CP’s Quality-o-Life-o-Meter

[ -5 ]

A Port Richmond teen says her geometry teacher at Charles Carroll High School mocked her for wearing a Mitt Romney campaign shirt, comparing it to wearing a KKK shirt. “I don’t know what chapter you belong to,” says girl, “but we usually wear robes and hoods to the rallies.”

[ -1 ]

Pennsylvania House candidate Dave Kralle lambasts Carroll High and posts a protest flier on his site that says, “We have been told there isn’t a single American flag at the school and the Pledge is NEVER recited.” Whew. We were worried only the liberal side would end up looking like ignorant, knee-jerking shitheads in this whole mess.

Commissioner Ramsey says Lt. Jonathan Josey will be fired for punching a woman, Aida Guzman, at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. That’s what happens when you assault somebody. You lose your job.

[ -2 ]

The Fraternal Order of Police says the decision to fire Josey “sends a bad message.” Bell Curve has determined that the message is “don’t punch people in the face,” and it’s a pretty good one.

Mayor Nutter apologizes to Aida Guzman.

“I can’t see anything because my eyes are swollen shut,” she says, “but I’d like to thank Kermit the Frog for his concern.”

Latrice Bryant, aide to Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr., posts on Facebook that she was on a toilet at a Germantown nightclub when a woman burst into her stall and attacked her. Bryant later admits the whole thing was a euphemism for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

[ -2 ]

Bryant brags about fighting the woman off, saying, “I pounded her face with my fist … booka … booka … booka.” Another euphemism, sadly. IBS affects some 25 to 45 million people nationwide.

[ +1 ]

Mayor Nutter criticizes Mitt Romney for lying in the first presidential debate. “I can’t see anything because my Klan hood doesn’t fit right,” says Romney, “but Kermie can go fuck himself. I’m definitely shutting down PBS now.”

ENEMIES OF THE SKATE A brief history of skateboarders’ skirmishes with City Hall. By Isaiah Thompson

L

ast Thursday, the hallowed chamber of Philadelphia’s City Council was visited by an unusual demographic: skateboarders. They were there to present testimony against new regulations, proposed by At-Large Councilman David Oh, that would have expanded anti-skateboarding rules to include “any publicly accessible outdoor artwork or memorial,” and would have increased the fines for such activity from $300 to $2,000 and “imprisonment for up to 90 days.”

The opponents drew a series of approving roars from the audience as, one after another, they attacked Oh’s regulations for being unnecessary, vague and unfairly punitive. After various sympathetic remarks from several other Council members, the bill was held and the day — if not the war — was won by the skateboarders.

It isn’t every day that an outpouring of public testimony stops a bill in its tracks, but the history of attempts by city officials to regulate skateboarding — and of efforts by skateboarders to resist those regulations — is a long (if not always glorious) one. Let’s review.

August 1996: A year after a skateboarding park opens in FDR Park, city controller Jonathan Saidel publishes a scathing “audit” of illegal — but largely ignored — skateboarding in Love Park.

He suggests police confiscate boards when they issue tickets.

June 2000: Councilman Michael Nutter proposes a bill that would ban skateboarding on all public property and allow the seizure of skateboards from violators. He gets support from a Council committee — but not from Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, who says Love Park “is a microcosm of who we are.” In response, skaters organize as the Skater’s Defense Lobby (it will have various names over the years), led by skater and law student Joshua Nims, who calls Nutter’s bill “using legislation as a baseball bat to kill a fly.”

September 2000: Nutter’s bill, delayed amid controversy,

finally passes 14-3, with Blackwell still opposed and joined by Council members Rick Mariano and David Cohen. But a series of profound ironies follows: That September sees the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, in which Love Park is a playable level. In December, newspapers report that ESPN’s X Games will come to Philly — but that its sponsors are upset that the games won’t be taking place in Love Park.

“A microcosm of who we are.”

April 2002: Skaters and the John Street administration go head to head when the mayor cracks down on skateboarding and introduces a nearly $1 million renovation plan for Love Park to make it less attractive to skaters. A Street spokesman says the administration will find skaters a new site, possibly on the Schuylkill behind the Art Museum. But in May the Fairmount Park Commission quickly nixes the idea, offering nothing in its place. >>> continued on page 8

[ a million stories ]

✚ VISUAL AID It’s opening night of the exhibition, and artist Rayne Parker-Jones is posing for photos in front of her work, a semi-abstract battle of darkness against light. At 16, she’s seen a way too much of the dark stuff: Her parents were both killed before she was 14, and she herself was shot in the leg while walking home from a park. But with a grin, the West Oak Lane resident and aspiring nurse says she can envision a day when it’s all sunshine.

The exhibition in question is the Anti-Violence Partnership’s first-ever show of art therapy by children and teens, all victims of the surging violence that Philly, despite a variety of lawenforcement efforts, can’t seem to curb.

Deb Spungen, who founded the partnership in 1980, two years after her daughter was murdered, says that — unfortunately, and for the first time ever — the partnership now has a several-months-long waiting list for children’s therapy. Its major source of funding, a Victims of Crime Act grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, was cut by 20 percent this year with little advance notice, meaning the partnership has had to operate leaner than ever.

As a result, the therapists are now mostly part-time, says executive director Julie Rausch. But that’s a good thing, actually, since “this is an area that’s susceptible to vicarious traumatization.” One therapist had to quit after suffering chronic nightmares.

The partnership keeps staffers at the Medical Examiner’s office, where family members go to identify bodies; at the District Attorney’s office; and at the Criminal Justice Center, where they try to be there for families at preliminary hearings in every

murder case in the city — a tall order this year.

With the exhibition — running through Oct. 18 at Art Sanctuary (628 S. 16th St., artsanctuary.org) — they’re hoping to boost awareness. Art therapy isn’t the only means they use, says therapist Rebecca Selvin, but it’s helpful, especially for kids.

“Trauma is stored on the right side of your brain,” she says.

That’s also where pictures and emotions reside; words keep to the left. “Particularly for children who don’t have the means to create words, creating art gives them access to heal through the right side.”

The works, some hopeful and others heartbreaking, were created especially for the exhibit. Though board member Anthony Johnson considers the exhibition a success, he’s not sure it will be an annual thing. “It’s fun for the kids to create the art, but it can be really traumatic. So I’m not sure how often we can ask them to do that.”

✚ A GHOST OF A CHANCE On June 30, after five years of changing the lives of hundreds of fathers trying to make their way after getting out of prison, the freshly de-funded Pennsylvania Prison Society’s Philly ReNew parenting and job-readiness program shut its doors. Then, a funny thing happened: For a little while, at least, despite the lack of a money lifeline, it kept on working.

Behind the program’s zombie effectiveness: a man named LaMonte Williams, who was hired by the Prison Society just two weeks before the program disappeared. He stayed on as a volunteer, doing his damnedest to make sure every one of the men left hanging after the program was eliminated from the state >>> continued on page 10

Philadelphia, 2012 ALAN BARR

BEING JUDGED ³ PENNSYLVANIANS LIKE GOV. Tom Corbett

less with each passing opinion poll, but they won’t get a chance to vote him out of office until 2014. Right now, however, state courts are causing Republicans — who also control the state House and Senate — serial headaches. Most recently, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson issued an injunction blocking the state’s voter-ID law from going into effect for the upcoming presidential election.

Simpson initially gave voter ID his blessing, but a split state Supreme Court ordered him to take another look to ensure the law would cause no voter disenfranchisement. The high court was somewhat split along party lines — but that’s not to say any of the justices wanted to let the law stand.The split was between a majority that basically forced Simpson to stay the law and two dissenting liberals who wanted the court to issue the injunction right there.

