(Camarillo, Calif.) he can no longer trust his body to such rigors. 

But he does remain impressively active. Ridgeway’s current pet 

project is the “Freedom to Roam” initiative, an effort to create 

wildlife corridors so many of the planet’s migratory animals can 

move around in their ancient rhythms to homelands now cut off 

by development. 

Ridgeway’s first effort toward the cause was to follow the Wyoming 

pronghorn 200 miles on foot, through the ‘Bottleneck’ near Daniel, 

Wyo., and into the Red Desert. Expect the two-week trek to be written 

up in National Geographic Adventure magazine soon.

Climber renegade; Tenn. tears; town and county 

papers across the country, including, unfortunately for Tennessee 

fans, GoVolsXtra and Rocky Top Talk. 

The Wyoming Cowboy football team has suffered through a dismal 

season this year, but the Pokes can look to one bright spot after they 

traveled to Tennessee as 26-point underdogs Saturday and upset the 

Volunteers 13-7. 

“I should be apologizing to the fans and everybody for this whole 

week coming about,” said the Vols’ lame duck coach Phillip Fulmer, 

who announced days earlier he would be leaving the team after this 

season.

“Trepidation,” is a way to describe area ski resorts as they brace for 

a ‘down’ season. The sour economy is expected to cut into ski travelers’ 

budgets and, if the weather doesn’t comply, things could get really 

dire. 

There may be some relief for air travelers. The Denver Post is 

reporting a Jackson Hole airfare special: Purchase three airline tickets 

to Jackson Hole, Wyo., and the third ticket is free. Restrictions 

apply, and the purchase must be made over the phone (888-838-

Recently reelected County Commissioner, Andy Schwartz told the 

Casper Star Tribune that a plan to consolidate town and county governments 

is again on the table. 

The Legislature’s Joint Interim Committee on Corporations, 

Elections and Political Subdivision will resume discussion of a reunification 

plan on Nov. 18 in Cheyenne. 

Schwartz said unification makes sense because Jackson is the only 

municipality in the county and contains roughly half the county’s 

population. “We really have a close relationship with [the town],” 

Schwartz said.

sanitation for third world countries. 

When asked about his most memorable place, the cyclist gave up 

the love.“If I had to pick a favorite place it would be the Tetons, they 

are simply incredible. I love mountains and these made me feel so 

small as I stood at the base,” he told the Examiner. PJH

Why chain yourself to a bulldozer when 

you can just wear a crazy hat instead? 

Valley Advocates for Responsible 

Development have been fighting for principles 

of “Smart Growth” in Teton Valley 

since 2001 and their big event of the 

year, the Mad Hatter Ball, takes place 

Friday. 

The party is a time for folks to meet and 

greet, and show their creative sides. 

Food and drink will be provided, as well 

as cash prizes for the “Most Inspired 

Hat” and “Best Vision of Growth Hat.” 

“People tend to show up with all sorts 

of outrageous and creative hats they’ve 

designed,” said Chris Lundberg, an 

event organizer. “They usually have a 

land-use theme, since our group is all 

about responsible land use advocacy.” 

Lundberg said this year has been a 

successful one for VARD for a few reasons, 

including a new PUD (Planned Use 

Development) tool that they hope will be 

approved by the County Commission the 

day before the Ball. 

Art, beef, wine, golf packages, lift tickets 

and a host of other items will be auctioned 

off during the evening. 

The party begins at 6 p.m., at the Milk 

Creek Grill in Driggs. Tickets are $25 per 

person or $40 per couple.

album review 

It is common knowledge that James Taylor lived part of his life, and wrote most of his iconic 

folk hits in a drug induced haze. Luckily, being the super star he is, Taylor was still able to produce 

offspring. James' son, Benjamin James, is now indulging his own disires in the world of 

music. The Legend Of Kung Folk Part 1 (The Killing Bite) is the latest from Taylor The Younger 

(to use the parlance of this past political season) and he follows close in his father's footsteps 

with a classic folk sound and intimate lyrics. You can hear the sexy first single "Wicked Way" 

and more on your channel for new music in the valley, KMTN. - Jack Murray

CDREVIEWS 

Sketches of MD: Live at the Iridium 

featuring Pharoah Sanders 

KENNY GARRETT 

3.5 out of 5 

Miles Davis reinvented jazz five times, and while the same can’t 

be said of Kenny Garrett, who played tenor sax in the trumpet titan’s 

last band between 1987 and 1991, his 2008 live release recorded at the NYC club, 

Iridium, and released on the rising label Mack Avenue, proves him a musical polyglot. 

