#1

Casino Time

Jams

Mohegan Sun Pocono is full of Memorial Day weekend events running Thursday, May 21, through Monday, May 25, including live music, comedy, horse racing and the opening of the outdoor terrace. Four finalists compete in the grand finale of the Battle of the Bands on Thursday, May 21, at 8 p.m. at Breakers, where the winner of this year’s competition will be chosen.

The final four bands competing for the grand prize are Nowhere Slow, Coast 2 Coast, Stealing Neil and Facing the Giants.

On Friday, May 22, have a drink on the terrace to kickoff your weekend. Located off the hotel lobby, the terrace is a relaxing outdoor venue with seating surrounding an open fire, with live entertainment from Mike Dougherty on Friday, May 22, and Music for Models on Saturday, May 23. Comedy is also on the menu with Kevin Downey Jr., Marc Yaffee and Scott Bruce at Wise Crackers Comedy Club.

On Saturday, May 23, at 8 p.m., catch Blues Traveler (pictured) on the stage in the Keystone Grand Ballroom. Known for hits such as “Hook,” “Run-Around” and “But Anyway,” the band is touring in support of its most recent record, Blow Up the Moon.

Tickets are available for $50, $30 and $20 through Ticketmaster or at the Mohegan Sun box office. — tg

Catch two great shows this week at the newly-opened Coal City Tavern, 75 Main St., Luzerne. On Thursday, May 21, Brothers Keepers — a trio featuring Scott Rednor on guitar, Michael Jude on bass and John Michel on drums — perform with special guest Dean Ween of Ween and Jason Crosby of Phil and Friends. Moonalice and Doobie Decibel System open the show.

On Saturday, May 23, stop by the tavern again to see jambands Particle (pictured) and Flux Capacitor.

Particle is one of the key pioneers of the emerging “livetronica” music scene. The band has been a staple at major U.S. festivals including Bonnaroo, Coachella, ACL Festival and Lollapalooza. The group received critical praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, The New York Times and CNN. Tickets for each show are $15. Visit coalcitytavern. com for more information. — tg

Feathered Folk

Inspired by folk tales including “The Stolen Veil” and “The White Duck,” Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake is probably the most famous ballet of all time, second only to the composer’s other claim to fame, The Nutcracker, of course. Ballet Theatre of Scranton presents a full-length production of the masterpiece this weekend at the Sette LaVerghetta Center for the Performing Arts at Marywood University, in celebration of the 120th anniversary of its Russian premiere. Artistic director Joanne Arduino directs the cast, featuring Dan Pigliavento (Pitch Perfect 2) as Prince Siegfried as well as Jerica Tallo and Alia DiGregorio. The performance Saturday, May 23, is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., while Sunday’s show, May 24, is at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $18 to $25 and are available via tututix.com or 855-222-2849 or visit balletheatre.com for more information. — ag

heart and Soil

Unless you enjoy gardening, you probably don’t think much, if at all, about the ground beneath our feet “from which we all arise and to which we all must return.” Inspired by arborist William Bryant Logan’s book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, a 2009 documentary Dirt! The Movie explores our need for soil to propagate human life and the impact society has had on the Earth. It will be screened Tuesday, May 26 in the Pearn Auditorium in Brennan Hall at The University of Scranton, as the first in a series of three films presented by The Greenhouse Project on the topic of “returning to real food for our health.” Additional films include GMO OMG on June 9, and Fed Up on June 16. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the film scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by a panel discussion with local experts. Light refreshments will be served. A donation of $5 is requested in support of The Greenhouse Project’s mission of “growing a sustainable community through education, food and healthy living.” Call 570-344-9186 for more information or visit scrantongreenhouse. org. — ag

a rad run

Runners are once again gearing up for the Color Me Rad 5K taking place on May 24, in downtown Scranton, at N. Washington Street (between Spruce and Linden street). The first wave begins at 9 a.m. More than 950,000 runners across North America have participated in Color Me Rad. The non-competitive, family-friendly atmosphere makes this race accessible to all and children age seven and younger run free with an adult. Runners start the race with a clean, white T-shirt. By the time the runners cross the finish line, they’ll be covered head-to-toe in a colorful mess. In addition to the run, a post-race dance party will also be held.

