It’s time to gas up the tank and pack your vehicles with your most trusted puzzle-solving sleuths.

The Pop Up Studio presents “The Hunt 2015” this Saturday, June 27, in Scranton. The hunt begins at 5 p.m.

“The Hunt” is a scavenger hunt inspired by the people, history and architecture of Scranton. According to a press release, participants will explore “aspects of the city often overlooked while cruising the streets with your besties.” The first clue comes by text, leading you to a series of strategically located experiences, with the final clue taking you to the finish line where you will be rewarded for your efforts. “The Hunt” is a free event ($20 donation per team if you’re feeling generous) and is open to all ages. Some working knowledge of the city is recommended, but not required.

Register your team (minimum size is two member, maximum size is a carload) at thehuntison. bpt.me. Once all teams are registered, thorough instructions will be emailed to the team leaders.

Returning to Riverside Park in Tunkhannock to help the town celebrate Founders’ Day for the eighth year in a row, Harrisburg’s Gamut Theatre Group presents Hamlet in the new pavilion on Saturday, June 27, at 7 p.m. The troupe’s 90-minute version of Shakespeare’s play is interpreted with modern sensibilities, including a soundtrack featuring the music of Jay-Z, Kanye West, Alt-J, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sigur Ros and other contemporary artists. “It is set in a new context, but it preserves the integrity of the story and the words,” a release for the event clarified, promising the adaptation would be “totally relatable to today’s teenagers and adults.” Literary scholar Bill Chapla will speak briefly about the play before the show at approximately 6:45 p.m. Admission is free of charge. Bring blankets or lawn chairs. Call 570-996-1500 for more information. — ag

Kid Rock brings his “$20 Best Night Ever” tour to The Pavilion at Montage Mountain, this Saturday, June 27. Tickets to the concert, which starts at 6:45 p.m., are a flat $20, plus fees, and available at the amphitheater box office, online at livenation.com and by phone at 800-745-3000.

Classic rock legends Foreigner and Packway Handle Band serve as the night’s opening act. Kid Rock will once again be backed by his Twisted Brown Trucker Band.

Attendees will also be able to enjoy $4 draft beer, $20 concession packages, a $20 tour T-shirt and free parking beginning at 3 p.m.

Rock is touring in support of his latest record, First Kiss. According to a recent release, “First Kiss signals the continued evolution of one of music’s most versatile performers, but we’re not going to tell you what it sounds like — we just couldn’t do it justice and we’re confident the music will speak for itself.”

With more than a few platinum records under his belt and a string of packed summer shows on the road ahead, Rock and company seem ready for their return to Montage Mountain.

CuRtAiN CALL ACtoRs CiRCLE hopEs to CAtCh AN AuDiENCE foR oRigiNAL pLAys this summER laywright Art Walsh wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s not really a writer, but once the characters he’s crafted start speaking, he told electric city, feels more like a stenograpgher.

Opening Thursday, June 25, at Providence Playhouse in Scranton, To Catch a Cheat is one of nine or more scripts he’s penned over the years.

It seemed to come out of nowhere, the playwright said, as it’s not what he had in mind when he first sat down to write. The two-act comedy follows a private detective whose real name may or may not be Philip Dietz and who may or may not actually be as sleazy as he seems. Tired of “getting punched in the nose” for a living, he decides to upgrade his business and rents a penthouse office apartment to serve only wealthy clients convinced their wives are cheating on them. His m.o. is to seduce the wives in order to collect the evidence and the result is comedy.

Retired University of Scranton English professor John McInerney told Walsh the play was a restoration comedy in that it “everyone who acts badly gets their comeuppance in the end.” Scranton playwright, K.K. Gordon, told Walsh that Cheat would make a great porn film. “Except there’s no actual sex in it,” Walsh laughed. The humor includes “a lot of double entendres,” he said.

Deborah Buck plays Dietz’s “right hand/secretary/ partner,” while Linda Griffiths is the first “victim,” in an early seduction scene, he said of his cast. Andrew Warnock and Jeff Ginsberg play two of the husbands who hire Dietz and playwright and director Courtney McCready Art Walsh. as one of the wives.

Also featured are April Holgate as Mona and Brink Powell as Cookie.

It’s not the first time Walsh has directed his own work. His play A Little Murder on the Side was first presented 12 years ago by Diva Theater under the direction of Paige Balistski. When he presented it again two years ago for Actors Circle, he directed it himself.

