UPS: Thanks to the leadership of the BUFFALO PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION, there’s a tentative agreement in place between the Buffalo Public Schools and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority that will go a long ways to loosening the ridership rules the currently govern student passes. The district pays full rate for student passes to the tune of $75 per student every month for severely restricted access. The new plan, while retaining some rules about use, goes a long way to allowing students greater freedom to move around the city and pursue employment or after-school activities. While we don’t understand why students can’t just get the access that a full-rate bus pass offers every other rider, this is a step in the right direction.

Earlier this month, SHAQUREH ZACHERY—a local attorney who is running a Democratic primary challenge to incumbent state Senator Tim Kennedy— released a statement condemning Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard’s stewardship of the county’s holding center, where 24 people have died while Howard has been in office. (The most recent death of a person held in sheriff ’s custody was in May, an apparent suicide; 33-year-old Michael J. Girard was found hanging from a noose three days after he’d been jailed.) Howard’s management of the jails has been the subject of state and federal investigations. In July, a state commission ruled the 2016 death of India Cummings, in the custody of Howard’s holding center for 17 days, a homicide. In response to this and years of critical reports, Howard has been intransigent: “Why are you so willing to accept as true what is no more than opinion?” Howard said to the media in response to the nonpartisan state medical review board’s assessment of the events leading to Cummings’s death. “My opponent,” Zachery wrote, “has the endorsement of the party bosses, however he has remained absolutely silent while these abuses and deaths at the Holding Center have taken place.” Good for Zachery: Howard’s malfeasance is not just an Erie County management issue, and not just one to be solved by voters every four years: There are state and federal pressures that can be brought to bear as well.

DOWNS: Lost in the controversy over whether Bishop Malone should resign over his inept mishandling of sexually assaultive priests is the truly sinister decision he delivered the same week: that after 95 years of serving foster and adoptive children, CATHOLIC CHARITIES abruptly announced they were disbanding the program out of protest against the state’s non-discrimination policy. A same-sex couple had recently approached the organization with an interest in becoming foster parents, and the Catholic church’s response was to say that they believe that marriage is strictly between a man and a woman, thus disqualifying that couple’s home for placement of foster children. With the opioid epidemic raging unseen, the demand for quality foster homes has never been greater, and the response from one of the region’s largest charity organizations—one that serves thousands with help and services no matter their religion, race, or sexual orientation or gender identity— is frankly appalling. They don’t screen their employees for sexual orientation, or gender identity, religious affiliation, or other private characteristics covered by state and federal non-discrimination policies, do they? Is that coming next? Quite a line in the sand for the Diocese of Buffalo to draw in the midst of revelation after revelation that they don’t think the potential criminal behavior of priests is a matter that needs to be addresses in the present tense—not simply as something that has happened but as a thing that has continuing repercussions for victims and for the reputation of the church. BISHOP MALONE should absolutely resign. We learned on Friday, thanks the tireless reporting of WKBW’s Charlie Specht, and thanks to his brave and righteous sources presumably inside the church, that a new complaint had surfaced about Reverend Yetter at the Swormville parish. At a press conference, and in a statement read aloud by a church representative at the Sunday mass in Swormville, Malone said nothing directly to the allegation and answered no questions, a la Chris Collins. Yetter was one of two area priests that WKBW found had been returned to service after credible complaints of sexually assaultive behavior were found in a diocesan investigation. Swormville deacon Paul Snyder III’s letter published on Friday says it best: “The Pennsylvania grand jury report was horrific, and I think the time has come for our state to conduct the same kind of investigation. Yesterday, we found out that our diocese is ending its adoption program because they don’t want to help homosexual couples to adopt children. So our diocese covers up for priests who molest children, but they won’t allow homosexual couples to help children. To me, that is the ultimate hypocrisy.” Malone said on Sunday that the “shepherd does not desert his flock.” When the shepherd keeps allowing wolves in lamb’s clothing to enter the flock, what should the sheep do but rise up?

FEATURE NEWS stalled in their careers. Seventy-percent of women in tech are eager to be promoted, but only 25 percent actually felt supported in their career aspirations. Performance evaluations hinder women seeking to move up in their careers. Implicit gender bias influences the evaluation process because women experience more personality penalties, where they are deemed too abrasive or bitchy if they exhibit more aggressive communication styles like men. And requirements for promotion aren’t always explicit, which leads employees and managers to look to senior-level leaders for characteristics that seem necessary to advance. Senior-level leaders in tech are predominantly male, which means men often receive the promotion over women because they reflect masculine leadership and communication styles. Twenty S&P 500 companies have female CEOs. Five are in tech-related industries. In Silicon Valley, the odds of a man being in a leadership position is 2.7 times higher than for women. The workplace culture doesn’t help, either. A male-majority, “tech-bro” environment leaves women feeling isolated because

Lena Levine, founder of the Buffalo chapter of Girls Develop It.

