After Hours at The Noyes The folks at the noyes Museum in Galloway Township know that trips to museums don’t always fit into most people’s busy schedules. But, with a little planning and carefully setting some night hours, that could change. And it has since the museum started its Art at night program on Thursdays from 5 to 8pm. The museum mixes the extended hour with events such as a noyes Coffee House, films and guided tours of the museum. “We wanted to find a way to give people who have never been here a chance to come out,� says the museum’s Leah Morgan. “And we wanted to have some events that would appeal to people. So far we’ve been off to a steady start, and it’s building momentum.� The planned events include a film showing of Exit Through the Gift Shop, starring Banksy, on june 30 and an open mike night july 7. The noyes, by the way, is famous for its acoustics. Regular admission prices apply ($5, $4 seniors and students). Go to noyesmuseum.org for a full schedule. — Mike Pritchard

What a timely title, eh? If you are familiar with the work of veteran indie artist Bill Callahan, you probably laughed when you saw the title, knowing about his sly wit and his aptness for duality in his extraordinary songwriting. After recording under the moniker Smog for about two decades, the 45-year-old Maryland native has been releasing albums under his own name since 2005. And even though there were some solid, amazing and edgy Smog titles, and even cooler albums in recent years, this new one, released in April, takes you on a journey like no other album by Callahan ever has. There is country, women, hope, demise, beauty, comedy and extreme imagination at play in the album’s seven songs. Probably one of his best. — Jeff Schwachter

Partying with Perez
In keeping with its GLBT marketing strategy, and the mega success of its new all-male drag show, Resorts is hosting a Pride Party with Perez Hilton on Monday night. By Ray Schweibert
W
hy AtlAntic city’s courtship with the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender (GlBt) community seems to ebb and flow like the tides around Absecon island seems a mystery. not long ago A.c. was, apparently, a hub of activity for the GlBt community, but when many of the private nightclubs found it too tough to compete with those inside the casinos, they, along with much of the gay nightlife they fostered, went into “ebb” mode. now, due in large measure to the establishment of the Greater Atlantic city GlBt Alliance in 2009, and the foresight and ambitious marketing strategies of resorts ceo Perez Hilton Dennis Gomes (who recently created the first in-casino gay nightclub, prohibition) and others, the GlBt community is officially back in “flow” mode. evidence of this is sprouting up all around southern new Jersey, but nowhere will it be more evident than on Monday, June 27, when the quirky yet hyper-observant celebrity blogger perez hilton visits Atlantic city for the third time since last summer. hilton will co-host with the cast of Believe-Divas in a Man’s World the “pride party with perez” at resorts casinohotel starting 8pm Monday. tickets are $50 and can be upgraded to Vip status for an additional $25, giving attendees access to an after-party at prohibition, a one-hour meetand-greet with hilton, a oneyear membership to the GlBt, drink specials, hors d’oeuvres and more. All proceeds from the upgrade will benefit the Atlantic city GlBt. “A couple of network Media Group [the event producer] partners approached me about doing the party — kind of like a pride celebration here in Atlantic city — and i thought it was a wonderful idea because we don’t really have any type of a pride celebration here,” says Joel Ballesteros, director of GlBt marketing for resorts, and vice president of the Greater Atlantic city GlBt Alliance. “And while this is not a pride celebration in the typical sense, i thought this would be a great place to start.” Ballesteros was active in bringing back the Miss’d America pageant to A.c. through his association with the Greater Atlantic city GlBt Alliance, and helped create the “out at the inn” night for the GlBt community when he was employed by the rams head inn in
Galloway township. he was also highly instrumental in the opening of prohibition at resorts in May. “one of the things i really love about [prohibition] is that, although it’s billed as a GlBt venue, it’s accepting of everyone and everyone who comes there has such a wonderful time,” says Ballesteros. “As president of the Greater Atlantic city GlBt Alliance, the recent addition of events and venue geared toward the GlBt community has proven that Atlantic city is back on the radar screen for gay and lesbian travelers,” says larry sieg, president of the Greater Atlantic city GlBt Alliance. “once a gay Mecca for the northern new Jersey, philadelphia and new york crowd, Atlantic city will once again establish itself as the place to be and be seen. “we have seen over the past year and a half, local members of GlBt community as well as the main stream community come out to support these initiatives and foresee even more being offered in the future,” he adds. “having events that are geared toward a gay and lesbian audience has also united the gay community again that had been very disconnected over many years. there is now not only a social forum, but educational opportunities that inform our community of local, state and federal issues facing us as citizens of equality.” the cast of resorts’ highly successful production show Divas will join hilton as cohosts Monday. the show features several exceptional female impersonators taking on the roles of entertainment icons cher, liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, lady Gaga, patti laBelle and Joan rivers. it runs thursday through sunday at resorts (see divasinamansworld.com), including two shows on Friday and saturday nights. providing the music will be DJ lo, the official DJ of los Angeles’ Gay pride parade, and tJ the DJ, formerly the house DJ of the popular nightclub studio 6 in Atlantic city, which was part of the club tru complex (now the Diving horse cabaret). “i always have a fabulous time in Atlantic city,” says hilton in a release, “and this time will be extra fab. i can’t wait.” tickets to the pride party with perez can be purchased in advance from the resorts box office at 800-736-1420 or by going to ticketmaster.com n

