n Thursday evening, Aug. 15, the popular TV show Project Runway will be coming to the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing with the show’s first winner, Jay McCarroll, hosting a “Battle of the Runways.” The four-hour fashion event (5-9pm) is just the first one McCarroll will be hosting at the Atlantic City-area mall. The Philadelphia-based — and internationally heralded — designer has been working in tandem with the Hamilton Mall in its summer “Making Waves” promotion to call attention to the mall’s extensive redevelopment project currently underway at the mall. “I’ll be hosting ‘Battle of the Runways,’” McCarroll tells AC Weekly. “There will be three runways with 17 stores showing their ‘Back to School’ and ‘Fall Fashions.’ There will also be lots of entertainment and fun for the whole family.” Along with the fashion competition, there will be a DJ and other artists who will perform, including club sensation KT Borderline. Roping expert and New Jersey native Colby Clement, who will appear in October’s Third Annual Atlantic City Boardwalk Rodeo, will also be on hand along with other cowboys from the rodeo. “I love that Hamilton Mall has a very eclectic mix of shops,” says McCarroll, who also teaches at Philadelphia University (formerly Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science), his alma mater. “It offers an array of well-known, international chain stores sharing the same space with some really great independent specialty shops. This makes for a very unique shopping experience.” McCarroll is very excited about his new venture with Hamilton Mall, which will include other events and promotions down the road. He says he used to visit his family in Ocean City as a child and has “fond memories” of the Jersey shore. Asked what he has learned about the fashion industry since winning the first season of Project Runway, McCarroll says: “It is a very complicated industry that requires an extreme time commitment, resourcefulness, problem solving and perseverance.” Those who sign up for the mall’s new mobile message program, the “Red Carpet Club,” will get a VIP pass to meet McCarroll, a Swag Bag containing a Hamilton Mall T-shirt, and coupons and merchandise from various Hamilton Mall merchants.
Preston Shannon in Somers Point By Jeff Schwachter

nown as the modern “King of Beale Street,” Memphis bluesman Preston Shannon will make a rare trip to the Somers Point beach for a free show on Friday, Aug. 16, from 7-9pm. An outstanding guitar player with a voice that’s been compared to a mix between Otis Redding and Bobby Womack, Shannon has performed his urban blues on Bourbon Street, in Memphis-area casinos and on Beale Street, where his soulful playing and singing has made him an attraction when he’s not on the road. His four albums are a blend of southern soul and blues — with a little Prince in the mix. That’s right, he has recorded the Purple One’s “Purple Rain” — a cool version appears on his three-time Grammy nominated album All in Time.

lvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, Patti Smith and St. Vincent are among the talents who perform songs from the 1920s on the upcoming release: Boardwalk Empire Volume 2: Music From The HBO Original Series. The soundtrack, out on ABKCO records, comes out right before the fourth season of the multi-award winning Boardwalk Empire show on HBO begins (on Sunday, Sept. 8) and follows the release of the Grammy-winning first volume of the soundtrack. Grammy winner Vince Giordano and his band are on hand again for Volume 2, backing the singers and offering a couple of sweet instrumentals. The album also includes performances by cast members Stephen DeRosa (as Eddie Cantor) and Margot Bingham (as a new character to be introduced this fall) singing tracks that will be debuted throughout the new season. Along with Giordano and DeRosa, Loudon Wainwright III and Leon Redbone also return to the mix for the second volume. Some of the songs were favorites from the third season, including “Lovesick Blues” by Pokey LaFarge and “Strut Miss Lizzie” by David Johansen. (See a complete track listing at acweekly.com)
WMGM’s Rock Band Search @ the Taj By Ray Schweibert
O
ne of the recently named, top-70 most influential rock radio stations in America, Longport Media’s own WMGM 103.7 FM, recently launched Atlantic City’s biggest band search of the summer at Trump Taj Mahal. The four-week competition features up to five local rock bands each week at the Taj Mahal’s Ego Lounge (Tuesdays from 7-10pm), each of which will perform three-song sets. WMGM on-air personalities Mat Murray, Scott Reilly, Sean Patrick and April will each host one of the weekly events, and the winning band from that event will go on to represent their respective WMGM DJ in the finals. The four bands will then advance to the finals on Tuesday, Aug. 27, with the chance to win the ultimate prize — $1,000 in cash and a paid appearance at Ego Lounge. All guests who come out to support the competition will receive a special offer from the Hard Rock Café in Atlantic City. Every week throughout August, WMGM will also offer an “enter-to-win” contest for a pair of concert tickets to a headliner show in Philadelphia or Camden. “We’re excited to present Atlantic City with the biggest rock band search of the summer with our great friends and partners at Trump Taj Mahal,” says Paul Kelly, senior vice president of broadcast operations for Longport Media. “It’s always fun to showcase great up-and-coming talent from South Jersey, and with the overwhelming popularity of shows like The Voice, we are excited to bring WMGM’s rock version of a battleof-the-bands event to Atlantic City.”

