WHAT A WASTE: North Philly residents who have seen construction and dumping sites go unregulated for years worry new building-industry regulations won’t apply to their neighborhood. NEAL SANTOS

[ recycling ]

CREATING A DIVERSION Keeping building waste out of landfills may be a tall order in a city that has trouble keeping contractors in line. By Naveed Ahsan

rom her rowhouse at 20th and Montgomery, Yvonne Matthews has watched the neighborhood around her transform for the past 16 years. She saw the drastic redevelopment of her own block a few years ago, spewing construction dust and debris onto her property and leaving trash right outside her door. Now, she’s seeing piles of wood and debris stacking up on lots a few blocks away, turning grassy backyards into makeshift landfills. “Nothing was being done,” Matthews says of the mess on her street, despite repeated demands for help. “Eventually, we had to clean everything up ourselves.” New draft legislation, currently in City Council, would require the recycling of 60 percent of construction and demolition debris. While environmental activists cheer the notion of better standards for the handling of such waste, people like Matthews can’t help but wonder whether enforcement of such regulations is even possible in a city where so much construction appears to go unregulated. Councilman Bobby Henon introduced the bill, which would require contractors to provide the Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) with a plan to recycle 35 percent of waste in the law’s first year and 60 percent thereafter. The law would apply to residential buildings of four or more units or nonresidential build-

ings larger than 4,000 square feet. “A similar bill was proposed by Councilman [Jim] Kenney and Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown [in 2008], but it never made it through committee,” Henon says. “There haven’t been enough outlets for local people to recycle. But five years have passed, and I think it’s the right time to revisit it.” Construction and demolition debris currently accounts for 20 percent of the city’s waste stream, according to an analysis conducted by the Streets Department in 2010. Andrew Sharp, outreach coordinator for the environmental advocacy group PennFuture, lobbied for the bill, which would help bring Philly in line with other municipalities that regulate the disposition of such waste. San Francisco currently requires contractors to submit plans to divert 65 percent of demolition debris from landfills via registered transporters to registered processing facilities. In Chicago, contractors whose projects include new residential buildings with four or more units are required to recycle 50 percent of construction and demolition debris. Massachusetts, meanwhile, has statewide regulations mandating that 100 percent of certain materials, such as asphalt pavement, brick, concrete, metal and wood, be diverted from landfills. Sharp says he hopes Philly’s legislation will be “both enforceable and effective. We hope that this bill will encourage people to stop sending waste into landfills and make them become more aware of

“We had to clean the building site ourselves.”

how it can be reused.” Here’s how it would work: Within 30 days of completion of a project, the ordinance says, the contractor must submit documentation consisting of affidavits from the contractor and the waste hauler or recycler, or pay a fine. Without the required documentation, no occupancy permit would be issued. And builders who flout the law would risk having their licenses revoked or being denied building or demolition permits in the future. That should put the onus on the contractor, not L&I. But Ben Ditzler, a member of the steering committee of RecycleNOW, a campaign run by the Recycling Alliance of Philadelphia, is dubious. “L&I are already pretty swamped. It would be tough for them to enforce,” he says. Calls to L&I were not returned. An analysis of construction and demolition activity in North Central Philly released last October by City Controller Alan Butkovitz bears that out. Butkovitz described code enforcement by L&I and other city departments as “inefficient” and “inadequate.” The report describes sites without required posted permits or equipment to contain waste, dust and debris. It also found obvious shortdumping onto nearby lots or debris simply left on the work site after the construction was done. Jon Wybar, co-owner of Revolution Recovery, a local vanguard in the industry that currently diverts 80 percent of waste it collects from landfills, says the legislation is important if only for its educational value, since “a lot of people don’t know that [constructionwaste recycling] exists and that it’s the same cost.” Indeed, Al Sciubba of Allied Construction feels his options for recycling demolition waste are limited. “If we were to tear down a building, we would first have to contact the trash-disposal company. The

disposal company would then send us a dumpster only for concrete, [another for] wood and [a third for] mixed trash. Everything that’s not concrete or wood is sent off into the mixed trash [to landfills].” Sciubba believes that disposal services should provide more options to recycle waste materials if the new bill is to be enforced properly. But Wybar says Philly already has the infrastructure to implement the bill without burdening the construction industry, and that many construction sites would already be in compliance if the law took effect today. However, unless waste handlers are better monitored, he adds, the impact might not be as hoped. He says failing to recycle materials as advertised is a “rampant” problem, and “it’s definitely happening here.” And what’s a recycler anyway? “If you’ve got a load that’s got a lot of mixed materials in it and just pull out the metal, you can consider yourself a recycler. Or if you do what we do and comb through every ounce of that load” for a broad range of materials to be recycled or diverted, the same definition applies. Wybar says things are beginning to change for the better, though. Some waste handlers “started out completely shamming the game, and now we’re seeing some of them invest in the facilities” to actually divert more material from landfills. He hopes legislation could help accelerate that shift and keep new refuse transfer stations from opening in Philly. Given that change — and the shortcomings of site-by-site enforcement in Philly neighborhoods — Ditzler argues that it would make more sense to tackle enforcement at the receiving end. “Instead of contractors hitting certain percentages, it would just be easier to require transfer stations to recycle it,” he says.

