5 great things to do this week

Take Me To ChurCh

IrIsh FlaMes

Eric Church brings “The Outsiders World Tour” to Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre this Friday, March 13. Alt-country rockers Drive-By Truckers open the show. After closing out 2014 with country music’s top-selling album, the Platinum-certified The Outsiders, Eric Church brings his hits such as “Give Me Back My Hometown” and “Raise ‘Em Up” (with Keith Urban) on the road. The Outsiders debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard Country Albums Chart. The Outsiders is the follow-up to Church’s Platinum-certified album Chief, which featured five Top 20 singles and two No. 1 hits; “Drink in My Hand” and “Springsteen.” Tickets are on sale now at the NBT Bank box office at Mohegan Sun Arena and ticketmaster.com. To learn more about Eric Church, visit ericchurch.com and facebook.com/ericchurch or follow @EricChurch on Twitter. — tg

If the parade isn’t quite your thing, you’ll have a chance to get away from the seas of Kelly green drinkers and check out a band that’s been hailed by many as being “even better than the real thing.” Unforgettable Fire, a New York-based U2 tribute band, rocks the 570 on Saturday, March 14, at Mt. Airy Casino Resort, Mt. Pocono. Tickets are $10. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Unforgettable Fire was born on New Year’s Day in 1995 as one of the very first U2 tribute bands to ever perform in America. After more than 17 years of playing in some of the most prestigious venues on the East Coast, the band has formed a reputation among many to be one of the closest experiences to being at an actual live U2 show. The band delivers material from pre-Boy to the most recent songs available in the U2 catalogue. The band features singer Tony (Bono) Russo, Mick (Edge) Normoyle, drummer George (Larry) Levesanos and bassist Craig (Adam) Kiell. For more information, visit uf2.com. — tg

Roman FaRce

Inspired by Plautus’s B.C. comedies including Pseudolus, Miles Gloriosus and Mostellaria, the 1962 musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, connects the most classic conventions of comedy with the form’s 20th century vaudevillian derivatives. Featuring a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbert and a score by Stephen Sondheim, memorable songs “Comedy Tonight” and “Everybody Ought to Have a Maid.” This weekend, the Music Box Dinner Theater in Swoyersville opens its fourth production of the show since its opening season in 1981. Directed by Lori Colacito, the cast includes Dane Bower, Chris Laundry, Lee Thomas, Jon Vojtko, Maureen Hozempa, Kalen Churcher, Michael Gallagher and Brandon Frashefski in principal roles. Shows run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m., March 13 through March 22. Tickets are available for dinner and show or show only and range from $14 to $35. A cash bar opens two hours prior to each curtain with a buffet dinner served 90 minutes before show time. Call the box office at (570) 283-2195 or visit musicbox.org for more information. — ag

PoseuR Poems

Described as striking “a balance between the conflicts of human emotions, the tragedies of the heart, love, loss and the special job afforded through reflection and contemplation,” Dr. Vivian Shipley’s poetry has been collected in six chapbooks and eight additional books, including All Your Messages Have Been Erased (2010). Two new releases are expected to be published this year. The school’s Soyka Fund for the Humanities will present a reading by Dr. Shipley on Monday, March 16 in a special program titled “The Poet as Imposter” at the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery from 6 to 7 p.m. She is the recipient of multiple prizes and awards and has been a professor at Connecticut State University since 1969. Call (570) 674-6400 for more information or visit misericordia.edu. — ag

ven theatregoers in the center of the loop might draw a blank at the title of Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s new offering. Opening Thursday at the Alvina Krause Theatre, Jacqueline Goldfinger’s Skin & Bone has only been produced once before, at the Azuka Theatre in Philadelphia where it received the Philadelphia Critics Award for Best New Play and was named “Best of Philadelphia Theater 2014” by Philadelphia Weekly. “The playwright is pretty young. She’s not necessarily new to the scene. She’s written quite a few plays,” BTE’s communications director Syreeta Combs-Cannaday shared. “This is part of her Southern gothic series.” The ensemble met Goldfinger through frequent guest actor Eric Wunsch, a friend of the playwright’s also based in Philadelphia. Directed by the ensemble’s Daniel Roth, Skin & Bone finds aging eccentric twin sisters Midge and Madge (Elizabeth Dowd and Laurie McCants) yearning for the years when their Florida bed and breakfast attracted droves of visitors to the local hot springs and their cooking won best barbecue at the church social,” said Cassandra Pisieczko who plays Emma. “It’s now on the verge of being condemned ... (when) Emma, shows up in search of memories of her mother — whose journal (records) her stay with the twins. The young woman’s presence awakens