“I’ve learned over time to be able to step back,” he said. “Really good actors can help you create a

P

Eric Lutz as private detective philip Dietz. better work.”

He’s found being able to look at his work as a director rather than as the author a freeing experience.

“You’re not bound by obligation to the author to stay close to the script,” he said. “When you can let go and not hold every word like a precious child then you can learn and (the actors) can experiment.”

Mistakes the actors made and a few of their ad libs were later incorporated into his script. Of course, he noted, it took many years of experience both as a director and writer to get to a place where this could happen Walsh is grateful for the opportunity Actors Circle has given him to staged his plays. It’s a deal for them, he said, because they aren’t paying royalties but it’s put pressure on him to “pick his babies carefully,” and choose the works he thinks the Providence Playhouse crowd most likely to embrace. The downside, he laughed, is that if that he could create competition for himself if his productions are successful and the company is inspired to produce more work by original playwrights.

To Catch a Cheat runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays 2 p.m. June 25 through July 5, except July 4, at Providence Playhouse in Scranton. Tickets range from $6 to $12. Call 570-342-9707 for reservations or visit actorscircle.org for more information.

JAMIE T — Carry on the Grudge THE GOOD: British singer/rapper Jamie T is back after a five-year hiatus with his third set.

THE BAD: Too much of a stylistic shift?

THE NITTY GRITTY: The man always blurred the lines between underground rap and electronic-leaning indie rock with blistering anthems like “Sheila” and “The Man Machine.” Grudge finds the guy leaving a lot (but not all) of the hip-hop behind, thus making the album less “distinct.” In fact, a lot of the new tracks come off as a “poor man’s Arctic Monkeys.” Not necessarily bad and still very British, but the man has made better.

At the same time though, the record showcases another side of T, slightly more subtle and tempered. Songs like “Turn on the Light” and “Love is Only a Heartbeat Away” are more emotional than past efforts. Longtime fans shouldn’t panic though. Cuts such as “Zombie” and “Rabbit Hole” still carry a funky bite and a strident attitude that just won’t quit.

BUY IT?: You decide.

“Sing to Me” are gentler and more introspective.

“Something’s Coming” is a burst of slightly foreboding fun. Mood swings are not uncommon. But that’s the appeal. Policy ends up just as intriguing as the man’s work with AF. BUY IT?: Sure.

MIKAL CRONIN — MCIII THE GOOD: Indie singer/songwriter Mikal Cronin gives us a richer fuller third.

THE BAD: Three is more “progressive” than the man’s previous records. That’s only “bad” depending upon your mood (and attention span).

THE NITTY GRITTY: Cronin knows his way around a great melody. Personally, I’m immediately reminded of Matthew Sweet (in style, not necessarily voice) and late ’60s/early ’70s wonder boy Emmit Rhodes.

Three embraces bolder arrangements; Cronin not shying away from a tasteful string or horn arrangement when it adds depth. Yet the man also occasionally punches things up with some welcome guitar noise. Whether it’s the stringtinged and jangly “Turn Around,” the fragile simmering “I’ve Been Loved” or the more direct WILL BUTLER — Policy “Feel Like,” the collection’s first half is both THE GOOD: Arcade Fire member Will Butler diverse and confident.

SCREENS

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

NOW PLAYING

OPENING THIS WEEK

Ted 2 Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried In this R-rated comedy, newlywed couple Ted (voice of Seth MacFarlane) and Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he’s a person in a court of law. The Plus: The player. Sure, big-time H’Wood live action directors have tried their hand at cartoons before (Robert Zemekis: Beowulf; Steven Spielberg: The Adventures of Tin Tin), but what about vice-versa? Hell yes. Shrek director Andrew Adamson helmed The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, The Incredibles director Brad Bird directed the blockbuster smash Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol and Seth MacFarlane, the mind behind Fox’s animated comedies Family Guy and American Dad, helmed Ted to the tune of $550 million worldwide. For the sequel, he’s got Wahlberg (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Seyfried (Les Miserables), Giovanni Ribisi (Gangster Squad), Morgan Freeman (Lucy), Liam Neeson (Taken 3), Barth (Get Smart) and Dennis Haysbert (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For). The Minus: The odds. MacFarlane followed up Ted with A Million Ways to Die in the West, which died at the box office in more areas than just the west.