RAY SKWIRE FLICKR: PHILLYBITS

... gets occupied

SPECIAL CASE ³ WHILE THE JURY trial of 12 Occupy Philly

members who held a Nov. 18, 2011, protest inside a Wells Fargo Bank branch dragged on last week, District Attorney Seth Williams laid out his case — on Twitter, of all places. He tweeted (not, it must be said, unbaited) that, “accepting the punishment is part of civil disobedience” and “people can’t intentionally break the law 4 publicity purposes & then hope to benefit by telling me to prosecute others.” Yet that’s just what Occupy supporters were telling him. After all, the DA originally offered defendants participation in an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program, according to Larry Krasner, one of seven lawyers working the case pro bono. Last June, the 12 opted to go to trial in Municipal Court and were found guilty of defiant trespass and conspiracy to commit defiant trespass. After that, some defendants sought the ARD. The DA refused, they say: Hence, the weeklong Common Pleas Court trial. The 12 were acquitted Tuesday. “It’s astounding that they’re occupying a courtroom for an entire week to prosecute these people,” Krasner said. “This is a courtroom where the judge routinely has really serious cases, gunpoint robberies.” He pointed out a civil-affairs officer seen hugging defendants on his way to the witness stand. This is not the norm in criminal courtrooms. Even the defendants seemed bemused. Take an exchange in which Assistant DA Jim Stinsman asked defendant Larry Swetman if he thought he had permission to be at the bank. “My First Amendment was my permit. … I took the fact that the bank was open … there was a waiting area for me to wait in,” Swetman said. Stinsman asked: “Is that what you were doing? Waiting?” Swetman’s response: “Waiting on the world to change, I suppose.” The defense argued that the 12 were protected by the First Amendment, as well as by a reasonable due justification to speak against an immediate and greater harm (i.e., Wells Fargo’s predatory lending), and that the jury had the legal ability to acquit based solely on the defendants’ good character. Stinsman, on the other hand, closed with an admirable impression of an Occupy “mic check” to suggest the problem was not the content of the defendants’ speech but their actions — that is, disrupting business. Eagles fans shouting, “Mic check: We are the people of Philadelphia and we are not leaving this bank until Andy Reid is fired,” he insisted, would face the same repercussions. Defendant Dustin Slaughter, however, said the medium was the message. He was “excited” that that message was heard by a jury of his peers. —Samantha Melamed

ing to YouTube data, came soon after the video was posted. Busy reporters moved on. Sabur is now free and has filed a civil-rights lawsuit against the city. The video will no doubt be played again for that trial, if the city doesn’t settle first (the administration, the DA and police would not comment on that case). Philadelphia taxpayers paid nearly $8 million in 2012 to settle claims lodged by alleged victims of police abuse. THE VIDEO BEGINS with Askia Sabur and Officer Donyule Williams falling to the ground: Williams on his back, Sabur face down, and Officer Leocal on top of the pile wielding his ASP, a telescoping steel baton. Leocal then administers three blows with his ASP around Sabur’s head. The loud cracks can be clearly heard above the crowd’s screams. “Yo, he down man, God!” the videographer yells. As Williams gets up, Leocal pulls his gun and wildly staggers in a circle, pointing his Glock 9 millimeter toward the gathering crowd and barking. “Get the fuck off the [or my] corner.” Sabur, hunched over, staggers to his feet. A female officer and Williams hold him by the back of his shirt and then Leocal turns, grabs the shirt, and strikes Sabur’s lowered head twice. “They trying to do, kill him?” a man asks. One man keeps yelling, “Askia, stop. Stop fighting, Askia.” DeLaurentis said this indicated Sabur had attacked the police earlier, off camera. What is on camera is this: Sabur holds his hands to his front, clearly not eager to be cuffed. But he never strikes police or makes threatening motions. Leocal moves behind Sabur.

convictions against two officers and prompted an effort to reform the LA police. Public outrage had also followed televised recordings of officers turning dogs and high-pressure firehoses against civil-rights demonstrators in 1963 Birmingham, Ala., and the Chicago “police riot” against anti-war protesters in 1968. But the 1983 debut of the Sony Betamovie, the world’s first camcorder, marked something new. By decade’s end, camcorders had become ubiquitous, and Americans were beginning to record every detail of their lives. America’s Funniest Home Videos, which premiered in 1989, was inundated with as many as 2,000 tapes per day. It was only a matter of time before a camcorder-wielding American turned his attention from his living room to the street. According to Pew, 87 percent of adult Americans own cell phones, and 44 percent of them use phones to record video. The percentage using phones to make video has more than doubled since 2007. And YouTube and social media have democratized the distribution of video, just as the camcorder and, subsequently, the cameraphone revolutionized their recording. YouTube offers viewers a veritable mixtape of police brutality, including recordings from squad-car-mounted video cameras and fixed security cameras, like the one that captured Fullerton, Calif., police beating a homeless man to death in 2011. The footage can also, of course, help exonerate officers facing false accusations. “Film doesn’t lie,” says University of California, Los Angeles, law professor Joanna C. Schwartz. “It really levels the playing field in various respects to have this image that cannot be cross-examined.” But in Philly, the impact of such video on policing has been uneven. In 2009, the Daily News’ Pulitzer Prize-winning series “Tainted Justice” found evidence that a rogue narcotics squad was robbing bodegas; reporters reviewed one store’s surveillance footage showing police attempting to disable a security camera. The officers, some of

whom were also accused of sexual assault and fabricating evidence, remain on the force. In 2008, a Fox 29 helicopter videotaped Philadelphia police dragging three shooting suspects from a car and beating them. A grand jury decided against pressing charges, and an arbitrator overturned the firing and discipline of involved officers. The NAACP blamed then-District Attorney Lynne Abraham for sabotaging the prosecution. And in Sabur’s case, despite what the video shows, the DA declined to charge Leocal or Williams. Instead, they charged Sabur — even though Internal Affairs, which often fails to sustain allegations against officers, found that Leocal had used excessive force. Later, the DA complained that the “video is only a portion of the incident, is inflammatory and is prejudicial,” and successfully requested that anything regarding the “investigation and any potential discipline of Officer Jimmy Leocal” be excluded from Sabur’s trial. Krasner had argued to the contrary: Leocal’s history — five other Internal Affairs excessiveforce complaints, including one where his wife accused him of grabbing her by the throat and threatening her life — was pertinent. Leocal’s partner, Williams, also had five such complaints. Sabur spent the last two years in jail waiting to clear his name. In the meantime, Krasner says the case bounced around a District Attorney’s Office that insisted on trying Sabur but where no prosecutor wanted to take on such a weak case. The video was uploaded to YouTube two days after his beating, and was followed by protests, extensive media coverage and a City Council hearing on police brutality. But most views, accord-

