At full tilt A private collection of about 30 pinball machines became public Friday, March 16, during the grand opening of Paul’s Pinball Palace in the Glass Building on Second Street Southeast. Dr. Paul Yates, an ophthalmologist, entrepreneur and member of the local Dominion Pinball League, said he opened the Palace because he wants to “let the public come in and re-experience pinball.” The machines currently available for play (Yates will rotate in others from his collection) are those with movie and television themes, including Doctor Who, Judge Dredd, Flash Gordon and The Simpsons.

Paul’s Pinball Palace, which serves water and soft drinks but no alcohol (for now), is open Fridays from 7-11pm and Sundays from 1-6pm—and you can leave your quarters at home because $10 gets you unlimited play.

Charlottesville will give freelance reporters Jackson Landers and Natalie Jacobsen redacted copies of police operational plans for August 12 as part of a settlement of their Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit. The reporters also asked for Virginia State Police plans, but the state argued March 13 in court against turning plans over because they may reuse them. Because they worked so well the first time?

Legislative success While the General Assembly killed all bills that would allow Charlottesville to better control another Unite the Right rally, it did pass a bill carried by Delegate Steve Landes that will allow Albemarle to regulate parking on secondary highways.

xactly one month from the day that a gunman shot 17 people to death at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, local students and their peers across the nation said they wouldn’t stand for that—so they walked.

March 14 marked the first National School Walkout, where thousands of students left their classrooms at 10am to demand gun control legislation.

As a seemingly endless current of teenagers streamed out of Charlottesville High School, 17 students lay motionless with their eyes shut tight, while holding signs made of red paper and black letters that spelled out the names of each victim of the Parkland shootings.

“We’ve become numb to the fear,” said senior Fré Halvorson-Taylor into a bullhorn to about 700 of her peers. She was reading from a statement that she wrote with Albemarle High School student Camille Pastore, and that representatives from Monticello and Western Albemarle high schools approved.

“The idea was that it would be read at all the surrounding schools or otherwise disseminated to the Charlottesville community,” Halvorson-Taylor says.

Over at Monticello High, teenagers also flooded out the front doors of their school, but the students who organized their walkout asked for 17 full minutes of silence as the group walked, one minute for each person killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

And as those same names were read at Albemarle High School, an all-female acapella group sang Coldplay’s “Fix You.” Among the many signs held there, several said the same things: “Enough is enough.

Arm us with books, not bullets,” and “We care, but do you?”

Several local students are organizing buses to Washington, D.C., for the March For Our Lives this weekend.

A dozen area activist groups, such as the local chapter of Moms Demand Action and the Charlottesville Coalition for Gun Violence Prevention, have organized a sister event at the Sprint Pavilion from 2-4pm on March 24 to demand that the lives and safety of young people in schools become a priority.

t was love at first sight. Khizr Khan remembers the moment he discovered America’s founding documents as a 22-year-old law student in Pakistan. A shaft of sunlight flooded his room as he read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety, not even bothering to sit down.

Little did the law student in Lahore dream he would one day live near the home of the Declaration’s author.

The subcontinent did not hold it to be self-evident that all men are created equal.

“We continued to suffer under colonization for another 200 years,” he says.

Khan also was taken with the U.S. Constitution, so in some ways it seems inevitable that he would be the man who would publicly offer to lend his copy to Donald

Trump at the Democratic Convention in 2016, a gesture that launched him into the national spotlight and put him on his current mission to elect as many Democrats to Congress as possible.

In his 2017 book, An American Family: A Memoir of Hope and Sacrifice, Khan describes the corruption in Pakistan that keeps the majority poor, illiterate and struggling to survive, a factor in his and his wife Ghazala’s decision to move their family to Texas.

“No man is complete until his education is complete” was the mantra Khan learned from his grandfather. As an adult, he saved to attend Harvard for a law degree and support his family in Houston at the same time. When he couldn’t afford the deposit on a room in Cambridge, he slept on park benches.

In 2004, the Khans lost their middle son, Humayun, a captain in the U.S. Army who was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq. Hu-

Among a sea of signs in support of Harris, 20, who was working as a lead counselor at the local YMCA and a teacher’s aide at Venable Elementary School, one stood out: “Venable families stand with Dr. Dre.” Quagliana said Harris would not be speaking to the media or the activists.

“Your enthusiasm and support has meant everything to DeAndre,” she said to the crowd of approximately 75 people. “It’s almost hard for me to not be emotional.”

The attorney said the day was also very emotional for her client, who has been searching for the woman who initially gave him aid on the steps of the NBC29 building where he lay after he was removed from the parking garage on August 12. Quagliana said he wants to thank her.

“DeAndre and his parents want peace in this community,” she added.

Black Lives Matter-Charlottesville organizer Lisa Woolfork said the acquittal of a victim whom white supremacists tried to turn into an assailant was a cause for celebration.

“Our community is much safer because of this verdict,” she said.

After the trial, those in support of Harris took a victory lap around the Downtown Mall, chanting “black lives matter” and “drop the charges,” with their signs and banners in tow. Many of the same people attended a four-hour vigil to demand justice for Harris the evening before.

As the sun went down at that vigil, outside the city’s general district court and police station, the activists turned on flashlights in homage to the Maglite that Harris carried on August 12, “symbolizing his willingness to protect us when the city did not,” according to a Solidarity Cville press release.

GETTING TO KNOW KHIZR KHAN

Dozens of community activists showed up in support for DeAndre Harris outside Charlottesville General District Court on Friday, March 16. Harris (below, after the Market Street Parking Garage beating on August 12) was found not guilty of assaulting a white supremacist with a Maglite.

March 21 – 27, 2018 c-ville.com

He found 99-cent copies of the Constitution, which was how he had one to whip from his pocket on the world stage. “It was so convenient,” he says. “I began to keep one with me. I would show it to people as the reason we were here.”

The Khans were warned about attending the convention. “Our two other sons told us not to go,” he says, but he and Ghazala decided to go because Hillary Clinton planned a tribute to Humayun. “We were warned we’d be maligned and disrespected,” he says.

That backlash is almost insignificant, he says. “We’ve received amazing support. We’ve received amazing love.” Even a few weeks ago, he received another letter addressed simply, “Khizr Khan, Charlottesville Virginia.”

The national platform has “given me an opportunity to express my gratitude,” says Khan when he speaks to C-VILLE on his way to Boston for a conference on Islam and tolerance. He spoke at 176 events last year and is traveling nonstop—and pro bono— to support Democratic candidates and an America he fears could be destroyed.

During a short conversation, “gratitude” and “dignity” are words Khan uses multiple times.

“I remain humbly aware of the gratitude I wish to express, the blessings we have received, the dignity we have been given,” he says. “That sentiment dominates my conversation.”

Campaign collection

By Jackson Landers reporter@c-ville.com

O

Kenneth Jackson, who ran for City Council last year, took out a $2,000 loan from Jim Moore, which Jackson’s campaign reports claim was repaid. Moore says he never received the money owed.

“Using GoFundMe to raise campaign money is probably illegal, just as ‘passing the hat’ at an event would be, since you can’t properly trace the source of the donation for attribution to a particular donor or determine whether the source of funds is a foreign national, for instance,” Sincere says.

Moore says it was never his intention to run afoul of campaign law.

