Peer support counselors Patricia Billings and Jaime Mendez enjoy
each ot~er's company at a recent meeting for First People's.
by Ten Tada
CPJ Contributor

Peer Support Counseling is one of the
services offered at Evergreen to serve
stu~ents.

. .Peer Support is a program offered
through First Peoples' Advising Service,
Evergreen's organization for people of
color. The program involves students of
color, trained as peer counselors, who assist
other students with general problems
which arise in their lives. Though Peer
Support Advising is meant to help students
of color, the program is open to all
Evergreen students.
A Peer Counselor might assist a
student with academic, personal or health
problems, sexual harassment or languagebarrier difficulties. Peer Counselors can
also act as a bridge between a student and
other student services. Though counselors
prefer that students make appointments,

Working
dogs assist
on campus
by Lisa COI'wine and Rebecca Pearl
CPJ Reporting Team
When Randall Dutton, an Evergreen
student, was 12 years old he wrote to the
American Humane Society to try to find a
dog.
Randall Dutton is deaf. He needed a
- dog to be his ears and li sten for him. In
response to his request, he was paired with
, Angel, the last hearing dog trained in the
Denver area. Angel has been with him ever
since.
Angel works with Dutton primarily
indoors, listening for general sounds such as
fire alarms and knocking on doors. Outside,
the dog is just like all other dogs.
Dawn Hultman, Administrative
Secretary to Vice President Art Constantino,
is assisted by Wendy, a working dog that
helps guide her around obstacles. Wendy is
Dawn's eyes.
Wendy was trained at Pilot Dogs Inc.,
a non-profit organization in Ohio that trains
and furnishes dogs, 'lt no cost, to guide the
blind.
Angel and Wendy' s jobs are to guide,
not to protect. But with such a close-working
relationship, the dogs can become protective.
A memo from Pilot Dogs, Incorporated
states, "Even though they are highly trained,
they are still just dogs."
The most common distractions for
working dogs are other dogs. Dutton usually
steers Angel in the opposite direction when
strange dogs approach them . Yelling often
works to keep other dogs away.
Dawn Hultman has no way of knowing
if other dogs are around until they approach
Wendy.

Foiled again! That's right it was our first issue, and though I know you all expected it
to come out perfect-it didn't. Several mistakes happened in last week's issue, and these
are the ones people were nice enough to point out in social situatiosn (to embaress us).
Pat spelt shiney wrong. Also, Demian Parker was chargined to notice that there
were several typos in the Arts and Entertainment section. For example, the word unusaJ
was speeled incorrectly in a photo ca}Jtion and there was a period missing from a sentece.
Also Betty'slast name was spelt wrong, it's actually Schlueter. We missed the e last

The graffiti that was reported in three women's

Public Safety would not state the nature of the
graffiti.

Hultman deal s with other dogs by
reinforcing her working relationship with
Wendy, repeating simple commands that
remind Wendy she has a job to do .
Like Evergreen students, the dogs have
good and bad days. Hultman says that
Wendy'S biggest fault is that she really likes
people. Randall jokingly complains that
Angel's a "stubborn, spoiled, mean old
dog ... bites all my friends," but that she is
"sometimes sweet".
Working dogs are allowed on campus
and prior notification is not nece ssa ry.
According to campus security officer Kirk
Talmage, people have usually let the college
know ahead of time when they bring a
working dog to Evergreen.
In Dutton·s first year at Evergreen he
says he had some difficulty convincing
others that Angel was a legitimate working
dog. A janitor in the Library used to give
him a hard time. even after he presented a
card verifying his working relationship with
Angel.
In Hultman 's situation, people can
usually tell by the harness that Wendy is a

On campus childcare costs would rise
due to decrease in state funding, one fulltime staff position would be removed from

program would be severely crippled.
President Jervis will present her
recommendations regarding the cuts to the
Board of Trustees on Oct. 12. Copies of the
budget proposals are available in the
President's area on the third floor of the
library and Jervis seeks your input.
"Though we have no way of knowing
now what form the final budget may take,
and though we anticipate that the cuts will
not finally be as deep as these plans propose,
I am very aware of their impact on each of
you and on our sense of community," said

