The Top 24 films from A24 rAnked By BrAd keefe I’m in love with a movie distributor. In the past half-decade, A24 has released more of my favorite films than any other studio — including two this week — and it’s not even close. My love for A24 is so great that my editor jokingly dared me to rank them (editor’s note: it wasn’t a joke). It’s like ranking my children, but here we go. And, Andy, I hate you.
24. “While We’re Young” It’s a lesser film from Noah Baumbach (“The Squid and the Whale”), but it’s still a sharp satire of aging hipsters. 23. “The Blackcoat’s Daughter” An underrated, atmospheric horror flick with a great performance from Kiernan Shipka (Sally Draper of “Mad Men”). 22. “De Palma” A documentary retrospective of director Brian De Palma combines interviews and amazing use of footage from his films. 21. “It Comes at Night” Check out this post-apocalyptic creeper if you loved “A Quiet Place.”
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
20. “Good Time” This frenetic crime thriller completely changed the way I thought of Robert Pattinson as an actor.
4
19. “Spring Breakers” Kudos to the studio for letting Harmony Korine (“Gummo”) make something this weird and glossy. Spring break … forever.
16. “The Disaster Artist” Maybe you have to know and love “The Room” to love this telling of its making, but I do. 15. “American Honey” This freewheeling story of a young runaway is more uplifting than cautionary. 14. “20th Century Women” Writer-director Mike Mills’ followup to “Beginners” was a celebration of generations of strong and smart women. 13. “A Ghost Story” A mournful love story that’s often more of a tone poem. Director David Lowery wears his Terrence Malick influence well. 12. “Room” How many emotions can you feel in the course of one movie? Brie Larson’s performance embodies a mother’s dedication. 11. “The Spectacular Now” Young love and loss play out in this underrated early A24 gem featuring Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller.
18. “Krisha” An estranged aunt becomes the basis for a narrative that turns heartbreaking and terrifying.
10. “The Witch” A supernatural folktale set in 17th century New England was an unlikely mainstream hit, but for a reason.
17. “Obvious Child” Director Gillian Robespierre created an endearing rom-com that happened to have an abortion storyline.
9. “Swiss Army Man” If you only see one heartfelt and inspiring movie about a lonely man who befriends a farting corpse...
8. “Moonlight” A24’s first and (so far) only Best Picture winner was deserving and incredible. And it’s No. 8 for me, even though any one of the films from here on could top this list. 7. “Amy” An intimate and wholly heartbreaking documentary recounting the short life of a generational talent, singer Amy Winehouse. 6. “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” Director Yorgos Lanthimos and Colin Farrell reteamed for their second dark, weird and wonderful movie under the A24 banner. (Read on to see the first.) 5. “Lady Bird” Writer-director Greta Gerwig just made one of the great coming-of-age movies ever with her directing debut. 4. “The Florida Project” This colorful tale, told through the eyes of a child growing up in poverty near Disney World, is an unexpected delight. 3. “The Lobster” The earlier Lanthimos/Farrell pairing gets a slight edge. This dystopian comedy is about as dark as they come. 2. “Under the Skin” Scarlett Johansson plays an alien disguised as a human who lures men to their death in a movie so beautiful and strange it could find no other home than A24. 1. “Ex Machina” It was not an easy decision, but I can’t put anything above Alex Garland’s mind-bending sci-fi drama. Now go watch all these movies.

rowing up in Whitehall, siblings Tiffany and Chad Wedekind were like any other children, though markedly shorter (at age 11, Chad stood at approximately 4 feet). Still, they were socially active, pursuing myriad activities. Chad wrestled and played softball, golf and basketball. Five years his junior, Tiffany later took up many of the same sports, as well as cheerleading and dance. Looking back through pictures, there are noticeable changes in their appearance as they reached puberty. The structure of their noses shifted, and their nail beds shrunk. Tiffany recalled dermatologists studying white spots on her skin in grade school. But there was no serious cause for alarm. Then Chad broke his femur bone playing basketball. “[It’s] the hardest bone in your body to break,” Tiffany said in a late-May interview Downtown. “A couple of years later he broke the other one. … That’s when his struggle really started.”

that probably aren’t being recognized.” In the meantime, Tiffany is determined to keep a positive attitude. “I want to be happy and I want to live my life and make sure everybody else knows that you can’t sweat the small stuff,” she said. “It could be a lot worse.” That’s a mentality Chad and Tiffany’s older brother, Todd, who doesn’t have progeria, is adopting as well. “Especially after my brother [died], you just realize that you can’t control things,” Todd said. “Most of these kids [with progeria], they are very excitable [and] very positive-thinking. So if those people in their situation can be positive, and move forward … then who am I to sit around and mope about things in my family?” Moping aside, sitting still isn’t even on the agenda for “Tenacious Tiff,” as she nicknamed herself after hearing the descriptor multiple times. In addition to traveling and hiking, Tiffany runs her own cleaning service. She also started the company Recycled Karma, which sells homemade candles encased in local beer bottles, among other products. And she will re-open the back patio of the former Double Happiness venue, which closed in late 2017, as a new concept this summer (hers was the glittery sign spotted on the door in late May). “The front is not gonna be the focus for me right now,” Tiffany said of the Brewery District establishment. “I don’t want to take away from Double Happiness. That place had its own buzz, its own magic, and … I don’t want to compete with that.” The entrepreneurial venture is a significant step for Tiffany, who said her condition, as well as her escape from past abusive relationships, has given her a new outlook on life. “I’m proud that I’m still here,” she said. “I’m like a cat with nine lives [and] at this point I’m on my sixth or seventh. So I really am focused on making a difference and I don’t think that I’ve had my greatest accomplishment yet. … I’m just getting started.”

By age 31, Chad was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, or a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valve. He had valve replacement and triple coronary artery bypass surgery. Doctors ultimately discovered both he and Tiffany had a form of progeria, a fatal genetic condition, which causes accelerated aging in children. The Wedekinds inherited the condition from their mother. Progeria affects one in 20 million people, and common symptoms include stunted growth, hair loss, decreased body fat, stiff joints, stroke and heart disease. The average age of death is 14. Living well into their 30s, Chad and Tiffany were beating the odds, and were featured in the American Journal of Medical Genetics. But Chad’s health continued to decline. “He had a sore on his toe, and it led to them cutting his foot off,” Tiffany said. “And then when they were in surgery, they needed to go up higher and took his entire leg. … And that’s eventually what killed him, because he got an infection.” Chad was 39 years old. Seven years later, Wedekind is 40, and therefore the oldest-living known progeria survivor. “She’s unique in several ways,” said Tiffany’s doctor, clinical and biochemical geneticist Dr. Kim McBride, who practices at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “She has a change in the same gene [LMNA] that you normally think of for the children who have progeria. … But it’s in a little bit of a different spot.” There is no current cure for progeria, but clinical trials are testing new drugs to help slow the aging process. Dr. McBride, who would like to see Tiffany enroll in one of the trials, is also hopeful that a study of her genetic makeup can help others. And perhaps in the future, gene therapy could be utilized. “In terms of awareness, there’s probably more people who are like Tiffany out there that we don’t realize,” he said. “When people think about typical progeria, usually you get this image of young children who look they’re in their 60s and 70s, but there are people who probably have milder forms of progeria like this

Where and When Will the other boot drop?
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
bY Justin mcintosh

If this were any other season, I would have rage quit a recent Saturday’s game against Toronto FC in the 57th minute when TFC went up 3-0. Thank Guillermo I didn’t, because 10 minutes later the comeback was on. When Gyasi Zardes redirected a Federico Higuain corner kick into the back of the net, you knew there was more to come. You could feel it: This year’s team is different. The other boot, it ain’t dropping. Sure enough, in the 81st minute, Alex Crognale drilled a loose ball low and hard into the corner of the goal, past a wall of Toronto’s defense; and then, finally, in the 90th minute, Higuain completed the comeback with a penalty-kick goal. Each goal felt inevitable. The lads could sense it, too. Crew SC centerback Josh Williams said after the game the team “could kind of feel Toronto get a little tense, and we began to grow in confidence.” “So once the second one happened, we were like a pack of wolves,” he continued. “I made sure to look at everyone and kind of let them know [that] goal puts us within reach. To look in other guys’ eyes, the look in all their
eyes was just intense.” With the tie, the Trillium Cup will rest where it belongs — in Columbus — for at least one more season. And if this is the last season, oh what a season it’s been! Even after giving up three goals Saturday, Crew SC still, somehow, lays claim to the league’s stingiest defense. Momentum is building. More wins, Guillermo willing, are coming. Possibly even another Cup. Can you feel it? Can you see the intensity in their eyes and hear the wolf pack circling? The game highlights were many, and given the way the week started, they were also majorly needed by the Crew faithful. In the last week, You Know Who released his latest stadium renderings
for his proposed venue in You Know Where. Officials in You Know Where likewise released a study of the site that said it’d be suitable for a soccer stadium. And MLS also granted an expansion team to FC Cincinnati. (Commissioner Don Garber was non-committal about what that addition meant for Crew SC.) Another boot, it would appear, is about to drop. And if I were a betting man, I’d wager it’ll fall, when it does eventually fall, on You Know Who. Do I have anything other than an educated guess to support this? Not at all. But I can smell You Know Who’s fear. And like any good wolf pack, our comrades in Save the Crew are circling. photo bY GreG bartram

