live local, live small: The brewpub edition by: gwenyfar rohler
“W
hen are you going to tour local brew pubs for encore?” Jock dropped his not-so-well concealed hint ... yet again. With the mushroom effect of new breweries appearing in the area in the last couple of years, it seemed a pertinent Live Local story. There were only a couple of small problems: 1) I needed an official taste-tester, because I have never actually finished an entire pint of beer in my life; and 2) like many busy couples, it can be hard for us to make time to do things. Jock very generously volunteered his 50plus years of experience drinking beer to provide a framework for my column (which also would allow me to remember some of the evening—and, when combined with a tape recorder, it gave me a fighting chance of writing something about it, “In the name of journalism, you understand,” he made sure to clarify. Scheduling just gets away from us: Jock is always in and out of the country; I have myriad bookstore, theatre and encore obligations. By the time we get finished with all of them, another week has gone by with no brewpub tour. “I think you need to make it a priority—this week. I mean, you don’t want to disappoint your editor, do you?” Jock asked innocently a few weeks ago. So, with a little advance planning, we sallied forth one Monday evening to find out more about the brew pub phenomenon in Wilmington. Though there are currently breweries in Carolina Beach, Southport and the central part and north parts of Wilmington, for safety purposes, we focused downtown so we could walk point to point. (If we get organized and find transportation, we will try to hit all the other breweries, too.) Three locations and 17 beers is a lot for two old fogies in one night. I remember all the excitement behind the large pieces of plywood that blocked the entrance to 9 Front Street in 1994—and then the amazing reveal when the plywood came down and the beautiful front windows were filled with copper brewing tanks. Front Street Brewery immediately became a buzz of activity downtown. Even my parents, who were not social creatures, wanted to make a pilgrimage to try the beer sampler. Since Front Street Brewry is the flagship that got all the excitement growing here, it seemed a fitting place to start.

“Of course, the first beer of the evening is the one you like the best,” Jock joked, as the bartender set down a tray with five sample glasses
of beer in front of us. Even on a Monday night, Front Street Brewery was packed: We could barely hear the bartender as she moved her finger in a guiding direction of a “Z” along the tray to correlate with the lamented information sheet: “German classic from Cologne…” I began to read the description of the Kolsch aloud as Jock sipped the first beer. Around us activity swelled: Waitstaff rushed past, the kitchen clanged, and more people entered, looking for seats. It reminded me of the comment in “The Great Gatsby,” about finding intimacy at big parties. I had to lean in close to Jock for him to hear me, and we were in a bubble of the two of us, the tape recorder and five small glasses of beer. The Dram Tree Scottish Ale was my favorite, though I happily finished the Raspberry Wheat after Jock made a face trying to swallow it. Fruity beers are not his thing. The Kolsch was the clear winner for him, but he added, “It’s who you drink with that makes the beer taste good.” We headed over to Ironclad Brewery on Second Street for part two of our endeavor. The beautiful, recently renovated, former automotive building has 10,000 square feet of space and four bars on two floors. We claimed a spot at the first bar near the door and watched an event wind up at the far end of the room. People wandered out and held an assortment of items; my favorite was a chaffing dish. There’s never a dull moment in downtown Wilmington. “This is an American Style IPA; we add orange peel to it…” Ethan Hall, head brewer at Ironclad, introduced each of the beers to me. Jock had “stepped out to the heads” and left me to order. After chatting with Ethan, it seemed irresistible not to try every beer, so I got one of everything—10 in all. Lagers, stouts, chocolate, IPAs—it was a beautiful sight to behold, all lined up, carefully on the placemat next to each name. We added to the list of beer Jock doesn’t like: pumpkin ale. By the time we got to that one, he had enough beer in him to wax poetic on the subject of unfair treatment of squash and other well-meaning vegetables. “Pumpkin abuse, I tell you!” he pointedly remarked. Mind you, he also insulted Ethan at this point over a distaste for fruit-flavored beer. But the IPAs and stouts kept him happy. The Teach’s Chocolate Stout by far was my favorite (what a great idea: combining chocolate and beer). Ethan took his time with us, carefully walking us through each stage of the process for developing each beer. It was like talking with an uncle about his favorite hobby: His knowledge and patience were both limitless, and his pride in his work was visible (and palatable!). Jock regaled people with the standard film technician hobby: “Stories of famous people I have drunk beer with in harrowing circumstances...” On my right, two charming gentlemen made the mistake of letting me talk about two topics upon which I can wax poetic: film incentives
and Shakespeare. (Luckily for them, I had yet to see Cumberbatch’s “Hamlet,” or they would have been cornered until closing time). Out of 10 beers, we divvied up the glasses and no beer was wasted—all of it was wonderful and hit the spot on an autumn evening. But we had one more stop to make: Flytrap Brewing on North Fourth Street. A lot of friends have chatted about it, but we just hadn’t had the chance to make it into the door. So, it was nice to be greeted by one of my favorite literati, Zach Tooman, behind the bar. I mean, anyone who has David Foster Wallace tattoos and is willing to endure me rambling about Steinbeck after three shots of whisky, has to be a favorite, right? If you haven’t met Zach, he is truly a lovely person who can endure a lot of craziness with a smile. He also is very proud of what Flytrap is doing—you can hear it in his voice. When I asked for a sampler, he hemmed a bit and answered that they were down to two beers brewed in house. “It’s like 14 hours of work to produce one keg of beer,” he pointed out. That very weekend would be their one-year anniversary and the brewer/owner, Mike Barlas, was staying busy by getting beer ready for their huge party. Consequently, he gave us two beers to try: a Rehder’s Red and a Saison. Unlike our previous two stops Flytrap is not trying to provide a broad range of beers. They specialize in Belgian-influenced beers and they are perfecting the craft in an Old World style. The Rehder’s Red was the winner for Jock—though I liked the lightness of the saison. “Named for Henry?” I asked about the Red. “Stanley,” Zach answered. Flytrap named their brewery after the local known as “The Flytrap Man.” Rehder was a local horticulturist who cultivated locally indigineous flesh-eating plants, and helped pass legislation for their protection. Barlas has donated a portion of the proceeds of the Red Rehder to the NC Coastal Land Trust. Of course, my book mind just went to “Growing a Beautiful Garden” by Henry Rehder, a book I shelve about once a month. Jock rambled about something involving light opera, and I knew he was comfortably drunk. Zach filled us in on the beer-making process and pointed out they were producing in small batches, so they were not able to sell growlers. “None of it is walking out of this room,” he grinned. It’s great to see people so pleased. “Will you take me home?” Jock asked. “Mmmmmm...” I considered. “Will you let me have my way with you?” He gave it serious thought before nodding ascent and asked, “So which beer was your favorite?” “You know, sweetheart, you were right. You can taste the difference in micro-brewed beer, but the best ingredient is who you share it with.”

