What advice insecure about the relati end’? do you have for ‘this fri --Friend of a Friend Dear Friend, D Fi d •• •• •• It is brave of your to want to help out your friend. Prior to you considering doing so you should know that this conversation is a very sticky one, and could potentially be a column/ book of its own. Just be thoughtful about the words and ways you present any feedback about the types of men she dates. If you two have a strong relationship she might take it well. If you feel her case is worth the risk then dive in! As for the advice to give to your friend… A 11) You should never go into a relationship thinking that the person you meet “could” become someone great. th People should not be asked to change who they are for P yyou. You either like someone for who they are, imperfecttions and all, or you don’t. 22) In my observation people who pursue relationships with “fixer-uppers” are looking for a bit of positive w aaffirmation themselves. They might be slightly depressed or feel that they are not worthy of anything better than o what they currently have. This, tied to the hope that they w ccan “save” another person, motivates them to keep the relationship going amidst lack of additional chemistry. If this sounds like your friend, you can take a role of affirmer. Help put her in social situations where she can see herself as desirable. This might help her realize that there are more options in her world than she may have previously admitted. ot girl. I know it’s So I work with this way-h e coworkers, but this not a good idea to pursu e had this scenario go girl seems different. I’v d it made work pretty terribly wrong before an e. Anyway, I’m really much hell for a long tim things at work to get into her, but don’t want ld I go about pursuing wacked again. How shou this hottie? --Infatuated Colleague •• •• While I admire your interest in your coworker, I do have to second your sentiments that this is a very touchy area to pursue. I would encourage you to think this through very carefully before you even decide to say anything to her of any flirting tone. A lifetime of awkward water cooler conversation is not worth it unless you truly feel this has a shot, and you know she feels similarly. If you do feel that this is a worthy endeavor I would provide you three words of the most ultimate importance. Take it slow. You as her friend will get the chance to hear all about the good times and the bad with every man she meets which is one of the perks of your role. Just remember that all you can do is care for her, let her know you support her and keep giving her opportunities and support to find that guy that she has not yet opened her eyes to. Trust me, he is out there, When she is ready she will find him. With your support it will be difficult for her to settle for less than she deserves. Be very careful about any physical actions you take with her, nothing is harder than working with someone you fooled around with and regretting it later. Lets make sure this relationship is going to go somewhere first. Hey Doc, Dear Infatuated, 3) Fixer-uppers also typically have an edge to them that draws those seeking excitement and risk. Women love them for the same reasons they love chocolate and trashy television shows, because they shouldn’t. This excitement is probably fun, unpredictable and even thrilling at times which enhances the draw. The unfortunate beauty of this unpredictable fun is that it is as unpredictable in good times as in bad. This volatile opportunity is too much to turn away given the chance to be “the one” who turned this helpless case of a man into a winner! IIf you decide to talk to her about this, be very careful with your words. You do not want to be point blank with her at first. Delaying any awkward work moments is of your utmost priority. Just ask her if she wants to join you and some friends (ideally other work friends) to hang out some night after work. Find a social setting that is non-threatening for the group and try to get to know basics about each other so you can get a vibe for how she responds to you. If you feel good about your interaction, decide on a very casual setting for the two of you to chat in private. In the off chance you do end up getting the opportunity to go on a date with her and things do not go well, the best course of action for you is no action. Let her go on with her life, and you do your best to go on with yours. Continuing to pursue something that is not mutual rarely ends up in success. Let her go. Just remember to contemplate your options and the residual effects of the potential of you moving forward with pursuing her. If you feel there is a chance, take it slow and see what happens. If you get bad vibe from her, walk away. There are plenty of women out there for you to date that you don’t work with. Be patient and you will find one of them! Need dating or relationship advice?