Eric Jefferson has always been a creative individual. A native of Toledo, he graduated from Columbus College of Art & Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration. Eric’s unique style of oil painting has also been influential in his graphic design. He uses art as a positive tool to deal with the problems of everyday life and conflicting situations. His works have been featured in a number of local and regional shows, including: “Holler: Them Edges,” “Art & Soul - A Tribute to Black Music: Jazz, Soul & Hip-Hop,” “A Woman’s V.O.I.C.E. Art Show” and “50 Pieces of Black Gold.” His 1990s hip-hop-themed art playing cards are available on his website, theartofericjefferson.com. Eric shares his life and creative space with his wife, R&B singer Renee Dion. The two are preparing for her first national tour — make sure to check her out at the Columbus Arts Festival on the Genoa Park Stage at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 9. Here are a few things Eric loves.
12
My wife Renee Dion has been my rock and my heart. She continues to push me forward not only in my creativity but in my pursuit to be a better man. Plus, we continue to create great things together. From art events to web series to working on her first national tour together, we continue to push the boundaries of love and creativity. Family and friends My family and friends have always been my everything, from my humble beginnings to where I am in life today. If not for each and every one of them, I would be a completely different individual.
Music My style of artwork heavily depends on the inspiration music gives. If I didn’t have music in my life, I wouldn’t be able to create. My inspirations come from, among others, Redman, J-Dilla, Pharoahe Monch, Common and, of course, Renee Dion. Pizza What can I say, PIZZA IS HEAVEN! Columbus has some great choices, and you can’t go wrong with Hounddog’s, Giordano’s, Borgata, Massey’s, Yellow Brick, Adriatico’s or Rotolo’s.
Talisha Holmes The singer’s reputation precedes her. Last year, I wrote a story on the Columbus R&B scene, and many paid reverence. I couldn’t interview her, though, because she now lives in Nashville. I was finally able to catch her in town; she performed at Hanif Abdurraqib’s “Ships at a Distance” series on a recent Tuesday. She definitely lived up to the hype! –Erica Thompson Noble Beast We made a stop at this Cleveland brewery during a recent trip north to collect some Press Club awards for Alive (including best alt-weekly in the state, nbd), and I was floored by the beers I tried. This includes a tripel aged in red wine barrels with fresh Ohio peaches and a deeply smoked lager. I’ll definitely be back. –Andy Downing Bon Iver I caught a recent Bon Iver show in Indianapolis, held on the lawn at White River State Park. Even with some rain and a brief pause for a storm, it didn’t disappoint. Justin Vernon surrounded himself with two drummers, five trombone players and two multi-instrumentalists to create a huge sound that must have surprised fans who only knew him as the For Emma guy. It was my third time seeing the band, and each time has been a treat. –Joel Oliphint

StEVE EARLE BY JOEL OLIPhINt
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018

PhOtO BY ChAD BAtKA
teve Earle came to Nashville in 1974, at the height of the outlaw country movement. “It was a moment when the inmates were in charge of the asylum,” Earle said recently by phone. “It didn’t last very long. It never does.” Though he’s heavily influenced by Townes Van Zandt, whom he met as a teen in Houston, Texas, Earle also learned his craft from a school of Nashville songwriters he described as “post-Bob Dylan.” “I had really good teachers,” he said. “[Kris] Kristofferson had come and gone by the time I got there. Guy Clark and the people who taught me, they were all people who came there because Kris had been there before them, which gave them the idea that there was a place for them in Nashville. … I really see what I do as a recording artist going right back to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson and what was happening in Texas and Tennessee simultaneously.” Jennings holds a particularly special place in Earle’s life, so it came as no surprise when Steve Earle & the Dukes’ 2017 album, So You Wannabe an Outlaw, arrived dedicated to the memory of Jennings, who died in 2002. While Earle has explored just about every offshoot of Southern-incubated music in his career (folk, roots rock, blues), So You Wannabe an Outlaw traces a direct line back to those mid-’70s Nashville days. “It’s a country record, on purpose,” Earle said. Tearjerkers such as “News from Colorado” and “Goodbye Michelangelo” (a tribute to Guy Clark, who died in 2016) are paired with “The Firebreak Line,” a boom-chickaboom burner in which Earle inhabits the character of “a wildfire fightin’ fool,” and “Fixin’ to Die,” a “Hey Joe”-evoking throatclearer that finds Earle singing as a murderous Death Row inmate (“Fixin’ to die and I reckon I’m goin’ to hell,” he growls).
tell us. He stopped talking when he was 19 months old. He seems to understand most of what’s going on around him, but he’s limited on what he can communicate back to us. He has some signs and uses a program on the iPad. ‌ I can’t imagine my life without [an iPad] as far as trying to be a father to John Henry.â€? Plus, Earle is now sober — a claim he couldn’t make in wilder days that culminated in jail time for drugs and weapons possession in 1993. “I wasn’t always completely out of control when Justin was growing up, but I was some of the time, and I’ve been sober the whole time with John Henry,â€? he said. “Both Ian and Justin, it’s not lost on them that I’m a little different dad now than I was then.â€? After 23 years of sobriety, Earle still calls his sponsor and goes to meetings regularly. Those meetings give him a front-row seat to America’s opiate problem, which has completely changed the experiences of addiction and relapse. Like many experts, Earle attributes the new, more-dangerous landscape to fentanyl, the highly addictive opioid initially used as a pain medication that’s now being cut into heroin and contributing to an epidemic of overdose deaths. At meetings over the years, people would relapse, or “go back out,â€? and then come back to talk about the experience. “Usually they would come back in and say, ‘Boy, it really sucks out there, and it was part of my recovery,’â€? Earle said. “Now, as often as not, when they go back out they die. Usually within days. We don’t get them back. That’s how dangerous it is out there.â€? Earle’s advice? Don’t go back out. “It’s not what you remember. It is different out there. It is worse. It’s so much stronger,â€? he said. “Trust me, the first thing you’ll probably know that I went out is when you read that I died.â€?

On “This is How it Ends,� a duet with Miranda Lambert, Earle charts a relationship that starts as a fairy tale but spirals downward into heartbreak — a topic Earle knows well after living through the beginning and end of seven marriages, most recently with singer-songwriter Allison Moorer (the two divorced in 2014). These days, Earle said he’s in no rush to jump into another committed relationship. “I’m 63 and I like sitting wherever I want to when I go to the movies, I’ve discovered, and I can watch all the baseball I want to, so I’m probably more reluctant to give that up,� said Earle, who has called New York City home for more than 10 years. “And dates are kind of a bummer, I discovered before I gave up on them. People go out in social situations and stare at their phones. It’s kind of boring.� Plus, Earle said his 8-year-old son, John Henry, is his main focus. “Being a single dad and being single are not the same thing,� he said. “When I’m home I wanna spend as much time with him as I can, simply because I have to be gone so much to be able to make a living. I’m gonna pick him up here in about an hour and a half, and we’ll go straight to the park, and then I’ll fix dinner and we’ll watch baseball on TV, and then I’ll put him to bed and take him to school tomorrow. And then the day after that I fly out of town and meet the [tour] bus.� In between two legs of a tour with Lucinda Williams and Dwight Yoakam, Earle & the Dukes are playing shows as part of the Copperhead Road 30th Anniversary Tour, which will make a stop at the Newport Music Hall on Sunday, June 10; during those dates, the band will perform Earle’s 1988 album, Copperhead Road, in its entirety. Earle has two older children from previous marriages, Ian and Justin Townes Earle (also an acclaimed singersongwriter), but parenting the last several years has been a far different experience. While other parents struggle with how and when to introduce touch-screen tech to their kids, the devices have been a godsend to Earle. “I’ve got a little boy with autism, and part of the way he communicates is with an iPad,� he said. “There’s things about him we don’t know yet because he can’t

Since the mid-’90s, Toronto-bred brothers Travis and Dallas Good have led the Sadies through countless iterations of country and rock ’n’ roll, often inviting in collaborators like Neko Case, Robyn Hitchcock, Jon Langford of the Mekons and more. And the quality has rarely dipped, no matter what corner the Sadies were exploring. The band’s 2009 collab with John Doe, Country Club, is a standout in the Sadies’ vast catalogue, and the accompanying tour, which made a stop at Rumba Cafe the same year, is in the top 10 shows I’ve caught at the club. As impressive as the Goods sound on record, the siblings truly shine on stage, effortlessly harmonizing and dazzling with their guitar heroics. In the band’s early days, Kurt Vile played the support slot on a tour, and Vile shows up on a track from the band’s most recent album, Northern Passages. “It’s Easy (Like Walking)” fits seamlessly into the casually cool vibe set by several of the album’s songs; “Riverview Fog,” “The Elements of Song” and “The Good Years” are some of the most mellow in the Sadies’ long career, with the guitars setting the mood rather than storming the stage. Even in a more melancholy, pastoral state of mind, the Good brothers don’t disappoint.

