TAX RETURN: Sherrie Cohen, a former City Council candidate and an organizer of the Fair Share Coalition, is fighting to save her father’s wage-tax rebate for the working poor. NEAL SANTOS

Due to a water shortage in Camden, residents are told to boil their water before drinking it. Now there’s an aloe shortage. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, facing a $17 million deficit, announces it will eliminate its youth programs. This should also reduce legal fees. House pose for photos giving the middle finger to a portrait of Ronald Reagan, stirring up controversy, particularly in the right-wing media. Bell Curve would like to remind all sides that fingers are not magic and pictures are not the same things as people. It doesn’t matter if you give the finger to a picture. Try giving the finger to a drawing of an apple. Same thing. Nothing sacred was in any way fucked with.

WAGE WAR Late Councilman David Cohen believed wagetax reform was his greatest legacy — now it may never be realized. By Samantha Melamed

I

n 2004, after years of negotiations and politicking, the fiery but aging Councilman David Cohen rammed through City Council (and past a mayoral veto) what he believed was one of his most important achievements: a wage-tax rebate for the working poor. Cohen died in October 2005 at age 90. By January 2006 the attempts to repeal the Cohen rebate had begun. Since then, the rebate has been delayed and diluted. Now, Mayor Michael Nutter and City Council are in the thick of the third and perhaps most-plausible-yet repeal campaign. Whether the Cohen rebate is conclusively wiped from the tax code this Council term (perhaps even by the time you read this) or it survives until the next, seemingly inexorable, repeal effort, history suggests that tax relief for low-income Philadelphians may remain out of reach. The question — in a poor city, governed by a heavily Democratic leadership with presumably progressive values — may be: Why? The late councilman’s daughter, Sherrie Cohen, a community activist who herself has unsuccessfully run for Council, has spent much of the last eight years attempting to defend her father’s legacy. She says the explanation for the perennial attacks on the bill is simple: “It’s just not a priority of those in power to do what they can for low-income people. All sorts of other tax cuts are viewed as, ‘Well,

this is an investment. Let’s not tax a business; they’ll create more jobs.’ But this is also a stimulus to the economy, as well as to the people who need this most. And that’s not a priority for our councilpeople, most of whom are members of the Democratic Party.” Plus, she says, “there’s always budget issues” — and the everdelayed Cohen credit is an expedient place to cut: It’s money lowincome Philadelphians don’t even realize they’re missing. That was true in 2006, when then-Mayor John Street first pushed for repeal — to a general outcry: Councilman James Kenney compared it to “smacking David Cohen in the grave,” while then-Councilman Nutter pledged to block the repeal — and again in ’08, when Mayor Nutter launched his own repeal campaign, arguing that it was the key to clearing the way to restart across-the-board wage-tax cuts. Both efforts were defeated, but the Cohen rebate was postponed, to fiscal 2017. Now, Nutter is looking to resume across-the-board tax cuts in fiscal 2014, which begins next July. So, he says, the Cohen rebate has to go. “Wage taxes are too high, period. We believe the fair thing to do is to bring it down for everyone,” explains Jane Roh, spokeswoman for Council President Darrell Clarke. But Steve Herzenberg of the Keystone Research Center says targeted relief would be the truly fair thing. “The Philadelphia tax system is one of the most inequitable in the country, and it’s particularly unfair to people on the low end,” he says. The administration argues across-the-board relief “will increase

“Low-income people are not a priority.”

“This is a question of politics versus policy.” the city’s economic competitiveness and spur growth,” and Budget Director Rebecca Rhynhart says the city’s research supports that. But Herzenberg expects the impact of across-the-board tax cuts would be negligible. By contrast, he says, the Cohen rebate could provide a real stimulus, since poor people tend to spend more of any tax relief they receive, and less of the benefit would leak outside the city to commuters. Keystone figures 66 cents of each dollar of targeted relief will be spent in Philly, compared with 25 cents on the dollar of across-the-board tax cuts. Jonathan Stein, a Community Legal Services lawyer who’s advocating to preserve the Cohen credit, says, at the least, the two tax cuts should be compared side by side in hearings. As it is, he says, “There’s no real debate. These are serious policies of equity and economic impact, and [the decision] shouldn’t be made in this very low-visibility way.” In mid-June, Council’s Committee of the Whole approved the repeal with a one-vote margin; however, it was held last week, offering a glimmer of hope to its proponents. They’re spreading the word that there are not only economic benefits, but savings to be had: The Cohen rebate, they say, would cost $54 million over five years; the blanket cut, $80 million.

But Councilwoman Marian Tasco says it’s just bad timing. “This stuff comes on the heels of a real downturn in the market,” she says. But “circumstances change. I find in this business you can always come back.” Sherrie Cohen doubts that. After all, stopping a repeal takes just nine votes; enacting a new targeted rebate could well require 12 — to overrule yet another mayoral veto. And anyway, she says, “people in our city need economic relief sooner than later.” The problem, Herzenberg worries, is that those people are not the point of this debate at all. “This is a question of politics versus policy,” he says. “The folks that this would benefit … don’t give a lot to political campaigns. So, clearly, some elected officials are judging an across-the-board cut to be better politics. I haven’t heard a convincing argument that it’s better policy.” (samantha@citypaper.net)