The for-profit event is giving a portion of the proceeds of each race to a local charity. The proceeds of the Scranton race will benefit Special Olympics Pennsylvania.

Registration is available at colormerad.com. Participants can pick up their race packet (after signing a waiver) in the Waverly Room at the Hilton Scranton and Conference Center, 100 Adams Ave., Scranton, on Saturday, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For more information and to see additional race locations, visit colormerad.com or on facebook.com/ colormerad5k. — tg

Actors Circle presents Neil Simon’s The Prisoner of Second Avenue Thursday may 28, to Sunday, June 7, at the Providence Playhouse in Scranton.

CurTain Call: help yourselF To The leFTovers Belarus Free TheaTre’s ‘Trash Cuisine’ arChived aT howlround.Tv

I

didn’t know the performance would be archived for later broadcast. HowlRound TV was live streaming the closing performance of Belarus Free Theatre’s Trash Cuisine at La Mama in New York City and I had already missed the first 20 minutes.

“I really need to see this,” I told one daughter and then the other. Like cats, they don’t seem to want anything to do with me until I have something important to do. I explained how BFT had been censored, then banned, from performing in Minsk and that people all over the world were watching at that very second, and how amazing it is that we have this transcendent technology. The Internet hadn’t even existed when I was in high school, back when pay phones were still a thing.

Their foreheads wrinkled with bemusment as I kept one eye on the performance streaming bufferfree on my iPad. “Look, see how they are water torturing that guy,” I pointed out.

“Mommy, it’s called waterboarding,” my youngest chastised, before resuming the florid beauty regimen that turns average West side teenagers into HD-ready hotties.

Staged on a white set with emphasis on active metaphor over text (English with Belarusian? subtitles), Trash Cuisine addresses institutionalized killing in at least five different countries. The “white box,” I thought has replaced experimental theatre’s

black box in this digital age requiring projectionfriendly surfaces. Live music underscores much of the action. One interlude features a single actor releasing angst with disciplined dynamics onto an elevated drum. Stealing my theatrical heart, the company works very intentionally to stimulate all of the audience’s senses. Onions are chopped and meals are cooked on stage. It’s not entirely comfortable. We think the sound of bird bones being crunched and then digested is hard to take until we are confronted with the shrieking (simulated) sounds of a woman being electrocuted.

I had first encountered BFT one weekend afternoon upon accidently turning into the HBO documentary Dangerous Acts Starring the Unstable Elements of Belarus. If you are unfamiliar with them I highly recommend you start here: hbo. com/documentaries/dangerous-acts-starring-theunstable-elements-of-belarus.

To see artists forced underground, harassed and threatened with imprisonment, so that its message of social and political justice not be spread, is astonishing. Meanwhile, in the U.S., we use our enviable freedom to stage another Neil Simon comedy again. No offense, it’s not just Scranton. I choose to live in Scranton because this is where my roots are and because I love the landscape and the people. Not because I want to live in a bubble, isolated from what’s going on in the wider world. And so I work after work in order to pay for the expensive technology that gives us unprecedented access to the global, cultural and intellectual lifeline our kids take for granted.

There’s a scene in Trash Cuisine in which two lunching ladies/executioners dine on strawberries with cream and champagne, chattily comparing notes about work while their servers are seized and bound, stripped naked and dressed with fruit before being body bagged and hauled off stage.

Their callous obliviousness to the atrocities occurring directly about them, and complicitly, made me wonder if this is what the Belarusians have witnessed during their exile in the West? Have we wasted our freedom on fostering a climate in which ignorance and selfishness are savored by the elite while we serve them, hoping to ascend to their pampered level? The privlege of freedom is that we don’t have to think about such unpleasantness in society’s margins. Just as the rich don’t have to think about money because they have it.

But perhaps that aloofness isn’t as attractive as we had assumed, as the advertisers promoting good responsible consumerism told us it is?

We usually write about all the “school’s out” entertaining summer stock escapism scheduled between Memorial and Labor days in our annual Sizzlin’ Summer issue, but maybe a little summer school wouldn’t hurt this year. There is a lot to learn from BFT in this production alone. And it’s likely that many more companies will begin taking advantage of the HowlRound outlet and put this technology within democratic reach to use to share their work as well.

