“NEWS

You made several points, right, and one of the ones in which I feel is absolutely repulsive is the fact that you believe that an event like August 12, which was indeed very sad, traumatizing to our community, you say that it’s the worst thing to ever happen here in Charlottesville.

—City Councilor Wes Bellamy at the June 18 meeting, telling Pat Napoleon, who has called for councilors to resign, that he thinks slavery and lynching were worse.

IN BRIEF

Unwilling patient

“Jane Doe” is suing UVA Health System’s CEO and several medical practitioners for allegedly taking blood and urine samples and giving her medication against her will after a suicide attempt. She’s represented by local attorney Jeff Fogel, who is also alleging gross negligence, false imprisonment and assault and battery in his federal lawsuit.

New chief takes oath

The water’s not fine Albemarle County officials and the local health department are encouraging Chris Greene Lake goers to “avoid water contact” at the beach, boat ramp and dog park, because of a toxic blue-green algae bloom that was caused by recent weather. People and pets will be prohibited from swimming there until further notice. High levels of algae closed the lake last summer, too.

“I’m really excited about today,” Walker said, because she believes Brackney will “bridge the divide that we currently have in our city between black citizens in low-income communities and law enforcement.”

As a female, multi-ethnic police officer who grew up as one of six children, sharing one bathroom with a family of eight, Brackney said she understands “feeling disenfranchised,” and later echoed, “I understand what it feels like to not be included.”

One of her top priorities since she’s been in law enforcement is reducing violence in African American communities, and Brackney said she’s “never disconnected from the communities from which [she’s] from.”

When asked what uniqueness she brings to Charlottesville, the new chief quipped, “besides being a Steelers fan?”

He said, she said

Boots’ 100th birthday Beloved UVA prof Ernest “Boots” Mead died four years ago. But that didn’t stop his former students, who have also established the Mead Endowment, from toasting his 100th birthday June 13 with celebrations across the country in D.C., New York, Richmond, San Francisco, Charlottesville—and Lander, Wyoming. Way to make an impression.

Against the prosecutor’s advice, a judge sentenced Long to 360 days in jail on June 8, with all but 20 days suspended. With good behavior, he’ll likely only serve 10 days, and they could be served on weekends.

Solidarity Cville also tweeted a message from Long, who allegedly said, “It’s their loss, I was a good employee. But thanks for everything. Every bit helps!”

An anonymous caller told C-VILLE that Long worked at a Taco Bell in Gordonsville, stopped showing up a couple weeks before his conviction and was never fired.

According to corporate Taco Bell spokesperson Jacqueline Cisneros, the Gordonsville franchise said “team member” Long is still employed, and that it has reached out to him several times without any response. It is unclear whether Long was recently employed elsewhere.

Long did not respond to an interview request, but shared a Facebook post from Darnell Lamont Walker on June 15, which said, “Corey Long was just fired from his job,” and linked to Long’s PayPal account.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Professor Ernest Mead

After the controversial conviction of Corey Long for pointing a homemade flamethrower at white supremacists on August 12, a tweet from activist group Solidarity Cville—which supported Long during his trial and demanded that the prosecutor drop the disorderly conduct charge—said Long had lost his job, and encouraged followers to send him a few bucks via PayPal. “Community defender Corey Long was fired from his job because ‘they wouldn’t be able to hold his position for the duration of his incarceration,’” the June 13 tweet said.

@cvillenews_desk

As the city’s first-ever female police chief RaShall Brackney was sworn in June 18, she said we should all be saddened “in 2018, that my gender is a topic of conversation.”

The former George Washington University chief and Pittsburgh police commander of 35 years said on her first official day on the job, her priority is to meet with leaders of every shift at the Charlottesville Police Department. And then the obvious one: Come up with a plan for how to handle this summer’s anniversary of last August’s deadly Unite the Right rally.

Brackney only has two months to do so, and said she’s “up for the task.”

Hiring Brackney was one of Mayor Nikuyah Walker’s first major decisions.

UVA students and visitors with limited mobility cannot currently traverse the entire Lawn. To make that possible, construction will begin on two brick wheelchair ramps this summer, though the project has been met with opposition from groups such as the Jeffersonian Grounds Initiative, which, according to the Daily Progress, said “ramps will protrude into the Lawn and do violence to [its] integrity.”

uarry Road runs along Belmont’s southern border by Quarry Park, across from where Belmont Point will be built. Monikers of nearby Rockland and Stonehenge avenues also suggest there’s a lot of rocky ground in the vicinity. And when some of the neighbors got notices from a survey company that blasting would take place to excavate rock for the subdivision, alarm bells went off.

Former mayor and Druid Avenue resident Tom Vandever was “shocked to learn” about the blasting when Seismic Surveys knocked on his door a couple of weeks ago. The developer “kind of sprung it on us,” he says.

“They’ve been doing some serious excavation and must have hit some serious rock.”

According to Charlottesville Tomorrow, Andrew Baldwin, now with Core Real Estate and Development, got a rezoning and critical slopes waiver for the planned unit development of 26 homes in 2013 on a 3-2 City Council vote. Baldwin had not returned a call from C-VILLE at press time.

Vandever calls Belmont Point the “PUD from hell.”

Seismic Surveys wanted to do a pre-blast photographic survey, and Vandever says when he asked for a copy of the information, he was told he couldn’t get it.

Other residents within 500 feet of the blast area say they haven’t been notified at all about the upcoming blasting in their backyards. “The first we heard about it was Tuesday,” says Palatine Avenue resident James Kelley.

The notice “is not addressed to anyone, and it’s not signed,” says resident Karen Katz, who wants the permit delayed and public forums held.

Hurt Construction hired Douglas Explosives to do 48 blasts starting in July and going through August, according to an email Katz gave C-VILLE from Fire Marshal Jay Davis, who will issue the permit.

Davis says blasting is preferable to a hydraulic hammer, which would take six months and produce noise and rock dust.

Kelley and Katz aren’t convinced about that. “Blasting causes more risk to adjacent properties,” says Kelley. He points out that some of the houses in Belmont were built between the 1930s and 1960s and their foundations, many of them cinder block, were not built to current standards.

“They’re more susceptible to vibrations and explosions,” he says.

Some of Belmont Point’s neighbors are within 300 feet of where rock will be excavated via explosion.