On the Facebook group page, he wrote, “OK. I’m sorry for this. I apologize and will remove this campaign. I let my frustration turn into vengeance. Please be aware that I did this with much advance notice and full knowledge by Ken.” Says Moore, “I made a personal loan and I am disappointed it wasn’t repaid.”

Jackson, who says he had nothing to do with Moore’s loan collection efforts, first ran for City Council as the Republican nominee in 2003 and lost in the general election. He ran again as an independent last year and lost amid questions about other campaign finance irregularities.

The Charlottesville native says he’s through with the city.

“I should also inform you that I have no intention of moving back to Charlottesville nor seeking public office there,” says Jackson, who now lives near Farmville. “It has no longer become the home I knew and loved. Now it is just a hate-filled city focusing on things and not people who are the citizens.”

The city used to be a community not divided by race, color, religion or gender, he says. “That city no longer exists for me.”

HITTING THE BOOKS WITH INCOMING UVA PRESIDENT JIM RYAN You can tell a lot about a man from the books he reads.

C-VILLE checked in with UVA’s President-elect Jim Ryan to get a peek at his bookshelf ahead of his sold-out Virginia Festival of the Book talk on Saturday, “Life’s Essential Questions: A Conversation with Jim Ryan.” Let’s just say that Thomas Jefferson figured prominently way before Ryan was named to head his university.

C-VILLE: What non-work-related book are you reading now?

Jim Ryan: I’m currently reading Jon Meacham’s biography of Jefferson, which is somewhat work-related but nonetheless fascinating. I wrote a report in second grade about “Tall Tom Jefferson” and was obsessed with him at that age, to the point that I persuaded my parents to take me to the Jefferson Memorial in D.C. Turns out a lot has been written about him since. Meacham’s biography is a good place to start.

What book changed your life?

Three books, actually. First, Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, which captured a perspective in a beautiful and haunting way that I had only dimly perceived, namely that our lives are a product of chance encounters and ad hoc decisions that ultimately have profound consequences. Second, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which is the only book (other than Goodnight Moon) that I have read twice. I have always been

fascinated by the intersection of art and science, and this book sparked my thinking about that intersection more than any other. The third is Born to Run, which is a book about long-distance running that both changed my perception about what constitutes a “long” run and made me a huge devotee of chia seeds.

What writer (living or not) would you most like to meet?

Robert Frost. There is a wealth of wisdom in every poem he wrote, and I am enamored of his voice. I would be thrilled to spend time with him, though I realize it’s not possible at this point, given my current location (and his).

What did you learn from writing a book?

Honesty works. I’ve written two books, the first an academic one and the second one [Wait, What?] decidedly not academic. But in both instances, I tried as hard as I could to be honest. Many more people read my second book than my first, but I like to believe that in both instances, those who read my books appreciated that I was doing my best to be honest.

Will your book be required reading at UVA? Ha! Though my publisher would love this idea, I would never be that presumptuous. When I finished writing my books, I was so tired of them that I couldn’t imagine that anyone would actually want to read them, much less be required to do so.—Lisa Provence

n February 22, Jim Moore, a supporter of two-time conservative City Council candidate Kenneth Jackson, sent out a Facebook message to a long list of recipients titled “Help Ken,” seeking payment from supporters for an overdue $2,000 loan to avoid taking Jackson to court on March 20 (after C-VILLE went to press).

“In desperation to purchase TV time, Ken asked me to lend him $2,000 against the $2,545 balance in the account,” Moore wrote. Jackson and his partner signed a personal note, but, so far, says Moore, he hasn’t received any payment.

Moore set up a GoFundMe to collect on the debt, but after complaints from other supporters, he disabled the account.

A campaign finance report indicated that as of the end of the reporting period on November 30, 2017, a $2,000 loan made by Moore to the campaign on October 31 had a zero balance, according to Rosanna Bencoach, Charlottesville’s general registrar. She says there is no entry for loans repaid on that report, “so this may be in error.”

Bencoach also told C-VILLE that Jackson’s campaign finance filing for December reports that the loan from Moore was repaid on December 12.

Moore says the loan has not been repaid.

Other odd information appears in Jackson’s campaign finance reports. One donor, allegedly named “Mary Mary,” donated $700 and lists her occupation as “horse.”

When political donations are collected in Virginia for a non-federal campaign, campaigns are required to collect the name, home address and occupation of the donor.

Fundraising campaigns on Gofundme.com do not typically collect home addresses or occupations.

At least two GoFundMe accounts were created in connection with the campaign: one that raised money directly for Jackson’s campaign last fall, and Moore’s short-lived effort to collect on his loan.

According to Rick Sincere, a former longtime member of the Charlottesville Board of Elections as well as the one-time chairman of the Virginia Republican Party, this form of fundraising may potentially be a violation of campaign finance laws.

Liquid intelligence: Get to know three of the women behind the bar

W

e’re just going to serve it straight up: Bartending is a boys’ club. And while there are plenty of women in this male-dominated industry who can throw down with the best of ’em, they don’t always get the credit and respect they deserve, from fellow bartenders and customers both (not cool, folks). So we’re turning the spotlight on three of the women currently providing superlative imbibing experiences in and around Charlottesville.

Mary Topp (previous page) Assistant general manager, The Virginian Restaurant

Bartending on the Corner “is a different animal,” says Mary Topp. Some nights, The Virginian is so crowded that there’s no room to stand on the floor, so the mostly undergraduate clientele stand in the wooden booths and sit on tables and order drinks by the half dozen (or more). Topp, who was a server at The Virginian before stepping behind the bar in spring 2017, estimates she’ll make 300 drinks during a particularly busy shift. “I can make drinks at an alarming HER DRINK: The

rate,” she says with a laugh. But it’s not just about mixing vodka sodas and cracking open cans of beer—she’s also a DJ, a customer service pro and a self-described “fun manager” who’s been known to hop up on the bar and get the restaurant pumped about a big UVA win.

Shooters—small, shot-sized servings of a mixed drink downed in a single gulp—are a big thing at The Virginian, and Topp and her colleagues regularly come up with new flavor combos for surprise shooter menus. When one of Topp’s regular customers dubbed a particular sour-yet-sweet mix “The Proud Mary,” Topp felt like she’d finally arrived.

Carrie Hodgkins

Virginia Distillery Company for about two years, though she’s been making drinks longer than that. She loves working her company’s spirits into classic cocktails and says she’s learned a lot from various women in different roles in the industry—she especially admires Steiner’s brand-building abilities, the talents of professional “nose” Nancy Fraley and the artistry of Lost Saint bar manager Carrie Hodgkins—and feels committed to sharing that knowledge with others over a dram or two. It’s something special, Beckwith says, when the same person who makes your Old Fashioned can take you through the distillery to show exactly where your whiskey’s coming from.

Amanda Beckwith loves whiskey. She loves to drink it (single malts, please), she loves to make cocktails with it and, most of all, she loves to share her knowledge of the spirit. In her role with Virginia Distillery Company, Beckwith does a lot: She drives the cocktail program at the visitors’ center, she answers questions for buyers, trains new employees on the unique qualities of each Virginia Distillery whiskey and even helps with olfactory and sensory analysis on the production side (she has a fantastic palate and a great nose, says Virginia Distillery Company brand manager Marlene Steiner).

“Having a story, a reason, makes it so much better. It gives the drink meaning,” says Hodgkins, who sees cocktails as a way to connect with history while simultaneously expanding one’s palate. Cocktails are a good creative challenge, too, she says: Since opening, Lost Saint has become known for its clever themed menus, like last year’s “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” Thanksgiving menu, where Lost Saint’s bartenders developed drinks inspired by the floating heads from Hasbro’s elimination game.

