J
ohn Hanger, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, has not exactly been the
darling of the burgeoning grass-roots resistance to gas drilling in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale. Among the things not helping his cred with activists: his presiding over the establishment in just two years of thousands of new wells statewide, his personal belief (if you ask him) that Marcellus Shale gas is a crucial part of America’s energy future, and his less-than-glamorous cameo in the documentary Gasland (in which, when presented with a jug of water contaminated from drilling in Dimock, Pa., he abruptly walked off-camera). Still, even his fiercest critics might want to reconsider the guy. Over the last year, Hanger has ushered through a series of new regulations aimed at curtailing possible impacts of drilling. He’s beefed up the number of inspectors who oversee drilling. He’s demanded that Cabot Oil & Gas, which he says is responsible for Dimock’s contaminated water, pay to pipe in clean water. Now, in the wake of Gov.-elect Tom Corbett’s victory, he’s come out swinging. Last week, Hanger publicly challenged Corbett, whose campaign received more than $1 million in funding from the gas industry, to promise that the DEP would remain an independent watchdog under his leadership. Corbett had previously declared that he would “direct the [DEP] to serve as a partner” with the industry. Corbett
responded by calling Hanger “a sore loser.” A call to Hanger’s office on Friday was returned (almost instantaneously) by the secretary himself, more than ready to share his latest concerns over the incoming governor. “Hopefully, the governor would come forward and say, ‘Of course DEP will be an independent watchdog,’” he told CP. “But he still hasn’t done that.” What’s more, Hanger says he’s disturbed by the governor-elect’s declaration, within hours of an executive order by Rendell banning further leasing of state forest for drilling, that he would reverse it. “He never bothered to look at the professional data, never bothered to consult [state forest tsar] Secretary [John] Quigley … He just said, ‘I’m gonna reverse it, regardless of what the scientific data shows.’” And then there’s Corbett’s stark opposition to taxing the industry: “He will be the only governor in the United States to oppose a drilling tax — Gov. Palin didn’t ... in fact she raised it; [Texas] Gov. Perry doesn’t oppose a tax; [Louisiana] Gov. Jindal doesn’t oppose a tax. … [Corbett] stands alone.” Hanger, almost certainly on his way out, isn’t pulling punches. Indeed, not 10 minutes after getting off the phone, Hanger called back. “A majority of House Republicans voted for a moratorium on further leasing of state forests,” he told CP’s answering machine. “That’s another indication of how frankly extreme the governorelect’s position is.”
It all began with a number: four. In the wake of a disconcerting pistolwhipping and robbery outside of SugarHouse Casino — following close on the heels of an incident in which a casino patron was followed home and also pistol-whipped — the Inquirer took a hard look at security in and around the facility, in an article titled “Robbery in SugarHouse Lot Defeated Tight Security.” As the headline might suggest, the Inquirer found the casino to have substantial security: “SugarHouse Casino might be one of the most thoroughly policed areas in the city,” the daily wrote, noting that more than 500 cameras keep an eye on the casino, as well as many security officers, local police, state troopers and gaming officials. And then there was that number: since opening on Sept. 23, wrote the Inky, there have been four reported crimes at the facility: not, one might argue, so bad. But CP found otherwise. According to data provided by the Police Department, police have recorded 22 crimes — not four — at SugarHouse from opening day to Nov.

