r. George Clinton, undoubetley the funkiest doctor ever, headlines the final show in the Atlantic City Summer Concert Series at Gardner’s Basin on Sat., Aug. 24.

The free, outdoor concert will kick off at 1pm with local musicians; Clinton and his “25 or 27”-man band are slated to go on around 4pm. Clinton, 73, has been the leader of Parliament Funkadelic and a heralded and highly influential musician for more than 50 years. Although he received an honorary doctor of music degree from the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., last year, that hasn’t prevented his Mothership from landing all over the world for concerts or from the Florida resident (Clinton was born in North Carolina, but grew up in Plainfield, N.J., and now resides in Tallahassee) from working with young funk bands, starring in a reality series that is currently in production, and working to get songwriters and artists the money that is owed to them by the ever-shrinking record business. His site, Flashlight2013.com shines a light on specific copyright disputes and cases. During a ride to New Jersey after arriving at Philly International on a red-eye from California on Wednesday afternoon, days before his show in A.C., gave AC Weekly an exclusive interview. Although we can’t fit much of it here, you can read the entire interview at acweekly.com prior to the show. Although Clinton and his funky bunch have performed in Atlantic City before — at the casinos and elsewhere — Clinton remembers that his doo-wop group, The Parliaments, played the Club Harlem way back in the early ’60s. That was before, he says, his music started leaning more towards sci-fi hippies — from song content down to his look — rather than the Flamingos. But while Clinton and his bands started singing about social problems within America, the soul of the music just got funkier and funkier. With Aug. 28 marking the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, Clinton says the historic event “was the beginning of the change in people’s minds. It needs to happen again. Not harsh or anything, but just as a reminder.”

New Northfield Mini-Golf Course Brings Boardwalk-Brand Fun to the Mainland

By Carmen Capoferri

M

iniature golf courses are so abundant along the boardwalks of the Jersey shore that it’s not at all uncommon to witness two or three courses plopped next to each other in the same general vicinity. The further you reside from these hot spots for family entertainment, however, the harder it becomes to enjoy a fun game of miniature golf without first having to pack a beach towel and folding chair and heading for the shore. Well, Northfield residents have recently been granted an alternative route to fulfilling their mini-golf fix with the grand opening of Tiki Tee Mini Golf, which delivers putt-putt action with a luau-inspired theme. The proprietors of the course transformed what had been a vacant lot on the corner of Tilton Road into an ornate and entertaining new course decked with totem poles, tiki huts and towering waterfalls and 19 holes (sink a putt on the 19th hole and win a free game and a free frozen yogurt). For more info, call 646-7171 or find them on Facebook.

tlantic City Weekly has learned that the fourth and final show for the Atlantic City Alliance’s 3D sound and light series will debut Thursday, Aug. 29, on the facade of Boardwalk Hall. Unlike the first three well-received shows — with the current “Broadway Beat” show still running through Aug. 28 — the final show (entitled “AC Dreamin’”) will include “live action, [an] original music score and, of course, the incredible effects that make the shows so incredible,” according to the ACA’s chief strategy officer Jeff Guaracino. The next show has also been produced by Montreal-based Moment Factory, which has worked on all four 3D sound and light shows in A.C. (including “Duality,” which debuted in July 2012; “Winter Sweet,” which debuted in December 2012 and ran all winter; and the aforementioned music-oriented “Broadway Beat,” which ran this summer). The company is currently working with Nine Inch Nails on a project — in addition to projects with some of the world’s most famous DJs. Moment Factory has also worked on projects with Jay-Z, Disney, Cirque du Soleil, Céline Dion, Microsoft and Madonna, among hundreds of other clients. The light shows are free and open to the public, with no tickets are required. The shows are shown nightly every half hour after dark.

John Jorgenson in Ocean City

By Jeff Schwachter

A

coustic guitarists, listen up. John Jorgenson (Desert Rose Band, Elton John, The Hellecasters) and fellow Takamine artist Brad Davis will make a special appearance at Ocean City’s GrassRoots Music Store on Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 28, starting at 3pm. The pair of Grammywinning six-string slingers — who met while working with the legendary Earl Scruggs — both represent Takamine guitars, and are spreading the word (and sounds) of the guitar brand in music stores around the country with their “The Art of Acoustic Performance” in-store series. Jorgenson, who portrayed Django Reinhardt in the 2003 film Head in the Clouds, also performs with the jazzy John Jorgenson Quintet, as well as an electric band and a bluegrass band under his name. Jorgenson tells AC Weekly: “After playing many years at Disneyland in California, I met up with Chris Hillman in 1985 and formed the Desert Rose Band. This led to a busy career as a session musician in Nashville as well as L.A.” He adds: “As I’ve played Takamine guitars onstage for years, it’s just natural that I would perform as a Takamine artist. I’m really pleased it gives me the chance to collaborate with fellow Takamine artist Brad Davis, as we have a great time playing together.” The Ocean City stop will not only include a special performance by the duo in an “intimate and informal [setting] with plenty of audience interaction and questions, balanced with a large dose of good playing and singing,” but will also give guitarists the chance to check out — and play — a variety of Takamine models, ranging from high-end limited edition models and signature models to the more affordable priced styles. Jorgenson says that usually at the end of the performance, “sometimes spontaneous jam sessions occur, which is fantastic!” GrassRoots is located at 1045 Asbury Ave. “Brad and I both really look forward to coming to play for, meet and interact with all the players and aficionados who come out to see us,” adds Jorgenson.

ood things come to those who wait.

