The Romance is back at The Columbian Theatre in time
for Valentine’s DayWAMEGO – Barefoot in the Park, Origi-nally a hit Broadway play by Neil Simon, where the main characters, newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter, were played by Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley. It was made into a movie and released in May 1967. Again, the lead role was played byRobert Redford. This time his leading lady was Jane Fonda. Even today this romantic comedyremains a popular show for live theatre.The story follows the lives of Paul (Mark Young) and Corie Bratter (Diana Watts) as they adjust to married life in a tiny Green-wich Village apartment. Paul is a straight as an arrow lawyer who's wound a little too tight, while Corie is a free spirit who won't let anything disturb her romantic bliss. Aside from the five-flight climb to their apartment, the Bratters must also contend with their eccentric upstairs neighbor Victor Velasco (Kim Riley). Corie hatches a plot to get her mother (Christy Collette) together with Mr. Velasco, but the entire evening goes awry and even casts doubt on the viability of the Bratters' new marriage, as Corie tries unsuccessfully to loosen Paul up. The production is directed by Ginny Pape and includes special appearances by Richard Philbrook as the telephone repair man and cameo spots by unique guests.
Barefoot in the Park will run Feb. 7-10 and 14-17. The tickets for the show on Feb.
7th are sold exclusively by the Sertoma Club as a fundraiser, which will include a dinner catered by The Friendship House. This is a great date show for Valentine’s Day. Let the Columbian help you make it a special night. Table-style seating will be available for the last two rows and consists of a round table that seats two. A cash bar will be available an hour before the performance and through intermission.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students and children, or we have the option of VIP table seating for $30. These can be pur-chased at the Columbian Theatre Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are also avail-able during those hours by phone at (785) 456-2029 or anytime on the website: www.ColumbianTheatre.com.

aggie station: Raising the bar in the “new” Villenew food, new looks, and live music at last!
jimbo ivy
written with as much bias as possible by
The 2000’s in Aggieville have been a time of birth, death and rebirth. Classic franchises such as Kite’s
and Rusty’s have burst forth into newness after years or decades of slumber. The repeal of the 30% food requirement in 2004 unleashed a host of new marquees such that, as to quote one veteran bar owner, “Anyone with a keg box and neon could start up a bar after that.” But in the latter half of the first decade and up to current times, a palpable trend towards improving quality, style and improvement has begun in the Ville, creating a new generation of bars and restaurants that strive to be unique, not just one of many.
Aggie Station is not a new moniker, as the name harkens back to old Aggieville, but this current itera-tion with its black and gold accents, patterned wallpaper and high-end menu is not simply looking to imitate but expand on its pedigree. Part of three interconnected bars owned and run by Brian Berry and
Shannon Collins, Aggie Station is the middle child in the development, but certainly as ambitious as The Kathouse was when it hit the scene as the Ville’s first attempt at a true nightclub feel. Now, Aggie Central Station, the newest part of the trio has opened between Kathouse and Station, as the Ville’s newest and most active live music venue, with over 40 acts booked during the next few months, ranging from local to national tours.
I caught up with owners Berry and Collins to discuss the evolution from Kathouse to Station to Central. “We wanted the Kathouse to be a new level of style and entertainment,” says Berry, “And at first, we really wanted it to be a live entertainment venue.” But over the years, The Kathouse proved to be much more friendly to club-style dancing and lounging than concerts, even though
many have performed there. “With Aggie Station, it’s a pretty simple
Stylish decor is a Station hallmarkPork Belly Burger, Mac and
Cheese, and Veggie Stew!