14. That includes three reports of theft from cars, two reports of theft that occurred elsewhere, one report of fraudulent conversion, three reports of private-property vandalism, two DUIs, four reports of disorderly conduct and six reports of trespassing. The Inquirer, to CP’s knowledge, has not explained or clarified how it came to its (significantly) lower number. But in the meantime, CP has come across an even larger figure: New Police Department statistics obtained by CP show that cops have been called to SugarHouse a total of 203 times since Sept. 23 — sometimes, no doubt, to no purpose, but … that’s a lot of man-hours, no? Is the casino itself, as some economists and casino opponents argue, attracting more crime? The data is just starting to come in — except when it isn’t. —Holly Otterbein
STENCHY TRENCH The smell at 924 Cherry St. began the Wednesday before last, and in the ensuing days, it got worse. Jazmin Idakaar, a research associate at Design Science — a consulting firm on the building’s fifth floor — described the odor the following Monday as being “like a really horrific chemical.” Others compared the scent to rubber cement, paint thinner and Magic Marker. It was most pungent, mysteriously, in the elevator shaft, which research associate Joshua Evans described as being like “a trap.” Some employees left the office to work at home. Those who stayed
bundled up and opened every window possible. Meanwhile, they took action, repeatedly calling the city’s Water Department (PWD), which, just days before the stench appeared, had posted a notice on the building’s door alerting occupants that a “trenchless method of sewer rehabilitation” was under way and that they could expect “a glue-like odor.” According to PWD, similar work is being done on three other nearby streets through February. A quick Internet search by CP revealed an occurrence in Alexandria, Va., where, as The Washington Post reported in 2004, an apparently similar (and, the article notes, less-expensive) method of sewer repair might have resulted in an onslaught of complaints by nearby residents of “toxic fumes” that left some sick. The culprit? Styrene vapor, a common byproduct of “trenchless” sewer work. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), being exposed to enough styrene vapor can cause nausea, dizziness, fatigue and eye irritation, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) warns that exposure above certain limits would violate its safety guidelines. So how much styrene were the workers of Design Science breathing? No one seems to know — not even PWD. “As far as I know, we’re not using dangerous levels of styrene,” said PWD spokesman John DiGiulio, adding that PWD has received complaints only from Design Science employees. Had PWD actually tested the Cherry Street building? “We cannot confirm whether or not the building was tested,” answered Laura Copeland, another PWD spokesperson the next day, adding, somewhat cryptically, “There is no reason for concern.” —Juliana Reyes

icepack By A.D. Amorosi
³ WITH THANKSGIVING, THE season for old
friends — to say nothing of hard sour drinking, the bittersweet use of coke for the first time in a year, and deep regret — begins. Embrace it. That’s what Icepack will do in the coming weeks. First ol’ pal on our list: Philly pop genius Bill Ricchini.That’s right — genius. Sleigh bell-ringing efforts (2002’s Ordinary Time, 2005’s Tonight I Burn Brightly) are uniquely ripe with Phil Spector and Brian Wilson touches, immensely passionate in their smartly literate lyricism, and feature pretty goils on their sleeve. Where’d Bill go after ’05? “I tried to live the straight life but it didn’t take,” says Ricchini. “I spent my Saturdays at Home Depot and bought a Crock-Pot. But I had more songs in me.” Yay. Those are the Baroque chamber torch tunes of his band, Summer Fiction,and its eponymous album that’ll drop the day he plays Johnny Brenda’s, Dec. 1. “Summer Fiction follows the story of a young girl coming of age told from the point of view of the heartbroken guys who fall for her. There’s no better subject for a pop song than a pretty girl. Even better, a pretty girl who makes graves.” Plus, it’s as good as his previous CDs. Good to have you back, ol’ buddy. (For more on the show, see Agenda, starting on p. 27.) ³ After hearing rumors about the sale of his swanky space, Walnut Street’s Rum Bar, lessee Adam Kanter says he spoke with landlord Michael Singer and no one’s going anywhere. “We’re here to stay for some time,” says Kanter. Yellow Birds for my friends. ³ I laughed and cried when I saw Jersey Boys, yup. Now it’s your time to sob (and spend) when you hear “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” when Four Seasons Hotel, the Jersey Boys cast and Lisa Gaudio, daughter of Four Seasons non-hotel songwriter/member Bob Gaudio, unite for a concert/auction to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Nov. 29. A live auction of Frankie Valli and co. memorabilia is hosted by Jerry Blavat.Go already. ³ Live Arts/Fringe Fest 2011 good news/bad news: Good? LAFF co-commissioned (with Phila Theater Initiative) a new work from the U.K.’s Improbable Theatre with The Devil and Mister Punch. Sad stuff? Fringe booker John Emory (of Badmaster Records fame) left his post for “bigger things,” according to Fest honchos. ³ Bring on Parc bartender George Reilly’s Twisted Tail, a blues/bourbon saloon intended to hit ye olde Kildare’s space on Second off South, mid-2011. ³ The Kimmel plays host to DJ Rahsaan Nov. 26 at 5:30 p.m. for its Fania Records party, a big deal as the long-independent Latin label (home of Celia Cruz,Hector Lavoe,Willia Colon) is back in action, remastering its catalog ’n’ all. ³ More Ice, in cube form at citypaper.net/criticalmass.

