On the Edge of the Weekend
September 12, 2013
People New book tells the story of Mother Jones By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge Barely 30 minutes north of Edwardsville along I-55 is the town of Mount Olive. I’ve never been to Mount Olive and don’t know much about it. In fact, the only thing I do know about this little Central Illinois town is that it is home to the Mother Jones Monument. I know this because I saw the sign for it countless times as I drove back and forth from college in Champaign to home during weekends and holidays. I often wondered who Mother Jones was and what she did that was so important it earned her a monument. I wondered, but back then I never took the time to find out. If you don’t know who Mother Jones is, you should. A century ago this tiny, elderly woman – a hellraiser - stood up for the rights of the working class throughout America’s Industrial Revolution. She fought tirelessly for the men working in the coal mines of West Virginia, the women forced into prostitution by a system that had abandoned them and the children whose innocence was replaced with the drudgery of factory work. Yet even in the face of personal tragedy, she never lost sight of what was truly important. In his novel, “Hellraiser - Mother Jones: An Historical Novel,” author Jerry Ash set out to tell Mother Jones’ story in a new, more personal way. Ash is already the author of eight books on the subjects of history, business and knowledge management, but this is his first historical novel. Inevitably, parallels are drawn between Jones’ fight for the plight of the coal miners and railroad workers of her day and
the similar plight of today’s fast food and big box store workers struggling to survive on the limited hours and meager wages doled out by multi-billion dollar corporations.
But first and foremost, this is a fictional story about a remarkable real life woman. Mary Harris was born in Cork City, Ireland, in 1837. She immigrated with her family to
Canada and later to America. She spent a few years as a schoolteacher, but her restless spirit craved more so she quit and moved to Chicago to become a seamstress. That too, was short-lived and before long she headed south to Memphis, Tenn. While there, she met and married George Jones, a union organizer, just before the outbreak of the Civil War. It was there in Memphis by her husband’s side that she got her first taste of fighting for the rights of others. Ash, who is a former newspaper editor/publisher and journalism professor, gets right inside of Jones’ head. Through her commanding voice, he draws the reader in with action-packed stories about the Great Fire of Chicago and the Haymarket Square riot, the bloody coal wars of West Virginia, the railroad riots in Pittsburgh and the horrible conditions children faced working in cotton and textile mills. Many historians have told Mother Jones’ story. However, where Ash succeeds is in wrapping her story around a fictional narrative told by Mother herself. In the preface, Ash states that he wanted to write the book in the first person, present tense as a way to give Mother Jones back her voice so that the reader can experience these historical events right along with her. Like the people in her stories we, too, are taken under Mother’s wing. She’s sitting right there next to you in her black dress and high-heeled boots, telling you to stand up for your rights and never let anyone tell you to back down. Mother Jones’ tale begins during her five-month incarceration on murder charges for her role in the coal wars of West Virginia. While in jail, Jones tells her life story to a young woman named Sarah, who
has been jailed for prostitution and lost custody of her infant son. Sarah listens eagerly to Mother Jones’ stories about her early life and her eventual role as an activist for the working poor. Ash skillfully switches from 1913 to flashbacks 40 years earlier of Jones’ life as the young wife of a union organizer in Memphis. When tragedy strikes – more than once - we experience the intense pain and loss she feels right along with her. Through Mother’s stories we get to know the people and events that shaped her life. There’s Sarah, the desperate mother whose son was taken away; spunky Addie Thompson, Mother’s right-hand woman in West Virginia; Terence Powderly, who helps recruit and organize the Knights of Labor alongside Mother; and the many nameless families working like slaves down in the coal mines, railroads and sweltering factories across America. Ash is a talented storyteller who successfully manages to bring both Mother Jones and the issues of her day vividly to life. Whether you are a history buff or just someone who loves a thrilling adventure story, “Hellraiser” won’t disappoint. So the next time you find yourself driving north on I-55 past the sign for the Mother Jones Monument, don’t pass by wondering who this woman was. Read “Hellraiser” and meet her for yourself. “Hellraiser – Mother Jones: An Historical Novel” will be released Sept. 22 and is available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, iBooks and the author’s website at JerryAsh.com.

Join the Garden in welcoming the work of acclaimed photographer, Caren Alpert to the Missouri Botanical Garden September 6 through November 22 for her exhibit entitled “terra cibus.” The San Francisco-based fine art and commercial photographer combines her love for photography, food and art in photos taken with an electron microscope. Alpert captures the microscopic, almost other-worldly surfaces of common foods such as Oreo cookies, shrimp, leaves and candy, turning what might normally be a scientific endeavor into fine art. Caren Alpert's Pineapple Leaf “Photographs taken with electron microscopes have seized my interest because of their mystery and simultaneous familiarity. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way. The closer the lens got, the more I saw food - and consumers of food - as part of a larger eco-system,” stated Alpert. The exhibit assists in bringing attention to the International Year of Food and the Garden’s “Foodology: Dig In” theme for 2013. The “terra cibus” exhibit will be shown in Monsanto Hall of the Ridgway Center and is included with Missouri Botanical Garden admission of $8 for adults and free for children ages 12 and under. St. Louis City and County residents enjoy discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon. Missouri Botanical Garden members are free. The Missouri Botanical Garden is located at 4344 Shaw Blvd. in south St. Louis, accessible from Interstate 44 at the Vandeventer exit and from Interstate 64 at the Kingshighway North and South exit. Free parking is available on site and two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer. For general information, visit www.mobot.org or call (314) 577‑5100 (toll-free, 1‑800‑642‑8842). Follow the Garden on Facebook and Twitter at www.facebook.com/missouribotanicalgarden and http://twitter.com/ mobotnews. More than 45,000 households in the St. Louis region hold memberships to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Memberships begin at $65 ($60 for seniors) and offer 12 months of free general admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under, plus exclusive invitations and discounts. Members help support the Garden’s operations and world-changing work in plant science and conservation. Learn more at www.mobot.org/ membership.

