After the fall

Looking ahead in City Politics

by Johnny Hildo Yeah, that sure was a good time, wasn’t it?

Deadlines being what they are, this was written before the election finale. Who won? Who lost? Are we now firing up a fattie with perfect legal cover, or still sneaking a spliff in a dark alley?

Dunno. But writing this humble space waste is all about vision. It’s high past time to look forward to what is to come. Here are next month’s headlines.

Carty has already worn out his welcome. Hopefully the electorate hasn’t booted the pooch and returned the old Finkenstein to his former watch. Whatever, it doesn’t change our position. If, gulp, the stink is headed back to budget busting on the 22nd Floor, the gild will be off the lily

by December. If not, he’ll still be making an annoying fool of hisself by injecting his inane ideas into the public discourse. And we’ll all be sick of him again.

Mike Bell declares his candidacy for County Commissioner. Again, this will happen whether or not he has already been elected Mayor. That’s not the prize in his eyes. He wants to move up, not back.

Being Mayor takes up too much shoul-

www.toledocitypaper.com

der-to-the-wheel time. Too many details to keep you bogged down. But Commissioner?

?

Face it, Bellbottoms wants to be a rock star. But he doesn’t play guitar. Next best thing is a county-wide office where he can rub elbows with the high born during the day and smack derrieres in the bars at night. His sights are set, will of the voters or no.

Sandy Drabik returns to well-deserved obscurity. This one is pretty easy.

No way the grieving widow fooled enough of the voters to get elected. We wouldn’t be surprised if she changed her name back, and dropped the lately-added “Collins.”

Whatever. She was a disaster as a candidate. She has no future in politics. She’s already moved back to Sylvania, most likely.

Never to be heard from again.

Sandy Spang still a non-factor on Toledo City Council. Spang spent much of her campaign disparaging her Council colleagues for not being worldly enough, wise enough, or properly respectful of her outsized capabilities. Wethinks they won’t forget easily. She thinks she’s too big for Council. Yet she’s still there. Any bets what

her influence among those she called pinheads might be?

Democrats renew stranglehold on Toledo politics. The Dems have swept the Council races. Whether or not Paula Hicks Hudson is still Mayor, the Dems now have an unassailable majority on Council.

If she is Mayor, the power is now complete. If not, the power struggle is on. If it’s Carty, hooboy it’ll be a rough two years. If Bell, the budget battle will be one not to be missed. Ouch!

November 4 • November 17

God’s wrath on hold. Opal didn’t win.

No rolley coaster on the river, no dinosaur park at Southwyck. No more national headlines or viral videos where she speaks in tongues. The cinematic finale has yet to come, though. She has sworn God’s eternal wrath on the misguided voters of Toledo. Fire! Brimstone! Frogs falling from the heavens!

Yeah, right. Ding dong, the prophetess doth prophesize too much.

On to the next!

Steve Hanson and Jenny Samson Jacob were hands-on during every step of the production.

The PROPHET From Toledo to Tinseltown

Hanson Inc. brings Kahil Gibran’s The Prophet to the big screen

by Jeff McGinnis

The words of Gibran are intuitive even today— over ninety years after they were written.

K

ahlil Gibran, a LebaneseAmerican author who passed away in 1931, remains one of the most popular figures of 20th century literature. For many, his 1923 book The Prophet, a collection of poems on a variety of subjects, holds as much fascination today as it did when it was first published. A magical and mystical meditation on love, the poetry, with illustrious metaphors, has been adapted into animation, giving a new generation access to Gibran’s words.

Like the book, the trailer for the highly anticipated film (also called “The Prophet”) is unspeakably beautiful. Lavish in color and imagery, the artistry and passion is evident throughout its running time, stirring the soul, accompanied by arresting visuals and an impressive array of A-list Hollywood talent. (Salma Hayek, Liam Neeson, Quvenzhane Walli and director Roger Allers, co-creator of The Lion King).

Further down the credits list, two names appear for the first time ever in a Hollywood film— those of Toledo residents Steve Hanson, Executive Producer, and Jenny Samson Jacob, Co-Executive Producer. If it wasn't for those two, this spellbinding film wouldn’t exist.

On self-knowledge

“Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and nights, But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.”

