5 great things to do this week

#1

rucker rises

#2

the chandelier shines on

Once primarily known as the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman and now known as one of the biggest solo acts in country music, Darius Rucker returns to the 570 for another summer performance. On Friday, May 29, Rucker brings his “Southern Style” tour to the Pavilion at Montage Mountain with Brett Eldredge, Brothers Osborne and Nashville-based outfit, A Thousand Horses. The show kicks off at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $25 to $44.75, plus fees and are available at the box office, livenation.com and (800) 745-3000.

The “Southern Style” tour is in support of Rucker’s latest record, which shares the same name.

“To me, the South means a laid-back lifestyle, beaches, family and being able to have a good time when you want to,” Rucker said in a recent release.

“In Charleston, where I’m from, nobody’s in a rush to get anywhere. And there’s a mentality that there’s room for everybody. So with these songs, I wanted to bring out the way I live, the way my friends live, and all the things that are important to us.” — tg

Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter visits the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts “Live from the Chandelier Lobby” concert series this Thursday, May 28, at 7:30 p.m., with special guest Barnstar.

Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “one of the 10 most exciting artists” on the touring circuit right now, Ritter continues to hit the road in support of his breakthrough release, The Beast in its Tracks.

“In the year after my marriage ended, I realized that I had more new songs than I’d ever had at one time,” Ritter said in a recent release. “Far from the grand, sweeping feel of the songs on (2010’s) So Runs the World Away, these new songs felt like rocks in the shoe, hard little nuggets of whatever they were, be it spite, remorse, or happiness.”

In 2011, Ritter made his debut as a published author with his New York Times bestselling novel, Bright’s Passage (Dial Press/Random House).

Tickets can be purchased at the Kirby Center Box Office, by phone at (570) 826-1100 and online at kirbycenter.org. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show, plus fees. — tg

Four CoursEs, ThrEE ComiCs

Just when you thought you were palooza’d out, the groovy people up at Mountain Sky introduce a festival deserving of the suffix. Thirteen bands, including Gypsy Wagon, Jung Bergo, Mock Sun, Rogue Chimp, Pale Green Stars, Russello Project and Skip Monday (above) are scheduled to perform on the main stage of the family-friendly Nepapalooza running Friday, May 28, at 5 p.m. through Saturday, May 29, while another 10 acts are lined up to play the Camp Rattler Stage and Sideshow. Tickets are $45 at the gate and include BYOB camping with community fire pits available. Kids age 12 and younger are admitted free. You can also find food and craft vendors on site. Mountain Sky is located at the end of Still Meadow Lane off Route 107 between I-81 and Merli-Sarnoski Park in Scott Township. Visit mountainsky.net for more information. — ag

Among the joke books in which actress and comedian Stacy Prussman (staceyprussman. com) has been published are Filthy Fun and Totally Offensive (Jeffrey Gurian) and Squeaky Clean (Judy Brown). She’ll probably dish out a little of both kinds of humor next week when she headlines “An Evening of Peculiar Comedy” on Wednesday, June 3, at the Peculiar Catering and Event Center on Center Street in Hughestown. The native New Yorker and former Howard Stern show actress is a motivational speaker and animal rescue advocate when she’s not making people laugh and was also quoted in Rosemarie Jarski’s book Words From The Wise, 6000 of the Smartest Things Ever Said.

Special guests include Mike Bocchetti and featured comic Evan Weiss. The four-course dinner by Peculiar Culinary Co. will be served at 7 p.m., with the show running from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Also on the four-course dinner menu is a beer tasting by 3 Guys & A Beer’d (additional drinks are BYOB) and Blue Elephant Cupcakes. Tickets are $45. Call (570) 947-2548 for reservations. — ag

Adriana takes it very personally. She will do anything to reclaim her husband’s love and to ‘establish him in his true sense again.’”

The character can come off as “a stereotypical shrew whose nagging encourages her husband’s bad behavior,” Strayer said, but she has dug a little deeper to find a woman who truly loves and cares for her husband but struggles with how to express it. Karin Mappes plays Adriana’s older sister, Luciana. This is her fifth Ghostlight Shakespeare production, but the first time she has played a romantic lead. The scene in Act Three, scene two in which the man she believes to be her brother-in-law confesses his love for her is awkward, she said and requires notable emotional energy.