³MY RECENT COVER story on the nu-Delaware

Avenue didn’t just thrill hipster doofuses and theatah lovers. It rang bells for local club entrepreneurs — let’s call them “clunts” — looking to cash in on the hot SkrillDipmau5 scene. Suddenly, these clunts are trying to fill in the holes in NoLibs and Delaware Ave. by leasing any spot big enough to chill meat in. But hold your horses, boys. Political representatives aren’t exactly keen on the noise and the nuisance you’ll bring. Example: The recent interest in the now-vacant Club Egypt at Delaware and Spring Garden. Several clunts put in bids on the large-scale mega-watt corner location. No positive word if one of them was Rumor’s Mark Marek, whom we noted a while back was rumored to be looking to open a club space on the Ave. Marek supposedly posted something last week about opening a surprise 2,000-capacity live club. Marek’s partner in Rumor, Joe Grasso,co-owns the Egypt building. You connect the dots. Either way, area politicos ain’t having it. Stay tuned. ³ Chris Malcarney’s cLone Justice — a cover band of players from Nixon’s Head, Beretta 76 and Slo Mo devoted to Lone Justice’s 1985 debut album — plays its final show June 28 at Kung Fu Necktie.Bonus points for getting Lone Justice singer Maria McKee to weigh in on the project on Facebook: “i love me a good cheese steak and some clone justice!. glad you guys are doing this so i don’t have to! ;).” ³ The Ital Market area got some hot (dog) news when the long-vacant O Sandwichesspot on Ninth next to Geno’s Steaks snagged a renter: Underdogs,Bob Amar’sgourmet weiner-y. Joey Vento’s rolling in his grave. La Lupe, O Sandwiches’ ex-neighbor, just emptied its taco emporium to prep for a move next to Teri’s and Connie’s Ric Rac on Ninth. Blocks to the north on Eighth, the Little Bar/Vesuviospace gets Growlers, a drink-centric eatery from Jason Evenchik (Time) and Jay Willard (Dandelion). ³ When ?uestlove brings his tasty fried chicken/?uest Loves Food project to Washington Ave.’s Night Market this Thursday (June 28), it’ll be a homecoming of sorts, even though he won’t be there. “[?LF partner] Graham Elliot and I do smaller events to keep sharp and so that they’re not so much out of my pocket,” laughs ?uest, whose Philly home is near the Italian Market. “It just so happens that this one is in my neighborhood, so there’s cool points there.” ?uest jokes that he’s now a disgruntled New Yorker, since he spends more time there than here (“I’m in Philly once a week”).That’ll change soon as ?uest and The Roots start rehearsals for their Fourth of July party on the Parkway and commence work on their next album. “I don’t want to jinx myself by not spending time with my records in my room [at N. Seventh Street’s The Studio] digging through crates.” (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

WORKING WONDERS Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad talks about the pursuit of temporary brain fever. By Patrick Rapa

S

ince I’ve got Jad Abumrad on the phone, I figured I’d rattle off some of my biggest paranoid fears brought on by his science/everything public radio show and podcast Radiolab. One: That a parasite is controlling my brain. “Which it is,” he says. Two: That I’m just a machine. “Which you clearly are.” And three: That I will one day be old and senile, and waiting at a fake bus stop for a bus that never comes. There’s a “strong probability” of that, he says. He’s joking, but he’s also sorta not. As the co-host of Radiolab — along with Robert Krulwich — Abumrad knows a little something about the hazy edges of the human experience. The thing about parasites setting up shop in the brain and manipulating behavior is from season six, episode three. (Good stuff about zombie cockroaches in that one.) The people-aremachines idea comes from one of Radiolab’s bonus “shorts” released on March 19, 2012, on the code-cracking forefather of artificial intelligence, Alan Turing. And the last one? That was the March 23, 2010, short on a German nursing home that keeps Alzheimer’s patients from running away by installing a fake bus stop out front.

Of course, fear is not Radiolab’s primary intent. “There’s a silent, secret desire to disturb in some of the stuff we do. But it’s a ‘disturb’ implicit in our mission which is to startle people, to shock people into new ways to see the world,” says Abumrad. “So yeah, maybe fear is a part of that.” An episode of Radiolab, now in its 10th season and heard locally on WHYY, usually involves its hosts exploring scientific, philosophical and psychological themes through a series of stories. It bears a skeletal resemblance to This American Life, though Abumrad’s mood-enhancing sound design — B-movie bleeps and bloops for a space story, irksome repetitions for a conversation on loops, incidental compositions throughout — makes Radiolab hard to mistake for anything else on the dial. “I feel like my job is to lead people to moments of wonder. To, step by step, walk myself and the people who I’m talking to right up to that moment,” says Abumrad. “You go to science to help you explain things. You go outside science when science fails to explain things. But you’re always moving because of that curiosity in order to get to a sense of awe. But a genuine sense of awe. Not, like, a cheap, easy sense of awe, but a real sense of awe at how the world works.” The key, he says, is sifting through mountains of stories and ideas for that one moment that gives you “a temporary brain fever,” as he calls it. “You get kind of like a flash of heat, like, Holy shit, really?’”

“There’s a silent, secret desire to disturb in some of the stuff we do.”

While titles like “Molest Dead” and “The Depths of Depravity” are kindergarten compared to the imagery Chris Barnes deployed in Cannibal Corpse, it’s for the best that we still can’t tell what he’s singing about. Well, “singing” is a bit of a misnomer; on Undead (Metal Blade), Barnes’ steamroller-on-gravel voice is better understood as another instrument alongside Kevin Talley’s carpet-bombing drums and the Venus flytrap attack of guitarists Steve Swanson and Rob Arnold. Six Feet Under began life as a Frankensteinian death metal supergroup, but by this, its ninth album, the band has mutated and congealed into something more deliciously sinister.

A half-century after his father released Blue Train on Blue Note Records, Ravi Coltrane makes his own debut for the label. Instead of feeling constricted by the pressures of his legacy, Spirit Fiction finds Coltrane in a loose, expansive mood. The saxophonist divides his time between two completely different ensembles, floating assuredly between the sort of modal excursions that his father pioneered and the more angular, free-form experiments of his own generation.

Album titles rarely come as succinctly encapsulating as Celebration Rock (Polyvinyl), the sophomore salvo from Vancouver power duo Japandroids (who hit a sold-out Johnny Brenda’s on Friday.) It begins and ends with literal fireworks, but even that feels too pale a gesture to contain the half-hour of nonstop, in-the-red fist-pump that comes between, channeling the youthful abandon of their scrap-heap debut into something far richer and more immediate: a surging, shout-along treatise on the electric potential of every single, perfectly ephemeral instant. —K.

We’re clearly due for a new onslaught of UK soul singers right about now, and we could do a lot worse than Emeli Sandé, whose Christian name, in a not-so-subtle twist of serendipity, turns out to be Adele. While it’s mostly more subdued than its barnstorming lead single — the euphoric, amen-break fantasia “Heaven” — portended, the ballad-inclined Our Version of Events (Virgin) is a treat nevertheless, recalling the refreshingly unfussy sophistication of Beyoncé’s 4, a full-on diva showcase bliss—K.