gARBAge gReek By Andy downing Garbage Greek singer/ guitarist Lee Mason would probably hate how clearly his speaking voice rings out on a digital recorder in interviews. After all, when the band started sessions at Musicol Recording for its new full length, It’s Not Always Easy Being a Ghost, Mason had to pause the proceedings to ask engineer Keith Hanlon to swap out one key piece of equipment. “The microphone was too nice. I could hear myself too well, and I was like, ‘No, no, this isn’t going to work. We’d like to use a mic that’s — I don’t know how to put it — shittier?’ So Keith was like, ‘Well, we have this old microphone.’ What was it from, the Korean War [era] or something?”
Mason said in a Downtown interview with bandmates Jason Winner, Adam Scoppa and Patrick Koch (Stefan Doke completes the full Garbage Greek lineup, though the band also plans to tour as a three-piece this summer with Mason, Koch and Winner). “It was this tiny green thing that looked like it was going to break, and when I sang out of it I was like, ‘This is perfect.’” The lower-quality gear reminded Mason of the mics the band employs in its practice space, which tend to be a little more distorted and “a little more general garbage,” as he explained. While Mason was responsible for much of Garbage Greek’s 2016 debut — he cobbled together 10 or so songs that were too loud for his other band, the still-active Comrade Question, with
the idea of starting a rowdier, meaner side project — It’s Not Always Easy is a more collaborative affair, shaped during months of practice sessions and then captured to tape in two days during a solar eclipse, which allowed the band members to amuse themselves by looking at photos of President Donald Trump staring at the sun in between takes. Mason estimates the group cycled through more than 25 tunes to land on the 11 that make up the album. While the band’s debut rarely lifted a foot from the throttle, this new record offers more musically diversity, incorporating tunes such as the spacious, slowbuilding “Skull Mountain” and the heavy, doomladen “Cold Heart,” which took shape after Scoppa asked Mason to play “the sludgiest riff” he could conjure. “That one has Black Sabbath, Black Angels — basically all the ‘Black’ bands,” Mason
said, and laughed. Indeed, it was actually slower, more strippeddown turns such as “Skull Mountain” and simmering album closer “Walk Away” that presented a bigger challenge when compared with buzzing rippers like “Disappear.” “‘Walk Away’ was one where Jason came up with a drum beat … and we liked it so much we didn’t want to clog it up with guitars, so it’s pretty much three notes and a lot of drums,” Mason said. “When you’re playing slower there’s just tons of space and you’re constantly thinking how to fill each part. And a lot of times the answer is don’t. Don’t fill it. Just let it go.”

If you happen to come upon Bryce Wood in his car, holding a phone in each hand and mumbling gibberish, don’t be concerned. It’s all part of Wheelbarrel’s creative process. On one phone, singer/guitarist Wood plays back an instrumental guitar track, and on the other phone he records himself conjuring a melody consisting of a slurred mix of words and non-words to go with the guitar. “It’s complete nonsense,” Wood said recently at a Clintonville coffee shop, joined by his two Wheelbarrel bandmates, bassist Chad Welling and drummer Adam Harshberger. “In his defense, the nonsense is normally pretty cool,” Harshberger said.
“I’ll try to decode the nonsense and make it real words that I have no intention of keeping — words that don’t make sense,” Wood said. “Like, ‘It sounds like I said “ocean line” here.’ Then Adam, he’s good at editing and making it all work together. He takes it from ‘ocean line’ to ‘frozen time.’” Even though the songs begin incoherently, by the end, the tracks on Wheelbarrel’s debut four-song EP, Feast on Sand, share loose lyrical connections. On leadoff track “Traced,” a nervy, post-punk sing-along with snaking guitar lines, Wood sings about passing time — a topic that resurfaces on “Mandatory” as a clock keeps time, and again on “Sacred Things” when Wood sings, “Time moves in rhythms I don’t understand.”
“The songs are about time and people and other things we can’t quite grasp,” Wood said. The EP’s title track, which starts out in the vein of vintage alt-rock and then pivots to melodic slowcore, began in a less impressionistic, more didactic manner. “Initially it was this really heavy-handed thing about social media,” Harshberger said. “Eventually it got to be like, ‘I don’t wanna do that. I don’t wanna make some definitive statement about something.’ A lot of the lyrics are pondering and ruminating, attaching symbols to things to make sense of them.” The trio will celebrate the release of Feast on Sand with a show at Cafe Bourbon St. on Friday, June 8. Even though the three bandmates have only been playing together for a year, Wood and Harshberger have known each other since their early days as neighbors and high school classmates in Norwalk, Ohio. The two met Welling after moving to Columbus several years ago for college. “I would always hear them playing music next door, and that’s how I met them,” Welling said. “I would just go over there, like the bat signal was up.” The three friends played in various bands together, and after launching Wheelbarrel, they headed to Relay Recording to work with Jon Fintel last August. The band didn’t have a specific sound in mind, instead letting Fintel’s instincts and expertise guide them through the process. “We were able to be like, ‘Jon, can we make it sound creamier?’ And Jon would do it,” Wood said. Making Feast on Sand also helped Wheelbarrel realize how it works best as a creative unit — even if it meant starting with nonsense.

CAMp punk in DruBliC At legenD VAlley By ABernAthy Miller rinehArt “Tonight, punk rock royalty is in Thornville,” Pennywise frontman Jim Lindberg said halfway through a thrashing Saturday night set. Lindberg was referring to
legends such as Jello Biafra, the Descendents, the Vandals, Rancid, Goldfinger and more, who played for 20,000 fans at the first ever Camp Punk in Drublic, a three-day craft beer and punk music festival at Legend Valley. But one punk legend was noticeably absent.
NOFX — whose studio album Punk in Drublic gave the fest its name — was dropped from the lineup the day before the festival started, along with Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, replaced by the Descendents and the Vandals. The sudden switch was due to NOFX lead singer Fat Mike and
guitarist Eric Melvin making insensitive comments about the October 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas, which left 58 dead. “I guess you only get shot in Vegas if you’re in a country band,” Melvin said during a late-May performance at the Punk Rock
Music & Bowling Festival in Las Vegas. “At least they were country fans and not punk rock fans,” Fat Mike added. When Punk in Drublic organizer John Reese tried to address the elephant in the venue, “Where’s Fat Mike?!” chants reverberated throughout the crowd.
“I get it guys. I feel you,” Reese conceded. The response to both Fat Mike’s comments and the lineup switch were mixed both among fans and bands. Those who weren’t asking, “Where’s Fat Mike?” were left wondering, “Fat Mike, why?” “NOFX’s 30-year career is based on dark humor. But even I have to say — it was pretty awful. I’m hard to offend,” said Columbus musician Lex Vegas of the Cadaver Dogs. “But it’s cool they can get two high-profile bands — especially the Descendents. They haven’t played in, like, 10 years.” Greg Brenner, a 52-year-old who organizes a weekly punk showcase at Indianapolis’ Melody Inn and went “all in” financially to “do the festival right,” said he was “shaking mad” about the announcement and almost canceled the trip until his girlfriend, Kristen Leep, 41, convinced him to go. “[Brenner] was pissed off, but there were still a lot of great bands on the bill,” Leep said. “I get that Fat Mike has made a career of being a 14-year-old boy. But at some point, you have to decide whether you want to evolve or not.” Bands such as Goldfinger, the Vandals and Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine echoed the same
sentiment: Punk’s not dead, but it might be time to grow up. “I know Mike and Melvin had no intention of hurting anyone, but it came off that way,” Jello Biafra said at one of the late-night campfire Q&As. “Sometimes it’s better to apologize, just so we can all stay friends.” Goldfinger lead singer John Feldmann summed up much of the general sentiment during the band’s set when he screamed, “I hate guns but I love Fat Mike” before diving into a raucous cover of NOFX’s “Linoleum.” And once the mighty Vandals delivered a high-energy set, even the most dedicated NOFX fans started to lighten up. “I wish I would have known I was playing this show,” Vandals lead singer Dave Quackenbush quipped. “I would have done some sit-ups or something.” Though Punk in Drublic was forced to navigate a PR shit-storm, the festival ended up being a testament to punk’s DIY ethos and the communal camaraderie that can only exist among fans. Throughout the festival, people were gracious, chill and just ready to have a good time. “Even without NOFX, I’m having a blast being with other NOFX and punk fans,” Brenner said. “And now we have something to talk about.”