The same goes for the state’s Marcellus Shale law, which prohibits localities from regulating natural-gas drilling within their borders. In July, a Commonwealth Court panel ruled 4-3 that the provisions overriding “local zoning and environmental laws” were unconstitutional. Corbett appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.

The same is happening with state legislative redistricting, the every-10-years process by which district boundaries are redrawn using new census numbers. It is always a nakedly political process, with parties warping districts to maximize their potential electoral success. But in January, the state Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that the Republican-drawn plan unconstitutionally chopped up towns and counties. In September, the redistricting commission gave the Court a new map. That case is pending.

“I think you are seeing the results of Republican overreach,” says Muhlenberg College political science professor Christopher Borick. “In almost all of the areas that the court has been asked to weigh in on, the GOP has taken some fairly extreme policy positions that even Republican-leaning courts may see as going too far.”

The courts have yet another chance to block extremism: Corbett has also eliminated $205-amonth General Assistance cash welfare for the most disadvantaged Pennsylvanians, including disabled people. Three poor and disabled people are challenging that law, which also restricts other safety-net programs, saying it was passed in a way that violates the state constitution. Voters may have elected Republicans to control Harrisburg, but they didn’t give them license to violate the law. ✚ Send feedback to daniel.denvir@citypaper.net.

May 2003: Longstanding skater

opposition to city regulations gains new momentum when the issue gets caught in the gravitational pull of a mayoral election. Republican mayoral nominee Sam Katz declares his intention to lift the ban on skating in Love Park — which, it turns out, $1 million in renovations later, still has enticing steps and ledges. “If we can’t keep young people here, there won’t be a tax base,” Katz proclaims alongside none other than 95-year-old former city planner Ed Bacon, who, amazingly, declares that Philadelphia “will never live down the inhumanity” of kicking the skaters out.

July 2003: Momentum for the skaters’

return to Love Park builds when Council members Rick Mariano, Blondell Reynolds Brown, Marian Tasco and Frank Rizzo commend efforts by the newly named Skater’s Advocacy Network to come up with a plan for Love Park. City officials balk. In August, Mayor Street announces plans (again) for a skate park along the Schuylkill.

March 2004: The city implants metal “cleats” on Dilworth Plaza railings and benches to prevent skateboarding.

May 2004: A California sneaker company offers $1 million to the city if it ends the ban on skating in Love Park. Street administration officials decline. One year later, plans for a new skatepark on the Schuylkill, eventually named Paine’s Park, are unveiled. The estimated cost is $2 million. It will grow to more than $4 million.

October 2012: More than a decade

since skaters were kicked out of Love Park, the mythical Paine’s Park lives — mainly on franklinspaine.com, where supporters are encouraged to donate to the Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund, volunteer and support a proposed skate park on the Schuylkill designed by Brian Nugent and Anthony Bracali. At long last, earlier this month, the Fund and Schuylkill Banks announced a groundbreaking ceremony for Paine’s Park on Oct. 12. “We are very excited,” the press release said, “to announce that the long wait ... is almost over!” (isaiah.thompson@citypaper.net)

budget got a job placement and the support he needed. Working his connections, Williams helped 17 men land 18 jobs — 10 full time, and eight part time — in warehouses, restaurants, retail stores and factories.

But last month, the inevitable happened: Williams landed a new job himself — which means even the ghost of Philly ReNew is now, pending the deus ex machina of a new funding, laid to rest.

“It’s going to be challenging for them being that I’m not here,” Williams admits. “The reason why they were able to get jobs so quickly is because I found out what their skills are, and then I matched them with employers. That makes the process a lot easier.”

One person who benefited was Isean McNeil, 36, who until last year never had a job in his life.

Today, he says, everything has changed.

“I was really tired of the whole prison situation,” McNeil explains. So he got focused, and with help from Philly ReNew, got a job at Boston Market. He also works part time with Shalom Inc., counseling kids at Philly’s Juvenile Treatment Court. He’s beginning to think big: an associate’s degree and then a master’s in social work.

Same with Ikeem McFadden of Kensington, who has a 1-year-old daughter and a mom with multiple sclerosis to support. The Prison Society helped him get motivated, build his confidence: “I got a chance to be a person involved in society instead of being looked at as a criminal.” He’s become more strategic about his career, too.

He now looks at his gig at Dunkin’ Donuts as his “bridge job. Now that I’m working, I feel pretty —S.M. good about me getting another job.”

✚ A GREAT WTINESS FOR LIFE A crowd of more than 100 recently crammed the second-floor ballroom of the William Way LGBT Community Center to celebrate the life of John Bell, a longtime leader of the rowdy AIDS activist group ACT UP and an employee of the AIDS service organization Philadelphia FIGHT. “It’s not too many built like that, straight up,” says 55-year-old Samuel Morales, a student in the first session of TEACH Outside, a FIGHT program Bell co-founded to help HIV-positive ex-offenders navigate the outside and stay healthy. Morales now teaches the Spanishlanguage version of the TEACH course.

HIV-positive people walking out the prison gates often had Bell’s cell phone number in their hands. And that phone, friends say, was never off.

“I would not be alive today had it not been for John Bell,” says AIDS activist Waheedah Shabazz-El. “I am a person of faith and I do believe that God works through people. And in June of 2003, God came to me in the person of John Bell. And I knew it had to be God, because it takes God to save lives, and that’s what John did. And I said that he saved my life

because of where he found me.

Because I was in a prison.”

Bell introduced Shabazz-El to FIGHT and ACT UP. “This man showed up. He was an official visitor. I thought he was my lawyer,” she said, prompting laughs. “Until he started talking about AIDS. And then he told me that he had came in to tell me that I wasn’t going to die because he had been living with AIDS for 20 years.”

Former Philadelphia Prison Commissioner Leon King credits Bell and other ACT UP members for pushing him to bring condoms and rapid HIV testing to inmates. King recalls Bell insisting that he take a photograph with him — in uniform. King asked why.

“He said, ‘Well, it’s very important that the inmates see the commissioner touching an exoffender who has HIV, so they

“It’s not too many who are built like that, straight up.” all know it’s OK.’ That blew me away.”

Bell worked for Amtrak in Washington, D.C., after fighting in Vietnam. Hooked on heroin, he contracted HIV. He made his way to Philly, where he got clean and met his partner, Gloria Prusakowski.

Rev. Dr. Ernest McNear of the True Gospel Tabernacle, a Pentecostal church in South Philadelphia, calls Bell “a great witness for life.” McNear, a former heroin addict and prisoner, is, just like Bell was, not only a teacher but a true living example.

John Bell, a prominent member of one of Philadelphia’s most hell-raising movements, died at age 64. In a community that once witnessed too many premature funerals, there are far fewer today

because of people like him.

³ IT HAD TO come sooner or later; even the largest of bookstores die away like orchids after a funeral. But seeing the sociocultural center of old lit Philly — Robin’s Books on 13th Street — get its death warrant was a swift kick in the city’s collective cerebellum (shopping will go on until December at incrementally reduced rates).

Along with its Moonstone Arts Center, Robin’s was the one place to stop and think on a constantly buzzing Midtown block. But who the hell is bothering to think anymore, right? I’ll always remember Larry Robin’s shop as the place I saw Maya Angelou read (several times) and bought French film magazines with their covers cut and every City Lights volume there ever was. ³ Used to be, every time I drove by 22nd and Catharine, I’d see the butcher-block paper that covered the corner’s shop windows had yellowed a bit more, and I’d worry that second Ultimo Coffee would never open. Surprise. The tall coffee shop opened on Monday and will house Counter Intelligence upstairs, a learning center for caffeinated seminars and labs. ³ If you make it down to the Diamond State to see Calexico’s Free At Noon WXPN show at World Café Live’sWilmington outpost, say hello to the venue’s new marketing coordinator. That’s Brittany Noonan, a lass indie-Delawarians know from WSTW-FM. ³ The rumors are true about another Philly-filmed collaboration between director David O. Russell and actor Bradley Cooper (who’ve already teamed up for Silver Linings Playbook, due out in November). The Hollywood Reporter confirms what Cooper said during the August premiere screening of The Words at The Prince: “We’ll be back filming in Philly before spring 2013.” Coop was talking about the D.O.R. flick once-titled American Bullshit that is now due to start filming in Philly in February 2013 with co-stars Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams and the Batman, Christian Bale. ³ It’s Thursday morning and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire wants you. There’s a casting call, noon-7 p.m., Oct. 11, at the Convention Center. Be 18+.

