o: Dan Onorato From: Your friends at A Million Stories Re: You’re losing. Stop it.

Two things caught our eye this past week, and both of them tell us that your ship is sinking, and fast — and that’s not including that recent Quinnipiac poll that had you down 15 points and your opponent, Tom Corbett, over 50 percent. Now, we’ve got no love for Corbett (see below). The man’s a schmuck running a campaign of far-right pabulum. What’s more, because Corbett’s decided to make himself the gas industry’s bitch, under his administration we’re not going to see benefit one from the raping of our state forests and the Marcellus Shale.

Back in May, this newspaper endorsed you in the Democratic primary, even though we like all three of your opponents, because we thought you had the best shot of winning.

You’re proving us wrong.

We understand that this won’t be easy — not just because this state habitually alternates control of the Governor’s Mansion between the two parties every eight years — as you’re a Democrat and this is a bad year to be a Democrat, and Gov. Ed Rendell’s poll numbers are in the crapper. Actually, given the incredible headwinds, maybe 15 down isn’t so bad, after all. But 15 down still gives us Gov. Tom Corbett, and that’s just not acceptable.

Which brings us to those two things. The first is that ridiculous

ad of yours that we keep seeing on our talking picture box, the one where you’re holding up a sign and telling people how to spell and pronounce your name. We get it: Name recognition is a big deal, and outside Pittsburgh, not many people know who you are. Two points here: One, while your last name does have an inordinate number of vowels, yours is not a write-in campaign. Spelling doesn’t matter. Two, and more importantly, late September isn’t the time to be teaching folks your name, it’s the time to be kicking Corbett in the teeth over his unabashed whoring for Big Gas and Grover Norquist. Especially when you’re down 15 points.

And that brings us to item two: What constitutes an “attack” for the Onorato campaign is a press release bragging about how much you hate taxes. We’ve covered this peculiar twitch of yours before, Dan [A Million Stories, Sept. 1, 2010], but you don’t seem to be getting it: Last week, your press team giddily dispatched a Pittsburgh PostGazette story highlighting the fact that you’ve proposed a “nofrills” spending plan for Allegheny County for 2011 that is $5.8 million less than this year’s budget.

Wonderful. You’re still gonna lose. See, all those people you’ve been sucking up to with your chest-beating about taxes and spending, and your lame allegations that Corbett raised some property tax a few decades ago — they’re not going to vote for you, anyway, no matter what. Sorry.

Hey Dan: You can’t outRepublican Tom Corbett.

Stop trying.

You can’t out-Republican Tom Corbett.

The point is, Dan, you’re going to need to give the rest of us a reason to care. That means, for starters, taking off the gloves, putting on your big-boy pants, and taking the fight to Corbett, rather than campaigning like someone who’s ashamed to be a Democrat. Call him out for his grandstanding on health care (once again, see below), his willingness to use his public office as a political machine and his unrepentant slavishness to his corporate masters. Make people hate him as much as they don’t know about you.

There’s still time to get this right. But you’d better act soon.

EVIL Ever since the 2004 presidential election, the phrase “flip-flop” has basically given us gas, along with nightmarish visions of elderly white people carrying around flip-flops at the Republican National Convention with gleeful, shit-eating grins, as if John Kerry was the first politician to ever change a position on anything. >>> continued on adjacent page

the naked city

<<< continued from previous page

So we don’t throw it around lightly.

But we have no choice this week but to call Tom Corbett just that — flip-flopper! — for his blatant 180 on health care reform.

If you peruse Corbett’s policy paper on health care in Pennsylvania, you might get the impression that he’s, well, sane: He touts the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, saying that it “offers great opportunity to extend coverage to thousands more people” throughout the Commonwealth, and vows that “should the [bill] survive the current legal challenge of Attorneys General from across the country … Corbett will focus on implementing the provisions granting greater access to coverage in a way that encourages the development of new products and brings new carriers into the marketplace.”