Music Tuning in Harry Connick Jr. to peform at The Fox AEG Live and Fox Concerts present multi-talented entertainer, Harry Connick, Jr., for one night only at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Sunday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 23 at 10 am at the Fox Box Office, online at metrotix.com or by calling (314) 534-1111. Ticket prices start at $49.50. Harry Connick, Jr. and his band will perform in support of his new album, Every Man Should Know, a collection of twelve original songs touching on some of Harry's deepest feelings about life and love. “No rules, no limits,” is how Connick describes the songs in his liner notes for the new collection. “I don’t recall ever reaching quite as deeply – or confidently – into my inhibition pool.” The range of the CDs songs is vast, touching upon love and loss, celebration and sorrow, tragedy and hope. With Every Man Should Know, Harry Connick, Jr. triumphs once again, with a depth of feeling that signals another milestone for one of the music world’s most multifaceted artists. Critics have been quick to agree with People Magazine calling it “impressive,” and the Boston Globe saying the album features “his most thoughtful and personal songs to date” and says it’s “an album that every Harry Connick Jr fan should own.” The Chicago Tribune said, “Harry Connick Jr achieves a personal best” about his summer concert in Chicago. More information can be found at www. harryconnickjr.com.
Vieaux to open St. Louis Classical Guitar Society season On Saturday, September 28th at 8pm, guitarist Jason Vieaux will perform the opening concert of the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society’s 50th anniversary season at the Ethical Society of St. Louis (9001 Clayton Rd). The St. Louis
Classical Guitar Society was established in 1963 and has been presenting the finest guitarists and ensembles with guitar to St. Louis audiences since the mid-1970's. It is the second-oldest guitar society in the United States. Appropriately, Vieaux’s performance will feature Benjamin Britten’s Nocturnal, which was written the same year that the society was founded, 1963. Vieaux’s diverse program will also include Isaac Albéniz’s Sevilla, J.S. Bach’s Lute Suite No. 1 in E Minor, Paulo Bellinati’s Jongo, Dan Visconti’s Devil’s Strum, Pat Metheny’s The Bat, and Jose Luis Merlin’s Suite del Recuerdo. In 2003, Vieaux’s CD, “Sevilla: The Music of Isaac Albeniz” made several top ten lists of the year. This will be the Missouri premiere of Dan Visconti’s Devil’s Strum which was written for Jason Vieaux. Of Devil’s Strum, Visconti states, “One of the defining myths surrounding American blues guitar playing is about a pact with the supernatural. In one such account, a man meets the Devil at the lonely crossroads in the dead of night, and strikes a bargain: in exchange for inhuman ability and charisma as a guitarist, the man need only sign over his eternal soul. The central moment in several versions of the myth is when the Devil tunes up the doomed man's guitar – the moment when the strings become awakened with unseen power and the man's fate is sealed. My new work for guitarist Jason Vieaux begins at just this moment –the moment of the Devil's long fingers strumming the jangly strings.” Jason Vieaux, "among the elite of today's classical guitarists" (Gramophone), is the classical guitarist that goes beyond the classical. He has earned a reputation for putting his expressive gifts and virtuosity at the service of a remarkably wide range of music, and his schedule of recital, concerto, chamber music, teaching and recording commitments i s d i s t i n g u i s h e d w i t h re t u r n engagements throughout the U.S. and abroad. This year, Vieaux’s performance invitations have included returns
to the Caramoor Festival, New York’s 92nd Street Y “Guitar Marathon”, the Elgin Symphony and others. Numerous highlights for 2012-2013 included concertos with the symphonies of Houston, Toronto, Spokane, Augusta (GA) and Silicon Valley, a performance of the Lukas Foss Concerto for the New Hampshire Music Festival, d u o re c i t a l s w i t h a c c l a i m e d harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and accordion/bandoneon virtuoso Julien Labro, solo recitals in Austin, at the Mannes School of Music and California’s La Guitarra Festival, and another Curtis On Tour sojourn, this time to South America.

Sevilla: The Music of Isaac Albeniz made several Top Ten lists the year of its release.

Music Tuning in McLaughlin to perform at Blueberry Hill Singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin has announced his Holding My Breath tour, kicking off just a day after the release of a new album on September 24th. The tour begins close to his Midwest home base and travels throughout the country with stops in Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia and New York. The forthcoming album, crowdfunded via PledgeMusic, is the second self-released project for McLaughlin, whose Forever If Ever debuted at #1 on both the iTunes Singer Songwriter Top 200 album chart and the iTunes Top 100 songs chart in 2011. Shortly after Forever if Ever was released, Razor & Tie Records licensed the album, renaming it Promising Promises. Over 800,000 people have watched the video to the album’s single “Summer Is Over,� which features guest vocals by Sara Bareilles. McLaughlin’s debut album, Indiana (2007), and OK Now (2008) immediately connected with music fans and drove his sweetly melancholy songs up the pop charts, including “Beautiful Disaster� and “So Close� (from the Disney film Enchanted) which he performed at the 2008 Academy Awards. The success of 2011’s Forever if Ever reaffirmed his commitment to remaining an independent artist and strengthened his already close bond with his fans, prompting him to offer private concerts, studio visits and personal letters to those helping crowdfund the recording of his newest project (http:// www.pledgemusic.com/projects/ jonmclaughlin). McLaughlin will perform on Sept. 28 at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis. For more information, visit www. blueberryhill.com.