This family band features Michael Blue, his daughter Claire and son Benjamin, all on lead vocals, and son Mike Jr. on the drums! T-Bone Coen plays keyboards and Trevor Radtke plays bass. This couple zeroes in on the very seeds of American roots, folk and blues. Joe combines driving rhythms, a reedy, raggedy rasp of a voice and exquisitely distilled tunesmithing–’selling’ it all with such meticulously-crafted (if sometimes pointedly raw) guitar picking that even his instrumentals seem to tell discernible tales.

With so many athletes from the area participating in MMA, he figured there had to be some good support. He quickly learned the ropes of promotion, and started having shows in the horse barn at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds. Attendance at BB has grown from about 200 to 3000 attendees. Klair, together with Mickey Clark, often takes the shows to Graham Arena (when available) or outdoors at Mickey’s Irish Saloon. 0905507770P •• 4 IMMEDIATE EXPOSED 8 EXPOSED September, 2007 •• MUSING ABOUT By Sarah Shonyo T he auditorium lights beat down on my square black hat as I fought to maintain consciousness. I squinted at the back of the guy’s head in front of me. Either my mind was playing tricks on me, or the fumes from his cologne were actually causing visible atmospheric changes. At the signal of the usher, I heaved my body out of the chair and shuffled toward the stage, relieved to escape the Stetson assault. “Sarah Elizabeth…” the professional name announcer paused. “Shonyo!” I hissed. “Shahhhn-yo!” That was it. A relatively anticlimactic conclusion to a college career that was anything but. Of course, operating on 45 minutes of sleep following a night of farewell college indiscretions didn’t exactly leave me in a reflective mood. In fact, between the incessant sniffling from the mousey blonde to my left and lack of olfactory discretion from Stetson man, the entire experience was more nauseating than touching. Nevertheless, where I entered the auditorium as a lowly student, I exited as an honest to goodness real person. Now what? Between final exams, term papers, packing, and “fixing” the holes in our apartment walls with mint-colored toothpaste, I actually had time to apply for a real job. Much to my amazement, I was offered the chance to interview for the position. Because the job was in Rochester, I hopped the Wisconsin border and stayed with my parents the night before the interview. After dinner, as I absentmindedly scraped a piece of dried rice off my sleeve, my mother asked what I was planning to wear the next day. The subsequent silence served as my answer. I didn’t own any nice clothes. I hadn’t worn anything without an elastic waistband since 2001. Faced with absolutely no options other than my strapless mauve prom dress from 11th grade, I swallowed my have reeked of responsibility – I was extended the job offer two days after the interview. Thrilled with my accomplishment, I decided to push the dependability envelope with what I thought to be the ultimate acquisition: a dog. A perfect way, I reasoned, to prepare myself for the inevitable condemnations associated with parenthood. Within a week I had adopted a four year old pit-terrier beagle (or something) matic. Clean, nice-smelling, and free – but traumatic. And so, in an effort to make my life as hard as possible, I decided to buy a house. Sure, buying a three bedroom, two bath house with a finished basement may have been a bit of an overkill, but I really liked the paint colors and thought it would be nice to have the extra space. For what, exactly, I’m still not sure. I didn’t own a bed, a table, a cookie sheet, or any towels without “Sarah S.” written on the tag, but I owned a house. Buying a typical starter home would with a white beard and 11 curiously positioned teats. Eyeing me suspiciously from the backseat during the drive home, she let me get through four rousing rounds of “How Much is that Doggy in the Window” before vomiting all over herself. That pretty much set the tone for our relationship. have made sense, given that I’m a single woman whose only dependent is a 35 pound dog, but the banker said I could “technically afford” anything under $125,000. It seemed that not spending it all would be like wasting the last 43 cents on a gift card. As much as I was enjoying the transition from the reckless abandon of college to the relative maturity of adulthood, it was hard to work the independent woman angle while squatting in my parents’ basement. I am neither embarrassed nor ashamed to admit that I had no idea what I was doing. Really, I made it all up as I went. Uncertainty was my norm, and if I ever said otherwise I was lying through my teeth. Albeit, a basement that housed a flat screen television, DVD player, computer, a full bath, and more square footage than my previous three apartments combined. As grateful as I was, the shift from living in sub-standard apartments with crunchy carpet to suddenly finding “Sarah Beara, please empty the dishwasher.