[ holiday theater ]
PLAYBILLS RING, ARE YOU LISTENING? A winter wonderland of theater, from Dickens to Sedaris and beyond. By Mark Cofta
H
oliday theater may start inevitably with A Christmas Carol, but it certainly doesn’t have to end there. If Scrooge is what you’re after, the Charles Dickens classic plays in various forms all over the area, most notably in family-friendly adaptations at the Walnut Street and Hedgerow theatres, but also as a musical, Scrooged, at New Jersey’s Ritz Theatre. My favorite — especially for adults — is Jared Reed’s one-man interpretation, ironically re-titled (given that it’s the most faithful to Dickens) A Dickens Christmas, also playing at Hedgerow. Beyond Dickens, December theater falls into two broad categories: shows that celebrate or satirize Christmas, and those that barely reference it at all. Foremost among the former must be the Walnut Street’s mainstage production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. The title song alone sells the show, but those who recall the 1954 Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye film (if not, catch its 97,000 cable broadcasts this season) know it’s not only a cute love story, but a tearjerker about friendship and loyalty. While the world waits for a new take on Christmas that works as well as It’s a Wonderful Life (strangely absent from stages this
season), lots of shows provide holiday humor. Flashpoint Theatre Co. brings back David Sedaris’ The Santaland Diaries, starring Derick Loafmann as Crumpet, a cranky Macy’s elf. Theatre Horizon and Fringe Festival maniacs The Berserker Residents première a family-friendly creation, The Very Merry Xmas Carol Holiday Adventure Show, about a trio of would-be heroes (snowman, rednosed reindeer and London-town gent) battling the villainous Xmas, who threatens to devour all Christmas tales and the very spirit of the holiday itself. Frankford’s Walking Fish Theatre also features a new work, A Fractured Christmas Carol, created collaboratively by professional actors and young performers. The show is directed by Michelle Pauls, who helmed the Fish’s Barrymore Awardwinning educational production, Of Mythic Proportions. Foremost among the shows not referencing yuletide glee is People’s Light & Theatre Co.’s seventh annual panto, The Three Musketeers (The Later Years), written by Kathryn Petersen, directed by Peter Pryor, with music and lyrics by Michael Ogborn. PLTC’s unique form of the traditional British panto features songs, silliness, lots of audience participation and a great cast — Pryor as the villain, Mark Lazar as Queen Agnes of Malvaria and Barrymore Award-winner Kim Carson. The Arden Theatre Co.’s annual children’s play brings Mary Norton’s beloved novels The Borrowers, about tiny people living under a family’s floorboards, to the stage in Charles Way’s adaptation, directed by Whit MacLaughlin and starring Bi Jean Ngo.
If Scrooge is what you’re after, head to Hedgerow.

Barrymore Award-winner Jennie Eisenhower co-stars. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled by the title Dublin Carol ; Conor McPhersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s December-set drama, receiving its area première from Amaryllis Theatre Co., is set in a funeral home and is reminiscent of his spooky The Weir. New City Stage Co. begins a three-play season examining suicide among women with the Philadelphia première of Christopher Durangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark comedy Miss Witherspoon, featuring the always-mesmerizing Julie Czarnecki in the title role as a suicide lost in the afterlife. Several short runs deserve mention, too: At Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Passage Theatre, Jeffrey Solomon performs his one-man comedy Santa Claus Is Coming Out, Nov. 27 and 28. The Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium again teams with satirical news source The Onion for a new Raw Onion installment of monologues, Winter Onionland, for three performances on Dec. 5. On Dec. 11, physical theater performers Tribe of Fools present their Christmas cabaret, Bare-Knuckle Burlesque, billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything you want in a burlesque show and probably a few things that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Finally, Lantern Theater Co. gives the gift of Anthony Lawton in Between Heaven and Hell, three of his terrific one-man shows in repertory: C.S. Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Great Divorce, Shel Silversteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Devil and Billy Markham and the accomplished actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Heresy, detailing his teenage struggles to reconcile his strict Catholicism with his redblooded-American-male urges. For all whose holidays need an extra dose of religion and/or sex. (m_cofta@citypaper.net)

THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE Aunt Dracula returns to Philly with visions of a dark, demented future. By A.D. Amorosi ast year, Philly band Aunt Dracula announced it was moving to California to find fortune, fame and any and all weirdness. Farewell gigs were booked, and all you could think was how the good ones always leave to make the most out of what they got. So what the hell is Scott Daly doing in Philly with a new Aunt Dracula, playing a massive post-Thanksgiving show at Johnny Brenda’s? “We never ended up actually moving to L.A.,” laughs Daly. “However, we did total our van on the 101 in Los Angeles on the way to a gig.” No one was hurt during the crash, but one man’s highway horror is another’s prosaic revelation. Daly went back to school in Philadelphia and put together a five-piece band (previous incarnations were of the duo and trio variety). “I started writing the songs for Aunt Dracula back in 2005 at a practice space out by 69th Street, but we didn’t play our first show until 2007,” says Daly. “I grew up listening to and loving the kinds of records that seemed to be magical.” Aunt Dracula Mach 1 wanted to be a magical band, one that could exist comfortably outside the box, avant-garde yet still be fun and exciting to listen to. The band’s debut, Face Peel, had a campy horror-film lilt to its melodies and a sandblasted psychedelic edge to its guitars, while the rhythms tinkled with a Brazilian kick. Their oddball characterstrewn lyrics and scale-shifting vocal arrangements made them more dramatic still. “It’s a 45-minute episodic sonic exploration of the connection
Aunt Dracula
between beauty and darkness,” Daly said at the time. “Some of it came from a pretty strange place in my life. I guess to me, it’s kinda the sound of death and rebirth, if that makes sense.” It made some sense, but Aunt Dracula’s unflinching eccentricity and mystery surely kept some audiences at bay. Take “Evo Tito,” which breaks down from its metal machine roots to borrow the melody from Billy Joel’s “You May Be Right.” This Aunt Dracula wants you to like them. The increased membership was intended to give the live show a full, lustrous sound, even on the old tunes. The new album they’re presently recording with Jeff Ziegler (of local shoe-gazers Relay) is still psychedelic, but in a whole different way than Face Peel. “These new ones go further. But the roads
“It’s kinda the sound of death and rebirth, if that makes sense.”
that they take to get there are a little more familiar. They explore melody in a more symphonic way. More psychedelic, but also more accessible.” In particular Daly wants audiences to listen up for new songs such as “Mummy Dust” and “The Beach Song.” “They are definitely something different than anything we’ve done before,” he claims. “‘Mummy Dust’ is like a dark pop hit that Marty McFly might have heard if he turned on the radio when he went back to the wrong 1985 in Back to the Future 2, you know, when Biff stole the sports almanac and everyone was buggin’.” (a_amorosi@citypaper.net) ✚ Sat., Nov. 27, 9 p.m., $10, with Soars, Johnny

CELL 211|B “Sometimes, life fucks you up and you don’t even realize.” When Malamadre (Luis Tosar), an inmate at Zamora Prison, shares this bit of wisdom with guard Juan Oliver (Alberto Ammann), they share something like a smile. Smoking cigarettes near the end of Cell 211 (Celda 211), they’re reflecting on what’s happened in the past 24 hours. The film has followed Juan inside the prison that morning: a new guard, arriving a day early to impress his superiors and get a feel for the place. Almost as soon as he walks inside, he’s under assault — by the building, when a chunk of ceiling whacks him in the head. Turns out a riot is starting, and Juan’s colleagues panic, leaving him unconscious in a cell as they make their escape. Following some hectichandheld mayhem, Juan is discovered by an inmate, who drags him before the rioters’ leader, Malamadre. Looking to menace the new guy, Malamadre forces him to strip naked before a room full of men. “You could win a beauty contest with that,” Malamadre smirks, adding that it was probably a bad idea to “undress in front of all these fags.” Like Malamadre’s observation about life, this one resonates throughout the film, which is full of people watching each other. And no one sees accurately. The warden uses surveillance cameras to monitor the inmates; Juan’s pregnant wife learns of his ordeal by watching TV (and then starts making some very bad decisions); and the inmates are soon watching CNN to keep track not only of the outside’s spin on their experience, but also the fact that other prison populations throughout Spain are following
suit, demanding that their abuse by guards cease. These scenes all intersect for Juan, whose viewpoint that the prisoners are immoral brutes gives way to skepticism of the guards. Even as the plot turns too convenient, this focus on misreading what seems obvious makes Daniel Monzón’s movie more compelling than generic. —Cindy Fuchs (Ritz at the Bourse)
FASTER Read Drew Lazor’s review at citypaper.net/movies.
LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS|B+ In Edward Zwick’s sexiest feature since Legends of the Fall, Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a first-generation pharmaceutical drug salesman in the mid-’90s who meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway) while he’s peddling Zoloft at a doctor’s office. She’s there to treat her early-onset Parkinson’s, and he’s there to make an easy buck in a brand-new industry. But despite Maggie’s stone-cold insistence that sex — not a relationship, not anyone to rely on — is all she’s after, they wind up sleeping together and staying together, her stubborn self-determination a perfect complement to his insecurity masquerading as confidence. That is, until Jamie’s Mr. Fix It attitude — that there must be a drug out there that can cure Maggie’s debilitating illness — brings to the fore her greatest fear, of being a burden. Hathaway’s performance is stunningly vulnerable, and Gyllenhaal brings levity and sensitivity to a role that could have felt rote. It’s refreshing, too, to see someone other than Seth Rogen or Jonah Hill (in this case, Josh Gad) playing the lead’s plump jester of a right-hand man. At first it feels like small-ball for Zwick, who’s hit films like Blood Diamond and Glory out of the park, but Love and Other Drugs is surprisingly affecting, especially when

