Curtis Jefferson

Baltimore Musician, Curtis Jefferson, son of a Piano Player & his mother a singer, is making his way to Casinos, Pubs & Entertainment Clubs in Atlantic City.

He is also working with an inner city theatre youth program called “Save the World Youth - Get Off the Street Project.”

Through his dream and passion for both music and acting, Curtis hopes to reach the hearts of people in all communities of the world. Through his journey, he hopes to see and learn more by taking an adventure through his arts and music, and what he had to do to challenge life.

“Without a Dream” by Curtis Without a Dream you couldn’t wonder Without a Dream you couldn’t see it done Without a Dream you couldn’t wish to some day be there Without a Dream you couldn’t try the unexpected or untried things to get done Without a dream you couldn’t take on an adventure or walk through something never done.

Excerpts from inside this issue & online at acweekly.com

QUOTABLES

“I think that the OUT in AC event will be only the tip of a very lucrative and socially significant iceberg, which will significantly help Atlantic City and other resort towns lay the foundation for an improved economy,” — p 36 “It’s hard to imagine what would have become of us if it weren’t for that album. All I know is that I would still love country.”

— p 37 “I would put this baseball team up against any other baseball team from any other baseball movie ever and we would kick their asses!”

Sunday’s ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Premiere Party With Martin Scorsese’s Emmy award for best director still fresh on everyone’s mind, be reminded that Caesars Atlantic City is hosting a free premiere screening for the second season of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire on Sunday, Sept. 25, inside Caesars’ Circus Maximus Theater. Doors for the event open at 8:45pm and the show starts 9pm sharp. The complimentary admission will be matched by free live entertainment by the Jersey Rhythm Devils, who will perform music from the 1920s, including songs played on the show, outside the theater before doors open. Special guests will include show stars (and New Jersey residents) Anthony Laciura (who plays eddie Kessler, right-hand-man to lead character Nucky thompson) and Adam mucci (a rutgers grad who plays Deputy Halloran), and Michael Stuhlbarg, a California native who plays famed gangster Arnold Rothstein. The series was renewed by HBO almost immediately after its 2010 premiere, when it garnered 4.8 million viewers in its debut (second most in HbO history).

Along with Scorsese’s win for best director, the show was nominated for a total of 18 Emmys, including best drama and best actor (for steve buscemi’s role as thompson). the day before the premiere (saturday, sept. 24, starting 1pm), the Jersey Rhythm Devils, the Jim Craine All-Star Band, and dancer Melanie Brough will perform “Music and Dance of the Roaring ‘20s” at Kennedy plaza on the Atlantic City boardwalk, across from boardwalk Hall.

Welcome the Season in Margate It’s become a signature event on Absecon Island as the margate Fall Funfest by the Bay will once again welcome the season this weekend, sept. 24-25. the outdoor festival fills up Amherst Avenue from Decatur to Coolidge aves. This will be the 11th annual offering of the Funfest and organizers say they continue to try and schedule events and activities to keep the festival fresh, calling it “six blocks of fun, food, music, games and great shopping.” The festival features 115 booths displaying the wares of 58 juried crafters. ray scott’s Dock, (Decatur and Amherst aves.) offers the display “Wetlands Wonderland” and 11 live bands performing on two stages, as well as strolling entertainers, are on tap for the two days. Bands include the bubba mac blues band saturday (3:45pm) and the Danny eyer band sunday (1:15pm). the U.s. Coast Guard will conduct sea rescue demonstrations at noon both days. Atlantic City’s own Kozak the magician performs at 1pm sunday and there’s also a popular pet show that day. The Atlantic City Police Department will also have a K-9 demonstration at 11:30am Sunday. The schedule is also packed with performances for kids and 18 food vendors will be on hand. Hey, when Margate says they’re having a Fun Fest, they aren’t kidding. see a full schedule at marvelousmargate.com.