lard’s stomach), Wollard had declined a plea offer of probation and gone to trial, where he lost and faced a law written with a 20year minimum sentence. Florida has since amended the law to give judges discretion about the crime and the sentence, but Gov. Rick Scott and the state’s clemency board have refused to help Wollard, who must serve 13 more years for a crime he perhaps would not even be charged with today.
Inexplicable
Bright Ideas
Unapparent Problem, Solved: Vladimir Laurent (an insurance executive in Coral Springs, Florida) received his U.S. patent on Sept. 29 and can proceed mass-producing “The Shield” — his brainstorm to keep men’s genitalia from dragging on the inside of toilet bowls while they’re seated. Laurent told the South Florida Business Journal that his device was something he “needed, personally” (though he’s aware that not all males experience the sensation). The Shield is basically a cup attached to the bowl by suction that allows movement via a ball-and-socket joint.
Latest Human Rights
Kentucky’s government ethics law bars gifts from lobbyists to legislators, but state Sen. John Schickel filed a federal lawsuit in September claiming that he has a consti-
tutional (First Amendment) right to receive them. (The laws were passed after the FBI found several Kentucky politicians selling their votes.) And in May, officials of the American Gaming (gambling) Association and the Association of Club Executives complained to the Pentagon that a threatened prohibition of the use of government credit cards at casinos and strip clubs violated card users’ constitutional rights, in that protected activities (such as business strategy meetings) take place at those venues.
Can’t Possibly Be True
Florida Justice: Orville “Lee” Wollard, now 60, was convicted of aggravated assault in 2008 after he fired one “warning shot” into a wall of his home during an argument with his daughter’s boyfriend. Believing his shot defused a dangerous situation (the boyfriend had once angrily ripped sutures from Wol-
Christopher Hiscock, 33, got only a year’s probation after his guilty plea for trespassing on a ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, in September — because it was a trespass with panache. Since no one had been home, Hiscock fed the cats, prepared a meal, shaved and showered, took meat out of the freezer to thaw, made some coffee, started a fire in the fireplace, did some laundry, put out hay for the horses, and even wrote some touchingly personal notes in the resident’s diary (“Today was my first full day at the ranch.” “I have to remind myself to just relax and take my time.”) In court, he apologized. “I made a lot of mistakes.” “Beautiful ranch. Gorgeous. I was driving (by) and I just turned in. Beautiful place.”
New! Amazing! Awesome!
Low-benefit (but Internet-connected!) devices now on sale (from February MacLife magazine): HAPIfork (Bluetooth-connected, alerts you if you’re eating too fast); iKettle (heat water at different temperatures for different drinks, controlled by phone); an LG washing machine that lets you start washing while away (provided, of course, that you’ve already loaded the washer); Kolibree “smart toothbrush” (tracks and graphs “brushing habits”). Also highlighted was the Satis “smart toilet,” which remotely flushes, raises and lowers the seat, and engages the bidet — features MacLife touts mainly as good for “terrorizing guests.”
The Job of the Researcher
Scientists have somehow determined that rats dream about where they want to go in the future. Dr. Hugo Spiers of University College London (and colleagues) inferred as much in a recent eLife article based on how neurons in the rodent brain’s hippocampus
fire up in certain patterns. They discovered similar patterns when a rat is asleep just before conquering a food “maze” as when he awakens and actually gets to the food (as if it plotted by dream). (Buried Lede: Rats have dreams.)
Latest Religious Messages
The Power of Prayer: (1) Two men with handguns walked through an open door of a Philadelphia home in July and demanded drugs and cash from the three women inside, threatening pistol-whippings. According to a Philly.com report, a 55-year-old woman in the home immediately burst into loud prayer, causing the gunmen to flee emptyhanded. (2) Police in Bellevue, Ohio, initially believed that texting behind the wheel was what caused Marilyn Perry, 62, to crash and badly injure another driver. However, in July, she and her lawyer convinced a judge that she was “looking down” as she drove only because she was praying over “personal problems.”
Least Competent Criminals
Paul Neaverson, 61, was convicted in September in England’s Maidstone Crown Court for a robbery his own lawyer called “ridiculous.” He had gone to a NatWest bank in Rainham, pointed a knife at a cashier, and demanded that money be placed “on the table” or “into his account” at NatWest, according to the police report. Earlier, he had walked out of an HSBC bank when the teller balked at his robbery demand. He was sentenced to two years in prison.
People With Issues
(1) Miami-Dade (Florida) police arrested Eddy Juan, 52, two weeks after someone matching his description was reported at a library at Florida International University, crawling under tables and sniffing women’s feet. He was charged with violating a previous sex-offender registration order. (2) In what was originally a domestic disturbance case, Britain’s Cambridge Magistrates’ Court handed Nelson Nazare, 45, a six-week suspended sentence in September — for the photo on his seized cellphone of a man having sex with a large fish (plus two womandog sex photos).