Odd couple Remaining August 12 lawsuit defendants say they’re not paramilitary

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

Pam Starsia, who represents anti-racist group Redneck Revolt, said her clients don’t operate as a militia.

Mary McCord, a senior litigator with Georgetown University Law Center’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, filed the lawsuit in October. Only two out of two dozen defendants are currently litigating it.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Georgetown attorney Mary McCord said Woodard “selectively” pulled from the complaint, and that it specifically mentions that Kessler used a website called Discord to “funnel” specific plans to rally attendees and give tips, such as how to build shield walls, and that he organized conference calls that at least one representative of each white supremacist group headed to Charlottesville was required to attend.

The judge will also consider Starsia’s demurrer, which she says is based on evidence that Redneck Revolt is not a paramilitary group. While they do show up to events armed, members don’t wear uniforms or have an organized structure, she said. Unlike some of the groups that came carrying as-

sault rifles while wearing tactical military gear, Redneck Revolt was never confused with the National Guard or other law enforcement, Starsia added.

She said Redneck Revolt is set apart from the additional 24 people and groups named in the suit because, “the other defendants are white supremacists” and her clients’ premise is that, “Maybe the Nazis and white supremacists shouldn’t be the only ones with guns.”

The case is scheduled for trial on July 30, and the judge said he’d need a week or two to decide if there are enough factual claims in it to proceed.

“It’s not going to be easy,” he said.

Of the 18 plaintiffs in the suit, McCord said one is the owner of a local toy store who locked customers, including a number of children, in the store on August 12 when an armed militia was standing outside the shop.

A restaurant owner alleges that tourists have since inquired about the events of August 12 and asked to see where Heather Heyer died when she was run down by a white supremacist in a Dodge Challenger.

Most defendants in the case have settled and agreed not to participate in paramilitary activity in Charlottesville, including the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia, New York Light Foot Militia, III% People’s Militia of Maryland, and their commanding officers: Christian Yingling, George Curbelo and Gary Sigler. Others who’ve settled are Matthew Heimbach, Elliott Kline (aka Eli Mosley), the Traditionalist Worker Party, Vanguard America, League of the South, its leaders, Michael Tubbs and Spencer Borum, and the swastika-loving National Socialist Movement and its leader, Jeff Schoep.

@cvillenews_desk

n unlikely pair of lawyers sat together in Charlottesville Circuit Court June 12 to defend clients who don’t have much in common, except that they attended last summer’s Unite the Right rally and are being sued for it.

The Georgetown University Law Center’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection filed a lawsuit on behalf of the city, several local businesses and neighborhood associations in October that aims to prohibit 25 groups and individuals who they say participated in unlawful paramilitary activity on August 12 from returning to Charlottesville for the same reason.

“Touted as an opportunity to protest the removal of a controversial Confederate statue, the event quickly escalated well beyond such constitutionally protected expression,” says the complaint. “Instead, private military forces transformed an idyllic college town into a virtual combat zone.”

Jason Kessler, the organizer of the white supremacist rally, and anti-racist group Redneck Revolt are the only defendants actively litigating the suit.

Elmer Woodard, who represents Kessler in this case, as well as a bevy of other white supremacists with Unite the Right-related charges in other cases, sat next to Redneck Revolt’s attorney Pam Starsia, who, at one point, regularly attended events with local anti-fascist group Showing Up For Racial Justice.

Outside the courthouse, Starsia, who is working with local civil rights attorney Jeff Fogel on the case, said arguing on the same side as Woodard is “interesting” and “unexpected.”

“We haven’t communicated about the case at all,” she said, though they were making similar arguments in their motions and demurrers—that neither Kessler nor Redneck Revolt actually participated in paramilitary activity at the rally.

Woodard moved to dismiss Kessler from the lawsuit, which Judge Rick Moore denied, but said he’d take time to consider Woodard’s demurrer that the complaint didn’t include enough incriminating facts against his client.

According to Woodard, the lawsuit alleges that Kessler gave only “one tactical command” that weekend, and it was after the rally was declared an unlawful assembly in Emancipation Park, when Kessler instructed the white nationalists to move to McIntire Park. The suit also alleges that Kessler solicited and facilitated the attendance of the paramilitary groups.

“My gripe is that it’s not specific enough,” said Woodard. “I could invite all the bailiffs to my birthday party. That doesn’t make me a bailiff.”

June 20 – 26, 2018 c-ville.com

Parts of the neighborhood also have 80-year-old terra cotta clay pipes that are “fragile as it is and more susceptible to blasting,” Kelley says. “A collapse would not be known for a long time.”

Southern Development plans to acquire Belmont Point lots and build the houses, but isn’t doing the site preparation, says its president, Charlie Armstrong.

“We aren’t making decisions on how the rock excavation happens, but in my experience, blasting is a much smarter choice than months of rock hammering,” says Armstrong. “It can be done very safely by professionals who do that every day.”

In 2013, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport’s runway expansion project required blasting and caused widespread damage in neighboring Walnut Hills.

Douglas Explosives did phase one of that project, which was done “meticulously and safely,” says Douglas president Rick Burnsworth, but the company didn’t do phase two, which caused the damage, he says.

Burnsworth has been in the blasting business for 41 years, and says, “We’re 100 percent abiding by federal and state regulations.”

However, Katz says Virginia code requires notification of those within a half mile— 2,640 feet—of the blast zone and the sharing of survey information with residents.

Burnsworth describes the noise from the blasts as more of a poof than a boom. “Most of the time you wouldn’t know it happened,” he says. The blasts create a “minimal amount of dust” that “dissipates straight up.”

“We’ve gone on the campus of UVA and worked within 30 feet of buildings,” says Burnsworth. “We’re not there to destroy.”

And he says the company has had no problems with any of the communities it’s worked with in seven states.

That’s unlikely to dispel the concerns of residents, many of whom appeared before City Council June 18. Right now, public hearings are not part of the blast permit process, and Acting City Attorney Lisa Robertson said she could draft an ordinance that would make it so for the July 2 council agenda.

UVA prof studies implicit bias

By Jonathan Haynes reporter@c-ville.com

B

rian Nosek is using science to help the Charlottesville community recover from the events of August 12.