Annie Clark, the clever, sensuous and risk-taking 32-year-old singer and songwriter who goes by St. Vincent, released her third album Sept. 13. Acclaimed by critics as all of her music has been, including her stints with Glen Branca, the Polyphonic Spree and Stufjan Stevens, Strange Mercy is a wild and eclectic ride through haunting yet beautiful melodies and sometimes very frightening imagery. Bjork fans and even Beth Orton fans will be in love with this album; its 11 tracks mix Clark’s gorgeous voice with an array of electronic soundscapes. The album’s first single, “Cruel,” is already making big waves in certain music circles and a recent interview with Clark on NPR revealed the Texas-born artist to be a very mature, daring and passionate young artist. And one who’s star will continue to rise if her subsequent offerings are as fantastic as Strange Mercy.

Five comedians, all veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, will make the Comedy Stop Café their command post for a weekend-long series of shows. By Ray Schweibert

his weekend’s lineup at the the combat zones for their veteran brethren — and

trop’s Comedy stop Cafe features a group of five veterans — veterans from the standpoint of their respective skills as stand-up comedians and veterans for having all served in the u.s. armed Forces. it’s also a lineup that grew out of irony, for while the five are adept at cracking up crowds wherever they travel, the founder of the Gi’s of Comedy once lost his ability to laugh, and very nearly his life. u.s. army (R) staff sergeant thom tran got shot through the head four days after he and his unit were deployed to iraq in 2003. he survived his injuries and completed a 12-month tour of duty, but two weeks before returning he learned that his best friend had been killed. “after returning home i got diagnosed by the Va with a serious case of post-traumatic stress disorder, or ptsd,” says tran, 32, a retired eight-year army veteran. “i remember being about 25 and being unable to smile for about a year. One night my girlfriend had to take me to the hospital because my blood pressure went up to about 160 over 120, and the doctors at the Va told me i had to learn to relax or i’d have a heart attack before i’m 30. But i didn’t know how to relax. i stopped laughing and wasn’t enjoying the things i used to enjoy in my life. “i knew stand-up comedy was something i always loved. i remember watching [eddie Murphy’s] Delirious when i was a kid and not even knowing what a lot of what he was saying meant, but i just found his delivery so hilarious. so i started doing stand-up comedy, and it helped me focus on something other than the trauma.” tran’s sharp wit shines through in clips on his web site (thomtran.com), where he’ll not only deliver conventional jokes but sing satirical songs he penned while he plays guitar. “i actually grew up as a musician [in Buffalo, n.Y., relocating to los angeles in 2008], but before i joined the army at 18, i decided that if i wasn’t going to be eddie Van halen i should probably do something else with my life.” tran has a radio broadcasting background and was asked to perform stand-up at a usO benefit sponsored by the l.a. station (kRth 101.1 FM) he worked for. that led to other usO gigs, and friendships formed with other comedians who also happened to be military veterans. “as we kept doing these benefits i kept running into more and more guys who i found out were in the military, and some of them were hilarious,” says tran. “i remember thinking, ‘there’s never been a tour composed exclusively of veterans who were comedians.’ and i thought that if anybody’s going to be able relate to these kids who are living in these shitty conditions far from their home towns and fighting these wars, it’s going to be guys who have lived in those shitty conditions and fought these wars.” tran got in touch with four of the more blue-chip veterans/comedians he struck up friendships with — all of whom had returned individually to perform in Like us:

created what he called the Gi’s of Comedy tour. “the idea had been lingering in the back of my head for a while and earlier this year [april] we booked a show in the Jon lovitz Comedy Club here in los angeles and it sold out,” says tran. “i’d never produced a show before and it was huge — we had girls dressed up like 1940s Bob hope-esque dancers called the satin dolls singing the national anthem, we had the service flags and the american flag on stage, and it was amazing. the buzz we got was so big that we thought ‘we could really do this,’ and things just kept on rolling. we put together a tour.”

‘I started doing stand-up comedy, and it helped me focus on something other than the trauma.’

Bob kephart, owner of the atlantic City Comedy stop Café & Cabaret in the tropicana Quarter, saw an Associated Press article about the troupe and tracked down tran. “[kephart] said, ‘look, i want to get you guys into a.C. before this explodes,’” says tran. “he’s been in comedy for over three decades and knows his comedy, so we said sure.” the Gi’s of Comedy will be in town for seven scheduled shows Friday through sunday, sept.

