Ranking hoRses BoJack Horseman

By eRica Thompson The Kentucky Derby runs on Saturday, May 4. I have no desire to watch or attend — other than to look fashionable and drink bourbon. But the nearly 150-year tradition has inspired me enough to rank horses for you. Mister Ed “I can’t believe people watched a sitcom about a talking horse,” says the woman who watched sitcoms about a tiny alien from Melmac and talking dinosaurs in the ’80s and ’90s.

“I went out [to the hospital] and the news media was there and I couldn’t find my boy,” said Malone, who was informed of events after they unfolded by Danielle Williams, the mother of Tate’s girlfriend, Masonique Saunders. “No one [from the hospital] came out and told me that my son was lying on a table, gone. … My son’s birthday would be next month. He’d be 17 years old. But he’s sitting on my mantelpiece downstairs and I can’t even touch him. I can’t say, ‘I love you.’ I can’t even hug him. My son can’t even tell me what the hell they’ve done to him.” Columbus Division of Police shot and killed Tate during an undercover investigation into a series of robberies tied to in-person sales arranged via social media websites. According to CPD, as reported by the Dispatch, a SWAT officer, who posed as a potential buyer, agreed to meet Tate to purchase an item with cash near the Near East Side intersection of Mount Vernon and North Champion avenues, about 40 paces from where Williams lives with her three children, including Saunders. During this exchange, CPD said Tate pulled a gun and robbed the officer, at which point another SWAT officer, Eric Richard, shot and killed Tate. An autopsy released in early April revealed that Richard shot Tate five times, striking him three times in the abdomen and once each in the chest and head. Tate was pronounced dead at Grant Medical Center at 6:32 p.m. The shooting took place three days after a similar incident in which SWAT officer Robert Vass shot and wounded Kyler Collier, 18, during a robbery sting staged in the parking lot of a Southeast Side townhome complex. Additionally, the prosecutor’s office alleges that Tate and Saunders were both involved in a second robbery at the same Mount Vernon Avenue location three days prior to Tate’s shooting, during which a victim was pistol-whipped. If events unfolded as authorities allege, Tate family attorney Byron Potts said, the police response of Dec. 7 should be further called into question. “If they’re alleging that this happened before, then they had an idea what was going to transpire,” Potts said. “We believe they came with the intent of shooting Julius Tate. … [Police] have the ability to not kill someone if they plan it out properly. And if it happened like they say it did, then

they had prior knowledge that [Tate could be armed]. … They’re acting like the judge and the jury right there on the streets.” Six days after Tate was killed, officers with the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team arrested Saunders, who police allege was Tate’s accomplice, charging the then-16-year-old with aggravated robbery. Saunders was also charged with murder for her role in the events that led to Tate’s death, with the office of Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Ron O’Brien invoking the felony murder rule, which provides that “no person shall proximately cause the death of another person as the result of committing a first or second degree felony,” according to an emailed statement provided by O’Brien’s public information officer, Christy McCreary. Since being charged, Saunders, 17, has been held Downtown at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Facility. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, May 9, which will determine if she will be tried as an adult. (Saunders’ attorney, Jon Tyack, declined multiple requests for comment.)

Tynan KraKOff, SURJ member

charged with murder even if the person killed is their own accomplice. There is also legal precedent in the state allowing felony murder to be charged even if the death is the result of an unreasonable or illegal police response, according to Guyora Binder, a professor at the University at Buffalo School of Law and an expert on felony murder. Binder pointed to State v. Lovelace, a 1999 Ohio case in which Paul Wayne Lovelace, driving a stolen car, ran a stop sign during a police chase. In pursuit, one of the police officers ran the same stop sign, striking another car and killing its driver. Though convicted of involuntary manslaughter rather than felony murder, Lovelace was held causally responsible for the victim’s death under the same standard that would be applied in a felony murder case. Quoting language from the case, Binder said, “Simply because a person’s conduct is unreasonable or even criminal, does not make it unforeseeable.” “So what the court was saying is, ‘The police officer proceeding through a stop sign at high speed, that might have been unreasonable, or even criminal, but if it was foreseeable as a result of Lovelace’s speeding, Lovelace was on the hook for it,’” Binder continued. “If we bring this back to Saunders, even if the police shooting of Tate was unreasonable or unlawful, if it was foreseeable as a result of Saunders’ participation in a robbery, Saunders could still be on the hook.” According to the statement provided by the Prosecuting Attorney’s office, the felony murder rule has been utilized locally on at least two previous occasions where the offender was charged when the death resulted from police action. This includes a 2014 stakeout of a Dollar General store on Alum Creek Drive where two robbers were shot and killed by police. The other two accomplices were charged with their murders, eventually pleading

to involuntary manslaughter. Critics of the felony murder rule note that the law, which relies heavily on prosecutorial interpretation, can lead to head-scratching results, with accomplices charged for deaths that occur at the hands of police, or even the victim. In the Saunders case, for instance, Binder said the fact that Tate’s death was the result of a police sting makes a felony murder charge troubling. “What strikes me as very strange about this situation is that they were using police as decoys to sort of invite or provoke armed robbery,” Binder said. “And apparently with a SWAT team there, so anticipating a gun battle and planning to resolve the situation by shooting the suspect. If these reports are correct, that seems remarkably careless of the lives of suspects, police and the public.” The law can also disproportionately impact minorities — in California, for example, data compiled by the Felony Murder Elimination Project estimates that nearly 40 percent of those convicted under the rule are black — as well as juveniles, who tend to act in groups. In a 2005 study undertaken by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which looked at the more than 2,200 child offenders serving life without parole for crimes committed before they turned 18, an estimated 26 percent were convicted of felony murder. “We know that kids are different than adults,” said Jeree Thomas, policy director at the Washington, D.C.-based Campaign for Youth Justice. “We have all this information about brain science, and we know that sort of executive functioning and thinking ahead is not wired in young people yet, especially to put that amount of culpability on them where they can end up with these long sentences, or de facto life sentences. It’s really, deeply unfortunate. And it’s a waste of the potential of young people when that happens.”

The felony murder rule has even received criticism from unlikely sources, including the legal director of the nonprofit, California-based Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, Kent Scheidegger, who has been described as the country’s “most outspoken advocate for capital punishment.” Interviewed by The Guardian regarding a 2015 case in which Alabama police shot and killed A’Donte Washington and then charged Washington’s friend, Lakeith Smith, with his murder, Scheidegger argued that the application of the rule was excessive. Because a grand jury ruled Washington’s death a justifiable homicide, Scheidegger said, Smith was being held criminally responsible for the death of someone who was not, at least in legal terms, murdered. “You can’t be an accessory if there is no principal,” Scheidegger told The Guardian, a view he confirmed in an email to Alive, with the caveat that “the passage quoted is my personal opinion about what the law should be, not a legal opinion about what the law is.”