But he isn’t studying neo-Nazis wielding clubs and riot shields. Instead, he’s focusing on something that exists in all of us: implicit bias.

During a recent event at the MLK Performing Arts Center at Charlottesville High School, Nosek delivered a presentation on implicit bias to demonstrate how unconscious associations may affect our decisionmaking.

The first paper on implicit association was authored by Mahzarin Banaji and Anthony Greenwald in 1995. Shortly after, Nosek enrolled in Yale’s doctoral program, with Banaji as his thesis advisor, where he developed the Implicit Association Test, an online tool that measures the unconscious associations people make.

Nosek, who joined the UVA psychology department as an assistant professor in 2002 and founded the Center for Open Science in

2013, has discovered that people more easily associate the word “pleasant” with white faces than they do black faces. Other studies have indicated similar unconscious preferences for men over women and straight people over gay people. In general, people tend to favor the dominant group, even when the subject is a member of the minority.

At the MLK event, which was co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Office of Human Rights, Nosek began with a task for the audience: As he projected a clip of someone uttering gibberish onto the screen, one side of the audience would look down while the other side would watch and listen. The side looking down heard “baba,” but the side watching the screen heard the accurate word, “gaga.”

Brian Nosek has found that people more easily associate the word “pleasant” with white faces than they do black faces.

Dennis is aware of the safety concerns.

“There’s clearly a reason to renovate the library, he says. “But does that mean that quantity of books would have to leave?”

The Alderman Steering Committee drafted the plan and contracted HBRA, a Chicago-based architectural firm, to design the renovations, which will include sitting wells and compact shelving, motorized

stacks that compress and expand with the push of a button, to create more empty space.

But no blueprints are available, and many of the figures provided by the committee have been disputed, including the number of books that will return to Alderman. And earlier this month, University Librarian John Unsworth and HBRA informed the Board of Visitors that specific plans will not be available for the next few months.—Jonathan Haynes

Monticello’s new exhibits tell the stories of all the people who lived there By Jessica Luck

hen Gayle Jessup White climbed down into the space, essentially a trench dug about four feet below the floor, the first thing she did was scoop up some dirt and rub it on her hands and arms. White’s great, great, great grandfather, Peter Hemings, was an enslaved cook at Monticello, and he had stood on that very ground, possibly in the same spot, some 200 years before.

“It was an amazing moment,” says White, the community engagement officer at Monticello. “When I come in here I feel that moment every time.”

The archaeological site that shows the remains of the first kitchen at Monticello in the south wing is one of the last pieces of the five-year Mountaintop Project, which sought to tell a more complete version of Thomas Jefferson’s home by bringing to light the stories of the people who lived there—both enslaved and free—through 30 restored spaces and exhibits.

The first phase of the project, completed in 2015, included the restoration of Mulberry Row, made up of 20 dwellings and workshops of the enslaved, indentured servants, free blacks and free whites at Monticello, as well as the launch of the Hemings Family Tour. The second phase of the project, which began in 2015 and was opened to the public last weekend, includes six new exhibits and restored spaces, most notably the Life of Sally Hemings, a digital interactive exhibit housed in the slave quarters in the south wing where Hemings lived with her four surviving children. It marks the first time Jefferson’s enslaved mistress, who gave birth to six of his children, has received a space at Monticello for her story.

“Returning another part of the Mountaintop back to the Jefferson period, especially getting the Sally Hemings room back and giving her a space on the mountaintop, is just phenomenal,” says Gardiner Hallock, the Robert H. Smith director of restoration at Monticello. “…[You get] a sense of her as a human being; you bring her humanity back.”

Other newly opened spaces include The Dairy, a restored room where the enslaved made butter and cheese for the household; the Getting Word oral history project; the Granger-Hemings Kitchen; the Textile Workshop, a restored 1775 structure where enslaved women made clothes; and the Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson exhibit, a restored room in the original living quarters above the south wing, designed to offer a fuller picture of Jefferson’s wife.

“We’ve really been focusing our restoration efforts on spaces where women were the primary occupants, either in terms of the work being done or the spaces being occupied,” says Emilie Johnson, assistant curator. “We do a great job of bringing Thomas Jefferson to life in our tours of the main house, and it allows these other spaces to bring these other stories to life.”

Living history On June 16, Monticello opened its newest exhibits to the public and welcomed 300 descendants of the enslaved community that lived and worked at the 5,000-acre plantation–607 people total, and as many as 130 at any one time–to celebrate Juneteenth, the national holiday that honors the abolition of slavery, and the 25th anniversary of Monticello’s Getting Word oral history project, which tells the stories of the enslaved through their descendants.

Niya Bates, Monticello’s public historian of slavery and the African American life and director of the oral history project, says Getting Word ties the past and present by spotlighting six of the largest families of enslaved people at Monticello, and tracing their descendants through history as they fought for civil rights in the 1910s, 1960s and today.

The oral histories collected from descendants have been used previously during the Slavery at Monticello tours, but the permanent exhibit, which includes photos of the descendants as well as their ancestors, is the first time the project has enjoyed a physical space, next to the Hemings exhibit in one of the former slave quarters.

“I hope people take away how many people the institution of slavery impacted,” Bates says. “We have a really prominent descendant in Sally Hemings, but we also have these other families—I want them to know the experience of slavery at Monticello affected hundreds, if not thousands, of people through the generations.”

Gayle Jessup White first learned of her relation to Jefferson when she was in her teens. Her family spoke of the connection on her father’s side, but they didn’t have any documented

proof. White’s grandmother, who was from Charlottesville, died when her dad was 5, and he never knew her. But White remembered the stories that were passed down from generations, and during her first visit to Monticello in 2004, she told the tour guide she was a descendant of Jefferson. She had mixed feelings about the notion—that the man who wrote in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal also owned slaves, which she calls “a blot on his legacy”– but she kept feeling pulled back to Monticello. She continued researching her ancestry, and discovered she was also related to Peter Hemings, Jefferson’s longtime cook.

“As I learned more about my family and as I began to connect and confirmed ties with Jefferson and learned about my ancestors, this place started to feel like home to me,” she says.

White says she still feels “tingly” when she walks into the Granger-Hemings kitchen exhibit at the end of the south wing. The space tells the stories of enslaved cooks Ursula Granger, and Sally Hemings’ brothers, Peter and James (who made Monticello known for its French cuisine), and shows the imprint of what the kitchen looked like from an archaeological standpoint.