Franco could nail a young Geator. Jeremy Renner is another one who could capture the Geator energy. There’s been a lot of talk since the book was first released, and now there’s a renewed interest in the possibility of either a movie or a TV series based on the book and the record industry, almost a cross between Mad Men and The Sopranos. We’ll keep you posted.

nce again, greetings and salutations, and I don’t have to tell you. If you were with us last weekend at Memories, you know it just gets better and better. It begins on Wednesday with our Happy hour and rolls right on through to Sunday with the incredible sounds of the Soul Cruisers, who will be performing at Memories every Sunday night for the rest of August. Every night it’s a different crowd, and every night it’s excitement, especially on the weekends. Friday nights are becoming the night to be there when we go live at Memories starting at 5pm and run straight through to the wee small hours of the morning. People from all over are experiencing the magic, and this weekend was no exception with folks from Las Vegas and New Orleans marveling over the now legendary Paesano sandwiches. Some of the stars who came by this weekend — Frank DiCicco, Buzzy and his lady Virginia Hill, Arlene and Joey Verne, the DeFelice guys, Fred and Adrian, plus my friend Luciano of Lamberti’s and his family, including Luciano Jr. Mark Juliano’s daughter Lauren is getting married, and all the family came by to celebrate. And then
came Joanie, MariaElena, Sandy and the gang from Philadelphia, the Longport crew, the kids from Patti’s dance classes at All That Jazz, the legendary “Heckle & Jeckle,” and the return of Memories alumni Nigel with his lady and Kathy Ciang with her Johnny. And yes, that was our man Butch Fortino dancing the night away. And finally, all of the Amigos are together again. Of course Justin is now married, Sean looks like he’s on the way, and Anthony’s on the hunt. We can’t forget Anthony’s dad Ray and John from Cannuli Sausages along with the lovely Lauren. The Admiral and Linda made a return visit, along with Butchie and Joanie Buchanico, plus my main man Donnie Demasi and my pal Nicky Blue, who is now an official member of the crew. You can hear it all weekend live on KOOL 98.3, and don’t forget Sinatra Sundays at Memories with “The Geator, Frank and Friends” on the air from noon to 2pm on WOND 1400. For a complete listing of all my radio shows and how you can listen wherever you are, go to Geator.net and click “Radio Schedule.” Now, let’s ask the Geator.
Best sandwiches in Philly . . . and Margate. Do you have a house special sandwich? “The Boss with Hot Sauce”? — Adam, Gladwyne
James Franco
All the Paesano sandwiches are amazing. My preference is plain roast pork with hot peppers, insides of bread scooped out. And you got the right name for it.
Jerry, now that your book is in paperback, are there any plans to make it into a movie or TV show? Also, if they did, who would you want to play you? — Starlight Stella, Philadelphia
Can you tell me the name of the song and the group who performed the closing song from your old WCAM show? It went, “So long, goodbye, time to leave you now.” — Francine, Cherry Hill
I think James Franco, Edward Norton, Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio all are great. At one time, they were talking about John Leguizamo because he’s short and wiry and he has the energy. But I think James
That was “Goodnight Baby” by the New York group the Imaginations, who had a great falsetto sound. Listen to my show on WTKU KOOL 98.3 on Thursdays when I do all doo wop, and you’ll hear more of the Imaginations. ■

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
eynote to the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel’s key to success of late has been giving locals plenty of bang for their buck (see this week’s cover story, p. 48), and at the forefront of that plan — since being created by two veteran music-industry professionals last summer — has been a jazz brunch series at Ono Chinese Bistro every Sunday and some of the best blues musicians in the business performing every Friday and Saturday night at BB’s Burger Bar. Brigantine resident and Grammy-winning record producer Joe Donofrio teamed with Jeff Morgan of Zippy Productions to establish the series, each of which has recently been extended through next month. There is never a cover charge to attend any of the performances. “The quality of the artists — these are honestly some of the most talented and some of the most award-winning artists working today in jazz and blues,” says Atlantic Club publicist Cathleen Kiernan. “A lot of them reside here on the East Coast in Philadelphia, New York, and are often in between world tours or playing in jazz festivals in different countries or around the nation. While they’re here they take these gigs, and it’s just a really great low-cost to no-cost opportunity to see some of the most talented artists working in jazz and blues. “If you look at their bios and see some of the other artists they’ve recorded with — Grammy award-winning singers, composers and musicians — it really is quite amazing. I think because jazz and blues tends to such a niche-type of musical genre, a lot of people who are enthusiasts just get it and are like ‘Wow, I can’t believe you have coming here.’” The weekend blues series takes place every Friday and Saturday from 9pm-1am, and overlaps a 10pm-midnight Happy hour (BB’s also offers a 5-7pm Happy hour with the same specials) with $5 martinis and wines by the glass, $3 imported beers, $2 domestic bottles, drafts and featured shooters. Performing this weekend (Aug. 17-18) is blues guitarist Robert Ross, a two-time New York Music Award winner for best blues artist. The following weekend (Aug. 23-24) it’s guitarist and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Michael Packer at BB’s, and rounding out the month are guitarist and Grammywinning recording engineer Kirk Yano with Cuban-born blues harpist Felix Cabrera on Aug. 30-31. Those four artists also return to BB’s in September. The Jazz Brunch series goes from 10am4pm every Sunday and includes such cuisine as fresh fruit, omelets, breakfast meats, pasta, carving stations, seafood, salads and desserts for a $35-per-person cost, which
Kirk Yano
“These are some of the most talented artists working today” also includes, of course, some of the best jazz artists in the country performing from 12:303:30pm. During the jazz performances, the bar-and-lounge at Ono will also be serving “jazz bites” including half-priced sushi rolls and appetizers, and $5 mimosas and Bloody Marys. Ono also boasts some of the most stunning views anywhere in Atlantic City.