On a rainy evening in late March, roughly 15 activists gathered at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church adjacent to Campus to paint signs for an early April demonstration. While the vibe was low-key — music played softly in the background and the conversation was generally kept to a minimum as group members worked — the bold-faced words painted on colored poster boards were far less reserved: “Free Masonique”; “Justice 4 Julius”; “Blue Lives Murder.” A week later, on Saturday, April 7, the once-quiet protesters joined in a collective roar during a march and noise demonstration, which started Downtown in Bicentennial Park, looped past the Ohio Statehouse and settled on Front Street outside the juvenile detention facility where Saunders is currently being held. “The best way to face tragedy is with fists up, fighting,” said organizer Blizzard Wilcher, addressing the crowd of 60 or so prior to the start of the march. “Have [Saunders] feel your support, your presence, your energy.” Along the walk, the protesters, who wielded instruments (flutes, drums, kazoos, at least one trombone), kitchen

Saunders’ arrest shines a spotlight on the little-discussed felony murder rule, which has received increased attention elsewhere in recent years. In September 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation severely restricting felony murder in the state. Previously, legislatures in Kentucky and Hawaii abolished the rule, and in 2017 Massachusetts ended the process through the courts, joining Michigan, which did away with it in a State Supreme Court ruling nearly four decades ago, calling the rule “a historic survivor for which there is no logical or practical basis for existence in modern law.” More recently, the Pennsylvania Legislature has debated a bill aimed at curtailing the practice, the origins of which are muddy, with law students generally taught that it’s a relic of British common law. (England abolished its version of the law in 1957; the United States is currently the only country where the felony murder rule still exists.) Ohio, though, is one of about a dozen states that allow for individuals who commit a felony that ends in death to be

“The stakes in this are higher than in some police shootings because we can still free [Saunders]. ... We can bring justice to her in a way that is more abstract for people like Julius or Ty’re King.”

utensils (pots, pans, metal spoons) and other sundry noisemakers (utility buckets, aluminum trashcan lids), chanted freedom songs and protest slogans (“When black lives are under attack/What do we do?/Stand up, fight back”). Once settled on Front Street, action temporarily spilled into traffic, with dozens of people linking arms to block cars, eliciting a heavy, immediate police response and leading to the arrest of one protester. As the group returned to the sidewalk, a new chant started to build among its ranks, directed at the growing police presence in the streets: “Who do you serve? Who do you protect?” The demonstration was one in a series of events organized by the Coalition to Free Masonique Saunders, a loose-knit collaborative that includes members of Black Queer & Intersectional Columbus (BQIC) and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), among others, which has been working to raise funds for Saunders’ legal defense (a GoFundMe has raised more than $7,600 as of press time), as well as increase public awareness of the case. Over the past several months, the group has staged multiple fundraisers and demonstrations, including an April 1 sit-in at Prosecuting Attorney Ron O’Brien’s Downtown office. The group has also circulated a petition urging O’Brien to drop the charges against Saunders, to charge Officer Richard in the death of Tate and to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting. On Tuesday, May 7, members from the Free Masonique coalition will be on hand at Urban Arts Space to kick off the latest iteration of From the Language of Ash, a free reading series organized by poet, cultural critic and occasional Alive contributor Hanif Abdurraqib. Members of the group also intend to appear in court in a supportive role during Saunders’ May 9 hearing. “After talking with some other organizers … we sort of banded together to fight for her freedom and help her as she tries to survive,” said coalition member and BQIC co-founder Dkéama Alexis. “I think there’s a particular violence that happens to black women and girls in our country, especially as it’s related to policing and the mentality of policing. It’s really striking to me because, of course, she didn’t pull the trigger that killed her

Protesters during a march on April 7 boyfriend. It was Columbus police who did that. … Pinning the murder on her is just an extension of how far they’ll go to evade accountability.” (CPD declined comment, instead referring Alive to O’Brien’s office.) The decision to charge Saunders with felony murder has parallels with recent developments in the much-publicized Ty’re King case. In mid-April, the four teenagers who were with King, 13, in the hours before he was fatally shot by police in September 2016, were added as third-party defendants by the city in the civil lawsuit filed by King’s grandmother, Dearrea King. If the city or officer is ultimately found liable in the suit, the four teens could be held financially responsible, which some critics view as a means of the city deflecting blame for King’s death. (In an emailed statement, Tim Mangan, chief of litigation for the Columbus City Attorney’s office, said the addition of the four teenagers was “necessary in order for the Court to find out exactly what happened.”) While groups like BQIC and SURJ have previously organized around fatal police shootings, notably King and Henry Green, who was also shot and killed by police in 2016, SURJ member Tynan Krakoff said there was an increased urgency around this case. “The stakes in this are higher than in some police shootings because we can still free [Saunders],” Krakoff said. “The sense of urgency is more real to people with this because she’s in a cage right now. … We can bring justice to her in a way that is more abstract for people like Julius or Ty’re King.”

Following the Tate shooting, a familiar pattern repeated itself in the media, with early articles focused on the juvenile records of both Tate and Saunders, including Saunders’ 2014 arrest for assault when, at age 12, she punched a classmate twice in the jaw, and November 2018 theft and assault charges on Tate. “That initial narrative controls everything,” said attorney Sean Walton, who is representing the families of Henry Green and Ty’re King in separate wrongful death lawsuits filed against the city. “A lot of times, the Columbus Division of Police issues an initial statement giving quite a few details about what happened, but it’s from their perspective, and it’s never going to say, ‘We may have made a mistake,’ or give any indication that there could have been wrongdoing on the part of the officer. … Then they talk about the [victim’s] criminal history. … If you make them into somebody who was a criminal, a violent offender, then you strip away that humanity. And at that point it becomes good guys versus bad guys.” In the United States, even flawed individuals are worthy of a vigorous defense, and a person’s virtuousness, or lack thereof, is of little consequence in challenging arguably unethical laws. In confronting the felony murder rule and its application in this case, perfect character isn’t required of either Tate or Saunders, though multiple people interviewed noted the role perception can have in driving narrative. “It’s just horrifying how Julius Tate can be dehumanized after his death. And