It is among the director’s favorites.

“She’s trying to argue on behalf of her sister and the way I’ve always looked at this character is that she has such an ideal of what love and marriage should be in her mind and this person who she thinks is her GhostlIGht produCtIons staGes shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of errors’ at south abInGton park brother-in-law and married to her sister is ruining that ideal for her,” Kemmerer said. pose to be. Confusion arises when people mistake and magic tricks.”

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

San Andreas Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino In this PG-13-rated actioner, a rescue-chopper pilot (Johnson) makes a dangerous journey across California in order to rescue his estranged daughter (Alexandra Daddario) in the aftermath of a massive earthquake. The Plus: The player. After years of dishing his signature “People’s Elbow” move on countless testosterone-fueled WWE opponents, H’Wood found a place for pro wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: franchise rejuvenation. With Fast Five, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Rock stepped into three series that were thought to be long past their sell-by dates and banked these franchises’ biggest paydays yet. Here, he’s headlining a disaster flick, a popular sub-genre that’s cleaned up over the years given the right property (The Day After Tomorrow, 2012). Here, he stars alongside Gugino (Fox’s Wayward Pines), Daddario (HBO’s True Detective) and Paul Giamatti (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) under the direction of Brad Peyton (Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore). The Minus: The odds.

Outside of already proven franchises, the Rock has not had any luck in establishing new success stories (Faster, Pain & Gain, Hercules). Also, the disaster flicks listed above were both directed by Roland Emmerich, who’s known for movies of this ilk. Even Paul W.S. Anderson, who shepherded the Resident Evil series, stumbled with last year’s Pompeii. Johnson’s Journey 2 director, Peyton, doesn’t boast nearly the credentials.

Poltergeist Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt HH — Falter Geist “They’re back” for another round of walking away from the light, only the holey ghosts of this Poltergeist remake offer up some legitimate scares, but little else to truly make it memorable in the shadow of its much superior original. In this PG-13-rated remake of the 1982 horror classic, a family’s suburban home gets invaded by evil forces. From the handheld video game-playing outset, this horror tale tries distinguishing itself far and wide from the 1982 that thankfully serves as forebear. The hallmarks of Steven Spielberg’s story remain high points. A lot of judicious tweaks make the proceedings more current, but the classic didn’t exactly feel that dated. Outside of a contractual obligation, there was no reason to redo a proven horror scarer. Leaner but not meaner, this shorter version brings nothing new or more frightening to the screen, despite sporting a higher rating. With a PG, the nearly 34 year-old version scares up far more style, laughs and spine-tingling moments. Great casting and humor play a part in both, but the first uses these strong points to better effect (Jared Harris is an amazing actor but can’t hold a candle to diminutive Southern ghostbuster Zelda Rubenstein). Oh, you’ll definitely jump a few times in Poltergeist 2.0 but it should be to rent the standard. It’s a shame because following his excellent work on the Amblin-flavored cartoon Monster House, director Gil Kenan definitely exhibits a great feel for horror. Always indelible on screen, Sam Rockwell is always the most compelling actor in an onscreen lineup. Here, He tries acting his way around deviations from classic lines like “They’re here” and “This house is clean,” but it’s just A-grade window dressing on a C-grade haunted house.

NOW PLAYING 28 M a y 2 8 , 2 0 1 5

Aloha Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams In this PG-13-rated dramedy from writer-director Cameron Crowe (Say Anything, Singles), a celebrated military contractor (Cooper) returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and reconnects with a long-ago love (McAdams) while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him (Emma Stone). The Plus: The players. Thrice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in as many years (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, American Sniper), Cooper is that rare movie star who’s also a critical darling. Here, in working under the vaulted tutelage of Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous), he gets paired with a hot cast that includes McAdams (A Most Wanted Man), Stone (Birdman), Bill Murray (St. Vincent), John Krasinski (Promised Land), Danny McBride (HBO’s Eastbound & Down), Jay Baruchel (This is the End) and Alec Baldwin (Still Alice). The Minus: The odds. In the wake of Almost Famous, Crowe turned out three divisive films (Vanilla Sky, Elizabethtown, We Bought a Zoo) that didn’t translate into boffo box office despite an amazing marquee of stars attached.