Fraser Neiman, Monticello’s director of archaeology, points out three indentations in the dirt wall in the trench adjacent to the exhibit, the place where Jefferson’s original stove would have gone (it was replaced with a French-inspired stew stove that used coals and induction for cooking on a stovetop). The cellar kitchen was part of the oldest standing building Jefferson constructed at Monticello in 1770 (his living quarters were on top), and plans drawn in Jefferson’s handwriting show his idea for the kitchen below.

According to Neiman, his team, which has done archaeological digs all across the property, usually has a roadmap going in, but they never know if they’ll find evidence that the space matches a drawing, or if the sketch was merely one of Jefferson’s

Clockwise from top: About 300 descendants of the enslaved community at Monticello—the largest gathering to date— attended the June 16 opening day of the new exhibits, which included a permanent exhibit for the Getting Word oral history project, which ties the past and present. Dairymaids produced cream, butter and soft cheese stored in The Dairy (now a restored room in the south wing) for the lavish meals that Thomas Jefferson served. Hand-painted Chinese porcelain plate fragments were among the recovered items during the archaeological excavation of the Granger-Hemings kitchen.

“doodles.” In this case, the drawing of the stew stove and dresser countertop matched the remains Neiman’s team uncovered, including an original fireplace. This space, which housed men’s bathrooms most recently, was preserved after Jefferson moved the kitchen closer to the main house in 1802, and workmen raised the cellar floor three and a half feet to match the grade of the rest of the south wing. The dirt dumped on top to fill in the kitchen space kept intact evidence of what existed before— and kept the soil that Granger and the Hemingses and countless other people walked on every day undisturbed.

“From the moment they started pulling things down to the moment they’re putting something old and something new together, this has been an amazing experience, eye-opening for me,” White says. “I feel a sense of gratitude to the researchers, historians, carpenters and brick masons who all worked together. I feel a real appreciation for their work as a colleague, but as a descendant I feel a real sense of gratitude.”

In a gentleman’s agreement, Peter Hemings, a dignified man who worked as cook, brewer and tailor, was sold after Jefferson died to Jefferson’s nephew for $1 and given his freedom. White says it’s hard to imagine what that must have been like for her great, great, great grandfather—what life must have been like for all the enslaved people at Monticello. With tears in her eyes, she glances out a small window, and says, “They’re all family. They’re still here.”

A ROOM OF HER OWN

19

The main feature in the Life of Sally Hemings exhibit is a plain dress form, which serves as a backdrop for the images that are projected onto it, as well as the wraparound screen behind it, while passages from Hemings’ son’s memoir are used to reveal more about his mother’s life. Niya Bates was part of the team that constructed the exhibit, and she says when they first started conceptualizing it, their historian sides threatened to win over as they gravitated toward displaying the information in a typical exhibit setting. But an outside exhibition firm told them that Madison Hemings’ memoir reads more like poetry—and suggested an interactive, immersive experience using his words.

“It’s the most beautiful way we could have expressed her story,” Bates says. “It’s the closest we can get to having her voice without actually having her.”

Two panels flanking the entrance to the exhibit serve the dual purposes of providing biographical information about Hemings as a world traveler, seamstress, mother, daughter, liberator and inherited property, and leaning into the Jefferson-Hemings controversy by outlining DNA evidence of the pair’s relationship. They also provide a look at historians’ and Hemings’ descendants’ views on an enslaved woman’s lack of legal right to consent to a sexual relationship with her master, and the unequal

From top: The Cook’s Room, located in the south wing, shows what the slave quarters would have looked like during Thomas Jefferson’s era. After the June 16 Look Closer opening event that featured Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Annette Gordon-Reed and Jon Meacham, among others, guests were invited to tour Monticello’s six new exhibit spaces.

Not many plantations in the area housed dairies because they were hard to keep cool. The Monticello Dairy (bottom) was unable to supply the household and its guests with enough butter and cream, so enslaved workers carted in hundreds of pounds of butter every winter from Poplar Forest, which was 90 miles away.

power masters held.

Hemings was born in 1773 to John Wayles (Martha Jefferson’s father) and his enslaved servant, Elizabeth Hemings, thus making her and Jefferson’s wife half-sisters. When Martha came to live at Monticello she brought Hemings, then a toddler, and Hemings’ mother and siblings with her as “inherited property.” When Jefferson went to live in Paris during his time as United States Minister to France, Hemings worked there for two and a half years as a servant in his household. At age 16, Hemings, who was legally free in France, refused to return to Monticello unless she enjoyed “extraordinary privileges” that ensured she would be allowed to raise her children and do light work such as sewing. In addition, she got Jefferson to promise to free her future children at age 21. Hemings’ son, Madison, refers to his mother as Jefferson’s concubine in his writing (Hemings gave birth to at least six of Jefferson’s children). Hemings saw two of her surviving sons (Madison and Eston) gain legal freedom in Jefferson’s will, and she had limited contact with her two eldest children (Beverly and Harriet) after they left Monticello and entered into Washington, D.C.’s white society (three of Hemings’ grandparents were of European descent). Hemings lived unofficially free in Charlottesville from Jefferson’s death in 1826 until her death in 1835.

“I think there are a lot of elements that are different than people might expect in a story about an enslaved woman, like her travel to Paris and her being allowed to live with her family,” Bates says. “All different elements about Sally Hemings’ life could be quite surprising, which is why we wanted to give people that space.

This could be pretty emotional for a lot of people, especially the descendants, or anyone with a connection to this history.”

CAT STYLE Boasting three Grammys, a 2006 performance at the White House and, maybe most impressively, an animated appearance on “The Simpsons,” Brian Setzer has enjoyed enormous success.

He’s been making music since the early ’80s, around which time he combined rockabilly and swing into something bold, exciting and decidedly fresh with the Stray Cats. Also known for his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, Setzer currently tours with a simpler quartet. $49.75125, 8pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.

“I’ve come this far, but even so / It could be yes, it could be no.” The classic musical A Chorus Line opens with “I Hope I Get It”—and it kicks off Heritage Theatre Festival’s 2018 season. The story follows 17 aspiring dancers and their attempt to be cast in the chorus line of a Broadway production. Starring Broadway actress Nikka Graff Lanzarone, the sometimeshilarious, sometimes-heartbreaking musical explores the fickle nature of fame and what many are willing to do to achieve it. $15-35, times vary.