The New York Times’ Ben Brantley, who had issues with the performance’s “diffuseness,” acknowledged “(BFT’s) presence has provided a necessary and welcome reminder that theater can

indeed be a revolutionary art.”

Political theatre is notoriously difficult to do well. Even more difficult than our beloved comedy.

Audiences enter theaters and sit down with full willingness to be manipulated. We want the show to mess with our status quo, while we remain cynical and resistant to persuasion of propaganda.

We don’t want to be sold to or preached at or told what to think, yet we do want to exit the theater with a feeling that something has happened to us.

We want to be transformed in some way, but we don’t want to see it coming. We insist it be magic; we don’t want to know how the trick was done.

Belarus Free Theatre has a clear position but they aren’t so much telling us what to do as simply urging us to just wake up and incorporate a little more awareness into our diet. What does it mean that these atrocities against human beings are happening in the world? They present this case with such playfully creative means that we can be not defensive, but rather, fascinated by the art of their theatrics.

Think Fink

ForMEr BrEAkinG BEn GUiTAriST AAron Fink STrikES oUT on HiS oWn.

Guitarist Aaron Fink is taking it solo for the first time.

The former Breaking Benjamin guitarist released his debut solo album, Saint Sylvania, earlier this year. Fink ultimately aimed to make a rock record, something less structured and raw, he said, and getting to know his voice on lead vocals and how it shaped the music.

“At the end of the day, I like a good catchy rock song, like anyone else,” he said.

A native of Selinsgrove, Fink picked up his love for music from his father, Gary Fincke, who is not a musician but is a big music fan. His dad listened to a lot of doo-wop music and classic rock and was a deejay at Susquehanna University. Fink recalled sitting on the floor watching while his dad would do his thing.

“I thought that was really cool, for a little kid, to see my dad spinning records and taking them off the turntable and hearing the crackle,” he said. “I found that to be quite enchanting.”

Early start In seventh grade, Fink’s teacher introduced him to the guitar. He learned pretty quickly, he said.

“From there, there was no looking back,” he said.

Fink has been a member of several bands throughout his career. In the late 1990s/early 2000s, Fink was the guitarist for Strangers with Candy — which later became Lifer — with Mark Klepaski, bassist and fellow ex-Breaking Benjamin member. Then, as a member of Breaking Benjamin for more than a decade, Fink

Former Breaking Benjamin guitarist Aaron Fink recently released his debut solo album, Saint Sylvania. performed in arenas all over the United States.

After a difficult split, he and Klepaski played in the band Stardog Champion. When that ended, Fink contemplated his next move.

“I always sang backup vocals in whatever band I was in,” he said. “I was comfortable with that.”

Since he already had several songs he had written, he decided to go it alone. Fink said he liked having something that was all his own, which can be freeing but also nerve-wracking since it all fell under his own control.

“But I’ve done a lot of work, made a lot of records over the past 20 years,” Fink said. “I’ve done it the other way quite a bit (with a band), so I think it was a good time to do it this way.”

Fink played and sang on the album in addi-

tion to writing all the songs. While he often has sung backing vocals, this was his first chance to step up to the main mic and do all the work himself.

“I played everything except the drums, but I wrote all the drum parts,” he said.

Draws from experience As a guitarist, Fink finds inspiration in players like the Edge of U2 and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. As a songwriter, he said he admires people like Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl and Noel Gallagher.

Fink draws from his personal experiences when he writes songs, although he likes to stay somewhat ambiguous with his lyrics, using evocative language and imagery. That allows

listeners to relate to the song in their own way, he said.

Fink is working on putting together a band lineup so he can do some shows. In the meantime, he also plays in the band Gentleman East, which includes Bret Alexander and Paul Smith, formerly of the Badlees.

“We’re putting out a record sometime soon,” Fink said.

SOUNDS

BEAUTY ABOVE, BEATS BELOW PURITY RING — Another Eternity THE GOOD: Canadian electronic duo Purity Ring (vocalist Megan James and instrumentalist/producer Corin Roddick) dodges the sophomore slump on Another Eternity.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The new record isn’t all that different from 2012’s Shrines, but why mess with (damn near) perfection? Roddick’s beats click along and lock the swirling keyboard melodies above firmly in place while James delivers her vocals with a charming girl-next-door innocence that is completely disarming.