Jurassic World Chris Pratt, Dallas Bryce-Howard HHHH — Dino Mite A Mecha-Godzilla-sized amusement ride of action and adventure that outdoes even Godzilla, this Jurassic shot to the arm takes Steven Spielberg’s series out of Park and gives moviegoers the World. Call it the summer of franchise rejuvenation. In this PG-13-rated sci-fi adventure set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park, a deadly new attraction gets created to re-spark visitor’s interest in order to fulfill a corporate mandate … only plans backfire horribly. Like the dinosaurs it features, this designer monster hit has the best attributes of the series threaded through its DNA and makes many nods to the original. The trailers make these Easter eggs seem unwieldy, but they get dispensed evenly throughout the running time. The script smartly turns the 22-year-old failed amusement park into a megalithic corporate cash-in, Verizon and Fed Ex sponsoring the attractions like an actual theme park.

Sure, it’s a money grab ... only the specific product placement serves this tale of corporate greed exceedingly well. Full of great humor and character, the goings-on play out in probable course: Money-grubbing opportunists probably would reopen the park and ratchet up the extravaganza and risk in a real-world scenario. Sure, some of the characters and plot points flirt with becoming stock, but director/co-screenwriter Colin Trevorrow knows how far to push these boundaries before scaling back. His beast is as exciting as it is smart with SFX that make Land of the Lost look like a reality.

Inside Out Voices of Amy Poehler, Bill Hader HHHH — Emotional Rescue Taking moviegoers in and out and shaking all about a young girl to her emotional core, Pixar’s awe-strikingly creative latest charts among the studio’s best and ballsiest. In this G-rated animated flick, a young girl’s emotions get plunged into chaos as they compete for control of her mind after she leaves her friends and moves to a new home across the country. Talk about cerebral. Of course, Pixar always appeals to gray matter as much as the funny bone, but this psychological amusement park ride takes it to a whole other level.

You know how people knock small jobs with the dismissive expression ‘It isn’t brain surgery’? Well, Inside Out kind of IS brain surgery.

It’s no small job to literally characterize emotions and show how they have to work together to form a well-balanced person. But this inventive family flick accomplishes this and elicits a great deal of true emotion from the audience as well. Oh, some of the Junior Freud explanations might confuse younger moviegoers, but the writers do an expert job of breaking down a rational animal into a team sport.

The sputtering breakdown Cars 2 notwithstanding, Pixar vows to never releases a feature until it’s as good a film as the animation house is capable of creating. Inside Out proves no exception to this rule, succeeding on most every level. Informative without being too brainy and funny without being too pedestrian, the film nonetheless represents a huge gamble for Pixar. It takes one of their most expert craftsmen and biggest risk-takers, to mold and shape this high-concept cartoon into a highly entertaining biology lesson. Pete Docter (Up) deserves much credit for thinking outside of the box by going inside the head. Thankfully, in Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear and Sadness, he gives us amazing characters with — ironically — a good amount of emotional depth. A pitch-perfect voice cast including Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader and Phyllis Smith, however, colors in these colorful characters all the more.

/enTerTainMenT

sMall sCreens Mission: iMpossible Quadrilogy (1996 - 2011) In anticipation of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation bowing in cinemas on July 31st, Paramount is releasing the first four chapters — a series that improbably got better as it went along — on Blu-Ray. This message will selfdestruct.

Mission: Impossible (1996) Tom Cruise, Jon Voight HH1/2 — Jerry McGuffin An overly twisty spy game that tries keeping the style of the TV series while spinning off in its own direction, this mission boasts some exciting set pieces but commits an unforgivable cardinal sin. In this PG-13-rated spy thriller, an American agent (Cruise), under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization. Three whipsmart screenwriters take part (David Koepp, Spider-Man; Steven Zallian, Schindler’s List; Robert Towne, Chinatown), but the often unwieldy plot involving an elusive disc exposing a list of IMF (Impossible Mission Force) superspies proves a case of too many cooks — in this place, top chefs — spoiling the broth. As convoluted as the

double-crossing ends up to be, the most headscratching backstab proves to be the turning TV stalwart Jim Phelps into the villain (indeed, original Phelps actor Peter Graves wouldn’t take part because of this infraction). Despite helming Hitchcockian mind-benders with an over-stated style, Brian De Palma seems to be a journeyman director-for-hire here, delivering some shots that seem quite unassured. Of the series, this chapter ranks as the most humdrum and unsexy. When a few outstanding sequences demand it, however, he sure frames some hell-raising fun.