And wait. And wait a little more. And then, when all else fails, they open their mouths.

Last year, while comedy actress Vicki Lawrence was working on bonus features prior to the DVD release of the old Carol Burnett Show variety series, she expressed her frustration to executives of Time-Life that her own television series, Mama’s Family, wasn’t being considered for home consumption.

“Every time I’d ask, I’d be told ‘no, it’s not gonna ever happen’,” Lawrence tells Atlantic City Weekly. “Everywhere I’d go to ask, I’d get ‘no.’ I’d get rejection.”

No one ever offered her a valid reason why the series — which starred Lawrence as Mama, an irascibly sassy old lady of a character she originated on the Burnett Show — wasn’t going to be released to the public. The series debuted on NBC in 1983, moved to syndication in 1985 and had a six-year, 130-episode run.

“They said, ‘Well, a lot of times there are extenuating circumstances, and some people can’t be dealt with, there are issues, legal or otherwise,’ and they started listing all these wonderful shows that will never be on DVD,” she adds during a phone call from her California home.

Knowing how frustrated she was, Lawrence says her publicist suggested she tell her fans to “pirate” the Mama’s Family episodes from the

Internet. Curious, the actresses began surfing the Web to see what was out there in cyberspace.

And she was appalled by what she saw.

“I even bought one of the pirated versions off the Internet to see what was going out to people, and it was just horrible, like some kid did it in their garage,” she says. “The quality was awful; there were no bonus features.”

But earlier this year — not long after she told the Time-Life folks that releasing Mama’s Family on DVD would be “a dream come true,” Lawrence says she began to hear “rumblings” that her wish just might be granted.

Just a few months ago, she got the official word: Gather together the original cast and get ready to start shooting bonus features. Mama’s Family was finally coming to DVD. The time flew by in a blur. Lawrence and the cast shot a round-table conversation in which they shared memories and told stories about the making of the series. Lawrence even did a splitscreen “interview” with Mama.

Then she and Burnett sat down to share some memories of the “birth” of Mama, and things really got interesting.

It’s common knowledge that the Mama character was originally written for Burnett, who felt Mama didn’t “speak” to her as well as Eunice, the character she eventually played in the recurring sketches. She gave Mama to Lawrence, the youngest member of the Burnett Show ensemble

Vicki Lawrence (right) and her beloved TV character Mama

that included veterans like Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Lyle Waggoner and occasionally Dick Van Dyke.

It’s also been well documented that when the writers of the sketch saw the first rehearsal and realized Burnett had given Mama to Lawrence — and given the bit a southern accent — they were so angry they walked out of rehearsal.

What Lawrence didn’t know until she sat down with Burnett to record a bonus for the Mama’s Place DVD was that Mama had been modeled after the mother of one of the writers.

“I didn’t know [until decades later] that Mama was actually based on a real mother. I mean, I knew bits and pieces of people’s dysfunctional mothers, but I had no idea [she was based on] a woman exactly like that,” she says. “[When]

Carol and I did [the] interview for the DVD set that’s coming out ... it was amazing. There were things I knew that she didn’t, and things that she told me that I never knew.”

Mama’s Family is now available — all 130 shows — online at mamasfamilydvds.com.

Individual seasons will eventually be released through various retail outlets.

Although Mama’s Place shot its last episode in 1990, it’s never really left the air. It’s always airing on some cable channel. As a result, Lawrence, 64, has gained a new generation of younger fans for her live stage show Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two-Woman Show, which she’ll perform Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Trump Taj Mahal.

“I was absolutely amazed when we started doing the [live] show at the number of college kids [who said they] wouldn’t have gotten through [college] without Mama,” Lawrence says. “They said they would stop whatever they were doing when Mama was on and just laugh their asses off.”

Mama’s Family also proved to Lawrence that success on television can be the gift that keeps on giving, but in a strange way. “When you last long enough in television, people just keep finding you backwards,” she explains. “Because [younger people] only knew Mama’s Family, they’d come to my show and they hear the stories about how I met [Burnett] and about the first half of my career. Then they go on YouTube and find the Burnett Show. ... So they have kind of found me backwards.” n

O

nce again, greetings and salutations.

