Psycho thriller

The Taipei Folk Dance Theatre is set to perform this Saturday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m., at the Sette LaVerghetta Center for Performing Arts at Marywood University, as part of The University of Scranton’s “International Conference on Asian Studies: Taiwan and China in the Global Context.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. A limited number of tickets for reserved seating are available upon request. General admission seating is also available the evening of the performance on a first-come first-served basis.

The Taipei Folk Dance Theatre will also present a master class, question-and-answer session and a workshop on Sunday, March 29, from 1 to 2:15 p.m., in the Rose Room of Brennan Hall. The workshop is also free of charge.

For a full schedule of events, visit the conference website at nepaasianstudies2015.wordpress. com or call (570) 941-7643 or email asianstudies@ scranton.edu. — tg

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse musical Jekyll & Hyde recounts the dark tale of a doctor who is convinced he might cure his mentally ill father by isolating the evil part of man from the good. When his research proposal is rejected by the hospital board, he secretly experiments on himself to diabolical and disastrous ends.

Set in Victorian London, the Gothic musical thriller debuted on Broadway in 1997 and features audience favorites “Someone Like You,” “In His Eyes” and “This is the Moment.” Key characters include Dr. Jekyll’s fiancé Emma Carew, Lucy Harris — the “hooker with a heart of gold” who is terrorized by Mr. Hyde — and Jeykll’s lawyer and best friend, John Utterson, who narrates Stevenson’s story.

Touring Theatre Associates presents its 2014-2015 national tour production of the musical at The F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in WilkesBarre for one night only on Friday, March 27, at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets range from $42 to $62 and are available by calling (570) 8261100 or by visiting kirbycenter.org. — ag

Country Crooner

Tennessean country music star Dustin Lynch brings his show to Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe on Friday, March 27. Adam Sanders will serve as opening act. Doors for the show open at 6 p.m., with showtime at 8 p.m. General admission tickets are $22 in advance, $27 on the day of the show.

Lynch’s self-titled debut hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and the lead single, “Cowboys and Angels,” exceeded platinum sales status. His follow up single, the sexy up tempo “She Cranks My Tractor,” became a No. 1 video on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown. Rolling Stone proclaimed Lynch as “The New Hat in Town” in the magazine’s 2013 Best of Rock issue and he later opened for Keith Urban on his recent “Light the Fuse Tour.”

And the cowboy hat isn’t just a prop. “ I wear a cowboy hat,” Lynch said recently. “It’s who I am and, weirdly enough, in country music cowboy hats are few and far between right now. I’m glad it’s that way.

The door is open for a young guy like me to come in and carry that torch. I’m happy to do so.” — tg

ComiC relief

Growing up in the ethnically diverse neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn gave comedian Steve Solomon a front row seat to a rainbow of colorfully accented characters. In his autobiographical one-man show My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy, the former physics teacher portrays 20 different characters as he sits waiting in the lobby for a doctor who never shows. It’s estimated that more than a million people have seen the show as it’s toured beyond New York in more than 100 cities in several countries. You can join their number this weekend when Broadway Theatre League presents the show at the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple on Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $35.50 and are available at the box office. Call (570) 342-7782 or visit nacentertainment.com or stevesolomon.net for more information. — ag

engineered for exCitement

There’s something about watching aerialists fly through the air or balance on high wires, acrobats defy gravity and the persistent discipline of animal trainers pay off in a circus ring in front of hundreds of spectators that make the challenges of your daily grind seem a little less daunting.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey brings The Greatest Show on Earth back to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Township this weekend. Titled Built to Amaze, this latest edition features stars including motorcycle high wire artist Alex Petrov, Ringmaster Andre McClain, animal presenters Ashley Vargas and Vicki Zsilak, comedy dog act The Olate Family, fourth-generation circus performer and Italian clown Davis Vassallo, aerial casting act The Dobrovitskiy Troupe, hand balancers Duo Solys, trapeze artist Kaely Michels-Gualtieri, unicycle performers the King Charles Troupe, “Crossbow Casanova” Ovidiu Pasarar, the Wheel of Steel and the Zamperla-Zoppe Roman and Coassak Riding and Aerial Acts family. Shows start at 7 p.m., on Thursday and Friday, 1 and 5 p.m. on Saturday and at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

“I like the fact that for the most part, my poems are pretty accessible. I don’t consciously aim for that, but I do know that my sense of audience is always a mix of literary and nonliterary types,” Elaine Equi is quoted at poets.org. “On the other hand, I like to keep things (especially in terms of language) interesting. Over the years, my work has been informed by a wide range of styles including surrealist, concrete, and classical Chinese poetry, so it’s not unsophisticated—just willfully direct in a minimalist sort of way.”

