Patient Party

“Someday is today,” The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society suggests on its website (lls.org), where it profiles blood cancer survivors who are now living “normal, productive lives” thanks to the contributions made to the voluntary health agency by generous donors around the world since its founding in White Plains, New York in 1949. Local volunteers for the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the LLS will host a Cocktails for the Cure happy hour at The Radission Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton on Thursday, Feb. 26 from 5 to 7 p.m. The event will recognize 2015 Honored Hero, Bill Bochicchio, and includes appetizers and a cash bar and entertainment by EJ the DJ (pictured above) as well as 50/50 raffles and a silent auction. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. Proceeds benefit regional patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease or myeloma.

Hudson Honeymooners

“Blue collar blues man” Andy Stack was about to give up on the Big Apple grind and move to New Orleans when he met Avett Brothers fiddle player Tania Elizabeth at a friend’s gig. Two months later, they were playing together as The Stacks. Within five more months they were married. The duo discovered drummer Lee Falco and bassist Brandon Morrison at Levon Helm’s barn after moving to Hudson, New York. Buffalo Stack’s self-titled album was released in August and has been praised by Planet Stereo for its “soulful” and “melodic” gospel flavoured blues and vulnerable, poetic lyrics. This Friday, Feb. 27, they’ll play at the Sarah Street Grill in Stroudsburg. Visit buffalostack.com for more information or call the venue at (570) 424-9120. —ag

CURTAIN CALL SCRANToN pRepAReS To LeT ITS fIRST fRINge fLAg fLy ThIS oCTobeR

his winter welcomed a respectable number of plays to regional stages considering the hit taken by our theatre scene in this last decade of recession. Yet, if you listen closely you’ll hear a restlessness murmuring along the cultural grapevine, a sort of artistic dissatisfaction which is less a disapproval of any specific work seen than it is a nebulous longing for something more, something else, maybe even something spectacular and unprecedented that will alleviate our collective crisis of dramatic faith. If this spring and summer fail to come through with that wow we need to grease our inspiration gears, that something we’re searching for could arrive with the inaugural Scranton Fringe Festival Oct. 1-4. Fashioned after the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival founded in Scotland in 1947, fringe festivals are now held on five continents in unconventional venues, generally showcasing experimental new scripts or adaptations of more obscure and unusual material. There’s hardly a mainstream scene in Scranton but that’s no reason for the Electric City not to fringe out. We decided to speak with founder/executive director Conor O’Brien about the initiative now while there’s still a chance for you to apply with your dream project. Applications close April 10. Twenty-two submissions had already been

received by mid-February. Half were local, while others arrived from nearby Rochester, NY to as far as away Dallas, Texas. Scranton Fringe is scheduled to run Oct. 1-4 to fill a perceived gap left by the former Pages and Places literary festival and because the weather in the 570 is traditionally gorgeous in early fall. Organizers also looked at the East Coast fringe calendar. The Philadelphia Fringe Festival runs 18 days each September (fringearts.com) and New Orleans Fringe is held in November (nofringe.org.) The New York International Fringe Festival is held in the summer (fringenyc.org) while the FRIGID Festival is offered in the winter (horsetrade.info.) “It sounds almost silly to (refer to) the ‘fringe circuit,’ but when I was in Kansas City, several performers who gave me their postcards listed Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago. They literally planned out a circuit. St. Louis also has a fringe now, which is doing very well,” O’Brien said. He was directly involved in two different fringe festivals last year including the first ever fringe held in Pittsburgh in May 2014 where he presented The Darling Core, cowritten with co-star Simone Daniel. That play would later be staged in Scranton and, this April, will travel to Chelsea in Manhattan. His play Prophecy of the Teen Sleuth featuring actors Casey Thomas and Jessica

Jessica McDonough and Conor o’brien of Scranton perform in Prophecy of the Teen Sleuth at KC fringe in Kansas City, Missouri in July.