Throughout history there have been slogans and
phrases that have captured the public's imagination.
These phrases range from the blood-stirring, "Give me
liberty or give me death!n to the banal, "Have a nice day."
However, these slogans contain the common thread that
all speak to the spirit of the community in which they
are expressed.
Chalked phrases containing the fraction 1/3 were
seen everywhere. The number was constant , the
message though was unclear. "Why have when you can
n
1/3?(sic)", or, "Look for 1/3 in every half nelson.
The general population of Greeners seemed as
clueless as the freshmen, although there was a general
consensus that the mystery was at least a couple of years
old.
One theory was that the writer or writers meant
that everyone has a little evil or a little "Hitler" in them.
The second was that the first third ofthe word Hitler is
"Hi", therefore everyone is high. The third speculation
was"that it meant that not all of Hitler's ideas were bad.
Some felt , in reference to the spray-painted "33%
is enough," that the answer lay in rape awareness since,
by some statistics one out of every three women will be
sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

by Amy Healy

very year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes. They
don't take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can
easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income-especially
for the "extras" that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may not
cover. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since all earnings on
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the

money you don't send to Washington
works even harder for you. Down the
road, that can make a dramatic difference
in your quality of life.
. What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices-from the
guaranteed security of TIAA to the
diversified investment accounts of
CREF's variable annuity-all backed
by the nation's number one retirement
system.
Why write off the chance for a more
rewarding retirement? Call today and
learn more about how TIAA-CREF
SRAs can help you enjoy many
happy returns.

It's time for students to get invol'v ed in graduation
by Liam Anselm
CPJ ContribulOl'
Dean of Student Affairs Arnaldo
Rodriguez has some deep concerns about this
year's graduation process,
Due to certain pitfalls in the process of
preparing seniors for the Graduation
Ceremony, Dean Rodriguez felt it was vital
to revise the process for 1995 , He plans to
get the senior hopefuls involved with the
process committee earlier in the year so that
they can become functioning, as well as
participating members of this very spec ial
occasion,
To some, fall quarter may seem a bit
premature to begin thinking a bout the
graduation moment. or even getting started
on researching what is involved . Rodriguez
feels that this procrastination is the heart of
the problem. He says that students should not
put graduatio n plans off, but s hould
immediately begin this process because
much is involved.

The process begins with a newsletter peets of the ceremony such as the overall

1/3 from page 5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Others guessed it was a protest against
th e proposed sw itching to th e semester
system as it would mean 1/3 fewer classes.
A student conspiracy buff. Joe Nowinski,
claimed that it all related to the 23 Enigma
first recorded by William S ,Burroughs. For
some reason, the theory goes, the number
23 shows up everywhere; indeed, if one
subtracts 1/3 from a whole, one will end up
with 2/3.
There was perhaps one person on
campus who could solve the problem.
Among those in the know the name Fezdak
Clamchopbreath was whispered whenever
the subject of 1/3 came up. The truth was
much stranger than any of the theories.
To fully understand the 1/3

phenomenon, it is necessary to travel back
s ix years to a form in Hazard County,
Kentucky. Farm workers, Clamchopbreath,
Ramos, Matthew Tremper and a man known
only as The Colonel, were sleeping out under
the stars, When they awoke the next morning
they saw that parts of the Kentucky blue grass
around them had turned brown overnight.
These dried patches were in the shape of a
giant 1/3,
"It was about the weirdest thing that had
ever happened to any of us." Clamchopbreath
recalled ,
The four decided that it was their duty
to spread the message around and that
message has now been heard (and seen) in
"about a dozen colleges and a dozen states

around the country."
Clamchopbreath does not, 'however,
take responsibility for the widespread usage
of the mysterious fraction on Evergreen's
campus, stating that it was another one of
the four, Ramos, who was the driving force
behind such elaborate projects as the giant
paper-mache 1/3 in Red Square. "He saw it
almost as a cosmic wink of approval."
CIamchopbreath laughed at the number
of interpretations regarding 1/3. ''I've heard
people say that it meant one out of every
people will die, or that one out of every three
people is from Mars. I think that's what's nice
about it, people have their own ideas . It
wasn't ever really a secret though , nobody
really bothered to ask." _

resentment from every comer. But it was all
after the fact and was too late, According to
Rodriguez, once a graduation decision has
been made. it cannot be rescinded.
"If students truly care, they must get out
of the chair and get involved. In other words,
no armchair politics," said Rodriguez.
All prospective graduates must live with
the results and consequences of these
decisions, which are primarily made by those
who attend the meetings.
Another important decision to make is
the choice of speaker for the function. Often
there can be as many as 100 different names
suggested, and the purpose of the group at
the meeting is to make suggestions aimed at
slimming these speaker choices down.
Por more information about this year's
graduation planning, contact Dean Arnaldo
Rodriguez at x6310. _