And the songs themselves are good. Opening cuts “Heartsigh” and “Bodyache” immediately establish the mood, letting us know we’re in for another healthy dose of smooth rhythms and infectious tunes delivered in a coy manner. Tracks like “Stranger than Earth” and “Sea Castle” add more haunting atmospherics, creating an eerie vibe that’s even slightly sinister.

That’s one of Purity Ring’s greatest strengths.

Their records are very basic, and could easily fall into a repetitive rut. However, the pair utilizes the necessary subtle nuances to never let that happen.

BUY IT?: Definitely.

PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING — The Race for Space THE GOOD: British instrumental duo PSB returns with a fascinating sophomore set.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The pair debuted two years ago with their inspired mix of beats, live instrumentation and sampled snippets from old educational films. Now, they’ve returned with a concept album; The Race for Space exploring that tense and exciting period between 1957 and 1972 when both the United States and the Soviet Union were making great strides in satellite launches, space exploration and moon landings.

The record covers nine pivotal moments of this unforgettable chapter in history, using samples from NASA transmissions, vintage documentaries and Russian broadcasts. Each track enhances its specific moment with a distinct style of music. The 1957 launch of “Sputnik” is all about deep pulsations and ambient techno. Our own 1969 lunar landing is revisited with the intensely rocking “Go!” A bit of funk celebrates Soviet space pioneer “Gagarin.”

BUY IT?: Yes. Race ends up both a great scientific document and a fantastic headphones record.

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS — Froot THE GOOD: Welsh-born singer/songwriter Marina Diamandis (stage name Marina & the Diamonds) gives us a tasty third.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Just like her first two excellent outings, Froot is an electropop/indie rock hybrid where liquid beats below carry stupendous memorable melodies above. This time however, Diamandis isn’t working with a bevy of producers and co-writers. She chose to write Froot on her own and utilized only one producer, British born David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Faultline). The album ends up being much more introspective and slightly more low-key (although the rhythms never disappoint).

The ballad “Happy” launches the set on a subtle note; a divine melody more than making up for the lack of a big beat. But then punchy cuts like the title track, “Forget” and “Savages” bring back the swagger of past albums, and prove this woman’s confidence is damn near unshakeable. Froot never falters, and the more times you listen, the sweeter it gets.

BUY IT?: You must.

SCREENS

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Poltergeist Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt In this PG-13-rated remake of the 1982 horror classic, a family’s suburban home gets invaded by evil forces. 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 while recent release It Follows continues to lure horror fans into the cineplex. Here, Gil Kenan, who gave families a delicious ’80s horror throwback in Monster House, directs a cast that includes Sam Rockwell (The Way Way Back), Rosemarie DeWitt (Kill the Messenger) and Jared Harris (Pompeii). The Minus: The odds.

More often than not, even when the critics despise them, some remakes end up turning a decent profit: Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, The Omen, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. Regardless, horror remakes remain risky business despite better-than-average odds. For every success story like The Thing, The Fly, The Ring or Dawn of the Dead, there’s a box office dud like The Hitcher, Wicker Man, The Wolfman or Fright Night waiting in the wings. Tobe Hooper’s original Poltergeist, which was based on a story by Steven Spielberg, might be too well regarded by older fans for audiences to show up en masse.

Pitch Perfect 2 Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson HHH1/2 — Lady Sings the Boo Yah Singing for their super, the Barden Bellas Pitch a comedy that’s not quite as near-Perfect as its predecessor but comes very close by hitting a lot of high notes along the way. In this R-rated musical comedy directed by actress Elizabeth Banks, collegiate a cappella group the Barden Bellas (Kendrick, Wilson, Brittany Snow, Hailee Steinfeld) enter into an international competition that no American team has ever won. Call in a sophomore whump, grooving moviegoers with vervy mix of knee-slapping wit and toe-tapping warbling. That’s what made the first Pitch Perfect so catchy, after all and part two doesn’t stray too far from this wheelhouse. In fact, in typical sequel form, the flick just ups the ante and the stakes. The key differences between this and most follow-ups come down to the hilariously bawdy (but somehow teen-friendly) sense of humor and brilliant choice of soundtrack. Most of the jokes and gags get the desired effect, which involves laughing out loud in a dark theater full of strangers.

