Carmel, Indiana is just one of many Indiana communities considering a local ordinance to protect the civil rights of the LGBTQ community. Read on to find out how an introduction of the ordinance turned into hours of testimony on religious freedom versus economic development.

IndyFringe is halfway over, but the cream of the crop has risen. We reviewed every show (look online for that) and have pulled the five-star ones for this week’s stage selection. We also spoke with a few of the local artists who are making Monument Circle turn while Spark is underway.

Pizza, pizza, PIZZA! Lo, on this glorious Wednesday, we bring you much pizza. You can improve your current recipes by turning them into pizza, improve your pizza grilling game, or learn how to ruin perfectly good pizza by making it into non-pizza forms.

Beach Slang is a Philly supergroup of sorts, writing the kind of cathartic, soaring, singalong anthems we wish we could write. We’ll settle for seeing them Tuesday at the Hoosier Dome alongside The Hotelier and Rozwell Kid. Elsewhere, PictureYes talks returning to Indy and Kyle Long honors Andre Green, with a 35-year-old meditation from Stevie Wonder.

READING WITH THE NRA

ast week, I wrote a piece about gun violence in America and in it I predicted that our culture’s perspective on guns will ultimately change in the future. I opined that the shift will come as a result of some seemingly small tweak in policy, or as a result of some horrific event, the likes of which we have never seen. I did not suggest the change agent, or the specific outcome, only that Americans are growing tired of school and mass shootings. Profound stuff, right? Guns rights advocates exploded! They then immediately took to social media and labeled me “irrational” and “illogical,” especially the fine members of this group that didn’t actually read my literary classic. Reading is the most time consuming part of writing my weekly rants. I have learned more writing this piece in the last year than I did my first two years of college, through no fault of the college. And this week, I read some great stuff about gun policy. Surprisingly, the best reading of the week was brought to me by Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. LaPierre penned “Standing Guard: We Don’t Need More Gun Laws, Just Enforcement of Existing Ones,” and it was posted on the NRA website on July 28. This piece is refreshing in that it

suggests actual ideas on what government should do to shift the momentum on gun violence. He discusses two community engagement programs that he endorses. The first one is a famous program from the late ’90s from Richmond, Virginia, named “Project Exile” and the second is a new one using the same model called “Detroit One.” Project Exile was implemented to address a gun violence outbreak in Richmond that was largely attributed to gangs. Whatever the cause, the functional part of the program was the transfer of technical gun offenses to federal jurisdiction for prosecution

nity outreach that went hand-in-hand with these types of programs. All of the programs, including the new one being started in Detroit, feature a comprehensive effort by a long list of organizations to carry the message that illegal gun possession and use is no longer tolerated in whatever town. All of this is done without passing any new law, which is the main thing the NRA really loves about it.

dangerous in my neighborhood. The only problem I have with the NRA on this one is that these things do have a cost. And while the NRA did advocate for a paltry $2.3 million appropriation from Congress back in the ’90s on the first Project Exile, every city in America doing it might amount to real money. Of course, even if the fifty largest cities in the country rolled at a similar effort, it’s still a tiny amount of money in Congressional budgeting terms. But the NRA, as one of the most powerful lobbying and campaign finance groups in the country, almost uniformly supports candidates and officeholders that don’t support new spending. They need to change that if they want to be taken seriously on this one. That shouldn’t be a problem, should it, Mr. LaPierre? Matt Tully wrote in a column for The Indianapolis Star a couple of weeks ago about how it seems like our public officials can’t even talk about gun violence anymore. I understand why he wrote it, because that is certainly the appearance. But any officeholder that lacks the courage to talk about it is, in my opinion, unfit to serve. Gun violence is an issue that cannot be ignored, and so the community and the electorate must prove Tully wrong. Again, taking the NRA up on its supported idea does provoke conversation and is an improvement on our current paralysis on the issue. I recommend that the mayoral candidates in Indianapolis roll up their sleeves and give these programs a look. Don’t be afraid to talk about gun control in this context, because the NRA is with you on this one. Oh, and to any guns rights person that wants to mix it up with me this week: do all of the required reading first. n

I was clueless as an adolescent, but as an adult I get why the academic year is now even longer than it was when I was a kid. I get that lawmakers are so desperate for the numbers to reflect an extra IQ point or two that they’re ready to sign up for year-round school curriculums out of sheer academic despondency. Is this collective “dumbing-down” a major reason why at the number of college students enrolled in education programs has fallen by more than 50 percent in the last five years? There’s no way I can make the following statement with anything other than the disgust I feel: kids are dumber now than they’ve ever been. Sure, there’s a kid who wants to “make something of himself” around every corner, but – by and large? If the 18-year-old I just heard on my morning radio show doesn’t know what “homo sapiens” means, and the middle school delinquent acting up in a restaurant can’t tell what year the Declaration of Indepen-

ever clocked the time that it takes to suck the will to maintain that hope out of each new teacher. Could that hopelessness have something to do with the Washington Post’s report on the Indiana Legislature’s decision to ONCE AGAIN grant funding to the 25 school districts with the highest average family income between now and 2017? Of the 25 districts with the lowest family income, only 12 of them will receive any substantial financial assistance over the next two years. The remaining 13 just have to keep their fingers crossed and wait to see what bones the state throws to them, if any. Maybe if the districts that needed funding the most had what they needed, they might be able to get AND KEEP teachers to work with the students who need them the most. Why would legislators knowingly give money away to districts that likely need the cash far less than lower income school districts? Could it be the higher income districts are often more politically “likeminded” than those who fall in Parents! Buy your kid a book a lower income bracket?

WHAT HAPPENED? State Budget Committee talks statehouse security The State Budget Committee discussed an $873,000 proposal to replace several doors at the Statehouse and other government buildings. The new turnstile doors would be located at several entrances and allow only one person through at a time. John Hill, the governor’s chief of staff for public safety, presented the background of turnstiles and stressed a necessity for heightened safety at the state’s government buildings. Hill described a circumstance where an employee in 2013 allowed a group of individuals inside the building under the pretense of the individuals going to find their parents who were working inside the building. The group was arrested for stealing several items from offices inside the Statehouse. Chairman Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville, said the discussion would be moved to the review section of the next meeting in the next few months. Education Study Committee: Special ed. needs $4 million The Interim Study Committee on Education determined it would take about $4 million to properly fund special education in Indiana. “A handful of kids, which kind of fall through the cracks that are in preschool that are categorized as developmentally delayed and because of the way our state bills work that categorization cannot be used once they reach kindergarMiller ten,” said Sen. Pete Miller, R-Avon. A child is considered to have a development delay if they have not reached certain developmental milestones by the time they are expected to and it significantly affects the child’s performance in the classroom. The National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Department of Education say children can experience developmental delays at anytime between birth and age eight. However, Indiana law only acknowledges and funds special help for kids suffering from developmental delays when they are between the ages of three and five. Dept. of Child Services to add more workers Gov. Mike Pence announced the Indiana Department of Child Services would add 113 additional caseworkers. Earlier this year, Pence called for the General Assembly to appropriate $7.5 million for each year of the state’s two-year budget. The money would fund 100 family case managers and 17 supervisor positions. Pence said it is estimated that an additional $7.2 million will be needed to hire the 113 new caseworkers. In July, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of DCS caseworker Mary Price, who according to the suit, had more than twice the legal limit of cases under her supervision. A spokesperson for the ACLU said the organization would take a look at what the additional workers will mean for DCS employees and Indiana children. — THE STATEHOUSE FILE 6 NEWS // 08.19.15 - 08.26.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

CARMEL’S CALL FOR NON-DISCRIMINATION

City council president Kevin Rider commented on how cool it was to hear the Pledge of Allegiance recited in such a strong unified voice from the large number of people there. That voice remained unified long enough for Mayor Jim Brainard and fire department officials to present two women with awards for their heroic efforts in saving the life of a man who had a heart attack during a recent charity run on the Monon trail.

ville. Several state legislators have vowed to bring those protections to the General Assembly for consideration in the next legislative session and U.S. Rep. Andre Carson has pledged to bring the issue to the national stage. However, there is one part of Carmel’s proposed ordinance that differs from existing ordinances — the penalties for violation. In Indianapolis, for example, if a business is accused of violating the civil rights ordinance, the city’s equal opportunity advisory board investigates the complaint. If the complaint is found to be valid, it is handed over to the state civil rights commission for further investigation. If validated again, the complainant is eligible to pursue any losses accrued as a result of the violation in civil court. In other words, the victim can sue for damages. With the complaint and investigation results made public, the violating business is also put under a spotlight in the “court of public opinion.” The media attention and associated public scrutiny is probably the most damning penalty the offending business could ever sustain. In Carmel, however, the proposed ordinance states violators would be fined $500 per day, per violation and per person. The fine would also be in addition to attorney fees and any other penalties imposed by any appropriate federal, state and/or county jurisdiction.