/ENTERTAINMENT

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 highoctane 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 had 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 might be 30 years since the last Mad Max (1985’s Beyond Thunderdome), but writer-director George Miller more than makes up for lost time. In fact, this is really the only chapter that you need to see.

SMALL SCREENS

Tomorrowland George Clooney, Britt Robertson HH1/2 — Dredge of Tomorrow Taking moviegoers to parts still unknown, Disney’s once highly secretive, modern interpretation of Uncle Walt’s futuristic Tomorrowland boasts interesting concepts and effects, but a hopelessly muddled narrative. 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. Why put off Tomorrowland when you can see it today? Well, the movie’s simply not that great. Oh, it proves wonderfully inventive in parts ... just not in the right order. The story behind this Dreamporium unfurls in a fragmented fashion that soon loses your interest. Audiences are already intrigued. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have a bought a ticket. Rather than wowing them with a consistently intriguing and thrilling backstory for this space-age love song, however, the whole production ends up being unnecessarily plodding and complex. Win: Over the course of Tomorrowland, we discover that this titular place is a parallel world where the greatest inventors can go and work on their life-changing theories unencumbered by war, bureaucracy and/or pessimism … only we now live in an age of fewer dreamers (the budget cuts of NASA play a prominent role). Loss: It takes nearly two confounding hours to explain what should’ve been an easy-to-digest piece of popcorn — something Interstellar did to better effect while juggling numerous other themes. Worse, the script keeps one of the world’s biggest superstars hidden away until well into the second act. Soon after, we see the foundation of Tomorrowland represented by a secret Eiffel Tower exhibit featuring waxworks of Jules Verne, Thomas Edison and Nicolai Tesla, among others. Seeing this founding dramatized would’ve provided more entertainment and interest than all of the needless exposition that resulted instead. The funny thing is, Brad Bird knows blockbusters, having directed one phenomenal animated flick (The Incredibles) and one excellent live action adventure (Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol). What’s more, his coscreenwriter Damon Lindelof (Star Trek Into Darkness, ABC’s Lost) knows good writing, only he can’t fully mine one from Jeff Jenson’s story. As always in fine form even with substandard material, George Clooney appears in the outset in a tagged-on prologue but it’s not enough to explain away his absence for more than half of the flick. His latest effort exhibits great vision and morals, but the whole she-bang needs to present them in a clearer fashion.

DVD Poltergeist (1982) JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson HHHH — Amityville Honors To prep for the C-Grade Poltergeist remake, Tobe Hooper’s superior original definitely deserves a revisit. In this PG-rated classic slice of horror, the Freling family’s home gets haunted by a host of ghosts. Short, sweet and grippingly to the point, Poltergeist is a straight-head haunted house tale told with great humor and verve. Brilliantly directed and tautly scripted, the film wastes not a second of your time, bringing on the terror early on in the first act and never letting up. Even then (E.T. got released the same year), Steven Spielberg knew the makings of great entertainment and his story connects with the audience on every level. You laugh with the Frelings and laugh often, building a camaraderie that makes their daughter’s abduction and mother’s love all the more compelling. Indeed, even when the cadavers fly at you, Poltergeist feels more like a fun house than haunted house. Building on what made 1974’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre so bone-rattlingly scary, Hooper uses tracking shots and off-kilter angles to ratchet up the thrills. With a PG, he amazingly scores some of the most organic boos in cinematic history (it honestly feels R-rated sometimes). Of course, genius casting plays no small part as well.

Williams as the mother, Heather O’Rourke as the daughter and Zelda Rubenstein as the paranormal investigator leave such an indelible mark that version 2.0 never stood a chance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The soul moves in circles,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus. Modern psychologist James Hillmans agreed, and added this thought: “Hence our lives are not moving straight ahead; instead, hovering, wavering, returning, renewing, repeating.” I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because you’re now in an extra-intense phase of winding and rambling. This is a good thing! You are spiraling back to get another look at interesting teachings you didn’t master the first time around. You are building on past efforts that weren’t strong enough. Your words of power are crooked, gyrate, curvy, labyrinthine, and corkscrew.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s no coincidence that your libido and your mojo are booming at the same time. Your libido is in the midst of a deep, hearty awakening, which is generating a surplus of potent, super-fine mojo.