not cops.” His ruling was overturned on appeal. The New York Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Hadiyah Charles, who was arrested while filming three black youth undergoing a “stop and frisk” in Brooklyn in 2012. That same year, the city of Boston paid $170,000 to Simon Glik, arrested and charged with violating the state’s wiretap law for recording an arrest on his cell phone. Glik was acquitted, but “wiretap laws” prohibiting surreptitious recordings have been used to thwart citizen videographers in other states. In Glik’s case, the First Circuit Court of Appeals found that “though not unqualified, a citizen’s right to film government officials, including law-enforcement officers, in the discharge of their duties in a public space is a basic, vital and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment.” But the court ruled there are limits to that liberty, such as recording covertly or taping during an “inherently dangerous” traffic stop. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that the First Amendment protects a wide range of activities, including the right of nonjournalists to gather news. But while appeals-court judges often side with citizen videographers, the matter is not settled — and could remain that way until the Supreme Court rules. And there may not yet be sufficient conflict among appellate courts to compel the Supreme Court to take up the matter, says Jeff Hermes, director of the Harvard Law School Digital Media Law Project. Last November, the high court declined to review a Seventh Circuit ruling against an Illinois law that made recording police a felony. Notably, Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner, one of the nation’s most prominent conservative jurists, dissented. During oral argu-

ments, he fretted that “once all this stuff can be recorded, there’s going to be a lot more of this snooping around by reporters and bloggers.” “Is that a bad thing, your honor?” the ACLU lawyer asked. “Yes, it is a bad thing. There is such a thing as privacy.” Posner’s logic is confusing, as many rights to privacy are considered shed once someone steps onto a public street. But his dissent echoed the district court ruling his colleagues overturned, which found that “there is nothing in the Constitution which guarantees the right to record a public event.” The Fourth Circuit also ruled against an established right, though inconclusively so, while the Eleventh Circuit has recognized such a right. The Third Circuit, whose jurisdiction includes Philly, ruled in Kelly v. Borough of Carlisle that “the right to videotape police

officers during traffic stops was not clearly established” at the time of the arrest in the case before them. But it has not yet answered whether there is such a right. The ACLU lawsuit on behalf of Christopher Montgomery cites numerous other incidents that took place in Philly both before and after Ramsey’s memorandum. It could ultimately give the Third Circuit another shot to firmly establish the right to record cops. “When George Holliday recorded the beating of Rodney King, he taught us that ordinary people can use ordinary resources to fight police misconduct,” Pennsylvania ACLU executive director Reggie Shuford said in a statement when the lawsuit was filed. “It is essential that we preserve the right — and the tools — for holding our public officials accountable for their behavior.” (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

³ MY ITALIAN MARKET neighborhood has

its share of old dear landmarks: DiBruno Bros., the Rizzo mural, Connie’s Ric Rac. But it’s one of the new ones that’s about to break my heart. No, Teri’s isn’t out of here yet, but the very fact that the narrow breakfast-nook-turned-tackydisco-turned-al-fresco-hipster-haven is for sale makes me sad beyond mere tears. It’s a bargain at $600,000 (for the entire building and its liquor license) so it’s bound to get snapped up. If Teri’s departs I’ll miss the tough-crusted sausage (that sounds so wrong), the Purple Panther cocktails (it was supposed to be pink, but) and the kids in fur hoods and platforms playing with my greyhound. ³ After throwing the garish Umami fundraiser in its towering new digs at Old City’s Power Plant,the Theatre Confetti peeps (Nicole Paloux, Bi Jean Ngo) move on to actual theatrics with the March 8 opening of their Aaron Cromie-directed, A. Rey Pamatmat-scripted play Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them.(For more, see p. 30.)“Edith’s characters are dynamic and its themes are topical: young people who deal with loneliness, neglect, abandonment, sexual identity and growing up,” says Ngo. The Power Plant on N. Second is ideal for the splashy Confetti, a raw space that actors and designers can custom-fit to their imaginations, according to Ngo (you should’ve seen the blueballoon-filled whimsical forest of string erected for Umami). “Because of the starkness of its design, it’s like an explosion of the senses,” he says. ³ Over the weekend, outlets from the Hollywood Reporter to Grantland spread the rumor that Jay Leno would finally cede his NBC Tonight Show slot to later-night fellow Jimmy Fallon in 2014 with an announcement coming before spring. Not that we doubt it, but, would this deal include Fallon’s current house band, The Roots? Would new author/drummer ?uestlove’s band expand as Letterman’s did when he moved to 11:30 p.m.? ³ I want you guys to do me a favor this weekend. On Friday night, Kim Gordon will be in town to play Space 1026 with Bill Nace as the duo Body/Head. You’ll pack the place. It’ll be noisy. Good, good. The favor: Please don’t steal any of her equipment. The last time a Sonic Youth member played Space 1026 (Thurston Moore,months ago), somebody swiped his prized vintage guitars. The SY couple is going through a divorce and doesn’t need the distraction. This city doesn’t need another black eye. Behave yourselves. ³ A fond farewell is due Justin “Chachi” Benoit — the onetime member of Cold Cave, roommate of its leader Wes Eisold and writer for Eisold’s Heartworm Press — who passed away at the end of February. ³ Icepack gets illustrated every Thursday at citypaper.net/criticalmass.

