seven things to do in seven days

Jenny Lewis

Tue. Oct. 7 | For her third solo album, July’s The Voyager, the former Rilo Kiley frontwoman partnered with producer Ryan Adams for a slick pack of dark pop and bitter AM-influenced L.A. folk. Nashville’s Nikki Lane — moody singer-songwriter and Dan Auerbach protege — opens at 9 p.m. at the Civic Theatre.

Meshell Ndegeocello

Fri. Oct. 10 | The singer/bassist performs music from her June album Comet, Come to Me, a tribute to Nina Simone. At 7:30 p.m. at Contemporary Arts Center.

Joanna Gleason

Sat. Oct. 11 | Fans may know her from Woody Allen films (Hannah and Her Sisters) or Boogie Nights, or recurring roles on TV’s Sex and the City or Friends, but the Tony Award-winning actress truly stands out on stage. She performs with Well Strung at 7:30 p.m. at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre.

Sun. Oct. 12 | Besides crafting delicious beer, California’s Lagunitas Brewing Company knows how to make an entrance: This party for the brand’s introduction to the New Orleans market features Philadelphia kitchen-sinkers Man Man and San Francisco folk-rockers Thao & the Get Down Stay Down. Little Hurricane and Houndmouth open at 6 p.m. at Republic.

Tig Notaro

OCT

Chicago | Bianca Marroquin stars as Roxie Hart, the chorus girl who murders her lover and finds new rivals behind bars in rough and tumble Cook County jail. Manipulating her made-for-tabloids story helps her grab the spotlight in the classic musical. At Saenger Theatre.

Sun. Oct. 12 | The comic returns to New Orleans following critical acclaim for her Grammy nominated 2012 album Live, which Louis CK (who offered the album on his website) called “masterful” — a raw, vulnerable and hilarious set about her cancer diagnosis and personal tragedy. At 8 p.m. at The Joy Theater.

Chromeo

Mon. Oct. 13 | Even if others don’t take David Macklovitch and Patrick Gemayel’s music seriously, it doesn’t mean they won’t.

As Canadian duo Chromeo, they’ve made a career out of mostly ironic, fully committed synth pop with enough dug-up ’80s fertilizer to regrow John Oates’ mustache. May’s White Women (Last Gang) is their latest.

Wave Racer opens at 10 p.m. at Republic.

Pink smoke, high heels and speedy bikes: Meet New Orleans’ baddest allfemale motorcycle club

By Henrick Karoliszyn

T

hese bikers don’t fit a cliche or stereotype.

They ride fast motorcycles in 6-inch heels, skin-tight pants and leather vests with a logo of a voluptuous woman next to a sports bike. Donning helmets with pink Mohawks and with Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” blaring from one of the bikes’ speakers, the dozen women barreling through Algiers on a recent Thursday night make a bold collective.

As they rumble along the pavement, one rider suddenly stops in the middle of Odeon Avenue. The biker lets her bottle-blonde curls fall and her Suzuki GSX, emblazoned with her nickname “TRIX” on its side, begins making a figure eight. When the bike stops, Dywanna “Trix” Franklin, 28, lets the back wheel spin and wail while the motorcycle stays in place, and within seconds, an enormous pink smoke cloud shoots.

“We all do tricks,” says Nakosha “CoCo” Smith, 34, whose bike growls nearby. “We burn rubber for pink smoke, pop wheelies, we make our symbol in the street, we make smiley faces, mean faces if you piss us off, drag race.”

The rest of the Curves crew takes turns peeling out and performing stunts.

The group formed unofficially a few months before Hurricane Katrina, and originally there were only a handful of people.

During early meetings, the women discussed making their prospective club work like a nonprofit so they could give back to their community by throwing toy drives and fundraisers.

Whatever money was left over would go back into the club.

When the levee failures flooded the city in 2005, the women were displaced to Dallas, Houston and Baton Rouge, and their dreams of a motorcycle club seemed dashed.

A couple of years later, however, Carolyn “Caramel” Sterling, 39, a barber and mother of two, decided to resurrect the club. With friend and fellow motorcyclist Smith, a manicurist, Sterling decided it was time to relaunch their crew. The two had been riding motorcycles together in New Orleans since 2002 and conceptualized a riding club of women who shared PAGE 8

the same passion for motorcycles. They began recruiting members, largely by word of mouth. After a few months, there was a working club.

The rules were simple: “You have to own your own bike and have a vagina,” Smith says, adding that fearless personalities and road swagger don’t hurt either. The club began hosting events and riding together at least once a week and regularly rode to second line parades on Sundays. Eventually the group started participating in weekly bike nights in New Orleans, and each May rides to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for Black Bike Week.

The local bike nights were where the women’s bike club proved itself on the streets. In New Orleans East, where races took place along Almonaster Avenue each Wednesday, Caramel Curves garnered respect from male riding clubs.

The reception was positive as soon as they began revving their engines.

“They weren’t pissed off, the men were accepting,” Smith says. “Who wouldn’t like seeing a bunch of big, fine women on bikes with heels on? C’mon now.”

Terry Jackson, co-chair of the local chapter of #1 Stunnas Motor Sport Club, says the Caramel Curves left an immediate impression on the city’s motorcycle community.

“They represent style and grace with a special kind of swag,” says Jackson, who has been active in the New Orleans bike scene for more than 14 years.

“When you get a group of positive women that can command respect, give back to the community and their families, work actively and ride motorcycles — it speaks volumes.”

Drew Francis, 30, who owns a barbershop next door to the Curves’ meeting place in Algiers, says the group blew him away the first time he saw them ride.

“They’re the baddest female club in the city,” he says. “I admire what they’re doing as women. They’re some amazing ladies. They’re fearless. They’re always representing — always. ... I dig their style.”

So why motorcycles?

Riding fights boredom. It takes you out of the monotonous cycle of work, bills and mindless entertainment. It transports you to a place where holding tight and kicking up speed gives you adrenaline, excitement, pleasure and danger all mixed together. For the Curves, it’s also a world where women are in control, often holding stride or outright beating men on the road.

That’s how members describe what it’s like to be a rider in the club.

Daria “Candi” Green, 35, who has been with the Curves for four years, has a reputation as the speed demon of the group, She up when asked what attracts her to motorcycles.

“It’s freedom,” she says. “Once you put that helmet on, it’s a totally different dimension. I’m somebody completely

different. I’m not that same person I am when I got on the bike. … I feel like I’m somewhere else. I’m not here, I know that much.”

Other members look to the club for a chance to live a more fulfilling life.

Karena James, 39, never thought she could ride a motorcycle by herself. When she was younger, she’d sit on the back of her cousin’s bike when he rode near the Calliope Projects. She loved the feeling, but thought she was too short to drive. At about 5 feet tall, her toes wouldn’t touch the ground on a standard bike, so she gave up on the idea.

That changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing surgery in 2010, James decided to pursue her passions and bought a Kawasaki 650, custom-lowered to fit her height.

She later joined Caramel Curves and was given the nickname “Shorty Redd.”

“I said I was going to do everything I always wanted to do,” she says. “It was like knocking things off my bucket list.

One of those things was to get a bike and ride. It relieves pain in your mind, and the things you think about sometimes. I’m just living life right now.”

In a realm once dominated by the image of men cruising on the open road, the built-in feminism of the Curves’ presence isn’t lost on its members. The goal of the club is to show women they can ride motorcycles in a commanding way.