The argument The tone for the dissent was established when councilwoman Sue Finkham offered a public apology to a constituent who had contacted her about the ordinance. Finkham told the crowd that the person had expressed their disgust with the ordinance proposal, to which Finkham said she replied, “I’ll help you move.” Finkham said her comment was out of line and as a councilwoman and mom she regretted the statement. She publicly apologized for the comment and her unprofessional conduct. One by one, more Carmel residents expressed their displeasure with the ordinance proposal. Their reasoning for

their opposition sounded exactly like the justification some Hoosiers expressed at the statehouse when supporting the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Many used the word “freedom” when trying to express their belief in the right to choose whom they would and would not do business with based on their religious convictions. Commenters frequently stated they didn’t believe in discrimination and followed the “love thy neighbor” commandment faithfully, yet in the same breath said they wanted to protect their religious rights faithfully in all aspects of life and business owners should be allowed to do the same. The religious baker refusing to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple was an example of religious freedom used in conversation and testimony multiple times. (I’m not sure when cake outranked bread and wine as sanctified food.) Mayor Brainard was complimented for his service and dedication to making Carmel a great place to live just as much as he was criticized for supporting the ordinance and bringing it before the council. The mayor was called greedy and caring only about “the money” instead of the moral fiber of the community. Carmel resident Barbara Williams drew groans from the audience — that had been relatively patient with the testimony — when she pointed at the council members and told them that if they passed the ordinance they would “have blood on their hands.”

The support Mayor Brainard did not shy away from the public criticism that he all he cares about is “the money.” If the money in question is the business dollars he hopes to attract to Carmel through economic development, then the criticism is accurate. “Carmel and Indianapolis are in competition for good jobs with cities across the globe. Our competition quite honestly isn’t anywhere in Indiana, it’s other places, in many cases other countries,” says Brainard. “We need to have a quality of life in Carmel and in Indianapolis equal to that of the best places to live anywhere in the world if we are to be successful.” Brainard agrees the state is still under scrutiny by the world following the RFRA debacle and establishing an image of acceptance and equality is crucial for any community looking to increase its economic development foothold. He believes certain quality of life issues like acceptance and equality do make a difference when a community is trying to recruit business and industry. “We don’t have the oceans and mountains and the places that some

communities do, but neither does Paris, which has lousy weather and no oceans or mountains,” says Brainard. “It’s about the built environment and the culture any place and we certainly have the ability to build a very special place here and that’s what we are trying to do.” Most of the people who spoke against the ordinance identified themselves as local residents and/or local clergy. However, those speaking in support of the ordinance either identified themselves as local business owners or involved in the business community, include One Zone president Mo Merhoff. (One Zone is the chamber of commerce organization for Carmel and Fishers.) Merhoff said a similar ordinance will be under consideration in Fishers and has the support of Mayor Scott Fadness with economic development at the forefront of that support. Other supporters,

Next steps

Council president Rider announced in the middle of testimony that the council would not take a vote on the proposal that night and the ordinance would instead go to committee for review. Although some supporters were disappointed by the non-vote, Brainard says there is no need to be discouraged. “The rules would have to be suspended for a vote to happen and that would only happen with unanimous support. We knew going in that council member would vote no so it goes to committee,” says Brainard.

ear that? That’s the sounds of school bells ringing all across the state. If you’re still in school, it’s that time again: time for latenight studying, tests, and a lot of dedication to subjects that you will never see again in your regular life. The consolation prize for slaving away at subjects like trigonometry and calculus, however, is you have a readymade excuse to indulge in the world’s greatest study food. Pizza is the second most powerful glue that holds our institutions of higher learning together (the most powerful being the NCAA’s soulless profiteering off of studentathletes), so we put together an issue devoted solely to the greatest food on Earth. The zen of pizza comes from carefully balanced elements: the sweetness of the sauce to the saltiness of the cheese. The right amount of crunch in every crust must be measured against the relative meltiness of the pizza’s interior. And that’s just with basic pies. Start adding in punchy, exotic ingredients like spicy andouille and tangy goat cheese and there

is great risk for melee and confusion. God forbid you wander into anchovy and pineapple territory unassisted by a trustworthy sherpa. That’s why we’re here. We’ve compiled a killer list of pizza places where you can get a vegan pie, a gluten-free pie, a cheap pie, and exotic pie and even a fancy-schmancy quail egg pie. If you’re out biking our cultural trails and neighborhoods, we’ve got a map that will lead you straight to the perfect pizza. We’ve got our two reader-favorite brewers on hand to debate the supremacy of deep dish or thin crust pizza. We even got some chefs in on the action, with Cerulean chef Alan Sternberg and Libertine/Pizzology chef Paul Haveck making us some deconstructed pizzas to boot. Even if you’re not going back to school, you should avail yourself of the city’s blooming, verdant landscape of sauce and cheese. Take that pizza list, rip it out, and use it like a To Do list, and eat your way through the best pies in town. Now that’s amore.

MOTHER BEAR’S (BLOOMINGTON)

CHICAGO PIZZA UNION JACK I know, I know, it’s a pub. But I’ve consistently had some of my favorite pizza in the city here, including some deep-dish pizza that I really loved. You can also get this weird pizza pie thing that is basically two pizzas forming a massive, stuffed pizza crust UFO that you cut into huge slices. Good for the heart? Absolutely not, but the experience was transformative to the soul. 924 Broad Ripple Ave., 257-4343, unionjackpub.com

GIORDANOS Lord knows why you’d serve this thick, saucy pizza casserole in August, but you do. Maybe you hail from Chicago and need a little taste of home. I don’t judge anyone’s love or pizza preference (just kidding, I judge the hell out of you if you prefer deep dish to thin crust, you godless heathen). Giordano’s is poised to dominate the Indianapolis pizza market, so keep your eyes peeled for one coming to your neighborhood. 4110 E. 82nd St., 348-4085, giordanos.com

SOUTH OF CHICAGO PIZZA & BEEF This amazing little shop in Fletcher Place has long been famous for deep dish and Italian beef like they serve it in the Windy City. Good thing too, as a stop here can prevent a raucous hangover when you head down the street to catch a show in Fountain Square. 619 Virginia Ave., 201-7110, nobspizza.com

ROSELLI’S If you need a pizza place that actually specializes in serving large crowds, you can’t do any better than Roselli’s, which offers banquet and catering options beyond their normal pie deliveries. They specialize in Chicago food favorites, so make sure you stop by if you’re craving a big Italian Beef sandwich or a slice of deep dish, or you need a taste of home by the lake. 4335 W 106th St. (Carmel), 228-9090, rosellisonline.com

PERFECT PIES, NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE THEM JOCKAMO PIZZA This Irvington staple has garnered the praise of the entire city, and then a little more from outside the city. Recently, Food Network superstar Alton Brown gave it the two thumbs way up while he was in town. The local shop is famous for their crunchy, buttery crust, and although it’s a little ways out, they will cater to your out-there tastes as well as the mega deliciousness of their standard cheese-n-pep. 5646 E. Washington St., 356-6612; 401 Market Plaza (Greenwood), 883-8993; 9165 Otis Ave. (Lawrence), 986-4545; jockamopizza.com

PIZZA KING ALL HAIL THE GREAT PIZZA KING! Not only would most of us here at NUVO happily live in a feudal system lorded over by a pizza plutocrat, but we’d actively depose the current leader if it was anyone other than the King of Pizza King. The regional restaurant has exploded across northeastern Indiana and has finally found a new home in Fountain Square. We would highly recommend a visit to this former hometown favorite that has become a favorite to many, and has become the reigning king of that thin, cracker-style crust. 1267 Shelby St., 363-2029, pizzakingindiana.com

GREEKS PIZZA All hail the Greeks crust! These are glorious slices of buttery, thick crust stacked high with tons of toppings (if that’s your thing). If “deep dish” actually meant a good inch of fluffy, crunchy crust, I might be converted. 6336 Guilford Ave., 426-4599; 8028 S. Emerson Ave., 881-5581; 30 N. Main St. (Zionsville), 344-2999; greekspizzeria.com

PASQUALÉS We’ve told you about this place before, a now-defunct chain with several unaffiliated stores still in existence. We can’t speak for all of the Pasquale’s in the area, but the Batista-owned spot on Troy is absolutely one

on the list. These are standard-issue neighborhood pies (read: delicious) that use top-of-the-line ingredients.

PROJECT PIE

1135 E. Troy Ave., 787-7223

This is a brand-new place that offers build-your-own pizza and craft beer. The chain serves you all kinds of fancy options for toppings like gorgonzola and pesto, and you can get every guest a custom-made pizza of their very own. If you like your pie weird and customized, get yourself to 96th street.

AMORE PIZZERIA & RISTORANTE You know what they say about the moon hitting your eye like a big pizza pie. And nothing says amore quite like a slice of cheesy, bubbly pizza. We like this cute little Zionsville shop for piling on all the cheese you could ever need. 41 Boone Village (Zionsville), 733-1609, amorezionsville.com

BAZBEAUX

It’s delicious, and it’s one of the best deals you can get outside of a national chain. They also serve a whole lot more than just pizza, like wings and sandwiches. This is a local chain, and it’s likely there’s a Piezano’s pretty close to you if you’re anywhere near the 465 loop. 5616 Georgetown Road, 299-4555; 3947 N.

ENZO PIZZA

SOME GUYS PIZZA

This locally-owned chain with a handful of Indy-area franchises serves pizza as you’d expect, but we’d recommend you try one of their calzones. They’re deliciously crunchy and come with a dipping sauce to make the experience that much more heavenly. If the dough-and-sauce combo isn’t your thing, try a delicious plate of pasta or lasagna.

