Dan Savage’s Hump! Film Festival comes to New Orleans

Mr. Universe album release

BY WILL COVIELLO

FRI. NOV. 11 | Adam Campagna’s Everything’s Good/It’s Not Working (Moderate Fidelity), the New Orleans musician’s debut as singersongwriting alter ego Mr. Universe, is powered by a warm, Muzak-y Roland Rhythm 77 drum machine, pushing along his golden AM radio- and country-influenced bedroom powerpop. Singer-songwriters Kristin Diable and Guts Club open at 9 p.m. at Sidney’s Saloon.

WITH ALL THE PORNOGRAPHY AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET, it

wouldn’t seem like a porn film festival would attract people to a theater. But the Hump! Film Festival is not your average porn. “Hump porn is made for all the right reasons,” says festival founder and sex advice columnist Dan Savage via phone from Seattle. “It’s what (the filmmakers) want to do. It’s something they enjoy. It’s something they want to share. You never look at a Hump porn thinking ‘How bad should I feel for watching this?’” There are 22 films in the 20152016 “festival,” all of them under five minutes and screening together in one 90-minute show. While there are some comic films that just use sex as a subject, most of the films feature full nudity, some have gentle sex, others have boisterous romps and a few orgies, including one costumed extravaganza culminating on a trampoline in a music video parody of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.” New Orleanians can see the films Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11-12, at The Broad Theater. After the tour, the film will be destroyed, and none of the movies are posted online by Hump. That’s part of the deal offered to amateur filmmakers for sharing their intimate thoughts. “You have people making films with their friends and lovers that’s an expression of their unique sexuality, sexual interests, sexual expression, their gender expression (for an) audience — for 98 percent of whom this isn’t the kind of porn they would ever watch,” Savage says. “But if there is real passion in the film, real humor and the film is sexy, these audiences — that are almost overwhelmingly not into whatever these films are about — will vote it up and give it an award. That’s kind of moving.” In the 2016 slate, Savage likes two films in particular. In its sweetest film, Hysterical Bullshit, a woman gets

Treme Creole Gumbo Festival

excited while reading heated diatribes from Mike Huckabee’s God, Guns, Grits and Gravy. Lube Dispenser is an “unsettling and kinky” film featuring two people wearing animal masks who have highly fetish-y sex in the woods near someone (a hunter?) whom they’ve restrained. The film strives to include a full gamut of sexuality, from masturbation to straight and gay sex to a couple of transgender women copulating during voiced-over interviews about what gets them excited. The slickly shot Cake Boss features closeups of two beautiful bodies as a man pours baking ingredients over a woman’s body. Two Boys and a Rope is an elaborate hotel sex interlude involving restraints and a bright blue pair of Seattle Seahawks socks. A trio of comedies is hilarious, but their subjects likely would keep them out of most film festivals. In Collector, a man gives a tour of his cluttered home’s assortment of jars and containers of semen, all hilariously labeled and explained. In Film Bonoir, two men imagine a sexual encounter as a puppet film noir mystery caper — starring penises costumed in

Sex advice columnist Dan Savage founded the Hump! Film Festival.

NOV. 11-12 HUMP! FILM FESTIVAL 7:30 P.M. & 9:30 P.M. FRIDAY-SATURDAY THE BROAD THEATRE, 636 N. BROAD ST., (504) 218-1008; WWW.THEBROADTHEATER.COM WWW.HUMPFILMFEST.COM TICKETS $20

SAT.-SUN. NOV. 12-13 | The free festival features music by brass bands including Rebirth, Soul Rebels, Hot 8, To Be Continued, Treme, Panorama and others. There’s also all sorts of gumbo (seafood, chicken and andouille, gumbo z’herbes, file, gluten-free and vegan) and cooking demonstrations. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Louis Armstrong Park.

Yeasayer SUN. NOV. 13 | After proving it could write an indelible anthem — 2007 bow “2080” — Yeasayer seems to have spent the rest of its career proving it could screw one up. This is, in a strange way, just as big of a compliment: Amen & Goodbye (Mute), like Future World and Odd Blood before it, refuses to toe any one straight line. Lydia Ainsworth opens at 9 p.m. at Republic.

Peter Hook and the Light tiny wigs and googly eyes. Let’s Try to F—k apes a particular style of “educational” film popular in grindhouse theaters — in a black-andwhite movie with a cheery narrator in which a nerdy young man learns the ropes of finding sex partners. “Compared to what people can see on their phones, Hump is practically wholesome,” Savage says.

MON. NOV. 14 | Peter Hook has assumed responsibility as the selfappointed historian for legacy bands Joy Division and New Order, bringing the post-punk and New Wave classics out of the shrines and back into the clubs. Here he performs the entirety of the Substance compilations, which might be gimmicky if not for the presence of the bassist who defines them. At 8 p.m. at Republic.

I-10 News on the move with the Clinton campaign. Brazile has denied wrongdoing in a series of carefully phrased statements, but CNN issued a statement saying, “We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign.” Brazile was vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee and served as interim chair during much of the 2016 campaign.

1. ZEPHYRS GET NEW NAME NEXT WEEK

Next week, the New Orleans Zephyrs will be gone for good. The team will announce its new crowdsourced name at a home field ceremony Tuesday, Nov. 15. The event is closed to the public, but fans can watch the unveiling via Facebook Live beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Triple-A ball club fielded criticism, or at least snark, earlier this year when it revealed the seven contenders for its new name. But unless this all has been a giant publicity stunt, the team formerly known as Zephyrs will become either the Baby Cakes, the Cajun Crawfish, the King Cakes, the Night Owls, the Po’boys, the Red Eyes or the Tailgators. (Unfortunately, “none of the above” is not an option.)

2. Quote of the week “This Senate race has been colorful in the way that Louisiana politics can be. One candidate suggested he would prefer drinking weedkiller to keeping Obamacare; there was an ad starring a terrorist goat; and there have been allegations of hiring prostitutes — something that has dogged the incumbent (David) Vitter, who lost the governor’s race last year to Democrat John Bel Edwards.” — National Public Radio’s Debbie Elliott, reporting on the Louisiana U.S. Senate debate held by Raycom Media that featured white supremacist David Duke. (See Commentary, p. 8, and News, p. 10.)

3. Isaacson to City

Planning Commission

Writer and editor Walter Isaacson was named to the City Planning Commission last week by Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Isaacson, a New Orleans native, now serves at the head of the Aspen Institute, a Washington D.C.based think tank, and is the chairman emeritus of Teach for America. He also served as editor of TIME magazine and president of CNN. “As we approach our city’s tricentennial celebration in

2018, I am confident Walter will serve as a change agent and ambassador as we continue our march to building the New Orleans of our dreams,” Landrieu said in a statement.