Queers from cover
as an independent group but as far as
Registration, there is no way to do that.
"Through this system what they
would do is, if a student who identified
as a queer student dropped out, that
student would be contacted, The
opportunity for them to voice their
concerns would be given. Also if they
don't follow up on that then the numbers
would be avail able." said Sibbem,
Nathan Woods, a co-coordinator of
the EQA, pointed out an additional use
of the retention statistics, "[They I would
help us to develop more programs and
activities to include gay males in the
queer community and the Evergreen
community." He said that understanding
the extent of the problem would help the
available resources, such as the EQA,
better address retention . •

Columnist searching for a place
where differences are accepted
Editor's Note: This column is intended
to be a forum for students of color to write
about their feelings and concerns at Evergreen.
The intention is not to silence people ofcolor
on other pages, we want their voices heard
through out the CPJ. We hope students of
color will use this space to contribute their
more personal thoughts.
To submit a

submissions guide
and bring your
column to the CPJ in
CAB 316, or call us
at x6213.
I met someone who just moved
into a blue house
called, "The Sunny
Muffm." Although I have never seen or been
to The Sunny Muffin, I constructed an inviting,
big, bright blue home with my imagination
based on the friendliness of the person I met
and the color blue.
In my imaginary Sunny Muffin, I picture
people hanging around and having a pretty
good time. They are open-minded and love for
quests to visit. People feel welcome and don't
feel judged by appearances or ideas. I hear that
the real Sunny Muffin is a nice place to live too.
Having never lived in a blue home I still
manage to have a happy family life with my
non-blue parents and brother.
But, unfortunately, I never lived in a
"Sunny Muffin Estates" or went to "Sunny
Muffin Elementary or High School." I basically
grew up around people who were easily
confused by my genetics. I don't blame my
genetics because I seem to function pretty well.
So lets do the obvious. Let's blame "them."
"Them:" would slant their eyes with
~heirfingers and shout, "Chink" at me. "Them"
would surround me in the school yard during
recess and chant, ·Ching Chong Ching Chong",
in what felt like some sort of surrealistic slow
motion scene from a horror movie which
would cause the victim to go after everyone
.
with a chainsaw in the future.
"Them" w2sn't restricted to my peers. I

called the school board one day out of curiosity
over my "Race 7" classification. I was classified
"Eskimo." Somehow my teachers had their
own opinions as to by ethnic background.
Eventually, I became confused. I knew
my father was Bolivian and my mother
Colombian and that they spoke Spanish, but I
really did not like to be pointed out as a
member of a particular
group. I just wanted to
be Tony, Boy Wonder.
Nowadays, I am
not confused about my
identity and I have
added
Italian
and Polish to my list of
ethnic backgrounds
complements
of
"them".
I also don't hold
the same sort of resentment and blame towards
people who are confused by my physical
structure and my unpronounceable last name.
I think it's kinda fun just as long as they don't
encircle me on the playground.
I am envious of people who rattle offfive
or six different nationalities/ethnic
backgrounds. I am also fascinated by
magnificent variety of personalities and
likenesses of people.
If the planet were a Sunny Muffin , we
could all enjoy the differences and similarities
oflife. Different cultures would be appreCiated
for simply the differences inherent.
We would still confuse the backgrounds
of friends around us, but such confusions
would be humorous. But, alas, we live on a
planet were the confusion cause pain in the
form of prejudice and discrimination.
I won't complain. Ilike the facr that I am
Chinese~Ja panese-Itali an-Eski mo-S pa n ishBolivian-Colombian-Polish-American. If you
think of any,more, I will be glad to take them .
I fact, I would like to add Sunny Muffin to my
list of ethnic origins. Blueberry, to be precise.
I hope the residents ofThe Sunny Muffin
will not mind that I used the name of your
home for my column. Thanks.