The mere spectacle of the event itself was immensely satisfying.

and frightening thing. There are few events in the world of live artistic performance to match the sheer range and scope of such an undertaking, let alone the almost incalculable risk. This month saw two premieres in Philadelphia, one from the Opera Company of Philadelphia (OCP), long a purveyor of the traditional repertoire, but recently committed to supporting living composers, and the other from the small and enterprising Center City Opera Theater (CCOT). Founded by Andrew Kurtz in 1999, CCOT also began life as a presenter of Donizetti, Mozart and Puccini, but has now been bravely rebranded as a champion of new work. The two new operas, Dark Sisters, by Nico Muhly, and Michael Ching’s Slaying the Dragon, from OCP and CCOT, respectively, are strong and memorable works, conceived with distinctly different artistic methods. Slaying the Dragon,a tale of the redemption of a Klan leader in a Southern hamlet via his interaction with a rabbi and his wife, is essentially drawn in broad, comic-book-like strokes — but that technique worked perfectly well for Puccini, so this is not really a criticism. Ching and his librettist, Ellen Frankel, alternate between well-wrought lyricism and a boldly unfiltered view of stark racism, a jarring but effective contrast. The work would be even stronger if it included a true fallen hero (the rabbi, maybe) rather than the overtly feel-good conclusion, even as it acknowledges that the Klan lives on. Muhly’s score and story, with a libretto by Stephen Karam, is a few degrees more subtle, but also suffers from tackling a huge subject within a self-imposed theatrical box. Dark Sisters is a tale set in a Mormon splinter sect’s polygamist compound, and touches on religious tolerance, misguided religiosity, societal interaction, familial relations, misogyny and, and … Yes, a lot to stew about. Fortunately, the OCP production was mesmerizing, and Muhly’s score contains many sections of glistening beauty that were rendered by a tremendous ensemble performance, and so the mere spectacle of the event itself was immensely satisfying, regardless of the subject matter. Then again, you could say the same thing about Puccini. (p_burwasser@citypaper.net)

[ A- ] “THIS IS NOT who I am,” says Channing Tatum as Magic Mike’s titular male stripper. “It’s what I do.” But in Steven Soderbergh’s buffed-and-waxed fairy tale, the line between the two is as thin as the G-string covering Matthew McConaughey’s asshole. In a piss-yellow Tampa the color of Traffic’s Tijuana, Mike stockpiles cash any way he can, working construction, detailing cars and removing his clothes to the screams of hundreds of women a night. When he’s on stage, showing off the steps he honed as a Chippendale dancer, Tatum is breathtaking, not only for his physique but his physical grace; he’s selling his moves as well as his muscles. Mike is just salting away cash until he can secure a loan for his custom-furniture business, but the short-term promise of “women, money and a good time,” is more than enough for Adam (Alex Pettyfer), who quickly establishes himself as the Anne Baxter to Tatum’s Bette Davis. McConaughey’s Dallas, who owns the strip club and acts as its hairless, chiseled MC, sees in Adam a budding star he can have cheap; where Mike expects equity in Dallas’ pending Miami venture, Adam accepts a lesser percentage as a grateful gift. For most of Magic Mike’s first hour, “women, money and a good time” is enough for the movie as well. The barely clothed dance numbers carry none of the ugly baggage that would weigh down a movie about female strippers, especially since Reid Carolin’s script studiously avoids any mention of steroids, speed or eating disorders. They’d only kill the buzz. Until the other shoe drops, Magic Mike is pure, giddy enjoyment, put together with the offhand skill of a slumming master. The latter stages are a letdown, not just because the high is followed by the inevitable hangover but because Soderbergh and Carolin assert the decline rather than build up to it. It seems to have less to do with 21st-century economics than an unspoken and unexamined assumption that taking your clothes off for a living will rot your soul. —Sam Adams

budget blockbusters; both are evoked in the PMA’s summer show. “Gauguin, Cézanne, Matisse: Visions of Arcadia,” curated by Joseph Rishel, traces explorations of an idealized paradise, a primeval landscape of blue skies; happy, gentle animals; and lots and lots of naked people. At first glance, this seems like another decorative, Impressionist-heavy summer show that everyone will eventually take their mom to. However, there’s more to the big-names exhibition than the surface, showing “Arcadia” as both a utopian vision and a meme of academic painting out of which burst modernism and surrealism. New gestures, marks and cultural gazes bloom in these canvases of idyllic landscapes and luscious bathers. The show is anchored by monumental canvases; its centerpiece, Gauguin’s Where Do We Come From? Where Are We? Where Are We Going?, along with Emile Bernard’s Bathers with Water Lilies and André Derain’s Bathers, are tours de force of confident brush strokes and inspired color choices. With the exceptions of Signac’s study for In the Time of Anarchy and Chavannes’ Summer, the Arcadian way is a life of leisure, though industrial modernity creeps in via Delaunay’s and Metzinger’s fragmented, mechanized visions. Many works, like Derain’s Earthly Paradise or Kirchner and Pechstein’s summer nudes, were actually produced while each artist was on retreat, and have a relaxed, vacation-y quality. Exhilarated by Delaunay’s Paris and soothed by Franz Marc’s gentle dream animals, it’s easy to see the modern parallel: When packing for any vacation, whether camping or down the Shore, we each bring along our own version of these same visions of natural paradises and bathing beauties. Summer vacation is Arcadia, purchased. The flip side of a commodified paradise can be found in another show, Ellen Harvey’s installation “Arcade/Arcadia” at Locks Gallery. Harvey counters the joyousness of modern boardwalk culture — a descendant of those canvases at the PMA — with visions of a faded seaside town. Harvey’s haunting installation examines Arcadia past its prime via the melancholy British resort town of Margate. In its Victorian-era glory days, the town was

a fashionable retreat for Londoners and home and inspiration to J.M.W. Turner, one of the great Romantic landscape painters of the 19th century. After decades of decline, Margate is now in the throes of an aggressive revitalization campaign, including the construction of the Turner Contemporary arts center, for which Harvey originally created “Arcade/Arcadia.” The viewer enters an openframe facsimile of Turner’s London gallery/studio wrapped in a giant, illuminated ARCADIA sign inspired by Margate’s nowdefunct Dreamland amusement park. Inside, a series of Harvey’s trademark mirror etchings depict the town’s contemporary shoreline. One end is dominated by a large panel of moonlight on water; and we experience Margate in an eerie gloaming.