Hodgkins encourages her team to learn what their customers like and give that to them, time and time again. It’s never about what drinks she wants to make, she says. Instead, it’s all about figuring out what will make a person light up upon the first sip.

Drinking a cocktail is “like experiencing history,” says Carrie Hodgkins, bar manager at Lost Saint, the 30-seat bar beneath Tavern & Grocery on West Main Street. Sit at her bar and she’ll make you a cup of Fish House Punch, a strong drink made in a baptismal font. The cocktail gave committed diarist George Washington a hangover so bad, he didn’t write in his diary for three days. Or perhaps she’ll make you a Hanky Panky, a drink that’s particularly important to Hodgkins: She greatly admires its creator, Ada Coleman, who was head bartender at the American bar at the Savoy Hotel in London for 23 years. Coleman is one of only two women to hold that position, and she’s one of just a few women credited with creating a classic cocktail.

In search of a foolproof recipe, we finally found one at The Spice Diva, where owner Phyllis Hunter recommended this recipe from David Hopper (“an actual British subject, so he should know,” she says), whose Chutney Ferret Industries’ mushroom katsup lends the secret ingredient.

Drink to your health While it might seem counterintuitive to tie one on while you’re under the weather, here are a few boozy remedies for what ails you.

Settle a stomach If your tum is rumbling, you’ll want to reach for a few ingredients: lime, ginger and bitters.

All three help calm your gut, from poor digestion to nausea and vomiting. Try Michael’s Bistro’s Young Buck: Aperol, Peychaud’s bitters, fresh-squeezed lime juice, Regan’s orange bitters, sweet vermouth and basil, shaken and topped with Maine Root ginger beer.

Lower cholesterol Yeah, yeah, yeah. Red wine is great for all kinds of things—cholesterol, fighting obesity and the risk of heart disease. But which one to stake your fettle future on? Our vote is for Octagon, Barboursville Vineyards’ flagship blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, which boasts flavors of berries, coffee beans and dark chocolate.

It’s not just an old wives’ tale: A classic hot toddy—whiskey, lemon, honey, tea—is the best remedy for the sniffles. Around these parts, toddys best served with Spirit Lab Distillery’s single-malt whiskey (at home in your PJs), which conjures notes of toffee, vanilla, nutmeg, fig, date, cognac and madeira.

Part of the process: Drilling down on distillation helps separate substances with a low boiling point— the heads—which are the first liquids to exit the still.

Heads aren’t drinkable, but by tasting, smelling and reading several gauges, Glomski defines the end of the heads and the beginning of the hearts, or the second fraction to come off the still. Hearts are drinkable and contain mostly ethanol. By the same process, he determines the end of hearts and the transition into the tails fraction, which still taste good and contain a lot of ethanol. Glomski collects the tails until he has 250 gallons for the next distillation.

Fermentation First, he dilutes evaporated sugar cane juice in water so yeast can grow in it (because sugar is a preservative). The sugar mixture is cooked at 170 degrees for 30 minutes, cooled and pumped into the fermenters where Glomski adds yeast, which ferments the sugar into alcohol for five days. The resulting product is an 8 percent ABV sugar beer.

Queen’s run

Stripping run The sugar beer is pumped into the pot still, which is heated as quickly as possible with no effort to separate the good-tasting distillates from the bad ones. The stripping run yields colorless low wines (a very weak spirit) at about 30 percent ABV.

Finishing

After at least 150 gallons of low wines are produced, Glomski pumps them back into the pot for a second distillation. Low wines are heated slowly and their vapors are shunted into the rectifying column, which

Spirits run

Hearts from the spirits run and queen’s run are combined to yield a 175-proof rum with about an 87 percent ABV. It can either be diluted with purified water to 80 proof for immediate drinking, aged in barrels or mixed with other flavoring substances to make liqueurs, gin, etc. All spirits are bottled and stored until consumed in the tasting room or shipped to retailers.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

The “best stuff,” Glomski says. The queen’s cut is good enough for royalty. Tails collected from the spirits run are loaded back into the still for a third run-through, where very few heads are collected since they have already been removed. Tails collected from the queen’s run contain a high concentration of rum oils, which give it vanilla, caramel, cotton candy and molasses flavors.

hen you pour a few glugs of rum into your cocktail, you likely don’t consider how the liquor’s original mixture was boiled, vaporized and condensed. It’s simple industrial chemistry, but if you’d rather drink than distill, leave it up to the folks at Vitae Spirits, who seem to have a pretty good handle on it.

Perfect pairings

S

everal years ago, Gay Beery and Charles Gendrot were preparing for a certain winemaker’s visit to Charlottesville.

Beery, who owns A Pimento Catering, and Gendrot, with the importer Williams Corner Wines, found themselves swept up in the idea of pairing wines made by the visiting winemaker, Jean-Francois Hebrard, with a multi-course dinner made

by Beery. “It was like, ‘We have to do this dinner!’” remembers Beery. The crossover of their mutual wine and food passions was the genesis of what’s become a series of wine dinners celebrating vintners, wine regions and seasonal food.

Held not-quite-monthly at the A Pimento shop, the dinners are limited to around 30 people to encourage an atmosphere of intimacy and learning, as Gendrot—and often

Glass houses: Which vessel is best?

Tumbler

ixing a great drink is all well and good, but isn’t putting it in the right glass half the battle? Micah LeMon, bar manager at The Alley Light, says not really. LeMon writes in his book, The Imbible, and repeated to us in person, that the shape of the glass isn’t something to worry much about. A collector of antique glassware, he’s more inclined to simply delight in the beauty of the vessels than to lay down the law about what exactly they should contain.

Still, there are general guidelines, some of which arose from the history of cocktails—the invention of ice, for example.

“Ice started appearing in cocktails in the early 1800s,” says LeMon. “It was a luxury item.” In those days, people didn’t

like the sensation of ice hitting their teeth and so they fitted strainers over the tumbler-style glasses to hold back the ice while they drank. “The bartenders realized they could strain the drink and serve it in a stem glass,” explains LeMon. In other words, chill the drink, then take out the offending ice and serve the concoction in a glass the drinker can hold without her hands rewarming the drink.

The stem glass in question is called a cocktail coupe. A manhattan is an example of a strained drink that can be served in a coupe.

The tumbler is the versatile, heavy-hitter cocktail glass that can hold iced drinks—like an old-fashioned—or a spirit like

whiskey that may be served neat (that is, sans ice). A rocks glass is a tumbler that’s wider and heavier, while a highball is tall and narrow: useful when you’ve got a fizzy drink that you want to stay fizzy for a while. Even taller and narrower than the highball is the Collins glass.

There are more specialized glasses, of course. Martini glasses can be used in much the same way as a coupe. A pousse café glass has a stem and a very narrow body, meant to allow the ingredients in a layered drink to stay separate. The cordial glass is petite and stemmed, and traditionally serves liqueurs or cordials after dinner. Then there’s the outlier tiki mug—a ceramic vessel with a Polynesian-style motif, used for tropically

SPRING SELECTIONS

This season, Erin Scala recommends a trip to France (or as close as you can get).

DOMAINE OUDIN

(Chablis, Burgundy, France) Chardonnay One of the great values of Chablis with dense salinity—it tastes like the beach.