Music That's what the Quarter Draw Band does best By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge
A
big ol' music jambalaya,” is how guitarist Clyde Crisler describes it. Band mate Vic Kreuiter describes it as “rhythm and Midwestern.” Whatever you want to call their style of music, the guys of the Quarter Draw Band are having a heck of a lot of fun making it.
The Edwardsville-based band rocked the stage with its brand of honky tonk barroom country at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield last month. They performed on the Director ’s Lawn during the Governor ’s Day Picnic on Aug. 14. “We had a great time,” said Marty Richter of Collinsville a few days later. “The weather was amazing; the fair was amazing… lots of folks there and a nice big stage, people dancing, good food. It was fun.” Richter, who plays guitar and sings, said they got the chance to speak to the governor following their set, which was a further thrill. “He obviously paid attention because he mentioned several of the songs he liked that we played, and he signed a drum head for us. It was great,” said Richter. All five members of QDB hail from Madison County. Between them, they have played in dozens of bands dating back to the ‘60s and have played everything from rock and blues to country, horn and psychedelic. Besides Richter, the band includes Hank Burge, of Edwardsville (drums, vocals); Clyde Crisler, of Troy (guitar, vocals) of Troy; Vic Kreuiter, of Glen Carbon (keyboards, blues harp, sax, vocals) and Mick Soos, of Troy (bass, vocals). The band covers everything from the Rolling Stones and the Allman Brothers to CCR

Below, members of the Quarter Draw Band catch up with Governor Pat Quinn following their set at the Governor’s Day Picnic. From left are Richter, Kreuiter, Crisler, Soos, Burge and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. and The Band, Robert Johnson and Elmore James to Tennessee Ernie Ford and Merle Haggard, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and ZZ Top to Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Even more impressive, they also have a deep catalog of more than 40 original songs. A typical bar show might include a fourhour set of popular covers like Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally” peppered with a few choice originals to keep things interesting. Three out of the five band members have day jobs, but that doesn’t stop them from taking their music very seriously. Richter and Kreuiter both work at public relations firm FleishmanHillard while Burge works for the city of
Edwardsville in the public works department. Crisler and Soos are both retired. The band officially got its start in 2005, but its history goes all the way back to 1965. Back then, Vic Kreuiter was just a 15-year-old high school student who liked to play music. A mutual friend introduced Kreuiter to Jody Jones, who was then a student at Wood River High School. Together, the three of them formed The Jagged Edge and played “whatever was on the radio,” said Kreuiter with a laugh. “I didn’t even have a driver ’s license yet,” he said. A few years later Jones got drafted to Vietnam and that was the end of The Jagged Edge. Thirty years later Jones moved
back to the Edwardsville area and reconnected with Kreuiter. They got a couple of guys together and formed a new band called The Impalas and started playing bar shows around the area. Then one day a couple of years later, Jones decided they were done with all that. “He looked at me and said ‘We’re done doing this. We’re gonna do something else,’” said Kreuiter. “I said, ‘Fair enough.’” Jones, who had converted his basement into a recording studio, proposed they quit the bar scene and record an original album instead. Kreuiter was up for the challenge, but for various reasons the other guys weren’t interested and decided to leave the band. So, Jones and Kreuiter started writing new material and kept an eye out for new members who would be interested in recording. That’s when they found Crisler and Richter. A little while later, Hank Burge joined and the Quarter Draw Band was born. Jones continued to urge them on to write and record the best material they could. In 2007, after nearly a year in the studio, the band released its debut album, “For Sale By Owner.” The band’s bio states that the songs range “from the bluesy groove of ‘Put it Back on Me’ to Southern-fried rockers like ‘Gatlinburg’ and ‘Jefferson County,’ from cinematic boogie tunes like ‘B-Movie Love Affair ’ to suds-soaked odes to booze and jukeboxes like ‘Beer Dreamin’.” Sadly, the excitement and momentum was short-lived.
September 12, 2013
Two years later Jones passed away from pancreatic cancer on Dec. 18, 2009. It was a major blow for the remaining members of QDB. “He was just a fascinating guy. He was in a country band in England, he played in a heavy metal band in the Persian Gulf,” said Richter. “We all really miss him. He was the heart and soul of the band.” But the show must go on and it did. The remaining band members picked up their instruments and carried on playing. Bassist Mick Soos joined the band, and the gigs kept coming. You can usually find the QDB bringing its blend of rock ‘n’ roll, greasy gutbucket blues and full-tilt Southern boogie to clubs, bars and festivals throughout the greater St. Louis area and southern Illinois. The band has a standing gig on the third Friday of every month at the Edwardsville Moose Lodge and also plays at the Hawg Pit in Grafton. “It’s really a privilege to be able to write and perform music with such a great and talented group of guys. There are times onstage where you can just feel the whole band lock in and sort of lift up off the ground and take off. Nights like that are why I do this,” said Richter. The band’s album, “For Sale By Owner,” is available at CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com/ cd/quarterdraw), iTunes and Spotify. You can find out more about the Quarter Draw Band, including upcoming shows and how to book the band, on its Facebook page at “Quarter Draw Band.”

Religion Religion briefs Real estate entrepreneur wants to erect large statue of Jesus Christ in South Dakota SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) — A real estate entrepreneur in Spearfish, S.D., wants to erect a large sculpture of Jesus Christ on city-owned land high upon a hillside.
Rand Williams says the issue of separation of church and state is a legitimate concern, but he at least wants public discussion about his idea. Williams last year bought a 6,000seat amphitheater that hosted the Black Hills Passion Play for nearly 70 years. The play has attracted millions of visitors for summer productions. The Black Hills Pioneer reports that Williams says his vision for re v i t a l i z i n g t h e a m p h i t h e a t e r won’t necessarily be derailed if
the idea for the statue doesn’t pan out.
Coalition of Evangelicals launches ad campaign
Convention, hopes to give an earful to key congressional lawmakers about immigration reform. The Evangelical Immigration Table, formed last year, has launched a $400,000 radio ad campaign in 56 congressional districts. The ads will feature local pastors and national voices encouraging passage of immigration reform without delay.
Dr. Barrett Duke of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission says the ads will air for two weeks “at saturation rates.” Texas, pastor Stan Coffey says Evangelicals should let their voices be heard on the issue and that he believes “this is what Jesus would have done if he were here.”

