A Picture’s Worth

by Damien Williamson, Time Out Staff Writer
Thursday, May 8, 2008

It is quite peculiar that a place like the Roaring Fork Valley — which serves as a playground for some of the most extreme sports and world-class athletes, from World Cup ski racing to X Games, intrepid mountain biking terrain to über-technical rock climbing, envied Gold Medal-water fishing and even unparalleled hiking trails — would lack a film festival specifically designed to showcase such talent.

At least that’s the way it seemed to Carbondale’s 5Point Film Festival Founder Julie Kennedy.

Flash of the Titans

by Jason Hood, Time Out Music Columnist
Thursday, May 8, 2008

Like some beguiling, Bronx-bred and wind-driven Ponce de Leon, he set sail into uncharted territory. The land he stumbled upon was dingy and rank with the sweat of the restless. It was at once beautiful and decadent. It was bursting at its ripe underbelly with energy and soul. It was the Garden of Eden and the Book of Revelations. It was an unnamed oasis soon to be christened Hip-Hop.

This virgin continent needed a worthy leader. Indeed, it needed a King, a Pharaoh, a President. It needed a Grandmaster. This land called Hip-Hop needed Grandmaster Flash. The renegade explorer had finally found his ground.

Cleaning Out Your Closets

by Giovanna Dirusso, Time Out Fashion Columnist
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Now that is May, and though it doesn’t quite feel like the middle of spring given the continuous cold temperatures and intermittent blizzard conditions, it is time to think about cleaning out your wardrobe, and purge it of those clothes clinging to the recesses of your closets, as they whisper, “I’ll be back.”

If you are anything like me, I’m always afraid that a few months after giving away that vintage Anne Klein suit, Ralph Lauren skirt or whatever, I’m going to bolt up in the middle of the night in a hot sweat (no, not menopause), and whimper, “Say it isn’t so! Don’t tell me I really gave away that classic camel hair coat dress now that it is in perfect style!”

Wine n' dine: Steak and Asparagus

by Dava Parr, Time Out Chef-at-Large
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Spring weather! What a treat, huh? Snow, rain, sun, wind, hmmmm. I guess we had better hold off on planting up that vegetable bed for another week or so. I am still contemplating a quick trip to perma-warm Mexico, so it is just as well I can’t don those kneepads and rubber boots just yet.

It is a little difficult planning spring menus in the Rocky Mountains. The safest bet right now, vegetable-wise, is asparagus. Those hearty little rhizomes will grow out of any condition when spring tells them to rise. We have been eating them fresh from the picking for a couple of weeks now and we should see them well into June with luck.

‘Speed Racer’ Just Spinning its Wheels

by Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

★

The Wachowski brothers have tumbled into a matrix of their own with “Speed Racer,” one which has rendered them completely out of touch with the outside world.

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • You certainly add steam and fun to most situations. You could also be unusually assertive when dealing with a child or loved one. A reversal could only be temporary, but not as short as you would like. Use your imagination with a child. Tonight: You will need all the rest you can get.

  • Taurus
    • You see many other people differently than the majority do. Don't push a family member or roommate, unless you want a bigger problem. Understanding comes forward when talking with an expert. Tonight: Adapt plans.

  • Gemini
    • See what is going on with a partner before you make a decision. You could be making mountains out of molehills. Listen to feedback and be graceful about accepting criticism. Verbal sparring becomes more likely. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

  • Cancer
    • You might want to rethink a decision. Consider options that come forward when investigating different ways of handling a problem. Use care with spending. Understand your limits. Tonight: Get into the Friday-night celebrations.

  • Leo
    • You suddenly decide enough is enough and opt for a different path. How you deal with someone could change dramatically. Anger and frustration start surfacing. Look for the most appropriate way of dealing with this issue. Tonight: Take some downtime.

  • Virgo
    • Stop and check in with yourself. What was OK previously might no longer be. Is it possible your focus on a loved one is so great that you cannot see clearly? Romance could be active if you are single. Friends might push hard. Tonight: In the midst of gaining new insight.

  • Libra
    • A friend might push you hard. Anger easily could be the end result if you aren't careful. Prioritize, and you will feel much better. Learn to say no as well. A must appearance demands your attention. Tonight: Pickup where others let off.

  • Scorpio
    • Someone might push you beyond your limits. He or she could be very sorry, but ultimately so might you. Detach as soon as you feel uncomfortable and gain deeper insight. Your sense of humor will help. Tonight: Follow the music.

  • Sagittarius
    • Work with someone directly. Do necessary digging. Look for the story behind the story. You'll find answers quickly and effectively. Togetherness emerges as the best way to deal with a problem. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.

  • Capricorn
    • You might want to defer to others. Some people might be difficult to deal with, especially one particular person who might have a heavy influence on you. You might get a second run at an offer that you thought was impossible. Tonight: Sort through your options.

  • Aquarius
    • Someone comes in hard, fast and possibly angry. You might wonder what you did to deserve this attitude or behavior. Lie back and do your thing, knowing that you cannot control someone else. Tonight: Off to the gym or get some exercise

  • Pisces
    • Let your creativity speak, and you'll come up with many ideas. Mobilize now to take action. What others think might not be that important. Review facts. A friend might need some space for now. Tonight: As if there is no tomorrow.