Well, this is it, the last weekend before the big hurrah. I don’t have to tell you the magic that’s been happening at Memories. Everybody is a part of it, last weekend, no exception. The ladies from Liverpool, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, and of course, the regulars who come week after week, and then the dignitaries — Carl Poplar and his Peggy, my dear friends Richard & Lois Basciano, Fred & Irene Shabel, Frankie Palm and family, Phil Juliano, Terri Lutz, Dr. Hussain with his lovely wife Roseanne and family, the honorable Dr. Nick DePace and his lovely wife Marilyn, and my old friend Jose and his lovely wife Deborah, along with friends, plus the president of financial services at PNC, William Mills, and his lovely lady Pat Riley.

And most returned Sunday night to hear the sounds of the Sensational Soul Cruisers, who will be back this Sunday (Aug. 25). And I don’t have to tell you that last Thursday night Memories was packed with folks who came to see the hot group Not Collidge Material, who return next Thursday (Aug. 29) for the beginning of our Labor Day celebration.

So for the weekend of Labor Day we will be going nonstop Wednesday through Sunday — and Sunday night, Sept. 1, one of the most amazing groups you ever will see, Lowcut Connie, who were called in Rolling Stone magazine “the hottest new group on the horizon.” Wait till you hear them do “Old Time Rock & Roll” in a special way. Watch out for this group, they are destined for stardom. Now, let’s ask the Geator.

Jerry, I was surprised to see that you actually had vinyl albums in your hands last night. The sound system was incredible. — Michael R., Erial, N.J. Sound and lights have always been very important in my career, because I know the importance they play in making a show successful. That’s why I spare no effort to make sure that everything is right for the audience to party and appreciate the music. Vinyl also gives me an opportunity to shuffle through and pick songs to create a certain rhythm or energy. For me it’s easier than having to use CDs, and enables me to segue faster. Vinyl is making a comeback these days as young folks discover a quality of sound that you don’t get from digital music.

Pat Upton of Spiral Starecase

“Vinyl is making a comeback these days as young folks discover a quality of sound that you don’t get from digital music.”

I heard a song on your show that was a slow ballad by a group you said was the Futures. I think the title might have been “Love.” I never heard this song before and would like to know more about the group.

— Shelly Lindermann, on my way to Wildwood Great Philly group, actually from Camden, who unfortunately never got the attention.

Their big dance song, “Love,” was produced

by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff for Philly International. You might know them from another song of theirs I often play, “Part Time Party Time Man.” Pat Upton, lead singer of Spiral Starecase — whatever happened to him and would you ever be able to get him to the Kimmel Center?

— Glen, Philadelphia Really, as Frankie Valli was the sound of the Four Seasons, Pat was the sound of the Spiral Starecase, and in my opinion he was an untapped talent. His voice and range were extraordinary. I booked the group several times when I was doing my TV show in the ’60s. I believe he is living back in Alabama and released a solo album a few years ago. If he is still performing, I would book him as a solo singer at the Kimmel Center and surround him with a backup group and the orchestration to do his amazing voice justice. ■

Rydell’s ‘Wildwood Days’ Bobby Rydell’s roots in the Cape May County resort run much deeper than the hit song it’s based upon.

rite what you know is a common suggestion for writers.

It turned out to be sound advice for Cameo Parkway Records of Philadelphia in the early 1960s. The label’s songwriting staff composed such hits as “South Street” by the Orlons and “Bristol Stomp” by the Dovells and found favor with record buyers nationally with the help of a little local flavor.

A third song, “Wildwood Days” by Bobby Rydell, continues to enjoy a wave of popularity that shows no sign of ebbing 50 years after its release.

“It’s like the national anthem of Wildwood,” says Rydell, who will perform Friday through Sunday (Aug. 30-Sept. 1) at the Atlantic Club and Casino. “Wildwood Days,” which reached the Top 20 on Billboard’s singles charts, is a fixture in his set lists whenever he performs at the Jersey shore or the Philadelphia area, he adds.

The song’s driving beat and promise of a vacation utopia — “where every day is a holiday/and every night is a Saturday night” — sold the Wildwoods better than any advertising campaign could.

When filmmaker Carolyn Travis set out to make a documentary about Wildwood, there was no doubt about what to call the movie.

“Wildwood Days was always the title,” she says of the 2008 film. “It was my first thought and nothing seemed right after that. The song came out when I was a little kid going to Wildwood with my parents, so it had good memories attached,” adds Travis.

Rydell’s version of “Wildwood Days” is featured prominently on the movie soundtrack and is used to introduce different segments of the film. He also is shown performing the song at the Italian-American Festival in North Wildwood in 2004.

The success of “Wildwood Days” means that Rydell, 71, will have a permanent link to the Cape May County resort, but his association with Wildwood dates to his childhood in the early 1940s.

“My grandmother had a boarding house at 232 E. Montgomery Avenue,” says Rydell, recalling spending summers with his parents there and his grandmother’s culinary abilities. “She would cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for boarders and charge $100 a week.”

During the 1950s, Rydell was attracted to Wildwood’s vibrant music scene. Too young to go inside the clubs, he would stand outside on the sidewalk and soak in the

sounds.