REFLECTIVE PERIOD: ALO look back, push forward and still play for their fans by: shannon rae gentry

REFLECTIVE: ALO returns to Wilmington with Yojimbo on Friday, Oct. 23, at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater (1941 Amphitheatre Dr.). Photo by JayBlakesberg
usicians at all stages in their careers tend to write what they know. Maybe in youth and early on, it’s blind creative energy and drive that powers some. Sooner or later, though, there’s a time for reflection; maybe on the journey, the trials and tribulations of life, or maybe just growing up. Animal Liberation Orchestra, better known as ALO, are in that reflective period with a new album and East Coast tour that will bring them to Greenfield Lake on Friday, Oct. 23. The four men of ALO have (in a literal sense) grown up together. Founding members Zach Gill (keys/vocals), Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz (guitar/vocals) and Steve Adams (bass/vocals) met in high school. Lebowitz and Adams played together as early as seventh grade. It was only a couple of years after forming that they brought on a new drummer (and friend of
Adams), Dave Brogan. “It’s funny, even though we’ve played with Dave for 13 years, I think he still feels like the ‘new guy,’” Adams says with a laugh. “It really doesn’t matter too much to us at this point . . . and he’s a great writer and contributor.” These last couple of years took the band members in various directions and side projects. Gill toured with their longtime friend Jack Johnson, and the rest of ALO followed suit. Lebowitz played with the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh. Brogan joined up with Utah band, Mokie. Adams toured and recorded with Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers for last six years. “I’ve always liked the side-band role; it’s fun to support other people’s music yet bring what you know to it,” Adams says. “I think those breaks actually let us

come back together more stronger and confident each time.” It was always their intention to gather again to produce another record. They did just that in 2015 with “Tangle Of Time” coming out on October 2. It’s the fifth album with Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records. While Zach Gill penned most ALO songs, all four members have taken turns writing and jamming before recording. For this record they had a brief window to work with. “We really didn’t have that much time to prepare for it like we have for other records,” he tells. “This record we just kind of all shot each other our songs, and everyone tried to realize their songs as far as they could, in terms of how the parts were going to be and how it would be arranged.” By the time they started recording “Tan-
gle Of Time,” the band essentially went down the list of their favorite songs and got through 11 pretty quick. “It was almost a round-robin of sorts,” Adams continues. “So this record’s cool. There’s a few more songs by each of the guys. I brought two in, and once we got in there we realized that most of the songs were about time and that’s how we came up with the title.” The songs focus a lot on reflection and perspective, as they’ve all officially entered their 40s. “We’re all moving through the years and maybe feel a little older, and a lot of the songs address that a little bit,” Adams details. “I think that’s what makes this record stand out from the other ones as well, because it’s acknowledging where we are in our lives. Whereas in the past, a little more of our youth would fill in the inspiration and try to come up with clever ideas.”
When the band started almost 20 years ago, Adams didn’t necessarily envision what it would be like to hit the milestones he muses over now—getting on the radio, “I wrote it when my 2007 Subaru was touring, seeing his band’s CD in a store. always in the shop, and I was having one Still, he knew he wanted it to happen. of those days where the ‘check engine’ “I always hoped that it would to manlight came on, and I was thinking it was age to keep us going, and I wanted this a metaphor for getting old in general,” he band to get some sort of record deal, details. “Wanting to keep it alive, not turn- even though I really didn’t know what that ing it yet because it’s still a good car. My meant; I thought that was an important ears would ring from a gig, and I wasn’t step,” he says. “So when that happened wearing my glasses, so my vision was a 10 years ago I was really stoked, and at little blurry, and I was like, ‘Oh my , God, that point we just kinda say ‘OK, we got my check engine light’s on!’” the record deal, now what?’” While writing for themselves and about The music industry can be like the Wild their own experiences, “Tangle Of Time” West: Anything goes and nothing is guaris also acknowledging fans from the ‘90s anteed.

Adams thinks “Tangle Of Time” can speak to everyone, and it’s common for their band’s shows to transcend generational gaps. They play the college circuit, frequently open for Dave Matthews Band, and hop from festival to festival.

Artist John Fennell has a similar process. He starts his work with large blocks of primary colors, reminiscent of Matisse’s famous cut-outs. To make the colors pop, Fennell usually coats his pieces—composed of latex paints—with a layer of gloss.
culptor Michael Van Hout prefers to work under the wire, quite literally. The artist works stealthily beneath hanging wire sculptures in his studio at Acme Art, making last-minute tweaks to his newest foray: galimotos. Traditionally, the whimsical push-toys are of African origin. Children fashion the playthings from sticks, wire and fabric. Similarly, Van Hout uses annealed wire to craft sea creatures and seabirds. He mechanizes their fins and wings so their wheels turn, and it looks as if the sculptures are swimming or flying. Opening at Acme on Friday, art-goers will have the opportunity to test out the toys for themselves using ramps Van Hout plans to fashion between each pedestal.
Fennell arrived at latex as his medium of choice interestingly. Call it familiarity. As the former chair of the fine arts department at Cape Fear Community College and a lifelong teacher of the arts, Fennell unknowingly began his career in the visual arts by painting set after set for school plays. Cans of latex paint, he says, always had a way of making it back to the paint store. While the colors may not have been right for a customer’s living room walls, the free paint always seemed right for Fennell’s sets.
“It’s such a simple idea,” he explains. “The mechanism and materials behind galimotos lend well to my sculptures and love of creatures.” Anyone acquainted with his work will see his clear muse. The artist is known for largerthan-life installations, like his shimmering fish at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher or the wireframe giraffe at Greenfield Lake Park. Most recently, Van Hout has been moving toward more dynamic sculptures. It started with his series of hanging mobiles, and a bicycle-powered project in progress for DREAMS Center for Arts Education. At DREAMS Van Hout serves as a teaching artist and teaches arts education free of charge to Wilmington youth in need. His galimotos series piques his curiosity of the kinetic. Sea turtles, sanderlings, flamingos, seahorses, a manta ray, and even a small school of fish move whimsically up and down, back and forth, as the artist demonstrates how the gadgets work. “You know, the idea for this show is one that has been gestating for a few years,” says Van Hout, who actually received his first galimoto about 10 years ago. The 20-plus year Acme denizen invited two local artists, Trey Moore and John Fennell, to showcase work alongside his own. Fennell first met Van Hout when he was a student in Van Hout’s wire class at the Cameron Art Museum. Van Hout happened upon Moore’s work at nearby Folks Café. While Fennell and Moore prefer flatter mediums, like canvas and paper, their playful colors and subjects show well next to Van Hout’s waist-high sculptures. “The work really