McDonough was presented at the KC Fringe in Kansas City, Missouri (a 17-hour drive from Scranton) in July. Through those experiences, O’Brien made several useful contacts and is now part of a group of fringe festival managers and directors. He didn’t initially think he was going to have the time to bring a fringe scene to Scranton but then The Vintage Theatre closed, opening his schedule. Notably ambitious, Scranton Fringe is going to try to accommodate every application it receives. “We’ve made it our goal for our first year to strive to accept every one. There are no application fees, no production fees. There is a jury but it is a very limited jury process. Mainly it comes down to logistics and performance readiness. It’s not that we’re trying to turn away first time producers — I don’t care if it’s a bake sale, have you demonstrated any ability to set a goal and accomplish it?” One submission from an circus act, for example, requires high ceilings that can hold aerial silks. O’Brien is optimistic a suitable venue can be secured. He anticipates six venues to participate in all. A few applicants have had to be told that the Fringe is not a developer of work, acting as a presenter rather than a producer. “We’re going to publish the Fringe guide with a map and schedule and help with marketing, but playwrights have to secure their own directors, their own cast. You have to bring a finished product and we’ll give you a space and one tech operator and box office staff and that’s it.” Each show, he said, can expect two to four performance slots. Those interested in applying can review requested project parameters online at scrantonfringe.org/apply. “This is something that every fringe festival director from Kansas City to St. Louis to Pittsburgh to Philadelphia [has learned] — never, ever think you are going to have to stop educating your public on a what a fringe festival is,” he said. “Whether you’re in your first year or your 10th year ... I’m sure there are people in Edinburgh who are still learning.” Although visual and literary art components are often incorporated, fringe festivals are primarily performing arts-based and are fundamentally uncensored, easy to be a part of both as an artist

and as a patron and run the gambit of genres and styles, he said. “Puppet shows are accepted. Dark gritty dramas, burlesques, storytelling — all is welcome on the fringe.” Box office proceeds will be split down the middle between Scranton Fringe and individual show producers. Out-of-town artists will be given the option of housing in the private homes of supporters and donors, according to the model of many fringe festivals. “In a perfect world it is going to be 67 to 70 degrees. There will be no rain. We’re hoping to structure some sort of busking system. I want to see patrons walking, wearing whatever the hell they want to wear, really getting into the spirit of fringe. Our goal is to have late, late night spots every night of The Fringe and having things going on from bands to burlesque, and really see a community build,” he said. “Very often when we bring in artists from outside the area it’s the wise sage or snake oil salesman coming into the little rinky-dink Little House on the Prairie town — but I think this will be nice because this is our home turf. These artists are choosing to be here, and it’s not that we have an attitude about it, but yes, Scranton does have good things going on.”

SOUNDS

STILL GOOD … AND LOUD

THE MUFFS — Whoop De Doo THE GOOD: California pop/punk trio The Muffs finally crank it up again. THE BAD: Nothing! THE NITTY GRITTY: Whoop De Doo is their first record in a decade (sixth overall) and not a damn thing has changed since the band’s first outing 22 years ago. Normally that would be a bad thing, but in The Muffs’ case, “Why mess with perfection?” Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Kim Shattuck remains the brains behind this operation, even producing and engineering this time. Past fans know exactly what to expect — three-minute, to-the-point, heavy pop tunes revolving around Shattuck’s raspy-yet-inviting vocal delivery, jagged riffs and grounded backbeats. Songs like “Paint by Numbers” and “Like You Don’t See Me” immediately go for the throat before heading upward to permanently lodge themselves in your grey matter. The murky sway carrying “Up And Down Around” and the gooey sentiments behind “Forever” may be more heartfelt, but that tough exterior remains intact. BUY IT?: Yep. Whoop De Doo reminds us how much we missed this band!