4. Main library to

close for two weeks

The New Orleans Public Library’s main branch will be closed for repairs Dec. 5 through Dec. 18, according to a memo from city librarian Charles Brown. The renovation will include a complete replacement of the building’s main electrical circuit, which was installed when the library was built in 1958. Two of the library’s other 13 branches currently are closed: the Nix Library in Carrollton closed for its own renovations in mid-October, while the Mid-City Library closed Oct. 22 in preparation for moving to its new location in the former Automotive Life Insurance Building on Canal Street. That opening date is scheduled for sometime around Thanksgiving.

Jeff Parish School Board, Chamber of Commerce slam Yenni The board of directors of the Jefferson Chamber

of Commerce formally requested last week that scandal-plagued Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni step down. It was the end to a week in which the Jefferson school board voted unanimously to forbid Yenni from going to any school facilities. (He already had been banned from New Orleans Catholic archdiocesan schools.) It’s the latest rebuke for Yenni, who is the subject of a recall petition and who has been asked to step down by the parish council, as well as the city councils of Kenner and Harahan and a number of Jefferson Parish public officials. Speaking to WVUE-TV last week, Yenni called the school board ban “a little outlandish,” and repeated that he had no intention of resigning. “You know, anything that I’ve done has not affected my oath of office,” he said.

Donna Brazile out at CNN Kenner-born political advisor and pundit Donna Brazile offered her resignation to CNN last month after a WikiLeaks hack of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails revealed Brazile had shared at least one debate question

New Orleans District B City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell introduced a resolution Nov. 3 to promote “the elimination of hate, violence and discrimination against any constituents or citizens.” The resolution, in advance of the Nov. 8 election, condemns “all hateful speech and violent action directed at Muslims, those perceived to be Muslims, immigrants and people of color,” and “rejects political tactics that use fear to manipulate voters or to gain power or influence.” “In this election season, we have seen dangerous levels of anti-Muslim and racist rhetoric,” Cantrell said, adding that “this resolution sends a clear message that love really does trump hate,” echoing a popular anti-Donald Trump refrain. The resolution also says the council commits to policy agendas affirming civil and human rights, and “reaffirms the value of a pluralistic society, the beauty of a culture composed of multiple cultures, and the inalienable right of every person to live and practice their faith without fear.”

8. Maureen Dowd coming to Tulane

Maureen Dowd, the acid-tongued, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist known for her acerbic political commentary and insider-y conversations with Washington bigwigs, will speak at Tulane University’s Lavin-Bernick Center Nov. 16. Dowd will discuss the peculiarities of this election cycle as explained in her book The Year of Voting Dangerously: The Derangement of American Politics. The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public. Admission is free. A book signing follows.

9. Hollywood South impacts in N.O.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s Office of Cultural Economy says the city lost roughly 1,000 jobs following the Louisiana Legislature’s cap on the state’s film tax credits program. At a budget hearing in front of the New Orleans City Council Nov. 2, Scott Hutcheson, adviser to the mayor for cultural economy, said the region saw a considerable drop in the number of film projects in town, and fewer productions want to start work in the state and risk not receiving an exemption if reimbursements hit the $180 million cap. According to Hutcheson, the New Orleans area saw a $200 million drop in film-related spending since the 2015 decision by the state Legislature.

10.

Benefits for musician Dave Rosser Longtime New Orleanian Dave Rosser — guitarist for Afghan Whigs, Gutter Twins and The Twilight Singers — recently was diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer. Afghan Whigs will host two benefit performances in December — in New Orleans and Los Angeles — with all proceeds going toward Rosser’s medical care. At the Civic Theatre Dec. 10, the band will perform all of 1996’s Black Love on its 20th anniversary, with Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age), Ani DiFranco, Morning 40 Federation, King James & the Special Men, and CC Adcock & the Lafayette Marquis. The show is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50. “Dave Rosser has been my close friend and bandmate for over a decade now,” Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli said in a statement. “By doing these shows for him we hope to ease any financial stress he may face as he pursues treatment to combat his illness. [One hundred percent] of the proceeds for these shows will go to his medical care. I’m hopeful that folks will come out and show their support for Dave who will be performing with us.” The band also performs Dec. 14 at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, with Lanegan, Carina Round and Moby.

continued to run misleading attack ads falsely linking her main Democratic U.S. Senate opponent Foster Campbell to white supremacist David Duke. The ad takes a brief Campbell quote far out of context to claim he “sided with David Duke,” the neo-Nazi and former Ku Klux Klan leader who is running as a Republican in the same race.

sponsored by Raycom Media and staged in the rented Georges Auditorium at Dillard University, was a disservice to everyone concerned — the students and faculty at Dillard, the serious candidates and the public. Not just because of the inclusion of former KKK leader, neoNazi and convicted swindler David Duke, but also because of the exclusion of oncampus voices that will matter long after Duke returns to fleecing haters on the world’s fringes. Dillard, a prominent historically black university, has educated generations of scholars through the days of segregation, the civil rights movement and today. Duke’s appearance on campus Nov. 2, even for one hour, was an insult, though it could never tarnish Dillard’s legacy. Raycom, however, missed a larger chance for civic engagement by holding the debate without an audience. The decision to hold a closed debate was made in September, when Raycom first approached Dillard about hosting the debate. At that time, the participating candidates were not yet determined. According to Raycom’s rules, the bar for inclusion was achieving 5 percent support or more in a statewide poll. Duke managed that — barely — but only in a Raycomcommissioned poll that showed him at 5.1 percent. That poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, was an outlier; all others showed him at or below 3 percent. “Pretty clear polling rigged as Trump would say for ratings,” Dillard University President Walter M. Kimbrough tweeted the morning of the debate. “Any protests become part of reality show masquerading as news. #WakeUp.” There’s no proof that the poll was rigged, but Raycom still should have considered the totally predictable, incendiary repercussions of hosting Louisiana’s most infamous white supremacist on one of New Orleans’ premier black campuses. What began as a peaceful protest soon turned ugly. Duke arrived on campus and tweeted an image of a firebombed black church with the

taunting caption, “Hey brotha...watcha doin?” He screamed at debate moderator John Snell of WVUETV and spewed anti-Semitic bilge on live national TV, derailing any attempt at honest debate. Raycom, which had barred press as well as students, let C-SPAN broadcast the event, thereby giving Duke an hour of prime-time national television to spread his toxic message and give Louisiana a black eye. Outside, ten-

Raycom Media owes Dillard, the candidates and the viewing public an apology. sions rose so high that some who tried to enter Georges Auditorium forcibly were pushed back by police, then pepper-sprayed — along with some in the media, who were there to document the event. The debate itself went so far off the rails that Snell called for closing statements early, with almost 10 minutes left in the hour, forcing him to reopen the debate to fill time. When the debacle finally ended, the other candidates quickly got away from Duke. The last image on TV screens was Duke, alone, gesticulating and yelling to an empty auditorium. Raycom Media owes Dillard, the candidates and the viewing public an apology. This “debate” was a breathtakingly ugly spectacle. Given the tenor of this campaign season, that’s saying a lot.