What is Arcadia after the naked ladies go home? This shadow-Margate is devoid of people, except for the reflected viewers — the only visitors to this former Arcadia. Somehow, Harvey manages to simultaneously revile and celebrate the seaside retreat, Turner’s idealized vision and the role of the vacationer. Framing these artifacts of modernity are timeless, meticulously rendered etchings of lapping waves and ocean surface. In the back room, Harvey has defaced her mirrored shorelines with frenetic scribbling, forcing the viewer to gaze at the natural beauty as if through a scratched bulletproof window. We see Arcadia, but we know we can never get there. (alison.dell@citypaper.net) ✚ “Gauguin, Cézanne, Matisse: Visions

“We’re standing there in our actual bodies.� After that comes the research, the interviews and the reporting, “which is like the most over-articulated, cerebral thing. It somehow walks you away from that initial moment. But the whole intent was to somehow get the person on the other side of the box to have that same temporary brain fever you had from the very, very beginning.� So how do you rekindle the brain fever? “That’s why I have Robert. And why he has me. When you’re in these situations, usually one of you is deep in it and the other one isn’t,� says Abumrad. “It’s an act of empathy, in the end. It’s not an act of manipulation because you really are trying to get someone to feel what you feel so that you can share.� For a classic Radiolab moment of wonder, check out “Animal Minds� (Jan. 11, 2010). The opening story concerns a 50ton humpback whale tangled up in crab gear off the coast of California and the divers who swam up to cut it free. I won’t spoil it for you. Just look it up and listen. “You know, when I heard about this guy staring into the eye of a whale, all I could think was: I want to make people feel the way that I felt when I heard about it. And it is about that sense of being present, and being small in the eye of a creature that’s so grand, and so unlike you, so alien.� Recently the show has hit the road; this Friday at the Kimmel Center, Abumrad and Krulwich will be joined by the Pilobolus dance troupe, musician Thao Nguyen and comedian Demetri Martin for a program called “In the Dark.� Even on stage, he says, the Radiolab vibe remains intact, “except that we’re standing there in our actual bodies instead of disembodied in your ear. We constantly bounce between scripted and improv, argumentative and confessional, just like we do in the podcast. But there’s definitely a difference. Sometimes when Krul and I are bantering in the studio, I get so into it that I forget that anyone else exists in the world. That doesn’t happen on stage, with 2,000 people staring at us. Still, there are times when the room feels very small, almost the size of our little studio at WNYC.� (pat@citypaper.net) ✚ Fri., June 29, 8 p.m., $37-$50, Kimmel Center,

Every move Sam Harper (Chris Pine) makes at the beginning of People Like Us is cunningly calculated. First, he constructs a ruse to miss a cross-country flight for his father’s funeral. When met with a deservedly chilly reception from his widowed mother (Michelle Pfeiffer), he whips out a canned lie so he can flee back to his corporate sales job the next day. See, Sam is morally bankrupt, and were it not for Pine’s unabashed charisma, he’d be absolutely repugnant. When the prodigal son is tasked with delivering $150,000 to a half-sister he didn’t know existed, he selfishly holds onto the dough. Instead, he stalks down-on-her-luck sibling Frankie (Elizabeth Banks) and her troubled son, intertwining himself in their lives until he sees fit to reveal the truth of their shared parentage. This “we share DNA” reveal and subsequent redemption could unfold in 20 minutes. Instead, it takes two hours. The exploration of this family’s messy ties is all too neat and overworked, preventing the movie from reaching true tear-jerking potential. Still, sentimental moments push through the Hollywood patina. A solid cast elicits bona fide emotion from a by-the-book script without indulging in too much schmaltz. If only the superfluously delayed climax followed suit. —Michael Gold (Ritz Five)

TYLER PERRY’S MADEA’S WITNESS PROTECTION A haiku: Blah blah pretend to confuse Tyler Perry with RuPaul blah blah sigh. (Not reviewed) (Pearl, UA Riverview)

CONTINUING ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER|BBased on the popular 2010 book by Seth Grahame-Smith, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter delivers precisely what it promises. It starts with Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) as an Illinois rail-splitter of humble means. After mysterious and foppish man of leisure Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper) saves his life from a bloodsucker, Honest Abe insists he be trained in the fine art of creature combat so he can get his vengeance on the vamp (Marton Csokas) responsible for murdering his mother. Lincoln’s lasting influence as far as winning the Civil War and ending slavery is handled cartoonishly, which is probably a good thing — those flummoxed by the sheer existence of this shameless-but-satisfying bit of pop-history revisionism would probably scream even louder if those aspects were presented with anything but a smirk. —Drew Lazor (Pearl, UA Riverview) BRAVE|B+ Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) is a 10th-century Scottish princess with flaming hair and a temper to match, which means that when her mother (Emma Thompson) announces she’s to be married to a neighboring clan’s son, she objects on the strongest possible terms. The scenes that follow have a grace and beauty sometimes absent from the film’s more calculated sequences, and the outdoor setting gives the movie’s spacious 3D a chance to shine. The filmmakers find a look closer to stop-motion puppetry than not-quite-there human-

PROMETHEUS|B+ Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is a horror movie first and foremost, gnawing at subconscious terrors even as your conscious mind attempts to bat it away. But for all its blockbuster mechanics, the film feels more suggestive than hollow, even if its foundational premise turns out not to make a lick of sense. In not just its own universe but our own, it seems like a throwback to the time before Scott’s Alien, when science-fiction movies didn’t have to choose being microbudget head-scratchers or overblown spectacles, trying and occasionally succeeding to colonize the middle ground between the two. —SA (UA Riverview) ROCK OF AGES|B

Mark Duplass’ eccentric loner Kenneth claims to have a time machine at the ready, and he wants to revisit the day he blames for his own downfall. He places a classified ad that’s discovered by a magazine reporter (Jake M. Johnson), who sees an easy subject for a mocking article. Intern Darius (Aubrey Plaza) tags along, though her above-itall cynicism soon begins to peel away as she falls for Kenneth and uncovers her own emotional scars. Ultimately, the subplot involving Johnson feels half-hearted, and the stereotype-bending central characters are surrounded by actual, lazy stereotypes. By the time Kenneth unveils his time machine, neither an ending of the time machine working or it not working would be particularly satisfying, and the questions left unanswered aren’t compensated for by the offbeat but slight romance. —Shaun Brady (Ritz Five)

SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD|C Saddled with the knowledge that Earth will be decimated by an enormous asteroid in a few weeks’ time, Dodge’s (Steve Carell) adult friends start going nuts,

YOUR SISTER’S SISTER|C+ Mark Duplass, Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt plan to converge on an island off the coast of Seattle. DeWitt and Duplass arrive first, and after a night of increasingly drunken banter, he unseriously propositions her and she abruptly accepts. Blunt arrives the next morning without advance notice, and complications ensue. It sounds like the stuff of farce, or its inbred, nth-generation offspring, the sitcom. Regardless, it’s not something actors should have to approach with a straight face, let alone one limned with such all-fired solemnity. The movie is most alive when nothing is happening, when Duplass and DeWitt are sitting around a varnished wood table slugging tequila shots or DeWitt complains that the nonvegan mashed potatoes she’s been duped into eating contain “five pounds of fear.” But the more director Lynn Shelton pushes her characters into familiar territory, and especially as she strong-arms a trumped-up denouement, the more