It was over 40 years ago when The Prophet first entered Steve Hanson's life. The sixties were over, but the spirits of rebellion and self-discovery were still alive, crystallized for many in the words of Kahlil Gibran. The most popular of his works, The Prophet, found a new audience during the counter-culture boom of the 60s.

"The early 70s, were a bit of a tumultuous time," Hanson said. "There was a lot of unrest, a lot of civil disobedience going on at colleges, a lot of change. And I think The Prophet provided a bit of that backbone fiber. Because I can remember going to parties [where] people would read chapters. And we would all sit around [remarking], 'Wow, that's really incredible.' The book had a profound effect on me at a very early age."

The power of Gibran's words would stay with Hanson throughout his adult life— growing up, raising his own family, becoming President and CEO of his own company, Hanson, Inc., a Maumee-based digital marketing firm. Despite everything, though, Hanson would never have guessed what a major role Gibran was yet to play in his life— and how Hanson would help to lead a whole new generation to Gibran's words.

On friendship

“Your friend is your needs answered.”

About a year and a half after Hanson, Inc. was founded, Jenny Jacob joined the company, and has been Hanson's right hand ever since, with Jacob working as Chief Operating Officer. In addition, Jacob shared Hanson's passion for The Prophet, a book she first stumbled across while in high school.

"There's something in it for everybody -- the chapters speak to individual subjects," Jacob said. "Some [of these subjects] touch people more than others, but the language itself— it's beautifully written, it's esoteric, so I think different people can read into it what they want to, based on what they feel at different times in their life."

It was about a decade ago when Hanson and Jacob began to toy with the idea of expanding into entertainment, with an emphasis on the then-brand new medium of high definition production. One day, during a meeting discussing a variety of potential projects, they checked and learned that no one had ever acquired the film rights to The Prophet.

“We were like, 'Are you kidding me?'

That's crazy!" Jacob said.

"I remember, just after the meeting, she and I saying, 'I can't believe nobody's ever done this— and why haven't they done it?'" Hanson added.

The two would soon find out.

November 4 • November 17

On buying and selling

“It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied.”

Determined to acquire the film rights to The Prophet for their production company, Hanson and Jacob began contacting attorneys representing the Gibran National Committee, a group located in the author’s hometown of Bsharri, Lebanon. After passing away in 1931, Gibran willed the rights to his work to his hometown, which led a group of Bsharri townspeople to oversee all dealings related to his canon. It's a responsibility they take very seriously.

"The challenge we had is that a portion of the committee changes every couple of years," Hanson said. The group was made up of ordinary residents of the town -- butchers, farmers, homemakers -- who would cycle off and on the committee, like a the members of a city council.

Since a unanimous committee vote was needed to allow Hanson and Jacob to secure the film rights to The Prophet, the duo began to feel like they were Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. They'd work to make a deal, think they'd made progress, seem to be on the verge… and the next thing they knew, old members would retire from the committee and new ones would come in, forcing the process to start all over again. Hanson estimated that the securing the deal for the rights took no less than five years.

On reason and passion

York beginning on August 7 of this year.

For Hanson and Jacob, the most exciting premiere is yet to come: The movie will debut in Toledo with a week-long run at the Maumee Indoor Theatre beginning on November 27.

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.”

Armed with "conditional approval," Hanson and Jacob began shopping the project around to potential Hollywood partners, without a solid concept for the movie version of The Prophet.

"It's been a tremendous personal accomplishment, [to] start out with an idea that this could be something and to take the journey," Hanson said. "The journey has been extraordinarily significant. I have been lucky to meet so many people in the process, and to learn so much about how an industry like [moviemaking] works."

Hanson took their project to a "pitch fest” in California, an event where producers sell their wares to studios and production companies. Most people showed up with a script, costumes— the works. Hanson basically just had an idea, but one that he wasn’t going to trust to just anybody.

Though the pair has no plans for any further entertainment projects, they both clearly share pride and passion in what they have created, and for what this process has brought them. It took a decade to see The Prophet evolve from a dream to reality.

"We would sit down with somebody who said, 'Well, I've never heard of the book...'" Hanson said. "I would literally go, 'Next!' And they were like, 'No, no, no, that's what we say." And I said, 'No, I'm sorry, [but] if you haven't heard of the book, the idea that we have isn't going to resonate."

The pitch fest yielded some encouragement, but no solid business partnerships. Emboldened, Hanson and Jacob sent their associate, Ron Senkowski (Vice President of Entertainment and Brands for Hanson Inc) to California in an effort to get the project moving.