Singer-guitarist Juliana Daugherty

“We don’t deserve Tierra Whack.” Solange’s tweet hits the magnitude of what I felt encountering this Phillybased battle rapper turned capital-A Artist, but it doesn’t convey the utter euphoria I felt, blooming from the surreal joy that Whack cultivates over this 15-minute, 15-track EP and video. The tunes are kaleidoscopic, cool and insightful, but the video is an enthralling tour de force.

Whack is fearless, hilarious, poignant when she wants to be—benevolent queen of a land aptly hailed on the album cover as “WILD, WARM, WEIRD!” We need Tierra Whack, and by the time this column drops, she might be the toast of the actual world.—Nick Rubin

The Can-Do Attitude gets it done in unexpected ways

By Erin O’Hare arts@c-ville.com

T

he members of The Can-Do Attitude know what they look like while loading their gear into a venue for a rock show.

“Who the hell are these nerds?” they imagine other bands think upon seeing drummer Brian Wilson in a loon T-shirt, the word “Loonatic” printed under the aquatic bird graphic, or watching singer and guitarist Lee May, wearing a Dolly Parton shirt, sling a colorfully painted acoustic guitar and pink guitar strap over his shoulder.

The perception isn’t necessarily wrong— “we are a bunch of nerds,” says May—but The Can-Do Attitude couldn’t care less what other bands think. “What’s more punk than not giving a fuck?,” he asks while drinking a glass of rosé at the downtown Charlottesville wine bar where he works. Plus, he says, “I like the challenge of surprising people” with the energy and sass of a Can-Do Attitude show.

“People do not expect the sound that comes out,” says Wilson.

The music isn’t exactly punk, but it’s not not punk. May might play an acoustic guitar, but everyone else is electrified; the music is quick and catchy, and there’s a certain amount of social commentary in the lyrics.

But, The Can-Do Attitude doesn’t play love songs, and May, who writes most of the lyrics, isn’t interested in rehashing what anyone else has said about love, and claims he’s not capable of finding new and interesting ways to talk about these things.

May, Wilson and lead guitarist Colin Steers formed The Can-Do Attitude after their previous band, The Common School Movement, splintered into different directions.

They linked up with bassist Ryan Gilchrist and officially formed the band, choosing the name partly because it’s May’s life philosophy (he’s an optimistic guy who “likes to get shit done”), partly because it’s a good band name, and partly because there were (somehow) already about 100 fans of “can-do attitude” on Facebook, so when they started the band’s social media page they wouldn’t be at zero.

The Can-Do Attitude released its eponymous debut album in October 2017, and while everyone is happy with the songs, the band laments the fact that the energy of its live show—and there’s a lot of energy in a Can-Do Attitude live show—isn’t fully captured in the recording.

“This band never slows down. The entire show is fast beats fast beats,” says Wilson.

Shows are why the band exists in the first place, says May. “I love to party. I love getting down. I love to dance. I love going to a rockin’ show. I love to stay up all night.

Because, maybe, I wasn’t getting as many of those nights as I’d hoped, I want to be able to offer them.”

May doesn’t take himself too seriously (the songs are silly, he knows), but he isn’t satisfied

“This band never slows down. The entire show is fast beats fast beats.”

BRIAN WILSON

with saying just anything. The self-deprecating frontman insists that he’s “an objectively poor singer,” and has to make up for his lack of skill “by saying things that are honest, that I genuinely care about and want to say.”

(Wilson wants it to be known that May isn’t as bad a singer as he claims to be.)

“Big Fuckin’ Cowboy,” is about a cowboy dying in the hot sand, too proud and too manly to accept that he needs water, picking fights with everyone as he dehydrates.

“Obviously metaphorical; I’ve never been a cowboy,” says May with a sarcastic sigh, pouring more rosé into his glass, but he feels the statement—about what manliness is, or isn’t—is an important one to make.

The band embraces heckling...and even starts it from the stage sometimes. Before launching into “One Hundred Fallow Acres (Augusta National),” May asks his audience, “Who likes to play golf?”

With its verses about golf courses, landfills and cemeteries, it’s a song about how these playgrounds for the rich destroy the land the game is played on, and how that pisses May off.

May sings the chorus: “I’ve never been to Augusta National. I’m never going to Augusta National. It fills me with disgust and alcohol to watch these fucks go out and smash a ball; I’m never going to Augusta National.”

Wilson laughs as May takes a well-timed sip of wine before saying, “so, that one’s fun!”

They’ll have to change it a bit for their family-friendly Fridays After Five set this week, but, as usual, they’re ready for the challenge.

CLOSE-UPS If the members of The Can-Do Attitude look familiar, it could be because you’ve seen them on television.

Lee May was a contestant on a January 2014 episode of “Jeopardy!,” while Ryan Gilchrist can be seen installing a wind turbine in ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Colin Steers was a contestant on Bravo’s “Make Me A Supermodel” in 2009, and Brian Wilson was an extra in Kid Rock’s “I Am The Bullgod” music video.

A

bowl of soup is a comfort. Whether you are seeking relief from a head cold or cold weather, or want to pour your soul into cooking a meal shared with friends, soup is the answer.

In 2013, Victoria Williams, Maureen Brondyke and Brooke Ray infused those ideas of sustenance and community into Charlottesville SOUP—a semi-annual dinner series where attendees listen to four-minute pitches, then vote for one project to receive proceeds from the $10 ticket sales and donations.

“I knew local artists who were struggling to afford to make their art and I thought SOUP might be a way for a lot of people to give a little and help fix that,” says Williams. She learned about SOUP’s model from Kate Daughdrill, a UVA graduate who co-founded The Garage before moving to Detroit to get her MFA and co-found Detroit SOUP in 2010.

Brondyke says at the first SOUP “There were over 250 people in line [at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative], stretching all the way down Graves Street, and we had to cut it off at 70. People were so excited they gave us money for tickets even though they couldn’t come in.”

In May 2013, photographer and former McGuffey artist Megan Bent won the $1,720 grant to fund her journey biking and photographing the California Coast Classic—an eight-day, 525-mile bike ride that benefits the Arthritis Foundation.