That is, of course, insanely hypocritical. After all, Corbett is one of those attorneys general. Back in March, when he was pandering to his fringe base ahead of the primary, he spent your tax dollars to file a lawsuit blocking the health care reform bill, saying in a press release that he was doing so for the Pennsylvanians whose “rights will be violated” and he “believes the courts will find the health care reform legislation unconstitutional” — thus giving Tea Partyers everywhere a boner. Indeed, a good part of his $7.6 million campaign war chest — that’s almost $4 million more than Onorato has in the bank — came from people smitten with his reactionary stance on health care.

And yet, in the same paper that he praises the new law that

E VA N M . L O P E Z

✚ A Million Stories

he supposedly thinks is an affront to everything American and wholesome, he still courts the far right by making it seem like this health care situation is really no big deal and the benevolent private sector has it all under control, so who needs this reform bullshit? To wit, he claims that “over 90 percent of all Pennsylvanians

had some form of health insurance” in 2008.

This is, if you parse the numbers, deceptive math, as it counts seniors covered by Medicare (an evil communist program) and anyone who had any insurance for any part of the year. A more realistic statistic: According to a report by Families USA, more than a quarter of Pennsylvanians less than 65 years old went without insurance for all or part of 2008.

All of this is pretty slimy. Which is why, on the 23-point How Evil is Tom Corbett? Barometer™, we bestow him with a 20.

Be careful, Tom: You’re almost in Frank Rizzo territory.

³ THIS AUTUMN TRULY starts — as all falls in

Philadelphia should forevermore — with a block party and parade on Walnut Street hosted by myman-pots-n-pans Jerry Blavat.The primary occasion is to welcome Jersey Boys to the Forrest for 11 weeks. (Look for homegirl Alayna Gallo, back from the show’s San Antonio run, at the parade as well as presenting at Oct. 4’s Barrymore Awards.) ³ More signs of seasons changing: UPenn buying the DuPont Philadelphia Works/Marshall Labs acreage off the Schuylkill. (Hope they let the geese roam free.) Chris’ Jazz Café getting a blue neon sign on the night of its 20th anniversary. Busybee relocating its home design shop from Kensington to South Street. ³ I’d like to throw a parade for my dear amigo Evan Gusz (ex-Ruffhouse label baby), who’ll marry dear Jaclyn Palagruto — with me as one of the groomsmen — this weekend. Blessings to the Gusz/Palagruto kids. ³ Some things start, some depart: Mike Stollenwerk’s buying a liquor license for Fathom in Fishtown while my fave old low-lit boîte for white wine and sour cream dishes, Warsaw Café, may say goodbye when the building is sold. ³ The legendary Monday open mic at Fergie’s lost its main men — host/drummer Pete Gaudioso and keyboardist Anam Owili-Eger — with a blowout gig Sept 27. “I started going in 2002, and can count on two hands the number of those I’ve missed since then,” says Owili-Eger.“We love Fergie but decided that it was time for us to step down.” ³ Choreographer/arts mensch DeVaughn Nelsonhad his greatest burlesque successes at 2010’s Fringe.

Makes perfect sense that he’s moving to Berlin. “I’ll miss Philly like nobody’s biz, but I’m going to go feel out their scene for a while,” says lovely DeVo. ³ Did you know that Philly soundscaper Bilwa and his dancing missus Emily Sweeney left town — for the whole world? They moved to Vermont and are now heading to Melbourne, Australia’s Fringe Fest.

Kids. ³ Philly’s mix-tape-making major-label signers Chiddy Bang can be found on Pete Wentz’s new band Black Cards’ debut single “Club Called Heaven” at blackcardsmusic.com. ³ Poet/accidental lyricist CAConrad (Scotty Leitch made punk rock of The Book of Frank at wobblingroof.com) debuts the mega-expanded edition ofFrank (WAVE Books) on Oct. 2 at a Kelly Writers House reading. ³ If watching Iron Chef Michael Symon filming Food Network’s Food Feuds between Ralph’s and Villa di Roma (meatballs) and Pat’s and Geno’s (cheesesteaks) months back wasn’t enough, I spied MSN’s Appetite for Life guy Andrew Zimmern and a handful of Mummers on East Passyunk after having done his “curbside cuisine” thing at Paesano’s and John’s Roast Pork.³ Ice comes in cube form, too!