Dillard students protest Duke BY ALEX WOODWARD |

@ALEXWOODWARD

THE ADMISSION OF WHITE SUPREMACIST, FORMER KU KLUX KLANSMAN AND NEO-NAZI DAVID DUKE INTO A DEBATE AT A HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITY ended

with several arrests, campus police using pepper spray on protesting students and a shamefully unsubstantial U.S. Senate debate. Protesters at Dillard University demanded Duke be removed from campus and for the university to condemn his campaign, but as protests continued outside the doors of the Georges Auditorium, police pepper sprayed the crowd, sending protesters running for cover. Several people were detained as they tried to make their way inside. Six people, including one Dillard student, were arrested for obstructing traffic after blocking cars — including a police cruiser transporting Duke — from passing the school’s front gate. (Charges were dropped Nov. 4.) Students were anxious, scared and frustrated with other protesters and fellow students, but none was defeated. Passing a microphone to students and supporters throughout the night, each speaker celebrated the history of the university, the civil rights advocates who came before them, and their goals for social and racial justice long after Duke’s appearance. But all criticized the university’s administration for allowing him to be there. The debate — closed to the public and the press — was produced by WVUE-TV and Raycom Media, which commissioned a poll determining candidate eligibility. Duke squeaked into the running at a barely eligible 5 percent support, though the poll’s margin of error was 4 percent. Most statewide polls have had him at 3 percent. Dillard President Walter Kimbrough was skeptical of the poll. “Pretty clear polling rigged as (Donald) Trump would say for ratings,” Kimbrough wrote on Twitter Nov. 2. “Any protests become part of reality show masquerading as news #WakeUp.” In an open letter, a group calling itself Socially Engaged Dillard University Students demanded the university withdraw from the debate. “His presence on our campus is not welcome and overtly subjects the entire student body to safety risks and social ridicule,” the group’s statement read. “This is simply outrageous.”

“We cannot and will not allow this disrespect and continuance of racism and oppression on a campus we call ours (the black community),” the statement continued. “Arguments that Dillard ‘must’ honor its commitment to WVUE and Raycom Media, are, respectfully, specious.” The group also pointed out the irony in the administration’s assurance for Duke’s safety using armed police “against us, the Dillard University student body.” The group demanded that all non-permitted vehicles be parked off campus, a lottery process to allow 150 students to sit in the audience, a statement from the university condemning David Duke, permission to perform an on-campus protest, and to direct all payments from WVUE and Raycom to “events planned by students in response to the impact of racism on politics.” According to the group, Kimbrough and the Dillard administration didn’t respond. In an Nov. 3 interview with Jarvis DeBerry of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, Kimbrough said he had considered dropping out of hosting the debate but was told not to by legal counsel, who warned of “bad press” and possible lawsuits. Following the debate, Dillard spokesman David M. Grubb said the university “honored [its] commitment as host. … Ultimately, and unfortunately, the selection of the next senator from our state became a secondary issue as the focus centered on the University’s response to protests on the campus.” Grubb said Dillard did not discourage protests and it “shared a dual responsibility of providing a safe space for those protesters and for the orderly management of the event.” Around 5 p.m. outside Dillard’s gates, Dillard students and supporters from Take ’Em Down NOLA, among other community groups, made signs (“Duke Off,” “Students United Against Racism”) and rallied using a megaphone as cars in traffic honked their horns in support. Veteran organizer and activist Malcolm Suber led a call-andresponse chant of “Kimbrough says get back, we say fight back.” Suber said Kimbrough should’ve held a press conference to denounce Duke and announce that Dillard wouldn’t host the debate. “People tear up contracts every day,” he later said. “If he

was a self-respecting black man he would’ve torn up contracts,” He also called Kimbrough a “sell out” and an “Uncle Tom” who was “selling out our interests for a few pieces of silver.” Protests outside the auditorium grew louder as the 7 p.m. start time for the debate neared. Police forced the doors closed; protesters tried to pry them open. The university’s Vice President of Student Success Roland Bullard Jr. stepped outside to ask them to stop. “I have no issue with people protesting,” he said, pleading with people to back away from the door. Tevon Blair, president of Dillard Student Government, which hosted a separate debate watch party, also asked whether the protest was effective, and whether the protesters even knew the other candidates in the race. As Dillard University Police Department (DUPD) officers clashed at the auditorium entrance, they pepper-sprayed people holding the door, sending the gas-like spray into the crowd. Legal observers and TV news camera operators attending the protest also were hit by the spray. Protesters huddled together to rinse people’s eyes with water. After another clash, with more pepper spray, protesters handed out small bottles of milk to treat faces. (In a statement, the New Orleans Police Department clarified it does not use or carry pepper spray, as per the federal consent decree.) As the protest became “less peaceful,” according to Grubb, “as a last resort, DUPD made the decision to use pepper spray to stop the advancement of the crowd. After a second attempt to enter the building, officers again utilized pepper spray as a deterrent.” Dillard student Faith Flugence, addressing the crowd from a mic, said, “The administration can’t be proud of us for being out here today, and that’s a problem.” At the end of the debate, the crowd moved to another door, hoping to see the candidates leaving the building. As it pressed up against another door, with more police, a 28-year veteran officer had stepped outside to ask the crowd to get quiet. “This is not the first time I’m dealing with David Duke,” he said, getting choked up. “I didn’t like it, but I had to do it.” The crowd roared at him: “You don’t have to do it!”

