o let’s get this straight: The taxpayers of Philadelphia can’t evict an organization that blatantly violates city law with its bigoted policies from a publicly owned building that it rents for free (technically, $1 a year). Wait, what? We don’t make it a point to rag on juries — it’s a thankless job — but still: Come. The. Fuck. On.
The city has let the local Boy Scouts chapter, the Cradle of Liberty Council, use a building in Logan Square, which would rent for $200,000 a year on the market, for free, despite its many economic woes, for 80 years. But the Boy Scouts, being a good Christian organization, doesn’t like Marys (atheists, too, but mainly Marys). And the city has a non-discrimination policy. So back in 2007, the city gave the Cradle of Liberty a choice: Repudiate the national Boy Scouts’ discriminatory policy, pay up, or get out. Seems fair to us. But the local Scouts chose option D: sue. And amazingly, astoundingly, they won. A federal jury found that the city was infringing on the Council’s First Amendment rights. The Scouts surely have a right to hate the gays; the Supreme Court established that back in 2000. They’re a private organization, after all. But now they have the right to effectively squat in prime city real estate and thumb their noses at this city’s efforts to become a slightly more tolerant place? Bullshit.
To be fair, the anti-gay edict comes from the national Scouts, and the national organization threatened to revoke the local council’s charter if it didn’t go along. This fact may have engendered some juror sympathy. But we have to ask: If the Boy Scouts barred blacks, instead of queers, on ostensibly religious grounds, would the jury have been so sympathetic? When you get down to it, the principle is the same. As part of the Scouts’ lease, the city still has the right to evict the organization for no reason at all; it just can’t do so for violating the city’s anti-discrimination law. That makes perfect sense. U.S. District Judge Ronald Buckwalter reportedly told the jury that he hoped the two sides could negotiate a deal. How’s this for a deal: Get out of our building.
Get out of our building.

While we’re in a bitchy mood, let’s chat for a second about the jobs bill that Senate Republicans blocked — as in, filibustered, as in, not even allowing it to come up for a vote, even though 57 >>> continued on adjacent page

senators supported it — last Thursday.
E VA N M . L O P E Z
The Republicans — who couldn’t vote fast enough for George W. Bush’s deficit-exploding tax cuts and wars — complained about the $30 billion the bill would add to deficit. Let’s get real: They want the economy to fail. It’s good politics. Either that, or the modern GOP really is a party of idiots who don’t comprehend basic macroeconomics. Take your pick. They know (or should know) that short-term deficit spending like this isn’t the problem; the long-term, systematic issues, things like Medicare, are driving our debt. But voting against economic recovery measures under the banner of austerity means the economy will continue to sputter along, which means Republicans will be able to campaign by complaining about the Obama administration’s lacking job creation. It’s a beautiful strategy, in a despicable, shameful kind of way. The Senate’s failure to pass the bill means that nearly 1 million people will have their unemployment benefits cut off. The bill also included some $16 billion in aid to cash-strapped states, who had been counting on the money since both houses of Congress passed aid bills earlier this year (though not the same bill, which means it never got to President Obama’s desk to become law). Now many states, including Pennsylvania, will have to make
cuts, and as many as 900,000 more people nationwide could find themselves jobless. Awesome, huh? Here’s what it could mean for the Keystone State, according to a letter Gov. Ed Rendell, along with 41 other governors, wrote in February urging Congress to extend the stimulus law’s Medicaid funding (a part of the defeated bill): “Last year we cut spending by $1.75 billion … . We have eliminated over 4,500 state positions and cut our fleet and energy costs dramatically … . Without this extension of federal fiscal relief, Pennsylvania will be forced not only to cope with [$1 billion] less in state revenue, but we will need to address a $2 billion loss in state and federal revenues combined. … Given this reality, the number of jobs lost as a result of our state deficit is likely to double if this … extension is not enacted.” According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, that means cutting domestic violence spending in half, eliminating all state funds for homelessness and substance abuse and funding cuts for child welfare, among other things. There’s still a chance that the Medicaid funding could be passed separately — and indeed, governors from across the country went to Washington, D.C., this week to lobby for just that — though given the intransigence of the GOP minority, we kind of doubt it. See, they’d rather win an election. Remember that the next time one of these cold-hearted pricks whines about “Where’s the jobs?” or whatever. ³ A PARTY MIGHT CHEER US UP