“We see a lot of women who want to ride a bike but they’re scared,” Smith says. “But a lot of them see us do it and it makes them want to do it, too. They should know that we do everything the boys do — except we just look better doing it.”

The club’s rise comes at a time when female motorcycle groups are growing around the country. Maggie McNally-Bradshaw, chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) riding coach, says nearly half her students are women. McNally-Bradshaw, who has been riding motorcycles since 1981, says a seismic cultural shift in the past two decades has made women riding groups like Caramel Curves more common.

“Women riders were once seen as an isolated occurrence,” she says. “That has changed a lot.”

Caramel Curves’ membership is growing, with nine new members joining in the past year, giving the club a roster of 22 riders. Since Curves formed, three other all-women motorcycle clubs have cropped up in New Orleans, a trend the Curves embrace.

“Women on bikes is a movement,” says Shanika “Tru” Beatty, 31, who has been a Curve since the club began. “It’s now something we can stamp our name on. Women shouldn’t be afraid of riding motorcycles. We’re the proof.”

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“When it comes to 2016, I’m Jindal all the way. … Jindal’s a two-term governor of Louisiana, a champion of small business and starting this year he’s allowed to stay out past 11 o’clock.”

— Stephen Colbert as his All-American alter-ego on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report on Sept. 30, reviewing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s appearance at the Values Voter Summit. Colbert took jabs at Jindal’s nerdy disposition and refusal to talk evolutionary science, despite holding an honors degree in biology from Brown University. Jindal fired back with a series of tweets to Colbert, including, “missed ur show last night, was too busy pulling out pages on evolution in my kids’ biology textbooks” and “my kids tell me they’re learning about Charles Darwin in school…Common Core math is getting weird.”

New Orleans prosecutors are using Louisiana’s repeat-offender laws to create potential sentences so lengthy that criminal defendants have no choice but to plead guilty, potentially depriving them of the right to a fair trial, according to three candidates for Criminal District Court.

Marie Williams and Graham Bosworth, who are challenging incumbent Judge Frank Marullo in the race for Criminal Court Division D, and Byron C. Williams, who is running against Municipal Court Judge Paul Sens for the open Division G seat at Criminal Court, appeared in a Sept. 29 forum sponsored by the Home Defense Foundation of New Orleans. The foundation advocates on behalf of people charged in self-defense shootings.

Many of the questions at the forum focused on tactics used in the courtroom, including a query by foundation member Nadra Enzi regarding the use of “multiple bills” on repeat offenders. Under Louisiana law, defendants convicted of certain felonies can receive

enhanced penalties after subsequent felony convictions if they are charged as repeat offenders. The practice is called “multiple billing,” and the district attorney’s office has complete discretion over whether to charge a defendant who has prior felony convictions as a repeat offender.

For example, in 2012, a 48-year-old man with previous drug and theft convictions refused a 12-year sentence on a plea deal for a simple burglary charge. He then was convicted at trial and faced a life sentence because he was charged as a repeat offender.

Bosworth says there are “constitutional issues” with the practice. The rights to remain silent and receive a fair trial are enshrined in the Constitution, he said, and using major penalties as leverage to force a guilty plea essentially deprives defendants of those rights. Innocent defendants may be forced to plead guilty, Bosworth said, or guilty defendants may be forced to plead to crimes more severe than the present case warrants.

Marie Williams said she also had issues with the practice, especially in cases when there are problems with the evidence. When defendants are

forced to plead guilty, she said, they then put themselves at risk for more severe penalties if they face felony charges in a separate case later.

Byron Williams said multiple billing and guilty pleas are contributing to Louisiana’s high incarceration rates. On the other hand, he said, judges have little authority over such outcomes because the state Legislature has removed much of their discretion when defendants are convicted under the state’s repeat offender law. — ROBERT MORRIS | UPTOWN MESSENGER

Alliance backs Landrieu Hollis pinch-hits for Cassidy

The Alliance for Good Government endorsed U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu in her re-election bid following a debate between Landrieu and opponent Rob Maness.

Republican challenger Bill Cassidy did not attend, but had state Rep. Paul Hollis attend on his behalf.

and the Affordable Care Act, while Landrieu came down against Cassidy for supporting Gov. Bobby Jindal, whom Landrieu called “disastrous” to the state’s health care system.

Maness asked audience members if they supported Obamacare and was answered by a few scattered murmurs of “no” — but several others chimed in that they support it. “We’ve got to pull [Obamacare] out by the

‘Vision Zero’ policy urged

Bike groups ask council for policy to protect pedestrians, bikers

Two local nonprofits have had it with unnecessary traffic deaths.

Rachel Heiligman, executive di-

rector of the transportation advocacy nonprofit Ride New Orleans, and Naomi Doerner, executive director of the bicycle advocacy group Bike Easy, went before the New Orleans City Council’s Transportation and Airport Committee Sept. 30 to propose a Vision Zero initiative for cyclist and pedestrian deaths for the city of New Orleans.

According to a study by the Center for Planning Excellence and the Louisiana Public Health Institute, Louisiana has the fifth highest pedestrian death rate in the country. New Orleans takes the lead in the state, with 1,500 pedestrians involved in vehicle crashes between 2008 and 2012.

This year has seen several bicycle accidents that have resulted in deaths and serious injury, such as Geric Geck, who was killed in an accident with a truck on St. Claude Avenue earlier this summer; Frank Guinn, who was killed on Chef Menteur Highway in April while training for a marathon; and the critical injury of Andrew Powell, Guinn’s brother-in-law, who was hit in the same accident.

“We don’t want to see these headlines anymore,” Heiligman said.

Heiligman and Doerner pointed out that New Orleans has made real strides in getting residents to explore the city without a car, but now it needs to make sure its roads are safe enough to support the steadily rising number of walkers and bikers. Their plan calls for educational programs for drivers, bikers and pedestrians, as well as increased enforcement for those who don’t obey the laws of the road.

The Vision Zero initiative started in Sweden in 1997 and has reduced PAGE 12

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu and retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness of Madisonville faced off in their first-ever public debate as the two candidates met at the Alliance for Good Government’s endorsement forum at Kenner’s City Hall Sept. 30. After the forum, the group voted to endorse Landrieu.

Landrieu’s other Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy of Baton Rouge, was absent — which Landrieu and Maness quickly noted in their introductions. In Cassidy’s stead, state Rep. Paul Hollis delivered an introduction and final remarks. (Hollis told Gambit that Cassidy had a “previous engagement.”) Hollis was allowed to present only an introduction and closing statement and could not answer questions in Cassidy’s stead, though he told the forum that the election is “about a shift in conservative values” with Cassidy acting as a “staunch opponent of President Obama.”

Maness (and Cassidy, via Hollis) criticized Landrieu for supporting Obama

roots,” Maness said.

(An email the following day from the Maness campaign said the debate showed Maness is “the people’s choice” — despite Landrieu winning the Alliance endorsement.)

Candidates also discussed energy resources — both favor the Keystone XL pipeline and accountability for oil and gas company damages to Louisiana, and Landrieu touted her chairmanship of the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

“Why would we give that up?” Landrieu said.

The debate also introduced candidate Bill Waymire, a military veteran and former schoolteacher. Though he stumbled answering several questions, he made the crowd laugh with pithy remarks, like, “[Landrieu] has had her behind on the line. I want to put my behind on the line.”

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Twice violated after trying to help cops gather evidence against a rapist makes them feel violated all over again.