JAck white At express Live ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
By Andy downing

Jack White didn’t shy from flaunting his distaste for modern technology at a sold-out Express Live outdoors on Monday. It surfaced in everything from his lyrical asides — “Get on Instagram and get yourself some adulation,” he sneered in one ad lib on “Corporation,” a track off his prickly, bizarre new album, Boarding House Reach — to a tour policy that required concertgoers to secure electronic devices in Yondr pouches prior to entering the venue. In a pre-tour statement, White said he instituted the policy in the hopes of cultivating a “100
percent human experience” centered on music. Later, during a stampeding “Ball and Biscuit,” the raven-haired White even dropped lines about reading an actual newspaper — an oldtimey admission if ever there was one — updating the lyrics to shout-out “The Columbus PostDispatch,” as he called it. And who needs access to a smartphone when you have print media, right? Early on, White’s concert felt like an extension of the overthought, often overworked Boarding House. Aside from menacing opener “Over and Over and Over,” which built on a sinister, snaking guitar riff, songs tended to feel half-formed, com-
ing across like a series of ideas in search of a center. This included the puzzling “Corporation,” where White railed against the hollowness of modern life, sneering the “Who’s with me?” refrain like a guitartoting Jerry Maguire, and “Why Walk a Dog?,” a meandering blues jam on which the notoriously strong-headed frontman appeared to set himself above critics. “So why does a dog need to listen/Whenever you shout?” he snapped. At times, these earlier numbers felt like a heavierswinging extension of Spinal Tap’s jazz odyssey. Gradually, however, the disjointed musical ideas started to coalesce, with White and his
four-piece backing band finding steadier ground on tunes such as the piano-laden “Hypocritical Kiss” and the White Stripes’ shaggy, propulsive “My Doorbell,” where White’s braying voice beautifully mirrored frayed wire. Between songs, White carried himself like part biblical soothsayer — “The sun is going to disappear in the middle of the set, I predict to you now,” he said early on — and part midway barker. He decreed Columbus would now be known as “Leif Erikson, Ohio” (a nod to the Norse explorer credited as the first European to “discover” North America) and told a winding tale about skipping school in his Detroit hometown to spend the day traversing Ohio from “Dayton to Akron.” He then launched into the similarly exploratory “Get in
the Mind Shaft,” a bit of mystic, robotic funk where White, his voice digitized by a vocoder, came across like a wide-eyed, galaxy-trekking android. These futuristic excursions were rare for White, a songwriter and guitarist heavily steeped in music tradition. One looselimbed jam built around lyrics cribbed from Stevie Wonder’s “Living for the City,” and White’s playing on heavier tunes such as the primal “Black Math” and “Ball and Biscuit,” on which the frontman alternated between drums and guitar, conjuring a pachyderm stomp on each, mirrored the howling blues-rock of early practitioners like Led Zeppelin. Indeed, the evening’s color scheme — the band was lit exclusively in blue light and White dressed pointedly in black and blue — appeared to take its cues from the frontman’s physical, oft-bruising playing style. At times, White showed a knack for softer songs that offered a similar gut punch, twisting the knife on a slow-boiling “Love Interruption,” a haunting turn that fared far better than the wispy, lullaby-esque “Humoresque.” But more often than not the guitarist appeared content to hammer away, reworking the Raconteurs’ “Steady as She Goes” into a funk-rock flare-up and lowering a shoulder into the White Stripes’ arena-sized “Seven Nation Army.” “And I’m bleeding and I’m bleeding and I’m bleeding right before the Lord,” White sang. “All the words are going to bleed from me/And I will sing no more.” On cue, the frontman then launched into a choked, squealing solo as his backing band curled around him like a fist, the volume somehow increasing even as White’s words gave way — a glorious, sure-footed close to a concert that opened on unsteady legs.

As lead singer of the Babys, John Waite had a hit in 1977 with “Isn’t it Time,” then pursued a solo career in the early ’80s. Waite went on to front the late-’80s group Bad English, featuring Journey’s Neal Schon on guitar. That band’s No. 1 power ballad, “When I See You Smile,” seemed to blast over the speakers every half-hour at my public pool in Amarillo, Texas, during the summer of 1989. This Athenaeum performance, dubbed a “Storytellers Show,” will feature acoustic renditions of Waite’s songs. (Fans only)

‘the renegades OF renaissance X’ By Jim Fischer
T
here’s a feeling growing inside the Vanderelli Room, the Franklinton gallery/performing art space operated by AJ Vanderelli. Most of the work for “The Renegades of Renaissance X,” a Harlem Renaissance-inspired exhibition that opens with a reception
during Franklinton Friday on June 8, has been delivered, if not yet hung, and Vanderelli gushes with admiration for the art and the artists who made it. There’s a mixed-media assemblage by Queen Brooks that’s going to challenge some world views. There are cutout panel portraits by Richard Duarte Brown, like Brooks, a legend in the Columbus art
community and its black art community in particular. Ronald Anderson offers a misty paean to Harlem Renaissance-era life and culture. Lisa McLymont bridges eras with a portrait of Harlem Renaissance artist Lois Mailou Jones in a #MeToo Tshirt. Marcus Blackwell shows his Afrofuturism-inspired work. Then there are intense portrayals of human grandeur from
Na’ye Perez and David Butler. A late addition to the exhibition arrives courtesy of a piece livepainted by young artist Keian Hochradel during last weekend’s African-American Festival. That aforementioned feeling comes from, Vanderelli said, “a collective voice, an emotion poured into this show,” and “art that not only represents black culture but that is immediately
identifiable as black culture.” “The pieces are all different, but that thread that unites them exists in every piece,” she said. And so “Renegades” is not a literal homage to the rich cultural explosion of the earlyto-mid 1900s found, of course, in Harlem, but also in numerous burgeoning African-American communities across the country, including Columbus’ Bronzeville,

said. “That’s different from when I was their age and there was a complete detachment.” “I can only speak to my immediate circles, but the enthusiasm is there, the camaraderie and community is there, and the need for expression is there,” Blackwell said. “It feels very good to be able to look around and see people of color examining and thinking about, ‘What’s my identity?’ and ‘What do I want to say about myself through my art?’” Vanderelli said the idea of doing a Harlem Renaissance-themed exhibition at its 100-year anniversary was “a nobrainer to me.” Additional visual artists participating in the show include: Eric Murphy, Gaye Reissland, Leni D. Anderson, Michael Hodges, Nushu Wilks, Neisha Holloway and Simone Clayborn. In addition to Friday’s reception, Vanderelli has a preColumbus Arts Festival preview set for Thursday, June 7, featuring spoken word artists Queen Jami, Matthew Vaughn and B: The Poet. Music for Friday’s reception will be provided courtesy of LA Jenkins, Funk Infusion with Aaron Putman and John Ray, and DJ Kevin Brugger.

now the King-Lincoln District. Vanderelli said she didn’t want the exhibition to be a “history lesson.” “I thought back to the Harlem Renaissance, to those beautiful creative people who, for the first time in their lives, had the chance to breathe and look around and look at their identity and examine and express what’s important to them through their art,” Blackwell said. “I initially thought to make work that mimicked the style of an artist from that time — I really love Jacob Lawrence and his work with gouache — but that didn’t feel right. So I started to think socially, politically and culturally. And I ended up at Afrofuturism. It’s that look to the future as seen through the black gaze.” “There’s a history that’s happening now, that’s being created,” McLymont said. “I was trying to link the past to our current times. So I was looking at who created that history [during the Harlem Renaissance]. Artists like Lois Jones, they captured all of the blackness of the Harlem Renaissance. But I wanted to have new territory to consider. I was thinking about movements, and I felt like Tarana Burke and the #MeToo, that is a Renaissance of personal power, it’s just not arts-based.” While it’s unfair to compare Columbus in 2018 to Harlem in 1918, there are some parallels, McLymont said. “I see young black artists, people 20 years younger than I am, making blackfocused art but also building bridges,” she