News on tournaments and other action in area casino poker rooms by Mike Pritchard
T
hanks to a strong turnout on Monday, the second “Day 1” of the Borgata summer open’s championship, the event has drawn a healthy field of 323 players (counting re-buys) and will offer a $211,484 top prize. We know there are rebuys in there because actor James Woods, who is seen quite often inside the Borgata poker room, actually had the distinction of busting out both sunday and Monday. so did a few others, we’re sure, but this was James Woods! the Borgata took a little risk by upping the buy-in for the championship event by $500 this year to $2,500 + $200. Last year’s championship was set at $2,000 + $200 and drew 321 players. that generated a top prize of about $180k, so it’s a nice little $30k kick for the summer open champion in 2011. the summer open isn’t the Borgata’s signature event, but overall the casino has to be pretty excited with the open turnouts. sure, some events had low turnouts, but overall the fields were respectable. For example, the open’s event 7, a $350 + $50 Deepstack tournament (the Borgata always does well with its Deepstacks) drew a nice 510 players. that put a healthy $43,112 into the pocket of winner Jared solomon of Brigantine. By the way, don’t confuse local player solomon with Jarred solomon of south africa who has about $650k in tournament winnings. still, Jared, is on his way. another event, no. 11, a $200 + $30 Big stack (same as a Deepstack), drew more than 800 players. It’s pretty clear that Deepstack events bring out the Borgata’s loyalists. anyway, this one paid Peter Moffatt of Philadelphia $38,374. he should not be confused with Peter Moffatt, a British tV director known for his work on Dr. Who. that Moffatt died in 2007. By the same token, the open did have a few skimpy tournaments. two $1,000 + $90 tournaments, a $10k super satellite (nine players won $10k) and a six-max no-limit drew only about 100 players. so there was a little feast or famine going on, but with the WsoP underway in Vegas, it still brought some excitement to the city. By the way, by the time this goes to print there should be a championship winner. Meanwhile, the Borgata continues to offer cash games and had another bad-beat winner recently. this time it was on their Like us:

small bad beat, which hit for $47,767. the most refreshing thing about it was that there was an official announcement, as most of the city’s casinos seem uninterested in publicizing their jackpots hits. here’s the rundown from the casino: thomas Davenport (south amboy, n.J.) was holding pocket 4’s, while kenneth Weliczka (gansevoort, n.Y.) held pocket 6’s. two 6’s on the board allowed kenneth to win the pot. however, thomas’ quad 4’s were good enough to win $19,108 of the Bad-Beat Jackpot. kenneth picked up an additional $9,553. the remaining five players at the table each took home $3,821. the Borgata has now seen more than $10 million in bad-beat jackpot hits and either their big or small jackpot hits an average of every 11 days. and finally, we have some more info on high roller Don Johnson (who shouldn’t be confused with the Miami Vice star), and his amazing $15 million run at three a.C. casinos. though he’s not a poker player, it’s wild that a high roller is so willing to talk about his strategy. this time he gave an online interview, saying that he’s going public because when he first started making the papers, and was still anonymous, some gambling gurus raised suspicions that he was cheating or card counting (card counting is legal by the way). Instead, Johnson says he was just using basic strategy, but benefited greatly from the deal he worked out with the tropicana, where he won $5.8 million. the casino gave him 20 percent off his losses. “You’d never lose the million,” he said. “If you got to minus-five hands [an overall loss of $500,000] ... you would stop and take your 20 percent discount. You’d only owe them $400,000. “It’s like going to the horse races and betting an even-money shot and only having to spend 80 cents on the dollar to get that shot,” said Johnson, chief executive officer of heritage Development LLC, a company that offers computer-assisted wagering in horse-racing. “It’s a huge edge. I just think somebody [at the casinos] missed the math when they did the numbers on it.” Johnson said the discount was such an edge, he didn’t even need to count cards. “the discount gives you a bigger edge,” he said. “Why waste your time counting?” To keep up to date on local poker news visit “The Real Deal” at acweekly.com/poker. n

then I saw a car that was completely wrapped in an advertisement, and the guy driving had his window down with his arm out the window. he seemed really content — almost oblivious to the fact that the whole car stuck out like a sore thumb. It randomly made me think about how we tend to judge people based on what we see on the outside, when we should look at who is on the inside. and it also made me wonder if people view themselves the way others view them. when I was in college my car was a 1985 chevy celebrity station wagon with rust in the roof above the driver’s side. the windows on the right side didn’t work and if the air conditioner and the radio were on at the same time, the car would stall. It was a real junker but it got me from point a to point B and only cost me $300. But the point is that I felt inferior because I didn’t have money, and I thought people would judge me for the car I drove. But time after time I noticed that it really didn’t matter and it was all in my head. On that same thought, removing the car from the equation, the outside of a person can come in all different shapes, sizes and colors, but unfortunately our first impression will hinder us from getting to know who they are on the inside. when I posed this theory on Facebook, the outpour of responses was amazing. Adrienne Richardson agrees with me, saying that before you get to know someone all you know is what that person looks like, but we shouldn’t make judgements before we get to know them better. I agree, but often it’s easier said than done. Our intentions are good but we fall back into our ways. Samantha Schiumo believes that too. she thinks we judge due to severe jealousy that we deny, but it’s a flaw we learn to change through life’s lessons. James Keefer put it in context when he said that society let’s us know what’s attractive and what’s not. we have become a self absorbed, selfish, judgmental society and we need to change. Jon Leibowitz added that we are trained and conditioned from an early age of what beauty really is. Most people polled felt that if you are attractive then you are worth talking to, but if you Like us:

are ugly it’s not worth the time. that is so sad to me. a good friend of mine stated that you see the outside of a person immediately, but to see the inside takes time and not everyone wants to invest in that. how sad is it that as a society the newest, coolest technologies and television shows are the same things that are working against us in some ways. But it’s unfair to blame everything on the media. Our thought processes are a mix of our genes and our environment. Natalie Kraft agrees too and said that much of our judgment is pure “human nature.” she delved into the psychological, and said that it’s a way of identifying “our own tribe members” and being able to recognize “potential danger” in a quick and simple way. But unfortunately we tend to make many incorrect assumptions just to cover up our own insecurities and vulnerabilities. when you think about it, it’s true. Vonnie Clark thinks we are all guilty at one time or another, but at the same time we should be wise enough now to realize all of the great people we missed out on. remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. take time to recognize true beauty and get to know someone. Don’t let their appearance or, even worse, their clothing and accessories deter you from talking to them. remember this quote by Ernst Haas — “a picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?” *** On tuesday, June 28, at 5:30pm, the e-women network summer solstice health & Business expo will take place at the atlantic city country club in northfield. admission is free, and table rentals are $65 for members and $95 non-members. there are 30 booths available on a first-come, first-serve basis. see ewomennetwork.com/ chapter/snj for more details. n

Resorts is the perfect location to install the club because the property’s main building was constructed nearly 90 years ago during the Art deco period. the casino is embracing a retro 1920s theme under its ownership. “i guess i have to ask myself what was i thinking, because i’m going to be working harder than i ever worked banging out four shows a week,” Piscopo, who turned 60 last week, says with a laugh. the club, which will seat about 200 people, but can accommodate up to 300, will be open thursdays through sundays and, except for a couple of weekends, Piscopo will be performing each night the club is open. the room has a main stage and a smaller secondary stage at the opposite end, which could occasionally be pressed into service for performers but will most likely be used for ViP bottle service, a popular feature used to attract free-spending guests in many A.c. nightclubs today. however, gomes has suggested Piscopo explore the possibility of occasionally using the smaller stage to present a “dueling comics” format, with comedians at opposite ends of the room exchanging punchlines with the audience sandwiched between them. Piscopo is also toying with the idea of presenting an Atlantic City Idol competition each week, with a winner being chosen on Labor day weekend. “there’s so much undiscovered talent out there than it could be huge,” he says. Although SNL typecast Piscopo as a comedy performer, he’s actually a more wellrounded entertainer who sings and plays a variety of musical instruments, and he’ll be displaying his multiple talents when he performs in his club. his performances invariably include a musical tribute to his idol, Frank Sinatra, and Piscopo was surprised and excited to learn that the starlight Room at Resorts has a link to ol’ Blue eyes. it was in that room in 1979 that Resorts’ original management held a press conference to announce it had signed sinatra to his first Atlantic city casino showroom contract. n

no one knows that better that entertainer Joe Piscopo, whose 25-year dream of having his own Atlantic city nightclub is finally coming true. the home-grown Jersey boy (“Which exit?”), who made a name for himself on Saturday Night Live 30 years ago, will preside over the June 30 opening of club Piscopo, a retro hangout nightclub at Resorts casino hotel that will offer a mélange of music and comedy four nights a week this summer, and possibly beyond. “You’ve gotta be in the right place at the right time and wait for the right opportunity with the right people,” Piscopo says during a recent phone call. in his case, all those ingredients converged when casino turn-around artist Dennis Gomes became the ceo and coowner of Resorts, which was Atlantic city’s first legal casino when it opened 33 years ago last month. Piscopo had worked for gomes when the latter headed up properties like trump taj mahal and the tropicana, and the two became friendly. After gomes took over Resorts in december, he began talking to Piscopo about the performer establishing a regular presence at the property. Piscopo mentioned his idea about the nightclub, and gomes told the entertainer he had a similar vision for a room where people could hang out, have a drink and be entertained by artists ranging from jazz singers and instrumentalists to comedians and even specialty acts. club Piscopo will occupy the starlight Room one floor above the casino’s dining and showroom level. “this is going to be a ‘hang’ place, where people can come and see an eclectic mix of entertainment,” Piscopo says, calling the room a “summer sit-down” experience and experiment. “We’ll try it through Labor day and then evaluate it and see what happens from there,” he adds. Piscopo first began thinking about doing something like this not long after he began working Atlantic city in the early 1980s when he was still a cast regular on nBc’s Saturday Night Live. he pitched the concept to several properties over the years, and while he came close to closing a deal several times, the club never materialized. “i wanted to do something that would keep me close to home, close to my kids, keep it in my backyard,” said Piscopo, who