“My experience to have a body of work that was very personal, to be supported and endorsed locally helped me feel like the work I was doing mattered,” says Bent, who lives with autoimmune arthritis, and now makes art while teaching photography at the University of Hawaii. “That was really monumental to me—not just to make [my art], but to have a whole community say we want to see that work.”

Cellist Wes Swing and visual artist Bolanle Adeboye won $2,696 last October. The grant funded a project rendering participants’ self-reported emotions in audio feedback loops woven together by Swing, while Adeboye created a tapestry of dip-dyed cards in colors corresponding with six major emotions: anxiety, depression, anger, love, joy and hope. “[SOUP] was a big part of why the project moved forward,” says Adeboye. “It’s starting a race at the top of the hill as opposed to sloughing it. We’re still rolling off that momentum.”

On June 20, seven more artists will pitch projects during SOUP’s tenth installment. The lineup includes flutist Elizabeth Brightbill

Andrew Gabbert and Elizabeth Brightbill of Terra Voce will have four minutes to enlist the SOUP audience’s support of their third album, which features a mix of Brazilian choro and jazz, traditional Galician folk, and 18th-century Iberian dances.

and cellist Andrew Gabbert of the duo Terra Voce, former New City Arts resident and textile artist Tobiah Mundt and collaborator Kimberly Anderson, opera singers Wesley Diener and Rachel Mink, and illustrator Laura Lee Gulledge. Brondyke anticipates that at the conclusion of this SOUP, the program will have raised more than $20,000 to fund and inspire local artists.

Brightbill and Gabbert hope the grant will fund their third album, a mix of Brazilian choro and jazz, traditional Galician folk, and 18th-century Iberian dances.

Mundt and Anderson will pitch a movable, installation piece featuring a six-foot round loom made by sculptor Lily Erb. “There are lots of different fibers that make up this city,” Mundt says. “We’ll have people weave their Charlottesville experience into one big tapestry to represent the city as best we can.”

Diener and Mink are planning a staged production of Autumn Valentine, a song cycle for soprano and baritone with music by Ricky Ian Gordon and poetry by Dorothy Parker that addresses topics like intimacy and sexuality.

“The presentation forces us to ask ourselves important questions about our project: ‘Why does this matter to me? How could it matter to someone else?’” says Diener. “Even if we don’t get funding, the input we hear from SOUP guests will be invaluable.”

Not it Tag misses the mark between laughs

By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com

WARNER BROS.

Despite being packed with talent, including Jon Hamm, Ed Helms and Jake Johnson, Tag lacks comedic inspiration.

it’s usually the smaller moments that get the biggest laughs because that’s where the real unpredictability has room to take root. It’s fine to go for the easy laughs once in a while, but why does that have to mean back-to-back slo-mo chases that all end up in the same place? Why do we treat bong rips as a punchline? The result is a few very funny moments smothered by a tidal wave of unfunniness, like a comedian who can’t get to the joke because he’s too busy laughing.

Maybe it’s not totally fair to compare Tag to Game Night because it wasn’t made in contrast or response, but it’s worth examining why one works consistently and the other doesn’t. First, the audience for both is expecting a subversion of familiar movie tropes, so if all you’re doing is making a visual reference to that plot approach, you’re already a step behind. Game Night is a ride in itself, while Tag is a slideshow of someone else’s good time. Second, Game Night was entertaining

between the huge moments, and everything that happened was motivated by the thing that came before. Tag, meanwhile, can’t tell the difference between an inspired idea and a lazy one, which frustratingly buries the good parts, like a perfectly cooked Kobe steak drowned in spoiled cottage cheese.

Tag is inoffensive—even, strangely, when its goal is to offend—so it’s not worth ripping apart, but its wasted potential makes it a bigger disappointment than if it had just been bad.

s a bad movie made better because it’s funny, or is a funny movie made worse because it’s bad? And if it’s occasionally hilarious but totally dead in the water otherwise, what are you left with? So it is with Tag, a totally disposable, predictable, unfunny rehashing of tired tropes and gags we’ve seen done better elsewhere—except when it’s exactly the opposite, an inspired and good-natured romp with imagination to spare.

If that was confusing to read, Tag is even more confusing to watch, a movie content with boring its audience to tears between the good parts. Even more baffling is the notion that any of this is supposed to feel fresh after Game Night, the best surprise of the year, even though Tag has the benefit of being based on a true story. The story goes that the same group of friends—Hoagie (Ed Helms), Bob (Jon Hamm), Chilli (Jake Johnson), Sable (Hannibal Buress) and reigning champion Jerry (Jeremy Renner)—have been playing tag since childhood. As adults, the entire month of May is fair game to tag another, complete with decades’ worth of amendments and rules. Along for the ride are Hoagie’s competitive wife, Anna (Isla Fisher), and Rebecca (Annabelle Wallis), a writer for the Wall Street Journal who began by writing a profile on Bob and ended up more intrigued by grown men who take a children’s game this seriously.

The leads all settle in to their natural charm with ease, and their chemistry breaks through the uneven way their characters are written. Director Jeff Tomsic swings for the fences with the mock action scenes, a great use of Renner’s action hero bona fides, but

of a dandelion and its departing seeds, a metaphor for life presented in the Old Testament book Ecclesiastes. “You’re uprooted, you’re going along, everything’s fine, and then the wind blows…you land where you land, figure out what your surroundings are, and you learn to be planted there,” Pennington explains. Amidst it all, “the three things that ground you are good food and wine, partnership with another human and work—that’s where the phrase ‘eat, drink and be merry’ comes from.” The Pie Chest offers all of that. It’s how she’s made sense of this whole baking thing and her shop’s place in the community.

from their skin and faces stained the bathroom sinks—and on August 12, The Pie Chest opened as a safe space, not so much “as a statement against what was happening, [but] a statement about who we are every day,” Pennington says, a humble place offering up some comfort.

Wes Knopp, who owns and operates Lone Light Coffee, which has subleased space from The Pie Chest since 2016, echoes Pennington’s sentiments. “The shop has become for myself and many others a gathering place for conversation, comfort and many new friendships. So much of who we are is the community around us,” Knopp says.

n March 14, 2015, eager pie eaters lined up along Fourth Street NE on The Pie Chest’s opening day.