Without actually imitating, Garrett channels the spirit of John Coltrane on “The Ring,” 

a 14-minute workout in which he first refers to the Charles Mingus opus “Good-Bye 

Pork Pie Hat,” before unmistakably invoking Trane’s “A Love Supreme,” and his mentor, 

Davis, on the title track. 

Funky grooves dominate much of this disc – a cool funk, not nearly as aloof as Miles 

might have played it, but certainly not as searing and explosive as what Garrett devotees 

have come to expect. Then of course there’s the great Pharoah Sanders sitting in 

and offering some exciting blasts. The energy is high and positive throughout, reaching 

its peak with the closer, “Happy People,” though the moods and keys and timbres 

are not nearly as varied as on Garrett’s past studio work. 

But, like I said, Garrett doesn’t limit himself and isn’t just going through the motion.

X0X0, PANDA AND THE 

NEW KID REVIVAL 

HER SPACE HOLIDAY 

4 out of 5 

Her Space Holiday is a guy who plays guitar and sings stories 

about how screwed up the world is and how much fun people 

should be having because the world is screwed up, and if they spend any time worrying 

about that then they are really missing out. 

He is the kind of guy you would like to meet on a train in another country, or on a 

street corner when you are new to a town and need to find good people, good things 

and good times; he has worldly wisdom. 

He sings quite frankly about love, work, survival and the innocence and hugeness of 

young kids exploring romance. XOXO, Panda and the New Kid Revival is like a call to be 

young again, to regain your imagination and savoring of life. “If life is one big symphony, 

don’t play your part too cautiously, the crowd will love you for being brave,” he sings 

on “The Day In Review.” 

But he still sings with the abruptness - the abrasive honesty - of a punk rocker, which 

makes his message “legit,” or palatable to those who like anything uplifting to have a 

dark edge somewhere on it. - Henry Sweets 

Who is this Man? 

JOHN ROBINSON 

5 out of 5 

Half-dozing off around 2 a.m., Tuesday morning, I stumbled upon 

this disc. My eyes and ears popped to the jazzy basslines and 

poignant lyrics, much like they did when I discovered both of the 

artists who have full reign over this work – underground hip-hop producer/emcee M.F. 

Doom and Little Sci of Scienz of Life. 

Doom produces the beats throughout the entire album, injecting old-school vocal 

samples that have either been extracted from a 1930s detective flick, an 80s afterschool 

special or a sensational newscast. 

Doom upholds his rep for narrative production; when the album concludes it’s like 

you’ve just completed the last chapter of a book that somehow, had your head bopping 

the whole time. 

Little Sci’s stirring lyrics and lucid, gripping cadences tell the story of John Robinson 

– a kat revolting against major label programmers and a society deaf to the poetic 

prowess, culture and energy that lies in underground hip-hop. 

This album is geared for groove-heads, introspective types and, especially, for anyone 

who thinks they don’t dig hip-hop. 

– Robyn Vincent

Phil Round: valley music staple, mentor 

Singer, guitarist, musician, teacher 

and bandleader Phil Round is one of 

Jackson’s longest standing professional 

musicians and teachers, though largely 

unknown to the younger generation of 

players in and around the valley. 

From 1986 to 1996, Round toured 

with internationally acclaimed, 

Jackson-grown bluegrass band, Loose 

Ties. The band went on to produce five 

CDs, perform at Telluride Bluegrass 

Festival six times (winning their Best 

New Band competition), and placed 

second to Alison Krauss and Union 

Station at the Best New Acoustic 

Group competition in Louisville, 

Kentucky. 

After a decade of touring and recording, 

Round moved from the public sector 

to the private. He formed the Snake 

River Band and began performing both 

solo and with his band at weddings, 

corporate events, and private parties. 

He also performs regularly as a soloist 

in the lobby of Amangani Hotel. 

Planet Jackson Hole: Who’s in the 

Snake River Band and what’s it all 

about? 

Phil Round: The core of the band is 

largely myself, Ed Domer & Derrik 

Hufsmith, but even those players could 

change. Depending upon whether we’re 

more of a jazz standard band, or an 

R&B band, or a country band … we have 

a huge repertoire. We can cover 

upwards of 1,500 songs from all kinds 

of different genres, from Lyle Lovett and 

Frank Sinatra, to Bossa Novas to Sting. 

The band can morph into different entities. 

Sometimes I’ll fly people in from 

Nashville if it’s called for. 

PJH: You mentioned that a lot of people 

in Jackson might not know of the 

Snake River Band. If people were interested 

in seeing you guys play after they 

read this, would there be a public 

opportunity? 

PR: No, we don’t play publicly, and 

that’s why we’re below the radar. 