IT CAN HAPPEN! •• 3 Stories About 3 Local Couples: One Dating, One Engaged, One Married! •• •• •• •• •• By Renee Berg It can happen, so check your pessimism at the door. You’ve read the lists advising wannabe boyfriends and girlfriends to check for potential mates at the grocery store or in line at the ATM. “You never know when you’ll meet someone!” friends coo when you’re down on your luck in love. •• •• September, 2007 •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• EXPOSED And then there’s the bar, where plenty of people have become smitten on stools and dance floors. Some later change their story, they say they met their beloved at the church social -- this is for Grandma Esther’s benefit, but in fact it all started over frothy beers and salt-rimmed margaritas. Or with 20 questions, as one Rochester women says her now-boyfriend kicked off their get-to-know-you session, or with a swapped business card, as another recalls – a woman who later said “I do” to the card’s owner – or with a one-night stand that turned into coffee in the morning, hand-picked flowers and Easter dinner with the rellies. So have heart, your dateless streak could end one night. When you’re wearing a baseball cap, because you’re still recovering from last night’s revelry. It could happen just as it did for these couples, one dating, one engaged, one wed. + Couple One JODI ENGLE & BEN MOON Dating! It was a Tuesday night and she was with a friend, but he headed home early. Jodi stayed for another round at Shar’s Country Palace in Rochester because a guy with an intriguing voice and looks was standing nearby. “I thought, ‘This is a guy with a story,’ so I hung around.” Soon enough he started talking to her. “It was an interview actually,” Jodi says. “Where I worked, did I want to get married and have kids, the typical stuff. We hit it off.” They spent that night at her place, and Ben stayed for coffee in the morning. He left his name and number but Jodi was still considering it a one-night stand until she ran into him at Shar’s a few nights later. Ben said he’d been waiting for her call. His friend went further: “He’s been talking about you non-stop.” Jodi liked Ben’s pastimes -- hunting and fishing -- and that he seemed non judgmental. He scored points for his devotion to family, for picking Jodi flowers rather than buying roses, for not being divorced, for not having kids. “It’s the same thing with me,” Jodi says. “It’s nice to find someone who, eventually if you do get married and have kids, you can start that life together.” 15 16 EXPOSED September, 2007 + Couple Two JUSTIN WEAVER & JENNIFER SCHMIDT Engaged! This couple is headed to the altar this month, and their romance began at Rochester’s Westfire Grille. Justin was meeting friends and part of the gang was a cute nurse who didn’t mind that he was hobbling on crutches. Or that he lived with his mother, or wasn’t working because he was on medical leave. The group met up again another night, chatted more and Justin left with Jennifer’s phone number. Their first real date was dinner at Whistle Binkie’s Olde World Pub and a movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia.” “I got brave and grabbed her hand and she didn’t pull away, so I figured she must have liked me at least a little bit,” Justin says. Jennifer says she liked him straight away – he was tall, cute and slightly nerdy with his glasses on. A bit shy too, but after a few dates she managed to draw him out. “I was so calm with him and comfortable, and usually I’m not comfortable with people right away,” she says, knowing then that Justin was her for-life guy. He later popped the question over dinner at Victoria’s. Jennifer’s mechanic was dressed in somewhat formal attire (fibbing and claiming that all of his other duds were dirty), when he got down on one knee and proposed. They’re having their groom’s dinner at Victoria’s this month, then they’ll get married and head to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. He thinks she’s cute in her navy RN scrubs, they cook together and watch movies. He says their met-in-a-bar story is nothing extravagant, but it matters not. “When you meet someone you want to spend your life with, it doesn’t matter where it was,” he says. + Couple Three BETH AND WALTER BROICH IV Married! For this smart, sassy, outgoing brunette, meeting men in bars was nothing new. During college, she hooked up with a guy whose girlfriend was sitting nearby – that was Bill, for whom she moved from her native Minnesota to California. And who broke up