Summer is always a great time for new music, and Walk the Moons
self-titled album was my summer favorite.
After I heard Anna Sun, I was hooked on Walk the Moons fresh
indie rock sound, and the rest of the album is equally addicting. Energetic vocals combined with a lively rhythm make this album shine.
The bands style is fun to dance and sing to but mellow enough to
play as background music.
Each song has its own uniqueness; however, the album flows
smoothly from the fun flirty beat of Quesadilla and concludes with
a more laid-back song called I Can Lift a Car. I applaud bands
when their sound is more upbeat but they can also compose
slower, heartfelt music as well. Walk the Moon does this with Iscariot.
Instruments are used sparingly, letting vocals convey all the beauty
in this song. One of my favorites, Jenny, has more of a dance beat
integrated into the bands signature sound making it really fun to listen to. I highly recommend listening to this great album and adding
Walk the Moon to Spotify playlists, ipods, and for the old-fashioned
at heart, maybe a mix CD or two.

You ever have one of those spur-of-the-moment events in your life whereas you just decide to wing it and go? Thats exactly what
my friend Patrick and I decided to in early
August. Well, not exactly; we knew were destined for a Saturday night Coldplay concert in
downtown St. Paul, but thats about it.

Problem was, when we got there, the upfront service manager (who was fanastic the
whole night through) notified us that our hotel
was booked for 12AM Sunday to Monday. I
sure hope at least a few readers sympathize
with me on this because after all, I booked it
at 11:48PM Saturday. Oh, and the manager
also kindly let us know that virtually every
hotel in a five mile radius were booked as
well.
So for the next three hours were spent arguing, philosophizing and debating about
what to do with our miserable lives. Finally,
after pizza and conversation at 3am with the
parking ramp attendant from Congo named
Jean Claude (who also interestingly enough
shared our views on the world), one individual who reserved hotel rooms DID NOT
show up, they gave us the room at Millenium
Hotel, which we finally parked for the night at
4AM.

Televison, in many ways, is sort of a new prison, Its a world a fiction that hooks all of us, causes us to be emotionally attached to stories
that never actually happened and characters who we develop artificial friendships with. Im guilty as much as anyone on this one, however; I do love the show House, M.D.and found myself emotionally bonding with the characters.
But my question is, for this generation growing up nowadays and those in school, where do we head from here? Do we still have ambition
and a drive for life?A determination to achieve goals and live the dreams? Surely, this has been my philosophy most of my life. To chase
dreams, and than live them. Most importantly though, is whether or not they benefit the lives of others and go beyond self-servitude.
Grand Forks is our land for better or worse. You might love this town, but if you dont, how do you think GF can improve? And if, you do
believe that Grand Forks can improve, why dont you be the agent for change?
I dont care what your story is, you have unlimited potential as a human being. And there are vehicles to help you achieve those Dreams
as well as making a difference in the lives of others. One such vehicle is Grand Forks Young Professionals. They are a group of individuals dedicated to bettering Grand Forks through a variety of means- community involvement, the arts and more. By joining one of their
many committees (such as Marketing and Community Involvement of which Im members of both), you can both walk towards your own
dreams as well as improve our land.
One of their latest projects is GF VOTE, which is self-explanitory. They are leading the trend away from apathy and towards well, community involvement.
You might find it a bit ironic, being After5 is primarily an entertainment and events magazine, that Im being critical of entertainment. But
the truth is, Im all for it; I just would like to see more people decide to be the change they want to see in the world as well. In short, we
constantly recieve information through images, messages, sensuality and the like. It is time to hit the send button with messages that
make an impact.

May in Grand Forks should go down in the history books as the end of an era. An era, which involved the invention of a new type of projectile (the Taco Bell sauce packet which would splatter on impact) and the discovery of my own faith (true story; more in a bit). Taco Bell on
32nd Avenue has closed and it appears Buffalo Wild Wings on Columbia has shut down as well, evidenced by the lack of signage.
Ive worked at Taco Bell in my high school years back in the day. Every year they said they were going to remodel the thing, but that never
came and I guess, now we know why apparently. It always was stuck in the 1990s, which in its own way was kind of cool itself. The pink and
purple plastic seats and the ugly orange tiles in the back were a flashback to childhood and memories of the ever-immortalized Taco Bell dog
reigned supreme. I was always up front as cashier and I enjoyed it very much because you met so many kinds of interesting people; I didnt
just take peoples orders; I made it an experience worthy of its own primetime reality show (move over, Real World- this is Real Tacos). I wore
the name Rudy on my nickname as it was what everybody called me from high school football (dont laugh). Every weekend through the
5pm to 3am shifts, students from UND would come in, already wasted and would just order an uncomprehensible amount of food, slam
down Mountain Dews and chant RUDY, RUDY, RUDY while I mop up their pop spills. Really. So Im going to miss that place, so many memories. They ought to make it into a fast food museum. Add that to my bucket list.
Buffalo Wild Wings, as I mentioned, has also appeared to have closed. Thats so horrible, whos behind shutting down the two most hip
restaurants in Grand Forks during the same month? I blame the government. But anyways, as a die-hard Steelers fan, this served as my replace ment to the closing of Players (those of you who werent born in the 90s know what Im talking about!). Every Sunday, me and my
good friend Shannon, who was my fifth grade teacher) would load up on wings and enjoy the Steelers destroy teams with its nasty defenses
and irritate the rest of the NFL because they... hit too hard for their own good. But the reason Im sad BWW shut down is because I literally
discovered my faith here. Just happened to be the most ideal place to discuss theology. I mean beer, football and theology; only natural.
If you would like to weep with me over the loss of the 1990s Taco Bell
time-capsule and Buffalo Wild Wings, send me a letter at
After5GF@gmail.com and well post the funniest memories in next
months issue.