A 'religious community?
Fall of 1994 marks my eighth year at
Evergreen, I'm again impressed with the
religious commitments and curiosity of
the community members. Some students
tell me they are looking deep within
themselves and creating their own belief,
others are "dishing their plates full at the
American religious buffet," a few desire to
adopt a different "ism" than their old
authority figures hold and some are
holding steady to pre-college beliefs.
Not too much has changed since my
first visit to the campus in 1987. One rainy
cold day (sorry Californians) in February,
I walked across Red Square to the CAB.
On the clock tower stairs I saw a very
home made sign which read, "God Loves
You· John 3:16," Twenty minutes later, I
emerged from the CAB and looked up to
the clock tower searching for the humble
icon of Greener Christianity. It was gonel
My eyes dropped to the bricks and there
was their sign in small pieces; smaller than
the storm would warrant. As I left campus
that day, I talked with a student who told
me not to bother with being a Christian
campus minister at Evergreen, because
Buddhism was what the people wanted.
We are a religious people.
Whether in seminar or out, the
religious conversation continues at a
steady clip. In the 1993 report on why
students do not return to TESC, religious
intolerance in programs and seminars was
listed as a factor for student withdrawal.
Students cited lack of tolerance, presence
of persecution and hostility towards
Western religion. Evergreen students and

faculty hold some radically opposing
beliefs. These beliefs can be expressed in
seminar creating, an atmosphere of
controversy, mutual challenge, and
inquiry. However, when our feelings of
insecurity become stronger than our
mutual respect a negative atmosphere of
ostracism and humiliation occurs.
One way to interpret these previous
examples is to see them as conversation.
Not always the most civil conversation,.
but conversation none the less. This
column's purpose is to add some content
to the religious conversation. Hopefully
a civil addition and one that illuminates
and clarifies some of the views held by
this very religious community. It will not
be a generic religious column, since the
belief that all religions are the same is only
an illusion believed by some professors
of comparative religion. Instead, it will be
a place where the viewpoint expressed
will hopefully have a semblance of
harmony with Jesus' viewpoint.

minister with Evergreen Students [or

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL

A broad based collation of peoples from
all walks has been networking for the past years
in favor of the legalization of marijuana
(cannabis), a.k.a. hemp.
Last year's Initiative 622 was in favor of
the creation of a central board to oversee the
regulation of all commercial uses of this plant.
Applications for this agricultural product hark
back to its ancient uses as oil, food, clothing,
medicine and materials for ship rigging.
Modern uses are estimated to number over the
tens of thousands and would replace a majority
of the current inefficient and polluting petro-

chemical industries practices in the
production of fuel, plastics, paper and ,
building materials, to name but a few.
This year we will need to
support any anti-prohibition
initiatives put forth by the
people, but a "commerce
only," or non-THC use,
proposal will get more
support than a
recreation," or
inclusive, initiative.
Most people are still
hyped up on the
"drug war" reefermadness propaganda of the '80s and '90s
and now current television shows portray

pot dealers in a light once exclusively reserved
for the mob and heroine smugglers. It won't
get any easier to coerce the neonic culture of
ditto-heads at large to believe that the use of
THC-marijuana is an act oflife
not death, and Big Business
certainly doesn't want the
potentially liberating effect of
small-scale farm and
business , revitalization
which the commercial
production of hemp could
potentiate.
We need to look at current
working industrial models of
legalization active in countries like
Germany, Colombia, China and now Canada

Bankfug with us is so convenient, yoo can even come
in on the weekend. So stop by Seafirst today and find out
more about yourfree choices, or give us a can today and

Victory elusive for Hellcatz.
This Saturday marked the season opener for Evergreen Women's
rugby. The Hellcatz travelled to Seattle to go up against the Puget Sound
Breakers. Unfortunately the Hellcatz didn't bring home the victory they
wanted but played a hard game nonetheless.
The first half of the game for Evergreen was marked by some strorig
forward play, but against the Breakers larger, stronger, forward pack this
did not translate into wining much ball for the back line. Indeed the size
and experience ofthe Breaker squad was a main factor in the Evergreen
loss. While there are experienced players on the Evergreen side there
are as well many new and inexperience players. With the determination
they showed on the field Saturday, in no time they are sure to be a force
to recon with.
Indeed there are many bright spots on the Evergreen squad; their
tackling was superb, the back line put some hits on the Breakers that
rattled this spectators head, and saved several potential scores. Another
bright spot was of a more psychological nature, namely the willingness
of the players to play hard contact. In rugby this is an essential quality to
good play. If players are not willing to get in the mix the team can never
control ball.
So despite
Saturdays loss
the Hellcatz are
looking towards
a winning
season, their
rookies have
promise and
their seasoned
players have skill,
together they
will win.