Obviously, the wages that are paid for 

club gigs … first of all, we don’t want to 

play in clubs. Really, I have no interest 

in justifying my existence through alcohol 

sales, and that’s what you have to 

do in the club scene. And that’s a necessary 

evil. We’ve all played a ton of 

club dates over the years and that’s 

what all musicians have to do, but it’s a 

pretty nice luxury, or payoff, after years 

Phil Round 

of doing this where you don’t have to 

justify [it that way]. And hey, I’m not 

some religious fundamentalist, but the 

people who are deciding whether musicians 

get to play are alcohol salesmen. 

PJH: I hear what you’re saying. What 

about a venue that doesn’t necessarily 

bank on alcohol sales, like the Center 

Theater? 

PR: Well, that’s a possibility, but 

we’re not a concert band. I was in a 

concert band for many years, the Loose 

Ties band. The Snake River Band is a 

different entity. It’s a party band and a 

dance band. It isn’t designed for the 

generation that populates clubs right 

now. That’s probably the one demographic 

that we don’t handle so well 

[laughs]. I’ve written some stuff, but our 

clients aren’t interested in hearing original 

material, they’re interested in hearing 

stuff they recognize. My interest is 

in doing this material … well … not 

exactly transcribed, but playing these 

covers at a high enough integrity where 

its not only recognizable, but impressive 

to people. Playing live is necessarily 

imperfect … and it can be an adrenal 

rush. I like that level of excitement. 

PJH: How do you balance teaching 

with performing live? 

PR: I usually don’t teach on weekend 

days when I’m performing, but sometimes 

it overlaps. Sometimes, I might be 

the only singer and singing for four

Aaron Davis 

hours straight, which didn’t used to be 

a big deal, but as I get older, singing is 

a pretty physical thing … a lot more 

physically taxing than playing. Even 

though the Amangani is a mellow scene 

and un-amplified, it actually requires 

more of me as a singer than when I’m 

playing with a band through a good 

sound system. You have to fill the room 

with just your lungs. 

PJH: What drew you to teaching 

music in the first place? 

PR: What drew me to teaching 

[laughs] … was the necessity to make 

a living. Of course I wouldn’t have had 

the confidence to be a teacher if I had 

not attended the Berklee College of 

Music. Though I didn’t go for very 

long, I learned so much in my time 

there that gave me confidence to do a 

good job. It’s always been hard on 

some level to make a living as a musician. 

My philosophy is that you want to 

be able to do a lot of different things, 

not be a one-trick pony. One of those 

is teaching. I didn’t really aspire to be 

a teacher, but once I started, you realize 

that you are constantly learning 

when you are teaching. You have these 

epiphanies in the middle of explaining 

something and all of a sudden your 

playing a chord you’ve never played in 

your life before. 

PJH: What advice would you give to 

young musicians who are considering a 

career in the music business? 

PR: The thing I tell musicians that 

work with me and for me is that you really 

gotta have your act together. No matter 

how talented you are and how much 

people might love what you do, you are 

an independent businessperson. On 

some level, its not any different than running 

a general store or a gas station. 

The very best players in Nashville, if 

they’re hard to work with, they don’t 

work. You can’t play well enough to overcome 

being an asshole. Eventually you’ll 

get kicked out of the band or people 

won’t want to work with ya. 

It’s a joke, but just because you’re a 

guitar player doesn’t mean you shouldn’t 

be a musician. You should be able 

to communicate and speak the same 

language to other musicians. If you’re 

mammothly talented with wood, you 

don’t deprive yourself from having a 

chop saw or a really nice plane as a 

carpenter. PJH

THEGOODS 

ANDREW WYATT 

A sign spotted in the top of 

Movieworks Cinema inspired the 

name of high school indie-rock band 

Rotating Superstructure. The quartet 

will be the featured act at this 

week’s Friday Live concert. Talking 

with 17-year-old drummer Shawn 

Fleming, I quickly realize that these 

guys live to play music, and they will 

for years to come. 

“We practice quite a bit … about 

every weekday night for a couple of 

hours and usually Saturdays,” 

Fleming said. 

Other band members include 

Shawn’s brother Kyle Fleming on 

guitar, bassist Bridger Huhn, and 

Victor Pokorny on guitar, piano, and 

vocals, as well as being the primary 

songwriter. With influences ranging 

from folk to indie music, these four 

players listen to everything from 

Radiohead to Bob Dylan, Modest 

Mouse, MGMT, My Morning Jacket, 

and The Virgins. With their high 

school careers coming to an end, 

thoughts are wandering beyond 

Jackson Hole. 

“We’ve been talking about that a 

lot,” Fleming said. “We might move to 

somewhere like Seattle for a couple of 

years … try to tour and play as much 

as possible. If the band doesn’t work 

out, maybe music school or be a studio 

musician.” 