✚ NAKED BEN FRANKLIN I may never understand artists’ preoccupation with nudity, but they all seem to love it. Ryan Mulligan, for example. His latest show is as odd as its title implies: Mulligan uses his drawings and sculptures to simultaneously depict and offer solutions to problems. Paintings spill off the canvas to occupy entire walls, and Mulligan’s whimsically childlike style imbues confused innocence to depictions of weapons and sex toys. In addition to culling memories from his youth, Mulligan injects his versions of recognizable products and landmarks to cater to our pop culture-saturated society. Found objects such as Rubik’s cubes and cereal boxes are also found scattered throughout
Mulligan’s prismatic space. Though not grotesque, the drawings of people evoke a forgotten corner of a major city. And yes, there is a topless drawing of Ben Franklin in there, but Mulligan mercifully stops before we find too much of the founding father. —Eric Schuman Through Dec. 4, free, Pterodactyl, 3237 Amber St., 215-501-7158, pterodactylphiladelphia.org.

✚ BARDO POND
✚ THE ART OF CAMERAS
When a band releases an eponymous album this deep into its career, what’s it mean? They’ve run out of ideas? They’ve perfected their sound? They realize that the longplayer format is arbitrary and that all their music is just an extension of themselves so why bugger about with such nomenclaturely contrivances? Bardo Pond, the Philly psychsonic expansionists’ eighth studio album and first for Fire Records, smacks of that creating-on-the-razor’s-edge
Before they were integrated into your phone, cameras were seen as works of art, and local enthusiast Tom Holtje has amassed a collection to prove it. From the intricately artistic to the gaudy and kitschy, cameras were sometimes fabricated by noted designers or released as promotional items for companies, while others were crafted with smaller, more personal expression in

executive chef? Or the 7,000 Filipino-Americans who fought in World War II? In an effort to broaden the Philippine cultural knowledge of both FilipinoAmericans and non-Filipinos alike, Drexel University is hosting the Smithsonian traveling exhibit “Singgalot: The Ties That Bind.” Using almost 100 images and historical documents, the exhibit will trace the history of Filipinos in America and celebrate Filipino achievements in the arts, literature, sports and the health-care industry. The student initiative behind the exhibit is a testament to Philippine pride itself: After students in Drexel’s Filipino Intercultural Society found out about the exhibit, they pitched it to Drexel board member Judge Ida K. Chen and are playing an integral role by volunteering to monitor the exhibit during its entire run at the Intercultural Center.

✚ SUMMER FICTION If you went to club shows in Philadelphia during the early aughts, chances are you saw Bill Ricchini once or twice. You just might not recall it. The singer-guitarist had a knack for understatement, both in his wistful songwriting and his placid onstage demeanor. You probably dug his music, but maybe wanted him to break loose a little more. That’s exactly what happens on the selftitled debut from his new band Summer Fiction, celebrating its record release at Johnny Brenda’s on Wednesday. Back in Philly from an extended sojourn in New York City, and teamed up with old scene friends Brian Christinzio (BC Camplight), Dave Hartley (War on Drugs) and Eliza Jones (Buried Beds), his new music at once feels warmly fa-
miliar and vastly exploratory. In between the ’70s troubadour stylings championed by the Ricchini of yore are detours into strummy island harmonies (the Dirty Projectors-ish “Kids in Catalina”), ’50s dancefloor flashbacks (the very BC “Chandeliers”), numerous waltzes, horns and aural long shots of surf washing in on the beach, then drifting softly away. It’s a rich, eclectic assortment of summertime pop for wintery moods.