Great Vibrations By Jerry Blavat
O
nce again, greetings and salutations, and another stellar weekend with sun and fun at the Jersey shore. it began Friday night on KOOL 98.3 from chickie’s and Pete’s in egg Harbor township, and then dancing under the stars for the month of June at the Pool Bar at caesars. Of course, saturday night, nothing but stars at Memories in Margate. the evening started out with the arrival of Kate and sam sidewater — Kate a double for Veronica Lake and sam a double for Franchot tone. and who followed them? My old pal Jeff Orleans, with one of my favorite actresses and people, Kim Delaney. Yes, she’s as pretty in person as she is on the screen. and lo and behold, the shabels, Fred and irene, along with pharmacist Mary Parenti, husband rich, and Jennie & Bill Whitmore, ceO of one the biggest security companies in the U.s., all danced the night away. then my buddy Lou galdo from south Philly and his lovely wife were entertained by the three amigos, or should i say two? it was just Justin and anthony who partied with mom and dad celebrating Father’s Day. Frank Kerbeck also partied the night away with a whole bunch of beauties. and my old friend Paul “skinny” D’amato and his brother Willie were there in spirit when Willie’s daughter Lisa and her hubby celebrated their first meeting years ago at Memories. Lisa’s brother Paul, named after their uncle, is
one of the top-ranked attorneys in atlantic county. and on it went till 4 in the morning. With July approaching fast, we’ll do our annual birthday bash, and look for the geator caravan to move to a new location on Friday nights, which we’ll announce shortly. now to your questions. Whatever happened to the Vibrations? This group never gets any respect. — Michael McGhee, via e-mail
the Vibrations were a great West coast r&B group who were pushed by their label into recording dance songs. they had several hits — as the Jayhawks with “stranded in the Jungle” (i played the version by the cadets last saturday on WXPn), as the Marathons with “Peanut Butter,” and as the Vibrations with “Watusi,” using the same melody as Hank Ballard’s “Let’s go, Let’s go, Let’s go.” they had another hit in 1964 with “My girl sloopy,” which became “Hang On sloopy” when the Mccoys covered it in 1965. they worked in Philly with gamble and Huff for a while, but eventually disbanded. Only two members are still alive, one of whom, carl Fischer, fronts a new Vibrations group. I listened to your show today, great music and energy! You played “I Just Want to Make Love to You” — who did that version? Also when are you
Like us:
at Memories, and what about your birthday bash? — Ralph Warzy Sr., via e-mail
You’re talking about a song originally written and recorded by Jimmy reed. this is the great blues version etta James did live in san Francisco. as far as Memories, i’m there every saturday night, with DJs Joey Merini spinning Friday nights and Perry angelozzi thursday and sunday nights. and as you know, the geator and Uncle sam celebrate our birthdays a day apart. the Fourth this year is on a Monday, so we’re going to do a double bubble on my real birthday, sunday, July 3. We’ll begin with our afternoon jam session at La costa in sea isle, and then the big party sunday night at Memories with food from tony Luke’s, geno’s, Modo Mio, the aramingo, chickie’s and Pete’s, Barrels, and much more. Hope to see you there. n

Atlantic City Expressway Turns 47 By Tom Wilk
Omero C. Catan waited patiently as the clock neared 11am in the Turnersville section of Washington Township, N.J. The Teaneck resident was poised to make history as the first motorist to travel on the Atlantic City Expressway, officially opening the road on July 31, 1964. For Catan, the experience was nothing new as he had been the first driver to pay a toll on hundreds of highways, tunnels and bridges over the past quarter of a century. At the appointed hour, he drove his car through a ceremonial ribbon and later paid the first toll at Egg Harbor. Travel to Atlantic City and other Shore points would never be the same and the South Jersey landscape would be forever altered. The road to the expressway was not without roadblocks. With increased congestion on the Black and White Horse pikes, a faster route from Philadelphia to the Jersey shore was proposed to ease congestion. Discussions in the 1950s had bogged down over the length, location and cost of such a project. State Sen. Frank S. “Hap” Farley was an early advocate of the expressway when a bill authorizing the project passed both houses of the Legislature in 1961. However, N.J. Gov. Robert Meyner vetoed the legislation over a disagreement on the membership of the five-member expressway authority. When Gov. Richard Hughes took office in January 1962, the expressway was a top item on the new Legislature’s agenda. Both the Assembly and Senate approved the bill by month’s end and Hughes signed the measure allocating $39 million for a high-speed toll road on Feb. 20.

Construction of the road, which would run through eight municipalities in Gloucester, Camden and Atlantic counties, would not begin until 1963 after the expressway authority authorized land purchases and finalized plans for the project. By the end of 1962, the anticipated cost of the 44-mile expressway had risen to $46.8 million and the authority voted to finance a bond issue for that amount. With the preliminary work completed, construction went smoothly on the segment of the expressway between Turnersville and the Garden State Parkway in Pleasantville, opening a year ahead of schedule in the summer of 1964. With Sen. Farley paying the first 15-cent toll, the final 6.2 miles of the expressway between Pleasantville and Atlantic City
opened on July 30, 1965. “It is now possible to travel from downtown Atlantic City to the Chicago loop without hitting a traffic light,” Gov. Hughes said in hailing the completion of the highway. The expressway quickly became a favorite of motorists, attracting about 500,000 vehicles in its first month of operation in 1964. To offset the cost of tolls, the speed limit on the expressway was set at 70 mph, the highest of any road in South Jersey. The speed limit would be adjusted downward in the 1970s as a means of conserving gasoline. The heavily traveled road also had its share of accidents; 11 were reported in the first four weeks. Five accidents involved deer, which once freely roamed the unpaved land before the expressway
was built. Accidents would be a fact of life on the expressway with its volume of traffic and fast speeds. It was not until 1995 that the expressway went an entire year without a traffic fatality. Since its opening, the expressway has proven to be a work in progress. A cafeteria-style restaurant, the Holiday House at Elwood, opened in October 1965. To enhance safety, the authority installed call boxes for motorists in need of assistance along the length of the highway in 1967. Ground was broken for a Cross Keys interchange in 1999 and a 2.3 mileconnector between Atlantic City and Brigantine opened in July 2001. Along with increased traffic, the expressway brought development to the towns near the interchanges. South Jersey Gas constructed its corporate headquarters in Folsom. McGregorWerner Graphics opened a plant in Woodbine. The expressway also played a part in the rise of residential construction in Washington, Monroe and Winslow townships. The advent of legalized gambling in Atlantic City in May 1978 served as a catalyst for increased traffic and development along the expressway, a pattern that continues to this day. In 2006, 66,820,291 vehicles traveled the expressway, an average of more than 5.5 million a month. Toll revenues in 2006 amounted to $59,351,789 or $11 million more than the $48,273,990 the authority determined it cost to construct the highway. Despite some initial skepticism, the expressway has proven to be a gamble that paid off. n