“At the Rainbow, I remember hearing Georgie Young and the Rockin’ Bocs,” says Rydell, who praised Young’s work as a saxophonist. Rydell would use the group as his backing band on “Kissin’ Time,” the 1959 single that went to No. 11 on the Billboard singles charts and launched his career. By the end of 1965, Rydell would place 30 songs in the Top 100 of Billboard’s singles charts, with 19 cracking the Top 40.

Ironically, Rydell was not the first Cameo Parkway artist to record “Wildwood Days.”

The Dovells featured the song on the flip side of “Bristol Stomp,” the group’s hit single released in the spring of 1963.

Kal Mann and Dave Appell, who frequently worked together, teamed up to write the song.

“You write something that people relate to,” Appell said in a 2007 interview in which he talked about his approach to songwriting.

“Sometimes I had a melody and Kal would have a lyric,” Appell recalled. “Kal had his finger on the pulse on what was going on in those days.”

Rydell says his family history led to him getting a shot at “Wildwood Days” in the wake of the Dovells’ effort. “The owners of Cameo Parkway knew I was a Wildwood guy.”

While the Dovells featured group vocals on their version, Rydell’s lead singing with help from his backing singers gave the song a lively party feeling that’s heightened by the interplay of the horn section and organ.

“It’s a great song to dance to and sing along with,” says Rydell, who was just 20 when he made the recording.

By May 1963, Rydell was riding high as “Wildwood Days” was climbing the charts and Bye Bye Birdie, which featured the singer in a supporting role opposite AnnMargret, was arriving in movie theaters across the country.

Rydell spent much of the spring promoting the song in concerts and sock hops around the country and also appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Ultimately, the song would climb to No. 17 on the Billboard charts, a strong showing for a song about a South Jersey resort.

Looking back, Rydell says “Wildwood Days” will always have a special place in his career.

“I can be introduced to young people and they won’t know who I am, but they’ll know ‘Wildwood Days.’” n

“We are doing as close to Broadway as possible.” to Broadway as possible,” says Hartman.

The Junior Group puts on a few smaller shows throughout the year, but only does one large production each year.

“It’s a fun show,” says Marshal. “I’ve been watching [the movie] since I was little, so it’s fun to portray the character I know and love.”

Tickets for the show are $13-$15. “We keep the prices low because it’s student programming,” says Hartman. “A lot of the actors’ families are coming to the show so we aren’t looking to make a lot of money off of them.”

The OCTC staff encourages members of the community to see Grease. “The whole theater experience is going away, especially in our day of technology, so it’s important to be involved in it,” says Hartman. “It’s a celebration of talent, arts

and culture, and you can see it come to life.”

In addition to the educational programs it offers, the OCTC houses a professional company in which New York City actors come to Ocean City to perform with the OCTC for the summer. The professional shows are not much more in price — never topping $25 — as part of the theater company’s mission to provide affordable entertainment for the community.

“I love to see the interaction between people living in New York who do this for a living and kids being exposed to music for the first time,” says Hartman.

Grease opens at the Ocean City Music Pier on Aug. 23 (7:30pm) with two additional shows on Aug. 24 (2 and 7:30pm). For tickets call 525-9248 or visit ocnj.us/boxoffice. ■

et ready to put on your leather jackets and hand jive the night away. Ocean City Theater Company’s (OCTC) Junior Company is putting on their rendition of Grease, The Musical on Aug. 23-24.

The musical will performed by the OCTC’s Junior Company, a talented group of students from 6th to 12th grade. Grease is one of the longest running musicals of all time, and is among the most produced shows in the United States.

It tells the story of Sandy and Danny, who fall in love over summer vacation, and later find themselves at the same high school. After Sandy finds out Danny is not who she thought he was, rekindling their romance may not be as easy as they thought. ...

The part of the innocent Sandy will be played

by Kylie Marshal from Pittsburgh, while her counterpart, bad boy and T-bird leader Danny, will be played by Justin Smith from Ocean City. “It’s a strong show and a strong cast,” says Michael Hartman, the artistic director at the OCTC. The classic tunes of Grease — ”You’re the One that I Want,” “Summer Nights” and “Greased Lightning” — come from the 1978 film starring Olivia-Netwon John and John Travolta.

Back in June, the students went through an audition process on a set that mimics a professional-level audition. Hartman says he wanted the young actors to experience a professional audition in which they have to perform a song for a specific length of time and may get a call back that same day. The audition was open to any high school student who was in the Ocean City area for the summer — including local residents and several vacationers from out-of-state. “[The actors are] the best of the best from different schools,” says Hartman.

Since being cast, the student actors have dedicated their summer to rehearsals, with three rehearsals per week, plus additional rehearsals a few weeks leading up to the show.

There are two versions of Grease — a Broadway version and a toned-down school version. The OCTC will be doing the Broadway version. “Some of the adult content we won’t make as intense, but we don’t want to do the school version,” says Hartman. “We are doing as close

‘Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody’ delivers naughty laughs at Golden Nugget

f you walk into Spank! The 50 Shades Parody late (and on the night I saw it, quite a few did) be prepared to become part of the show. The sharp-tongued star of Spank!, Amanda Barker, is an improv sketch artist veteran (The Best of Second City) authorized to engage the audience directly and she nailed a few late-arriving patrons. Accusing one of not wanting to leave the tables, it turned out she needed vodka, which became one of many hearty laughs gleaned from audience participation.