Give me a cut if you got your audition notice here. ³ With the passing of lyricist Hal David, I’ve broken down a bit and have been reminiscing about the classic AM pop songs he made with Burt Bacharach and some of the acts that made them dynamic. Like The 5th Dimension, who, along with recording hits with Jimmy Webb (like “Up, Up and Away”), made a smash of the Bacharach/David track “One Less Bell to Answer.” Lead singer Florence LaRue and the rest of T5D play the Sellersville Theater Oct. 14. ³ Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head at citypaper. net/criticalmass.

JESSE’S (A) GIRL: Melanie Julian as the eponymous outlaw in EgoPo’s all-female production of The Assassination of Jesse James.

JENNA KUERZI

[ theater reviews ]

UNSAVORY CHARACTERS Bandits, terrorists, assassins and retail managers storm Philly stages. ³ THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES The ensemble-created The Assassination of Jesse James, directed by Brenna Geffers, explores the myth and matter of the famous bank robber (1847-1882) in a broadly theatrical style with a twist: James, his gang and his pursuers are all played by women (costumed with veracity by Natalia de la Torre), adding another interpretive layer to the tale of America’s first celebrity outlaw.

Melanie Julian makes James a brooding loner, both inspired and repulsed by his hero “Bloody Bill” Anderson, whose executions of Union prisoners James witnessed as a teenager serving in his Confederate guerilla force. Amanda Schoonover plays James’ wife Zee, and also an infiltrator scheming to capture the famous killer.

Kate Brennan’s Charlie Ford is torn between loyalty to James and obligation to her callow brother Robert, played by Colleen Hughes, and Maria Konstantinidis serves admirably in multiple roles and leads the show’s singing. All are detailed, genuine portrayals, all the more impressive for the skill with which the actors transform into a rich variety of supporting characters.

Geffers’ fascinating production maintains a documentary feel.

The ensemble often steps out of character to quote direct sources, establishing how James’ exploits were immediately fictionalized

(his Robin Hood reputation was pure invention) via the propaganda war he waged to justify his bloody crimes. This production tries to cut away the legend. The gang’s pangs of conscience, the bleakness of life on the run and an unromantic portrayal of violence counter the allure of the grinning, boyish outlaw that’s James’ legacy. When James says, “I don’t know how to be a-feared,” it’s not with the jaw-clenched, squinting certainty of a typical male action hero; in Julian’s complex portrayal, it’s a realization of limitations.

It’s oversimplifying to credit femininity for this humanizing approach, but our awareness of girls pretending to be boys who want to be men highlights the play’s anti-myth insights. Jesse James offers an entertaining glimpse of late-19th-century culture and its relevance to modern issues of celebrity and “reality.” The play’s dark epilogue explaining the survivors’ fates shows that no one associated with James could maintain, let alone profit from, his mythical status for long. Through Oct. 28, $25-$50, Plays & Players Theater, 1714 Delancey Pl., 267-273-1414, egopo.org.

A contrast to boyish outlaw allure.

There aren’t many septuagenarians telling off fast-talking “boys” with “come-hither stares” or warning women that she’ll steal their men in her smooth-riding Cadillac. Thank goodness no one told Wanda Jackson.The once and future rockabilly queen — who’ll be 75 next week — reaffirms her crown on Unfinished Business (Sugar Hill), a ripping set of rock ’n’ roll chestnuts, classy country stylings and a heartfelt touch of gospel. Jackson plays Sellersville Theater Tuesday and World Café Live in Wilmington next Thursday.

San Francisco’s Ty Segall is on fire with Twins (Drag City), his third album of 2012. The guitar action’s razor-sharp on the pinhead anthem “You’re the Doctor” and the Stooges-groove of “Love Fuzz,” both showing his consistently sticky hooks sticking even stickier. If Segall starts a rock ’n’ roll cult — which he kinda does on the psychedelically operatic “The Hill” — I’m hopping the next bus to Fog City.

THE PAPERBOY

Combines backwater film noir and artsy sexploitation.

NOT BASED ON THE NOVEL BY SAPPHIRE: Lee Daniels follows up Precious with Nicole Kidman giving an air-blowjob.

Music Makers was a bold experiment. ³ EVERY MUSICAL GENRE has a community.

The most visible segment consists of the players, followed by the fans. But then there are the instrument makers and purveyors, the publicists, the folks who sell the tickets, the venues and their staffs and last, and probably least, the critics. Last week, the classical-music world in Philadelphia lost someone who managed to play a number of these roles at different stages of her career, and some of them simultaneously.

I first met Jane Lenel when she was one of the main sources for string-instrument rentals for Philadelphia school students, when my then-8year-old son needed a fiddle. A few years later, I noticed a curious publication in the magazine rack at Tower Records called Philadelphia Music Makers, edited by none other than Jane, and our paths crossed again. In short order, I became one of her scribes, and then an editor myself.

Music Makers was a wonderful source of stories about a wide swath of musical Philadelphia.

Through her urging and imagination, I met and wrote about not only amazing young classical musicians such as then-Curtis student Yuja Wang, now a worldwide sensation, or her famous teacher, Gary Graffman, but also such characters as a man who built a wooden pipe organ by hand in his Germantown apartment (John Kaye Gottschall) and a walking, playing bagpipe encyclopedia by the name of Charlie Rutan.

As anyone struggling with print journalism these days knows all too well, putting out a magazine is increasingly difficult. Music Makers struggled even from the start, so Jane started sponsoring benefit concerts, and soon enough, we were in the live music business. Her connections led to exceptional events that were reasonably well attended, intimate chamber-music concerts in the truest sense. But it was not enough, and Jane’s bold experiment ended in 2009, almost a decade after it began.

This was but a chapter in a rich life. Jane was also a writer and a fine violinist. For those who knew her, it seems almost superfluous to add that she was a vibrant, generous, smart and warm-spirited human being. Her life was a model of how one person can engage the world of art in an all-encompassing way, and although her friends will miss her greatly, she remains an inspiration on so many fronts. (p_burwasser@citypaper.net)

A combination of backwater film noir and artsy sexploitation, the Philly native’s third feature — and followup to 2009 Best Picture nominee Precious — is certainly engrossing. That’s a good way to describe Nicole Kidman urinating on Zac Efron, right? And that is hardly The Paperboy’s strangest or most grotesque scene. And therein lies the problem. At some point — perhaps it’s when Kidman brings a bedraggled, handcuffed John Cusack to orgasm by pretending to fellate him from across the room (don’t worry, she gets off, too) — it sinks in that Lee has tossed coherent storytelling aside in favor of shock value and aestheticized trashiness. The result is a film that’s somehow both overworked and underdone, with a plot best described as a hot mess. Emphasis on the heat. It’s the sweaty, sticky summer of 1969 in a Florida swamp town, and Lee uses sultry hues to create an atmosphere ripe with tension, magnifying the lust and racial rifts that motivate his characters. It’s an ideal visual backdrop for the mystery thriller supposedly at the movie’s heart. Big-time journalist Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) returns to his hometown to investigate the murder of the town’s sheriff. Needing an errand boy, Ward enlists little brother Jack (Efron), a listless college dropout living at home.