In the midst of assorted headline-making theatre news (CFCC’s Humanities and Fine Arts Center opening, a la the Cape Fear Stage; UNCW transforming its arts administration; Dram Tree Shakespeare losing its artistic director after their inaugural show, etc.), the renovation of the Thalian Hall Studio Theatre to the Ruth and Bucky Stein Theatre— primarily used for showing films—sort of flew under the radar. Aside from the massive overhaul of the Main Stage, the smaller, formerly black-box theatre, has been converted to have stadium-style seating (complete with cup holders). Initially I thought that losing the flexibility of the black box space—which can be configured infinitely to meet production concepts—would reduce the performance space artistically. I have to say, between the recent production of “Box and Cox” by John Madsen and the current showing of Ernest Thompson’s “On Golden Pond,” I retract my

earlier qualms. Designer Gary Ralph Smith created a really beautiful world for “On Golden Pond,” complete with wood and glimpses of the pond (utilizing what appears to be Fritzi Huber’s paper craft skills) that is dynamic and interesting. “On Golden Pond” is Thompson’s claim to fame. It opened on Broadway in 1979 and was made into a film with the Fondas and Katherine Hepburn the following year. Set in the early 1980s at a vacation spot in rural Maine, “On Golden Pond” follows the tried and true trope of gathering a family in a house haunted by ghosts of the past—and letting them fight it out. Norman (Tony Rivenbark) and Ethel Thayer (Suellen Yates) have been married for around half a century—long enough to have an adult daughter and to battle the minor daily battles of aging: memory loss, reduced range of motion, fear of falling, etc. Norman is staring one major gripe with aging square in the face: He is no longer relevant. Retired and honestly not employable, he doesn’t handle any decisions in his daily life, friends no longer seek him out, and only his wife (barely) tolerates him. Enter his adult daughter, Chelsea (Rachel Lewis Hilburn), who is still nursing a grudge from an imperfect childhood. Somehow she manages to let it control her life in her mid40s. She materializes with her current boyfriend, a dentist named Bill Ray, played by real-life dentist Donald Bland, and his 13 year old son, Billy Ray Jr. (Aidan Malone). Commence catharsis countdown in five, four, three, two…

Rivenbark’s Thayer basically is a jokester whose humor is understood by an audience he can’t see. Charlie the mailman (George Domby) is essentially a sweet, nice guy without much experience beyond this small community. Yet, he senses, somehow, he is the butt of Norman’s jokes. Still, he’s either too polite and kind, or too uncertain, to say anything. It is not that Norman is actually that caustic, it is just that he has a brand of humor expected and accepted for men of his generation. Unfortunately, for Norman (and the many men like him wandering around in the real world), no one, except their wives, would put up with it anymore. It was never funny; it was just aimed at making certain that everyone in the room knew he was top dog. Neither he (nor his ilk) have been for many moons. It is a tough and terrible adjustment. For Norman, there is still an audience that quavers
and makes him center stage: his daughter, Chelsea. With her, every zinger hits home— except he doesn’t actually mean them to be zingers. Norman’s just trying to make conversation the only way he knows how. Rivenbark’s sense of comic timing is lovely. The couple next to me just couldn’t get enough of him. His interactions with Yates were pitch perfect as a long married couple who have in many ways become two sides of one coin. Aiden Malone did manage to steal the hearts of the women in the audience with his rendition of a disaffected youth-turnedeveryone’s favorite grandson. Director Judy Greenhut did a great job of keeping him in motion and using his space to create physical comedy. That’s not a surprise; Greenhut is a gifted choreographer and thinks in movement the way painters think in image. She is also a wonderful teacher and works really well with helping young people learn their craft is just as much about their body in space as it is their motivation emotionally or mentally. It’s nice to see a family drama without trying to resolve issues of abuse and incest in two hours or less. But taking Chelsea’s struggle seriously is a bit much: I could never be good enough. OK, Chelsea, you are 45; get over it and get on with your life. I just wanted to shake her. Lewis Hilburn is a beautiful woman; therefore, her Chelsea is attractive. Chelsea is also accomplished, connected, charming, and capable of great joy and heartfelt desire. If anything, Lewis Hilburn’s rendition reminds us that many of us are doing better than we give ourselves credit for and we need to stop whining. For the audience this series is aimed at: It’s a perfect choice. There is nothing challenging, edgy or frightening about the script. It is as vanilla as it gets. What makes it worth seeing is not the writing (which is predictable and derivative), but the spot-on cast and the wonderful design elements. It is a lovely evening out at the theater and a chance to see some of our local luminaries working at a very high caliber.