Back in the day, it was possible for artists to get discovered by putting their art up in a business — think as far back as Parisian bars, or New York when Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns were young, or, as seen in the recent documentary Beauty Is Embarrassing, Wayne White’s word paintings first getting attention on the walls of L.A. diner Fred 62. Nowadays, you play the word-association game with “coffee-shop art” and you get “soothing,” “earth-tone abstract,” “poorbut-proud Nicaraguan farmers” or, from the Bad Art Good Walls team, “forlorn redheaded women”— or, on the less corporate end of the spectrum, “the owner’s hippie aunt.” In 2013, is it possible to find art that goes beyond the purely decorative in places where people primarily go to eat, drink or buy stuff? A great many artists in Philly find a clean, white-walled gallery setting in which the art is the primary draw important enough to band together and pay rent on the city’s many artist-run spaces. But many of those same people will tell you that any show, even if it’s not in the context of fine art, can be a good opportunity.

“It’s like a street performer,” says Adam Wallacavage. “If they’re good, people will stop; if not, they will walk by.” Wallacavage, whose ornate, octopus-limbed chandeliers were recently shown at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, is an alum of Space 1026 currently represented by Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York. He’s readily shown his work in retail locations like Tattooed Mom’s on South Street. He’s had bad experiences — like lending a chandelier to a salon that promised to sell it in a week and instead returned the work a year later covered in dust and fake blood. Still, Wallacavage says, showing in non-gallery settings can be a sort of litmus test of whether something is good or merely trendy. “An artist should prefer someone to fall in love with a piece as opposed to being taught to like it because it’s a popular thing to buy or it’s essential to collect.” Artists around the city mentioned Benna’s Cafe in East Passyunk as an example of art and coffee working well together; the spot at Eighth and Wharton has been exhibiting the work of emerging artists, with opening receptions on second Fridays, since 2005, and many of the shows sell out. Benna’s owner Nancy Trachtenberg explains that the commitment to changing and curating the art in the environment inspires costumer loyalty: “They appreciate that we go the extra mile to make their environment special.” Across town at the Random Tea Room in Northern Liberties, owner Becky Goldschmidt agrees, saying, “I enjoy having a new visual experience every month as well as hearing the positive feedback from viewers,” that the art is a “major part” of the

Non-gallery settings can be a sort of litmus test.

[ seeking out the hush and the hum ] ³ comedy/music

Swede-pop sweethearts bumming over the relative silence of The Tough Alliance, Studio et al. should take heart in the lusty return of their spiritual forebears: indie-dance darlings and Gothenberg hometown heroes The Embassy. Sweet Sensation (International) finds the duo partying like it’s 1989 (again), drifting from Madchester to Majorca on breezily unbuttoned house grooves and lusciously thick, New Orderish basslines. Glinting acoustic strums bring the soft-focus sunshine, and singer Fredrik Lindson’s wan, perennially flat intonation keeps it effete. —K. Ross Hoffman

Musical comedy albums will always have an accelerated diminishing-returns problem, as each once-sharp bit of wit gets dulled by repetition. But give Stephen Lynch this: Lion (What Are) is pretty damn funny on the first lap, and pretty damn pretty after that. In fact, if it weren’t for some jolting lines (“I’d rather eat a hobo’s asshole” comes to mind), these folk-ballads could’ve snuck into the rotation of some exhausted overnight adult-contemporary DJ. Lynch plays the TLA March 13 (livenation.com). —Patrick Rapa

³ soul/reissue Hyped-up unearthings of vintage funk/soul “lost classics” are a dime a dozen nowadays, but it’s not often you encounter something as truly strange and striking as the first two LPs from Virginia eccentric Jerry Williams Jr., aka Swamp Dogg. Total Destruction to Your Mind (1970) and Rat On! (1971) — remastered/reissued on Alive Naturalsound — make good on their gonzo titles with faintly absurd yet salient satire on war, consumerism and race politics all backed by roiling, Stax-style funk. —K. Ross Hoffman

See “My Life’s Been Taken” from his latest collection, Gurf Morlix Finds the Present Tense (Rootball). Morlix is not a showy poet, but he can sing from inside the head of an admitted killer. “Yeah I did it, guilty as can be/ Disregard for life in the second degree. But my reasons. they’ll never understand/ What goes through the mind of a desperate man.” By the end only the hardest listener doesn’t feel sorry for the perp. —Mary Armstrong

[ movie review ]

BARBARA [ A ] In Christian Petzold’s pensive drama Barbara, the wind that scours the country-

Melodrama without portentous dialogue.

LONG AGO ³ IF YOU’VE BEEN wondering what Hayden’s

been up to, look no further than Us Alone, his first effort in four years. It’s a well-crafted collection for grownups, with fantasies of escaping the baby’s cries for just one night (“Motel”), confrontations over adultery (“Just Give Me a Name”) and advice on the disposal of his mortal shell and other worldly possessions (“Instructions”). But if Hayden’s name doesn’t ring a bell, “Almost Everything” recounts his career in five measured moments. He sang for fun, he sang for friends, he sang for the sensitive kids who liked grunge and MTV Unplugged in equal measure: “The year was 1994/ They were cross-legged on the floor/ Listening to my bedroom lore.” He sang for Neil Young, he sang for David Geffen, he sang under more pressure and with smaller returns, and then he stopped singing and settled down. But now he’s got a home studio, where he can sing while his kid’s asleep, and he’ll sing for you if you seek out the hush and hum of his gentle pop. Even in Hayden’s heyday, he was the sort of major-label underdog you had to seek out. On 1996’s Everything I Long For,his gift for imagining characters facing the worst — or overreacting to run-of-the-mill bad luck — is almost comical, but Hayden plays it deadpan every time. He wants you to feel for the guy in “Skates” who wants to find his wife’s body in the river, despite not being able to swim; you can tell by his howls. Likewise, Hayden mutters and yarls through “When This Is Over,” so you know it’s a shame that a mom is drowning her two young sons. But what of the kids who shove too many rocks up their noses in “Driveway,” or the abashed suitor whose rose loses its petals in “Stem”? Is their pain any less? At its lowest points, Everything I Long For comes off as morose as Mark Eitzel, yet earnest like Eddie Vedder. But “Tragedy” is a glum gem, and when Hayden explores other moods, as on the content “We Don’t Mind” and the harsh “You Were Loved,” it’s obvious: He sings because he can. Who wouldn’t?