16:24 | GRAHAMTOM

memories, and a hunger, long since dormant in the two sisters — and Emma soon learns more than she would like to know about what happened to her mother, and other guests.” “(The B&B) has gotten so run down that it is in danger of being torn down by a local developer (Andrew Hubatsek),” Dowd added. “Emma has come digging for missing pieces about her past. But what she learns unearths secrets that are best left buried in the past.” “Someone described it to me as Arsenic and Old Lace meets Hannibal Lector, so that’s a clue to the social taboo that they are involved in,” Combs-Cannaday said, “But then as the play progresses there is this shocking plot twist which is very exciting ... I’ve been comparing it to American Horror Story because it’s scary but its also comical.” “It’s kind of magical in a way, but it’s creepy. I can’t stress that enough. It’s definitely not for the squeamish. There is one tiny incidence of what I’ve been calling on-stage gore ... it’s sort of the result of violence but there’s no on-stage violence.” Goldfinger’s play proved a good match for BTE’s powerhouse actresses Dowd and McCants who many regional theatergoers have watched “grow up” on stage. “One of the best parts about (the play) is that the characters are 60-years-old and the actresses are 60-years-old, so they are not playing 40-year-olds or 85-year-olds, because those are the only roles written for women,” noted Combs-Cannaday. With new works so rarely being produced in the 21st century, it’s refreshing to see a play with a mysterious ending, she agreed. “I wouldn’t call the ending happy — it depends on which character you are rooting for — but you won’t be disappointed. Sometimes you get an end that is sort of enigmatic and you’ll talk about it afterward like, what the heck happened? This isn’t like that. You know what happened and ... you really will feel satisfied at the end.” Skin & Bone plays Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. March 12 to 29.

very important to always talk about that. Pink Elephant is so blatantly personal but I think Into the Dark and Emptying Field is more personal, it’s just this time there isn’t the one speaker that you can attach yourself to and root for. In these very small stories/poems you have to decide who the villain is, and it isn’t always who you think it is. There is an opening sequence because ...I needed the reader to understand that this is going to stay uncomfortable the entire time. And so I typed a small brief scene that begins, “A young woman from Afghanistan is the special guest on an American talk show.” And in the beginning you think the villain is either America or the bloodlusty talk show host who wants to see this deformed case of a woman, and then you are introduced to a man who hammers nails into her face and you think clearly he is the villain. But I read in an interview that you’re not an everyday writer, which I appreciate because I’m the very last lines talk about that man and why he does the thing he does and it happens to be a kind of a binge writer, myself. mother who used to sneak into his bedroom and Oh my God, that’s such a great term.

When I’m in a dark place, what it usually means is I’ve whittled myself this really important for us to allow the discomfort and push ourselves beyond our regular way of down into the center of the earth by fixating on thinking and examine why we are uncomfortable something terrible in the universe. There was a string of kidnappings and murders of young girls or why we are angry or respond most often to our fear with anger.

It’s usually the kind of stuff that’s addressing sexism or racism or misogyny or homophobia in a way that isn’t so black and white. There’s a poem called “Selachimorpha” in Into the Dark and Emptying Field that’s about Matthew Shepard, but no one knows that because it just seems to be about a boy that turns into a shark at the end. And it’s not just about Matthew Shepard, but the way in which those of us who are bullied or oppressed internalize it and turn it back and do the same thing that our oppressors do and I think it’s just

I can cut you down really quickly if I want to. I have the tongue of a drag queen thanks to my convict uncles, which I think is a great irony. But also when it comes to writing those landscapes or backdrop, I am very influenced by cinema or TV. I was a latch-key kid. I was raised on television and movie channels. I was obsessed with The Shining, I was obsessed with The Godfather. The way that lighting was used — how do you do that in poetry? You say that there’s a lamp coughing up light and that sets the tone that this isn’t a safe place. Because if the lamp is coughing up light and the rusty faucet won’t stop dripping or won’t stop leaking, and even when it’s leaking instead of dripping, you know the kind of language that invokes a very specific feeling.