23-25, before heading up to new York City for a week-long series of gigs. “it just so happened to work out that [the Gi’s] represent every branch of the military,” says tran. “tom irwin and i represent the army, will C represents the Marine Corps, Jose sarduy the air Force and G Reilly the navy.” they also happen to be from diversified ethnic backgrounds and ages ranging from 32 to 52. On his web site, tran is quoted as saying, “when we put this tour together it shocked me that, you know, there’s a black guy in the navy, a Cuban in the air Force, an asian in the army and a white guy in the Marine Corps,” says tran. “i was like, ‘all i need is a Muslim in the Coast Guard.’” n

GET GUAC’D BEFORE YOUR NIGHT OUT PRE-PARTY AT

here was still a month to

go before her first atlantic City performance in more than a decade, but Julie Budd was already in full worry mode. she was already fretting about everything: had she picked the right music? would her wardrobe be appropriate? who would be the stage manager? would the sound and lighting be perfect? Did she choose the right musicians. “i stay up nights worrying about stuff that most people would say, ‘Julie, just go to sleep,’” she says with a laugh. “But i get embarrassed if i’m not known for quality.” it’s that meticulous attention to detail — combined with a sparkling, disciplined and mesmerizing voice — that’s made Budd such an exceptionally gifted singer. once a casino showroom regular on the Boardwalk, Budd returns to atlantic City on saturday to headline the schultz-hill Foundation’s annual fundraising concert at resorts Casino hotel with a can’t-miss program titled Gershwin On the Boardwalk.

Budd will be performing the music of brothers Ira and George Gershwin, who teamed up to write the lyrics and music to song of the most memorable music during the first half of the 20th Century. although she was born and raised during the heart of the rock ‘n’ roll era, Budd is somewhat anachronistic when it comes to the music she loves to sing. ever since she burst onto the scene in the mid-1960s as a 12-year-old prodigy performing regularly on the Merv Griffin and Ed Sullivan television shows — where she was unfairly and inaccurately compared to Barbra Streisand — Budd has been embracing and performing songs that pre-dated her arrival on the planet. except for a brief detour to explore modern music in the 1970s, the Brooklyn native has almost single-handedly been keeping great music alive. “i feel like i’m sort of carrying the torch for the new generation of Gershwin torchcarriers,” she says during a long chat from her manhattan home.

Budd, whose musical arsenal contains a treasure trove of charts from the Great American Songbook, has spent the last several years touring the country and performing with symphonies and pops orchestras. she’s been encouraged by the number of younger people she sees in the audience and hopes they’ll continue to embrace music from an era when the world spun a little slower and records —remember records? — spun a lot faster. “i’ve been doing a lot of performing arts centers and i’ve noticed parents are schlepping their kids along the way our parents used to take us to a Broadway show when we were little to give us a little culture,”

Budd reflects. “i was kind of worried that this generation wouldn’t enjoy it, but it’s just the contrary. they’re looking at [the music] like it’s a very grand experience. it’s different [music] for them, and they seem to love it. so there’s hope.”

Budd admitted there was a time in her career when she strayed from her familiar music path and tried something a little out of her comfort zone. in 1976, she recorded a disco version of the old Carole KingGerry Goffin hit “one Fine Day.” “a lot of people were out there chasing the market, and for a very short period of time, i did the same thing,” she recalled. “i went out there and i thought, ‘i’m going to go and have this big hit record.’”

But she wasn’t comfortable with the music, and when she took stock of her career, she quickly realized it was time to get back to basics. “at some point, you have to ask yourself, ‘what do i really do well?’” she said. and so she went back to the music of the Gershwins and Cole Porter and Irving Berlin and her longtime friend, Marvin Hamlisch, with whom she occasionally performs during her symphony dates. that moment in her career made her realize that she didn’t want to make a quick buck recording popular tunes out of her musical zone. “i’m in show business since i’m 12-yearsold,” she says. “i’m in it for the long haul.” she’s grateful her fans have stayed loyal to her over the years and that she’s been able to develop new admirers along the way. she understands that she doesn’t play 20,000-seat arenas and that her occasional albums don’t reach platinum status, and she seems comfortable with that. and she takes immense pride knowing she’s survived for more than 40 years in a business that often doesn’t give artists more than 40 minutes. and, while she probably wouldn’t want schultz-hill founders and philanthropists John Schultz and Gary Hill to read this, money is not a primary motivator for Budd. “i love my work, i love what i do,” she says. “Don’t get me wrong, i like to make money and i like [buying] nice things. But i would still do this even if they didn’t pay me.” n

here’s a strange feeling that sets over the field at the beginning of a major poker championship when cards are finally in the air.