ORGY! ³ IT’S NOT EVERY week that Man Overboard!
delivers a scoop as hot, as lurid, as scandalous — as made-for-TV — as what I’m about to lay on you. A teaser: It has to do with July’s Philadelphia magazine, which details rumors of an affair between Gov. Ed Rendell and former Miss and Mrs. Pennsylvania Kirstin Snow, a state worker. Both deny it. I don’t know beans about Rendell and Snow, nor do I care. People have sex. How, where, when and with whom should be, with very few exceptions, between them and partners — politicians, too. You won’t find Man Overboard! lurking in any hotel lobbies or Argentinean airports, no sir. You will find me mucking through the state’s campaign finance records, from which I bring tidings of no mere affair, but of the Grand Orgy itself: the wild, unrestrained, butt-naked coupling of special interests and our government in Harrisburg. You can bet Rendell’s got a nook in that Roman bathhouse — but so does most of the rest of the legislature, whose romps with the big spenders have been welllubricated by decades of laws that allow virtually limitless campaign donations. A tax on Marcellus Shale gas drilling, for example — offered in place of a moratorium until the practice can be studied — is now revealed to exempt as many as 60 percent of Shale wells from taxation. The industry says it cannot afford the tax; but it can afford plenty of donations: Like thousands from gas companies to Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee Chairwoman Mary Jo White (R-21st District), who, during her committee’s recent hearing on the explosion of a Shale well, referred to Chesapeake Energy Vice President David Spigelmyer as “Dave,” interrupted testimony to comment that many of the gas industry’s hundreds of violations this year were simply “administrative and paperwork” issues, and penned an op-ed just days later titled, “Natural-Gas Drilling Is Tightly Regulated.” She’s got the “tightly” part right. These, of course, are but a few scattered glimpses of the unholy bacchanal: Every special interest in the state — oil, gas, gambling, telecom — has its special someones in Harrisburg. It’s the politicians who are supposed to keep their belts buckled. Bill 2162, which would limit contributions, is currently making its way through the House. It’s just the cold shower Harrisburg needs. In the meantime, to Rendell and the entire legislature, I say go forth and have at it — but stick to humans. ✚ Isaiah Thompson sticks to humans, really.

You know what’s truly a befuddling sight? A Penn Treaty Park full of overweight, Arctic Splash-slurping Fishtowners who aren’t shirtless. As we approached these rare specimens last Wednesday evening, though, we noticed something odd: They were all wearing the same white T-shirts, which read, “Philly loves a winner!” on the front pocket and “SugarHouse Casino” on the back. Oy vey. As it turns out, SugarHouse was throwing a fourth annual fête, presumably in hopes of persuading the neighborhood that the casino, due to open this September, is a good thing — as opposed to, you know, the beginning of a citywide gambling addiction epidemic. In addition to handing out complimentary tees, SugarHouse employees dished out bland cakes, cookies and water. (But they were free, so we ate them.) John Clark and His Little Big Band played a piss-poor rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.” A flock of baby boomers and seniors in SugarHouse T-shirts bounced up and down to the beat — in their chairs. It was, in a word, depressing. But we should get used to SugarHouse encroaching in on Penn Treaty Park now: Come September, there will be a multipurpose trail along the waterfront connecting the casino and PTP. SugarHouse, for its part, insists the party was just an attempt to make Grandma happy. “We had the event because it’s something we knew the seniors would enjoy,” says SugarHouse spokeswoman Leigh Whitaker. We bet they’ll enjoy those slots, too.