TWO BECOMES ONE: Blanka Zizka (left), now sole artistic director at the Wilma, tries her hand at Shakespeare for the first time with Macbeth (starring Jacqueline Antaramian and C.J. Wilson, right).

CHRISTOPHER GABELLO (R)

[ theater ]

OUT, DAMNED SPOT! Sans her longtime collaborator, Blanka Zizka takes on a new partner: Shakespeare.

By A.D. Amorosi

T

o say the Wilma Theater’s recent changes have the feel of a Shakespearean tragedy would be an exaggeration. Yet two recent shake-ups — one departure, one new addition — have reshaped one of Philly’s longest-standing theater companies. On the sunniest Saturday of September, director Blanka Zizka isn’t breaking a sweat over the simple facts.

“Not quite yet,” smiles the Wilma’s artistic director on a break from choreographing fight scenes from this season’s opener, Macbeth.

After 31 years of theater, the Wilma is launching its first-ever production of Shakespeare — any Shakespeare whatsoever — with a spare, ambitious, violent staging of one of the Bard’s final tragedies.

And after 31 years of theater, Blanka is going it alone; her coartistic director and ex-husband, Jiri Zizka, announced he was leaving for good after staging last spring’s Leaving. (Apt, no?)

First things first: The play’s the thing.

Like so many of the Wilma shows Blanka has directed (Animal Farm, Quills), Macbeth is epic and full of impact. But as for the reason she’s waited so long to take on the master of drama, it’s personal. “I’ve always been seduced by Shakespeare but was worried about the language, what with being a foreigner,” laughs the Czech immigrant. “I still haven’t gotten it all, so the idea of going

into the Old English was daunting.” Yet after a private reading of the play, she not only considered Macbeth and saw its staging light up in her mind, but she’s already considering her next Shakespearean steps once the 2010-11 season comes to an end.

“Much of what’s happening next here is trying to figure out what we’ll become,” says Blanka. “I’ve no precise answer yet as to what the next years will look like. Will we stay a subscription series with four plays a year? Can we squeeze in riskier, out-of-the-box productions for two-week runs? What other directors will we bring in?” she asks, rhetorically, mentioning that she’s considering Pig Iron’s Geoff Sobelle and one-time Wilma compatriot Annie Kauffman as potential future collaborators. “I can’t direct four shows a season. I would die.”

Surely new managing director James Haskins will have strong opinions on these matters. But for the most part, the Wilma’s vision is down to Blanka, as her partner, Jiri — once in marriage, almost always in aesthetics — has left her as sole artistic director. According to Blanka, Jiri felt the weight of doing so much for the Wilma (“two plays for Blanka, two plays for Jiri,” she laughs about the company’s usual season) that it left little time to tend to his other work. “Jiri’s a brilliant writer,” says Blanka. “He’s produced and directed films. He wanted to do those things.”

When I spoke to Jiri Zizka about Leaving back in May, he kept snickering as he said, “Everybody leaves, you know.”

“He has a strange sense of humor, Jiri does,” says Blanka regarding

“Everybody leaves, you know.”

THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Revenge of the Nerds, writ large.

WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND? Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, is a vicious blend of outsize ego and bitter self-loathing.

³ ARRIGO BOITO — LIBRETTIST for Giuseppe Verdi’s penultimate opera, Otello — was himself a fine opera composer. Verdi needed someone with the experience and ability to condense the many words of Shakespeare in a musical and theatrically effective way. Whole chunks of the play had to be excised while sparing the plot and themes. But Verdi went even further. When he saw Boito’s setting of the introduction of the title character, he crossed off the many lines and substituted a single word; Esultate!” Italian for “rejoice.” It was a stroke of genius. The whole opera is a stringing together of strokes of genius.