THURSTON MOORE — The Best Day THE GOOD: Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore issues his fourth solo record. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: Compared to his other solo outings, The Best Day sounds closest to an actual Sonic Youth album. It’s the first set he’s released since SY went on semi-permanent hiatus, so the collection doesn’t act as an experimental or acoustic outlet trying to distance itself from the core band’s style. The guitar tunings, instrumentation, textures and tempos are all very close to the Youth of 15 years ago. Steve Shelley plays drums, so technically HALF of SY are here anyway.

Songs run the gamut from extended steady jams (11-minute magnum opus “Forevermore”) to terse ragged rockers (blunt and violent “Detonation”). There’s also this undeniable feeling of exuberance running through some of the cuts. Moving on since his public divorce from bassist Kim Gordon, Moore now calls London home and the guy probably had a better time than usual making this album. BUY IT?: Definitely. JOYCE MANOR — Never Hungover Again THE GOOD: California pop/punk outfit Joyce Manor makes the jump to Epitaph Records and comes back with a tight infectious third. THE BAD: Ten songs make an album … but a total playing time of 19 minutes? Hungover is a DEFINITE case of quality over quantity. THE NITTY GRITTY: And practically every song here leaves you begging for more. The record touches upon every pop/punk lyrical cliché out there, from the emotional break-up song (“Christmas Card”) to the parental tirade (“Heated Swimming Pool”). Musically, it’s all sing-song melodies and crunchy guitars; indie rock battling it out with echoes of emo. Vocalist Barry Johnson plays the part of tortured suburban geek with great relish …and punch. Yeah, we’ve been to this party before. But the guys manage to make it all so satisfying again and again, always in about 100 seconds time. We feel the boys’ pain and we enjoy their small triumphs while those glorious hooks put an immediate stranglehold on our gray matter. BUY IT?: Yep.

Justin Townes Earle

Singer-Songwriter Justin Townes Earle to play beneath the chandelier Justin Townes Earle visits the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the “Live from the Chandelier Lobby” concert series. Earle will be joined by fellow songwriter, Gill Landry, a member of Grammy Award-winning bluegrass outfit Old Crow Medicine Show. Justin Townes Earle, son of country rocker Steve Earle and godson of the late Townes Van Zandt, is out in support of two new records — Single Mothers, released in Sept. of 2014 and Absent Fathers, which was released earlier in 2015. These two albums mark Earle’s first recordings on the Vagrant Records label, after he released his first five albums on Bloodshot Records. Earle first garnered recognition with 2010’s Harlem River Blues, which peaked at No. 18 on the U.S. rock charts and No. 3 on folk charts. He kept the momentum going with 2012’s Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now. Earle has toured constantly, including performances at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest, the Grand Ole Opry, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Bumbershoot, as well as an appearance on A Prairie Home Companion. Additionally, Earle won Best New and Emerging Artist at the 2009

Americana Music Awards and was named by GQ as one of The 25 Most Stylish Men in the World in 2010. He has also appeared on HBO’s Treme with his dad, Steve Earle, on whose Grammy Awardwinning record Townes, JTE also guested and on Late Show with David Letterman (with Jason Isbell on guitar for “Harlem River Blues”). With inspirations as diverse as Townes Van Zandt, Jimmy Reed, Kurt Cobain, The Replacements, Mance Lipscomb, Ray Charles and The Pogues, Earle aims to create his own brand of American roots music. Going through life with a namesake of Van Zandt’s stature hasn’t been the easiest for the songwriter, but Earle takes it in stride, saying, “Anyone who tries to live up to Van Zandt is a fool. I’m honored to carry the name, but if I spent my life trying to live up to it, I’d have a pretty miserable life.” Gill Landry is set to celebrate the arrival of his new self-titled record this Tuesday, March 3. Landry’s career as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriting member of Old Crow Medicine Show includes a 2015 Grammy Award, a recent induction into the Grand Ole Opry, performances on A Prairie Home Companion and Austin City Limits and world tours with featured stops at major fes-