GIRL DEVELOP IT BY CATHLEEN DRAPER

THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF A NATIONAL MOVEMENT WORKS TO INTRODUCE MORE WOMEN TO CODING, TECHNOLOGY, AND COMPUTING. LENA LEVINE STARTED attending local tech industry meetups

after moving to Buffalo from Russia in 2009. She noticed that at every event, she was one of only a very few women. The lack of female presence boosted her desire to connect with other women in tech and build a supportive and empowering community. That motivation led her to Girl Develop It. The organization had an established class curriculum, meetup structure, and resources to fall back on. Only 12 chapters existed at the time. Levine, founder and creative director of Lena Levine Studio, founded the local chapter of GDI. She began teaching classes, but as involvement started to grow, teachers volunteered and she gained three chapter leaders: Danielle Allan, a software engineer at Pointman; Olga Nelioubov a software engineer at Liazon; and Quintessance Anx, cofounder of City of Light 2.0 and a developer advocate at Logz.io. Vanessa Hurst, a computer programmer, and Sara Chipps, a JavaScript developer, founded Girl Develop It in 2010 in New York City. Today, the organization boasts chapters in 63 cities with over 55,000 members. GDI provides affordable tech programs focused on web and software development to women—and men—over the age of 18. The founders envisioned a network of women who utilize the tools they gain through the coding programs to achieve their technology goals and thrive in their careers, whether they work in the tech-related fields or not. The chapter leaders work with women who are in various stages of their careers, whether it be women in a tech-adjacent field looking to develop a foundation in coding, women in tech fields looking for a refresh, women who have taken a break but are reentering the field, or women who simply want to learn to code. “The goal of the classes is to make you very comfortable,” Levine said. “We really encourage students to ask questions and make it fun.” Classes are frequently held at local tech company offices, and Levine and the chapter leaders like to keep it that way. “They’re the hiring power,” Anx said. “If we can keep them interested in our group and our members and kind of show our members ‘this roughly is your end goal.’” Levine and the chapter leaders try to host several events on college campuses, too, because they know students can’t necessarily make it downtown for classes. They want to reach college-aged women because of the educational gap between women and men in STEM. While

women earn 59 percent of undergraduate degrees in the biological and biomedical sciences, just 18 percent of degrees in computer and information sciences degrees are awarded to women. Anx had a professor who once told her to drop out of school after she had missed two days of class, which she had an A in, due to illness. She recalled he told her that she could do anything she wanted because she’s “a pretty girl.” Anx noticed that educators addressed the questions of women differently than men. When women asked a question, she noted professors would say, “Let me do that for you” and show them. For men, they would say, “Let me explain that to you.” Over time, Anx said, that behavior is detrimental. “In one situation you’re taught and another you’re being done for, and if you’re being done for, you can’t proactively learn or [progress] at the rate that others are,” she said.

WHY AREN’T THERE MORE WOMEN? Explicit and implicit barriers exist for women through STEM fields, but especially in technology-related fields. Women filled 36 percent of computing jobs in 1991, but in 2015, that number had dropped to just 25 percent—despite women making up 57 percent of all professional occupations. The barriers start at the hiring level. First, job advertisements use modifiers and gender-specific pronouns, as well as masculine descriptors, which puts women off. Plus, laundry lists of qualifications—including skills that aren’t totally required—deters women from applying. Studies indicate that women are harsher critics of their own work and skill set, and they are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet all the criteria listed. Recruiting relies on referrals and word-of-mouth. People tend to recommend others like themselves and those in their social circle, which leads to a cycle of male-dominated hiring by a male-dominated company. The interview and selection processes aren’t free from bias, either. Anx, Levine, and Nelioubov agreed stereotype threat existed throughout interviews, especially when interviewers address the culture of the workplace and ask women to write code and then defend or explain it. And, maintaining a career in tech is chAllanging for women who face a variety of discriminatory or disparaging cultural and environmental factors. Eighty percent of women in science, engineering, and technology fields report a passion and love for their jobs, but 56 percent of women in technology occupations quit at the mid-point of their careers. Women who leave the field report few opportunities for development and training, little support, and undermining behavior from management and a poor work-life balance. Thirty-two percent of women in SET fields report feeling DAILYPUBLIC.COM / AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 / THE PUBLIC

(at N.

It’s especially important for young women who are developing interests and exploring different career paths.