JULIEN GUILLOT

(Eurl des Vignes du Maynes, Mâcon Villages, Burgundy, France) Chardonnay From an incredibly old estate making wines since 910, now made by the sprightly Julien Guillot.

(Savonnières, Loire, France) Chenin Blanc From the center of the Loire Valley, this chenin blanc blends three vineyards to perfectly express Savonnières’ terroir.

bly and a value wall where all bottles are priced at $20 or less.

“Sometimes the best wines only become available once a year,” Scala says while standing next to a section with empty racks. “So I’ve ordered them and we’re just waiting for them to get here.

And when they do, we’ll have a totally awesome Germany section.”

In her free time, Scala writes a blog called Thinking Drinking, is a regular contributor to C-VILLE’s Knife & Fork magazine and is often featured on a podcast called “I’ll Drink To That,” which was recently acclaimed by the New York Times.

Whether she’s sampling a beverage from France or somewhere in her hometown, she takes the same approach.

“I’m really looking for wines made from fruits that have been farmed with a lot of care,” she says, adding that she focuses on ones that are sustainably, organically and biodynamically farmed.

But when it comes down to buying a bottle, it might be easier than you’d think.

Says Scala, “Ultimately, if you’re buying wine made by a small family, and it’s sustainable, organic or biodynamic, it’s probably going to be tasty.”

Can’t put it down If you’re the kind of person who only goes to book club for the bevvies, raise a glass to this Virginia Festival of the Book event, during which four emerging authors will give short readings of their work in a casual, late-night setting (think music, drinks and mingling). Grab a seat and a cocktail at Common House to hear Hermione Hoby (Neon in Daylight), Irène Mathieu (orogeny), Nathaniel Rich (King Zeno) and SJ Sindu (Marriage of a Thousand Lies) share their acclaimed fiction and poetry.

inspired cocktails, like the mai tai, that recall the mid-century tiki drink craze.

As for wine, the idea is to put whites in narrower glasses, while reds (which need more exposure to oxygen to fully express their flavors) demand wider-mouthed glasses. Alley Light stocks two types of red wine glasses: medium-width Bordeaux glasses and wider Burgundy glasses.

Tulip-shaped flutes hold sparkling wines.

And last but not least, there’s good ol’ beer. Pour it into a pint glass, or just leave it in the bottle.

hen it comes to wine, Erin Scala has been giving advice about it for years. Now, she’s selling it.

The Virginia native has served the wine industry across the country, most recently working as a sommelier in New York City before moving back to the area in 2014 and clocking in as the wine director at Fleurie. About three and a half months ago, she took over the lease at In Vino Veritas, a wine shop in Keswick that she’s already made her own.

A myriad of mostly emerald green glass bottles cover the walls in symmetric rows and columns in Scala’s shop on Louisa Road, where the aficionado has stocked an estimated 600 to 1,000 different SKUs of wine. And yes—she’s tasted them all.

The carefully curated selection comes from some of the greatest wine producers in the world, she says, with focuses on special regions such as Savonnières, her favorite in France.

“Usually, you’ll be lucky to find one or two kinds of savonnières in a wine shop, but we like to go deep,” she says. That’s the same approach she takes with cru beaujolais, a section she says she’s also quite proud of.

In Vino Veritas is categorized by country, with exceptions for dessert wines, bub-

the winemakers—talk with diners about the origins and qualities of the wines, course by course. “Charles can tell the story of these wines,” says Beery. “People are really learning.” A dinner might focus on Alsatian wines, say, or wines made by women.

“The idea is to pair food well with wine, so that both the food and the wine are a discovery,” Beery says.

To that end, she prizes creativity in developing her menus. “It’s highly improvisational; we use what’s fresh,” she says. “I’ll be printing the menu 15 minutes before people arrive.”

One dinner last November featured the wines of California’s AmByth Estate, a winery that Beery finds “intriguing. They don’t irrigate their wine field; they are biodynamic and natural.” During the six-course meal, she paired seared scallops with endive, roasted cauliflower and shaved pear with AmByth’s 2014 Paso Robles Decorus, and then offered charred autumn squash and sweet potato with the 2012 Playground, which Beery calls “a big red wine. It was a real surprise to experience that not with a hunk of red meat.”

The cost to attend a wine dinner—which are announced several weeks in advance via the A Pimento newsletter and social media feeds—is $85 to $100. “It’s an almost joyous thing to sit down with people and all be focused together on something that’s really beautiful,” Beery says. “They’re like little celebrations.”

Happier hours We call these “happytizers” —that is, noshables found at your favorite happy hours. Here are four top haunts where we go for the drinks, but stay for the food.

Rocksalt Wash down your half-off oysters with a $5 glass of wine Monday through Saturday from 3-7pm—and all day Sundays. Recommended: the Rappahannocks, which come from a farm near the mouth of Rappahannock where it meets the Chesapeake Bay, resulting in a sweet, buttery bivalve with a crisp finish.

The Belmont brew spot has happy hour specials every weekday, but the best of those is Thursday, when you can get $1 off liquor drinks, $1 off glasses of wine and $2 off one of the best plates of nachos in town from 3-6pm (don’t forget to add meat and beans).

Oh, and discounted pints, too.

Bang!

Wednesdays at Bang! means a selection of the downtown tapas spot’s celebrated cocktails, plus a menu of favored snacks—think fried green beans (which are really just a vehicle for the spicy sauce it’s paired with) and kale tortellini—all for $6 each.

Tilman’s This best-kept secret is a little tough to share, but too good not to. Weekdays from 3-6pm, tuck into the downtown cheese shop’s corner booth and try a $6 glass of wine, then pair it with a board of Moody Blue, a Wisconsin blue cheese that Tilman’s pairs with hot honey from Richmond.

Nothing to shrub at: The bitters truth about what’s in your drink

Brasserie Saison’s Smoked Gem, a variation on the Bijou, includes chocolate bitters, along with mezcal, Chartreuse, Cocchi di Torino and lemon.

beet shrub with local produce for his entry in the Tom Tom Festival’s cocktail contest.

Although both Dougherty and Spidalieri say the bitters-and-shrubs cocktail trend has tapered off in the last decade, each is a tie to the past.

“Shrubs are a fun thing about Charlottesville—it’s totally 10 years ago—but so what?” Dougherty says. “There’s something about the South that holds onto that tradition of family recipes, and shrubs were a part of that.”

What’s in a name?

The word shrub comes from an Arabic word that means “to drink.” Alec Spidalieri, bar manager at Junction, admits using terms like shrubs and bitters on menus might spark a conversation

between customer and bartender—“the right amount of nerdy for a lot of bartenders who like explaining things to people.”

Shrubs, which can be used to preserve seasonal fruits and vegetables, are vine-

gar-based, and can be consumed alone with soda water or used in cocktails.

“It’s not any weirder than drinking kombucha, which is way weirder, objectively,” Spidalieri says.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Spidalieri makes some of his own bitters in-house, like a mole version, made with high cacao chocolate, ancho chile pepper and espresso bean, that goes into the Belmont Burro (a mule made with mezcal). And he’s experimented with other off-the-wall bitters like a gin and tonic bitters and a tiki bitters with spice, citrus and guava.