how Masonique’s history is being trotted out in the streets, as if it justifies what they did to her boyfriend and to her,” said BQIC’s Alexis. “It’s always unfortunate to have to be in that position of defending black life and humanity. … But by affirming black people’s right to live and be free, that is how I counter those narratives.” Saunders’ mother, Danielle Williams, described her daughter as someone who had struggled with some behavioral issues in the past, but who she believed had turned a corner, holding down a series of part-time jobs (Bibibop Asian Grill, a summer job with the Columbus Urban League) while helping care for her younger siblings, including an autistic, seizure-prone brother. Due to Saunders’ experiences caring for him, Williams said that Saunders most recently told her that she wanted to pursue a career in special education. Tate’s mother, Jamita Malone, described her son, one of the eldest of seven children, as smart and fiercely protective of his siblings, whom he would regularly assist with their homework. He also loved sports, particularly football and basketball, and he cut grass for money on the side, in addition to working a part-time job at Bibibop. “He was my first boy, and this is killing me with him not being here,” Malone said. “I just don’t understand this world without my son. I don’t trust anybody. It makes me look at people differently. … I’m hurt for life, but I have to be here for my other children. I have to be here to get justice for my son. I have to speak up, because that’s what Julius would want.”

LocaL musicians offEr frEE guiTars, LEssons To aT-risk chiLdrEn By Erica Thompson

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, May 2, 2019

For Ryan Lunka and Jonathan Elliott, attending high school in Chardon — a small town in Northeast Ohio — was like participating in a musical training program. “There were like ﬁve or six bands just in our graduating class,” recalled Lunka, who now plays in Columbus indie group Local Tourists. “We used to play shows and parties around town on a regular basis.” Elliott went on to form

the Floorwalkers and Doc Robinson, both active in Columbus. Their time in high school not only helped shape them as musicians, but allowed them to draw a contrast between their experience and the upbringing of kids less fortunate. And when tragedy struck Chardon High School with a fatal 2012 shooting on the grounds, Lunka and Elliott became even more motivated to become positive role models for youths.

“It serves as a reminder that too many children are falling victim to gun violence,” Lunka said. “Even in small-town USA, there are children who are struggling and at risk for these kinds of terrible experiences.” With that in mind, Lunka cofounded the Central Ohio branch of Guitars Not Guns, an international nonproﬁt that serves at-risk kids with free guitar lessons. Through partnerships with youth organizations like the Boys and Girls

Club, the local chapter has taught two graduating classes to date. And on Friday, May 10, Guitars Not Guns Ohio will host a beneﬁt concert at Big Room Bar to raise funds for more children. Both Lunka and Elliott will perform as part of the lineup. “Little breakthroughs like learning chord progressions and being able to play on your own, that does a lot for your perseverance,” said Elliott, who has worked with children in other musical settings.

Jonathan Elliott and Ryan Lunka

“I’ve seen some of these kids really come out of the darkness.” During a typical 14week Guitars Not Guns Ohio program, kids not only learn basic chords but familiar songs. “We usually get a good response from ‘Seven Nation Army’ by the White Stripes because everyone who has watched an Ohio State game knows that song,” Lunka said. Classes are limited to about 10 students with multiple instructors who can provide direct attention to children of all learning abilities. The organization is looking for more volunteer teachers. Jimi Hendrix-level skills aren’t necessary; novices can apply. The most important attribute is a positive example. “We bring in instructors who are strong role models,” Lunka said. “We target kids who face challenges that many of us do not have to deal with. It’s so important to have people around them who are a good inﬂuence, who joke and laugh with them, and who demonstrate how to be successful — even if it’s something as silly as playing ‘Smoke on the Water’ on a guitar.” Upon completion of the program, students are rewarded with their own guitars to take home. “When you’re 12 years old, life feels tough,”

Lunka said. “Then add the additional risk factors that our participants have to experience. Having the opportunity to overcome something challenging builds a foundational conﬁdence that the kids will bring forward to other aspects of their lives. Even if they never touch the guitar again, they’ll know they learned how to play it once, even though it was hard. And that’ll be important when they run into their next hard experience.” Currently, the Guitars Not Guns Ohio program runs just once each year. It is Lunka’s goal to expand to even more after-school programs, with multiple classes running throughout the year. In the face of such a monumental task in preventing exposure to violence, Guitars Not Guns focuses on “one child, one guitar, one miracle” at a time. “We’re only going to be able to make a small dent in this problem,” Lunka said, “but that’s so much better than doing nothing.”

County Can’t fix aiR quality pRoBleMs alone

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, May 2, 2019

By RoB MooRe

Last week, the American Lung Association released its annual “State of the Air” report. In this year’s report, Franklin County received an “F” for high ozone days. The local data isn’t all doom and gloom. Franklin County’s average number of high ozone days per year from 2015 to 2017 was 5.3, still above a passing rate of 3.2, but significantly lower than peak numbers of almost 46 annual high ozone days in the early 2000s. Janice Nolen, an assistant VP with the American Lung Association, said that Ohio’s drop in high ozone days over the past two decades has been due to reductions in emissions from coal-fired power plants. But why is Ohio still having so many high-ozone days? A continuing culprit for local emissions is automobile use. Every mile driven by automobiles exacts costs on the public in the form of respiratory problems, asthma and heart attacks. A widely cited 2006 study published in the Journal of Economic Literature estimates the per-mile cost of local emissions at 2.3 cents per mile. This comes out to about 2.9 cents per mile in 2019 dollars. This means the average driver in Ohio unloads about 84 cents of costs in health impacts (not including those caused by crashes, which are even more significant)

per commuting day on other community residents. Unfortunately, emissions costs are hard for local governments to capture. One tool some local governments have explored for capturing the costs of driving, namely congestion, is road pricing in key corridors, such as tolls. While Columbus has seen increases in congestion, the city is not at the point where such a strategy is likely to gain political momentum. So what tools do local governments have? According to a survey last year of members of the National Association of Clear Air Agencies, most local governments are engaged in outreach, regional cooperation and pollution prevention programs broadly to manage air quality. Less common are strategies to adopt new transportation or energy technologies or to plan growth with sustainability goals in mind. Another ﬁnding from the survey is that local air control authorities see state agencies as key partners in improving air quality. Working with state partners allows local governments to widen their reach, which is especially important when regulating activity that crosses municipal and county lines. Ultimately, local governments will need to partner with state government in order to curb emissions. Rob Moore is the principal for Scioto Analysis, a Columbus-based policy analysis ﬁrm.