“There’s a certain amount of implicit bias that happens in someone’s mind, and this has to do with how we passively advertise success,” Anx said. “We passively advertise what a successful developer looks like. She suggested pausing and thinking of the word “developer.” For most, she said, they’ll picture a white man. “The most insidious forms of these kinds of biases is that…you can only fix what you’re consciously aware of,” Anx continued. “If you’re a woman and your implicit bias is ‘programmer—man,’ there is a layer that you’re not necessarily aware. And if you’re not aware of what…your own experience is telling you— that you’re not a part of the vision of success— then you can’t fix it.” Networking can be chAllanging without female connections. Anx noticed she met mostly male programmers when she started her career. Now, she said, she acts as a bridge for members of GDI because she has an established network and social structure. Women aren’t invested in, either. Companies with all-male founders received $58.2 billion in investments in 2016. Meanwhile, womenfounded companies received $1.46 billion in venture capital. Levine said the workload expectations in tech are unrealistic for women. The pressure to be available 24/7 is greater for women, which drives them away from the field, especially since mid-level women are twice as likely to have a partner who works full time, whereas mid-level men are four times more likely to have a partner who assumes caretaking responsibilities. Discriminatory behavior isn’t always implicit or culturally systemic, either. It’s direct and constant, as exhibited by the #MeToo movement. Women in tech have said they get hit on all day, every day and are propositioned by leading venture capitalists who want sexual favors in order to even consider investing in a woman-founded company.

Anx once reported an inappropriate comment made by a colleague which left her feeling uncomfortable. When the man was investigated, they discovered it was a “tip of the iceberg” situation, she said. “What happened to me was mild, but as was discovered, what was happening to other women was less mild,” Anx said. “Sometimes things hide in open air like that.” On top of dealing with consistent harassment, feelings of isolation, limited opportunities for advancement, and bro-centric workplaces, women receive lower salary offers 63 percent of the time than men who are up for the same job at the same company. And, it’s estimated that it could take another 136 years for the gender pay gap to completely disappear. These implicit biases and institutional barriers which lead women and people of color to leave their fields costs corporate America approximately $64 billion per year in employee turnover costs. “As a person or professional, unless you’re aware and start to really feel through your biases and your notions about how the other person is, whether responding to their needs or whatever, then you can’t really rectify,” Anx said. “It’s important for people to empower one another to be successful in the place they’re working.”

GDI’S IMPACT GDI Buffalo boasts many success stories, including one from Nelioubov. She studied physics in college but wished to transition to a computer science field. Like so many other women, she feared she didn’t have the necessary skills to apply for jobs, so she started working at a help. Three months later, she was promoted to a system administrator role which involved more infrastructural work and not as much coding. After two years filled with promises of a promotion where Nelioubov said she was “overworked and underpaid,” she began attending GDI networking events. There, she sought advice from women and began applying for tech jobs. She went in with the mindset that she wouldn’t get the job but would rather get the chance to practice her interviewing techniques. Nelioubov got the call that she received the position while at a tech conference with Anx. She took classes through GDI and eventually became a chapter leader. Now, she wants to give back and help other women gain the confidence she now has in her skills and talents.

And op art visual trickery, the likes of Bridget Riley’s undulating black and white vertical stripes painting, or Victor Vasarely’s flatwork grid swelling outward into a hemisphere. And varieties of abstraction without the expressionist element— aka post-painterly abstraction—both hard edge—Kenneth Noland’s orderly layered horizontals piece, or Ellsworth Kelly’s leaning tower of monotone blue, yellow, and red—and soft— one of Frank Stella’s concentric black diamonds and unpainted canvas pinstripes examples. Work not far remote in spirit from Donald Judd’s taciturn stack of galvanized sheet metal and orange plexiglass boxes stuck on a wall. Nor minimalist doyenne Agnes Martin’s barely decipherable lattice pattern painting/drawing. And other work harder to categorize and label as to a particular school or movement, such as Joseph Cornell’s surrealist little stage set in what looks rather like a shoebox, or Jasper Johns’s semiotics meditation encaustic technique array of numbers zero to nine, equally unexpressionist abstract and tactile sensuous. Or Edward Kienholz’s comical podium and butcher’s scale representation of a preacher man. Plus lots of mirror works, including Michelangelo Pistoletto’s contemporary setting recollection of a genre of Renaissance-era religious paintings featuring multiple canonized saints and often the Virgin Mary, as well as sometimes the work patron, and sometimes also the artist. Figures in this case in modern attire, including the artist, but also, by virtue of the mirror ground, the viewer. And inspired by one of the more innovational artists of the prior era, Alexander Calder, numerous kinetic works.