Mission: Impossible II (1998) Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton HHH — The Woo Sell Out Wrongly shouldered with a reputation for being stylish over substantive, as if it proves a bad thing, the second Mission: Impossible puts action before espionage, but effectively advances IMF from small to big screen with enough sexy cool to keep the team going. In this PG-13-rated spy thriller, a secret agent (Cruise) gets sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called “Chimera.” Sure, more persnickety moviegoers laugh at the balletic ballistics of Hong Kong director John Woo, the

excitement rarely lets up. Going solo after the muddled mission in the first adventure, screenwriter Robert Towne presents a straight-shooting spy game. It’s not rocket science but it does make the audience pump their fists and laugh in all of the right places. The only conspiracy here is against time. Clocking in at over two hours, this lean mean fighting machine nearly overstays its welcome.

Mission: Impossible III (2006) Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman HHH1/2 — Choose to Accept A winning combination of both style and substance spoiled only briefly by a typical H’Wood ending to an untypical spy movie M:I III gave moviegoers the series’ nastiest spy baddie ever in Hoffman and the best IMF adventure yet … for five years, at least. In this PG-13-rated thriller, the action begins when super-spy Ethan Hunt (Cruise) gets called back into the field to catch an evasive arms dealer (Hoffman). Thanks to the skilled hand of writer/director J.J Abrams (TV’s Lost), mainstay IMF agent Hunt receives an ample serving of much-needed character development, even going so far as to give him a fiancée (Michelle Monaghan). The unbeliev-

able gadgets and invisible bureaucracy of MI’s past, for instance, become integral plot points in this outing, making Hunt’s world — short of an uninspired ending — almost believable.

Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol (2011) Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner HHHH — Mission: Accomplished Despite accepting the ridiculously challenging mission of reinvigorating a franchise that’s had its ups and downs, Ghost Protocol proves so impossibly good that it’s actually the best of the series thus far. In this PG-13-rated spy thriller sequel, the IMF gets shut down after being implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, leading Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team (Renner, Paula Patton, Simon Pegg) to go rogue and clear their organization’s name. This third sequel offers up a blazing fuse of whip-smart flag-smashing adventure that keeps igniting action-packed set pieces at a furious rapid-fire clip that doesn’t let up until the end credits roll. In his live-action filmmaking debut, director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) has proven a true master of the genre, giving both the gritty and hard-charging Bourne and Bond franchises a blunt-force run for their money.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): During my regular hikes along my favorite trails, I’ve gotten to know the local boulders quite intimately. It might sound daft, but I’ve come to love them. I’ve even given some of them names. They symbolize stability and constancy to me. When I gaze at them or sit on them, I feel my own resolve grow stronger. They teach me about how to be steadfast and unflappable in all kinds of weather. I draw inspiration from the way they are so purely themselves, forever true to their own nature. Now would be an excellent time for you to hang out with your own stony allies, Aries. You could use a boost in your ability to express the qualities they embody.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Everyone is a genius at least once a year,” wrote German aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. “The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.”

According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, your oncea-year explosion of genius is imminent. It’s even possible you will experience a series of eruptions that continue for weeks. The latter scenario is most likely if you unleash the dormant parts of your intelligence through activities like these: having long, rambling conversations with big thinkers; taking long, rambling walks all over creation; enjoying long, rambling sex while listening to provocative music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring,” says author Paul Auster. “It would be tedious to be alive.” But he goes even further in his defense of inconsistency, adding, “Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do.”

This bold assertion may not apply to everyone all the time, but it does for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You should feel free to explore and experiment with the high art of changing your mind. I dare you to use it to generate extravagant amounts of beauty.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In its early days, the band Depeche Mode had the infinitely boring name Composition of Sound. Humphrey Bogart’s and Ingrid Bergman’s classic 1942 film Casablanca was dangerously close to being called Everybody Come to Rick’s. And before Charles Dickens published his novel Bleak House, a scathing critique of the 19th-century British judicial system, he considered eleven other possible titles, including the unfortunate Tom-all-Alone’s. The Solitary House that was always shut up and never Lighted. I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, as the seeding phase of your personal cycle gets underway. The imprints you put on your budding creations will have a major impact on their future. Name them well. Give them a potent start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One summer afternoon when I was seven years old, my friend Billy and I grabbed an empty jar from my kitchen and went looking for ants. Near the creek we found an anthill swarming with black ants, and scooped a bunch of them in the jar. A little later we came upon a caravan of red ants, and shoved many of them in with the black ants. Would they fight?