Call it a feeling out process, early-round caution or just nerves, but there’s an unusual quiet that descends on the room, leaving the clinking of chips as the only real sound.

Monday was Day 1B, or the second of two opening days at the Borgata Open Championship event, and as expected, the casino has set another record for attendance at a World Poker tour event.

Officially, 1,313 players turned out for the championship easily beating last year’s record (also set at the Borgata Open Championship) of 1,042.

Of course, that’s a little deceiving as the casino instituted its popular Double Play feature for this year’s championship event.

Basically, a player that washed out on the first opening day sunday (Day 1a), could buy in again on Day 1B (Monday).

More than a few players took advantage, meaning they were counted twice. still, that also means they paid twice (in this case $3,300) so the prize pool can’t tell the difference. the total buy-in for the event is $4,332,900. even subtracting a three-percent dealer toke charge (about $144K), that easily covers the tournament’s $3 million prize pool guarantee.

But whether players had turned out sunday or not, there where still better than 850 players in the Borgata’s big event Center for Monday’s play. and you could tell by looking at player’s faces that it was a little intimidating when play began. to cash in the event was going to require a long haul to say the least. even with $30,000 chip stacks, (which is really a Deepstack for tournament play), caution was in the air during the early rounds.

Making matters worse, there was a good sprinkling of pros in the room. among them was Jeff Madsen, who would eventually be the chip leader for the day and second overall for the two opening days. Madsen won the 2010 Borgata Winter Open for $625,000, so he’s pretty comfortable at the casino. two former Borgata Open champs were also there — Dwyte Pilgrim, last year’s winner, and Olivier Busquet, the 2009 champ.

Both had played sunday and busted out, but here they were back again. they would both bust out again Monday, but nobody knew that at the start of play.

in fact, between the two opening days, the amount of experienced pros in the field was impressive. sunday’s pros included Vanessa selbst, who ended up fourth overall in chips after the two opening days and Will “the thrill” failla, who won more than $750K at the WPt’s legends of Poker Main event last month, the first WPt event of the season. failla is a regular at Borgata events and was a chip leader after Day 1.

Other pros included roy Winston (the 2007 Borgata Open Champ), gordon eng, Chris Bell, steve Dannenman, Kathy liebert, and John racener, who finished second at the World series Main event this year winning over $5.5 million.

By the way, racener already has a thirdplace finish and a $34K cash at this year’s open. still, not every player was intimidated by the field. sunday, for example, pro Maria ho, who had a $500K cash at this year’s WsOP, even got in an argument after an amateur sent her to the rail and dissed her play. ho had the last laugh, however, re-buying on Monday and making it to day two with $108,000 in chips.

Watching the first round, however, you realize just how impressive these deep tournaments are. the Borgata has consistently set itself apart from other WPt events with these deep, experienced fields.

Play is expected to last through thursday (sept. 22), with a final six showing down for tV cameras on friday. that means the eventual winner will play four full days, from 11am to about 10pm and then the final table. so maybe that early caution is better described as patience. lots and lots of patience. in some other news, the Caesars Combined Bad-Beat jackpot hit again Monday (sept. 19) at showboat for $154,280 at 7pm. that’s the third time it’s hit this month and the fifth time the jackpot hit since early august. again, a player who wishes to remain anonymous won the jackpot when his quad queens lost to quad kings. he wins $46,746, the hand winner gets $31,318 and 130 players in the four Caesars rooms (harrah’s, Caesars, Bally’s, showboat) get $462 each. n To keep up to date on Atlantic City poker news and bad beat totals visit Atlantic City Weekly’s poker blog, “The Real Deal” at acweekly.com/ poker.

t only makes sense that several of chef michael mina’s restaurant properties — most notably seaBlue at the Borgata here in atlantic City and stripsteak in las Vegas’ mandalay Bay — are located within sprawling casino complexes.