/ ART Fellow realist Tim Reynolds purchased José Luis Corella’s painting after “Metamorphosis” after admiring it at the BP Portrait Competition in London, England in 2008. The two became close friends through their artistic understanding, despite a language barrier requiring the use of translators to converse.

panish realist José Luis Corella’s paintings are so realistic they might be photographs. It’s not surprising that local trompe l’oeil legend Anthony Waichulis was instrumental in arranging an exhibition of Corella’s work opening Friday in Misericordia University’s Pauly Friedman Art Gallery. It is New Jersey-based artist and close friend of Corella’s, Tim Reynolds who will speak about the artist’s work on Saturday, March 14 at 5 p.m. in Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall, however. An opening reception for the exhibit will follow the talk in the gallery. “People are people and paintings are paintings. When a painting makes me feel that I have connected with someone’s soul — that is art,” said Reynolds via press release. “Gazing into a Corella painting can feel almost voyeuristic, getting too close to the models, invading their personal space and sometimes getting to unabashedly stare right into eyes — clear, direct, personal and looking right into us,” he said of the

painter’s talent. “His paintings are so real, human and personal that we feel a sense of belonging. We are drawn in so close we see blemishes, tiny blackheads and the wear and tear of living, loving and making countless human connections, that too often end with the pain of separation, leaving nicks and sometimes scars.” Born in Spain in 1959, Corella studied at the Facultad de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia. His work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions in both Spain and the United States since 1980. In 2008 and 2009, he was selected as the National Portrait Gallery’s BP Portrait Award Exhibition Visitors Choice Winner. José Luis Corella: Paintings will remain on display through April 26. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on weekends. Call 570-674-6250 or visit misericordia.edu for more information.

SOUNDS

BRAZEN BEATS AND GRAND PROGRAMMING APHEX TWIN — Syro THE GOOD: British electronic artist Richard D. James releases his first album under the Aphex Twin moniker in 13 years. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: Aphex Twin was one of the most important switched-on acts of the 1990s, responsible for bringing drum-and-bass out of the underground and for popularizing ambient music; two subgenres that couldn’t be more dissimilar. A track like “Come to Daddy” could drill itself straight into your skull and pound away until the blood gushed from your ears. “Goon Gumpas,” on the other hand, was lilting and tranquil enough to bring a tear to the eye. Syro doesn’t visit any of those two extremes, other than a soft piano piece that closes the album. Instead, the new record is a myriad of strong pulsating rhythms and infectious little keyboard squiggles; tracks exploring drum-and-bass, jungle, straight up techno and other beat-driven genres. It proves that James hasn’t lost his touch, the record not sounding a bit dated. BUY IT?: Yes! Thankfully this guy is back. ODESZA — In Return THE GOOD: Seattle-based electronic duo Odesza expands their musical range on a second full-length. THE BAD: No complaints. THE NITTY GRITTY: Bringing a handful of up-and-coming guest vocalists along for the ride, Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight embark upon a journey of semi-epic proportions. Combining modern pop/electronic elements already brought to light by acts like Purity Ring and Passion Pit (seamless delicate rhythms, pitch-bending vocals, walls of gently cascading synths) and some ’90s new age throwbacks (one hears slight echoes of Deep Forest), Odesza creates a dreamy hypnotic brew and makes it all feel effortless.