WALL OF SILENCE: Wanting to leave East Germany to be with her lover in the West makes Barbara (Nina Hoss) the object of Stasi surveillance.

M.J. Fine does it again

side is as much of a character as the eponymous female doctor, banished to a rural hospital after expressing her wish to leave East Germany. As Barbara (Nina Hoss) navigates country lanes on her bicycle amid grass bent sideways by gusts, the reedy actress looks as if she might be blown off the screen herself — the landscape often expresses vulnerabilities the characters cannot, either out of reticence or fear. Like Germany at the time — the film is set in 1980, although few chronological markers are given — Hoss is divided, her inner self walled off from any who would attempt to come close. From the first scene, when her new colleagues gaze at her from a distance as she enjoys a solitary cigarette, Barbara is constantly under surveillance — mostly by the brutal Stasi, who violate her with regular cavity searches, although everyone, from colleague to patient, is a potential spy. Even if she weren’t planning to cross the Wall to be with her West German lover, with whom she stages furtive meetings in the woods, she’d be a suspect anyway. Everyone is. Barbara is Hoss’ fifth film with Petzold, and the movie rests on the depth and subtlety of their working relationship. Petzold trusts the actress to allow her character’s humanity to seep through, even as she shirks from human contact; in turn, Hoss trusts the director to capture minute, almost imperceptible gradations of feeling. There’s a persistent streak of melodrama at Barbara’s core that amounts to a reprise of a World War II Hollywood classic, but it’s melodrama through the wrong end of a telescope, without overbearing music or portentous dialogue. Petzold handles personal, formal and political concerns in such harmony that it’s difficult, and not especially desirable, to separate one from the next. The movie is dense but never feels arduous — assembled with easy mastery, it is engrossing throughout. —Sam Adams

“Nobody is going to buy an $1,800 oil painting at a dive bar.” warm atmosphere the Room conveys and that an artist’s followers help business. One reason shows at Benna’s often sell out is that, on average, works are priced closer to the “impulse buy” end of the spectrum. “Nobody is going to buy an $1,800 oil painting at a dive bar,” says Hawk Krall, who has shown his food-inspired graphic works at a number of businesses, most recently at American Sardine Bar. On price, Beth Heinly, a new member of artist-collective gallery Vox Populi who’ll be showing at Benna’s this month, says, “I would rather buy art for $20 to $40 than a T-shirt — so if you’re thinking of showing at a coffee shop, market to me.” But though artists showing at non-gallery spaces may adjust the prices of their works downward, they generally keep more of the money than they would if their work had sold at a gallery, as “restaurants or bars … typically take less of a percentage of the sales, or none at all,” says Krall. Jerry Kaba, an installation artist involved with Practice Gallery [full disclosure: Annette Monnier is a co-founder of Practice Gallery], does work that doesn’t traditionally fit in a retail situation — his artist statement, about exploring the effects of industry on humanity, includes the sentence “Cancer, birth defects and most other afflictions are at an all-time high.” Still, he can compare showing work at Fishtown’s Rocket Cat Café with showing at a white-walled gallery. “I felt some people took the time to stop and appreciate it, and others just thought it was part of the cafe,” he says. However, “I often feel people don’t really look at the art in a gallery either — maybe the only difference is why they came in the door.” (annette.monnier@citypaper.net)

³ CHAD ROBERTSON, OF Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, begins a recipe for bread in the latest issue of food magazine Lucky Peach by invoking a time “long before the invasion, before the werebeavers took over.” The bread looks inedible, but that’s beside the point. Robertson hits the balance between meticulous detail (grinding flour by hand, building an oven from castoff bricks) and sarcasm to write a dystopian, post-apocalyptic recipe. That such a thing now exists isn’t surprising — or, at least, no more so than the entire apocalypse-themed issue of Lucky Peach that includes the recipe. The end of the world as we know it is the backdrop of a decent proportion of young-adult books and movies, and predictions of doom dominate our fictions about the future. But apocalypse isn’t just for kids, as three recent and upcoming releases demonstrate in exactly 320 pages apiece. Nathaniel Rich’s quirky, well-crafted Odds Against Tomorrow (April 2, Farrar Straus and Giroux, 320 pp.) extrapolates a near future of environmental catastrophe, beginning with an earthquake that eats Seattle and catapults Odds’ hero, Mitchell, into a career predicting the probability of disaster. By the time a hurricane floods Manhattan, Mitchell’s more outlandish scenarios (nanobot invasion) give way to plausible FEMAbrokered fears. You can’t help but wonder whether Rich greeted factual Sandy with the same anticipation his fictional disaster consultants brought to their Hurricane Tammy, but you also can’t deny the chill that comes with offhand mentions of flooded subway tunnels. By being so immediately relatable — and by starting Odds with a healthy sense of humor — Rich stands a little to the side of the apocalyptic mainstream. America-Five, in Ariel Djanikian’s The Office of Mercy (Feb. 21, Viking Adult, 320 pp.), is much more typical — a communal underground utopia without hunger, desire or fear of death, inhabited by survivors of “the Storm,” a man-made catastrophe that all but decimated the world population. America-Five is technologically advanced, but isolated and precarious; its inhabitants rely on an Ethical Code that prohibits empathy and protects them from the above-ground world, populated by primitive “tribes” left behind by the Storm.