Louisiana is one of a handful of states that puts the cost of rape kit data collection on local parishes. Unfortunately, under federal and state law, many related tests are not considered part of the evidence collection process, even though Louisiana has a law making it a crime to knowingly expose someone to HIV. Sexual assaults already rank among the least reported crimes. Making rape victims pay, literally, for the crimes of their attackers seems barbaric, and it can only compound the problem of underreporting.

The T-P’s Catalanello reported that Interim LSU Hospital in New Orleans only began billing sexual assault victims for ancillary tests after Jindal and state lawmakers privatized Louisiana’s public hospitals.

Jindal spokeswoman Shannon Bates told Gambit that the problem actually predates the governor’s privatization initiative be-

Making rape victims pay, literally, for the crimes of their attackers seems barbaric. cause the state has never had a uniform, consistent policy on the question of who pays for rape victims’ related forensic exams. Bates said the problem has existed outside Orleans Parish for many years at both public and private hospitals, and she added that Jindal and lawmakers are already working to develop a uniform statewide policy for underwriting DNA collection and other forms of evidence gathering in sexual assault cases.

Last month, the Joyful Heart Foundation — a national organization that helps victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse — once again challenged the federal government to allocate money for local criminal justice organizations to eliminate rape kit backlogs. As police nationwide began to enter information from backlogged kits, hundreds of serial rapists were identified and dozens of investigations were opened or reopened. Expanding the scope of forensic examinations covered by public funds and establishing a consistent statewide policy to pay for them will help solve sexual assault cases — and give victims reason to trust that they will not be violated by the system that’s supposed to help them.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

hanks to a federal consent decree designed to improve police practices, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) has virtually eliminated its backlog of untested sexual assault DNA collection kits. NOPD accomplished this by submitting the data to the FBI’s nationwide database. The Louisiana State Police completed a similarly massive undertaking by reducing its backlog in 2008, submitting more than 30,000 statewide DNA samples to the database. These steps represent important milestones for both agencies, but much more remains to be done to give rape victims confidence that the government is doing all it can to prosecute sex crimes.

In June, Gov. Bobby Jindal signed into law a bill that sets a hard deadline of Jan. 1, 2015, to make all criminal justice agencies in Louisiana complete an inventory of their untested sexual assault DNA collection kits — commonly known as rape kits — and send them to the Louisiana State Police crime lab. The bill, by state Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans, also aims to give lawmakers a full picture of the state’s rape kit backlog by the start of the 2015 legislative session. Morrell’s bill should hold criminal justice agencies accountable for a longstanding failure to process evidence that could not only put offenders away with hard evidence but also save thousands of lives.

But what is Louisiana telling rape victims who receive large hospital bills after that crucial evidence is collected?

The Times-Picayune’s Rebecca Catalanello reported last month that rape victims in Louisiana often get massive hospital bills after they report their attacks and submit to extensive forensic exams.

That happens, despite the Louisiana Crime Victim Reparations Fund’s potential to offer relief to those victims. The newspaper’s lengthy story noted that many victims are billed thousands of dollars for items directly related to the battery of forensic tests commonly performed on sexual assault victims. The costs often include emergency room admissions, HIV tests and other fees.

Federal law requires that certain tests, which are part of a standard rape kit, cannot be billed to sexual assault victims, but a number of other commonly administered tests — including examinations for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases — are not covered by the law. These and other forensic tests easily can cost more than $2,000, according to the T-P story, and sometimes the bills arrive too late for victims to submit them to their health insurance providers. Moreover, the application process for reimbursement from victim reparation funds can take more than a month, with reimbursements (if they are awarded) taking a year or more.

More than one victim told the newspaper that getting a large hospital bill

Dear Blake,

Pelicans were sculpted from metal scraps to decorate the Versabar sign in Chalmette.

When did the fire happen at New Orleans Naval Support Activity Station?

P H O T O B Y K A N D A C E P O W ER G R AV E S

Dear Reader,

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

Two fires occurred in the late 1970s, before the New Orleans Fire Department kept records on every fire. Additionally, the New Orleans Naval Support Activity Station (NSAS) went through several different hands in the military over the years, and requests for records of the fire from the military have gone unanswered. However, a A 1977 article in The Times-Picayune mentions a threealarm fire at the base on Dec. 19, 1976, which damaged buildings housing a nursery, chapel and movie theater. The newspaper reported another fire — on Dec. 31, 1976 — damaged a building that contained records. A spokesman for the NOFD could not confirm the dates or on which base or bases the fires occurred.

The NSAS originally was located on both sides of the Mississippi River, one complex in Algiers and another in Bywater. The Algiers station was established in the early 1900s, and during World War I, the Army built a quartermaster depot at the Bywater station, also known as the Port of Embarkation.

Versabar in Belle Chasse? Did they come from the 1984 World’s Fair or what?

Jack Crais

Dear Jack,

The Navy took control of the Bywater station in 1966, and the complexes on both sides of the river became known as the New Orleans NSAS, a national headquarters for the Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve.

In 2005, the military decided the NSAS would close, which it did in August 2011.

Last year, the Navy gave part of the Algiers complex to the Algiers Development District Board of Commissioners, which is

developing Federal City. The city of New Orleans bought the Bywater station from the Navy and plans to create an International Resilience Center for disaster management and resilience following disasters.

Hey Blake,

What’s the deal with the phantasmagoric pelican-like creature at the entrance to

Versabar is an engineering company that was founded in 1981 by Jon Khachaturian. The company specializes in lifting heavy things using a range of tools and mechanisms, including cranes, hydraulic winches, and umbilical and riser pull-ins.

The structure at the entrance to Versabar is not from the Louisiana World’s Fair. It was created in 2011 by Mark Coulon Jr., Lynn Pellegrin and other artists, using scrap materials. During a lull at work, some fabricators at Versabar completed construction of the design, but what you see today is the second version. Hurricane Isaac in 2012 damaged the wings of the original pelicans, and they were patched later that year.

Angelle’s angle ublic Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, a Republican from Breaux Bridge, changed the dynamic of the 2015 governor’s race last week when he decided the contest needed a major candidate from Acadiana — himself. Angelle poses a threat to all three announced candidates, but it remains to be seen if he can parlay his Cajun base into a runoff spot.

The other candidates are U.S. Sen. David Vitter, the current frontrunner who nonetheless has significant negatives (and lots of detractors even among his fellow Republicans); Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, a Baton Rouge Republican who has won several grueling statewide races but continues to be dogged by claims from the GOP’s hard right that he’s not conservative enough; and Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards of Amite, who has a good resume but has

Jindal became governor. He also served as Jindal’s legislative point man and consistently got high marks from lawmakers as someone who was easy to work with — unlike Jindal.

In 2010, Angelle made two big political moves: Jindal appointed him interim lieutenant governor after then-Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu won the New Orleans mayor’s race, and he switched to the GOP. (Angelle promised not to run for lieutenant governor when he was appointed.) In 2012, he resigned his DNR post, and Jindal immediately named him to the LSU Board of Supervisors. Later that year, Angelle won his Public Service Commission seat.

His announcement for governor triggered the predictable criticism that he’s too close to Jindal. Some even speculated that he is Jindal’s anointed candidate.

He and Jindal use the same chief fundraiser, Allee Bautsch, and earlier this year

Angelle will have to separate himself politically and philosophically from Jindal at every turn.

OnMessage did a poll for him. OnMessage in Louisiana is led by Jindal consigliere Timmy Teepell. Angelle told me last week that Baton Rouge consultant Roy Fletcher will run his campaign for governor and that OnMessage will have no role going forward.