We have to tip our hats to Some Guys as one of the first Indy businesses to ditch Mr. Ice, the company that has the dubious honor of employing the author of RFRA. Not only is this a place for good business, they also make some truly inventive, delicious pizza. We have to recommend the Thai pizza in all of its peanuty goodness.

EXOTIC & LUXE NAPOLESE Wood-fired Italian, fabulous wine list, sustainable, delicious. This spot will serve you the jacket-and-tie, topped-with-a-quail-egg kind of fancy wood-fired pie that will put any small town grease disk to shame. They use seasonal ingredients for an ever-changing menu, and source locally as much as possible. Keep a sharp eye for chef Tyler Herald’s love of Phish in the pizza names. 30 S. Meridian St., 635-0765; 114 E. 49th St., 925-0765; 8702 Keystone Crossing, 705-0765; cafepatachou.com

PIZZOLOGY Housemade charcuterie and cured meats are the name of the game at this gourmet, wood-fired pizza place. Owned by Beard-recognized chef Neal Brown, this spot is going to bring it in the sophisticated flavors department. It’s chewy and crunchy and each bite has a nice blend of toppings and toasted crust. Definitely also avail yourself of anything from the non-pizza menu, too, with lots of house made pasta dishes and other goodies available. 608 Massachusetts Ave., 685-2550, pizzologyindy.com

8235 E. 96th St., 288-8951, projectpie.com

We know, we know: this town has a pretty great variety of pizza available. But while many different pizza establishments have come and gone, Bazbeaux remains steadfast, serving up everything from the simple pepperoni to the Tchoupitoulas, made of Cajun shrimp, house roasted red pepper, green pepper, red onion, andouille sausage, fresh garlic. And if you’re going to town, you might as well go in a Lincoln, so ask for a little bit of their creamy basil salad dressing to dip it in.

MOTHER BEAR’S No offense to our closer, local folks, but it’s safe to say that Mother Bear’s Pizza might just be serving the greatest slice of pizza ever made.

Pizza Cuts

TRIANGLE:

PRO: What we’re dealing with here is the ultimate in democratic pizza distribution: even slices, even toppings across all slices. There is perhaps nothing more satisfying than consuming a pie one perfect 8th or 16th at a time, especially if the cheese is extra melty and you can pretend you’re a Ninja Turtle fueling up to fight crime. As a double bonus, each slice comes with an automatic breadstick if you’re taking on a traditional fluffy crust.

CON: But let’s get real: there is no such thing as a perfectly even pizza. With the triangle cut, you’re always going to end up with two megaslices and two ultra small slices. That’s great if you’re the person trying to fool themselves into thinking that you’re “only going to have one slice,” but that means Hungry Larry gets stuck with the mini slices, and that’s rude. IDEAL CUT FOR: Late night eating and student council.

SQUARE: PRO: The key to the square cut is variety. Peckish eaters are not saddled with the full burden of downing the entire, herculean hypotenuse of a triangle slice, and the Hungry Larrys of the world can have a virtual playing card deck of pizza pieces. You can also separate the center of the pizza from the crust such that each piece does not carry that carbohydrated burden. Toppings-only eaters can have their pie and crust fanatics can take their pick. Everyone wins.

CON: There are, guaranteed, four slices of pizza with a majorly imbalanced crust-to-toppings ratio. We’re talking like a square inch of cheese and sauce with 90% crust, which wouldn’t be a problem with a doughy, soft traditional crust. Except only thin crust pizzas ever come cut into squares, which basically means you’re stuck with a cheese and tomato dipped cracker. Great. IDEAL CUT FOR: Parties and conference room sharing.

PENTAGRAM: PRO: The Dark Lord smiles upon your sacrifice to him and blesses you with the cheesiest goodness. Per the ritual, you may now consume your pizza horns first, leaving the center to be torn apart by the hands of the willing under the full moon. The center of the pentagram may be used as a stable base for the sacrificial candle. Hail Satan.

CON: The earthly confines of doughy transgression are thickupon the outer slices, leaving the stomachs of the willing rather full of bread and less with fortifying cheese, sauces and souls of the damned. Waiting until after the sacrificial animal has bleated its last and the candle has burned to darkness, that shit is hella cold. Hail Satan.

IDEAL CUT FOR: Until the Dark Lord gathers his followers with his black scythe. Hail Satan. NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 08.19.15 - 08.26.15 // COVER STORY 13

THE ZEN AND ART OF PIZZA AND BEER Water and Grain: These are the things pizza

ASK A BREWER

e have a lot of fun asking our Indiana brewing community questions we ponder about life, love, and homebrewing. We’ve never let them talk amongst themselves, though, until this issue. We got reader favorite answerers Steve Ruby and Erik Fox together to debate one of the great mysteries of our time: the superiority of deep dish or thin crust pizza, though Steve did initally reject the line of questioning in typical lawyer-turned-brewer style, if that’s a thing. Without much more introduction, here are they guys laying down the crust law.

STEVE RUBY: I find the question inher-

without cheese] is not pizza,”

ently flawed, but I understand the spirit of it. So in that spirit, will answer it and say I am a deep dish person. I am from Illinois, but that’s not the reason. It’s everything that’s delicious about a thin crust pizza, amplified. Want a delicious crust? You’ve got a bunch of it. Delicious toppings and a shit ton of cheese? You’ve got a ton of it right there. The only thing I ever hear about it is “It’s like a casserole,” well woopdefuckin’ do, lasagna is like a casserole but it’s also delicious. No one ever complains about it being called “pasta.”

In chaos, pizza: “In any kind of societal breakdown, either like a Mad Max situation or Donald Trump being elected president, the ability to make pizza would be incredibly valuable. You could barter for anything if you had pizza.” Preppers, begin building your wood ovens.

all things I do not like. That’s why I’m going with a thin crust stance, because I think that with pizza, less is more. I’m not saying deep dish is bad. But you bring up being from Chicago, and Pizza King, where I grew up, especially the Pizza King in Muncie, is legendary, and makes, I think, the best pizza in the world.

RUBY: There is nothing wrong with thin crust, to be fair. I do enjoy a standard, regular sliz-o-piz anytime. This is where I find the question inherently flawed: because “deep dish versus thin crust” is like saying to us, “Do you like ales or lagers?” That’s too vague! A porter and an IPA are both ales, but I would argue that a cream ale and a pilsner have far more in common, but they’re different. So you talk about deep dish versus thin crust and it’s like, Okay, are you talking deep dish versus real Italian-style? If it’s a big, floppy—I think New York style is the biggest bullshit. If you have to alter your food

FOX: You just told me to go fuck myself

for altering my food. Dipping pizza is a huge thing for me. That’s why I like a thin crust.

5 IDEAL PIZZA DRINKING BEERS BA Natural Liberty Subtle hop character complements nicely without being overpowering. This beer does a great job of pairing with any pizza sauce and style. It’s always my go-to at home when I have pizza.

BA TV Wolf

RUBY: I don’t have a problem with dipping pizza. I have a problem with folding pizza.

More aggressive on the hops than Natural Liberty, this can bring out some of the spiciness of a pizza if you like but also can cut through the richness of cheese. IPAs/pales are generally my favorite beer to have with pizza, especially a deep dish.

FOX: How thick are we folding here? Are

Miller High Life

we talking a complete fold or like a soft cusp in the hand?

RUBY: Complete fold. FOX: I see. One reason I don’t like deep

dish is having to use— I see it as a challenge, because you have to use a knife and fork. One thing I hate is taking a bite, with the thin crust, and having it fall apart. It seems so wrong to overload something so pure and honest.

RUBY: All pizza is honest. It’s like, God loves all his children, you know? FOX: Yeah.

Preferably with Jack’s, because college.

Anchor Steam An alternative to TV Wolf, the mild malt character of this beer can sooth a pizza that’s got a lot of spice but is still dry enough where it cleans the palate and cuts the acidity of the sauce. The dryness also helps cut through the cheese.

Ommegang Hennepin A more delicate beer than the others, it’s ideal for a super hot day and a pizza with minimal toppings (ie, a margherita), allowing the pizza to shine but never losing the beer in the mix. — STEVE RUBY

DECONSTRUCTED PIZZA

e rang up some chefs around the city and pondered if they’d be willing to deconstruct some pizzas into their signature, fancy-schmancy dishes. After all, dressing up pizza with some tweezer work and a little molecular gastronomy is like taking an already-attractive person out for a “makeover”: you can’t really make it bad. So Cerulean head chef Alan Sternberg and Pizzology/Libertine head chef Paul Haveck took on our challenge.

STERNBERG

Brioche crust with pizza crust spices, fresh and dehydrated heirloom tomatoes, basil, torched mozzarella puree, and tomato snow. Sternberg made his tomato snow by putting tomato water (ultra-filtered tomato juice) on an anti-griddle, a flat frozen surface that freezes things on contact (and makes for a tense, one-shot chance at photographing food with snow on it).

HAVECK

Spherified mozzerella puree, fried basil, grilled crust, tomato granita. Haveck used the traditional spherification method, which involves dissolving one reactant into the puree and dropping it into a second, which forms a thin skin around the blobs of mozzarella.