Rounding out the crew is trashy, oversexed Charlotte (Kidman), who hopes the group can help free her accused-murderer fiance (Cusack). The story is meaty, and the actors do their best to summon some gravitas, but Daniels is far too eager to drop the plot to shoehorn in one more shocking sex act or shot of Efron running around in his tighty-whities. —Michael Gold

✚ Unsavory Characters <<< continued from page 24

forces us to consider how the story of estranged brother and sister, Athol (Brian McCann) and Morna (Emma Gibson), relates to larger issues in director Tom Reing’s production with Inis Nua. The personal tale is satisfying enough, really. Gibson and McCann are fascinating as the middle-aged sibs (with convincingly thick Glaswegian accents) making moves toward reconnecting after 14 years. The catalyst is Morna’s son, who makes a clumsy attempt to bring his mother and uncle together on his 21st birthday, and as the reunion approaches, the monologues begin to merge as the suspense mounts. Harrower, introduced to local audiences through Theatre Exile’s gripping productions of his equally challenging Blackbird and Knives in Hens, unspools their intersecting tales in a series of alternating monologues over a sleek 75 minutes.

If you’re wondering where the planes come in, this is all tied to the failed terrorist attack on the Glasgow Airport on June 30, 2007, when two men drove a Jeep packed with explosives through the doors. (In Harrower’s world, the would-be terrorists lived in Athol’s neighborhood.) Actual TV news reports from the attack, projected on the back screen, occasionally punctuate scenes. What’s disturbing about them is how undisturbing they are; more than a decade after 9/11, we’re far too accustomed to how TV news portrays violence and its aftermath.

The global issues resulting in the terrorist attack don’t dovetail exactly with the family split, but that makes its own point: Life, unlike most fiction, doesn’t make obvious connections between interpersonal and international situations. But juxtaposing them forces us to mull the parallels. Through Oct. 21, $20-$25, Off-Broad Street Theater, 1636 Sansom St., 215-454-9776, inisnuatheatre.org.

³ RFK The past 30 years have seen a fall in Kennedy stock. The family that once represented heroism and sacrifice tends to be portrayed now as a collection of power- and sex-hungry vulgarians — from Camelot to “came a lot,” as it were. So it’s heartening to see a positive spin in Jack Holmes’ small-scale, touching one-man play RFK. It’s possible that people under 50 won’t instantly know that RFK is JFK’s younger brother, Robert Francis Kennedy. A quick bio: As his brother’s attorney general, RFK famously cracked down on organized crime and enforced civil rights. After John Kennedy’s death, he won a seat in the Senate and became a presidential front-runner himself in 1968, but was assassinated the night he won the California primary.

Historical monodramas are, for me, a tough sell. Almost always, they oversimplify and overpraise. And what is an actor to do when playing someone who is instantly recognizable?

RFK mostly avoids these potential pitfalls. Russ Widdall’s no ringer for Robert Kennedy, but he’s a fine actor who clearly connects with the character. He’s mastered the accent and vocal mannerisms, and looks just enough like Kennedy that it’s not jarring to see him next to actual newsreel footage (one of the many forms of period media employed in a sort of recurring collage by director Ginger Dayle — ideally, this conceit would be more seamlessly executed, but somehow the almost-homemade quality emphasizes the humanity behind the whole enterprise).

Robert Kennedy was a controversial figure, dogged by allegations of high-handed manipulation. But the person we see here is an enormously likeable, deeply principled man who continually worked to prove himself worthy of his family name. (A trope in RFK is that the Kennedys overlooked and underestimated this middle child.) It’s fair to say the show is pretty much a love letter to its subject, but what makes it work is that it’s at least as much about the political turmoil he lived through — and fought to change — as it is about the man himself.

Vietnam and civil rights are front and center, as they should be.

RFK will be self-recommending to many people, but I hope some younger audiences get there, too. The show — and RFK

³ A BRIGHT NEW BOISE We know right away that the title of Samuel D. Hunter’s 2011 Obie Award-winning play A Bright New Boise is ironic — the play is set in a bleakly recognizable box-store employee break room, where beleaguered Hobby Lobby manager Pauline (Catherine Palfenier) interviews shy, older Will (Kevin Bergen) for a minimumwage retail job. It’s 38 hours a week (which is part-time, two hours shy of full-time and benefits). Yes, in director Jill Harrison’s terrific production, we’re in a uniquely American hell.

The audience — sitting on opposite sides of Ian Guzzone’s wonderfully terrible little room, fluorescent-lit by David Todaro — soon sees that Hunter has plans beyond depicting minimum-wage misery. When Will’s small talk with surly teen coworker Alex (Aubie Merrylees) falters, he blurts out that he is Alex’s father. “You’d better not need a kidney,” the kid sneers.

Will arrives penniless, but with baggage: He’s a survivor of the New Life Fellowship, which preached end times until scandal destroyed them. Will still believes, writing Rapture fiction on his blog. Alex’s adoptive brother Leroy (Robert Carlton) tries to drive Will away — “This is me deliberately making you uncomfortable,” he glowers — while shy reader Anna (Jessica DalCanton) finds Will’s hobby alluring. All seek something to believe in: Leroy trusts his feeble art, Anna wants a man, Pauline’s god is a profitable store, Alex needs family.

Father and son make lurching progress as Will, in Bergen’s masterfully understated performance, struggles to maintain his battered religious identity despite his new world’s temptations — particularly the heartbreakingly lonely Anna. “One day, none of this will matter,” Will insists, but he begins to hope for more.

Hunter’s ending surprises with its suddenness — it shocked me, I think, because I was so invested in the characters and not ready to let them go — but an incisive script and the cast’s fine performances help us realize that providing no easy answers is sometimes the right answer. Through Oct. 21, $10-$22, Walnut Street Theatre, Independence Studio on 3, 825 Walnut St., 215-423-0254, simpatico—Mark Cofta theatre.org.

Orchards School for Troubled Teens, the setting of Dan Josefson’s That’s Not a Feeling (Oct. 2, Soho), has in common with The Bradley School of Bronwen Hruska’s Accelerated (Oct. 2, Pegasus), where every pupil reads well past grade level. The rural isolation of Roaring Orchards seems worlds away from Bradley’s Upper East Side; the defeated, largely absent parents who send their children off to Josefson’s therapeutic boarding school couldn’t behave more differently from the overinvolved parents on Bradley’s pushy, entitled alumni board.

The upshot, of course, is that these schools aren’t all that different. The dark secret at the heart of Bradley’s success is pharmaceutical, a cabinet in the basement filled with the same stuff a place like Roaring Orchards doesn’t bother to hide — Ritalin, Adderall and lithium. And if the external specifics of Feeling’s comic coming-of-age story contrast with thriller-flavored Accelerated’s parental nightmare, both books share specific anxieties: authority and its arbitrary exercise, and the ways apparently free choices trap you into unwilling consent.

In Feeling, Roaring Orchards is an ideal place for authority anxieties; when difficult, suicidal Benjamin is dropped off there (for a tour, his parents tell him), its headmaster and founder is withdrawing into illness, leaving behind a structure of rules nobody understands.

Benjamin’s struggle to navigate the emotionalgrowth-education mushiness of the system is clever, but it’s also comfortable, drawing on a vocabulary of recovery memoirs and cuckoo’s nests. So when Gary, one of the low-functioning New Boys, starts making up stories about his sex addiction in order to move forward in “the process,” the outlandishness of his farm-animal stories is amusing, but there’s no shock in the symbiosis between cynical patient and needy therapist.