Likewise, the song choice evinces a lot of careful planning. With so many sing-offs, you’d think the constant rotation of ’90s jukebox hits would get old fast. On the contrary, they set the mood and keep you invested in a musical by default. It helps that the letter-Perfect cast nails every line and song. Kendrick’s A-Level sardonic delivery and Wilson’s physical clowning alone provide a masterclass in modern comedy.

Tomorrowland George Clooney, Britt Robertson In this PG-rated sci-fi adventure, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity (Robertson) and a former boy-genius inventor (Clooney) embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory. The Plus: The players. George Clooney gave a memorable turn in one of 2013’s most celebrated and award-winning films, Gravity. Unfortunately, he followed this up by writing-directing the critical and commercial dud Monuments Men, but this bona-fide movie star’s CV nonetheless boasts plenty of blockbusters that speak well for his bankability (Out of Sight, The Perfect Storm, Oceans Eleven). For his follow-up to Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, former Pixar animation director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) helms a cast that includes Clooney (The Descendents), Robertson (The Longest Ride), Judy Greer (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Hugh Laurie (Fox’s House), Kathryn Hahn (Bad Words), Tim McGraw (Country Strong) and Keegan Michael-Key (Comedy Central’s Key & Peele). The Minus: The secrecy. Since Tomorowland went into development in 2012, Disney has kept a veil over the plot, hoping that the mystery would whet moviegoers appetites a la similar marketing campaigns for Cloverfield and Super 8. In October, a teaser trailer gave audiences a glimpse of what’s to come. The release of a full trailer In April, however, still leaves a lot of questions unanswered. At this late date, moviegoers still hold little with which build anticipation.

Hot Pursuit Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara H — Bloated Weapon As Hot as revenge served on a witch’s teat, this wasted team up of good talent goes too big too always. Perhaps, the music used over the opening credits provides the best review of all.

In this PG-13-rated comedy, an uptight and by-the-book cop (Witherspoon) tries to protect the outgoing widow (Vergara) of a drug boss as they race through Texas pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen. At first, it sounds like Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” Soon, however, you realize that this is not the jangly rocking guitar of the Heartbreakers but a cheap karaoke knockoff. A note-for-note cover of something familiar and better, Hot Pursuit tries wringing comedy out of the tired buddy flick. This broad “broad” comedy might star two very capable players, but the material holds zero potential of generating laughs. Reese Witherspoon remains one of H’Wood’s most versatile actresses but this grade-Z shtick only asks her to run the gamut from A to lowercase “a.” Here, saddled with lines like (to the diminutive Witherspoon) “You’re like a little dog I can put in my purse,” her partner, Colombian spitfire Sofia Vergara, comes off as funny as a one-note funeral dirge.

Mad Max: Fury Road Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron HHHH1/2 — Beyond Thunderstruck Taking moviegoers down a Mad-dening Fury-ous road at Max-imum overdrive, this high-octane thrill ride makes for one of the most entertaining popcorn blockbusters to come along in ages. In this R-rated continuation of the post-Apocalyptic thriller series, a nomad named Max (Hardy) teams up with a mysterious rebel leader, Furiosa (Theron), to try and survive in a world in which people fight to the death and oil is the most precious commodity. Like a roller coaster without a brake, the gun battles, fisticuffs and pedal-to-the-metal stunts come at you at a fully automatic clip. What makes the whole two hours so exhilarating, however, is how fresh and vital it all feels. Sure, audiences have been down similar Third World road wars. Hell, they’ve even travelled with a road warrior bearing the same name. You’ve never quite seen anything as entertaining as Mad Max: Fury Road, however. With very little dialogue, Fury Road manages to spin an eye-popping post-Apocalyptic character-driven tale unlike no other — even its Mad Max forebears. It helps that, title notwithstanding, the movie proves to be a double act. Max and Furiosa are compelling enough on their lonesome, but, in teaming up these purpose-driven hard-charging people of action, there’s just as much mystery and intrigue as there is action … and that’s a hell of a lot. Having already demonstrated himself to be a highly expressive fighting man of few words as the villainous Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and as an embattled ex-soldier-turned-MMA fighter in Warrior, Tom Hardy perfectly fits the bill, saying as much with his eyes as with his right hook. Likewise, Charlize Theron brings a ridiculous amount of gravitas and grit to his counterpart, a hard-bitten rebel. Exhibiting more energy than filmmakers one quarter his age, however, original Mad Max director George Miller offers up non-stop racecar-in-the-red action full of grit and spit. Using very little CGI, he stages the souped-up car stunts organically. Indeed, it plays out like a 20-megaton demolition derby locked in top gear from the get-go. It might be 30 years since the last Mad Max (1985’s Beyond Thunderdome), but he more than makes up for lost time. In fact, this is really the only chapter that you need to see.