Djanikian is careful in building a consistent world for her characters, down to the elaborate ethical justification for the Office of Mercy, which exterminates the tribes to minimize their future suffering. She’s less careful in taking that world apart after her heroine — Natasha Wiley, 24 years old but with the whipsawing emotions of a teenager — gives in to her curiosity about the outside world and starts to doubt the Code. But Djanikian’s seriousness allows her to pack a lot into Office: not just Natasha’s rebellion, but a love story complicated by hints of incest and adoption; not just a dystopia, but a parallel dismantling of the myth of the noble savage. Karen Lord’s The Best of All Possible Worlds (Feb. 12, Del Rey, 320 pp.) likewise begins with a planet’s destruction, but it’s calm and measured where Office leans more frantic and overheated. This is partially a matter of character: Worlds is structured around a love story, too, but a reserved adult courtship rather than an intense first flush. More importantly, though, Lord is working at a different scale, fitting her characters into a full-scale, old-fashioned episodic space opera, with a polymorphous, multiracial universe drawn from Lord’s native Caribbean. The breadth of Lord’s world and her stately pace give her license to do things very earnestly that sharper novelists (which Rich and Djanikian both are) cannot: exploring unabashedly geeky stuff like telepathy, but also pursuing a range of thought experiments about creolization and social structure. Hard science fiction, with its emphasis on a logical, understandable universe, is essentially optimistic, and Lord might have strayed from the hard sciences by assembling, essentially, an anthropological space opera. But Worlds retains the genre’s optimism, fighting against the foregone conclusion of a dark, difficult future full of inedible whole-grain bread. (j_bauer@citypaper.net)

ABCs of Death

NEW THE ABCS OF DEATH | BAnthology films are by nature hit or miss, and with more than two dozen crammed into just over two hours, The ABCs of Death can’t help but feel like a jukebox of the nasty, brutish and short. Genre-fest impresarios Ant Timpson and Tim League challenged 26 filmmakers from around the world to each make a horror quickie inspired by a letter of the alphabet, and while the obvious prompts were studiously avoided (Z, thankfully, does not stand for Zombie, nor V for Vampire), most of the directors ultimately seem less interested in crafting a miniature thriller than in out-weirding their colleagues. (Spoiler alert: The Japanese win.) The film starts strong, with Nacho Vigalondo showcasing the same vicious wit that characterized his feature Timecrimes in “A Is for Apocalypse,” and directors like Xavier Gens, Simon Rumley and Jorge Michel Grau limn their pieces with social commentary, but the majority of the films are little more than rudimentary setups for bloody punchlines. Some are tiresomely inexplicable, like Thomas Cappelen Malling’s WWII furry fantasy or Yoshihiro Nishimura’s closing head-trip, which recreates the 9/11 attacks via a pair of jiggling, tattooed breasts, while others offer empty-headed shock, like Jason Eisener’s “Y Is for Youngbuck” or Noboru Iguchi’s say-no-more “F Is for Fart.” A refreshing number of entries forgo dialogue entirely, notably the hallucinatory “O Is for Orgasm,” but too many could be filed under “M Is for Meh.” —Shaun Brady (Ritz at the Bourse)

CONTINUING 21 AND OVER | CNo one expects the writers of The Hangover to have a light touch with race and gender, but Jon Lucas and Scott Moore’s collegiate romp is disturbingly tone-deaf about two topics that should never be packaged with dick jokes: gun violence and suicide. Visiting Jeff Chang (Justin Chon), the high-school pal they always address by his full name, boorish white boys Miller (Miles Teller) and Casey (Skylar Astin) are hellbent on getting their tightly wound buddy wasted — even though he has a huge med-school interview the next morning. Miller and Casey’s gradual realization that Jeff is not the clean-cut, straight-A student they always knew him to be is their attempt at bringing a friends-forever moral to the beer-pong table, but it’s botched so badly that it taints every boys-will-be-boys moment. Sneaking into a sorority house? Fine, that’s funny. On-campus firearms and hidden attempts to off oneself are not. —Drew Lazor (Rave, UA Main Street, UA Riverview)

hen Brooklyn bred business consultant Mike Giammarino moved to Philadelphia in the mid-’80s, his family would follow the same routine when they came from New York to visit: They’d call and order a couple pies from Russo’s, Giammarino’s South Philly neighborhood pizzeria, when they were on their way, pick them up and bring the to the house for lunch or dinner. Decades later, Giammarino is the one makMore on: ing pizzas, in the same Carlisle-and-Jackson corner that Russo’s inhabited for more than a dozen years. Well, it’s not pizza exactly that’s emerging from the oven custom tucked in the back of this white-tiled nostalgia factory. Giammarino specializes in tomato pie, stated explicitly in the full name of his three-month-old, cash-only business: Gennaro’s Tomato Pie. But his thin-crust, 16-inch lovelies are not what passes for tomato pie in the ’45 and ’48 zips (see: the sauce-only squares of Cacia’s and New York Bakery), nor are they of Northeast Philly tomato-pie school (see: hidden cheeses at Tony’s and Santucci’s). They’re something else,

something special, something I can taste right now as I type these words, more than 24 hours after polishing off three Gennaro’s pies with a couple of pals. “I looked at what we were doing in the ’40s, which was an oldfashioned tomato pie,” says Giammarino. “I wanted this business to be distinct, not another Lombardi’s,” his family’s high-end pizzeria in Manhattan, whose Rittenhouse offshoot was demolished in 2005 to make way for the 10 Rittenhouse condos. Plans were drawn up to reopen, but Giammarino’s father’s heart issues shelved them until last year. “My dad was feeling better and we wanted to expand out again,” he explains. “We started looking in Center City, but quickly realized the rents were so high it would make it almost impossible.” They cast their real-estate net wider, eventually settling on a location in New Jersey. They were in lease negotiations there when the old Russo’s opened up: “It just made sense as a first location. It would be easy to handle and it’s MORE FOOD AND close to my house,” important considering DRINK COVERAGE Giammarino still spends two nights a AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / week in New York. So he moved in. M E A LT I C K E T. It’s hard to imagine Gennaro’s, which is named for the man who founded Lombardi’s in 1897, anywhere else than this cozy 34-seat corner space kitted out with WWII model planes, sepia-toned family portraits and a chandelier as intricately beaded as a frock of Lady Mary’s. Sweet waitresses with chaste white uniforms and Noxema-commercial faces balanced the bubbling, blistered pies with a ballerina’s grace, weaving through the chrome-plated red Formica tables and teeny wood chairs in a >>> continued on page 38