snotty oenophiles for decades. Wait until they get a load of Vino Solo. Developed by Singlz KDM, a joint venture of Manayunk-based producer/importer KDM Global Partners (you’ve seen its Black Elk brand in state stores) and Singlz International of New Zealand,Vino Solo is a new packaging concept that combines wine glass and wine bottle into one pocket-friendly 187 ml plastic vessel. Crack the thing open, flip the flute, pour, and you’re sipping — no need for a separate glass. KDM, which does much of its business with large retail chains (they’ve developed brands for Macy’s, Marshall Field’s and 7-Eleven), hopes to integrate Vino Solo into arenas that rely heavily on the mini wine bottle, such as concert venues, convention centers, hotels and airlines. KDM president Jonathan Gelula touts the ease with which Vino Solo can be stored and dispensed as the product’s major selling point, but also stresses that the vino portion of the equation is not being glossed over. “They all have screw tops, and they’re all sub-par-type wine,” says Gelula of most other 187 ml options. “This is a convenience item, but not only are we offering a different type of packaging, we’re offering much better juice inside.” (KDM makes wine in Napa, Sonoma, Argentina, Chile and Spain.) Vino Solo, slightly depressing name notwithstanding — we’ve been jokingly referring to it as “Cat Lady Chardonnay” at my house — is steadily making headway in its very specific niche of the wine market. Gelula says Vino Solo has a retail presence in 12 states so far, and hopes to have the product on Pennsylvania Wine & Spirits shelves in early 2011. (drew.lazor@citypaper.net)
SUCKERS FOR IT: Though you might not be able to tell from PBR’s name, the Old City bar puts out some great food, like this grilled octopus and fennel plate. NEAL SANTOS
[ review ]
CANNED DO Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant is not yet blueribbon worthy. By Adam Erace PHILADELPHIA BAR & RESTAURANT (PBR) | 120 Market St., 215-925-7691, philadelphiabarandrestaurant.com. Food served Mon.Tue., 4-11:30 p.m.; Wed.-Sat., 4 p.m.-1 a.m.; Sun., 11-1 a.m. Bar till 2 a.m. nightly. Snacks, $5; appetizers, $7-$16; sandwiches, $8-$11; entrées, $14$22; desserts, $5-$7.
O
n Thursday mornings, the kitchen at Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant, better known (for better or worse) as PBR, smells like Gloria Borowik Maziarz’s house. On these days, her grandson More on: and PBR chef, Jordan “Red” Sauter, prepares a big batch of bigos, the traditional Polish hunter’s stew that runs on special for $14. “We flick off the hoods and breathe it in,” Sauter says. “It takes me back.” Borowik means porcini in Polish, and Sauter gives Gram her propers by including the earthy mushrooms in his Thursday blue plate. Ingredients vary village to village, but tradition dictates bigos must include white cabbage, honey, sausage and a second variety of meat, and the chef respects his old heads by incorporating all that — snappy Leidy’s kielbasa, chicken thighs, Kissling’s sauerkraut, green apples — in a malty beige broth of Yuengling, sauerkraut juices and pieds-de-cochon stock scented with caraway
citypaper.net
and marjoram. In Old City, where lots of things have dribbled down lots of chins, bigos is probably a first. Served in a hollowed Hudson Bread sourdough roll, Sauter’s bigos is soul in a bowl, but not exactly an everyday player on your typical Old City saloon lineup. Then again, PBR isn’t your typical Old City saloon, with silver maple bar-tops and ivory-paned floorto-ceiling windows; a gem-rich beer program that scored me a rare bottle of Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale (yes, they also serve Pabst); and Sauter, whose presence gives this kitchen a fat dose of food-nerd cred. Sauter spent the past two years and seven months rolling fresh gemelli, grilling whole branzini and feeding turistas as the chef de cuisine at Peter McAndrews’ Modo Mio. “But it was never going to be my show,” he explained during our interview, one of the reasons he started perusing Craigslist, where MORE FOOD AND he found a post by PBR’s owners, career DRINK COVERAGE bartenders Nicolas Moore and Shawn AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / Gormley (Lucy’s Hat Shop, Drinker’s). M E A LT I C K E T. Sauter went from one kitchen to the other without taking a day off in between. “I really respect Italian food, but here I don’t need to work within those restrictions,” says Sauter, a freedom that allows the chef to amble from fish tacos to crispy calf’s tongue with smoked black pepper to the bigos and back. The irony is that some of the best things here are Modo-ish in nature. Take the grilled octopus, one of the most appetizing dishes I’ve eaten all year. The pyre of smoky, singed tentacles sang, Mediterranean sirens enchanting octo-philes with their zesty marinade of garlic, harissa and sesa>>> continued on page 35