The future of RTA Among the new options discussed: income-based fares and a partnership with ride-sharing services like Uber. BY ROBERT MORRIS |

@UPTOWNMESSENGER

AS THE NEW ORLEANS REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY (RTA) LOOKS FOR WAYS TO GROW PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN THE CITY, officials are

considering new options such as a partnership with Uber to help commuters reach transit lines or a new fare system based on riders’ incomes. Those ideas and more were discussed by RTA General Manager Justin Augustine and other advocates Tuesday night during a panel discussion called “Intersection: Public Transit, Jobs & Prosperity in NOLA” as part of The Big Issue series at Tulane Hillel. A possible Uber partnership would give the RTA more flexibility and options as a “last-mile, first-mile solution,” Augustine said, either getting people to the bus or streetcar stop from their homes, or getting them home from the transit line after they disembark. Such “personalized service” comes with an additional price, of course, but public transportation systems around the country are experimenting with ways to subsidize those rides, Augustine said. “Working-class folks who don’t have a lot of money are spending a fortune on cabs and other services,” said Flozell Daniels of the Foundation for Louisiana, who also is an RTA board member. “If we can make it so they only spend the public transit fare and then a little more — we want to explore the ideas.” Atlanta integrates an Uber pickup option in the city’s public transportation MARTA app, while Portland, Oregon includes Lyft pricing on its public-transit app. Around Tampa, riders pay a $3 flat fee for an Uber ride to transit stations, with the agency picking up the rest. Denver is collaborating with Lyft on free rides from its light-rail stations. “How do we structure a deal like this? How do we subsidize it?” Augustine said. “We have to go through all the analyses, but I tell you, we are exploring it.” Transit advocates are intrigued by these kinds of partnerships, said Alex Posorske, director of RIDE New Orleans. Every transit agency has far-flung routes with low ridership, and those potentially could be truncated or even eliminated for significant cost savings if contracting with Uber proves cheaper for the agency. Ride-sharing services have faced accusations of underpaying their

drivers, however, and transit unions likely would not take kindly to their employees being replaced in such a way. Uber and Lyft are relatively new business models as well, Posorske said, and public agencies may not want to stake their futures on them. To bridge those concerns, Posorske said, some communities like Kansas City, Missouri are using ride-sharing apps to hail public transit vehicles with the agency’s drivers. Such a compromise may represent a better use of the technology without handing over the public service to a private company. “They’re still saving money, because they’re only going out there when people actually need it,” Posorske said. “It’s sort of like halfway between paratransit and fixed route, but it’s working really well for them.” Meanwhile, the fares for public transportation have remained at $1.25 for 16 years, Augustine said — and really average to only 91 cents per rider after various discounts are included. Part of the reason, he noted, is that the RTA’s governing board does not have the power to change fares — that has to be done by the New Orleans City Council, where there is an obvious disinclination to do so. “There’s real political pressure not to raise fares,” Daniels said. Many cities, however, are now experimenting with sliding price scales for monthly passes, based on riders’ incomes, Augustine said. In fact, many well-off riders — known as “choice” riders — have said pub-

licly they would be willing to pay more for more regular service that would allow them to avoid paying for parking or a private for-hire car, Augustine said, while discounted rates would actually be a form of economic stimulus for “dependent” riders who have no other options. “In neighborhoods that have higher income, those folks are willing to pay more,” Daniels said. “Folks who travel a lot, they understand that our transit is underpriced compared to other communities. And the reality is, if we don’t do something, we’re not going to get the transit we deserve.” Those options may sound like a pipe dream, but the RTA is about to engage in a major strategic planning process that could turn those goals and other ideas for expanding service into a reality. The kickoff for the new RTA master plan process is next week, and it likely will take 12 to 18 months to complete a document that can guide the RTA’s development for decades, Augustine predicted. “We want to give it time,” he said. — This story was produced with our partners at Uptown Messenger.

NOVEMBER 17TH 7:00-10:00 PM CITY PARK'S PAVILION OF THE TWO SISTERS

bizarre twists and turns of the 2016 election season — nationally and in Louisiana — one has to wonder if the madness really will be over when we wake up Wednesday morning (Nov. 9). Dear God, let it be so. Every time we thought this election couldn’t get any weirder, it did. Trump upended the GOP primaries. We felt the Bern. Hillary had an email scandal. The Russians hacked DNC servers and (allegedly) state voter databases. Video showed Trump making raw comments years ago about grabbing women “by the p—y.” Hillary had another email scandal. Trump has a man-crush on Vladimir Putin. The once-impenetrable FBI now leaks like a rusty faucet and plays politics like a Super PAC. Then there’s the Louisiana Senate race, which gave us the following gems: • “I’d rather drink weed killer.” • “I’m not opposed to all Jews.” • “Campbell sided with Duke.” • “ … and your goat.” Most of those quotes came before last week’s “debate” at Dillard University, which allowed neo-Nazi and convicted con man David Duke to spew his racist, anti-Semitic bile over national TV (see Commentary, p. 8). In some ways, that spectacle was the perfect ending — and the perfect metaphor — for this year’s elections: an electoral train wreck engineered by one out-ofcontrol candidate. Even after one Louisiana Senate candidate withdrew, the 23 remaining hopefuls still made it the most crowded statewide field in memory, if not history. That has made it very difficult even for most “major” candidates to distinguish themselves. The exceptions have been state Treasurer John Kennedy, who has run statewide at least nine times now, and Duke, who, well, you know…

Despite the officially nonpartisan nature of Tuesday’s “jungle” primary, Louisiana’s Senate race has devolved into two virtual primaries — one between the two leading Democrats (Caroline Fayard and Foster Campbell), and one among the three best-financed Republicans (Kennedy and U.S. Reps. Charles Boustany and John Fleming). Most polls have Kennedy out front by 5 to 7 percentage points, which suggests strongly that he will make the runoff, but otherwise polls have varied widely. Campbell, Fleming, Boustany and Fayard could finish in a tight bunch. Because voters know relatively little about most of the candidates, last-minute developments could make a difference. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand endorsed Boustany last week. Fayard’s attacks against Duke and against Campbell for “siding” with Duke, while roundly criticized, resonated among black voters. In New Orleans, several major black ballots carried both Campbell and Fayard as endorsed candidates. Fleming poured money into TV ads in the final days and appeared to benefit from the take-no-prisoners war between Kennedy and Boustany. No matter who makes the runoff, most local and national experts say Louisiana is likely to replace Vitter with a Republican. The only certainty is that the race will go to a Dec. 10 runoff. Hopefully, things will get back to normal after that. After this election season, however, I’m not sure what passes for “normal” anymore.

Hey Blake, What is going on with the old Jim Russell record shop on Magazine Street?