tivals including Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Coachella and the Newport Folk Festival. Contributors on the new 10-track album include various friends and musicians Landry gathered on his non-stop travels alone and with Old Crow, including songstress Laura Marling, singer-songwriter and guitarist Robert Ellis, trumpeter Nick Etwell of Mumford and Sons and Odessa Jorgensen on harmonies and the fiddle. “These songs are my attempt at transcending the more classic type of broken-hearted love song I’d been writing for years where there was an obvious victim,” Landry explained in a recent statement. “I tried to not come at it from the point of how things could have/should have been or should be, but searching for a sweet, understanding surrender to what is or was, and moving forward with compassion and kindness without harsh judgment to the reasons for this crime or that misstep.” Tickets can be purchased at the Kirby Center Box Office, by phone at (570) 826-1100 and online at kirbycenter.org. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the show, plus fees. — tg

Rak reportedly stole the prop scissors from Flanagan’s SUV, along with other items, including a small souvenir baseball bat, which he smashed against the ground outside Flanagan’s apartment while stating he was going to “kill the mayor.” Flanagan, who was ousted from office by a recall election in December, confronted Rak, who said, “I’m going to kill you.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

Focus Will Smith, Margot Robbie In this R-rated crime-drama, an accomplished femme fatale (Robbie) throws a veteran con man’s (Smith) latest scheme for a loop. The Plus: The players. Once one of the most bankable stars in the world, Will Smith boasts quite the CV: Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black, Enemy of the State, Men in Black II, Ali, Bad Boys II, I, Robot, Hitch, Hancock and The Pursuit of Happyness. Together with hot property Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, the forthcoming comic book adaptation Suicide Squad), the former Fresh Prince could certainly return to the top of the box office in this, the winter doldrums. The Minus: Star power. Notice the word ‘once.’ Men in Black 3 reestablished Smith as a box office hero … but it was a sequel to a lucrative franchise. The relative failure of After Earth, pretty much universally hated by critics AND moviegoers (Smith himself even took swipes at it recently), puts the fate of Focus up in the air.

The Lazarus Effect Olivia Wilde, Evan Peters Think: Flatliners for Dummies. In this PG13-rated thriller, a group of medical students (Wilde, Peters, Donald Glover, Mark Duplass) discover a way to bring dead patients back to life. The Plus: The genre. Some found footage thrillers have a knack for becoming surprise hits. Last year, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, Devil’s Due, The Purge: Anarchy, Into the Storm and Ouija scared up some great box office grosses. The Minus: The odds. The Pyramid, The Quiet Ones and last month’s Project Almanac, however, did not do nearly as well, giving credence to the fact that audiences are fickle when it comes to beating this dead horse.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Adam Scott, Rob Corddry H — Hack to the Future Quickly two-timing its way into obscurity, this horrid second trip in a certain Hot Tub takes the decent concept borne out in the first flick and immediately stops the clock on any funniness. In this R-rated comedy, Jacob and Nick (Clark Duke, Craig Robinson) fire up the time machine again when Lou (Corddry), who has become the “father of the Internet” via the stolen hot tub, gets shot by an unknown assailant. The original wasn’t a classic comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but that movie at least stuck to its premise (three middle-aged ne’er-do-wells quantum leaping to their glory days in the ’80s) and delivered enough quality jokes to qualify it as a decent laugh-getter. Rather than be witty and mine some period humor out of, say, the ’90s for another go-round, its deuce just abounds in penis, boob and gross-out jokes in a bland not-so-distant future. Yes, much in the same way that Back to the Future Part II went forward on the calendar, so too does Hot Tub Time Machine ... only the latter times out on intelligence from the outset. Sequel-wise, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 proves more Horrible than Horrible Bosses 2 and leaves moviegoers more hungover than The Hangover Part 2. Oh, it’s bad — painfully unfunny bad. Without John Cusack to lead them, these meager supporting characters get elevated to marquee status and just gratuitously throw juvenile put-downs and sophomoric potty humor at the audience for 90 minutes that sadly can’t be gotten back with a time machine of their own. Saddest of all is the fact that Scott, Corddry, Robinson and Duke actually signed off on this craptastic insult of a so-called-comedy after reading the script. There is no mistaking the dialogue and ‘story’ for holding even one Giga-watt of potential. Just about every bit and line falls flat. Cusack ends up to be the smartest member of this troupe for sitting out this water-logged time-bomb.