Now based in New York City where she teaches at The New School, the poet emerged from Chicago late ‘70s-‘80s performance poetry scene along with her husband Jerome Sala, with whom she will read in The Theatre at Brooks at Keystone College on Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. Admission is free of charge.

STILL BAD

GEORGE THOROGOOD AnD THE DESTROyERS ROCk kIRBy CEnTER CROwD George Thorogood mugged, strummed and rocked his way into fans’ hearts earlier this month.

The blues-rocker and his band, the Destroyers, known for hits like “Bad to the Bone,” performed at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre. The crowd sang along as Barry McGuire’s 1965 protest song “Eve of Destruction” came over the loudspeakers.

Thorogood emerged to a fanfare of sound and light, as a voiceover declared him “the undisputed rock-n-roll champion of the world.” The audience, on their feet, cheered as he yelled, “How sweet it is!”

He and the band set the mood with the danceable “Rock Party,” from their 2006 album Hard Stuff.

The song featured the first of many fast-paced guitar solos and Thorogood throwing his sunglasses over his shoulder to saxophonist Buddy Leach.

“And away we go!” Thorogood shouted, taking the band into their hit cover of Bo Diddley’s 1956 song “Who Do You Love?”

“Welcome to the rock-n-roll party,” Thorogood said, telling the crowd that he got some good news — the Destroyers’ parole officers let them out for the show.

“However, I promise each and every one of you I’m going to do everything in my power to get someone arrested tonight,” he said. “Somebody’s going to go to jail for rock-n-roll, and it’s going to be me.”

The band tackled the groovy “The Fixer,” from the 2003 album Ride ‘Til I Die, paired with “Night Time,” a cover of the 1965 The Strangeloves song.

The crowd whistled and danced for the downand-dirty “I Drink Alone,” a hit single from the 1985 Maverick album. That got Thorogood a well-deserved standing ovation and shouts for more.

With his back to the audience, Thorogood combed his hair back for a solo start to the John Lee Hooker medley, “House Rent Blues/One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer.” The band picked it up as Thorogood riffed and hammed it up, calling out to “Wilkes-Barre!” (‘Barr,’ not ‘Barr-e,’ but hey, he’s not the first to do that. Man’s a busy rocker.)

“All right, let’s start the show,” Thorogood said, extolling hard-working waitresses and bartenders and reminding the crowd to always take care of them. “They rely on you to make a living. They don’t make a living off compliments.”

Other highlights included “Get a Haircut,” from the 1993 album Haircut, the truckin’ “Gear Jammer” from Maverick, and a cover of Hank Williams’ “Move It on Over.”

“All right you want it? How bad do you want it?

All right, you got it,” Thorogood said as the band tore into the iconic “Bad to the Bone,” from the 1982 same-titled album and used in numerous movies, television shows and commercials.

The Danielle Nicole Band, fronted by Danielle Schnebelen, opened with a well-received set. The Kansas City native and bassist led the band with a powerful, bluesy voice through a few songs from their first EP, which came out earlier this month.

That included the strong “You Only Need Me When You’re Down” and the groovy “Starvin’ For Love.” Leach of the Destroyers joined the band onstage with his saxophone for “Burning for You,” while Destroyers guitarist Jim Suhler came out for Led Zeppelin’s “Trampled Under Foot.”

New fans will have a chance to see the band again this year — the Danielle Nicole Band will be performing July 11 at the Briggs Farm Blues Fest in Nescopeck.

SOUNDS

ON AND ON TIL THE BREAK OF DAWN

ROYKSOPP — The Inevitable End THE GOOD: Norwegian electronic duo Royksopp releases their fifth (and supposedly last) album.

THE BAD: End gets down-tempo in spots, but the record remains engaging throughout.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland aren’t breaking up. The two simply want to explore other ways of releasing music, as opposed to the traditional album format (which tends to hinder some electronic artists anyway).

So End is one last full-length big bang before the pair moves on.