"Elysium"
Of all the movie villains we’ve met lately, few are stranger than Delacourt, Jodie Foster’s evil, white-blonde, power-suited and power-hungry defense official in “Elysium,” the much-awaited but ultimately somewhat disappointing new film from director Neill Blomkamp. From her command post on a ritzy space station high up above 22nd-century Earth, a demitasse of espresso at her side, Delacourt doles out orders in a foreign but unrecognizable accent. “Send them to deportation!” she barks, when “undocumented” ships breach her borders. “Get them off this habitat!” Blomkamp, whose sci-fi parable “District 9” came out of nowhere four years ago to earn a best-picture Oscar nod, is crystal clear in his intentions here. He’s making obvious statements about immigration and universal health care, and whether the frequent references bother you or not will greatly influence how much you enjoy the film. One thing you can’t deny, though, is its visual beauty, and, as in “District 9,” his masterful use of special effects. It’s not for nothing that Blomkamp, at the tender age of 33, has been called a visionary artist of the genre. His “Elysium” — that space station in the sky, looking a lot like present-day Easthampton — is an enormous wheel, on the rim of which its wealthy residents, having left the teeming and polluted Earth, inhabit pristine white homes with bright green manicured lawns. Brilliant sunlight dapples the blue waters of their swimming pools. Classical music and clinking glasses echo in the background. For some reason, people seem to speak French. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong bloody violence and language throughout.” RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
“Lee Daniels’ The Butler”
On the Edge of the Weekend
"The World's End"
Sci-fi movies, we all know, create unlikely heroes, and this summer’s no exception. Remember Brad Pitt as a U.N. inspector in “World War Z”? He just wanted to hang at home with his family, but he had to save the world from raging zombies. And Matt Damon in “Elysium”? He played a reformed car thief who just wanted to heal himself — and suddenly, he needed to rescue the planet. But Simon Pegg in “The World’s End,” the latest work of brilliant inanity from director Edgar Wright, takes this whole reluctant-savior-of-humanity thing to a new plane. Twenty years after high school, Pegg’s scruffy, unshaven, never-gonnagrow-up, substance-abusing Gary can’t hold down a job. His idea of a relationship is a quick tryst in the loo of a pub. This is a guy who’s gonna save us — or at least, parts of suburban England — from an alien invasion? Lord help us. Of course, if you’re a fan of Pegg’s earlier two films with Wright, the 2004 “Shaun of the Dead” and the 2007 “Hot Fuzz,” you’ll know that such plot absurdities are not only par for the course, but crucial to the delightful sensibilities of this genre-twisting oeuvre. Wright has called this movie the last in a trilogy, and what unites the three is that each is a sendup — though a loving one — of a genre: “Shaun” is a zombie film, “Hot Fuzz” a buddy cop movie, and “The World’s End” one of those bittersweet coming-home films that show how difficult it is to really, well, go home. Because it’s never the same. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “pervasive language including sexual references.” RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"You're Next"
“You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve.” Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything. And that means that over more than three decades on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only of the White House under seven presidents, but of the long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century America. Much has been said about this movie’s potential future as an Oscar powerhouse. The speculation is natural — especially given its star-studded cast — but it takes away from the more important discussion of its simpler virtues, as an absorbing film that has the potential to teach a new generation (and remind an older one) about these crucial events. The story is inspired by a Washington Post profile of Eugene Allen, a White House butler from 1952 to 1986. Some anecdotes remain, but much is different. Most importantly, Daniels and screenwriter Danny Strong create a father-son dynamic between Gaines and a rebellious older son, Louis (a terrific David Oyelowo) that serves as a backdrop against which the civil rights struggle can play out — through the eyes of black characters, not white ones, for a refreshing change. This is done most strikingly in a key montage in which Cecil and his fellow White House workers set up an elegant state dinner, china and crystal and all, while down South, Louis is protesting at a segregated lunch counter, leading to a harrowing confrontation. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.” RUNNING TIME: 132 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
“You’re Next” is a nasty little slasher film that starts poorly but gets better once most of the cast has been butchered. Indie film figures Joe Swanberg and Ti West play two attendees at a party where four siblings and their significant others are celebrating their parents’ 35th wedding anniversary. Most tolerable among this largely annoying crew are Crispian (A.J. Bowen), a college prof, and his Australian girlfriend Erin (Sharni Vinson), but that’s not paying the two very high praise. The irritation factor grows substantially after the first slaying at this remote Tudor mansion, when half the female cast seems to be competing to shriek the longest. An unknown number of men, wearing animal masks and wielding crossbows (why not guns?), are stalking the family from without and within the house; since director Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett have given themselves so many characters to kill, they start off with a few quick killings in which the victims are behaving so stupidly they’re practically asking to die. Most frustrating during the film’s first half is that only one among the 10 characters, Erin, has anything approaching a self-preservation instinct. While others scream or stand around dumbly, she hustles off to lock windows and gather weapons. While the mask-wearing villains have a hard time delivering the kind of novel slayings horror fans demand, Vinson musters the ferocity to compensate — the moment she meat-tenderizes an attacker’s skull, the movie starts to turn fun. In the absence of sympathetic characters, a little humor would have gone a long way here. But aside from a near-miss sex scene in a bed shared by a corpse, there’s practically none on hand. Only when the reasons for the attack become clear does the movie find its feet, but “You’re Next” ends on a high enough note that buzz on the way out of the theater should work in its favor. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for

“strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.” RUNNING TIME: Running time: 96 minutes.
“Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”
A young adult fiction binge has broken out in “Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.” Like an 80-car pill-up, all of the current tropes of teenage fantasy here careen into one another: the young heroine with previously unknown powers; the gothic mix of heavenly and hellish supernatural creatures; the breathless romance with a young Brit of angelic cheekbones. And, oh, the tattoos. It’s an overdose of mysticism, concocted to give devoted young fans their fix: a heartthrob to swoon over and grand battles to match inflated teenage emotions. The film is based on the first in a series of popular young adult novels by Cassandra Clare, whose writing originated in “Harry Potter” fan fiction. It’s a blatant inspiration to “City of Bones,” the first of a planned franchise, as is (if you haven’t already guessed) “Twilight.” Like a hand bag bought on a New York street, this is the knockoff version. Lily Collins stars as Clary, a teen who discovers that her mother (Lena Headey) is secretly a Shadowhunter, a hunter of demons. At the same time as her mom is kidnapped, Clary, a bright redhead, realizes she’s able to see a hidden world in their native New York, one where Shadowhunters, demons, werewolves and warlocks stealthily operate in varying degrees of gothic drab, invisible to humans, or “mundanes.” It’s a lot like a mediocre episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of fantasy violence and action, and some suggestive content.” RUNNING TIME: 130 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.
"Closed Circuit"
We’re all being watched. All the time. That’s a key message of “Closed Circuit,” an entertaining and well-crafted if not overly heart-stopping British conspiracy thriller starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall. Security cameras are everywhere, giving us birds-eye glimpses of each character, and reminding us that we, too, are never really alone. Such a concept is hardly shocking in 2013. After all, we write an email, and soon an ad pops up telling us where to buy that thing we sort of mentioned. And of course we’ve learned in recent months not only of secret government surveillance but even the “Boyfriend Tracker” app for our phones. Perhaps we really do live in a post-privacy era. But if it’s not a shocking concept, the makers of “Closed Circuit,” an intelligent film directed by John Crowley, have certainly shown how creepy it can be. In the London we see here — one of the most watched places in the world, we learn, in terms of security cameras — you never know who’s around the corner, or who’s been in your apartment, leaving a book slightly askew on your shelf. You don’t know who that cab driver or dinner-party companion truly is. You don’t even know which side your closest colleagues are on. At least, such is life for Martin Rose (Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Hall), two lawyers who become ensnared in the legal case surrounding a horrific terror attack, the bombing of a bustling London food market. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and brief violence.” RUNNING TIME: 96 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

In this Feb. 24, 2013, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke arrive at the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscars Viewing and After Party at the Sunset Plaza Hotel in West Hollywood.
Patton, Thicke have clear lines on work By NICOLE EVATT Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paula Patton is having the best summer ever. Professionally, the 37-year-old actress is busy promoting the romantic comedy “Baggage Claim,” which opens Sept. 27. “2 Guns,” starring Patton, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, opened earlier this month. Personally, Patton is relishing the success of her husband, Robin Thicke, who has the catchy summer hit, “Blurred Lines.” “You couldn’t have planned this better. It’s a really odd, wonderful coincidence,” said Patton of their simultaneous career highs.
“We celebrate in the kitchen late at night after we put our son to sleep, and we’re like, ‘Can you believe this?”’ she said with a highpitched squeal. “And then we do things like (tell each other) ‘drive the speed limit,’ ‘don’t mess around.’ It’s like ‘don’t mess this up!”’ In an interview earlier this month, Patton talked about prepping Thicke for her sexy on-camera scenes and said a healthy dose of jealousy is the key to a lasting relationship. AP: What does Robin think about your “Baggage Claim” makeout scenes with Derek Luke, Boris Kodjoe and Djimon Hounsou? Patton: I always prep him for the sexy scenes. I mean the moment he’s not a little jealous is the day that I’m very worried, OK? And I think he
feels the same way. You have to have a little bit of jealousy. But mostly it’s happiness for each other because we’ve known each other since we were kids and we dreamt the same dream together and we know how hard it’s been. It’s had its peaks and its valleys. It’s a marathon. So when you have great moments like this, or when you just get to work, quite frankly, you’re just so thankful that you can kind of overlook the things that might hurt a little bit. AP: In the film, your character faces a lot pressure to get married and start a family. Did you experience anything like that? Patton: You know a little bit because my husband and I met when we were so young and then we lived together, ‘lived in sin,’ and
then we had a long engagement. It was sort of that ‘is it ever going to happen?’ But we were so young. We were just kind of having fun. AP: Will you pressure your kids to settle down? Patton: I wouldn’t do that, no. I find that so archaic to be honest. I’m not really a traditional person that way. I don’t think people need to follow anybody’s rules but their own. Follow your heart. AP: Did your son visit you on the movie set? Patton: My son came to visit me a lot, but there’s a lot of scenes that you just don’t want ‘why are you kissing a man that’s not daddy?’ That’s just not good. That’s not healthy for a 2-year-old. He’s three now, but that could scar him. You know what I mean?
"The Spectacular Now" tops Labor Day field By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge There is absolutely no faking strong chemistry between actors in a scripted work. Bring nuance and believability to the interplay of characters is crucial to all film and television, but never more so than in a romance. If you don't believe that two people are genuinely in love, no talent of director or heft of budget will do anything to make the material work. In "The Spectacular Now" to young people accomplished performers, but relative newcomers nonetheless - fire away on all cylinders and make a simple project far more memorable than it would be on its own. To call this Labor Day weekend's film product appropriately lame would be fair, I suppose. There hasn't exactly been a strong release during
this time of year in a long, long time. The traditional close to the Summer box office season is usually more filled with dwindling action films and sex comedies that have a snowball's chance of surviving the hot weather and middling crowds. If you could spend the weekend at the lake or finishing that last home project while the days are long, wouldn't you? I go to the movies every week and even I just snuck a trip in before I had to go back to work after Monday's holiday (by the way, that trip was to see "Jobs," the Steve Jobs/Apple Computer biopic that was above average and hauntingly well cast). This review, however, is based on my experience just before the weekend with a sweet little project that is equal parts drama and comedy, but wholly filled with tragic teen angst. Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) is the focal point of this story of a teenage
boy coming to grips with an unhappy home life by succumbing to empty bravado and alcoholism. He's never without a kind, meaningless word for everyone. Most of them follow a fortifying swig from his everpresent flask or vodka-addled Big Gulp. His world falls apart when Cassidy (Brie Larson), the love of his young life, dumps him just into their Senior year of high school. After blackout drinking to stave off his unhappiness, he wakes up on the lawn of Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley, so wonderful in 2011's The Descendants), a socially deficient girl who is just coming overcoming her own awkwardness and outcast status to become the amazing, lovely woman that she has been all along. The two hit it off instantly. While their social skills may be coming from different places, their meteoric rise and fall quickly match them up in
the middle. Aimee's ambition and aptitude are tainted by Sutter's slacker mentality and lack of drive, especially as he corrupts her innocence with drink, but the story focuses little on her bizarre family background. Her history is eschewed in favor of his juicy back-story with an overworked mom (Jennifer Jason Leigh), barelyhanging-on sister (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and a caring boss (Bob Odenkirk, playing a subtle, likable part for a change). This movie is built on an developing relationship about two young people setting out to find themselves and each other despite having very little in the way of strong values or support while growing up. The strongest example of this is when they set out to find Sutter's father (Kyle Chandler), a lout who gets worse the more we find about him. Sutter has ventured into manhood thinking that
September 12, 2013
he was driven away by his shrewish mother, but a tense and emotionless rendezvous at a local tavern proves that maybe daddy dearest wasn't in it for the long haul either way. Aimee does her best during this tense time to be supportive, but it's a crippling time that even a loving girlfriend can't help a guy but barely get through. Keep your eyes peeled for a pretty spectacular car accident, too, during this heightened sequence. "The Spectacular Now" might not be the best movie ever made, but it's definitely the best Labor Day movie out there right now. Especially if your other choice is the One Direction concert movie. "The Spectacular Now" runs 107 minutes and is rated R for alcohol use, language and some sexuality - all involving teens. I give this film two stars out of four.