The Partition and Recognition Controversies of 1947-1949. Some of the most controversial of George C. Marshall’s numerous acts as secretary of state from 1947-1949 concerned the 1947 partition of Palestine and the 1948 recognition of Israel. Making use of documents recently published in volume 6 of The Papers of George Catlett Marshall as well as other sources, Marshall Papers editor and History Professor Dr. Mark A. Stoler will in this lecture explain Marshall’s beliefs and behavior regarding Palestine and Israel as well as the context within which he operated.

FALL TEE TIME
Name: HAMILTON TRAILS C. C. (00HMLT); Width: 4.9375 in; Depth: 5.38 in; Color: Black plus three
AT HAMILTON TRAILS
In the mood for a great game of golf but time is short and 18 holes just doesn’t fit the schedule? As southern New Jersey’s only regulation-length, nine-hole public golf course, Hamilton Trails prides itself on its affordability and features a 20-station driving range, a large practice putting green and a newly renovated clubhouse. No tee times are required. The tree-lined course, established in 1984, is fairly flat and easy to walk. The course is comfortable for beginners, a confidence boost for high handicap players and challenging enough for top players to enjoy. Through Sept. 4, greens fees are $16 on weekdays and $18 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays (along with $8-to-walk and $10-to-ride replays). Riding carts are just $7 extra. Take advantage of the 18 hole everyday special for $29 which includes a cart. A no-restriction season pass is available and special package deals are offered most days of the week, among them a Monday night Scramble for $26 that includes golf, food and prizes. Lessons and clinics are also offered. “The course was in pretty bad shape when we first bought it, but we’ve invested a lot in it and word-of-mouth is that the course is in excellent condition now,” says owner Jack Bucceri. “In the ten years we’ve owned Hamilton Trails we’ve done a lot of drainage projects, so the course drains a lot better than it ever did, most important for year round play and weather variations.” The course superintendent is Andrew Bucceri, Jack’s son, who was a former assistant pro in Hilton Head, S.C. prior to earning a degree in Rutgers University’s reputed turf management program. The course has two par-three holes that require golfers to hit over ponds, two par-fives and five par-fours. Cheri Cottelli, an LPGA Class-A professional, is the teaching Pro at Hamilton Trails. Cheri offers private lessons and clinics. For more information on lessons with Cheri, visit our website www.hamiltontrails.com. Hamilton Trails Celebrated their 40th anniversary last year and is just minutes away in the heart of Atlantic County.

EVENT INFO
Still Got the Spark Classic counterculture comedy duo Cheech & Chong are back to light up Atlantic City By Ed Condran • feedback@acweekly.com
36
AUGUST 15 - 21, 2013 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY
U
nfinished business is the reason Cheech & Chong reunited five years ago after going their separate ways during the mid 1980s. “We still have something that only we can do,” Tommy Chong tells Atlantic City Weekly in a phone call from Boston. “If we don’t do it now, we’ll never do it.” The stoner comedy duo is getting up there. Chong is 75 and Richard “Cheech” Marin is 66. However, a certain spark still gets ignited when the tandem perform that isn’t there when working with other entertainers. “There’s no doubt about that,” Chong says. “I remember watching Cheech when he was doing the show with Don Johnson [the CBS drama Nash Bridges]. Johnson couldn’t get what I can get out of Cheech. We make our own kind of magic.” The act formed in 1971 and included a number of hit films like 1978’s Up in Smoke, and 1981’s Nice Dreams, and enjoyed cultlike status. However, Cheech & Chong splintered in 1986.
facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly
We’re having more fun now because we’re older and wiser. When you’re younger, your ego gets in the way of things. “It was just time to go and do other things,” Chong says. “We were never friends. We got along but we were never pals. We had a professional partnership that went really well and then we had to do other things. It was the wisest thing that we didn’t stay together like [other] comedy teams like Abbott and Costello, who ended up hating each other, or Martin and Lewis, who were jealous of each other. We went our separate ways but we always appreciated the films and albums we did.” Cheech & Chong, who appear Saturday at the Trump Taj Mahal’s Mark G. Etess Arena, are having a blast on the road. “We’re having more fun now because we’re older and wiser,” Chong says. “When
you’re younger, your ego gets in the way of things. I have a better perspective on things now. We’re so glad we’re back. This has worked out really well. We’re just so good together.” Cheech & Chong would have reunited earlier but, while planning a comeback, Chong was busted for selling bongs online. “I thought [former President George W.] Bush was so busy fighting [the Iraq War] that he wouldn’t notice a few bongs for sale, but how wrong we were. But what do you expect from right-wing fanatics? I’m much happier with this administration. [President] Barack Obama surrounds himself with smart people. Obama goes with a consensus. Bush wasn’t even thinking. But
he’s gone and we’re back doing what we love. I made the best of my time in jail.” Chong wrote while he was behind bars for nine months in 2003-’04. “I made the best of my time,” Chong says. “They could stop me from doing a lot of things but they couldn’t stop me from putting down my thoughts on paper. I survived that and lived to tell about it. Now I’m on to the next chapter of my life and I’m with Cheech. That’s a good thing.” Cheech & Chong have certainly had a big impact on pop culture. “There’s no doubt about that,” Chong says. “You go to the movies and joints are everywhere. The same for television. You have that Showtime show Weeds. But you don’t even have to have a joint in a film to call it a stoner flick. Look at Napoleon Dynamite. That’s an awesome stoner film. You can’t watch that and not think ‘stoner film.’ The world changed and I really think we’re a big part of that change when it comes to pop culture. Think about how taboo pot was back when we were doing our thing during the ’70s. It’s not where it could be. We’re certainly not Amsterdam but pot is more out there and I think that’s a good thing. Conservative is not a good thing. I’m left of center and always have been. I think differently when it comes to most things. That’s good because most people think the same. We’re in a culture of sheep.” That’s on the money. Who would have ever thought that Cheech & Chong would go out on a tour with (funk/R&B bands) Tower of Power and War, like they did back in the day. “That’s a good example of how we do things differently,” Chong says. “The guys in War wanted to do it. They had a soft spot for Cheech and Chong. Cool music and comedy are good together. We opened for Vanilla Fudge, Alice Cooper and the Allman Brothers. That was really cool. That was like chocolate and peanut butter. It’s just that some people in this country have to have things together that mirror each other. I’m for diversity and running with whatever is different and interesting.” Cheech & Chong might be labeled by some as fringe players, but their eight movies grossed over $100 million. “We struck a nerve,” Chong says. “People really enjoyed and still enjoy our movies. We’re not straight or predictable but we definitely have an appeal. That’s so even at this point in our career — people want to come out and laugh and that’s a great thing.” n see more online @