2012 is here and one might be able to theorize that, while the rest of the country goes
in its own crazy direction, were sitting pretty
good here in Grand Forks, although it seems
as if Fargo gets first dibs on alot of things. A
few examples, Fargo was the first to get its
own exclusive national events center in the
Fargodome. Also, the NDSU Buffal-er, Bison
were the first to go NCAA Division 1-AA, or
whatever they call it now.
But thats not true anymore. The fantastic
food establishments (among other institutions)of Fargo had come to our town to make
themselves a home. Having lived in Fargo for
a year, I always wished they would come
here anyways. Perhaps Im kind of a nerd in
that way. The moment I found out Pizza
Ranch was staking a flag here, I swear my
eyes watered a tad bit, for a few reasons:one)
I love buffets, two) I love pizza and three)I
love their dessert pizza.
I lost track of all the new restuants coming
to town but we should make them feel welcome in our community anyways, because
its the only way were going to pull in Dave
& Busters and HuHot Mongolian Gril.. But I
will salute those whom I remember and who
has food and goodies in the A+ column.
Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I have never
seen so many potato bags in 500 square feet
or less(note, not actual size of resturaunt). I
remember before that place opened up, thats
all there was. But seriously, their burgers are
huge, juicy and full of energy. Delicious,
none the less and worthy of your federal reserve notes.
Cherry Berry. Ah, Fargos super-sensation
has made it north. Self-serve yogurt bars all
the rage and I was there on their grand-opening when they had free yogurt the entire day.
Unfortunately for me, I was not educated in
cooking or did not have the expertise as to
how to put together a fine piece of dessert because I dumped virtually every ingredient on
my yogurt. Chocolate, passion-fruit, kiwis...
yeah. I was like a kid in a candy shop and just
couldnt keep my hands to myself. I guess
thats exactly what it was. Next time around
wasnt so bad. All the goodies are there, and
Im sure if you spend a few hours prior to
showing up you really could put together a
mean dessert worthy of exposure on The
Food Network.

All that was in the well was dirt and stone lining the bottom. Her father had put boards covering the top so that nothing could get in. It
was so they didnt have stray animals falling
in and rotting causing a putrid smell. But the
boards had become weak and brittle from the
passing of time. The boards were green with
mold and moss growing free.
This gave the little girl a thrill to play on
the boards. She could hear them squeaking
and crack under her feet. It only made her
want to play around the well even more. She
hoped she would see a ghost, thinking that if
she danced on the boards enough they would
show up and take her away with them.
As she stepped on to the boards they bent
a little more than usual this time. The little girl
ignored it as she listened to the rumble of

Lastly, as has been a dream since childhood, we need a multi-level go kart complex,
complete with competitive leagues. Otherwise all of us guys are sitting on the couch
watching NASCAR all day. At least this way
we could get a real chance at growing our
own Dale Earnhardt mustaches and catch
draft.
So, this is a calling for all the millionares
and billionares of Grand Forks to get together
and help Grand Forks grow for real. I know
all of you have been vilified lately by protestors, the media and democrats so this is your
chance to prove youre worth to society. Im
pretty sure if you granted all the wishes mentioned here that the entire Occupy Wall Street
force would go away.
Finally, I want to say that, although it feels
like summer wasnt too long ago and lake
season still exists, that I do not feel sorry for
jumping the gun on Christmas and Winter
because one of my friends brags about his
snowmobile year-round and is constantly
praying for pounds of snow to dump on us
and for the nasty blizzards that follow suit.
So Merry Christmas.

culture and media endorses superficiality and
ultra sexually-charged themes 24/7. No wonder why we see so much abuse today, so
much rape and so much neglect. People just

Im calling for guys to return to something
called chivalry. This is a word that is both
very special to me and holds a tremendous
amount of mystique attached to it. In relationships it means to be the honorable man and
truly and totally respect your loved one. The
beginning paragraph on Wikipedia about the
word reads this:
Chivalry is a term related to the medieval
(Middle Ages) institution of knighthood
which has an aristocratic military origin of individual training and service to others.
Chivalry was also the term used to refer to

by one, are experiencing abuse and neglect whether it is from parents or bad relationships. Many girl friends of mine,
who are incredibly beautiful with tender
hearts, are going through bad relationships. Still other friends of mine are single parents and dont know a single thing
about parenting. I also hear from local
teachers who have students who simply
cant communicate, cant see things from
others perspectives, resulting in serious
ignorance and living a culture of superficiality.
Why? Wheres the love? Why is the
modern family so broken? It breaks my
heart. I feel like Im a North Dakota in
the US, meaning ND is in a well-off
bubble from the rest of the countrys financial distraught, so too am I in a welloff bubble from a lot of my friends.
No, I cant just walk up to people and
say your wounds are healed, get up and
walk! Im not Jesus. But what I can do,
what you can do, is point them in the direction of healing. And theres A LOT of
people who are hurting, believe me. I bet
anything several of YOUR friends are
hurting, but you dont even realize it be-
Some people might know that I also promote concerts in the area. Last month one
of the artists that came to town from San
Jose, California called I AM EMPIRE,
sang songs that are entirely focused on
parental abandonment and healing. The
songs from the album KINGS, a rock
album with a dash of classic rock inspiration. I highly recommend it and music
overall, as a means of healing. Its a call
to unite all those whove gone through
abandonment and abuse. The lyrics are as
follows,
We are the sons and daughters of broken homes
Kings of great peace couldn't compare
to us
Because we are the light wherever
darkness breeds
And we will never bow to them.