Tracks like “Always This Late,” “Koto” and “For Us” work equally well while romping in the bright afternoon sunshine or taking in the sweet splendor of twilight. The beats are well defined, yet never intrusive; the melodies on top sway and swirl in warm multi-colored hues. All the while, the guys continue to find their own unique “voice” throughout the collection. BUY IT?: Definitely. TRICKY — Adrian Thaws THE GOOD: British trip-hop legend Tricky’s solo career hits the two-decade mark with his tenth fulllength offering. THE BAD: Like most Tricky records, Adrian Thaws (the man’s actual name) comes with moments of sheer brilliance and a few pitfalls. This is a set of highs and lows. THE NITTY GRITTY: The first half resembles better days; murky yet funky tracks like “Sun Down” and “Nicotine Love” recalling the trip-hop breakthroughs Maxinquaye (1995) and Pre-Millennium Tension (1996). The second half breaks the hazy mood by getting abrasive on cuts like the rattling “Gangster Chronicles” and the confrontational “Why Don’t You.” All this makes the album’s first half more enticing. As usual, Tricky has a number of female vocalists enhancing the tracks (Tirzah, Francesca Belmonte, Oh Land) and some even come close to the smooth style of longtime collaborator Martina Topley-Bird. So while Adrian Thaws doesn’t explore many new territories, the familiar ones it does visit aren’t disagreeable. This is the man’s tightest work in quite some time. BUY IT?: Yes.

SCREENS

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Cinderella Lily James, Hayley Atwell In this PG-rated live action retelling of the classic fairy tale from director Kenneth Branagh (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), a servant stepdaughter (James) living under the cruel regime of a wicked stepmother (Cate Blanchett) wins the heart of a prince (Richard Madden). The Plus: The genre. In a city full of crybabies, it only makes sense that children’s fairy tales are all the rage in H’Wood. ABC’s Once Upon a Time and NBC’s Grimm have been playing out on the small screen since 2011. On the big screen, however, Snow White and the Huntsman, Maleficent and Into the Woods reaped giant-sized gold at the box office. Here, Branagh directs James (BBC’s Downton Abbey), Atwell (ABC’s Agent Carter), Madden (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Helena Bonham Carter (The Lone Ranger), Stellan Skarsgard (Thor: The Dark World), Derek Jacobi (My Week with Marilyn) and Ben Chaplin (London Boulevard). The Minus: The odds. Live action tales Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood, Mirror Mirror and Jack the Giant Killer ended up to be fractured fairy tales, box office-wise.

Focus Will Smith, Margot Robbie HH1/2 — The Pursuit of Haplessness Despite boasting the Confidence of some A-Level Grifters, Will Smith’s occasionally slick but mostly uneven caper can float like a butterfly and Sting like a C. In this R-rated crimedrama, an accomplished femme fatale (Robbie) throws a veteran con man’s (Smith) latest scheme for a loop. The whole affair looks like a high-end car commercial, the scenery literally glimmering and the stars practically shimmering. Indeed, the movie and its trappings are a good-looking bunch all around. This window dressing proves to be a slight of hand, however, pulling your attention away from a script that alternates between being too convoluted or easy-peasie in all of the wrong places. In the first act, Focus takes a softball approach to setting up a romance that you can see coming from a mile away, love blossoming over a series of scams perpetrated by our con man and con woman. But wait, there’s an angle! Most movies would call a reversal of attraction in the second act a twist, but because its a caper flick the audience knows enough to smell a red herring at this point. Then, when it comes time to pull a big job and reunite the former lovebirds in the third act, the movie, ahem, loses focus with a muddled triple-crossing inside job. With such a complicated scheme devised, the climax should boast a better payoff. Ultimately, Focus ends up as more of a small con than a big score, which is slightly disappointing considering the marquee names involved. It’s not for lack of trying. Likeable but too recognizable, Will Smith finds himself in that awkward H’Wood stage where moviegoers can’t buy the actor as anything other than a movie star. Margot Robbie, meanwhile, steals every inch of digital dedicated to her character. She’s on her way to movie stardom, which makes the precise spit-shine and polish job by directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa all the easier.