He says he’s pretty minimalistic about his bitters options, generally using about three or four kinds on his cocktail menu. In terms of shrubs, he doesn’t have any on the menu now but is developing a

he two least-aptly named ingredients in your bartender’s toolbox just might be bitters and shrubs. Bitters, highly concentrated flavoring around 40 to 45 percent alcohol, started as a medicinal remedy as far back as Egyptian times, when herbs were infused in wine. In the 1800s, tonics and digestifs to cure ailments such as seasickness and indigestion became popular (using herbs such as cassia, gentian, orange peel and cinchona bark steeped in alcohol with additional spices added), followed by the invention of the cocktail—a mix of alcohol, sugar, water and bitters.

Today, bitters, which can be aromatic, tart, herbaceous or fruit-forward, are used as a flavoring ingredient in cocktails to add another dimension to the drink, says Reid Dougherty, bar manager at Brasserie Saison.

A manhattan, for instance, usually includes one to two drops of the granddaddy of all bitters, Angostura, whose secret recipe dates back to the early 1800s, but using orangeflavored bitters instead can bring out fruitier notes in the drink. And shrubs (a syrup made by steeping fruit in vinegar) play a similar role in that they have historically been used as a digestion aid, and add an acid component to drinks.

Although Brasserie has a strong beer connection (the restaurant is a partnership between Ten Course Hospitality and Champion Brewing Company), its cocktail game is strong—there are 40 kinds of gin behind the bar. Dougherty likens bitters to the salt and pepper of cocktails: They enhance the libation without taking away from the main ingredients. Although the process of making bitters is fairly straightforward, Brasserie relies on a stable of tried and trues—Angostura, Peychaud’s Bitters from New Orleans, Regan’s orange bitters—along with local and regional offerings like Embitterment Bitters out of Washington, D.C., and McCharen’s, made in Charlottesville, because of their consistent quality. McCharen’s uses local mulberries in one of its recipes and makes a charred lemon version that’s “unlike most other bitters being made, but very simple too,” Dougherty says.

For the forthcoming spring menu, Dougherty says they plan to pickle local hop shoots and use them in a Jameson cocktail.

“It’s not exactly making our own shrubs but using vinegar in a creative way that works well for our [food] flavors here because it’s palate-cleansing and thirst-quenching,” he says.

Alec Spidalieri, bar manager at Junction, echoes Dougherty’s thoughts that bitters and shrubs can provide balance to cocktails, with bitters tipping a drink over from the toosweet side and “opening up the flavoring and giving it some dynamics.”

One of his favorite local uses of bitters was actually in a Brasserie Saison cocktail—their riff on a Martinez cocktail that replaced Angostura bitters with McCharen’s. “It was a good drinking memory,” he says.

n the sunflower yellow kitchen at the back of her narrow house, Catherine Monnes drops a few thistle teabags into a pink tulip-shaped teapot full of boiling water. She slides the lid into place and carries the pot into her plant-filled sunroom. The evening light is disappearing behind the trees in her North Downtown yard as she sets it down among the orchids on her table.

Monnes’ home is full of things that have a story: paintings of a strangely tiny-footed Bob Dylan and another with three of The Beatles, as well as a chair covered in reptile teeth that she bought in New Orleans from a man frustrated that he hadn’t made any sales that day.

As she pours, Monnes, a multi-instrumentalist perhaps best known for her cello and fiddle work in a number of Charlottesville bands, recalls the story of how she came to own her cello. A bag of cello pieces came from a friend who’d found the fragmented instrument wasting away in a rotting case in a flooded basement. Other musicians and luthiers told her it’d cost thousands of dollars to fix—money she didn’t have—but she held on to the pieces for a few years.

At violin competitions, she kept running into the same young man in the wee hours of the morning, when both of them were still awake and searching for a jam partner.

Monnes soon learned that he was apprenticing to be a luthier, and she mentioned the cello to him; he excitedly asked if he could do the repair and Monnes says he charged her just $250 “to bring these pieces to life.”

A set of cello strings alone can cost that much, she says, eyes wide.

“It’s still not a great cello, and it needs regluing all the time,” Monnes says, but it’s

that’d be both in terms of bringing a cello into places it isn’t usually, and also making a cello sound ways it doesn’t usually.” That urge comes naturally to Monnes, who believes that every instrument has its own voice, and it’s up to the musician to coax it into speaking a certain language.

“I really care to be listening,” Monnes says. She thinks her ability to play music responsively is why she loves performing in projects led by other musicians—she’s provided cello work for glitter rock outfit The Sally Rose Band (the eponymous Sally Rose is Monnes’ daughter), goth-ish rock band The Secret Storm, experimental jazz group Restroy and flute-doom metal act FLOOM. When she talks about how touched she is by the number of musicians who invite her to play music with them, Monnes places her palm to her chest, closes her eyes and bows her head. “I’m really moved and excited to be invited,” she says.

Her upcoming set at the Telemetry experimental music series at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative on Saturday is a rare solo set. There will be some cello, of course, but she’ll also play a few synthesizers she made in an instrument-making class taught by Peter Bussigel in UVA’s music department.

Each of her solo pieces has a certain shape and progression, but there will be plenty of room for improvisation, and Monnes plans to participate in the usual paradox of performance “of either losing yourself or being completely there. ...It’s almost like I don’t know which to say,” she says, laughing.

Monnes thinks her set will be entertaining, but she wants it to be more than that.

“I hope it’s musical, that it has some beauty, that it has some edge,” she says. “I can usually manage interesting. And I’m thankful if beautiful happens.”

her cello, and her affinity for the instrument dates back to childhood.

When Monnes was growing up in New Jersey and then the Washington, D.C., area, music “was one of those things that you just did. You hang clothes on the line. You play music,” she says. Monnes recalls singing constantly with her four sisters, and in the same way that some kids pretend to play the piano on the kitchen table, she’d take two curtain rods and imagine they were a cello and a bow.

“My mother played classical music, and I was almost violently disinterested in it,” Monnes says. “It put me to sleep, and I also saw her doing this really intense scramble-struggle for work.” Monnes also saw her mother’s battle with self-worth—if she didn’t get a job, she doubted her talent, her dedication. “I didn’t want to do that,” Monnes says, and so she listened instead to Jimi Hendrix and other experimental musicians.

But she never gravitated toward the guitar, or to drums, “the obvious instruments for the kind of music that I was drawn to,” says Monnes. Instead she pursued the violin and cello. Monnes says she “wanted to figure it out, how to make cello, and violin, speak that [type of music].”

hat makes literature distinct from other art forms is the opportunity it allows us to inhabit the space in someone else’s mind, to experience a life other than our own. This act of temporarily shedding our perspectives and concerns teaches us empathy and compassion. After a year in which Charlottesville suffered the effects of intolerance, this practice of coming to understand how another person lives in the world is more imperative than ever. The organizers behind the Virginia Festival of the Book—the newly branded Virginia Humanities and its Virginia Center for the Book—continue to offer exceptional programming that covers a massive breadth of subject matter and interests for readers young and old.

March 21, 11:45am at the Omni Hotel

Growing up in Lynchburg, Leland Melvin never imagined he would become an astronaut. The chemist, engineer and former NFL wide receiver writes in his memoir, Chasing Space, “While I had a passion for doing many things, my goals hadn’t included exploring the cosmos,” says Melvin. “The universe pulled me there.” Before he was contacted by a NASA recruiter, he never imagined space travel. “Just hearing the words that I would make a good astronaut changed me,” he says. But on day one of spacewalk training, Melvin suffered devastating hearing loss. In his memoir he details how he persevered—with the love and support of many people—regained partial hearing and eventually became a mission specialist on the space shuttle Atlantis. Melvin will appear at the festival’s kickoff luncheon, as well as St. Anne’s-Belfield with students from multiple schools in attendance.