alk into the vestibule of Ocean City’s venerable Chatterbox Restaurant — open at its current location since moving from across 9th Street way back in 1942 — and look down. A foot or so above the floor, a thick black line is etched into the doorway wall, denoting the high-water mark of last autumn’s Superstorm Sandy. Assistant manager Paul Berkle points it out, allowing that they’ve been asked so many times how much damage the property sustained that this unique visual aid has been deployed. Front-of-the-house debris was deep enough to have “pretty much gutted” the signature pink corner construct’s interior, according to general manager Aimee Repici. In the kitchen three freezers, three ovens and a broiler were too badly damaged to be salvaged and needed replacement. So the Chatterbox remained dark through most of the fall and an entire winter and spring season — even missing high-traffic days like Easter, O.C.’s famed spring block party and Mother’s Day — while repairs continued. For a place whose slogan is “Where the town meets” this was a pretty big deal. For Repici and the rest of the extended family who own, work and depend on the Chatterbox, it provided an unexpected opportunity to at least partially reinvent an iconic Jersey shore institution. “We turned a bad thing into a good thing,” says Repici. The dining space got thoroughly remodeled and modernized from the ground up. A shaded, awning-covered external patio was added alongside Central Avenue whose new seating, cordoned off nicely with greenery from the bustling street, also lends itself to a dog-friendly eating environment.
“We turned a bad thing into a good thing.” Responsible for suggesting this latest design element is family matriarch Marie Repici, who originally purchased the restaurant in 1972, along with her late husband, Tom Sr. Closed until Memorial Day weekend, the Chatterbox reopened in somewhat of a mad scramble, Berkle noting that he was still hanging pictures while the first customers were being seated. That physical update, however, only represents part of the story. Now managing the kitchen is chef Carlo Lala, who became acquainted with the Repici family when their son Matthew interned with Lala’s prior employer. Their association began with Matthew asking

him, several years ago, “We really need a cook — can you come in and help us out a couple days a week?” Evidently, the place has grown on him since. So much so that Lala resigned from that former position, which included a desirable Monday to Friday schedule, virtually unheard of in the world of professional food. Offered an opportunity to come aboard for the big May reveal, he jumped at the chance. “I gave all that up because the Chatterbox is just that cool,” Lala says enthusiastically. Since arriving, Aimee Repici jokes that a top priority was “helping develop new items
[and] bringing the menu out of the ’70s.” All the while maintaining the restaurant’s traditions and keeping longtime, loyal customers happy. Lala, a graduate of Atlantic Cape Community College’s Academy of Culinary Arts, calls the Chatterbox’s multi-page bill of fare “a very vast menu,” adding that the establishment’s patrons “want home cooking, they want big portions, they want flavor.” What Lala’s introduces lately has been “more fish, sautés and fresh vegetables,” hinting that this fall Chatterbox regulars can expect to see some seasonal items like slow-cooked stews and braises and a wide repertoire of soups, one of which will always remain the house’s signature, its famed clam chowder. Pink in hue, which harmonizes nicely with the famous exterior décor, the clam chowder is actually a hybrid of New England and Manhattan styles, featuring both tomato and cream to arrive at a blush finished product. Another part of the Chatterbox’s charm is its breakfast, served until 5pm daily and perhaps the only place we know of in Ocean City that is so accommodating to late-risers. It’s also just about the definition of a family business. Of the late founder Tom Repici Sr., who passed away in February of 2009, Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian said: “He wasn’t just a businessman, [we lost] someone who really believed in Ocean City. He really was a nice guy.” So it seems only fitting that during renovation, found scrawled on a wall, beneath a layer of old paneling, was a message from the distant past: “TR 1984.” ■