Dear reader, For nearly 50 years, Jim Russell Records store at 1837 Magazine St. was known as a music emporium with lots of old and rare recordings. It closed in January. Russell James Baumbach, better known as Jim Russell, founded the store in 1969 and ran the business until his death in July 2014 at age 94. A native of Pittsburgh, Russell got into the music business after World War II as a disc jockey and concert promoter. He came to New Orleans in 1955 after five years on the air in Ohio, where he met and worked with legendary disc jockey Alan Freed. Russell is credited with encouraging Freed to play “race music,” as music by black artists was called then. Freed later dubbed it rock ’n’ roll. The two also organized some of the first record hops and rock ’n’ roll concerts in the country, bringing the music to new, mostly white audiences.

After almost a half-century, Jim Russell Records has closed and the building is being renovated. P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

In New Orleans, Russell managed and worked with some of the leading disc jockeys of the day including Poppa Stoppa, Larry Regan and Jack the Cat. He organized record hops for the disc jockeys and shows by local musicians including Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, Smiley Lewis, Professor Longhair and others. After the British Invasion of the 1960s changed the music business, Russell opened his record shop, using some of the thousands of singles he had accumulated in his years as a promoter. Russell’s son and daughter-in-law operated the business for the past few years and sold the building earlier this year. They kept Russell’s collection, which numbers about 1 million records, and are contemplating reopening somewhere else or selling the entire collection. The building is under renovation and the new owner says plans for it are undecided.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK, AS AMERICA ELECTS ITS 45TH PRESIDENT, we look back on a

former commander-in-chief’s connections to Louisiana. Our 12th president, Zachary Taylor, was born in Virginia but lived here many years, including at the time of his election in 1848. Nicknamed “Old Rough and Ready,” Taylor had a distinguished career in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. His military service brought him to Louisiana in 1808. His daughter married Jefferson Davis, future president of the Confederacy, but Taylor was a staunch defender of the Union and vowed to keep the South and North united and to find a resolution to the debate over slavery, which already was dividing the country in the late 1840s. Taylor himself owned at least 300 slaves on his plantations in Baton Rouge and Mississippi. Elected on a Whig Party ticket with Vice President Millard Fillmore, he served only 16 months in the White House before dying of a digestive ailment in July 1850.

The festival returns for its third year Nov. 19-20 at the main branch of the New Orleans Public Library. “There’s this narrative that everything is digital and print is dying, and while I know the print industry is suffering on certain levels, that’s an experience of an upper-middle-class life,” Wilson says. “I know a lot of people in my neighborhood who don’t have smartphones, who don’t have computers.

WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHETHER PRINT IS “DEAD”? Who gets to survey everything

print — a medium that has been around for centuries and likely will continue until trees can’t be synthesized into some kind of paper — and say, “This no longer exists”? Newspapers, sure, are biting mouthfuls of dust as they compete with an online marketplace that has fueled journalistic mayhem, terrifyingly insipid “content” farms and an existential crisis in newsrooms around the world. Meanwhile, a zine writer is photocopying some pages, stapling them together and preparing to sit for a couple of hours at a table to sell them for a few dollars each. Or trade them for someone else’s. Also, Erin Wilson jokes (kind of) that when electricity is over and the govern-

BRANDON LEDET STARTED THE FILM WEBSITE SWAMPFLIX with a collective

of southeast Louisiana natives, then transformed their essays and idiosyncratic reviews into handwritten zines with lo-fi, high-contrast Sharpie illustrations. Inspired by zine makers at NOCAZ’s inaugural event, Ledet entered Swampflix into the festival for 2015 with zines about movies featuring killer ants, the films of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, a collection of its “movie of the month” features and writing about wrestling films. This year, Swamp Flix adds zines based on its Marvel Universe chat series Agents of S.W.A.M.P.F.L.I.X. “We were all laid off at the same time, so there was a gap where we didn’t have much to do, but we were still watching movies,” Ledet says. “I was reading

about movies every day and not writing. … It became a personal goal, ‘I’m going to post a movie review every day, since I’m watching films and I need to get the pen moving.’” New Orleans comic artist Caesar Meadows — whose often-surreal sliceof-life stories and illustrations have filled miniaturized pages packed into baubles in coin-operated machines around town or tossed from Mardi Gras floats — also presides over the comic anthology Feast and Mogi Womp!, a frequent comic-making jam in his living room. He returns to NOCAZ in 2016 with a new format, the Nano-Qube. “It’s a 1-inch-by-1-inch-by-1-inch hinged plastic cube filled with six unique and very tiny 16-page comic books,” he says. “The tiny comics are about these two goofy bar patrons, Hard Lick and Spooky Toof, and their inane and inebriated interactions. … My aim was to create an unassuming nano nugget of comical whimsy that, when cracked open by the curious, celebrates, in my humble opinion, the struggle of grappling with the fundamental absurdity of existence.” Comic artist and festival organizer Ben Passmore will offer his Daygloayhole series — a “dystopic post-apocalyptic punk comic about killing things, gentrification and post-Marxist alienation” — and a newer, short comic Your Black Friend. “I’m always trying to find entertaining and novel ways to talk about all my feelings about life in New Orleans,” Passmore says. “A dystopic landscape is a kind of perfectly disingenuous stage to talk about police violence, racism and gentrification in one breath and pornography-addicted cockroaches in the next. I always want to make things that are as challenging as they are fun to read. Your Black Friend came out of a few conversations with other black punks in New Orleans about navigating a mostly white punk scene here and embodying a type of blackness that both white and black people have a hard time understanding.” The festival’s convergence of zinemaking and comics puts together under one roof a snapshot of independent press in the South, with room for other artists from around the U.S. Taking stock of festivals around the country, Passmore found them expensive, exclusive, nearly identical — and super white. “Cartoonists and zinesters were going to festivals in other cities and we were asking each other informally why there wasn’t a festival here,” Passmore says. “Pretty early on we started talking about what it would mean to have a New Orleans festival. … Essentially it was cartoonists and zinesters getting together and

THE INTERIOR OF WALLS OF BOOKS

(910 W. Esplanade Ave., Kenner, 504305-5869; www. gottwalsbooks.com) reveals a veritable land mass of new and used novels, enclosed by hunter green partitions. Elliott and Lisa Sarpy opened the Gottwals Books franchise two years ago in a stretch of Kenner that features a lot of big-box chains, but business has remained strong because of their buyback and swapping policies. “The key is the trade-in value,” Elliott says. Customers can reserve books for in-store pickup and place special orders. The store carries volumes ranging from classics to homeschool textbooks, all at competitive prices. Walls of Books also stocks New Orleans-themed histories, children’s books and cookbooks. Melissa & Doug educational toys are available. The sets make learning fun for kids and include blocks, reusable sticker books and plush handbag sets complete with toy cell phones for kids on the go.