Jason Reynolds Long Way Down March 21, 6pm at UVA Ruth Caplin Theatre

This young adult novel by award-winning author Jason Reynolds uses verse to tell the story of Will Holloman, whose brother, Shawn, is shot and killed two days before the story begins. No stranger to poetry, Reynolds says, “I understand the urgency of poetry, and with a story as intense and as fast-paced as this, verse seemed to be the only viable option.”

Will, bound by the rules his brother taught him—don’t cry, don’t snitch and If someone you love is killed, get revenge—enters an elevator with his brother’s gun, intent on shooting his brother’s killer. Will says of the rules, “They weren’t meant to be broken. / They were meant for the broken / to follow.” But on his descent, Will meets the ghosts of long-gone friends, family members and half-strangers who offer their wisdom as those who have killed and been killed in the cycle of violence perpetuated by the rules.

The narrative follows Deming through the foster care system to the home of a white couple in upstate New York who rename him Daniel and attempt to redirect his love of music toward more academic pursuits. As he grows into adulthood and struggles with his identity, a childhood friend reconnects with him and gives him information about his mother’s whereabouts. Deming/Daniel must decide whether he can face the truth and prepare himself for how it will impact his sense of identity and his place in the world.

Monica Hesse American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land March 24, 4pm at Central Library

Written by Washington Post feature writer Monica Hesse, American Fire is a true story of arson in Accomack County, Virginia. In it, Hesse examines the lives of Tonya Bundick and Charlie Smith and the damage that their frustrations and trauma inflicted on an entire community as they lit 67 fires in empty or abandoned buildings over the course of five months in 2012. “To me it never was a whodunit, it was a whydunit from the beginning,” says Hesse. “It’s a mystery about how two normal, regular people can end up burning down half a county.” Her book details the cumulative effect of economic, work and family stressors, and the explosive result that occurs when mixed with the chemistry of this particular couple.

An American Marriage March 24, 2pm at Central Library and 4pm at Omni Hotel

facebook.com/cville.weekly

A woman and man meet in college, fall in love years later and marry. After 18 months of marriage, the man is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to 12 years in prison. This is the premise of Tayari Jones’ fourth novel, An American Marriage.

The idea began to take shape when Jones was awarded a Radcliffe Institute Fellowship to study the collateral effects of mass incarceration at Harvard. “I read texts, watched documentaries,” says Jones. “I was outraged, but I wasn’t inspired.” A breakthrough came when she was shopping with her mother in Atlanta and overheared a couple in conversation. “I could tell they were in love and they were in trouble,” Jones says. “I heard her distinctly say, ‘Roy, I know you wouldn’t have waited on me for five years.’ And he said, ‘This never would have happened to you in the first place.’

For me, I know I have the raw material for a novel when both characters have a point. So I took the story and ran with it.”

The book addresses racism in the criminal justice system, class tensions, familial strife, intimacy, jealousy, possession and the internal tension of an independent yet married woman. The title, An American Marriage, is perfect for the story Jones tells. But initially she suggested it to her editor as a joke, explaining, “Anytime you call something American it sounds important.” Her editor loved it; Jones wasn’t sure.

She told him it sounded “like a book about white people in Connecticut getting a divorce.” He asked her, “Why do you feel like a story that takes place in Connecticut is more American than one set in Atlanta?” She thought about it and realized she’d been called African-American but had never been called American. She sought counsel from her mentor, writer Pearl Cleage, who told her, “If you don’t think it fits, fine, but don’t walk away from it because you think you don’t have a right to it.” And so she ultimately agreed to the title.

Jones left the male protagonist’s name unchanged from the conversation she overheard and named his wife Celestial, an artist who makes elaborate beaded dolls. The idea was inspired by her artist friend who crafts dolls. “Dollmaking is such a perfect metaphor for the challenges of a woman artist,” says Jones. Often when people learn she’s a writer, they assume she writes romances. And when they learn her friend makes dolls, they assume they are baby dolls. As a woman artist, she says, you have to “fight to be taken seriously.” But dollmaking works well as a metaphor in the book, too, Jones says, as Celestial makes dolls for herself and her aspirations while continuing to delay starting a family with Roy, who is ready to be a father.

After Roy is imprisoned, intimate letters written over the course of five years reveal the relationship’s unraveling, damaged by the sorrow and pain of the unjust separation.

Celestial’s career takes off, and she finds companionship with her childhood friend, Andre. When Roy’s case is finally overturned and he’s released from prison, Jones brings the three characters together in an unflinching dramatic climax.

“I like to have the same sense of breathless anticipation that I have as a reader,” says Jones. “So I let it unfold. My heart was pounding.” She resolves it beautifully, with each of the characters “able to take a new step on a new road that could lead them to the life they want to have.”

@artscville

Nic Stone’s debut young adult novel centers on protagonist Justyce McAllister, a black man in his senior year of prep school in Atlanta. One very early morning, Justyce is trying to help his inebriated girlfriend into her car when a police officer slams him to the ground and puts him in handcuffs.

That day, Justyce begins writing letters to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., recording his observations and experiences and attempting to live according to King’s ideals. As Justyce reads reports of police brutality against unarmed black men all across the U.S., he encounters racism in his school and his city, and grapples with varying expectations of himself as a young black man.

His mother wants him to finish his education and stay away from the gang in his old neighborhood. His best friend, Manny, wants him to stop rocking the boat in calling out the racist behavior. By the end of the novel, “I think [Justyce] finally comes to the realization that who he is and who he becomes are both very much up to him,” says Stone. “The beauty of the relationships that shape us lies not in the relationships themselves, but what we take from them. What we learn about ourselves and how we interact with people.

How we grow as a result. Justyce had to get to that place of collision between contradicting expectations of him, and only in that tension was he forced to decide the best thing for him.”

The story comes to a head when Justyce and Manny have a deadly encounter with a police officer in plain clothes while they’re driving and listening to loud music. Writing the violent scenes in which her characters suffer was difficult for Stone. “Honestly, writing this whole book was pretty terrible,” she says. “I spent 29 years distinctly not looking too closely at the history of people who look like me in this country I call home. I knew it was painful and ugly, so I avoided it.”

But, as she writes in her note to the reader, she couldn’t let these ideas go. “Then this book sold on proposal...and I had to look because I had to write it. The worst part was the sense of helplessness I often felt as I both researched and wrote.”

Her advice for those who are in despair right now? “Find something that makes you smile and consume it,” Stone

says. “A couple of those things for me are Samira Wiley’s and Lauren Morelli’s Instagram pages. Their story is a reminder to me that there’s hope. That there is love and beauty in the world and that there are things worth fighting for.” She says she does have hope that we’re moving toward a more just future. “I say that just from looking at the past and seeing how far we’ve come. Because we’ve come far, y’all. Is there ‘a ways to go,’ as my granny used to say? Yeah. But progress is progress. That we would continue to press on. Otherwise, what’s the point, you know?”

In addition to her public speaking engagements, Stone will speak to students and staff at Albemarle and Charlottesville high schools.

moral bearing, good or bad, having been trapped on that island for nearly a decade.

Those are the two best performances, though it is worth noting how effectively Wu’s Lu Ren is more than a sidekick, and that West does what he can with his role.