But while the album starts out energetic and strong (the gloriously infectious Daft Punk-like “Skulls” and the Robyn-fronted “Monument”), that big bang slowly morphs into an ambient whimper. Tracks like “You Know I Have to Go” and “Here She Comes Again” are more suited to headphones in a dark room as opposed to a lively crowded dance floor. Thankfully, the rhythms fully recover on other pieces such as seamless dancepopper “Running to the Sea.” BUY IT?: Yes. End is not the duo’s strongest, but it’s still a worthy “whole effort.”

So how good or bad Motion is depends upon the individual. I’m all about the grinding noise of “Slow Acid” and the heavy thud carrying “Overdrive.” Yet I can do without the soft burn of “Ecstasy” or Stefani’s slick yet dull “Together.” But that’s a Harris disc. They’re all less like traditional albums and more like collections of singles; greatest hits packages before the songs actually become hits.

BUY IT?: Sure. Motion is still more good than bad.

2 BEARS — The Night is Young THE GOOD: Electronic duo 2 Bears (Raf Rundell and Hot Chip frontman Joe Goddard) bring on an eclectic second.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: It’s nice to see the side project wasn’t a one-off deal, for this new album is just as enticing as its predecessor. Rundell and Goddard offer up a mix that encompasses everything from straight electronic pop (“Get Out” and “Angel”) to flirtations with reggae and dub (“Money Man”) to more experimental chunks of ambient (“Son of the Sun”). “Modern Family” is a short but sweet bit of electrified modern folk. The title cut mesmerizes with its droning yet melodic after-dark pulsations.

What always makes a 2 Bears collection so attractive though is that sense of carefree fun.

This is still a side project, so the guys aren’t afraid CALVIN HARRIS — Motion to get a little silly now and then or take the music THE GOOD: Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris in wild directions outside of the Hot Chip comfort continues to tackle the mainstream on his fourth. zone (which is pretty expansive to begin with).

THE BAD: Harris’ music has been formulaic BUY IT?: Yes. since day one. Motion doesn’t alter that fact. But the record remains fun.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Pulsating beats and simple keyboard riffs dominate the backing tracks. Mike Evans Mike Evans is a super cool Guest vocalists run the gamut from Ellie Gouldradio guy who doesn’t mess ing to Gwen Stefani to Haim. Harris goes for the around when it comes to music. Sounds appears weekly retro disco and electro and then spins around in electric city and diamond and slides into heavier dubstep. So even though city. we’ve been here before, the guy doesn’t skimp on variety. mevans@timesshamrock.com

odd, strAnge, Curious, weird & ABsolutely true news From eVery Corner oF the gloBe

Curses, Foiled AgAin • Rocco Tumbarello, 41, stole stuff from a home in West Boynton, Fla., authorities there said, but he didn’t get far. He lives across the street. The victim came home to find had his 42-inch TV and his mother’s laptop gone, the sheriff’s report said, and spotted his neighbor “running across the street with his television in his hands.” (South Florida Sun Sentinel) • The civil marriage of Zubair Khan, 48, and Beata Szilagyi, 33, was exposed as a ruse to skirt British immigration laws when Khan couldn’t remember Szilagyi’s name. He delayed the ceremony to call his marriage broker for the name. The suspicious registrar called authorities, who arrested bride and groom for what Home Office immigration official Andy Sharpe called “a farcical, but nonetheless serious attempt.” (New York Daily News)

nothing to FeAr here The month after an inebriated government employee crashed a small drone on the White House lawn, the Secret Service announced plans to test its own “unmanned aircraft systems” to help protect the White House from drone attacks and other incursions. “I don’t think we’re talking about a battle of drones in the skies,” Michael Drobac, executive director of the pro-drone Small UAV Coalition, said.

“This isn’t ‘Battlestar Galactica’ gone drone. I think this is simply an ability to monitor. I’m confident they’re not intending to use weaponized drones.”