with her two years after it began, just before the holidays. She was still recovering from the split (envision a first class ticket home, a U-Haul full of stuff arriving later) when friends invited her to Sunday breakfast in Minneapolis. They were setting her up, but the guy intended for her “wasn’t interested,” she recalls. Instead she struck up a conversation with a group of 20-somethings sharing their table at the busy Uptown eatery. At some point, someone cracked a joke and the man next to her glanced over. “Then I noticed his really, really blue eyes,” she says. Beth, meet Walt. The breakfast ended with food eaten, drinks downed, but no numbers exchanged. Until she was on the sidewalk headed for the car. Then Beth felt a pull. “I turned around and there was a girl from the table,” she says. “She had Walt’s business card and his home phone number was written on the back.” It’d be Beth’s loss if she didn’t go out with him, the woman warned. Beth called a few days later, during the day, and left a message so Walt could choose whether he wanted to respond. A safe, little test to gauge his true interest, she figured. He called on a Thursday night and they talked for more than two hours – impressive for the typically reserved Walt, a guy’s guy who likes to hunt big game – and arranged to go out for their first date. After the second date, they were together daily. Beth liked that he was four years older, had his own condo and owned his own chiropractic firm. Her outgoing nature paired with his reserve “balances us out,” she says. They got married on Aug. 11, 2001, and have a son. Through them, Walt’s best friend paired off with Beth’s sister – now they’re wed too, which makes family gatherings all the more pleasant. Walt’s family loves to prod the couple to tell their tale of finding love over her Screwdriver and his Bloody Mary. Her family likes it too, especially the part where she forecasted their future well before the first date. “I remember having his card and going over to my parents’ house the next day,” Beth says. “I said, ‘I met a doctor,’ and my Dad said, ‘A chiropractor isn’t exactly a doctor.’” Close enough. “It’ll say doctor on the wedding invitations,” she replied. It did. •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• September, 2007 •• & Fit Carol Price, Owner Lingerie from nice to naughty and party supplies to make you blush. Loving Fun has something for everyone.

He’s only been playin’ for a year and a half.” I couldn’t really respond. All of my senses were overwhelmed. With the usual ‘bar’ smell and a swig of my beer, I watched intently as the band members were captivating characters making totally rockin’ music.“Whoa!” I thought. (“Whoa” more like The Fonz from Happy Days versus Joey from Blossom.) “Check that guy out?” The lead singer–he was pretty goth, sounded great and was way intense. (You’re going to have to wait for my upcoming deal about that guy. You really won’t believe it.) After a few songs, I knew I was going to stay at The North Star all night. I really couldn’t get my eyes and ears off the band Bakkus and that left stage guitarist, Ruben Bonilla Guerrero! That first time I saw Bakkus was a couple of years ago. Now I’ve seen them a lot. When I watch and listen to them, I’m still blown away. I listen to a lot of recorded music, and the covers Bakkus plays are rock with precision, and are close to perfection. It’s easier to hear the right notes of a singer’s voice than the notes of a guitar, but I can tell you that Mr. Guerrero hits ‘em every time. Perhaps it’s because his day job is working for the Mayo Clinic in Cancer Research, but it’s also because Ruben respects those who create the music – and in turn, he plays it just for the music’s sake. “I try to do the best that I can in my work and my music,” stated Ruben.“To me, there’s not much difference. In medicine you need to read and prepare. You need to be humble, allowing peers and superiors to criticize your work and point out mistakes without getting upset. You know you know, but you know that you don’t know enough compared to your peers. You are still able to work •• •• •• •• •• •• •• September, 2007 •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• EXPOSED 19 MY DEAL well, to be your best, to be one of the best, but at the same time there is always somebody superior to you who knows more and is able to correct you.” Ruben then expounded further on the comparison. “We (the band members) know what we know. We know what we can do and we know what we cannot do. We are humble, too. Any one of us, at any given time, can stop a practice and say,‘Stop right there. You did that wrong. It didn’t sound right.’ We don’t get upset. We ask questions like ‘what happened?’ or ‘how should I be doing it?’ We correct the issue right there and get it done right. I think that level of perfection is important.” Ah! There it is – perfection. I saw the dude playin’ it, I told you about it, and now you heard it (read it), right from himself. “In medicine, you cannot afford a mistake because we’re talking about people’s lives. In music, in a different weight and scale, you don’t have the luxury to make a mistake because a song does not lie. Music does not lie. Either you play it right or you play it wrong. I always try to play the piece the closest to perfect as I can. In medicine and in music, you have to be the closest to perfect. We are not perfect, but I think it doesn’t hurt to try to be as close to perfect as you can.” Ultimately, everyone in Bakkus has similar standards. Ruben remarked,“We hold each other at a very high standard and that has... kept us together. My band members are like family. I mean, we’re like brothers. Brothers who fight, kick each other, who really love each other. And I know that any one of us can call another anytime and say, ‘Hey dude, I need this’ or ‘Help me’ or whatever. Actually last year, September 6, was the saddest day of my life – I lost my mother. My band members are the ones who actually held me together and helped me through the rough times by playing music with them and just spending time with them, people who care for you and doing what you like to do.” As you can see, Ruben holds his band mates in very high regard.“We are very different. We have different backgrounds... different jobs, different kinds of family, different personalities. We are very diverse but that is good because that fills the whole soul of the band. We look different. We act very different and everybody’s got their own things going on. But, behind all of that is the fact that we hold very similar values overall and keep the quality of the music the highest it can be.” When Bakkus decides on a certain song, Ruben is assured that the other band members work and play to their best ability. For himself, that means learning the song note by note.“I do two things. I listen to the music and get a music sheet. I listen to the entire structure of the song and then break it into pieces... then learn it that way with the music sheet. Section by section. Note by note. That is when I am ready. I am not the one that goes,‘Yeah, I kind of know I can get through it.’ I can’t. I can’t do that. That’s not me. I need to know the song. A lot of people think that is a bit obsessive. I don’t. It is just a way to get things done right. If you want to play a song the way it is supposed to be played, you need to play it right. You have to be faithful to the person who originally came up with the idea, spend the time and have the knowledge to put everything together... (out of) respect to them.” So who do you think Ruben gives his utmost respect? None-other-than Ozzy Osbourne – and his current guitarist Zakk Wylde. Why exactly? “Ozzy has an extraordinary ear for extraordinary talent,” explained Ruben. “I would say at the same time, his wife Sharon is a good business person – someone else who knows how to identify a person, besides the music, who has the presence and ability to transcend through the people and become an image. That is why Zakk is a guitar playing icon.” To go along with his respect of Osbourne and Wylde, Guerrero tries to mimic them. Perhaps one of the greatest things about him, other than his perfect guitar playing, is his rocker stance. I told him how cool he looked up there on stage goin’, “Dun, dun, dunnin, dun, dun, dunnin!” Ruben responded,“I first thought it came from imitating Zakk, but after a while I realized that is the way I play. That’s the way my hands feel comfortable with the make of the guitar. I can go from cords to notes and notes to cords very fast and concise in that position. It’s not just a pose, it’s actually the way I play.” After Ruben’s Ode to Zakk Wylde, I wanted to know about his favorites. We talked about Johnny Cash and Elvis, both of which he is a fan, but I kind of knew what his answers to my next few questions would be. I asked Ruben what his favorite guitar riff was. Yes, of course it came from an Ozzy guitarist, but actually he has three – from three different Ozzy Osbourne guitarists. First: The Mob Rules