ABortion AccEss is A quEEr And trAns issuE ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, May 2, 2019

By Joy Ellison

On April 9, the Ohio state legislature passed the “Heartbeat Bill,” a six-week abortion ban. Mason Hickman wants Ohioans to know that queer and transgender people, like him, are ﬁghting back. Hickman is the campaign manager for nonproﬁt organization URGE (Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity) and a volunteer for Planned Parenthood. For the past two years, he has spent his time reaching out to people “who are affected by anti-abortion laws.” “What that looks like is canvasing, showing up at their doors, having them

come out to events [and] teaching them how to talk to legislators,” Hickman said. It also means taking them to Sen. Rob Portman’s office, attending protests, phone banking and fundraising for reproductive organizations, he added. For Hickman, reproductive health and bodily autonomy are personal causes. “This issue is important to me as a queer and trans person because I am someone who is able to get pregnant [and] because I am someone who may need to access abortion services someday,” he said. “Not all cis women can get pregnant, so it’s not just a women’s issue.” Transgender women and femmes have long been targets of forced sterilization, Hickman said. He’d also like to see the medical needs of transgender men and non-binary people taken seriously. Using language that reflects this reality isn’t difficult. Instead of talking about “women’s access to abortion,” say “access to abortion.” Instead of using phrases like “women who might become pregnant,” substitute “anyone who might become pregnant.” Talking about the specific reproductive health needs of queer and transgender people is also necessary. “If there’s no visibility for us, there will be no laws to protect us,” Hickman said. “Things like the six-week ban make timing crucial, and when time is of the essence, you need to have financial resources [and] family resources in order to access abortion. As we know, LGBTQ people, especially LGBTQ people of color, don’t always have those immediate resources at their disposal. So this hurts us even more than most people.” Hickman urges Ohioans concerned about reproductive health and abortion access to contact their elected officials, volunteer with local organizations and donate to abortion funds. He also believes it’s time to acknowledge and welcome queer and transgender people in the reproductive justice struggle. “Queer and trans people have been showing up for the longest time and we have been consistently shut out,” he said. “We are at a point where you can’t afford to shut us out anymore. We want to fight alongside you, but we can’t do that if you pretend we don’t exist. ... People have been policing our bodies since the beginning of time. We’ve learned to fight back.”

Confidence There is nothing that can outshine confidence. It is the most important trait that a person can possess. As a recipient of the YWCA Women of Achievement award, I am honored to be in a league of some of the most confident and successful women in Columbus. My wish is that we can continue to impart confidence on the young women growing up in our community.

The Boat House Restaurant I recently re-fell-in-love with the Boat House Restaurant at Conﬂuence Park in Downtown Columbus. Before this year, the last time I was there was for my 1991 Centennial High School prom. The steak there is outstanding, the ﬁreplace is inviting and the patio has the best waterfront and skyline views of Downtown, especially at sunset. Boxing Boxing is my thing now. As an avid extreme outdoors enthusiast, it takes a lot to push me past my endurance threshold, but my trainers at TITLE

Boxing Club Westerville do it four to five times a week. It’s the most intense workout I’ve ever experienced, and I love it because I also learn practical self-defense techniques, like the lethal ability of an elbow. After a car accident in 2015 that left me with a serious neck injury, I never thought that I would be able to resume this kind of physical activity, and now it’s central to my life. The ’80s I never stopped loving the ’80s. I listen to the music, enjoy feeling nostalgic for the mood and I love the mental throwbacks to MTV, parachute pants and banana hair clips. True story: I’ve been reprimanded at every TV station that I’ve ever worked for, for having big hair (iconic of the ’80s), which sometimes challenged the conservative and polished appearance required in my talent contracts. Somewhere in an HR office at one of the local TV stations is a note in my file from a news director who did not fully appreciate my explanation that the ’80s were good years and big hair was essential.

Playoff hockey I’ve watched a bit of playoff hockey before, but after attending some regular season Jackets games this year and getting more familiar with the players, my family has been glued to the TV since CBJ’s first game against Tampa Bay. I can’t wait for the next game against the Bruins. I just hope the Crew can catch some of this goalscoring fever, and soon. —Joel Oliphint “Barry” To be honest, I wasn’t sure the HBO series needed a second season — or could even sustain one — considering how the first season closed. Well, I was wrong. The writing staff has embraced its central character’s darker turn without sacrificing the show’s subtly comic edge (think the Coen Brothers at their bleakest). Plus, the cast, led by Bill Hader (who’s aces as Barry) is perfect. This might be the best show on television at the moment. —Andy Downing

hen Katherine Paul, who records and performs under the banner Black Belt Eagle Scout, started work on the rock songs that would become her 2017 debut, Mother of My Children, she didn’t anticipate it reaching a wide audience. “It’s been an interesting journey. … I deﬁnitely made it ﬁrst and foremost for myself, just to have something to hold onto from that time in my life,” said Paul, who visits Ace of Cups for a concert on Tuesday, May 7. “But then also

“Having that feminist energy around the beginnings of me making music in bands, that was really powerful, and put a lot of things in perspective for me,” Paul said. “The narrative around it was, ‘Let’s take a political stance. Let’s create music. And let’s do it with just girls and women.’ It was finding your own crowd and passion and doing it with a purpose. … That’s why I do what I do, I think.” In addition to the riot grrrl scene, Paul’s music is also influenced, spiritually at least, by the indigenous sounds she absorbed growing up in a deeply musical family. “All of them are singers, and they have a big drum group that would travel to pow wows all over Washington,” Paul said. “I was surrounded by music, but not rock ’n’ roll. It was pow wow music. It’s funny, this music video I did for [recent single] ‘Loss & Relax,’ I showed it to my grandmother, and she was like, ‘I watched it on repeat … and I could feel the spiritual-ness in it.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. It never occurred to me that was even in there.’ For me, that was a thing I kept within myself.” While Paul came up in bands, the creation of Mother of My Children was an entirely solo pursuit. The musician returned to her childhood home to record at tiny studio Anacortes Unknown, and played every instrument on the album, working alongside a recording engineer who helped set up microphones and pressed record when it came time. “Having that experience of schlepping in all the instruments and setting everything up and layering all the parts, that was really intense for me,” said Paul, who reveled in the physicality of the experience. “I always figured I would do the recordings myself, because it was my personal music.” Though the songs are intensely personal, Paul said recording did bring a degree of closure, allowing a clean slate for future albums. “When I finished recording,” she said, “it was kind of like, ‘OK, I’m done with that part of my life now.’”