Naturally. It was mayhem.

Looking back now, I’m sorry I participated in that stunt.

Why stir up a pointless war? In that spirit, Leo, I urge you to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Don’t do anything remotely comparable to putting red ants and black ants in the same jar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In order for everyone in your sphere to meet their appointed destinies, you must cultivate your skills as a party animal. I’m only slightly joking. At least for now, it’s your destiny to be the catalyst of conviviality, the ringleader of the festivities, the engineer of fun and games. To fulfill your assignment, you may have to instigate events that encourage your allies to leave their comfort zones and follow you into the frontiers of collaborative amusement.

ring to Capricorns. He meant everybody.

Most of us commit the sin of self-limitation on a regular basis. That’s the bad news.

The good news, Capricorn, is that you’re entering a time when you’re more likely to rebel against the unconscious restrictions you have placed on yourself.

You will have extra motivation to question and overrule the rationales that you used in the past to inhibit your primal energy. Won’t it be fun to venture out of your basement nook and go explore the rest of your domain?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “An obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from the overgrowth of cactus,” writes biologist Edward O. Wilson. “A Madagascar ‘weed,’ the rosy periwinkle, provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood leukemia,” he adds, while “a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery,” and a “Norwegian fungus made possible the organ transplant industry.” I think these are all great metaphors for the kind of healing that will be available for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius: humble, simple, seemingly insignificant things whose power to bring transformation has, up until now, been secret or unknown.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “She is hard to tempt, as everything seems to please her equally,” said artist Anne Raymo in describing a hedonistic acquaintance. A similar statement may soon apply to you, Pisces. You will have a talent for finding amusement in an unusually wide variety of phenomena.

But more than that: You could become a connoisseur of feeling really good. You may even go so far as to break into a higher octave of pleasure, communing with exotic phenomena that we might call silken thrills and spicy bliss and succulent revelry.

/ENTERTAINMENT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your symbolic object of the week is a magic wand. I recommend that you visualize yourself as the star of a fairy tale in which you do indeed have a wand at your disposal. See yourself wielding it to carry out a series of fantastic tricks, like materializing a pile of gold coins or giving yourself an extraordinary power to concentrate or creating an enchanted drink that allows you to heal your toughest wound. I think this playful imaginative exercise will subtly enhance your ability to perform actual magic in the real world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The taskmaster planet Saturn wove its way through the sign of Scorpio from October 2012 until the end of 2014.

Now it has slipped back into your sign for a last hurrah. Between now and mid-September. I urge you to milk its rigorous help in every way you can imagine. For example, cut away any last residues of trivial desires and frivolous ambitions. Hone your focus and streamline your self-discipline. Once and for all, withdraw your precious energy from activities that waste your time and resist your full engagement. And if you’re serious about capitalizing on Saturn’s demanding gifts, try this ritual: Write either “I will never squander my riches” or “I will make full use of my riches” 20 times — whichever motivates you most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The advanced lessons on tap in the coming days are not for the squeamish, the timid, the lazy, or the stubborn.

But then you’re not any of those things, right? So there shouldn’t be a major problem. The purpose of these subterranean adventures and divine interventions is to teach you to make nerve-racking leaps of faith, whether or not you believe you’re ready. Here’s one piece of advice that I think will help: Don’t resist and resent the tests as they appear. Rather, welcome them as blessings you don’t understand yet. Be alert for the liberations they will offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Man’s being is like a vast mansion,” observed philosopher Colin Wilson, “yet he seems to prefer to live in a single room in the basement.” Wilson wasn’t just refer-

Up Close & personal Fiddy shades: pretty Good. Kinda Hood.

Jeremy Romani has a history of performing in many local bands. Now, the Wilkes-Barre native has gone solo under the artist name Fiddy Shades and has recently released his new digital album, Of Romani. The album features his single “Pretty Good. Kinda Hood” and other “punny” songs.

The artist is acting on his belief that all music should be free and is offering his album to fans at that price or for a small donation. You can upload and listen to his album at no cost on his website (fiddyshades.bandcamp.com). The singer can be heard not only online, but also live at shows where he provides a memorable and slightly shocking time. If you haven’t yet, you’ll have a chance to see him perform at this weekend’s Yardstock in Shickshinny.

Meet Jeremy Romani ...

Where did your love of music come from?