/ENTERTAINMENT

Kingsman: The Secret Service Colin Firth, Taron Egerton HHH1/2 — Tinker Tailor Soldier Spry Dapper, dashing, debonair and sometimes degenerate, Matthew Vaughn’s A-Grade spy romp might seem like a send-up, but it’s Bourne and Bond-ed to its own imaginative secret service. In this PG-13-rated adaptation of the comic book created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, a spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid named Eggsy (Egerton) into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius (Samuel L. Jackson). Inventive and incendiary, the movie takes itself seriously enough to sell through the high-kicking action and high-flying pyrotechnics but somehow makes you laugh at the explosive amount of gray matter coating the screen. Although Kingsman might seem too bloodthirsty to make much of a point at times, the movie offers some ripe commentary on class (societal and otherwise). Plus, it apes the Ian Fleming and John Le Carre tropes quite well, presenting lairs and colorful villains in equal knowing measure.

SMALL SCREENS McFarland, USA Kevin Costner, Maria Bello HHH1/2 — Chariots of Fireproof Firing up its Million Dollar Arm for another Rookie, Miracle story, Disney’s Invincible proven Game Plan works exceedingly well for the real events surrounding a winning cross country story that might have the legs of Secretariat if enough people run to theaters. In this PG-rated drama, Jim White (Costner), a new cross country coach in a small California town, transforms a team of athletes into championship contenders. Sure, it checks off all of the boxes that made such can-do sports endeavors as The Mighty Ducks and Cool Runnings such hits: the sporting life, an inspirational true story, a concentration on teamwork, a PG-rating and a good-looking cast led by a strong marketable (albeit not as marketable as he once was) male lead. But, is having your strings pulled so wrong when the end result ends up to be so enjoyable? It’s not like the studio keeps using the same script and just changes the sport in question with these projects. Every aspect — from location to script to performances to direction — works beautifully like a championship, well, team. Certainly, there are certain pit-falls that dog all of these family friendly flicks. For the most part, the women get relegated to unfortunate stereotypical roles (as Donna Reed, er, Jim White’s wife, Maria Bello cooks, cleans and organizes a bake sale). Also, any moments of violence (in this case, a knife fight), gets glossed over with quick editing. Of course, running 2 hours and 10 minutes, McFarland doesn’t allow much more room for add-ons. Still, with a PG rating comes safe choices that, for the most part, don’t seem to slow down all involved. Just as with Whale Rider and North Country, director Niki Caro imbues the landscape with so much character that the town of McFarland might as well apply for a SAG card. Rundown storefronts and over-worked families populate this area, but moviegoers mostly see beauty and pride. A veteran of many feel-good sports dramas (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Tin Cup, For the Love of the Game, Draft Day), Kevin Costner just about completely powers this feel-good machine. Loaded with charisma and drive, he motivates the players and the viewers by proxy to better themselves. Fifty Shades of Grey Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dorman HH — No Spank You, Ma’am Trying to spice up soft core pulp by hard selling a limp romance, this oftentimes dull adaptation of E.L. James’ steamy novel ends up to be many shades shy of sexy or entertaining. In this R-rated adaptation of the erotic romance novel by E.L. James, literature student Anastasia Steele’s (Johnson) life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey (Dorman). At least, the movie tries classing up the joint. Despite coloring in the Grey areas by focusing on the courtship, backstories of the two leads and build-up to the S&M in the first act, the rest plays out like a whimper — not a bang. It’s amazing how a flick with so many supposedly scintillating acts actually ends up being boring. Even with all of the hard bodies and spanking, no sparks fly between what’s on screen and the audience. Worse, nothing, ahem, climaxes. It’s understood that Christian Grey isn’t a romantic but his masochistic acts should at least elicit more than yawns from moviegoers.