Seaview’s Friday Night Buffet
Friday Night Bites
Where: 401 South New York Ave., Galloway Township On the Web: dolce-seaview-hotel.com Phone: 800-205-6518 Details: Friday seafood buffet, 6-10pm. Adults $65, children under 12, $29.95.
Seaview Dolce Resort’s Friday night seafood buffet has been a crowd pleaser for many years. By Frank Gabriel
T
hroughout the last several decades, Friday night’s seafood buffet at galloway township’s Dolce (formerly Marriott) seaview resort has been one of the region’s true dining destinations. along with an obvious cornucopia of culinary delights, the golf and conference center’s setting and ambiance combine to create an absolutely peerless experience. We visited recently and were immediately reminded just how precious seaview’s real estate remains. traversing the immaculate property near sundown, its eastern horizon was a spectacular vista. remember the old streisand comedy On a Clear Day You Can See Forever? here, it’s more like on a clear evening you can see Brigantine, hovering in the distance many miles away. after a brief jaunt over a series of gently rolling hills, one arrives at the main entrance to the facility. a sense of timelessness and history prevails, which only makes sense considering the property’s nearly 100-year legacy. seaview was founded in 1914 by Clarence h. geist a Philadelphia businessman and avid golfer who reportedly spent $1.5 million dollars to create his exclusive dream club at the shore. Ponder that one for awhile — $1.5 million in pre-World War I currency. gulp. In the decades following, luminaries as diverse as President Warren g. harding, entertainer Bing Crosby and golf greats gene sarazen, Ben hogan and sam snead all graced the resort. Within the main dining space, just to the entrance’s left side, tantalizing aromas of raw seafood instantly entice. Presented in large, ice-filled metal buckets, are oysters and clams on the half shell, steamed shrimp and on this night, stone crab claws. that Floridian favorite was a real surprise treat, and also reminds us that executive chef sean Kinoshita’s most

Keep in mind that there’s also a complete raw salad bar, featuring baby spinach, lettuces, hearts of romaine, cherry tomatoes, onions, bacon and bleu cheese. Plus a hot station carving up massive slices of prime rib — sadly, we didn’t get there this time — alongside seared scallops with a fire-roasted pepper and Boursin cheese fondue. In case you didn’t get the not-so-subliminal message, come here hungry, leave here happy. Prominently positioned near the entrance, opposite the raw bar, is a glamorous dessert assortment. We love this sort of sweet presentation, small portions of multiple items rather than one large option. From a list far too long to detail, we sampled an individual cone of classic creme brulee, chocolate-espresso torte and encased in a serving cube, a really cool has to be prepared as close to service as pos- chocolate mousse trilogy. sible.

sincere objective is to obtain and utilize the freshest, in-season items, like those oysters and clams, both wild-harvested from waters just offshore. also included at this initial station was a caviar and sushi display, the latter filled by a colorful variety of rolls, sashimi and accoutrements. Five composed salads — Cajun crawfish, citrus poached rock shrimp, tomato/onion/cucumber, german potato with Berkshire bacon, and whole-wheat pasta with roasted chicken — rounded out the l-shaped service platform. Kinoshita also mentions that the buffet, a herculean undertaking, requires the work of seven staff members working since noon on Friday. this is an element that separates Dolce’s offerings from those at most other buffets. Because they are dealing largely with delicate seafood, virtually everything you will see

ack in 1969, a decade after the launch of the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island (and nearly 15 years after the Newport Jazz Festival was established in 1964) and just a couple weeks before Woodstock took place in upstate New York (Aug. 15-18), Atlantic City had its own big rock and pop festival. Held Aug. 1-3, 1969, at the Atlantic City Race Course, the Atlantic City Pop Festival featured several of the top-name rock and folk-rock acts of the day, many of which would also play Woodstock. More than 100,000 people came from all over the country to see dozens of artists, including the Byrds; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Chicago, Joe Cocker; Dr. John; Jefferson Airplane; Creedence Clearwater Revival; Captain Beefheart; Janis Joplin; Joni Mitchell; Hugh Masekela; B.B. King; Little Richard; Frank Zappa; Santana; the Sir Douglas Quintet — and the list goes on and on. The extraordinary line-up that it featured aside, the Atlantic City festival has been nearly erased by history, overshadowed by the cultural mile marker that Woodstock would become. (Another interesting similarlity between the two August 1969 festivals: neither took place in the festival’s namesake town. Woodstock was moved from that New York town to Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in Bethel, N.Y., and the A.C. Pop Festival was