The band performed at last summer’s 

Music in the Hole to thousands 

of people, and also had gigs around 

town at galleries and the art fair. Next 

month, they will branch out to perform 

in Salt Lake City, and to record 

10 original tunes for their upcoming 

release, Fat Chicks with Party Hats. 

Jackson Hole Music Experience 

will host Friday Live! featuring 

Rotating Superstructure 5 to 7 p.m. 

at Jackson Hole High School. 

Admission is $5, which includes one 

free raffle ticket for an electric guitar 

or an iPod. Pizza and drinks will be 

for sale. Visit www.JHME.org or

Hot dog turf wars 

I’ve mused before about the overall dearth of lateight 

eating options in Jackson Hole, where a couple of 

4-hour convenience stores and a chain fast food outet 

or two are, rather unfortunately, the only places to 

rab a bite after 11 p.m. The limitation of anything 

eyond vulgar processed foods, only reasonably edible 

o those who have been celebrating, is that Jackson 

oesn’t have much of a late-night eating culture to 

peak of. And we shouldn’t think of late-night food as 

he domain solely of young people imbibing too much 

nd eating something likely to give them the bilious 

umors the morning after. On a recent episode of Iron 

hef America, chef Bobby Flay who has opened some 

enerable restaurants in the more sophisticated 

merican cities, served pan seared foie gras over a 

ariation of French toast, calling it “a 3 a.m. meal.” 

Last weekend, following the premiere of the locally 

ade ski and snowboard film 600”, I witnessed somehing 

for the first time in Jackson Hole: a rogue hot 

og ‘cart’ selling freshly grilled hotdogs to hungry 

près midnight revelers. I won’t mention where it 

ccurred, or who exactly was behind it, but by the end

of the night, the curbside entrepreneurs had sold or

dog on that evening, but on the 

way home the following night I 

had a taxi cab return to the 

same corner. There we found 

Hole Wieners had rolled their 

business a few feet away, into the side of the street. 

In the yard where they had been the night previous 

stood a different grill – an upstart rival that had boot- 

HEAD 

ed them off the property to get in on the late-night hot 

dog action for themselves. Feeling some loyalty to 

Hole Wieners as originators of the idea, I ignored the 

rival business, which was still fumbling to light their 

grill not 10 feet away. Were my phone not dead, I 

would have sent a text message to some friends 

announcing, “Hot dog turf wars!” followed by the 

appropriate street coordinates. 

You might be thinking: what does a not-entirely-legal 

hotdog vendor have to do with foie gras over French 

toast as a viable late meal? Well not much, clearly. But 

give me a charred all beef frank over one that has 

spun innumerable times over one of those greasy dog 

and taquito rollers found at nearly every convenience 

store in America. And how about the local color of buying 

a dog from a couple of industrious young men who 

likely will get shut down before all is said and done? 

I hope to have more to say next week about late 

night eating, when I return from a few days in New 

York City. Hopefully, I can explore both a rarified 

veneer and the dark underbelly of late eating without 

getting mugged. PJH

Shannon Plumb: human collection 

When we walked out of Shannon Plumb’s film 

screening Wednesday at the Center for the Arts, we 

felt awkward. 

We had just watched a one-hour screening of a 

series of Plumb’s short films and agreed that we felt 

like one of her characters: subject to the silence-shattering 

sound effects and exaggerated movements that 

she uses to describe personalities. We were squirming 

with an acute awareness of our actions - like 

some form of the heebie-jeebies - but it felt good and 

we felt comfortable. 

Clowning has been around for quite sometime, and 

whether it comes from Shakespeare or the Neville 

brothers (“All the world’s a stage” or “Everybody 

plays the fool”) we all know that we are often stuck in 

poses, thinly veiling insecurities, urges or alter-egos. 

In many traditions (clowning is said to be found in 

nearly every culture), it is a therapeutic way to stop 

taking yourself too seriously. And Plumb’s work 

explores those unnecessary poses, the physical language 

that gives our selves away – like poker tells – 

and exposes the human imperfections that make us 

who we are. 

Plumb wears subdued clothing, no makeup and 

holds herself with reservation. Her energy and bottled-up 

observations are unleashed in her films, 

where she masquerades as any one of a spectrum of 

people – exploring sub-cultures and “types” that fascinate 

her. 

Her posture and physicality change with whatever 

wig or mustache she wears, and her face remains 

stoic, so that her movements – holding a shot-put, 

announcing a sporting event, eating a sandwich or 

brushing teeth – have a blank canvas to jump from. 

In her films she plays each role, films them seperately 

on super-8 film and pastes them together on a 

computer. She began making the films in 2001, after 

a friend gave her a super 8 camera, and she immediately 

could tell it was the best way for her to tell stories. 