Luca Eats serves casual fare. BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund

EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN OPINION ON WHAT MAKES THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH: the classic

egg, cheese and meat combo folded into a croissant, layered on a bagel or stacked between two biscuits. It seems every new breakfast place has its own version, but for diners, there can’t be too many options. Luca Eats, a new breakfast and lunch nook in a sleepy stretch near South Carrollton Avenue, provides a welcome addition: pressed breakfast sandwiches on French bread or ciabatta. The simplest version is a medley of classics: crispy applewood-smoked bacon, shirred eggs and melted sharp cheddar cheese pressed on French bread. It’s everything you’d expect and no surprises. The shrimp and grits sandwich takes a bold approach, similar to the barbecue shrimp version at Liuzza’s by the Track. A French bread loaf is hollowed out and filled to overflowing with shrimp, andouille and corn grits — a rich medley full of garlic, celery and herbs. An excellent chorizo version combines the crumbly spicy sausage — which packs a warm, slow heat — with eggs, thick slices of avocado, melted Swiss cheese and cool chimichurri. At lunchtime, sandwiches are served with house-made rosemary potato chips, fried deep golden brown and sprinkled with sea salt. Crispy fried bell pepper rings retain surprising crunch and are best when dunked into salmon-pink remoulade. The sandwich menu includes shredded chicken salad topped with almonds, lettuce and tomato on a

croissant. The hearty grilled steak sandwich is reminiscent of a Philly cheese steak with its paper-thin layers of grilled sirloin and strands of caramelized onions. It’s served on ciabatta and finished with thick slices of melted white cheddar and creamy, tangy horseradish sauce. Not every sandwich is a success, and I found the roasted vegetable version to be strange. The filling of roasted portobello mushrooms, red peppers, piping-hot tomatoes, hummus, avocado and feta carried a collection of great flavors, but it was too much for the thin slices of multigrain bread to hold. Also, avocados and hot roasted vegetables make for odd bedfellows, and I would have preferred the vegetables cold. Though it’s been open only a few months, Luca Eats has built a reputation on its Oreo beignets, an impossibly rich combination in which

cookies are folded into beignet dough, deep-fried and showered with powdered sugar. They deliver a swift saccharine kick, but the creamy, chocolaty orbs are a nice, sweet finish to a meal. There’s a good selection of French Truck Coffee, including a dark chicory blend, which is enough to balance the sweetness of a batch of beignets or to start the day. It’s also a nice touch in a spot that offers neighborhood appeal. And breakfast sandwiches or not, New Orleans is nothing if not a city in love with its neighborhood spots.

and 11-13 that highlight the freshwater seafood soup prepared by the indigenous Chinantec community of Oaxaca, Mexico. The traditional fish soup is cooked using scorching hot stones. It is usually prepared by men as part of a tradition meant to honor the elders, women and children of the community. Visual historian Sarah Borealis launched the series last year. The schedule includes a screening of her 24-minute documentary film, which chronicles chef Cesar Gachupin de Dios’ family’s efforts to preserve the tradition in their community. Gachupin and his son Victor Gachupin Velasco are visiting from their home in Mexico to prepare the soup for the event. The soup includes red snapper, shrimp, scallops, chilies, cilantro, garlic, tomato and epazote, an herb common in Mexican cooking, and it is usually served in hollowed-out gourds. Stones are heated in an open fire for at least two hours and dropped into the bowl, instantly bringing the water to a boil and cooking the seafood in minutes. Vaughan’s proprietor Cindy Wood imported 400 river stones from Oaxaca for the events The pop-up event includes a cooking demonstration, a film screening with a Q&A session, a bowl of stone soup, live Latin music and mezcal drink specials by Nancy Lovewell of Johnny Sanchez restaurant. Also featured is an exhibition of Chinantec textiles hosted by indigenous designer Elisema Gachupin. Gachupin will teach a workshop for students in the culinary program at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, and students will help the chef prep ingredients for the pop-up. Tickets for the event are $20-$35. Proceeds support the Chinantec Council of Elders in San Felipe Usila, Oaxaca. — HELEN FREUND

Uber delivers UBEREATS, A NEW FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE FROM THE COMPANY

behind the popular ride-hailing application, launched Nov. 2 in New Orleans. The service functions like Uber’s smartphone-assisted car-hailing system, offering delivery from more than 100 local restaurants with little more than a tap on a phone. Restaurants include The Company Burger, Willie Mae’s Scotch House, City Greens, MoPho, Cafe B, Wayfare, Primitivo, Kebab, El Libre, Ruby Slipper Cafe, Seed and others. The San Francisco-based company launched the program in 2014 in Santa Monica, California and has expanded to New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Atlanta, among others. The average order will take 35 minutes from start to finish, according to Uber, although delivery times for some restaurants can take longer. As with the ride-hailing service, customers enter their credit card information, which is stored by the company and charged to the account plus a $4.99 delivery fee. That fee is waived through Tuesday, Nov. 8. Tips are not included in the price, and a disclaimer from Uber states that they are “neither expected nor required.” Customers can download the UberEats app on iOS and Android or go online to www.ubereats.com. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Rowan Jacobsen AUTHOR ROWAN JACOBSEN (WWW.ROWANJACOBSEN.COM) KNOWS OYSTERS. Ten years ago, he published A Geography of Oys-

ters, and his new book, The Essential Oyster, provides a close look at more than 100 of North America’s most celebrated oysters, including their history, regional significance and the people and culture that surround them. Jacobsen signs his book at Octavia Books Nov. 16 and at Peche Seafood Grill (with an oyster tasting) Nov. 17. Jacobsen spoke with Gambit about oysters.