Evergreen Women's soccer
doesn't quite make the goal

The Evergreen Women's soccer team played host to
Central Washington U. this Sunday. It was a good matchup, but
at the end of the day the scoreboard read Central 2, Evergreen O.
Evergreen ptayed a good game though, with a remarkably
strong defense. Their problems seemed to be in the forwards'
inability to make anything happen when they were in Central's
backfield. There were some moments when an Evergreen score
seemed close at hand, but Central's defense was solid in their
ability to clear the threat from their goal. While the end result was
a loss for Evergreen, the season is young and the talent is there
to produce a winning team.

Internationally renowned Spanish
dance duo, Mal Pdo, were waiting for me
outside the Deli.
"Mal Pelo" literally means "bad hair."
But in Spain, it means something more than
just a bad hair cut. "A young boy, playing in
the street," said Pep Ramis, the male half of
the team, "is called 'mal pelo."
"He is naughty. Playful," added Maria
Munoz.
They have been dancing together for six
years, usually as a duo, sometimes with a
third member. While dance is the main
aspect of their work, they look at a dance
piece from a theatrical standpoint.
"When we make a piece," said Ramis,
"what we look for is to put the right
expression ... sometimes that uses a
theatrical approach. But dance is the main
language. It is all about how you see a scene,
how you see characters. Tensions."
"Basically, we go into a studio and
improvise about ideas or themes," said
Munoz. "It starts to grow from there."
"The structure is set," said Ramis, "but
the movement can be improvised."
While at Evergreen, Mal Pelo will
perform three pieces. "Two have already
been finished," said Munoz. "The 'Other one
will be a work in progress. We are trying to
work on it in the States."
Mal Pelo opens at the Evergreen
Expressions performing arts series 8 pm,

In the event a student employee feels
unjustly treated with regard to pay
rate, termination or other employment
related circumstances, that student
must first seek recourse with his/her
employer. Students may also make
use of the Center for Mediation
Services for resolution of the concern.
In the absence of a satisfactory
resolution, the student should seek
intervention by the Student
Employment Coordinator in the Office
of Financial Aid. In cases involving
violations of college policy regarding
discrimination, sexual harassment or
sexual assault, or in cases of violation
of state or federal law, the coordinator
will refer the student to . the
appropriate office. Before action can
be taken by the Student Employment
Coordinator, a grievance should be
put in writing. The grievance must
be filed within 6 months of the action
being contested. The written

grievance to the employer. A
written response from the

requested.
Individually interview all
parties/witnesses pertaining to

Collect any other necessary and.
pertinent information relevant
to the employment grievance;
If necessary, arrange a joint
meeting with th~ employer and
student employee;
Make a decision and notify all
parties in writing of that

decision within 30 days of the
receipt of the written grievance.
The Student Employment Coordinator
will attempt to seek a solution that is
mutually agreeable to the student and .
the employer. If a meeting with the
employer and the student employee is
scheduled, then either party may
invite a support person to be present.
If either party invites a support
person, the Student Employment
Coordinator should be notified at
least three days before the meeting so
that the other party in the dispute can
be informed and secure a support
person if he or she wishes. If either
party disputes the decision of the
Student Employment Coordinator, he
or she may.make a final appeal to the
vice president or his/her designee
responsible for the student's area of
work. This is the final appeal in the
internal appeal process.

"Tear it up, burn it, feed it to your
lizards, lock it in the trunk of a stolen car
and push it off a bridge." This is the advice
given by Grant Morrison concerning his
new series entitled The In visibles,
published by DC/Veritgo Comics.
He says it is the comic he has waited
all his life to write. Action, philosophy,
paranoia , sex, magic, biography, travel.
drugs, religion, UFO's ... are all a part of
this series I have waited all my life to read
and absorb.
Of course, the writing is not the only
important facet of The Invisibles. Steve
Yeowell's art is dramatic as we are taken
through the streets of Liverpool and
London, above and below and into an
ignorant reality and a vigilant fantasy.
We join Dane McGowan as he is
violently thrust over the threshold of a new

beginning. From the un living prison of
Harmony House to the very depths of an
urban hell we are told nothing leaving so
much to mystery. There is even a
smokable blue mold opening a portal to
who knows where. You can spend hours
contemplating the setting and stakes.
The stakes are high. Time is running
out. Join in on this Mystery Party each
month. Forget everything you knew about
comics. Forget everything you know.