Broad City (2014) Abbie Jacobson, Ilana Glazer HHH1/2 — Women Behaving Badly In this Comedy Central adult comedy available on DVD, the smallest and mundane events in the daily lives of two New York City women (Jacobson, Glazer) make for some hysterical and disturbing viewing all at the same time. Rather than compare away this duo’s amazing chemistry to past TV twosomes (Lucy and Ethel, Mary and Rhoda, Laverne and Shirley), the unique gleefully anarchic blending of these two tremendous talents deserves recognition all of its own. It’s not just that they’re two funny cogs running a wheel, however — the wheel’s on a hilariously designed track that spans enough of an arc to qualify as ‘episodic.’ The episodes — some of the titles of which don’t lend themselves to being printed in a family publication — are laugh-out-load standalone diamonds. Like Superman and his Fortress of Solitude, Jacobson and Glazer fire strongest on all cylinders when riffing on and in the 5 Boroughs of New York. They offer modern commentary without the pathos of HBO’s Girls and give frank dating observations without the safe sitcom trappings of Fox’s The Mindy Project. As unapologetically raunchy as an Apatow comedy, this Amy Poehler-produced laugh-riot just about boasts the funniest ladies on television today if you can get past the very blue humor.

Up Close & personal The art of Beer All beers are not created equal. That’s one reason why Mathew Dapkins started Massive Beer Reviews. He wanted to share his opinion on well-made and not-so-well-made beers. He also created the reviews as a way for like-minded brew enthusiasts to find new beers. So he started the series on YouTube with just himself, a camera and some bottles of beer. That ended up opening a trove of new beers from around the world, through networking and researching. It all started more than a decade ago, when he had his first good beer. And when he talks about a good beer, it comes down to more than just taste. He covers everything from the density to the bottle label. You can check out his videos yourself by searching for Massive Beers on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or just head right to his YouTube page. When he’s not drinking beers and talking about them, he works in body piercing at Guerilla Studios in downtown Scranton — something he’s been doing for 17 years. Meet Mathew Dapkins … How did Massive Beer Reviews get started? I’ve been into beer for a long time. I started the series last year around April. About 15, 16 years ago I had my first good beer and I was always into it. I had a circle of friends that were into it. But over the years with them moving away, there was an outlet missing for me to find new beer. I started doing more research online and I started watching YouTube video reviews of beer and I’m like, ‘A lot of these people like beers that I don’t like.’ So I started to go out and network with different people and I came to the realization that maybe there’s someone out there like me. Beer is subjective — it’s like art. You may like one thing, another person might not like it. So I said, “well maybe there are people out there that like the same stuff I do and they can’t find new stuff.” Why did you want to start your own reviews? A lot of beer reviews or beer shows, national beer shows or even radio shows about beer talk about beer, but they always talk about it in a good way. They say ‘this beer’s good, this beer’s good, this beer’s good.’ It just bothered me. Not all beer is good. That’s one of the big reasons I started doing it. I’m not going to say I like beer just to get