Where Josefson surprises, however, is in his earnestness. There’s Tidbit, one of the Alternative Girls (better than New, but not a Regular Kid) whose frustration with not being able to move forward under Roaring Orchards’ arbitrary rules keeps her lashing out; there’s Ellie, one of the Dorm Parents who is doubtful at best about the system, but who immediately lapses into passive-aggres-

sive jargon about feelings when her boyfriend hits a rough patch.

In fact, it’s poor, trapped Ellie who best resembles the characters in Accelerated, a smoother, tighter, more carefully plotted exorcism of the same anxieties. Accelerated sticks close to a set of parents whose primaryschool kids are experiencing the first pressures to perform, but they’re shown to be just as thoroughly cowed and co-opted as any Roaring Orchards inmate.

Hruska shows us Bradley mainly through the eyes of tabloid editor Sean Benning, beholden to his estranged wife’s father for his son’s tuition and pressured to pursue any advantage — including evaluating and medicating Toby for ADHD despite not seeing any symptoms himself. Sean’s sister jokes: “His

Ritalin, Adderall and lithium. advanced artwork is taking time from his advanced math, so they’d like to give him extra help and maybe throw in some study drugs to get him up to speed.”

After a classmate succumbs to a “peanut allergy” and Toby collapses, Sean begins to tease out a conspiracy and Accelerated takes on the outlines of a thriller.

That structure is fortunate, even if it leads to a couple of cardboard villains and a quick, pat ending. A more characterdriven story might have forced Accelerated to confront Sean’s inconsistencies, and, well, the sex. (Not only does he sleep with his estranged wife and his son’s teacher, but Accelerated opens, bizarrely, with a tryst with the mother of one of his son’s classmates in a fundraising-party bathroom — a weird choice for an introduction.) Instead, Accelerated shows how Sean is manipulated, via false choices that play on his insecurities, into surrendering his sense of what’s right for his family. (j_bauer@citypaper.net)

ARGO |B+ Forty years ago, Argo would have been an easy film to overrate; now, the reverse is true. Over the course of three films, Ben Affleck has emerged as an exceptionally solid, resolutely unspectacular director, the kind whose level of understated craft should be a requirement rather than an aspiration.

Things being as they are, however, Argo is an unexpected treat, a cracking true(ish) story whose cast is replete with great character actors: Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Titus Welliver, Chris Messina, Bob Gunton and Richard Kind, and that’s just for starters. Affleck takes the lead as a CIA ex-filtration expert whose job is to smuggle a half-dozen American embassy workers out of locked-down Tehran in 1979, a largely unknown offshoot of the contemporary hostage crisis. The plan — an absurdity arrived at after anything more plausible has fallen through — is for Affleck to enter the country as the second-rung producer of a Hollywood sci-fi movie looking to shoot in Iran, and the rest of the Americans to pose as the film’s crew, a ruse that involves generating ample publicity for the bogus production. There are soft in-jokes about the parallel prevalence of bullshit in the movie industry and covert intelligence, lots of scenes with men in pointy-collared shirts and scruffy beards involved in tense dialogue exchanges — nothing earth-shattering, but enough for a high-level diversion of a kind presently all too rare. Divorce it from awards-season hype, and Argo holds up fine: There’s no need to pretend it’s something it’s not, when what it is works just fine. —Sam Adams (UA 69th Street, UA Riverview) ATLAS SHRUGGED: PART 2 A haiku: It’s like Jesus said:

Greed is good and the meek shall inherit jack shit. (Not reviewed) (UA Riverview)

HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE |A The height of the AIDS crisis coincided with the rise of camcorder culture, and its epicenter was in Greenwich Village, heavily populated by artists and media-savvy young people. As a result, the struggle for political acknowledgement and solutions was recorded in-depth, as reflected by David France’s essential documentary tracing the efforts of ACT UP and its offshoot organization, TAG. Using no narration and the bare minimum of onscreen text — largely limited to a year-by-year tally of the disease’s mounting death toll — France lets the story unfold through contemporary footage, giving the scramble to procure recognition, treatment and effective drugs a real-time urgency. This approach virtually erases the viewer’s hindsight, affording each victory and loss a vivid, in-the-moment suspense. It also allows the villains of the piece, in particular George H.W. Bush and Jesse Helms, to condemn themselves with their own repulsive words. In the end, the sparing use of modern-day talking heads suddenly gives way to a silent montage of the survivors. The effect is incredibly moving.

The loss of those we’ve watched over the past two hours — those whose faces don’t reappear — resonates profoundly.

It also serves, as suggested by the instruction-manual title, as a primer for political action, demonstrating the change that a motivated and (mostly) united community can effect. —Shaun Brady (Ritz at the Bourse) MIDDLE OF NOWHERE A haiku: Congrats on finding yourself a new lover while your husband’s in jail!

Set in a present not far from our own, Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) labors as a “looper,” a glassy-eyed mafia grunt specializing in the offing of anonymous transgressors banished from the future and sent back 30 years for disposal. To limit liability, the employing syndicate, run by the oddly kind Abe (Jeff Daniels), periodically shoots back decades-weathered versions of the loopers themselves, stamping a non-negotiable expiration date on its freelancers. When Joe, already mired in existential woe over the finality of his career, comes face-to-face with his own creased visage (Bruce Willis), he hesitates just long enough for the more experienced, more dangerous version of himself to flee. Falling in with a single mother (Emily Blunt) and her captivating, frightening son (Pierce Gagnon), Young Joe tracks Old Joe’s movements and vice versa, each killer hacking brush to escape from his impossible situation.

Having adopted a Chinese baby girl herself, director Linda Goldstein Knowlton decided to make a doc following four teenage girls who had also been adopted from China — refugees, essentially, of the infamous One Child Policy — and raised in America.

On the surface, Somewhere Between is disarmingly touching and positive, but it barely touches on the issues these surprisingly well-adjusted teens are dealing with. The adoptive parents, for instance, remain largely unseen and unheard. That is, until an

The second collaboration between Irish rapscallions Martin McDonagh and Colin Farrell rides a more absurd route than 2008’s In Bruges, but the director’s affinity for throwaway violence, blunted female characters and the psychologically impotent men who love/hate them is as alive as ever. Like McDonagh’s debut, Seven Psychopaths tangles up the criminal world with the cinematic — but the director doesn’t intend to prove the two have anything in common. Rather, the creative-class freedom of an alcoholic screenwriter’s day-to-day life permits the plot to lumber in any direction it pleases, with varying results. Working on a freewheeling script that attempts to Tarantino-glue a crew of murderers together, Marty (Farrell) is struggling with his craft, to the frustration of his girl (Abbie Cornish) and amusement of his oddball bud Billy (Sam Rockwell), who makes rent with partner Hans (Christopher Walken) kidnapping dogs and returning them for reward cash. The pair has crosshairs placed on their heads after nabbing a shih tzu belonging to gangster Charlie (Woody Harrelson), but this isn’t a typical locked-and-loaded caper comedy. About an hour in, McDonagh gets smart, braiding together Marty’s scribblings with new and existing characters in a burly swing for the postmodern fences.

At its most congruous, the trickery works, especially thanks to Rockwell and a jamming Tom Waits, who are let off the leash and told to run. But McDonagh’s cutesy passes at the audience beget a leaden byproduct: plot points that are more sneering than steering. The fence-free setup is truly anything goes, but that doesn’t mean everything should. —Drew Lazor (Pearl, UA Riverview)

awkward scene where one girl meets her birth parents and her adoptive mother bluntly asks, “So, who abandoned her?” It’s the film’s provocative moment, and a glimpse into the depths Knowlton left unexplored.

THE MASTER |AOne night, in a toxic haze, World War II sailor Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) wanders onto a yacht chartered by Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the guru behind a nebulous self-help movement called The Cause. Dodd insists that humankind is a breed apart from the animal kingdom, but Freddie is all urges. In the first scene, as word of the armistice filters in, he and his fellow sailors fashion a woman’s body out of wet sand to celebrate, and until the movie’s final scene, that’s as close as Freddie comes to getting his end wet.