cocktails at the home of a master mixologist or poking around the curing room of a charcuteriecentric chef, you’re in luck. SideTour, “an online marketplace for experiences that help you explore your city,” is gearing up to launch in Philly, and those are just the beginning of the food-and-drink options they’re offering. I had a chance to preview SideTour last week, and I’ve got to say that it’s kind of a genius concept. The first night was a pork-heavy family-style dinner hosted by Russet chef Andrew Wood. And “hosted” is the operative word here. Like a dinner party in a private home, Wood graciously welcomed guests to his restaurant with a glass of house-made limoncello, creating a real sense of conviviality that you generally don’t get out of a restaurant meal. With shared bottles of wine and totally unstuffy vibes, the meal was punctuated by Wood’s warm and wise words about local produce and farmers — not to mention a guest appearance by a head-on suckling pig deboned, rubbed with herbs and fennel and roasted porchetta-style and rosey slices of salumi. The following night, Mike Treffehn of Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. fame opened the doors of his Queen Village home to a handful of cocktail enthusiasts. The theme of the evening was Tiki culture, and along with Polynesian-recipe printouts and an expertly stocked demo bar (think Demarara simple syrup, Velvet Falernum and homemade grenadine), Treffehn went as far as to put together a dreamy, tropical ukulele soundtrack to accompany the cocktails. The evolution of daiquiris was discussed (while sipping daiquiris, of course), zombies were garnished with flaming lime cups of over-proof rum and orchids, and some serious mai tais rounded out the night. These two SideTour experiences had a real intimacy about them, a much more hands-on feel than you’d get from simply dining out or ordering a few rounds of drinks. The passion that Wood and Treffehn have for their vocations was palpable in both their enthusiasm and hospitality. No one can complain about some personal attention from guys like that.

By Carly Szkaradnik

Âł NOW SEATING Breezyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ | The newest addition to the sparse Point

Breeze dining scene is a tiny sandwich-centered cafe with a one-eyed cat named Sergeant for a mascot. The menu offers smart updates to local classics (think grass-fed beef cheesesteaks and pork roll perched on pretzel rolls) in addition to plenty of variety for the vegetarian set â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that pretzel roll also figures into a melt made with Kennett Square mushrooms. Sandwich supplements include a daily selection of soups, salads, hand-cut fries and some unexpected touches: boiled Cajun peanuts, anyone? Open Tue.-Sat., 8:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m.; Sun., 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., 2011 Reed St., 267-858-4186, breezyscafephilly.com.

Toast | This section of Spruce has seen a confusing array

of short-lived coffee shops over the past year or so, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping that Toast sticks where previous tenant YOLO could not. The new spot offers breakfast and lunch plus brews for all palates from a variety of local roasters (Philly Fair Trade, One Village and Green Street represent). The eponymous specialty is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;egg toastâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; housemade English muffins topped with poached or fried eggs and a variety of toppings, like sautĂŠed greens and mushrooms or sausage and warm apples. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find standards like egg sandwiches and oatmeal; the mid-day offering of sandwiches and salads includes one very handsome ABLT (where the A denotes avocado, not an editing oversight). Open Mon.-Fri., 7 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 8 a.m.-6 p.m., 1201 Spruce St., 215-821-1080, toastphilly.com. (carly@citypaper.net) Got A Tip? Please send restaurant news to restaurants@citypaper.

Fitler Dining Room | Few empty restaurant spaces have been watched as closely as the one that once housed MĂŠmĂŠ and, before that, Melograno. Its latest occupant is this French-accented, homey-chic spot from the owners of Pub & Kitchen and the Diving Horse. Highlights of chef Rob Marzinskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deft opening menu include gnocchi with Burgundy snails, hazelnuts and Chartreuse butter and Ozark Mountain Berkshire pork tenderloin, belly and boudin blanc with creamy coco beans en cocotte. A prominent cheese case invites you to peek inside; the quality of its contents dictates that you absolutely should. Open Sun., Wed., Thu., 5-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 5-11 p.m., 2201 Spruce St., 215-732-3331.

[ i love you, i hate you ] To place your FREE ad (100 word limit) ³ email lovehate@citypaper.net ACADEMY HOUSE I love you soooo much babe!! I love everything about you from your sexy, smile, your silliness. B-more accent, the way you take care of me and mini me, our lovemaking and even your snoring. We compliment each other well! I’m obsessed with you, your like a drug and I’m a addict looking for my next fix, no rehab. I want to spent the rest of my life you with you. I look forward to our calls each day, seeing your sexy ass popping up at the job or a surprise visit at your second home. That’s all I wanted to say, I love you Mr. Williams!!

BITCHY NEIGHBORS

derstand that time heals the broken hearted. I am definitely healed and ready to be seen. Let me show you that I can be different this time around!

I LOVE YOU I love the way you look at me. I love the way you smile. I love the way you’re shy sometimes, Every once and a while. I love it when you look at me, When I ‘m not looking at you. You think I do not realize it, But really...I do. I love the way you cuddle. I love the way you sleep. I love all of you, Your nose, your lips, your hair, your feet. I will never stop loving you. You are so amazing sweet. I love the fact that I love. I have loved you from the very start. And

your fucking loans, ALL I wanna do is bend you over my knee and start a fart fire with your ass and ill make a shrimp scampi just to prove to you that I should be accepted to your fucking culinary school. JUST, LEMME FUCKING COOK!