A central failing of video game adaptations in general is that gaming is a medium based on interactivity. If a narrative doesn’t totally add up or drags in the middle, it

doesn’t matter as much because the player’s chief responsibility is to keep moving, which itself is a form of dramatic engagement. A player controlling her character as she scales a difficult wall, for example, is invested in the outcome. A film with the exact same camera angles and pacing would fail because it removes the precise reason someone should care.

After the very strong start with Lara’s life in London, the film becomes bogged down in sometimes well-executed but going-nowhere jungle action sequences for a long

This is the experience from which Lara emerges as a fully-formed hero, if only it didn’t turn into a strangely specific emulation of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. That could have been fun, but Uthaug has a knack for turning to exciting source material and churning out dry imitations bereft of any other reason to exist.

Tomb Raider succeeds in two things: demonstrating that Vikander has the chops to be a superstar in her own right, and making the audience want to play the video game again.

Everything else, it comes up short.

Tomb Raider

ou have to respect when a director clearly loves the material and subject of his movie, and when a performer is perfectly cast and goes the extra mile to give the character extra weight. You just don’t have to like it.

So it goes with Tomb Raider and critic favorite Alicia Vikander, who is finally given the starring role she deserves as Lara Croft, the hero of the blockbuster video game series.

The film is a terrific showcase of Vikander’s dramatic range and phenomenal athleticism, but unfortunately not much else. Director Roar Uthaug (yes, really) recreates some of the key game elements—ledge climbing, puzzle solving, jungle navigating—with clear admiration for the source material, but with little sense of how or why a film audience should be engaged if it is not controlling it.

We meet Lara as a young woman in modern-day London, where she’s scraping by as a bike courier in spite of the fact that she comes from massive wealth. Her father, Richard (Dominic West), disappeared seven years earlier, and her refusal to declare him dead means she cannot claim his inheritance. She soon discovers the truth of his adventuring ways, traveling the world to collect artifacts in an effort to prove the existence of supernatural forces in our world.

Her journey leads her to a forgotten island near Japan with the assistance of boat captain Lu Ren (Daniel Wu), where they must square off against Matthias Vogel (Walton Goggins) of a mysterious corporation, who is after the same potentially deadly artifact on the island.

All of the performers give their best to roles that don’t deserve this level of commitment. Vikander proves she’s a star, bringing many terrific characteristics to Lara. She has a glimmer in her eye (that never becomes an ironic wink of the Bruce Willis variety), full of humor and energy, carrying the trauma of losing her father without being defined by it or giving up her independence. Goggins is a terrific villain because he is not nefarious and has no specific evil intent; he’s lost all

Q&A: What’s your favorite local cocktail? PAGE 62

THE WORKING POUR

Going stir crazy The best local bars for each drinking decade eatdrink@c-ville.com

F

or generations, authorities have buried the lede when warning us about alcohol killing brain cells. Omitted from the tired mantra is the truth that some of our deepest seeds of wisdom are sewn at watering holes and colored by booze. Bars are like classrooms, just more practical, and the life lessons enduring. No matter our demographic, we’re still learning in our 20s, 30s and 40s from a barstool perch. Thankfully, the local scene is abundant with venues for every age bracket. Let’s bar crawl through a few of our favorite decade-appropriate spots.

Your 20s: Parallel 38

Alternatives: The Whiskey Jar, Oakhart Social

Your 30s: The Alley Light This is the decade when you should enrich your cocktail game with sophistication and nuance. Duck into The Alley Light, a clandestine speakeasy nestled in an alley off the Downtown Mall, designated only by a lantern over the door. Dig the mysterious vibe as you ascend stairs to the cozy dark space and behold a wonder wall of obscure spirits.

Nervous? Don’t sweat it, because affable AF barman Micah LeMon has mastered the art of baptizing newcomers to the craft. (This cat literally wrote the book on it—The Imbible.) Trouble can’t find you here, so sit back and submit to the spellbinding white noise of booze and ice dancing in the shaker and know that whatever he’s pouring will spike your night with intrigue.

Prime time: Show up pre-dinner rush (5ish) to score a stool and charming conversation with LeMon—it’s basically a TedX talk on mixology.

Nosh away: Some of the best food in town is right here, and LeMon excels with pairings. Our go-to is foie gras brûlée with The Doctor’s Orders.

C&O’s barnwood-paneled downstairs bar is like a speakeasy without the secret knock.

Alternatives: Lost Saint, Brasserie Saison, Mas

Your 40s: C&O By your 40s, if you’re doing it right, you know what you like and don’t bother much with trends. This lands you in the cozy confines of the C&O’s bistro bar. Down a set of creaky stairs, this rustic barnwood-paneled room has harbored sophisticated imbibers for 42 years with a soulful charm achieved through slow, honest evolution. Permeating the scene is a secret society vibe that grips you immediately as you settle in. Behind the stick, clad in dope vintage gear, you’ll find some of the most thoughtful, kind boozeslingers in the business, who will happily

guide you through a treasure trove wall of spirit options or their spot-on list of house cocktail creations. We are partial to the Jota Jota, a jolting riff on a drink near and dear to us, the Boulevardier. Whatever your poison, raise that glass to the next 40—yours and theirs—alongside friendly ghosts of patrons past in this landmark watering hole.

Discovery zone: Barman Anthony Restivo curates an eclectic playlist you’ll want to poach from.

Sneaky legit: Hiding out on the late-night menu (after 10pm) is one of the best burgers around for only $6.

Alternatives: Tavola’s Cicchetti Bar, Common House, The Coat Room Pen+Knife is a blog that celebrates the bounty of food, drink and life in Charlottesville.

Get your first round at Parallel 38 on West Main Street—a reasonable distance from the Corner and college days (because you’re an #adult now), while still close enough for security blanket purposes. Your new booze cravings are thoughtful cocktails with carefully selected ingredients that your mom’s herb garden would approve of. The downstairs bar at Parallel is perfectly low-lit, has an intimate, sophisticated NYC vibe and is ideal for drinks with the gals or a first postgrad Bumble date. Chat up owner Justin Ross if he’s buzzing around for rich stories of his past life in Washington, D.C., training under internationally acclaimed restaurateur José Andres and the renovation work that went into the recently relocated P38 space. If temps are in your favor, head to the back porch for some open-air imbibing, Mediterranean small plates and to peoplewatch Amtrak passengers below.

your drink orders with question marks. Try instead the Akrotiri Heat (Espolòn blanco tequila, piri piri syrup cinnamon berry, hibiscus soda, citrus), a multi-layered cocktail we’ve come to crave, and a P38 staple.

t only takes hearing a few notes of ubiquitous ice cream truck jingles such as “Turkey in the Straw,” “Pop Goes the Weasel” and “Do Your Ears Hang Low?” to make most people salivate (we know it’s not just us). Although food trucks have evolved beyond their creamy origins to include tacos, barbecue and endless other hand-held creations, Graham Evans, who will roll his Bluegrass Creamery ice cream bus into IX Art Park in midApril, wants to get back to mobile snacking basics.

Bluegrass Creamery’s soft-serve ice cream is made from the milk of grass-fed cows. Evans calls it a “secret sauce” that gives the ice cream a fuller flavor and a thicker, more custard-like texture.