Therein lies the greatness of Otello. The synergy of Shakespeare and Verdi results in a unique work of theater. This was not Verdi’s first take on Shakespeare (nor his last; Falstaff was still to come, six years later, when the composer was nearly 80).

Macbeth was one of his earliest masterpieces. But in Otello there is extraordinary characterization, shaped by subtle harmonic and rhythmic gestures, that makes the drama hold together in a way that honors the original play but creates an entirely new work of art. Shakespeare’s love scene is elegant and tender; Verdi’s is, as well, but also erotic. In the play, Othello and Iago banter as if playing a game of chess. In the opera, they plan for mortal combat in a minefield, explosions all around.

That grandiloquent opening Esultate, at once bursting with the pride of military victory but also already foreshadowing tragedy, is a treacherous bit of singing. There is no warm-up; the tenor must open at full volume and leap back and forth across wide pitch intervals. It is a role that tenors either avoid or take long breaks from, with the notable exception of the miraculously leather-lunged Placido Domingo. This is a major reason why Otello, which many opera lovers consider to be Verdi’s masterpiece, is performed much less frequently than La Traviata or Rigoletto, two wonderful works that are, nevertheless, a notch or two below the level of inventiveness and sheer power in Otello.

Otello comes to Philadelphia this week for the first time in memory, via a new OCP production, with the superb Nashville-born tenor Clifton Forbis in the title role. Experience it.

the banal, flooding our brains with alluring minutiae — Facebook has come to define our current hyper-self-aware historical moment while distilling it through a hall of digital meta-mirrors. Hard to believe, then, that seven years ago the now-ubiquitous site was little more than a gleam in a few social misfits’ eyes. The Social Network watches the growth of Facebook from the inside, but ends up being less about one specific phenomenon than the minor tremors that ripple outward into world-altering quakes. It must have been a major temptation to gimmick up this story with Facebook-derived graphics and references, especially for the director of Fight Club, but thankfully David Fincher resisted. Like he did in Zodiac (skipping over the gooey misstep of Benjamin Button), Fincher elegantly integrates style with substance, resulting in a streamlined narrative that is all frictionless momentum. In this, he takes his cues from Aaron Sorkin’s whip-smart script, which envisions the conversations of outcast hackers as the brisk wordplay of the screwball comedy. Mark Zuckerberg and company aren’t exactly the blithe spirits of those earlier films, however, and their rapid-fire dialogue comes to feel less like witty repartee and more the caustic brevity of overstimulated minds. Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg with a vicious blend of outsize ego and bitter self-loathing) envisions Facebook as replicating “the entire social experience of college” online, and The Social Network, framed by not one but two legal depositions, posits that the Digital Age has become Revenge of the Nerds, writ large.

Zuckerberg’s chief nemeses are the Winkelvoss twins (Armie Hammer), tall, athletic, blond “gentlemen of Harvard” with flagpole postures — jocks caught short by the limits of their privilege. The reach of the allegedly egalitarian Internet has simply upended the social order, as easily as ignoring a friend request. —Shaun Brady

Verdi’s love scene is elegant, tender and erotic.

Awaking inside a wooden box under several feet of Iraqi sand, Ryan Reynolds’ government contractor is stuck in a dead-end situation he doesn’t understand and can’t get out of — a tidy metaphor for U.S. involvement in the region, if one that would be easy to overplay. Fortunately, Rodrigo Cortés’ claustrophobic thriller sticks to its imminent circumstances and lets its broader implications play out sub rosa. In other words, Reynolds never leaves the box, and neither do we. Working from Chris Sparling’s script, the movie employs the tools at hand, mainly a cell phone and a lighter, to explore Reynolds’ increasingly dire situation. The men who put him there get in touch, and he manages to reach both his employer and the military, but digging him out is no one’s top priority; he’s collateral damage, even though he’s still alive.