The Arts Artistic adventures Kemper Museum to host the works of Rashid Johnson A young man in suit and tie gazes warily at the camera, taking its measure, betraying nothing, sly wit reserved for the title. In Self Portrait with My Hair Parted Like Frederick Douglass (2003), Ra s h i d J o h n s o n p a y s h o m a g e to the 19th-century abolitionist, putting himself in dialogue with this renowned cultural icon but also crafting his own myth of artistic self-creation. T h i s f a l l , Wa s h i n g t o n University's Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum will present Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks, the first museum exhibition to survey the career of the Chicago-born, New York-based artist. In works that span photography, painting, sculpture and video, Johnson confronts old assumptions about the African American experience while exploring, often playfully, the complexities, contradictions and singular histories that comprise black identity today. The exhibit will be on display
from Sept. 20 through Jan. 6. T h o u g h J o h n s o n f re q u e n t l y alludes to historical and cultural f i g u re s , h e a l s o i n c o r p o r a t e s commonplace objects from his own childhood, a process he describes as “hijacking the domestic.” Plants, books, record albums, photographs, soap—all become the working materials for conceptually loaded and visually compelling artworks. Death by Black Hole “The Crisis” (2010) includes books by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and social critic Harold Cruse, while Triple Consciousness (2009) serves as a virtual altar to Al Green’s 1975 Greatest Hits. In The Shuttle (2011), Johnson layers references to comedian (and one-time presidential candidate) Dick Gregory and his own father. Self Portrait Laying on Jack Johnson’s Grave (2006) juxtaposes the historical and contemporary, depicting the artist collapsed across the heavyweight champion’s gravestone. Johnson’s work remains grounded in the strategies of modern and contemporary art, particularly abstraction and appropriation. A n t i b i o t i c ( 2 0 11 ) i s a l a rg e ,
aggressively textured painting executed in black soap and wax, while Promised Land and Run (both 2008) consist of their respective titles spray-painted, graffiti-style, onto mirrors. In Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos (2008), Johnson scales a marksman’s viewfinder to darkly comic proportions, leaving viewers to determine on which side of the crosshairs they stand. Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks is organized by curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm from the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where it debuted in 2012. The St. Louis exhibition is curated by Meredith Malone, associate curator at the Kemper Art Museum. The exhibition also has traveled to the Miami Art Museum (fall 2012) and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta (summer 2013).