In his announcement, Angelle said he will be “more focused on getting us across the goal line rather than grabbing the headline” — a clear swipe at Jindal, who frequently grandstands. Angelle also portrays himself as a political pragmatist, not a Jindal-like ideologue.

That’s a good start, but it doesn’t remove the Jindal Factor from the conversation. You can bet Vitter, who despises Jindal, will spend whatever it takes to hang the wildly unpopular governor around Angelle’s neck. For his part, Angelle will have to separate himself politically and philosophically from Jindal at every turn.

Louisiana governor’s races typically favor candidates with strong geographic bases in the primary; runoffs tend to be philosophical showdowns. If the 2015 contest follows that template, and if Angelle locks up the Cajun vote, he could be the dark horse of the race. His opponents, meanwhile, will portray him as Jindal’s stalking horse.

It will be interesting to see which narrative voters believe.

struggled to raise money and establish statewide name recognition.

Early polls show Vitter leading the pack, and he is working hard to present himself as inevitable. Vitter’s many critics — Democrat and Republican — believe he would lose to a less strident Republican in the runoff.

Dardenne would be such a runoff opponent. So would Angelle. But if both men run, they could split the anti-Vitter vote and allow a Democrat to make the runoff. That’s Vitter’s fondest hope.

Angelle’s strengths as a candidate are his appeal among Cajun voters (who historically vote for one of their own, especially a conservative), his ability to stir a crowd as a stump speaker and his potential to beat Vitter in a runoff. His weaknesses are his small campaign war chest ($175,000 as of earlier this year), his ties to Gov. Bobby Jindal and the fact that, right now at least, he’s largely unknown outside Acadiana.

Politics is in Angelle’s DNA. His father served in the Legislature and later as secretary of wildlife and fisheries under Gov. Edwin Edwards. Scott Angelle began his career as a Democrat, serving on the police jury and then as parish president in St. Martin Parish. In 2004, then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco named him secretary of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), a post he kept when

GETTING Everyone’s talking about eating clean. But what does clean actually mean? BY MIS SY W ILKINSON

to their bodies: If you feel bad after eating certain things, maybe it’s time to give up those foods.

“Clean eating means eliminating any food or calories that are not beneficial to you,” says Julie Fortenberry, a registered dietitian and lifestyle nutritionist with Touro Infirmary. “And that is different for every person.

Some people eliminate processed food or sugar or cut back on gluten.

It’s eliminating something that causes a problem area for yourself.”

Celino noticed her latte habit was causing her problems. “I had fallen into this belief that you need a latte to be awake and productive, when it ends up giving you this sugar crash three hours later,” she says.

Brad Daschbach, an educator with Whole Foods Markets’ Healthy Eating program, says there are multiple viewpoints in the nutritional community about coffee. Because it is minimally processed, coffee can be part of clean eating, Kimball says.

“Coffee or tea is not the problem,” Kimball says. “It’s what we put in it.”

“If you add sugar or milk, that’s where the clean eating gets a little blurred,” Daschbach says.

Kimball recommends minimizing soft drink intake. Instead, drink water, sparkling water, green tea or coffee. As far as alcohol is concerned, Daschbach says drinking is a matter of personal preference. “Everything in moderation is key,” he says. In keeping with the keep-it-natural tenant of clean eating, wine would be a better choice than a sugar- and artificial flavor-laden Four Loko, he says.

Celino drank juice or water when she went to bars. She says the first 10 days of clean eating were the hardest. “You’re going to get headaches,” she says. “Your digestion is messed up because your body is trying to get used to something new.”

After 10 days, Celino had more energy. “It was easier to get up in the morning, and I was more productive throughout the day,” she says.

Proponents of clean eating emphasize fresh produce and nutrition label reading.

W

hen Sarah Celino embarked on a 30-day experiment in clean eating, her motive was simple: “I felt like crap all the time,” says Celino, who owns clothing boutique Bella and Harlow. “I wondered, ‘Is it what I’m eating?’ I was like, ‘What if I just try and do a whole month of giving up the things I think are making me feel bad?’”

For Celino, that meant no caffeine, alcohol, milk, cheese, red meat, refined sugar or processed food. But for somebody else, clean eating might look different. Some people consider their meals “clean” when they’re following the Paleo diet. Others might eschew all meat, but drink red wine.

It turns out the concept of clean eating is as flexible as it is ubiquitous.

“There is not one standardized definition of clean eating,” says Molly Kimball, a registered dietitian with Ochsner’s Elmwood Fitness Center.

“Clean eating is a concept or lifestyle, and the definition varies person by person.”

However, there are a few guidelines. Clean eating emphasizes unprocessed foods that are close to their natural state (e.g., fruits, vegetables, eggs, nut butters, fish, grass-fed beef, brown rice and green tea).

For processed foods, the fewer the ingredients and the more they sound like food and not like chemical compounds, the better.

People who eat clean learn to read nutrition labels, and, perhaps most important, listen

Prep fruits and vegetables so they’ll be ready to eat when you need them.

Fresh produce can be pricey, Kimball says. Frozen produce is a cost-effective, convenient alternative. “Frozen vegetables are chopped and take some of the work right out of it for you,” Kimball says. “It’s a lot better than not eating those foods at all.”

Fortenberry urges people to read nutrition labels. “Look for less than five ingredients [in processed foods],” she says.

“If you don’t know how to pronounce it, don’t eat it,” Daschbach says. “Look at the calories, and the calories from fat. That will give you a good indication of how fattening the product is. The two most common things added to processed foods are fat and sugar to make them taste good. Look at the vitamin breakdowns. If it’s 0 percent, you’re not getting any nutrition there. Fiber and protein are important as well.”

During Celino’s clean eating trial, she had fruit smoothies or eggs for breakfast. Lunch was salad. For dinner, she and her husband grilled fish or chicken and ate it with more salad. “I lost a little over 10 pounds, but I didn’t join a gym or start some crazy workout routine,” Celino says. “It was just cutting out a bunch of empty calories.”

Now that her 30-day experiment has ended, Celino enjoys the occasional cheeseburger or cappuccino. But her eating choices have permanently changed. “It has made a lasting effect on how we eat at home,” she says. “We are still buying the whole fruits and veggies. We’re not buying anything processed.”

Though Celino made many changes to her diet all at once, Fortenberry says baby steps can be just as effective.

“Start wherever you can,” she says.

That can mean trading chips and dip for celery and nut butter, or starting the day with a fruit smoothie instead of sugary cereal. “You can start with little changes and improve from there until you can live comfortably, convenience-wise, and commit yourself to doing that. Any step toward your health is going to be helpful.”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

Fortenberry says this is a common benefit of clean eating. “When people eat better, they tend to sleep better,” she says. “When you get quality sleep, your body gets more of a fat-burning mode, which ultimately helps with weight loss.”

Kimball says a clean diet also provides more consistent energy during the day.

“There’s a lot of energy swings with prepackaged and processed foods,” she says. “You get these rushes and rapid release of blood sugar, followed by a rapid release of insulin, and then we look for more food as a pick-me-up.

A whole-foods, clean diet has the healthy fat and protein we need to keep our energy stable.”

Those are the short-term benefits of clean eating. In the long term, a clean diet can prevent high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. That’s because fruits and vegetables have natural bioactive compounds that can’t be reproduced in processed foods. Kimball recounts a story about her mother, who was tube-fed for a year because of an illness. “She got all the nutrients, protein and fat she needed, but everything was breaking down,” Kimball says. “Her hair fell out. Her skin didn’t heal.”