A Chat With … Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie Stars of the Emmy nominated TV series ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway’ team up for two improvisational comedy shows at the Tropicana Aug. 16-17. By Ray Schweibert • feedback@acweekly.com
D
o anything for over a decade and it likely becomes second nature, but how improvisational comics Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood stay hilarious in each outrageous offthe-cuff sketch they’re thrust into without sometimes looking like deer caught in headlights is hard to fathom. With an amazing ability to work with anything audience members throw at them, Mochrie and Sherwood create funny and original scenes in ways similar to the show that made them famous, the Emmy nominated Whose Line Is It Anyway? Their live show is truly interactive, as audience members get called to the stage throughout the evening to participate in their antics. Among the high-jinx is a scene where they navigate blindfolded a minefield of mousetraps while acting out oddball sketches involving audience suggestions. The show is listed on the Trop’s Web site (tropicana.net) as all-ages appropriate. Atlantic City Weekly recently spoke with Mochrie and Sherwood by phone following a string of shows in Montreal. Mochrie is originally from Scotland and now lives in Canada, and Sherwood is originally from Chicago and now lives in Los Angeles.
EVENT INFO to know that that person is sort of watching out for your back, and that you’re working together to make the show work. This wasn’t an occupation when I was growing up. The fact that I’m able to make a living out of something I love doing, I’m just constantly amazed when it works out. Brad, you were born in Chicago but raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico. That seems like going from one extreme to another. How did that come about? (Sherwood) My mom wanted to get out of the city and live a more artistic lifestyle, so we moved from where you pretty much knew everyone to a completely different universe, and I was dragged along. It was a culture shock but I think in the end it was good for me. I didn’t turn into some punk growing up on the mean streets of Chicago.
it’s more challenging for us. (Mochrie) We’ve been doing this now for about 10 years, and the reason we both still enjoy it so much is that we don’t have to play a hit song show after show. The beauty of it is that every one is completely different. Whatever happens, happens. And unlike standup, I think the audience is a little more on our side and wants us to succeed because they have a vested interest in the show. They’re the ones supplying all the information so we have a little more leeway to suck. You have a good rapport with one another and a knack for taking cues from one another to make the show flow seamlessly. (Sherwood) As an improviser you work a lot with your instincts. It’s kind of reflexive and reactive, almost like a martial art. You prepare and then you’re just able to deal with whatever comes at you. It’s kind of the comedic version of a martial art, really. (Mochrie) We make it fun for each other — that’s the main thing. As I’ve said, we’ve been on tour for 10 years and we’ve known each other for 20 years, so there’s a great trust. When it’s just you and another person having to make up a show with members of an audience who paid
good money to see something, and you don’t have anything, that’s where the trust really starts to build. The scariest part of that brand of humor for me would be worrying about drawing a blank, or not being spontaneous enough to react well to one of the situations you find yourself in. (Sherwood) Generally I have three or four ideas floating around in my head for any particular situation, and so does Colin, so at any given moment there are eight ideas floating around collectively in our heads and you just kind of grab one instinctively that you think is probably the best. Or, if you don’t have anything, the other guy’s probably got a few to choose from. So between the two of us we always manage to keep the show on its feet, if that makes any sense. (Mochrie) In real life I don’t think of myself as particularly quick. I’ve never won an argument with my wife, I’ve never been able to talk my way out of police tickets or anything, but I’m very fortunate that, right from the beginning of my career in comedy, I’ve always been surrounded by great people. [Improvisation] truly is an ensemble art — you can’t do it by yourself, you really need someone else there and you need

Colin, can you talk a little about the book you wrote? [Not Quite the Classics, available on e-books]. (Mochrie) One day my agent told me I should write a book and I told him the reason I like improv so much is because I hate working, and improv is great because you just show up, make up some crap and then leave. Writing seems like a lot of work but he got me a book deal and I had to come up with something to write. I thought, well, I’m an improviser so I tried to do it in an improvised way through a game called “First Line, Last Line” where the audience gives you the beginning sentence to the scene and the end, and you work your way to that. So my book is a collection of 12 short stories, with every story starting and ending with the beginning and ending lines of a famous novel, and I make up the middle. Will you guys being doing the skit involving the mousetraps in Atlantic City? (Mochrie) Yes. I’ve been trying to get rid of that game for years but the audience just wants it. We just did three nights in Montreal and no matter how brilliant the improv may have been before that, what the audience wants to see is two middle-aged guys hurting themselves. We’re pretty shameless. Anything for a laugh. ■

You just finished three shows in Montreal — does Canadian and American culture overlap enough to where your brand of improv comedy works in both countries? (Sherwood) Absolutely. First of all it’s so interactive that we’re getting suggestions from the audience and they’re the ones guiding us in the direction they want to go anyway, so unlike standup we don’t do a bunch of pop-culture topical stuff where we’re making fun of Justin Bieber or whatever. This crosses borders a lot better. Every once in a while there will be moments that may be similar to another show, but 99 percent of each one is different every single night — all of it improvised. We strive to make each show different as much for ourselves. We don’t want to fall into a rut of going down the same path in a scene every night, because we know we have the ability to make it different every single time, and

The Little Casino That Could The property has been through some changes in its 33-year history, but Atlantic Club Casino’s campaign to cater largely to locals has been paying big dividends. By David J. Spatz • feedback@acweekly.com