I wanted to share it. That’s why I asked my friend, who has this small label, Good Cheer, in Portland, [Oregon], ‘Hey, would you want to put this out for me?’” Eventually, the album found its way to Saddle Creek, an esteemed label based in Omaha, Nebraska, which reissued the LP to largely glowing reviews last year. With the intimate, oft-heartbreaking Mother of My Children, Paul navigates grief on multiple fronts, addressing the dissolution of a relationship, the death of a friend and mentor, and the weight the musician felt as family and friends protested at Standing Rock. “At first I was playing music just to feel better, but then I realized I was actually creating songs, and that I wanted to create an album out of it,” Paul said. “It sort of made it feel like I would have this thing, this product, of all this work I was putting into getting through life.” On the album’s title track, Paul navigates romantic loss, repeating the words “without you” like a woman still learning how to move forward alone, while the hypnotic “Indians Never Die” finds the musician exploring and uncovering strength in her indigenous roots. (Paul was raised on a small reservation, the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, on the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest.) “As somebody who is indigenous and playing music … you don’t have to be like, ‘I’m an indigenous musician,’” she said. “You can just be you. You can just be a musician. But, for me, I’m passionate about exploring my identity and being able to share that. I want other people like me who are out there to feel validated, and feel like they can play music, too. I don’t know if you’ve seen some of the music scene, but it’s still pretty white.” Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Paul gravitated toward the riot grrrl scene, an underground feminist punk movement, which allowed her space to explore aspects of her identity. “I didn’t really see anybody that looked like me … but as a queer woman trying to come out, and figuring out what life could be like, I saw that within the riot grrrl scene,” Paul said. In high school, Paul enrolled in the Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls, where, even beyond music, she said she was able to “find aspects of humanity with people who were more like me.”

In the lead-up to the Felice Brothers’ new album, the folk-rock band convened in a garage rehearsal space on a farm in New York’s Hudson Valley, where singer/guitarist Ian Felice brought about 30 song ideas to brother and keys/accordion player James Felice and the rest of the band. It soon became clear these new songs would likely lead to the band’s most overtly political album, and according to James, the topical direction was a welcome one. “Politics have become part of pop culture and everyday conversation because we have these bizarre circumstances and crazy characters. People are paying attention to it as though it were a soap opera,” said James, reached by phone in New York a couple of days before a tour that will stop at Rumba Cafe on Saturday, May 4. “It’s this cultural phenomenon that has real-world, potentially devastating implications, which makes it interesting. It’s a soap opera that actually affects our lives and can cause true suffering in the world. It’s our business. We’re Americans. We’re allowed to say how we feel.” After culling 30 songs down to a dozen, the band — the Felice sib-

lings, new bassist Jesske Hume and drummer Will Lawrence — eventually decided that leadoff track “Undress,” which implores a laundry list of people and places to remove their clothing, best represented the new material, so the song became the album’s namesake. No one is spared on “Undress”: Republicans, Democrats, the Brooklyn Bridge, Bank of America, Kellyanne Conway, “Family Feud” contestants, industrialists, anarchists, “trigger-happy deputies,” the Pentagon… “It exempliﬁed where we were going with the music,” James said. “It’s funny, politically and socially aware, astute, a little bit gross in a funny, intriguing way, and kind of sexy, too, in a weird way. Everything is off-kilter, off-balance. I like it, because you don’t really know what to expect next in that song.” James also penned a tune for Undress, “Nail it on the First Try,” which, unlike Ian’s verbose, Bob Dylan-esque style, consists of just ﬁve short lines accompanied by accordion and piano. “It’s like a palate cleanser to give you a break between these really interesting and complex ideas that we’re hitting you with before and after,” James said. But it’s the lyrical hook of the Band-like ballad “Poor Blind Birds” that really hits home for James

when he reﬂects on the totality of Undress: “We live in a world we can’t understand.” “Everybody who has ever lived has lived in a world they don’t understand. ... We don’t understand our own consciousness. We don’t understand the very foundation of our reality, these quarks and complicated physics. We can’t even comprehend things we actually do know, like how far away the sun is from the earth — these very essential parts of our lives,” he said. “Every day we’re holding these cellphones and iPhones — these things that I don’t remotely understand. My phone is a mystery to me. It’s as mysterious to me as any possible thing — as mysterious as love, as the deepest bottom of the ocean. I have no idea how it works. … The world is very confusing, and the more you think about it, the more confusing it inevitably becomes. Everybody who has ever lived is confused about the nature of reality. It’s the one constant. The only thing that we all know is that we don’t know.”

not every tune came as quickly as others. Barrie had the hook for “Savor the Moment” sitting around for years before ﬁnally landing on some verses, whereas “I Don’t Know Why” seemed to emerge from his subconscious fully formed. “I was coming back from a show in Athens, just driving home,” he said. “It was Grateful Dead hour, and for some reason [‘I Don’t Know Why’] came out, and I basically had the song done by the time I got home.” Barrie’s gears are already in motion as he thinks about the next album, which could take inspiration from bluesman Gary Clark, Jr. and the Black Keys, or it could take a dance-rock turn. “All the time I hear something and I’m like, ‘I want to do that,’” Barrie said. “It could be something totally off the wall, something I don’t do at all.”

Working together in the freeform hip-hop crew Shabazz Palaces, producer/ composer Erik Blood and musician/rapper Ishmael Butler have always explored the outer edges of the cosmos. On Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star, from 2017, Butler labeled himself a “sent sentient from some elsewhere,” and the sonic backdrop often followed suit, incorporating alien free-jazz textures. With Knife Knights’ debut, 1 Time Mirage (Sub Pop), the two venture to entirely new galaxies, embracing a borderless sound that borrows from shoegaze, soul, hip-hop and electronica, and is limited solely by the pair’s collective imagination. “For a few weeks, we did whatever came out of our heads, and whatever came from our limbs, and that was it,” said Blood, who described Knife Knights as a more collaborative project compared with Shabazz Palaces, which is geared toward bringing Butler’s creative visions to life. “There wasn’t much intention behind it. … It was just free-ﬂowing movement, like dancing with a guitar in your hands.” It helps that Blood and Butler are both well-versed in the basics, like master painters who have spent years crafting photorealistic still-life works before embracing impressionism — Butler in pioneering, precise hip-hop group Digable Planets, and Blood in his production

work. “My structured learning was all in recording,” said Blood, who joins Butler in concert at Ace of Cups on Monday, May 6, “and that allows me more freedom because knowing the studio basics makes it easier to break those rules.” Blood met Butler at a 2003 Spiritualized show in Seattle and was immediately struck by how the musician’s presence carried the room. “He was just the coolest guy in the world,” Blood said. The mystique around Butler only ampliﬁed with the formation of Shabazz Palaces, owing to a new stage name (Butler re-introduced himself to listeners as Palaceer Lazaro) and press images where the rapper frequently appeared wearing fashions that could have sprung from the way-out mind of George Clinton, and, in one photo that might stand as this writer’s favorite publicity still of all time, walking a pair of pythons. This sense of mystery cultivated by Butler added to the music, which felt, at times, like the work of intergalactic hands. “So many of the bands that I admired and that I obsessed over were bands that didn’t even have photos on their album covers,” Blood said. “It was wild. These people were just magical beings. … Now that doesn’t exist, and even the most mysterious artists that we can think of post selﬁes on fucking Instagram. … Everyone wants to see how the sausage is made. And I don’t know if we can bring it all the way back.”