NOW PLAYING 36 M a r c h 1 2 , 2 0 1 5

Run All Night Liam Neeson, Ed Harris In this R-rated actioner from director Jaume Collet-Serra (Taken), an aging hitman (Neeson) gets forced to take on his brutal former boss (Harris) to protect his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman) and his family. The Plus: The player. After years of supporting gigs in blockbusting franchises (Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, The Chronicles of Narnia, Batman Begins), Neeson emerged as a one-man Expendables, doling out some fisticuff and box office ass-whoopings in Taken ($145 million), The Grey ($51 million) and Taken 2 ($139 million) before landing a reported $20 million payday for Taken 3. Oh and starring gigs in The Clash of the Titans, The A-Team and Non-Stop certainly didn’t hurt either. Here, Collet-Serra directs Neeson (A Million Ways to Die in the West), Harris (Snowpiercer), Kinnaman (RoboCop), Vincent D’Onofrio (The Judge), Genesis Rodriguez (Identity Thief), Common (AMC’s Hell on Wheels) and Bruce McGill (Lincoln). The Minus: The record. January’s Taken 3 took in far less than its predecessors. September’s A Walk Among the Tombstones, however, proved to be Neeson’s lowest earner at the box office in years.

/ENTERTAINMENT

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? 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.

Still Alice Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin HHHH — Courageous Beauty Showcasing a heartbreakingly brave performance by Julianne Moore, Still Alice presents a truthful and heartfelt account of a harrowing disease. In this PG-13-rated drama based on the novel by Lisa Genova, a linguistics professor (Moore) and her family (Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth) find their bonds tested when she gets diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. There have been decent dramas about Alzheimer’s before, most notably The Notebook and Away from Her. What this latest such film offers, however, is a deeply personal trip down a disheartening rabbit hole that somehow never feels tragic. Still Alice feels so deeply personal because Julianne Moore imbues our heroine with such character that you’re drawn into the drama from the outset. The audience becomes ridiculously sympathetic because they seemingly know Alice like an old friend, which is a credit to the actress for informing her life with such detail and verve. And then, filmgoers go on this perilous journey with her. Screenwriters-directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland do an excellent and economical job at condensing a 350-page book without losing resonance or relegating supporting players to stock characters. Indeed, despite being a performance piece for Moore, Baldwin, Stewart and Bosworth likewise shine as some not-always-likeable family members. Still, make no mistake about it, this is a certain actress’s show. It seems improbable that Moore never won an Oscar before this film. Despite a career bursting at the seams with memorable roles (The Big Lebowski, Magnolia, Hannibal, Children of Men, A Single Man, The Kids Are All Right) and past Oscar nominations (Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, Far From Heaven, The Hours), she had never taken home this prize before Still Alice. Not only did she win Best Actress, but she totally deserves it for this vital inspirational role. 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 Rrated 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, without John Cusack to lead them, some 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.

SMALL SCREENS

BLURAY Fargo (2014) Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thorton HHHH — O Brother, How Great Thou Art? In this FX series on DVD and Blu Ray, a drifter named Lorne Malvo (Thorton) arrives in smalltown Minnesota and influences the population with his malice and violence, including put-upon insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Freeman). Twisty, subversive, atmospheric and often downright awkwardly hilarious, Fargo greatly pulls off the biggest and most successful mystery: How do you bring a quirky and beloved Coen Brothers film to the small screen, kinda sorta keep the style, but so much the story and still manage to imbue it with nearly as much wit, edge and jaw-dropping dramedy with brilliant new character and performances to boot? Aw, jeez. Ya betcha!

Up Close & personal party on (a bike?) A new, odd vehicle is lumbering around the streets of the 570: the NEPA Party Bike is a massive, 10-person “pedicycle.” Riders hop on board and start pedaling, while the driver steers around town. The party bike is equipped with electric motor assistance and beverage services — depending on the location, riders can enjoy drinks while touring. The unique mobile touring party “venue” was brought to the area by Mike Lisowski, who heard about the idea through family.