AUGUST 15 - 21, 2013 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY
I
t’s a double-take of a highway billboard if ever there was one: If you can’t laugh at their crappy comps, we’ll do it for you. Seventeen months after changing its name and re-branding itself as an affordable casino catering to a largely local market, the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel is showing a new side. It’s a casino with a sense of humor. While most observers — from gaming experts to casual casino guests — thought it was a David-versus-Goliath shot across the bow at Revel casino, Atlantic Club chief operating officer Michael Frawley said the message wasn’t targeted at any one of the city’s other 11 gaming halls. “A lot of people [asked] which casino we were talking about. But we weren’t talking about any [one] casino,” Frawley tells Atlantic City Weekly. “If a customer thought whatever casino they went to wasn’t treating them in the best way, we’d let them know that we could. And sometimes humor is the best way to get at things. Sometimes, in every bit of humor there’s a bit of truth. The humor of it has really worked well. It’s gotten us a lot of attention and sometimes you have to say what people are thinking.” Last year, when Revel was preparing to open its $2.4 billion gaming resort, industry observers were beginning to write obituaries for struggling casinos that would be forced to close because of Revel’s impact on the market. And because it was near the bottom of the pack with its monthly casino revenue and market share, the Atlantic Club was usually first on the mortality lists. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly
Atlantic Club set its sights on a demographic largely ignored by the other properties. Or, if not completely ignored, then undervalued and under-marketed. Unable to compete with the bigger properties to lure high-rolling customers to its tables and slot machines, the Atlantic Club set its sights on a demographic largely ignored by the other properties. Or, if not completely ignored, then certainly undervalued and under-marketed. While competing properties were pursuing potential customers in big-city markets like Philadelphia, New York and the BaltimoreWashington D.C. area, the Atlantic Club set its sights much closer to home. “When we were re-branding the property … we knew that we were going to have to stand out,” Frawley says. “We decided we would go for more of a locals price-oriented market.” The strategy worked. While Revel struggled to find market share — largely because it failed to acknowledge it even had a casino — the Atlantic Club not only held its own against the big blue monster at the opposite end of the Boardwalk, but — for nine consecutive months — actually beat Revel in monthly gaming revenue, often by double-digit percentage points. It wasn’t until last month, when Revel introduced a promotion that refunds slot machine losses, that the newest casino in town finally overtook the Atlantic Club. The Atlantic Club beat the odds makers that had been predicting the casino’s demise by making itself known as Atlantic City’s “afford-
able” casino. One of the most frequently heard complaints about Atlantic City’s casinos has been that everything — from the restaurants to the shows to the betting minimums — is too expensive for the average person just looking to have a little fun without breaking the bank. The Atlantic Club responded by creating a property with affordable price points. It retooled and opened restaurants where guests could enjoy dinner for two for what some finedining casino eateries charge for a single entrée. It began booking entertainers and charging, for most shows, only $20 a ticket. Okay, so maybe they weren’t presenting Beyoncé or Pitbull or Lady Gaga or any of the contemporary acts for whom ticket prices start at $75 to $100 or more. But they were offering shows by entertainers with name recognition. The Atlantic Club reconfigured its casino floor, installed lower-limit slot machines and table games and introduced an easy-to-get comp policy — hence the billboard — that extends its range beyond the casino and allows its guests to redeem comp points at participating area businesses. “We decided to listen to our customers,” says Frawley. “Most of our customers are locals, they come from about 40 miles out, and to tell you the truth, that’s kind of our biggest market. And rather than us dictating where a customer
would use their comps [at the property], we would let them have lot greater choice [beyond the casino].” Most businesses that accept the casino’s “Club Local” points are in Atlantic and Cape May counties, with some extending into Burlington and Camden counties, all within about 40 miles of the property. Frawley acknowledged the “locals” policy has been modeled after similar casinos outside Las Vegas which cater to residents, not highrolling guests who fly in from all over the world. Frawley should know; he spent years working in the Nevada gaming market. “If I wanted to go out and have a meal, local casinos were always the best value,” he says. “People were always nicer, the pay-out on the slots were always a little bit better. The last place you’d find me was at a great expensive place on the Strip. The have their place, but not when you live there.” The building that houses the Atlantic Club has had an interesting history and five different names over its 33-year history. It opened in late 1980 as casino mogul Steve Wynn’s original Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. He sold the property to Bally’s in 1987 for a massive profit, which he used to help finance construction of the Mirage in Las Vegas, the casino many credit with turning Las Vegas in a new direction with the development of megaresorts. Renamed Bally’s Grand, the casino remained stable until 1996, when Hilton Hotels purchased Bally Entertainment Corp. and rebranded the property as a Hilton resort. Hilton sold the property to Colony Capital, a private investment firm, but allowed the new owners to continue to use the Hilton name. However, Hilton ended the licensing agreement with Colony in 2011, and the casino was temporarily called the ACH until the Atlantic Club name emerged in March 2012. Earlier this year, a deal was apparently struck to sell the Atlantic Club to the Rational Group, the British parent company of Poker Stars, one of the world’s largest online poker sites. However, the prospective new owners failed to meet a state deadline the file paperwork to complete the sale, and the deal was called off and erupted into a legal battle that has yet to be resolved. Today, amid rumors that the Atlantic Club is still for sale, the casino is preparing to jump feet first into the Internet gaming waters, although it hasn’t yet named a partner in its online betting operation. New Jersey will launch Internet gaming in Atlantic City on Nov. 26. “Right now, we’re in talks with several Internet gaming providers and we hope to be making a decision within the next two or three weeks,” Frawley says. He admitted employee morale at the property was at an all-time low during the period when it was known as the ACH. But with the success of the “locals” policy — and after beating Revel in monthly casino win for nine months — workers there now have smiles on their faces. “Nothing makes employees happier than seeing customers say ‘we love what you’re doing’ [and] ‘keep doing what you’re doing’,” says the casino chief. “Believe me, we have a lot more work to do, but we’re definitely on the right path.” ■ see more online @