Big Car’s taking over the circle until October. Here are the artists making it happen.

ou know all of the green furniture around the circle these days? It is part of Big Car’s project Spark, a creative placemaking experiment funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, City of Indianapolis and Central Indiana Community Foundation. Behind the booths, games and projects there are local artists who are out working every single day. We decided to chat with them about their experiences so far. Visit circlesprk.org for daily events. Megan Hart ... art teacher at the Indianapolis Art Center and IPS on the As You Wish booth that is open on Wednesdays. THE IDEA: “It’s a chance for people to have their wish granted for them in the interpretation of the artist,” says Hart. Passersby can sit down and tell artists what their one wish would be. They then use pipe cleaners, paper and anything else available to them to make a mini representation of it and gift it to the wisher.

Musician John Flannelly ... on Mellow Mondays. THE IDEA: Experimental ambient music to be present at each show. “Hour-long sets are long for most people,” says Flannelly. “So it really makes them stretch their wings.” WHO: Duncan Kissinger performed recently. He chose to use five fans with microphones in front of them and had the audio lines going through a mixer. WHY IT MATTERS: “There are a lot of passersby who may or may not be famillar with it. There can be a lot of reactions. There is the opportunity to expose people to something they wouldn’t normally get from Downtown Indianapolis. It’s a nice opportunity to put experimental music in people’s faces whether they want it or not.”

Big Car’s ‘DoSeum’ artist On nuvo.net there is an additional profile of Beatriz Vasquez, the papel picado artist who designed the mobile museum that is floating around Monument Circle. Her work began after traveling to visit family in Mexico, where she saw the traditional paper artwork. She became inspired to make large-scale versions of the work when she returned home. Her artwork has since been featured as the set of La Casa Azul and with Big Car’s placemaking downtown.

WTF IS THE GREEN DOWNTOWN STUFF?

Deadline for submission is Aug. 31. The winner will be announced Sept. 14. Indiana Governor’s Arts Awards The Indiana Arts Commission is currently taking submissions from artists interested in creating the 2015 Indiana Governor’s Arts Awards. The winner will be asked to create three to five versions of unique artwork that incorporates part of the Indiana Constitution Elm tree. The Arts Commission will provide a commission of $5,000 for creation of the awards. The call is open to all visual artists 18 years and older who are legal residents of Indiana.

THIS WEEK

Stephen Giles ... of Know No Stranger on sitting in the Listening Booth. THE IDEA: To have a table where people can sit and speak without judgment or necessary interruption. SHOCKING MOMENTS: “It’s surprising how much people desire to be heard,” says Giles. “You know a lot of times when we are talking to each other as people we are just waiting for our turns to talk. But in this I am really trying hard to listen to people and what they have to say. … It’s kind of like a secular confessional.”

THE REQUESTS: “This time I’ve had: a loving family, giraffe, sports car, pizza and private jet,” says Hart. She has also been asked for a million dollars. She cut up yarn, put it in a bag and labeled it “one million doll hairs.” YOUR THOUGHTS ON PUBLIC ART: “I think of art as a way of interacting and looking at the world. You don’t have to be able to draw anything to be able to think in the way that an artist does. That way of thinking can help you appreciate something, especially the mundane things… thinking as an artist can make your experience of a place more meaningful.”

Indiana Historical Society historical actor, Erin Cohenour ... on three roaming historical characters who walk around the circle on Thursdays. WHO IS YOUR CHARACTER: First Lady Esther Ray, the wife of the fourth governor of Indiana. “This was long before the monument was there,” says Cohenour. “They had thought about the city and planned to put the governor’s mansion on the circle. They never really consulted Mrs. Ray, and when the house was completed it was just a disaster. There was no kitchen, the floor plan was terrible, it was damp, it was unhygienic. And furthermore she just didn’t want her washing to be hung out on Monday morning for all the city to see. So she refused to live there. That’s why a governor has never lived on the circle. WHY BE ON THE CIRCLE: “Indianapolis’ history is so long, our bicentennial is next year, so there was almost a hundred years before the monument was there, where there were still really cool things going on in the Circle.”

ARTIST CALLOUTS

Figurative sculptor Chris Dance ... on the booth Forensic Friends that’s open on Saturdays. THE IDEA: An artist draws a portrait based only on verbal descriptions. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE: “People get to realize that they know a person and they recognize them, but having to describe someone visually is a whole other language,” says Dance. “It’s fun for me too. It’s like they are the artist but they are using my hand. … But to see people engage in that activity of really studying a person and getting to know that act of being an artist. Even if it’s just the act of seeing, you know. That’s been the best part for me, seeing people light up and see how special the people in their lives are.” — EMILY TAYLOR

INDYFRINGE FAVORITES

The Eulogy (Michael Burgos) Aug 17, 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 21, 10:30 p.m.; Aug. 22, 6 p.m. You don’t want a eulogy the likes of “The Eulogy” performed at your funeral, or anyone you know. But if you like wildly offbeat humor served with a side dish of obscenity, do not miss this one man show. The dude giving the eulogy is often channeling Antonio Banderas — and trying to seduce the widow of the deceased Thomas. The dude delivering the eulogy is Michael Burgos, a graduate of the internationally renowned École Philippe Gaulier. And it’s not hyperbole to label him a comic genius: Not only is Burgos insanely funny, but he has a knack for switching from one character impression to another as adroitly as Mario Andretti switches gears during the Indy 500. Channeling George W. Bush, he comments on the inevitability of the deceased’s death, saying “one plus one equals dead.”And he’s good enough to let us know how Thomas died. He eulogized, this time channeling prosperity gospel televangelist Creflo Dollar of all people. — DAN GROSSMAN Musician’s Union Hall, 325 N.

We attended every Fringe show. Here are the handful that made the top of our list. New/Next/Now (Dance Kaleidoscope) Many have questioned the placement of a dance troupe in the lineup. Dance Kaleidoscope has taken the opportunity to carry the ideas of Fringe into their show design. The set runs with seven dances, all choreographed by company dancers. Jillian Godwin’s “Flashes of Life” and Justin Sears-Watson’s “Speak Easy” stood out for technical innovation and sheer entertainment value. The choreography in the DK show was overall a perfect representation of what Fringe is all about, letting performers try something new. — EMILY TAYLOR Theatre on the Square Mainstage, 627 E.

The show has some of the best one-liners in all of Fringe. “Satan invented Twitter,” for example. The show uses catchy songs and musical narration throughout.

Whisper into My Good Ear (Vintage Players) Aug. 22, 10:30 p.m.; Aug. 23, 6 p.m. This delightful two-hander featuring Pat O’Brien (not to be missed in Underneath the Lintel) and Larry Ripp takes place on a park bench in New York City in 1962 as the two discuss life, relationship, and belonging. The result is likely what we’d see if Harold Pinter had written a Laurel and Hardy sketch — a happy medium between Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story and a scene or two from John Cariani’s Almost, Maine. The chemistry between O’Brien and Ripp is as impeccable as their characterization, while the show’s pacing hits every beat as the action unfolds toward a moving climax. Simple theater at its finest. — LAURENCE BROWN IndyFringe Basile Theatre, 719 E.

Oscar Muñoz knows how to work an audience. He’s big and bold and hilarious. And, oh yeah, he does magic. It’s the standard fare of tricks with ropes, cards, rings, balls, birds, bunnies and balloon animals, but there is nothing pedestrian about the way they’re delivered. This Texan is a natural comedian, completely in tune with his audience. I heard a breathy “Whaaat?” from a bewildered woman and watched children absolutely squeal with delight.

ON DECEPTION AND PLACE

BY R ITA K O H N RKOHN@NU VO . N ET

ast Words sucks us down into the proverbial rabbit hole on page one with its unrelenting carnivalesque smoke and mirrors. Four-hundred and twenty pages later we’re belched out in a whoosh, grasping for some reality. The story shows how truthfulness is hard to come by in the Southern Indiana town of Garrison. It exemplifies privilege and notarizes the exactness of small, insular places — in this case, a town emerging above a network of caves. They don’t want probing, above or below ground, even though one of those caves is the setting for an unsolved mystery. The book’s well-drawn characters are awfully close to the bone of an actual populace. Mark Novak, a seductively flawed hero thrust into a quest of Athenian proportions by his boss, is instructed to go, take a look, file a report and come home fast. He is asked to scope out a low-profile Midwest cold case and determine if it’s remotely worthy of a high profile investigation by a Floridabased firm dedicated to speaking for the wrongfully accused on death rows across the nation. Novak feels everyone is implicated and that no one is trustworthy. An unsettled vibe is a key element throughout Michael Koryta’s newest detective novel. I’ve somehow missed reading TINY CHAT

his previous books. It doesn’t matter — Last Words stands on its own as a work by a storyteller of consequence. Ultimately it’s the issue of asking the key question, which is not what happened, not how it happened, but WHY. That’s the wizardry of Koryta. Without telling us we should care, be involved, it happens; we find ourselves dealing with loss, family, shame, justice, closed-mindedness, memory (and loss thereof), revelations, last words — that’s the sticking point, by the way, the burden of “last words” in any parting. With his meticulous writing in Last Words, Koryta brings the same kind of attention to Southern Indiana and its caves, caverns and sinkholes that Larry D. Sweazy brings to the rich farmland of northern Indiana in The Devil’s Bones

CLASSIFIEDS

Best-selling Indiana author releases his new detective book and Ronald Tierney brings to Indianapolis in his Deets Shanahan series. How does place — its geographic connotations — shape us individually and as a community? Koryta gives us a picture of his protagonist being shaped by the Plains states, the Southwest and Florida’s Gulf Coast. Yet on page 393 we find an anthem to the place where the glacier stopped 2,000 years ago, leaving a landscape disparate from the rest of the state. “[I]t’s actually a hell of a nice little town,” says one character in the work. “I’ve always enjoyed it. Haven’t enjoyed all the people, and that’s more than mutual, but I like the place. Growing up, kids were always talking about getting out of here. For what? I’d say…. Tell you something that makes me happy — cutting grass and plowing snow. You can see your work. See the mess that was there before you, and how nice and clean it is when you’re done. How orderly.” That’s something to chew on. n

KORYTA’S BLOOMINGTON HOME, AND WHAT INSPIRED LAST WORDS

This is Koryta’s first book set in Indiana in the last five years, marking it what he calls a “return to his roots.” We spoke with him about the novel’s origins. NUVO: What place inspired this book? MICHAEL KORYTA: That goes all the way back to childhood. I grew up Bloomington. I grew up outside of town … I would hear stories from older neighbors. One in particular was ... an elderly gentleman who owns the farm closest to us, about the caves that had once existed and people actually lived in them … From that point on I had an interest in the caves in Indiana.