DVD Mad Max (1979) Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel HHH1/2 — The Passion of the Cripes To prep for the latest A-grade rollicking Mad Max adventure, George Miller’s original deserves a revisit. In this R-rated thriller, a vengeful Australian policeman (Gibson) sets out to stop a violent motorcycle gang in a self-destructing post-apocalyptic world. More grindhouse than post-Apocalypse wheelhouse, this drive-in adrenaline rush established a blockbuster brand and made Mel Gibson a star. It was shot mostly on the cheap, but you wouldn’t know it. Staging Fast & Furious-level hot-rod blockbusting on a Two-Lane Blacktop budget, this origin tale exhibits a biting — albeit offbeat — sense of humor and balletic violence that rightly earned it an instant cult status. Indeed, Mad Max isn’t for everybody. It’s more dialogue driven and stagy than the superior follow-up, The Road Warrior, but it sets a winning grindhouse cinema tone that carries through to this day in top shelf form. Movies like this don’t happen by accident. George Miller made his mark from the get-go by staging some gonzo bedlam. He loves B-movie theatrics, but his mastery of the form evinces a genius level understanding of classic cinema.

you take Dempster Highway. It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling.

The permafrost in the soil makes the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears, and countless birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day. And the tundra? You’ve never seen anything like it. Even if you don’t make a trip like this, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version. With the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author James Joyce wrote Ulysses, one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic stream-of-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only examine this book for evidence.) Joyce claimed he labored over Ulysses for 20,000 hours. That’s the equivalent of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for over seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a project, Aquarius? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land when he was 37 years old.

He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months, Pisces. The old proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans,” has never been so important for you to observe.

After media coverage of the first four robberies, he wore a fake red beard over his real one for the next two. He was arrested anyway after the sixth robbery when a detective recognized his getaway vehicle as the same one used for previous heists.

After the Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ in Milliken, Colo., announced that the restaurant would celebrate White Appreciation Day on June 11 by offering white customers a 10 percent discount, co-owners Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jiminez began receiving threats, including one bomb scare. “It’s been phone calls, it’s been emails, it’s been on social media,” Antillon said.

“Some are just, ‘Hey, you’re an idiot,’ and others have been legit threats.” He added, however, that the messages have been “overwhelmingly positive.” Antillon said the idea for White Appreciation Day was to “highlight a double standard,” where African American and Hispanic Americans have month-long celebrations of their heritage, but he emphasized that the discount would apply to all patrons. All they have to do is ask.

Up Close & personal Brick & Motor: storefront Meets the Highway Samantha Nardelli is taking her show on the road … and her boyfriend… and her dog. Owner of the design company Shanty Town Designs (you might have seen the pastel cityscape that has become synonymous with Arts on the Square), Nardelli plans to drive cross-country gathering and selling crafts along the way with her new adventure “Brick & Motor.” This woman clearly has a love and appreciation for northeast Pennsylvania. Every time she talks about the arts community and those that support it, you can hear the hug in her voice and she wants the rest of the country to feel the same way about the 570. Meet Samantha Nardelli …

What is Shanty Town Design?

Shanty Town is a graphic design company. We work out of Dickson City, but we work with a lot of artists in downtown Scranton. I do a lot of work with ScrantonMade. I do all the promotions for Arts on the Square and Holiday on the Square along with their branding and the cityscape — you’ll see it pop up in a couple places downtown. I do a lot of work with all businesses, other creatives and people like A Daily Obsession — I did their web design. I work with other vendors on their branding and some of their visual marketing. With ScrantonMade, I work with their promotions and getting them ready for these events and making sure people realize that our community in Scranton is awesome and do the visual side of that.

If someone hires you to do an initial web design, what happens next? Do you host or does your part end with the design?