WARPED BY BEER PONG:
‘Rocky Horror’ reaches new audience with modernized version
I
by: SHEA CARVER
’ve seen “The Rocky Horror Show” more times than I can count. In Wilmington, I’ve seen it every time City Stage has hosted it (I believe that’s around five, eight, 10 ... I lost count). That it’s the 40th anniversary of the film version of the cult-classic—which starred a doughy-eyed Susan Sarandon who had pneumonia on set, nonetheless—it’s no surprise that once again those creative ghouls at City Stage Co. would bring it back as their opener to the 2015-2016 season, right in time for Halloween. Yet, director Nick Gray flipped the glitz and glam of the show in a way I can honestly say I’ve never seen done with “Rocky Horror.” He chose to set it up as a frat party, complete with beer pong, togas, The Whip and Nae Nae, and songs revamped with the help of the cast banging on a few Solo cups. So, the main question everyone wants to know: Does it work? Well, the answer’s not so simple. Virgins—the loving term we give to all who’ve never had a “Rocky Horror” experience—will have a lot of fun regardless of the show’s extreme modernized update. How do I know? Well, I took one along with me to test it out and ran into another later in the week to ask. They both gushed over the hilarity of drunk college students onstage humping each other, making sex jokes, impersonating characters apparently out of ‘90s sitcoms (here’s looking at you, Zach Morris—err, I mean Rocky), and dancing like fools to beats the DJ interjects into the “Time Warp.” Gray included into the show today’s requisite new age, acronymic talk (WTF, OMG) as signs illuminating our narrator’s thoughts on what was unfolding. His modernized version most certainly reaches a new generation of theater-goers. On opening night the 100-plus-seat auditorium was packed—and with a ton of college-aged students. More so, almost everyone onstage in the ensemble were barely of drinking age. I have never seen so many new faces taking over the City Stage theater. In my opinion, that in itself is a massive win. Now, for the purists: Brace yourself. Quite frankly, I didn’t even realize how much of a purist I was until seeing this version. Is the show fun? Sure. Will laughter be ever so apparent? Absolutely. But does it make sense in a way that only “The Rocky Horror Show” can make sense? No. Way. First off, this version is disjointed. Richard O’Brien wrote “The Rocky Horror Show” musical in 1973, and debuted it on the big screen as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in 1975. O’Brien’s deep love of comic books, sci-fi and horror flicks
became apparent in this misfit little script. Its otherworldly leanings (a transvestite doctor from another planet creates a boy toy of a hunk in a castle where his minions live and fuck and drink and party) mesh to near perfection, with over-the-top rock ‘n’ roll (“Sweet Transvestite”) that gallops across ‘50s pop rock, ‘60s psychedelia and ‘70s glam rock. In fact, “Rocky Horror” is totally built on a glam-rock aesthetic (hello, sequins, leather, lace, and lots of stiletto boots), much like that of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust (in fact, some say he was the inspiration for the Frank N Furter character). When stripping the show bare to plain white togas and a set design draped in sheets— with the exception of one impressive car made of Solo cups—it feels less powerful. Less magnetic. Less weird. Less otherworldly. Less revealing. The only character truly matching the script’s zany vibe is Dr. Frank N Furter, played by a wowing Jesse Gephart. Gephart is a larger-than-life figure onstage, owning every syllable enunciated from his overly painted lips. He walked the walk, talked the talk and had the audience eating every word from his mouth. He embodied power, yet also empathy as seen during his fall from grace.
minion—a beefy dude who can down a beer and make a quip in 2 seconds flat, while unsnapping a chick’s bra simultaneously. He’s far from the creepy, hunchback, oddball that O’Brien originally wrote (and played in the movie) as Riff Raff. Mercier does a good job winning laughs from the audience as the resident tool, but he misses the futuristic appeal the character needs in order to carry the script to success in its final moments. The same can be said for his sister, Magenta, who’s usually played with an exotic touch. She’s often foreign, but here Becka gives her a Valley Girl/mean-girl vibe; it works for Gray’s vision. Fetherolf as Columbia foregoes sequins, a top hat and tap shoes for cut-off shorts, a ripped crop top, a long, wavy side pony tail, and black-lined lips that speak a thick Long Island accent. Her “oh, no she didn’t” voice can only be matched by her massive finger pointing through every line. Fetherolf commits and certainly makes this version of Columbia believable. But Columbia’s one of the minions first to turn on Frank N Furter, which creates a bit of tension in the script. It shows us how the transvestite loses his power. That tension is not played up here, and so Co-
lumbia’s importance falls a little flat. Essentially, each minion or ensemble character embodies someone we wish we didn’t know from our own planet rather than weirdos we want to voyeuristically spy on, maybe even be. The music, directed by Judson Hurd, is good for the most part; although, on opening night, the show was plagued by sound issues. This usually can be forgiven but they were never fixed. Therefore, many lines were lost, and a lot of vivacity that carries the songs only sort of piqued. Nothing can “sort of” be in “Rocky Horror”; it’s go big, or go home. All in all, I’d say the main gripe with trying to re-envision this show is that when it’s taken so far out of its element aesthetically, it loses moxie. In this case, it’s warped to normality— and out of time.

His silver hot pants and crop top, complete with a bright yellow banana around his junk, was a costume of perfection. I just wish its “reveal” was more va-va-voom! It tipped its hat in homage to Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory, accented by the Velvet Underground and Nico’s famed banana album art work. Just imagine that for a minute. Now, pair Lou Reed, David Bowie and Andy Warhol hanging with a bunch of John Belushis from “Animal House.” Suddenly, the Silver Factory just got less cool. Gephart never waned in erotic hipness, but I didn’t believe for once he would surround himself with toga-wearing college kids who dance to “Uptown Funk” instead of “Run, Run, Run” or “Queen Bitch.” Rachael Sutton as Janet stuns, too. She’s Frank N Furter’s polar opposite in hedonism and instead embodies reticence. Her tough grip on inhibition seeps from her pores at every turn, and it paints Janet the goody two-shoes we need her to be. Sutton’s so adorable to watch onstage, as she physically and mentally wrestles with the peer pressure of sexual exploration. When she lets loose, there’s a wildness to it that’s primal and speaks to the script. Joe Basquill as Brad is acceptably sweet, but not quite as nerdy as he is written. Basquill gives it his all to be seen and heard, but most of the time he is overshadowed by the minions surrounding him: Riff Raff (Brad Mercier), Magenta (Caitlyn Becka) and Columbia (Alyssa Fetherolf). Mercier literally wears a John Belushi T-shirt to distinguish him the “frat president”—err, head

ARTFUL CINEMA:

‘The Walk’ delivers tension with superb special effects
L
Thalian Hall, 310 Chestnut St.
by: Anghus
$8-$10, 7pm • www.thalianhall.org
Oct. 26-28 (additional showing on Oct. 28, 4 p.m.): “A teenager facing an unplanned pregnancy seeks help from her acerbic grandmother, a woman who is long estranged from her daughter. Starring Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, Marcia Gay Harden, Laverne Cox, and Elizabeth Pena. (79 minutes, R)
ast week to wrap up my review for Ridley Scott’s exceptional “The Martian,” I wrote:
“This is top-quality cinema and should be a ‘must see’ for anyone who believes that there is still room for growth in big budget filmmaking.” “The Walk” is further proof there are still movies that exist to be seen in a theater—movies that take maximum benefit of a massive screen and an eardrum-rattling sound system. “The Walk” is a relatively small story that ascends to breathtaking heights. It’s easily the most enthralling experience I’ve had at the movies this year. Some of you might be familiar with the story of Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon Levitt), an artist and performer who dreamed of wire-walking between the two towers of the World Trade Center. The story made worldwide news in 1974 and eventually was made into successful documentary a few years back, “Man on Wire.” I wondered if this story was interesting enough to hold an audience’s attention for a two-hour movie. It really is—surprisingly so. Much like Ridley Scott and “The Martian,” director Robert Zemeckis (“Flight,” “Cast Away”) is a master of crafting a crowd-pleasing feature. However, over the last 10 years, he’s kind of become lost in a computer-generated sea of special effectsdriven dreck, like “Polar Express,” “Beowulf” and “A Christmas Carol.” Fortunately he’s returned to more mortal pursuits, and “The Walk” is a beautiful balancing act showcasing drama, comedy and thrills. We meet Philippe atop the Statue of Liberty as he narrates the story of how he became obsessed with the idea of staging his “coup.” His youth is spent as a street performer in Paris, where he perfects the art of wire-walking and charms audiences with magic, juggling and mime-like shenanigans. While visiting a dentist’s office, he sees a story about the World Trade Center’s construction—and his obsession is born. The first half of “The Walk” is the kind of earnest, unapologetic character drama with which some might struggle. Joseph Gordon Levitt’s performance is more hyperactive instead of exuberant; it easily could be described as “cloying.” He’s doing his best to channel the real Phillipe

Petit, who is quite a character. I found the performance oddly theatrical and eventually quite engaging. He mixes an irksome smirk and a pea-soup-thick French accent into a strange stew. Throughout the first half of the film, we get brief glimpses of Phillip’s early years: his strained relationship with his family, the education in wire-walking he gets from an aged mentor (Ben Kingsley), and meet some of the people who would eventually become his accomplices. All of it is good, but the first half of the movie never quite gets to great. It’s the second half that elevates it into the “must see” category. Once Philippe’s plan kicks into high gear, the film becomes something unique. It’s an amazing combination of thriller-like tension and breathtaking beauty. The last 40 minutes of “The Walk” is a visual masterpiece that’s difficult to capture on the written page. Zemeckis always has been fascinated with special effects. With “The Walk” he raised the bar to create a visual spectacle that makes the most out of the big-screen experience. When Phillipe first steps out onto the wire, I felt the anxiety, thanks to pristine visuals and technology that provides an infinite level of fo us between the foreground and the background. While I don’t have a fear of heights, I know the anxiety of looking down on tall buildings, like the World Trade Center, Empire State Building, and the Eiffel Tower. There’s the same sense of disorientation in the film. The anxious feeling resurfaces. Zemeckis not only recreates the
event, but uses technology to add an extra level of tension. “The Walk” generates thrills that so few films are ever able to achieve. It isn’t just a movie that should be seen on the big screen but one meant to be seen as a cinematic experience. This is a reason to plunk down $16 and strap on those IMAX glasses. For my money, “The Walk” was the most entertaining two hours I spent at the cinema in 2015. Indeed, it’s intended for its medium: the theater. It’s as much an art exhibition as it is a motion picture.

EMPOWERING HEALTH CARE: Planned Parenthood hosts another fundraiser based on bygone era
by: Shannon Rae Gentry
BACK TO THE FUTURE: Joyce Mitchell-Antoine and Amada Starkey attemd last year’s 1940s-themed Planned Parenthood fundraiser at the USS Battleship North Carolina. Courtesy photo
W
omen’s health care is again one of the most heated and politicized issues in the United States, especially leading up to the 2016 election year. Specifically, contraception and abortion rights has managed to stir controversy for more than 100 years. No organization knows this better than Planned Parenthood (PP). The first birth control clinic opened by Margaret Sanger in 1916 led to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood of today, as well as many decades of legislation that sparked ongoing controversy and polarization. In 1965 the Supreme Court struck down the Connecticut state law that prohibited using contraception—which also meant contra-
ceptives were legal. In 1970 Nixon signed Title X into law to provide federal funding for family planning services. Then there was 1973’s Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, a key for abortion rights. What started as a focus on contraception— providing it and simply (and legally) talking about it—turned into a national and global women’s health-care provider and advocate for almost a century. One in five women will go to a PP at some point in life, whether for an STD screening, annual preventive care, abortion, or other family-planning services. In its 2013 to 2014 annual review, Planned Parenthood reported teen pregnancy rates at their lowest in 20 years. They also funded more than 70 research projects in long-acting
32 encore | october 21 – 27, 2015 | www.encorepub.com
reversible contraceptives and HPV vaccines. Plus, they provided 487,000 breast exams. While Planned Parenthood serves millions annually, the Wilmington center cared for more than 1,500 people from February 23 to October 14 alone. “Planned Parenthood in South Atlantic serves about 25,000 patients in North Carolina,” says its media specialist Sarah Eldred. Despite the numbers and positive outcomes, each generation of progress is met with some opposition. Just after Sanger opened her first clinic in Brooklyn, an undercover police posed as a mother who couldn’t afford to have more children. Sanger sold her a pamphlet about contraception and STDs, and was arrested. In the 1950s and 1960s
PP was accused of establishing more clinics in poor, black neighborhoods than white ones. They were also accused of coercing young women into birth-control choices they objected to. The most recent allegations in 2015 were that Planned Parenthood profited from abortions and illegally selling fetal tissue. These allegations were based on videos that were recorded—and believed to be doctored—by anti-abortionists. Ultimately, this led to the organization’s decision to no longer accept any reimbursement at health centers involved in fetal-tissue research. Nevertheless, the health-care centers remain trustworthy places for women and families to seek help. “Recent polling [NBC News/
Wall Street Journal] has shown that Planned Parenthood is more popular than any political candidate running for president right now,” Eldred says. “That’s no surprise given the thousands of patients we help every year just here in North Carolina.” Yet, our state senate voted 41-3 in September for a provision in the state budget to ban the selling of body parts and donation of fetal remains for medical research, except in the case of natural miscarriages. The bill’s sponsor, Wake County Republican Sen. Chad Barefoot, directly sites the videos in an interview with the News & Observer. Still, patients seek out Planned Parenthood not only for its high-quality services but its nonjudgmental care. Across the nation and locally, there actually has been an increase in not only monetary donations, but people volunteering, calling legislators and standing with Planned Parenthood in any way possible. Committed to keeping the Wilmington doors open, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic will host an annual fundraiser, Rock Around the Clock, on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Hannah Block Community Arts Center (120 S. 2nd St.) in downtown Wilmington. The event stems from the Friends of Planned Parenthood committee, who created the first “Dancing Through the Decades” series in 2013. “The first event, a ‘40s dance, was held on the [USS] Battleship North Carolina in 2013, and was well-attended and received,” says Mitchell Price, director of donor engagement. “[After this year’s ‘50s theme,] the next time around will be the ‘60s.” Theming the fundraiser series around time periods acts as a reminder to when women’s health care was “less-than informed,” such as with limited to no sex education and advocacy. In a 2013 article, The Atlantic reviewed a 1953 instructional film for doctors treating female patients experiencing menopause. Presented by the Schering Corporation, the film details treatment options from “mild sedation” to estrogen hormonal therapy that could turn the “patient’s frown upside down.”
have been fun, the policies and attitudes surrounding abortion and women’s health in general were not,” Eldred says. This isn’t the first time Planned Parenthood advocates used a bit of tongue-in-cheek forms of support and protest. “We had a protest in the General Assembly last session where a bunch of Planned Parenthood supporters dressed like our favorite characters from the show ‘Mad Men,’” Eldred remembers. “That had a similar effect of sending a message that we refuse to go back in time when it comes to women’s health—no matter how determined politicians are in setting a lot of progress back.” Rock Around the Clock will have a ‘50s prom punch to it, with everything from maltshop milkshakes to the decked out, retrostyled gym of Hannah Block. Pompadours and poodle skirts are encouraged. “We have a DJ to make sure we get all the hits from the ‘50s,” Price continues. “There will be snacks, like sliders and fries, popcorn and cake squares.” Proceeds will help provide local education and medical services provided at Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (1925 Tradd Court). Attendees can purchase ticket “classes” ($40 to $80 individually, or $150 for a pair) or sponsorship levels from Teenagers in Love $200 to the All Shook Up $2,500. “We created a special ticket to encourage young professionals to attend; hence the ‘Born after Elvis’ (1977 and beyond) ticket,” Price says. “The additional levels above the normal ticket price are for sponsors. All sponsors will receive a keepsake photo and recognition at the event.” For tickets and sponsorships, visit www.RockAround.ppsat.org