Whether he’s striking out or pushing away, he remains unsatisfied, which may be a deliberate metaphor for

“ S IMPLY

how The Master leaves us. Phoenix’s performance is a guttural wonder, and Hoffman seems to have found a whole new register for his voice, but as Freddie drifts into and finally out of Dodd’s orbit, director Paul Thomas

Anderson seems like a chess player toying with a mid-level piece, shifting him around the board without a strategy in place. The Master is less than the sum of its parts, but, oh, what parts they are. —SA (Ritz Five)

THE OTHER DREAM TEAM|B+

BRYN MAWR FILM INSTITUTE

If you remember anything from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, it’s probably America’s basketball “dream team.” But a couple notches down on the medal podium was the “other” dream team, superstars from basketball-obsessed (who knew?) Lithuania, carrying all the aspirations of their newly liberated republic on their shoulders. In the underdog-loving, longshot-favoring world of sports documentaries, one can generally expect the most unlikely victors — if given enough camera time — to overcome the odds. The Other Dream Team, the first full-length feature by writer-director Marius Markevicius, faces the challenge of breaking new ground while traveling that welltrodden path. But even robbed of suspense, the Lithuanians’ journey to somewhere improbably near the top makes for a compelling tale: a wild ride that wanders far afield from the basketball court, into life under communist Soviet occupation. —Samantha Melamed (Ritz at the Bourse)

Liam Neeson was the first and only reason Taken was such a sleeper — who the hell expected Michael Collins to loosen his necktie and pulverize three-quarters of the Albanian human-trafficker population with his bare hands? Neeson's second spin as an unbreakable (retired) CIA necksnapper, overseen by slick action specialist Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3, Colombiana), has all the gunfights and auto chases your adrenalineaddled heart desires, but it's missing the dogged undercurrent that made the 2008 original so magnetic. —DL (Pearl, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

✚ LAR LUBOVITCH DANCE COMPANY Led by its namesake master choreographer, the troupe delivers lush, effervescent movement — a lively start to Dance Celebration’s 30th season. Besides the concert dance stage, Lubovitch has created choreography for Olympic ice skaters and Broadway, so he knows how to play to a crowd. He’s a dance architect driven by musical choices, which tend toward sophisticated sonics. This program features North Star, first performed in 1978, and one of the first dances set to the music of Philip Glass, as well as Crisis Variations, done to the music of contemporary composer Yevgeniy Sharlat.

The latter was awarded the 2012 Prix Benois de la Danse for Choreography at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, which just goes to show, after four decades, Lubovitch remains at

the top of his game.

✚ PIFFARO Piffaro concerts are exceptionally delightful musical experiences, but it’s also fun just to see their exotic-looking old instruments in action. The acclaimed Philadelphia-based Renaissance band certainly has a flair for drama. This concert features the debut of their new baby, a six-foot-long shawm, a popular Renaissance woodwind.

The works they will play reflect the surprising range of music that was to be heard in 16th-

century Germany, for audiences both royal and common, secular and ecclesiastical.

✚ CALEXICO The big story with Calexico’s seventh proper full-length is that Joey Burns and John Convertino decamped from their longtime home base of Tucson to record in New Orleans; specifically, the sleepy West Bank neighborhood that gives the album its name. It’s good copy, but Algiers (Anti-) turns out to have almost no audible connection to the City that Care Forgot. In fact, it’s just as steeped in the romance and mystery of the Southwest as anything they’ve done — moody, slow-rolling desert rock laced with Norteño, mariachi

circumstances. It’s characteristic almost to the point of self-parody, instantly recalling the raw urgency of classic MG anthems like “This Year,” and it’s potent as hell. The rest of Transcendental Youth (Merge) follows suit, rife with the darkness and desperation that is Darnielle’s richest métier — though the characters given voice in these songs, mostly sufferers of some form of mental illness, are particularly troubled even by his standards.

The proceedings are augmented (or perhaps tempered) by several sumptuous, chorale-like horn charts penned by Richmond, Va.’s Matthew E. White, who’ll be on hand tonight to share some of the gentle, devotional folk-soul epics from his debut, Big Inner (Spacebomb/Hometapes) — an unlikely intermingling of Van Dyke Parks, Curtis Mayfield and Spiritualized — which occupies almost precisely the opposite end of the emotional spectrum.

✚ SOMOS Choreographer Merián Soto worries about “planetary crises of imagination,” and she’s doing her part to thwart it with SoMoS, a high-sensory work presented in an outdoor parking lot in North Philly’s barrio.

The lot takes up a full city block, and Soto’s filling it with geodesic tents, projected images, soundscapes and performers who dance with branches. It’s a culmination of a series of branch dances, which previously occurred in natural settings. With this finale, Soto aims to show us that creativity and wonderment can happen anywhere. SoMoS is massive and immersive, and docents will be on hand to help you find your way around. Feel free to get up close to the dancers and wander about the space however you like. This is going to be a very cool event.

✚ BLEEDING RAINBOW After chugging along as Read-

ing Rainbow, Philly’s minimalist noise choir got some cease-anddesist flak from PBS. Hence the name change. The roster got a shake-up, too, with bassist/singer Sarah Everton (formerly the drummer) and guitarist/vocalist Rob Garcia enlisting new axe man Al Creedon and drummer Greg Frantz for a version of Bleeding Rainbow that’s harder but more dreamily psychedelic.

On their new 7-inch, “Drift Away,” the girl-boy harmonies are front and center. Two more singles will follow, leading up to Yeah Right, the new full-length scheduled to drop in January.

You can’t stop the Bleeding.

✚ PAUL GEREMIA It’s not your imagination: Paul Geremia really has been playing the blues on the coffeehouse circuit since the ’60s. It started with the Newport Folk Festival in his native Rhode Island in 1963. “I saw [Mississippi] John Hurt in a workshop,” he recalls, “and the next year was really big for the blues at Newport — Sleepy John Estes, Yank Rachell, Skip James.” Geremia watched hard whenever he could. “I couldn’t afford even a $10 lesson with the old guys like

³ SEX ON WHEELS

Q: I’ve recently gone out on a couple of dates with a guy in a wheelchair. I really like him and am very attracted to him. I’d like to move forward, but don’t know how, or if it’s even possible. What do I do or say?

A: It’s only human to feel uncomfortable talking about another person’s disability — society teaches us at an early age that it’s not polite to stare or ask intrusive questions.

But if he’s been in a wheelchair for more than a couple hours, we pretty much guarantee that he’s had a lot of experience answering awkward questions. Remember, this probably isn’t an easy topic for him to bring up, either. (“Hey, great second date — I can still have sex, by the way.”)

So just … ask! It sounds like you’re worried that he’ll say he can’t get or sustain an erection, or that he has no sensation below his waist. First, despite popular perception, not all disabled individuals are completely without feeling or motion in their affected limbs. Ask and he may give you some idea of what he can feel and do. He may have full sensation and can get hard like no other, in which case ride that chair (or bed, or shower stall)!

Second: Sex and pleasure — even penetration — aren’t only possible in the presence of an erection. Your friend may have different erotic zones, possibly the area right above his disability, which may have increased sensitivity. The authors of The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability — a book you should put on your Kindle right now — make the good point that the process of figuring out what works for both of you can be really fun, as you get to explore new positions, toys and sensations.And while you’re doing a little research, check out the documentary (Sex)abled: Disability Uncensored for a more personal take on the topic.

some of the others could,” but by 1966, Geremia had taught himself enough to charm audiences at the Second Fret and the Main Point. He hadn’t intended the blues to be his only career, but what day job could compete?