At the center of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom is a love story between preteens Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) and Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward). The pair’s affection is mature and restrained, displaying the empathy the adult characters lack without too much mush. Even as threats to their relationship materialize, Gilman and Hayward portray an impressively reverent devotion. Anderson wisely hints at an uncertain post-adolescent future beyond the film’s scope. But Moonrise Kingdom, with its dusty vintage hues and fantastical environs, relishes that remarkable moment of childhood when anything seems possible. —MG (Ritz East)

feeding their children hard liquor, shooting heroin and screwing anyone who establishes eye contact with them. Dodge, meanwhile, continues going about his humdrum day-to-day, even after his miserable wife walks out on him. Enter Dodge’s flighty neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley), a vinyl-worshiping wispygirl archetype who agrees to accompany him on a journey to find his high-school sweetheart. The inexorable trudge toward Judgment Day and the bacchanal it births is an interesting backdrop for what’s essentially a road-trip rom-com, but the two leads are mapped out to uninventive extremes. Dodge has heavy daddy issues! Penny can’t commit! This is why they are the way they are! With the planet’s fate already sealed, who cares? —DL (UA Riverview)

MOONRISE KINGDOM|A

comedy is clunky, often predictable and relentlessly silly. It’s also weirdly irresistible — mostly because Tom Cruise fucking brought it. At the screening, the crowd went wild for Mary J. Blige, whose main role is singing the hard parts during montages. But in the end, this is Cruise’s movie. Despite his baboon sidekick, his giant steel codpiece and his apparent skill for making psychic connections with people by feeling them up, his Jaxx might just be the cure for Rock of Ages’ relentless cartoonishness. He’s hilarious, but also overserious, tortured, real. Every rose has its thorn. —Patrick Rapa (Roxy, UA Riverview)

‹‹ THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART PRESENTS: SPECTRAL IMPRESSIONS AT THE RODIN

HERE’S AN IDEA for a summer escape: Take in a world-première performance of cutting-edge contemporary classical music, all the while enjoying the lush gardens and dramatic sculpture of Auguste Rodin. Sound good? Tickets are now available for the Spectral Impressions concert series, featuring two adventurous musical compositions commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and inspired by the great French sculptor. These and other works will be performed by the Argento Chamber Ensemble in the gardens of the newly renovated and rejuvenated Rodin Museum, soon after it reopens in July. The first program, on Sun., July 22, is devoted to the music of Tristan Murail, who is considered the world’s authority on French Spectral music. His première piece will be performed along with works for ensemble, electronics and solo piano. The second program, for Sat., July 28, will feature three new works by Philippe Hurel, considered one of the most compelling French composers on the contemporary music scene. Hurel’s work has been described as sensual and intense, not unlike the work of Rodin himself. You’ll hear pieces for ensemble and solo vibraphone, as well as the world-premiere version of “Phasis” (2012) for clarinet and ensemble. So this summer, your world-class destination for sculpture can also be your must-visit venue

‹‹ PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL THE BELOVED PHILADELPHIA Folk Festival, known as the seminal summer event, will celebrate its 51st anniversary, Aug. 17-19, at the Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township near Schwenksville, Pa. Organizers have made a few exciting changes this year, including doing away with the Saturday afternoon concert, as well as deliberately booking fewer acts to allow for longer sets and more potential for collaboration. On Saturday, there will be continuous musical performances from 11 a.m. through midnight, with workshops, showcases and Main Stage events. Among the attractions this year: Little Feat, John Hiatt and the Combo, Steve Earle and The Dukes, Lucinda Williams, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Wanda Jackson,The Secret Sisters, City and Colour, Voices of the Wetlands Allstars,The Holmes Brothers, Strand of Oaks, Mary Gauthier, Mike Cross, Comas, Paul Thorn, The Hillbenders, Tracy Grammer, Red Clay Ramblers, Debo Band, Cabinet, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three and more! Plus, returning for his 51st consecutive year, the festival presents the “Godfather of Philadelphia Folk Music,” Gene Shay. The Philadelphia Folk Festival is a perfect family event, too, with puppeteers, jugglers, storytellers, hands-on crafts and of course, kid-oriented musicians gathering in Dulcimer Grove, the shady area that has become a haven for folk fans 12 and under. Children up to 11 years of age are admitted free to the concert area. Older kids, 12 to 17, are eligible for the special “youth ticket,” allowing them into the grounds for half the regular gate price, when accompanied by an adult. Again this year will be the special Campers Only concert on Thursday evening, where WXPN’s David Dye of the World Café will host John Fullbright, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and The Fighting Jamesons. The campground at the Philadelphia Folk Festival is considered the ultimate Folk Festival experience.

UNIVERSITY CITY DINING Days presented by Wells Fargo returns this year from Thu., July 12, to Thu., July 26, with a record-setting 34 restaurants. University City’s most popular dining destinations, including Dock Street Brewery, Pod and newcomers Sabrina’s Cafe, are now taking reservations for the seventh annual University City Dining Days. University City is home to some of the most innovative and diverse dining options in the region. From exceptional craft beer bars to celebrity chef restaurants to cozy BYOBs, University City’s international dining scene features dishes from India, Ethiopia, Vietnam and beyond. The participating restaurants offer a pre-fixe three-course dinner special for $15, $25 or $30. The discounted price points make it affordable to dine at a new location every night of the event, leaving your curiosity and taste buds sated and your wallet full. Dining Days drives traffic to University City restaurants during typically slow periods while introducing new customers to the neighborhood’s exciting and ever-growing dining scene. During Dining Days, the numbers of patrons increases by more than 50 percent at participating restaurants, so reservations are strongly encouraged. Prices are for dinner only and do not include tax, gratuity or alcohol, and reservations should be made directly through the participating restaurant.

‚‚ AZUKA THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS: HAZARD COUNTY DON’T MISS AZUKA Theatre Company’s production of Hazard County! When a young producer stumbles into town looking for stories and a fresh start, he believes he’s found both in Ruth. Her made-for-TV tale captures his attention - a broke young woman in a rural Kentucky town, unable to access the trust fund set up for her children after her husband’s murder. But neither of them has told the other the whole truth, and a past tainted by racism threatens to destroy Ruth’s already shaky existence. This story is interspersed with memorable monologues from fans and critics of The Dukes of Hazzard, who blow apart the Southern stereotypes that tend to deďŹ ne Ruth’s world.