Without deviating from his lockeddoor premise, Cortés finds ways to vary his visual approach so the movie doesn’t become suffocating itself. (There are a few cheats, but

Buried is tad too gimmicky to take entirely straight, loaded up with red herrings that leave you both anticipating and dreading some half-clever twist, but it plays fair, and nasty, in the end. —Sam Adams (Rave)

ENTER THE VOID|B+ The brutal, brutalizing cinema of Gaspar Noé would seem to have deadended with Irreversible, a movie that centered around a rape conducted in excruciating real time. But Noé pushes the needles further into the red with Enter the Void, a postmortem hallucination whose pulsating cascade

is likely to induce seizures even in the non-epileptic. (The U.S. version has been cut by a full reel, but that’s not likely to mitigate the sensory overload much.) Shot almost entirely from the P.O.V. of a callow American killed in a drug bust, the film floats through the neon miasma of Tokyo like a woozy ghost, seeking out the seedy milieux Noé loves so much. In-camera and out, Noé manipulates the images heavily, juicing colors and blurring backgrounds into a feverish smear, as if he’s testing his own endurance as well as his audience’s. He’s shameless with his Freudian fillips, shoving the camera into surrogates’ birth canals at

FREAKONOMICS|ABased on the book by “rogue economist” Steven Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner, this four-part documentary makes the case that answers to social and moral dilemmas might be discovered by looking at the world just a bit askew, “asking a different kind of question entirely.”

Each section offers a variation on this idea. Morgan Spurlock’s “A Roshanda

by Any Other Name” pretty much repeats the book’s point, that baby names don’t affect children’s lives,

but their environments do. Folks-onthe-street interviews weigh in on how names resonate (“Todd” sounds white and “Tyrone” sounds black), but don’t offer much insight into their own experiences with names. Alex Gibney’s “Pure Corruption” is less a transcription of the book than a frankly remarkable set of images and ideas inspired by it. He draws parallels between Japanese sumo wrestling and the U.S. economic crisis, as each realm is beset by cheating that’s condoned in order to maintain a functioning (if dysfunctional) surface. “Cultural slogans,” he narrates, “reassure us that we are honest, straightforward and fundamentally good. Those who expose corruption are challenging the very nature of who we imagine ourselves to be.” Eugene Jarecki’s section takes on the book’s theory that there’s a correlation between legal abortion and reduced crime rates. “It’s Not

Always a Wonderful Life” uses animation, clips from Frank Capra’s movie, and photos of the executed Nicolae Ceausescu (who outlawed abortion in Romania) to make this controversial argument accessible (and no, Levitt insists, he is not advocating abortion as a way to curb crime). Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s section is not drawn directly from the book, but is instead a fascinating study of how monetary incentives affect two ninth-graders in Chicago. As each plainly performs for the camera crew, both remind you that “incentives,” this section’s topic, can come in many forms and have unanticipated effects.

The film reflects the book’s structure and makes its arguments visually, often vividly. In itself, it asks a different sort of question, regarding what documentaries can do. —Cindy Fuchs (Ritz at the Bourse)

JACK GOES BOATING|B Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut looks like a study in the comings and goings of relationships: the tentative goodnight kiss covered in Manhattan snow, the silence between broken lovers. But the most poignant scenes lie in the personal moments, the wordless shots of Hoffman’s Jack practicing his swimming strokes on an overpass or contemplating a firstdate outfit while the music of Grizzly Bear swells in the background. We first meet Jack in his bed, on his back, alone. He’s a limousine driver whose dream is to work for the MTA. He spends most of his time with Clyde (John Ortiz) and his wife, Lucy (Daphne Rubin-Vega). They decide to set Jack up with one of Lucy’s colleagues, Connie (Amy Ryan). They’re both a little awkward and a little anxious but most importantly, Lucy points out, they’re both alone. Meeting Connie sends Jack into a trajectory of self-improvement: He learns to swim and cook, all to win over Connie.

He finally applies for that MTA job.

It almost feels like a coming-of-age story, though one that’s much overdue. Jack and Connie’s blossoming relationship juxtaposes Clyde and Lucy’s shattered one, which becomes increasingly difficult to watch as the movie goes on, perhaps because you want to believe that Jack and Connie won’t suffer the same fate.