³ PENTIMENTI GALLERY After a long week, sometimes you just want to look at something pretty. Which is not to say the shortlived summer group show at Christine Pfister’s Old City gallery — aptly titled “Three Weeks Only!” — is without substance to back up its sharp style. Pfister’s chosen one or two standout works from nine artists, all of whom share an aesthetic that’s equal parts pleasing and powerful. Watch for: Iranian multimedia artist Hadieh Shafie, who wrote “Love” in Farsi on each of thousands of tiny pieces of paper, rolled them up tight and stuffed them into a frame like a pack of cigarettes; UArts grad Matthew Kucynski, whose sequence of pretty girls in sweet dresses tells a dark tale that’s everunfolding; and Jackie Tileston, a painter whose palette in Benevolent Uproar (pictured) represents a patchwork of countries visited and lessons learned. Opening reception Fri., July 2, 6-8:30 p.m., free, through July 17, 145 N. Second St., 215-625-9990, pentimenti.com. ³ AND THEN THERE’S … Two Piazza openings worth noting: The brand-new Vincent Michael Gallery, run by local artist Chris M. Clark, hosts “PaperMonster Ate That Little Boy,” a sample from the titular stenciler’s oeuvre — portraits of women and their animal instincts. Opening reception Fri., July 2, 6-9 p.m., free, through July 31, 1050 N. Hancock St., Suite 63, 215-399-1580, vincentmichael.com. … While you’re at Schmidts, stroll across the concrete desert to Bambi Gallery for its first-ever Bambi Biennial, a selection of works by 32 artists hand-picked by Philadelphia Weekly art critics Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof. Expect tote-bag hats, hair portraits and pacifier hand grenades. Opening reception Fri., July 2, 6-10 p.m., free, through Aug. 1, 1001 N. Second St., Suite 7, 267-319-1374, bambiproject.com.

MOVIN’ OUT (ANTHONY’S SONG): The artist, photographed in his Kensington digs, has packed up and headed west for the Institute of Contemporary Art’s “Summer Studio.” JESSICA KOURKOUNIS
[ visual art/workshop ]
ROAMIN’ HOLIDAY Local artist Anthony Campuzano makes the ICA his summer home. By John Vettese
Y
ou can see Anthony Campuzano reflected in his studio. The workspace sits on the fourth floor of a Kensington warehouse, where somebody scrawled “Pew!” in white paint on the door. He smiles when I point this out — a buddy did it after news broke that Campuzano was granted a 2009 Pew Fellowship. Inside, a desk at the window is piled with yellowing newspapers, from which he abstracts headlines and stories into thought-provoking text art. They are joined by other ageless objects of inspiration, like notes and photos. Tacked to the wall are working versions of his drawings — an original idea, a first variation, a second. Then one that approximates a finished piece we may recall hanging at his recent Fleisher-Ollman Gallery exhibit, “All Right-Still!” Works from past shows sit in nooks behind partitions. With a workspace so intertwined with its artist, it’s difficult to imagine uprooting it. But that’s what Campuzano is doing; this month he takes his desk, table and couch, his materials, books and inspirational effects, re-creating his studio at the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute of Contemporary Art. “Summer Studio With Anthony Campuzano,” opening tonight, is partly an exhibit, partly a month of interactive programming, and a touch of the artist himself being on display. This last bit makes
Campuzano nervous. “I actually have a drawing I’m going to do that addresses that,” he says. Working title: Stage Fright. But he repeatedly returns to the thought that, while he may act as the host, “Summer Studio” isn’t about Campuzano as much as creating an open, inviting, informational and exciting atmosphere for whoever wishes to participate. The series was hatched to fill a programming gap in the institute’s summer schedule. Campuzano, who coordinated the “Melody, Melody and Meg” event for his 2009 ICA exhibit “Touch Sensitive,” jumped at the chance to fill it. “Melody” was an evening of art discussion, music (featuring Meg Baird and a backing band of Philly scene all-stars Kurt Vile, Chris Wilson, Chris Smith and Jesse Trbovich) and screenings of two films named Melody. “I had one night and I wanted to do all of these things,” says Campuzano. “And we pulled it off. It was really a thrill. It’s kind of interesting this time, because we actually have more time to do a similar array of things.” The initial idea for “Summer Studio” was summer camp-esque: a group of weekly classes, a series of lectures. Like most artists, Campuzano has participated in numerous programs of that ilk, as a student and a teacher. But, “it developed into two parallel things,” Campuzano says. “Highly organized events, and also the idea that you can just come, hang out, look at things and talk.” Among the events are four classes: Campuzano leads this week-