‘sollers Point’
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018

There’s a feeling of inevitability driving “Sollers Point,” the fourth feature from director Matt Porterfield, which finds its ex-con protagonist, Keith (McCaul Lombardi), attempting to reintegrate into his suburban Baltimore neighborhood after serving a stint in prison. Back at home with his lovingbut-wary father (an understated Jim Belushi), Keith makes halfhearted attempts to straighten up, though a short fuse and a knack for questionable decisions exert gravitational force, gradually pulling the young man back into previously established patterns. It’s a credit to Porterfield’s writing and direction — as well as Lombardi’s sympathetic portrayal — that audiences are able to maintain a degree of sympathy even as Keith does everything in his power to obliterate it. “It was [tough] … making sure that on paper, at script stage, we were balancing [Keith’s] impulses and negative actions with positive ones. There needed to be moments
where you really glimpsed his heart,” said Porterfield, who will appear at a screening of “Sollers Point” at the Wexner Center on Saturday, June 9 (the director’s 2015 short film, “Take What You Can Carry,” will also be on view at the Box through June 30). “It was so key to find McCaul Lombardi, an actor with real pathos, to carry the role. … So much credit goes to him for creating a character and performance that audiences can relate to — even if they’re frustrated with him pretty consistently throughout the film.” Rather than spoon-feeding audiences, Porterfield throws viewers into the action — when we meet our protagonist, we don’t know how long he’s been imprisoned or on what charges — allowing them to learn about Keith through his interactions with the characters that populate the film. Gradually, through these conversations, a more realized, three-dimensional portrait of a young man on the precipice begins to emerge. “I wanted people to be exploring the world and meeting these characters as we meet people in life,
where we’re not given a biography up front and we figure things out as we go,” Porterfield said. “I thought about it almost like a road trip film, where you have a protagonist moving through time and space and meeting all these characters along the way who reflect or mirror or give us a little window into Keith’s life, or life in Baltimore.” While, on the surface, at least, “Sollers Point” is more intimately scaled, the film manages to touch on larger social and political issues, including the disaffection of white, working-class voters, the country’s growing racial divide and, most bluntly, the role of white privilege in shaping narrative. Though Keith is in his mid-20s, his father scolds him in one scene by saying, “You’re acting like a little boy,” while an exgirlfriend blasts others in Keith’s life for always treating him like a child — a pointed line that purposefully calls to mind the divergent ways young white and black men tend to be described when facing public scrutiny. (Recall black teenager Michael Brown, who was frequently described in terms reserved for full-grown men after being shot and killed by police in 2014.) “Although he was incarcerated, Keith is able to navigate the world with a certain degree of privilege I think, and everybody kind of gives him a pass,” said Porterfield, who grew up in Baltimore and has a fondness for the region that carries over into the loving detail with which he brings even the city’s rougher suburban fringes to onscreen life. “It was tricky, but it was always on my mind to touch on these issues in an organic way. Without making an explicit statement, hopefully it leaves the audience thinking.”

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
If the idea of drawing in public is terrifying, you might consider attending the Drink and Draw event at Seventh Son on Saturday, June 9. Liquid courage, after all, is known to coax even the most timid of artists out of hiding. Of course, if you’re anything like local podcaster Matthew Ellis, whose show Heroes by the Pint is putting on the event, you might just forget the drawing part altogether. “We’ve had some pretty terrible episodes, some pretty drunk episodes,” Ellis said, and laughed. “When you get together with your friends … you kind of forget, ‘Oh wait, we’re here for a purpose, not just to drink beer.’” The purpose Saturday is to have a good time — whether drinking, drawing or purchasing art. Seven artists, ranging from local to nationally recognized creators such as Marvel artist Steve Geiger, will be on hand for a few hours of impromptu drawing. All the pieces will then be displayed around Sev-
enth Son for a silent auction. All proceeds will go to the Hero Initiative, a nonprofit that provides funds for medical needs for comic creators. The idea for Drink and Draw came to Ellis and his podcast cohorts — Marcus Stephenson, Ryan “The Toy Wonder” Brown and Chelsea Caslow — after participating in a similar one at Warped Wing Brewery as part of Dayton’s Gem City Con in March. “We had so much fun we started thinking, ‘Why isn’t there something like this in Columbus around the Columbus comic con?’” Ellis said. “We wanted to put something together that was more Columbus-centric, that tied in to the local beer scene and local comics scene, and something where, if I heard about it, I’d be like, ‘Man, that sounds awesome.’” After looking into the official afterparty options at this weekend’s Wizard World, Ellis and company decided upon starting their own, independent option. “I don’t want to throw any shade on Wizard World — they throw a great convention,” Ellis said. “But it feels very corporate at times.”
Last year’s Drink and Draw at Wizard World, Ellis said, was hosted at the bd’s Mongolian Grill, while the official afterparty was held in a Crowne Plaza ballroom. “I wanted something smaller, more intimate and more fun for everybody,” Ellis said. So the Heroes by the Pint team surveyed the local brewery landscape, keeping in mind where it hadn’t yet hosted a podcast, and decided on Seventh Son. Most probably wouldn’t peg the Italian Village brewer as a geekoriented business. “We’re not a comics- or geekthemed brewery at all,” said brewmaster Colin Vent. “But as I started thinking about it, I was like, ‘Dang, we’re a really nerdy brewery.’” Vent, for his part, enjoys RPG video games and comics; another employee collects “Star Wars” and “The Walking Dead” figurines; and a third is into anime and builds giant Gundam models. “It was a good fit sort of by accident,” Vent said.

One of the harbingers of the genuine arrival of summer is when the Columbus Arts Festival returns to the Downtown riverfront. The annual event is much-loved and rightly so, but the sheer volume of quality work can distract from the fact that, aside from being art in and for Columbus, it’s also art by Columbus. Start with the Big Local Art Tent. More than 60 artists from throughout the city will have their work available for sale and lead demonstrations and workshops in various mediums. And pay attention to the Emerging Artists Program participants. Ten Central Ohio artists, including Columbus’ Toni Cross (fiber), Dimonde Hale
(painting), Kaylyn Gouhin (mixed media) and Andrea Kaiser (jewelry), were selected to be included in this opportunity for artists to get early career festival experience. In all, about 20 Central Ohio artists will have their work at the festival, including 2017 awardwinner (and past Emerging Artist) Kate Morgan, whose fanciful and enthralling 2D and 3D figurative work has become instantly recognizable. For the first year, the Wexner Center for the Arts will partner with the festival to present a day of Columbus music, including percussion ensemble Tigue and a trio featuring drummer Marx Lomax (who’s busy this week, as you’ll see elsewhere on this page), saxophonist Eddie Bayard and DJ Krate Digga.

Columbus Acts Opening for National Headliners at the Arts Festival
by Natalie Amodeo
This year the Columbus Arts Festival stage schedule is packed with performances you’ll absolutely love, including two major national headliners gracing the ABC6 Bicentennial Park Stage—Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) and G. Love & Special Sauce.
Honey and Blue FRIDAY • 7 p.m.
On Friday groove to your favorite pop tunes wrapped in PMJ’s classic jazz and blues style. Nineties favorites G. Love & Special Sauce just released a new album, Love Saves the Day and their hip hop blues style, strong vocals and electric vibe is a great way to wrap up the second day of the Festival. You’ll want to make sure you get there early each night to check out openers Honey and Blue and The Salty Caramels. Honey and Blue’s whimsical, sweet sound is both beautiful and breathtaking. Their blend of pop, blues and soul will open the night with music you’ll love. On Saturday you’ll be treated to the truly unique sound of the Salty Caramels. This all female Columbus-based band is known for using fun—and uncommon—instruments that give their music an assertive yet fragile sound. Watch them play the ukulele, glockenspiel or musical saw to add to their old school vibe and catchy pop tunes. The Salty Caramels are also featured artists in the Art Makes Columbus campaign, and you can visit www.ColumbusMakesArt.com/ to learn more about their music.
Browse artists in 15 different mediums and discover 10 emerging artists from central Ohio.

‘first reformed’
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
By Brad Keefe
38
As is customary, a studio representative stopped me after a press screening for Paul Schrader’s “First Reformed” to get my immediate reaction. “Feel-good hit of the summer,” I deadpanned. One does not expect light summer fare from the man who wrote “Taxi Driver,” but “First Reformed” is first-rate filmmaking with a performance we will likely be talking about at the end of the year. Toller (Ethan Hawke) is the pastor at the tiny First Reformed Church in the small town of Snowbridge, New York. He gives tours of the historic church, but his weekly flock is miniscule, particularly compared to the town’s megachurch, led by Pastor Jeffers (Cedric Kyles, aka Cedric the Entertainer). One member of his congregation, a pregnant young woman
named Mary (Amanda Seyfried), asks Toller to counsel her husband, whose obsession with irreversible environmental damage has led him to question bringing a child into this modern world. Toller’s own struggles are mostly internalized. He writes in a journal about his own dread. He drinks heavily, despite his flagging health. Taking ample character and thematic inspiration from Ingmar Bergman’s “Winter Light,” Schrader explores the backdrop of religion with expected cynicism. Schrader was raised in a world of strict religion, and Toller represents a complex relationship between the mind and spirit. (Note: Among his collaborations with Martin Scorsese was Schrader’s screenplay adaptation of “The Last Temptation of Christ.”) Updating the nuclear fears of “Winter Light” to reflect climate change gives “First Reformed” a
very modern sense of dread. As Toller does his own research, he finds himself asking if God can forgive us for what we’ve done to his creation. Schrader directs in a pareddown style, right down to the film’s aspect ratio. With minimal use of score or camera movement, he forces the audience to focus on the words and performances. Hawke gives a performance worth focusing on, and it’s perhaps the finest of his career. Toller is not a man merely losing his faith; he struggles with it. “You’re always in the garden,” says Jeffers, referring to Christ’s agony at the Garden of Gethsemane. “First Reformed” slowly builds toward an inevitable conclusion, but Schrader confounds those expectations with an ending that will certainly leave you talking. This isn’t easy fare, but it’s wholly worthwhile.