George Barrie has played guitar in long-running Columbus soul-funk band MojoFlo for 11 years now, but all along the way Barrie has been writing his own songs. Even before MojoFlo, when he was studying music at Capital University, the singer and guitarist played occasional solo gigs, building on his time fronting the band Green Means Go at Dublin Coffman High School. But it wasn’t until 2015 that he released the self-titled George Barrie Band EP, followed by debut album Keep Dreaming in 2016. “With this project I really could do whatever I want,” Barrie said. “It’s my name, right?” For Barrie’s follow-up, the musician wanted to build on the bluesy, funkinﬂected rock sound he established with core bandmates Jake Levy (drums) and Jeff Bass (bass) by adding a horn section and a female background singer, Jenny Flory, all of which gives new album Boomerang a more soulful sound. “I thought it might be more of a, ‘Hey, this song will have some horns, and a few songs we’ll have Jenny sing,’ but once you start messing around in the studio, everything sounds better. Even if it’s just one little section that has a horn part, it’s immediately a level up,” Barrie said. “I had to put them on every single song.” Barrie and his band will celebrate the new album with a release show at Woodlands Tavern on Friday, May 3; CDs will be available at the show, with a vinyl version of the record coming at a later date. Boomerang’s title track chronicles the on-again/off-again nature of some relationships, but in general, the album dwells more on the high notes of life than the sour ones. “I’m just a positive dude,” Barrie said. “I think it’s a reﬂection of my life outlook.” The new songs were mostly recorded at Barrie’s Worthington home studio the Shred Shed (where he also worked with Doc Robinson, another local act that features Barrie’s guitar playing), though

Leon bridges by JoeL oLiphinT With 2018’s Good Thing, Fort Worth, Texas soul singer Leon Bridges brought the smoky, vintage sound of his excellent debut, 2015’s Grammy-nominated Coming Home, into the modern day. Still, the Sam Cooke comparisons might be hard to shake; just like Cooke, Bridges started out primarily as a gospel singer, then branched out, fully embracing the world of pop and R&B. It was clear even on Coming Home, though, that Bridges wasn’t merely a throwback artist looking to get a slice of the neo-soul pie. It’s not the spare, ’60s-style production that stands out on a song like “River”; it’s Bridges’ stirring, naturally soulful voice and his simply stated conversion story, which ﬁnds him longing for salviﬁc waters: “Take me to your river/I wanna go.”

Good Thing ditches the vintage touchstones for a contemporary R&B sound that manages to complement rather than overwhelm Bridges, who’s more of a crooner than a screamer. The 29-year-old has also grown as a songwriter. “Beyond” describes the singer’s fear of a potentially lifelong relationship (“I’m scared to death that she might be it/That the love is real, that the shoe might ﬁt”) over a Nashville-indebted backbone and with a vocal hook that you’ll be humming for days (and will likely never tire of).

Beyond Binary By Jim Fischer

riden Schueren knows what it’s like to be bullied, attacked and marginalized based on issues of identity. It was when he faced similar attitudes coming from members

of a community in which he believed he would be safe and afﬁrmed that his activism on behalf of trans persons began to take shape. “Being a trans person, I’ve always had the struggle where Pride was never really welcoming to my community, and walking in Pride, holding my partner’s hand, and they looked like a cisgendered person

and I looked like a cisgendered person, we might get called a ‘breeder,’” Schueren said in a recent interview at a Downtown coffee shop. “I’m straight, but I am trans. I need to be part of some kind of community, part of the LGBT community. I’d been ﬁghting for my identity all my life, and now the community I felt I was safe in is telling me I’m not part of that

community. … I just felt like there was room for some way to celebrate trans and gender nonbinary and gender nonconforming people.” Beyond Binary is a Stonewall Columbus-sponsored event that Schueren helped organize in his new role as a member of the Stonewall board. The decision to join the board of Stonewall, which puts

people dealing with the same things,” Schueren said. He now speaks at businesses, schools and health and service agencies about trans issues. When the controversy over who uses what bathroom became a national story again a couple of years ago, Schueren put his ideas and skills to work in a photo for the 2017 exhibition “Silence is Deadly” at the Vanderelli Room. “I thought it would be really cool if I just got straight-up naked and stood in front of two bathroom signs. It was really raw, and it got a great reaction,” Schueren said. He said he’s encouraged that others have voiced a willingness to participate in an expanded “bathroom” photo project, when none seemed willing when he photographed himself just a couple years back. “It shows we are both moving to a better place and still fighting for our rights,” Schueren said. Also a painter, Schueren’s work on canvas is less-overtly activist and more personal. “It’s been, for me, more of a way to get through things. It can be more of an expression, a visual representation of something a person is going through,” he said. Combining both art and activism, Beyond Binary is an extension of Schueren’s dedication to acknowledge the struggle and affirm the individual. “Everyone is in transition, be it from high school to college or from one house to a new home. That I might be transitioning my body… transition is just part of life in general,” he said. “I’ll be fighting for us forever.”

on the Pride festival and parade, wasn’t easy, Schueren said, but he felt like it was appropriate to “fight for the trans community from within instead of throwing pitchforks from the outside. That works and there’s a place for it, but I felt this was the direction I wanted to go.” The weekend of activities is the unofficial/official kick-off to this year’s Pride “season,” Schueren said. There will be a parade, a dance party, an exhibition featuring work by trans and nonbinary artists, a market day featuring locally owned trans/nonconforming/queerowned or affirming businesses, queer yoga, live muraling from trans activist/ artist Rae Senarighi and a painting class with Senarighi and Schueren. It’s not the first instance for Schueren taking up a cause, nor is it the first time Schueren has used his art as a vehicle for activism. “Six years ago, I was working with a few groups, including Food Not Bombs — causes that sort of lined up with how I think, people who were doing good things. But I didn’t really have a focus,” he said. In recent years, Schueren has found the strength to begin to advocate for those who share the journey he’s lived as a trans person. “I knew there was something different about me when I was in second grade, I just didn’t know how to say what it was.