"Ron had made a couple of very small independent films, so he knew the process," Hanson said. "So we moved him to L.A. to really help push this through. He called up a producer he had worked with before, Clark Peterson, [who] had actually received an Academy Award before."

It was one night over dinner where Peterson sold Hanson on the idea of The Prophet coming to life as an animated film. "Ron [said], 'Clark has a really interesting idea,'" Hanson said. "He laid it out— and right then and there, I [thought it was] the solution. I called [Jenny] and I said, 'I think this is going to be amazing.'

She said, 'That's it.'"

"It was a fantastic experience," Jacob said. "It was so fun and interesting and challenging, the people that we met along the way, all the producers, the talent, the attorneys, everybody— that was the best part of it, all the connections that we made, and the people that joined, and the things we got to do. This was a oncein-a-lifetime thing.

"Once she was involved, the project took on the life that it became. It was important to her that [The Prophet] would reach children,” Jacob said.

After it was officially announced in 2011 that Hayek would join the project— as both performer and producer— more pieces began to fall into place. Senkowski connected with famed animation director Roger Alles, co-creator of Disney classic “The Lion King.” "[Alles] was really touched by the book, too— probably when he was in college," Jacob said. "So, he was passionate about this. To him, this was a passion play."

On tiMe

Working with Peterson gave Hanson and Jacob another connection that would prove invaluable to The Prophet becoming a reality: He knew Salma Hayek.

“...let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.”

On giving

A clear concept for the film soon took shape: Instead of having just one director overseeing the entire movie, a group of eight filmmakers would each take responsibility for one poem from the book, supervised by Alles (who would also direct the framing story which gives the film structure). Not only would this help keep the budget down, but the fact that nine different micro-productions were going on at once meant that production was finished in a mere 18 months -- a stunningly short time for feature-length animation.

“It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”

Oscar-nominated for her work in "Frida," Hayek has been a star of the big screen for over two decades. She is also a passionate lover of Gibran's work.

Once Peterson talked to Hayek about the efforts to bring The Prophet to life, she immediately wanted to be a part of it.

www.toledocitypaper.com

"Every single artist took this on as a tribute to this book," Hanson said. "and for a very reasonable budget. We couldn't afford to go to a single director and say, 'do the whole thing,' because the budget would have been much greater. So they all did [a small part] and everyone who worked on this film did it with a great deal of passion. The money that was raised was literally all put onto the screen, with only a small amount paid to staff.

For more information on the film, visit gibransprophetmovie.com. For info on screenings, which beginning November 27, call the Maumee Indoor Theatre at 419-897-8901.

"And as the budget increased from time to time, there would be options for the producers to make more [money], but everybody inside decided to do it for the lowest amount so that we could do the most amount with the people, the voices, the music."

On Love

“Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.”

The finished product— officially entitled "Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet"— debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, 2014.

The movie saw limited release in Los Angeles and New

Complete sun protection is achieved by the use of sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, wearing a hat and seeking the shade. For advice on a proper skin care routine see a licensed aesthetician or a dermatologist.

Stay calm with monthly maintenance massage Instead of waiting until there is an issue, keep your body performing top notch by enjoying monthly massage treatments. Live life fully by enjoying monthly personal time, and occasionally adding a corrective exercise specialist to take it to the next level

Start with baby steps You can’t completely change your lifestyle in one giant step, it is about making small strides and changes on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Make the best, healthiest choices you can each day and, before you know it, things will change. Same goes for yoga— you aren’t going to be a yoga champion the first time you step on a yoga mat.

Engage in mindfulness As the saying goes, “everything in moderation”— and this is especially true for food. Don’t beat yourself up for having dessert every once in awhile, but do be aware of what you are eating. The more aware you are, the more your body will tell you what it needs.

Home cooking, Far East style

Lee’s Oriental Market offers Korean homestyle cooking

by Athena Cocoves In a country where most people grow up on homestyle cooking like mac n’ cheese (oh, mac n’ cheese), burgers or foods covered in gravy, it’s hard to remember that “homestyle” doesn’t describe a type of food, but rather an experience.