I honestly don’t know where it came from exactly, but I feel like I’ve just been doing it for so long. There’s no specific time where I thought, “Oh, I love music now.” I just like playing and writing music. It’s become my passion really. Even if it’s just playing at my house, I love it.

Is your family musical?

No, not really. My grandfather played a couple instruments, but that’s pretty much it.

Did you have any music lessons?

When I was a kid I played a toy guitar to my stuffed animals. (Laughs) I didn’t really learn how to play guitar — or learn it well until later. Even now, I’m still a novice. I started to play every day beginning last year and then I became good enough to play my own songs. For the majority of playing in bands, I’ve been a vocalist. I did play bass originally in my old band, Goodbye Soundscape, but then I became their lead singer by the time the first record was released.

That’s amazing that playing music was something you picked up on your own.

I originally went to school at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for mass communication. I wanted

to work for a record label, but then I left school and just started one, Romani Records. I wanted to do something I enjoy and now I am.

How were you able to get a music career started?

I don’t call it a music career because I view it as my hobby. I did play in a lot of bands in the past. One band from Scranton that I was in was called Morning Star, then I played in a band called Goodbye Soundscape from Wilkes-Barre and then I stopped playing music for a bit. Then I decided I was going to write solo songs and go under the name Fiddy Shades.

What made you choose the name “Fiddy Shades” for your solo name?

I just thought the window was open to take it and it’s a clever name, so why not? It’s been a year since I’ve gone under this character name.

How would you describe your music as Fiddy Shades?

I’d describe it as punny, sexually-charged, singer-songwriter music. With the bold character name of Fiddy Shades, I wanted to push the envelope with the music I was releasing.

Where do you find material for your music?

Mostly from my life experiences and movies.

For more information on Fiddy Shades, check out his Facebook page at facebook.com/hashtagfiddyshades. so it balances out for those who downloaded it for free. Honestly, I think all music should be free. I also figured free music would be the easiest way to reach the majority of people. You don’t really make money on music, or at least I never have.

It’s always seems like you perform your music and make enough money to go to the next show, or you get gas money to go home, or maybe get a handshake and a hot dog. I put the album up online and thought that if people liked it, they would download it and share it and if they do appreciate it when they listen to it, they’ll buy it.

Psychologically sound sTraighT Talk froM syndicaTed coluMnisT aMy alkon Tinder Mercies I’m a successful lawyer in my late 40s doing online dating. I’m active in the Republican Party and philanthropic causes, so I often go to benefit dinners, for which I typically buy two tickets in advance. I’ve asked two women I met online to come to these as a first date, but both canceled by text at the last minute.

(The dinner yesterday was $1,000 a plate and for a political cause that means a lot to me.) Maybe I’m just attracting rude women, but I’m beginning to wonder whether I’m doing something wrong.

— Empty Chairs You can learn a lot about a woman on the first date — like that she still hasn’t worked out her drinking problem and that she doesn’t always like to wear panties. Ideally, you find these things out while seated across from her at Starbucks and not after she climbs on the table at a benefit and starts doing some sort of fertility dance with the centerpiece.

Sure, it seems convenient when your need for a plus-one coincides with your desire to go on a first date with some online hottie. But you’re better off coming up with a list of attractive female friends you can take or even male friends who share your politics or just enjoy free meals enough to not challenge your tablemates to a duel over theirs. Not taking a woman you barely know is also an important business safeguard — so that when some conservative client of yours turns to your date and asks “So how do you two know each other?” he won’t hear something like, “We met in the ‘Republicans Who Like Hot Wax Play’ chat room on Christian Mingle.”

Beyond ThunderdoMes I have a great circle of female friends, but one of “the group” has a way of making backhanded comments about my appearance that make me feel bad about myself. Her latest topic is my breasts and how much smaller they are than hers. Incredibly, she manages to work this into any conversation — exercising, fashion, shopping, camping. If I confronted her, I know she’d act as though she’s been paying me compliments. (“But you’re SO lucky to have small boobs!”) How can I get her to stop?

— Annoyed Stopping her would be easier if you two were guys: “I don’t like the way you’re talking about my boobs, Marjorie. Let’s take this outside.”

But while men will sock each other in the bar parking lot (and can sometimes go back in and have a beer), women engage in what anthropologists call “covert aggression” — attacks that are hard to

38 J u n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 e l e c t r i c c i t y / d i a m o n d c i t y TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E38] | 06/24/15

pinpoint as attacks, like gossip, social exclusion and stabbing another woman in the self-worth. (“Stabracadabra!” — you’re bleeding out, but nobody but you can tell!)