³ ED KOWALCZYK’S BEING sued by his former Live bandmates over money and songwriting credits, but that hasn’t kept him from releasing his first solo album this week. At first glance, Alive (Soul Whisper) looks exactly like you might imagine, down to the punning title, the derivative typeface and three song titles cribbed from R.E.M. Take a listen, though, and you’ll find that all of Kowalczyk’s lyrical pretensions and vague spirituality is gone, replaced by straight-ahead paeans to the Lord. He used to seek meaning in Eastern traditions; now he’s found what he’s looking for in “Zion” and “Rome” and heard his calling in “Soul Whispers” and “Fire on the Mountain.” Like most Christian rock, Alive’s certainty comes off as both bombastic and bland, without much soul intrinsic to its lowercase-c creator. Only “The Great Beyond” transcends the sense that Kowalczyk sees himself as a mere conduit for praise. “Sometimes you’ve gotta write your own songs when you want to sing,” he intones over a percolating guitar riff, and even if that isn’t a Judas kiss-off to Live, it’s the only line with more than one dimension. In what must seem like another lifetime to Kowalczyk, he was a 22-year-old running from Christianity with no destination in mind, making stadium-ready rock with three guys he’d been playing with since they were middle-schoolers in York, Pa. Live’s second album, 1994’s Throwing Copper, is a declaration of discontent, with swipes at their hometown, their faith, their friends. The singer’s not happy with the world and he takes it out on those closest to him and on God, who seems so far. Still, he senses there’s something bigger, something kinda Buddhist, kinda New Age, kinda Christian.The album sold 8 million copies and yielded five hits, including “Lightning Crashes” and “I Alone.” Say what you will about “Selling the Drama,” which finds Kowalczyk agonizing over hell and crowing “Hey, now we won’t be raped”: It’s inconsistent in its theology, it’s got a cringeworthy chorus, it’s bombastic. But it isn’t bland. Kowalczyk’s pathos is genuine, his sentiments his own. I’d sooner buy that than the generic good news he’s peddling now. (m_fine@citypaper.net)

For better or (too often) for worse, all involved gamely play by the Duplasses’ made-up-on-the-fly rules. That fact may lead to a few frustrated audiences if anyone shows up expecting to see a raucous, sub-Apatovian comedy. Jay and Mark Duplass, who share writing and directing chores, certainly seem to play with those expectations, delighting in subverting them. It is a film defined far more by what it pointedly is not than by anything it actually is. In its basic outline, however, the story is not so far removed from the likes of Step Brothers: John C. Reilly plays John, a divorced schlub whose ex-wife (Catherine Keener), soon to be remarried, drags him to a party where he meets the charming Molly (Marisa Tomei). Their relationship quickly blossoms, despite a hint of secrecy on her part — which turns out to be her son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill), with whom she shares a too-close relationship. The stage is thus set for an escalating battle between lover and son, but aggression is alien to the Duplass worldview, so a few early bouts of passive-aggressive sparring eventually flatline until everyone just shrugs and decides to be nicer to one another. It’s an issue that by now seems inherent to the Duplasses’ method: With such a muted narrative drive, their films amble until they stall, at which point they wander aimlessly to a limp finish. The brothers’ last film, Baghead, was a self-reflexive spoof of slasher films, with a group gathering to write a horror movie and getting trapped in a real one — sort of. Cyrus takes the same approach to the modern brand of juvenile comedy, but

When Faith No More played the Tower back in October 1992, the show came to a memorable end when Mike Patton’s evening-long taunting finally led the audience to swarm the stage. Who could forget the image of Patton singing “The Crab Song” while crowd-surfing onstage, as the rest of the band dodged people diving from the tops of the Marshall stacks? Which is to say that even in his most commercial setting, Patton always cultivates some degree of anarchy. A reunion of his most famous band may seem, on the surface, like a cash grab, coming after a decade of countless bizarro projects — collaborations with John Zorn or Rahzel, the Carl Stalling-inspired cut-and-paste metal of Fantomas, the Morricone-rock of Mondo Cane, or even providing the vampire howls for I Am Legend’s creatures of the night. But with a voice that can move from gorgeous to harrowing within a single note, Patton never completely divorces himself from pop music, even when he sneers at it — like an abusive relationship neither party can stand to leave. Early shows on the tour reportedly started with a cover of Peaches & Herb’s “Reunited,” which, like their version of “Easy” way back when, was surely utterly adoring and wholly contemptuous at the same time.
The mother of all baddies — the heavy-breathing Darth Vader himself — is getting a face-lift. One hundred of them, actually: Philadelphia-based Freeman’s Auctioneers & Appraisers asked scores of artists, like Marc Ecko, Secret Base and Jeff Soto, to revamp renditions of this iconic headgear, and the results are dizzying. Following stints in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, the decorated replicas — helmets adorned with everything from braces to a clown nose — have made their way to Philly to be auctioned off to the highest-bidding nerd. “Vader is kind of a universal figure, and to see this huge mass of them all together is so exciting,” says Freeman’s pop culture administrator Kati Gegenheimer. Prepare yourself to see the Dark Lord of the Sith in a whole new light: wearing a hood and shades, amped up via vibrant anime or decked out in a fruit-basket hat a la Carmen Miranda — er, Mirandarth.