Homestyle doesn’t evoke a specific flavor palate, but more so a comforting, oh-sonourishing dish. To prep for the harsh realities of winter we took a moment to enjoy foods from Toledo’s “homes”, where the idea of homestyle comes from Lee’s Oriental Market, Toledo’s oldest Korean restaurant.

Everything under one roof

Walking into Lee’s, an unassuming grocery and restaurant on Laskey Road, a long line of patrons trailed out of the tiny dining area. A friendly face greeted us and politely explained a table would be ready soon. The short wait gave us time to explore the fully stocked market, where my eyes rolled over in joy as I scanned the selection of Korean candy, inexpensive face masks, bulk ingredients, and plenty of interesting food choices to experiment with.

As I surveyed the cooler, stocked with seafoods, meats, and Korean labeled packages, a man emerged from the kitchen, grabbing a bag of noodles from the cooler. Minutes later, hot noodles were served to a hungry family, explaining where the restaurant’s ingredients come from.

“The market opened 25 years ago, but 15 years ago we opened the restaurant,” said David Lee, manager and son of the owners, Jesse and Jae Lee, who prepare the meals. “There weren't many places serving Korean food in town, and my parents decided it was a good idea.”

Consistency is key

Changing the name of the operation from “Kim’s Oriental Market” 12 years ago, the popular recipes honor a homestyle tradition through consistent quality and ingredients. The family-owned

November 4 • November 17

and operated business services Toledo’s Korean community. David estimates that 80% of the customer-base is Korean.

“The food has always been the same,” David added. “We make homestyle cooking, instead of restaurant prepared.

If you order a meal it takes 15-20 minutes because every dish is made to order. We don’t prepare anything in bulk— the food here is as traditional as it gets.”

Noshing like a pro

Lee’s offers ban-chan, traditional Korean side dishes — tiny plates filled with pickled treats, kimchi, seaweed salads, mung beans and more. These varied, refillable treasures are essential parts of Korean cuisine.

For our meal, we chose to dine on Dwenjang Jigae, a delicious bean curd soup served with vegetables and clams.

The Jigae, served in a hot stone bowl, had an appetizing delight of subtle fish flavors.

The dish was neutral enough for me to experiment with the ban-chan, following the direction of the table of Korean grandmothers next to us, who smiled and quietly giggled with me over my struggle to use metal chopsticks.

David told us that the hot soups are a favorite among Koreans, but noted that Americans tend towards the barbecues.

Heeding his advice, we ordered Beef Bulgogi, thinly sliced beef tenderloin, coated in a mildly sweet sauce and served on a piping hot platter.

After an unpretentious experience, we left Lee’s with bellies full of interesting Korean food— ready to take on the day and wishing we had leftovers.

Market & restaurant open: 11:30-7pm, MondaySaturday. Market open, restaurant closed: 12:30-7pm, Sunday.

“The Birds� opens at Village Players

by Emily Remaklus Although Halloween may end on the 31st that doesn’t mean the thrills need to stop.

The Village Players upcoming production of “The Birds� is sure to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

Not Really Birds of a Feather So, you’ve seen Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds� already? Well that’s not a problem because you’re in for a very new show. Although Hitchcock’s movie is also loosely based on the same short story by Daphne du Maurier, there are some major differences between the stage performance and the film. Aside from new characters, Hitchcock’s film also focuses much more on the horror aspect; eyeless corpses, gasoline explosions, and visuals of the birds trying to attack townspeople.

The stage production can be described more as a psychological thriller. Rather than graphic images, the thrill comes from the mental game that the birds play on the characters. The birds are always present, but remain outside, as a constant threat, unseen by the audience.

The real horror in this production comes from inside the house with the mounting tension between two strangers trapped in a home together.

The dark story begins after masses of birds begin attacking a typically quiet English town. Two strangers (played by John Duvall and Jennifer Nagy-Lake) take refuge from the birds in an abandoned home with no electricity and limited food. Tensions are high and the surprising appearances of a strange woman and farmer (Marissa Rex and John Klenk) add a threatening tone to the supposedly safe haven.

November 4 • November 17

A Little Bird Told Me‌ Jeffrey Albright, director of “The Birds,â€? stated that making the birds real to the audience is the greatest challenge in this production. “Obviously we will not have actual birds flying around the theatre; their presence is created by sound. The audience should feel that the birds are always present, even in the scenes that are between the waves of bird attacks, their presence drives the characters.â€?