Psychologist Anne Campbell, like others who study female competition, explains that women seem to have evolved to avoid physical confrontation, which would endanger their ability to have children or fulfill their role as an infant’s principal caregiver. (Ancestral Daddy couldn’t exactly run up to the store for baby formula.) So while guys will engage in put-down fests as a normal part of guy-ness, even women’s verbal aggression is usually sneaky and often comes Halloween-costumed as compliments or concern: “Ooh, honey, do you need some Clearasil for those bumps on your chest?”

The tarted-up put-down is a form of psychological manipulation — a sly way of making a woman feel bad about herself so she’ll self-locate lower on the totem pole. And because men have visually driven sexuality, women specialize in knocking other women where it really hurts — their looks. Like those supposedly minuscule boobs of yours. (Right … you’ll have a latte and she’ll just have another mug of your tears.)

The next time that she, say, turns a trip to the mall into a riff — “Har-har … Victoria’s Secret is that they don’t carry your size!” — pull her aside. (In a group of women, conflict resolution is most successful when it’s as covert as female aggression — as in, not recognizable as fighting back.) By not letting the others hear, you remove the emotionally radioactive element of shaming. This helps keep your defense from being perceived as an attack on her — yes, making you the bad guy.

Simply tell her — calmly but firmly: “These mentions of my boobs are not working for me. You need to stop.” Be prepared for the antithesis of accountability — a response like “Gawd … chill” or “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” But she’ll know exactly what you’re talking about, which is that you’ve just become a poor choice of victim. She may float a remark or two to test your resolve, so be prepared to repeat your warning — calmly but firmly — until she starts acting like just one of the girls instead of yet another breast man.

Liquid

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane Victory brewing has been churning out some good beers for a while now. More so, their lineup is incredibly diverse. With a penchant for European ingredients, this Downingtown brewery has produced pale ales, IPAs, stouts, barleywines, tripels and lagers. These brews have ranged from big bold alcoholic brews to nuanced Belgian style beers to uber drinkable pilsners. Amazingly, every brew I’ve had by them has been distinct, able to stand out from others of similar styles and provide a unique experience without diverging too far away from what you’d expect them to be.

With all this variety, they are best known for one beer above all others. Their flagship brew is the infamous Golden Monkey, a Belgian tripel of a staggering 9.5 percent ABV. It is delightfully complex, bringing with it a bountiful amount of citrus, a bevy of spices and candied sugar. It’s warming and effervescent, with a distinct yeastyness that is quite pleasing. This was one of the first beers I ever wrote about and is still a favorite of mine to this day.

This week is a bit of a tribute to that fantastic brew. Victory has taken that delicious beer and warped it into something new and different. While based on the seminal Golden Monkey, the Sour Monkey takes it into new and unexplored territory.

It promises a taste experience on par with that of its progenitor but with a bold tartness. To me, it sounded like the perfect pairing for a Golden Mon-

key. All of the alcoholic sweetness in this fantastic beer paired with a bit of mouth puckering is quite possibly the best idea anyone has ever had.

The pour was a straw yellow color with only a little bit of head. What it lacked in head, however, it certainly made up for in carbonation. Bubbles continually rose through the glass, promising a nice crispness. Sour Monkey would not disappoint.

The scent held a good deal of funk to it. That musty fermentation smell really owned the nose.

There was also hints of citrus and candied sugar, as well as a complimentary yeast smell, but the funk was really where it was at.

The taste largely followed suit with the nose.

Yes, it was Golden Monkey in there, but the Monkey was bringing a lot of sour with it. Up front was the Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, the yeast that gives this beer its kick. The funk it causes is reminiscent of spoiled orange juice, but in the best possible way. This great tartness yields to the citrus, creating a great progression. Following all that is a bit of cereal malt sweetness. A good deal of the spice and other qualities of the original tripel get a bit lost in translation, but the new sensations it created make it a worthwhile trade off.

Sour Monkey was a good beer. Its a rather solid sour brew with some interesting notes to it. Is it better than Golden Monkey? Well, lets not get too crazy. It’s delicious and completely worthwhile, but it does miss out on some of the subtle nuances that exist within its predecessor. As with everything I’ve had from Victory, however, it certainly leaves an impression. This is certainly a monkey I wouldn’t pass up.