“I’m really at the beginning with this, of exploring 

what I’m doing because it was kind of a little explosion 

when I first figured out what my formula was,”

she said. “But through all of them, it’s always been 

comedy,” 

Her recent success as a filmmaker makes sense. 

She has been watching from the vantage point of a 

shy, but astute, observer. 

Now, behind the camera, her malleable facial features 

and advanced vocabulary of lithe movements 

allow her to comment on the people she has been 

silently watching, and seeing through their language 

of movement. Living in New York City, she has plenty 

of fodder for new material. 

“In the city, there are so many instances where you 

are surrounded by so many people and there is no dia- 

logue,” she said. “Like on the subway, the only way to 

tell what people are saying is their body, and their 

body language. In the parks, it’s people who are alone 

a lot, and their interaction is with their newspaper or 

their cup of coffee or the squirrels that they’re feeding. 

It’s those silent things that I think say so much, and are 

universal too. That’s the thing I love about it; any person 

from any country can understand, or relate to the 

comedy somehow.” 

In relating to that comedy, people are not just laughing 

at those universal “types.” Plumb’s choice of characters 

– track stars, a new mother, a young couple 

sharing a bathroom – gives enough fodder for every-

one to be laughing at themselves. 

She is naturally suited for physical humor. Not only 

is Plumb blessed with long limbs and a body capable 

of gestural comedy, but she also has a unique perception 

of physicality, as well as an internal awkwardness 

that, she says, is often the source of her humor. 

“I always think that I have these relationships with 

inanimate objects, and I have since I was a little girl,” 

she said. “Sometimes, I can tell how [a day of filming] 

is going to be, by the way I interact with the objects 

around me. And so to me they become real, they 

become animated, they become like little people or 

something, so there’s an imaginary element that goes 

back to when I was a little girl.” 

Plumb said that if she shows up to her studio and 

had spilled coffee all over herself, then she knows 

she’ll be funny that day. 

Imperfection in general is at the core of her work, 

and sometimes she kind of picks on ridiculous people 

who seem the most perfect, and are furthest from it.

Gallery with some of the paper wigs and costumes 

used in it, takes aim at the fashion industry. 

“With the fashion world it was obvious that there 

was an outer layer; superficiality,” she said. “But 

underneath, there’s just so much more going on. I 

hate to generalize or anything, but the models I’ve 

met, they look beautiful, but what’s behind it is broken 

or hollow or sad or … repressed, you know. And a lot 

of times in that world, people don’t want you to have 

a smart idea. They just want you to stand there.” 

But Plumb is, to a degree, cursed by great empathy. 

Often that empathy is what is really behind her humor 

– two people aware of one another’s situation, talking 

about it with their movements, but not stating the obvious 

with actual words. 

The point is to take those interactions lightly, for 

what they are, and not beat yourself up about it, she 

said. 

“There are so many times I know when I say something 

to somebody and afterwards I’m like, ‘oh man,’ 

you feel so ashamed or something,” she said. “I

guess I’d like for people to remember something that 

they did and be able to laugh at that, instead of feeling 

that guilt about making a mistake.” PJH

Though there are many roads that 

lead to fitness, a factor that may help 

you stay the course is putting fun in 

your fitness regimen. Finding a routine 

that you enjoy ensures that you’ll look 

forward to exercising and increases the 

chance that you’ll stick with it for the 

long term. 

Fun means different things to different 

people though, and there are as many 

ways to get fit as there are individuals. 

Spending half an hour watching a TV 

screen while sweating to a programmed 

hill climb on a fitness rider might fulfill 

one person, while another may find it 

robotic.

people

by the 

suggestion 

of a 

trail run 

on a cool

day and 

others 

crave a 

healthy 

dose of 

weight 

training in 

an indoor gym. Some might ask, how 

about a good game of basketball or two 

hours of tennis? Or, if you’re like me, 

you’ll just want to mix it up. 

This past week I ice-skated, worked 

out in a fitness center, ran about a half 

a mile with my husky, practiced yoga, 

and took a long walk in the park with a 

good friend. All of which kept me active 

and satisfied. 

One of my favorite ways to exercise is 

working with a personal trainer. A 

month ago, my motivation to exercise 

had reached a stand still, but thanks to 

advanced personal trainer Stacy Fisher 

of Fisher Fitness, I was able to get my 

stagnant energy flowing. 

Fisher recently opened Fisher 

Fitness in the Cloudveil building on 

Pearl Street along with other personal 

trainers and holistic health practitioners. 

I wanted to try it out, but I came up 

with every excuse to not meet with 

Fisher. Once I did, it was fun! The best 

part was it got me moving again.

balls, weights, and floor mats – 

essentially, everything you need to 

train. 