This was a rowdy crowd indeed. Because of the girls-night-out nature of the show and the tantalizing sexual innuendo inherit in the material, not to mention the sexy presence of male lead Drew Moerlein, the audience reacts more like strip club patrons than a theater audience. That’s the whole point.

The premise of the three-character play written and directed by Jim Millan is simple. Barker plays E.B Janet, a housewife who decides to write an erotic novel. As she types away at her computer, her two protagonists come to life, the naïve Natasha Woode as the Anastasia substitute (played on this night by Kira McCarthy) and the dangerous, hunky businessman Hugh Hanson in the Christian role (Moerlein).

Full disclosure note: I have not read the Fifty Shades trilogy, and while I’m sure the show is funnier for those who have, there was plenty of enjoyment to be had for the Shades “virgins” if you will.

Barker’s E.B. is a hoot as she comes up with more bizarre sexual behaviors for her characters and enjoys her erotic kicks

right along with them. She also discloses that she has at her disposal, “Enough Chardonnay for an elephant’s bachelorette party.” E.B. lets her hair down even more

as the evening goes on and the wine is consumed.

The show features hilarious song parodies based on tunes from Cabaret and

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I’m sure about the first and not so sure about the latter), and as E.B. creates her fantasy world, she also tosses in some current cultural references like typing that her protagonist smells like Ryan Gosling when he has sex.

From what I can guess watching the show, a toothbrush, sex toys and erotic e-mails are a big part of Fifty Shades and they show up in Spank!, but as for actual spanking, not so much. These characters get their erotic kicks in other ways.

While Moerlein has a blast providing an amusing take on a strutting sexual master, and McCarthy has fun as the ingénue earning some sexual experience of all shades, it is Barker’s hilarious turn as the housewife who lusts for a more exciting life that is the heart of the show. Barker’s skill at improvisation (her credits also include being the only female baseball mascot in history, for the Toronto Blue Jays) allows her to take control of the stage and the audience at will and she does it effortlessly.

Making my own current cultural reference, Barker was so good she reminded me of Melissa McCarthy. Yes, she was that good.

Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody delivers plenty of naughty fun. ■ see more online @

Galloway’s Greek Garden

Athenian Garden

619 S. New York Rd. (Route 9) Galloway Township

For 10 years, a little hideaway called Athenian Garden off Route 9 has been serving up the most authentic Greek cuisine you’ll find on this side of the Atlantic. By Frank Gabriel • feedback@acweekly.com

athenian-garden.com 748-1818

The fare reflects the entirety of that ancient land.

Eggplants, a notoriously difficult veggie to correctly prepare, are slowly roasted, allowed to fully cool and then scooped until hollow. Blended with olive oil, almonds and seasonings, this version was nothing short of manna, centrally utilizing a perfectly seasonal ingredient as well. Served alongside fresh house-made bread and pitas, these elevated creations alone could suffice as a lovely, midsummer repast, loaded with flavor and incredibly healthful.

Another highlight of the menu is Nick’s octopus krasato. Half a foot or so of tender mollusk is sautéed simply with white wine and tomato sauce, and then plated atop linguine. We sampled this spectacular seafood

— imported from European waters — and found it as hearty and filling as ahi tuna, at a fraction of the price.

With a crunchy exterior, caramelized and succulent, their version will serve as an ideal introduction for anyone who was never brave enough to consume this oceanic delicacy.

The Psonous family is originally native to the northern Greek town of Polekastano, located in the region known as Macedonia.

Nick describes in great detail how location affects the cuisine of the Greek islands and mainland. Those from Macedonia — a region of Greece, not the independent country to its north — prefer heartier, country

fare like lamb and oven-cooked stews with leek, cabbage and root vegetables.

Other districts include Asia Minor, where flavors and spices from the east, cumin and cardamom, along with cream sauces like tzatziki, are heavily employed; Peloponnese, a peninsula appropriately known for seafood; Epiros, a northwestern area where pies and frogs legs are common and the island of Crete, where wild greens and snails remain popular.

The fare at Athenian Garden has been designed to reflect the entirety of that ancient land, although Nick says “it’s not for the Greeks, it’s for everyone.”

Nightly additions to the menu might include a fish stew called kakavia, composed of sardines, king fish, black bass, whole shrimp, baccala (salted preserved cod fish) clams and mussels. Or the lamb entree kokinisto, native to the Peloponnesians, doused with exotic cinnamon, cumin, allspice, clove and bay leaf.

Calling this potent mixture “like a masala in terms of spices,” Nick also adds that “whatever I make, I like to use a Greek taste.”

Excepting perhaps his truly exceptional falafel, which he readily admits is “Israeli/ Lebanese” in origin. Fresh patties of a bright green chick pea meal — seasoned with herbs more aggressively than Greek falafel — are fried until crunchy, but remarkably soft and pliable within.