✚ THE COUNTRY Tiny Dynamite Productions lives up to its name with Martin Crimp’s intimate and explosive The Country. A doctor (Carl Granieri) and his wife Corinne (Emma Gibson) verbally spar in their cave-like old home in David

O’Connor’s nuanced, riveting production. This couple may never have been happy, but their tense stalemate is shattered when he brings home an unconscious stranger (Laura Michelle Edoff) he supposedly found on a rural road. Who she is and what’s really happening unfolds gradually and indirectly. Gibson’s Corinne is brittle and dangerous — well-matched by Granieri’s secretive, defensive caregiver. Both are thrown by Edoff ’s intensely sharp, clearly conniving Rebecca when she wakes up. Debates about words like “sententiousness” and “solicitous” are tips of jagged icebergs, and poetic statements like “the stone has devoured my heart” waft like smoky haze. The Country doesn’t reveal situations and events in a straightforward, tidy way, but challenges us to divine a story through hints and clues, making up our own minds. Not everyone enjoys such a puzzle, but those who do will find this an engrossing,

unnerving experience. —Mark Cofta Through July 1, $15-$20, Walnut Street Theatre Studio 5, 825 Walnut St., 215-574-3550, tinydynamite.org.

✚ NORAH JONES Norah Jones’ public image — as an irreproachably classy, terminally unhip cocktail-jazz chanteuse — was cast a full decade ago, when she introduced herself with what became the archetypal dinner-music album (and easily the best-selling debut) of the 21st century. And it’s proven resoundingly unshakable since then, despite her considerable efforts to liven it up, including racking up an enviable list of collaborators that, for almost anybody else, would have guaranteed uncountable lifetime cool points: André 3000, Mike Patton, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch, Belle & Sebastian, Herbie Hancock, The Lonely Island — not to mention Wong Kar-Wai. Then again, even

her most emphatic shake-up to date — this year’s Little Broken Hearts (Blue Note), a highly likable, noir-ish, indie-pop platter with gentle trip-hop shadings courtesy of incorrigible style maven Danger Mouse — remains resolutely palatable, even polite; hardly something to affront her coffeehouse core, though it’s hardly pandering, either. But hey, what’s an authentically nice girl to do? —K. Ross Hoffman Thu., June 28, 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$59.50, with Sasha Dobson, Mann Center, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-878-7707, manncenter.org.

women in the audience sit up straight, knowing that if the song is not for them, it’s surely the story of a sister or friend. Her line “I’m all by myself, nobody gonna rescue me,” gets too many tight-lipped nods. Callahan’s writing is as much a part of her draw on the blues circuit as her big voice and agile electric band. “I Got It Bad” (“Got me melting away / I’m like butter in the pan”) prompts more knowing nods in time to the swampy rhythm. The band is compact: two guitars, bass and drums. They tour together frequently, guaranteeing the show is always tight and snappy in its funk. —Mary Armstrong

single, “Oceans”/“Obligated” (hot on the heels of their self-titled, six-song EP), recorded by their drummer boy Will Noon at his Fishtown studio. And Sciarrino, the band’s guitarist, singer and bassist, claims that this will be the last Bedroom Problems show for some time, as they will soon head into the studio for a long recording stint. Get there early, as Betty Iron Thumbs, Attia Taylor and Liz & the Lost Boys open. Then the Problems begin.

“You can either sit back and let shit go downhill or you can rise up, become a leader and start the change you wish to see.” Pretty big words for a 21-yearold college student. But when LeGrand Haughton says it, he means it. His “positive clothing line,” Elephant Squad, which he runs by himself, is proof that this kid stands by his convictions. “In November of 2011, I was sitting in a room with a group of close friends thinking, ‘I’m a college student, I’m broke and I don’t like the way society is headed morally.’” So he wanted to change what he saw, and clothing seemed like the natural starting point. “I believe if I could start with clothing and expand, I could change the way people view themselves and others.” His thinking is that since we all wear clothing, and we all walk the streets and see others wearing clothing, this can be a vehicle to provide a positive message. Haughton is currently selling tees with the company logo — a disgruntled-looking elephant — via elephantsquadclothing@gmail.com and boasts over 3,400 “likes” on the company Facebook page (facebook. com/elephantsquad). Elephant Squad is a clothing line meant to inspire people, specifically at-risk youth. By promoting brotherhood, the company represents an alternative to the gang violence and drug use that Haughton says he sees on the streets and in the media. “Negative influences like that are started, fed and controlled within communities especially in inner cities,” he says. “If there was a positive force telling our young people they could be a success, imagine how much that could change someone for the better.” (julia.west@citypaper.net) Have an upcoming shopping event?

air sex competitions, (clothed) entrants choose a two-minute clip of music (bring your own!), then get up on stage and try to impress the crowd and judges with their prowess and sense of humor by making sweet or salty love with an imaginary partner.

It’s not uncommon for saxophonists to go it alone, but Jonah Parzen-Johnson’s Michiana goes right past solo to downright lonesome. The collection is named for a beach town on the Michigan-Indiana border where Parzen-Johnson spent time as a child, and his unaccompanied playing captures the sentiment of an old Polaroid, long-ago happiness fading into the melancholy of memory. Using an arsenal of extended techniques including multiphonics and circular breathing, Parzen-Johnson yokes virtuosity to emotion through the horn of his gut-

churning baritone. Impossibly held moans quaver and rumble, mournful bellows are echoed by a keening hopefulness. The saxophonist cites the influence of Appalachian folk music and modern torchbearers from Devendra Banhart to Bill Callahan, suggesting the rough-hewn, overcast mood his horn can conjure. —Shaun Brady Sun., July 1, 8 p.m., $7, with Jack Wright/Evan Lipson/Johan Nystrom and Alan Ens, Café Clave, 4305 Locust St., 215-386-3436, riprig.com.