NUVO: You were a private detective for

a while, correct? KORYTA: Yes, until So Cold the River was published in 2010 that was my full-time job. I started as an intern before I had my driver’s license. It was my day job until I was able to support myself strictly from writing. NUVO: Is detective work as dramatic as it sounds? KORYTA: It has some absolutely fascinating days. But that is surrounded with monotonous and tedious days. … I am trying to think of a way to describe how boring sitting in a surveillance car for 12 hours watching nothing is. I guess that speaks for itself (laughs).

NUVO: Did your time as a detective play

a big role in this book?

KORYTA: The idea of [of Last Words]

came directly from a case I worked on. We worked with a group called the Innocence Project on a death penalty defense case. Actually, the client won exhonoration after spending a decade in prison. Working on that case was one of the most fascinating cases I have ever worked on, but the idea of the Innocence Project … is such a cool structure and would lend itself nicely to a fictional series. … that case is where the essence of Last Words and the character of Mark Novak really came from.

SELECTED WORKS FROM THE AL-MUTANABBI STREET STARTS HERE COALITION e Through Aug. 28. In 2007, a car bomb exploded on Al-Mutanabbi Street in a mixed Sunni-Shiite area in Baghdad, killing 30 and injuring more than a hundred. This street just so happened to be the historic center of Baghdadi bookselling and a popular shopping district, where you could sip cardamom-spiced coffee and savor the banned book you just bought from the local bookselling stand. This tragedy is commemorated by an exhibition of work selected from the Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition, sponsored by the Harrison Center for the Arts and the IUPUI University Library — the only permanent repository of this collection in the U.S. The Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition was founded, according to the promotional text for the show, by San Francisco-based bookseller, Beau Beausoleil. According to the text, “Beausoleil rallied a community of international artists and writers to produce a collection of letterpress-printed broadsides (posterlike works on paper), artists books (unique works of art in book form) and an anthology of writing, all focused on expressing solidarity with Iraqi booksellers, writers, and readers.” One of the works that captures the violence of the car bomb explosion is entitled “Looking Backward, Winward, and Celebration” by Stephanie Mahan Stigliano which uses sewn, collaged and painted vintage postcards sewn together in book form, but seemingly exploded outwards as if this book was there in the moment of explosion. And this work captures the paradox of trying to capture the violence of a violent act. Whether it’s Al-Mutanabbi Street or the fall of the Twin Towers or the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, these are events that can be measured in seconds. It might take years to recover from such an event – if recovery is possible. The work that best captures this particular paradox is “Remembrance” by Julie Shaw Lutts. Consisting of four small accordion books, made from maps of Iraq, each fold acts as an entry in an Arabic-English dictionary. But this particular dictionary of knowledge and loss, of recovery and healing is divided into four parts, the first of which “To Seek to Know” gives definitions of Al-Mutanabbi Street before the attack. The other books are “A Sudden Attack, “Pain and Grief,” and “Recovery.” Since the artist didn’t know Arabic before composing these entries, it was a struggle for her to find the right definitions. The final book “Recovery” is housed in a glass box which, according to the artist, symbolizes “the delicate balance of peace.” And it’s a balance that, as Islamic State attacks continue in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere make clear, can be disrupted again at any time. — DAN GROSSMAN Harrison Center for the Arts

FINDING YOUR PLACE IN THE TRIBE

The story of David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky

B Y ED J O H N S O N - O TT EJO H N S O N O T T @ N U V O . N E T

he End of the Tour is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Of course, some film-goers will disagree. Loudly. Call it the Boyhood effect. Where some enjoy a rich, engaging study of the human experience, others complain that there’s no story – just talking and talking and talking. Indeed, the film is a series of conversations between two people over the course of five days. Sometimes painful, often funny conversations. There’s no romance, mystery or action – just relatable talk. Done right, that’s all you need, and The End of the Tour does it right. In 1996 Rolling Stone sent writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) on a fiveday interview with David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel, in peak form), author of the highly acclaimed novel, Infinite Jest. Imagine spending five days with a stranger whose job is to take your words and create a portrait of you in print. Wallace was uneasy about the notion. The Wallace feature wasn’t published. In an interview with Lipsky 12 years later, Rolling Stone stated “as is often the case in the magazine business, a series of events took place – a rock star’s untimely death, a heated political season – and the profile never saw publication.” Imagine spending five days being interviewed only to learn the piece would not be printed. In 2008 David Foster Wallace killed himself. Lipsky took all those tapes and wrote the 2010 memoir on which the film is based, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace. Wallace’s family has disavowed the film. Now that you know the background, I suggest you forget it and experience the film as if it was a work of fiction.

THE BAD, THE UGLY Pizza Ruined by Pinterest

Most of the ideas I got for this issue were inspired by things I saw on the pinning website. That also means that I encountered many pizza abominations on the site. “Crafty” types have been busy turning perfectly good, flat pizza into a variety of horrifying shapes. Pizza Cupcakes (from thereciperebel.com)

No. Just, no. I don’t understand why this is any easier than just putting pepperoni and and cheese onto, you know, a big disk of dough and cutting into individual servings. This seems to be the product of too many diet pills and not enough day job. Plus, the use of wonton wrappers means you get an eggroll crunch on the outside of pizza goo. Horrible. Pizza puffs (from pintester.com)

Again, I ask you: Why? Now the author says that this is the best use for old fridge ingredients like a half-empty jar of marinara sauce and old grated parmesan. In the sense that this is a better stop along the food waste train than going directly into the garbage, I’d have to agree. I, however, think those leftovers deserve better than to end up as chewy balls of pizza-ish “muffin” dipped in cold spaghetti sauce like a holy communion to the Patron Saint of Ennui, but that’s just me.

WELCOME TO THE PIZZA PARTY BY S A RA H M U RREL L

S MU R R E L L @ N U V O . N E T

elcome to the pizza party, bitches. In this week’s food section, I dove head-first into the world of pizza, and discovered that turning other foods into a pizza form of their original selves has a way of vastly improving any and all foods. Journey with me, won’t you, on this pizza path to better food.

BREAKFAST

LUMBERJACK’S MORNING SLICE

This is a good way to fuel up if you plan to spend your day cutting down trees, or maybe putting up with Brenda from accounting’s bullshit one more day. No matter what you plan on doing with your day, this hearty breakfast perfects the one flaw of a biscuit and gravy kind of morning, and allows you to consume it with one hand so you PHOTOS BY SARAH MURRELL can use the other one to strip fallen trees of their bark or maybe execute the perfect left turn on your way to the office. You can make your own biscuits if you’re doing a whole Martha Stewart showboating kind of thing, but I like this recipe as a way to make the canned variety a little more interesting.

Pizza Cones (from pilsbury.com)

Were you looking for a way to turn pizza into a wet chalice of failure? Well, look no further! This monstrosity basically corrals your grease mess into a drinkable saturated fat puddle, leaving one hand free to call your mother and tell her what a huge failure you are. Not only does this recipe require way too much prep time for what you’re left with, but God forbid one of those things tips over in the oven and leaves an ocean of mozzarella to crust upon the bottom of your oven.

BUY IT:

MAKE IT:

1 can refrigerated biscuits 6 oz. breakfast sausage in a tube 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 eggs 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Roll out the biscuits so they’re about 1/4 inch thick, then assemble in a round cake pan lined with foil (leave about 6 inches of extra foil on the sides of the pan to help lift it out), using cut strips of dough to form a crust on the sides. Bake at 350 for about 5-8 minutes, or until the biscuits have fully risen and just barely begun to brown. Brown your sausage until it’s cooked and very crumbly, then add your flour and mix until all the pieces are evenly coated before adding your milk. Coating your meat in the flour prevents lumps, so really stir it to make sure it’s all combined. Add the milk slowly while stirring, add salt and pepper to the pan and return to a bubbly simmer. Cook while constantly stirring until it’s extra thick, about the consistency of tomato paste. Spoon your extra thick gravy into the crust and spread it all the way to the edge. Crack your five eggs into the crust, cover with cheese and return to the oven for another ten minutes, or until the egg whites are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly. I gave mine a swirl of Sriracha on the top and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing it up.