Chapter 21: Secret History of Cats 3, Final Lesson
I
by: ANTHONY D. LAWSON
nspiration is a funny thing. In many ways it reminds me of love: It usually hits where no one either expects or prepares for it. There is no telling where it comes from. One moment life is completely mundane and the next ... Eureka! Much like love, many people claim to be inspired, but the proof of such is severely lacking. Of all the boasts I’d heard from different cats over the years, it’s hard to tell which were of the true variety and which were merely fleeting. If I’m being completely honest, cats can be very boastful creatures. Once leaving behind my comrades in England and journeying to New York, I tended to keep to myself, no longer trusting the pack mentality (especially after what had transpired that final week). That’s not to say that I didn’t keep the company of other felines from time to time; I just always made sure our exchanges were brief and infrequent.
Some species would regard this as antisocial, but to us it’s just called being a cat. New York was a wonderful change from London. I spent most of my time in Central Park. While there I came across several cats who claimed to have been the inspiration for the cat in the Poe story, “The Black Cat.” I was most amused when the cat in question wasn’t even black. Even worse were the ones who claimed to be the muse to Mr. Carroll. It’s one thing to see a cat mope around and embrace his inner darkness; it’s something altogether to witness a cat grin as wide as it can just to prove a point. I felt bad for these cats, all of them. I didn’t understand the need to be something more than what they were. I was satisfied just being me—and alone, for that matter. As far as I knew, I never inspired anyone to excel in their craft. In fact, it seemed I only inspired insanity. Every time I thought this a vision of the shabby man from the London alley flashed before my eyes. Even in New York I seemed to find mental illness at every turn.
There was a strange man who sometimes sat in the park and stared into space. Most of the time he just looked uncomfortable or nervous, never spoke to anyone, only scratched down notes in a small black book. Even that was infrequent. He seemed most anxious and animated when he spied a larger-than-usual group of us sitting together. When this would happen, I usually would catch him muttering words to himself; at least I think they were words. It sounded more like he was pressing his tongue to the roof of his mouth and pushing air out. As odd as he was, I never felt threatened by him, although there was plenty to fear in the park. London had taught me to be on my guard at all times. The scarcity of meat made it tough to be a cat. New York was better but, between the desperate and plain old deranged, not by much. It appeared that no place on earth was going to be completely safe, as my trip west would soon prove. It wasn’t until I found a home in Greendale Pines that I let my guard down. It became evident what that security would cost me. * * * * * I was outside of the home many times before to catch food, but it had been a long time since I had been out for any considerable length. I already felt tired, and the chill set into my bones. The home had made me soft. I always felt superior to the elderly and infirm that I fed off of. I thought I was better than them for my ability to live when they couldn’t. But I had been trapped there all the same. At least they had a reason for being there; I was my own jailor. At first the air invigorated me. I was inspired to dash forward, certain I could deduce where M. was now living, based on information gleaned from orderly chatter and photographs from her room. The fall air was full with the scent of dead leaves. Memories
that weren’t my own tried to catch hold in my brain, but blew away with the chilly air. I thought of my unlucky friends, those cats of the black variety that found themselves persecuted during the plague years. They were blamed for the spreading of the disease, so any black caught instantly was put to death. Of course, this left the true culprits, the rats, to run free and spread as much death as they pleased. Even after the wrongful accusations, black cats only seem to get respect one month out of the year. As the lights from town appeared, I slowed my approach as my mind wandered. I left immediately without thinking, knowing in my core that it was the right thing to do. But how would my sudden arrival appear to M.’s family? Even if M. recognized me from the home—and how could she not?—she would be unable to vocalize I was indeed a welcome guest. Then I wondered if I would in fact be welcome. Doubt slowed my pace and plunged me even deeper in thought. What would I do once I arrived at the house? How would I get in if the front door was barred to me? Why did I risk everything without a second thought? I was inspired. I was in love. I conjured the correct magic words because my doubt began to melt away. I truly believed I would make a difference and I would not be turned away. What assurance did I have? I was in love; that was enough. Being so certain was almost frightening. I only ever had been certain of one thing— staying alive. That seemed to take a backseat to the more pressing matter. I had to get to M.—to save her. It was the right thing to do. There was no question, but my heart began thumping hard in reply. The answer: a resounding y-e-s! In a daze, no longer of doubt, but of heartfelt assurance, I pressed forward. I was in such a state I barely noticed when the soft give of the grass yielded to the hard, rough texture of the pavement. In fact, when I finally shook off my daydream and looked up, I had just enough time to recognize the bright glow coming toward me as headlights. After that, everything went dark.