How did all this get started? I have a nephew who’s a bit urban and progressive. He was telling me last year that he was on this bike that holds 10 people. I had no idea — I couldn’t even envision it. I just let it go in one ear and out the other, but he talked about it a lot. Around this time last year, I was cross-country skiing on one of the rails-to-trails paths, and I see two nitwits coming downhill skiing. One without a job — my son — the other who hates his job — my nephew. I said “You guys have nothing to do, why don’t you try to get into business?” They were always talking about the bike they saw, and I told them I’d do a little homework on it to get them started. And son of a gun, I started doing my homework, and I became intrigued because it’s so different. I’m a retired high school teacher and principal and I’ve just been hanging around for the last couple of years having fun, doing nothing and everything. I’ve always wanted to see what it would be like to reinvent myself. So here I am, looking at these sites with bikes, and I’m reminded of this poem “The Dash” by Linda Ellis. Basically, it says when you look at a person’s tombstone, there are two numbers — the day they’re born, and the day they died. But people don’t see the dash or hyphen in between that defines how you live or how you made it through life. I’ve always wanted my dash to be pretty long. That shows you were at least hammering away at life and doing the best you could, and at least … living. I thought to myself, “I’m going to hop on board and get one of these things. I might lose my butt, I

How do you even acquire such a device? I called people who had one and just bombarded them with questions. I started looking at my finances. What could I come away with? I went out and did research on it, and the more I looked, the more interesting it became. It seemed like something like this belonged more in the big cities and in the South. I know they’re quite popular there. As a matter of fact, I don’t know if they’re even considered unique in a lot of cities. It seems like every major city has them right now. I started thinking, “I don’t know if I want to move to a different city, or a different place, so it was that out-of-the-box thinking. Let’s buy one of these; a $40,000 investment that’s handmade in Arizona. I had to spend about another $20,000 to get a trailer for the truck and other things. Instead of bringing it to the Jersey Shore or to Savannah, Georgia, or any place like that, we brought it here. I love the area I grew up in and that we all live in. I get the biggest kick out of northeastern Pennsylvania and I thought, ‘I’m going to bring it here, and if it works here, great. If it doesn’t work here, great. But that’s what I’m going to do.’ I could speak of the virtues of this area — there are some detractors who might bust on it — but What is the setup like on the bike?

To find out more about the NEPA Party Bike, visit nepapartybike.com. I’m very protective of the Pennsylvania laws for the credibility of the business. Whatever ordinances towns have, I’m making sure I stay compliant. In Waverly, where we have a nice pub crawl, you’re actually drinking on the bike as you go from place A, B and C. The town said it’s a go, it’s OK to do. It could be considered a “traveling convivial gathering,” a “traveling bar,” anything like that. In Scranton, or even in Carbondale, people are disappointed they can’t drink on it. My response is, “there are so many places to stop on the way, you really don’t want to have alcohol on the bike — you need a little break from it in between.” We’ve done a few in Scranton, and there have been no problems with it. We stop at a couple places, water up and we’re off to the next place.

One route goes from Kildare’s to The Keys to Backyard Alehouse. The only bad thing is the driver can’t drink and, right now, that’s me — but I can’t drink for Lent anyway! When I’m driving around, it’s as fun as it can be. We’re trying to put some personality into the business. I really want to be kind of an ambassador for northeast Pennsylvania, and promote all the good that it happens to have. That’s why whoever’s going to be driving this under me, I’m going to make sure they’re happy and positive and they are enthusiastic. That’s part of the mainstay of the business. I want to make sure people have fun. — tucker hottes