A LOVE MISSED
A NICE ONE!
This goes to my neighbor, I hate your bald-headed ass! You supposed to be a woman and I can’t stand your ass! You make me so sick! When I see you I wanna throw the fuck up or throw something at you! Why the fuck do you think that someone wants to sit back and hear your shit! I can’t stand the fact that you act like people of mixed heritage
Ok! We all can’t fit on this fucking train what is your problem pushing and shoving like a fucking animal! I hate the morning rush people they act like they don’t have any common sense and it makes me sicker each time I get on the train! It annoys me to think that I have to get off the train with you dumb ass people which some of you are doing important things at your job like payroll! I couldn’t imagine you assholes doing payroll, if you can’t even fit in the train car but trying to fit in there anyway! Who does that shit! Then a stupid ass guy the other day was leaning his skinny arm across me knowing he couldn’t and shouldn’t of held on to the side where I was standing! I think he is an asshole! Look at the logic it is like the sides a a square...it is fucking square a pentagon can’t fit in a square. Duh!
PLAIN MINDLESS
are beneath you! Hell you are a fucking foreiegn bitch that evades the census people when they come around! I wish that you would hurry up and move already! What the fuck is taking your ass so long to go back to Trinidad! You don’t like me and I don’t like you! Dam I hate you!
BYE-BYE NOW! To the ugly bitch downstairs form me! BITCH I know you got a crush on my husband but you gone have to fallback. NO you cannot borrow our fucken carpet steamer again! you got a dude, UTILIZE him. Because bitch I swear if I ever catch you having a discussion with my husband without my consent I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU ONE EVIL BITCH! I will fuck you and ya daughters up OVER
YOU. BITCH BE A WOMAN! RESPECT ME OR BE DISPESPECTED!physically!! Bye Bye now!
DON’T INSULT ME! You. Behind the counter at Eddie’s tattoo. I came in to get an idea of what my tattoo would run generally, and how difficult the design was and you were a total dick. You accused me of “price shopping” and said you wouldn’t talk to me unless I was getting the tattoo right then and there. Then your artist in the back chimed in that buying a tattoo wasn’t like “buying a pair of jeans”. Look, dummies, I may not be covered head to toe in tattoos, but I’m not some Ugg wearing princess looking for the cheapest place to get a tramp stamp; I wanted a “professional” opinion on the difficulty of the design. I grew up
So, when was your lame Sorry Sanitation of Street Department going to inform tax payers that you’re not picking up brown lawn bags? My bag was labeled TRASH, neatly packed, and less than 30 pounds. Your workers had numerous Shitty excuses on why bag was left: 1. We had a meeting and was told not to pick up bags, 2. Bag is damp at bottom and might burst, 3. Bag is tied and we don’t know what’s it (I tied it to keep people from placing their trash in bag). So, you’re telling me that you open every green plastic trash bag during pick ups, and examine contents. Do you leave green plastic bags wih holes left by stray cats and dogs, because you fear they might burst? Your reasonings for not picking up bags wouldn’t hold in court, because during summer months you clean lots overloading brown bags with feces, glass, leaves, garbage, tree limbs etc. WHAT, YOU HIRE A LEPRECHAUN TO SEPARATE LEAVES FROM TRASH? I don’t think so. So one minute you want me to save the earth, another minute you want me to use plastic and ruin it. The following day on the 500 block of North 15th Street I spotted three brown Lowe bags left homeowners, but not picked up sanitation workers. Bags were neither wet nor tied shut, however one bag was overloaded by citizen that decided to unload trash from car, and then make a quick get away. Next time Meeting of the MIndless make a decision please post in newspaper, on radio, and on news. Inform us like you do when you want us to vote for your sorry asses during election time. ✚ To place your FREE ad (100 word limit), go to citypaper.net/ILUIHU and follow the prompts.