LIZARD LOVE You gotta realize you drive us all crazy working your way up and down the bar serving the drinks. Every one of us enjoys your sweet ass as much as the cold beers. We all realize you will be graduating soon and heading into the cutthroat hair dressing field. Please keep a shift here...I am willing to let you “do my head” at any time if it helps you profes-

You stupid bitch...you know who you are...I guess you moved on my block a few years ago...nobody really was paying you any attention but I do know that your husband supposed to be a preacher but he is a drooling dog! I don’t understand your whole family. The only one that seems to have some sense is your son. He is kind of corky but he speaks. The mom and the oldest daughter you pieces of shit... both of you can suck a fat dick...you don’t have to speak....spare me that...you both a fake and ugly with your big faces..

FROS IS HAPPY WITH JOANNA Joanna since you came in my life, you changed my whole way of looking at happiness, love. You give me butterflies in my gut when you talk me. I never met a real, honest, beautiful an loyal woman like you, you opened my eyes to a whole knew world, I so wanna be the man you deserve, just the way you look at me makes me feel like I’m the only man in this world, you look right down to my soul, to the person I am, not the person I was or the person people tell you about....I feel like the luckiest man in the world, I’m gonna show you I’m the man you & your kids deserve...kisses xoxo hugs.

WASHED UP You know pretty much who you are...I don’t have to blast you foreal foreal, but you know that I want to slap the shit out of you and do a ambush makeover... you are just a waste of skin, sight and everything else. You are not young and not a beauty queen. Stop saying how much you want to leave, just leave already.

I DIDNT PUT ANYTHING IN YOUR DRINK

I am glad that you and I have came to some type of understanding of what needs to be done in our lives. You always make me smile and feel like I am on top of the world thinking about you while you run through my mind. All I think about is you. I love you and I want to be with you...don’t you understand that we were meant to be together. Can’t you un-

You sent me a message on here one year ago this March. It breaks my heart every day that the distance between us is reality. That the progress we made towards “the plan” was sabotaged by an unidentified asshole. I hate that all of our attempts to be together over 10 years have been derailed by external forces. That this is and there’s nothing I can do about it. That I don’t even know who you are anymore, and I hate that I am still fucking in love with you despite being abandoned and shut out by you completely. All that is left are memories, pictures, and dreams that fade more and more each day. Till I see you again, when we are ghosts, and we are reprimanded for not following god’s plan. At which point I will point the finger at you. Things are the way they are because it was your decision for them to be this way. If I were our decision, we would have worked through this and been together the way true soul mates are supposed to.

On the corner of 17th & JFK: You brighten my morning. I love seeing you holding hands as you walk to the corner, turn toward one another, and gaze tenderly into one another’s eyes. The depth of your ardor—undiminished by rounding bodies, graying hair, or the cane used for support—delights me. It’s a miracle of timing that I come upon you in this ritual—about to kiss before paring to your workday—-again and again. I take it as a sign that says, “Take cheer! Such love exists! You will find it!” Thank you for the hope you give me. I love your love for one another.

I see you almost every day at this garbage hotel. I’m sure you have some man who is undeserving of you. I see it in your eyes. I just want to tell you how beautiful and shapely you are. I would give my right arm to hold you with my left arm forever. I would love nothing more than to take you out of that fucking gift shop forever, then leave everything and every one behind. Your smile and laugh give me strength to make it through the day. I hate being shy!

I FEEL GOOD

STAR TWIN 2013

TO THE MATURE COUPLE

I AM SHY

I know we met through unconventional means, but how you gonna take a restraining order against me? If only you could remember the night we shared together after I bought you that drink. You was so confused when you woke up next to me. Did you change your number? I keep calling and calling but some dumbass keep answering. If you read this, please consider not having me restrained.

many need it because they have no home training. Keep the beggars off all city transit including the ones selling oils, candy, and bootleg cd’s by having more law enforcement riding the cars in uniform or undercover. I am sick and tired of getting on the Market Frankford Line and being asked to contribute to someone’s cause. Do all that and maybe just maybe your ridership will get some class too. Does anyone know what happened to the Ghost Rider a certain newspaper use to employ? Get him back too!

YOU’RE RUDE & CRUDE now that I’m to be your wife, You hold the key to my heart.

sionally...won’t take more than a few moments to finish me off!

LISTEN TO ME

SEPTA WON...

Listen to me you sneezing, coughing, weezing, tylenol guzzling, overweight, pop-corn scarfin’, never move your big ass from the recling chair at the office receptionists! I am perfectly good goddamn aware that I am 22 years of age and should know my mothers’ god damn birthday, but seeing is that I didn’t, is no excuse to give me your enlarged smelly lip. I don’t wanna fill out your fucking fafsa, I don’t wanna show you my fucking G.P.A, I don’t want

the 2012 Transit Oscar from the American Public Transportation Association. From “Outstanding Public Transportation System” in a major metropolitan area. This award was from the physical rail system. Great! Now do me a favor: Get the machinery in line by keeping it clean on all lines. Not just on your suburban cars. Then have each and everyone of your employees attend customer contact skill classes. Some only need a refresher but too

All you do is complain to the people that are trying to help you and you tell me that you are just really rude and crude and getting what you want from anyone and everyone. Your attitude means a lot to a lot of people. And you just give it to everyone that comes in your path and I don’t think that shit is right! I hate you and everything that you stand for. You are worthless and just plain old a jerk! Eat shit whore! ✚ ADS ALSO APPEAR AT CITYPAPER.NET/lovehate.