‘Hereditary’ By Brad Keefe
“Hereditary” Opens Thursday
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018
There are few things as scary as a movie being marketed as the “scariest movie in years.” So if your first question is, “Does ‘Hereditary’ live up to that hype?” I’d say, yes, it does. Of course, not everyone’s concept of scary is the same, but “Hereditary” comes at you from multiple directions. It starts slowly and then gradually becomes an unsettling and visceral film-going experience. The obvious disclaimer is that your results may vary. I can see the same young crowd that didn’t like “The Witch” (another film, like “Hereditary,” released by A24 Films) not getting their jumpscare quota filled. And it’s definitely got roots in traditional horror, so it’s not strictly art-house fare. But writer-director Ari Aster creates an astounding debut here, one that acknowledges its horror
influences before twisting our expectations in terrifying ways. Even if you’ve seen the creepy trailer, “Hereditary” maintains a sense of mystery, so my plot description will do likewise. Annie Graham (Toni Collette) is a mother of two dealing with the aftermath of her own mother’s death. Her daughter, Charlie (Milly Shapiro), is having a particularly hard time coming to terms with the death of a grandmother to whom she felt a connection. Along with her husband, Steve (Gabriel Byrne), and teenage son, Peter (Alex Wolff), Annie is coping with that emotional fallout when events take a sinister turn. The list of kindred film spirits to “Hereditary” would indicate its hype is well-earned. “The Witch” is not a bad touchpoint. “Rosemary’s Baby” is another. It sets up a
terrifying and unexpected third act of terror with a solid base of unease. And much of that later impact is made all the more unsettling by a searing family drama that hinges on yet another superlative performance from Collette. Under a blanket of grief, Collette gives a wildly wide-ranging performance that both sets up and sells the terror. Annie’s emotional state makes her (and the audience) start to question what is real. Aster’s direction is sure-handed. This story steers into unexpected territory with confidence, and whether or not you like where it goes, you can rarely say it played it safe. In the week after I screened “Hereditary,” moments from the movie kept revisiting me. This is one I’m going to need to see again, but, I say, believe the hype and the scares.

Danube Closed for renovations amid ownership squabbles, the future of the Old North fixture remains an open question
ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, June 7, 2018

n the morning of Saturday, March 8, 2008, I woke up to the craziest blizzard of my lifetime. Peering out the window of my rented house on East Maynard Avenue, I couldn’t believe how much snow had fallen. Columbus wasn’t just blanketed, it was bludgeoned: 10 inches by dawn, with more arriving well into the afternoon. Ultimately it totaled 20.5 inches — the most in Columbus history. My roommates and I all had busy days on deck, but there was so much accumulation on the roads that driving was out of the question. Even High Street was
reduced to a primitive arctic walkway. Our plans were shot. There was only one thing left to do. We went to the Dube, of course. Walked straight down the middle of High Street. Breakfast burritos for everyone. Seemingly everyone has a Blue Danube story — or a dozen. If you’ve spent any significant time in the campus-adjacent neighborhood known as the Old North, some of it was probably logged at the dingy neighborhood diner on the corner of Blake Avenue and North High Street. “It’s one of these places that has established itself over the years, and you
either walk in and get that feeling of, ‘I’m really comfortable here,’ or you don’t,” said Lindsey Heyob, the Dube’s assistant general manager. “And the people who walk in and get that feeling keep coming back, and they stay forever.” Countless people spent stretches of their lives frequenting the Dube because it was an affordable bar and restaurant with personality to spare — one of the last such outposts on a corridor growing more sanitized by the year. As old haunts along North High began dropping one by one, replaced by luxury apartments and brand-name chain stores, this
wood-paneled oasis persevered well into its eighth decade. It seemed both eternal and essential. So when rumors began to swirl last month that the Dube would be closing, a sizable number of locals got a queasy feeling in their stomachs. (No, not the feeling you get after pounding multiple Dube Dogs on $1 Burger Night.) And when the management confirmed the impending closure with a Facebook post on May 7, it read like an old friend’s terminal prognosis. There goes another campus classic, probably to be replaced by yet another gastropub.

n Tuesday, May 22, I was scheduled to meet Margetis at 3 p.m. to discuss his history with the Dube and his plans for renovating and reopening it. We were to rendezvous at the restaurant itself, but upon arrival a sign was posted on the door: “The Dube will be closing today @ 3:00 p.m. due to extreme staff shortages. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Inside, Heyob was breaking the news to her staff: So many kitchen workers had found new jobs in the wake of the closure announcement that the Dube would have to close immediately rather than remaining open until Father’s Day as planned. Afterwards, employees filed out, looking dazed and dispirited, feelings Heyob later articulated in a phone interview. “I just wanted the Dube to go out with the proper going away sendoff,” she said, “and I don’t feel like it’s really getting that.” With the Dube itself unavailable, Margetis and I sat down by the front window at Dick’s Den, the long-standing bar and music venue down the block that also serves as a bulwark against creeping gentrification. Inside, Margetis explained that part of the reason he opted not to renew Swaim’s lease was because he felt Swaim, 75, had let the building fall into a state of
disrepair that left it vulnerable to a shutdown. (Swaim initially agreed to an interview with Alive but did not respond to several dozen calls and texts in the following weeks.) “Bob hasn’t made any improvements in there,” Margetis said. “Not that I’m cutting him down or anything like that, but I feel responsible. I look at the future and I see that to save it I have to start now upgrading it and make sure that we don’t lose it. Because that’s all we got left on High Street. Larry’s is gone. Stache’s used to be across the street — that’s gone. There’s not too many left, man. It’s not going to be reality anymore. It’s going to be fake campus.” Margetis fears code violations under Swaim’s administration could give Campus Partners or other developers the leverage they need to get the Dube shut down and take over the property, so he’s taking matters into his own hands. He estimated the building needs close to $1 million in renovations, including new electric breaker boxes, handicap-accessible bathrooms, and converting the surface parking lot across West Blake Avenue into a garage. More work could be necessary depending on what Swaim leaves behind at the end of his lease. “I don’t know if I’m going to walk in and find it gutted,” Margetis said.

ohn Frak founded The Blue Danube in 1940, naming it after Johann Strauss II’s famous classical piece and/or the river that runs through his native Hungary. The restaurant began as a fine dining establishment, serving filet mignon and caviar as well as traditional Hungarian fare such as goulash. Waitresses dressed in traditional Hungarian garb, and violinists roamed the tables playing gypsy music. According to local historian D.A. Kellough, performers included Freddie Drigo’s Hungarian Ensemble and Jack Banby and His Gypsy Ensemble. Frak sold the Dube to a Greek immigrant named Tass Sicaris in 1947. Sicaris turned the place into a casual neighborhood diner fit for the postwar era, adding Greek food to the menu and hiring organist Clara Bloomquist to play customer requests on a Hammond B3.

Immediately, conflicting reports began to emerge. Actually, the Dube wasn’t going away forever, just closing temporarily for renovations. The Margetis family, which owned the building at 2439 N. High St. and had run the restaurant up until 1995, was reclaiming it from current owner Bob Swaim. Rather than killing the Dube, they were trying to preserve it. But could it ever be the same? Hoping to clear up the confusion, the week the news broke I called Steve Margetis, son of building owner George Margetis and property manager for Margetis Properties. I was surprised to find him as uncertain as the rest of us about the Dube’s future. Margetis, 55, spoke of developers who’d called him attempting to turn the Dube into an Applebee’s or T.G.I. Fridays. He also admitted his fear that Campus Partners — the development nonprofit tasked with “revitalizing” the urban neighborhoods around Ohio State — would somehow seize control of the business he grew up in. He speculated about how to get the Dube protected as an historic landmark and worried aloud about going down as the guy who screwed up a Columbus treasure. Then he asked a stunning question: “What do you think I should do?”
In early June, Margetis and his cousin Jimmy Sicaris announced plans to lease the building to a new, as yet unnamed operator. The menu will be pared back, with a focus on home-cooked meals, including Greek dishes such as moussaka, spanakopita and pastitsio. The interior will be redone, new windows added, and the façade changed to brick or sandstone to match the original Dube design. Margetis wants to keep the Blue Danube name but isn’t clear if he or Swaim has the legal right to it. “My main concern is not to fail,” Margetis told me that afternoon at Dick’s Den. “I’m scared to death. Because they make more money than some countries — OSU does, Campus Partners — and I don’t want to lose this on my watch, or I’d have to leave the city. Because everyone will kill me if I lose the Dube.”