I invite you to adopt that breezy, lazy attitude in the coming weeks. It’s high time for you to slip into a very comfortable, laidback mood . . . to give yourself a lot of slack, explore the mysteries of dreamy indolence, and quiet down the chirpy voices in your head.

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane I’ve grown to love caramel malts. The sweet toastiness it contributes to beer has become one of my favorite flavors in those carbonated beverages. While caramel is certainly an apt name for the type of grain, it doesn’t cover the whole picture. There is plenty of burnt sugar sweetness. There is also a pretzel-like flavor hiding in its background, cutting through the sweet with a savoriness somewhat akin to salt or rye. It makes sense, as malt is also a prevalent ingredient in German bread as well.

This sweet and savory goes well with stronger brews. When a beer is strong enough, the burn it creates can be an unpleasant experience.

Don’t get me wrong — I love a high ABV for its own sake, but I do like a good-tasting beer.

Caramel malts do a great job of balancing that burn, burying some of its hardness in a really satisfying taste experience.

I mention this fixation on tasty malt for a reason. This week’s brew, Avery Brewing’s DuganA, exhibits these qualities quite well. The brew is made with two row barley, dark aromatic malt and caramel malt. This was certainly a deliberate decision. As far as the malt in the beer goes, it is a great mix. The two row provides a common malt backbone that is sweetened nicely by the caramel malt. It then uses the dark aromatic to transition to its bitter hop end. Its a great use of variety for a single taste experience, each malt supporting the other ones in such a fashion that nothing seems out of place.

Oddly, this beer is an IPA. Usually the hops take the center stage in such a style. While certainly present, they serve to accentuate the malt rather than becoming the focal point. Even though they take second place, there is still a lot going on with them. These hops do more than just add bitter. They give a great deal of piney and resinous flavors to the mix as well.

Just as the malt cuts the alcohol, the hops cut the malt, keeping the brew from becoming too sweet or cloying.

The brew didn’t look bad either. A single finger of head rested upon a light copper colored brew. It was the shade of translucent pennies.

The hops really came through in the scent, adding citrus, herb, pine and floral notes in the nose. I could also smell the toasted caramel malt as well and a scent reminiscent of rye.

One could find most of what was present in the taste with a sniff if you tried a bit.

Avery made a nice take on an IPA. DuganA provides more than your standard American Style Indian Pale Ale, focusing on more than just bitter. It’s rare that I feel the need to comment on the malt profile of this style of beer, but DuganA manages to find a balance that not many brews do. It would go well with a rich, creamy dish, such as some cream soups or pizza. This brew would do great at cutting through some oil or dairy, cleansing the mouth for the next bite.

It also does just fine on its own, of course.

After brewing for more than two decades, Avery has certainly figured out how to do it well. Grab yourself a DuganA. It’s a pleasure to drink.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I’m originally from Roaring Brook Township, located near Moscow. I attended North Pocono High School and then Kutztown University, where I studied drawing and painting, graduating with a dual degree.

I’ve been involved in art since I was little. It was just my thing to do. All of my art teachers — going all the way back to my elementary school years — influenced my love for art. My whole family is very artistic. They definitely encouraged me to strive to do better with my art. I was given something to start with at a young age and I’m still honing my own artistry when it comes to my art, which is a process that keeps growing over the years through my drawings, paintings and photography.

Talk a little bit about your art.

I love drawing, painting and photography.

Photography is the main moneymaker, but I’ve been pretty successful with the other two as well. I had my first show [outside of the college-show scene] at the Susquehanna Breakdown.

Psychologically sound sTraighT Talk From syndicaTed columnisT amy alkon The File high club A year ago, a co-worker I had a crush on made moves on me after hours at work and we stopped just short of having sex. I saw him as a potential boyfriend and I emphasized that I was not interested in casual sex. He told me at the time that he had broken up with his girlfriend, but two days later said they’d made up.

Several times since, when his relationship has been on the rocks, he’s suggested we have sex. I told him I want no physical contact with him ever again and now he rarely speaks to me, despite seeing me daily at work. I considered him a friend, so I’m devastated he took advantage of me and was only interested in cheating. I’m finding it really hard to heal and move on.

— Disturbed If there’s a next logical step after late-night office sexytime, it probably isn’t “Now that we’re done despoiling the conference table, let’s go meet each other’s parents!”