✚ IN GRENADA / BUSSES Jesse Leyh’s musical roots lie less on some island in the south Caribbean Sea, and more in a northerly direction. The primary songwriter and studio rat behind Philly’s In Grenada makes shimmery, positively anthemic indie pop that could be easily mistaken for the latest from The Arcade Fire — or perhaps for both groups’ spiritual parentage, The E Street Band. For their new full-length, Break,Leyh expanded the lineup to a harmonica-toting seven-piece that shines on the full-blast crescendos (“Distance and Temptation”) but makes excellent use of space (“On the Line”). Also exciting is Busses, whose excellent self-titled debut, released this spring, mixes rock ’n’ roll guitar fuzz with unusual baroque structures. And then the horns come in. —John Vettese Fri., July 2, 8 p.m., $10, with New Motels, Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 215-739-9684, johnnybrendas.com.

Law enforcement officials estimate that a million pills of ecstasy were smuggled into the U.S. via Hassidic drug mules in the late ’90s. Some were aware of their situation, others chose to remain ignorant. Holy Rollers tells the mule story through the eyes of 20-year-old Sam (Jesse Eisenberg), who, when we first meet him, seems to have his life all carved out for him: He’s training to be a rabbi even though he’s not really feeling it, he works at his father’s Lower East Side fabric shop and his marriage is already arranged to a girl he has barely spoken to. To earn some extra cash, Sam gets mixed up with his neighbor, another Hassid named Yosef (Justin Bartha, playing it as cartoonishly as possible), who introduces him to the mule trade by initially telling him he’s transporting medicine. “Relax, mind your business and act Jewish,” Yosef tells Sam on his first run. Soon, Sam is helping to broker drug deals (just seeing Q-Tip call Sam’s boss a mishpocha may be worth the run time), recruiting new members to the fold and kissing lapsed Jew Rachel (Ari Graynor), even though he was forbidden to touch women scant weeks earlier. Make Sam Italian and Holy Rollers is a Goodfellas knockoff; Cuban and it’s a Scarface variation. The only problem is this film isn’t exciting enough to rest on its thriller laurels, nor is Sam’s rise and fall enough to justify it as some morality play. Just like Sam, Holy Rollers is lost in the middle. —Molly Eichel (Ritz at the Bourse)
THE KILLER INSIDE ME|BBeginning with a confrontational Sundance Q&A, Mi-
chael Winterbottom’s adaptation of Jim Thompson’s gleefully sociopathic novel has sparked complaint wherever it goes. Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) is the outwardly genial sheriff of a small Texas town, but as the title forewarns, there’s a growing darkness behind his slow-spreading hick smile. It’s not clear — or rather, it’s not important — what sets off Lou’s rampage, but he starts spreading corpses in short order, deftly side-stepping his higher-ups’ attempts to catch him in the act. The trouble arises not from Lou’s ends, but his means. The men he kills are dispatched with moderate efficiency, but the women — well, there it gets personal. Rather than running Jessica Alba’s prostitute (with whom he’s been having an affair) out of town, he beats her to death and beyond, pounding her face until it caves in on itself. It’s an appalling act, and filmed as such, but Killer takes no pleasure in it, and nor does Lou. Even as his fists turn her into something resembling a side of beef, he issues a string of apologies, all the more unnerving for their apparent sincerity. What prompts cries of misogyny is not just Killer’s explicitness — although that certainly raises the stakes — but the suggestion that Lou’s lovers are somehow complicit, that they proclaim their love for him even as he ends their lives. And that’s where the movie’s failure to replicate the book’s complexities comes in. Thompson’s book is a first-person study of pathological personality, a warped view from inside the funhouse, but Affleck’s eerily affectless performance doesn’t get inside Lou Ford’s head. The movie’s narration mentions Lou’s devious habit of “needling” the unsuspecting by passive-aggressively talking in circles, but never bothers to demonstrate it. Showing the little ways Lou’s hatred expresses itself as well as the brutal ones would have given a sense of his thoroughly shattered mind, and restored some of the novel’s acid
As Karim (Jamel Debbouze) and Michel (Jean-Pierre Bacri) begin planning their documentary, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing in the rain, beneath the eave of Hotel Le Terminus. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a metaphor, and yes, their project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a portrait of feminist writer Agathe Villanova (writer-director Agnès Jaoui, also this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writer-director) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will depict broadly defined cultural tensions. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headed home in the south of France to tend to her dead motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate, mend fences with her sister Florence (Pascale Arbillot), and take something of a vacation with her boyfriend Antoine (FrĂŠdĂŠric Pierrot). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon clear that anyone remotely close to Agathe feels neglected, a condition only exacerbated as she contemplates running for office. Editor Karim has a particular bone to pick, as his mother Mimouna (Mimouna Hadji) is the sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; longtime family housekeeper: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrated that Agathe used to call him â&#x20AC;&#x153;boy,â&#x20AC;? and with his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued sense of loyalty to her. His questions are repeatedly contentious (as to her benefitting from â&#x20AC;&#x153;certain quotas in politics,â&#x20AC;? he wonders whether she might be taking