To politics—the most consequential arena—with its trio of tragic assassinations and pervasive through the decade Vietnam War, but also war protests that for the first time in memory ended a war, and civil rights and women’s rights protests and marches, and landmark legislation—that Trump and the Republicans are doing their utmost to overturn—on civil rights

The main portion of the 1960s exhibit is in the 1905 building. In addition, a video component is presented in the screening room in the northeast corner of the 1962 building, apropos a significant new art genre emerging in the 1960s, earth art or land art. Significant because signaling an emerging consciousness at that time—except among Republicans again—about the increasingly parlous state of the natural environment. The video is by land artist Walter De Maria and consists of a protracted panorama scan of Nevada dry lake flats and mountains and scrub brush, interrupted by a Western movie type shootout—for top dog status in the new genre, no doubt—between De Maria and fellow land artist Michael Heizer, in cowboy outfits and the one with a six-gun, the other with a carbine. We don’t get to see which artist—if either—is left standing. Some vitrines in the entryway to the main exhibit recall the Albright-Knox substantial presence and involvement in the art scene of the time.

PIGEONS PLAYING PING PONG FRIDAY AUGUST 31

PUBLIC APPROVED

7PM / TOWN BALLROOM, 681 MAIN ST. / $20-$25 [JAM] Have you ever noticed that jam band enthusiasts seem less weighed

down than the rest of us? It could just be the copious cannabis, but many a seasoned smoker will tell you that too much of a good thing can lead to a sort of “baked psychosis”—waffling and apathy. Haters gonna hate, but the music plays an important role in that wow-man-jam-band energy, feeding off of vibes that are perpetuated by a combination of improv skills, cooperative crowd spirit and, yes, good herb. The Baltimore-based quartet Pigeons Playing Ping Pong—who’ll play at Town Ballroom on Thursday, August 3—add a layer of quirk and humor to the equation (not unlike others that have come before them, including Phish, particularly early Phish), and it’s a winning combo that keeps the band booked for upwards of 200 gigs a year. What’s more, the high energy translates onto their recordings. Last year’s Pizazz is heavily steeped in the white-boy funk that makes the Flock (a nickname for diehard fans) flap with fervor, but it keeps the tracks clipped to reasonable lengths, leaving the meandering for the live set, where it belongs. There’s a tongue-in-cheek hilarity to the way frontman Greg Ormont delivers overconfident assertions like “We put

the fun in funk/It’s stanky like a skunk,” and “Baby–I’ve got something for ya,” with a tone of bald-faced libido. It turns the serious soul-man bravado of James Brown on its head, while also reminding us not to take ourselves quite so seriously at a time when, apparently, we’re all busy doing so. Maybe the Flock is on to something. See if you don’t feel a little lighter afterward. -CHRISTOPHER JOHN TREACY

BEANS Nibiru Tut album Recommended if you like: Flying Lotus, Knxwledge, Prefuse 73 The latest album by former Antipop Consortium rapper Beans is titled Nibiru Tut and was entirely produced by Buffalo-based producer Ay Fast. The trippy, avant-garde rap album moves through nine tracks of twisted, textural beats over which rapper Beans lays down aggressive, raw, and emotional bars. Highlights include the crackling, dark, and intimate 15-minute track “Catch My Sick,” the chaotic, political “I Don’t Play,” and the

THE CLURB: HENRY CHOW FRIDAY AUGUST 31

PUBLIC APPROVED

10PM / EXPO MARKET, 617 MAIN ST. / $10-$20 [ELECTRONIC/DANCE] The Clurb is a new pop-up DJ party, organized by

house music DJ Steve “Rufus” Gibson, and it’s on this weekend. The top slot goes to Brooklyn’s Henry Chow, a house DJ with a diverse set of tunes that push into odd funk, classic house, and percussive techno. Brooklynites are lucky to catch Chow, originally from Houston, Texas, ramping up dance floors regularly at clubs like TBA Brooklyn, Good Room, and Studio 299. He’ll be joined at this one by Toronto-based techno artist, and CODA resident Wess, as well as Boston’s Matt & Molly of the Community Links party fame. The warmup comes from Rufus Gibson and Alex Morrison. Friday, August 31 is the date and Expo Market on Main Street will be the spot for this one, with a couple rooms designated for music. Oh yeah, and just to clarify, it’s an official “sucka free zone.” Get there early for cheaper tickets, or better yet, grab them ahead of time. -CORY PERLA

cosmic, psychedelic “The Time For Thunder Is Now.” The album, which was featured as an Album of the Day last week on Bandcamp, brings together Beans, a.k.a. Robert Stweart II of White Plains, New York, with Ay Fast, real name Adrian Bertolone, a transplant to Buffalo from Cleveland, who Beans says he chose to produce the record due to Ay Fast’s ability to match his fierce rhyming pace and to bring innovative ideas, which Fast does

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 29 Live at Larkin: Michelangelo Carubba & Friends 5pm Larkin Square, 745 Seneca Street free

[FUNK] One of the most highly anticipated editions of Live at Larkin happens this week with Michelangelo Carubba & Friends taking the stage for a free concert. Carubba is the drummer of the funk-jam band Turkuaz and recently performed with both Turkuaz and as Michelangelo Carubba Super Jam at this summer’s Cobblestone Live Music Festival to excited crowds. The funk drummer will return this Wednesday, August 29 with a set that’ll likely include some talented local musicians by his side. -CP