relOcated rOy By Jim Fischer Lynette Santoro-Au takes a break from hosting this reporter — for which she took a break from helping install an art exhibition — to view (and approve, presumably) the just-hung ROY G BIV sign that will greet visitors to the newly relocated art gallery. A team from Kobolt Studios, one of ROY G BIV’s new neighbors in Franklinton, had just ﬁnished installing the sign, and it was well worth the pause for Santoro-Au, the gallery’s brand-new director, as ROY G BIV readies for its grand opening in the neighborhood after nearly 30 years in the Short North. “The Short North has changed. Franklinton is now a place for emerging artists, new ideas and pushing the envelope in terms of medium and presentation and ﬁnding your voice, and that’s very much in keeping with what ROY does,” Santoro-Au said. ROY Board President J.D. Beiting explained how the changing times impacted the gallery. “Our building was purchased, and the new owners had a different vision. But we were given a lot of leeway as we planned out our future,” Beiting said. “Once we saw the opportunity in Franklinton, especially to be near and to work with other arts spaces and organizations here, this spot offered the best opportunity to serve emerging artists.” The gallery is celebrating the occasion with “Family Reunion,” an exhibition of works by artists who’ve shown at ROY since the gallery’s opening in 1989.

The pieces will be arranged broadly in chronological order, with work representing as much of the gallery’s history as possible. “We put out a call, and we learned that, for some times, records were kept better than others,” Santoro-Au said. “But then word of mouth and social media helped. We’d have artists reach out to us and we said, ‘Sure, we’ll ﬁnd a way to get it in.’” “The way we look at it, when you move into a new house, you have family and friends to help you move in,” Beiting said. He expanded the metaphor by adding that the next exhibition, which will open this summer, will be called “Home,” and will feature Franklinton artists. “You know, when the new neighbors stop by and bring pie,” he joked. Meantime, “Family Reunion” will feature past artists and gallery administrators, as well. Many of the artists are no longer emerging, and thus this is a rare opportunity for them to exhibit at the gallery that, in many instances, gave them their start, Beiting said. He also said that past board members and directors have gone on, not only to successful careers as working artists, but to careers in arts administration as well. “It makes us feel great about our mission, and it’s a reassurance that our hard work was for good,” he said. “It’s evident on the walls and in the people.”

Netherlands native Helma Groot has lived most of her adult life in Columbus, where she is a working artist and art teacher at Bexley High School. In between, she spent time as a youth living in Indonesia, where she said she was inﬂuenced by the culture in practical and conceptual ways that persist to this day. Indeed, the playful nature of her paintings, mobiles and assemblages, often boasting the bright colors of the Southeast Asian nation, belies something deeper. “Playful is a good description, but

‘endgame’ redux

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, May 2, 2019

By Brad Keefe

OK, now that several million of you have seen “Avengers: Endgame,” let’s talk about exactly what it was. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’ll refer you back to my 100 percent spoilerfree review last week, because the less you know, the better. (I’ll still stay away from the major spoilers here. I’m not a monster.) The more I think about “Endgame,” the more I realize it’s not a movie in any traditional sense. There’s not even a word for a 20-plus-part series of works. We passed trilogy here a decade ago. “Endgame” delivered in epic proportions on all the build before it, which was no small feat, but I wonder if anyone could come into the Marvel Cinematic Universe cold and enjoy this. It’s part of how ﬁlm is changing. This was closer to the ﬁnale of a television series that you “binged” over ten years. But much of my joy in “Endgame” also came in its unexpectedness. Within 20 minutes there was an unforeseen turn that set the tone. You don’t know what to expect next, which is the way movies should be. Then there’s the second-act “time heist.” I’ve heard some think it dragged,

but I thought it was the most fun. We knew we’d get the most epic end battle, but we got bonus time travel! And again, the revisiting of previous scenes in the MCU with dueling Avengers isn’t something most movies can pull off. Raise your hand if you were expecting a “Back to the Future” angle. That’s the kind of fun that “Endgame” needed. We knew the stakes were high, as in “half the world is dead.” We figured that not all of these beloved characters would survive this one. But for a movie that left people literally sobbing in the aisles at the end, it’s the playful bits that make that three hours go by so fast. Let’s give it up for a couple of cast members that finally got to have some fun. Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce/Hulk hybrid taking selfies with fans! Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man nailing his moments of comic relief! Fat Thor! Fat Thor! They even landed the Lebowski reference we were all thinking. And with the third act bringing the biggest action set piece yet (maybe the biggest ever?) and some emotional moments, “Endgame” really did have it all. It was a feat, but don’t ever expect it again. The MCU marches on. There’s money to be made. But there’s a reason there’s no end credit scene in this one. It’s over.

“boLDen” Actor Gary Carr stars in “Bolden,” which tells the story of Charles “Buddy” Bolden, often credited as “the inventor of jazz,” who spent the last 24 years of his life conﬁned to a Louisiana insane asylum.

“aSk Dr. rUth” This documentary dives deep into the long-running sex therapist’s past, tracing her life through her diﬃcult upbringing (she was born in Germany to Jewish parents who were murdered in the Holocaust), her 1956 arrival in New York and her subsequent fame as a plain-spoken advocate for sexual freedom.

also Playing: “Shazam!” Director David F. Sandberg makes a wildly entertaining romp that still ticks oﬀ the superhero requisites. It’s the superhero ﬁlm as viewed through the lens of the great kid adventure movies of the ’80s, and that’s a super fun mix.

“heLLboy” Oh, hey, “Hellboy” was rebooted (that’s bad) with new star David Harbour (that’s good) in an origin story (that’s bad) that critics have called undercooked and overloaded with brainless gore (can I go now?).

alive recommends: “high Life” With a pace and atmosphere that evokes Stanley Kubrick’s “2001,” director Claire Denis explores tough themes that make “High Life” diﬃcult to wrap your brain around. And entering a summer season where movies won’t often make us think, that’s a good thing.