When Kimball’s mother resumed eating real food, her body healed. “Real food has compounds we can’t package up,” Kimball says. “The more we can keep our body healthy from the inside out, the better we can reduce our long-term risk of disease.”

Eating clean isn’t always easy, especially at first. It takes willpower to make the transition, Fortenberry says, because sugar and other additives are addictive. There also is usually more prep work involved, which can be inconvenient. “It’s easier to carry around a sandwich as opposed to eating a salad,” Fortenberry says.

Daschbach recommends incorporating vegetable and fruit prep into your shopping routine. “If you go shopping on Sunday, come home and spend 30-40 minutes cleaning and cutting your vegetables into manageable, bite-size pieces,” he says. “Then you can portion them out each day of the week.”

E AT TO LI VE

A lotta VEGAN SWEET POTATO LATKES ARE PACKED WITH FALL FLAVORS.

BY RUS S L ANE

A

big difference between professional athletes and amateurs is that for most of us, clean eating is a choice. For athletes, it’s a necessity.

When I was a fledgling amateur athlete, my European coach, Mindis Jurenas at Fitness Edge in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, told me, “Food doesn’t have to be interesting.” His point was reinforced when I ran into him at the grocery store: He’d filled his cart with a gargantuan stack of eggs, frozen broccoli and chicken.

His meal plan was mind-achingly dull and it was no surprise that I turned up my nose at the “clean eating” concept. For me, the entire point of learning to cook and losing 250 pounds was to feel freer, not more restricted.

Then I realized I was eating clean already. Forgoing processed foods in favor of fresh produce and meats encourages creativity.

Mendis taught me to dead lift, but he never learned one important distinction when it came

to nutrition: Eating for performance (or health) determines what you eat, but your palate can determine how you prepare it. Just because a meal is clean doesn’t mean it can’t taste naughty.

These vegan latkes, for example, replace egg with roasted butternut squash and tame sweet root vegetables with earthy cinnamon, piquant Spanish smoked paprika and a grace note of onion.

Cooking oil is the only fat. I recommend avocado oil, because it lends a subtle flavor and substantially boosts unsaturated fats and vitamin B12.

Even with standard olive oil, the nutrients in the root vegetable-squash dish were too long to list, and the cinnamon-paprika flavoring provides a picante counterpoint.

Applesauce and sour cream are a standard accompaniment, but in late fall a cranberry-orange relish or vinegary slaw can liven the taste. Also consider apple butter or black bean salsas.

SWEET POTATO-BUTTERNUT SQUASH LATKES

&

HOW

Heat oven to 350 F. Baste or lightly spray squash with olive oil. Roast squash until the flesh begins to darken. Remove from oven to cool.

Grate the potatoes and turnips. Place in a colander in the sink and add 3/4 teaspoon salt; mix salt through with your fingers and let sit until ready to use.

Remove skin from the squash. Mash squash with a fork. Mix with flour and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 10 minutes.

Place the grated potatoes in cheesecloth or cotton dish towel and wring them dry, removing as much liquid as possible. Add potatoes, cooked onions, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, onion powder, cinnamon and paprika to taste to the mashed squash. Mix well.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Working in batches, pat mixture into circles (think pancake as opposed to tortilla or hamburger) and place in the pan. Fry until crisp on each side.

wenty years is a generation, and Federico’s Family Florist (815 Focis St., Metairie, 837-6400) has spent the last two generations providing the New Orleans area with personalized flower arrangements.

“We’re now doing weddings for people [for whom] we did their parents’ weddings,” says co-owner Kenny Thone. “[For others], we did the flowers when they were born, and now we’re doing their wedding flowers.”

The family-run business, supervised by an omnipresent poodle named Romeo, has flourished since 1976 thanks to its relationship with the community and dedication to low costs. At the store, customers can pick out a bouquet of fresh roses for $6.50. Each arrangement is designed individually according to the customer’s budget.

“We try to keep everything affordable,“ Thone says. “If you came in here and told me you had X amount of dollars, we would make it special for you for X amount of dollars. We go out of our way to do that for people.”

The storage cooler reveals more extravagant arrangements: stargazer lilies, hydrangeas and birds of paradise co-exist in bunches or eye-catching baskets ready to be picked up or delivered. Owner and lifelong floral designer Larry Federico is the master behind these living works of art. He turns boxes of Ecuadorian roses and solidagos into bridal bouquets and arrangements that seem to spring from mantelpieces and church pews.

A book of snapshots of past orders reveals the breadth of Federico’s work.

P H O T O BY The shop does C H ERY L G ER B ER annual work for Endymion and other Mardi Gras krewes. Such scenarios are all-hands-on-deck situations, when Thone calls in family and friends to help make deliveries.

The company’s funeral arrangements reveal unique and personal touches.

One arrangement formed flowers into a stand bearing the LSU logo, while a modern display of phalaenopsis orchids offered grace notes to a ceremony for a longtime client.

The most significant change at Federico’s over the decades has been its location. Its first storefront and offices were in Lakeview, but after a massive remodeling project, the company’s space took on 9 feet of water when the levees failed in 2005. A client offered them their present space, which, along with longstanding ties to vendors, allowed them to reopen in November of 2005.

Federico’s involves itself in community activities, participating in local charity events for Crimestoppers and the annual Audubon Zoo-to-Do. Thone says this community work and his clients are the best parts of the job.

“I like my job because I get to mingle with the people on a daily basis, through good and bad, through happy and sad,” Thone says. “Getting to work with the people [is] what makes it nice.”

Sacred grounds Pagoda Cafe is a Mid-City morning hotspot.

By Sarah Baird

Branch office

roll — an Australian favorite — featuring pungent mouthfuls of Terranova’s green onion sausage wrapped in flaky dough as thin and delicate as tissue paper. The kale, garbanzo bean and feta turnover has an unexpected but welcome back-of-the-throat spice but would benefit from fewer beans and more feta.

Pagoda’s array of sandwiches and salads is largely suitable for vegetarians (and vegans, with a little tinkering) without sacrificing flavor. The Indian banh mi’s stack of pickled, fermented and glazed vegetables held together by a thin swipe of tart chutney is bountiful, and it makes a square meal with the (optional) addition of sliced hardboiled egg. A crostini-style plating of salmon mousse on grilled Bellegarde Bakery bread gingerly topped with acidic capers and red onion is a smoky, decadent steal at $7.

Pagoda simultaneously stands out and fits in to its Caribbean corridor neighborhood. During bustling Sunday brunches, it hosts live, low-key bands playing music from Africa, Brazil and elsewhere, and it hosts occasional after-hours reggae dance parties. It’s not hard to imagine Pagoda Cafe someday expanding its hours to include an equally fresh, laid-back dinner menu.

In October, fall flavors arrive in force, including pumpkin in its myriad forms, but apples are never far behind. Fittingly, the French Quarter’s go-to spot for caramel and candied apples, Mister Apple, (201 N. Peters St., 504-524-0601; www. misterapple.net) also is on the move this month. The store expands this week to a second location at 4505 Magazine St., on the same block occupied by recent restaurant additions Del Fuego Taqueria (4518 Magazine St., 504-309-5797; www.delfuegotaqueria.com) and Mezze Mediterranean (4430 Magazine St., 504267-3696; www.mezzenola.com).