Fisher’s signature blonde ponytail 

and bright blue eyes soften her athletic 

stature, and she is welcoming and congenial. 

I’ve trained with her before, so 

she knew where I needed the most 

guidance and focus. By meeting me 

where I was while keeping the moves 

playful, I was reminded of how good it

freely 

and powerfully.

our bodies 

are 

designed 

to move 

at an 

optimal 

level with 

ease and 

comfort, 

but many 

of us forget the inherent capacity of our 

bodies. Fisher teaches movements that 

are transferable to our daily lives. 

Working with Fisher, even on your 

worst day, will make you feel like it was 

your best day. When I finished the session, 

I felt lighter, looser and more 

energized and confident. I was relieved 

that I didn’t have to sweat blood like I 

feared. I enjoyed the exercises she 

taught me so much, I now practice 

them regularly. 

If you ever want to try personal training, 

it’s easy to get started with Fisher. 

She offers a 55-minute initial consultation 

for free as well as a “Starter 

Package” for new clients, which 

includes the initial consultation plus 

three private training sessions for 

$175. Fisher embraces the philosophy 

of a holistic approach, focusing on 

highly functional strength development,

DAVID STUBBS

Hog Island elite 

Alice, my Republican lover, came over 

ast night in a rage. “You voted for 

bama,” she accused. 

It was true. I was vaguely aware of 

ssues in the presidential race – crumling 

financial markets, working people 

orfeiting their retirements to CEO 

onuses, a world in chaos and trillions 

dded to the deficit without anything to 

how for it. 

But the truth was, I voted for Obama 

ecause Susie, my Shades girl, gave 

e a day-old hazelnut-chocolate chip 

uffin. As a Republican, Alice should 

nderstand free market principles as 

hey apply to voter preference. I tried to 

xplain but she wouldn’t listen. 

“You’re an elitist,” she accused. “I 

ate elitists. They don’t agree with me 

n how things should be and think they 

now how things should be.” She 

tormed out of the house. 

Alice kept a West Bank real estate 

ogul as a side lover. He was a high 

arty official known for throwing expenive 

GOP fundraisers at the Pines. But I 

asn’t worried; she always came back. 

here is something about trailer house 

oving a woman can’t resist. 

However, I did like the idea of being 

n elitist. It’s not a word often associat- 

Thalia Hummus, who was recently 

elected to Wyoming’s lone 

Congressional seat, said she is “fine” 

despite the fact that she now has a real 

job. 

She said the campaign trail has worn 

her weary, but she is happy to be at 

home with her family now. 

“I’m home and I’m fine,” she said. “And 

though I can’t take [daughter] Myra and 

[dog] Todo with me, Mrs. Hummus is 

going to Washington.” 

She will return to her home and spend 

time with her family before going back to 

Washington D.C. 

She said some time at the ranch will 

get her in touch with her Wyoming roots, 

and prepare her for the storm in 

Washington D.C. 

“The grit of my ancestors is unlike anything 

you can find on paper,” Hummus 

said. “And my ethos is as frisky as a 

Wyoming tumbleweed.” 

Hummus said that she can’t wait to get 

to Washington and start ‘blending in with 

the Democrats.” 

But she also said she is ready for a

ed with Hog Island. I decided to go to 

town and bask in my new stature. 

I stopped at Kmart where Vidal was 

just getting off from his third job. He 

had also voted for Obama. “Let’s go to 

the bagel shop,” I told him. “We’re elite

now and it is appropriate that we eat 

bagels.” 

At the Bagel Shop we met Linda, 

another Obama voter. She worked and 

studied her way through college and 

was now a teacher. She waited tables 

after work and on weekends to pay off 

her student loans. Like Obama, Linda 

had been raised by a single mother, so 

she was even more elite than me. I tried 

not to be envious. 

fight. 

“I’m gonna’ tow that party line,” she 

said. “And hook some real non-part-asian 

bickering. I’m gonna take on all those 

pickles in that barrel. Those guys allocate 

their things to places they don’t belong, 

but I’ll show ‘em where to put it – in the 

bank!” 

She said her experience hoarding mineral 

wealth and failing to get business 

schools off the ground will help her take 

on tough part-asian-ship in Washington. 

She said those are the main reasons she 

was elected. 

She also thanked her volunteers, 

campaign staff and daughters for all of 

their support. Hummus said that the 

opposition presented by “wealthy liberal 

elitist” Larry Browner could not have 

been overcome without that help, but 

she will miss her daughter, Myra Mixon- 

Hummus, the most. Mixon-Hummus will 

return to Manhattan where she is a 

stockbroker. 