FRIDAY AUGUST 31 Foghat 8pm Seneca Niagara Bear’s Den, 310 4th St $75

[ROCK] Perhaps best remembered for their FM staple "Slow Ride," British boogie-blues quartet Foghat was urged to reform in the early-mid 1990s by Rick Rubin. Rubin is known as a production pioneer and has won tons of awards for his work, so the band took his suggestion despite his proving unavailable to produce the album they made at that time, Return of the Boogie Men. Since then, they've toured intermittently despite ongoing lineup changes, due mainly to health problems. The lineup suffered a blow when longtime bassist Craig MacGregor died of cancer last winter, but original drummer Roger Earl remains, along with Bryan Bassett on lead guitar and Charlie Huhn on lead vocals, both on board since 2000. Rodney O'Quinn is playing bass in his stead, which includes their show at the Bear's Den at the Seneca Niagara Casino on Friday, August 31. -CJT

Holtz-a-Palooza 8pm Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St. $25

[ROCK] What the hell is a Holtz-a-Palooza, you might ask? Well, if you've spent any time down at Buffalo Ironworks, you may have met GM Josh Holtzman. Josh is also on the board of directors for Music is Art, is a cofounder of Cobblestone Live, and also used to manage Aqueous, among other endeavors. And he's getting married. So, Holtz-a-Palooza is a stag sendoff for Josh Hotlzman, featuring local 1990s rock mavens Kurt and the Loders. The $25 door cover gets you in for a three-hour open bar (8-11pm), a food buffet presented by Left Coast Taco, and some silent auction/raffle action. Proceeds will benefit Holtzman's wedding fund, but some of the auction proceeds go to (other) charities. Send Buffalo Ironworks' fearless leader—a force in our local music scene—off in style, Friday, August 31 -CJT

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1

PUBLIC APPROVED

Kool and the Gang 8pm Seneca Niagara Events Ctr, 310 4th St. $45

9PM / NIETZSCHE’S, 248 ALLEN ST. / $10

[FUNK] Kool and the Gang may not have achieved household-name success until the mid-later 1970s, but the group formed in the mid-1960s in Jersey City, giving their career an impressive 50-year-span. The current lineup, which will play the Seneca Niagara Events Center on Saturday, September 1, retains four original members, including bothers Robert and Ronald Bell. They still bring a full brass section and deliver a set that's hard to argue with, from the early funk stylings of "Open Sesame," "Hollywood Swinging," and "Jungle Boogie" to the smooth productionof "Get Down on It," "Cherish," "Ladies Night," and, of course, "Celebration." Got a sweet tooth for vintage R'n'B? Look no further, this will be worth every penny. -CJT

[INDIE] Synth pop band Humble Braggers will release their new EP,

Cycle, at Nietzsche’s this Saturday, September 1. The record, which will be released by Admirable Traits Records, features the band’s single, "Reckless," a bouncing, neon-synth-laden indie-pop track. They’ll be joined by experimental electronic pop band Space Cubs, who are still high on their new lineup and latest record, What Iff, which was released earlier in 2018. Four-piece indie rock band Little Summer rounds out the lineup with jangle-pop tunes from their 2017 album, Songs For No

One. DJ collective Dance Yrself Clean, is in on the fun, too, so get there early and stay late. A copy of Humble Braggers’ new record comes with the price of admission. Presented by Yace Booking. -CORY PERLA

Past Masters 4pm, Sportsmen's Tavern, 326 Amherst St. $10

[TRIBUTE] It can be tricky, "paying tribute." Folks shell out for tickets with expectations that are often completely unrealistic. We have many bands that travel around the world doing their damnedest to recreate the concert experiences of yore, note for note, complete with flying pigs and gigantic plastic zeppelins. And then we have bands like Past Masters—talented local/regional musicians who don't take themselves too seriously and don't have plans to tour the world covering the music of their idols, but who still work hard to deliver a show that can effectively take you down memory lane. After all, isn't that what's at the heart of the tribute band motif—a desire to evoke cherished memories?