Mister Apple holds a grand opening Friday, Oct. 10, and will sell its unique, often holiday-themed, candy apples at both locations. The company also continues its “apple of the month” program, which allows people to get candy and caramel apples delivered to their door twice a month. — SARAH BAIRD

More Booty’s

A developing area of the CBD/Warehouse District has been accumulating restaurant offshoots and second acts for more than a year. In 2015, The owners of Bywater restaurant Booty’s Street Food (800 Louisa St., 504-2662887; www.bootysnola.com) will launch Ursa Major in The Paramount (www. paramountnola.com), a mixed-use facility at the corner of Lafayette Street and O’Keefe Avenue featuring (among other things) hundreds of apartments, a fitness center, an Internet cafe and more. The restaurant will serve as the exclusive poolside dining option for The Paramount and will offer a full theater menu catering to those visiting the nearby Civic Theatre. (510 O’Keefe Ave., 504-272-0865; www.civicnola.com).

The dishes at Ursa Major will have the same international feel as Booty’s, but= the owners says they’ll reflect a “stargazer’s perspective” with craft cocktails and small plates anchoring the menu.

The blocks around Poydras and Baronne streets have seen several new additions in the last year. The pan-Asian PAGE 109

itschy buildings in the middle of normal surroundings — like the Corn Palace in South Dakota or the Beer Can House in Houston, Texas — may be nothing more than roadside gimmicks. But Pagoda Cafe has taken a diminutive, pagodashaped building (once home to a dry cleaning business) and elevated it from neighborhood oddity to one of the best breakfast joints in New Orleans.

The global flavors and multicultural atmosphere that permeate Pagoda seem effortless and natural, with a menu that speaks to both the Australian and Indian backgrounds of co-owners Dan Etheridge and Shana Sassoon. Dollar for dollar, it’s one of the finest budget breakfast and lunch spots in the city, with almost all items well under $10.

In a city known for its mercurial weather, operating a space with outdoor-only seating is a gamble. Fortunately, it pays off for Pagoda, which has an atmosphere like a cosmopolitan, well-catered picnic. Waves of people in Birkenstocks and combat boots, some with well-swaddled babies, flow in and out. Others work on laptops, lattes in hand, under the protective cover of giant umbrellas.

The menu is as quirky and unexpected as the temple-shaped trappings, and it has two particularly off-the-grid delights: flat whites and cottage cheese. The first, an Australian coffee drink that’s recently gained popularity as part of the third wave coffee movement, combines frothy, microfoam milk with a double shot of espresso, creating a super-charged play on a cafe con leche. Pagoda’s version arrives perfectly velvety, with the milk acting as a supporting cast member to the espresso’s bold, nutty bite.

Cottage cheese is the black sheep of the dairy family, far too often viewed as antiquated diet food or slopped onto a tray in a Piccadilly line. If your only memory of cottage cheese involves the bland, low-fat variety served in an elementary school cafeteria, Pagoda offers a version worthy of reconsideration. The large curd, slightly salty creaminess of cottage cheese is swirled with an herbal dollop of arugula pesto and colorful pops of marigold-colored cherry tomatoes, as if every ingredient was gleaned from the garden that morning.

The breakfast pastries could sustain a small bakery unto themselves. There is a delightful stuffed popover that combines the sweet, tropical flavor of guava with a wedge of cream cheese en croute sprinkled with glistening raw sugar. Pagoda carries its pastry-making skills over to the lunch menu with a dense sausage

Making the list

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recently made the prehistoric mounds at Poverty Point the 1,001st addition to its list of World Heritage Sites, a compilation of places of cultural and natural significance. Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, who oversees the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, will oversee the unveiling of a plaque at an inscription ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, in Epps, Louisiana.

To highlight the event, Dardenne used 1,001 Mounds candy bars donated

by Hershey to create a replica of Poverty Point in his office.

Poverty Point is the name of a nearby 19th-century plantation. The recognized site contains a semicircle of ceremonial earthworks and mounds created and used by Native Americans between 3700 B.C. and 3100 B.C. It’s one of 20 sites recently added to the global list, and it’s the 22nd site in the U.S. The U.S. originally nominated the site in 2013, and Dardenne sent a delegation to argue for its addition to the list.

Candy bars from the replica will be handed out at the inscription ceremony. — SARAH BAIRD

3-COURSE interview

Keith Oldendorf Deutsches Haus President Keith Oldendorf is president of Deutsches Haus (www.deutscheshaus.org), a German social club and special events hall currently based in Metairie.

Oldendorf spoke with Gambit about the group’s upcoming Oktoberfest celebrations, the organization’s return to Orleans Parish and his favorite German foods.

What’s on the agenda for Oktoberfest this year?

What are the plans for your new location?

O: The new building we’re constructing on Bayou St. John will be totally different from where we are now. It is going to reflect both traditional and modern German architecture, with each piece of the building representing a different part of Germany. There will be a big beer garden in the back, where people can drink beer under an oak tree and watch the sun set over Bayou St. John. The roofline of the building will reflect the Black Forest in Germany, the towers will represent the German castles and the brickwork will be a texture like what is found in northern Germany.

We’re going to continue our annual events and operate like a social club.

Currently, we have around 600 members. We anticipate the new building will be ready in early 2017, and that our membership will grow.

What’s your favorite German food?

O: I love them all, but it’s definitely just a basic bratwurst with sauerkraut.

There’s nothing quite like a good brat. — SARAH BAIRD Deutsches Haus’ Oktoberfest is from 4 p.m.-11 p.m. Fridays and 1 p.m.-11 p.m.

Saturdays Oct. 10-25 at Rivertown (415 Williams Blvd.) in Kenner.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

Oldendorf: This year, we’re going to have our own Deutsches Haus-labeled beer in time for Oktoberfest made by 40 Arpent Brewing in St. Bernard Parish. On the menu, we have many of the same dishes that are traditional and have been popular in years past, including schnitzel, beef sauerbraten, big pretzels and a German-style pizza called flammkuchen.

We have between 15,000 and 20,000 people attend our Oktoberfest celebration every year. It was biggest when we moved from our old location to the new space we’re using now in Kenner, and we’re hoping it will continue to grow when we move again into our new home on Bayou St. John.

BEER buzz Beers from 10 Louisiana breweries will be available in New Orleans starting in November, when Shreveport’s Great Raft Brewing (www.greatraftbrewing. com) enters the market. The brewery served its beer in the city for the first time as a production brewery at New Orleans On Tap, the beer-focused LA/ SPCA fundraiser held in New Orleans City Park Sept. 27.

“We’ve always aimed to get down [to New Orleans] as soon as possible and made some strategic decisions to introduce the brand before the chaos of Mardi Gras,” says Great Raft co-founder Lindsay Nations. “We do hope to see packages (of our beer) in the market by parade season but wanted to have some additional time to introduce our products on draft first.”

New Orleans On Tap attendees were able to sample one of Great Raft’s flagship beers, Reasonably Corrupt, a black lager, as well as its most recent small batch, At Arm’s Length, which is described as an “imperial pale lager.” ”We are proud to make beer in Louisiana for Louisiana,” says Great Raft co-founder and President Andrew Nations. “We are eager to finally share our beers with south Louisiana.”

According to Great Raft’s announcement, Reasonably Corrupt black lager, Southern Drawl pale lager and Commotion pale ale, which are Great Raft’s original flagship beers, will be available on tap throughout the New Orleans market in early November. Seasonal and small-batch offerings such as India pale lager At Arm’s Length, double India pale ale Grace and Grit and hoppy, Belgian-style All My Tomorrows will be selectively available as well.