While relationships drive the movie’s actions, it’s the sweeping, wide shots of Jack in New York City that deliver the most feeling. It’s almost as if we’ll miss that Jack once he falls in love.

Charming in the best possible way, Paul Fierlinger and Sandra Fierlinger’s animated feature follows the deeply felt relationship with a man and his dog. Based on J.R. Ackerley’s 1956 memoir, the film includes his wry observations (voice of Christopher Plummer), delighted and bemused

by Tulip, his devoted “Alsatian bitch.”

She’s a “beautiful creature,” he rhapsodizes, “who came into my life and transformed it.” At times Ackerley lives his life as fiction film, ignorant of the camera as he hides out from his importunate sister (Lynn Redgrave) or takes the rambunctious Tulip to several vets in search of vaccinations (the one who finally sees her for who she is, a dog in love with her man, is impeccably voiced by Isabella Rossellini). At other moments he looks at you while reading from pages he’s typed, the story unfolding and created simultaneously. At still other times, the screen becomes the yellow legal pad on which he sketches his fantasies: Tulip in a dress, flirting outrageously with the assorted gentlemen dogs Ackerley tries out as potential mates (so she might have a “full life,” he says, sex and a maternal experience), or the relationship he imagines for a salty fellow dog-owner and his wife. The movie isn’t raunchy, really, but frank

There has been a flood of issue-oriented, agitprop docs of late, each offering up its own world-threatening man-made catastrophe. But whether you expect the world to end via global warming, irradiated food, nuclear terrorism or Republican presidencies, none of those apocalyptic scenarios have been as chilling as the repellant spectacle of schools holding lotteries to decide the educational opportunities

LET ME IN|B Cloverfield director Matt Reeves’ English-language remake of Tomas Alfredson’s Let the Right One In is utterly superfluous but basically harmless. The Road’s Kodi SmitMcPhee and Kick-Ass’ Chloë Moretz fill the roles of a shy young boy and his mysterious new neighbor, an eerily calm girl who stands barefoot in the winter snow and never seems to feel the cold. They’re both lonely souls, although she’s been at it a lot longer, but as it turns out, the sorrow of a child of divorce is not so different from the ageless angst of a preteen vampire. It’s just that instead of peering forlornly at his neighbors through a telescope, she sends a grizzled helper (Richard Jenkins) to procure fresh blood, gutting victims and draining their vital fluids into spattered gasoline cans. For the most part, Reeves maintains the original’s elegiac tone, adding a wellconceived car crash filmed in a single dizzying shot but somehow botching his re-enactment of the bloody conclusion (one place where a shot-forshot approach would have actually benefitted him). Moretz’s performance is more melancholy, verging on sentimental, and a change in setting (to Los Alamos, 1983) adds a hint of social context, but the do-over is largely a wash. It neither adds nor subtracts.

with the tenacity of a mother grizzly, whether or not they’re actually doing those jobs. Guggenheim not only lodges complaints about the status quo, but actually offers a number of solutions in the form of educators offering creative solutions, particularly the blunt-speaking D.C. schools chancellor Michelle Rhee and the charismatic Geoffrey Canada, who provides the film its awkward title. But if the more politically strident viewer could argue against the onslaught of statistics, talking heads and animated vignettes, Guggenheim has a secret weapon in five students, mostly from underserved neighborhoods, and their families. The image an audience is left with is of intelligent kids and caring but struggling parents, left utterly abandoned to uncertain futures. —Shaun Brady (Ritz East)

✚ DÜOFEST The high-wire analogy in improv comedy is so overused, it’s become meaningless. But it’s also not necessarily apt. In large improv groups, there’s safety in numbers; have an off night and your partners can carry the weight. Not so with duos, the focus of Philly Improv Theater’s (PHIT) four-night Düofest. “When there are just two people on stage,” says PHIT’s Greg Maughan, one of the festival’s six producers, “there’s no backup. It’s all them, no net. Nobody can have a bad night.” Düofest was inspired by Scott Adsit and Philly girl Christina Gausas’ May PHIT improv gig and will feature local (Till Death Do Us Part, Hans Gruber), national (IMP, Landry and Summers) and international (Calgary’s Rock Awesome) duos, 38 in all, including local Matt Holmes’ double-death-defying M@& (Friday, 10:02 p.m.), which