Beatles aficionados Past Masters know how to serve up the Fab Four in a pleasing way, creating concert experiences that actually never happened before, since The Beatles stopped touring in 1966. Having only studio recordings to work with for the band's most discussed output could be construed as a blessing or a curse, but it hasn't deterred this six-piece from booking a Sunday afternoon gig at Sportsmen's Tavern on Sunday, September 2, during which the "White Album" (a.k.a. The Beatles) will be recreated in its entirety. The "White Album" turns 50 this year—celebrate with Past Masters. -CJT

[ROCK] It may never have occurred to you, but Pennsylvania-based Breaking Benjamin has managed to sell some seven million full-length albums and about as many singles during their almost 20-year career—impressive numbers at a time when 50,000 copies is a decent hit on the indie market—despite a hiatus from 2010

to 2014 and enough lineup changes to make it a completely different band (save for frontman/lyricist Benjamin Burnley). Touring this summer in support of last year's Ember, the new lineup is not shying away from classic material, performing an average of only three new tunes each night, leaving plenty of room for the aughties songs that made Burnley famous. At Darien Lake on Monday, September 3, they're splitting the bill with Vegas's Five Finger Death Punch. Also on board are openers Nothing More and Bad Wolves, making the ticket price (range from $30 to $120) a decent bang for your buck. -CJT

SPOTLIGHT MUSIC is also a visual artist. His signature artwork is his Mickey Mouse skull, the “monstro,” a Mickey doll with the face cut out, and replaced with a skull, a glass eye on one side, and the nose put back on. On tour with his various bands, Chow has covered the globe with this artwork, in different renditions, colors, and designs. His art can be seen in Adelaide and Melbourne in Australia, Sao Paulo in Brazil, Paris in France, Warsaw in Poland, Chicago and Buffalo, and many more countries in Europe and throughout the United States. The artwork on the Buffalo wall is adjacent to the restaurant Misuta Chow’s, which he and his partner in life and business, Christi Allen, recently opened, along with executive chef Dunbar Berdine. As Chow is inspired by art, he is also inspired by his travels, and this restaurant is an inside view into what attracted Chow to Tokyo, one of his favorite places to visit. The restaurant showcases the yokocho alleyways, with lights and lanterns and the outdoor seating. When one walks up the stairs in Misuta Chow’s, a fire-breathing monster movie poster is proudly displayed on a large brick wall on the way to the second floor. Instead of movie credits, the names on the artwork display the names of the people who are a part of bringing Misuta Chow’s to life. Chow attributes his successes to those who have helped him along the way.

JOHNNY CHOW BY VILONA TRACHTENBERG A BLACK AND white poster of a flag veils

the side of a brick building in an alleyway in downtown Buffalo. Instead of stars on the flag, the stars have been replaced with Mickey Mouse symbols with skulls inside of the Mickey heads. Johnny Chow never knew he would be part of a team that opened a restaurant right next to the brick wall that showcases his artwork. Chow plays many roles: musician, father, family man, restaurateur, visual artist, among others. Chow’s father immersed him in music world. He grew up in Buffalo, listening to the classical and opera music that his father enjoyed. Chow’s father gave him his first taste of a concert as well, when he let Chow stay up late to watch the Who in concert on HBO. His neighbors also had a large musical influence on him. His next-door neighbor’s father listened to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and “Gimme Shelter” was the first song he fell in love with—something with a completely different sound than he was used to hearing. One of his neighbors had a drum kit, another a guitar. Chow garbage-picked a guitar with four strings, and the group hooked up that guitar to an amp and turned the bass all the way up. At 11 years old, Chow, completely self-taught, became the group’s bass player. They played covers of Suicidal Tendencies and Black Flag. Nearly a decade later at age 20, Chow was still playing, and his father encouraged him to move if he was going to take his music career seriously. With that push, he moved to New York City, and started playing at legendary venues—

CBGB, Coney Island High, and Continental. Life is a cyclic journey, and Chow wasn’t afraid of changing his life to pursue his career in music. “Life is about having the drive to do what you want, and to do it as hard as you can without fail,” says Chow. “Even when it knocks you down, you have to get back up and dust yourself off. I’ve started over a million times because you have to. If you want to do what you want to do, you have to do that.” Many chance meetings sealed his fate as a successful musician. After moving to New York City, Chow met his friend Roy Mayorga, drummer of award-winning alternative metal band, Stone Sour. Roy played in a band called Nausea at the time, and was a sound guy at Wetlands and CBGB. Twelve years later, Chow moved to Los Angeles, and joined a band called My Ruin, through which he met his friend Yael, and learned that Yael and Roy knew each other—they had grown up in New York City together. Shortly after, Chow and Yael attended a convention of the National Association for Museum Merchants (NAMM), a century-old trade organization of companies that make musical instruments. At NAMM, they ran into Roy and reunited. At the time, Chow was in a band called Cavalera Conspiracy, but knew he would be on a brief hiatus from the band. He asked if Roy’s current band needed a bass player, and Roy was happy to have Chow join. In addition to being a successful musician, Chow