The Taming of The spew This guy I’m dating usually texts back when I text him. But sometimes, like last night, he doesn’t write back. And I’m just texting stuff like “How was your night?” — not “OMG, I miss you.” His not responding feels so disrespectful. I want to read him the riot act. — Deeply Upset Unfortunately, it’s the rare man who has a mindreading helmet, and even if this one does, there’s a good chance it’s in the back of his closet under a pile of socks containing semen specimens from the mid-’90s. So yes, you actually do have to tell a man what you want. But choose your tone wisely. Reading a man the riot act is the right idea if you’re just looking to vent and be done with him. Angrily attacking someone or even just criticizing them will set off their fight-or-flight system. Their brain dispatches a bunch of biochemical messengers to alert the internal palace guard that they’re under attack. This, in turn, shuts down the systems that aren’t necessary for escape or battle, such as their digestive system (yeah, whatever) and their intellect — as in, their ability to consider your point. Oops. To give this guy a chance to hear you and maybe even change his ways, turn to the wisdom of the world’s first behavioral economist, Adam Smith. In his 1759 potboiler, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments,” Smith notes that evoking someone’s sympathy motivates them to want to ease the suffering of the person they’re feeling sympathy for. In other words, instead of attacking the guy, simply let him know how hurt you feel when you text him and get only the cold glare of the blank screen in response — the equivalent of his replying to some question you ask him at a party by diving over the porch railing into an embankment. Unless he has an ashtray or another small household object where his heart is supposed to be, chances are he’ll feel bad that you’re feeling bad and try to reassure you. Also, as I explain in “Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck,” “technology makes a nearly instant response possible; it doesn’t mandate it.” But by calmly explaining that you’d really appreciate a response — at some point, even the next day — he can lay out what works for him, and the two of you can see whether it’s possible to meet in the middle. By talking instead of raging, you’ll be getting off to a very good start that transcends problemsolving in the text messaging department. (If you can’t tell a guy he’s hurting your feelings, how can you tell him, “Slower — and a little to the right”?)

waiT managemenT I was crazy about this guy I started dating, but he got complacent, so I ended it. I started seeing someone else, which led my ex to proclaim that he loves me and wants me back. I recently ended things with the other guy, largely because I still have strong feelings for my ex. My ex swears he’ll break up with his current girlfriend but seems in no hurry to do it. How long should I wait in the wings for him? — Clock-watching How long should you wait? Well, that depends on whether you’re hoping to go on your first date with him in a flying car. Relationships are “built on trust,” not rust forming on you while you “wait in the wings” for a guy who’s under no pressure to speed up the timetable on having the uncomfortable breakup conversation with his current girlfriend. Another explanation for his dawdling may be the “mere ownership effect,” a behavioral economics term describing our tendency to irrationally overvalue and cling to something simply because it’s already in our possession. Consumer behavior researcher Sara Loughran Dommer finds that this ownership effect is even stronger when there’s an “ego threat” involved, like, oh, when your ex’s thoughts of you also bring up thoughts of you dumping him (even if he did deserve it for sleeping on the job). However, the behavioral science cookie jar has something for you, too — “reactance,” our fear of missing out on an opportunity, the principle behind “Limited-time offer!” To chip away at his current complacency, give him a two-week “grace period” to straighten things out. Allowing him some time suggests that you have strong feelings for him. Making it a limited time suggests that you have strong feelings for yourself (self-respect and, out of that, boundaries). Good things can come to those who wait — just not so long that the movies playing on date night are Bruce Willis in “Die Hard With a Pacemaker” and Jackie Chan in “Kung Fu From a Walker.”

Gaynor recorded the song “I Will Survive” in 1978. It sold over two million copies and ultimately became an iconic disco anthem. And yet it was originally the B-side of “Substitute,” the song that Gaynor’s record company released as her main offering. Luckily, radio DJs ignored “Substitute” and played the hell out of “I Will Survive,” making it a global hit. I foresee the possibility of a similar development for you, Capricorn. What you currently consider to be secondary should perhaps be primary. A gift or creation or skill you think is less important could turn out to be pre-eminent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m tempted to furrow my brow and raise my voice as I tell you to please please please go out and do the dicey task you’ve been postponing. But that would just be a way to vent my frustration, and probably not helpful or constructive for you. So here’s my wiser advice: To prepare for that dicey task, lock yourself in your sanctuary until you figure out what you first need to change about yourself before you can accomplish the dicey task. I think that once you make the inner shift, doing the deed will be pretty easy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling,” the young hero suffers from a peculiar case of mistaken identity. He believes that he is a duck. All of his problems stem from this erroneous idea. By duck standards, he is a homely mess. He gets taunted and abused by other animals, goes into exile and endures terrible loneliness. In the end, though, his anguish dissolves when he finally realizes that he is in fact a swan. United with his true nature, he no longer compares himself to an inappropriate ideal. Fellow swans welcome him into their community, and he flies away with them. Is there anything in this story that resonates with you, Pisces? I’m guessing there is. It’s high time to free yourself from false notions about who you really are.