Julia Biggs/The Edge
Dionna Boner Raedeke at the Edwardsville Arts Center with one of her paintings.
Local artist coming home By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge
T
he art of Dionna Boner Raedeke, a 1990 Edwardsville High School graduate, will be featured in the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Student Galley today through Oct. 11. Raedeke’s exhibit is more than a homecoming. It’s a chapter of her life coming full circle because Raedeke is one of the original two women who initiated the EAC’s conception. Raedeke recalled being interested in art, dance and music from a very young age, having grown up in a very musical and artistic family in Leclaire. “My grandma was signing me up for art and dance since I was about 7,” she said. “In the summer SIU had classes for kids, Saturday Studio, and I always took Saturday Studio or summer workshops for kids which used to be at the old Wagner complex which is now Lewis and Clark’s Nelson Center. It was easy for me to walk there.” Always making art as a child, Raedeke recalled a moment in elementary school that had an impact on her realization that she had talent. “Betsy Park was my kindergarten and first grade teacher,” Raedeke noted. “In second grade she picked my piece out to be in a show to be at SIUE. I still have the piece she picked out of mine. In high school, Raedeke said former EHS Art Teacher Dennis DeToye also encouraged her artistic talents as well as another teacher, Lynn North. "She had a strong sense for graphic design, and I think she sort of helped me foster that a little too,” Raedeke added. After graduating from EHS in 1990, Raedeke attended SIUE. “I thought I would just do my general studies there,” she pointed out. “I had big dreams of going to New York or Chicago – some big art school – but I ended up falling in love with the art department at
SIU.” While pursuing her degree at SIUE, Raedeke worked to pay for her education and also took advantage of opportunities to study abroad. “I put myself through college so it took me a while to get through school,” she said. “I took some semesters off, and I did a study abroad with the University of MissouriColumbia. We went to Florence, Italy, where we studied drawing and painting which was kind of cool.” Prior to graduating from SIUE with a BFA in studio arts – a major in ceramics and a minor in print making – Raedeke joined the SIUE Art Department on a month-long trip to Mexico to study the artisans of Mexico. It was during her college years that she and Susan Bostwick founded ArtEast, an annual art event that highlights the talents of Madison County artists. “I used to be her studio assistant,” Raedeke said. “We founded Art East together with the intention that we really wanted to start an Art Center. We wanted to create a tour which would sort of prove our point that there was a lot of talent here. So we started ArtEast in 1996. Then in 1998 started the EAC.” After graduating from SIUE and having a strong interest in the design world, Raedeke obtained a job working for Kiku Obata and Company in St. Louis. “She is the daughter of Gyo Obata who owns HOK, which is the largest architectural design company in the world, but they are based in St. Louis,” Raedeke said. “She has her own firm and does a lot of graphic design and a lot of environmental graphic design – some of their big clients are the Saint Louis Zoo and the Science Center.” While working for Kiku Obata and Company, Raedeke worked on several prominent St. Louis business such as The Pageant, Big Shark Bicycle and the Pin Up Bowl at the Loop - providing interior design services. “It was a good four years of solid design work which I just absolutely loved,”
she said. “I also continued to make art. I always preferred to make art, but I loved having that design element as well.” Raedeke decided at that time to “take some time off to have a baby,” but she continued to dabble in the freelance art world. Four years later, in 2008, a firm in Clayton, Mo., contacted her to be their director of art which involved coordinating artwork for master plans of large public spaces. “I worked from blueprints and decided what was going to go where, and I commissioned custom art (for the spaces),” she said. Raedeke left this position in 2011 and has been freelancing ever since. But the talented artist has also been pursuing a singing career. Just last month, she performed an acoustical evening of songs with guitarist Mike Krysl at The Chapel in St. Louis. Music is a huge part of the art she creates. “Music and art are always intertwined for me,” Raedeke said. “I don’t make art without listening to music.” Her exhibit at the EAC includes pieces that are acrylic paintings on mixed media and graphite drawings. “They have a very print maker quality to them,” Raedeke noted. “I like white space - it’s a print making thing, and for the most part, they are abstract. There’s a couple of whimsical flower images. I like to paint pretty fast and very immediate with lots of color and lots of white space to balance that out. I’m really inspired by music and dance.” To illustrate her point, Raedeke explained that she also did a singing performance a couple of years ago and in an adjacent gallery, she provided a piece of artwork for every song on her set list. She felt her desire to connect music and art was also somehow connected to her having synesthesia. “It’s basically a crossing of the senses,” Raedeke explained. “I didn’t realize I had it. An eye doctor told me. When he’d shine that bright light in my eye, I’d get this
September 12, 2013
really loud sound in my ear.” When she told the eye doctor about the sound, he asked her if she associated colors with days of the week. When she confirmed she did, the doctor told her to look up synesthesia to confirm his theory. A quick Google search confirmed his diagnosis of synesthesia. “This is my life,” Raedeke recalled saying as she read the description. “I have a color for every day of the week, and every number from zero to nine has a color, and it’s always the same. You can ask me 10 years from now or 10 years ago and it will always be the same. It just is. It feels factual. I think it (synesthesia) contributes to my sense of color and the palettes I use in my decision making. I think it helps me to work fast because I don’t ponder. I almost have an intuitive sense of color and what I want to do.” Raedeke said she felt synesthesia also helps her in her interior design freelancing such as the recent J. Blanquart jewelry store in which she provided her interior design services. “I designed that store,” she said. “Looking at the plans before I walked in, I knew immediately what it needed to be and what it needed to feel like.” While Raedeke continues in her freelancing pursuits, the St. Louis resident was excited about the EAC exhibit and the homecoming of sorts. “It’s fun to start showing some things at EAC again” Raedeke said. “It’s nice to participate in this alumni show since I sat on the board and put in about 14 years of time. But I haven’t been doing anything with the EAC since about 2010 because I’ve been busy with my job. I’ve come a little full circle I suppose.” Raedeke’s artwork will be featured in the EAC’s Student Gallery until Oct. 11. The EAC is located on the campus of Edwardsville High School. It is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3. p.m., and is closed Sunday through Tuesday.

The Arts Classic to wrap up record-breaking 27th season By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge
S
tages St. Louis will conclude its 2013 season with one of the best-loved musicals of all time when “My Fair Lady” opens Sept. 6 and runs through Oct. 6 at the Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood. The show marks the perfect end to a record-breaking 27th season for Stages St. Louis, which includes the criticallyacclaimed “Always…Patsy Cline,” “Disney’s Cinderella,” and the bubbly Broadway hit “Legally Blonde.” Hailed by many as the “gold standard” when it comes to musicals, “My Fair Lady” continues to charm and delight audiences with its witty humor, romantic story and beloved score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Memorable songs include “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” and “Get Me to the Church on Time.” Everybody loves a rags to riches Cinderella story and “My Fair Lady” tells it best with its transformation of lowly Covent Garden flower girl Eliza Doolittle
into a proper upper class lady. Eliza owes her sudden good fortune to Professor Henry Higgins, who is determined to teach her how to speak proper English and forget her cockney ways forever. “My Fair Lady” is based on the 1912 play “Pygmalion” by George Bernard Shaw. Shaw’s play premiered in the fall of 1913 in Vienna and later the following spring in New York. More than 35 years later, Lerner and Loewe began the process of adapting Shaw’s play into a musical in 1950. “My Fair Lady” starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison premiered in 1956 on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre. The show closed in 1962 after a record 2,717 performances. The Stages St. Louis production stars Christopher Guilmet as Professor Henry Higgins and Pamela Brumley as Eliza Doolittle. Guilmet returns to Stages, having previously appeared in “The Sound of Music,” “Man of La Mancha,” “Camelot,” and “A Little Night Music.” His numerous New York, L.A., and regional credits include “The Crucible,” “Carousel” and “The Immigrant.” Brumley is another Stages alum, having previously appeared in “Little Women,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie”

and A” Little Night Music.” Among her numerous New York and regional credits, Brumley has previously played Eliza in “My Fair Lady” and appeared in “Camelot,” “Show Boat,” “Beauty and the Beast” and the film “The Perfect Stranger.” Other cast members include: Broadway Actor Edward Juvier as Eliza’s father Alfred P. Doolittle, St. Louis actors John Flack as Colonel Pickering and Zoe Vonder Haar as Mrs. Higgins, Kari Ely as Mrs. Pearce and Brandon Davidson as Freddie Eynsford-Hill. Davidson returns to Stages after recently appearing in “Legally Blonde the Musical.” Stages St. Louis Artistic Director