Although the birds are not seen by the audience, they are the reason these characters are forced together and ultimately the cause of the stress and anxiety this thriller evokes.

The excellence of the cast, director, and crew will make this production successful in creating the thrill for the audience.

According to Albright, the opportunity to work with this group of people on a play written by Conor McPherson, “one of my personal favorite playwrights,� is a most rewarding experience.

Due to strong language the show is recommended for mature audiences. Fridays & Saturdays, November 6-21. 8pm/Friday & Saturday, 2pm/ Sunday. $18. Performances held at The Toledo Village Players, 2740 Upton Ave. 419-472-6817. thevillageplayers.org/tickets

Two-man town

THE ORIGINAL

Preparation for The Valentine Theatre Studio A’s upcoming production of the comedy Greater Tuna began over a year ago.

Originally planned for last fall, the two-man play was postponed when one of the actors, Paul Causman, literally broke his leg. Healed and ready to tell jokes, Causman will join Ryan Zarecki in depicting over 20 residents of Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas.

Satirically conservative, bizarre, and filled with jokes that range from witty to slapstick, this is a take on rural American life that you won’t want to miss. November 6-15. 8pm Friday and Saturday, 2pm Sundays. $20. The Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-ARTS. valentinethreatre.com

Flappers and mobsters wanted Most people don’t want to admit it, but a party is a lot more fun when there is a bit of exclusivity. Enter: the Toledo Opera Guild’s Sapphire Speakeasy. This Prohibition-style party will offer hot times, cool jazz, and the kind of secretive atmosphere that will keep you on edge. Celebrate the roaring 20s with roaring laughter, friends, and a live auction. Considering the theme of illegality, bringing bail money may be recommended.

When their wickedly poortaste musical becomes a smash hit, the duo’s plan to con their backers out of millions is compromised. 7:30pm Thursday, November 12. $48-$78.

Lecture & Film Screening: Isamu Noguchi’s Designs for Dance with the film “Appalachian Spring - From 1932 until his

death in 1988, American artist Isamu Noguchi collaborated with some of the 20th century’s greatest choreographers and composers. His set design for Martha Graham’s Appalachian Spring (1944), with music by Aaron Copland, was particularly noteworthy for its spare evocation of buildings and furniture.

Noguchi’s first dance collaboration was inspired by a work in the Toledo Museum of Art collection, Miss Expanding Universe (1932), the form of which led to Noguchi’s design for the costume worn by choreographer/dancer Ruth Page in her 1932 production of the same name. Associate Curator of Contemporary Art Halona Norton-Westbrook discusses Noguchi’s sculpture and traces his impact on 50 years of American dance. Following the lecture, the 1958 filmed performance of Martha Graham’s Appalachian Spring (32 minutes) will be shown. 2pm.

Birds Flock to Ohio Theatre Nationally-known and local groups at Toledo Folk Festival

by Jeff McGinnis

Classic, feel-good style folk music infused with a modern kick will soon hit the stage during the Ohio Theatre’s upcoming Folk Festival, scheduled for Saturday, November 14.

as a Chicagoan, because I've lived there for 20 years, and my extended family is there‌ Toledo is a part of my heart, and a big part of my history,� Nero added,.

Headlined by national touring act Birds of Chicago, the festival will also feature performances by Ypsilanti-natives the Ragbirds and Toledo-based musicians, The Antivillains and Jeff Stewart.

Sharing hope

Coming home

Erin Zindle — lead singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of Ypsi songsters the Ragbirds — is also looking forward to taking the Ohio Theatre’s stage to share her group’s eclectic variety of folk.

"I feel like, at its core, Toledo has a really, really strong roots music connection,� said JT Nero, who along with his wife, Allison Russell, comprise the core of the Birds of Chicago, the group which formed in 2012. “Old blues, jazz— it's really rooted in Toledo. And even though the scene kind of ebbs-and-flows, Toledo at its core is very musical— there's an incredible tradition in the area."

"Our music is really high-energy folk rock, and it has a lot of world music influence," Zindle said. "I just am inspired by many of the sounds that I've heard from other cultures and kind of incorporated those into my songwriting. At the heart of it, I'm a folk songwriter. I love sharing music that makes people dance, and connects with people on an emotional level, as well."