(The Washington Times)

it hAppens • U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted job opportunities for doctors to help monitor suspected

smugglers’ bowel movements at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Applicants must be available around the clock to use X-rays to examine body cavities of suspected “swallowers.” If drugs or other contraband materials are detected, “the detainee may be held for a monitored bowel movement (MBM) to wait the passage of the contraband,” according to the CBP, which uses a high-tech toilet to recover the material from the waste passed by the suspected smuggler. (The Washington Times) • Human waste left by climbers on Mount Everest is causing pollution and threatening to spread disease, according to the head of Nepal’s mountaineering association. Ang Tshering told reporters more than 700 foreign climbers and guides spend two months climbing the world’s tallest peak during the brief climbing season, leaving feces and urine at four camps where they stay to acclimate themselves to the altitude. “Climbers usually dig holes in the snow for their toilet use and leave the human waste there,” Tshering said, adding the waste has been “piling up” for years. (Associated Press) FAmiliArity Breeds Attempt Christopher Miller, 41, served 15 years in prison for robbing three businesses, including a Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River, N.J. The day after he was paroled, he returned to the same Stride Rite store and robbed the same clerk, who had been notified of Miller’s release. Miller pleaded guilty and faces 10 to 20 years in prison. (NJ.com) phArmACeutiCAl Follies • Mary McKaig, 54, asked a Florida court to void her online bid of $100,500 for a foreclosed home because she was under the influence of “judgment-

altering” prescription diet pills. After her bid was accepted, McKaig discovered the property has more than $400,000 of debt. “The diet pill seems like a convenient excuse for not doing their research before bidding,” said Lloyd McClendon, CEO of RealAuction. com, which handled the transaction. (ABC News) • Drug companies boost sales with promotional campaigns to create awareness of medical conditions that their drugs treat. A recent example is Vyvanse, which the Food and Drug Administration approved to treat binge eating, even though it previously forbade its maker, Shire, from promoting Vyvanse as an obesity drug because of its amphetamine content. Immediately following approval, Shire donated $100,000 to the nonprofit Binge Eating Disorder Association and paid retired tennis player Monica Seles to appear on television talk shows to share how she once secretly devoured food. The American Psychiatric Association officially recognized binge-eating disorder in 2013, opening up the new market for Vyvanse.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Get Hard Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart In this R-rated comedy, San Quentin-bound millionaire James King (Ferrell) gets nailed for fraud, so he turns to pretend-excon Darnell Lewis (Hart) to prep him to go behind bars. The Plus: The players. Talk about star power. Time (Old School) and time (Anchorman) and time (Talladega Nights) and time (Step Brothers) and time again (The Other Guys), Will Ferrell’s brand of R-rated comedy brought home the bacon at the box office. Here, he gets paired with Kevin Hart who, having busted out in back-to-back-toback smash hits Think Like a Man, Ride Along and his stand-up concert film Let Me Explain, is almost as much a marquee selling point as Ferrell. Alison Brie (The Five-Year Engagement) and T.I. (Takers) round out the cast. The Minus: The odds. Neither Ferrell (The Campaign) nor Hart (The Wedding Ringer) proves to be a sure thing. If you’ve seen the trailer for this supposed laugh-riot, you know that their collaboration faces a Hard uphill … okay, nobody’s fooling anybody. Even when critics pan this prison romp, moviegoers will be lining up en masse.

Insurgent Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort HH — To Kill a Mockingjay Divest Catching Fire of most of its topical intrigue, spirited action and engaging character development and you have Insurgent, a bleak future of a sequel awash with too much lazy writing and too many cliches to emerge as anything but a poor man’s Hunger Games. In this PG-13-rated live sci-fi-thriller based on the bestselling book series by Veronica Roth, Beatrice Prior (Woodley) must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side. Usually, for a fantasy franchise’s sophomore outing, the quality of the screenwriting, acting and action gets stepped up in a smart game of one-upmanship — solidifying its staying power and ensuring a trifecta. Insurgent, on the other hand, stumbles into a sophomoric slump. They should have called it The Redundant Series, what with it portraying practically the same Dystopian tomorrowland already seen in countless other failed YA adaptations (City of Ember, Mortal Instruments). Like Hunger Games, this seemingly post-Apocalyptic society gets split into different factions. Unlike Hunger Games, however, there’s no real plot on which to hang a story. Contrived action sequence leads to a contrived plot point leads to contrived exposition. As frequent flyers, you’ve taken this journey before with a lovestruck female heroine leading a fight against a repressive government with a big bad in charge. Worse, for such a simple story, Insurgent runs troublingly long. The only selling point ends up to be to the acting. The talented Shailene Woodley, fresh off of tear-jerking cancer drama The Fault in Our Stars, tries to make chicken salad out of chicken spit, putting emotion behind skeletal dialogue. She, like Miles Teller from Whiplash, gets wasted in a purely stock part. Not only does the source material seem reminiscent but so does the production history. Like Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games, Divergent’s director gets replaced for this second go-round.