Because if there is any culinary figure of that stature more willing, even comfortable, taking risks with his cuisine, we don’t know of them. nowhere did this prove to be more aptly demonstrated than a wine dinner event hosted personally by mina last weekend at seaBlue. his physical attributes — tall and dark with more than a smidgen of George Clooney — contribute to create a charismatic persona, too. this evening, formally titled “an intimate dinner with michael mina and wine director Rajat Parr” began with napa’s Iron horse vineyards’ Cuvee michael mina sparkling wine and passed hors d’oeuvres. you know you have officially arrived in the world when a wine maker — especially one as prestigious as Iron horse — creates a proprietary blend in your honor. Bright and light, with vanilla and pear essences, this blanc de blanc — meaning it is crafted strictly from Chardonnay — proved to be an ideal palate opener. our first plate of the evening, like everything on the menu, was locally sourced. marinated scallops from Viking Village brought thinly sliced discs of pure protein.

mina being a risk-taker? this roasted squab duo nicely took the place of a traditional meat course. squab, for those unfamiliar, is young pigeon. two thick slices of deep red breast meat adorned the right half of the plate. a tiny, absolutely delightful drumstick was positioned to the left. Chanterelles, foie gras, almonds and pickled rhubarb all played stellar supporting roles.

In particular, the tiny stalks of rhubarb, a most underutilized ingredient, stood out. their vinegary nature played with the rich, red meat like long-lost childhood friends. the night’s only red wine, Domaine Jean Grivot Vosen-Romanee, was another fine choice for this unusual, gutsy selection. like those earlier tomatoes, a honey roasted peach dessert reminded that summer’s bounty is nowhere near finished. striped with blueberry compote and sorbet, the fruit was intense, as often happens with the later harvests of a season. Crushed pistachios — roasted, we’d wager — added another level of depth to the dish, along with crunch. a deeply golden dessert wine, Domaine Cazes Rivesaltes ambre, from France’s southern languedoc-Roussillon region, lingered nicely on our palates. It served as a final, lingering reminder of what immense sensory pleasure awaits when a chef of mina’s caliber steps forward to roll the dice. n

OUT-Rageous

Now in its third year, Caesars Entertainment’s weekend-long OUT in AC series will be hosted by dazzling Las Vegas drag queen Frank Marino. By Ray Schweibert

s e p t e m b e r 2 2 , 2 0 1 1 • A T L A N T I C C I T Y W EE K L Y

aesars Entertainment has again assembled a weekend full of fun events focused on Atlantic City’s gay community. It starts Friday night, Sept. 23, with a four-course dinner party at House of Blues’ Foundation Room featuring the Hearty Boys — a gay couple who host a cooking show on the Food Network — and several other segments served up in a festive atmosphere and hosted by famed Las Vegas drag queen Frank Marino.

This is the third annual OUT In AC event put on by Caesars Entertainment (an organization that regularly receives high commendation from the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index), and one of many GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) events to materialize on the Atlantic City landscape in recent years.

Among them are the revival of the popular female impersonator show Miss’d America and Resorts’ presentation of Believe — Divas in a Man’s World, the return of the pioneering gay bar Brass Rail and the establishment of the first-ever full-time gay bar inside an Atlantic City casino (Prohibition at Resorts), and other OUT in AC events hosted by establishments like The Chelsea hotel, Absecon Lighthouse, Ram’s Head Inn and others.

Feedback from gay advocate groups and organizations has been overwhelmingly positive regarding this trend. Atlantic City once had a flourishing gay social scene that slowly disappeared when casinos moved in and land values soared, but that inclination was all-encompassing, and not necessarily one targeting a particular sector of the population or another. Nonetheless those overseeing gay-advocacy groups like the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, GABLES of Cape May County and the South Jersey AIDS Alliance see the strong return of gay-oriented activity as a longoverdue boon to a resort community that sorely needs it.

“One only needs to look as far as today’s headlines reporting the lifting of the ban on gays in the military to see [GLBT inclusion] into a position in the wider community,” says Keith Egan, president/CEO of the South Jersey AIDS Alliance, based in Atlantic City. “The gay community offers a population that the casinos have identified as a potential source of revived income.”