Crescent Crown will distribute Great Raft in New Orleans, and the Nations say that they hope to expand to Baton Rouge and the Northshore in 2015.

WINE of the week

2011 Bere Toscana Rosso, IGT T US C A N Y, I TA LY RETAIL $11

This baby Super Tuscan was produced in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti region at the family-owned Fattoria Viticcio estate, founded in 1960. Now operated by the family’s second generation, 75 acres of the estate are vineyards that are farmed biodynamically. The Super Tuscan tag refers to wine made in the region with the addition of grapes not native to the area’s traditional winemaking. Beginning in the 1970s, innovative Tuscan vintners started producing wines made with Bordeaux grapes and blends of those grapes with sangiovese, the region’s most significant varietal. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification was created for this category of wines. After harvest and vinification, this blend of 50 percent sangiovese, 25 percent merlot and 25 percent cabernet sauvignon was aged primarily in large traditional Slovenian oak barrels (called botti) before bottling. In the glass, the wine offers aromas of red berries, herbs and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, taste currants, plum, red and black berries, earth and spice notes, well-integrated tannins and good acidity on the finish. Open and aerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with muffulettas, stuffed artichokes, salumi, veal scaloppine, Italian sausage, roasted or fried eggplant, pasta Bolognese, pizza, prosciutto, Parmigiano-Reggiano and basil pesto with ciabatta bread.

Canned chicken “No one in fast food has ever done anything like this. It’s not about the beer. It’s about the flavor. ... It captures the flavors found in beer can chicken. ... Given that we capture the flavors, we decided it was OK to do it.”

— Popeyes chief marketing officer Hector Munoz, quoted in a USA Today story about the company’s new Beer Can Chicken, which is fried and involves neither beer, beer cans or a whole chicken. It’s available at Popeyes through Oct. 25. It’s one of several beer-flavored items being offered by food companies courting the craft beer market.

what to know before you go

Opening lines The New Movement opens on St. Claude Avenue.

By Will Coviello

I

there after Hurricane Katrina. Both are New Orleans-area natives, and they lived in Austin for five years before returning to open a theater here. The Austin theater was successful from the beginning, and it helped them learn the ropes of running a business and comedy theater, Nelson says.

Having two theaters puts them in the company of some big names in the comedy business, such as Chicago’s Second City, and not just in figures. A successful $50,000 Kickstarter campaign helped them move into the new space, and it garnered some support on national comedy blogs. (Trew notes that much of the campaign was not asking for donations but asking people to pay for show tickets and classes in advance.) The theater acts as a landing pad for touring comedians, and Trew says they can help comedians fill slots throughout the region, from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to Baton Rouge to Houston and Austin.

The theater also is a training ground for their vision of improv.

“One of things that differentiates us from other theaters is we don’t take suggestions at the top of our scene,” Nelson says. “You’ll never have a host come out and say ‘OK everybody, we need a suggestion for something you like to throw in a smoothie?’

“When we opened New Movement, we were like, ‘We hate suggestions. It feels dumb. Let’s not ever do it.’”

Taking suggestions is one of the ways to show an audience that a Chris Trew and Tami Nelson performance is truly improvised, are set to open the new but they think the convention is New Movement theater on gimmicky. It’s one of many improv St. Claude Avenue. norms they’d like to kill.

P H O TO BY C HERY L G ERBER “Improv had a bad reputation for so long,” Nelson says. “When improv got nationally popular through Whose Line is it Anyway?, all these college troupes formed and they’re all called ‘Banana Giggles.’ Whose Line was great. But I loved it when I was a child. You come out onstage with a curly red wig and a T-shirt that says ‘Fart’ on it. You’ve got a big foam finger and (you say) ‘I need a suggestion for something that you might find in a trunk.’ It has this old, roadside hotel kind of entertainment feel. It doesn’t feel modern. It feels old and done and easy to make fun of.”

They schedule improv, stand-up and sketch comedy at The New Movement. At Hell Yes Fest (Nov. 12-16, www.hellyesfest.com), they’ll feature less stand-up than in recent years and host more alternative types of improv. They’ll also take advantage of the neighborhood and use several venues within walking distance. They plan to sell festival wristbands so attendees can easily take in multiple events, and they’re lining up food trucks to sell refreshments. It’s taking shape in the style of Austin’s South by Southwest, Trew says.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 7 > 2014

n their first show (in front of a private audience) at the soon to be opened theater space at The New Movement’s new building at 2706 St. Claude Ave., longtime improv duo and theater founders Chris Trew and Tami Nelson delve into a scene playing strangers meeting in a bar. He’s wearing a purple cardigan and his head is cocked back, displaying his full beard. She stares at him serenely. They’re teasing out the awkwardness of the situation, exchanging odd compliments and half truths to be embellished and twisted later.

“What brings you here?” Nelson asks, miming drinking eagerly from cocktails in both hands.

“I came on a horse,” Trew says, twisting her meaning.

“A horse?” she says. “You mean that literally?”

“Yes,” Trew responds. “We can take a ride on my horse.”

“We can ride your horse, literally?” Nelson asks.

“Yes, literally,” Trew says. “If you know what I mean.”

The banter continues, prolonging the flirtation and tension without letting it spin off into absurdity. The scene changes to an adult kickball team plagued by incompetence following a coach who’s about to give up on the team himself, and back to the couple, now in a hotel room, and back to the kickball team as it defies its own haplessness.

Nelson and Trew share a natural rapport and they’re creating their own brand of improv via The New Movement (www.newmovementtheater.com), which took another step in its growth, moving into its new space, or “campus” as they are calling it, from its former location on Burgundy Street, which opened in 2012. They began classes at the new site in early August and were due for a city inspection Oct. 3 to get approval to open the theater. In the meantime, they’re breaking in the space with private events.

The former theater had a larger performance space, but essentially only one room. The St. Claude space has a first floor theater equipped with more seating and there are plans for a bar. Its second floor has room for an office, a classroom, a small studio to record podcasts and another video room with a green screen, as well as a green room for performers.

“Our long-term goal was to have a space like this,” Trew says. “We had people downstairs rehearsing a sketch show. Then I walk through upstairs and Tami is teaching class, someone is writing, and there’s so much going on. It’s so cool.”

The two are making a living as comedians, including performing, teaching improv classes, touring and now renting recording and video studio space to others at the new campus. A total of 120 students are enrolled in current classes and there is a waiting list. There’s also a New Movement theater in Austin, Texas, which the two founded when they evacuated

“I can’t see the future/ But I know it’s got big plans for me,” Annie Clark presaged on Actor, her breakthrough second LP as St. Vincent.