They were ready to satisfy the cravings triggered by Pi Day, an annual celebration of the mathematical constant pi (you know, 3.14159265359), which the new bake shop opted to embrace.

When the door swung open at 9:26am, customers flooded in and gobbled up every s’mores tart and sweet and savory pie in the glass pastry case that two bakers had worked more than 150 hours combined to fill.

By 1pm, they had devoured every last crumb of pie.

After flipping the “open” sign to “closed,” head baker and co-owner Rachel Pennington and her partner, Tina Morrison, sat down inside the shop. Morrison looked at Pennington with glassy eyes and asked, “What have we done?”

A little more than three years later, Pennington echoes that sentiment as she looks around The Pie Chest’s second retail location, which opened last week at 1518 E. High St. It’s an added feature to The Pie Chest’s new baking facility in the same building, which Pennington says is “at least six times” the size of the bakery’s previous kitchen on Dale Avenue.

It was a necessary expansion. In addition to making by hand tens of thousands of pies each year for The Pie Chest, Pennington and her team make desserts and other baked goods for The Whiskey Jar, El Bebedero, Revolutionary Soup, Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar and Brasserie Saison—all part of restaurateur Will Richey’s Ten Course Hospitality group. Richey co-owned The Pie Chest with Pennington until August 2017, when Pennington became sole owner.

The second location will offer hand pies and Pie Chest favorites by the slice, plus bis-

cuits hot out of the oven, honey chocolate chip cookies (the first thing Pennington ever baked, with her Memaw) and special non-pie items that’ll spotlight the small baking team’s talents. Lone Light Coffee will share the space, offering its full range of coffees and teas at the front counter, and roasting its own coffee in the back room. Nothing will change at The Pie Chest on Fourth Street.

Pennington, a self-taught baker who years ago applied for a baking gig at The Whiskey Jar on a whim, says this growing operation isn’t at all what she and Morrison pictured when The Pie Chest was still just an idea.

They imagined a low-key endeavor, Pennington baking as Morrison worked the storefront, pouring coffee from a carafe and chatting with regulars over slices of pie.

They’d both be home by 5pm.

What they couldn’t anticipate is how the community would shape what The Pie Chest has become. Within a year, the bakery had a regular clientele, those who take a slice to go, and those who order their pie to eat in the shop, a side dish to an hours-long perusal of Time magazine. They hired more staff to keep up with the demand in the kitchen and at the counter.

The Pie Chest sticks to its three original foundations—everything is fresh, everything is seasonal, everything is made from scratch—but Pennington says she’s learned to be flexible on the menu, interspersing what she thinks is good (blueberry nectarine and honey spiced pear) with what customers want (triple citrus, chocolate cream).

The Pie Chest’s Fourth Street location is just one block from both Emancipation and Justice parks, where the white supremacist Unite the Right and Ku Klux Klan rallies, respectively, took place last summer. Those who were tear-gassed by police after the July 8 KKK rally came into the shop asking for water and to use the bathroom—Pennington remembers the tear gas they washed

Jeff Bloem used 17 years of experience in supply chain analysis to research and form the Woolen Mills-based Murphy & Rude Malting Co. He now supplies local brewers with Virginia-sourced malts.

HOME BASE In addition to Random Row’s Mosaic Pale and Apple Sour, Murphy & Rude has supplied malt Day Mild, Fine Creek Brewing’s Kentucky Common, 1781 Brewing’s Virginia Hefeweizen, Spencer Devon Brewing’s third Local, and Spirit Lab Distilling’s whiskey, among other bevvies.

While small craft breweries, and to a lesser extent small craft spirit distillers, have banked on the buy-local movement to capture consumers’ attention, the only thing local about the drink that ends up in folks’ hands is typically the production facility address.

Hops, Bloem says, were on lots of folk’s radar, from both a production and agricultural standpoint.

But malt was nowhere to be found.

“I dug in and got addicted,” he says. “Five years later, here I am.”

Bloem’s new 6,300-square-foot malt house on Broadway offers 200 tons of annual capacity. He’s processing three tons of raw grain per week in his 400-pound drum roaster and sourcing 100 percent of his grains, including two-row barley, wheat, rye and triticale, from Virginia farmers.

Bloem would like to be cranking out five tons of grain per week within five years. In addition to moving more of his production to specialty malting, he wants to break into the raw grain market. His malts should be available to homebrewers at his facility and Fifth Season Gardening in the next two to three months.

“I am trying to change the relationship model between the brewer and the ingredient maker,” Bloem says. “This is really bringing an entirely new, individual perspective to craft beer and spirits production.”

June 20 – 26, 2018 c-ville.com

eer has been made with malt for hundreds —if not thousands—of years, but a Charlottesville entrepreneur only recently thought to exploit the steeped, germinated and dried grains to find a unique way into the craft beverage world.

Jeff Bloem opened Murphy & Rude Malting Co. in Woolen Mills in February. He intended to focus on delivering local craft brewers and liquor makers specialty malts—prepared grains (i.e. base malts) that have been further processed to give beverages roasted, caramel or other unique flavors. But in the last several months, Bloem has found his niche providing his standard, all-Virginia grown malts to those same small-scale brew and booze producers “I thought I was this wise young buck and what I could do to differentiate myself would be to focus on the specialty malts,” Bloem says. “But everybody wants base malt. You set your thinking through this very small piece of a business, then the customers dictate what you are going to do.”

While small craft breweries, and to a lesser extent small craft spirit distillers, have banked on the buylocal movement to capture consumers’ attention, the only thing local about the drink that ends up in folks’ hands is typically the production facility address. Craft breweries by and large rely on the same hulking, national malt houses as macrobrewers like Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors.

Bloem admits he can’t compete with the big maltsters on price. His grains are always going to be more expensive than what craft brewers can get from Cargill or Rahr. That’s why he figured he would settle in the specialty malt niche, where the value he adds through extra processing can justify the higher cost. And he hasn’t given up on that model.

But for now, Bloem’s found the higher price tag is worth it for certain beverages, specifically for brewers and spirit makers who don’t widely distribute their products and have lower capacities.

“As a smaller brewery, we can experiment a bit more and are okay with the product varying a little batch-to-batch,” says Kevin McElroy of Random Row Brewing Co., which uses Bloem’s malts in its taproom staple Mosaic Pale Ale. “Something new and local is exciting for us to try out, and having that personal relationship with the maltster is a benefit down the road.”