This Brooklyn duo is not your average Brooklyn duo. Arone Dyer, the lady, plays a modified baritone ukulele. Aron Sanchez, the guy, plays a customized guitar-bass hybrid while stomping a bass drum. Both sing. Their stuff is raw and clangy, and for every descent into dissonant annoyingness there’s a moment of unexpected, asymmetrical beauty.

✚ MARGOT & THE NUCLEAR SO AND SO’S After the confounding, complicated marketing of 2008’s Animal! / Not Animal — it wasn’t a double album, it was two versions of the same album, duh — Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s paused to take stock of their unsuccess. Some lineup shifts and a new label later, and the Indianapolis collective returned to Earth, relatively speaking. Their new Buzzard (Mariel) is more focused and upfront with the uppity rock.

This could poise them for either warm reception or backlash.

But the free-associative oddities of songwriter Richard Edwards remain intact, if downplayed; amid the more conventional roots-rock structures, there are lyrics aplenty about stealing eyeballs, grave robbers and vampire robots.

Irreverence has always been key to both men’s crossdisciplinary art, and should be well evidenced when the “Two Torontonians” take the stage together for “Many Moving and Still Works.” Snow’s most famous work, the 1967 structuralist landmark Wavelength, is renowned for its formal rigor and discipline, but the 80year-old filmmaker confronts the reduced attention spans of his modern audience with WVLNT: Wavelength for Those Who Don’t Have the Time, a 15-minute distillation of the original. A generation younger, Oswald also plumbs the history of experimental film for his piece The World’s Smallest I-MAX Showing, a pilfering of Stan Brakhage material in the spirit of his groundbreaking, copyright-defying Plunderphonics recordings, the foundation of every pop song mash-up you’ve ever forwarded from —Shaun Brady YouTube.

William Gambini to the space this October. But the paintings, which Olsovsky describes as “edgy acid color nudes,” are only a jumping-off point. Channeling the spirit of NYC’s 10th Street galleries of the ’50s, where artists like Gambini and Willem de Kooning repurposed warehouses as studio spaces (studio: christensen used to be a dingy Video City) and turned them into artistic meccas, Olsovksy wants the exhibit to exude that old-school lifestyle. He hopes to work with restaurants in the area (Noble is catering the release party) to hold collaborative late-night happy hours and cocktail parties, and maybe invite some vintage boutiques to showcase collections in the space. Forget the stuffy Rittenhouse you thought you knew; Olsovsky wants to reinvent it.

Transforming business – it’s how companies stay alive and industries grow.

Forward-thinking organizations are making a genuine commitment to design. By integrating designers and design processes into their business and technology models, industry can explore entirely new strategies and methods. They can put their best efforts not into what is, but rather into what will be.

³ IT COULD BE the cheerful orange pillows strung

along the banquette. Or maybe it’s the backyard, appointed with terra-cotta pottery and teak folding tables. Perhaps it’s the staff — they’re abnormally upbeat, considering they share 20 square feet behind the counter. What makes Rybread the city’s cutest little sandwich shop? I still can’t put a finger on it.

I suspect it’s got something to do with the owners, Ryan Pollock, a former architect, and his dad, Dennis. Mom Roseanne works weekends; when I ordered the chicken salad from her one recent Sunday, maybe she smiled a little wider because it’s her grape-and-walnut-studded recipe between slices of nutty Le Bus multigrain. Pollock’s girlfriend, Stephanie Mertz, chips in, and those are her photos lining the walls, snapshots from the road trip she and Pollock took in 2008 — one that inspired the 17 traditional and panini-pressed sandwiches Rybread currently serves.