As a demographic, gay couples tend to have more disposable income than heterosexual couples since there are often two Like us:

Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker fronted one of the best-known pop-rock bands of the 1990s, but the South Carolina-born singer has taken a turn toward country. By Ed Condran and some rootsy rock thrown in for good as country tunes. “that’s the way I see it as well,” Rucker measure. Rucker tosses in some big hooks. says. “Our album Cracked Rear View could If the songs were rearranged, some of the have been a country disc but it worked out tunes, such as “all I Want” and the title track, would not sound out of place on well as a pop-rock album.”

Indeed. Rucker can’t complain about Cracked Rear View. “that’s probably so,” Rucker says. “But I Cracked Rear View, which has sold more than 16 million copies. the disc, which do write a certain way and I do sing a cerput hootie and the Blowfish on the map, is one of the most popular albums of the last 16 years.

“It’s hard to imagine what would have become of us if it weren’t for that album,” Rucker says. “all I know is that I would still love country.” the country music bug bit Rucker, 45, during the ’80s after falling under the spell of Radney Foster, dwight Yoakam and Lyle Lovett.

A capacity crowd will hear Rucker at Caesars “all of those guys are such great songwriters,” Rucker says. “I couldn’t help but love what tain way. But I have to say that my life is a they did. I knew that I would make a coun- little different than it once was.”

Indeed, fatherhood may have changed try record someday.”

Rucker finally crafted his country debut Rucker as a recording artist. the poignant in 2007, Learn to Live, which dropped in “It Won’t be Like this For Long” was 2008, comprised of contemporary country inspired by his 15-year old teenage daugh-

ter and his eight-year old son moved Rucker to write “Learn to Live.”

“My children have had a huge effect on me,” Rucker said. “everything in my life is about them. It’s even crossed over into my songs.”

Rucker, who is slated to perform saturday at caesars circus Maximus theater, will showcase Learn to Live and cuts from his latest album, Charleston, SC 1966, which was released last October. the disc title, which is where and when Rucker was born, isn’t far removed from his solo debut.

Rucker stays in his comfort zone by delivering warm, mellow and sentimental songs.

“I guess I write a certain way,” Rucker says. ”I guess that’s true of most singersongwriters. I do try to remain true to myself.

“It’s been great that things have gone so well for me. I’m singing songs in the style I love and fans are responding. I couldn’t ask for anything more.” hootie and the Blowfish remains an entity. the group is on the backburner while Rucker establishes himself as a country singer.

“I’m fortunate that I’ve had the best of both worlds,” Rucker says. “I can’t tell you how rewarding this has all been. to be able to have all that success with my band and then go out and experience this as a solo artist is incredible.” expect Rucker to be around for the long haul. “this is my life’s work,” Rucker said.

“I want to continue doing this as long as I can. It’s incredibly gratifying to make music, go on tour and see the fans. I’ve been so lucky. It’s something that I really appreciate.” n

uccess hasn’t changed darius Rucker. the laidback singersongwriter remains a friendly, easy-going musician, and is just as affable as he was back when he was an unknown songsmith having just recorded what would become the blockbuster debut album Cracked Rear View by pop-rock band hootie and the Blowfish in 1995.

While plugging a show in Philadelphia during the clinton era, the playful Rucker asked about meeting for a basketball game at a local Y prior to the show. “If you and your friends want to play us [hootie and the Blowfish], that would be cool,” Rucker said. We would be up for that.”

Few bands would want to hit the hardwood during a grueling tour after slipping out of the cramped confines of a van. But Rucker was up for such a contest. don’t blame him if he’s not up for a game of round ball 16 years later, though.

Rucker has more on his mind these days. the father of three, who sold millions of albums with university of south carolinaspawned hootie and Blowfish, now has a solid career as a country artist. “things are different for me than it was back then,” Rucker tells Atlantic City Weekly. “I didn’t have as many things to think about. But it’s good. You get older, you get more responsibility and that’s fine.

You make changes when you get older.”

One of the changes Rucker has made is going country. It sounds like a surprising move but it isn’t. If you listen to some of the hootie and the Blowfish pop hits, such as “Let her cry” or “I Only Wanna Be With You,” you can imagine the cuts, with some rearrangement and instrumental changes,

In the fall of 1971, I was headed for the first step in my journey to adulthood — a naïve, barely 18-yearold college freshman who was part of a grand new experiment in education, stockton College. Forged in the idealism of the 1960s, the liberal arts college was offering a blend of traditional and alternative education in an idyllic setting at a pristine wooded area in pomona. However, that first semester, the brand new college campus was not finished and the first stockton students, about 1,000 of us, had our initial taste of college life at a musty, worn out hotel on the Atlantic City boardwalk: the mayflower.