MAKING CHANGE: The roasted pork coca is the latest rendition of a dish that has gotten tweaked on Jamonera’s regularly changing menu. JESSICA KOURKOUNIS

[ review ]

THE REIGN IN SPAIN Jamonera lets traditional plates speak in their native tongue. By David Snyder JAMONERA | 105 S. 13th St., 215-922-6061, jamonerarestaurant.com. Dinner served Sun.-Thu., 5-11:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 5 p.m.–midnight. For the table, $3-$6; tapas, $7-$8; salads and vegetables, $6-$9; cured meats and cheese, $14-$22; toasts and small sandwiches, $7-$9; raciones, $10-$17; desserts, $6-$10.

ecently, while perusing the shelves at the PLCB store on Chestnut near 12th Street, one of the clerks I know approached me, leaned in secretively and quietly asked: “Do you like sherry?” “Of course,” I said. And with that, he revealed a bottle of El Maestro Sierra Amontillado 12-year-old sherry. Unlike the sweet, syrupy flavors typically associated with sherry, this offering was different, carrying the notes of More on: toasted almonds and seawater that characterize Amontillado-style sherry. “If I were you, I’d buy this now,” he said. “Because when the folks at Jamonera find out it’s in, they’ll take it all.” Jamonera is the latest addition to chef Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran’s ever-growing empire, which includes the Mediterranean mecca Barbuzzo. Inspired by culinary tours through Madrid, Barcelona and Andalucia, Turney and Safran decided to rework their underappreciated modern Indian spot, Bindi, into a tapas bar.

citypaper.net

At first glance, swapping a unique Indian restaurant for yet another tapas joint may not seem like progress for Turney and Safran or, for that matter, Philadelphia. But Jamonera possesses a distinct identity that elevates the Philly dining scene. Take Jamonera’s sherry program. “When we were sipping manzanilla and eating seafood in Sanlucar, I thought, ‘No one is doing this in Philly!’” says Turney. “Sherry? Not happening in Philly.” It is now. The list on which that El Maestro Sierra Amontillado appears, engineered by manager Terence Lewis, is staggeringly deep — 44 different sherries spanning 10 styles, from the light, bracing salinity of finos to the unctuous, stewed-figiness of Pedro Ximénez. Without the counsel of Jamonera’s well-informed staff, such depth would be overwhelming. Engage the staff, however, and soon you may gain the confidence to start your own sherry bodega. Turney’s menu stems from her experiences dining and traveling through Spain, and that personal touch shines through. Traditional plates often get a small twist. Eggplant is soaked in water and dusted in rice flour to give the berenjenas MORE FOOD AND (eggplant fries) the crunch that was missed DRINK COVERAGE in Sevilla. Although they added textural AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / contrast, the English-pea and goat-cheese M E A LT I C K E T. croquettes seemed out of place next to seared sea scallops. But a visual upgrade to the pan con tomate — a cluster of small tomatoes still on the vine atop roasted tomatoes on toasted Metropolitan bread — was striking. Turney knows when to let traditional plates speak in their native tongue. The tang of blistered shishito peppers needs nothing more than a dry fino sherry accompaniment. And hand-cut, acorn-fed >>> continued on page 46

moved like honey at his family’s farm just outside Pottstown, as they had for his father and his father’s father before. When Knauer was a man, working as a recipe developer for Gourmet, the lush, meticulously tended family farm was no longer either of those things. Weeds choked the pastures, and with them, Knauer’s childhood memories. One season, he, his sisters, brother-in-law and a cast of down-in-the-country-for-the-weekend New Yorkers (including one named Big Phil, who makes a sick-sounding mac-’n’-cheese) resurrected the clan’s land. This forms the central conflict of The Farm: Rustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Food (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, April 17), a cookbook that’s noteworthy because it has a conflict and a real story. The passages in between the seasonally driven recipes bounce from heartfelt to comedic to educational without sappiness, an easy pitfall where dead grandparents are concerned. Knauer’s prose drips with imagery. You can hear the hungry flames during a pig roast. You can feel the summer sun (“like baseboard heat”) on your back while Knauer mows the grass, and get sympathetic shrinkage when he leaps into the icy pond for relief. Knauer’s recipes are good, but his writing is better. About those recipes: They begin green and sprightly, featuring springtime produce (spaghetti with arugula carbonara, creamed spring onions with bacon), ripen with summer’s stone fruits (peach cobbler, sorrel-buttermilk panna cotta), and put on weight for cooler months (chipotlevenison chili, pumpkin cake). I cooked from The Farm during the transition from spring into summer, so I took a recipe from each section. My backyard oregano was thriving, making its way into a radish slaw that was a crunchy, herbaceous complement to Knauer’s grilled pork tenderloin rubbed with cilantro, cumin and lime. Most of the recipes are entry-level, but The Farm teaches subtly, weaving tips and tricks into familiar formulas. I’ve been making ice cream for years, but I’ve never thought to use sour cream in the base the way Knauer suggests in his strawberry-sourcream ice cream. I spun up a batch; the texture was a dream. More than the recipes, this book is about Knauer’s connection to his family’s farm, not about getting back to the land for the sake of the planet or his conscience. It celebrates food and family, which just so happen to converge on a few hundred fertile acres in rural Pennsylvania. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

[ i love you, i hate you ] 57 BUS ON 6/16 To the poor young woman on the 57 northbound on Sat. June 16 around midnight: your two friends were black-out drunk and vomiting on themselves. You were calling people asking them to come pick you all up somewhere but weren’t having much luck. I got off at Fairmount, but I should’ve helped you get in a cab. I hope you all made it home safely. (And kudos to you for not getting totally shitfaced!)

DAZZLE FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOU LITTLE BARTENDER BUDDY WHO IS PLAYING YOU. Sadly she isn’t the complete cause of your scum bag, white trash, low life, mean and completely NARCISSISTIC ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR. Don’t hate me because I am cooler than you. I always said on paper you look like a catch. But it’s a total front. Your mommy left you your duplex. Your mommy left $$ and your sister power of attorney cause you can’t handle any type of responibily. Grow the fuck up. You’re a middleaged, out-of-shape, broke, broken, sickly, man. Old School Graffitti has been. Tagging your DAZZLE scribble every where. Dude you’re almost 50. Believe this I FUCKING HATE YOU. I read your childish and selfish txts this morning & realized my friend and my lover no longer exist. You have gone above and beyond in the past year with some real scum-bag moves. I held on to the memories of the man I became BFF’S with then eventually lovers. Now I look at you and see STUPID. Good fucking luck with all your new friends and all those winners you ran with in the past. You completely deserve what KARMA has planned for you. But Karma ain’t paying me back... you fucking are. I am a single mom, who works 3 part-time jobs, and you borrow $200 from me (next day payback) so we can go to a concert in N.J. that you fucking left me and Ginger at. Because you are a selfish low- life jerkoff. The best was the giant message spray painted on the parking lot. MY NAME and “It’s over”. Go fuck yourself.(got LEVITRA) I can promise you this. You can’t afford the interest on that move & your ignorance. You will pay me back. Trust me wen I say that. No court... No Violence... No Threats. Hellooooo asshole it’s me.. Are you that fucking wacked and high that you believe you have it like that. NO 1 FUCKING HAS IT LIKE THAT.. I gave you more than enough passes. ,You’re a disrepectful spoiled, impotent LITTLE DICKED JERKOFF.. I swear its as if we are strangers. 4 years of BFF’S & 2 as lovers. The 1 thing you needed to complete your life. And you completely destroyed it. GONE GONE GONE. I don’t even feel sorry for you any more. You’re sickening. HINT HINT: You may feel better about yourself if you accepted how low you have stooped. I deserve Better. I am Better, I will always be better and have Better. Cause I earn it. not steal from Mothers and little children. So save your vile insults that freely flow from your FUCKING LOW-LIFE MOUTH. I am completely secure in myself. and the reality of how my life will thrive the minute your DARK NEGATIVE ENERGY moves on to destroy your next BFF/victim. Michael, you will die a lonely, bitter, broke, sad, mean man. I doubt you will even be old. I’m a good girl. Loyal, Honest, Big Big Fun.. Responsible, & in no way Spiteful or Manipulating, & you treated me like I had an A burned into my chest. Man up asshole. Grow the fuck up. Throw yourself in front of a train and end all your vile energy. You are gone. You are never coming back. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!