ThE PARADE & ThE PARTY

PARADE DAY BAR LIST 2015

Parade Day in Scranton might just be the biggest bar-hopping day of the year. Before you head out, take a look at what some Scranton bars have in store for you. Many of the bars listed here have a cover charge, particularly those with live entertainment. So grab your friends and family, tip back a pint and enjoy the day. Sláinte!

The 570 Goes Green Once Again

It’s officially that time of year again; the arrival of Scranton’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade! When the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade marched up and down Scranton’s streets in 1962, who would have dreamed that one day it would turn into the humongous celebration it has grown to be? Scranton’s St. Patrick’s Parade is the second largest in the nation, trailing only Savannah, Georgia’s parade. When this year’s 54th annual parade steps off at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, we’ll be celebrating the Irish world with more than 100,000 people decked out in green. The parade is expected to feature more than 12,000 participants and close to 10 times that amount will line the city streets and fill up the bars. While the parade doesn’t start until 11:45 a.m., official parade-related activities begin at 10 a.m. with the annual mass at St. Peter’s Cathedral on Wyoming Ave. The Brian P. Kelly Memorial Run — the first event of the season and the oldest road race in the Scranton area — kicks off one hour later at 11 a.m. The two-mile run starts at the Scranton Cultural Center and follows the parade route in reverse all the way to St. Peter’s Cathedral, then reverses course back to the Cultural Center. Register online at stpatparade.com or in the Lackawanna College Student Union from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on March 14. The entry fee is $12 in advance or $15 the day of the parade. (Scranton Running Company, 3 West Olive Street, Scranton, hosts a Friday “Packet Pickup” for preregistered runners on March 13, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) Brian P. Kelly was the 2004 St. Patrick’s Parade Association president who lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 24, 2004. Proceeds from the race benefit a scholarship fund for Norah Kelly, Mr. Kelly’s daughter. Here are a few more details you need to know for the 54th annual Scranton St. Patrick’s Parade: n According to weather.com, we’re looking at a 90 percent chance of showers with a high near 44. For the early birds, sunrise is 7:17 a.m. n Those of you planning to enjoy adult beverages prior to the parade should know that most downtown establishments open at 9 a.m. Eat

Bars and streets will be packed and the lines will be long. n Pack non-alcoholic beverages and a few bottles of water to keep yourself hydrated. Also remember to bring snacks, cash and arrange for transportation. n As always, parking will be in high demand, so we highly recommend getting downtown early — especially with the bars opening at 9 a.m. If you are drinking, don’t drive. A necessary police presence and checkpoints will be in place for everyone’s safety. n Throw on your green clothes, beads, Irish caps, fisherman sweaters, shamrocks, etc., and get festive. n The parade route begins on Wyoming Avenue in front of St. Peter’s Cathedral, proceeds to Lackawanna Avenue, over Jefferson Avenue, then down Spruce Street to get to Washington Avenue, where it passes the William J. Nealon Federal building and finally the reviewing stand.

Ours has that historical tradition to it, 35 years and going strong,” Prokop said. “I think we fit nicely in size with the other parades. We’re not too big and not too small, we’re just right.” Another thing that makes the WilkesBarre parade stand out is the other events that turn it into a day-long celebration.

That’s why businesses are putting their best storefronts forward. Many bars and restaurants downtown will have parade guests on their doorsteps, so they’re trying to entice them inside. They get very excited, I noticed that some of them started advertising early with banners outside their establishments, so they’re ready to go,” Prokop said.

Prokop says the parade gives a boost to the local economy. “The parade route goes right down our business district on South Main Street,” said Prokop. “It’s great for the revitalization for our downtown, it benefits our downtown businesses and it’s something we look forward to each and every year and our downtown businesses feel the same way about that.” — kirstin cook
