MEET YOUR STEEZ-E-BOARD a Letter from the President CAL POLY POMONA BARKADA’S September 2011 Volume 32 Issue 1 MEET YOUR STEEZ-E-BOARD A Letter from the President Kamusta! Hello everyone! My name is Shea Salinas and I am the President of Barkada for the 2011-2012 academic year. For the past 32 years Barkada has been one of the major staples of Pilipino Culture here at Cal Poly Pomona, pro- viding a comfortable environment for students to learn about Pilipino traditions, heritage, and current issues. Promoting Pilipino culture has been and will always be Barkada’s main objective, and we stay true to that by having various workshops during Pilipino American heritage month in October and having our annual Pilipino American Culture Night (PACN): a full length production that is writ- ten, directed, and produced by all of our members. But Barkada has expanded its horizons which includes everything from beach days and socials to running SPORTSFEST, the biggest Pilipino sports tournament in southern California. Over the past 32 years, Barkada has evolved beyond the confines of a “club;” it is no longer an entity that only offers its members an opportunity to go to meetings or a few events, it has become so much more than that. For some, Barkada has become a home away from home, a shelter from the daily struggles of college life, and most importantly, people have come to consider it a second family which I can personally attest to. To the returning members, welcome back! We hope you had a great sum- mer, but it feels good to get everyone back together so we can all hang out at the API again. To the freshmen, welcome to college and I know it is cli-shea to say this but these are the best times of your life so make the most of it. And if there is anything you need; help with classes, want to know where the best places to eat are, or just want to hang out, don’t hesitate to hit us up. This is only the beginning of a great year and I hope your guys are ready for all the fun times ahead. Sincerely, Shea Salinas “You can’t design your life like a building. It doesn’t work that way. You just have to live it, and it will design itself.” Name: Dillon Sanchez Year: 3rd Historian Rating: Stormtrooper For the most part, you can probably recognize me since I’ll always be hauling my camera, but not just because I’m Historian; rather, photography is a hobby of mine. I try to hustle some money for it too because, let’s face it, in the words of the Joker, “If you’re good at something, never do it for free”. Need a photo-shoot? Hit me up. Don’t need one? Hit me up. I am co-owner of ORI9INALNINE. When I’m bored or trying to distract myself from school or any other responsibilities, I’ll probably be on Tumblr. Do not follow my example. All things aside, I’m usually the quietest, but I’m not unapproachable. It’s just that I prefer listening rather than talking. Hmm.. I wish I was an architect major. Let’s just say I didn’t know how not to be random in this section. Musical taste: Hip-Hop and R&B. Major: Civil Engineering TV: How I Met Your Mother, Naruto, While I listen to all kinds of hip-hop, I Avatar: The Last Airbender } On Barkada: Barkada is something you particularly listen to the type that you Currently reading: I don’t really read any- can’t just figure out right away simply can lounge and chill to like a lot of beats thing for enjoyment. I did start re-reading because it goes deeper than that. We produced by J-Dilla. R&B wise?

I was in Barkada my that, I’ll enjoy anything I can either dance or nod my head to. What makes me laugh: Sarcasm. If it’s inap- freshman year, but I wasn’t active. Man, propriate yet still funny, I laugh. Oh, and that was a mistake since that year was Favorite Movies: 500 Days of Summer, memes - gotta laugh at memes. so dead.

Major: Apparel Merchandise Management On Barkada: Barkada has changed my life in every { aspect, especially when I came in as a freshman. Being on executive board this year gives me an opportunity to not only give back, but to inspire incoming students and hope that their experience in Barkada will be one of the greatest college years they have ever had. Musical taste: R&B, Hip Hop, and Acoustic Currently reading: Cat in the Hat Favorite Movies: a walk to remember, boyz in the hood, clueless TV: the vampire diaries, dexter What makes me laugh: the barkada voice Describe yourself in 3 words: goofy, classy, “best dressed” “If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.” Name: Emeline Allenegui Hope springs Year: 3rd “ Public Relations Rating: Time Lord eternal.” Me: I was sorted into Hufflepuff after believing I was in Ravenclaw for 10 years. I had a mild identity crisis but embraced it. Bryan and Jherray make fun of me now, but it’s okay! I’m still about 20 percent cooler than them. I’m snobby about film/TV, books, music, basketball. Actually, I have an opinion on everything but I tend to stay quiet. You can find me in the API reading a book or pretending I know how to do someone’s homework. Randoms: I like big dogs, pancakes, berets, driving, the clicky sound old keyboards made, British things, and the oxford comma. If you have an accent, a raspy voice, or light eyes, I love you by default. I like singing and dancing. Ask me to perform if you ever need to laugh. I cry when I laugh. I think people are fascinating. I hate Comic Sans, and I generally dislike imperfection. Challenge: Go to the special collections room in the library on the 4th floor, and ask for the Barkada archives. [Look for my mom, Edna Nabong. If you ever meet her say, “Oh I heard about you!” That flatters her. Trust me, you want to be on her good side.] Read Barkada’s history. Borrow a book from the library and tell me about it. People call me a lot of things. Hipster. Slacker. Nerd. Dreamer. Lyndy. But don’t listen to them. They’re all fruitcakes!

  • Louis Johnson
    LOUIS JOHNSON Approfondimenti a cura di Riccardo Pantella LOUIS JOHNSON “ THUNDER-THUMBS “ Quando si parla della tecnica dello Slap spesso vengono in mente i soliti nomi di grandi musicisti, ad esempio Larry Graham che si sostiene ne sia l’inventore. Ma è impossibile parlare di questa tecnica e non citare Louis Johnson, che di certo è stato uno dei pionieri ed ha contribuito a svilupparne la tecnica. Per via del suo stile distintivo venne soprannominato Thunder-Thumbs. Da non sottovalutare le sue numerose collaborazioni come session man. Tra le più importanti potremmo citare l’album “Thriller” di Michael Jackson. Probabilmente ciò che ha dato un grande contributo alla sua carriera è stata la sua ampia musicalità e senso ritmico. BIOGRAFIA Nato a Los Angeles il 13 Aprile del 1955, Louis fin da subito mostrò un forte interesse per la musica. Suo padre regalò presto una chitarra a lui e a suo fratello George, che subito cominciarono a suonare a turno. Louis era attratto dalle note gravi e cominciò a suonare le linee di basso che ascoltava sui dischi di artisti come James Brown, The Temptations and The Supremes.. Fu così che suo padre decise di regalargli un basso, e passò poco tempo prima che Johnson cominciò a strappare e percuotere le corde per dare più groove a ciò che suonava. Tutto questo si è evoluto nella tecnica dello Slap, rendendolo un musicista di fama mondiale. Mentre era ancora a scuola a Los Angeles, insieme al fratello George e il cugino Alex Weir formarono i “Three Plus One”. Band che si è subito evoluta in un contesto professionale condividendo palchi con artisti come The Supremes e Bobby Womack.

The result is that there are many people to thank, both here and in the chapter notes at the end of the book. First, the person other than me who worked the hardest, my wife, Anne. No project like this could be done without a strong partner. Anne was all that and more. Her constant support and understanding made this possible, and the price was significant, from all the Sundays taking care of the kids while I worked at Starbucks to the lost evenings, absent vacations, nights out not taken, and other costs of an all-consuming project.