DEAR PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING TO SMOKERS. Knock it the fuck off. Yeah, we know it’s going to kill us. Yeah, we know your aunt or uncle or labrador died of Lung Cancer and it wasn’t a good time for you. Yeah, we are well aware that we should probably quit. But you know what; smoking is the number 2 health problem in America. Obesity is number one. So if you really really wanna save the day Clark Kent... Maybe you should say something to the fatty with a hot dog. “Hey guy, you know that’ll kill you”, or perhaps to the woman eating fried chicken on the subway, “Would you

to my hometown. Please respond and let me know you miss me too.Looking forward to streaking through the park on a warm summer night...and maybe,just maybe, I’ll finally get that kiss?-Dirty Diana

FUCK STARBUCKS! You hipster fucks have now had a hostile takeover of every Starbucks in this city. When a shmuck like me comes in, you all look up from your laptops where you’re working on your indie screenplay and assume I’m there to take out the trash or tell me I can’t pay w/ food stamps! then when I order

like a puddle of cool water in a desert just waiting to be licked up. I stood in front of the bubble machine suggestively popping the suds, getting hot and sticky, but you were jamming too hard on Eiffel 65 to even notice me. When that didn’t work I finally exhaled to let my roles loose from sucking in, turned around, fished out my intentional camel toe, tripped and took a nose dive onto my beach chair. Oh yes, of course you noticed that. I had to redeem myself. Oh faux hawk, oh muscle shirt, oh blue-eyed guido lover—- I wanted you. I’ve never reapplied my sunscreen so suggestively in my whole life. Any sign of a glance from you anywhere close to my direction was met with a calculated flip of my hair and a compulsive lubing of my chest in the hopes of you noticing my oily, luscious, lusting tatties. Instead I wound up pruned and pimpled, scurrying out before you ever saw my sorry, cellulite ass. -Swim Fan

LOVE LETTERS #7 Dear Beeker, I just want to simply say that I love you. I know it’s difficult and sometimes the water isn’t clear, it looks further than even full fathom five…but even then my eyes are on you. You are my ballast, my lighthouse and my shoal of safety. I love you, Animal Dear Animal, Mimimimimi mi mi....miiiiiii. You, even from a long, yes seemingly at times endless distance, feel like my ‘corresponding other’ (highly intellectual Beeker term) in so many dimensions. You meet me, you soothe me, you melt me, we are hilarious together, we are full of feeling (‘Feelings’) for each other. We can get down, dirty and creative in a second and just flow...what’s not to love about that??!! More than our active imaginations could conceive! ‘Dance with me. I want to be your partner, can’t you see? The music is just starting? Night is falling, and I am calling, Dance with me.’ I love you, Beeker

MY FLAMINGO MCGULLICUTTY — WITH LOVE, LENA MASTERS

mind doing that somewhere else, I’ve got asthma and I’m very sensitive to the smell”. How about walking up to the guy with a cheeseburger and telling him how much money he would save every year if he were eating an apple instead? Yeah? So next time you feel the need to educate a smoker on why they’re throwing their life away, just find yourself a fatty and talk to them instead. Cheers, Your friendly neighborhood chimney.

a black coffee it’s like I’m asking you people to turn water to wine, you fucks panic when someone orders a black coffee! its offensive, its b/c I don’t dress and talk like you I’m not welcome or deserve to be there. maybe I should just pick my coffee up outback by the dumpster in a trough. FUCK STARBUCKS AND EVERYONE WHO DRINKS THERE! you’re assholes for paying $7 for a cup of coffee anyway.

DESPERATELY SEEKING MAGGIE

GLISTENING MC SUN GOD OF THE SWIM CLUB

My sweet,sweet Maggie...it’s been 5 long years since we last spoke. I’m in Philly for a few months and hoping we can once again raise our whiskeyfilled glasses to the night sky.Your sad brown eyes and drunken whiskey smile have lured me back

You were Dj’ing the pool party last week and you steamed up my summer and got me so hot my bikini bottoms were soggy before I even took a dip. While you fist pumped along to your sex grooves your guns bulged and glistened in the sunshine

You stole my heart. I don’t know if it was our long, drunken walks down Old City in 6-inch heels, or our standing Saturday afternoon dates at Panera Bread. Maybe it was the concern for our immigrant friends roaming the beach drunk at 3 a.m. in Wildwood. Maybe it was our mutual love of tea or the way you repeatedly talk me off the ledge in the Nordstrom dressing rooms. Perhaps it is the way you get along with my mother and her chicken cutlets or the way we use our hand signals and safe words to escape creepers at Adelphia a.k.a. The Wrinkle Ranch. It could the way we mutually do not judge one another— me, when I play video games and collect things of a macabre nature, and you, when you participate it coitus with old(er), fertile bartenders in the basement. All I know is that you have commandeered my heart and my feelings and I wish for nothing more that to hog tie you (again) on my living room sofa. With all my heart, adoration, and BDSM toys... I love you. ✚ To place your FREE ad (100-word limit), go to citypaper.net and click on the LOVE/HATE tab near the top of the page. ADS ALSO APPEAR AT CITYPAPER.NET/lovehate.