Also, like those same movies, the last book of the series will get expanded into two parts on screen. Quality wise, The Hunger Games faltered a bit by dividing up their final chapter into a twofer. The Divergent Series, already feeling long and boring at this halfway point, better quit while it’s well behind.

It Follows Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist In this R-rated horror flick from newcomer David Robert Mitchell, a young girl (Monroe) gets followed by an unknown force after being involved in a sexual confrontation. The Plus: The genre. Some otherworldly thrillers have a knack for becoming surprise hits. Last year, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, Devils Due and Ouija scared up some amazing box office grosses. It Follows comes with a fervent fan following, having wowed horror fans at the 2014 Cannes Film festival. The Minus: The odds.

The Pyramid, The Quiet Ones, Project Almanac and last month’s Lazarus Effect, however, did not fare nearly as well, giving credence to the fact that audiences are fickle when it comes to choosing their thrills. But this is kinda sorta a moot point. Low budget and already a hit in limited release, It Follows is already a hit of sorts regardless of Top 10 placement this weekend.

Cinderella HHH1/2 — Bibbidi Bobbidi Yahoo Magically transforming a beloved cartoon into a grand ball of a live action flick, Disney’s classy and colorful take on Cinderella proves to be the furthest thing from an ugly stepsister. In this PG-rated live action retelling of the classic fairy tale from director Kenneth Branagh, a servant step-daughter (James) living under the cruel regime of a wicked step-mother (Blanchett) wins the heart of a prince (Richard Madden). Unlike so many other recent revisionist fairly tales, this property surprisingly and refreshingly plays it traditional. The script boasts a few thoroughly modern tweaks, however, including more of an independent streak in Cinderella that sees her perpetually repeating the mantra: “Have courage, be kind.” And that’s the divisive charm of this version: It’s for dreamers, not for hard bitten cynics. As if clad in a Technicolor Dreamscape, the hues in the settings, costuming and makeup pop with an almost epic richness. Likewise, the beautifully staged musical numbers — old and new — lull all but the most persnickety viewers.

SMALL SCREENS

The Gunman Sean Penn, Idris Elba H — I Am Sham Gunning for a raspberry at an automatic clip, musclebound Sean Penn’s attempt at becoming a Liam Neeson-style action hero unfortunately causes the audience to recoil with every pump of the trigger. In this R-rated actioner, a former Special Forces soldier and military contractor (Penn) suffering from PTSD tries to reconnect with his longtime love, but first must go on the run from London to Barcelona and across Europe in order to clear his name. Oh, the titular character certainly looks the part, cut like an UFC fighter and angrier than Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation, but the deathly serious tone laughably handicaps what amounts to an expensive bullets and brawn B-Movie. Treating the same BGrade material with an almost fanatical religious sternness, the story laughably misfires as well. Injected with a personal political bent by the producer, the already uninspired story becomes even duller when the lead — a paycheck-cashing assassin — retires to become a virtuous do-gooder, building wells and third world hearts before his past comes back to haunt him — one of many such heavy-handed instances.

The producer, of course, also proves to be the star: Sean Penn, an actor known for sticking liberal foot in mouth on many an occasion. While the well-meaning actions of his character are far from an egregious affront away from the confines of the script, here they become self-important grandstanding. Worse, Penn (a very deserved Best Actor Oscar winner for Mystic River and Milk) inhabits the part with the same laser-intensity as with Dead Man Walking. This is the same actor who reportedly took swipes at Nicolas Cage’s thespian credentials when the latter starred in Con Air. At least Cage knows how to literally roll with the punches with tongue firmly in cheek. Perfect physical specimen Penn kicks and hits like the best of them but, in approaching The Gunman like it was an Ingmar Bergman masterpiece, his character quickly becomes more expendable than an Expendable.