It was not exactly how one imagines college life, but by January the campus was finished and the years that followed featured an education that has served me well in my career, as it has for Atlantic City Weekly’s publisher, Lew steiner, a fellow member of the original class. We both worked at the college newspaper, The Argo, a foundation that shifted to the pages of the paper steiner started in 1974, The Whoot!, which continues to thrive today as Atlantic City Weekly.

From those modest beginnings, stockton College

How to Catch Deadmau5 Borgata hotel Casino and Spa will present deadmau5 — pronounced, dead mouse — a world-renowned electronic music producer and performer. deadmau5, a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman, launched his massive north american tour called “Meowingtons hax” in august at Lollapalooza in Chicago, where he was an official 20th anniversary festival headliner along with eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Muse and My Morning Jacket. his tour — which features all brand-new production — will take deadmau5 deep into the fall to many other major amphitheaters and venues throughout the united States and Canada.

Below are a few things you might not know about the man behind the mouse or, rather, mau5.

But to say you become this massive up-on-a-podium performer by playing other people’s productions at the same speed as someone else’s productions and fading between the two of them, I don’t get it.” after apologizing for the rant, deadmau5 said, “I don’t consider my career to be about ‘being a dJ.’ I don’t have dJ roots, I never

Mau5 Head deadmau5 is known for wearing his iconic mouse head during performances, which obscures his face, and he mouths the lyrics to his songs. Last month, deadmau5 held a competition, encouraging all fine-arts majors, street artists, graphic designers and illustrators to submit their most creative and unique mouse head designs for the chance to have it produced as the next deadmau5 head. the project reached 15,623,889 people and the average participating artist gained 29 new supporters, 55 social media shares and 7,851 social media comments. the winning design by Lance thackeray, whose submission featured Swiss-cheeselooking mouse ears, received over 48,000 views on talenthouse.com.

“I’ve always been a fan of his classic heads without all the bells and whistles, so I’m taking it back to lightweight basics,” writes thackary on the talenthouse.com site. “I’ve had the idea for cheese ears for a while now. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t made an appearance yet in some form or another.” thackary suggested in his submission that the mouse ears be made out of real cheese, however this was “optional.” n

Hoops for a ‘Just Cause’

By Raymond Tyler

S

ummer in new York maY mean “rucker Basketball” — a name derived from rucker Park, n.Y., where many future nBa stars honed their skills on the blacktop. Here in atlantic City, organizers of the “Just Cause Celebrity Basketball Game” hope that their celebrity hoops game will become an annual “Fall Classic.”

The game (which will include atlantic City Councilman Frank Gilliam) is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24, at the atlantic City High School gym. The organizers are planning a kiddie camp with several nBa and former nBa players Saturday at 11am, and the game will start around 2pm. organizers say the goal of the game is to bring activism and community together in atlantic City. nBa players and former players scheduled to play include Joakim noah, Steve Francis and Loran Profit. on the music/entertainment side, hip-hop artists Jada Kiss and Wacka Flocka will be displaying their basketball skills. Fans of The HBo show The Wire can come out to see J.D. williams and Jullito mcCullum. no word just yet on what charities the money raised will be going to, however i do like that this event will bring a great afternoon of fun to the area, and that the kids who attend will remember the game for the rest of their lives. i remember when i was a teenager the Sixers and the nets played pre-season games at Boardwalk Hall (circa 1982 and 1983, i believe). The fact that the tradition has been revived can mean nothing but good things. i also am encouraged about this game because this event will bring to town some people working in the entertainment business that you may never see on stage. our young people need to see and interact with people who work in public relations, who have radio shows and newspaper columns and do everything from picking out celebrity clothes and scheduling appointments. i wish more local african-americans, Latinos and other minorities didn’t have to leave town for opportunities. in my opinion, this hinges on three key factors.