by Laurel Rosen .
Oppression is a powerful force which
has the potential to divide or unite. While
skin color may reveal a surface-level identity,
a more se rious examination of history, ethics
and the universal nature of humanity is
necessary to induce harmony in a multiracial society.
Naomi Newman and John O'Neal
explore some of these ideas by using their
experiences with conflict between Jews and
African-Americans as an exemplar ofgreater
racial tensions around the world. The play
uses a heart-felt and humorous tone ,
employing so ngs, stories, skits and
impersonations, in its attempt to confront
stereotypes, racism and anti-Semitism. The
tale was born out of a fading sense of
connection and a heightened awareness of
friction between Black and Jewish
co mmunities in this country. The play
addresses this developing schism by
exa mining political activity, ethnic history,
and, finally, a spiritual renewal.
Crossing the Broken Bridge, directed

by Steven Kent, is a collaborative work
written and performed by Newman and
O'Neal. Naomi Newman, founder of A
Traveling Jewish Theatre, has a background
in music, theater, humanistic psychology,
and Yiddish culture. She has worked in San
Francisco and Lo Angeles and has recently
been traveling throughout the country
performing her solo work Snake Talk:
Urgent Messages from the Mother at various
theaters and universities, including the
Washington Center here in Olympia.
John O'Neal, founder and Artistic
Director of Junebug Productions in New
Orleans, co-founded and directed the Free
Southern Theater, an original and influential
institution of Black arts. He also returns to
Olympia after performing his one-man show
"Junebug Jabbo Jones" in the Washington
Center's 1990-91 season.
Before the performance of Crossing the

You can see them perform from noon
to 1:30 p.m . in the Recital Hall in the
Communications Building. From 7:00 to
8:30 p.m. that evening there will be a
discussion in which the artists will talk about
the development of their work, the artistic
collaboration involved and the inherent
issue of cross-cultural relations. The
discussion will be held at the Olympia Hotel's
Palladia Room, 117 Legion Way. All of these
events are free and open to the public.
While no single deed can abo lish
centuries of hatred and pain, exposure and

discussion can promote understanding.
Through an artistic medium we can perhaps
gain a feeling for the power of historical and
institutionalized prejudice, while also
looking toward a future of compassion and
solidarity.

each time it gets better. Lois seemed more
confident than ever and it showed. She
sounded great, wonderful even.
As the winter drags on you can expect
to see far fewer Sunday matinee shows at the
Capitol Theater. The rain and gray of
Olympia morn ings tends to keep people
indoors, and this is more than
understandable. It is for this reason that you
should see all those that do happen about.
Fitz of Depression are veterans of the
Olympia music scene. Lately I've found
myself singing "S67-5309/Jenny," and I
blame them. A cover of that song on their
most recent EP rocks me. It's so there. I know
these aren't great descriptive adjectives, I
know this review might suck, but, hey, Fitz
doesn't.
So, where were you? I don't care if
you've never heard of any of these bands. I
don't care if you still don't know where the
Capitol Theater is. I don't care ifyou've fooled
yourself into thinking, "I hate punk music."
But I care about you, really.
Don't let the Olympia music scene pass
you by, come see a rock show this weekend.

Where were you this weekend? I
looked for you.
This weekend was rock like Olympia
is famous for. Kicking Giant played the
Olympia AIDS Prevention Project benefit
on Friday. Lois and Heavenly took over the
backstage on Saturday. If you awoke early
enough, you could have witnessed Fitz of
Depression late Sunday afternoon.
The humble floor of the Capitol
Theater is still vibrating from the
experience.
Tae and Rachel are the dynamic duo
that form Kicking Giant. His guitar riffs and
forced-through vocals climax over her drum
pounding in true pop-rock style. Rachel
doesn't sit down to play the drums, that
would just be wrong. They are about to go
touring, so you missed them for a while. In
the meantime though, pick up their latest
LP Alien ID at any decent Olympia record
store.
Saturday was a night for K recording
artists Heavenly and Lois. Standing in the
doorway of the Capitol Theater backstage,
I could see Lois standing on a wooden riser,
strumming her guitar and singing. I don't