Spicy Hop Chicken, Hunan Belly and broccoli

sPicy hoP By G.A. Benton Photos By tim johnson

hat’s a good name for a new restaurant that sometimes cooks food so spicy it can provoke a suddenly bug-eyed diner to excitedly hop up from the table? If

you answered, “Spicy Hop,” you might know about a cafeteria-style eatery that features ﬂavor-bomb Sichuan dishes. Located on Bethel Road where the defunct Aoi Sushi Bar once was, Spicy Hop is a spare, no-frills operation that’s bright, modern and tidy. Its gray-and-white walls — on which the establishment’s name is written with a

depiction of a red chile pepper serving as the bar on the “H” — enclose comfortable patio-style chairs and simple wooden tables adorned with plastic succulent plants. The rear of the restaurant is where orders are placed, and the Spicy Hop adventure really begins. Actually, ordering is a bit of an adventure. In lieu of a menu with costs

and food descriptions, Spicy Hop’s main pricing structure is spelled out above the counter: Diners pay $9.49 for two somewhat small servings of selected dishes or (my recommendation) $12.99 for three dishes; each of these options is accompanied by steamed white rice or brown rice. Keep an eye out for signs announcing daily specials and soups, and

Beef Soup of Sichuan Minced Chicken (with garlic, greens and Sichuan peppercorns) and Hunan Belly (fatty meat with enticing acidic accents) as part of the same meal propelled me into a coughing fit and what might be called a psychoactive reaction. I’m not saying I wouldn’t eat them again, though. I’d definitely eat the less-fiery Spicy Hop Chicken again (tender dark meat in a tongue-tingling sauce with chilies, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise). The Black Pepper Beef — sliced meat, garlic and sweet onions in a sauce saturated with black pepper — tastes quite good but offered tender beef on one occasion, chewy meat during another meal. Overcooked proteins also marred the chile-ignited Pickled Chicken Gizzards, so I poured its delectable sauce on my brown rice. This wouldn’t have worked so well on a previous visit, because the restaurant was out of brown rice then — expect it to be out of various advertised items — and half of my large pile of substituted white rice was gummy. Such inconsistencies aren’t uncommon here. But neither is compelling Chinese fare designed for diners who don’t require virtual training wheels.

expect to pay about $5 for extra dishes. Most core dish selections are made from already cooked stir-fries hidden under the lids of metal pots, which rest atop temperature-controlled electric heating surfaces. So be prepared to ask for a gander at any titles that pique your interest. (Dish titles appear on cards attached to the transparent barrier servers stand behind.) One more twist: Dish selections are generally scooped into separate aluminum containers that are placed — and presented to diners — in the kind of boxes usually reserved for pizzas. Not all of Spicy Hop’s homey Chinese fare is incendiary. Among milder items I sampled, the Beef Soup ($1.49) was as good as it was simple: tender stew chunks in a light-but-ﬂavorful broth livened by cilantro and scallions. For a swine dish that won’t singe your mouth, the ﬂavorful Sweet-and-Sour Ribs outscore the Crispy Honey Pork — fried batter wads offering plenty of sweetness but little meat. The pleasant, bright green Garlic Broccoli tastes pretty much how it sounds. Both the Tofu Salad (creamy chilled cubes in a sesame-oil-based dressing) and the Tomato and Eggs (large scrambled curds in a light, sweet-andtart tomato sauce) taste better than they sound, and function as good palate coolers after heating up on Spicy Hop’s scorching fare. Speaking of the chile-laden devils, eating the delicious-but-dangerous duo

Buns & BrEws cElEBraTEs onE yEar on ThE souTh sidE By Erica Thompson What’s it like going into business with a relative? The upside, ideally, is having a partner that you know and trust. But there are disadvantages. “It’s very complicated because I can’t fire him,” chef Will Hightower said of Kevin, his brother and business partner in Buns & Brews on Parsons Avenue. “Here’s the problem,” said Kevin, who serves as the restaurant’s general manager. “He’s creative and I’m more analytical. … I look at things differently than he does. So I have to give him my glasses sometimes so that he can see.” “And I have to give him my mind sometimes so he can think,” Will cracked. While the brothers’ playful banter is engaging, it’s their combination of fast food — they specialize in gourmet hot dogs — and entertainment that keeps their diverse clientele coming through the door. They’ll celebrate one year of operation on Saturday, May 4, at the neighborhood’s Avenue for All Festival. “The concept behind the gourmet dogs is to actually put a meal on a bun,” Will said. “A lot of people like jerk chicken. A lot of people like collard greens. A lot of people like pizza. So we incorporate all of those traditional ideas and toppings.” The result is a menu full of creative concoctions (the jerk chicken is the star of the Jamaican Me Crazy) and regional favorites like the Philly (with peppers and provolone) and the New Yorker (with sauerkraut and spicy mustard). Customers can pair the dogs with a wide selection of domestic and local craft beers. Prior to opening Buns & Brews, the Youngstown, Ohio, natives produced a local, award-winning film, “Uninvited Guest,” starring high-profile stars Mekhi Phifer and Kim Fields. They’ve brought their knack for entertainment to the restaurant by curating an open-mic on Mondays and a popular karaoke event each Friday and Saturday. Both brothers participate; Kevin’s go-

Will’s is “The Beautiful Ones” by Prince. “He thinks he’s the headliner,” Kevin said. “I am the headliner,” Will joked. “It starts at 8 p.m. I don’t go until about 8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m. I let a couple people warm up. But it is really a great time. A lot of people are doing it in conjunction with birthday parties.” The Hightowers work hard to foster a sense of community among patrons, especially with the Doggone Cam. They capture as many “ﬁrst bites” as possible, and display the photos in the bar and on social media. “[There’s been] a lot of community support,” Kevin said. “All our neighbors are pretty much regulars.” “The whole purpose is to eventually evolve it into a franchise,” Will added. “They say anything that works in Columbus will work nationwide. … That’s the next phase.”

Los Potosinos 1500 E. Long St., East Side One of the city’s most enduring (and endearing) taco trucks, Los Potosinos is operated by Lidia Labra and her family, who offer a warm welcome to visitors. The truck serves a variety of tacos, burritos and tortas, but the real draw are the dinner plates made with smoked pork chops, fried tilapia, beef ribs and the signature pollo al carbon — perfectly seasoned and grilled chicken. Bonus:

Los Potosinos Los Potosinos also operates a smaller trailer outside the Oracle in Olde Towne East Thursday through Saturday nights. los-potosinos.com Taqueria Jalisco 4640 Cleveland Ave., Northeast Side Jalisco is another one of the longer-running and much-loved taco trucks in the city.

The menu leans into Tex-Mex fusion: huevos rancheros, enchiladas, jambalaya, Cuban sandwiches and the like. The diner is getting a jump on the festivities with a Cinco de Mayo Eve party on Saturday, May 4, offering happy hour specials, beer and mixed drinks, plus free endless chips, salsa and queso.

‘Guns Won’t Feed You, But Hold Out Your Hands’

And forget for a moment the machine is itself alive

the dog, a child. A bullet’s path

and by design sated with the alien

is characterized by hunger – how far and how long

softness of organ, the temporary

and how much? The truth is the mechanics

framework of bone. Point its muzzle

don’t come naturally. It should take more

only at what you are willing to destroy –

than a ﬁnger.

notice your target and what is beyond it and beyond it – your neighbor,

It should destroy you.