All this time, the recipe remains the same. “I still play a combo of old blues and originals. I get as much pleasure out of playing the traditional stuff as I do the originals,” he says. “I never know what I’m going to do, I just get on the stage and play what I feel like playing.”

10.13 [ jazz ]

✚ JOE MORRIS/ WILLIAM PARKER/ MARCO ENEIDI Guitarist Joe Morris and bassist William Parker have long been two of the most original and influential voices on their respective instruments, and in some cases on each other’s — both have served as bassist in various incarnations of pianist Matthew Shipp’s groups. Their recent release Altitude, a trio date with drummer Gerald Cleaver, finds them chasing and entangling

each other, an unquenchable font of elusive invention. For this appearance in the new performance series curated by local experimental duo Archer Spade, they’ll be joined by Bay Area saxophonist Marco Eneidi.

Something of a wild card, Eneidi is lesser-known than his triomates, having been present on the burgeoning early ’80s New York scene alongside Parker but gone for the West Coast before it reached its full fruition.

out and we’re all gonna be dead soon, probably. That’s why the University of Pennsylvania Center for Ancient Studies is riding out the clock with The End of Time symposium. The keynote speaker is Dr. Elaine Pagels, author of Revelations: Visions, Prophecy and Politics in the Book of Revelation, wherein she breaks down the Bible’s horrific predictions and relates them back to the time the book was written — about the year 90. Other speakers throughout the day will discuss Mayan, Incan, Aztec and medieval end-time scenarios. The symposium is free, so if all the doomsayers were wrong, it’s not the end of the world.

their debut albums beginning to end, the resurrected Swans have shown no interest in nostalgia. What’s surprising is the fact that after a decade and a half of dormancy, founder/ mainstay Michael Gira and company have returned with two of their most vital and harrowing albums. The latest, The Seer, opens with the bleakly brutal 20-minute howl of “The Apostate,” and those who make it through emerge with another hour and a half of transcendent austerity yet to go.

Where are all the socially conscious, politically aware, multiracial prog-rocking rap acts with a sense of humor in 2012?

Well, for the most part there’s kinda-sorta only been one: Denver’s Flobots. Started by a bunch of elementary-school pals in love with Common (yay) and Rage Against the Machine (ugh), the Colorado live-band hip-hop outfit self-released EPs and dropped full albums on the majors until winding up somewhere in between in 2012 with its newest album dropped on the Shanachie label. The recently released The Circle in the Square finds the Flobots MCs yakking heavy-handedly about the ever-present ordeal in the Middle East, even-handedly about the Occupy movement and with wry warmth and sensitivity when it comes to human rights.

These days Nadia Ali is the Queen of Clubs (or at least that’s what she called her 201011 remix trilogy), but it wasn’t a straight shot to dancefloor royalty. The Pakistani American first gained popularity back in 2001 as the vixen-ish vocalist of NYC EDM act iiO, known for “Rapture” and “Is It Love?”

Ali went solo with Embers in 2009, an album that featured everything from elegant ballads to Middle Eastern-tinged

songs, but again it was the daring dance tracks like “Love Story” and “Fantasy” that made her rep. Since then, she’s gone full electronic, teaming with the programmer/producer/DJ likes of BT, Armin van Buuren, Stephane K. and the loopy Starkiller (who join Ali on tonight’s trip).

HOMECOMING KING Equal parts travel guide and cookbook, Jose Garces’ The Latin Road Home tells the tale of five places that inspire the chef, both at home and in his restaurants. By Caroline Russock

T

“

here is no better way to travel than to eat, and there is no better way to eat than to travel.” Imagine touring Spain, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and Cuba with the author of these words, Jose Garces, as your guide, hand-selecting all your meals, making sure that you come away from each stop having tasted the best each destination has to offer. Although this is not a tour that’s available, at least not to the general public, Garces’ latest travelogue-cookbook, The Latin Road Home, creates a similarly vibrant More on: sensory experience.

“Those who know me joke that as soon as I start planning a vacation, they start researching the cuisine of the place,” says Garces in an email to City Paper. “Because they know I’ll be coming back with new recipes to try — and perhaps an entirely new restaurant concept.”

Garces’ journey includes a host of international detours and, with them, the taste memories that shaped his stable of restaurants.

Beginning with Garces’ grandmother, Mamita Amada, the chef’s path into the kitchen started at an early age, and led to a career that included internships in Spain discovering the dishes that

citypaper.net

now grace the menus of Amada and Tinto. Cuban cuisine comes into play via Garces’ wife, Beatriz, whose family hails from the Caribbean island. Meanwhile, Mexico and Peru are two locales that serve as constant inspiration, whether enjoyed in taco form at Distrito or via Chifa’s bright ceviches.

Latin influence is a theme that shines through in all of Garces’ ventures, and a few key ingredients tie these diverse culinary cultures together. “Latin cuisine,” he writes, “wherever you are, tends to employ rice, so knowing how to work with rice is a critical skill for any would-be Latin chef. Chiles, too, turn up a lot, and many different ways: hot and spicy, lending pop to ceviches; roasted and ground into pastes, for depth and richness and preserved by canning. Each country’s cuisine brings so much history, so many traditional ways of doing things, that while their roots may be similar, they are in fact entirely distinct.”

Rice and chiles are two elements that come into play again and again by way of Moros y Cristianos, hearty MORE FOOD AND Cuban black beans and rice, and canguil, DRINK COVERAGE chile-flecked popcorn from Ecuador.

AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / Garces has organized the recipes within M E A LT I C K E T. The Latin Road Home into complete meals, shared experiences meant to evoke the destinations that inspired them. Each country’s chapter comes complete with not only cocktails and dessert recipes, but a map and travel crib sheet.

So while a trip to Lima with Garces might not be happening anytime soon, traveling the pages of Garces’ recipes like lomo saltado, a Peruvian soy-stir-fried beef dish, provides an avenue to the Latin road home, wherever your home may be. (caroline@citypaper.net)

been around forever. It just feels like it.

Mercer’s always-been-here vibe crescendoes during weekend brunch, when locals in their Sunday best (Eagles jerseys) fill the retro-looking counter’s black-padded swivel stools and cheery waitresses proffer “eggs Flo” (Florentine) with piping joe. It’s hard to believe this spot just opened in 2000.

A certain Mrs. Mroz ran a variety store and soda fountain in Mercer’s digs back when brothers Tom and Bobby Woltjen were growing up in Port Richmond. Bobby acquired the building in 1995, and with Tom, a union carpenter, turned the space into an ice-cream counter and coffee shop. They brewed La Colombe and made breakfast sandwiches on Le Bus bagels, way ahead of the gentrification curve.

Dina Woltjen (née Taconelli — yes, thatTacconelli), Tom’s wife, made roast pork and beef in the back, and, as Tom says, “In another year or so, we were blowing out the walls and putting in a full kitchen.

We grew and grew and grew.”

Grew the business, that is, not the cafe’s actual footprint, a cozy 49 seats. The Woltjen family packs ’em in for breakfast and lunch daily, but Mercer Cafe never feels too crowded, and the endearing staff, run by Tom and Dina’s daughter, Liza, is never far away with fresh coffee, syrup and smiles.

Chefs Rob Lapelle and Jason Masino tackle the quick-coming tickets with aplomb. Sure, the baby spinach on my eggs Flo arrived half wilted and half raw, but the hollandaise flowed like honey and the eggs were perfectly poached. Tender asparagus and hunks of crab filled a hearty omelet veined with house-made pesto. Lavished in thick whorls, Nutella added its nutty chocolate power to high pillows of challah French toast dotted with strawberries.

Mercer gets so much right. Bacon is thick. Home fries are crisp. But the greatest victory here is the cream chipped beef. “It’s my father’s recipe,” says Tom. “It’s got three ingredients: butter, heavy cream and beef.” Had he told me it was made exclusively of butter, I would have believed him. The S.O.S. bled liquid gold, conveying a richness that wouldn’t quit.