Mixon-Hummus gained renown for 

photographs taken of her late-night 

antics that appeared in a regional tabloid, 

LIPSIDE Hummus “fine” despite real job 

Several design architects sat at one 

of the tables. “Let’s mingle with our new 

crowd,” I said. We stopped at their table 

and I said, “Can you believe that house 

they’re building on Hansen? There’s not 

a triangle in the whole place. Or a dome 

or half-round roof or even sheet metal.” 

I sneered to show my contempt for 

commoners. “I’ve heard they even built 

the mechanical room big enough for the 

equipment.” I shook my head with disdain 

as we walked out. 

Vidal suggested we donate our 

bagels to Orville’s and go to my trailer 

and eat elk meat. “OK,” I told him, “but 

we’ll have to cut the steaks into tiny 

pieces and call them medallions like 

they do at the Snake River Grill.” 

We bumped into Alice’s GOP lover on 

the sidewalk. “Get out of my way,” I 

ordered. 

“Why should I get out of your way?” 

He demanded. “I own four houses, not 

counting condos, skimmed twenty million 

dollars from my hedge fund before 

it went broke, am a member at Club 

Lespri and dine with the Cheneys when 

they’re in town.” 

“We voted for Obama,” I told him. 

He scoffed and stepped off the sidewalk. 

“Elitist bastards,” he said. PJH 

Damn it Jackson Hole! She was known 

for her ability to cavort till the wee hours 

with hip-hop stars, tennis champions and 

luminaries of the art world only to wake 

up in the morning and write lengthy press 

releases announcing endorsements by 

major advocacy groups around Wyoming 

like “Citizens for Less Penetration by 

Mexicans,” “Citizens for Louder Guns” 

and “Citizens who Think Coal Will Be 

Clean Someday Despite Evidence 

Suggesting Otherwise,” and then drive 

her mother around in green patent 

leather cowgirl boots. 

Though Mixon-Hummus is returning 

to Manhattan, she will be at the head of 

Hummus’ new staff; an eight-foot pole 

carved from a cottonwood that was 

killed by lightning on their ranch near 

Cheyenne. Hummus said she will only 

use that staff when the moon is full and 

“the air is full of the ether of homogeneity.” 

Hummus said she is very exciting 

about visiting all the memorials in 

Washington D.C., and meeting Barak 

Obama. PJH

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “You can’t know fire 

unless you play with it,” says Mark Finney, a math 

whiz who develops computer models for fighting 

forest fires. I offer that as a motto for you in the 

coming week, Aries. I’m not saying you should purposely 

ignite a conflagration for the sake of impulsive 

experimentation. I’m not saying you should 

kick smoldering embers around like soccer balls or 

light a cigarette while you’re pumping gasoline or 

buy yourself a flame-thrower. What I am saying is 

that it will be in your interest to learn more about 

how to play safely with intriguing, useful fires. 

(Finney’s quote comes from the July 2008 issue of 

National Geographic.) 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The time for keeping 

the doors closed is passing. But it is not yet the 

right moment to fling them wide open. According to 

my reading of the omens, your best strategy is to 

keep doors ajar — open just a crack, letting some 

air in and allowing a hint of your light to trickle out. 

This will discourage unfocused wanderers from 

barging in, while at the same time it encourages 

worthy candidates with a healthy curiosity to 

sneak peeks inside. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “There is a rose in 

Spanish Harlem,” sings Ben E. King in his old pop 

ballad. “It is a special one/ It’s never seen the sun/ 

It only comes out when the moon is on the run.” 

King is fantasizing with longing about an alluring 

woman from a hardscrabble neighborhood. The 

rose is “growing in the street/ right up through the 

concrete” — a delicate beauty blooming amidst 

tough conditions. Your assignment, Gemini, is to 

cultivate a connection with your equivalent of that 

rose. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Every second of 

your life, your bone marrow produces 100 trillion 

molecules of hemoglobin, the stuff that carries 

oxygen from your lungs to the rest of you. 

Meanwhile, every minute, your immune system 

begets 10 million lymphocytes, which are key play- 


freewill astrology 

ers in your body’s defenses. These are just two 

examples of the endless marvels you produce, 

Cancerian. You are a creator of the first order. 

You’re a supreme maker and a generative genius. 