“My career up until now has been focused on experimentation,” Evans says. “I like the process of understanding the variables that ultimately affect the outcome, and I simply applied that approach to making ice cream.” In the video for Bluegrass Creamery’s Indiegogo campaign, Evans explains that he was compelled to make his own ice cream after having the best ice cream he’d ever tasted, made from—you guessed it—milk from grass-fed cows, in Ireland.

Bluegrass Creamery will also serve vegan ice cream, using coconut cream and cashew milk as a base.

Evans and a team of artist friends have remodeled the bus (previously known as Ladybug Ice) and decorated it to blend into the art park’s eclectic, brightly colored ornamentation. Evans hopes to foster a community through his ice cream; he’s partnered with local businesses such as The Pie Chest and Frolic Chocolate to offer other treats on the bus.

Plus, the creamery will employ a sliding scale pricing model, which allows customers to pay however much they can or want within a range ($2-3 for a small up to $5-8 for a large). Evans says he’s “passionate about building community and the social justice component of food. I believe good food should be eaten by everybody.”

Bluegrass Creamery owner Graham Evans will station the ice cream bus, serving soft-serve ice cream made from milk from grass-fed cows as well as vegan options, at IX Art Park.

“I’m passionate about building community and the social justice component of food. I believe good food should be eaten by everybody.”

in the former Bebedero space, will open in the coming months. Complete with an outdoor patio, a full-service restaurant and (of course) an extensive selection of local and European beers, the Augustiner Beer Hall could be a great location to clink glasses together and declare “prost!”

In fact, the name Augustiner comes from the name of one of Munich’s oldest breweries: Augustiner-Bräu. Beyond the beer, however, the Augustiner Beer Hall will serve a variety of European and locally inspired food, including schnitzel, ravioli and an array of hamburgers. While owner Oleg Makhayev has had plenty of experience working with beer (in Germany and Cleveland), he says he is looking to the community to refine the Charlottesville part of the menu. “To make local flavor, I have to learn from the locals,” he says. “That’s how I’ll know what people here want.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Europeans used to think that all swans were white. It was a reasonable certainty given the fact that all swans in Europe were that color. But in 1697, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh and his sailors made a pioneering foray to the southwestern coast of the land we now call Australia. As they sailed up a river the indigenous tribe called Derbarl Yerrigan, they spied black swans. They were shocked.

The anomalous creatures invalidated an assumption based on centuries of observations. Today, a black swan is a metaphor referring to an unexpected event that contravenes prevailing theories about the way the world works. I suspect you’ll soon experience such an incongruity yourself.

It might be a good thing! Especially if you welcome it instead of resisting it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Crayola is one of the world’s foremost crayon manufacturers.

The geniuses in charge of naming its crayon colors are playful and imaginative.

Among the company’s standard offerings, for example, are Pink Sherbet, Carnation Pink, Tickle Me Pink, Piggy Pink, Pink Flamingo and Shocking Pink. Oddly, however, there is no color that’s simply called Pink. I find that a bit disturbing. As much as I love extravagant creativity and poetic whimsy, I think it’s also important to cherish and nurture the basics. In accordance with the astrological omens, that’s my advice for you in the coming weeks. Experiment with fanciful fun, but not at the expense of the fundamentals.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

(June 21-July 22): According to Vice magazine, Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov is pleased with the experiment he tried. He injected himself with 3.5-million-year-old bacteria that his colleagues had dug out of the permafrost in Siberia. The infusion of this ancient life form, he says, enhanced his energy and strengthened his immune system. I can’t vouch for the veracity of his claim, but I do know this: It’s an apt metaphor for possibilities you could take advantage of in the near future: drawing on an old resource to boost your power, for example, or calling on a well-preserved part of the past to supercharge the present.

Aries (March 21-April 19): The School of Hard Knocks is an old-fashioned idiom referring to the unofficial and accidental course of study available via life’s tough experiences. The wisdom one gains through this alternate approach to education may be equal or even superior to the knowledge that comes from a formal university or training program. I mention this, Aries, because in accordance with astrological omens, I want to confer upon you a diploma for your new advanced degree from the School of Hard Knocks. (P.S.: When Ph.D. students get their degrees from Finland’s University of Helsinki, they are given top hats and swords as well as diplomas. I suggest you reward yourself with exotic props, too.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Booze has played a crucial role in the development of civilization, says biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern. The process of creating this mind-altering staple was independently discovered by many different cultures, usually before they invented writing. The buzz it provides has “fired our creativity and fostered the development of language, the arts and religion.”

On the downside, excessive consumption of alcohol has led to millions of bad decisions and has wrecked countless lives. Everything I just said is a preface to my main message, Leo: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to transform your habitual perspective, but only if you do so safely and constructively. Whether you choose to try intoxicants, wild adventures, exhilarating travel or edgy experiments, know your limits.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be favorable for making agreements, pondering mergers and strengthening bonds. You’ll be wise to deepen at least one of your commitments. You’ll stir up interesting challenges if you consider the possibility of entering into more disciplined and dynamic unions with worthy partners. Do you trust your own perceptions and insights to guide you toward ever-healthier alliances? Do what you must to muster that trust.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you want people to know who you really are and savor you for your unique beauty, you must be honest with those people. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy.

There’s a similar principle at work if you want to know who you really are and savor yourself

for your unique beauty: You must be honest with yourself. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with accuracy. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to practice these high arts.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your journey in the coming weeks may be as weird as an R-rated telenovela, but with more class. Outlandish, unpredictable and even surreal events could occur, but in such a way as to uplift and educate your soul. Labyrinthine plot twists will be medicinal as well as entertaining. As the drama gets curiouser and curiouser, my dear Scorpio, I expect you will learn how to capitalize on the odd opportunities it brings.

In the end, you will be grateful for this ennobling respite from mundane reality!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence,” wrote philosopher Erich Fromm. I would add a corollary for your rigorous use during the last nine months of 2018: “Love is the only effective and practical way to graduate from your ragged, long-running dilemmas and start gathering a new crop of fresh, rousing challenges.” By the way, Fromm said love is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling in our hearts. It’s a creative force that fuels our willpower and unlocks hidden resources.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My goal here is to convince you to embark on an orgy of self-care—to be as sweet and tender and nurturing to yourself as you dare to be. If that influences you to go too far in providing yourself with luxurious necessities, I’m okay with it. And if your solicitous efforts to focus on your own health and well-being make you appear

a bit self-indulgent or narcissistic, I think it’s an acceptable price to pay. Here are more key themes for you in the coming weeks: basking in the glow of self-love, exulting in the perks of your sanctuary, honoring the vulnerabilities that make you interesting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One day, Beatles’ guitarist George Harrison decided to compose his next song’s lyrics “based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book.” He viewed this as a divinatory experiment, as a quest to incorporate the flow of coincidence into his creative process. The words he found in the first book were “gently weeps.” They became the seed for his tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Rolling Stone magazine ultimately named it one of The Greatest Songs of All Time and the 10th best Beatles song. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend you try some divinatory experiments of your own in the coming weeks.

Use life’s fun little synchronicities to generate playful clues and unexpected guidance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Millions of you Pisceans live in a fairy-tale world. But I suspect that very few of you will be able to read this horoscope and remain completely ensconced in your fairy-tale world. That’s because I have embedded subliminal codes in these words that will at least temporarily transform even the dreamiest among you into passionate pragmatists in service to your feistiest ideals.

If you’ve read this far, you are already feeling more disciplined and organized. Soon you’ll be coming up with new schemes about how to actually materialize a favorite fairy tale in the form of real-life experiences.