Everything is better when it’s pizza LUMBERJACK YOGA PIZZA I don’t believe in meat substitutes. My personal love of vegetarian food comes from the deliciousness of veggies, so there will be no soy crumbles here. That said, I spent my weekend tweaking this veggie gravy recipe, and I think I have it nailed. If you want to make either of these recipes for regular biscuits and gravy, limit your flour to 2-3 tablespoons. BUY IT: 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms 1 cup shredded leeks (only up to light green part) 1 diced onion 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 cloves roasted garlic 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary Shredded hard cheese like parmesan, asiago or pecorino.

MAKE IT: Sautee your onion and leeks in butter on medium-high until softened, then add your mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender and onions begin to caramelize. Mash up your garlic in there and add your rosemary, salt and pepper. Add flour and stir to evenly coat, then add milk, stirring constantly until it returns to a simmer, then stirring frequently until it gets extra thick. Assemble eggs on top. Swap your cheddar for a hard, flavorful and salty cheese and pop it in the oven. I served this one with some lightly vinaigrette-dressed fresh arugula on top.

GETTING GRILLED PIZZA JUST RIGHT

Go a little thicker If you usually like your pizza on the thin side when you’re doing it in the oven, let it stay a little on the thicker side (about a quarter to a third of an inch).

Get out your pastry brush You want to coat your crust lightly with olive oil. Give it a second Put your dough on the grill oiledside down and let it cook for about 2 minutes, coat the top side, then flip it for about a minute before you start to top it.

Have your toppings ready to go on as fast as you can Combine as many toppings as you can before you start grilling for quick assembly. Chop all of your veggies and toss them together in a bowl. You want to get your toppings and cheese on as fast as you can and get the lid closed so your cheese gets bubbly before your crust gets burnt. The lid is your friend Even cooking requires even temperatures, so keep the lid shut and check on them as minimally as possible. If your toppings need more

time to melt but your crust is done (your nose knows on this one) move it off of the direct heat and over to the unheated side of the grill, close the lid, and let the cheese melt for 3 to 5 more minutes. Use your grill to reheat pizza for the best leftovers ever When you’ve got a pizza that needs reviving, preheat your grill on high, then throw your leftover pie on the hot griddle, turn it off, and close the lid. Two to three minutes later, you should have a bubbly, crispy pie that’s ready to go for round two.

CINNAMON MEGAROLL What’s the universal problem with cinnamon rolls? You never feel like you get enough icing. Turn those rolls into one giant wheel of dough and suddenly, you have a vehicle for copious toppings. There’s no easier way to punch up store-bought canned cinnamon rolls than throwing a handful of nuts on top to toast during the last five minutes. As a bonus, those nuts provide extra surface area, which means each bite will have a little extra icing coating on top. Swapping the canned stuff for homemade icing is also an easy way to bump up the flavor a little, and you can use whatever flavor you want, like hazelnut or almond extract for variety. You can also swap the milk for a fruit juice if you want to give your cinnamon buns a few layers of flavor. BUY IT:

MAKE IT:

1 can cinnamon rolls 1 cup broken pecans 2 cups confectioners sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon milk

Unroll your cinnamon bun dough into long strips. Starting at the center, start joining them into one giant cinnamon roll, leaving about an 8th inch gap in between the strips in the center. Otherwise, if you want a super-gooey center of your giant roll, stick it all together in a cake or pie pan and bake according to the package directions. About five minutes before the rolls are done, pull it out and sprinkle your pecans over top and return to the oven. Mix your sugar, butter, flavoring and milk in a separate bowl and beat until smooth. Pour over the warm cinnamon buns and cut into slices.

THE WATERMELON SUNDAE SUPERSLICE Yes, it’s a big name for a raw pizza, but there’s a lot going on here. Whether you have children in the house or just the palate of one, this makes eating fruit into something akin to what you’d do on the couch at midnight on Saturday (if you’re living right). If you have a handful of leftover blueberries or, like me, a halfoverripe kiwi and some strawberries, you can slice them into fruit pizza toppings, add some whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and suddenly you have a dessert that, on the surface, looks like you really put some care into. Also, it legitimately tastes amazing. BUY IT:

Watermelon, sliced into 1-inch whole rounds Other fruit (I used strawberries sliced into “pepperonis” and kiwi diced like green pepper, then tossed some blueberries on top at the end) Whipped cream in a can Chocolate syrup

DIABETES PIZZA There’s no other name you could call this thing. Basically, you take the wonder that is prepackaged cookie dough, smash it into a flat disk in a cake pan, and bake yourself up a cookie pizza. And since the true zen of pizza is to become a vehicle for delicious toppings, we used the opportunity to try to make our feet fall off by adding a “sauce” of Nutella and a bunch of candy on top. Meanwhile, we’ll be starting a GoFundMe so that all of the NUVO staff can get our inevitable cavities filled. BUY IT:

MAKE IT:

12 oz. pre-made cookie dough 1 cup Nutella Assorted chocolate candies Toasted coconut for “cheese”

Shape your dough into the bottom of a round cake pan until it’s of even thickness. It helps to line the pan with foil with those same 6-inch tails of foil to help lift it out. Bake according to the package directions, and remove when the center of the cookie no longer moves when you shake the pan. The edges will be crunchy and brown while the center is soft. While it’s still warm, dump the Nutella on top and spread when it’s warm and easy. After it cools for at least 30 minutes, lift it out and add your candy on top. Slice it thin if you want your friends to live, or thick if you want them to die.

If your mouth isn’t watering by the time you’ve reached the back of this edition of NUVO, we question your basic humanity. After all, you’ve swallowed more than 10 pages of pizza-related musing by this point. If your finger isn’t on a phone button about to ring up Bazbeaux to order a Collosus (yes, in the music section, we play pizza favorites), well, who are you? We’ve already stuffed like seven pieces in our mouths today. So, in keeping with our delicious theme of the week, we present: the two best and one worst things related both to pizza and music to go down in Indy in the last 12 months.

Everything’s coming up roses for Beach Slang’s James Snyder

BY K A TH ERIN E C O P L E N KCOPL EN@NU VO . N ET

ames Snyder is up to something when I call – some secret recording project – and I almost get him to tell me what it is. But then he remembers he can't say much except it's a “cool thing” and he'll make sure his press person emails me as soon as it's done. The Philly scene veteran (he led punk heroes Weston for many years before the band dissolved) seems invigorated by his new project Beach Slang, a dizzyingly hardcharging guitar rock outfit with a two EPs worth of heartbroken anthems. They've got a full-length in the bag, a tour with The Hotelier that stops in Indy on Tuesday, plus that new secret project — and like Snyder said in a call with me last week, they've got plenty more cards up their sleeves. NUVO: You mentioned the chemistry with JP [Flexner, drums] and Ed [McNulty, bass] a lot in interviews. Can you define what it is about them as musicians, their playing and instincts that makes them work so well with you on this particular project? JAMES SNYDER: I think Beach Slang songs and records would be a lot sappier [without them]. I craft these sort of sadslash-hopeful-longing songs, right? And then I take it into the rehearsal space, and those guys give them muscle. JP is a real thundering drummer. And Ed just has really good sensibilities. You know how some bass players will just start slapping the thing, or trying to be crazy with the doo, doo, doo [imitates a bass run]. He just does the thing that needs to be done, sits in that pocket, fills up that nice space there. An intensity, an urgency comes with these songs once they leave my room and go into that rehearsal space. Some of that's the function of turning up and being loud, but more of it's just they're doing the thing. We synched into that role within the first couple of minutes we played. I was just telling this story a few days ago. The first song I ever brought into them was “Filthy Luck.” The first time we played it we stopped and had this weird moment where we looked at each other. It was just like, “I guess we're a band now.” It was really that easy. It's been great. NUVO: You had all of this momentum and options going into the studio off the strength

BEST 1. Fountain Square’s Pizza King solidified this year as a host for DIY rock shows. Haven’t checked it out yet? You’ll have a chance next week at Chreece, a huge hip-hop festival taking over Fountain Square with sets booked for, yes, that magical Pizza King. We’ll have a special insert telling you everything you could possibly want to know about Chreece next week. But if you can imagine a better day than a full day of hip-hop while eating a hot slice of pepperoni, well, email us. Because we can’t.

The second thing I wanted to make sure happened was that we approached it with the same spirit that we promised each other we would always approach it with. We would turn up, plug in, hit record. It's first or second WHEN: TUESDAY, AUG. 25, 7 P.M. WHERE: HOOSIER DOME, 1627 PROSPECT ST. take; we don't want to bleed the soul out of TICKETS: $10 IN ADVANCE, $12 AT DOOR, ALL-AGES these things. So now just because we had a bit of a budget and had time, and things like that, I didn't want it to turn into like of your two EPs. What did you know you [when] bands say, “Well we have time, what definitely wanted to do in the studio sonical- if we try this? What if we have a trombonist ly, and what did you want to stay away from playing on the roof?” And it just all becomes when you were making this record? silly stuff that's cool to like, write in the liner notes, but it's not going to add anything to the record. “It’s that process of crashing and burning We're a rock and roll band. That's what that leads to the breakthrough.” we wanted to be. LIVE

— JAMES SNYDER SNYDER: Two things I definitely knew I wanted to do, and one answers what I didn't want to do: One was I wanted to make sure we didn't get painted into a corner, like, “Here's the Beach Slang sound. It's this and if they stray outside of this, I don't think we're going to want it.” I wanted to make sure the paint strokes were broader. Kind of like these guys could bring something shoegazey or Brit pop inspired and it all sort of makes sense in this weirdo Beach Slang world. That was important to me. This is only LP one; I don't already want to have no cards up the sleeve.