held in Mays Landing, where the A.C. Race Course still stands. Fast forward to 2011 and Atlantic City is about to take back some of the thunder stolen away by that little festival in Bethel, N.Y. With many state and city officials seeking to enhance the entertainment offerings in Atlantic City, as gaming competition in nearby states has eaten away at the resort’s casino revenues in recent years, and reclaim Atlantic City as the World’s Playground that is was for about a century, up until decline set in during the late 1960s and 1970s, this weekend’s three-day Dave Matthews Band Caravan festival (DMBC) is a welcome breath of fresh air. For area restaurants, hotels and other lodging facilities, shops, campgrounds, and, of course, the casinos (which came to town in 1978 to help save the city from its then state of decline), the DMBC could be a much-needed shot in the arm for the local economy as a whole. It will also surely serve as a cultural boost to the city, one in which there is current plans for an arts district (see p. 56) and a state-operated tourism zone. When the festival was officially announced in February, organziers and city officials predicted that about 70,000 people would attend each day of the three-day event, which is being held at Atlantic City’s old airfield Bader Field, the
nation’s first “airport.” The hope was that a combined 210,000 visitors in town (less than half of what the annual Atlantic City Air Show draws each August) would bring in an estimated $70 million in revenue. That was a little optimistic as time would tell, but the ambitious festival (one of four the Dave Matthews Band is holding this year in the U.S.) is something that needed to happen. Ken MacDonald, director of venue management for the festival’s promoter Red Light Management, told a reporter earlier this week that he expects “the actual daily attendance to be between 25,000 and 30,000 people.” That’s still roughly 75,000 more people in Atlantic City and its environs this early summer weekend. Jason Weinstock, of Red Light Management, tells AC Weekly that the city “has done a great job preparing the site for our team. We are looking forward to seeing the fans this weekend. Our team has been on site for the last three weeks getting things ready.” Along with the Bader Field site being under construction for weeks — even as of Wednesday — the entire area has been in preperation for the festival and all of the people, traffic and credit cards that will be
in the area. Because camping is not permitted at the festival site, area hotels and campgrounds should see a big boost this weekend. Back in February, it was announced that the Atlantic City casinos had blocked off a large amount of rooms for festival goers this weekend. The casinos are also getting in on the action, hosting Dave Matthews Band cover bands (such as Big-Eyed Fish at the Borgata’s Gypsy Bar Sat. & Sun. 3-7pm; Ants Marching at the House of Blues’ Back Stage venue Saturday from 10pm-2am; and a DMBC kick-off party at the Trump Plaza Beach Bar Thursday night at 8:30pm with The Grey Street Band. Also Thursday night, the Flaming Lips and Mariachi El Bronx will officially kick off the DMBC festivities with a concert at the House of the Blues at Showboat’s intimate Music Hall. Both bands play the DMBC on Friday. The House of Blues venue will also feature an after-show with O.A.R. on Friday night as well as another after-show with G. Love & Special Sauce on Saturday night. Doors open at 11pm for both shows. Weinstock estimates that the first-ever DMBC will bring in “between 30,000 and 35,000 a day.” He also says that tickets are still available ($85 for a single day; $195 for all three days) for the festival and that rooms are still available in town.

for a while and we’ve been like trying to find the right way to do something and we don’t expect that the Dave Mathews crowd should know all of our music. And yet, we want to play these things and I think little by little we were arriving at why don’t we do that? Because they will probably know some of our music, but they’ll probably know all of this Dark Side of the Moon [material] and it would just be another absurd show that we can do as opposed to trying to, I don’t know, there’s an element of playing Flaming Lips music to people that are already fans as opposed to people that may not really give a shit. I don’t mean that in a bad way. And that’s exactly why we want to do it, because it’s like we’re playing to new people.” (See interview with Coyne at acweekly.com) Rain or shine, the three-day festival will go on, say the orgainzers, and the area is prepared for the boost in traffic. “We have worked closely with the state police, local police departments, public safety and other agencies to plan for this weekend,” says Weinstock. “We have total confidence in the local and state agencies as well as our staff.” n

“We had over 7,000 rooms blocked specifically for DMBCARAVAN fans,” says Weinstock. “Many of the fans booked rooms directly with their favorite hotels and casinos. The ACCVA [Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authorty] has told us that rooms are still available for people making plans.” As for the festival itself, there will be a wealth of local and other vendors (see a list at acweekly.com) on site, in addition to a variety of acts performing on three stages, including Damian Marley, David Gray. Dr. Dog, Amos Lee, Ray LaMontagne, O.A.R, the Flaming Lips and a plethora of lesserknown acts with promising names such as the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Dawes, Lotus, Punch Brothers, the Budos Band and the Tangiers Blues Band. The Dave Matthews Band will close each night with a set on the “Boardwalk” stage. Wayne Coyne, frontman for the Flaming Lips, tells AC Weekly that his band is going to perform Pink Floyd’s classic-rock staple The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. “It should be pretty absurd,” says Coyne. “We’ve been sort of negotiating with the Dave Mathews Band people for a while. They’ve wanted us to do stuff with them

10 Ideas for Caravan Fans
Here are a few suggestions for places to visit and things to do before and after … or maybe even during the three days the Dave Matthews Band Caravan’s in town.
W
e understand that a threeday hullabaloo like the Dave Matthews Band Caravan may bring folks to town who have never been here before, and may not have a clue as to what to do before and after the bands perform — or perhaps may want to take a break from the Bader Field confines to see or do something else. Well, we’ve got you covered, and have compiled a list of 10 things you might want to check out while you’re in town. For even more options, go to acweekly.com and click “events.”
1. Classic Rock Art Show
Trump Plaza will again host the largest rock art exhibit on the planet Thursday through Sunday, June 23-26. The exhibit will be on the gaming level of the casino and is free and open to the public each day from 3pmmidnight Thurs.-Sat, and noon-6pm Sun. All works are available for purchase. It includes a rare collection of original art, lithographs, photographs, handwritten song lyrics, concert posters, gold records, album art, animation drawings and more from the greatest rock artists of all time. Famed rock photographer James Fortune will also be making an appearance at the exhibit. Additionally, the “Art of Rock” art show will be taking place on the concert grounds of Bader Field all three days of the DMB Caravan (June 24-26), featuring hand-signed lithographic prints by Jerry Garcia, and prints of artwork by John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Ron Wood and others.