1. The owners of most of the media outlets here in southern new Jersey Like us:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

(radio, TV, newspapers) still seem to act extra careful and not very open-minded in their dealings with minorities. while i have a radio show and a newspaper column, i make no qualms about the fact that i had to fight extra hard to make my own opportunities. i also established myself with the media in new York City and Philadelphia before i finally made any kind of hometown breakthrough. i am also still fighting to help get more people of color and minorities in media positions in the area.

2. often people of color here in southern new Jersey simply do not step up to the plate and make opportunities for themselves or their children. i worked for a year in newark and while there i never saw people so quick to make a physical appearance at a school board meeting, town hall, a newspaper building, a radio station — voicing their opinions on certain issues. if you don’t stand up for your rights and let your voices be heard, the owners of media have little to no priority to change anything.

3. The most important fact, as i see it, is that with 21st century technology, the media is open to everyone. i hear people who have the intelligence and the resources to start their own newspaper, online radio station or other media outlet complain about radio and newspaper access all the time. The question is “will anyone support it?” *** On The Radio a shout out to my newest co-radio personality of color, Brian Little. we grew up together around maryland avenue. Little went on to play football at Holy Spirit High School (after starring for the a.C. Dolphins youth team). Little now co-hosts a new sports show on wonD every monday through Thursday starting 6:30pm. i am very proud of him.

First Projections artists old and new, i want to invite you to join me at the newly launched “mental Projections” every Friday at 9pm at redding’s restaurant (kentucky avenue in a.C.) for a great time. Joining me as hosts will be David T. Harris and Cheryl Sellers. on stage we will bring the best music and performance art, and everyone will be enjoying great food from redding’s. n

rad Pitt made his first triP teams. We take losses personally.” director miller declares that baseball to the toronto international film festival in 1992 for A River Runs is a special game, “Because there is no Through It as a young actor who was clock in baseball. it’s not over until it’s overshadowed by the star power of his over. it’s like life in that there are prolonged moments of boredom punctudirector that year, robert redford.

Now 47, Pitt was the main attrac- ated by extreme excitement. there is so tion of the media frenzy — along with much going on from pitch to pitch.” actor Chris Pratt, who co-stars in the George Clooney — at this year’s film festival. Pitt was in toronto to promote tV series Parks and Recreation, plays steve hatteberg in Moneyball, a washed his latest film, Moneyball. the movie is about Billy Beane, the up catcher who was given a second Oakland a’s Gm who didn’t have a chance as a first baseman by Beane.

Pratt found the whole experience of Yankee-sized payroll and had to use a new mathematical formula to field a working on Moneyball inspiring, but competitive baseball team in a small was especially proud of the skills of the market. Beyond his own ambitions team assembled to make Moneyball’s as a general manager trying to field a baseball sequences authentic. “i was competitive team, Beane was driven by inspired by hanging out with real basehis own failure as a player, to the point ball players. every baseball player [in that he couldn’t bring himself to watch the movie] apart from myself did play his team in person for fear of jinxing them. directed by Bennett miller (Capote), with a script by Oscar winners steven Zaillion and aaron sorkin, based on the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by michael Lewis, the movie is sharp and surprisingly funny as it depicts the clash between old school evaluations of Pitt goes to the baseball field for his current film minor league talent and the new stats and math formulas that were designed by Yale in the pros on a minor or major league level. i would put this baseball team graduate Peter Brand (Jonah hill).

On what attracted him to the project, up against any other baseball team Pitt says, “By necessity, these guys were from any other baseball movie ever trapped in an unfair game. they had to and we would kick their asses! to hang come up with something different. at out with these players inspired me to the end of the day, it is a story about become a bigger fan of baseball and our values, how we value other people, join a softball league.” miller sums up baseball and his what we value as success, what we movie by declaring that, “there is a value as failure.” and asked about his favorite sports romantic side to this game and a scimovie of all time, Pitt explains, “as entific side. it is also a game that has a kid i loved The Bad News Bears — more superstition then any sport ever.

Bennett and i talked a lot about that. inexplicable things do happen in this i loved North Dallas Forty with Nick game. it is the most studied game. it’s Nolte. that was the first r-rated movie got more science and math and more i saw so it has a special place. sports Phds study it than any other game. i films work on some level at overcoming also think it defies understanding. Just adversity. it’s something in our dNa, when you think you’ve got it in your we want to love our sports heroes, our grip, it defies you.” n