It’s a labor of love, like most of the food here.

“I refined it over the last seven years,” says Nick.

Just like the business itself, which Roula best describes as “10 years old and going strong.” ■ see more online @

oute 9 careens through rural northern Atlantic County like a serpent bent on returning to water.

Tucked into a friendly curve on that historic roadway, just within tiny Conovertown in Galloway Township, you will find the Athenian Garden restaurant. Owned and operated by the Psounos family — husband and wife Nick and Roula, and sons Lambros, 31, and Andreas, 25 — this charming roadside establishment has been open since May 2003.

Possessing the warmth and comfort of a Mediterranean tavern, its interiors feature rustic woods and soft beige tones. To the rear sits an extensive garden providing fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, basil and marjoram, all vital to the cuisine served.

Along with tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and a number of fruit trees — black mission fig, pear and quince among them — the verdant space conveys an atmosphere of welcome and conviviality.

This only continues upon entry to the eatery itself. The building has been wisely designed so that the very first visual a customer receives is their extensive cold case, laden with gorgeous, multihued vegetables and delectably prepared foods.

Like a quartet of dips sampled — melitzanosalata, a blend “similar to baba ganoush” according to both Roula and Andreas; skordalia, a garlic and almond spread; traditional humus, composed of chick peas; and tzatziki, the ubiquitous dairy condiment so prevalent throughout the middle East.

We were particularly enamored of melitzanosalata, which had been aerated enough to produce a refined, truly mousse-like, smooth texture and mouth feel. Roula describes the process required.

“It’s like a whole-day ritual,” she says.

Pool Rules

Originally intended as an ultra-luxurious amenity for hotel guests, The Pool at Harrah’s has morphed into the ultimate nightlife experience. By Ray Schweibert • feedback@acweekly.com

A

designed to be just a hotel daytime pool [which it still is, 8am-6pm daily],” says Howard Weiss, Caesars Entertainment’s regional director of nightlife operations, eastern division. “Then [management] saw the space and said ‘hey, you know what?

Maybe we can turn this into a nightclub’ and that’s how it evolved into what we have today.”

The 172,000 square-foot domed room has a 23,000 square-foot pool as its centerpiece surrounded by tropical plants and palm trees, daybeds, cabanas, hot tubs, bars and The Loft — an elevated area with a more laid-back vibe and an adjacent outdoor component overlooking the back bays and Absecon Inlet. The whole operation needed a little fine-tuning to make it work as a nightlife venue after its initial debut.

“It was not an immediate success,” says Weiss. “We sort of did a couple of test runs that didn’t quite work, we started over, we brought in a couple of different themes and promoters, and booked some different DJs. It took a good eight months to get this thing going on the pace that it has been for the last six years.

“There was certainly a trial-and-error basis in the beginning to really figure out how to do this,” adds Weiss, “but once it got

rolling, nobody ever thought that we’d get to the point where we are today. And we’re continuing to move forward and have new events and bring in new guests. It’s been very exciting for the property and for the company.”

In 2011 The Pool — whose dome lurks below one of the largest LED display surfaces in the world on the Waterfront Tower’s glass panels (hawking key events happening throughout Harrah’s property and sometimes sister properties), and can look a bit like a giant UFO when lit up at night — was named the Mega Club of the Year by Bar & Nightclub magazine. Chosen from a field of nightclubs and nightlife venues from around the world, that distinction is as good as it gets in the nightlife business.

Aside from the obvious extravagances that make it stand out, The Pool has also worked well as a nightclub by breaking tradition from what is typical at most nightclubs today — a DJ format that focuses exclusively on modern electronic dance music.

The Pool’s DJs, who include residents Vito G, Eddie Edge, Pauly D and a slew of special guests from around the country (among them DJs Camilo and Webstar from New York City, DJ Konflikt from Miami and DJ Hollywood from Las Vegas) all adhere to a

Nobody ever thought we’d get to the point where we are today.”

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • AUGUST 22 - 28, 2013

nyone who ever fantasized about being stranded on a desert oasis with hot bodies like Paris Hilton, Melanie Brown, Tara Reid or Kendra Wilkinson (or Brody Jenner, just to be fair), can pretty much ditch that dream ever coming to fruition. There is realistic hope for a reasonable facsimile happening at The Pool at Harrah’s, however.

Arriving on the Atlantic City scene at the start of summer 2007, and the cornerstone of the first phase of a $550 million expansion project completed in 2008 that would unveil Harrah’s 44-story Waterfront Tower (recently relegated to the second tallest structure in the city by Revel), The Pool started out merely as a first-rate luxury amenity for hotel guests located next to the property’s new cutting-edge Red Door Spa. What it later became is the setting for Atlantic City’ ultimate nightlife scene, where hundreds of primarily 20- and 30-somethings party into the wee hours on weekends (and midweek during its Wet ‘N’ Wild Wednesdays industry night) alongside a bevy of different celebrities, show-biz sorts, special guests and widely renowned DJs. On Aug. 24, as part of its “Epic Saturdays” series, British pop star Melanie Brown, who rose to fame as Mel B of the Spice Girls, will be the special guest at The Pool. The following Saturday it’s Brody Jenner’s birthday bash preceded the night before (Aug. 30, dubbed “Aqua Fridays”) by a special visit from Chuy Bravo, Chelsea Handler’s diminutive sidekick.