4. Mardi Gras on the Boards
If you’re hanging around town for a while after the Caravan ends, and still haven’t had your fill of great jam-band-style music, the free “Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk” series begins Monday, June 27, with pioneering band leader Commander Cody kicking it off at Kennedy Plaza (on the A.C. Boardwalk at Mississippi Avenue). The first of 13 Tony Mart’s Presents events, the free shows go from 6:30-10pm Mondays throughout the summer. In the early 1970s, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen were one of the original American roots-music groups — fusing basic strains of rock, R&B, jazz, bop, swing and rockabilly. They are probably best remembered for their biggest hit, “Hot Rod Lincoln,” in 1972. Opening the show will be the ’20sera string band The Jersey Rhythm Devils (with AC Weekly’s own Jeff Schwachter).
Ballroom. There will also be a Diva Bikini Contest in the Ballroom at 7:15pm Sunday, June 26, with the winner being crowned Miss World Pong Tour and receiving a $1,000 cash prize. The WPT features four tournaments — the main event, the men’s singles, the women’s singles and the mixed doubles championship. All of the championships feature cash prizes The sport is played on a nine-foot table with 10 cups filled with water (not beer, this isn’t college) on each side. The $25,000 main event is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, June 27-28, and consists of two sessions of two-person teams, the first starting at noon and the second 5:30pm Monday. The championship is 10pm Tuesday in Resorts Ballroom. See worldpongtour.com.
6. Prohibition Era Trolley Tour
If you’re in town a little early (or are staying a while) and want to know a little more about what life was like back in the Boardwalk Empire days of Prohibition, take a Roaring ’20s Trolley Tour and relive the golden era of speakeasies, flappers, grand hotels and a free-wheelin’ lifestyle. The fully narrated tour is about four hours, including lunch at the historic Irish Pub in Atlantic City. It departs from Gardner’s Basin at approximately 10:15am and 2:30pm every Thursday. Call 800-487-6559 to reserve a spot. The cost is $25 for adults and $20 for children ages 5-10 years.
8. Stay at a Campground
Jam-band fans tend to prefer the peace and serenity of the outdoors, and although camping is not permitted at Bader Field, there are several campgrounds and RV sites located within a short drive of Atlantic City and Bader Field. Check out: lodging.uptake.com/ camping/new_jersey/atlantic_city for a few options.
9. Take in Some of the Sights
Historic Gardner’s Basin, accessed by traveling as far north as you can on Atlantic or Pacific avenues, turning left at New Hampshire Avenue and driving all the way back to the basin entrance, is a fun visit. It includes the Atlantic City Aquarium, several small craft shops and vendors, some excellent dining spots like the Back Bay Ale House, Scales restaurant and the newly reopened local fave Gilchrist’s Diner, plus a lot of little nooks and crannies that make for a nice walk by the water. If you visit the Boardwalk, be sure to check out the Atlantic City Historical Museum at the Garden Pier (off New Jersey Avenue), which is free and open daily 10am4pm; the multitude of interesting stores (and a sensational “Water Show” every hour) at The Pier Shops at Caesars, or old-world-Havana themed The Quarter at Tropicana.

Asking the Artists
A CRDA feasibility study to bring an arts district to Atlantic City is now turning to artists themselves to weigh in. By Michael Pritchard
j u n e 2 3 , 2 0 1 1 • A T L A N T I C C I T Y W EE K L Y
P
lans for an Atlantic City Arts District have been quietly moving along with a feasibility study entering a new phase. And Tuesday, June 28, perhaps the most important and critical element of the plan starts to be brought into the picture — artists. After all, an arts district isn’t much without actual artists. Tuesday, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) begins a process of finding out what artists think of the district and what they’d like to see included in plans through an official survey the state funding authority hopes will reach 3,000 area and regional artists. “It’s really the next step in the process of gathering data,” says Jordon Cox, project development officer for the CRDA, “It’s designed to reach out to artists and build some excitement for the district. We’re looking to attract everyone from poets and writers to sculptors to dancers. Anyone with an interest in the idea.” The survey focuses on what types of facilities artists would need in the district, including studio space, performance space, exhibition space and, most importantly, housing. The CRDA study area runs from Florida to South Carolina avenues, from the Boardwalk to Baltic Avenue. But its center would be Mississippi Avenue, anchored by two major performance venues, Dante Hall and Boardwalk Hall. The CRDA allocated $70,000 for an initial study of the area and this week allocated another $81,000. The survey focuses on housing and facilities. “We see the district as a combination of both housing and exhibition space, not one or the other,” Cox tells Atlantic City Weekly. “We expect to build a housing project, but then we hope the rest of the housing will fill in organically. But we do see it as an opportunity being able to bring in some unique and fun design. Seeing what the artists need; if we should build some studio space and display place.” So far, area artists continue to be intrigued by the concept. “I think right now, it’s cautious optimism,” says Bill Horin, creative director for ArtC, an advocacy and promotional group dedicated to gaining more expo-