This is not only the best chipped beef in the city, but probably in the world.

Most restaurants have to clock 100 years to earn a claim like that. Not Mercer. But I’m betting it’s got a century in its future. I’ll be sure to send in my grandkids. And have them tell Liza hello. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

ust across the Delaware River from New Hope, in Lambertville, N.J., Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer have established Canal House, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a studio, workshop, dining room, office, kitchen, lair, lab, and atelier devoted to good ideas and good work relating to the world of food,â&#x20AC;? as they describe it in an email to City Paper.

For the past three years, the two women (yes, Christopher is a woman) have been self-publishing a series of gorgeous cookbooks titled Canal House Cooking.

Each themed volume is full of beautiful photos, handpainted illustrations and recipes that convey a real sense of ease. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this attitude that makes the Canal House series so appealing. When asked for advice to calm the nerves of anxious cooks, Hamilton and Hirsheimer respond with this sage advice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something goes wrong, keep on cooking, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get upset, just keep on cooking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be all right. If all goes wrong, order in Chinese.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to relax in the kitchen at Canal House, where summer days are spent potting herbs and tending to tomatoes, winter ones are warmed by a Franklin stove, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always music playing in the kitchen. Hamilton and Hirsheimer cook together every day, shooting photos and designing recipes for their cookbooks, but at midday the two take a break, setting the table and enjoying a lunch together that is never rushed.

The latest volume of Canal House Cooking is devoted to all things Italian, with recipes born in a Tuscan farmhouse that Hamilton and Hirsheimer rented. The recipes retain that wonderful Italian simplicity: ricotta gnocchi in a simple tomato sauce, sausage roasted with apples, Vin Santo-poached pears.

Publishing at the end of the month, Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Hirsheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next collection is Canal House Cooks Every Day (Andrews-McMeel), a handsome red volume filled with 250 recipes inspired by the ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily lunch ritual.

And although the cookbook is on a much larger scale than the demure volumes of Canal House Cooking, it is, according to Hamilton and Hirsheimer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;home cooking at its best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by home cooks, for home cooks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pure Canal House.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile you’re blasting Barry White songs so we knew it was you! Come get the new cone bitch, I dare you! What a pathertic whore you are. Everyone laughs at you and can’t wait until your next stunt, you’re such a fool. Oh, and P.S. Next time you commit a “crime” don’t come around blasting Barry White at 2am!

Cuz you know I got that swag and you cut your emo ass hair because some bitch told you to. So eat a dick, dickhead! Your nut ass just got housed, DICKHEAD!!!

PUZZLED EMOTIONS I love and hate you at the same damn time, you make me sick, but at the same time I wanna run to you and be held by you. Truth be told I fell in love with you after I gave birth to my son, you are my blessing and my curse. I hope one day, you’ll get

WHAT A NEIGHBOR Hey you stupid ass bitch...I can’t stand you and you know that already so why did you fake a smile at me then run over to the other neighbor house and say something about my child. You dumb fat bitch..if you were to have a baby they would have to cut his ass out of you..then you would be upset because you couldn’t take the pain...I hate some of you fat ass whores because you seem like you think that you are better than slim women and you aren’t so now here we go with the fat two of you... go eat a dick!

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

Your stupid ass makes me the fuck sick you act like I am your own personal fucking ATM bitch you need to get it together...I hate you asking me for shit..I hate even more sharing my things with you when I shouldn’t have to. You have a big fucking family why don’t you ask them sorry mother fuckers for something...anything instead of asking me. I hate the fact that I can’t leave my shit around with your ass at my damn house. You like to take shit all the fucking time. You need to learn to respect me or your gonna fucking lose me. I really don’t want to deal with you already on this level but I gotta deal with you on another level, bitch you got the right one...it aint gonna happen. You need to stop calling me when you are in a bad fucking mood because your finances aren’t my problem!

42 | P H I L A D E L P H I A C I T Y PA P E R |

it didn’t make any sense that you we pumping me for a tip! I have a child also but I still was going to give you a tip you just had to be patient until I finished my meal, farted and then was ready to pay the fucking tab. But hope that I don’t see you again telling me the same bullshit, nobody cares about your situation.

I am really sick and tired of hearing you tell me your boyfriend is missing in action who really gives a fuck that he is gone. I don’t and I am really tired of hearing that he cheated on you with your sitter. You knew that they were having sex because you saw it with your own two eyes. Next time you and I cross paths I hope that I am in my car and you are walking across the street I am going to beep my horn so loud and stay on it until you finally turn around and notice that it is me. I hate your face your attitude and everything else about you! Just know that I know where your boyfriend is at all times. If he isn’t with me...guess what me and my girlfriend are sharing him...and we are loving every minute.

NOBODY CARES...

WHY?

I see your stupid ass every morning and I hear the same shit out of your mouth each time and frankly I am so fucking tired of it. Why do you do the things that you do. I am so not feeling your stupid ass. Can’t you stay the fuck home sometimes? Or someone is going to punch you in your face immediately...that is really what the plan is to punch you in your face and run for the hills. Ps: you still smell are you going to do something about that if and when!

Why is it every damn time I go into a store here the dumbass customers gotta start with the drama?

They love to spread their drama around to the clerk other customers and anyone else dumb enough to fall into their trap. Look, just get your shit and go!

YOU ARE A FUCKIN WASTE

OH YOU THINK YOU’RE ATTRACTIVE NOW? Oh, ok. I see wht you think you’re doing...You really thought it was ok to be a total dick to me and then dump me through a text messge then 5 seconds later I see that you are in a relationship with some new bitch..this bitch looks like a tub of rotten foreskin covered up in lipgloss and cheap mascara.

I guess sine I’m older than you, you thought that maybe you would have alittle bit more swag after dating someone a little hotter and a little cooler than you. You decided to flirt your way through school and swear you are hurting someone, but really you are hurting yourself while I’m laughing at your clown ass and moving the hell on....how many bitches have you been with since that ugly trash whore found out you game? None. And how many dudes have been chasing me since day one, even while I was trying to support your nut ass? To many to count. That just goes to show how much persoanlity I have compared to you. And I still was

it together because my son needs a man not a boy that wants to tun the streets, get it together before you lose me. Sincerely Irked.

SEXY FUCKING SONG This song is really geting to me...I can’t wait to see you and play games around the house like kissing in the dark and having sex until we get stone cold tire..like we did the other night..you wore me the fuck out...I really love making love to you and when this song play I go into my own zone picturing you touching my body and kissing my pussy with those soft lips...I keep moaning and

about someone else’s spending habits (How could you pay that much for a Concert? Your cable bill is how much? Isn’t that drink expensive? etc...) Yet, some will pay $ 20 A DAY (That’s about $ 600 a MONTH for all of you who can’t do the Math/7200 a YEAR)...Again, that’s fine—But don’t toss your bad habit out on our City Streets, Jerkoffs!!

You are a dumb dude...I am not going to keep looking the fuck out for you and you can’t even do half the things that I ask you to do...what is that about...then you turn around and be nice to me when it is the fuck going to benefit you stop fucking asking me for shit! I am so fucking tired of you and I can’t wait until you get your first fucking check because then you would be off my bandwagon and finding your own! I am so tired of you taking me for granted and when I say no to certain things you sit there and fucking keep asking me over and over again. I am so tired of you getting what you want and me get left lone not having anything. Go jump off the fucking roof already and die! Piece of trash!

WAITRESS IN RESTURANT You bitch how dare you sit there and tell me your situation of you having 2 kids just to pump me up to get a tip you make me fucking sick. I don’t understand what the hell that was about because