NUVO: For the listener, it feels like such a fast turnaround for your work: EP, EP, full-length, tour. … How have you maintained the speed and momentum of writing so much? Is it just all pouring out of you right now, and you have the time and the flexibility to do it? SNYDER: It is. Even when I didn't have the time, when I was still day-jobbing it. You know sleep to me is kind of overrated. I love to write. I do it everyday regardless of results. Most days, nothing comes out. But it's that process of crashing and burning that leads to the breakthrough. So I have songs already stockpiled once we have time. n

2. Speaking of Chreece – more specifically, its founder, Oreo Jones – did you miss Jones’ interview with Macaulay Culkin’s Velvet Underground cover band The Pizza Underground last year? A perfect melding of cheese and layers upon layers of hipster irony. Jones asked the band (a collection of Culkin’s Brooklyn artists friends) why they love pizza so much they were inspired to retool the works of Lou Reed to be extra cheesy. They (answering collectively) said, “Of course the old saying is true: Pizza is like sex. Even when it’s bad, it’s good.” WORST 1. The worst pizza music travesty is this: the Paramount Music Palace is still closed. Nay, there is not a SINGLE pizza parlor pipe organ in the entire city (to our knowledge – if we’re wrong, please enlighten us forthwith!). For those too young to remember the days of the Mighty Wurlizter: right around 465 and Washington St. for 16 glorious years, the Paramount Music Palace served hot slices and rollicking performances on a mighty theater organ. There were performances every day by keymasters like Bill Vlasak and Donna Parker (among others); Hilbert Circle Theatre house organist Martin Ellis has said his first exposure to theatre organ was at the Paramount Pizza Palace. The Palace closed in 1995 to make way for a Don Pablo’s (now also closed), and leaving Indy without a pizza organ. Someone must remedy this! NUVO officially throws its support behind anyone bold enough to remount the glorious days of the pizza organ. We’ll even bring the pizza. — KATHERINE COPLEN For much more pizza coverage, flip to page 9.

n the three years since PictureYes released debut-album Rivals, a lot has changed. The band now features bassist Lindsay Manfredi on lead vocals, for one thing. And they’ve developed quite the reputation as a touring band, opening regularly for Buckcherry, Jane’s Addiction and Saving Abel in venues across the country. It is the latter which will bring them back to Indianapolis for a hometown show at the 5th Quarter Lounge on August 19, giving local fans the chance to hear the new sound firsthand as the band shows off new songs they’ve yet to officially release. “Our former lead singer had a wife, kids, a job, and he wanted to focus on that,” says drummer Justin Escue. “So we started looking for a new singer, and Lindsay has fronted several bands prior to being in PictureYes. And in the midst of looking for a new singer, we figured it out: ‘Hey, Lindsay, why don’t you just sing?’ So we did a couple rehearsals like that and it was great! And people love seeing a girl rocker up there singing, playing bass.” “Yes, the last entire leg of the tour I’ve been singing,” Manfredi adds. “And there was a great response, we even had people

band’s up-front focus. “This was my first time going across the United States, and being a supporting act has been the best thing for us,” she says. “People go in knowing Saving Abel and they don’t know PictureYes so much, so it’s definitely a better situation going in for us. Now that we’ve been to these cities we’ve gotten great response.” Having now introduced themselves to listeners in cities throughout the country, Escue says PictureYes now plans to return to each city in a headlining role. “That was the idea of going out as a supporting act in the first place,” he explains. “You build it up first and then a year later you can go back as a headliner and reach out to the same crowds as before.

PictureYes, we’re a rock band … it’s not necessary to label someone like that. I know that’s not CATCHING UP WITH CREEPING PINK AFTER MIRROR WOODS RELEASE It’s been quite an eventful summer for local psychrock mastermind Landon Caldwell. After moving back from Los Angeles to Indianapolis after three years away, the former frontman of celebrated Fountain Square group Learner Dancer has joined the staff of Jimmy Peoni’s State Street Pub, where he now is in charge of booking shows. More notably though, the self-described “tape glam” artist has also dropped three new releases under his solo Creeping Pink moniker in the past four months, with July’s Mirror Woods full-length marking his biggest yet. After receiving props from NME and AllMusic, Caldwell’s latest Creeping Pink offering was officially released on July 13 via John Dwyer’s (of Thee Oh Sees fame) much-loved Castle Face Records. Referred to by Dwyer as “a beautiful album indeed,” Mirror Woods features 14 tracks of floating, Syd Barret-esque enchantment, with “many glittering gems” woven throughout. And this past Friday, the album received a proper hometown unveiling at Caldwell’s aforementioned pub of employment, with a special live lineup of Creeping Pink that also featured Mark Tester and Brian Allen of California’s Burnt Ones and Mitchell Duncan of Vacation Club. “Landon’s old band, Learner Dancer, toured the U.S. with Crys a few years ago, and we booked them a nice

show with Burnt Ones at this amazing art space in San Francisco called Engine Works,” Tester remembers. “Landon moved to San Francisco shortly afterward, and I started trying to poach him to play in Burnt Ones as soon as I found out he was wanting to do that.” After migrating from San Fran to L.A. with Burnt Ones, Caldwell began recording some of the material for Mirror Woods, while also editing down other home recordings he’d made in prior years. He remembers, “Through that process I got a good portion of the source samples and found sounds for Mirror Woods and was also able to sculpt Future Acid Family, which was just released on tape by Holy Infinite Freedom Revival.” And like his preceding Creeping Pink work, Mirror Woods was also crafted with a very personal vision in mind. “All of my creative output ties into a singular universe, built on its own accord,” he says. “Mirror Woods is one place I’ve always dreamed to live, so I made it and put my self there. Concepts and storylines unfolded everyday in the SUBMITTED PHOTO album and began to carry themselves over into my life. They manifest themselves.” This November, Caldwell will tour Europe with Creeping Pink in support of Mirror Woods, joining Burnt Ones as they also tour in support of an upcoming split 12” of their own. But until then, his only other plan is to move forward with his next music quest. “I don’t like to keep my head in the past,” he concludes. “I’m on to the next thing, whatever that is.”

STEVIE‘S WORDS, 35 YEARS LATER

he IMPD shooting of 15-year-old Andre Green really got me down last week. Whatever mistakes Green may have made that precipitated the horrifying turn of events that cost him his life, the fact remains that a child's existence was violently ended by our own public servants, on our own city streets. For me this incident represents a tragedy of significant magnitude, a sign that something is terribly wrong within the social structure of Indianapolis. During the lifespan of this column I question often what role the arts can have in interacting with the sort of social issues that are present within the case of Andre Green. In the dozens of interviews I've conducted with artists and cultural figures, I repeatedly pose that question. I've discussed the relationship between art and social justice with everyone from Chuck D of Public Enemy to the Black Panther Party's cofounder Bobby Seale. As much as I've meditated on this idea and as much as I've personally worked to meld social justice work into my own artistic practices, my thoughts often remain doubtful regarding the efficacy of art to spur meaningful social change. But one aspect of this question that I'm absolutely certain of is the irrepressible need for artists to express their voices on social issues — even when their opinions may be in direct opposition with conventional thought. We expect artists to show a keen sensitivity for beauty in their work. But with that expectation we should also be prepared for artists to hold a similar sensitivity to forces of darkness, injustice and brutality. I didn't want to write about Andre Green. I knew that any message of empathy I might express for the life of the troubled youth would likely elicit waves of angry

push-back from that segment of our society who believes an individual forfeits their humanity the moment they commit a criminal act. Even if that individual is a child. But I could not prevent thoughts of this child's tragic young life from haunting my conscience, particularly in light of all the misguided efforts to heap dirt on the child's name from those defending the police action. It would've been much simpler for me this week to have published an interview with one of the many talented Indianapolis musicians I admire, but my artistic impulses refused to comply. I can imagine that's how Stevie Wonder felt when the took the stage at Market Square Arena on the night of Thursday, November 20, 1980. Wonder was visiting Indianapolis as part of his Hotter Than July tour, a run that was politically motivated from its inception. At that time, Wonder was