The Elephant Man (1980) Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt HHHH — Trunk Show Jewel Having recently enjoyed a critically hailed revival starring Bradley Cooper on Broadway, the 1980 film adaptation of The Elephant Man definitely deserves a revisit. In this PG-rated bio-pic, a Victorian surgeon (Hopkins) rescues a heavily disfigured side-show freak (Hurt), only to discover that — behind the deformity — exists a man of great intelligence and sensitivity. In many regards, The Elephant Man drives home the human factor of morality tales Beauty & the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame better than these adaptations themselves. Certainly, the fact that it’s a true story makes your heart beat with more compassion. ‘Truth’ becomes the operative word, however. Freddie Francis’s stark black and white cinematography acts as a truth serum, laying bare these amazing real-life characters creatively licensed by screenwriter Christopher De Vore. As realized by a pre-Silence of the Lambs Anthony Hopkins and an unrecognizable John Hurt (sporting phenomenally realistic makeup by Christopher Tucker), this heartfelt story hits you beat for tender beat. For his follow-up to the offbeat oddity Eraserhead, David Lynch thankfully mostly takes a straightforward approach, taking you by the hand and effortlessly walking you right into the hospitals and freak shows of Victorian London.

Some of his indulgent nightmare sequences ring closer to in tone the surrealist moments of later successes Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive, but these indiscretions don’t entirely kill the drama.

Up Close & personal The Beard and Beer Craft beer enthusiasts in the 570 are more than familiar with 3 Guys & a Beer’d Brewing Company based in Carbondale. These mad scientists of brewing have been making beer together for nearly eight years and more recently have found their products on tap throughout the area — craft beer enthusiasts can also swing by the brewery, located at 10 Enterprise Dr., Carbondale, for growler fills on Saturdays, from 3 to 8 p.m.

With plans for an exponentially larger facility, expanded distribution via LT Verrastro and an endless supply of ideas, their label is poised to become ubiquitous throughout the region. We talked to Johnny Waering — “The Beard” — on a brief moment away from the brewery. Catch 3 Guys & a Beer’d at the Electric City Craft Brew Fest on April 18 and see the exclusive unveiling of a special beer with a community-selected name. The beer will then be available at the Susquehanna Breakdown, May 8 and 9.

How have things been with expanding the business?

It’s just been crazy. With the expansion, it’s as if we started our business again. We’ve added bigger tanks, we put in some big bright tanks, we’ve upgraded our presentation cellar and we’ve upgraded our mash tub. Everything’s been getting bigger and easier to work with. Consistency is getting better and better and better. The longer we go, everything is getting better — the beer is getting better.

We’ve been expanding our customer base as far as we can go. I was on the road five days a week while Matt was in the brewery brewing all day long and doing production all the time. I’d be on the road all the time going from spot to spot.

We had just over 100 accounts in five counties and that was pretty much all I could handle. I’d need to hire a couple other people just to help cover the territory. Now that we’re with LT Verrastro, it will help out exponentially getting to places. We’re in eight counties now instead of five, so we’re in a lot more places.

How did that deal come about? What goes into making a deal like that?

We’ve been talking back and forth over the past couple years and we just kind of sat down and

looked through all the distributors in the area and weighed the pros and cons of which would be the best for us. Each one has its own brands they distribute — ones it concentrate on more than others and LT Verrastro seemed to be the best fit for us with the craft lineup it already has and what its profile looks like so far. We gave them a call, set up a meeting and got down to business. They were excited to have us, we’re excited to be there, so it’s been moving very, very fast the past few weeks and months.

Are you guys prepared to handle the additional demand?

We’re in the brewery a lot more now, which is a good thing. But we’re there constantly. I’m not there right now, but I’m going there later. It’s never been a five-day-a-week job — it’s always been a seven-daya-week job, or however many hours you have to put in no matter what. Matt always has a good quote, “When you own your own business, people think it’s easy and you can make your own hours. Yeah, sure you can work half days, you just have to choose which 12 hours you want to work!”

Tell us about the beer for the Susquehanna Breakdown.

We don’t have a name for it yet. But we’re pairing with the Susquehanna Breakdown music festival and brewing a special beer. It’s absolutely delicious. We tasted it on our growler fill day and it was amazing.

It’s a pale ale — we use European hops and French Triskel hops. The Europeans are trying to gravitate more toward American-style hops, but they can’t get our hops because they’re in such high demand over here. The hops never even get out of the States.