FEATURE >> When people meet us, I wasn’t expecting them to cry but they are such big fans, they can’t handle it when they meet us. It is so awkward for me to consider myself a celebrity but those are the people I do it for. It gets me emotional seeing them get so emotional. Have you met any fans who were unusual or funny? One fan wanted me to run for president and she wasn’t kidding. She wanted to run my campaign. Have you thought about down the road when you have to stand on your own as a musical artist? Definitely. Jessica Sanchez, who came in second last year, she is doing that now and I talk to her all the time, getting advice. You have to prepare and you have to know that you are talented and that you have a place in the industry. It’s a lot of pressure and a little bit scary but I think everything will turn out great.
Idol’s Gender Shift
After five years of male winners the show’s ladies dominated, especially winner Candice Clover, runner-up Kree Harrison By Lori Hoffman • feedback@acweekly.com
A
headed by season 12 winner Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Angie Miller, Janelle Arthur and Amber Holcomb. The tour also features the sing-off winner, Aubrey Cleland, and the five male finalists, Lazaro Arbos, Burnell Taylor, Devin Velez, Paul Jolley and Curtis Finch, Jr. Atlantic City Weekly had a chance to talk with both Candice Glover and Kree Harrison about their Idol experience, including their upcoming albums. First up is Candice Glover. How’s the tour going? It’s amazing. We are having so much fun seeing the fans face to face. Seeing them get up and dance with us is really great. How did you feel about the controversy that the season was stacked to have a girl win? I don’t know. I know that they wanted a girl to win. The world wanted a girl to win since we didn’t have a [female] winner in six years since Jordan Sparks.
What’s life like on the bus? Is Kree the den mother? Kree is not only the den mother, she is the Idol mother. She takes care of us and makes sure we are doing well. We spend time together, watch movies together and talk about typical girl stuff. We have to be the closest top six girls. We tell each other everything. Aubrey [Cleland] is hilarious. She does the best impressions of actors and actresses. She is just a joy to be around. Tell us about what music will be included in your debut album? The album is going really well. I’ve been recording with [Pleasantville native] Rodney Jerkins. It was great being able to work with a legend like him. The album will definitely have that R&B, soulful vibe I’m known for on the show. There is also some fun stuff, including a song [“In the Middle”] I’m premiering on the tour. Fans are enjoying the dance numbers, something I didn’t do that much on the show. What has happened on the tour that has been unexpected?

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • AUGUST 15 - 21, 2013
merican Idol’s Season 12 was loaded with turmoil. The ratings were slipping, first year judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj couldn’t hide their contempt for each other leading to a reported backstage feud, and the male contestants were the weakest talent wise in years, seemingly by design. It was clear that the producers wanted a female winner after a five-year run of male winners. The turmoil spilled into the current tour with an announcement that 25 percent of the American Idol tour dates for this summer were cancelled, likely from low ticket sales, although no official announcement was made to explain the cutback. Three of the four judges are gone, the two ladies joined by the last original judge, Randy Jackson, with only Keith Urban announced as returning for next season. Deadline.com is reporting that Jennifer Lopez will return as a judge, and that will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas is also in talks. The show will also have new producers. Veteran TV executive David Hill will oversee both American Idol and The X-Factor and both Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick were let go as executive producers, replaced by Per Blankens, who was in charge for five seasons of the Swedish version of American Idol. Meanwhile, the current tour features the strongest female contingent in a long time,
Now it is Kree Harrison’s turn to chat. What’s your favorite song you’re performing? “Up to the Mountain” by Patty Griffin. I love that song and it was a favorite on the show and I get to play guitar. What’s life like on the bus? We’re pretty chill. After the shows we’re exhausted, but we have fun. It’s like a slumber party with the girls. There are a lot of inside jokes. Candice says you are the Mother Hen . . . I guess that title comes from asking everybody if they need help. That’s my nature. I like to help people. Talk about the album you are working on. I’ve been listening to a lot of songs and writing a little bit. It’s all coming together. There hasn’t been anything recorded. I’m going to do that once I get back to Nashville. I’m excited about getting my music out to the fans, but also I want to take the time to make something special to me because it is my first record. Where do you fit in since there are so many styles of country music these days? I will stay true to my country roots but at the same time I don’t want to put myself in a box. I know who I am as an artist. I’m still Kree. You got to make your Grand Old Opry debut with Keith Urban. How amazing was that? It was incredible. It was really emotional to stand on that stage and sing in that circle where so many of my idols have stood. I want to do it again. Have you keeping up on the Idol gossip about the judges for next season? I’ve heard things through the grapevine but other than that I don’t really known what’s going on. I’m excited like everybody else to find out. ■