British director David Slade, responsible for edgy fare like Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night, relies on an athletic approach to framing action and a moody eye for setting to crank out the least sucky Twilight movie yet. Credit some of that to chronology: Unlike the 2008 original and last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Moon, both of which contained more empty lip-quivering and melodramatic sighing than one thousand telenovela funeral scenes, the third installment in this five-film series actually has some meat to it. For starters, perma-conflicted Bella (Kristen Stewart) has never been this tormented about her hot/heavy love triangle with glowering male-model vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) and shirt-hating wolfboy Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Edward wants to marry her, and she really wants to do it to Edward, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to until sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned into a vampire.

GO FOURTH The city that invented liberty knows how to celebrate it. By Katy Bergen
I
n 1776, a bunch of sweaty guys wearing wigs holed up in a crowded room to sign a paper that created a country. They didn’t choose Boston or New York as ground zero for liberty. Nope, they chose Philadelphia — and we’ve got a giant cracked bell to prove it. The birthplace of American independence isn’t limited to a night of fireworks and “America the Beautiful” — expect multi-day celebrations including Speedo parties, Guinness world record attempts and lots of ol’ fashioned fun. More on:
³ INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE:

LIFE, LIBERTY & YOU
Forget that Miss America Caressa Cameron is attending; this year will be record-breaking. Or at least Marine Colonel John Folsam of Nebraska hopes so. As judges look on, he’ll attempt to slap 6,000 hands in order to break the Guinness World Record for most high-fives at an event. Sun., July 4, 11 a.m., free, begins at 5th and Chestnut streets, 215-683-2200.
³ FIRST FRIDAY AT THE CHEMICAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION
³ RAINBOW MOUNTAIN RESORT: FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND Lucky gays: Avoid the tourists and head to the Poconos, where on the Fourth, Speedos are recommended attire. On the eve of the Big Day, head to the Black Bulb Party — neon body paint and bright clothes are a must. Drag diva Sherry Vine performs her comedy routine the next night. Can breeders come too? Black Bulb Party, Sat., July 3, 8 p.m., $5; Sherry Vine, Sun., July 4, 10:30 p.m., $5, Rainbow Mountain F O R M O R E J U LY Resort Nightclub, 210 Mt.