Clearly, she can. Both her music (convention-defying, anxiety-ridden, digitally enhanced) and self (robotic dance moves, a shock of chameleonic locks, glowing emerald eyes) seem like visionary gifts from the future — or, if you prefer, the past (sub in her classical arrangements and prodigious performances; chanteuse beauty and skin so fair it’s not fair). David Bowie famously called Lorde the sound of tomorrow, but it’s St. Vincent’s yesterday she’s channeling. (Please, Mr. Bowie, compare “Royals” to “Landmines.”) Clark is rewriting pop history as she goes: Each of her four albums has sat comfortably among their respective best-of lists, even though there’s nothing remotely comfortable about them. Marry Me, Actor and Strange Mercy are exquisite, elaborate constructions, highwire acts hooked by impossible guitar, indelible melody and superb weirdness; together, they form an impressive creative throughput to this, her Champagne year. February’s self-titled release is the culmination of everything that came before: spectral-orchestral swells, jarring outbursts and needling solos, emboldened by a new sense of freedom and purpose; strutting singles “Birth in Reverse” and “Digital Witness” reveal a peacock in full plumage. “I prefer your love to Jesus’,” she sings, recalling her debut’s defiant “Jesus Saves, I Spend,” again conflating the heretical and spiritual. Somewhere in between, the porcelain doll on that cover cracked and hatched the alien queen on this one. Matthew E. White opens. Tickets $37 (including fees). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Rock ’n’ roll and the movies have not always enjoyed the most harmonious of marriages. Documentaries and concert films seldom capture the magic of life-changing music, and occasional gems like Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense or The Band’s The Last Waltz seem like exceptions that prove the rule.

Many of the great narrative rock movies Good Vibrations OCT use real life as jumping-off points for 7:30 p.m. Sunday fantasy or satire, relying on humor and visual style to reflect rock’s anarchic Prytania Theatre, spirit — A Hard Day’s Night, Rock ‘n’ 5339 Prytania St. Roll High School and This Is Spinal Tap (504) 891-2787 are prime examples. Another is Irish indie Good Vibrations, which gets one www.prytaniathescreening in the New Orleans Irish Film atreneworleans.com Festival. Good Vibrations tells the mostly true story of Terri Hooley, the “godfather of Belfast punk” who founded a record shop and label against all odds in war-torn Northern Ireland in the late 1970s. It’s an instant classic and the first film of any type to conjure the sheer exuberance and do-it-yourself ethos of the punk era almost 40 years after the fact.

Good Vibrations is set during what many in Northern Ireland call “the troubles,” a time when the idealism and progressive politics of the 1960s gave way to civil war between Protestant loyalists and Catholic nationalists. The once-thriving capital city of Belfast became a dangerous, burned-out shell of its former self. Local DJ and music connoisseur Hooley decided the best way to take back his city was to open a record shop called Good Vibrations on Belfast’s Great Victoria Street, known as “bomb alley.” Punk rock arrived soon after, and Hooley found kindred spirits among now legendary young bands like The Undertones, The Outcasts and Rudi, and resolved to bring their life-affirming defiance to the world — one 7-inch vinyl single at a time — in an era when music was the exclusive province of large corporations.

On only their second feature, husband-and-wife co-directors Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn artfully cut copious archival footage into their film without letting it overtake Hooley’s tale. A sublime soundtrack balances punk with everything from Hank Williams to Lee “Scratch” Perry’s dub reggae. Seasoned theater artist (and Northern Ireland native) Richard Dormer nails Hooley’s maniacal drive to create community among the ruins. An eight-minute sequence that begins with Hooley quietly discovering he’s recorded a classic, The Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks” — and ends with the film joyously blasting the song into our ears — might move you to tears. Good Vibrations wears its heart on its tattered sleeve, declaring the power of music to make us laugh in the face of despair.

Imagined Shores: Sculptures

by Raine Bedsole Callan Contemporary 518 Julia St., (504) 525-0518; www.callancontemporary.com

“To disappear into deep water or to disappear toward a far horizon, to be part of the depth of infinity, such is the destiny of man that finds its image in the destiny of water.”

So said the most poetic of French philosophers, Gaston Bachelard. His words may be taken literally — as some Miami residents whose streets now flood at high tide have found — or figuratively, as his book title, Water and Dreams, implies. Longtime New Orleans resident and coastal Alabama native Raine Bedsole is no stranger to flooding, but her water-inspired sculptures suggest vessels that connect the seas of primordial memory with the tides of imagination. Life began in ancient seas and our bodies are mostly water, but civilization was our response to the elements, and therein lies a paradox, a puzzle for engineers and poets.

Engineers would not approve of the vessel Aeolus, (pictured, upper right) a skeletal canoe that seems to hover in space as crystalline drops fall from its spindly ribs like vastly oversized tears. What it means will vary with the viewer but, like a ghost boat in magic realist fiction, it seems to ply etheric currents in a sea of dreams. Others look equally gossamer, whether made from steel rods shaped like reeds or clad in paper as sheer as the lanterns Brazilians set float for All Saints Day. Imagined Islands suggests a spindly seed pod, but pages from antique books appear embedded in its silk fabric skin. The creations of man and nature are similarly interwoven in her works on paper, whimsical drawings of trees, structures and coral reefs on collaged backings of vintage book covers. Even Tower of Babel, in this context, recalls the spiraling interior of a nautilus shell. Bedsole’s bronzes are more substantial, but their repetition of iconic forms reinforces the subtle elemental subtext that underlies this show — namely the way all things created by man and nature are ultimately interwoven, connected by subtle but imperishable bonds that can be bent but never broken. — D.

8 p.m. Tuesday.

At a funeral parlor across the street from Memphis Lee’s diner in Pittsburgh, the neighborhood’s Reverend “Prophet Samuel” has been laid rest. The year is 1969 and around the city, people rally for civil rights. Amid the turmoil, Lee is being forced to sell his business, a place where people in the neighborhood hang out.

Two Trains Running, recently presented by the Anthony Bean Community Theater, was written by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright August Wilson and is part of his 10-play Pittsburgh Cycle, featuring decade-by-decade stories of African-American life in the 20th century. This show takes place entirely in Lee’s restaurant, which is represented at Bean theater by a stage filled with tables, chairs and a bar.

Neighborhood happenings are relayed over morning coffee and meatloaf.

As part of a revitalization plan, the city is buying properties and wants Lee’s (Wilbert Williams Jr.) restaurant, but he will not settle for the amount he has been offered. As Lee, Williams is natural onstage and gives his character a skillful range — cracking jokes one minute and venting righteous anger the next. His regular customers include the lanky and gossip-stirring Holloway (Alphe Williams) and Wolf (Dwight E. Clay), the “numbers” man who takes bets every morning. Clay gives a charismatic performance as the slick-talking womanizer.

Another customer, Hambone (Harold X. Evans), is devastated by the neighborhood’s social and economic decline. For nine years, he has gotten up every morning to stand outside an adjacent business and demand payment (a ham) for labor he completed. Evans gives a surprising amount of depth to his two repeated lines of: “I want my ham!” and “He gonna give me my ham!” Hambone, though homeless and downtrodden, is extremely persistent. He becomes a symbol of neighborhood resistance, but his troubled plight drives much of Act 2.

The show spans six days, during which Sterling (Roscoe Reddix Jr.) is released from the penitentiary.

He finds his spot at the restaurant and sets out to find a job. Sterling also flirts with Risa (Coti Sterling Gayles), who doubles as the restaurant’s cook and waitress. At first Risa wants nothing to do with Sterling. To ward off male advances, she once took a razor to her legs, leaving long scars. The two develop a friendship that eventually leads to a deeper connection. The sprouting of that relationship felt rushed, but the two actors shared great chemistry onstage. Gayles showed control over her emotions and reactions to bad news, though Risa becomes unhinged as the neighborhood devolves into an increasingly frantic environment.

Two Trains Running emotionally explores social and economic plights of blacks in the late 1960s.

While there are plenty of laughs — the characters greatly enjoy ribbing each other — the narrative bluntly deals with the era’s racial attitudes. It was an impressive production, featuring a great script and some of the theater’s most talented actors. — TYLER GILLESPIE