I build the websites. It depends on if they want to go through hosting with me or I can set them up with their own hosting so they can take care of everything. I’ve worked with bloggers before and they usually want to take control of their website after I build it. I work in WordPress mostly, so that people have access to all their files and they can upload their pictures and change things around. I’ll develop it, but I also have a few developers that I work with who do more complex things and the tech side of it.

You’ve launched a new campaign — not “Brick & Mortar,” but “Brick & Motor.” Does Shanty Town have a storefront currently?

I have an office space. It’s right off of my apartment in Dickson City, but it is full office space. You go through the door and I live through that door too, so it’s easy to get to work (laughing), but I meet clients here, so I have all my designs and art studio set up in the storefront. Brick & Motor is going to be an actual storefront. Right now, I don’t sell inventory — it’s just the shop, but I have a connection through ScrantonMade. I’ve made friends over the past few years working with them and with a lot of vendors downtown. I’m going to be taking a lot of those people with me on the road.

I want to take everyone who can’t vend far away and take their work to places they normally couldn’t hit, other than online.

So, it’ll be you, your boyfriend and your beagle on the road?

Yep! Me, my boyfriend, Tim Roxby, and Daisy Lee Flower Donut Nardelli. (Laughing) Yeah, it’s a long one.

And you’re taking a 2001 Dodge Durango, so this has a couple of miles on it …

Yeah. We lucked out actually. It has 69,000 miles on it or something like that. The previous owners, I knew them, and they only drove the truck 700 miles in four years. He has mechanic friends, so they took really good care of it. It’s in pretty decent condition for how old it is.

How far across the U.S. do you plan on going?

We have a little bit of a map and we’re still working out exactly our pinpoints, but our main goal is to leave from Scranton, go down the East Coast, go over to Georgia and then hit the southern

states until we get to California, go all the way up (to Portland, Oregon) and then go through the middle of the United States. That’s the part that we haven’t really figured out: the middle.

What is branding and how is that different from everything else you do?

Branding has a little bit of market research and demographic research that goes into it. I’m working on a project right now with a person I’ve never worked with before in an industry I’ve never worked in before, so I have to do a lot of research to see who their competitors are and what their competitors are currently doing. The new client I’m working with, her demographic is everyone, so I have to make sure that her branding is appealing to the art community in Scranton, so that people won’t pass up on her, but she also wants to target New York City, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, so I have to make sure that the logo I create for her works right across the board.

How long is all that going to take?

Well, we’re thinking that the entire trip is going to take six months to a year, because we don’t want to just pass through a lot of these cities. We want to give ourselves a minute to really get a feel for the community, because we want to pick up vendors as we go along. We want to talk to new people and get them interested in what we’re doing and help them promote us and let us promote them.

Wherever we end up going, we’ll be there for two or three weeks.

When you say, “pick up vendors,” it conjures images of a van with arms and legs sticking out of it, overstuffed with people. When you say “pick up vendors,” what do you mean? Will you pick up passengers?

No, their work. (Laughing) I know, I say that.

That’s so funny, because you’re not the first person to ask me that. “So, like, how big is this trailer?!” One of the big events we want to vend at is Renegade Craft Fair and they have them all over the place. They have them in Chicago and Brooklyn and I think there’s one in Texas and in Los Angeles.

We’ll connect with some of the vendors who are at that event. If they have something that we think works with what we have, we’ll talk to them about doing wholesale or selling us some of their work or if they want to do consignment, we would take their work on the road with us. Then, by the time we get back to Scranton, our trailer will have work from people all over the country — no physical people.

(Laughing) You launched “Brick & Motor” in time for Susquehanna Breakdown. Was that the plan — to have the festival be your inauguration?

We launched the campaign on Thursday or Friday, so we knew we wanted to launch while we were at Susquehanna Breakdown. We met a few vendors who were interested in taking their work on the road with us, but because we’re close with ScrantonMade and people who put on Susquehanna Breakdown, we wanted to help make their event better and bigger. Actually, they don’t really need any help with that. Their guys are awesome. So, we would feed off their event a little bit. I do hand-lettering prints and original pieces, so that was kind of like a tester for how my own work is going to sell.

So far, so good, which was really exciting.