He will write a piece of prose presented in parts every other week in encore throughout 2015, entitled “The Nine Lives of Xen.”

10/23: FORREST SHAW When marine biology fails you, become a comic. That’s what Forrest Shaw did after saving manatees for a decade in his early career. During that time at night, Shaw would head into comedy clubs to practice his cynical views of the world, revealing his gambling addiction, health problems and life growing up in Miami. He’s refined his spiel nowadays after being involved in numerous festivals and landing a spot on FXX’s “Legit.” He’ll be at Dead Crow on the 23 for two shows at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. the Persephone myth, while following the conversation of a small band of dinner guests joined for an annual meal. The show explores our ties to agrarian rhythms as well as our modern disassociation from them. The stories recounted by the dinner guests spring to life through shadow puppetry, song and physical theater, acknowledging the extent to which
our lives and fate are still beating to a seasonal, collective pulse. The feature presentation will be followed by a screening of Buster Keaton’s 1922 silent film “Cops” accompanied live by The Rural Academy Orchestra.

TITUS ANDRONICUS
10/22-25. Thurs-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 5pm. Some time after a global cataclysm, a people reestablished civilization in the guise of ancient Rome. Those outside struggled to survive through the horrors and difficulties of a world that died long before they did. This is the world of Titus Andronicus, a Roman general who returns to Rome after ten years of battling those outsiders, the Goths. He brings with him his last remaining sons and his prisoners: Tamora, Queen of the Goths, her three daughters, and Aaron, an outsider who has grown to hate a society which views him as a villain. The play unravels when Titus kills Tamora’s oldest daughter, and she vows her revenge on the Andronici.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Through the use of light, color and gesture, human emotions, interaction, place and beauty are uncovered. Working directly from the model, the people, the world they live in and the world they move through is caught at a moment by sketching and painting them without time for filters but in full light bringing the private into public in a respectful and sensitive revealing. These works captures the weariness, joy, peace, and other concerns that all of us feel in our personal lives. Color is used to enforce these emotions while shapes speak to the handsomeness of the human form. Costello’s Piano Bar, 211 Princess Street

BELLAMY MANSION
One of NC’s most spectacular examples of antebellum architecture, built on the eve of the Civil War by
free and enslaved black artisans, for John Dillard Bellamy (1817-1896) physician, planter and business leader; and his wife, Eliza McIlhenny Harriss (1821-1907) and their nine children. After the fall of Fort Fisher in 1865, Federal troops commandeered the house as their headquarters during the occupation of Wilmington. Now a museum, itf ocuses on history and the design arts and offers tours, changing exhibitions and an informative look at historic preservation in action.910-251-3700. www.bellamymansion.org. 503 Market St. CAMERON ART MUSEUM
Exhibits: José Bernal: Obra de Arte, through 2/26: First retrospective of Cuban born-American artist José Bernal (1925-2010). Born in Santa Clara, Cuba, Bernal excelled at both music and visual art as a child and, after receiving his Master’s Degree, began his teaching career while continuing to produce his artwork. In 1961, Bernal was arrested for unpatriotic behavior for refusal to work in the sugar cane fields. After this incident, Bernal and his wife Estela secured visas for themselves and their three children to leave Cuba for America and, by 1962, relocated to Chicago. Although he rarely exhibited, Bernal worked prolifically, producing hundreds of works throughout his lifetime and exploring the various mediums of painting, collage, assemblage and ceramics. • Response is the Medium through 1/10/16: In 1977 interactive art pioneer Myron W. Kruger stated, “The beauty of the visual and aural response is secondary. Response is the medium! As an art form, this is unique. Instead of an artist creating a piece of artwork, the artist is creating a sequence of possibilities.” The exhibition Response is the Medium explores the innovative ways artists are utilizing technology, perception and audience interaction in creating their work. Media artists Brian Knep, Daniel Rozin and Purring Tiger (Aaron Sherwood and Kiori Kawai); metalsmith Gabriel Craig and composer Michael Remson.

ARIES (Mar. 21–April 20) According to the online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French “fasciner” and the Latin “fascinatus,” which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.” In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.” My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible? It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but, yes, it is.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. The saw weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it’s perfect for the job. Indeed, that’s what it’s used for in Kazakhstan. Right now, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment. That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s impermanence. After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor. I don’t recommend you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers?

TOURS OF WWII SITES

Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said. It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions. Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice-versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points, but I suspect in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of the grace period! Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Some unraveling is inevitable. What has been woven together must now be partially unwoven. Please, refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback. Instead, consider it an opportunity to re-examine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad for a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. In fact, I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. For best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.
“A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde. I appreciate the wit, but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you, Capricorn? In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders? Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not. In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual, and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off-balance. Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not—but in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom. You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to long-standing dilemmas. To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. 1. “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” 2. “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” 3. “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”
Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way,” by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before. Yet, there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.” Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love. But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate. When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert. I mention this, Aquarius, because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.
New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way. There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides. Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. Please, make room for surprises.

GHOST WALK
yourself from life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality. I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher, even as you’re almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.
When I advise you to get naked, I don’t mean it in a literal sense. Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of self-revelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth. But, getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets. Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability. Gently, sweetly and poetically tell the Purveyors of Unholy Repression to take their boredom machine and shove it up their humdrum.