So how did Bloem, an avid craft beer and spirit fan, end up working upstream from the beverage production lines? He’d spent his career analyzing supply chains for a large government consulting firm. After 17 years figuring out how to break into new markets and find new revenue streams for other people, he wanted to strike out on his own and he took a look at the artisan beverage space.

Cancer

Gemini

(June 21-July 22): I suggest you ignore the temptation to shop around for new heroes and champions. It would only distract you from your main assignment in the coming weeks, which is to be more of a hero and champion yourself. Here are some tips to guide you as you slip beyond your overly modest self-image and explore the liberations that may be possible when you give yourself more credit. Tip No. 1: Finish outgrowing the old heroes and champions who’ve served you well. Tip No. 2: Forgive and forget the disappointing heroes and hypocritical champions who betrayed their own ideals. Tip No. 3: Exorcise your unwarranted admiration for mere celebrities who might have snookered you into thinking they’re heroes or champions.

(May 21-June 20): Playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Four of his works were essential in earning that award: the play Waiting for Godot, and the novels Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. Beckett wrote all of them in a two-year span during the late 1940s. During that time, he was virtually indigent. He and his companion, Suzanne, survived on the paltry wage she made as a dressmaker. We might draw the conclusion from his life story that it is at least possible for a person to accomplish great things despite having little money. I propose that we make Beckett your role model for the coming weeks, Gemini. May he inspire you to believe in your power to become the person you want to be no matter what your financial situation may be.

nature. In other words, be extreme in your moderation. Be pushy in your attempts to harmonize. Be bold and brazen as you make supple use of your famous balancing act. I’ll offer you a further piece of advice, as well. My first astrology teacher believed that when Librans operate at peak strength, their symbol of power is the iron fist in the velvet glove: power expressed gracefully, firmness rendered gently. I urge you to explore the nuances of that metaphor.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. Normally, I would dismiss an idea like this, even though it’s funny and I like funny ideas. Normally, I would regard such a negative assessment of the waterfall’s true nature, even in jest, to be unproductive and enfeebling. But none of my usual perspectives are in effect as I evaluate the possibility that Wilde’s declaration might be a provocative metaphor for your use in the coming weeks. For a limited time only, it might be wise to meditate on a waterfall that flows the other way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If I were your mom, I’d nudge you out the door and say, “Go play outside for a while!” If I were your commanding officer, I’d award you a shiny medal for your valorous undercover work and then order you to take a frisky sabbatical. If I were your psychotherapist, I would urge you to act as if your past has no further power to weigh you down or hold you back, and then I would send you out on a vision quest to discover your best possible future. In other words, my dear Scorpio, I hope you will flee your usual haunts. Get out of the loop and into the open spaces that will refresh your eyes and heart.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stage magicians may seem to make a wine glass hover in mid-air, or transform salt into diamonds, or make doves materialize and fly out of their hands. It’s all fake, of course—tricks performed by skilled illusionists. But here’s a twist on the old story: I suspect that for a few weeks, you will have the power to generate effects that may, to the uninitiated, have a resemblance to magic tricks—except that your magic will be real, not fake. And you will have worked very hard to accomplish what looks easy and natural.

And the marvels you generate will, unlike the illusionists’, be authentic and useful.

Sagittarius

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to accentuate and brandish the qualities that best exemplify your Libran

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Members of the Dull Men’s Club celebrate the ordinary. “Glitz and glam aren’t worth the bother,” they declare.

“Slow motion gets you there faster,” they pontificate. Showing no irony, they brag that they are “born to be mild.” I wouldn’t normally recommend becoming part of a movement like theirs, but the next two weeks will be one of those rare times when aligning yourself with their principles might be healthy and smart. If you’re willing to explore the virtues of simple, plain living, make the Swedish term lagom your word of power.

According to the Dull Men’s Club, it means “enough, sufficient, adequate, balanced, suitable, appropriate.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the Georgian language, shemomechama is a word that literally means “I ate the whole thing.” It refers to what happens when you’re already full, but find the food in front of you so delicious that you can’t stop eating. I’m concerned you might soon be tempted to embark on metaphorical versions of shemomechama. That’s why I’m giving you a warning to monitor any tendencies you might have to get too much of a good thing. Pleasurable and productive activities will serve you better if you stop yourself before you go too far.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Please do not send me a lock of your hair or a special piece of your jewelry or a $100 bill. I will gladly cast a love spell on your behalf without draining you of your hard-earned cash. The only condition I place on my free gift is that you agree to have me cast the love spell on you and you alone. After all, your love for yourself is

what needs the most work. And your love for yourself is the primary magic that fuels your success in connecting with other people. (Besides, it’s bad karma to use a love spell to interfere with another person’s will.) So if you accept my conditions, Pisces, demonstrate that you’re ready to receive my telepathic love spell by sending me your telepathic authorization.

Aries (March 21-April 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have cosmic permission to enjoy extra helpings of waffles, crêpes, pancakes and blintzes.

Eating additional pastries and donuts is also encouraged. Why? Because it’s high time for you to acquire more ballast. You need more gravitas and greater stability. You can’t afford to be top-heavy; you must be hard to knock over. If you would prefer not to accomplish this noble goal by adding girth to your butt and gut, find an alternate way. Maybe you could put weights on your shoes and think very deep thoughts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re slipping into the wild heart of the season of discovery. Your curiosity is mounting. Your listening skills are growing more robust. Your willingness to be taught and influenced and transformed is at a peak. And what smarter way to take advantage of this fertile moment than to decide what you most want to learn about during the next three years? For inspiration, identify a subject you’d love to study, a skill you’d eagerly stretch yourself to master, and an invigorating truth that would boost your brilliance if you thoroughly embodied it.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sex education classes at some high schools employ a dramatic exercise to illustrate the possible consequences of engaging in heterosexual lovemaking without using birth control. Everywhere they go for two weeks, students must carry around a 10-pound bag of flour. It’s a way for them to get a visceral approximation of caring for an infant. I recommend that you find or create an equivalent test or trial for yourself in the coming days. As you consider entering into a deeper collaboration or making a stronger commitment, you’ll be wise to undertake a dress rehearsal.