if I like it or I don’t like it. I know there are people that hate the beers I like. But if they like the beers I like, then they’ll know if I say I like it, I’m not just saying it just so some brewery contacts me. And even if I don’t like a beer, I can tell if it’s made well. I’ll still give it a really good score, but it’s not for me. I you’re into these types of beers, then you’ll like this beer because it’s made well. While I’m very opinionated about what I do like, I’ll still say if something is good or bad, regardless of whether I like it or not. What kind of beers do you like? A lot. My favorite kinds of beers are typically higher in alcohol. In order to bring out huge flavors and bold tastes, you need to make a higher alcohol beer — typically — but there are exceptions to the rule. I like things that are very strong and forceful in taste. My favorite styles would be Barleywines, English old ales and Imperial stouts. That’s what beer is all about — flavor. What goes into a beer review? When I review a beer, I explain where it’s from and who made it. Then I’ll go over bottle label art because I’m a big label art junkie. Then I pour it and look at it and see how it looks in the glass, the color, the density, the carbonation. If you break it down just from that visual standpoint, most of the time, I could tell you if I’m going to like that beer before I even smell it or taste it, based on look. So looking at a beer is like looking at a piece of art, where smelling it is like listening to a song and tasting it would be like dance. Where you have the visual art, audio art and physical art, it all encompasses into beer being awesome I guess you can say. How did you first get interested in beer? My parents owned a bar when I was growing up, so I was always around beer. Right around the year 2000, I went to Canada. When I got there, I asked them “Hey, I hear you guys have good beer up here?” At that point there weren’t very many outlets in this area that I knew of, because I wasn’t very knowledgeable at that point. We went to a local beer store and I said, ‘I like this one.’ It was a beer called Unibroue Maudite. You can buy it anywhere now, that’s how things have changed. I had it and I was like, ‘Why am I not drinking this at home?’ The person who pretty much got me into good beer was a guy by the name of Ian Hunter, he worked at a local bar in Wilkes-Barre called Elmer Sudds. I knew Ian through mutual friends, so I want to his bar and asked him ‘Do you have this beer I had in Canada?’ and he said ‘Actually, yeah.’ And from there it was just a matter of him kind of

To find out more about Mathew Dapkins and Massive Beer reviews, visit youtube.com/massivebeers and on Instagram @massivebeers. schooling me on what’s what as far as beer went. And that was kind of a crash course. How do you find out about new beers? The way the Internet is now, it’s super easy to reach out and find new things. Websites like RateBeer.com or BeerAdvocate.com are two big ones. YouTube itself is big, too. I didn’t know there were that many beer reviewers on YouTube. Through doing the reviews, I’ve probably met about a dozen, to 20 different beer reviewers. We go back and forth telling each other new beers that we’ve discovered or beers that we like. We’re finding beers we would never, ever hear of, because beer is super regional. It’s a network online of talking to people, finding stuff, beer trading with people. That’s one way. Another way is more locally. I do a lot of what’s called “bottle shares.” Over Christmas break, my friends and I decided to host a bottle share at my house. Each friend brought a friend that likes beer and then each of us brought beer that we didn’t think anyone else ever had. Then we’ll just sample everything everyone brought. What’s in store for the series? I’m constantly reviewing beer. I like beer, so I mean if I’m going to drink it I might as well talk about it. If I try something new, I record it, and

that’s actually the coolest thing I’ve gotten out of it. Drinking beer for a really long time, I was set in my ways. I’d be like, “I like this, I like these specific styles and these specific beers.” I stopped exploring. Now with this, I have a new mindset where I’m

psychologically sound sTraighT Talk from syndicaTed columnisT amy alkon The Wicked WiTch of The WesTin There’s a girl who works at the hotel where my co-workers and I go for drinks. She’s hot and smart and fun and I really like her and want to ask her out. The problem is that when she laughs, she cackles in this really annoying way. I’m wondering whether, if we started dating and hit it off, I could subtly hint to her that she should change her weird, witchy laugh. Because, honestly, she’s perfect otherwise. — Bothered It’s great to find a woman who laughs at your wit, but not when she sounds like she’ll follow up with “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” I know, the “expected” reply to a man wanting a woman to change something about herself is, “How dare you, you shallow pig?!” And I’m aware that behaviors that initially seem mildly annoying can, in time, make you want to bludgeon the person with the soup ladle. But it does seem a shame to nix a woman you really like right off the bat simply because it’s hard to tell whether she’s laughing or you’re around the corner from a donkey engaged in erotic asphyxiation. It’s possible that her laugh really is her laugh, “designed” by the shape and location of her larynx. HowStuffWorks founder Marshall Brain explains that when we’re laughing, the larynx gets half-closed by the epiglottis. (Laughter, most charmingly, is the sound of a person struggling for air, which we each do in our own special way.) But the reality is, some people with disturbing laughs have created them, often out of a desire to seem unique or get attention. They repeat their fabricated ha-ha and it becomes part of them. And then time passes and they forget to check whether their creation is still serving them or whether it might be to potential dates what garlic and crosses are to working vampires. Obviously, a woman is likely to be to hurt and offended if you announce, “If we’re going to have any future together, you’ll need a laughectomy.” However, IF you started dating her and IF you saw that she’s one of those (rare) people who “would rather know,” you could ask her about her laugh: “Have you always laughed that way?” But brace yourself for her to come back with something like “Do you hate my laugh?” At this point, like a rat on flotsam after a shipwreck, all you can do is grab for a piece of flattery: “Uh, um … it’s just that you’re so elegant. It doesn’t seem to go with the rest of you.” But first things first. You haven’t even asked her out. She might say no (laughing raucously and scar-