He had just written and recorded "Happy Birthday" which became an unofficial anthem for the movement and he visualized the tour as a vehicle to take his message directly to the people. Wonder's visit to Indianapolis coincided with an unfolding local civil rights crisis. Just a few weeks prior to the concert on November 4, an unarmed 15-year-old black teenager named Michael Smith was shot in

the back and killed by a police officer. Smith had allegedly been near the scene of an attempted robbery and ignored an officer's order to halt. The incident made national news and sparked vigorous protests locally. While onstage at Market Square Arena, Wonder attempted to pay respect to the recently killed teen. The headline of an article written by Lynn Ford in the November 29, 1980 edition of The Indianapolis Recorder aptly sums up the Indianapolis audience's response: "Wonder's tribute to slain 15-year-old marred by protests." The article states that Wonder told the crowd of 10,000 that he'd "like to take one moment in memory and respect to the 15-year-old boy that was shot by the police.” But according to the Recorder's account, Wonder's request for silence was met with howls of protest. Wonder is undoubtedly one of the most beloved artists of the last century, but it seems there was nothing he could say to elicit empathy from the hostile segments of his Indianapolis fan-base. Of course there's nothing I can write in this column that will change the fate of Andre Green. And likely there's nothing I could write to change anyone's opinion on the whole sad ordeal, but that reality doesn't negate my personal desire to pay respect to Green. A series of news stories on Green's early life have indicated that the crippling poverty of Indianapolis may have had a devastating impact on his development. Collectively, we

can change the conditions of poverty that crushed Green's young life and I believe we have a moral obligation to do so. According to figures recently released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Indiana ranks as the 32nd worst state in the nation for overall child well being. The same study indicates that 345,000 Hoosier children live in poverty with 12 percent of all Indiana children living in high-poverty area. That figure has increased by 8 percent since 2008. We know virtually nothing of this child's life outside the sensational headlines that documented his troubled past. Likely this is how many Hoosiers will remember Green, if they remember him at all. But when I remember this child's tragic life, I'll remember the words of his 19-year-old sister Terika as captured in an Indy Star video report last week. Andre "was not a person to hold grudges," Terika remembered. "He'd say 'I love you, give me a hug.' That was his favorite word [sic], 'Give me a hug." In the words of Stevie Wonder on his 1980 visit to Indianapolis I'd "like to take one moment in memory and respect to the 15-year-old boy that was shot by the police". n

In a nutshell that’s what it is. “This time it’s a little different because we’ve started a league. We did the beat battle once every year. This year we’re going to have eight battles starting with the one at the Vogue on August 22nd. Following that event we’ll have six battles at The Hi-FI and then we’ll end with the championship battle back at the Vogue in May.

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL prof, you might be okay asking him to meet up for a drink. That said, student-prof relationships are under tight scrutiny in the new era of Title IX additions, so don’t be offended if he’s not willing to put his professional credibility at risk just for a little extra poon. If you feel real chemistry beyond just wanting to fuck each other and you really want to pursue an actual relationship (and again, I strongly caution you against any grown adult who dates people who he used to teach), shelve this one until after graduation. DR. D: As a professor myself, I agree with many people that it’s best to leave romantic/sexual relationships outside the classroom. If you’re attracted to the professor and not his student, that gives you more freedom to reach out to him and ask him on a date or for sex or whatever it is you’re interested in (assuming, of course, you are unlikely to be his student in the future). Some departments and universities have explicit policies against faculty-student sexual relationships. Sometimes these policies are perhaps a bit over-reaching, extending to any faculty-student pairing even if the student is not in that faculty member’s class at any point ever. More often, policies are specific to faculty and the students they teach, and sometimes only to the semester that student is enrolled in their course and/or otherwise subject to being graded or supervised by the faculty member. If you care about or respect the professor as a person, it’s not only wise but kind to not put him in a position where he could lose his job or otherwise get into trouble. If you end up registering for his class, my advice is not the make him uncomfortable. Flirting

SARAH: Never happened to me personally, but I did have a friend in college who experienced this and promptly dumped her man, and dabbing away excess lubrication didn’t help. Like Debby says, you can keep a towel nearby to dab away excess moisture and that might help.

DR. D: Of course! It happens. It’s also possible for a woman to produce so much vaginal lubrication when she’s aroused that she can’t adequately feel a regular sized penis, not because the penis is small but because the lubrication decreases friction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’d probably prefer to stay in the romantic, carefree state of mind. But from what I can tell, you’re ripe for a new phase of your longterm cycle. Your freestyle rambles and jaunty adventures should now make way for careful introspection and thoughtful adjustments. Instead of restless star-gazing, I suggest patient earth-gazing. Despite how it may initially appear, it’s not a comedown. In fact, I see it as an unusual reward that will satisfy you in unexpected ways. Aries

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the current astrological omens, I recommend the following activities: Sing a love song at least once a day. Seek a message from an ancestor in a reverie or dream. Revisit your three favorite childhood memories. Give a gift or blessing to the wildest part of you. Swim naked in a river, stream, or lake. Change something about your home to make it more sacred and mysterious. Obtain a symbolic object or work of art that stimulates your courage to be true to yourself. Find relaxation and renewal in the deep darkness. Ruminate in unbridled detail about how you will someday fulfill a daring fantasy. Taurus

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad is one of the foundation works of Western literature. Written in the eighth century BCE, it tells the story of the ten-year-long Trojan War. The cause of the conflict was the kidnap of Helen of Troy, reputed to be the world’s most beautiful woman. And yet nowhere in the Iliad is there a description of Helen’s beauty. We hear no details about why she deserves to be at the center of the legendary saga. Don’t be like the Iliad in the coming weeks, Gemini. Know everything you can about the goal at the center of your life. Be very clear and specific and precise about what you’re fighting for and working towards. Gemini

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The comedian puppets known as the Muppets have made eight movies. In The Great Muppet Caper, the muppets Kermit and Fozzie play brothers, even though one is a green frog and the other a brown bear. At one point in the story, we see a photo of their father, who has the coloring and eyes of Kermit, but a bear-like face. I bring up their unexpected relationship, Cancerian, because I suspect that a similar anomaly might be coming your way: a bond with a seemingly improbable ally. To prepare, stretch your ideas about what influences you might want to connect with. Cancer

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): English author Barbara Cartland published her first novel at age 21. By the time she died 77 years later, she had written more than 700 other ALLI books. Some sources say she sold 750 million copies, while others put the estimate at two billion. In 1983 alone, she churned out 23 novels. I foresee a Barbara Cartland-type period for you in the coming months, Leo. Between now and your birthday in 2016, I expect you to be as fruitful in your own field as you have ever been. And here’s the weird thing: One of the secrets of your productivity will be an enhanced ability to chill out. “Relaxed intensity” will be your calming battle cry. Virgo

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ‘’On or about December 1910, human character changed,’’ wrote English author Virginia Woolf in 1924. What prompted her to draw that conclusion? The rapidly increasing availability of electricity, cars and indoor plumbing? The rise of the women’s suffrage movement? Labor unrest and the death of the King? The growing prominence of experimental art by Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso? The answer might be all of the above, plus the beginning of a breakdown in the British class system. Inspired by the current astrological omens, I’ll borrow her brash spirit and make a new prediction: During the last 19 weeks of 2015, the destiny of the Virgo tribe will undergo a fundamental shift. Ten years from now, I bet you will look back at this time and say, “That was when everything got realigned, redeemed and renewed.” Virgo

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Hundreds of years ago, Hawaiians celebrated an annual holiday called Makahiki. It began in early November and lasted four months. No one worked very much for the duration. There were nonstop feasts and games and religious ceremonies. Community-building was a featured theme, and one taboo was strictly enforced: no war or bloodshed. I encourage you Scorpios to enjoy a similar break from your daily fuss. Now is an especially propitious time to ban conflict, contempt, revenge and sabotage as you cultivate solidarity in the groups that are important for your future. You may not be able to make your own personal Makahiki last for four months, but could you at least manage three weeks? Scorpio

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Museum of Failed Products is a warehouse full of consumer goods that companies created but no one wanted to buy. It includes caffeinated beer, yogurt shampoo, fortune cookies for dogs and breath mints that resemble vials of crack cocaine. The most frequent visitors to the museum are executives seeking to educate themselves about what errors to avoid in their own companies’ future product development. I encourage you to be inspired by this place, Sagittarius. Take an inventory of the wrong turns you’ve made in the past. Use what you learn to create a revised master plan. Sagittarius

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble,” said psychologist Carl Jung. “They can never be solved, but only outgrown.” I subscribe to that model of dealing with dilemmas, and I hope you will consider it, too — especially in light of the fact that from now until July 2016 you will have more power than ever before to outgrow two of your biggest problems. I don’t guarantee that you will transcend them completely, but I’m confident you can render them at least 60 percent less pressing, less imposing and less restricting. And 80 percent is quite possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” Virtually all of us have been guilty of embodying that well-worn adage. And according to my analysis of the astrological omens, quite a few of you Capricorns are currently embroiled in this behavior pattern. But I am happy to report that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to quit your insanity cold turkey. In fact, the actions you take to escape this bad habit could empower you to be done with it forever. Are you ready to make a heroic effort? Here’s a good way to begin: Undo your perverse attraction to the stressful provocation that has such a seductive hold on your imagination. Capricorn

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it,” confessed the late, great author David Foster Wallace. Does that describe your experience, too? If so, events in the coming months will help you break the pattern. More than at any other time in the last ten years, you will have the power to liberate yourself through surrender. You will understand how to release yourself from overwrought attachment through love and grace rather than through stress and force. Aquarius

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Most people love in order to lose themselves,” wrote Hermann Hesse in his novel Demian. But there are a few, he implied, who actually find themselves through love. In the coming months, Pisces, you are more likely to be one of those rare ones. In fact, I don’t think it will even be possible for you to use love as a crutch. You won’t allow it to sap your power or make you forget who you are. That’s good news, right? Here’s the caveat: You must be ready and willing to discover much more about the true nature of your deepest desires — some of which may be hidden from you right now. Pisces