For me, I can work anywhere as long as there’s wi-fi. Tim has a job, but he’s a customer servicetype of person. He was an account manager, so he’s a lot better at that stuff than I am. As a business owner, I’m very disorganized. He is very organized, which is very good.

Scranton has an amazing art and music community and there’s a lot of people in the area that are super supportive of that — people that know it exists — and I just want everyone to know about So, tell us about Miss Daisy! it.

Psychologically sound sTraighT Talk froM syndicaTed coluMnisT aMy alkon The shoo MusT go on I’ve been dating this guy long distance for six months. He’ll often fail to return texts for an entire day or even a few days. I keep breaking up with him, but he keeps apologizing, acknowledging that he can be “distracted” and then offering convincing excuses or making me feel I’m overreacting. This is getting old.

— Annoyed

socks and The ciTy I’m a 31-year-old straight guy. I dress pretty boringly — except for my socks. I go for crazy colors and patterns. My buddy says these make me look “weird” and “less manly.” Come on. Do women really want you to be a carbon copy of every black-sock-wearing dude out there?

— Mr. Fun

Is there some crater somewhere where all his promises go to die?

There is sometimes a good reason your boyfriend can’t return your text for days, like that it’s 790 B.C. and there’s a snowstorm and he’s sending his eunuch with the bum knee over the Alps with a set of stone tablets.

When there is no good reason, his acknowledging an error, like by admitting to being “distracted,” is a first step in mending his ways. That is, except when he shows you — repeatedly — that it’s his only step (perhaps because it’s tricky to text you back when his other, more local girlfriend is sitting right next to him).

Getting somebody to respect your boundaries starts with appearing to have them. Sure, there are sometimes allowances to be made, like for an all-nighter at work or illness. As a friend of mine once wrote: “Sorry I didn’t respond to your email; I was in a coma.” But a man who cares about you generally acts in ways reflecting that — like by dashing off a text to tell you “sleepy - w/write u in am” or “kidnapped. w/be in touch w/ransom demand.” Instead, this guy gives you yet another apology — which basically translates to “Sorry that it’ll be a few days before I can do this to you again.” To have a caring, attentive man, you’ll need to make room for him in your life. You do this the same way you make room for a new TV: by putting the old broken one out on the curb. It’s tempting to keep believing the excuses, which allows you to believe that you’re loved. Unfortunately, believing you’re loved never plays out like actually being loved. The problem is, in the moment, our emotions are our first responder, and reason — that slacker — burrows under the covers, hoping it won’t get called in to work.

Overriding wishful thinking-driven gullibility takes planning — having a pre-packed set of standards for how you want to be treated and then pulling them out at excuse o’clock and holding them up to how you’re actually being treated. This is how you end up with a boyfriend who keeps his word. Keeps it and puts it on his phone and texts it to you — as opposed to keeping it in a drawer with slightly used chopsticks, old answering machine tapes, and a Ziploc baggie of his sister’s hamster’s ashes.

In the sock department, as in other areas, it’s the nuances that count. So, go ahead and make a statement — but maybe one that stops short of “I’m really a Japanese schoolgirl!”

Novelty sock wearing for men has actually been a thing in North America for a few years. The really wacky ones may work as what anthropologists and animal behaviorists call a “costly signal.” This is an extravagant or risky trait or behavior that comes with a substantial price — handicapping a person’s or critter’s survival or chances of mating — thus suggesting that it’s a reliable sign of their quality.

An example is a peacock with a particularly lush (and heavy) tail. His managing to escape predators while dragging around big feathered hindquarters like a train on a royal wedding dress tells peahens (girl peacocks) that he must be a real Chuck Norris among big feathery birds.

Still, there are costly signals — “I’m man enough” — and too-costly signals: “It’s raining men! Hallelujah!” To figure out where the line lies for you, average all the variables: degree of manliness, girliness of sock choice, occupation (like if you’re a British graphic designer or a guy who goes to work in oversize red shoes), and the eccentricity level of the women you like. But keep in mind that certain socks are risky for any man, such as -- and yes, these actually exist — Superman insignia socks, complete with tiny red capes attached. Sure, let your socks tell a woman that you want to take her home with you — but maybe not so you can tear off all your clothes and make her watch as you play with your action figures in your Superman Underoos.