recipe; gastropub, all the way,” says Collins, nodding to a tray of sumptu-ous food heading out towards the dining room. “And now with Central, we have three bars, different feels, all that can be flowed from one to the other depending on how you’re feeling that night.”
“What’s a Gastropub?” I ask Rus-sel Maddux, Chef at Aggie Station. Russell laughs in a knowing way and then gestures to the menu between us, “It’s a pub or bar that also serves common food, grub...in the U.K. this would be fish and chips, pies, and other common house dishes.”
In America, the term has come to describe bars that have a focus on common cuisine in a gourmet fashion. For example, Station serves a pork belly mac an cheese that is quite a bit more refined and delicious than your average kid’s meal. “It ain’t blue box,” Russell says, as I devour it.
The food items on the menu range from relatively simple to, as I joked to Maddux, unpro-nounceable for a hick like myself. And while the average item price is a bit above $10, the cost is in the quality of the ingredients. “We use Kansas Angus beef, free-range chicken and we’re making deals to switch to local only produce whenever we can help it.”
Formerly of The Man-hattan Country Club and stints in the NYC restaurant scene, Maddux is an alche-mist of flavors and styles at Station. By presenting comfort foods such as mac and cheese and the common pub burger with gourmet qual-ity ingredients and preparation, Maddux has already converted many Manhattanites with his Pork Belly Burger, Duck Fat Fries, and Cottage Pie. “It’s like...Sunday at Grandma’s house,” says Evan Tuttle, Ex-ecutive Director of the Aggieville Business As-sociation, regarding the Cottage Pie, swirling with lamb and flavored
with Guinness. .
Next door to the kitchen, is a set of double doors that open in the newest member of the Kathouse-Station family, Aggie Central Station. “This is just the natural expansion,” Berry says, eyeing the expansive 350 ca-pacity room with high ceilings and a large dance floor. Located directly between Kathouse and Aggie Sta-tion, with the purchase of the old Longhorn’s Saloon space, Berry now can connect all three of his bars for
one experience. Known for live mu-sic among country and red dirt fans, not many Aggieville patrons outside of those tastes have even set foot in the Central location.
“I had no idea it was this big in here,” mutters Sarah Reynolds, junior in Business Administration. Reynolds was part of the forty or so people at the first Open Mic and Lo-
cal Love night held in the new space on Wednesday, January 23rd. The night commenced with an open mic that quickly became oversold and then a performance by local rockers Delicious Friction, all in conjunction with The Manhattan Music Coalition and The Hype Weekly. Central Sta-tion plans to be home to live music Wednesday thru Saturday during the school year and active even dur-ing the off months.
Acts booked thus far range in size from local rockers to national touring acts, in hopes of sparking the interest of the col-lege and local crowds. Rather than strictly country or rock, Cen-tral Station plans to book everything hip-hop to bluegrass. “We want everyone to know that this place is for all music, not just one or two crowds, but all genres, all fans,” says Berry.
Shockingly, a majority of the shows at Central
Station will not have a cover. “We understand that paying bands is part of doing business for us, and tak-ing care of them means that they’ll be back with more fans next time.
No, not until we hit national or big regional acts will be have a cover.” And with a price tag general from three to seven thousand dollars for single night’s perfor-mance, a cover is pretty understand-able in those cases.
New digs, new food, new live mu-sic scene growing
suddenly under the banner of Cen-tral...Aggie Station and its connected siblings are raising the bar in terms of nightlife here in the Ville, and the best part is that others up and down Moro are already following suit.

THIS WEEK IN MHK...
Ongoing AttractionsMonday Through Friday9AM-5PM
Weekend Hours May Vary
The Big Picture ShowStrecker-Nelson GalleryFor the first exhibit of 2013, a selec-tion of large scale photographs by Tim Forcade, George Jerkovich and Tom Parish will be featured in the main gal-lery. In addition, there will be ceramics by Sheldon Ganstrom, as well as interior paintings by Lisa Calzavara, abstracts of Venice by Bev Gegen, paintings by Kath-leen Kuchar, and lighthearted paintings by Marie Mason.
Konza: Sculpture by John Doug-las PowersBeach Museum of ArtA site-specific, kinetic sculpture evokes the Konza Prairie outside Manhattan. Powers’ work is constructed of brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. When set into motion by an electric motor, the piece’s over 1,100 vertical brass rods sway rhythmically like tall grass in the wind.
FORCES: The Shaping of Man-hattan, Fort Riley and Kansas State University Flint Hills Discovery CenterThis exhibit is a partnership between the Riley County Historical Museum; the U.S. Cavalry Museum, Fort Riley; Conserva-tion and Restoration Branch, Fort Riley; the Costume and Textile Museum, KSU; and the KSU archives. The exhibit explores the period between 1853 and 1914: our pioneer beginnings, the transition to building a community, and growth into the 20th century.
Inadvertent Arson: Paintings and Drawings by Patrick Duegaw Beach Museum of ArtPatrick Duegaw, K-State alumnus and founding member of Wichita’s Fisch Haus artist cooperative, presents the latest installment of his ongoing “Painted Theater Project.” Conceived as a theatrical performance, Duegaw’s “Inadvertent Ar-son” incorporates painted portraits, props, and sets as surrogates for living actors, three-dimensional objects, and a stage. Action is implied instead of performed, and a dialogue appears in the form of artist-generated text that accompanies each portrait.
These and many more
at the Inadvertant
Arsonist Exhibit!