How do the oysters from around the country differ? JACOBSEN: The oysters in the Northeast and the Gulf are all the same oyster, the (crassostrea) virginica, but for whatever reason that oyster grows a lot differently on the Gulf Coast than it does in the Northeast. In the Northeast, it tends to have a thinner shell, and Gulf oysters have this big, thick shell that you’d never see in the Northeast. It has to do with the climate and the lower salinity of the Gulf, and possibly they’ve become genetically different over time. In terms of style, the Northeast is a little fussy and fancy, and if you order oysters on the half shell they’re these super clean, beautiful oysters with perfect cups because they’ve been carefully cultivated — and they’re (often) served with mignonette. What I love about New Orleans and the Gulf Coast is that it’s a lot less fussy. You walk up to the oyster bar and there’s this guy there who has been shucking for 20 years, and you’re just shooting the shit with him and he’s shucking big oysters and plopping them right on the raw bar. There’s not a plate in sight, and you’re drinking a beer and totally immersed in the experience. You really can’t get that anywhere but New Orleans and a couple of spots in the Gulf. The Pacific Northwest is a completely different oyster. They grow the Pacific oyster, which is native to Japan, and it has a completely different flavor. The Gulf oyster has a fairly mild flavor, the East Coast tends to be really briny and really salty — that just-getting-hitby-a-wave-on-the-beach kind of feeling, and the Pacific Northwest has much more of an intertidal estuary kind of a flavor. They’re sweeter, there’s a lot of cucumber and grassy notes. They’ve got

more flavor in general, but less ocean brine. (Price) also plays a huge part in the difference in the experience. It’s not just the amount of money; it’s the way that difference makes you approach the experience. If you’re in New York or Seattle where it’s often $3 or $4 for an oyster, you treat it like it’s this precious thing that you’re going to celebrate and really worship. But when oysters are 50 cents at a happy hour, you don’t even have to think about it. You’re just one with the oyster and you kind of lose yourself in it.

How has the Gulf oyster industry changed since the BP oil disaster? J: It really was a game changer from what I’ve seen, but not for the reasons that you might think. The oyster beds never got hit by oil, but a lot of them got killed by the fresh water. (They) released all this fresh water out into the Gulf to try and physically force the oil away, and unfortunately what that did is it turned all the oyster beds fresh. Of course, (oysters) can’t live in fresh water. So that knocked the industry on its butt for a while, but it was also the spur that got the first few farmers started on the Gulf Coast. That’s something I pay a bunch of attention to in the book, this first wave of farms — in Alabama, Louisiana and the Florida Gulf Coast — that are growing these beautiful oysters but still aren’t getting their due nationally. People still have this block, where they think Gulf oysters are going to be these big, muddy

things. But these have gorgeous deep-cut shells and it just blows people away when they see them. People in the Northeast and the Northwest have had an attitude about Gulf oysters. They had been cultivating oysters for a while with these off-bottom techniques that produce perfect shells, and so everyone had in their head that there was just something endemic in the Gulf that couldn’t make oysters like that. It’s hard to say where the industry is going … but I certainly hope that Louisiana never loses its wild oyster culture.

Do you have a favorite place to get oysters in New Orleans? J: I’ve got a couple of places I really like. I like Peche. They’ll do beautiful oysters, and they have some other (types) from around the Gulf, so it’s kind of fun to tour the Gulf through Peche’s oysters. Also, I like Pascal’s Manale a lot, because it’s got the standing, nostools oyster bar that’s separate from everything else, and I think the shucker there is a really cool guy. — HELEN FREUND

THE MISSOULA FLOODS, WHICH OCCURRED AT LEAST 40 TIMES BETWEEN 13,000 AND 15,000 YEARS AGO, made

Oregon’s Willamette Valley a great place for agriculture, from Christmas trees to hazelnuts and hops for beer. Wine grape production took hold in the 1960s, and the climate has been good for fickle pinot noir fruit. Jim Bernau founded Willamette Valley Vineyards on the site of a plum orchard in 1983. He uses the Burgundian model of using whole clusters of grapes, in which fruit of varying ripeness yields wines with depth and character. On the palate, taste red fruit including strawberries and Bing cherries and good acidity. Drink it with roast turkey, duck confit and other fowl, slowly braised beef short ribs, grilled tuna, salmon, pork, lamb, veal chops, cherries jubilee and blueberry cobbler.

As with all • Civic Theatre daring artists, it’s the thing people love and • 510 O’Keefe Ave. hate most about the band. Its songs can be • (504) 272-0865 at once unforgettably catchy and unshakably irritating, a contradiction that gets at the very • www.civicnola.com heart of what makes the group so fascinating: a trendsetting psychedelic jam band that PH OTO BY couldn’t care less about trends (but do love A D R I A N O FAG U N D E a hook), whose most orthodox legion of fans might reject every adjective that captures it best. They also have become, somewhat by accident and in the oldest-fashioned sense of the word, the world’s unlikeliest supergroup — sheerly by virtue of the members’ exceptional solo output, which long ago (circa Sung Tongs/Person Pitch) surpassed the quality of their work together, and the stubborn fact that they never broke up. The kids moved away and had kids, and what began in a Baltimore elementary school is now an intercontinental chain letter, a blended Scotch made up of more distinguished and distinguishable single malts. Centipede Hz and the new Painting With (Domino) are not Noah Lennox’s Tomboy or Avey Tare’s Enter the Slasher House, but they still will give you the Feels. Actress opens.

FILM CULTURAL STEREOTYPES ARE DEEPLY INGRAINED IN POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT. This is especially true for film, where “types” of people often serve as a kind of storytelling shorthand, moving the plot forward while perpetuating false assumptions about those people. The practice is so widespread it can be difficult to see, but it also makes the absence of cultural stereotypes in a particular film all the more striking. That’s the first of many qualities that distinguish writer-director Barry Jenkins’ extraordinary Moonlight. Loosely based on an unproduced work by award-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, the film tells an autobiographical coming-ofage story of a gay black man navigating the mean streets of Miami during the crack epidemic of the 1980s. But even that bare-bones description is misleading, if only because Moonlight defies expectations of how gay characters and people of color can be depicted on screen. It won audience awards at several regional film festivals in the past two months (including the recent New Orleans Film Festival) because its moving story is relatable for anyone who ever felt like an outsider — which is just about everyone. Like many great films, Moonlight immerses viewers in the rich details of a particular time and place but uses those specifics to generate a timeless and universal feel. McCraney and Jenkins grew up one block apart and went to the same schools at the same time in Miami’s tough Liberty City neighborhood, but they never met before working on the film. McCraney is gay and Jenkins is straight, and each was raised under difficult circumstances by a drug-addicted mother. There’s an emotional authenticity to Moonlight that’s grounded in the true-life experiences of two talented but very different artists. Jenkins’ film tells its story in three parts set at different points in its protagonist’s life. When we meet Chiron in the first part, he’s a 10-year-old boy whose peers bully him because he’s different, though he doesn’t yet know what sets him apart. Local drug dealer Juan (Mahershala Ali, Remy from Netflix’s House of Cards and Cottonmouth in Luke Cage) and his girlfriend Teresa (pop superstar Janelle Monae in her feature debut) try to fill the parenting void left by Chiron’s crack-addicted mother Paula (Naomie Harris). The second part finds a teenage Chiron contending with his emerging sexuality, and the last segment depicts him as a man in his mid20s who may not be the adult we anticipated. Three actors (Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes) portray Chiron at different ages. Though they never rehearsed together or saw each