“When it was originally built, The Pool was not designed to be a nightclub, it was

more open-style format.

“I’ll bring in a couple of electronic dance DJs from time to time [EDM phenomenon Deadmau5 has performed there], but our general format 99 percent of the time is Top 40 commercial,” says Weiss. “The reason we chose to go in that direction is that most of the other clubs in Atlantic City are going after the same thing, and while we have a unique asset and a unique venue, we wanted to make sure to keep our music selection different and more open to different tastes.

“Since we’re such a big venue we want to attract the masses and not just a small population that likes a particular style of music.

That’s similar to our celebrity appearances and live performances — we provide something different that not a lot of other clubs in Atlantic City are doing.”

The Pool and its components recently underwent extensive renovations, including a two-phased overhaul of The Loft that created new bars indoors and on an outside deck, and added blackjack tables and a roulette wheel to the upstairs space. “[The Loft] is a little more of an upscale experience for couples and smaller groups that are not looking to be in the main party scene,” says Weiss. “With blackjack tables and now roulette it’s defined as a gaming space, but we also offer VIP bottle service up there and we have the outdoor area with cabanas and another bar where guests can also go outside to smoke.”

Management also converted an underutilized fitness area on the main floor into a space that can accommodate an additional 450 revelers, and the property partnered with Belviere Vodka to totally makeover all of The Pool’s furniture last summer. Also overhauled was the “step-and-repeat” — a meet-and-greet area where Pool guests can have their pictures taken with celebrity guests.

Typically The Pool charges a $10 cover every Wednesday and Friday night, and $20 on Saturday, and is open 10pm-4am each of those nights. The cover can increase depending on the event and the potential drawing power of the special guests. Pauly D (real name Paul DelVecchio of Rhode Island) best known as a cast member of the former MTV hit series Jersey Shore, always packs them in at The Pool. He returns Saturday, Sept.

14, and again Oct. 12. His contract was renewed for a second residency earlier this year by Harrah’s.

“I’m psyched to continue my residency at The Pool After Dark,” Pauly D said in a media release. “The past year has been an awesome ride and the party scene in A.C. is like no other. Jersey is like my second home.” ■

‘The Butler’ Did It

Lee Daniels film is mostly fiction, but the inspiration it generates is very real.

L

et’s get this out of the way. Lee Daniels’ The Butler, based on the life of real White House butler Eugene Allen, is a mostly fictional film that uses the life of a real man as a jumping off point to create a historical tapestry that covers many elements of life for black Americans — from the late 1920s through the election of Barack Obama.

If you’re interested in just the facts, read the original article on Mr. Allen from the 2008 Washington Post story titled “A Butler Well Served by This Election,” the inspiration for the film.

Now let’s talk about The Butler strictly as a movie — a dramatic, powerful, occasionally funny and inspiring movie. Forest Whitaker gives a brilliant performance in the title role, his character renamed Cecil Gaines. We first see Gaines as a child enduring the hardships of slave-like conditions on a cotton farm in 1926, and later as a teenager looking for a new life, Whitaker arrives in the role a few years before his character’s move to the White House working at a Washington, D.C. hotel.

Cecil’s biggest lesson is silence, both the actual silence of not saying anything or reacting to anything said by the white people that he serves, but the silence behind his eyes. To succeed in service, you can never let your true feelings break through your façade.

Once Cecil makes it to D.C. we are introduced to his wife, Gloria (Oprah Winfrey) and their two sons, the older of which, Lewis (David Oyelowo), finds himself in an ongoing conflict with his father over his dad’s life in service and his own ambitions to help accelerate the Civil Rights era as a Freedom Rider during the turbulent 1960s and beyond.

Director Daniels’ intent is clear. He wants to include as many issues of black life as possible. Because of his desire to create this huge canvas, his fictionalization of these

facebook.com/ACWeekly @acweekly

lives is occasionally overwrought in order to squeeze in a direct connection to 60 years of racial inequality. The truth of black life that he reveals by doing so more than makes up for the moments of melodrama.

What pleased me most about The Butler is that this African-American director wanted to tell the story strictly from the AfricanAmerican perspective. Too many films about Civil Rights issues featuring black protagonists have included white characters in central roles helping the black characters achieve their goals.

In The Butler, the presidents are the supporting players, filled by such major names as Robin Williams (Dwight Eisenhower); John Cusack (Richard Nixon, complete with fake nose); John F. Kennedy (James Marsden); Liev Schreiber (Lyndon B. Johnson), and Brit Alan Rickman as the all-American Ronald Reagan. Toss in Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan and you see Daniels’ wicked sense of humor in his presidential casting.