ing away crows). Or, if she said yes, things might fizzle after a date or two. So maybe go out with her a few times, taking it slowly (no sex, tickling or comedy club visits) and weigh whether her general fabulousness is enough to offset the intermittent cackly audio. Who knows … maybe you’ll fall for her to the point where her laugh becomes endearingly awful — always making you long to grab her and kiss her in the back seat of her broomstick. edgar allan repo The guy I’m seeing revealed that he is hesitant to get into a relationship because it means “taking responsibility” for another person on a level you don’t have to when you’re just friends with benefits. In his words: “I mean, what if you got cancer?” He wants the friendship and connection of a relationship, but he inevitably fails to step up and women bail. (What a surprise.) He did have a three-year relationship in the past and I really like him. Should I stick around and hope he calms down? — Unsure Here’s a guy who will have your back — getting smaller and smaller in his rearview mirror at the first sign of a serious problem, such as a bad hangnail. Sadly, it isn’t enough to “really like” a guy. You need to really like a guy who’s prepared to respond to your needs with loving concern instead of burning rubber. And in keeping with this unfortunate automotive theme, assessing a guy’s boyfriendability should be approached like selling cars. The successful car salesman will not spend his morning singing the praises of heated seats and in-car Wi-Fi to the customer wearing a blanket and cardboard sandals. That guy sure could use a car, just as your guy sure could use the “friendship and connection” (and, no doubt, the sex) of a relationship, but neither will be able to make the required payments. So, yes, waiting and hoping this guy “calms down” is an option — but you’d probably have better luck waiting for the brown bird outside your window to turn into a UPS driver.

purifying heaviness that purges any glib or shallow influences that are in your vicinity. It’ll be a healing heaviness that gives you just the kind of graceful gravitas you will need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “What I look for in a friend is someone who’s different from me,” says science fiction novelist Samuel Delany. “The more different the person is, the more I’ll learn from him. The more he’ll come up with surprising takes on ideas and things and situations.” What about you, Capricorn? What are the qualities in a friend that help you thrive? Now is a perfect time to take an inventory. I sense that although there are potential new allies wandering in your vicinity, they will actually become part of your life only if you adjust and update your attitudes about the influences you value most. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At the turn of the 19th century, Russian laborers constructed thousands of miles of railroad tracks from the western part of the country eastward to Siberia. The hardest part of the job was blasting tunnels through the mountains that were in the way. I reckon you’re at a comparable point in your work, Aquarius. It’s time to smash gaping holes through obstacles. Don’t scrimp or apologize. Clear the way for the future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The British rock band the Animals released their gritty, growly song “The House of the Rising Sun” in 1964. It reached the top of the pop music charts in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia and was a hit with critics. Rolling Stone magazine ultimately ranked it as the 122nd greatest song of all time. And yet it took the Animals just 15 minutes to record. They did it in one take. That’s the kind of beginner’s luck and spontaneous flow I foresee you having in the coming weeks, Pisces. What’s the best way for you to channel all that soulful mojo?