REVIEW

other’s in-progress work, the actors’ performances match perfectly and add up to a • Directed by Barry Jenkins single, complex character. • Starring Ashton Sanders, Trevante Rhodes, The entire ensemble rises to the challenge represented by Mahershala Ali and Janelle Monae Jenkins’ poetic but extremely • Limited release sparse screenplay. Seldom has so much been said with so few words on film. Moonlight’s vision of Miami transcends the superficial party-town image often found in movies. It’s a place where extreme hardship contrasts sharply with the city’s vivid colors and tropical weather, and wide-open spaces suggest a chance at freedom that for many remains just out of reach. Though it depicts a neighborhood in crisis, Moonlight’s heightened reality and focus on Chiron’s heartbreaking struggles ensure that it’s no social-issue film. It’s more a meditation on the nature of identity — how our circumstances, experiences and choices combine to make us who we are. There can be no tidy resolution at the end of Chiron’s story because he — like the rest of us — remains a work in progress. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW “DID YOU EVER STAND AND SHIVER ... JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE LOOKING AT A RIVER?” So sang Bob Dylan’s early mentor,

Simon Gunning and the Southern Louisiana Landscape and Maude Schuyler Clay: Mississippi History

Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, about a youthful trip to New Orleans where the Mississippi River’s inscrutable currents embodied the sense of mystery he felt here — a sensibility echoed by Simon Gunning in this sprawling retrospective. Intrigued by the Big Muddy and its contrast with the pristine shores of his native Australia, Gunning devoted much of his life to exploring • Through Feb. 5, 2017 its awesome charisma and the city it shaped. In his early painting The Messenger, a bicycle • Simon Gunning and the courier navigates a narrow backstreet that ends with a huge freighter looming tall above Southern Louisiana Landscape antique buildings. Schiro’s at Sunset (pic• Through Jan. 15, 2017 tured) depicts 1990s Marigny as a panorama of street life, including stoop sitters, produce • Maude Schuyler Clay: wagon vendors and stray dogs foraging amid discarded fried chicken bags as an elderly man Mississippi History in a sleeveless undershirt clutches a bag of • Ogden Museum of Southern groceries. The Haunted Wharf is a chaotic river vista framed by the skeletal ruins of a dock, a Art, 925 Camp St., (504) 539view that contrasts sharply with his gorgeously 9650; www.ogdenmuseum.org serene swamp scenes. Gunning is at his mysterious best in works like Waiting, where ships like massive floating monoliths gather at the mouth the river, the placid surface of which belies roiling currents surging into the Gulf Stream on their global journey. Mississippi Delta native Maude Schuyler Clay returned home to record her world in photographs after a stint as a photo editor in New York. For her, the Delta is its people as they appear in their remote rural settings, as we see in images like Bonnie Claire, Green Car, a view of a young woman looking much like a pre-Raphaelite angel appearing with a 1953 Oldsmobile. In Bill with Gun, her cousin, legendary color photography pioneer William Eggleston, clutches a vintage shotgun in a characteristic pose that takes him out of the world’s great museums and returns him squarely to his Mississippi Delta roots. — D.

Becoming Number Six

WHAT IS WEIRD ABOUT ROSS PETER NELSON’S NEW PLAY, Becoming Number Six, is that its premise is not strange. Internet surveillance already exists; usually we just don’t notice it. If you use the internet, Google or some other web company already knows what you buy, where you go and who you know. Despite its serious underlying message, Becoming Number Six is a comedic mystery that keeps the audience intellectually engaged. In this premiere production, directed by Harold Gervais for the Second Star Performance Collective, technology has enabled the government to track everyone’s movements by monitoring computer and cellphone activity. “Once we know your behavior, you’re easier to manipulate,” says a government bureaucrat known as Number Four (Donald Lewis Jr.). The small cast keeps the energy up in this cerebral play. The story focuses on dry technological constructs, but the actors ably play out the human drama that ensues when government exerts too much control. There also is plenty of humor within the intrigue and the anonymity of online communication. Daniel Zimmer created a minimalist set in the Nims Black Box Theatre at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. A couple of modern black desks, chairs, computers and a couch sit on an open stage — a sterile environment with no place to hide and few people to trust. Actors move from office to cafe to living room through invisible portals. The absence of barriers suggests a lack of privacy in this new world order — and constant surveillance. Number Four is overseeing an investigation of Jeremy (Ross Quinn), a high school student known to frequent the dark web, networks inaccessible via traditional search engines. Jeremy uploaded documents for someone who goes by the internet identity Incognito. Agents Lovelace (Andrea Watson) and Babbage (Andrew Gude) are computer nerds in plain black suits. Their lack of emotion is a contrast to the fears they invoke in average citizens. They repeatedly state that “tapping into computers is illegal” and requires a warrant. What they actually do is “traffic analysis.” Quinn, an idealistic computer whiz, trusts technology to expose corruption. “Information wants to be free,” he says. His mother Stephanie (Lillian J. Small) becomes alarmed when agents appear at her front door and encourage her to spy on her son. Instead, Stephanie enlists her techie friend Julia (Rebecca Elizabeth Hollingsworth), aka Tinker Taylor, to install VNC (Virtual Network Computing) to track Jeremy’s computer use. As a worried mom, Stephanie fears what they could find but above all desires to protect her son. The more internet savvy Julia knows all the tricks to trace Jeremy’s movements. Unraveling the mystery of Incognito’s identity drives the story as all sorts of digital devices are used to navigate the dark web. “There are patterns, disturbing patterns of behavior,” the agents say robotically. In these times, government agents mining the internet for incriminating evidence simply derived from behavioral patterns seems frighteningly close to reality. — MARY RICKARD

thehowlinwolf.com — Trae Crowder (the “Liberal Redneck”), Corey Forrester and Drew Morgan perform. Tickets $25. 8 p.m. Thursday. Why So Serious? Lucky’s, 1625 St. Charles Ave., (504) 523-6538 — Dante Hale hosts the open mic. Sign-up 8:30 p.m., show 9 p.m. Wednesday.