bit where he jammed a feather into his cap and called it macaroni for no good reason, can I just congratulate the Philadelphia Macaroni Co.? Yes, we have that. And the PMC is so big — it’s got pasta factories in Spokane, WA, and Grand Forks, ND, along with a local plant — that it’s taking over one of Campbell Soup’s operations in Ohio and will start making that plant’s goods. That’s why we’re the birthplace of America. We will take control of your pasta like we did Britain’s tea stash. ³ How Slick are you? The School o’ Rock grads are all over the place this week: Drummer Eric Slick joined Dr. Dog and will be on Craig Ferguson’s CBS show July 2, and gee-tar-slinging sister Julie Slick opens for Adrian Belew at WCL July 1 with songs from her new CD featuring Robert Fripp. That’s some prog-love, yo. ³ Teri’s in the Italian Market (they serve a mean duck) finally got its liquor license last weekend and started serving Pink Pussycats and Purple Pimp Shoes. Thus, I had one cottony candy Sunday. ³ You’re thrilled that whore-master Tiger Woods is doing the AT&T National Golf Tourney,and that McNabb,the Cos, Will Smith, Patti LaBelle (who killed it at the BET Awards on Sunday) and Stephanie Mills (huh?!) are supposed to hit Aronimink. I’m thrilled that Damon Feldman’s Celebrity Wrestling jawn’s taking advantage of the moment and seeking an opponent to fight Woods mistress Devon James for a July 30 bout in Atlantic City. Wanna do battle? Write opponent@celebritysportsentertainment. com or call 480-BOXING1. ³ Thom“Mrs. Slocum” Cardwell told me at last week’s fab Wilhelmena Model bash at Trust that he’s bringing the star (Wendie Malick) of a film he co-wrote, You Can’t Have It All, to his gaygaygaygay QFest premiere at Ritz East July 8. DO IT! ³ Honey’s Sit ’N Eat, NoLibs’ best spot for vegan breakfast meat, opens a second location at 21st and South late fall. Sooner, on South: Percy Street chef Erin O’Shea holds a pic-a-nic BBQ July 3-5 with guests doing “cowboy karaoke” for free desserts, smoked meats and spiked watermelons. ³ Schoolly D spent his b-day at NatMechanics enthusing about a label/ production deal with MilkBoy Communication (we’re waiting for their 11th and Chestnut café/live venue to open) and his new name brand (Int’l Supersport). ³When I hit Theater Exile’s benefit cabaret at Neighborhood House at Christ Church in the OC, I got a firsthand look at its $4mil-plus renovations that will be unveiled this month — a clean, cool performance space, music hall and community center. This is where poor immigrant fams lived when they arrived in America. Now look! Happy birthday. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

One of the brightest inventors of all time, who contributed to advances in electric energy such as the alternating current, is probably better known as the namesake of a bad hair-metal band than the genius he is. But Nikola Tesla’s name resonates at the Nikola Tesla Energy Independence Celebrations in Philly, set to kick off Fri., July 9 with a Tesla Birthday Bash (happy 154th!). Nikola Lonchar, president of the Tesla Science Foundation, wants to talk about why the man behind the Tesla coil has been ignored in American history and to celebrate his incredible discoveries. “We are always asking why more people don’t know about Tesla,” Lonchar says. “Last year, I remember someone with a Ph.D. in physics told us that he had just heard of Tesla.” Lonchar expects this Tesla celebration to be the largest scientific conference in the country with scientists and Tesla supporters from around the nation to discuss one important idea: energy independence. “There wouldn’t be so many wars if not for the dependence on oil,” Lonchar says confidently. “The scientists [of the nation] should be able to complete this project of freedom from oil.” Mark Passio, director of community outreach for the foundation, will present his own declaration of energy independence in the spirit of Tesla’s goals during the conference. The purpose of the events is to get folks in the national science community interested in collaboration toward making oil an obsolete energy source. Not to mention freeing energy from our abuse, says Lonchar. “Energy is God’s gift,” Lonchar says. “It does not belong to any of us.” Tesla Energy Independence Celebrations, Fri.-Sun., July 9-11, free-$110, various Philadelphia locations, 215-253-5610, teslasciencefoundation.org.