In the ’60s, he passed the Dube down to his three nephews, known in the family as “the three Georges” — George Spandithos, George Sicaris and George Margetis. In the ’70s, Spandithos died, and Sicaris sold his share of the business to Margetis. Steve Margetis was born in 1963 in a townhouse across Blake Avenue from
the Dube, where his real estate office and Campus State Liquor Store now stand. He said he spent his childhood peeling potatoes in the kitchen and performing other tasks for his father, George, now 86 and retired back home in Greece. Margetis remembers his dad as a bartender with phenomenal showman-
ship. “He was ‘Cocktail’ before ‘Cocktail,’” he said. “People used to come from New York to see him bartend. He put a show on.” Margetis regaled me with stories, including one of the original bar burning down due to a stray cigarette, only to be rebuilt by visiting Wisconsin football fans who lost a bet on the Buckeyes-Badgers

game. He listed “The Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling and comedian Richard Lewis as one-time regulars. Although Margetis grew up in the Dube, when the time came to take over the family business, he wanted out. So in 1995 — incidentally, the same year Campus Partners was founded — George Margetis sold the restaurant to Swaim, an acquaintance who also owned Lane Avenue Travel, but kept the building. According to Steve Margetis, his father leased Swaim the facility for five years, with options to renew for three more fiveyear stints up to 2015. Swaim continued to run the Dube as a community hub with character, including some innovations that have become signature elements. For instance, he instituted the Dube Dinner Deluxe: two grilled cheese sandwiches plus a bottle of Dom Perignon. As Swaim told The Lantern in 2005, one of his first actions as owner was to clean the ceiling tiles, which had yellowed due to years of cigarette smoke. The tiles remained shabby after cleaning, so he decided to let customers paint them for a small fee, as a fundraiser for someone’s funeral. What began as an all-night contest turned into a tradition: Anyone who wanted could purchase a 2x2 ceiling tile, illustrate it, and submit it to be hung at the Dube. Several employees who worked at the Dube under Swaim praised the place’s quirky, casual, unpretentious vibe. “Everyone gets to be themselves,” said Amanda Grace, a server and bartender at the Dube since 2004. “It’s such a non-corporate environment, and you get to show your personality. And I think that that makes customers and other staff members so comfortable. It’s a really laid back, almost family atmosphere. … I don’t think it’s easy to find places like that anymore.” Emily Morgan, a server and bartender from 2014-2016, said she was inspired by watching her women coworkers’ “won’ttake-no-shit-from-nobody” attitude, exemplified by cutting off impolite customers or even throwing drunk men twice their size out of the bar. “I was kind of a dumb kid,” Morgan said, “and this is going to sound kind of cheesy, but I wasn’t really able to find myself until I started working at the Dube. I started working with all these amazing, strong, empowered women, and they had the biggest impact on me.”

tis sold the building to himself. Swaim’s lease dictated that he had first rights to purchase the property. In 2011, at the beginning of the lease’s final five-year option, he asserted his right to buy the building for the $10 price paid by Kollines 2439 LLC. The Margetis family fought Swaim in court and won. “That was not a very nice thing to do,” Steve Margetis said. “Trying to get the place for $10 from us?” Upon losing the case, Swaim allegedly could not pay for Margetis’ $45,000 in legal fees, so Margetis raised his rent and added three extra years onto the end of the lease to allow Swaim time to make up the debt. For George Margetis, this was the last straw. “He didn’t think [Swaim] was worthy to have it anymore after all that,” Steve Margetis said. “We didn’t want to have to watch our backs. We’ll give somebody anything in the world, but if they try to stab you in the back — we hold grudges, you know? And so that was it.”

Dube goes away, there’s simply no place in town that offers this. There’s simply not a replacement for this place.” When the subject of a revamped Dube came up, Johnson was skeptical that it could maintain its charm, citing the transformation of old-fashioned Short North diner Phillip’s Coney Island into the slicker, trendier Philco. Thinking back on my own experiences at the place — all those beers downed, brunches consumed, interviews conducted — sentimentality steered me into agreement with Johnson, who said, “Whatever happens when they reopen the doors, it won’t be like this.” No one will be shocked to learn that the recent-vintage employees are also sad to see this era of the Dube coming to an end. But, to my pleasant surprise, the employees I spoke with were also cautiously optimistic about the Margetis family’s rehab plans. “I don’t know that it will ever be the same,” Heyob said, “but I think any of the older generation
that comes in now, it was never the same to them. Everybody lives through their generation of what the Dube is. I have nothing but good hopes for them if they can make it happen.” Grace, one of the Dube’s veteran employees, expressed confidence in Margetis and said she wouldn’t be opposed to taking some shifts whenever the Dube resurrects. “I know that the staff is a huge part of what makes that place fantastic,” she said, “and it sounds like Steve is really open to having anyone [return] that has been there and wants to come back.” Morgan, one of the former staffers who returned to work a so-called “rock star” shift during the Dube’s final weeks, said Margetis, who happens to be her landlord, has shown her some blueprints for the planned renovations. She, too, is crossing her fingers and hoping for the best. “I think if they’re able to pull it off, it will be better than what it was,” Morgan said. “But I think there’s a lot of room in there to do it wrong.”

If Swaim’s staff has a rosy recollection of his tenure helming the Dube, his landlord’s memories aren’t nearly so fond. Margetis said a series of financial disputes spanning decades was the ultimate factor in the decision not to renew Swaim’s lease. According to Margetis, Swaim allegedly didn’t pay the down payment when he purchased the business in 1995, eventually paying it off without interest using profits from the restaurant. Margetis also alleged Swaim often paid rent up to 10 days late without a late fee. And in 2011, Margetis and Swaim went to court over the rights to the building. In December 2003, George Margetis created separate limited liability corporations for all his real estate holdings and transferred each property to its respective LLC. The newly formed Kollines 2439 LLC — named for a Greek village and the Dube’s address at 2439 N. High St. — bought the Dube for $10. Effectively, the elder Marge-
n Friday, June 1, dozens of regulars piled into the Dube for one last toast to the late, great neighborhood staple. Management had cobbled together enough staffers to open the bar for the night. The kitchen was closed, but blue plate specials remained scrawled behind the bar: Open Faced Meatloaf on Monday, Open Faced Roast Beef on Tuesday, and so on. At one point the jukebox blared Violent Femmes’ “Please Do Not Go.” As I wandered from group to group, people waxed sentimental about the diner’s significance in Columbus and all the friends they’d made there who now feel more like family. More than one patron compared it to “Cheers.” Many identified it as a great place both to get a hangover and to cure it. One group at the large booth across from the bar invited me to join them for a round of Jameson shots chased by orange juice. Perched at the bar, Andrew Johnson summed up the collective attitude that night: “If the

ew restaurants have a name as fun to say as So Gong Dong Tofu & Korean BBQ. The sleek, efficient and affordable eatery on Hayden Road possessing this exceptional moniker is fun to visit, too. Part of a small national chain whose name salutes the Sogong neighborhood in Seoul, South Korea, the company’s shorthand for itself — SGD DUBU — provides a clue to its menu if you speak even a smidgen of Korean. “Dubu” is Korean for tofu, and SGD’s
appropriation of the word is a reference to the restaurant’s specialty: the gurgling-hot, spicy, healthful tofu stew called soondubu-jjigae. If you’re new to all this, SGD’s small, succinct menu makes it a great place to get your feet wet with a cuisine whose popularity seems to be growing daily. If you’re already familiar with Korean food and its attendant party-style custom of sharing boldly flavored dishes — some with entertaining kinetic qualities — consistently good SGD is a great place for you, too. Shortly after being seated in the spare but roomy, handsome and modern
space, you’ll be given your first freebie: soothing hot tea, made with roasted barley and corn, that tastes nutty and a bit sweet. Prefer something stronger? Several Korean beers are offered ($4; $7 for large bottles), along with vodka-like soju ($13) and Korean fruit and grain wines ($14). But I recommend trying the less common, slightly sweet and tangy fermented rice beverage with an ABV in the ale range called Makgeolli (rhymes with “broccoli”; “$10 for 750 milliliters). Properly presented with chilled metal drinking bowls (tradition dictates you
only pour for others), it’s milky white, gently fizzy and brings to mind a sake-beer hybrid, but tastes better than that sounds. And it goes great with Korean food. That will start arriving, quickly after ordering an entree, in a free and unlimited stream of tapas-like banchan dishes. SGD’s banchan is good and spicier than most in Columbus. Expect crisp, tartsweet pickles spiked with chili paste; fiery and funky, ginger-scented napacabbage kimchi; crunchy daikon radish in a sweet soy sauce with jalapenos; a mayo-based corn salad with red peppers; chili-livened fish cakes; and a cooling, flavorful bean-sprout salad.
Hot Stone Plate Bibimbap with Chicken and Egg Drop Soup
Bulgogi ($16), my delicious foray into SGD’s kitchen-cooked (not DIY) Korean barbecue. A Korean answer to fajitas, this is an enormous pile of tender, thin meat and onions coated in chili paste and served sizzling on a metal plate. The rice-based Stone-Pot Bibimbap ($15), sided with egg-drop soup, arrives sizzling in a stone bowl. Eight topping options (spicy chicken works well) join a huge pile of sliced shiitakes, cucumbers, carrots, onions and more. Hint: Let the rice form a crust before digging in. I didn’t need the final freebie — a palate-cooling, fruit-flavored yogurt drink — to guarantee I’d return to SGD, but it didn’t hurt.