“It’s like that saying with luck: ‘Luck is where opportunity and preparation meet,’” said Chow. “An opportunity arose and I was prepared to take that opportunity. If that’s luck, then, yes I’m lucky. I worked hard to get where I’m at. I’ve reinvented myself over and over because I wanted to be where I’m at. All you have to do is stick to your guns. I’m very fortunate to be here, very thankful.” Besides his travels, Chow is inspired by his family, and inspired by other bands in the industry he is grateful to be a part of. Chow’s son loves alternative rock music, and Portugal. The Man is one of his son’s favorite bands. Chow started listening to their music because of his son. While in Europe playing a music festival with Portugal. The Man in the lineup, he wanted to meet them to tell them that his son inspired him to listen to their music. While waiting to talk to the band, Chow watched Milky Chance as well, another band his son told him about. While watching Milky Chance, a few guys come up to stage whom Chow had not met yet. One of the guys was in a wheelchair: Portugal. The Man’s guitarist and vocalist, Eric Howk. When Howk had an accident and was paralyzed, the band put their music on hold until Howk was able to be a part of the band again. That moment and lesson hit Chow hard. “Talk about inspiring. This guy is out there slaying, he’s an amazing guitarist. They’re a platinum, award-winning band, they’re out there slaying it. I was so inspired by that and blown away.” Chow is currently on tour with Stone Sour, as the opener for Ozzy Osbourne’s Farewell Tour, P “No More Tours 2.”

FILM REVIEW local dilettante Violet Gamart, who has had a vague whim of opening an arts center in the same building. The film of The Bookshop was scripted and directed by Isabel Coixet, a Spanish filmmaker who occasionally works in English. I very much enjoyed her 2003 My Life Without Me and 2014’s Learning to Drive; you may also have seen her Philip Roth adaption Elegy. But though she is clearly an experienced and talented director, something seems to have gone wrong here. The story is (spoiler alert) an unhappy one, but in the film it has become nearly incoherent. It seems poorly edited, with several supporting characters who make no sense. No film that stars Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, and Patricia Clarkson could be counted as unwatchable, but this one has to go down as a dreary disappointment.

THREE NEW BRITISH films, all adapted

from popular novels, explore the British soul with varying degrees of success in this week’s openings.

The legion fans of Downton Abbey, the hit television series set at a Yorkshire country estate between 1912 and 1925, have been thrilled to learn that a follow-up movie to the show’s six seasons is now being filmed. Could this be the beginning of a run of films that might become the Masterpiece Theater equivalent of the Star Wars and Marvel universes? There’s a big factor limiting that: Audiences indulge in nostalgia for houses like Downton because they don’t exist anymore, at least not in the condition depicted in the series. Problems afflicting the British agriculture industry (the houses were centerpieces of farm estates), an increase in death duties, and other taxes levied on the “landed classes” made them too expensive to maintain, and by the end of World War II many of them were falling into ruin. One of those is Hundreds Hall, the primary setting of The Little Stranger, adapted from the novel by Sarah Waters and directed by Lenny Abrahamson (Room). It is a house that figures prominently in the mind of Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson), who returns to the area where he was raised after the war. His mother had been a maid there, and when he was nine she took him to see the house, then at its splendid peak.

Called to Hundreds to tend to a sick maid, Dr. Farady discovers a crumbling ruin that bears little relation to the grand house he remembers so well. The maid Betty is the only staff remaining, tending to what is left of the Ayres family: mother Charlotte Rampling; son Roderick (Will Poulter), disfigured in the war and unable to keep up with his responsibilities; and daughter Caroline (Ruth Wilson), whose chances at marriage and a life of her own may have been ruined by her need to care for her brother. Part ghost story (or maybe not), part dissection of the British class system, The Little Stranger envelops you in gloom in the model of great Gothic tales. (The film’s production design and photography make you understand why the British love Miami.) The story pays homage to the greats of the genre—Wuthering Heights, in unexpected ways, as well as the fiction of Poe, Henry James, and Charles Dickens—but doesn’t require you to have a degree in English literature to enjoy it. *** THE PETTY PROVINCIALISM of rural Brits is

a theme of Penelope Fitzgerald’s 1978 novel The Bookshop. Set in 1959, it follows the efforts of war widow Florence Green to open a bookshop in a seaside town that has not enjoyed the post-war revival that has finally come to the rest of England. She sets up shop in a decrepit, possibly haunted building that has been vacant for years. This earns her the ire of the wealthy

*** THE AMAZON PAGE for the novel Juliet, Naked calls it “a quintessential Nick Hornby tale.” As used here, “quintessential” is a fivedollar word meaning that the author has written pretty much the same book that his audience liked in the past. I didn’t know that the film of the same name was adapted from a Hornby novel when I sat down to watch it, but within about 10 minutes I had scribbled in my notebook, “Seems like a continuation of High Fidelity.” Large dollops of About a Boy are also present in a story that begins with a low-level British academic, Duncan (Chris O’Dowd), and his obsession with an American musician, Tucker Crowe. In 1993 Crowe released an album, Juliet, chronicling the end of his relationship with a woman of that name, and soon after disappeared from the public eye.