Recession Fueled Sci-Fi Neill Bloomkamp’s ‘Elysium’ paints a bleak picture of the future By Lori Hoffman • feedback@acweekly.com
S
outh African filmmaker Neill Bloomkamp has created two science fiction films to date, District 9 and Elysium, that use the sci-fi template to rail again the ugliness of human behavior. Both examine the casual cruelty of the privileged few towards the massive poor. In District 9 the writer-director examined the apartheid he had witnessed growing up in South Africa, with an alien race restricted to living in a police state ghetto. In Elysium, starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and Bloomkamp’s favorite leading man, Sharlto Copley, Bloomkamp has expanded his vision. The entire planet is a ghetto created by pollution, radiation and over-population, with earth’s inhabitants struggling to survive every day and hospitals trying to do what they can with limited resources. The privileged rich have created an off world space station, Elysium, where they have machines the cure every disease, living in a fantasy world of lush landscapes and palatial homes. Confronted by this worst case scenario should the wealthy take its current control of banking and industry to a logical conclusion devoid of any compassion for those less fortunate, makes one wonder how any sci-fi movies manage to create a bright, hopeful future. The optimism of the 1960s, which fueled Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s hopeful take on the future, is long gone. Set in 2154, Matt Damon stars as the earthbound Max Da Costa, a former car thief now a factory worker on probation. Earth is still useful enough to house factories to help create the goods needed by the Elysium leisure class. Jobs are scarce and if you have one you try to keep it, which means when Max is asked to do a dangerous task by his supervisor, he can’t refuse. Fatally irradiated, a robot doctor tells him he has five days to live and hands him a few pills to ease his suffering.
Now Max is more motivated to make his childhood dream of going to Elysium a priority. He wants to live and he is sick of the tantalizing perfection of Elysium mocking him. With the help of his friend Julio (Diego Luna) and underworld kingpin Spider (Wagner Moura), Max agrees to be turned into a Borg-like human/robot hybrid so that he can break through the extensive security surrounding Elysium and steal some justice for everybody on earth, including a childhood friend Frey (Alice Braga), whose daughter is dying of leukemia. In his path are the villains of the piece, Jodie Foster as Secretary Delacourt, Elysium’s powerful head of security, and her favorite thug/enforcer, Kruger (Copley). Max must face off against Kruger is an impressive showdown that will determine the success of his mission. Elysium features a brilliant premise, but the execution is less impressive that his previous outing in the genre, District 9. Mixing social commentary with action is a tricky blend, and Elysium falters on the action side, leaving one with a vague feeling of disappointment that the message isn’t delivered with quite as much panache as District 9. Copley is effective as the psychotic madman who loves his job, although Foster doesn’t have as much to do and seems uncomfortable as an ultra villain. Damon is solid as Max and you will be rooting for him to get his revenge on the one-percenters for us in the past as well as the future envisioned by Bloomkamp.

South Jersey surfer Kyle Tester
Broadway Musical ‘Peter Pan’
“We hold events for adults, but a lot of what we do is for the kids.” “In the summer months we usually get a big crowd at the beach so they watch the surfers compete,” says Gratolla, who adds that there aren’t many spectators in the fall or spring months. The ESA is a non-profit organization. It is a volunteer group that provides surfing competitions and events for the youth and adults in the community. “It’s the thread that ties the surfing community together,” adds Gratolla. The ESA was founded in 1967 and has 25 districts up and down the East Coast, Gulf Coast, and Great Lakes. Each district runs their own events, which qualifies the surfers for the three district region events: MidAtlantic, North Atlantic, and Southeast. A championship competition is also held annually in September in Nags Head, North Carolina. According to Gratolla, many of the surfers in the South Jersey ESA go on to do professional surfing or take on jobs in the action sports industry. In fact, two of its current top surfers are 18-year old Cassidy McClain and 11-year
old Kyle Tester. “We hold events for adults, but a lot of what we do is for the kids,” says Gratolla. Gratolla adds that his favorite part about being involved with the ESA is seeing the kids get excited about surfing and watching them improve their skills. McClain, a Ventnor resident, won the Junior Women’s Division at the Northeast Nationals in May, and recently won a professional event in North Carolina. She also won the last two local events for the Open Shore Board Division, which was comprised of the best male and female surfers. Tester, a Cape May resident, won first place at the VQS in Atlantic City in September and took second place in the age 10 and under at the East Coast Championships in Florida. McClain and Tester, along with dozens of other surfers, will be attending the Ocean City event, which takes place on the 7th Street beach from 7am to 4pm. Additional details about the event can be found at surfesa.org. ■

t’s surf’s up in Ocean City this weekend. On Saturday, Aug. 17, surfers of all ages are slated to hit the waves for the Eastern Surf Association (ESA) Surf Competition. There are usually one or two competitions scheduled in Ocean City each year. The competitions occur in almost every beach town in New Jersey, but Ocean City is something special. “Ocean City has a long standing history of being a surf town and was one of the first towns to run surf events, starting in the ’60s,” says Joe Gratolla, co-director of the South Jersey ESA. Gratolla and his wife Lisa Roselli have been co-directors of the South Jersey ESA since the early 1990s, and previously served 20 years as volunteers with the organization. The event is open to anyone who wants to participate, including residents of the area as well as neighboring state residents and Ocean City vacationers. Surfers interested in participating must be members of the ESA. Participants can join the organization and register for the competition on the same day, and can do so up until the morning of the event (7-8am). The annual membership fee is $55 and the charge per event is $20 (an additional $5 fee applies for surfers running in additional classes). Participants will compete in four divisions: traditional longboard, shortboard, bodyboard/ boogieboard, and stand-up paddleboard, the latter which was just added to the competition last year. The competition welcomes all levels. The divisions are broken down by age or sex, although some division incorporate everyone. Only four to six surfers will be competing at a time, while waiting participants will free-surf in the surrounding waters. The winner of each round will move on to the next round until the final round of each division. The top three finishers in each division will receive awards, and all participants will receive goodie bags, which include surf goodies from local businesses that support the organization and donate to the event. Raffle prices will also be awarded. Members of the community are welcome to attend the event to watch the surfers in action.