Soondubu-jjigae ($13) heads the first of four small sections on the appealingly simple menu. Ordering a bowl requires three choices, and two are no-brainers for me: chili level — I wouldn’t go higher or lower than “regular,” which is nice and spicy; and starch preference — my clear winner over rice or standard ramen noodles is the kalguksu, or pleasantly textured hand-cut wide noodles. The third choice dictates what else you want in your built-to-share bowl of copious soft tofu and vibrant house chili broth, which will arrive actively boiling. Your 12 options, which are wide-ranging, are used to flavor the stew, not dominate it. Requesting kimchi results in long, incendiary cabbage leaves, plus a good supply of bulgogi-like beef. Requesting seafood brings a handful of clams, plus two head-on shrimp. Both bowls hit the spot and are nearly impossible for one hungry, hearty eater to finish. Ditto for the sweet and spicy Pork

If you visit a Columbus bar less than 10 years old, it’s likely the building housed a slew of previous businesses. Sometimes the spaces held other restaurants and bars. Other times you’ll hear stories of once-active car washes, theaters or retail shops. At Ohio Taproom in Grandview, customers remember when the establishment was a candy shop owned by a woman who lived onsite. Unfortunately, she hated children, they said. “She had these glass jars that would stand on pedestals and you weren’t allowed to touch them,” said Taproom employee Doc Cordray. “But that’s where the candy was, so it’s like, ‘Well, how are you supposed to get the candy?’” Patrons have fonder memories of
Franco Policaro’s barbershop, which was open for decades. “We still have the old original pole outside,” said Taproom manager Kevin McAllister. “Sometimes we have people coming in asking for a haircut.” They’ll do it, but don’t expect it done well, he said. But it’s that neighborhood feel that makes the 5-year-old bar appealing. People come in and find their yearbook photos on the wall, bring their dogs on the patio and pass their babies around. “Someone just realized after four or five years we have a TV in the corner,” McAllister said. “We want people to talk to their neighbors and meet new people.” Open since 2013, the Ohio Taproom has seen impressive growth. The business started out just offering growlers and samples before meeting requirements for a pint license: extra
space, bathrooms and, oddly enough, a microwave. “It’s just kinda funny to us because we don’t serve food,” McAllister said. “We tested it once. It works.” Today, Ohio Taproom offers 118 Ohio craft beers (McAllister has been gradually adding brewery names to a mural outside). “People ask me if I’m the owner,” said McAllister, who, like most of the employees, lives minutes away from the bar. “I find that is a great compliment because you so enjoy working here that you’re dedicated.” “This is like my zen area,” added Cordray. “I come here to relax.” It takes about 10 people to pack the small space, but it’s only unruly on St. Patrick’s Day or after OSU plays Michigan in football. “It’s only one of the few times I had to kick people out,” McAllister said. “And actually some of them were my friends.” But the Taproom has no plans to increase its size. “We like the coziness,” said McAllister, who also described the bar as “a cross between ‘Cheers’ and your best friend’s basement.” “That’s what we sell here.”

Last month, Columbus Craft Beer Week coincided with the launch of the 2018 Columbus Ale Trail. This is the fourth iteration of the Ale Trail, a partnership between the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, Experience Columbus, Drink Up Columbus, Cliff Original, The Ohio Taproom and Columbus Brew Adventures. The trail encourages users to pick up a passport, visit participating breweries, order a couple pints and collect stamps in the booklet. Launched in 2015, the first Ale Trail featured 20 breweries; this year the number of stops has grown to 41. With the ever-expanding pool of participating breweries, the Ale Trail swag has shifted to a more progressive rollout. Instead of requiring a completed book to earn anything, explorers can now earn a pint glass at one of the Experience Columbus Visitors Centers after collecting four stamps. Twenty-one earns them a keychain crafted by Griffen Hollow Studio (redeemable at Experience Columbus or The
Ohio Taproom), while all 41 nets a special pennant at The Ohio Taproom. Breweries with multiple locations, such as BrewDog, Elevator Brewing, Four String Brewing, Ram Restaurant and Brewing and Rockmill Brewery now require only one stamp per brewery, as opposed to one stamp per location. Greater Columbus has welcomed new breweries to this year’s trail, including Endeavor Brewing (which replaced Zauber), Pretentious Barrel House and Random Precision Brewing. Even more significant is the growth of breweries beyond the outerbelt; these represent most of the additions to this year’s Ale Trail, and include Buck’s Brewing, DankHouse Brewing and Trek Brewing in Newark; Dalton Union Winery & Brewing in Marysville; and Double Edge Brewing in Lancaster. Columbus Ale Trail passports are available from Experience Columbus or at any participating brewery. The current trail runs through May 1, 2019. For more information, visit columbusaletrail.com.

a monument to those lost on both sides of the conflict. Formally founded as a “street car suburb” in the 1920s, Westgate is minutes from downtown, but boasts backyards and tree-lined streets.

The Record Company, The Record Company is a swaggering three-piece rock band with a raw and rootsy sound, but don’t call them a blues act. In 2013, they put out a fivesong EP, Feels So Good, that captured their rough-
56
and-tumble sound on vinyl. In 2015, the Record Company took their sound overseas as they toured Europe for the first time, and that same year the group landed a record deal with Concord Music Group.

TUESDAY, 6/12 Stephen Marley & Matisyahu, Bob Marley’s second son, Stephen Marley, first appeared on record in 1979, when he was only six years old. With his brother Ziggy, the young Stephen recorded the single “Children Playing in the Streets,” a charity single with the profits going to the United Nations to aid its efforts during the International Year of the Child. The single would also mark the beginnings of the Ziggy-fronted Melody Makers, a band that included Stephen’s other siblings. Stephen played a supportive role in the Melody Makers from the beginning as guitarist, singer and occasional songwriter. To satisfy his
creative interests outside the group, Stephen decided to become familiar with the music industry from behind the scenes. When Matisyahu emerged in 2004 with his debut album, Shake Off the Dust... Arise, his musical persona seemed a novelty to some. Here was a Hasidic Jew, dressed in a black suit with a broad-brimmed black hat worn over a yarmulke, and sporting a full, untrimmed beard, who nevertheless performed toasting raps about the glories of traditional Judaism over reggae beats in a dancehall style directly from Jamaica. In 2017, he issued the singles “Step Out Into the Light” and “Back to the Old.” $27-$30. 6 p.m. Express Live, 405 Neil Ave., Arena District. Future Generations x The Lagoons, Future Generations is Eddie Gore, Mike Sansevere and Eric Grossman - who first met in the dorms of Fordham University – and fellow Fordham graduate Devon Sheridan. As luck would have it their college housing came with a built-in practice room and a piano in the foyer that encouraged artistic collaboration. The three quickly bonded over a shared interest: a nerd-like, academic appreciation of all forms of pop music. Future Generations’ music contradicts the assumption that music always reflects the objective time and place in which its creators operated. Their unique blend of synth-pop, jazz, soul and electronica was first heard on their Summer 2016 single “California” and was followed up by their Spring 2017 Gems EP. The Lagoons are currently finishing up their second studio EP scheduled for an early 2018 release. $10/$12. 7 p.m. The Basement, 391 Neil Ave., Arena District.
Jungle, $20/$25. 7 p.m. Newport Music Hall, 1722 N. High St., Campus. Jorma Kaukonen, Jorma Kaukonen returns to Natalie’s for another pair of shows in one very special evening of music. In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Kaukonen has been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana, and at the forefront of popular rock-and-roll. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy nominee, he is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. Jorma Kaukonen’s repertoire goes far beyond his involvement creating psychedelic rock; he is a music legend and one of the finest singersongwriters in music. 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. sets. Natalie’s Coal-Fired Pizza and Live Music, 5601 N. High St., Worthington. Bad Bad Hats, Opening Artist: Shortly Shortly. Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis. Psychic Reader was the result of the trio’s sonic growth, drawing from the influences of all three members and bolstered by the experimental touches of the album’s producer, Brett Bullion. When it was time to record their second full-length effort, Bullion introduced the band to Connor Davison, multi-instrumentalist and frontman of another Minneapolis band called Wingman. Connor was recruited to play drums on the new album, but became a full-time member in the process. Since the release of Psychic Reader, the band has toured the U.S. extensively. $10/$12. 8 p.m. A&R Music Bar, 391 Neil Ave., Arena District.