This obsession is something that his girlfriend Annie (Rose Byrne) has learned to live with, along with Duncan’s disinterest in having children. Like most of Hornby’s men, he’s a manchild clinging to his adolescent fixations, and it’s a release when the movie casts him aside to bring Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke) into Annie’s life. As we learn why Crowe has been in retreat for 25 years, we see that he suffers from many of the same faults, but at least he’s trying to deal with them. Juliet, Naked doesn’t have much of value to say about contemporary relationships, at least nothing that Hornby hasn’t already worked to death, and the movie’s conclusion is a textbook example of waffling. But it’s generally goodhumored, especially when Hawke’s Crowe is the focus. Bonus points for including a version of the Kink’s “Waterloo Sunset,” and for the casting choice of Phil Daniels as the manager of a museum sponsoring a retrospective of England in 1964. (You may recall Daniels as the star of the film adaptation of the Who’s album Quadrophenia, which could as well have P been titled England in 1964.

THE CALENDAR WILL tell you that summer

ends on September 22, but no one believes that: We all know that it ends with Labor Day. And as far as Hollywood goes, it’s over by midAugust, with nothing to do for the rest of that month other than unload into theaters all the turkeys that are contractually obligated to get play dates. Bad news for Hollywood, maybe, but good news for all of us who yearn for something to look at that didn’t begin life as a comic book. This Thursday brings the new season of the popular THURSDAY NIGHT TERRORS series, showcasing horror movies of that ill-reputed but in this area underrated decade, the 1980s. Opening the monthly series is the cult movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a sterling example of a completely self-explanatory title. The must-see, don’t-miss, buy-your-ticketsnow-to-make-sure-you-don’t-get-sold-out screening comes on October 25 with The Return of the Living Dead, one of exactly two movies I can think of that is as funny as it is scary. (Oddly enough, the other was in theaters during the same month in 1985, Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator.) The series will also feature Popcorn (September 27), Blood Rage, the only slasher movie that can say that it co-stars Louise Lasser (November 15), and one of the few remakes that is better than the original, Chuck Russell’s The Blob (December 13). You can get advance tickets at the box office or website of the Dipson Amherst Theater. Already in progress is the latest edition of another popular monthly series, NOIR ESSENTIALS, which launched a season of Coen brothers movies last week with their debut Blood Simple. Sorry if you missed it, but there’s plenty left: Miller’s Crossing (September 26), The Man Who Wasn’t There (Oct. 24), an the Oscar winners No Country for Old Men (Nov. 14) and Fargo (Dec. 12). All at the Dipson Eastern Hills. If you can’t wait until then for your noir fix, the SCREENING ROOM will present one of the unarguable classics of the genre, Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, next Friday and Saturday evenings (September 7 and 8 at 7:30 pm). I plead guilty to overusing the phrase, “You haven’t really seen it until you’ve seen it on the big screen,” but if there’s one movie to which

no one would argue it applies, it’s Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was always baffled that MGM never re-released it 17 years ago, but it’s probably just as well they waited because the new restoration was supervised by no less than Christopher Nolan, whose team spurned digital technology in order to stay as true as possible to Kubrick’s original vision. What that vision was, of course, is as open to interpretation as ever. It opens for a one-week run at the North Park this Friday, with screenings daily at 12:30pm, 3:45pm, 7pm, and 10pm.

You can get your eyes in shape before that with another North Park screening of a movie that you haven’t really seen until etc. etc. with the 4K restoration of Ran, Akira Kurosawa’s epic adaptation of King Lear reimagined to medieval Japan. You can see it tonight and tomorrow (Wedneday and Thursday) at 9:15pm.

--------------------------------------------------

By contrast, the classic 1967 TV show THE PRISONER, starring Patrick McGoohan as a

--------------------------------------------------

retired secret agent who is held captive in what appears to be a British seaside resort town, was never meant to be shown on the big screen. But it works well there, as you’ll agree if you’ve been following episodes of it shown as part of the North Park’s weekend matinee series. You can catch episode five, “The Schizoid Man,” Sunday at 11:30am. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the previous episodes, though you’ll probably find yourself wanting to see the rest of it. Also at the Screening Room this week, you can view local entries in the yearly 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT this Thursday and Friday evenings. If you’re not familiar, it’s an international competition in which teams are given a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue: they then have 48 hours to create a short film containing those elements. Doors open at 6:15pm both nights. Saturday brings the newest entry in the Screening Room’s NIGHT AT THE GRINDHOUSE series with a double feature of Get My Gun, a hit at last fall’s Buffalo Dreams film festival (also shown by itself next Weds. night), and the 1965 Italian camp classic Bloody Pit of Horror, in which fashion models on a shoot at an abandoned castle are stalked by nutcase Mickey Hargitay, who believes himself to be the reincarnated P spirit of a 17th-century executioner.