The Folk Festival will also function as a homecoming for Nero. "Both my parents taught at the University of Toledo for 30 years," Nero said. "They retired in 2010 and 2011. I grew up going to Old Orchard Elementary, Deveaux Junior High and then St. Francis. That's where I got my musical start, and my start in general.�

For Zindle, who started the Ragbirds with her husband Randall Moore in 2005, part of the emotional connection is sharing a message of hope with her audience.

8PM - 10PM

"I've been through alot, and I've dealt with a lot of things. I think that the hopeful message that I come around to is sort of a hard-earned hope, that I feel compelled to share,� Zindle said. “And I also feel compelled to keep repeating it, over and over again, for my own sake, and my own health and happiness."

As part of the Museum’s free classical music series, pianist Lisa Moore will perform tracks from her latest album during Mad Rush: Piano Music of Philip Glass. Moore will transport fans of classical harmonics to a new altitude, reviving the critically-acclaimed contemporary pieces. Originally composed and performed by American composer Philip Glass, one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, noted for his work in film beginning with the cult film, Koyaanisqatsi (1982), followed by more than 100 other film scores including The Illusionist, Fantastic Four and The Hours.

“Metamorphosis,” the title of five of the seven tracks on Glass’ solo piano, refers to Franz Kafka’s 1915 short story, The Metamorphosis, a 20th century seminal work of fiction. Moore incorporates her sharp piano technique and bodily expression into a recital not to be missed. 3pm Sunday, November 8.

AIA-Toledo Society Lecture: The Expressive Culture of Early Humans: Music, Ornaments and Images - Around 40,000 years ago, an extraordinary record for symbolic expression emerged in Western Eurasia associated with the Aurignacian culture, includeding instrumental music, graphic imagery in the form of paintings and engravings, sculptural representations in the round and in bas-relief, and a rich assemblage of personal ornaments made of lustrous and tactilely interesting materials such as ivory, amber and soapstone. Randall White, a professor of anthropology at New York University, links these different modes of expression and discusses why they flourished in that particular place and time in human evolution. 7pm.

PLAY BOOK Frankie’s Inner-City 70 years of live music

by Dorian Slaybod

On a Friday night, brothers Steve and Jeremy Lublin walked onto the stage at Frankie’s Inner-City, in East Toledo— the same stage where Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer each played years before. The Lublin brothers were back in their home town, visiting from New York City, along with the other members of their band, Jeremy and the Harlequins.

They are one of countless bands who have played at Frankie’s since it opened in 1945, and continue to play there as the venue begins its 8th decade.

Virginia to Nirvana

In 1945, Frank and Virginia Andriacco moved their Italian restaurant from UpTown’s Adams Street to the East Side’s Main Street. There, Frank served spaghetti and pork chops while Virginia played music. Her eight-piece band, Virginia Wixey and The Gentlemen of Swing, played a series of swing songs and standards. The Andriaccos began inviting other bands to play, too. “[Frankie’s] has always been about keeping the music scene alive in Toledo,� said the Andriaccos’ grandson, Rob Croak.

Photo Credit Dennis Sawan

Jeremy and the Harlequins return home to perform at Frankie’s, Croak took over Frankie’s in the 1980s and converted it to a full-time music club.

The club’s far wall is filled with framed posters from the heyday of alternative rock and grunge. Nostalgia radiates throughout the building’s interior. A Flock of Seagulls, Goo Goo Dolls and Limp Bizkit all performed at Frankie’s— stars of past eras that came to play in Toledo at Frankie’s invitation.

Keeping it alive with Innovation

Innovation Concerts, a company started four years ago by its President, Broc Curry, books the majority of shows at Frankie’s. Curry first started booking for Rob Croak in 1995. Frankie’s hosted the Black Keys and the White Stripes in the late 90s, before their steady drums and electric guitars went platinum and then became background music in movies and car commercials. “Frankie’s is keeping the history of live music going,� said Curry.

Frankie’s hosts music of all genres, with both bands and patrons frequently

travelling from out of town. I recently saw Cursive, from Omaha, Nebraska, there. In the audience, I stood next to a woman who drove to Toledo from Cleveland, and a man who drove down from Detroit. Despite being a regional destination, Frankie’s also proudly, and continually, showcases bands from Toledo.

At the Cursive show, Innovation booked two local bands to open for them, a skuzzy power-rock band called Awesome Job, and a quirky art-rock group called Good Personalities. Innovation tries to expose local bands to music fans from outside Toledo. “It’s important for us to be here for that local community,� said Cody Sizemore, who books bands with Curry. “There’s a lot of really good talent in Toledo,� she added.