So they had to formulate their own hop. The French Triskel is their answer to a citrusy American hop they can’t get. So we’re using that and it’s awesome. We also use sweet orange peel which goes right into the boil. You get a really big aromatic punch of citrus and it’s also within the flavor of the beer as well. It’s a very refreshing pale ale. It washes clean right off your palate, coaxing you back for another sip.

Not to mention your limited editions.

Yes. We do some cask stuff and some firkins. We recently did a couple firkins with Cooper’s Seafood for an event for the United Way that went very well.

We had our Chewhoppa and we aged it with lagered yeast and it really mellowed everything out. We refermented it in the firkin. It was very, very nice. We’ve done one with our ESB over raspberries in the past.

It’s fun to play around with different beers. We just had a Scotch ale come out that hit the market and it’s already gone because it sold that fast.

It’s going to allow us to get bigger equipment, bigger tanks and grow into a space that we’ve needed since we started.

ness (Loyalty Barber Shop and Shave Parlor). How did that come about?

Those guys are great. We’ve known them since they started their business and they’ve known us since we started ours. We were all mutual friends, we started our own respective businesses and we decided “What the heck, hey guys, come on up and brew beer with us!”’ And it was never really meant to go as far as it did, it was just a way to have a good time and cook some food like we always did. Then it just got so popular, we made it year round. People kept asking for it and asking for it and there was nothing we could do but give them what they were asking for! That’s one of our most popular beers right now.

Sometimes the concepts just come out of nowhere.

It’s pretty cool sometimes when you see the process and you go from an idea and then see it out in the market. It’s fun to see these things come to life.

We’re just sitting around the brewery, thinking about something, thinking about a new beer, even just firing movie quotes back and forth. Then all of a sudden, we look at each other like, ‘Oh! That’s got to be a beer!’

And we just go from there. We think about a recipe, or come up with a style that might fit that movie quote or idea that we had and we just run with it. And then sometimes awesome beer comes out of it.

“There is a comedy culture in Scranton,” Lepka explained. “Scranton has a lot of talented people.

People don’t really know we exist and that’s what I’m also hoping to change with this club. A lot of my comedians who are also going to do guest spots and M.C. work are also local comedians. We do have quite a few local guys who will be featured as well. They’ve performed in comedy clubs and colleges. They’ve also gone on to perform in New York City and at festivals.”

Also getting a chance to show off their talents will be local poets and storytellers. Lepka plans to open each night with a performance from a member of Breaking Ground Poets or Scranton StorySlam.

Laugh Out Lepka’s Comedy Club seems to promise the best of NEPA, opening on Scranton’s First Friday and being centered in the heart of the city. “Downtown Scranton is a central location,” Lepka said. “Also, with what Scranton Tomorrow is doing, trying to revitalize the downtown area, I think it’s very important that the people of Scranton have something affordable to do and something different than just going to listen to a band or getting drunk.

Psycho sudoku “Greater-than sudoku”

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s and so on).

With this as your theme, Capricorn, I invite you to spend a lot of time visiting the Old You in the Old World. Immerse yourself in that person and that place.

Get lost there. And don’t come back until you’ve relived at least a thousand memories. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. While it is a good time to get reacquainted with the old days and old ways, I don’t recommend that you get utterly consumed by the past.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some Aquarian readers have been complaining. They want me to use more celebrity references in my horoscopes.

They demand fewer metaphors drawn from literature, art and science and more metaphors rooted in gossipy events reported on by tabloids.

“Tell me how Kanye West’s recent travails relate to my personal destiny,” wrote one Aquarius. So here’s a sop to you kvetchers: The current planetary omens say it’s in your interest to be more like Taylor Swift and less like Miley Cyrus. Be peppy, shimmery and breezy, not earthy, salty and raucous. APRIL FOOL! In truth, I wouldn’t write about celebrities’ antics if you paid me. Besides, for the time being, Miley Cyrus is a better role model for you than Taylor Swift.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Annie Edson Taylor needed money. She was 63 years old and didn’t have any savings. She came up with a plan: to be the first person to tuck herself inside a barrel and ride over Niagara Falls. (This was back in 1901.) She reasoned that her stunt would make her wealthy as she toured the country speaking about it. I recommend that you consider out-of-the-box ideas like hers, Pisces. It’s an excellent time to get extra creative in your approach to raising revenue. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It’s true that now is a favorable time to be imaginative about your financial life. But don’t try outlandish escapades like hers.