Remember dating? People who want relationships — especially female people who aren’t up for anything less — go on dates before they go on the conference table. This isn’t to say women should never have after-hours fun with some guy at work; it’s just that if you want a relationship, having sex before he gets emotionally attached is a risky strategy — one that often leads to just sex. Or just sex whenever his relationship is on the rocks.

Sure, you “emphasized” that you don’t want casual sex — a statement that probably buzzed on papery little wings around the guy’s ear before getting squished by his sex drive. Women evolved to be the Missouri of human sexuality — Missouri’s nickname being “the Show-Me State.” Women protect themselves by being what evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss call “commitment skeptics” — holding off having sex while seeking evidence of a man’s willingness to invest (beyond an evening of semi-naked fun in a desk chair). As for men, research by psychologists Russell Clark and Elaine Hatfield confirms what most of us have observed numerous times: As long as a woman has a moderate level of attractiveness, a man’s likely to want to have sex with her. In other words, while women are the sexual gatekeepers, for men, there is no gate. There isn’t even a fence.

Sure, it’s disappointing when a man you’re picturing in the “future boyfriend” slot just wants to have sex. But feeling insulted about that is like my feeling insulted that my five-pound dog tries to have sex with my arm — apparently some sort of odd biological imperative that my arm and I don’t take personally.

To move on, turn this into a learning experience so you can protect yourself in the future. This starts with admitting that you got sucked in not because of something this guy did but because you let ego and emotion do the driving while reason was gagged, hogtied and left for dead in the trunk. Accept that it’s your responsibility to vet whether a situation would ultimately work for you instead of leaving the guardianship of your needs to others — others whose agenda may not match yours. Yes, I’m hinting that many men will tell a woman just about anything to get sex. (Just ask a man whose grandma has died suddenly and tragically…dozens of times.)

Feral hugs After casual sex, why do some men spend all night spooning and cuddling? This just happened for the second time and it really messes with my head. My nesting inclination kicks in and I start fantasizing about engagement rings. And I’m not some needy little thing.

— Confused It’s like when the plane’s landing gear is malfunctioning and a person grabs the hand of the stranger seated next to them … not because that person means something to them, but because it feels better than possibly dying alone in a fiery explosion.

Casual sex, like grain alcohol and ladies’ clingy knitwear, isn’t for everyone. In research by anthropologist John Marshall Townsend, many women who just wanted sex from a guy still woke up the morning after with worries like “Does he care about me?” and “Is sex all he was after?” This is perhaps because of the release of the bonding hormone oxytocin — upon orgasm or from intense cuddling. (In men, testosterone goes all defensive lineman, tackling the oxytocin and blocking it from getting to its receptor.) Understanding this may lead you to rethink hooking up. At the very least, you should take precautions for safe sex — like asking “Where’s the fire escape?” and telling a guy about the tender talk you need immediately afterward …such as “You can let yourself out” and “Don’t forget to leave the parking pass in my mailbox.”

Forage Space @ForageSpace Nothing says love like treating your mother to a pint of Bud Light at The Irish Wolf.

Heather M. Davis @HDCinema I don’t know how crazy your Saturday night is, but I just couldn’t decide between two types of clog remover so I bought both.

we look back at soMe of our favorite tweets froM the 570.coM twitter feed

May 2015

Tina @TeenyTinyTina96 “My ex husband is being a douche, as usual. That was the day I punched Chris” overheard @McDonalds #nepa

Jack Hambrose @hack_jambrose At least it’s a short week? bryne.lewis @brynelewis Love morning office on the porch. Except the part when I walk thru last night’s spider webs. *shudder* Michaelina Trapane @michaelinat I love when people challenge me to a race and my car destroys their car so easily.

Shannon Murphy @MurphysLawTV11 I have an entire day to myself and I’m spending it cleaning and I couldn’t be happier albert martino @almartino Having a battle of cover bands is kind of like having an art contest of tracing

Dwight K. Schrute @DwightSchrute_ And I did not become a Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff’s deputy to make friends. And by the way, I haven’t.

Johnny Beefstew @johnnybeefstew I’ve become a bad 80s suburban stereotype when it comes to my lawn

Paul laquintano @PaulLaQuintano Writing. And thinking about fixing that ceiling tile.

But I won’t.

