Peace, Love and Five Kinds of Gravy: Let the healing begin in CHOW's magic garden

Last Sunday morning found me a little worse for the weekend wear. But as disjointed text messages lamenting the night before and proposing breakfast started coming in, I realized that compared to my potential dining companions, I was in reasonably good shape. My one-too-many was certainly a far cry from the impressive 3 a.m. nightcap at Starz that one of them reported. I could tell it was going to be a delicate brunch with disaster looming around every corner. The slightest lapse in service or undercooked egg could send someone over the edge. I bargained that the best chance of pleasing four fragile, hungover friends (well, really three hungover and one still drunk) with many and varied sensitivities was CHOW.

When Joan Baez plays here in Bend on Sunday night, it will be exactly 40 years and one day after the legendary folk singer closed the first night of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in Bethel, New York. Yes, that Woodstock.

Just Warming Up: From the remains of Kronkmen and Vihara emerges Warm Gadget

The names of the two men at the helm of this band should be familiar to local music buffs – but the same can't be said of Warm Gadget as a whole or the music this band produces. Colton Williams and Tim Vester have a couple of decades worth of local music experience between them – Williams played in the now-defunct Vihara and Vester served as the hilarious front man of the Kronkmen until just recently – but what they're doing now is nothing like either of those acts.
Warm Gadget is the dark, slightly electronic and mostly industrial brainchild of Williams and something he's been toying with since Vihara disbanded a couple years back.

The Bend City Council hammered through a relatively full docket at its last meeting. Of interest was the narrow passage of a new ordinance that bans all outdoor yard waste burning – and not so much for its policy implications, but for the fact that it showed the council could, at least on one occasion, swing against its conservative majority. In this case Mayor Kathie Eckman, former mayor and councilor Oran Teater and freshman councilor Jeff Eager, all of whom have solid conservative credentials, opposed the burn ban.

The Blender, along with several other Bendites, have safely returned from the Gorge Amphitheater where we took in not one but two glorious days of music from Phish.
We may not be Phish experts, per say, but we think this pair of weekend shows were right up there with the best the band has played — especially Saturday night’s show.