the laziest art reviewsomething we promised ourselves
the hypester(with some credit to Keegan D. Hudspeth)
we weren’t going to do, by
At the Strecker-Nelson Gallery Friday evening it was the opening of the “Big Picture” exhibit. I hung out at the back scrutinizing what was tucked away in the corridors, among the energetic watercolors of Kathleen Kuchar. Being far too lazy to generate my own opinions, I called forth a Great Artist and tossed him some ex-tremely pointed, leading questions.
Hypester: So uh, like, what’s the what, here?
Keegan: I liked Kathleen Kuchar’s work a great deal because of how vibrant the compositions were and
how active they were color-wise.
Hypester: Right, she had color compositions you liked.
These weren’t strictly paintings at all but watercolor monotypes. Not only did her work feature highly saturated color, and dynamic active compositions, but the character of
the work evoked a strange mix between Kandinsky, and in some places Francis Bacon. Paintings like The Other Side, The Other Side II, New Life, and My Second Fish were vibrant, active, and at times even chaotic, but not in a way that was truly distracting. Kuchar finds a balance be-tween the saturated color and muting fields in the com-position in order to create an effective
planar move-ment between the active ele-ments of the painting and the more pas-sive elements.
I wasn’t re-ally a fan. Yet. There were some I liked; The Other Side and Break Through fit together nar-ratively; as Keegan put it, in Break Through you’re looking at a window from the outside, and in Other Side you’re there in the room. The color
is balanced, but it’s also used intel-ligently.
Mixed-media work like “Woven in Time” got a little chalky and indis-tinct. According to some, it’s one of those risks you take with making a
big body of work. Some days you feel it, and you make one or two really nice pieces that you’re satis-fied with. The other days of the week you could squat out some-thing that doesn’t really look that great. For some of her work, like the ones that involve buildings and animals, they had too many child-like qualities that made the work appear amateurish.Trout Revisited came to mind as he told me that.
Hypester: there’s a flatness to

a lot of them that keeps me from looking INTO the painting. Either she’s better with human shapes/motifs than animal ones, or I just prefer looking at human shapes/motifsThere was something about the color schemes that counteracted the vibrancy of some of the color. Often, instead of contrasting vibrant with dark colors, she contrasted vibrant with dullishness. When I walked away from Lyrical Landscape, I walked away with the overwhelming impression of blah, even in spite of vivid reds and oranges.
Spite is pretty much my favorite thing.
I was looking at The Other Side II. Staring for quite a while, actually. Suddenly I felt like I was a fan.
Keegan: Other Side II I liked, but in such a way that I pitied the figure in the piece. The figure appears worn and indistinct, we can almost feel that the hand prints are some-thing that the person used to mark the glass on a two way mirror in which we observe the subject of the painting. There’s a desperation and a loneliness to the image.
Hypester: A ghostliness. and the blue surrounding it is soft and foggy, heightening that loneliness
You can tell that the ground of the painting started out as something else, which helps that feeling. Whatever it was going to be is dead. It’s like she was maybe trying for a

landscape and then it became this sort of quasi-figurative painting. Those hands up front also increase the sense of multiple layers to the scene. They’re in front, the body is behind, that fog fills the space between and goes who knows where else
Keegan: Definitely a multilayered image in both subject and context, so a successful and sort of pleas-antly uncomfortable piece.

Review: “A Mixed Tape” by paul nyakaturaJordan Mizell
rap-luminated by
A Mixed Tape by Paul Nyakatura is absolutely interesting. As a fan of Paul’s comedy, this is like taking his comedy and compressing it into something even more consumable. Apart from the fact that I still don’t understand why people call CD’s and Downloadable content mixed tapes. I have to wonder if he actually has this on a cassette tape. So as a person who rarely listens to rap music, I’ll give my best review of Paul’s tracks. With a powerful use of dic-tion that actually make sense when paired together, Paul already held my attention. His words draw you in demanding you listen carefully for references seldom used in this genre. Settling into a very specific form of nerdcore he strikes at issues dipped in humor. In a time where most rap music I come across makes little to no sense at all; to me this record sells itself. Which is convenient as it’s available for free at Paul’s site. http://paulnyakatura.com/music/ Let’s face it, most rap music deals with
three simple themes... money, women, and drugs. While Paul references all of these; the way he goes about it is quite nontradi-tional of his rap patriarchs. Those themes are often times down played to suit the genre, while the core of his content files in systematically replacing the humdrum similar symbolism with abrasive adjectives used to stimulate your mind. A tasty word smorgasbord.
His beats are creepily intense, bringing in imagery of the coming apocalypse. These tracks could exorcise demons as they feel like the sound tracks to horror movies you haven’t seen yet. All with better dialogue and humor than any Wayans’ Brother Par-ody. Sparking a desire to rise up and then sit back down and listen some more. With a spattering of his eerie laugh throughout the tracks. Honestly, it’s hard to compare it to anything else: which is powerful in a world of music that piggybacks on the same thing over and over again. The only thing I could possibly compare it to is “That Handsome Devil” extracting the rockabilly and insert-ing bass thumping beats. However, the way Paul spins his visceral verbiage holds true to that same tone. Casting truth and mes-
sages behind the com-edy he crafts through his lyrics. Making you realize just how much depth is actually there. No matter how much he would argue against it. I genuinely enjoyed this entire album and rec-ommend it for any fans of rap, music lov-ers, or just people that enjoy poetry set to a beat. Sign yourself up for his unique blend of all things Paul and if you don’t know him this will be an excellent crash course down Nyakatura lane. Fasten your seat belts and
adjust your rearview mirror... this piece is going crazy.
Paul would like to give
credit to all who produced. Manhattan's own F14 (ABE & WAYNE) (F14Life.com) produced 45% and 27% was produced by Wamego-native and other half of my hip hop duo, FACEFACE, Ryan Lee Toms (R-L-T) (ryanleetoms.bandcamp.com)