A night at Frankie’s

During the Lublin brother’s show, the room was hot and full— Frankie’s can only hold 300 people. The stage was lit by four round spotlights, and a neon red “Frankie’s� sign that hangs over the bar.

People in the audience held their hands stretched around oversized with 32-ounce cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon. The crowd pushed to the stage, within arm’s reach of the band. Jeremy and the Harlequins performed cleanly— like professionals.

Their songs had a rockabilly flare, with 4-part harmonies and choreographed shoulder sways. Then, after midnight, the crowd began to chant “Tonight-We-Party� while sirens blared as the headliner, legendary party-rocker, NYC’s Andrew W.K., came out dressed in all white.

The crowd became a giant mosh pit as people shoved back and forth. Beer and sweat rained from indeterminate directions. I picked up a shirt from the floor, thinking it was one of the handful of new t-shirts that W.K. had thrown from the stage. It wasn't. Someone in the pit was shirtless, lost in the music and the people who came to hear it.

Frankie’s Inner City, 308 Main St. 419-691-7464. innovationconcerts.com

Author’s Note:

After I wrote this article, I learned that Innovation Concerts plans to take a break from booking shows at Frankie’s after November, 2015. I wish both Innovation and Frankie’s a busy future after this break, as they are vital Toledo’s live music scene.

Nothing to wine about

photos by Christine Senack

Chef Moussa Salloukh celebrated the love of wine during an Italian Wine Dinner at LaScola on Wednesday, October 14. Six wines were paired with a four course meal.

120 years of glamor The Valentine Theatre erupted in glitter, gold and plenty of sizzle during their 17th annual fundraiser— Burlesque to Broadway, on Saturday, October 24. Guests honored 120 years of the cultural gem with dancing, drinks, desserts, and a concert featuring spicy divas and a big band.

Claudio Salvador, Moussa Salloukh, Enzo Agresta and Gus Nicolaidis toast to shared stories and wine.

Katie Meyer, Vicky Gongwer and Barb Jackson let feathers fly over wine and cocktails.

Girls Night Out! Ladies enjoyed a touching and hilarious performance of Girls Night: The Musical, during the “tell-it-like-it-is” musical comedy on Friday, October 9.

Allison Krzyminski, Melissa Noe Freeman, Sarah Snell, Margaret Wozniak and Julie Paulenich dazzle and wow with luxe dresses and gorgeous smiles.

STYLE SENSE

Keytana Wilson, Dorothy Tyler, Dominique Eatmon, Afsanah Cunningham and Toiann Tyler sang along during the show.

Style Sense: Rhonda Uribe-Lands

by Angela Conley

Rhonda Uribe-Lands Age: 38 Occupation: hairstylist/colorist/make-up artist at Willow Creek Salon

Kristie Lindau, Angela Ford and Laura Heyman don feather boas and sassy attitudes during the fun-filled night.

As a hairstylist and make-up artist, Rhonda Uribe-Lands has an innate sense of what’s

flattering for her clients. Her expertise is also evident in her personal style— a confident mix of femininity with a touch of modern sass. By combining this with impeccable tresses and make-up that highlights her beauty, Rhonda’s style is always on point.

What is your foundation for great style?

To make sure your clothes fit your body type.

If not, [your style] will look undone and you won't feel comfortable, which will show in how you carry yourself.

What are your three style musthaves?

A form-fitting leather jacket, a great pair of skinny jeans, and nude [color] heels. Can I say a fourth one? I’ve got to have black mascara.

What do you feel best in?

A fit and flare dress with a cute pair of wedges.

Which celebrities or icons influence your style?

That would definitely be J-Lo [Jennifer Lopez]. She always looks put-together, whether she is dressed to the nines or casual. I love her versatility in her clothes.

If you could have one style superpower, what would it be?

To have instant access to unlimited wardrobe changes in the blink of an eye.

What tips do you have for shopping?

Buy items out of season so you don't pay full price. Spend good money on one quality item that won't go out of style. Spend money on good shoes.

What stores do you like shopping at?

I usually shop at Windsor, The Limited, Dillard's, American Eagle and Express. I also like to shop at TJ Maxx and Target.