That excellent chicken salad is called Denver, furnished with just enough mayo to bind the whitemeat cubes, nuts and fruit. Santa Monica, on sourdough, brought an avocado-enhanced BLT with crisp bacon from Souderton smoker Leidy’s. Eat in or take away, the sandwiches get wrapped in waxy, white cake paper, or foil for panini like Omaha, layered with whispers of Boar’s Head roast beef (more deli than delicious) with uncharacteristically shy Gorgonzola and caramelized onions.

Remember, Rybread isn’t necessarily going for next-level sandwich craft on par with Paesano’s.

Still, improvements, like salt-and-peppering the insides of the sandwiches, aren’t beyond the modest cafe’s limits. I’d ditch the Denver’s damp heap of spring mix for snappy arugula, and while iceberg added crunch to the Santa Monica, butter or bibb would also add flavor. The soups, currently outsourced, include a turkey chili with a molelike spiciness, but also an oddly grainy texture.

Rybread is best at breakfast, when the Chestnut Hill coffee is iced and the Le Bus bagels are warm.

In my OBX sandwich, fluffy, cooked-to-order eggs joined cheese and sausage on a chewy multigrain bagel, a fine start to the day with a cinnamonscented scone and airy banana-chocolate chip muffin, both baked in-house by Papa Pollock. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

BOTTLE SERVICE: Jason Wilson, spirits columnist for The Washington Post, travels the world searching for liquored-up answers in his new book, Boozehound.

TEN SPEED PRESS

[ that’s the spirit ]

TIPPLE PLAY A high-proof discussion with Boozehound author Jason Wilson. By Drew Lazor

Y

es, Jason Wilson pokes fun at so-called “lifestyle journalism” in the introduction to Boozehound (Ten Speed Press, Sept. 21), his new combo travelogue/industry commentary/drink recipe collection addressing all that matters in the world of fine spirits.

But while he humbly ridicules his own profession, claiming that his blue-collar ancestors are pulling sub-terra 720s in response his to job as a cocktail columnist, let’s be clear here: the Washington Post spirits conMore on: tributor and Drexel professor gets paid to drink amazing liquor, and we should hate him accordingly. We were somehow able to shelve our petty jealousies long enough to ask the Haddonfield resident (yes, the booze writer lives in a dry town) a round of stiff questions.

citypaper.net

City Paper: Let’s start with the dreaded V-word: vodka. The masses love it, but most cocktail geeks loathe it. There’s a great passage in Boozehound about two martini-ordering meatheads getting rebuffed at Philly’s Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co., which doesn’t carry vodka. Do you think the two sides of the debate will ever establish some common ground?

Jason Wilson: Even though I rant about it a lot in my book, I want to be clear: I don’t hate vodka. There’s enough hate in the

world already. Drink whatever you want. I mean, it’s a free country and vodka is the most popular spirit in the U.S. It’s not like my humble book is going to counteract the more than 500 vodkas currently on the market. However, I think things are slowly trending away from vodka. I wrote a column a couple weeks ago that jokingly asked whether tequila was the new vodka. Look around: Don’t you see more people ordering Patrón than Grey Goose these days?

CP: You write that spirits can be just as revelatory as literature, art or music, but I bet Volstead Act-clinging teetotalers would argue that those pursuits enrich one’s knowledge, while boozing does not. Defend your drinking!

JW: I guess one of the teetotaling arguMORE FOOD AND ments against spirits as a plank of the DRINK COVERAGE humanities would be that spirits are danAT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / gerous? Well, didn’t Picasso say that art M E A LT I C K E T. was dangerous, too? Why, yes, he did. In fact, he said, “It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared.” I’ll let Picasso’s quote stand for booze as well as art.

CP: You’ve traveled to multiple countries to witness production processes firsthand. Which trip most influenced your understanding, for better or for worse, of a spirit?

JW: I’d say my visit to Jalisco, Mexico. Early on, I visited a bunch of agave farmers and tequila distilleries and I was really struck by how many factors come into play when making spirits. … I could see how small differences in production resulted in totally different tequilas. >>> continued on page 48