Stewie @darlingstewie LOL @ the people in Thai Thai who give me my food in a nice Tupperware with a lid, like I’m not going to finish it in one sitting

Will Beekman @WillBeekman Wrapping up this #MemorialDay with Field of Dreams. It doesn’t get any better. Oh wait, Bull Durham would be better. But this is nice too.

Sheli McHugh @shelitwits There’s a fly in my office. I feel like Walter White.

John F. Heil @GeekAwwwYeah If you go to Supercuts just tell them you want it to look like you regret getting your haircut there. They are amazing at it. whiskeybacon @whiskey_bacon Why are so many #nepa bar closed on a monday?

And a holiday to boot!

The Menzingers @themenzingers Resolve your grudges before they eat you alive from the inside Jenn Martin @JennM14 First campfire of Summer. #MemorialDay #family #NEPA #campfire

Seriously Scranton @ScrantonSrsly Remember when you wake up that Monday is Tuesday, black is white and Scranton is on the ascendancy.

elizabeth davis @elidavis I’ve seen the future me and I’m only annoyed about the Piña colada she ordered.

Kilgore Trout @Mister_Trout Just saw a radioactive squirrel making a PB&J in the back yard.

Freedlove @shopfreedlove if you’re reading this, buy me tacos. erin marie @EKynett Ugh I’m having a nice relaxing lunch break when a spider crawls down my leg Jill Grudzinski @jgrudz It’s snowing pollen Marie Jaskulka @SeeMarieWrite OMG. I posted that I’d be SINGING at @OsterhoutLib on May 15, 2015, but I meant SIGNING! #worstwritermistakeEVER #NeedAnEditorSTAT #NEPA Hal Donahue @haldonahue Too many people want to ‘be somebody’ rather than ‘do something’ .

Paul Spratt @PaulSpratt The evolution of fashion is heading rapidly towards pajamas #fashion #pajamas Chuck Bujno @ChuckBujno I’m old enough to remember if anyone told you a company would put water in a bottle & charge you for it, you would think they were crazy.

Scott Schaffer @schafferwnep I didn’t vote today.

Not because I don’t want to, but because Pa. won’t let Independents vote in primary elections.

I renew my objection!!!

Mike Genovese @frenchie_brah Getting home drunk at 3 and realizing your bed sheets and comforter are still in the dryer... Worst feeling ever.

sam kuchwara @samuelniles Moving out as an art major aka basically fitting a small house into our car

Jeannine Luby @laughinglu That’s how I define a nice #run: more five o’clock shadow hotties than swinging ponytails. About time.

Kristen Peterman @CallMeKP I want to get married in a Wegman’s Café.

Navin @navinator24 Let go or be dragged. #LifeLesson

Fergie Ferg @lish_n_chips If I die during my exam do I automatically pass Kilgore Trout @Mister_Trout Mad Men is over? I really meant to start watching that. Oh well.

Rock107’s Prospector @107Prospector All this time I thought Mad Men was a documentary series about serial killers. I missed the boat on that one!

Stewie @darlingstewie Seeing so many talented artists in the area really makes me proud to be here, but I know we can do better with our city. #wilkesbarre #nepa Betty Montgomery @howcharismatic Why do I listen to Titanic the musical when I know I’m going to cry ...

John Webster @webster1114 Harry Shearer is leaving The Simpsons and people are wringing their hands. There have been three Fred Flintstones in my life. I got past it.

Gary Ryman @GaryRyman Can’t wait until the primaries in #nepa are over. I swear there are more yard signs than tulips in lawns here.

Forage Space @ForageSpace I just experienced post office yoga in #scranton Kevin McDonough @ForKevinSake I just welled up over an Aleve commercial while tying my shoes, so this ought to be a rational Tuesday.

Jack Hambrose @hack_jambrose I’m not complaining about the weather, but I would have liked a few weeks of 70’s before skipping to 80’s and 90’s Navin @navinator24 While archiving the news I’ve come to realize a lot of NEPA female criminals have absolutely horrible dye jobs. Woof.

JrsyGrl @GoodNghtIrene #Twitter: Pointing out the world’s faults since 2006 hey Bosh @TheBosha “There’s nobody like your mom...nobody” sighs your dad, still quietly sad that only one woman ever agreed to have sex with him.