Winfrey is terrific as Cecil’s fierce and sometimes wayward wife, but it’s Whitaker’s steadfast performance as an ordinary man in extraordinary times that makes The Butler so special. Gaines comes to realize that he was short-changing himself by his devotion to duty. The election of Obama comes as a coda to his life as a black man in a world that changed so dramatically for African-Americans during his time working in the White House.

The Butler is emotionally engaging and truly inspirational. n

Will Toni Braxton Put the ‘Hurt’ on Atlantic City?

The singer returns to the stage after battling health issues as well as the release of a new single “Hurt You,” off her forthcoming album ‘Love, Marriage & Divorce.’ By Ed Condran • feedback@acweekly.com

I

“I’ve had my share of really good things happen to me,” Braxton says.

And then there is the bad. There are her health issues. Her failed marriage to musician Keri Lewis. Her bankruptcy filing.

Braxton bounced back, however, courtesy of her hit reality series, Braxton Family Values, which debuted in 2011 and continues to air on WE-tv. The focus is on Braxton and her sisters Towanda, Tamar, Trina and Traci, and their mother Evelyn.

“It’s been great having the show,” Braxton says. “I’m very close to my family. It’s been a wonderful experience.”

But Braxton is ultimately about music.

Her old friend and collaborator Babyface (aka Kenny Edmonds) convinced her to record and tour again.

“He said, ‘you got more singing to do,’” Braxton recalls. “It’s not time [for you to

retire]. So many other artists have been there [contemplating the end of their career as singer-songwriters] but you can’t let that stop you.”

Edmonds not only convinced Braxton to tour, but also to hit the studio. Thanks to her teaming up with him for the project, she’ll have an album of duets (titled Love, Marriage & Divorce) out this autumn. The first single, “Hurt You,” featuring a duet with Edmonds, debuted this past Monday.

Braxton’s last album was 2010’s Pulse.

“I feel great about the music,” she says.

“It’s the first time in my career I’m not thinking about if I’m going to have a No. 1 song. It’s weird to think like this because I know the business.”

Braxton isn’t worried about sales statistics; she’s just happy to be able to perform again.

“It’s about having fun and I want to have some fun.”

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • AUGUST 22 - 28, 2013

t’s not easy to take most recording artist’s “retirement” so seriously as most are about as sincere as an aging heavyweight fighter who announces his swan song bout only to climb back into the ring the following year.

But when Toni Braxton revealed that she was diagnosed with lupus in 2010, it was difficult to imagine her taking the stage again.

“The doctor said [I would] never be able to perform again,” Braxton tells Atlantic City Weekly.

But Braxton, 45, is on tour once more.

The sultry diva, who will perform Saturday (Aug. 24) at the Trump Taj Mahal, has somehow found the strength to hit the road again.

“We [will] see how far I can push my body,” Braxton says.

The R&B singer-pianist has had an extraordinary career with chart-topping singles (“You’re Makin’ Me High” and “Unbreak My Heart”), more than 66 million albums sold, six Grammys and seven American Music Awards.

“I never knew if I would ever be able to do this again,” Braxton says. “I’m so thankful.

It’s just an accomplishment for me to be able to perform. Now I know it’s about making music and enjoying myself. That’s all that matters. I’m really going to engage myself with the fans. I like audience participation. I want to see them dancing or getting romantic with their partners. It’s about having fun and I want to have some fun.”

Performance is a joy for Braxton who, thanks to experience, gets the big picture.

She had a life-changing moment in 1996.

After selling more than 20 million albums, she was waiting for checks, which failed to arrive. She sued her label at the time (Arista Records) and filed for bankruptcy. She lost many possessions, including her Grammys and American Music Awards.

“But life isn’t about things,” Braxton says.

“Life is much more than that.”

Braxton, who is one of the most charismatic and laid-back performers, can obviously handle most curves. Last week in New Brunswick, N.J., she continued to perform during a wardrobe malfunction that exposed her butt. But the show goes on for the star.

It doesn’t matter if there is a financial crisis or personal tumult or if a costume goes haywire.

“I love what I do,” Braxton says. “Singing and connecting with people in the audience is my passion. I’m fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to do so many different things.”

One of those things is Broadway. Braxton has appeared in two Broadway shows, including Beauty and the Beast, in which she played Belle. It was the first time an African-American woman starred in a Disney production on Broadway.

“Everything about that experience was amazing,” Braxton says. “There’s nothing like Broadway. It’s something that I’ll always remember.”

In February of 2000, Braxton performed along with Enrique Iglesias and Christina Aguilera at the Super Bowl halftime show.

“There’s nothing bigger than the Super Bowl,” Braxton says.

“Everything about the Super Bowl is fun and more people watch the Super Bowl than anything else on television.”

Braxton also enjoys her casino appearances, where she feels at home, following a two-year run at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.

“I had a great time in Las Vegas,” Braxton says. “Casinos are a great environment for a performer.” ■