You stank bitch, I saw you make that ugly face at the first biker and then me in the morning. Are you stupid? You were the one taking your sweet-ass time crossing the road while the light was red and everyone was trying to get to school and work! What, did you expect me to swerve into traffic so you could amble across the fucking street? You
Why the fuck did you try to squeeze in the back door knowing that you are a fat ass pig! Then you going to say that it smell like something on the fucking bus! That was your ass because it didn’t smell like anything until you got the fuck on! I hate the fact that some fat people try to squeeze themselves into or on something knowing they can’t fucking fit! Here’s a hint for you! If you are bigger than your primary target...don’t try to get into it! It doesn’t work! Plus think about this...how did you really think that people were going to pass through the aisles!

BITCH IN THE STREET
FAT PIG BITCH
IT’S FUCKING CROWED
BAR FUCKS! Don’t call yourself a cafe when you’re the trashiest of bars. Not only are there shitty live bands until 2am on weekends, but every night the same drunken idiots scream at the top of their lungs in the parking lot at 2am. I’ve also seen several domestic abuse incidents and even some impromptu power rallies, at 2am, on a weeknight, in the parking lot. The police don’t do anything b/c of township bribery. Who are you STD laden hillbilly losers who think the height of partying is screaming in a parking lot? As soon as I can get a new house I’ll be guaranteed to get sleep on weeknights (imagine!), won’t have to escape to other people’s houses on weekends, all of my problems will be solved and my life will be perfect.
with tattoed bikers and criminals who have treated me with more decency than you pricks. Way to be unprofessional judgmental hypocrites!

Okay, you Mother Fuckin’ Jack wagon; this one is for you! I loved you... oh, I sure did! You’re a mother fucking Mama’s boy who is over 50 years old and still lives with her! You are a freakin’ psycho on top of it. I let all that go!!! I was your first girlfriend. “Mommy Dearest” told me that you lying piece of shit! No other girlfriend who you lived with and committed suicide! THAT WAS A MAN! A biker who was gay... wanna explain that? Don’t bother I don’t give a fuck! You make me wanna puke like there’s no tomorrow!! Sickening, pathetic! There are two accurate adjectives to describe you! Right on the button actually... kudos for me you institutionalized four times sick mother fucker! You played me like a Stravarius with all your lies.. I was innocent... shame on me. No more! I ain’t that same woman anymore. I’ve learned my lesson well. Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk now, as the song goes! Why don’t you hit yourself in the head with a hammer again like you did when we lived together last year. Only this time, please don’t just knock yourself unconscious... knock yourself out for good! Do the world a favor and take all your fucking threats of committing suicide and make them come true..... bye, you asshole. Check out! Have a couple of pints of Bud before you exit too! You called yourself a functional alcoholic? You ain’t fucking functional now. You live with “Mommy” at the age of 52, and will be there till you die cause you fucking don’t know a thing about living and never will... you just can’t take care of yourself. Look back into that “group home” for disturbed individuals you talked about back in March, cause when Mother of the year croaks you are gonna need it! Have a nice life :)
BITCH NEIGHBOR
MY HUSBAND! naw bitch NOT INSECURE! just checking you bitch because I know how bitches get. And why you at it why don’t you get your nasty fucken trash can out of that hallway downstairs. I came in from work one night and I saw the mice playing hopscotch in the hallway. No wonder my cat wants to get out the door every night. Fall back shorty, Because I will BASH YOUR FUCKEN HEAD IN! Over my husband.you just lucky that the time i caught him in your door talking while you where on your couch, that I didn’t cuss you the fuck out then. My husband gave me the pitiful “please don’t embarass me” face, SO I SPARED
classifieds
Pipsqueak, you come into the gym ostensibly to do your Zumba class. We both know you’re just looking for someone like me to love. So why, then, do you never talk to me? I see you doing your dance with your little gray streak of hair, which you probably think is sexy. Well, just because it is, doesn’t negate the fact that you are an impudent strumpet! Vile thing! Small Fry! Minimus! Squirt! Why won’t you talk to me?
should be grateful we didn’t run you over and leave a tire mark on your ugly face. Next time try being smarter and then maybe you won’t have to go around with a nasty look on your face. Bye bitch!