Remember that in the coming days. It will help you 

be confident and purposeful as you birth minor miracles 

and intimate wonders. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For decades the U.S. government 

has handed out far more welfare benefits 

to big corporations than to poor people. Companies 

like IBM, General Electric, Boeing, and others rake 

in over 100 billion dollars of subsidies each year. In 

other words, socialism has been a prominent feature 

of our so-called capitalist system for a long 

time. Recently, Karl Marx’s influence has made 

even deeper inroads into the American way, with 

the government becoming part-owner of many 

banks in order to keep them solvent. Will any of this 

fantastic largesse be extended to us regular citizens, 

like maybe in the form of nationalized health 

care? I can’t answer that. But I do know this, Leo: In 

the coming months, you will get help from powers 

that you regard as above and beyond you. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): For many people, 

10:30 a.m. is the single best time of day to come 

up with fresh insights and new ideas. But that 

won’t exactly be true for you in the coming week. I 

mean, 10:30 will be a time when you’re likely to be 

really smart, but then so will 11:30, 1:05, 2:37, 

3:46, and 4:20. For that matter, 6:35 may also 

bring a gush of high intelligence, as well as 7:27, 

8:19, and the last ten minutes before bedtime. 

What I’m trying to tell you, Virgo, is that you’re in a 

phase when being brilliant should come pretty naturally. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ruminate a minute 

about the people who don’t see you for who you 

really are. Some of them are enemies, but others 

may be loved ones or allies. Consider the possibility 

that you have unconsciously bought in to their 

beliefs about you; that you are at least partially 

trapped in the habit of acting like the person they 

think you are. Now visualize what it would be like 

to free yourself from the images and expectations 

they have of you. Imagine the exhilaration you’d 

feel if you answered only to the still, small voice of 

your own lucid intuition. The coming weeks will be 

a good time for you to practice this high art. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The New York 

Times ran a story about philosopher Nick Bostrom. 

He believes there’s a significant chance our world 

is actually a computer simulation. In his scenario, 

you and I are living in a version of The Matrix. Our 

“brains” are merely webs of computer circuits created 

by our post-human descendants, who are 

studying “ancestor simulations” of their past. I 

bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because it’s 

an excellent time for you to find out, one way or 

another, whether Bostrom is correct. Right now 

you have a special talent for knowing what’s real 

and what’s not. You’ve also got a knack for escaping 

what’s illusory and gravitating toward what’s 

authentic. So even if you do find out that we’re living 

in The Matrix, you could become a kind of messiah 

with resemblances to the character that 

Keanu Reaves played in the film trilogy. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In his book 

Signs of Success, astrologer Steven Weiss says 

“The question ‘Do you believe in astrology?’ is like 

asking someone if they believe in art.” I agree. 

Picture a no-nonsense physicist gazing at a 

Kandinsky painting, with its teeming blobs of mad 

color and exuberant shapes, and declaring it to be 

a superstitious eruption of delusion that’s not 

based on a logical understanding of the world. Like 

Kandinsky’s perspective, astrology at its best roots 

us in the poetic language of the soul, and isn’t 

blindly submissive to the values of the rational ego. 

It’s here to liberate our imaginations and encourage 

us to think less literally and to visualize our 

lives as mythic quests. I bring this to your attention, 

Sagittarius, because right now it’s crucial that

WEEK OF NOV. 12 

you spend some quality time in modes of awareness 

akin to Kandinsky’s and astrology’s. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Check out 

this excerpt from “Those Who Do Not Dance,” by 

Chilean poet Gabriel Mistral: “God asked from on 

high, / ‘How do I come down from this blueness?’ / 

We told Him: /come dance with us in the light.” I 

love this passage because it reminds me that nothing 

is ever set in stone: Everything is always up for 

grabs. Even God needs to be open to change and 

eager for fresh truths. Furthermore, even we puny 

humans may on occasion need to be God’s teacher 

and helper. Likewise, we can never be sure about 

what lowly or unexpected sources may bring us the 

influences we require. What do Mistral’s words 

mean to you, Capricorn? Imagine you’re the “God” 

referenced in the poem. What blueness are you 

ready to come down from, and who might invite 

you to dance in their light? 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): All of the good 

works you do in the coming week will send ripples 

far and wide, but not all of them will be recognized 

and appreciated. I hope that’s OK with you; I hope 

you won’t get obsessed with trying to get all the 

credit you deserve. The fact is, your influences will 

be more effective and enduring if they are at least 

partially anonymous. Ironically, your power will be 

greater if it’s not fully noticed. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Describing his 

writing class at Sarah Lawrence College, Jeffrey 

McDaniel says: “There are two kinds of humor: haha 

humor that is light and airy and floats into the 

sky like a balloon, vanishing as the giggling subsides; 

and then there is a darker, heavier humor 

that is still there when the laughter stops, a humor 

that must be reckoned with, a humor with teeth.” I 

suggest, Pisces, that you make the latter your specialty, 

your passion, and your medicine. Consort 

with belly laughs and sublime guffaws that rouse 

the ferocity you need in order to penetrate deeper 

into the heart of the Great Mystery.