UNDER THE RO-ZU A tale of two chefs defines a Japanese BYOB. By Trey Popp

T
he last thing a food critic wants to write is an obituary, least of all for a restaurant that’s still taking reservations. But it’s hard to talk about Ro-Zu without mourning the departure of its debut chef, Todd Dae Kulper, who left the Bella Vista sushi spot abruptly in mid-May. Kulper’s tenure lasted less than three months, More on: culminating in an exit so swift there may still be cartoon-smoke clouds hanging over the intersection of Seventh and Bainbridge. But what months they were: Before owner Ralph Pecca was forced to temporarily close shop, citing an unspecified “emergency” on the answering machine, Ro-Zu was orchestrating the most unexpected and exciting raw-fish creations to grace Philadelphia since Morimoto opened almost 10 years ago. From the beginning, Pecca and Kulper put the emphasis on omakase menus. There were four levels: $35, $50, $65 and $80. When you called to inquire about what distinguished one price point from another, both men spoke from the same, rather amusing, script. “Thirty-five is for beginners,” I was told by each of them.
citypaper.net
“Fifty is a more elaborate $35.” Eighty, you will be unsurprised to learn, was a more elaborate $65. Yet how that could be the case will remain a painful mystery to me, for the $65 option I chose yielded one of the most memorable, adventurous and skillfully executed meals I’ve eaten in Philadelphia. It overcame one of the least inspiring settings. The kitchen here has no stove or hood, but Pecca, a longtime veteran of the country club business, hasn’t poured many saved dollars into the décor. Every table vase holds fake red roses, a flat-panel TV scrolls through a slideshow that looks like a freebie screensaver from the tourist board of Japan, and the wrap-around windows mean that everyone in the neighborhood can see that you’ve elected to dine amidst this dubious backdrop. When the outgoing Kulper was manning MORE FOOD AND the fish case, though, the last place you DRINK COVERAGE wanted to be was on the outside looking AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / in. He wrapped sweet kumamoto oysters M E A LT I C K E T. in little quilts of tuna, topped with tart ponzu. He dressed a salad of tomatoes and jalapeños with aji amarillo, a hard-to-find Peruvian chili paste that gave what might otherwise have been a throwaway garnish the complexity of a superior ceviche. A dual preparation of giant Pacific octopus was a study in textural contrasts. The tender tentacles, sliced like thin salami coins, were interleaved with flyweight cucumber rounds and punched up with a rustic green habanero salsa. The head meat, chewier and slippery, was flavored with truffle salt and olive oil, plus a refined compote of orange habanero that was >>> continued on page 36

lawyer just might have the next big health beverage on his hands. But Reuben Canada’s starting by spreading the gospel of Jin-Ja around Rittenhouse before he sets his sights on toppling the Odwalla Empire. Though Swarthmore grad Canada has plenty of groovy-dude proclivities — he’s practiced yoga and meditation for 12 years — Jin-Ja was the by-product of a not-overtly-healthful pursuit: the hunt for the ideal cocktail mixer. Canada, a serial kitchen experimenter, began with a ginger simple syrup that he added to vodka. “I like having a signature thing,” he says. Jin-Ja fits that mold. Thicker than your typical off-shelf energy booster, its color a hazy shade of straw, the drink combines water, liquefied ginger, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and a green tea blend to produce a drink that’s unabashedly original. It starts off with the flavor of tea, then kicks into spicy overdrive, with a second-act surge of cayenne and ginger notes cut by citrus. It’s peculiar and addictive, with a range of applications — in the a.m. to start the day (the health benefits of ginger and cayenne are widely touted), as a post-workout cool-down or as part of an adult beverage. At first Canada wanted Jin-Ja to stay a “neighborhood creation” — the initial marketing scheme called for him to host informal tasting parties, then sell the drink on the web. But plans veered in another direction this spring, when Jay Choi, owner of Food & Friends, happened upon Jin-Ja and encouraged Canada to sell it at his market. Canada quickly developed branding and packaging (a hippy glass vial that wouldn’t look out of place on the vanity of a high-priced Parisian call girl), and Jin-Ja had a retail presence. Now Canada says restaurants like Cichetteria 19, Snackbar and D’Angelo’s have plans to carry it, and he’s working on ramping up production — he’s ordered 30,000 new bottles, and hopes to have Jin-Ja in retail venues throughout Philly by late July. Jin-Ja has serious growth potential, but you have to wonder why a guy who’s already got a full-time career would attempt to crack such a combative industry. “You look on that beverage rack — why would you ever go into a field that saturated with competition?” he says of his plans. “Because you loved what you were doing and believed in it. That’s it — if you don’t, then go into real estate.” (drew.lazor@citypaper.net)
