Brandi
Carlile's fall tour is billed as the VH1 You Oughta
Know tour. Judging from the fact that the 25-year-old
has played Eugene three times in the past two and
a half years, you oughta already know
about Carlile and her countrified pop sound. But if
you are, like some of us at EW, a bit new to
Eugene and were wondering why Carlile wasn't featured
on the music page, well, there you have it. This is
the second What's Happening blurb about this artist,
whose MySpace page lists Elton John, K.D. Lang, Jeff
Buckley and Radiohead (!) as influences. But she's
deliciously good at what she does. She once made a
living busking Seattle's Pike Place Market, and now
she's frequently opening for the Indigo Girls and
Shawn Colvin. We headlined an April 2005 article on
Carlile "Rising Star Shines Over Eugene," and, so
many years later, that rising star has finally risen,
and will land, with a welcoming splash, at the WOW
Hall to kick-off a ginormous five-day streak of excellent
music. See Thursday, Sept. 6 Calendar.
OK,
so according to the Creative Vitality Index, Lane
County comes in third place in the entire state
for our creative output and energy. While we certainly
don't lack for art walks, as there are no less
than four monthly walks in our county, we may
be lacking in "creative vitality." Maybe we're
tired of seeing the same artists in a venue down
the street with a vaguely similar show as their
last. While the First Friday ARTWalk flushes people
into downtown's core (let's face it, more for
the hobnobbing than for the art), the Last
Friday Artwalk is more of a casual affair,
spread out over many blocks in clusters of houses
or businesses like the Art of Glass, which this
month features creations (pictured above) by Vicki
Komori. Maybe that's why the press release for
Kiki Metzler's 462 Polk Studio Gallery made it
quite clear that she will have cookies for consumption.
A little bribe to lure us up off the couch and
out to visit a local node of creative action is
certainly in order. And speaking of lack of attendance,
we counted fewer than six riders
in last month's Critical Mass. C'mon, people!
The weather's gonna be fine. The art … well,
at least there will be cookies.See Friday Calendar.
Missed
last Tuesday's early morning lunar eclipse because,
you know, you were dead tired from this thing
called "work" that so occupies your every waking
hour? Well, hopefully you'll have a day off on
Labor Day weekend so you can get good rest and
stay up later than usual this week, especially
if you're into astronomy. On Wednesday, WREN sponsors
a "Stars in the City" Urban Astronomy Program
at the West Eugene Wetlands yurt, with amateur
astronomer Rick Ahrens pointing out the rings
of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter and the waning
crescent of Venus. For all you history buffs:
If you're out camping this long weekend (big surprise)
and happen to be in the Fall Creek area, stop
by Cascara Campground Saturday night for a free
presentation on the history of Fall Creek at
the amphitheater. See Calendar.