by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath Second: Over the Mountain by Randy Rhoads with Ozzy Third: Miracle Man by Zakk Wylde with Ozzy What is Ruben’s favorite song? Mr. Crowly by Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads Favorite Album? Don’t think too far off from what you have already read. However, Ruben is a showman, so he is all about the solo and the live album. Well, here we are again. Favorite Three Albums: First: Tribute by Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads (to Randy Rhoads) Second: Live at Budokan by Ozzy Osbourne with Zakk Wylde Third: The World Slavery Tour 1984 by Iron Maiden with various guitarists. One of the ‘similar values’ each band member possesses is caring about people and causes. Bakkus has done many benefits. “Somebody asks us if we can do this – for free, and we play for four hours,” says Ruben. On September 8th the band will be giving their all for another benefit – this one for military families throughout Southeast Minnesota, at Strikers in Stewartville. What a perfect time for you to watch and listen to the band as you give to someone in need! 20 EXPOSED September, 2007 MY DEAL Ruben Bonilla Guerrero - BIO on guitar, a defining moment that took him directly to the local music school in Mexico to take guitar lessons. Sadly, Metal was not even close to being listened to or taught in music schools in his native Mexico. In a way, Reuben forgot about his desire to learn guitar until he was given a Gibson Les Paul Custom by a famous guitar player (Just look at his guitars and you will know who that is). Coming from Mexico, Ruben is among the best lead guitar players in Rochester. Throw in the fact that he has been playing for less than two years, and his playing ability is incredible. His desire to be perfect drives the rest of the band to do the same. Influenced by Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Tony Iommy and Ace Frehley, Ruben loves to make his guitar sing and squeal like a stuck pig. When he is not playing with the band, he is a worldrenowned cancer researcher at the Mayo Clinic. Ruben discovered music at the age of 6 and took piano lessons until the age of 12, when he listened to KISS for the first time and found himself trapped by the sound of electric guitar. A friend then gave him an LP, (yes, an LP record) of Ozzy Osbourne, with Randy Rhoads He immediately started guitar lessons here in town. With the help of brutal 2 hour long guitar practice sessions every day at home, he was finally able to play the music that he had listened to for the first time 23 years ago. Ruben is a very fortunate person; thanks to his work and dedication as a physician (in the search for the cure of cancer and in the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism) he is able to afford the very best music gear. But don’t be mistaken by these facts about him; he is one of the most humble guys you will ever meet. He uses Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop guitars, a Jackson Randy Rhoads “Concord” guitar and a Karl Sandoval Randy Rhoads Polka Dot guitar (coming soon) loaded with GHS Boomers custom shop strings (10 1/2, 13 1/2, 17, 36, 48, 56 for standard tuning and 11, 14, 18, 36, 48, 58 for low tuning) stereo powered by two Marshall JCM 800 sounding to a full stacks of Marshall Cabinets loaded with Celestion 75W speakers; all these modulated by a Jim Dunlop Wylde Wah and Rotovibe pedals while enhanced by a MXR EVH phase 90, Wylde overdrive ZW-44 and a Stereo Chorus M-134; everything connected with Monster Prolink Rock cables. Ruben’s goal to be powered by two stereo JCM 800 full stacks was fulfilled not long ago, by saving all his proceeds from the band to buy his second Marshall full stack. So don’t surprised when you come to one of the shows and you see a wall of Marshalls behind a little beast of Mexican guitar player. •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• September, 2007 21 EXPOSED •• Peavey, Mackie & Fender •• •• Amplifiers & Sound Systems WE DRIVE YOU AND YOUR CAR HOME SAFELY 2007 SUZUKI XL7 And Over 150 Acoustic & Electric Guitars 507.208.0879 MIDSIZE CROSSOVER SUV $23,534.00 • Available 7-passenger seating and AWD • 3.6L DOHC V6 engine with VVT and 252 hp—more standard hp than Highlander, Pilot or Santa Fe1 • More interior volume than Highlander or Santa Fe2 • Available navigation or DVD system • Standard Electronic Stability Progra (ESP®)3 including traction control system (TCS) • Front and 3-row side-curtain airbags4 AVAILABLE Monday thru Saturday 15 N.