sure for area artists and their works. “Everybody is rooting for it to work and there is a lot of optimism. But there’s are also a lot of questions to be answered and I think everyone is taking a wait-and-see attitude. “So far we’ve gotten limited information, but those bits and pieces have sounded encouraging and the community is being very supportive. And many of us will be there Tuesday hoping for more information.”
CRDA officials say they can focus on both. But for the district to really become an arts mecca, it will have to attract all types of artists. “I think it’s a good start in our area, but I also think they are going to have to reach out of our area and think regionally,” says Horin. “I’m not sure we have enough artists in this area to support this. You’re going to have to bring in new people. A rendering of the planned Arts District in A.C.
Though plans for the district are many faceted and gibe with other elements of the CRDA’s plans for the overall city Tourism District — for example, the CRDA allocated $275,000 this past Tuesday for an arts program focusing on public arts throughout the city — housing remains the central issue. Mayor Lorenzo Langford, for example, raised concerns this week that the district needs to do more than just look to relocate artists from outside the city and focus on helping young Atlantic City residents launch a career in the arts.
“And one of our members I think made a very good point at one of the meetings with CRDA,” says Horin. “Most young artists starting out don’t make a living initially off their work. So you have to think in terms of jobs and employment. It’s all very encouraging that we’ve made this start, but it’s something that is going to take a long time to see completed.” Still, there are other aspects of the arts district, which could add to the overall vitality of the area. Such as if the district began to attract art galleries.
Mary S. Cantone, director of the William Ris Gallery in Stone Harbor, says she is very interested in opening a satellite gallery in the district and thinks other galleries could follow. “The plan can only enhance interest in the arts and support for artists,” she says. “And I think anyone in the arts community wants to see that and be a part of it. I think the whole idea for the district is very possible.” Along with studios, already established museums could also have a presence in the district. Cox says Wheaton Arts in Millville and The Noyes Museum of Art in Galloway have both expressed interest in running satellite locations in the district. And with The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey now formally in charge of Dante Hall — as well as The Noyes — performing arts will also be a major part of the district. “We also look at Boardwalk Hall as a major component,” says Cox. “That’s a very under-utilized space. Along with the main hall, there’s a 1,000-seat theater in there [the Adrian Phillips Ballroom]. And there’s a lot of classrooms and spaces which could be used as rehearsal space and so on.” Still, all the potential in the world means little if the artists don’t come. Tuesday’s meeting will be held at 6pm at Dante Hall, 10 N. Mississippi Ave., in Atlantic City. “We’re calling it a launch party for the survey,” says Cox. “We want to build some excitement for the district. And we’re trying to have some fun with it. We don’t want it to be just a stodgy old meeting. We’re trying to line up music and art displays. “We want anyone even remotely interested in being some part of the district to weigh in. If we only attract about 100 people to the survey, well that will be disappointing. But if we can get 1,000 people, 2,000 people — our goal is 3,000 people — then we’ll have some momentum.” The survey can also be taken online at ACartisthousing.com. n

It’s Not Easy Being Green Green Lantern’s might is crippled by lame dialogue By Lori Hoffman
S
uper 8 and X-Men: FirSt ClaSS were mildly disappointing movies, acceptable as summer popcorn entertainment but not as good as sci-fi fans hoped. However, if we are grading on a curve — and don’t we all tend to compare movies of the same genre? — Super 8 and X-Men are looking like cinematic giants compared to the bright green drivel that has been unleashed on movie screens with Green lantern. despite having an enjoyable, self-aware leading man, Ryan Reynolds, in the title role of test-pilot-turned-superhero Hal Jordan, Green lantern fails on almost all levels. The story seems determined to hit every cliché in the universe, the dialogue is consistently trite and therefore instantly forgettable, and every film reference (tons of Star Wars, the last Starfighter, Superman) only reinforces the realization that this movie can’t even gain any upgrade in class with its thievery of superior movies. Movies with dialogue this bad and evildoers this lacking in menace can sometimes Green Lantern H directed by Martin Campbell; rated PG-13

be redeemed as, “so bad it’s funny.” Green lantern can’t even get by with that because above all else, it is B-O-R-I-n-G. and it is not just that it is boring until the big-ticket action scenes, but even its otherworldly visions of planets far, far, away lack imagination. Here is the premise that is botched so completely. The Green Lantern Corps is an assembly of interplanetary cops that defend the universe with the motto: “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.” The Green Lanterns are currently in a battle to save the universe from an evil force, Parallax, who draws his power from the yucky yellow of fear; the Green Lanterns draw their power from the cooler green force of will. On Oa, the home planet of the Guardians (Yoda-like masters who sit on high with really long red robes and dispense bad advice), those Guardians aren’t feeling the love for the Lantern’s chances to defeat Parallax. This doesn’t sit well with Sinestro (Mark Strong) who has lost his best friend and master, abin Sur (Temeura Morrison). a dying abin Sur, fatally injured by Parallax, crash lands on earth and sends his Green

can’t seem to find the right tone for this movie, but I suspect that is because he is working with an atonal screenplay credited to Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg. Reynolds is the only one who can walk away from this disaster with his head high. There are only a few competent action hero moments in this movie and Reynolds is responsible for most of them. His likable character strikes just the right note of courage and determination to overcome his fear as he faces Parallax. Then he has to open his mouth and spout that awful, cornball dialogue. This tentpole film is probably too big to collapse right now — all the fans of the comic book will ignore reviews like this as they should — but let’s hope they give Reynolds a better story — hell, a better everything — the next time around. n

Lantern ring to seek a new warrior to take his place, which is when Hal Jordan’s earthly pursuits go intergalactic. Jordan, a cocky test pilot who hides his fear with a thin veneer of bravado, is soon planet hopping to Oa where a Lantern drill sergeant and Sinestro try to whip him into shape by teaching him how to use his powers, which are only limited by his imagination — whatever he thinks of appears instantly. Parallax has recruited a warrior of his own, a milquetoast professor, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). He picks up some Parallax DNA (let’s call it alien AIDS) when he is recruited to examine the body of Abin Sur. Hammond’s transformation into an evil henchman is perhaps the worst element of this dreary movie. Sarsgaard doesn’t fully embrace the wimp-gets-his-revenge factor that might have made him seem remotely dangerous, and on top of that he is supposed to be the son of Tim Robbins’ character, Senator Hammond — really? Was the casting director drunk the night the 40-year-old Sarsgaard was deemed the right choice to play the son of the 51-year old Robbins? Director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale)