Dining Delights Portland, Maine's, must-visit eatery By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Go for the lobster. Stay for the duck fat. Because culinary excursionists undoubtedly are drawn to Maine for a taste of the state’s signature crustacean. And they won’t be disappointed. But once you’ve had your fill of butter-drenched claws and tender hunks of lobster tail tucked into hot dog rolls, head to the state’s largest city where there are many — perhaps even too many — great food finds to explore. That’s actually the problem with Portland. For a city of just 66,000 people along the ocean, it seems practically overrun by amazing eateries, from standing room-only bakeries to award-winning highenders. For residents and frequent visitors with the leisure to explore them all, it is a boon. But for those on a tighter schedule, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. So let’s keep it simple. If you have time for just one meal in Portland, make it at Duckfat. Opened in 2005 by the same
team that runs upscale Hugo’s down the street, Duckfat is a sliver of a shop wedged between two other restaurants in an otherwise unremarkable commercial zone. With its low lighting and crowded, high tables and stools, it feels more like a bar. In fact, ambiance is merely... meh. And slightly uncomfortable, at that. None of that matters. The stools could be covered with spikes and it would be worth planting yourself firmly on them just to enjoy Duckfat’s signature dish: handcut Belgian-style french fries made from Maine potatoes and cooked in ... duck fat. Breathtaking doesn’t do them justice. They arrive at the table deliciously salted and heaped upright in a paper cone. You’ll be tempted to get the small, but you’ll regret it if you do. When you order, you’ll have a choice of numerous dipping sauces. They’re probably all fine, but the one you want is the truffle ketchup. Savory, sweet, tangy and hauntingly good. Your best bet is to treat the fries as the main course, then share a few
other dishes as sides. The charred broccoli and goat cheese salad is terrific. And the roasted pork belly panini with manchego and saffron-Tabasco mayo will make your eyes roll back. And despite appearances, Duckfat is family friendly. The little ones will love their handcrafted sodas (try the Roots, Bark, Sticks and Leaves — also known as root beer).
Whether you go for lunch or dinner, chances are you will need to wait for a table (they don’t do reservations). If so, you have the perfect excuse to amble down to Micucci Grocery Co. just a couple blocks away. This old-timey Italian grocer is jammed with fresh breads, olive oils, cured meats, cheeses and plenty of other items to inspire a take-home feast.
After your meal — assuming you have the time and stomach capacity — wander toward the water, where the bulk of the city’s pubs and shops reside. Head for The Gelato Fiasco, which offers roughly 30 flavors (rotated daily out of 100 possibilities) of the chilly Italian treat made from local milk and cane sugar. The brownie batter and fresh cream gelatos are particularly awesome.

Above, a half slab of pork ribs with greens. Below, Homey's Que's and Grill in Terre Haute, Ind.
Homey's Que's and Grill in Terre Haute By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge When the American Legion Post 199 baseball team took me to Terre Haute, Ind., recently for regional tournament action, I was fired up. Yes, I knew I would have the opportunity to watch some pretty good baseball, but I also knew I could stockpile some new eating joints for “You Gotta Eat,” and that’s just what I did. First on my cavalcade of gluttony I visited Homey’s Que’s and Grill. The name and description alone had me drooling in anticipation. Homey’s is a tiny barbecue establishment which is only open for business Thursday through Saturday. According to online forums, it is a staple in Terre Haute and one that former Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Peyton Manning grew to love during his time at training camps at RoseHulman Institute of Technology in town. Now Manning has taken his talents to the Denver Broncos, but Homey’s is still alive and flourishing in Terre Haute. Located at 1100 South 13th St. and College Ave. in Terre Haute, Homey’s is housed in a small, inconspicuous building. When I pulled into the parking lot I quickly noticed two large smokers under a pavilion behind the restaurant and began to get giddy. As I strolled inside there were only two tables, a bench and a small television in the corner and some happy employees behind the counter accepting orders. Takeout is the norm at Homey’s due to the size, so I did just that. I went with a half slab of pork ribs and a small side of greens, which were accompanied with bread and a can
24
of soda. While waiting for my meal to be prepared I turned to the walls at Homey’s which were adorned with pictures of famous patrons. Manning earned his spot on the wall several times. Others were: former Colts’ tight end Dallas Clark and former Ohio State and NBA basketball player Greg Oden, among a slew of others that I didn’t recognize. While perusing the photos I was quickly paged to pick up my meal.
On the Edge of the Weekend
It was served in a Styrofoam box with plastic utensils. This might sound silly to some, but the whole presentation had me ecstatic to dig in. There’s something about the down-home aura I got that made me believe I’d discovered a real treasure. I got in my car and raced back to the hotel to test things out. Sadly, I was underwhelmed. The ribs, which were boasted about online, were kind of tough
September 12, 2013
and dried out. They were swimming in sauce, which was sweet and good, but it was practically too much. The meat did fall off the bone easily, but trying to chew through it was a chore as some bites almost took on the consistency of jerky. Then I turned my attention to the greens. Greens refer to leaf vegetables, low in fat and calories but high in protein. They are good for you and good tasting, especially when prepared soul food style.
That’s exactly what I was expecting, the soul food style of greens which are often cooked with a little pork and seasoning for a nice kick. These greens were just simply spinach in a vinegar sauce. They were fresh and tender and were slightly spiced to offer a tiny tingle to the palate, but weren’t much different than just opening a can of spinach from the grocery store. It wasn’t the worst meal I’ve ever eaten, but it far underachieved my expectations. Maybe it was that I expected too much after the overall presentation was so fantastic. I went with the ribs because they were the most discussed item in online reviews, but there were plenty of other options. There are beef tips available, a whole chicken, half a chicken, fried fish, fried chicken breasts, wings and legs. There were also sandwich options like shredded pork, shredded beef, a rib-on-the-bone sandwich, a pork loin sandwich and hot dogs. Sides included cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and potato wedges besides the greens. Price wise you couldn’t scoff at Homey’s. My meal was right around $13 but had enough food for two people easily. I wasn’t able to finish it. If you wanted to eat real cheap, you could order a hot dog, an order of potato wedges and a canned soda and eat for around $4. I’m sure there are other items on Homey’s menu that could have met my expectations, or at least have done a better job at coming close. Maybe I would give it another shot if I was back in Terre Haute. After all, the presentation is outstanding. It just didn’t quite live up to the hype.
